Chapter 43 City Gate 2

Three hundred steps outside the north west gate, a thin military formation was gradually taking shape on the outside of the common people under the city. The villagers were not unemployed in war, they were just scared. Once they were holding wooden pestles in their hands, they stood up, and they were trembling and begging for mercy. The military formation was formed, and other honorary soldiers in the fleeing crowd kept kicking out, and even some women were shouting "Men go to fight". It was they who kept pushing men out of the crowd.

However, no one cares about the lives and death of the common people under the city. In the eyes of the county soldiers, these people must have been mixed with Qin and Wei spies. In the thinking of the county duke Chen Jian and the county Sima Chen, there were already 50,000 people in the city and there was not enough food and fodder. If one or two thousand villagers were sent to the city, the corn would have to be eaten up in two months. The waterway has not been cut off, but what if it is cut off? No one dared to guarantee the matter in the war. Last year, Xixian County Duke Chengjie said that Chengyang was incessantly waterways, what was the result?

"It's a Rong person." Yang Wei, the sanitation general, saw the Qin cavalry in the Lu Li mirror. Although they were wearing Qin army armor, they were all haired, with left-sided sleeves under the armor, and long boots that were not available in the countries. This was undoubtedly the Rong people.

"I'm afraid they are from Yiqu." The army leader next to him also had Lu Lijing, and the cavalry was still two miles away. Amid the continuous drums at the top of the city, the officers operating the Jing crossbow were shouting commands, and the cannons of the catapults under the city loudly replied to the "reloaded" - if the Qin cavalry was more than three hundred steps away, they would have to try the power of the cannon.

"Go--!" The city was all in front of him, and the thin military and political affairs were less than fifty steps. At this moment, the two horses in the car were rolled up and they could not get up. Zheng Rong was furious and thrust quickly, but no matter how he pulled, the horse would not move. He had to turn around and help his father get out of the car, and run forward with his sister Zheng Shi.

"Yeho..." Yiqu people shouted louder and louder on the horse's back. They were very close. Zheng Rong only felt the sound of horse hooves behind his head, and he pulled his father to run wildly. Zheng Chang was old and could withstand such violent running. After more than ten steps, he fell to the ground.

"Father!" Zheng Rong had to stop and ran back to carry his father. Zheng Shi also stopped and ran back to help.

"Go away quickly. You can go away quickly." Zheng Chang, who was covered in dust, reminded his son, but he still carried it on his back.

The sound of hooves became louder and louder, and the earth began to tremble. With a "ah" blow, Zheng Shi, who was running suddenly pounced on the ground, and a feather arrow was inserted in his heart. Zheng Rong, who was running in front, trembled in his heart, and tears suddenly flowed down, but he did not dare to stop and rushed straight to the rear of the military formation. What he didn't see was that a young soldier rushed towards Zheng Shi who was falling to the ground against the Qin cavalry.

"Stand! Stand--!" The Qin cavalry running towards him were like a sandstorm sweeping across everything. Before the horse reached its might, it made people dare not face it. The taro bar stood in the front row of the military formation with several other honorary soldiers. They were used to standing in the front row of the military formation, far apart from each other. Without drawing their swords, everyone held a long pestle and silently chanted something in their mouths. Only the taro bars standing at the gap of the ox cart chariot yelled loudly, instructing the soldiers behind them to stand.

"Yeho--!" The cavalry shouted one after another. Instead of rushing straight to the military formation covered by the sparse chariot formation, they shot arrows thirty steps away. Seeing the rain of arrows coming, Yu Gangzi raised the wooden box cover and reminded his comrades: "Arrow!"

Some of the infantrymen in the front row held the villagers and threw them into the dustpan, while others held the lids of the cages. Even if they raised the "shield", some people were still caught in arrows and fell to the ground. The taro gang was one of them, and an arrow shot on his forehead. But no one noticed his fall until he could not hear the reassuring voice.

‘Rumbling…’ Qin cavalry flew past the missing car array, and the military formation was instantly swallowed by dust. In the north middle gate without the protection of the military formation, the cavalry rushed into the crowd and slashed wildly. The fearful villagers rushed forward and the people beside the city guards were pushed into the water one after another. The sharp bamboo and wood pierced the fallen people until the bodies were pricked with bamboo poles. This was actually the intention of the cavalry, to drive these people into the water to fill the city guards.

"It's ready. Let it go-away!" The catapult in the city adjusted the direction again, aiming the landing point at the direction of the north central city gate. With the order of firing, a 'knock' sound, the boom bounced up with a 'shoulder' and a 'shoulder' bounce.

"Let it go!" The crossbow on the top of the city was also shooting. The arrows were hard to see until the cavalry under the city were shot. The remaining arrows nailed them and their men and horses to the ground. When the four hundred Chujin stone bullets fell, as long as the cavalry and their men and horses were hit, they turned into meat sauce. What's even more terrifying is that the stone bullets would jump and stone chips would splash, and those who touched it were either dead or injured.

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the arrows and stone bombs were, they could not deal with the cavalry that had already rushed into the crowd. Some cavalry even jumped off their horses, swung their swords and began to drive people into the water. The villagers who were unknown to be dead in front of them rushed forward desperately, and they kept trampling in the front again, just waiting to fall into the city protection and be stabbed to death by bamboo and wood. The pool water soon turned red, and the county soldiers on the city couldn't bear to look at it.

"Where is the taro gang? Where is the taro gang?" The cavalry flew past, and the young man Yu Shi who had just gone to save the person, miraculously ran back with Zheng Shi on his back.

"Return to the formation! Return to the formation!" As soon as the Yu Gang died, Chen Qi had become the highest officer of the military formation. This former servant seemed to have changed, standing in front of the military formation without fear of life and death. He saw that the enemy cavalry that had passed by his formation was about to rush forward again.

"Stand up! Stand up!" He imitated the tone of the Tao Gangzi and comforted the military formation about 150 rows wide and less than ten rows thick.

‘Rumbling…’ The dust makes people unable to open their eyes. If they really open their eyes, the sand will fly into the eyes and make their eyes wet. With tears in their eyes, Chen Qi watched the enemy cavalry get closer and closer, they raise their bows, shoot arrows, and then swing their swords to rush straight through the gap in the chariot array. Standing in the front row, holding a long pestle, he bears the brunt.

‘Bang-!’ He felt his body lightening as if he was flying in the air, and this feeling was unprecedented, but after that he knew nothing.

"Kill! Kill--!" The young man Yu Shi was shouting wildly. After throwing away the broken long pestle, he rushed towards the cavalry that stopped castration. The huge blade that was chopped out in the shouting did not cut off the knight's iron sword, but the downward slashing force injured the war horse. The war horse neighed and kicked and hit his own people. It was terrible to run when the cavalry ran, but once it was trapped in the military formation, there was nothing scary. As Yu Shi shouted wildly, the infantry no longer cared about the array, and slapped the cavalry rushing into the formation and stabbed the wooden pestle with a fierce slam.

This was a chaotic battle, but because of the ox carts in front of the formation, the subsequent cavalry could only skip and prepare for the next round of charge. Fortunately, the Jing crossbow at the top of the city finally shot. Half of the villagers in the Beizhongmen were rushed to the city protection by the enemy cavalry and stabbed to death and drowned. They would never let this tragedy happen again at the Beiximen. The Jing crossbow began to shoot rapidly, and one long arrow after another flew towards the cavalry preparing for the next round of attack.

"Stand stand, stand..." During the melee, someone stepped on Chen Qie who was knocked out by the cavalry. He murmured a few words, and as soon as he woke up, he quickly got up. When he got up, he saw the enemy cavalry circling around and gathering a hundred steps away, pointing to the front and shouting: "Array!Array--!"

"Array! Array!" Several Yushi, who had red eyes, saw the cavalry that was about to rush in the direction he pointed, and hurriedly arranged the array again. Many people broke their pestles, and the "shield" in their hands disappeared. This time, they could only rely on their bodies to stop the cavalry.

"Yuho--" the cavalry shouted, they didn't want to give the enemy too much time to breathe. When the military formation outside the North West Gate was still in chaos, they rode forward. The crossbow arrows kept flying in, shooting their companions to death. The stone bombs thrown by the catapults "bang" fell, and then bounced up, taking away one rider after another, but they still charged. They knew that as long as they rushed through the thin enemy formation, they could drive the black crowds of people beside the city protection pond into the water.

"Go!" The last thirty steps reached the fastest speed. In front of them were the military formations, but each infantryman had a look of horror on his face, except for the military leader who was commanding the array with a strange smile on his face.

After the arrow, the galloping cavalry jumped over the trajectory array, "Boom--!" The half-ton war horse hit the infantry in the forefront. Amid their screams, the war horses stepped on the bodies of others and continued to rush forward. Just as the knights thought they had broken through the thin military array, the cage boxes behind the military array were covered with dustpans, and the war horses suddenly stood up. This was only a few, and more cavalry rushed in, and then neighed and the people fell to the ground. The cage box dustpan, which seemed to be iron dysentery, either broke the legs of the war horse or cracked the horse's hooves.

Pause means death. When the cavalry stopped, Chen Qi, who was bleeding from the thighs, rushed up from the rear with his undead infantry. There were only two or three hundred cavalrymen rushing in, but nearly a thousand infantrymen were still alive. They were already crazy and rushed to the front of the horse without fear of death, either fighting or dragging them, and some even wanted to pull the cavalry off the horse.

"Woo————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The infantry who could not catch up with him was unwilling to accept it. At this time, someone shouted, "Win Wang! The Win Wang has left the city!"

It's not Wang Zu, it's the sanitation. More than 3,000 sanitation and Gong Jia left the city from the northeast gate. They are the real new army. The 4-meter-long giant iron spear was raised on his hands, and a small shield was hung on his left arm, but this was not a thing that attracted people's attention. What really makes people unable to understand is the military formation they listed.

——The military formation was completely broken. The 15x15 Jutiyi Spear Formation did not lean together at all, but had about ten steps to clear the gap. Keeping the line intact is the golden rule of the era of horizontal brigades, and no one dared to let the military formation break, because this would cause the enemy to attack themselves from the side and back. Once the side back was attacked, the military formation would collapse or collapse.

"What kind of formation is this?" General Left, Wang Jian, followed the cavalry to attack Chencheng. The war was cruel. If the city was not filled with the bodies of the Chu people, it would have to be filled with the bodies of the Qin soldiers, so he suggested expelling the Chu people into the pond. This task was only half completed - countless Chu people were rushed down at Beizhong Gate, but because of the thin military formation in Beixi Gate, the Yiqu cavalry rushed out twice without breaking. At this time, the Chu army left the city and set up an incredible military formation.

"It's King Jing's spear formation." Cavalry general Xin Sheng was also there. Last year he heard that King Jing had a spear formation.

"Can you rush?" Wang Jian was not a cavalry general and had no right to order the cavalry to attack the enemy formation.
