Changchuan county seat, four miles long from east to west, only three miles long from north to south, was originally the camp built by the army of Qin when Mu Gong cut down Shu, and later the people gathered here, built from generation to generation.

There are only two small city gates facing Chushui in the south and the north facing the county seat, and the east and west sides are densely forested mountains. On weekdays, the people in the city would cultivate around the city, hunt or hunt fish on the Chu water for a living, and the business travelers would pass through Changchuan County and enter Chencang to the north, or enter Dongcang to the east, and enter Yuxian County to the west to make a living.

Now the defenders of the city, who were already preparing to live and die with the city, ordered the southern gate to be blocked with huge stones. If the city is broken, it is prepared to burn the city and destroy the enemy army that invades, and at the same time delay the enemy army outside the city to pass through the county town of Changchuan and easily attack other neighboring counties.

On weekdays, the enemy army outside the city will also adopt the strategy of encircling three and missing one, and divide the troops to start attacking Changchuan County.

At this time, the enemy troops who came to sneak attack did not care about the strategy in the art of war at all, nor were they afraid of the fierce resistance shown by the trapped beasts of the defenders in the city, and directly pressed the whole army, ready to tear apart all the resisting forces in the city.

"Kill...", "Rush", the army of slaves below the city wall gradually established their side on the city wall, and they began to climb up the ladder even more eagerly. After all, there were only about 4,000 people still alive in the city, far less than the nearly 23,000 people outside the city.

Every second before attacking the county seat of Changchuan means that you can behead more defenders in exchange for rewards. Suddenly, the battle between the two sides on the city wall became more intense, and the sounds of fighting and screams were endless.

Qing, who had already led the army to the city, was silently watching the battle on the city wall under the city at this time, and had no intention of leading the army to attack the city at all.

After all, he was a mercenary, not a slave in the hands of greedy slave traders. He doesn't need to do this kind of terrazzo brick work, and he doesn't bother to do it, after all, there are so many slaves who are easy to use, and if they don't use it much, it's simply a tyrannical thing.

After the defenders in the city were wiped out, he was ready to lead the army to strike a decisive blow and completely end the fate of the defenders in Changchuan County.

This kind of work to give the final blow to the desperate enemy army, Qing is the favorite thing to do. Looking at the more desperate expression in the eyes of the people in deep despair, Qing trembled with excitement, and this feeling of watching others want to die made Qing feel that he was the king of this world.

When he heard the sound of fighting on the city wall gradually decreasing, Qing knew that the stubborn Qin army was already at the end of its strong crossbow, and now it was time for him to appear, especially thinking of the big carnival after attacking the city, Qing accelerated his pace.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother...", Qing, who was about to lead the army to attack the city, heard the shouts at this time, so he turned his head to look. I saw Chang Zheng, who was dressed in military uniform, leading the follow-up troops to arrive.

"Big Brother ,..." looked defensive, opened his eyes wide, and after finding that the person in front of him was his eldest brother, he put away the long sword in his hand, and said with a surprised face: "Big brother, why are you here?" ”

You must know that this attack was led by Qinghe's second brother to lead the slave army to take advantage of the night to carry out a sneak attack on the defenders of Changchuan County.

Looking at the sound of fighting on the city, and ignoring Qing's surprised look at this time, Chang looked straight at him and said with a serious face: "Fourth brother, why haven't you won it yet?" ”。

"No, big brother. I didn't have this time...", looking at the reproachful look in his eldest brother's eyes, Qing hurriedly waved his hand to defend himself.

It's no wonder that Chang guessed out of thin air and misunderstood Qing, when he was critical of his usual tasks, he was hairy and liked to make some small moves and cause some unnecessary trouble.

For example, the order is to assassinate a wealthy local businessman, unlike others who directly collect the target's head in order to complete the mission.

Qing usually tortures a wealthy merchant before his final death, such as killing his young son in front of his target, or insulting someone's wife and daughter, and then tortures the target of the mission.

Chang's eldest brother, who is the fourth brother, blamed Qing more than once for such a thing.

Because mercenaries still have basic rules, they never easily abuse and kill women and children, which is the consensus of everyone, after all, no one knows whether they will fall to this day. However, Qing has repeatedly banned such things, and the four brothers have been retaliated against many times.

Seeing that the eldest brother in front of him did not speak, the atmosphere around him gradually became solemn, and he explained loudly with a red face and a thick neck: "Big brother, it's all that dog official, and the trench under the city wall is actually filled with water. Before we had climbed the walls, the sound of the splashing water woke up the defenders of the city."

Looking at Qing, whose neck was straightened, Chang noticed that the sneak attack troops fell into the trench, and then splashed with a dense sound of water, so he said with an embarrassed face: "Fourth brother, it's the eldest brother who misunderstood you... Big brother, I'm sorry for you".

Looking at the ashamed eldest brother Chang in front of him, Qing suddenly hated the defenders in the city to the extreme.

It's all to blame on the damned defenders, who didn't take the initiative to come to be killed, and made some crooked ways, almost hurting the friendship between their brothers, so they said with an indignant face: "Big brother, it's my brother's fault that I failed to take this city on time. Brother, I will go in person, personally behead the dog officials in the city, and make amends for the eldest brother."

Qing then drew his long sword, pointed at the city wall that was fighting fiercely, and shouted to the people around him: "You follow me to the city to kill the enemy, glory and wealth, all in the city." Rush...", and began to climb the ladder, preparing to enter the city, and slaughter on a large scale to vent the anger he had just suffered.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother...", watching the fast climb to the cloud ladder and prepare to kill the guards in the city to prove his Qing, Chang hurriedly shouted.

Although the Qing martial arts are superb and very brave, the attack of the two armies is no better than that of two people fighting alone, and the role of individual martial arts in front of the soldiers is very small.

This is also the reason why the rangers who usually speak equally well in the countryside can't beat the same number of soldiers, after all, this is not a mythical world where Kyushu is destroyed with one sword.

"General, the green leader is highly skilled in martial arts, and the defenders in the city are almost wiped out, there must be no danger", one of the guards beside Chang whispered relief.

Of course, Chang knew that Qing's strength was superb, and he didn't worry about the defenders in the city at all. What he was worried about was that he had misunderstood Qing just now, causing Qing to attack angrily, fearing that it would hurt the friendship between his brothers.

When the city is broken, let Qing wantonly plunder in the city, Chang thought to himself. As for the people in the city, Chang never considered that the weak only obeyed the strong, so that the strong could be happy, wasn't this the last value of those humble civilians?

However, strength and weakness are always relative, there is no eternal weakness, and there is no invincible strength. The man who is rich in money is the most rigid in the world; The water is the softest in the world. Although the gold is rigid, it cannot be continued; Although the water is soft, it cannot be cut off; Then the water is soft and can become strong, and King Kong will not give up its weakness.

Before Chang could continue to think about it, after preparing for this matter, and telling his brother everything about it, there was a dull thunder between heaven and earth.

The sound of war drums rang out in the silent wilderness.

"Where did the drums come from...", Chang shouted loudly, and then his face changed drastically.

"Wind, wind, wind", the sound of the Qin army's horn that resounded through the heavens and the earth, exploded in the sky in the distant plains, followed by the shouts of "Drive, drive...", the shouts of the chariot at the gallop came, making everyone present feel a sense of fear born from their hearts.

Dozens of heavily armed chariots, together with cavalry all over the mountains, and the battle flags of the Qin army with white characters on a black background, hurried from the side of the county seat.

"Qin reinforcements are coming, hurry up and set up camp to prepare...", Chang looked at the Qin army galloping with the wind, knowing that it was useless for him to escape now, and it would cause the collapse of his own side, so he roared loudly.

It is hoped that the slave army that is preparing to attack Changchuan County will quickly take up the defense and block the incoming Qin army, and then let the army that has not yet attacked the city wall quickly withdraw to the camp by the river to defend.

After all, in the endless flatland, the mobility of cavalry and chariots would be completely liberated, which was no less than a massacre for a slave soldier who was not equipped with any large weapons, only armed with a short sword, a long ge.

But the ragged slave soldiers, armed with improvised weapons, saw such battles. Before he could begin to form a formation with the surrounding soldiers to resist, the chariot that arrived at high speed knocked the slave soldier who had just dreamed of wealth into the air and threw him far away.

"Ahh Yes.... Ah", the crossbowmen and long-goers on the chariot were wantonly slashing, and the slave soldiers began to flee in panic all around. Not to mention the fact that the cavalry of the Qin army, equipped with bilateral stirrups, was interspersed back and forth, killing the fleeing enemies nearby, and suddenly the screams and shouts resounded throughout the field, filling the smell of blood.

"Help, I don't want to die...", looking at those slaves fleeing in all directions, Chang was also very panicked in his heart.

Originally, it was hoped that these slaves would be able to resist a little, and they would be able to withdraw to the barracks safely to buy time for themselves to redeploy their formations to counterattack the Qin army.

But now seeing the Qin army on the side rushing into his own military formation, it was as simple as a sharp knife inserting a piece of tofu, and the troops he came into contact with were all routed and killed in all directions, not only did not stop the Qin army's attack, but scattered other troops.

Chang immediately drove into the barracks, wanting to use the strong walled wall by the river to delay the attack of the Qin army's mobile troops, as for the large armies around, Chang only hoped that they could use their heads to chase and kill the Qin army's attention in all directions.

After all, the Qin army that came from Chen Cang was only more than 8,000 people, but he had tens of thousands of troops, as long as he could return to the camp, he would have the opportunity to counterattack, and he would be able to turn defeat into victory, and no matter how bad it was, he could stick to the camp for a while, so that his side could cross Chu Shui safely.

"Hurry up, hurry up...", Chang vigorously whipped the war horse under his crotch, and desperately rushed to the direction of the camp. Bang, bang, bang", several explosions sounded in the camp in front of him, only to see countless rockets being shot into the village from outside the village, and suddenly the camp in front of him was suddenly on fire, shouting, and screaming came with the wind instantly.

"Suffered.... The camp has been attacked", Chang was still worried about the Qin State foot soldiers in his heart just now, but he didn't expect to appear here at this time. But how did they bypass the county town of Changchuan behind them to attack their camp? Chang, who was still puzzled, saw that he was going down the bamboo raft along Chu Shui, and he completely woke up.

It was over, his side was completely surrounded, and Chang suddenly fell into the ice cave.

"Kill, kill...", soon reached the shore and the screams of the Qin army on the shore sounded, and the Qin army began to attack in formation.

"What to do? What to do...", Chang suddenly became anxious.

There was a sound of "Big Brother...", and I saw Zai's face covered with dirt, leading the remnants of the army to move closer to Chang's side.

Seeing Zai, Chang felt a little relieved, so he hurriedly asked, "Third brother, what should we do now?" The second and fourth brothers are now gone."

Zai looked at the Qin army that began to surround him, and sighed in his heart, his previous fear was indeed not wrong. He immediately said: "Big brother, the Qin army came by raft across the water, and it must be to save the people of Changchuan, and then to exterminate our army."

Now that our army has lost its heart, we can only accumulate the strength in our hands, snatch a few rafts, and hurry across the water, so as not to be surrounded by the Qin army in front and behind."

Chang sighed when he heard it, there was no way.
