"What. ”

"The 120,000 Qin army is menacing. ”

When the generals in the tent heard the news, they couldn't help but start discussing, and many of them had a sad look on their faces, with the general combat strength of the Qin army, if the 120,000 troops really went south, the Chu army might be difficult to resist, at least ...... In the absence of a city as a defense, the two armies fought in the field on the plain, and the Chu army was more fierce and less auspicious.

"Is this news real? Shangguan Jian asked.

"It's true, it was Commander Sun who saw it himself, the vanguard of the Qin army has already moved south, and the commander speculates that their target is Wancheng. ”

"You go down first. ”

"Wow. ”

Ye Shikai was silent, his face was solemn, the 120,000 Qin army was menacing, if they were really allowed to kill them, then everything they had done before would be in vain, they had to retreat south, at least to the south of the Zhao River, and even to retreat to Nanjun.

"General Ye, the Qin army is coming rapidly, how should we deal with it. ”

"Yes, General Ye, if the Qin army suddenly attacks our army camp, such a disparity in strength, even if we fight desperately, I am afraid we will not be able to recover the defeat. Several generals asked Ye Shikai that ignoring this news was a "bolt from the blue" and a "blow to the head" for everyone, especially Ye Shikai, as a commander, in the face of such a difficult situation, whether it was retreat or battle, and he had to make a decision as soon as possible.

"Every time the Qin army set out, it was opened by the iron cavalry, and the infantry followed closely, this time they moved so quickly, it must be because of the crisis in Wancheng, so I judged that they would definitely send the iron cavalry south day and night first, delay our movements, and drag it until the arrival of the large army. Ye Shikai analyzed, and suddenly turned his head to look at everyone, "We can't retreat now, otherwise if we let the Qin army catch up, the retreat will turn into a rout." ”

"If the Qin army has just entered the territory of Nanyang, then it will take at least two days and one night for the cavalry to arrive, so we must capture Wancheng tomorrow. "Ye Shikai has already made up his mind to conquer Wancheng, as long as there is a city with a high city and a deep pool, he can resist the Qin army.

"Generals, the situation is urgent, and tomorrow's battle is related to the life and death of the brothers in the whole army, so it is imperative to win. ”

"Wow. ”

"Wow. ”

Ye Shikai is still very confident in how to conquer Wancheng before the Qin army goes south, in addition to the distance, Zhang Lan and Wang Lian each led 10,000 troops, guarding the only way to the east and west, if the Qin army attacked, they could resist for a while.

"Order Sun Cai, let him lead the team members to monitor the movements of the Qin army day and night, and I want to know every move. ”

"Well, my subordinates are going to give orders. ”

Following.

As soon as the day dawned, the whole army assembled at Simen, yesterday was a bloody battle, the vitality of the army was damaged, if it was in peacetime, maybe Ye Shikai would let the army rest for a few days, but now at this moment, he can only hope that the sergeants can endure it.

"Ironclad. Man Cang shouted and stuck his sword on the ground, "If anyone dares to retreat from this sword, kill them on the spot, and if anyone can take down Zheng Lang's head, he will be promoted to a thousand commanders, and a reward of 100 gold." ”

"Kill. ”

"Kill. ”

"Kill. ”

The ironclad army shouted in unison, they didn't go to the battlefield yesterday, everyone was holding their breath, and now it's just time to vent it.

"Kill me as I want. ”

Ye Shikai also came to the east gate this time, personally commanding the main force to attack the city, and the four gates attacked Wancheng, and the morale of the Qin army was also extremely low, if it wasn't for Zheng Lang to supervise the battle above, I'm afraid they would have retreated long ago.

on the city walls.

"Shoot the arrows, give me the arrows, don't retreat, whoever escapes without permission will be killed. Zheng Lang took the long sword and shouted loudly, from time to time he would execute one or two deserters to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Stand up for me, huddle there and die. ”

"Will ...... General, there are too many Chu troops rushing up, we can't stop it. ”

"If you say anything, you can't stop it, if the city is broken, we will all die, let me go back and stand in my position." Zheng Lang shouted loudly.

"Whew...... Here. ”

"Everyone, listen, our troops have come to Nanyang, and they will arrive tomorrow, as long as we defend today, we will win. Zheng Lang shouted loudly.

"Understood. ”

……………………………………………………

Under the city.

"General, the troops have broken through to the city walls, and it won't be long before they can be overcome. An officer of the Ironclad Army reported.

"Very good, let the follow-up troops must keep up, and the Qin army must not be allowed to occupy the city wall again. Ye Shikai ordered, the reason why the siege will pay huge casualties is because the defenders occupy a favorable position, as long as the city wall is in the hands of the Qin army, the ironclad army will be counterattacked, but as long as the city wall is occupied, it is equivalent to breaking the city gate, and the army can conquer the city by driving straight in.

"Wow. ”

Report. Suddenly, a herald rode up to Ye Shikai.

"What's wrong. ”

"The iron cavalry of the Qin army in the north is rushing towards Wancheng, and the forward troops are less than a hundred miles away from Wancheng. ”

"What, how could it be so fast. When Ye Shikai heard the news, his face changed greatly, this news was too sudden, even if it was an iron horse, it was impossible to march so far in one night.

"The iron cavalry of the Qin army left behind the baggage troops and marched in a hurry with rations. ”

"How many of them there are. ”

"Between 10,000 and 20,000 people, there are so many of them that it's really hard to calculate. ”

"Inform Zhang Lan, let him lead his subordinates to guard the only way for the Qin army, as long as the Qin army's iron cavalry arrives, be sure to block it on the periphery, in addition, pass on my general order, let Wang Lian take his subordinates to Zhang Lan, and the two armies will merge and block together. ”

"Wow. ”

At this moment, Ye Shikai couldn't relax anymore, the Qin army on the periphery was menacing, it seemed that they had received Zheng Lang's battle report, so they ignored the logistical baggage and pounced directly, which also proves that the bottom line of the imperial court is Wancheng, if Wancheng is broken, the generals of the Qin army who lead the troops may not have good fruit to eat, so he will come in such a hurry.

"What about our follow-up troops. Ye Shikai shouted excitedly.

"Gift...... Tell the general that we have not yet received a letter from the lord, but the troops in the rear are already in action, and it should not be long before they arrive. ”

"It won't be long, and if it's too late, we'll lose, and we won't be able to find a grave when we die. In a hurry, Ye Shikai scolded, what is Mi Wen doing, if she knew the military situation on the front line, she must be very anxious.

"Old Ye, if I don't threaten those generals, we will fight to the death in front, and they will watch from the back, what kind of reason is this. Shangguan Jian couldn't help but shout.
