Chapter 48: There are social customs in the military too!

Time lasts!

More than two hours passed.

The battle situation was completely tense, showing a kind of tug-of-war.

Many elite soldiers of the Qin army fought on the city tower, but were resisted by the fierce defense of the Korean army, and were eventually killed by the Korean army in the city.

The rain of arrows fired from both sides continued.

Inside the city.

outside the city.

Everything was dyed red with blood, and corpses lay everywhere, forming a blood-red pool outside the city.

And there were countless corpses of sharp soldiers at the city gate.

Dozens of warriors pushed the battering ram, and they hit it violently countless times.

But the gates remained strong.

"Strong liquor."

"Fire oil."

"kill!"

On the tower.

Watered with strong wine, kindled with fire.

Countless Qin Ruishi were burned directly into burning men.

There seems to be no solution to this miserable situation.

"rush."

"Destroy the city with all your strength."

"Kill with me."

Wu Hua roared loudly and led his warriors to advance towards the city gate.

But even with him as a general leading the army, the result could not be changed.

The Korean army is heavily defended.

The city gate has not yet been breached, and there is nothing he can do.

This time!

A round of random arrows struck.

Wu Hua was directly pierced by random arrows and fell into a pool of blood.

But the Qin army under the city was still attacking one after another.

Before the general's order is given, those who retreat will be directly killed by the war supervising army.

The Qin army formed a rear formation.

It seems that the vanguard army cannot break the city.

Li Teng frowned.

The siege was so well-prepared, but it took nearly half a day before it was breached.

"Report."

"Report to General Li."

"The Pioneer Battalion suffered heavy casualties, and General Wu Hua died in battle."

"The morale of the vanguard battalion has collapsed."

"May I ask the general if you want to withdraw the vanguard battalion?"

As a messenger came to report, Li Teng's brows furrowed even more.

"It seems that I have underestimated Zhang Ping and the Korean army in the city." Li Teng said solemnly.

Then.

"War attack."

"It should be done in one go."

"Once you retreat."

"It will definitely affect the entire army, and it will also give the Korean army a chance to breathe."

"The morale of the vanguard battalion has been lost, so let's replace it with another vanguard battalion."

"Send the general's order."

"Order the vanguard battalion to retreat."

"Let Chen Tao lead the attack with ten thousand generals under his command."

"After Chen Tao, all the generals' camps will come up one after another."

"This general vows to defeat Handu in one battle."

Li Teng shouted loudly.

He has also served as a general in the army for many years, so he naturally understands the impact of military morale.

If the troops are withdrawn directly this time, it will definitely have an impact on military morale.

"Subordinates take orders."

The guards around him responded immediately.

It didn't take long.

Woo! ! !

The sound of the horn resounded throughout the void.

This was the clarion call for the withdrawal of the Pioneer Battalion.

Followed.

The vanguard battalion under Handu City began to retreat in an orderly manner.

"Korean soldiers."

"Victory."

"The Qin army retreated."

"We can definitely defend the capital and protect the country."

Looking at the retreating Qin army, Han general Cao Yi shouted excitedly, looking like he was victorious.

The Han soldiers on the tower also looked happy.

"General."

"Something's wrong."

"This Qin army retreated, another Qin army moved, and the Qin army's archers did not retreat." A Han general pointed to the front of the city and shouted.

Cao Yi's expression changed.

This time.

Chen Tao clenched his sword and stood in front of the formation.

"Zhao Feng, where is Liu Wu?"

Chen Tao shouted loudly.

"My subordinate is here."

Zhao Feng and another captain in General Tongwan's camp replied immediately.

"General Li has ordered that the vanguard troops withdraw and I, General Wan, attack with the battalion."

"Whoever can conquer the capital of Han will be the first to do so, and whoever can capture the King of Han will have an unparalleled achievement."

"The city is not broken, and our army is still favored by the vanguard. Put down your crossbows, raise your shields, and let me kill you!"

"Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

"This general will personally supervise the battle!"

"Zhao Feng, Liu Wu, which one of you dares to be the vanguard?" Chen Tao shouted and looked at the two captains under his command.

The military system is different.

The methods of siege are also different.

"My subordinates are willing." Zhao Feng and Liu Wu replied at the same time.

"Zhao Feng, you have just entered the main battle camp, and your experience in leading troops needs to be improved."

"This battle."

"Liu Wu, you are the vanguard to attack."

"Zhao Feng, if Liu Wu's army fails, you will immediately take over the attack." After a glance, Chen Tao said something to suppress Zhao Feng, and finally settled on Liu Wu.

Liu Wu said with ecstasy: "I accept the order."

Then he looked at Zhao Feng and said with a smile: "Captain Zhao, I won't let you do this. As soon as the city gate is broken, you can follow immediately."

It seemed that he was determined to win this battle.

Zhao Feng just glanced at it calmly, and he could tell at a glance how proud Liu Wu was.

"Although the elite soldiers of the Qin army are a whole, they are also related."

"It seems that my promotion too quickly made some people jealous." Zhao Feng sneered in his heart.

Zhao Feng had been in the main battle camp for less than half a month. Apart from being familiar with the military commanders under his command, he didn't know much about others. As for Liu Wu, he only had a few acquaintances with him.

It can be seen from the fact that Li Teng decided to be the vanguard that he gave priority to his trusted generals, and then it was Chen Tao's turn. Chen Tao chose Liu Wu, and there is no doubt that he was on good terms with Liu Wu.

The Qin military merit system is there, everyone wants to compete for merit, everyone wants to be promoted, but who is the vanguard depends on the relationship with the superior.

Otherwise.

There have not been so many merit competitions since ancient times.

From ancient times to the present, what matters is human relationships!

This is the first time that Zhao Feng has seen the human relationships in the army.

However.

He doesn't care.

"Brothers."

"Did you hear that?"

"The general said."

"Until the city is broken, you will still be the vanguard."

"Follow me to kill, break through the Han capital, and the first merit will go to my captain camp."

Liu Wu shouted, with a confidence that he could break the Han capital, leading his 5,000 sharp soldiers to fight first.

"Too proud."

Looking at Liu Wu's performance, Zhao Feng smiled faintly in his heart.

The city gates were sealed, and the city was guarded by the Han army.

Zhao Feng wanted to see how Liu Wu would break the city.

"Liu Duwei's men will be the vanguard, and I will be the substitute for Duwei's camp."

"You all be careful."

"The Han army is raining arrows continuously, try to disperse."

Zhao Feng turned his head and gave instructions to Zhang Han and other military marquises, especially looking at Wei Quan.

"Yes."

Zhang Han, Wei Quan and the other five military marquises replied immediately.

When Liu Wu led his army to rush out, he also opened up a distance with Zhao Feng's army.

"Kill!"

Zhao Feng didn't waste words, with caution in his eyes, he also raised his sword and killed. The sharp soldiers behind him followed under the command of the military marquises.

It's just that the speed was not so fast.

The city gate was not broken, if you rush too fast, you will face the enemy's arrow rain, and you will be a lamb to be slaughtered.

Your eyes turned.

Looking at the retreating Qin army, a new one swept in.

Cao Yi immediately shouted: "Once the city is broken, the Qin army will never let us go."

"Archers aim at the Qin army under the city! Catapults aim at the Qin army archers, kill!"

Facing life and death, the Han army also defended with all their strength.

Liu Wu held a shield and led the Wanjiang Camp to advance. Facing the rain of arrows, sharp soldiers were shot and killed from time to time.

But soon.

Liu Wu led his men to the city.

New forces joined.

The chariots and ladders approached again.
