Chapter 969: Pigs Will Not Surrender Collectively
Although they have been equipped with these weapons for a long time, they have not used them so intensively.
The effect produced by this was also far beyond their expectations.
Looking at the city wall caught in a sea of fire, Li Shang would inevitably have the idea of taking down the opponent.
Zhou Bo on the side had come to his senses at this time. Looking at the situation on the city wall, he shook his head.
"If we have 20,000 people here, it's really possible that we can attack them all at once."
"But now it's impossible."
He also underestimated the gradual effect of this oil combination. Now that the opponent is in a panic, it is not impossible to break into the city as long as there are enough manpower.
But in fact, the city walls looked extremely tragic, but the actual casualties were not many, maybe only a few hundred people.
After all, the city wall only has so much space.
If these people attack now, once the other party reacts, they will suffer huge losses.
Don't forget them, all the oil now is bought from the other side.
Now I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has sent people to search for him in the territory of Daqin, but I'm afraid it won't be that easy for a while.
And as long as they win the Western Region, then the other party's oil will naturally belong to Great Qin.
Listening to Zhou Bo's words, Li Shang could only nod his head with some disappointment, and then asked,
"What should we do now? Should we send troops to attack?"
Zhou Bo still shook his head and returned,
"Don't worry, let's shoot with the crossbow for a while."
Although he was ready to sacrifice some herdsmen, before doing so, he had to use these supplies to consume the opponent's strength and undermine the opponent's morale.
This is what His Royal Highness the Prince emphasized to them. Sacrifice is okay, but the sacrifice must be valuable.
Anyone who dares to ignore the lives of ordinary soldiers will also be punished.
Now Datou's group of original dead troops are not easy to mess with.
Anyway, what he wants now is to delay time slowly and not in a hurry.
Moreover, the effect of the crossbow far exceeded his expectations. He could use this tool to consume the opponent for a while.
At this time, there was already an extremely tragic scene on the city wall.
The soldiers from the Western Region fell down wailing in the flames. Until this section of the city wall, everyone was dead and no one could save them.
Zhang Liang stood in the distance with some despair. If he had not escaped in time, he would have been like these soldiers.
Even Fan Kuai's face turned a little pale.
He was actually not afraid of death or fighting, but he couldn't accept this way of death.
The Qin army just fired some crossbow arrows and wiped out so many people.
"How can this oil be so powerful!"
They also prepared oil for defense. They also tried it in private, but they never caused such great damage.
He didn't understand why these things became so powerful in the hands of the Qin army.
Zhang Liang shook his head with a stiff expression. He didn't understand these mechanisms.
Just looking at those crossbow arrows, I couldn't help but ask,
"Do we have such a crossbow?"
Although he didn't understand it, it didn't stop him from imitating and learning from the Qin army.
Fan Kuai shook his head and returned,
"How can such a crossbow be made here?"
The technical content of crossbows is still very high.
Zhang Liang could only grit his teeth and said with a bit of severity,
"Let our people also prepare oil. If these people dare to come up, I will burn them to death!"
The previous oil was not placed directly on the city wall for preservation and to prevent accidents.
Fortunately, this was the case, and there were no more serious consequences just now.
But Zhang Liang was extremely depressed when he was beaten like this by using a weapon he had sold!
He just wants the other party to rush over, and he also uses this weapon to teach the other party a lesson, so that he can relieve the hatred in his heart!
But it seemed that the Qin army on the opposite side also guessed his intention. After firing the crossbow, he slowly retreated to the camp.
Zhang Liang wanted to chase but didn't dare. Knowing that the opponent had such a weapon, even if he sent all his men,
I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat the opponent either.
It's not that 50,000 people can't defeat 5,000 people.
But because of morale.
Now they can only be beaten passively, which makes everyone's morale extremely low.
Although morale is an invisible and intangible thing, it is extremely important.
Sometimes a party with high morale can hunt down tens of thousands of people with hundreds of people, or even capture hundreds of people with one person. This is not an exaggeration.
Once morale collapses, these tens of thousands of people are worse than tens of thousands of pigs.
After all, pigs will not surrender en masse.
The next day, the Qin army was still the same. They stepped forward and fired a burst of crossbow arrows, but this time they changed the wall.
After killing hundreds of people, they slowly retreated again.
All the soldiers on the city wall were tortured.
On the third day, when the Qin army approached from the other side again, the soldiers responsible for guarding the city wall on this side all fled to the side.
No one wants to die like this.
Because it made no sense at all, they couldn't even touch a hair of the Qin army.
At this time, Zhang Liang's eyes were already red, and the feeling of being tortured was too uncomfortable.
And if there were another few rounds like this, he doubted whether these slave armies could hold out.
Taking a deep breath, he decided to take everyone out to attack the camp tonight!
At that time, a supervisory team will be arranged behind these slave armies, and anyone who dares to retreat will be killed directly.
Only in such a night battle can the gap between the two sides be narrowed.
Having made a decision in his heart, Zhang Liang quickly stepped aside.
He didn't want to get burned by the oil.
But this time, after waiting for a long time, the Qin army's crossbow arrows did not arrive as expected.
Maybe the other party also discovered that there was no one on the city wall.
A slave soldier bravely approached the city wall and looked outside.
After just one glance, he showed a look of horror, then turned around and shouted in panic,
"Qin Army! Qin Army is coming up..."
But before he finished speaking, a Qin soldier climbed up from outside the city wall and cut his neck cleanly.
Immediately afterwards, the Qin troops climbed to the top of the city one by one with the help of the city climbing ladder!
Then he killed all around!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liang shouted sharply,
"Get on top! Get on top of everyone!"
He has no other thoughts in his mind and just wants to keep this place!
Otherwise, once the Qin army breaks through, the entire Western Region will no longer have anything to rely on.
His backhand is useless.
Fan Kuai on the side didn't hesitate at all, he led his own soldiers and roared to kill him.
Soon, there were shouts of killing from the city walls.
At this time, Zhou Bo at the bottom of the city also looked at the thousand-man team with a cold expression, who took advantage of this gap to attack the city.
He promised the other party that as long as these people could open the city gate, he would attack with his entire army!
After these two days, morale has been shattered.
Five thousand against fifty thousand, street fighting is not impossible!
