Chapter 57: The Siege 6
The sky has been bright, the fire in the west of the city is not only not extinguished, but burns bigger and bigger, the light and fire cover the tower of the middle gate of the west city, and the black smoke pulled out is blown obliquely over Chen Ying by the wind, reminding people that this is a city that has fallen.
In the shogunate of the Wei army, all the generals glared at Ye Shou angrily, and looked at Xiangbang Ziji expectantly, but what disappointed them was that Xiangbang still issued a military order to withdraw from the city, and the military officials holding the feather herald also had a lot of dissatisfaction. As soon as he left, the generals looked sideways at Ziji and no longer looked at him head-on.
"This attack on Chu is not for Chen Cheng, but for the King of Chu." The golden sound of the Qin army's withdrawal was faintly heard, and seeing that the Wei general in the tent was treating him like this, Zi Ji had to explain why he had to act like this. "Chen Cheng is easy to get, but King Chu is not easy to get. If our army and the Qin army take Chencheng, the king of Chu will retreat to Xiangcheng, or Juyang, or Shouying. At that time, the army needed to go deep into the Chu realm.
The chasm waterway was seized by the Chu army's boat division, and it was difficult to continue to transport grain and straw by car, and if you want to transport grain and straw to Xiang, to Juyang, and to Shouying, it is definitely not possible for our Wei State. Even if the grain is available, can you kill the King of Chu? No. Ziji shook his head regretfully.
"Why does Xiangbang have to kill the King of Chu?" Finally, the veteran Gongsun Mao couldn't help but salute each other, he was most familiar with Ziji on weekdays.
"Why did I kill the King of Chu?" Ziji suddenly laughed, and laughed bitterly. "In this battle, the King of Qin wants to kill the King of Chu, and my Wei State has to obey his fate. Although the king of Chu is young, the art of iron and the art of war boats are all important techniques of the country, and one can strengthen the country. This is what no one can think of, such a king, if he does not kill him, he will be the great enemy of the Qin people in the future. β
"Xiangbang, Wei is a dignified country, Xinling Jun has only been defeated by the Qin army for ten years, why is Jun so ...... to the Qin people" There are old generals and fierce generals, and Jin Zhu is one of them." The state of Chu has not attacked our Wei for decades, and if I kill the king of Chu, the two countries will become a great enemy, which is not the blessing of our Wei country. β
"Yes, yes. Killing the King of Chu is definitely not the blessing of my Wei country. The generals nodded frequently. The State of Wei is by no means the State of Wei in the past, and the current state can only be described as lingering. And the Chu State Boat Division was invincible, and if he really killed the King of Chu, Daliang would become the forefront.
"If you don't attack Chu, the Qin people will attack me; Attack Chu, and the Chu people will also attack me in the future. Zi Ji sat down on the table in a dejected manner: "Why should you worry about the affairs of his day? It's just one day at a time. β
"Report!" In the gate tower of the West City, Wei General Lin Jiao was watching the battle, but the military official who gave the order stepped forward but did not speak.
"What does Xiangbang have to tell the general?" Lin Jiao was surprised by the actions of the military officer, he had never seen a herald holding a feather and not speaking.
"Xiangbang...... The general should withdraw from Chencheng. The military officer said, seeing Lin Jiao glaring at him, he said again: "This Qin people's life is also." β
"What does the life of the Qin people have to do with the general?" Lin Jiao shouted, he didn't take the feather box, and ordered left and right: "Cut it." β
"The general spares his life! The general spares his life! The general spared his life...... "The military officer was so shocked that he threw the feather in his hand on the ground, but he was still dragged out by the armor soldier, and after screaming miserably, there was no more sound.
"General, if this matter is known to Xiangbang...... Lin Jiao killed the military officials who gave the order, and he was uneasy left and right. Everyone knows that Xiangbang Ziji is a dog of the Qin people, and the king has nothing to do with him, and if he does not respect his orders, he will be retaliated against.
"What about knowing?" Lin Jiao asked rhetorically: "I, the Wei people, took the city in a bloody battle, why should I listen to the military orders of the Qin people?" Ordered General Mao to quickly kill the enemy in front of him, if he delayed, he would not be spared. β
The fire under the city burned bigger and bigger, because of the smoke, Lin Jiao could only see the tail of the Wei army, and could not see the Chu army opposite the military guard. He really couldn't think of what made Mao Chai cringe.
Lin Jiao thought so, but Mao Zhu couldn't say bitterness in his heart. 10,000 fighters and 5,000 soldiers couldn't stop more than 2,000 Chu soldiers, if it weren't for the terrain restrictions, the depth of this army reached more than 100 lines, I am afraid that Chu soldiers have cut through their own army formation at this time, and the Wei army will be defeated.
At this moment, the spear formation of the Chu army was deeply submerged in its own army, and although it was attacked from all sides, it still strode forward. The lightly armed fight has no power in a battle at all, and now the only way to count on the spear formation is to defeat the warriors on the flank, as long as the warriors can defeat them from the flank, then the battle will be won; If the spear array really pierced the entire formation, then he would be defeatedβeven if the soldiers could stabilize the array, they would collapse and flee with all their might.
"Kill!" The last row of spearmen abandoned their spears, and they also burrowed under the spears like soldiers, engaged in a life-and-death struggle in this small space. The small space is actually beneficial to the warriors, the giant blade can not be held high to split, and the force is greatly reduced, but the sharpness of the giant blade is by no means blocked by the wooden shield, and the huge blade in the hand of the sanitation often penetrates the opponent's shield and pierces into the warrior's rhinoceros armor.
"Advance ββ!" The spear formation was still advancing, and everyone in front of them was terrified, and the commanders on the chariots behind them were slashing the retreating pawns with their swords, while shouting and scolding them to resist the enemy's advance. Rao was like this, and the rows of fighting were still stabbed to death by the advancing Yi spears, and the entire spear array was completely trampling on the corpses of the Wei people.
"Advance ββ!" The chariots led by the Wei army were already far away, and they were about to cut through the enemy's formation.
"Vote! Pitch! The chariot behind the formation suddenly staggered, revealing the tall Wei pawns holding fire bombs behind them, and they rushed to burn all the Chu pawns in the spear array as they did last night.

"Tell the king, General Yangyu is fighting with the Wei military in Xicheng." After entering the city for a long time, he did not encounter the enemy, and Xiong Jing was more determined. Chen Ying's road is vertical and horizontal. The current situation is roughly that Chen Bu urgently dispatched the county officials of Dongcheng and Nancheng to seal the southernmost Nandao and prevent the Wei army from attacking Dongcheng; In the middle of the night, he went out of the royal city to rescue the Xicheng Yangyu who blocked the middle road, and was fighting with the Wei military soldiers, the situation in the north road is not clear, but it is obvious that the Qin army did not attack the city, and the city walls and city towers are all county soldiers.
"King, the Wei army was blocked by our army in Xicheng, when looking for people who are familiar with the streets and alleys of the market to march from the alleys to the middle gate of the West City, in order to cut off the back road of the Wei army and mess with its military morale." Really on the battle formation, Lian Po was not sleepy at all, and looked at Chen Ying's map without blinking.
"General Ou, you will lead the soldiers under your command to enter the middle gate of the West City from the alley." The general of the boat division was not there, and only Ou Tuo was stationed in Chen Ying, and there were more than 2,000 people under his command.
"Your lord, if my master goes, the king's safety ......will be in danger" Xiong Jing only has more than 100 palace armor from Zhuang Quji, and then there are 300 armor soldiers on the 12 big wings of Chen Ying, if Ou Tuo takes away more than 2,000 people, then there are less than 500 people left around Xiong Jing.
"Everything is important to Chen Ying." Xiong Jing waved his hand to let him go quickly, the Qin army did not enter the city, and the Wei army was sealed in the west of the city, and it was enough to have hundreds of armor guards around him.
