As for the Qin army defending the city, they fought very hard.
The main reason is that in order to fulfill Xu Feng's order, Qin Jiang Jiang did not send the main force of the Qin army to defend the city wall.
At this time, the guards of the city were mainly the more than 1 soldiers of the original Wei army brought by Xu Feng in Anyi city before the reorganization.
Although many of these original Wei soldiers had changed into iron weapons at this time, the armor on them had not been changed.
Compared with those elite soldiers of the Qin army, there is still a big gap between them.
Even so, with these Wei soldiers defending the city, they still repelled tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers, and they stormed for two days.
Whenever a soldier of the Zhao army climbed the city wall, and the scale was not small, one or two teams of elite infantry of the Qin army would come up and kill the soldier of the Zhao army who climbed the city wall.
Qin Jun can show weakness to Zhao Jun and attract him here, but it doesn't really let Zhao Jun break through the city.
Therefore, Jiang Jie's order was very simple. A small number of Zhao soldiers were allowed to kill the city wall, but they were never allowed to build a bridgehead on the city wall to cover more Zhao soldiers behind to climb the city wall.
In this case, even if the elite Qin Jun is not careful, Zhao Jun will really break the city.
"Continue to attack tomorrow!"
The strong attack on the second day was still fruitless, Zhao Xie didn't care.
On the 26th, Zhao Jun began a strong attack on the third day. The two sides fought bloody for a day, but Zhao Jun still failed to break into the city.
On the 27th, Zhao Jun began a strong attack on the fourth day, but returned without success.
The four-day storm caused nearly 3 Zhao Jun casualties.
On the 28th, Zhao Jun started the fifth day of strong attack. If there is not much improvement on this day, Zhao Xie will almost become impatient.
As a result, Zhao Jun's strong attack on the fifth day really brought good news.
"Your Majesty, a group of troops from our army climbed up the city wall, and they have already held a section of the crenel on the city wall, and are now covering more soldiers to climb the city wall."
General Zhao Jun sent such good news to Zhao Xie.
Chapter 156
156 Zhao Xie's Harsh and Unkind
[Please recommend for collection!A small mistake in the back has been corrected! 】
"Everyone hold on, let the brothers behind come up."
On the city wall of Pingyang, dozens of Zhao soldiers guarded a city wall crenel, covering a ladder at the city wall crenel behind, and more Zhao soldiers climbed the city wall.
"Quick, kill them all and defend the city wall."
On the city wall, a general of the Qin army shouted.
It's a pity that the number of soldiers of the Qin army at the city gates is too small. Five thousand soldiers of the Qin army have fought so far, and there are less than 3000 left in each city.
On the head of Pingyang East City, where the battle was the most tragic, was the main direction of Zhao Jun's attack, and now only [-] Qin Army infantry were left fighting.
It is precisely because of the heavy casualties of the soldiers of the Qin army defending the city on the front line that the defense of the Qin army became more difficult and more and more loopholes appeared.
"General, it's almost over. If we don't increase our troops, the soldiers at the city gate will almost be unable to hold on."
At this time, Jiang Yan, who was appointed by Xu Feng as the defense general of Pingyang City, personally sat at the head of Pingyang Dongcheng, standing in the gate tower of Dongchengtou.
At this time, a pawn of the Qin Army rushed over in a hurry and asked Jiang Ye for instructions.
Because the distance was too close, Jiang Jie could even see it with the naked eye, and those Zhao soldiers on the top of the city not far away also knew the danger of the Qin army on the east side of the city at this time.
Even so, Jiang Ye still did not issue an order to increase troops.
But in Pingyang City, behind the city wall, groups of soldiers of the Qin Army had already been ready to go to battle at any time, and there were thousands of them.
"Wait a little longer, you can put a few soldiers of Zhao Jun on the city wall."
With a long sword in his hand and his eyes slightly squinted, Jiang Lie gave such an order.
"promise."
After the Qin soldier heard Jiang Jie's order, his eyes widened, and he couldn't understand it, but he still conveyed it.
"My lord, good news, good news!
The soldiers who attacked from the east gate had already reached the city wall by two groups, and the Qin army was about to be unable to hold on. "
Half an hour later, a general of the Zhao army excitedly rushed to Zhao Xie and reported this.
"Good job, haha!
Then add another [-] troops to the east gate, and let the soldiers break through the east gate and enter the city with all their might. "
After Zhao Xie heard the news, he was also very excited.
"Your Majesty, God bless my Great Zhao. Pingyang City is about to be conquered, and the Tyrant Qin Emperor will also be a prisoner of your Majesty."
"That's right! With the bravery of our soldiers, once they reach the city wall, it is basically equivalent to breaking the city.
The Qin army in Pingyang City has suffered more than half of its casualties, and it can no longer hold the top of the city. "
"This battle depends entirely on the wise leadership of the King."
"Your Majesty will surely go down in history and be admired by all people!"
At this time, the counselors around Zhao Xie also believed that Zhao Jun's breach of the city was imminent, and began to flatter Zhao Xie crazily.
"Haha, after this king ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, I will never treat you badly."
Zhao Xie also benefited from the flattery of the counselors around him, and said with a big smile.
"Kill!"
At this moment, the battle on the wall of the east city of Pingyang City has entered the most tragic stage.
More than a thousand soldiers of the Qin army fought the final bloody battle on the top of the city, but there was a steady stream of Zhao troops climbing up the city wall through several ladders, competing with these soldiers of the Qin army for control of the top of the city.
"General, increase your troops, the soldiers really can't stand it any longer, the city is really about to fall."
A blood-stained Qin general rushed into the tower and begged Jiang Ye.
"kindness."
Seeing that the timing was almost up, Jiang Lie nodded slightly, and issued an order: "Ben ordered the general, let the commandos behind the city, a team of [-] people, go to the city.
Two thousand more soldiers were added, and these Zhao soldiers who had already climbed the city wall were killed in one go. "
"promise."
After hearing Jiang Jie's order, that Qin general also shouted excitedly.
A moment later, two thousand Qin Army infantry came from the city, passed the horse paths on both sides, boarded the city wall, and joined the battle.
"The general has orders, kill them all, leave no one behind!"
A group of soldiers of the Qin army rushed up the city wall, looked at many Zhao army infantry who had already climbed the city wall, and shouted coldly.
"promise."
The Qin army's soldiers in black clothes and black armor, with killing intent in their eyes, responded in unison, and then rushed to kill the Zhao army's soldiers on the city wall.
"Ahhh!"
Immediately, the screams on the city wall became louder.
The two thousand new infantry troops of the Qin Army who joined the city wall, formed a team of a hundred people, and slashed at the soldiers of the Zhao Army frantically.
These veterans of the Qin Army not only had rich combat experience and tenacious will, they even wore iron armor and held iron long knives in their hands, and quickly dispersed groups of Zhao Army infantry.
No infantry of the Zhao army could withstand the charge of such an infantry of the Qin army.
A 700-man Qin army even crushed three or four Zhao army infantry one after another, as many as [-] people.
This time, nearly two thousand Zhao army infantry who had already climbed the city wall were killed. They had never seen such fierce soldiers.
"It's been tricked, we've been tricked, this is an ambush by the Qin army."
Suddenly, Zhao Jun panicked, and some soldiers shouted in horror.
Such a shout made those Zhao Jun infantry who had been overwhelmed by the soldiers of the Qin Army even more flustered.
Less than two quarters of an hour later, most of Pingyang East City, which had already fallen, was recaptured by the Qin army.
At the same time, in this round of counterattack, more than 2000 Zhao soldiers will be completely left on the top of Pingyang city.
In the aisle of the city wall at the east end of Pingyang, the corpses of soldiers of the Zhao army were piled on top of each other, and they were convoluted several times, and blood soaked the entire aisle.
Then, the blood flowed along the horse road and into the city.
"General, Zhao Jun was driven down by the soldiers."
General Qin came over to report to Jiang Jiehui.
At this time, Jiang Ye also looked confused, and said, "Why so fast?"
"General, is there a question?"
Hearing what Jiang Ye said, the general of the Qin army was even more puzzled and asked.
"Well, no, the soldiers are doing very well.
While the enemy army is retreating, let the soldiers take a good rest to prepare for the next wave of enemy attack. "
"promise."
Jiang Ye was also very depressed at this time. He didn't expect that the two thousand Qin army infantry who went up would be so fierce.
It took only a quarter of an hour to kill more than 2000 Zhao army infantry who had already climbed the city wall.
In the end, Zhao Jun's infantry who fled to the city did not even survive one out of ten.
Jiang Ye had waited until now to increase his troops, and let so many Zhao Jun infantry climb the city wall in order to make Zhao Jun show weakness.
Let Zhao Jun think that the Qin army in the city is not strong enough.
It is certain to drive Zhao Jun down from the city, but Jiang Ye never thought that it would be so fast!
"These Zhao troops are too useless, I should have known that I would only send a thousand soldiers this time.
I hope this counterattack did not scare Zhao Jun away.
Otherwise, if it affects His Majesty's plan, I will suffer. "
Jiang Jie was depressed in his heart, with a wry smile on his face.
On Zhao Jun's side, Zhao Xie, who had been waiting to celebrate the breaking of the city and expect good news, soon saw the defeated Zhao Jun on top of Dongcheng.
This time, Zhao Xie, who was originally celebrating, immediately turned ugly.
"How is this going?"
Zhao Xie pointed to the army of Zhao who had been defeated in embarrassment in front of Pingyang East City, and asked.
No one answered Zhao Xie's question.
Those counselors who had been flattering Zhao Xie before, all lowered their heads at this moment, and everyone spoke.
"Immediately bring over the general who commanded the siege, and I want to ask him, what is going on?"
Zhao Xie roared.
Half a day later, a general Zhao was brought to Zhao Xie.
"Sun Hao, what's going on?
Our soldiers have already attacked the city wall and gained a firm foothold, why were they beaten down again?
You tell me clearly. "
Zhao Xie looked at General Zhao who was kneeling in front of him, and asked in a cold voice.
"Returning to Your Majesty, we have fallen into the tricks of the Qin people.
They set up an ambush in the city, deliberately leading our soldiers to the city wall.
Then they set out in ambush and drove back our soldiers who had climbed the walls.
It's because of the improper command of the humble minister, and I ask the king to punish him. "
General Zhao, named Sun Hao, lowered his head and reported to Zhao Xiehui.
"Come here, drag him down and behead him."
After Zhao Xie heard this, he was very annoyed and roared angrily.
