The drums outside the city sounded before dawn, and Xiong Jing was still in his dream at that time - he dreamed that he was helping Xuan'er check her body, and then Mi Qian ran over and said that she was going to check it too, and then Concubine Li, she came and coquettishly said that the king, you are really biased, why don't you help the concubine check. Xiong Jing said that you are the beloved concubine of your father, and I can't check it, Chang Jiang, an old thing, opened his mouth, and he said that according to the steaming marriage system, in addition to the queen mother, the concubines and concubines of the first king are all the wives and concubines of the king, and they all need to be checked by the king.

Xiong Jing was very happy when he heard this, but unfortunately at this time, the soldiers who heard the drums outside the city suddenly shouted, 'Reinforcements are coming', and all those concubines disappeared in an instant. When Chang Jiang staggered over, he had already gotten up after wiping his saliva. The position of the bed is still the general chapter on the west side of the main bed, there is no house, there is a small military tent, sleeping in it, whenever the wind blows, the military tent will always rustle.

"King, reinforcements are coming!" Chang Jiang was in tears, during this time, he worshiped Taiyi every morning and evening, in order to be the king of the army, and now, the reinforcements are finally here, and the king is saved.

The word "reinforcement ......" made Xiong Jing no longer regret the beauty in his dream and remembered the current reality. Where there is a battlefield and a place where corpses stand, if you die, you will live, and if you are lucky, you will die. He fought the enemy here with the determination to fight to the death, and if he had not, he would have lost his life when the outer city was destroyed, and at that time the Red Devil had advised him to break through the siege, provided that the whole army covered the launch of the last few large wings.

"God bless me Chu Guoye!" Whether it was Chang Jiang or the other temple people, they all bowed to the ground, and they didn't see the smile on Xiong Jing's face gradually dissipating.

"Not true. If it was reinforcements, how could the drums be so small? "The walls of the royal city are more than nine meters high, and the high platform of more than three meters high cannot see the scene outside at all. Xiong Jing listened to the sound of the drum, but felt that the sound was too small. Bells and drums are extremely valuable things, and the war drums are all built drums, which usually stand on the top of the chariot and are easy to carry. If Xiang Yan comes to the rescue, the whole army should have thousands of drums, and it will be earth-shattering when they are beaten, and now this drum is too small and too small.

"Your Majesty, the reinforcements are at the forefront!" The rest of the generals hurried up to the high platform, and they made up for it, saying that it was the advance of reinforcements.

"Lose taboo?" Xiong Jing glanced at everyone, but did not see the artillery general. "What's the taboo of public loss?"

"Your Majesty, the general is still in the position." Zhuang Quji is already Xiong Jing's adjutant, and he assists Xiong Jing in official affairs many times.

"Call him quickly." Xiong Jing commanded. In the small city of 400 meters long, there is no question of whether to call or not, and the confessor ran to the stage and shouted a few times at the artillery position, and the public ran over.

"Quickly build a wooden tower, this king wants to see the reinforcements outside!" Xiong Jing looked at the walls of the city that were more than nine meters high around him, and he felt that he was stuffed in the iron house.

"Yui!" Gong Loser also knew that reinforcements were coming. Although a lot of things were abandoned when retreating into Tucheng, the main hall of the dynasty, the main hall, the ancestral temple, and the pillars and beams removed from Sheji were all there, and there were also leech nails for the boatmaster to repair the big wings, and there were carpenters, leathermen, and blacksmiths in the army, and it was not difficult to build a ten-meter-high wooden platform.

"This reinforcement striker also." Lian Po also woke up, and when he came, all the generals saluted him happily.

"Really a striker?" Xiong Jing finally let go of his suspicions, he thought that the routine harassment of the Chu army, after all, the drum was too quiet.

"The drums beat unremittingly, and the fighting spirit was high. There is no doubt that it will be a striker. Lian Po listened again, and once again concluded that the smiles on the generals' faces were even greater. Our army is separated from the high wall of reinforcements, and we should let them know as soon as possible that the city is still holding out. ”

"Hold on?" Xiong Jing was a little puzzled, he felt that Yingdu should always know that he was sticking to it.

"Yes, yes." Lian Po nodded. "A few days ago, when the enemy army attacked the city, it suddenly stopped drumming and did not advance, several times, this is a demon. The minister thought that the enemy army should spread the false news that the king's city had been broken and the king had died, so that the general would not save me. Now the reinforcements are only forwards......"

Lian Po's speculation startled everyone, and there were indeed a few strange times in the past few days when the enemy army stopped drumming and only waved flags at the head of the city. And their own drums were either destroyed or turned into cavalry horse armor, and there were not many people left to use.

"There will be a plan to make the reinforcements outside the city know about me!" The generals were stunned, and Yang Yu suddenly thought of an idea.

"Say!" Xiong Jing was taken aback by Lian Po's inference, and his back was sweating slightly.

"The king can order the artillery to attack the tower with fire bombs, and the reinforcements will be seen." Yang Yu actually wanted to throw a high fire bomb and shoot it with the archer, but his eyes happened to see the Dongcheng Tower, and he immediately changed his mind.

"Great goodness!" Xiong Jing was also thinking about how to remind the reinforcements outside the city that he was still alive, and it was too slow to build a wooden tower. "Someone, order the artillery to slam the Beicheng tower with fire bombs."

"Jing people! Jing people!! "After the capture of the outer city, the Qin and Wei armies had already camped in the city, and the drums were heard before dawn, and the whole city was shocked for a while. Wei Yi was the most panicked one, shouting Jing Ren as he galloped to the Mengwu Shogunate, not even wearing leather shoes.

"Wei Yi asks to see the general." Outside the military curtain, expressionless soldiers stopped him, and only when Meng Wu's voice came from inside the tent did he let him into the tent. "Please ask the general to recall Wang Jian quickly." Wei Yu shouted before he could see Meng Wu.

"Recall Wang Scissors?" Mengwu woke up with the sound of drums, and he couldn't see the chasm clearly in the dark night before, but now the sky is getting brighter, and he found that there are not many Chu troops on the side of the chasm, and the number of people is less than 10,000 according to what the scout cavalry just said.

"Yes, yes." Wei Yu's face was full of burnt. "Xiang Yan has come. Today, our army is only 100,000, although the Wei army has 150,000, but these 150,000 people have been attacking the city for a long time, and they have long been tired. Xiang Yan's 150,000 army and King Jing's army in the city should have 200,000, and our army is invincible! ”

"Report ——!" The soldiers shouted outside the tent, "The enemy army will kill the Wei army without waiting for the formation, and the Wei army will be invincible." ”

"Huh?" Meng Wu let out a low sigh. There are 10,000 people on each side of the East Lake. Because the north and east of the city were in charge of the Qin army, and the west and south of the city were in charge of the Wei army, the Qin army was stationed in the north of the lake, and the Wei army was stationed in the south of the lake. The Chu army is only a few thousand people, and they dare to fight without array, is this crazy?

"Soldiers! Extinguish this morning ear eater! "To the south of Hukou, less than a quarter of an hour after the drums sounded, the lone traveler who couldn't bear it ignored the formation and led the county soldiers who had not yet lined up to attack the Wei army, which had also not been lined up. With a huge blade in his hand and blood splashing on his body, he cut off the head of a Wei pawn and raised it high, shouting at the more than 5,000 county guards behind him.

The main general took the lead, carrying the heads and shouting to himself, and the soldiers who had been holding it all night seemed to be ignited with blood, and they screamed, rushed into the midst of the enemy, and slashed and slashed. Tang County is in the west of Dabie Mountain, which belongs to the land of old Ying, and the folk customs in the mountains and forests are already brave, they rushed in a hurry, and actually suppressed the Wei pawn in front of them. The Wei army, which had just woken up, did not fight in formation, but turned around and left.

The Wei soldiers retreated and the county soldiers advanced, and soon thousands of county soldiers rushed into the Wei army camp. The grass was full of Wei soldiers' tents, and when the soldiers rushed through the military tents to chase after Wei soldiers, only a shout was heard in the front row: "Shoot!" ”

The rain of arrows came head-on, and the county soldiers were caught off guard by arrows one after another, and at this time, the drums of the Wei army just started, and thousands of Wei soldiers rushed over under the command of the Wei generals, and surrounded thousands of Chu soldiers.

"Kill!" The morale of the Wei army was like a rainbow, and the Chu army was beaten violently, and the arrows shot by the crossbowmen behind the formation continued to fall into the denser and denser county soldiers, and the screams became more and more urgent.

"General Ruoao, this is 'the way of change, all in a moment'?" Reading Lang, who was the same as the lone traveler before, smiled bitterly, feeling that he was bound to die, and he couldn't care about any dignity and humility - he thought that the lone traveler with the great name of Ruo Ao would defeat the Wei army in a battle, but he didn't expect his army to be surrounded by the Wei legion.

"If you don't know, you will be silenced!" The lone traveler was also a little confused, he didn't expect General Wei to be so sophisticated, he actually set up an ambush in the barracks, this action was too fast, he shouted while blocking the arrows: "Yi spear array!" Ten people are platoons. ”

"The general has an order: Array of spears, ten people are a platoon!" Arrows kept falling, and there were shouts of killing all around. Fortunately, the county guard is not a weak soldier, and he can hold it for a while. He said that the summoned spear was not the weapon of the county guard, but the previous command.

"Spears are arrayed, ten people are in a platoon!" The encirclement has not yet reached the point where people are crowded and cannot move, and although the battlefield is fighting and shouting, thousands of people do not occupy much space. With the order, one hundred and ten spears that were close quickly gathered, and thirty-six archers also rushed over more than twenty people. These men hurriedly lined up behind the halberd spearmen, who were crowded in the midst of the screaming county pawns, and the formation was crooked.

"Listen to me, spear." The lone traveler stood at the front of the spear formation with his back to the enemy, a feathered arrow nailed to his back through the crowd, and his body trembled.

"Commander's Command: End the Spear!" The new regulations stipulate that spearmen are required to repeat the commander's command during battle, so that they do not mishear it. The spearman repeated the command while holding the spear, and the action on this side immediately attracted the attention of General Wei on the chariot.

"Ready-" The lone traveler turned, changing from a spear-end position to a spear-rushing position, and the iron spear was raised above his head, when another wave of arrows struck, and he was hit again, snorting in a muffled voice.

"Kill ——!" With a loud shout, the lone traveler rushed out, and the halberd spearmen who were fighting with the Wei army in front of him were rushed away by him. Unaffected, the spear in his hand began to press down with all his might, and a long spear was knocked to the ground, followed by a 'poof', and the spear stabbed through the chest of a pawn wielding Gowe, grazing the spine and piercing the back.

"Kill!" The spearmen were in a row of ten, and the first three rows of spearmen also rushed forward like a lone wanderer, but half of them were blocked by the halberd spearmen in the front row, and their front line array was in chaos. Fortunately, the chaos was only for a while, and the spearmen who had finished the impact immediately avoided to both sides, and the halberd spearmen saw that there were comrades behind them who raised their spears again, and they also hurriedly avoided them.

"Kill!!" The spear array began the second round of spear rushing, and this time the thirty Yi spears really pierced into the Wei army formation. The sharp and swift attack not only made Wei Pawn scream repeatedly, but the soldiers in the rear were even more frightened and hurriedly retreated. Thirty spears pierced ten people at the same time, and anyone who saw it would be afraid.

"Kill !!" The second round of spear charging had just ended, and the third round of three rows of spearmen rushed to the same position. Now the Wei pawns couldn't hold it anymore, they screamed, and turned back and ran as before, and the spearmen still caught up with them and stabbed them to death.

The spear array rushed like the tide of the sea, wave after wave. The lone traveler can't imagine any military formation in the world that can stop the rush of the spear formation. He was not surprised by the defeat of the Wei army, because it was either the third or the fourth round of defeat - the spearmen after the impact would return to the rear to line up, which meant that such an attack would continue and be continuous.

The lone traveler was about to order the spearmen to kill the main general of the Wei army, when he suddenly found that all his subordinates had forgotten the battle in an instant, and looked at one place in a daze. There, on the east tower of the high royal city, a dazzling fire suddenly rose.
