Chapter 54: Accidentally saved a Western Chu Overlord
For the new round of fighting in Shouchun, Li Xin led tens of thousands of troops to go around outside Shouchun City every day, that is, from time to time pretending to attack, put a few arrows and then retreated. The king of Chu didn't know how to deal with Li Xin, and scolded Li Xin's family in his heart.
Li Tangshan took advantage of Li Xin's atmosphere of panic and sent Wu Rui to bring a few people into Shouchun. Li Xin's continuous actions made the soldiers and civilians in Shouchun City nervous for a while, and a new rumor also spread in Shouchun, at first Li Xin wanted to destroy Shouchun within a month. When it was passed on, it changed, saying that the king of Chu had a loss of virtue and virtue, and the heavenly gods wanted to destroy the Chu country.
Li Tangshan and Shi Lu were not idle, and they took advantage of this tense atmosphere to dig tunnels from outside the city to Shouchun City.
The ability of these waste materials to do bad things is really invincible in the world, and many tunnels can quickly reach the city.
A conspiracy of heaven and earth is converging on Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, from all sides.
General Wang Jian sent water to bring in the water of the Yellow River from the upper reaches of the Yingshui River, and according to Li Xin's method of playing, the water of the Yellow River was introduced into Shouchun City.
Li Tangshan met with Wu Rui in the city here, put a small strip of cloth on the city wall in the northwest corner, and pressed it with city bricks, and sent a signal to Li Xin outside the city!
Li Xin saw the small strip of cloth on the corner of the city and knew that Li Tangshan and they had mixed into Shouchun City. The rest is to see Li Xin's performance, Li Xin has been fouled after the defeat in the past few years, Li Xin's pressure has reached the peak, and today it is all released, just a large balloon full of air, one was punctured, and a huge burst of energy in an instant.
Li Xin launched a general attack, and there was chaos in Shouchun City. The screams, cries, and fiery sounds were intertwined, and Li Tangshan experienced for the first time how bloody and cruel ancient warfare was.
The king of Chu was making his last resistance, and he did not expect that the great flood that would destroy him was already halfway there.
Li Xin stood in the high chariot and waved the sword in his hand to point to the southeast Shounan City.
"Crossbowmen Ready"
"Ready..... Put"
Crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm shot into Shouchun City from all directions, and war horses and soldiers were nailed to the place like kebabs. Some of the crossbow arrows were fired at the walls with a loud buzzing sound. made Li Tangshan feel a burst of tinnitus and a tingling of his scalp.
Li Tangshan came down like this, and the people in the city turned the huge attack power of the Qin army into a pile of meat paste.
Li Tangshan thought to himself: "I can't let all the people be buried with me, I have to find a way to let the people escape from the city as much as possible." When the flood came, it was too late to say anything. ”
Li Tangshan found Wu Rui and Shi Lu and told him: "The ten of us are going to start creating further panic in Shouchun, encouraging the people to open the city gate and run for their lives!" In this way, there will be more chaos in the city, and Li Xin's chances of winning will be higher! “
After Wu Rui and Shi Lu got the order, they continued to spread rumors on the street: "The king of Chu is immoral, and God borrowed the flood to drown Shouchun, and everyone fled to the southeast gate." ”
Li Xin's attack in the northwest city was too fierce, and after the common people listened to the rumors, they rushed to the southeast city gate on their own. The officers and soldiers guarding the gate could not stop the common people at all, and the common people pushed open the city gate, let go of the drawbridge and fled in all directions.
Shouchun was even more chaotic than before, many soldiers lost their morale, and many of them fled for their lives among the common people.
At this time, General Wang Jian diverted water and flooded into Shouchun City, and the city was full of oceans.
Standing on the city wall, Li Tangshan looked at the bleak situation of Shouchun in front of him, as if it was a purgatory on earth.
Wu Rui shouted: "There is a child in the flood. ”
Li Tangshan fixed his eyes and saw that he was a child about 10 years old. "Quickly find a way to save him, war is an adult's business, and it has nothing to do with children." Throw him a piece of wood. ”
Shi Lu picked up a piece of wood, tied a rope to the end of the wood, and threw it at the child. The child saw a piece of wood being thrown at him, and his survival instinct swam desperately to grab it. Li Tangshan and Shi Lu desperately pulled the rope and were rescued because of the cold weather, the child soaked in ice water for too long, and his teeth were rattled by the cold. Li Tangshan immediately took off his clothes and put them on the child.
Li Tangshan asked Wu Rui to bring a little food for the children to eat. Wu Rui felt that Li Tangshan was too benevolent, and he was very unhappy.
Li Tangshan was a little angry, and Wu Rui reluctantly took out a cake and handed it to Li Tangshan.
The city has been surrounded for so long, and there is nothing to eat. The child took the cake from Li Tangshan and ate it in a big gulp, Li Tangshan thought of Zhao Tuo when he saw this child, and he didn't know how that kid was doing now?
Li Tangshan squatted down and gently patted the child's back and said, "Don't worry, eat slowly!" Not enough yet. ”
The little kid nodded, he hadn't eaten such delicious food in a long time.
Li Tangshan was afraid that the child would choke, so he asked Shi Lu to bring a bowl of water. Li Tangshan handed the water to the child, and the child took two sips: "Thank you!" ”
Li Tangshan smiled and said, "You're welcome! What is your name? What about your loved ones? How did you fall into the flood? ”
Seeing that Li Tangshan had no malicious intent, the child also let go of his vigilance and said, "My name is Xiang Yu, and I didn't have time to escape from the city with my uncle." I accidentally fell into the water myself, and my uncle should be looking around. ”
Li Tangshan was very frightened and said: "You are Xiang Yu, and your uncle is Xiang Liang." ”
Li Tangshan was kind enough to save a gravedigger of the Great Qin Empire for a while, and Li Tangshan was speechless in his heart.
Xiao Xiang Yu saw Li Tangshan strangely: "Benefactor, know my uncle!" ”
Li Tangshan shook his head: "I don't know!" But I know you'll be very productive in the future. ”
Li Tangshan turned his head to Wu Rui and Shi Lu and said, "This little kid is the grandson of General Xiang Yan. ”
Wu Rui listened: "What! No way! I'm going to kill him so that he doesn't leave a scourge!" He turned around and drew his sword and walked towards Xiao Xiang Yu.
When Li Tangshan heard that Wu Rui was going to kill Xiang Yu, he thought: "It's a bad thing, it's not because I changed the course of history." Li Tangshan hurriedly went to grab Wu Rui, but unfortunately Wu Rui moved too fast, Li Tangshan didn't react, the big knife had already slashed at Xiang Yu, and Wu Rui was pulled hard by Li Tangshan. On the side of Wu Rui's body, the blade still injured Xiang Yu's arm, and the blood flowed.
Li Tangshan hurriedly went up to help Xiang Yu stop the bleeding, Xiang Yu was in pain, his eyes were staring at Wu Rui, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
When Wu Rui saw Xiang Yu's eyes, she became even more angry! picked up the war knife and continued to slash at Xiang Yu.
Li Tangshan hurriedly got up and pulled Wu Rui: "Wu Rui, how can you attack an unarmed child?" ”
Wu Rui scolded: "Li Tangshan, you dodge!" This kid can't stay! You'll regret it later. ”
Li Tangshan saw Wu Rui's resolute expression and knew that he had no way to stop Wu Rui. Hugging Wu Rui, he turned to Xiang Yu and said, "Why don't you leave quickly, do you stay here and wait for death?" ”
Xiang Yu knew that Li Tangshan wanted to save him, but the others wanted him to die. Stood up and covered his wounds, and ran desperately into the distance. Wu Rui scolded: "Li Tangshan, this bastard! Do you know what you're doing? Shi Lu, you hurry up and kill that scourge. ”
Li Tangshan scolded: "Shi Lu, you can't kill him!" Otherwise, you won't even have to do it! ”
Li Tangshan saw that Xiang Yu had run away and couldn't see his shadow, so he was relieved to let Wu Rui go.
Wu Rui looked at Li Tangshan very angrily: "Li Tangshan, do you know what you are doing?" Your kindness will bring you a lot of trouble in the future! ”
Li Tangshan smiled at Wu Rui: "Wu Rui, thank you for your success!" I can't do big things in my life! You can become a hegemon in the future, in the face of children, I can't do it, I can't pass the level in my heart. ”
Wu Rui glared at Li Tangshan, he didn't know what to say about Li Tangshan, he felt it himself!
Li Tangshan knew that Wu Rui had forgiven himself, so he patted Wu Huang on the shoulder and said, "Wu Rui, thank you!" You are my good brother! If I face a strong enemy, I will be unkind. But this kid, you really can't kill, he will become your powerful enemy, but you are the key to the hegemony. ”
Wu Rui was angry: "Li Tangshan, you have to invite you to eat roast chicken and grilled fish." Otherwise I wouldn't have let you go. ”
