Xiang Rong saw a Qin army rushing towards him, and immediately ordered light troops to intercept and kill, and the battle situation immediately fell into a stalemate.

The drums of the Qin army suddenly stopped, and the soldiers of the Qin army shouted in unison: "General Xiang has been killed by an arrow!" General Xiang was killed by an arrow! "Over and over again.

The soldiers of the Chu army were startled and looked back one after another. At this moment, countless Chu Jun's heads immediately moved. Unbeknownst to many soldiers, they immediately lost their courage and instinctively retreated. The Chu army immediately couldn't support it, and the formation began to loosen! Montenegro did not waste this opportunity, and ordered the flag to wave decisively, and the cavalry lined up to kill the sea. The Chu army was immediately routed and retreated, just as he himself dispersed the wooden hammer formation behind that was dedicated to dealing with cavalry. The infantry, without the coordination of formations, was not at all an opponent of the cavalry, and immediately turned into a massacre. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiang Rong hurriedly shouted gold and let the team retreat into the car formation to hold on.

"Meatloaf, bring a thousand cavalry and light soldiers, capture the thief and capture the king first!" Montenegro commanded.

Xiang Rong's short soldiers were concentrating on dealing with Nobita's hundred-man team, when suddenly another cavalry army came to kill him, and he immediately messed up.

When Xin Sheng saw it, he immediately brought his own short soldiers and rushed over!

Xiang Rong saw that the defeat was decided, so he was busy fighting and leaving, but the gate of the car formation was blocked by the rout. His men are short-handed, dodge, and let the general go in first! The routs immediately dispersed.

Seeing that Xiang Rong was about to flee into the car formation, Nobita was anxious, and threw the big iron rod in his hand at Xiang Rong, smashing it firmly on Xiang Rong's back. Where did Xiang Rong withstand such a heavy blow, he immediately vomited blood and fell off the horse. As soon as the main general fell from his horse, the Chu army was immediately in chaos, and the soldiers began to flee in all directions. The Qin cavalry immediately dispersed in pursuit. Xiang Rong's more than 300 short soldiers tightly surrounded Xiang Rong's corpse, fighting to the death. The Qin army surrounded them in the middle, and countless crossbow arrows were aimed at these people who were not afraid of death, and what Montenegro saw from their faces was the courage to die, not the fear of death.

"General Ben respects your bravery and lays down his arms and leaves the body of this general behind. Let's go! Black Mountain said, and Qin Jun immediately dodged a passage.

These Chu soldiers did not run away, but committed suicide one by one, by wiping their necks one after another! There is not one of the more than 300 left. Blood gushed out like a fountain of countless fountains.

Montenegro looked pale, and it was not uncommon for him to commit suicide in despair on the battlefield, but the suicide of more than three hundred people at the same time shocked everyone's hearts.

Montenegro quickly came to his senses and ordered: "Brother Ah Hei will take five hundred people to the north for a hundred miles, guard the main road, and don't let the news from here reach Pengcheng!" The others stopped the pursuit, quickly cleaned up the battlefield, stripped off the clothes of a hundred Chu soldiers, and buried these warriors well! ”

In this battle, the Chu army lost more than 12,000 people. The Qin army only lost more than 1,000 people, which was already a great victory.

As soon as it was dark, the Qin army had already arrived outside Pengcheng. Montenegro looked at the majestic city wall of Pengcheng and the moat that was four feet wide, and said to his generals: "I need a hundred Iron Eagle warriors to change into the clothes of the short soldiers of the Chu State, pretend to be wounded soldiers, carry Xiang Rong's corpse to deceive the city gate, half of the people guard the city gate, half of the people kill to the head of the city, put down the drawbridge, we will kill it, this is a very dangerous task, let them voluntarily sign up!" ”

A hundred iron eagle warriors were quickly selected, they dressed up as Xiang Rong's short soldiers, carried Xiang Rong's body, and rushed to the front of the suspension bridge, and someone shouted in a Chu accent: "General Xiang is seriously injured, open the city gate quickly!" ”

"Which general?" The general guarding the city gate at the head of the city was also from the Xiang clan and shouted worriedly.

"The eldest son, General Xiang Rong, is seriously injured! Open the gates! Joshita replied.

"Put down the drawbridge, let one person go down and see clearly!" The general of the castle head was a little uneasy in his heart, but he did not forget his mission and ordered.

The drawbridge was slowly lowered, and a Chu soldier also sat on a hanging basket and hung down the city wall. He held the torch high, and when everyone walked across the suspension bridge with a stretcher, he stepped forward to check carefully, confirming that it was Xiang Rong, but Xiang Rong was no longer alive at this time, Chu Bing saw it, and Xiang Rong was seriously injured and unconscious, and immediately shouted loudly: "General, it's the eldest prince Xiang Rong, open the city gate quickly!" ”

"Close the drawbridge and open the city gate!" The general at the head of the city commanded. Ten soldiers pushed the winch, and the drawbridge slowly rose. The general of the wall hurriedly walked down the wall city to the city gate, and asked him to report to the general.

The city gate opened, and as soon as the general at the head of the city saw Xiang Rong's body clearly, a long sword pierced his heart. The Qin army immediately moved, and the people guarding the door were leaderless for a while, and they couldn't distinguish between friend and foe, so they could only shout loudly and make a mess. Nobita led the people and quickly killed the city wall and successfully cut down the bridge. The Iron Eagle Warriors are all one to ten, and they are killed on both sides!

Montenegro received the signal and immediately ordered the cavalry to rush to the city gates.

When the surrounding Chu troops heard the sound of killing, they rushed to the city gate, but they couldn't distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and they were in chaos. The cavalry of the Qin army immediately entered the city, and the Chu army could no longer resist it, and the whole line was defeated!

Xiang Yan had to report that the general trend had gone, and he had no choice but to lead the remnants of the army to escape from the west gate at night. The killing continued for two hours before it gradually subsided! Montenegro ordered martial law throughout the city, guarding the four gates, and the arsenal and the treasury, taking turns to rest and wait for dawn.

After dawn, Hei patrolled the whole city, there were corpses of Chu Jun everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood! In the arsenal, all kinds of weapons are piled up, and there are 300,000 tons of grain in the granary, and there are countless amounts of money. The officer came to report: "More than 8,000 beheaded, 3,000 prisoners." The Qin army lost 1,200 killed and 2,000 wounded. The injured are all bandaged, regardless of Qin Chu! ”

Capturing the fortified city of Pengcheng is enough to deter the Chu State, and he will bring 20,000 people and go deep alone, and it will be dangerous to stay for a long time. So Montenegro ordered: "Call all the ox carts of the city, and take away the weapons and money." Take the uninjured captives and retreat to Tao County! ”

Everyone immediately took action to load the weapons and money from the treasury of Pengcheng. It was fully loaded with more than 500 cars. Only a large amount of grain was left behind.

When camping at night, when summing up the experience. Montenegro asked the generals: "Pengcheng and Xue Cheng, what do you think is the difference?" ”

"Pengcheng is cleaner than the city of Xue County! More like the city of Daqin. Meatloaf said.

"There are no slaves in the city of the Xiang family, no beggars and other idle people, which is the same as that of the Qin state. But there are many young men with weapons. Xin Sheng said.

"The eyes of the people are different. The people of Xue County, when they saw us, their eyes were full of fear! There was a flattering smile on his face. And Peng Cheng and the next minister don't, there is only hatred in their eyes! I dare to conclude that once the Chu army besieges us outside the city, the people inside the city will definitely pick up their knives and fight us! Brother Ahi said.

"The country of Chu is vast and has a large population. If they insisted on using Qu Yuan's method of change back then, they would definitely be Qin's fierce rivals now. Qu Yuan is not reused by the King of Chu, but God helps Daqin! Montenegro sighed.

Xiang Yan is the same age as Wang Qian, and she originally had black beard and black hair, but she was all white last night! He originally thought that he was a 40,000 elite new army based on the fortified city, waiting for work at ease, and taking advantage of the time, place, and people. As long as the 20,000 soldiers of the Qin army come to Pengcheng, they will definitely not return. I didn't expect to lose everything! At the beginning, he was led by the nose, lost his teacher and left the city, and his eldest son was also killed. After running all night, I stopped it at dawn and counted the number of people, and there were only 10,000 people left around.

As soon as the Qin army withdrew from Pengcheng, the officials in the city immediately sent someone to tell Xiang Yan. Xiang Yan immediately led the remnants of the defeated army to return to Pengcheng! In his imagination, the Qin army should burn and loot in the city, and his family must not be happy. The moment he fled the city, he was ready for the worst. When he re-entered the city, he doubted his eyes! The shop has been opened normally, and pedestrians come and go. If it weren't for the blackened blood stains on the ground and the faint smell of blood in the air, I wouldn't dare to imagine that a bloody battle had just taken place here. He hurriedly galloped towards Xiang's mansion and entered the largest mansion in Pengcheng, and his hanging heart immediately settled down! Everything is as it was before, very peaceful. The old man told him that not only did the Qin people not enter the Xiang Mansion, but they also did not enter the people's homes! Except for a few civilians who violated martial law and were beheaded, they really didn't touch a single cent of the common people. What kind of army is this, the discipline is unheard of. "What a terrible team this is!" Xiang Yan muttered to himself, he didn't like it, but worried about it.

Soon, Sima and Peng Chengling came to report. Sima said: "The people have already transported all the bodies of the fallen soldiers outside the city to prepare for cremation, and the Qin army did not cut off the heads of the corpses this time. More than 4,000 people were injured, and the Qin army had already bandaged them all! There was a battle the night before yesterday, and 15,000 people were dead and missing! The soldiers of Hexia Xiangcheng brought by the eldest prince were 10,000 killed, and the number of wounded is not known! This time we lost more than 30,000 people! ”

After hearing this, Xiang Yan took a step backwards and almost fainted. The county guard hurriedly supported him and comforted: "General Xiang, mourn!" Take care of yourself! The country of Chu can't live without you! ”

"Tell me about it, too! How much is lost? I can hold on! Xiang Yanqiang held back the churning chest, gritted his steel teeth, and asked.

"The weapons in the arsenal and the money in the treasury have all been emptied! The grain and kudzu are basically there. The old official in charge of the treasury said that a general of the Qin army suggested that the grain cloth be burned. The Qin general, who was the leader, said that it was against the way of heaven for these people to burn the people's fat, and it was the common people who suffered. So they all stayed! The county warden said.

Xiang Yan only felt a salty throat, swallowed back a mouthful of blood, and said, "The Qin army has begun to buy people's hearts!" It's more terrible than burning, killing, looting! Order all the Xiang clan members to donate all the money to compensate the dead and wounded! Hurry up and burn the corpses of the fallen soldiers, wash the blood stains, and prevent the epidemic! As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes turned black and he passed out.

Wang Ben led 100,000 troops from Yingchuan County to attack Chencheng, with 20,000 horsemen all the way to the east to attack the city and plunder, invincible, and designed to defeat the 50,000 Chu army of Juyang City in a battle in the wild, at this time Montenegro just captured Pengcheng. The two armies had actually opened the west and north gates of Shouchun City, the capital of the Chu State. The cavalry can reach Shouchun in one day. The government and the opposition of the state of Chu were shaken, and the nobles argued endlessly about sending troops to resist Qin. They blamed the king of Chu for not shouting about attacking Qin, provoking the Qin state and attracting revenge. As a result, the matter of sending troops was not discussed, but the newly succeeded King Chu was lectured. After arguing like this for two days, the two Qin armies retreated inexplicably. Chen County was the direct territory of the Chu royal family, and Surabaya County was the fief of the Xiang family.

Ling Yi Jingqi said proudly: "Look, what did I say, Qin Jun really retreated by himself, right?" 20,000 want to destroy Chu, and one person drowns them with a mouthful of foam! ”

Zuo apprentice Ren Ni and Sanlu doctor Qu Zheng agreed one after another!

Xiong Chengshu, the king of Chu, was an ambitious and ambitious king, otherwise he would never have killed his brother to defend the throne. He had long seen the danger of the destruction of the Chu State, and did not hesitate to kill his brother who spent all day drinking, in order to revitalize the Chu State. In the past two years since he succeeded to the throne, he has hit a wall everywhere, although the land of Chu is vast and the population is large, there are dozens of large and small feudal monarchs, just like a plate of scattered sand, and the people in the fiefdom only know the feudal monarchs, but they do not know that there is a king of Chu. Only Xiang's Xiang Yan and him are of the same heart. He reused Xiang Yan and supported the Xiang family to promote the new policy and train the new army in the direct territory of the royal family, only thinking that when there was a great success, he would have a solid backing strength, and then enforce the new policy, so that the revival of the Chu State was hopeful, so that he would not follow in the footsteps of Han, Zhao, and Yan. The time that Qin gave Chu was running out! The New Deal could only be implemented in secret, because he understood that neither the Qin State nor the three nobles of Zhao, Qu, and Jing would allow the New Deal to take root in the Chu State. When the Qin army invaded Chen, Xue, and Surabaya counties in two ways, he completely understood that it must be the three nobles who used the power of the Qin state to eliminate the new policy.

Xiong Yingshu saw that the three nobles were proud, and he was angry. These people, when the enemy is at present, are useless, and it is really a strange plan to harm the Chu State. Now it is impossible to discuss the shortcomings with these traitors, so they can only summon Xiang Yan into the palace to discuss countermeasures.

Xiang Yan was in a coma for two days, and when he woke up, it happened that the State of Chu sent an envoy to summon him into the palace. He hurried to Shouchun and met Xiong Cheng.

After the monarch and minister's salute, he saw that Xiang Yan's beard was white, and suddenly burst into tears, and said: "General Xiang, you must hold on, without you, the Chu State will be over!" ”

"In this battle, my son Xiang Rong and more than 20,000 new soldiers died! The sin of the minister! The money stored in the warehouse and the weapons in the arsenal were all lost, but fortunately, the people and the food and grass were all right! Xiang Yan said.

"There are people and food, and there is hope. The royal family still has a million gold, you take it all, your father's underground palace has not been closed, and the widow will let people in, pick up more valuable ones and bring them out, and you will take them with you. The light and strong of the royal realm are at your disposal, and you have to retrain 150,000 new troops in the shortest possible time. The state of Qin will not give us much time. Xiong said.

"The king, there is a king in Dachu, and Zhongxing is hopeful. It's just a top priority, how can we stabilize the Qin State? Xiang Yan was already in tears at this time, and cried: "It is unheard of for the King of Chu to dig his father's tomb to prepare military salaries for the new army. It's a pity that although the state of Chu has thousands of miles of land and tens of millions of people, the royal family is forced to be so embarrassed. But what is most lacking at the moment is time, and if the Qin army goes south, we will do our best. Xiang Yan said, her face full of hardship.

"The Qin army retreats, and the Qin envoy should be almost there! The widow can only cede Ying Chen in exchange for the covenant! King Chu said.

"Your Majesty, Chendi has always been an important city for royal income. Cession out, what will happen to the royal family? Xiang Yan said.

"In order to gain time to change the law, Qin Xiaogong and Wei Ying ceded large tracts of land in Hexi and Hedong to Wei. The widow follows Qin Xiaogong today, and General Xiang is the widow's guard. Tears have fallen, the bear said.

"The king is very gracious, the whole family of the Xiang clan can't repay it!" Xiang Yan was also moved to tears.

"Your Majesty, the Korean Zhang Liang asks to see!" An attendant came to report.

"Hurry up, please!" King Chu said.

Zhang Liang has been running around the world, advocating cooperation and connivance against Qin. Although he has hardly succeeded, his reputation is getting louder and louder. He has always been dressed in white, handsome and chic. came to the palace and greeted the King of Chu and Xiang Yan.

The king of Chu said: "The state of Chu was suddenly attacked by the Qin army and suffered a heavy defeat, lost its division and humiliated the country, and was preparing to cede land and sue for peace. The ovary has come from afar this time, and there must be a good plan to teach me! ”

Zhang Liang took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Although the Qin State is strong, it uses troops everywhere and is in a hurry. Now he is preparing to destroy Wei, and his ambition is not small. To tell you the truth, I have secretly recruited 4,000 skilled killers, contacted the three old Han nobles of the Duan clan, the Xia clan, and the Gongli clan as the main force, plus the anti-Qin warriors from various countries that Zhang Liang has searched for many years, a total of more than 60,000 people, and contacted Han Wang An, preparing to raise troops to restore Han when the spring is busy. Now Xinzheng is empty, we are sure that we will fight a war, after the restoration of the king of Han, the people of the old Han have been suffering for five years, and they will definitely come to vote one after another, open the arsenal and granary of Xinzheng, and immediately arm 200,000 Korean new troops. Prince Yan Dan and Dai Wang Jia will also counterattack at the same time. I hope that Chu and Wei will also send troops at the same time! At that time, the Qin State will not be able to take care of each other, and it will definitely be defeated. ”

Xiang Yan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Ofan, I advise you, the current military and economic strength of the Qin State, all of our Chu, Qi, Wei, Yan, and Dai plus your tens of thousands of anti-Qin warriors may not be able to resist it." The old man advises you not to make a move, 4,000 skills to kill soldiers, and 2,000 well-trained infantry on the battlefield is not as good. Scattering these people all over Han Zhao and secretly destroying them may give the Qin State a headache for a while. ”

"I've made up my mind, and I've already made an appointment with Yan Dai, so I don't need to persuade again! As long as the state of Chu is not in a hurry to sign an alliance with Qin, the main force of the Qin army will be contained on the border of Qin and Chu! I can take advantage of the emptiness in Nanyang and Yingchuan to fight, and after the restoration of Korea, I will join forces with you to fight against Qin. Zhang Liang talked about it.

Xiang Yan has always admired Zhang Liang's indomitable spirit and respected him for running around to resist Qin. For the first time today, I looked at Zhang Liang like an idiot, and I stopped talking! In his opinion, Zhang Liang will definitely be defeated.

"I came here this time to give Chu a big gift. In the future, when Qin and Chu face off against each other in the future, this gift is enough to turn Chu into victory! Zhang Liang said, paused and looked at King Chu and Xiang Yan with a smile.

"What a great gift, I wish to hear it!" King Chu and Xiang Yan both asked curiously.
