120 embattled

Xiang Yan came to the palace, it was getting late, the hall was crowded, and hundreds of civil and military officials of all sizes came! Everyone was in a heavy mood and whispering. Seeing Xiang Yan enter the hall, everyone shut up, consciously let go of the passage in the middle, and looked at Xiang Yan with eyes without respect and expectation.

Xiang Yan strode with his head held high, full of silver hair, he had aged a lot a few months ago, but he still walked steadily, and he was not angry. He actually came to the front of the Wang case and saluted Prime Minister Xiong Qi. At this time, a chamberlain eunuch shouted: "The king of Chu has arrived!" ”

The king of Chu was in the prime of life, but he looked like a half-hundred-hundred, exhausted and tired.

"I'm King Wannian!" The ministers paid homage in unison. He didn't go to his own Wang case, but walked to the front, picked up Xiang Yan, and said: "Wu Anjun is tired from the battlefield, he shouldn't have passed you into the palace as soon as he came back, but the ministers were panicked and had to do it. ”

"Xiang Yan has the trust of the king and the prime minister, and the army is defeated and withdrawn to Yingshou, and the crime deserves death!" After Xiang Yan finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

He picked up Xiang Yan again and said, "Wu Anjun salutes, what is the form, let's talk to the ministers!" After saying that, he returned to the throne and almost fell down the steps. With the help of the chamberlain, he sat back on the throne.

Xiang Yan's voice was like a bell, and he said loudly: "The defeat of the Chu army this time is not a loss of war, but a failure of the system. Since the Warring States Period, various countries have changed their laws to become stronger, especially the Qin State, abolishing slavery, the aristocracy and the common people have the same law, rewarding farming and warfare, and the whole country is united. Only I am a big Chu, all the big and small feudal monarchs support the army and respect themselves, only know how to exploit slaves and farmers, and a small fifty miles of feudal monarchs are buried alive and hundreds of people are buried. The Qin army printed these into albums and publicized them widely. As a result, the counties in the north, the commoners and slaves defected, and the Ouyue in the south also took advantage of the emptiness in our rear to rebel. In that year, Zhou destroyed Shang, and the king of Shang resisted King Wu of Zhou with a slave army, and the slave army fought back and Shang died. Today's Dachu and Shang are the same. Xiang Yan can defend the city, but he can't guard the hearts of tens of millions of people in Dachu! ”

When the ministers heard that Xiang Yan had put the blame for the defeat on them, they were immediately unwilling, and they disturbed one after another, accusing Xiang Yan of shirking responsibility. At first, the whispering slowly turned into scolding, and the hall roared again.

The king of Chu was furious and dropped the pen holder on the king's case, and the hall suddenly quieted down, and the needle drop could be heard.

The King of Chu shouted angrily: "If you had supported Wu Anjun's reform a few years earlier, why would you be disadvantageous today? Now that the sword hangs over your head, and the country is dead, you don't know where the defeat is? If it weren't for Wu Anjun's support, everyone would have been arrested by the Qin army to repair the Lishan Mausoleum! Listen to what Wu Anjun does to turn defeat into victory? ”

Only then did all the ministers quiet down and look at Wu Anjun in unison. Xiang Yan continued: "There are still nearly 100 large and small cities in Dachu, 6 million people, and 400,000 soldiers in Yingshou, so there is no problem in defending the city. But the Qin army will soon infiltrate the countryside in our rear, and carry out land reform under the guise of emancipating slaves and subordinate peasants. Now as long as you return to your respective fiefdoms immediately, before the arrival of the Qin army, release all the slaves and give them your land and land. Organize them and let them advance and retreat with us, or they may be able to fight the Qin State. If it's slow, we won't have any chance of winning. As a free citizen of the Qin State or a slave of the Chu State, which side do you think the slaves and subordinate peasants of your fiefdom will stand on? ”

The crowd was silent, and no one answered.

After a while, someone whispered, "Without land and slaves, should we work on our own like untouchables?" ”

Someone else said: "The land was won by the ancestors through the bloody struggle of several generations, so how can it be lightly distributed to the untouchables?" ”

"When is it? Qin Jun's sword is already on your neck, and you still don't know what it means to lose a car and protect the handsome? Prime Minister Xiong Qi scolded, "Whether to give up the land yourself in exchange for the hearts of the common people, or wait for the Qin people to kill you, and then distribute the land to the farmers, you choose!" ”

"Smack!" The king of Chu slapped the king's case angrily and scolded: "At an extraordinary time, do an extraordinary law!" From now on, all slaves will be released throughout the country, and the slaves and subordinate peasants will be given civilian status, and each feudal monarch will give every dding of land to the landless. Dare to disobey the king's orders, no matter who it is, all of them will take the title and punish the nine clans! ”

When everyone saw that the king of Chu was iron-hearted, they were all silent and promised one after another.

The king of Chu left Xiong Qi and Xiang Yan behind, and when everyone dispersed, he asked, "Wu Anjun, does Great Chu have a chance of winning?" ”

"Hey!" Xiang Yan sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the Qin army took advantage of the contradiction between the Great Chu Subordinate Farmers and the feudal monarch to make us chaotic without a fight. Da Chu has no chance of winning. Xiang Yan is willing to live and die with Yingshou and drag down the Qin army. Please ask the king and the prime minister to go south and retreat to the land of South Vietnam. South Vietnam has high road hazards, damp and smoke barriers. If the Qin army goes south, it will not adapt to the water and soil, and it will be sick. The king can follow the example of the king to prevent the king from practicing it, lying on the salary to pay for the gall, entering can recover the great Chu, and retreating can be self-insured. When there are changes in the world, and then go north, Dachu can be revived. ”

"Wu Anjun is reasonable, please go south immediately, and I will stay with Wu Anjun to fight against the Qin army." Chang Pingjun said.

"Nope! Anyone can escape, but the widow can't escape! If the widow escapes, the Qin army will pursue and kill to the end, and only if the widow sacrifices his life, the Qin army will give up the pursuit and kill, and many royal families will have a chance to live. King Chu said. After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt relaxed. People who see through life and death will no longer have fear.

At this moment, the palace gate official came to report: "Meng Tianshui has arrived at the river outside the north gate." The Montenegrin army is coming non-stop, less than twenty miles. ”

The King of Chu was shocked and said, "Why did the Qin army come so quickly? Wu Anjun, what should I do? ”

"The king, the minister led the army out of the city to block the Qin army, and the king and Changping Jun took the prince and princess south before Yingshou was besieged. Count after the picture! Don't put it off. The king is here, Da Chu is here, Changping Jun, please! After Xiang Yan finished speaking, he gave a big gift to the king of Chu and left the palace without looking back.

The King of Chu and the King of Changping gave each other a big gift, until Xiang Yan's figure disappeared outside the hall and got up.

"Uncle Wang, you take the children of the royal family out of the city quickly, only the widow martyrdom can make the Qin army give up the pursuit!" King Chu closed his eyes, two lines of hot tears flowed, and said softly.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been in Qin for more than 50 years, and he knows Yingzheng's personality very well, and he will never give up if he doesn't catch the minister. Only when the ministers, Wu Anjun and the king are all there, the Qin army will let go of the children of the royal family. Let them disperse out of the city and flee for their lives, so that the rear of Da Chu will not be driven out and killed! Xiong Qi also shed tears and replied in a choked voice.

He raised his head, trying not to let his tears fall, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Since the day the widow ascended the throne, he has been wearing his liver and gall day and night, and he has been thinking about the rejuvenation of Chu all the time. Let the princes and princesses flee for their lives, and the widows will stay and live and die with Da Chu! ”

……

Montenegro learned that Xiang Yan withdrew from Pengcheng, ordered Meng Hao to enter the city to appease the people, and personally led the army south, along the way there were mountain troops to report the news, do not be afraid of Xiang Yan ambush halfway, Xiang Yan's army just crossed the river for half a day, the Montenegrin army and Meng Tian's army arrived one after another.

Meng Tian used all kinds of warships to build a pontoon bridge to meet the army across the river, and the rest of the warships used bed crossbows and stone throwers to cover the landing of the army.

Montenegro climbed to the south bank of the Great River and looked at the tall city wall of Yingshou in the distance. The scout came to report: "The Chu army is arrayed outside the city, about 100,000 people. ”

Montenegro thought for a while and said to his generals: "Xiang Yan's move is to delay our army's siege. The army took a defensive formation and slowly advanced forward. ”

To the sound of "dong dong" war drums, the Qin army quickly formed a formation. In front of the three rows of shield soldiers, holding a one-man high iron shield, behind are ten rows of crossbowmen, behind the crossbowmen are three rows of spearmen holding three zhang long, behind the spearmen is the bed crossbow array, behind the bed crossbow array is the infantry phalanx, and finally the heavy cavalry array.

Black Mountain stood on the high cloud chariot, looking at the black pressure of the Qin army left and right, and with the thunderous war drums, he stepped on the neat steps and slowly advanced forward, until the two armies wanted to stop a hundred steps apart.

Montenegro got off the cloud car and walked into the handsome tent that had just been erected, and all the generals came to ask for battle, hoping to make this first contribution.

Montenegro shook his head and said: "This kind of positional warfare is often a thousand killings and eight hundred self-losses. Moreover, our army came from afar, and the physical strength of the soldiers has not yet fully recovered. Pass on my general order, set up on the spot, and don't take the initiative to fight. The rear army buries the pot and cooks! ”

The generals knew very well the way of using troops in Montenegro, and unless the enemy attacked, they would not rush head-on with the enemy army with the same strength. So no one objected, and they went their own way.

At this time, there was a great turmoil in Yingshou City, at the beginning, the nobles fled from the east, west and south gates, causing panic among the people and began to flee, and finally even many generals changed into the clothes of the people and fled. Xiang Yan had no choice but to retreat to the city.

At this time, Wang Ben's army also reached the west of Yingshou City, and Montenegro ordered Meng Tian's 150,000 troops, leaving 50,000 sailors to guard the Yangtze River in the north, and 100,000 and his own 200,000 troops to guard the east and south, and Wang Ben's army was stationed outside the West Gate. The army built a wall outside Yingshou, dug trenches, built the strongest fortifications, and surrounded Yingshou into an iron barrel, which was impermeable.

Within a few days, the fortifications were completed, and Montenegro dispatched 100,000 mountain troops to the countryside around Yingshou

This time it was much easier to carry out land reform in the countryside than last year, because the officers and men of the Qin army were already familiar with the road, and second, the policies of the Qin army had long been spread throughout the Chu state. Many slave owners and landowners fled one after another, either consciously sacrificing their farms and freeing their slaves to surrender. As soon as some cities saw the Qin army, they immediately surrendered and did not resist. A month later, the Chu capital of Yingshou became a lonely city in the territory of the Qin State.

Outside the east gate of Yingshou, there is a palace of the king of Chu, by the lake and the mountain, there are thousands of acres, built magnificently, the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is pleasant. At the beginning, Zhang Jin recruited this place as a general. When Montenegro found out, he reprimanded him harshly, and chose a Wujin mountain villa near the palace as the shogunate.

On the day of the summer solstice, Montenegro summoned all the generals to the shogunate. The generals arrived on time, and after Montenegro sat firmly in the handsome case, the eldest son Fusu sat on the side of the handsome case as the secretary. The generals Wang Ben and Meng Tian were the leaders, and they were on both sides of the handsome case.

After Sima Menghao finished the roll call, he introduced: "Since the siege of Yingshou, more than 30 surrounding cities have surrendered to Great Qin. More than a dozen distant cities sent envoys to ask for surrender, because our army could not free up their hands to receive them for the time being. Now there are still 400,000 Chu troops and 600,000 people in Yingshou City. Enough grain and grass to last for five years. According to the report of the Black Ice Platform, the morale of the Chu army in the city is low, and it is a good time to attack the city, so please ask the general to decide. ”

"Although Yingshou's Chu kings and ministers are already turtles in the urn, the 400,000 Chu army is still not to be underestimated. What are the generals planning to break Yingshou? Montenegro asked.

Mi Long took the lead and said: "It's like attacking Handan, shouting across them." ”

The dead fat man continued: "Learn from General Wang Ben to attack the beam, and divert water to irrigate Yingshou!" ”

The rest of the generals said: "After entering Chu for more than a year, there has hardly been a hard battle, and the morale of our army is at its peak, and the strong attack is the most direct." ”

Yan Han said: "Bring the 800 stone throwers of 400 warships ashore and bombard the city gate for a day, if you can't break through the city gate, you can also bombard the slope out, and the cavalry can cross the horse into the city!" ”

Montenegro didn't say anything, and asked Meng Tian on the left: "What does General Meng think?" ”

Meng Tian said: "Since ancient times, soldiers have been used, attacking the city as the bottom, and attacking the heart as the top. I suggest that the same as attacking Handan, fight the battle of the heart! ”

Montenegro asked Wang Ben again, and Wang Ben replied: "I agree with General Meng, attack the heart first!" ”

Montenegro said with a smile: "The generals' strategies are all good, I will synthesize everyone's methods and come up with a clever plan, try it first, and then use your strategy if it fails." ”

The generals listened to Montenegro's words and expressed their willingness to hear it in detail.

Montenegro said with a smile: "Immediately recruit 50,000 Chu people who can drink Chu Ge, and this general will use Chu Ge to crush the last trace of fighting spirit of the 400,000 Chu army!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned! Since ancient times, who knows that singing can destroy millions of heroes.

Everyone was talking again, and they were lively, when suddenly a military official shouted outside the door: "Xianyang sent 800 miles to expedite!" "One of the military officials went straight in and handed a letter to Montenegro.

Black Mountain opened it and saw that it was the document of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shangyun: "King Qin led his ministers to enter Tao County along the Chi Road through Sanchuan, and then went south to Yingshou, hoping to make preparations for the drive as soon as possible." ”

After reading it, Montenegro ordered: "Wang Ben and Meng Tian stay, the carpenter and Shi Fatzi are ordered outside the door, and the others return to the camp." ”

After everyone withdrew, Montenegro handed the letter to the two. When the two saw it, they both looked at each other. Wang Ben said: "The king is really anxious, Yingcheng has not yet stopped, so he is in a hurry to come and receive it in person!" ”

Montenegro sighed and said, "The hearts of the people in Chu are not stable, and the safety of King Qin is a big matter. Under General Wang, the children of Guanzhong are the most reliable, and he hopes to dispatch 50,000 soldiers of Guanzhong to guard along Yingshou to Taocheng to ensure that the king is foolproof. ”

"Please rest assured that General Montenegro is missing a single hair on the king's hair, and he will be charged with the king's head!" Wang Ben agreed.

"Please General Wang go and prepare first!" Montenegro said.

"No!" Wang Ben bowed and left.

Montenegro immediately summoned the carpenter and Shi Fatzi in, and showed them the document. The two looked at it and said, "How to prepare, please give the general an order." ”

Montenegro said to Meng Tian and the others: "King Qin just entered Taocheng from Sanchuan last year, and this time Bacheng will secretly drive Che Jian from Nanjun to Yingshou by boat through Chen County. General Meng is asked to send a hundred warships to patrol the river day and night, whether it is right or wrong, you should not know. The carpenter led 20,000 mountain troops to secretly guard along both sides of the Yangtze River. Remember, keep it a secret and never let anyone else know about it. I can't let the king know that General Ben guessed his route, otherwise it will be unfavorable to me in the future! ”

"No!" Everyone answers, and each one prepares.

"Shi Fatzi, you personally take someone to carefully inspect the palace of King Chu, clean it up, and prepare to pick up the king. Remember, don't leak messages. Montenegro ordered.

"No! Please rest assured that the task will be completed! The dead fat man replied.

Montenegro guessed that with the character of King Qin, he would never waste time taking the route he had just completed his inspection last year. Ninety percent will secretly patrol the newly conquered places, and experience the speed of the waterwheel warship along the way. If he knew that this thought was also guessed by Montenegro, he would definitely be very uneasy. Montenegro doesn't imagine that Yang Xiu during the Three Kingdoms died in Cao Cao's suspicion.

Half a month later, 50,000 Chu people were conscripted into the barracks. Xiao He came to ask for instructions on what song to sing. Montenegro secretly thought that in this era, Qu Yuan's poetry was very popular in the Chu State, so popular that anyone would sing a few words. The 50,000 people were arranged outside the four city gates, and now they sing Chu songs, especially Qu Yuan's poems, at the same time.

"Wu Gexi was rhinoceros armor, and the car was wrong and short-handed.

The sun covers the enemy like a cloud, and the arrows and fallen soldiers compete for the first.

Ling Yu staggered for the rest of his life, and his left side was injured and his right blade was injured.

The haze is two rounds and four horses, and the jade is beating the drum.

The days are full of power and anger, and they are all killed and abandoned in the wilderness.

Can't get in and out, and the plains are far away.

With a long sword, he carried the Qin bow, and his head was not punished.

Cheng is both brave and martial, and he is strong and invincible.

The body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute. ”

Tens of thousands of choruses of this Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs, National Mourning" is so majestic. The singing is like the waves of the river, floating endlessly towards Yingshou City. The city of Yingshou immediately fell silent, pedestrians stopped, people who ate put down their chopsticks, and people who quarreled also stopped arguing, all quietly listening to this song that moved countless Chu people.

Xiang Yan, Xiong Qi and King Chu were deliberating, and when they heard the singing that floated into the palace, they all walked out of the palace gate involuntarily, thinking at first that Chu Jun was singing to boost morale. When the city gate officials came to report that the song came from the Qin army outside the city, Xiang Yan was startled and secretly screamed that it was not good. When the king of Chu heard this, his eyes darkened, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell straight to the ground......

King Qin is simple and obedient, dressed as an ordinary person. As soon as he got off the boat, he heard Chu Ge in the distance. In the harem of the Qin State, there are the most Chu women, and the King of Qin often hears Chu Ge, but it is the first time that so many people sing together. Curiously, he asked the soldiers on the shore: "Where did this song come from?" ”

The soldier replied, "This is what the Great Qin soldiers sang to the Chu army in the city." Listening to songs every day, there are countless Chu troops who fled from the city and surrendered! The general said that this strategy is called embattled. ”

The king of Qin was overjoyed, and immediately rode on a fast horse and rushed towards the shogunate of Montenegro.

Montenegro was discussing with the generals how to deal with the surrender of troops, and the military officials came to report: "General, the king of Qin is galloping towards the shogunate. ”

When Montenegro heard this, he was startled, this time King Qin came too quickly. Hurriedly said to everyone: "The generals will go out with me to greet and gather the generals."

As soon as everyone arrived at the Yuanmen and lined up, as the drums of the generals sounded, the singing had just stopped, and the king of Qin took Zhao Gao and Wang Li, followed by only dozens of escort horses. Everyone paid homage and shouted in unison: "Ten thousand years of King Qin!" Great Qin 10,000 years! ”

King Qin didn't wait for the horse to stop, he turned over and dismounted, and laughed: "Great Qin warriors, the widow sees you coming!" 10,000 years of the Qin army! ”

At this time, the king of Qin was dressed in white cotton clothes and tied with a silk scarf on his head. Tall and tall, just in the prime of life. Although ordinary people dress up, they have an extraordinary bearing. With a shout, all the soldiers were immediately full of morale and cheered in unison: "Great Qin Wannian, Qin King Wannian, Qin Army Wannian!" ”

The stars welcomed the King of Qin into the shogunate like the moon, and Zhao Gao whispered when Montenegro said: "The king has been tired all the way, and he hasn't had a hot meal for a few days!" ”

When Montenegro heard this, he hurriedly ordered the military commander Sima: "Hurry up and prepare a military banquet!" ”

"Don't be so troublesome, go to the gang's camp and get a few ordinary Shida's war meals, just hot them. The widow wants to see the food of the soldiers. King Qin said.

"No!" The officer replied and turned away. Zhao Gao immediately followed.

After a while, the battalion brought a war meal to everyone, a large bowl of vegetable rice for each person, sprinkled with some green onion oil, and a large bowl of corn stewed pork bone soup. It's steaming hot and bubbling with aroma. King Qin's appetite was great, and he slammed up, maybe he was really hungry! Like the wind and clouds, eat clean all at once. Exclaimed: "It's really enjoyable! ”

All the generals laughed, and immediately felt that King Qin was much more kind.

Montenegro reported to the King of Qin: "There is news from the Black Ice Platform that the King of Chu, Xiang Yan, and Xiong Qi are still in the city. Now Yingshou is surrounded by our army. Under the embattled offensive, thousands of people fled the city every day to surrender. The demise of the state of Chu is just around the corner. ”

King Qin took the tea handed by Zhao Gao, rinsed his mouth, and said: "In the past, Wang Benshui attacked and destroyed Wei, and now the Black Mountain Chu Ge is dead. The luck of Daqin is also the luck of the people of the world. Order the envoy to enter the city, as long as the king of Chu sacrifices Yingqi alone, the widow allows him to surrender and move to Xianyang, and the widow still treats him as a prince. Otherwise, on the day the city is broken, the jade will be burned! "When it comes to Ying Qi, King Qin gritted his teeth with hatred for this traitor.

During the Warring States Period, it was normal for the two armies to come and go. Montenegro immediately sent an envoy into the city to convey the meaning of the King of Qin.

The envoy entered the city, and saw that although there were few people on the street, it was orderly, and he secretly admired Xiang Yan's ability in his heart. In the palace, the envoy saw the King of Chu, Xiang Yan, and Yingqi, and immediately conveyed the meaning of the King of Qin to the King of Chu.

When the king of Chu heard this, he was furious and said: "Changping Jun is not only the grandson of King Zhaoxiang of Great Qin, the elder of King Qin, but also the eldest son of King Kaolie of Great Chu, and the uncle of this king, who has made great contributions to Qin Chu. The monarchs and ministers of the Chu State decided to live and die together with the Great Chu, and the three of our monarchs and ministers are here, so we want to be the first, and let the little cousin of Yingzheng come to get it. ”

Since the Empress Dowager Xuan, Qin and Chu have had frequent marriages. The royal families of the two countries have long become cousins. After the envoy came back, according to the facts, he thought that King Qin would be angry and rush to the crown, but he didn't expect that King Qin said: "Xiong Cheng has retribution and ambition, Xiong Qi and Xiang Yan have talent and experience. These three people are really the golden combination of the Chu State. If we don't get rid of them early, after ten or eight years, it will be a great disaster. Montenegro, ready to storm the city. The widow is not King Yan Zhao, and he doesn't have the patience to grind slowly! "A hundred years ago, Le Yi attacked Qi, and King Yan Zhao wanted to get the hearts of Qi people, leaving Jimo and Ju Ercheng for five years.

The King of Qin only gave Montenegro fifteen days.

The palace of the king of Chu outside the east gate, repaired magnificently, was built by the king of Chu Ai, just repaired, has not yet moved in, the king of mourning lost his life. After he took office, he was busy with government affairs all day and did not live for a day. Now it has become the palace of King Qin.

Montenegro specially arranged for the eldest son, Fusu, to be on duty in the palace. For a year, Fusu trained with the soldiers every day, became dark and strong, and became a lot taller, and passed the Rui Shi assessment. When Montenegro took Fusu to meet the King of Qin, the King of Qin was very happy to see that Fusu had completely changed, dressed as a soldier, without childishness, and a little more manly. patted Fusu on the shoulder and said kindly, "Okay! It's a cut taller, taller than my father. Black and strong, this is what the man of Great Qin, the eldest son of the widow should look like! ”

Seeing that the father and son of King Qin were reunited after a long absence, Montenegro said goodbye and returned to the shogunate, beating drums and raising the tent.

In a few moments, all the generals arrived. Montenegro said to everyone: "King Qin only gave me fifteen days to attack the city, and the time is pressing. Ben General ordered Yan Han to concentrate the three hundred stone-throwing carts outside the east gate. As many people as you can call, I'll just give you five days. ”

"No! The end will ensure that the task is completed on time! Yan Han responded.

"The rest of the generals immediately go back and prepare, refurbish the siege equipment, we have a tough battle to fight! When the time comes, whoever drags his feet will be engaged in military law! Montenegro ordered with a serious face.

"No!" Everyone answered in unison.

Five days later, 300 catapults formed a huge military formation, aligned with the east gate, which was very spectacular. Around the catapult, 5,000 crossbowmen, 10,000 heavy cavalry, and 20,000 heavy infantry were deployed to escort them.

When everything was ready, Montenegro immediately ordered: "All catapults, all aimed at the Qinglongmen (East Gate) for me to bombard day and night, and do not stop without an order." ”

Suddenly, the stones fell on the east gate like rain, and after a while, the watchtower on the door immediately fell to pieces. The stones continued to smash against the walls of the gates, and then slowly fell to the base of the walls.

The stones at the base of the wall were piled up higher and higher, and in less than a day, the stones at the base of the wall had been piled up two feet high. At this time, the fool also understood that the Qin army was going to pile up a slope with stones to the city wall. In this way, the infantry could storm the walls with a loose turn.

For four days and four nights, the stones not only filled the moat outside the east gate, but also built a section of the city more than ten zhang wide, reaching the large slope of the city wall. The generals were very excited and asked for orders to be the first to enter the city.

Montenegro looked at everyone, thought for a while, and ordered: "Li Yan, you take the lead in the city, and after attacking the city wall, follow the city wall to the south gate to attack." Shi Fatzi, with 20,000 heavy infantry, followed closely behind Li Yan and captured the east gate as soon as possible. Wang Ben led his headquarters to prepare outside the south gate, and when the south gate was in chaos, he immediately stormed the south gate, and the army entered the city from the south gate. After entering the city, first occupy the various gates. The others, but the sound of killing in the city before the meeting, immediately attacked the city. Capture the various city gates, and then pursue and kill the Chu army in the city. No attack on the royal palace was to be made without an order. ”

"No!" The generals replied loudly.

"Before entering the city, it is necessary to emphasize that every soldier must abide by the three disciplines and eight points of attention. It is absolutely forbidden to kill the Chu army who laid down their arms. ”
