Chapter 48 There are human relationships in the military too!
Time lasts!
More than two hours passed.
The battle situation was extremely tense, presenting a seesaw battle.
Many Qin soldiers rushed onto the city walls, but were repelled by the fierce defense of the Han army and were eventually killed by the Han army in the city.
The rain of arrows from both sides continued.
In the city.
Outside the city.
Everything was stained red with blood, and corpses were scattered all over the ground, forming a blood-red pool outside the city.
There were countless corpses of sharp soldiers at the city gate.
Dozens of warriors pushed the battering ram and struck it fiercely countless times.
But the gates remained secure.
"Strong liquor."
"Kerosene."
"kill!"
On the city wall.
Strong liquor was poured and flames were ignited.
Countless Qin Rui soldiers were burned into firemen.
There seemed to be no solution to this miserable war situation.
"rush."
"Break the city with all your strength."
"Let me kill you."
Wu Hua roared loudly and led his elite soldiers towards the city gate.
But even with him as the general leading the troops, the outcome could not be changed.
The South Korean army defended tightly.
The city gate could not be breached and he had no other options.
At this moment, a volley of arrows struck down.
Wu Hua was pierced by arrows and fell in a pool of blood.
But the Qin army under the city continued to attack.
Anyone who retreats before the general's order is given will be directly killed by the supervising army.
The rear of the Qin army.
Seeing that the vanguard army could not break the city.
Li Teng frowned.
The siege was so well prepared, but it took nearly half a day to break through.
"Report."
"Yours sincerely, General Li."
"The vanguard camp suffered heavy casualties, and General Wu Hua was killed in the battle."
"The morale of the vanguard battalion has collapsed."
"May I ask, General, should we withdraw the vanguard camp?"
As a messenger came to report, Li Teng's brows furrowed even more.
"It seems that I have underestimated Zhang Ping and the Han army in the city." Li Teng said in a deep voice.
Then.
"War and attack."
"We should do it in one go."
“Once you retreat.”
"It will definitely affect the entire army, and it will also give the South Korean army a chance to catch its breath."
"The morale of the vanguard battalion has been lost, so let's change it."
"Pass on this general's order."
"Order the vanguard battalion to retreat."
"Let Chen Tao lead his 10,000-general battalion to attack."
"After Chen Tao, all the generals in the camp will follow one by one."
"I swear to conquer the capital of Han in one battle."
Li Teng shouted loudly.
He had also served in the army for many years and naturally understood the impact on military morale.
If we withdraw our troops directly this time, it will definitely have an impact on military morale.
"I obey your orders."
The guards around him responded immediately.
Not long.
Woo!!! The sound of the horn resounded throughout the void.
This is the clarion call for the vanguard battalion to withdraw.
Then.
The vanguard camp under the city of Han began to retreat in an orderly manner.
"The 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 a victorious man.
The Korean soldiers on the city wall also had happy expressions on their faces.
"General."
"Something's wrong."
"This Qin army retreated, and another Qin army moved, and the Qin army archers did not retreat either." A Han general shouted, pointing in front of the city.
Cao Yi's face changed.
At this time.
Chen Tao gripped his sword tightly and stood in front of the formation.
"Zhao Feng, where is Liu Wu?"
Chen Tao shouted loudly.
"I am here."
Zhao Feng and another captain from General Wan's camp replied immediately.
"General Li has ordered the vanguard to withdraw and our 10,000-general battalion to attack."
"Whoever can capture the capital of Han will be the first to achieve great success, and whoever can capture the King of Han will achieve unparalleled success."
"The city has not been conquered, and our army is still being treated favorably by the vanguard. Put down your bows and crossbows, pick up your shields, and kill them!"
"Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
"I will personally supervise the battle!"
"Zhao Feng, Liu Wu, who of you dares to be the vanguard?" Chen Tao shouted, looking at the two captains under his command.
The military system is different.
The siege methods are also different.
"We are willing." Zhao Feng and Liu Wu replied at the same time.
"Zhao Feng, you are new to the main battle camp, and you still need to improve your experience in leading troops."
"This campaign."
"Liu Wu, you will attack as the vanguard."
"Zhao Feng, if Liu Wu's army is weak, you must take over the attack immediately." After taking a quick look, Chen Tao suppressed Zhao Feng with words and finally put the focus on Liu Wu.
Liu Wu said with ecstasy: "I obey your orders."
Then he looked at Zhao Feng and said with a smile: "Captain Zhao, I won't let you take this credit. Once the city gate is broken, you must follow immediately."
It seems that he is confident that he will win the battle.
Zhao Feng just looked at him calmly and could see at a glance how proud Liu Wu was.
"Although the Qin Army is a whole, they are also related to each other."
"It seems that my rapid promotion has made some people jealous." Zhao Feng sneered in his heart.
Zhao Feng had been in command of the war camp for less than half a month. Apart from being familiar with the military officers under his command, he was not very familiar with other people. As for Liu Wu, he had only met him a few times.
It can be seen from the fact that Li Teng decided on the vanguard that he gave priority to his trusted generals, and then it was Chen Tao's turn. However, Chen Tao chose Liu Wu, and there was no doubt that he was on good terms with Liu Wu.
The Qin Dynasty's military merit system was in place, and everyone wanted to compete for merit and be promoted, but who would be the vanguard also depended on the relationship with the superior.
otherwise.
There haven’t been so many incidents of competing for credit since ancient times.
From ancient times to the present, what matters is the ways of the world!
This was Zhao Feng's first time to experience the social practices in the military.
but.
He doesn't care.
"Brothers."
"Did you hear that?"
"The General said so."
"The city has not been conquered, so we are still the vanguard."
"Follow me and capture the capital of Han. The first credit will go to my Duwei Camp."
Liu Wu shouted loudly, with confidence that he could easily capture the capital of Han, and led his 5,000 elite soldiers to charge out 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.
"Captain Liu's men will be the vanguard, and my captain's battalion will be the backup."
"You all should be careful."
"The Han army is raining arrows continuously, try to disperse."
Zhao Feng turned around and gave instructions to Zhang Han and other military commanders, especially looking at Wei Quan.
"promise."
Zhang Han, Wei Quan and five other military marquises replied immediately.
When Liu Wu led his army out, he also opened up a distance between himself and the army led by Zhao Feng.
"kill!"
Zhao Feng didn't waste any words. With a serious look in his eyes, he drew his sword and charged forward. The elite soldiers behind him, under the command of the various military marquises, followed him one after another.
It's just that the speed is not that fast.
The city gate has not been broken. If you rush too fast, you will face the enemy's rain of arrows and become a lamb to be slaughtered.
His eyes turned.
Watching the retreating Qin army, a new force swept in.
Cao Yi immediately shouted: "Once the city is breached, the Qin army will never let us go."
"Aim the archers at the Qin army under the city! Aim the catapults at the Qin archers, kill!"
Faced with a life-and-death situation, the South Korean army also defended with all its might.
Liu Wu held a shield and led the Ten Thousand Generals Camp forward. Facing a hail of arrows, sharp soldiers were shot and killed from time to time.
But soon.
Liu Wu led his men to attack the city.
New forces join.
Near the car, the ladder approached again.
Liu Wu led five thousand elite soldiers in a fierce attack.
Storm the city wall.
Climb the ladder and get to the car.
But despite their fierce attack, they still could not take the city wall, and their casualties were increasing.
