Not long after, the Wuling County Commander ran in, and then pleaded guilty to Song Mochang:

"General, yesterday Du Wei just led the army to leave, but the Chu army and the water division then killed, and then the people in the city took the opportunity to rebel. If you are incompetent and ineffective in defending the city, please punish the general. ”

The two of them shook their heads when they heard this.

Now only Shangyong County is still in the hands of Qin State.

Then, Song Mo asked Zhao Ping with a heavy face: "General Zhao, I don't know if there is any news from General Gongsun's side." ”

Zhao Ping responded: "Back to the general, yesterday a spy came back from Xunyi, and General Gongsun was still besieging Xunyi. ”

Song Mo suddenly frowned.

Gongsun Hao was blocked from Xunyi, and he only had more than 16,000 troops in Shangyong.

In the case that the people in the city cannot be trusted, it is somewhat difficult for this little force to hold the mediocrity.

If Gongsun Hao is delayed, or the Chu people in the city rebel again, then the Qin people in Shangyong, including him, the county guard, I am afraid that they will be in trouble.

Thinking about it, Song Mo not only asked Zhao Ping with some hesitation: "General Zhao, I don't know if in your opinion, General Gongsun will be able to conquer Xunyi." ”

Zhao Ping pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "General, according to the following, it may be difficult for General Gongsun to conquer Xunyi in a short period of time. After all, after the Chu people in Hanzhong rebelled, they gathered all the Ding Zhuang of Hanzhong County in Xunyi. Although there are not many elite soldiers in Xunyi, there are many strong soldiers in the city.

Moreover, as the seat of Hanzhong, Xunyi has a tall city wall, and there is Han water as a support on one side, and General Gongsun can only attack the city from two sides, which is really difficult. ”

After a pause, Zhao Ping saw Song Mo's heavy face, and then spoke: "General, what I am more worried about is that if the people of Xunyi hear that the Chu army has recovered Shangyong, then Xunyi's morale will definitely be greatly boosted. In this way, the chances of conquering Xunyi are even more slim. ”

Song Mo nodded, and then asked, "General Zhao, I wonder if we still need to stick to the mediocre right now?" ”

"This..." Zhao Ping suddenly fell silent.

Seeing this, Song Mo suddenly let out a long sigh.

He knew why Zhao Ping was suddenly silent, because Zhao Ping couldn't answer this question.

Now there are still a large number of Qin troops in Shangyong City, and it can be said that the main force still exists.

If this is the case, he will withdraw from the mediocrity.

What did this make King Qin, who was far away in Xianyang, think.

Did he, the Shangyong county guard, retreat in desperation, or did he flee in fear when he saw the Chu army coming?

It must be known that not counting the escape road in these two days, the entire battle of Shangyong has only been fought for four days.

After four days of fighting, the Qin army lost 3,000, no, counting the routs in various counties who were still fleeing in the local area, maybe the casualties were less than 3,000. Moreover, when Gongsun Hao was still storming Xunyi, he, the county guard, fled with the main force of Shangyong.

This...

This is not only that he is incompetent, but also that he is as timid as a mouse.

The king of Qin will definitely exterminate him.

Thinking about it, Song Mo's expression was straight, and he said loudly: "The king has entrusted the mediocrity to me, and it is my duty to defend the land, and I will repay the country with death."

Immediately sent someone to summon General Gongsun, saying that Ben would drag Zhaoju in Shangyong City, and let General Gongsun conquer Xunyi as soon as possible to help.

In addition, the order was sent down and told to the soldiers that Ben was going to stick to the mediocrity. Also, General Gongsun is about to conquer Xunyi to come to the aid and defend Shangyong City.

Moreover, as long as General Sima quelled the rebellion of Bashu and then returned with the army, at that time, it would be the time when our Qin State and Chu State would have a decisive battle in Shangyong. ”

When Zhao Ping heard this, he replied: "The general is wise!" ”

Next.

Zhaoju led the army to Shangyong, and then the army set up camp outside the city

On the same day, the Chu army of Wuling County, Changli, Yun County, and Zhaoju joined forces.

In the big tent of the Chu army, all the generals gathered.

Zhao Ju took the lead in asking Huang Ke to Shangyong Thorn Shi: "Huang Thorn Shi, what is the situation in Shangyong City now, do you have any news?" ”

Huang Ke immediately replied: "Back to the general's words, since the failure of the Chu people in the city three days ago, the strength of my Chu people in the city has been greatly reduced, and there is no possibility of another incident now.

However, according to the spies, the Qin people in the city also did not dare to believe the Chu people, so now the Qin people guard Shangyong, and only more than 16,000 Qin troops of the Qin State defend, and there are no people to assist in the defense. ”

"There is no common people to help defend it!?" Zhao Ju was slightly stunned, shook his head and smiled: "I don't know if this is good news or bad news!" ”

As he spoke, Zhao Ju instructed: "Huang Thorn History, next there is Lao Thorn Shi to continue to contact the Chu people in the city, so that they can prepare for the incident again." This time, with a large army coming to the aid of the outside world, it is not difficult to overcome Shangyong. ”

"No."

Then, Zhao Ju looked at Pan Xian and asked with a smile: "General Pan, I don't know how the sailor is now, whether all the sailor's warships have been brought." ”

Pan Xian immediately replied: "General Hui, in order to deter the Qin people and prevent the Qin people from withdrawing from the Han River, the last general brought all the warships of the naval division. Among them, there are 13 large ships, 36 small boats, and nearly 1,000 civilian ships. ”

"Okay." Zhao Ju was overjoyed and said: "General Youlao has led the army to patrol the Han River in the past few days, and by the way, I told all the Chu people along the coast that our Chu State has recovered Shangyong." ”

"No."

Then, Zhao Ju looked at Shangyong City outside the tent, and said with a slight smile: "Since the Qin people are unwilling to retreat from Shangyong, then there is no need to go anymore, and all of them will be prisoners of the general!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled out his sword violently, and then pointed at Shangyong City, and ordered loudly: "Pass my general order, from now on, the army is ready to besiege Shangyong." ”

"No."

As soon as the military order was given, the Chu army immediately dispatched.

After leaving the camp, the Chu army was immediately divided into four, and a Chu army surrounded the east gate, digging ravines and walls while on guard. The same is true of both the north and the south. The remaining Chu army went not far away and began to cut down wood to build siege equipment.

At the same time, the sound of killing in the Chu camp shook the sky, as if it was training the army.

In the middle of the city.

Song Mo and Zhao Ping stood on the city wall, looking at the lively Chu people outside, their faces were both happy and sad.

The good thing is that looking at the posture of the Chu people outside, it is exactly the appearance of attacking Shangyong, so that they can be regarded as dragging the Chu people in Shangyong, and providing enough time for Gongsun Hao to conquer Xunyi, but for Sima Coo to recover Bashu.

However, at this moment, they couldn't be happy when they looked at the movements of the Chu people outside the city.

Digging ditches and building walls, this is exactly to wipe out the mediocrity!

When the ditch wall of the Chu people surrounded Shangyong City, at that time, the Qin people in the city could not fly.

It's just that although Song Mo knew that the behavior of the Chu people was very unfavorable to them, they had no choice, let alone going out of the city to destroy, in this case, they didn't dare to go out!

Moreover, according to the news from the spies, Zhao Ju is still training soldiers in the camp.

When the ditch wall outside the city is built, at that time, I am afraid that the strong men recruited by Zhaoju from the counties of Shangyong have also become an elite army.

At that time, the situation of the Qin people was even more difficult.
