At this time.

The Qin army was approaching the city and was rapidly besieging the state capital.

Zhao Xing returned to the city, stayed in the corridor, and watched the smoke and dust raised from the north, and the beads of sweat on his forehead and sideburns became thicker and denser.

It was expected that the Qin army would win the city, and he could neither flee with his family nor lead his army to meet the enemy head-on.

Zhao Xing felt like a turtle in an urn, falling into a deep urn, calling the heavens and the earth not spiritual.

He was afraid!

Afraid that Gongsun Ang would lead the army to pursue.

Not daring to take his family to escape, worried that he would go all the way to the west, Gongsun Ang learned that he had fled west, and led the strong tiger division to chase and kill along the way.

Reduced to Gongsun Ang's captive, he will die without a place to bury.

Moreover, when he was in the north, he had encountered the Qin army and knew how powerful the Qin army was.

There is no way to retreat, there is no way to avoid it!

Zhao Xing was in the corridor, planning to temporarily deploy defenses and lead the army against the Qin army.

He would rather die in battle than be a prisoner of the Qin army, humiliated by him, and died a miserable death.

However, when Zhao Xing led his family out of the city, the generals in the city were leaderless, and the defenders at the head of the city were half-hearted, and many people only cared about fleeing for their lives, but did not dare to stay at the head of the city to resist the menacing Qin army.

Therefore, the number of defenders at the head of the city was scarce, the city defense was lax, and there were few longbows, arrows, shields, long swords, rolling stones, and boiling water needed for battle.

Zhao Xing walked over, and the defenders barely showed respect and fighting spirit, but everyone's faces showed panic.

The enemy is outnumbered, and the enemy is strong and I am weak.

Zhao Xing wanted to abandon the city and flee, and fled with his family.

The Jingxiang army defending the city was not stupid and did not want to fight for Zhao Xing.

Now that Zhao Xing went and returned, the defenders were surprised, but still doubted Zhao Xing's intentions.

Zhao Xing stood tall in the city tower, wearing civilian clothes and a sword at his waist, not like a general who was about to fight, but more like a Confucian who climbed the tower to compose lyrics and poems.

Seeing the billowing dust, the Qin army shuttled like a pack of wolves, quickly assembled outside the West Gate, and the number of combat forces exceeded the defenders in the city by several times.

Zhao Xing panicked and was uneasy.

The Qin army's intention was self-evident, and it forcibly attacked the city, and the slack city defense could not resist for long.

Call!

Zhao Xing pressed his fingers on the hilt of the sword, his sweaty cheeks were mixed with a little fear, and he said to the forbidden army in a low voice: "General Chuan Wang, quickly summon other generals in the city to come, those who disobey military orders, and those who deliberately slack off and delay, will be killed on the spot." ”

"Whoa!"

Whether or not we can hold the city is a matter of war, and whether or not we can hold the city is an attitude.

Since the Qin army came to attack, he could not abandon the city and flee, and Zhao Xing planned to live and die with the city.

Even if Jing Xiang's army is all killed in battle, even if he fights to the last moment, he must not be cowardly.

Blue sky and white clouds, dust vast as smoke.

The generals summoned by Zhao Xing had not yet arrived in time, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from the north of the city, from far and near, like evil ghosts wailing, ten thousand beasts roaring, flying smoke and dust like thick smoke, dark clouds, covering the northern sky.

In the thick smoke and dust, the Qin army rolled in from the north like an endless torrent, as if it wanted to collapse the city.

Gradually, several Qin troops appeared outside the city, arrayed and defended, and surrounded the city without leaking, and even flies did not want to fly out.

Zhao Xing looked at it, and saw that in the Qin army, the shield soldiers were covering, the archers were pulling bows and arrows, the swords and axes were holding swords, and they were arrayed with lances, and they were staring at the city angrily.

The indestructible will to fight and the invincible combat momentum shocked Zhao Xing more and more panic.

Alone on the city tower, Zhao Xing felt like a lonely boat on the ocean, unable to control his own destiny anymore, with the ups and downs of the waves, in the vast sea, I don't know how to dock.

"Damn!"

Zhao Xing's clenched fists creaked, his cold face was like iron, and he couldn't help but scold.

For a long time, several generals of the Jingxiang army led the Jingxiang army to the top of the city one after another, taking the opportunity to deploy defenses.

It's a pity that in the Jingxiang army, some generals learned that Zhao Xing kept declaring that he would fight to the death, and he was preparing to abandon the city and flee behind his back, avoiding the soldiers of the Qin army.

They all defected to Qin and joined the Qin army that came to kill!

At this time, even though a general led an army to arrive, it still could not make up for the numerical gap between the enemy and us.

What's more, the defenders were panicked, and the Qin army arrayed outside the city was violent, and the enemy was superior or inferior, and the winner could have been separated long ago.

A general stood beside Zhao Xing, carefully observing the situation at the West Gate, and found that the number of Qin troops outside the West Gate alone had exceeded the number of defenders in the city.

Persist in fighting, and the chances of victory are slim.

"Prince, the Qin army led by Gongsun Ang is several times larger than mine, and the other Qin generals are arraying their troops and have surrounded the city. If they insist on fighting to the death, the Qin army will definitely easily climb the city wall, break through the city gate, and enter the city.

The last general suggested that in order to reduce the casualties of the defenders and civilians in the city, whether to quickly open the city to welcome the Qin army into the city before the Qin army attacked.

In doing so, he can not only protect the prince Zhousuan, but also do not need to bear the wrath of the Qin army. ”

After all, there were already generals who had gone out of the city to surrender to Qin, and they had never heard the news of their killings, indicating that the Qin army was willing to accept them.

Zhao Xing would rather take refuge in the alien race outside the Saiwai and survive in its protection than surrender to the Qin State and the enemy who killed his father.

He pulled out his sword and pointed directly at the general who was speaking, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Today, this king and the city live and die together, and those who dare to speak up and surrender to Qin will be killed." ”

Suddenly, several generals gathered were quite depressed.

They glanced at each other, and they were extremely dissatisfied with Zhao Xing.

Previously, Zhao Xing had fled with his family, and if it wasn't for Gongsun Ang's army, Zhao Xing would not have been able to return to the city to fight.

Now the Qin army is besieging the city, and Zhao Xing is unable to fly, but he claims to live and die with the city.

If they didn't know the news of Zhao Xing's escape, they still believed Zhao Xing.

It's a pity that he knows what Zhao Xing has done, and he is all preparing to surrender to Qin.

Now they stayed in the city, insisted on fighting the Qin army, and when the city was broken, they were bound to let the Qin army be executed.

Even if the Qin army did not break the city, they might die in battle when resisting the Qin army.

The soldiers are in danger under the city.

Several generals had their own ghosts, and they had to be temporarily deployed due to Zhao Xing's anger.

At this time, Gongsun Ang led the army at the West Gate, Di Zhongkang, Di Zhongtai led the army at the East Gate, the South Gate, and Guo Jikang led the army at the North Gate.

The capital of Jiangzhou has been reduced to a lamb to the slaughter.

Outside the West Gate.

In the Qin army that was arrayed, Gongsun Ang rode out of the column with a sword, staying at the forefront of the Qin army, half-squinting at the situation at the West Gate.

Half a month ago, he led his army to be attacked, and the army led the army to survive in Gaotang Prefecture.

Half a month passed, the situation in Jiangzhou and Gaotang Prefecture changed suddenly, and he led the army to capture the cities in Jiangzhou one after another, and the troops approached the capital of Jiangzhou, and surrounded the remnants of Zhao Xing and Jingxiang's army in the city.

At this time, if he is willing to attack the city, between the swing of the sword, the Qin army outside the city will attack, and within half a day, he will definitely be able to easily capture the West Gate, lead the army into the city to capture Zhao Xing, completely end the battle in Jiangzhou, and complete the plan of Wang Shangnan to conquer Jiangzhou and Gaotang Prefecture.
