The hammering of the trebuchets continued day and night, and the Chu army outside the city felt boring and mechanical, while the Qin people inside the city felt fear and despair. Yesterday, the unbearable city wall collapsed again, but the Chu army, as it did more than ten days ago, did not rush in, so that the careful arrangements in the city were all useless. In this way, it seems that the intention of the Chu army is very clear, and it will wait until the gap is completely opened before attacking the city.

In the dim light of the county magistrate's office, in front of the county commander, the county lieutenant summoned the officers above the tun chief to enter and make the final arrangements.

"Our wives and sons are all in Nanjun, and if they fall, they will sit down. To exchange our death for the life of our wives and children, but what? "The county lieutenant is the old Qianshou in Guanzhong, and the battle of Changping was worshiped as a public doctor because of many beheadings, and then he was a county lieutenant. His eyes burned, and he looked from the five hundred lords to the tun chief, and from the tun chief to the five hundred lords. Three thousand Qin soldiers may die here tomorrow.

"Yes." Under his forced gaze, dozens of tun chiefs sighed and replied loudly.

Most of the tun chiefs are new Qiantou, so it is not surprising to answer like this. The five hundred lords sitting in front of him looked indifferent, and one of them said with an urn: "The Lu of the food king, the matter of loyalty to the king." The hands of the Zhao people who did not die back then had to live for more than 20 years, what a pity. ”

"Good!" It is reassuring to have a few five hundred county captains, just like the thousands of Qin soldiers back then, they are all loyal to the king and the Qin State. "Today the city will be broken, and when the Jing people enter the city, they will die without a fight; Fighting, but also dying, should be a fight. Spread my military order: From today onwards, the whole army will eat meat and give wine, thinking that it will be a war. ”

"The wall of Shaxian has been broken, you wait to ask for a battle and don't allow it, why?" At the same time, Xiong Jing was also giving instructions to the officers above the rank of commander of the Chu army. Under the gaze of 32 pawn commanders, 8 brigade commanders, 2 division commanders, and 44 pairs of eyes, he did not shy away from speaking out. "Someone once said that Master Chu is light, and he doesn't think so. I, the Chu people, act not on principle, but on emotion; Not with weight, but with change; not by virtue, but by valor; Not by common sense, but by genius; It is not thoughtful, but indulgent.

War is a ruthless affair. If temperament is useful, why do you need regulations? If you can be spontaneous, why do you need a temple? If selfishness is invincible, why do you need an array?

I don't often think, what is a strong teacher? Xinping Junyan: Strong teachers don't see victory, they need to lose. Victory, all divisions are the same; Defeat, the strength is different. Why? The heart of a strong teacher is like a rock, the death is like a brother, not to win, not to be worried, the battle is like a craftsman casting mold, such as a farmer ploughing the field, like a weaver spinning, everything is customized. If it doesn't work, it's not as good as the skill; If it doesn't work, it's because the tactics are flawed; No, it's a mistake in cooperation. Today's mistakes will be corrected tomorrow, and tomorrow's mistakes will be changed the day after tomorrow, just like the rising sun, rising day by day.

The weak division is not, the winner is ecstatic, and the loser is mournful. If he ordered people to be Chu Ge on all sides, what would the king be? He won one victory after another victory in Yingdu, what will the king be? He and the Qin people drove their fathers and wives as shields, what will happen to you?

Even if you are in the array, you should eliminate selfishness and courage, and advance and retreat with the whole army; When you are doing military affairs, you should ask how the temple is, how the tactics are, and how you cooperate, rather than relying on the courage of blood. In this battle, the fighter should be self-controlled, and the viewer should be self-explanatory. ”

It's rare to make such a tirade, Lu Yangjun has always wanted to invite Xiong Jing to go to the military academy, but Xiong Jing has always shirked it. But this time, after getting along with Master Ying, Xiong Jing can feel the problem in Master Ying's bones more and more. However, institutionalization and regulation are by no means achieved overnight, and this requires the cultivation of a very axial and axial officer corps that has always been like Prussia.

"The King?" Xiong Jing seemed to be finished, but he was still standing there, so that Deng Sui didn't know if he had anything to say.

"It's over." Xiong Jing Road. "Siege."

"Siege!" The brigade commander who was still thinking about the king's words was still in a trance in his mind, and a few pawn commanders who had never read the book didn't even understand what the king was talking about. How can there be so much attention to fighting and killing the enemy? After receiving the order, they finally returned to their true colors as soldiers, shouted at Xiong Jing, "The last general respectfully accepts the order", and then ran out of the tent to the headquarters.

At noon, the trebuchet finally smashed open the last small section ......of the city wall, the wall collapsed and the dust dispersed, and the entire Shaxian City was exposed at the breach, and the Qin army defending the city was lined up behind the breach, and the array was fierce, as if it was going to fight to the death with the Chu army.

It was originally a small city that was captured, but the reprimands from Xiong Jing were repeated again and again. Yang Yu, who had long been unhappy in his heart, shouted when he saw Qin Jun: "Attack!" ”

"Attacking ——!" The soldier shouted. They marched forward with their spears, although their faces were flushed with excitement, but there were still military laws and regulations, so they did not rush to pounce on them, but walked forward slowly with neat steps.

The Chu pawns moved forward, and the Qin pawns at the breach retreated, and when half of the Chu pawns entered the city, two Qin pawns suddenly rushed out from both sides of the breach to storm the flank of the Chu army. The Qin pawns who had retreated immediately immediately stopped the counterattack and attacked the Chu army on three sides.

"The King?" The width of the two Chu army formations was thirty meters, which was about the width of the breach in the city wall. Outside the city, you can only hear the shouts and killings inside, and you can't see the situation inside the city at all. Deng Sui felt something strange when he heard it, and he didn't know what to do.

"Will be outside, the king's order will not be accepted." Xiong Jing shook his head, he could reprimand the generals of the Yingshi Division, but he could not rudely interfere with their command. But when he said this, his heart was still hanging. However, the city ** was too narrow, the soil was finely broken, and under the trampling of the two armies in the battle, that section of the city wall was dusty and nothing could be seen.

Xiong Jing was worried here, the Chu soldiers who went deep into Shaxian City were suddenly robbed and killed on three sides, and they were a little at a loss at first, but the spear formation could have been attacked on all sides, and the spears in the hands of the soldiers were flattened, and the Qin army that rushed over did not take advantage. It's just that the dust raised during the battle is really an eyesore, and many Qin soldiers rolled under their spears and began to fight close to each other with short ge, forcing the outermost spearmen to abandon their spears and draw their swords and fight with them in close combat.

"Rush!" Raise the first soldier and rush to the forefront. The Chu army stuck in the breach could not be deployed, and the follow-up forces could not be invested, so it was more important than stabilizing the array to advance forward. As long as the Qin army is routed forward, and the Chu army of two divisions rushes into the city, there will be no suspense in the next battle.

"The general has an order, and the spearman rushes the spear!" The commander understood the meaning of raising the dragon, and directly ordered to charge the spear.

"Rush!" The spears in the front row were already raised, and even if they didn't have the distance to rush the spears, the spearmen still rushed forward. Countless Qin pawns were pierced, and the spearmen who rushed out did not entangle with the Qin pawns too much, and then avoided to the sides.

"Rush ——!" The first wave of spearmen rushed out, followed by the second, then the third, and then the fourth. After the fourth group of spearmen rushed out, the Qin army's obstruction was meaningless, because the follow-up spearmen followed closely, and the breach in the city wall had been spared. The Chu army outside the city was pouring into Shaxian City like a tide of breaches, and the three thousand Qin troops were instantly defeated and retreated.

"Tell the king, the Qin army has been defeated." The soldier had a wound on his leg, the ring armor could not protect his body, and it was too heavy to wear a set of chain mail.

"Good." There was a slight stagnation when entering the city, but it quickly crushed the stubborn resistance of the Qin army without causing too many casualties. There is nothing wrong with such a battle. "Don't kill women or children."

"Yui. Ministers do not kill women and children. The officer replied and quickly turned back. When he went, the prefectural prefectural office in the city suddenly caught fire, and outside the prefectural prefectural office, the rest of the houses also burst into flames, and there were occasional cries.

"When it is the Qin people of Guanzhong." The Chu army did not rush into the inner city, and the fire was set by the Qin army. Seeing this scene, Xiong Jing naturally remembered the Qin army that was burned to death in the Battle of Jiyi. Those veterans of the Qin army who participated in the Battle of Changping were the most stubborn and would rather die than surrender.

"The Qin people are vicious, and they would rather self-immolate their people than let me get it." Right Shi has also seen a lot of battles, and he sighed when he saw this.

"Qin Min?" Xiong Jing shook his head, he didn't resist under the harsh government, what is the difference between living and dying.

"Please order someone to save him." The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the cries became more and more urgent. Shaxian City is small, even against the north wind, some sounds can be heard in the position occupied by Xiong Jing. Zuo Shi immediately spoke when he heard the voice, but Xiong Jing did not answer.

Zuo Shi said again, Xiong Jingcai said: "The remnants of the enemy have not been cleared, how to save each other?" ”

"King, there may be Chu people in Shaxian City." Zuo Shi can only change his statement.

"If you see a woman or a child in the fire, you can save it." Xiong Jing ordered Deng Sui. He had no love for the Qin people, so he did not strictly order the Chu army to be rescued. Zuo Shi watched the military officials go to the city to give orders, and did not dare to make any more requests.

After more than an hour, the battle in the city ended, and when Xiong Jing entered the city, he not only saw the corpses of Qin soldiers scattered all over the city, but also smelled the scorching smell of human flesh, just like the scorching smell of Chen Ying's back then, and when he arrived in the inner city, there were more than a thousand undead women and children, these people cried incessantly, and they didn't know what fate was waiting for them.

"The minister has not disgraced his mission, and he has pulled out the sand." The two pawns led by Yang Yu were the vanguards, and the rest of the pawns were from the Xicheng Division. When he and the prison rider saw Xiong Jing coming, they immediately stepped forward to salute and return to their lives.

"What are the casualties?" Xiong Jing's face was not happy, and he felt that such combat casualties should not exceed three percent.

"Your Majesty, please look." The numbers have been counted, and Shi Sima did not say the numbers explicitly, only handed the numbers to Xiong Jing.

"Yes." The casualty figures were expected, and Xiong Jing's face finally loosened a little. "Outside the outpost, you can treat the whole army."

"King Xie!" Master Yingshi began to eat meat for meals very early, but the reward is different from eating meat, and the reward is wine. The price of millet remained high, so the liquor tax was also increased. After the decision to accumulate millet this year, some counties began to buy alcohol with tickets, and wine tickets were hard to find. As soon as he said reward, nobles like Yang Yu also began to swallow their saliva.

"My lord, what about the pawn?" After the Qin army was defeated, there were still some people who surrendered, and I don't know whether these people were killed or not.

"Qin people or Chu people?" Xiong Jing asked.

"Or there are people from Nanjun who also speak Chu language." Prison Ride.

"Those who are entrusted to the knowledge of the other are to be disposed of by the knowledge of the other." The state of Chu is very short of labor, but Wei pawns are available, and Qin pawns are very vigilant up and down, especially Qin pawns' family members are mostly in Qin State. Since the beginning of the previous year, the Qin army's subordinates have been handed over to the Zhibi Division for disposal, some have been released back to the Qin State, some have been moved to Yuedi as slaves, and as for some of the so-called old Qianshou, most of them have been killed after interrogation.
