Chapter 612 Thanks to Qin Jun Lao Tie for sending the flying stones! King Chu's head was buzzing!
It is different from the Linggu commanding the shield soldiers and Zhao'an troops to fill in the trenches.
Thunder-like war drums resounded through Helu City again after a year!
Boulders weighing more than a hundred kilograms flew in the sky, blocking the late summer sun and bringing winter-like air-conditioning to Helu City in advance!
Thirty thousand Qin and Qi coalition troops trampled the ground and charged towards the gates of Helu City!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Standing on the gate tower of the northwest city, King Qi of Chu listened to the familiar sound of the war drums. His heartbeat was uncontrollably pulled by the war drums, and he followed the rhythm of the war drums violently. beat.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Xiong Gan suddenly pushed King Chu Qi hard.
The completely defenseless King Qi of Chu was pushed five or six steps away!
Before Chu Wangqi could stand upright, a huge stone suddenly appeared where Chu Wangqi was standing, and came into close contact with the city wall.
“Bang!”
With a muffled sound, the boulder smashed a dent into the city wall, and then shattered into a large number of sharp stones that shot out in all directions.
"Dang Dang Dang~~"
Looking at the shield soldiers who were walking quickly in front of him, and listening to the sound of the collision between the gravel and the shield, King Chu Qi turned around. God comes.
If Xiong dared not push in time just now, I am afraid that King Chu Qi would have turned into a puddle of minced meat!
Sweat gushed out from his pores as if a floodgate had been opened. King Chu Qi looked at Xiong Gan gratefully: "Xiong Aiqing has done a great job in rescuing us!"
"I will definitely be rewarded heavily!"
Xiong Gan didn’t care about the reward. He just ran quickly back to Chu King Qi and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Qin and Qi coalition forces have officially begun to attack the city."
"The one created by Chang'an Lord Your Majesty also knows how ferocious the catapult is.”
"It is not suitable to stay here for a long time!"
Zhao Cen, who saw King Qi of Chu in distress, also ran over quickly and repeatedly persuaded: "The Qin-Qi coalition has launched a strong attack!"
"I ask your Majesty to Go back to the palace for a while!"
Chu Wangqi shook his head with a smile and said loudly: "The soldiers are fighting to the death, how can I retreat?"
"The soldiers are not able to retreat? Even though I am afraid of death, I am not afraid of death!”
"I will watch my officers and soldiers of Da Chu bravely kill the enemy, and I will see the heroic posture of each soldier in my eyes!"
"I will be with my soldiers!"
As the guards spread the words of King Qi of Chu to the surroundings, the morale of the Chu army, which had been alienated by Ying Chenglong to a state of disarray, began to recover.
If King Qi of Chu is willing to fight to the death with them and bear the risk of death in battle.
Then those soldiers who prevented King Chu from returning to Qin to become prime ministers would not be so clowns.
Fifty thousand Chu troops shouted in unison: "General, I am willing to fight to the death for the king!"
Only Xiong dared to wait for the eunuchs, eunuchs and ring guards to have bitter lips.
This move by King Qi of Chu really boosted the morale of the soldiers of the Chu army.
But those of them who are personal guards will suffer the same consequences!
King Qi of Chu raised his voice, pointed at the piece of gravel and shouted: "Is the Qin army's flying rocks scary?"
"For any other city, it is an irresistible terror!"
"Heavy stones will easily destroy the city wall, causing the Qin army to march straight in."
"The Qin army flew in. Stone is also the weapon that enabled Lord Qin Chang'an to achieve his current reputation."
"However, our city, Helu, is the strongest city in the world!"
"Even the Qin army can't fly stones. It won’t hurt me at all.”
"The Qin army's move is just sending rolling stones to our army!"
The nearby soldiers stood on tiptoes and looked in the direction of King Chu's finger.
I saw that the flying stone had indeed made a dent in the city wall, but it had not made any cracks.
The huge stone that could easily destroy the walls of other cities fell on the wall of Helu City. Instead of causing any damage to Helu City, it actually made the wall of Helu City a little tighter. !
And those scattered stones can be picked up by the Chu army and thrown towards the Qin army outside the city.
Many Chu soldiers smiled and shouted:
"Thank the Qin army for sending the rolling stones!"
Seeing that the morale of the Chu army had risen a little, King Qi of Chu shouted almost without breaking his voice: "Soldiers!"
"I believe in this strong city built by my people of Chu!"
"I believe in the warriors of Great Chu who are loyal to me!"< br>
"This battle will be won!"
This time, all the soldiers of the Chu army shouted with strong voices:
"Chu will win for sure!"
King Chu Qi breathed heavily, with a deep smile in his eyes.
In the past, many people questioned King Qi of Chu's decision to continuously build Helv City.
But today, those huge rocks that fell on Helu City were like slaps to all those who had criticized King Qi of Chu.
His decision by King Qi of Chu was the right one!
Just as he was about to say a few more words of encouragement to the whole army, a camp commander suddenly ran up the city wall and bowed his hands with a hesitant look on his face: "Listen to the commander of the district, Peng Qing, to pay homage to the king and to the commander-in-chief."
“My troops heard strange noises underground, which seemed to be the sound of acupoint attacks.”
King Qi of Chu’s eyes narrowed: “Really?”
Peng Qing said bitterly: "The general can't be sure, so I have to report it and ask Yin He to make a decision."
Zhaocen frowned and angrily said: "You, as people who listen to the ground, don't even know whether there is anything underground. You can’t even confirm the abnormal sound?”
“Isn’t this a dereliction of duty?”
Zhao Cen said something serious.
Being in the military, the punishment for dereliction of duty is to be beheaded!
Peng Qing said repeatedly: "It's not that the general will not die, but the battlefield is too chaotic and the general can't hear clearly!"
Raising his hand to stop Zhaocen who was about to continue scolding, King Chu Qihao Without hesitation, he said: "Come with me to have a look!"
Peng Qing hurriedly trotted ahead and led King Chu Qi and a group of soldiers down the city wall.
Walking to the inner edge of the city wall, large urns buried in the ground appeared in front of everyone. Beside those large urns, there were many soldiers squatting on the ground, covering their ears with their hands in pain.
King Qi of Chu had no time to think about why these soldiers behaved like this, but he personally put his head into the urn.
Seeing this, Peng Qing hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, no!"
"This urn..."
However, before Peng Qing could finish speaking, the King of Chu Qi Liu waved his hand outside the urn and shouted in a deep voice: "Silence!"
The king's order had been issued, and Peng Qing did not dare to open his mouth again.
Under Peng Qing's anxious and worried gaze, King Qi of Chu listened intently.
“Dong~dong~bang~rumbling~”
The subtle sound from the ground was amplified by the urn, and then penetrated into the ears of King Qi of Chu.
Chu Wangqi frowned unconsciously and judged carefully: "This is the sound of footsteps advancing in formation."
"This is the sound of horse hooves."
"This is the sound of wheels."
"This is..."
"Bang!!!"
A blast suddenly sounded from the urn, and the strong sound waves made The body of the urn was visibly trembling!
Chu Wang Qi suddenly pulled out his head and stepped back with pain on his face: "Ah!!!"
"My ears!"
Zhaocen, Xiong Gan and others hurried forward and shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty!"
"Is your Majesty okay?!"
"Healer! Come quickly, doctor!"
"Take this general down!"
"Peng Qing, if the king is ill, I will take the lives of three of your clans!"
Unfortunately, King Qi of Chu could no longer hear any external sounds at all.
Only the buzzing of his own brain can be heard!
Peng Qing said with a face full of panic: "The general has just tried to dissuade the king! The general has tried to persuade me!"
"Although the Qin army's flying stones could not damage our city wall, they made this sound The earthen urn is difficult to use.”
"Because of this, our troops can't tell whether the enemy has used acupuncture techniques!"
Peng Qing tried his best to defend himself, but he was still pushed to the ground by several generals.
Feeling the coldness of the sword blade next to his neck, Peng Qing was heartbroken and could only turn his pleading eyes to King Qi of Chu.
Fortunately, after King Chu calmed down for half a quarter of an hour, he finally recovered some of his hearing.
"Stop calling, I can hear you." Panting heavily for the rest of his life, King Chu Qi waved his hand to stop Xiong Gan, who kept shouting at the top of his lungs.
Xiong Gan cried with joy: "It's good that your king is fine, that's fine!"
Chu Wangqi pressed Xiong Gan's arm and stood up straight, and said with emotion: "Let go of Chief Peng."
>"It will be difficult for our army to listen to the people in the land."
Several generals let go of Peng Qing, and Peng Qing hurriedly bowed his head: "Thank you, your Majesty, for your forgiveness!"
Chu Wang Qi forced a smile and helped Peng Qing up: "No need to be polite."
"I personally used this listening urn once, and then I realized what kind of pressure you are under."
"However, for the sake of Da Chu, I still need Chief Peng to continue to monitor the underground situation for me. "
"After this battle, I will definitely reward all those who listen to the land!"
Peng Qing's mood suddenly jumped from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain, and he handed over his hands in surprise: "Finally! The general will thank the king on behalf of all the listeners!"
King Qi of Chu turned around and asked: "Peng Tun Changyan just seemed to hear the sound of the acupoint attack?"
Peng Qing hurriedly explained seriously: "The last general's troops heard a sound that was quite similar to the sound of a cave attack."
"However, the Qin and Qi coalition forces outside the city have been digging outside the city since a month ago. The sound of filling trenches and digging is very similar to the sound of digging holes, and it is difficult to distinguish. "
"The Qin army outside the city ordered tens of thousands of people to attack the city, and even threw flying stones, which made them defeated. It is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish the generals and their subordinates. "
"So the final general cannot be determined, and the king still needs to make a decision!"
After thinking for a moment, King Qi of Chu said in a deep voice: "Qin Chang'an. If you are good at using clever strategies, it is better to use clever strategies.”
"Although our army cannot be sure whether the Qin-Qi coalition used hole attacks."
"However, the hole attack strategy must be guarded against!"
Chu Wangqi looked at Zhaocen : "Your Majesty, what do you think our army should do to defend itself?"
The strategy for attacking acupoints has been in place for a long time.
But in Zhaocen's view, the possibility of the Qin-Qi coalition using hole attacks in this battle is slim.
Not to mention how long it would take to dig through the thirty-foot-wide wall of Helu City.
Even if the Qin-Qi coalition really digs a tunnel, so what?
There is also a moat outside the east and west walls of Helv City.
Even if the Qin-Qi coalition forces could sneak into Helu City through the tunnel, they would not be able to cross the two moats!
Zhaocen said euphemistically: "The base of the wall outside our city is thirty feet wide. How long will it take the Qin and Qi coalition forces to dig out a passage even if they attack through holes?"
"I believe that the possibility of the Qin-Qi coalition's hole attack being successful is extremely slim."
"If the Qin-Qi coalition really attacks the hole, it will be nothing more than a futile effort in the end."
"However, , What the king said is true, this point attack strategy must be guarded against!"
Zhao Cen said in a heavy voice: "I intend to send five times more soldiers to listen to the ground and take strict precautions."
"If the Qin-Qi coalition really adopts the strategy of attacking holes, then we, the great Chu, will follow Mozi's strategy and burn the tunnels with fireworks, and then send elite troops to fight the Qin-Qi coalition in the tunnels head-on!"
