Chapter 632: Taking the military tally and commanding fifty thousand troops, Bai Qi is determined to defy fate!

Within the Qin army, countless battering rams pounded against the gates of Changping, and scaling ladders were set against the walls of Changping.

Zhao Zhu stood atop the city wall, looking outside, his expression very gloomy.

The Qin army had come very quickly; they had been prepared for a long time. More than half of the stone projectiles piled on the city tower had been smashed, and the remaining stones simply could not block the Qin army's attack.

This battle, I fear, is ominous.

He had already sent people to Yecheng to ask for help, but so far there had been no movement.

Could it be that the Zhao State had really abandoned them?

He was not reconciled!

"General, the enemy is attacking; you should hurry and hide below the city tower!"

A soldier beside him hurriedly advised.

Zhao Zhu waved his hand, "I am a general of the Zhao State; how can I run away?"

"But, General..."

"Step down, you don't need to worry about my affairs, get out!"

The person wanted to say more, but was scolded mercilessly by Zhao Zhu, scaring him into lowering his head and running away.

"General, the enemy has reached the foot of the city."

Just then, a guard rushed over to report.

Zhao Zhu took a deep breath and looked up outside the city.

At this moment, the enemy was only ten zhang away from the city wall. A rain of arrows had already shot over like a tide. The Qin army's crossbowmen kept throwing feathered arrows toward the city tower; although there was no effect, it could slightly slow down the enemy's speed.

"General, this subordinate wishes to request to go out of the city to meet the enemy; I guarantee I will not disgrace the mission!" Just then, a young man beside him cupped his fists and said.

Zhao Zhu raised an eyebrow and glanced at the young man, "Who are you?"

The young man smiled: "This subordinate's surname is Liu, given name Jiancheng, courtesy name Zhongde!"

Liu Jiancheng?

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Zhao Zhu was stunned, then suddenly realized: so this was the son of that Changping county official!

Thinking of this, a look of intolerance appeared on Zhao Zhu's face, then he gently patted Liu Jiancheng's shoulder.

"Go down; this has only just begun, it is not yet your time to enter the field."

At this time, the siege battle on the battlefield had completely begun.

Under the Zhao army's arrows, Qin soldiers kept falling from the scaling ladders.

Everywhere there was wailing.

On the Zhao side, crossbowmen were still endless.

The Zhao crossbowmen included not just ordinary centurions and lieutenants, but even some partial generals had participated.

"Kill!"

Zhao Zhu on the city tower waved his war sword, roaring and shouting.

"Swish swish~"

Just then, a dense sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air suddenly erupted from below the city. Hundreds of sharp arrows tore through the void, coming with a whistling sound.

Atop the city tower, it immediately fell into chaos, and countless Qin soldiers met with disaster.

This round of crossbow arrows knocked down more than a dozen Qin soldiers, and these soldiers died on the spot.

"Shield bearers! Shield bearers!"

Someone in the Qin army was terrified.

"General, it's bad; the Qin army has bypassed our flank." Just then, a guard ran to Zhao Zhu in a panic, shouting in a fluster.

Zhao Zhu's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at the Qin army's flank.

He saw dust filling the sky there; the Qin army had already bypassed from the flank.

Scaling ladders were set against the southern city wall.

Zhao Zhu roared: "Send two teams to reinforce the southern city wall, hurry!"

The two vice-generals hurriedly mobilized troops upon hearing this.

Zhao Zhu stared at the Qin army's flank, gritting his teeth, and said hatefully: "The Qin army is indeed cunning, daring to set up a feint to lure our main force away from the western line. This is trouble; pass the order to all units to delay until reinforcements arrive!"

Two teams of soldiers quickly killed their way from the flank, attempting to resist the Qin army and buy more time for Zhao Zhu.

Unfortunately, these two teams of Qin soldiers had long since made perfect deployments.

The moment these two teams of Zhao soldiers left the south wall, they all fired arrows together.

These two teams of men, even if they risked their lives, only held back the Qin army for a short time and did not change the trend of the battle.

Instead, it angered the Qin army. ===== CHAPTER 634 =====
