Zhao Chen led the army and continued to advance. Only when the sky turned dark did he order the army to stop.
Because he didn't want to waste all his time on the march, because the deadline given by General Wang Jian was only two days, so he had to hurry.
Otherwise, if they spent more than half of the two days on the road, how would they attack? Time was too tight, and it was not good for the battle.
Under Zhao Chen's strict orders, they were already less than 20 miles away from Fei County.
Zhao Chen had already sent out a large number of spies to investigate the situation. He was prepared to take advantage of the night to find out more before starting the siege in the morning.
This time, he was prepared to take down the city with an open and aboveboard army. Because of time constraints, he did not want to use any strategies, and because a good fighter did not have outstanding achievements.
It was impossible to win by stratagem. Only the combination of positive and strange was the true king's way.
Only then could he train an iron-blooded army. Just as the enemies were still communicating and hawking in the lively night market. Zhao Chen's spy had already passed through the relaxed guard that had yet to be fixed.
Neither Jing Yu nor Huang Yu had expected Qin Jun to return so quickly. They had only talked about it in the morning, and they were already arriving at night.
This was simply unimaginable in their minds.
Those secret agents were Zhao Chen's shadow guards, and they were personally led by Ying Sha, who had already broken through to the Innate Realm.
They were hiding in all the important parts of the city, such as the city gates, warehouses, and so on. He was prepared to take down Zhao Chen when he attacked.
The next day, before the sun had even risen, Zhao Chen and Gao Shun led the cavalry and infantry into formation and assembled the siege weapons.
He also ordered Gao Shun to command the Breaking Ranks Battalion to attack personally. He was prepared to have the rest of the Qin army act as a feint attack while Gao Shun's side acted as the main attacker, taking down this city in one fell swoop.
No one would have thought that the main force of the siege would be less than a thousand infantrymen, not nearly ten thousand.
This was a misunderstanding in their thinking. On the city wall, the Zhao soldier who was originally leaning against the wall and sleeping woke up. He rubbed his blurry eyes and was suddenly frightened by the silence outside the city.
"Thump." The weapon in his hand involuntarily fell to the ground.
He saw many soldiers lined up neatly outside the city. They were all wearing armor and holding weapons. In front of them were three infantry formations, behind them were two archers, and finally, a large number of siege weapons were arranged one by one.
Thousands of cavalrymen guarded the rear to prevent any sneak attacks.
The entire open space was filled with Qin soldiers who were filled with killing intent. They stood silently, but a heavy killing intent swept over, making it difficult for people to breathe. It felt like dark clouds were covering the sky.
"Ah! Help! Qin army! The Qin army is attacking!"
The originally quiet city wall was instantly awakened by a mournful cry.
All the soldiers and even the civilians in the city heard it. It turned out that this soldier was scared out of his wits by the killing intent of the Qin army. He was a new soldier and had never seen such a battle array. His heart instantly collapsed.
For a moment, the defenders were in chaos. The Qin army under the city wall began to attack.
"Dong dong dong!" Deafening war drums sounded throughout the world.
"Everyone, attack! Kill!" Zhao Chen ordered. He rode on his yellow horse and commanded the cavalry from afar.
"Kill, kill, kill! The valiant old Qin, strengthen our rivers and mountains! We won't stop until the blood is drained!" The uniform sound of the bugle echoed in the surroundings.
Under the command of their respective commanders, all the infantrymen advanced step by step.
"Archers, advance! Prepare to fire!" A general ordered the archers to advance a hundred steps and then suppress the enemy with their bows and arrows.
It would create favorable conditions for the infantry to attack the city.
"Beng beng beng" The sound of arrows being released from the bowstrings was endless.
Arrows flew towards the city wall from below. It was so densely packed that it covered the sky and the sun.
"Whoosh whoosh, bang bang!" They were constantly shooting at the chaotic soldiers on the city walls, not on the walls or shields.
"Quick, quick, everyone gather. Raise your shields and lie down. Don't stand up. Quick, quick!”
When Jing Yu heard the sound, he immediately rushed over to command the soldiers to fight.
Under his command, these recruits slowly calmed down and listened to his orders to raise their shields to defend.
"Men, go and inform the city lord to arrange the young and strong. Prepare rolling stones, wood, and golden juice. Mobilize the young and strong to help defend the city. Hurry up and go!"
Jing Yu looked at the situation on the city wall. After carefully peeking his head out to check, he quickly said to his nephew, Jing Jie.
He also knew the seriousness of the matter. He immediately lowered his body and bent down to leave the city wall.
"Soldiers, prepare to attack the city. He pushed the charging cart up and prepared the catapult. Three consecutive shots. Fire.”
A huge chariot was slowly moving under the push of hundreds of people, approaching the city gate.
The catapults loaded their shells and fired them. The huge stone shells let out ear-piercing screeches in the air and landed on the city walls and inside the city.
"Bang bang bang, ah, I've been shot, please save me.”Many of them were hit by the stone bullets, and some of them had their feet pressed down by the stone bullets, unable to move. They could only ask their companions for help.
However, no one dared to risk being gathered to save them. They could only watch as they bled to death.
Jing Jie had already mobilized a large number of young men to prepare the city defense equipment under the city wall. He also braved the stone bullets and arrows to tie them up and carry them up.
It wasn't that someone died from the arrow. The battle was extremely tragic.
"General, bad news! The enemy was preparing to attack the city. They began to use the charging chariots to crash into the city gate, and the scaling ladders were also set up.”
A general saw the enemy's movements and could not help but shout. Before he could finish speaking, an arrow pierced through his throat.
"Quick, Archers, shoot and suppress the enemy. Rolling Stones, Wood, and Golden Juice, prepare.”
Jing Yu and his nephew quickly stood on both sides and commanded the battle.
When the Qin army began to climb the ladder and attack with shields in hand, Jing Yu gave the order to shoot arrows and use rolling stones to snipe the enemy.
He still used a hook to push the ladder away. The Qin army below could not help but be hit by those stones and wooden blocks, falling off the ladder.
However, they continued to advance. From time to time, there would be people breaking through the city walls, but they were quickly chased off by Jing Yu and his men.
" Gold drop ", a stinky feces was poured down.
Many soldiers were scalded, and they wailed incessantly.
Seeing this, Zhao Chen ordered the archers to stop the vehicles and let them shoot from above to suppress the enemy.
Two huge wooden carriages were pushed by the soldiers and slowly moved less than a hundred steps away from the city wall.
Although Jing Yu had ordered his soldiers to use arrows to stop them, the Qin soldiers still pushed him to a spot not far from the city wall.
The archers on top of them looked down from above and started shooting at the soldiers. For a time, the enemy suffered heavy casualties.
The attacks on the city wall immediately weakened. Zhao Chen ordered Gao Shun to attack. At the same time, he had the catapult fire one last time to suppress the enemy so that he could attack as soon as possible.
