Zhang Han, who was wearing a purple-gold battle armor, was commanding today's siege battle from a distance through the messengers.
Wave after wave of Qin troops launched a fierce attack on Handan City in the distance. Countless Qin soldiers fought against the dense arrows fired from the Handan city wall. After suffering nearly two hundred casualties, the first batch of Qin soldiers finally arrived at the city wall.
Immediately, countless ladders were set up, and then the Qin soldiers climbed up along the ladders one by one. And more Qin troops approached one after another from behind. Some people were climbing ladders, while others were shooting back at the city wall, constantly shooting at them.
And about a hundred people, escorting a city ramming vehicle, came to the gate of Handan City, and then started to rush into the city gate with all their strength.
Of course, every time they collided, they faced huge pressure. The Korean army on the city wall would never let the Qin army crash into the city gate safely. Countless arrows took away dozens of Qin soldiers surrounding the car that was protecting the city. .
But soon, more Qin troops arrived, and then continued to protect the city ramming vehicle and charged against the tall and thick city gate one after another.
At the same time, some Qin army archers were taking risks and shooting arrows at the city wall. Not only to suppress the firepower on the city wall, but also to at least make the Korean troops on the wall have some scruples and weaken their archer output. environment of.
Of course, the casualty ratio between the siege and defenders at this time must be an exaggerated number. Countless Qin soldiers fell in a pool of blood every moment. Similarly, the Korean troops on the city wall had a hard time, and the Qin army's fearless attack also caused huge casualties to them.
However, compared to the Qin army attacking the city, the Korean army, which had a geographical advantage on the city wall, suffered less casualties. However, I don't know if it was due to a series of failures and finally being besieged in Handan City. Their morale was not high, and they defended the city for more than ten consecutive days. Many people already have deep tiredness on their faces.
In contrast, the morale of the Qin army on the attacking side was much higher, although they could not attack for more than ten days. However, their previous huge results made them full of momentum, and behind them was a famous general named Zhang Han who had never lost a game since the beginning of the war. Many Qin soldiers have blind worship in their hearts.
"shoot!"
On the city wall, a Korean general roared, and then hundreds of archers drew their bows and fired arrows at the city wall. Although it was impossible to be very accurate, facing the densely packed Qin army below, dozens of people were shot at once. Among them, there were probably more than ten or twenty people who were just unlucky and were shot in vital parts. died on the spot.
but. The next moment, under the city wall, those Qin troops also responded with a wave of arrows, although the arrows fired from the bottom up were somewhat weaker, coupled with the protection on the city wall. But even so, this wave of arrows also wounded or even killed some Korean soldiers on the city wall.
Judging from the situation of both warring parties, the Korean army has the advantage of defending the city, but its numbers are obviously insufficient. In addition, the accuracy and shooting speed of the archers were completely inferior to the Qin army. The Qin army was quickly suppressed in many cities due to insufficient suppression. Climbed the city wall.
Faced with this situation, the Korean army on the city wall was even more confused. Fortunately, not many Qin troops appeared on the city, and they were defeated again at a small cost.
The Korean army on the city wall did not relax at all, and the countless arrows did not weaken at all, and continued to suppress the Qin army behind who wanted to climb the city wall. But as time goes by, this kind of suppression can't keep up with the speed.
There have been more than ten battles in the past, and although there were dangers every time, the Qin army was able to be beaten back after paying a small price. But for some reason today, the Qin troops attacking the city were obviously more fearless and fierce than before, and their numbers were even larger!
Countless ladders were pushed down by the Korean army on the city wall at the risk of their lives, but more ladders were immediately put up.
The rolling logs and hot oil used in the siege in the city had been used up a few days ago. At this moment, they are completely relying on human lives and archers to suppress the Qin army attacking the city. This kind of casualty ratio is definitely higher than in the past many days. Consumption is greater.
"What's going on? Why is the Qin army's combat effectiveness so much higher today than before?"
A high-ranking Korean general cut down a Qin soldier who had climbed onto the city wall to the ground with one sword. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly hugged the dying Qin soldier fiercely to the ground before he died. His legs were cut off, and another Qin soldier who had just climbed onto the city wall did not hesitate and struck him on the head fiercely, regardless of the swords of the other Korean soldiers around him.
If not??He saw the opportunity quickly and cut off the hands of the person who was holding his legs on the ground with a sword, and then rolled around like an imageless bastard. Perhaps this general with a good status would die among several of the most ordinary people. In the hands of the Qin army, he became the dead soul under their sword.
And once that happens, it will definitely be a huge blow to the morale of the Korean army defending the city! And with their morale already low, they really didn¡¯t know what would happen.
"General! These Qin troops seem to be different from those in the past few days!"
A deputy general ran over. His armor had many gaps, his face was covered in blood, and you could even see a huge knife mark on his chest.
Nodding slightly, of course the general also noticed. Although the Qin army's siege effort was not small in the past few days, it was definitely not comparable to today. And most importantly, judging from the strength of these Qin armies that attacked the city, they were far more ferocious and powerful than those that attacked the city before.
But doubts are doubts, and now they have no time to consider the connection, because as time goes by, more and more places on the city are full of dangers. It is obvious that the Qin army, whose combat effectiveness has suddenly improved several times, The Korean army guarding the city was very uncomfortable. Without accurate premise, they all suddenly became confused.
"Hold! Hold! Don't retreat!"
Seeing that some Korean troops were timid and inclined to retreat in front of the fierce Qin army, some generals immediately shouted loudly.
However, although it was somewhat effective, some Korean soldiers defending the city began to retreat. The so-called movement involves the whole body. Originally it was only a small part of the retreat, but the Qin army immediately sensitively grasped the key.
Subsequently, in those places where gaps appeared, the Qin army stepped up its offensive, and later surpassed at least hundreds of people and climbed to the top of the city.
"Damn it! Hold on! Anyone who dares to leave his post without authorization will be killed!"
Seeing that there was an imminent collapse, the faces of several generals commanding on top of the city turned pale. He made a prompt decision and used thunderous means to kill more than a dozen Korean soldiers who had evacuated without authorization, and finally stabilized the situation temporarily.
But in this short period of time, the Qin army had already gained a little advantage.
Originally suppressed under the city wall, even though the Qin army's combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the Korean army, the casualties were still huge due to the obstruction of the city wall, and they seemed unable to fight back.
But once you get to the top of the city, the effect will be completely different!
Those Qin troops who risked their lives to climb to the top of the city were all brave and brave men. As soon as they came up, they immediately rushed towards the Korean troops on the surrounding walls frantically. Facing this group of Qin troops, the weakness of the Korean army's weak combat effectiveness was revealed.
Almost every time a Qin army is killed, at least two to three Korean soldiers will fall to the ground! This huge gap in combat effectiveness can be seen from this!
This is due to the small number of Qin troops who boarded the city. If the two armies encountered each other on the plains, the gap would probably be even greater!
Originally, in the face of the Qin army's crazy attack on the city, the Korean army was somewhat stretched. At this moment, because of this small group of Qin troops who had boarded the city, the security line on the entire city wall had a precarious trend.
Once the city wall is lost, the fall of Handan City will be meat on the chopping block, there is no doubt.
Knowing this, the Korean army had no choice at all. Although they wanted to stabilize the situation, they were helpless in the face of the Qin army, whose combat effectiveness had improved a lot compared to the previous few days.
Slowly, although the Han army was still fighting hard, the Qin army on the city wall did not decrease, but on the contrary became more and more numerous. More Qin troops have climbed onto the city wall and began to fight against the Korean troops above.
"It went more smoothly than expected."
In the distance, Zhang Han, who was commanding the entire offensive, had a faint smile on his face after seeing the situation on the city wall. Although it took a long time here, as long as Handan City can be defeated, it will be worth it!
Handan County, where Handan City is located, has a very important geographical location. As long as this place is occupied, it will have a deterrent effect on the rebels in the eyes of the Qin Dynasty in the future. At the same time, because of Handan County's convenient transportation lines, it can also attack in many places north, east, and south, which is of vital significance for the next step in wiping out the rebels.
"However, there are still a lot of casualties."
Looking at the battlefield ahead, Zhang Han frowned slightly. If Handan City hadn't been crucial, and he wanted to give a warning to the group of people who were recently arrogant and wanted to restore the Six Kingdoms, he wouldn't have taken the huge risk and launched an attack. this offensive.
"Father!"
A heroic female general came over. As Zhang Han¡¯s daughter, she had never liked Hongzhuang since she was a child, but she liked ordinary men like this.??Love the military career. As for the tiger father who has no dog daughter, although Zhang Zhi is far less experienced than his father at the moment, he already has a hint of general style.
"Zhi'er, you bring another team up and try to completely break down the city gate within an hour! Our army has been here for too long and we can't delay it any longer!"
"yes!"
Zhang Zhi's eyes flashed with excitement, and then he led about three thousand people to join the siege. Handan City, which was already in danger, immediately worsened. It was only a matter of time before the city was broken. (To be continued)
