Chapter 148 I Don’t Know Where to Get Reinforcements

The Qin army's messenger listened to the two men's words and didn't know what to do for a while. He looked at Xiang Zhuang and said,

"General Xiang, I can't go back and report this."

Who can take this as a reason not to send troops?

Xiang Zhuang looked at the Qin army's messenger coldly at this time, and then said,

"If it weren't for my general, my legs are weak now. After a quarter of an hour's rest, I will naturally send troops!"

Hearing this, the Qin army's ordering soldiers were stunned.

He never thought that Xiang Zhuang would say such a thing. You know,

The other party is now the commander-in-chief of the entire Chu army.

To actually show weakness like this, that's an exaggeration.

If the two armies fight, there is no difference between it and surrender.

So he stopped asking any more questions and quickly headed towards the Qin army's camp.

Looking at the backs of the Qin army's messengers leaving, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his eyes.

When he first started, his legs did feel weak.

Because he couldn't imagine that if Da Qin had such weapons, what would Chu State do to fight against it?

Don't forget, until now, the Qin army has not used the special weapons they used in Chu.

And these are only on the surface. Who knows if the Qin army has more powerful weapons?

But no matter what, the Chu State could not be the opponent of the Qin Army.

He also knew that all the battle reports on the front lines would be sent to the hands of His Majesty.

If that's the case, then how long will it take if he doesn't give in now?

What he can do now is to try his best to win as much land as possible for Chu State on this piece of land.

He wants to stay as far away from Da Qin as possible!

At this time, the Qin Army's messengers had returned to the Qin Army's camp.

The general of 1510 told Han Xin all the situation,

After hearing this, Han Xin couldn't help but fell into rare silence.

Although he had already used this battle to shock the minds of other Chinese countries, he never expected that the effect would be so exaggerated.

Of course, if you think about it carefully, it seems natural.

These weapons of the Qin army were astonishing to him when he saw them for the first time.

However, the slow expansion and development in the following ten years was nothing but a matter of course for them.

There was nothing particularly surprising. They had already rehearsed these siege steps countless times.

So looking at his large army around him, no one was too surprised, because for them it was just a practical exercise.

But for those seeing this for the first time, it was almost a devastating blow.

In fact, if you think about it, there are still many people in Da Qin who regard these flying ink lanterns as a tool for communication between Da Qin and heaven.

But even so, this shouldn't be what Xiang Zhuang said.

After thinking for a while, Han Xin seemed to understand something and couldn't help but smile and said,

"This village is better than Xiang Yu."

Of course he wanted it. Xiang Zhuang was clearly showing weakness.

Able to not care about one's own reputation and strive for future opportunities for Chu State,

This is a sign of wisdom!

If I use the name of Da Qin to show kindness now, it may have good results.

But he didn't want to do it because he didn't care.

He just wants to finish this battle well. His Majesty will think about the future matters, and Xiao He and Chen Ping will do it.

All he had to do was fight the good fight.

So he quickly said,

"The Chu army wants to rest for a quarter of an hour, so give them a quarter of an hour."

"Instruct the unscrupulous cannons and crossbow rockets behind to shoot at the city wall immediately. After a quarter of an hour, the artillery fire will be extended until our army captures the city."

This is the Qin Army’s most used and traditional fighting style over the years.

No matter what kind of enemy you encounter, bomb it first.

After it's almost blown up, let the infantry attack in close combat.

If you come down like this, no matter what kind of enemy it is, it will be impossible to resist it.

At the beginning, this was how the entire Western Region settled down.

After all, in the beginning, those local nobles in the Western Regions would not hand over all their rights so easily.

So everyone is already very proficient.

The Qin Army messenger naturally accepted the order and was about to leave. Another Qin Army hurried over and reported,

"General, the Huns invite you to fight!"

"It's said that the gods have sent down punishments on these people, so let these people be punished by them!"

"Only can we relieve the wrath of the gods!"

"This is also their glory!"

Hearing this, Han Xin's expression suddenly turned strange.

I can't help but ask,

"Didn't you tell them that this is my Da Qin's weapon?"

He has always disdained using these methods, and His Majesty doesn't like it either, and these Huns are quite obedient anyway.

Qin Jun showed a wry smile at this time and said,

"My subordinates have already explained it, but the leader of the Huns said that these weapons are the means of the gods."

"After all, it's hard for God to come in person."

"They are also weapons of the gods."

Han Xin was speechless immediately, and the other party's fighting spirit was so high that it could indeed be used.

So he nodded and said,

"After three rounds of bombardment, just extend it back and let the Huns charge forward."

"The current goal is to occupy the city!"

They had just paused for a long time. Based on the ability of the other party's commander, they should have restored some morale. They wanted to defeat the 100,000-strong army in the city in one go.

It's a little difficult,

If we cannot form a rout, we will not be able to seize the opportunity to capture three cities in a row.

This indeed made him feel unhappy, but who would have thought that friendly troops would also be frightened?

There is no room to reason about this.

So now we can only fight slowly and occupy this city first.

Then use the same method to capture the other two cities and completely defeat the Roman defense line, and the goal will be achieved.

Of course it will be within ten days.

This made him somewhat regretful, but the opportunity to fight had passed and there would be no benefit in forcing it.

In any case, after this time, he has obtained the throne.

Then, Han Xin turned his attention to the city wall.

At this time, everyone on the city wall slowly came to their senses. After receiving the order, they all performed their duties and prepared to defend.

They are truly elite and will not be frightened into running away.

Hannibal also received the latest news. After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief and then said to the two legion commanders next to him,

"Two auxiliary corps just wanted to escape from the city gate. Fortunately, they were stopped by another corps."

"The city is still stable now and is slowly recovering."

He actually thought that he would definitely not be able to survive this time.

With the combat power that the other party has shown in the past two days, they, who were completely frightened by the opponent's attack just now, would definitely not be able to resist it.

Fortunately, the other party was under the city and motionless.

Of course, the current losses in the city must be huge, but as long as they are not defeated immediately, they can still be saved.

Just hearing these words, the expressions of the two legion commanders did not improve much.

The somewhat calm legion commander quickly said,

"I will send a message back to Rome right away, telling them to prepare..."

At this point, the legion commander paused, and then said with a bit of resignation,

"Prepare to surrender."

"While we still have a little bit of qualifications to negotiate."

For him, there is no chance of winning this war. It is better to take the initiative to seek peace while the city is still in his hands and still maintain the last dignity.

The slightly irritable legion commander on the side did not refute this time.

The opponent has such weapons, and resistance is futile. Just saying,

"I'm afraid those old guys won't believe it."

"And how many more days can we resist?"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, he would never have believed that there was such a weapon in the world that could attack from the sky.

The somewhat calm legion commander quickly said,

"When the Roman envoys see this weapon, they will believe it."

"As for how many days we can resist, that's up to the commander-in-chief."

Then he looked directly at Hannibal and asked,

"Commander, how long does it take for your people to arrive?"

Hannibal looked complicated at this time and returned,

"Calculating the time, my people should have almost crossed the swamp, and there should be news within two days."

If his people launch an attack at this time, they can indeed restore a certain decline.

But correspondingly, if those Chinese people are angered at this time, I am afraid that none of them will be left.

But no one noticed that after hearing this, several guards around Hannibal had strange expressions on their faces.

The two legion commanders nodded. Fortunately, they still had this back-up man.

Otherwise, I am afraid they will lose all the cities in a short period of time.

None of them can afford such a failure!

The two of them were still about to say something, but suddenly the city wall erupted again, bursts of fire and loud noises!

They immediately knew that the other side was finally going to attack!

No more words to say, all they can do now is resist desperately!

Fortunately, they had experience in dodging crossbow rockets before, so everyone found bunkers after the first round of bombing.

These experiences were gained in exchange for the lives of the elite Roman legion soldiers in the past two days.

Although, this time the power is greater and the losses are more serious,

But the Romans didn't give in so easily!

When those powerful weapons stopped, the two army commanders understood,

Next comes the opponent's siege war.

The two of them didn't flinch at all, they stood up directly, raised their weapons high, and roared,

"Rome! Fight for glory!"

Everyone knows their reputation!

Their achievements are known to everyone!

They are the spark of civilization!

They are glorious Romans!

Upon hearing the call of their commander, all the elite Roman soldiers also shouted with determination,

"Rome! Fight for glory!"

Seeing this scene, even Hannibal couldn't help but feel slightly moved.

When he almost captured Rome, it was these elite Roman legions that blocked his final blow!

Now, these people will use weapons and blood to prove their loyalty to safeguard the glory of Rome!

Seeing that morale had recovered somewhat, the two regiment commanders looked at each other, and finally got up and prepared to go to the front line!

Leading by example is the best encouragement and motivation for soldiers!

But at this moment, a Roman messenger hurried over and shouted in a near collapse,

"General! General! Oh no! The city on the right behind us has been destroyed!! All our supplies have been destroyed!"

“The Roman envoy sent for help!”

Hearing this, the two legion commanders couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said repeatedly,

"How can this be?"

"What did you say?

There's no way those Chinese people can get by! "

The city behind them was used as a reserve force and assistance, which is why, even if they suffered such a blow,

As long as the supplies can survive, they are confident that they can sustain it for a period of time.

Moreover, the rear was well protected, and even if the Chinese had cavalry, they would not be able to capture the city.

After all, the journey is relatively long, and carrying heavy equipment deep into their rear would be too much to underestimate them.

So even if these Chinese people have cavalry to block their retreat,

Everyone is also fighting head-on.

But why was he suddenly attacked?

At this time, the messenger pointed directly at Hannibal not far away and shouted,

"General, those who attacked us were not Chinese! It was those Carthaginians!"

"They raided us!"

Hearing this, everyone around was stunned, and then looked at Hannibal, who was also stunned.

Seeing everyone looking over, Hannibal was about to say something.

The guards around him seemed to be well prepared at this time. They took out their weapons and shouted,

"Protect the commander and leave!"

Then the two men held up Hannibal and retreated. Hannibal struggled angrily and asked,

"What are you doing!"

He did not betray Rome!

The two guards said directly,

"Commander! Tennant has already negotiated with the Chinese!"

Hannibal stopped struggling instantly. He understood everything.

At this time, others formed a solid defensive formation, ready to delay!

Someone else ran to the city wall, waving a white cloth towel in one hand, and shouted in extremely unskilled Daqin dialect,

"Attack attack!"

This scene made everyone silent again.

At this time, under the city wall, the Huns who were originally preparing to attack also hesitated.

Everyone can see what happened on the city wall.

Of course, this pause only lasted for a moment. The two legion commanders on the city wall shouted with red eyes,

"Catch them!"

They never expected that what they thought was a backhand would turn into an attack from behind!

The Roman elite, whose morale was high just now, suddenly felt a trace of confusion in their eyes.

They don't know what's going on,

All I know is, why are you arresting your commander-in-chief?

But we still have to listen to the legion commander's orders, so we can only kill him.

The Huns came back to their senses and attacked directly towards the city wall.

For a time, there was chaos on and under the city wall. The Chu army, who originally wanted to rest, also looked at his general.

Xiang Zhuang was still sighing just now about the power of the Qin army's weapons.

Seeing this scene, he fell silent again. After a while, he said to his lieutenant,

"You take the people up, I'll take it easy."

Today's events made him feel a little confused.

Soon, the lieutenants led the recovered Chu soldiers and rushed directly towards the city wall!

At this time, Han Xin naturally saw this scene, and when he was a little confused,

A Qin army messenger came quickly and shouted,

"General! His Highness Ying Li and the reinforcements coming from nowhere are attacking from both sides! They have already captured the city on the right!"

Han Xin's eyes suddenly lit up. He knew the fighter plane was back and laughed loudly,

"Okay, okay!"

"Send the order, the whole army will attack, today the Japanese general will capture three cities!"
