Attacking Yi 'an was much more difficult than attacking Chi Li.
After all, the attack on Chili City was a surprise attack. The defenders of Chili City did not expect the Qin army to cross the Taihang Mountains and attack directly.
In a hurry, some of the materials for defending the city were not prepared enough.
But Yi 'an was different.
When Chi Li was attacked, Yi 'an had already started to make preparations.
In addition, Yi 'an was relatively close to the Northern Region, so they needed to transport supplies to the Great Wall of the Northern Region all year round. Therefore, there were still some reserves in the city.
Therefore, in general, Yi 'an seemed to be much harder to chew than Chi Li.
Huan He obviously knew about these things.
That was why the 70,000-strong army had directly pressed forward, not preparing to take turns to attack.
This time, Xia Lan did not act rashly like last time. Instead, she followed the pace of the army and steadily participated in the siege.
Fortunately, the task assigned to them this time was to attack the city gate.
The main task of this group of sixty-one people was to follow the battering ram and wait for the city gate to be broken through. Then, they could directly charge in.
The battle began, and the army charged towards Yi 'an City.
The war was as cruel as ever. At every moment, soldiers who attacked the city died.
At every moment, there would be some Zhao soldiers who would be shot by arrows and fall from the city walls.
On the siege ladders, Qin soldiers swarmed up, attempting to charge up the city walls.
However, the Zhao soldiers also knew that if they allowed the Qin soldiers to climb up the walls, the consequences would be dire.
Therefore, all kinds of rolling wood, falling rocks, and even kerosene poured down the city!
At the Qin army camp in the distance.
"Commander-in-chief…"
Wang Ben looked at Huan He with a dark expression as he saw the battle was in a stalemate.
Huan He didn't say anything.
He looked up and asked in a low voice,""What time is it now?"
"It's already three quarters into the evening."
On the right, Yang Duan He cupped his hands and replied.
Huan He nodded with a serious face, then hurriedly asked,""Any news from the scouts in the Northern Territory?”
Everyone remained silent.
In fact, before attacking Yi 'an, Huan He had already sent spies to the north to monitor the movements of Li Mu's army.
Although he had already predicted that Li Mu's army would not return to help, Huan He still did not dare to let his guard down.
After all, the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing. Once something went wrong, it would eventually lead to a complete annihilation.
"Pass down the order!"
"Everyone, speed up the attack!"
Huan He thought for a moment and then ordered.
The lack of news from the scouts made Huan He even more worried.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and planned to use his life to conquer Yi 'an City!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
……
The war drums sounded!
The soldiers who were attacking the city instantly understood what their commander meant and all charged forward bravely.
At the west gate of Yi 'an City, Xia Lan and the other soldiers responsible for attacking the city gate quickened their pace.
"Brother Lan, is there a problem?”
Yuan asked in a low voice while holding a Teng Shield.
Xia Lan did not say anything. She only frowned slightly.
"Ha!"
Suddenly, a soldier at the front shouted.
"Ha!"
Behind them, the soldiers carrying battering rams shouted in unison!
"Hey!"
Then, the soldiers carrying the battering rams shouted in unison and pushed the battering rams out.
Boom!
The huge battering ram smashed into the city gate of Yi 'an City.
"Ha!"
Everyone took two steps back, and then-
"Hey!"
Boom!
With another loud bang, the battering ram hit the city gate again!
After the huge city gate was hit twice, dust flew everywhere!
At this moment-
Bang!
A huge wooden barrel was suddenly thrown down from the city wall.
After the wooden bucket fell to the ground, it instantly shattered into pieces.
Black liquid flowed out of the barrel!
"It's kerosene!"
"Be careful!"
Fire oil?
Xia Lan was shocked when she heard that.
During the Warring States Period, kerosene was basically extracted from animal and plant fats.
Although it was far inferior to the alchemical fire oil refined from oil in the Song Dynasty, it was still a good combustion improver.
At this moment, the kerosene was flowing under their feet. If the enemy on the city wall used fire arrows to attack, then their group would be in trouble!
"Shieldbearers, protect!"
Xia Lan shouted.
Instantly-
All the soldiers holding Teng Shields gathered together and blocked the area covered by kerosene.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
……
Xia Lan had just set up her defenses when countless flaming arrows shot down from the city wall!
Bang!
Bang!
……
The arrows hit Teng Dun and made a loud noise.
Looking at the situation in front of her, Xia Lan felt that it was a little tricky.
If the enemy threw a bucket of kerosene on Teng Dun, they would not be able to deal with it anymore.
From the sound of the drum, he could tell that Huan He, the commander of the vanguard army, was anxious.
Not only was he anxious, Xia Lan was also a little anxious.
According to history, Huan He would die in this battle.
Now, they were attacking Yi 'an City. If he didn't remember wrongly, Feixia was a place twenty miles north of Yi' an City.
This meant that Li Mu, who had killed Huan He, could arrive at any time.
If they could take down Yi 'an and occupy the city, they might be able to change the ending of history.
If they did not take down Yi 'an, they would never be able to defeat Li Mu's cavalry in this flat land.
"Yuan, give me Teng Dun!"
At the thought of this, Xia Lan shouted.
Hearing this, Xia Lan's soldiers were slightly stunned.
This sentence was so familiar!
"Brother Lan!"
Yuan was worried when he heard this.
However, Xia Lan did not give him a chance to speak at all.
He directly snatched Teng Dun from his hand and then came to the back of the city breaking hammer.
"Berserk!"
Following Xia Lan's low shout, a faint red blood aura began to appear on his body!
"Attack!"
Xia Lan called out in a hoarse voice after preserving 20% of her rationality.
The soldiers carrying the battering rams seemed to realize that they had to break through the city gate as soon as possible.
Immediately-
"Ha!"
Everyone took two steps back.
"Hey!"
The battering ram was released!
However, Xia Lan stomped her foot and threw Teng Dun, who was still holding a few arrows, out. She then held the huge battering ram with both arms and pushed it hard!
Bang!
The force of the huge battering ram instantly increased by quite a bit. With just one hit, the city gate of Yi 'an City shook.
"Again!"
Xia Lan shouted.
Everyone shouted again!
"Hey!"
Boom!
This time, the city gate could no longer hold on.
The door bolt inside was broken, revealing a gap that could allow one person to pass through.
"The city gate is broken!"
The soldier in front shouted.
"Stop, let's do it again!"
However, Xia Lan saw countless Zhao soldiers blocking the gate and knew that they could not break in so quickly.
The only way was to break through the city gates!
Everyone was only slightly stunned, but they obeyed Xia Lan's order and rammed the city breaking mallet again!
Bang!
Boom!
The huge impact directly knocked down the city gate of Yi 'an!
The Zhao soldiers behind the city gate saw this and retreated.
However, there were still many people who were hit by the huge city gate!
"Kill them!"
Xia Lan's eyes were bloodshot. She raised the sword in her hand and charged straight at the city gate!
"Follow the general!"
Butcher Chou also shouted loudly and rushed in.
At the same time, about 30 miles north of Yi 'an, tens of thousands of cavalrymen were quietly hiding in a valley.
The leader was Li Mu, one of the Four Great Generals!
