23, the widow wants to go and see the king of the winning horse
December of the first year of Chu Wanghuai.
Most of the cold winter has passed, and the snowflakes in the sky have already turned into rain, falling on the head of Xiyang City drop by drop, clattering.
Knock Knock - The drums of war are beaten, and the raindrops attached to the drums are shaken away.
"The enemy is coming, all the armies are fighting!" A soldier was now above the city and shouted at the Wei army below.
Bang - The Wei army rushed to the head of the city with neat steps, forming three columns of military formations above the head of the city.
Outside the city, black-armored soldiers rushed over like a tide, holding shields to block themselves, and approached the city step by step.
"Archer!" When the Chu army was fifty paces away from the city (about 65 meters), a Wei military captain brandished his sword and pointed diagonally ahead, shouting, "Arrows!" ”
Countless bows and arrows flew out in the direction pointed by his sword and fell into the army formation of the Chu army.
Dada-
Another round of arrows came over, this time the Chu army had reached a distance of forty paces, the density of the arrows gradually increased, the power gradually became stronger, and some of the Chu troops who were not covered by the shield were shot to the ground by this arrow, but at this time, no one thought about saving him, because once he bent down to help him up, he would be shot to the ground by the arrows behind, and these people were originally feudal troops who were beaten up from side to side, without the kind of friendship of the regular army, naturally they would not care about your life and death, and stepped directly on you.
The closer they got to the city wall, the more and more the Chu army fell, and the Wei army shot more and more bows and arrows, and the power became more and greater.
"Kill!" A Chu military captain shouted, and the soldiers behind him put one end of the cloud ladder on his shoulders against the corner of the city, and then pushed the back end hard, and pulled back against the end of the corner, and a cloud ladder was firmly built on the city wall.
After the ladder was erected, the soldiers of the Chu army climbed up step by step along the ladder, while the soldiers below held shields to cover the siege vehicles that were still on the road.
On the top of the city, the Wei army picked up the stones piled next to it, lifted them high and smashed them down, and the Chu army, which was still climbing, was smashed down, spitting blood from his mouth, and fell heavily on the shield.
The battle situation was so deadlocked, and some of the Chu troops who rushed forward were served by the Wei army with long and short ges, and they were poked into holes.
But I have to say that the Fengjun army still has a certain combat effectiveness, and has gained a firm foothold on the city many times, and has also forced back the Wei army that came to support, of course, because there is no support behind, they were all killed.
Looking at the Chu army, who had been unable to open the situation for a long time, Xiang Jun couldn't help sighing, and said: "It seems that the king said that it will not be possible to complete the lost land within two months, Xiyang is such a small city, it has been guarded for six days, after Xiyang, there are Fanyang, Xia Cai, Shang Cai, not to mention a big city like Chen Cheng." Alas, I am ashamed of the king. ”
Wan Chengjun next to him said with a smile: "Xiang Jun doesn't have to blame himself, now that the morale of our army is low, it is normal that I can't take Xiyang, if I take Xiyang, the morale of our army will be greatly boosted, and it will be much easier after that." ”
Xiang Jun nodded and said, "I hope so." ”
Chen Cheng.
Gongsun Yan was closing his eyes in the county guard's mansion.
Now that the situation is too chaotic, the state of Chu unexpectedly pacified Jing Shao, causing Gongsun Yan's strategy of destroying Chu and then destroying Jing to the end of his strategy. Now the state of Chu has mobilized a heavy army to attack the territory occupied by the state of Wei.
The national strength of Wei was already inferior to that of Chu, and now there are so many more territories to defend, and the troops are stretched.
Zhao State and Qi State did not withdraw troops from Wangcheng for a long time, and Qin State also transferred troops into Hexi, so Wei State could not transfer troops back to defend and capture the territory of Chu State.
Now the 150,000 troops of Chu are approaching step by step, and there are still 70,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Guangling in the south, ready to rush up and bite Wei at any time. And in his hands, there are only 90,000 soldiers.
Now he can only hope that the peace negotiations on the Qin side will succeed as soon as possible, and then transfer the 80,000 Wei troops from Hedong back.
Of course, he knows that this is not an overnight thing, he has served as a great good man in the Qin State, and he also knows the character of Ying Si, he is cunning, and he will never easily agree to the Wei State if he has no interests.
Now Wei has nothing to give to Qin, and the only thing that can be given to Qin is to promise to give him territory after defeating Chu.
But now there has been no result, what the hell are they arguing about? Gongsun Yan couldn't help but be a little curious.
"General, my king's envoy is here." A soldier walked in softly and said.
Gongsun Yan jumped out of his contemplation and motioned for the messenger to come in.
When the messenger came in, he took out a bamboo slip from his bosom and said, "General, the king's secret letter, please take a look." ”
Gongsun Yan took the bamboo slip, unfolded it, and held a silk silk between the development concepts, unfolded it, and read it carefully.
"What?" Gongsun Yan was shocked, looked at the envoy, and said, "Qin Jun wants to be king?" This, this, is clearly bullying me Wei Guowu without soldiers! What does the king think? would actually agree to Qin Jun's ridiculous request! Why don't you advise the king? ”
The envoy said with an innocent face: "This, the minister doesn't know, the minister is a messenger, this matter." The minister has no right to speak. ”
Gongsun Yan sighed and said: "If the prime minister of Qin succeeds, then the dominant role of the king to destroy Chu will be the Qin state, and my Wei country will lose its dominant position, and when the time comes, the princes will inevitably listen to the words of the Qin state, and my Wei country will also have to listen to the Qin state!" Win and be cunning! ”
The messenger arched his hand and said, "General, the king said, you just need to guard this place, and I will tell the king what you say." ”
Gongsun Yan nodded, his eyes full of confusion.

Yingdu.
Zhang Yi walked into the palace with a secret letter, and entered Xionghuai's side hall under the leadership of the chamberlain.
"Great thing, big thing!" Zhang Yi took the secret letter and said.
"Oh?" Xiong Huai was suddenly curious and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhang Yi sent the secret letter to the inner servant, and the inner servant handed it to Xiong Huai, Zhang Yi said: "Qin Jun wins the throne and wants to be the king!" ”
"What?" Xiong Huai was shocked.
Sure enough, in this time and space, many things have been rewritten. Historically, the reign of King Longmen was in 324 BC, and now it happened in 328.
"I wonder what the king has planned?" Zhang Yi asked with a smile.
Xiong Huai saw his smile and knew that he had a ghost idea again.
"I'm afraid you already have an idea, and ask the widow, let's talk about it, what do you think." Xiong Huai squinted his eyes and said.
Zhang Yi arched his hand and said: "King Qin Guoxiang, the king can also go and have a look, on behalf of Da Chu, go and have a look." ”
"Oh? Hahahaha. Xiong Huai and Zhang Yi laughed tacitly.
"Good!" Xiong Huai stood up and said, "When we find out where the Prime Minister is, the widow will personally lead the troops to cheer for the Qin State!" ”
"Hahahaha!"
