Chapter 362: Brutal War

The power of the crossbows was too strong, completely suppressing the rain of arrows on the city wall. After one wave of crossbows was fired, the city wall was already full of crossbows, and the soldiers on the city wall had lost one-third.

Seeing that the crossbows were so effective, the enemy general fired crossbows again.

There were screams on the city wall.

The gate guard shouted loudly.

"Hold on!"

"You must hold on!"

The gate guard immediately organized the soldiers to fire crossbows.

Yiwu City also deployed a lot of powerful crossbows, and the number was not small. Although there were not 10,000, there were nearly 3,000.

Originally, with nearly 3,000 crossbows guarding Yiwu City, no country's army could break through Yiwu City.

But now it is the coalition of six countries, whether it is the number of troops or the number of crossbow carts, it is several times or even dozens of times that of Daqin.

"Fire!"

With the order of the gate guard, the soldiers braved the rain of arrows and fired crossbows.

Both sides fired crossbows at the same time. Since the enemy had more crossbows than the Qin army, the Qin army was suppressed and could not raise its head.

At this time, while the Qin army was suppressed on the city wall, the coalition of the six countries launched a charge again.

The crossbow carts on the Qin army fired rounds of crossbows, continuously shooting at the charging coalition of the six countries.

Some soldiers also shot arrows at the charging coalition of the six countries in the rain of arrows.

Many soldiers were shot by the crossbows of the enemy as soon as they showed their heads, and the whole person was taken away, and screams broke out from time to time on the city wall.

Waves of crossbows shot at the enemy, causing a wave of casualties. The coalition of the six countries stopped charging, and the Qin army on the city wall was relieved.

There were constant screams on the city wall, and the deputy general immediately organized soldiers to carry the wounded down for treatment.

After only a short rest, the coalition forces of the six countries launched an attack again. With the advantage of the large number of giant crossbow carts, they fired a large number of crossbow arrows, suppressing the Qin army and making them unable to raise their heads.

At this time, the coalition forces of the six countries launched a charge again.

In order to stop the enemy from advancing, the Qin army on the tower could only risk their lives and shoot arrows again. ..

A large number of Qin soldiers were shot and fell to the ground and died.

The coalition forces of the six countries were not much better. With densely packed people charging, the Qin army could shoot a few with their eyes closed.

The coalition forces of the six countries had no time to dodge, and were shot in the arms, chests, necks, faces and other vital parts. Some were even tripped by their dead companions and then trampled to death by their companions who rushed up from behind.

The coalition forces of the six countries had a huge advantage this time, and no one retreated, but rushed to the city wall recklessly, and the ground was already covered with corpses.

There was already a river of blood and corpses under the city wall.

After suffering huge casualties, the coalition forces of the six countries finally rushed to the city wall.

Because the walls of Yiwu City were too high, the coalition forces of the six countries had been prepared for a long time. They built a lot of ladders, pushed the ladders from the back, approached the city wall, and then lowered the ladders on the ladders to the city wall.

Soldiers climbed up the ladders from the ladders and climbed over the city wall.

The Qin army on the city wall would naturally not give up. They used methods such as shooting arrows, setting fires, pouring gold juice, and pushing ladders to prevent the enemy from climbing up.

The Qin army defended very tenaciously, and the coalition forces of the six countries were shot to death before they climbed up the city wall.

Dozens of ladders were built in a row, and the enemy climbed up bravely.

The Qin army poured kerosene on the ladders and then set them on fire.

The enemy who was still climbing was immediately set on fire and rolled down from the ladders with screams.

Their death did not stop the tenacious attack of the coalition forces of the six countries. They were still desperately climbing the ladders and climbing up.

Even if there were enemy troops climbing up the city walls occasionally, they would be killed instantly by the Qin army.

After a day of fierce fighting, although the coalition forces of the six countries had been suppressing the Qin army with crossbows, they still could not rush to the top of the wall.

In the next few days, the fierce fighting was still fierce. Both sides invested more and more troops, but the defenders had a natural advantage.

Both sides fought each other and suffered heavy losses.

Of course, the coalition forces of the six countries suffered much more losses than the Qin army.

The news from the border had to be transmitted to the capital several times a day. When the king of Qin heard that the coalition forces of the six countries had attacked several times and could not break through the five cities of Yi, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the king of Qin did not relax, but dispatched troops and recruited a large number of soldiers at the same time.

In the fierce fighting in the past few days, the Qin army suffered heavy losses. The newly recruited soldiers were sent to the front line after only two days of training.

...

In a remote town in Zhao State.

A mysterious man in a cloak appeared on the street, walked for a while, and then walked into a grocery store in a dark corner.

The grocery store sells some ordinary daily necessities, which are placed in a messy manner.

The owner of the grocery store is an old man in his twilight years. When he saw the cloaked man coming in, he greeted him with a smile: "Hey, a customer is here. Customer, take a look, what do you want to buy?"

"Buy a person's life."

The cloaked man said with a serious face.

The old man's face did not change, he laughed and said with a laugh: "Customer, you are joking, we don't sell human lives here."

"No mistake!"

The cloaked man laughed and said: "The branch of Blood Prison is nearby, and this is a place to take orders."

Seeing that the cloaked man mentioned Blood Prison, the old man stopped pretending, looked at the cloaked man with turbid eyes, and then said: "I wonder whose life the customer wants?"

"this person!"

The cloaked man took out a portrait from his arms and unfolded it, revealing a portrait of a stunning beauty.

The old man looked at her twice and said with a smile: "She is quite beautiful. Who is this woman? What kind of strength is she?"

"I can only tell you her name, but I don't know it either. In terms of strength, I can tell you that this woman should be a strong person in the third level of the Grandmaster Realm."

The cloaked man said.

"The strong master!"

The old man's expression changed, he looked at the woman in the portrait again, and exclaimed: "She is already a master at such a young age. It seems that she is jealous of others."

"Guest, you should know that a strong master is not so easy to kill."

The old man said with a solemn expression.

"If you were so easy to kill, would I still come to you?"

The cloaked man asked rhetorically.

The old man fell silent. Just as the cloaked man said, if it was easy to kill, there would be no need to hire the Blood Prison killer. How could they make money in the Blood Prison?

"Guest, where is this woman now?"

the old man asked.

"She is in the capital of Qin Kingdom."

The cloaked man replied.

"In Qin State."

The old man said in surprise.

"What? You don't dare to accept this order?"

the cloaked man asked.

"Guest, wait a moment."

The old man took the portrait and walked into the back room.

After half an hour, the old man walked out and said: "We have accepted this order. However, the price is a bit expensive to kill a strong master in Da Qin."

"How many?"

"Fifty million low-grade spiritual stones."

The man in the cloak fell silent and said, "Your price is not low."

Fifty million low-grade spiritual stones cannot be obtained by any force. Even if they can be obtained, it will break their muscles and bones.
