Chapter 80: Day and Night
In the winter moon, the convoy traveled south in the wind and snow in the north. The car is very fast, the carriage is wide, and the people on the car who have been walking for half a day do not feel unwell, and when they arrived in Chang'an at noon, they found that the problem was discovered, and the Chang'an post station actually refused to provide grain.
"Doctor Qu, how should this be?" A cadre of temple people and ministers looked at Qu Sui. The convoy relied on the post station to supply grain and straw along the way, and people ate and chewed horses, which cost a lot, and if the post station did not provide it, the convoy would be unable to move an inch.
"The city." Qu Sui sat in the car, the door was open, the wind and snow whined into the car, and the snowflakes fell on his high crown.
"Yui." The temple minister hurriedly replied, and hurriedly sent someone to the market to buy.
"This Qin people don't want us to return to China." After these people hurried away, the housekeeper beside him told Qu Sui.
"What if you don't want to?" Qu Sui looked at the wind and snow outside the car. "I have no bread, what is the king? To this day, the king has been trapped in Chen Ying's ...... for more than three months."
Bringing Mi Qian back to China was not to regret marriage, but to let Qin withdraw from the army. The Qin State will not withdraw its troops, and the Mi Qian who returns to the Chu State will marry someone else, and no one will dislike a woman who marries out but does not sue her husband's family.
Although the post station does not provide grain and straw, it is not difficult to buy these things in the Chang'an market. The temple people who used the purchased weed to feed the horses and the chariot steamed rice and cooked the soup, and after eating, the convoy moved forward in the wind and snow. The food was rough and the Qin people were indifferent, and at this time, Mi Qian and the others knew the difficulty of returning to the country, and the carriage was silent for a long time. Qi Xuan in the other carriage didn't take this seriously. The farther away from Xianyang, the closer it is to the state of Chu; The closer she is to the country of Chu, the closer she is to her lover, even if she doesn't sleep or eat, she has to return to China.

'Kill! Chen Ying, who was thousands of miles away, was also full of wind and snow, but no one had the intention of wind and snow, and the tide-like Qin and Wei armies poured into the city one after another, and the defenders had just killed them, and they rushed up with screams. At this time, the Chu army no longer had iron bullets and fire bombs, and the trebuchets could only fire some uneven bricks and mud, and all kinds of arrows were used up.
"Change!" From time to time, there were people shouting on the city wall, which was a tactical rotation when the three rows of county soldiers were fighting. The county guards of the rear team hurriedly stepped forward to replace the tired comrades in the front row. Most of them were dressed in leather armor, and a few were dressed in great armor. At this time, the giant iron ring armor was no longer as bright as a mirror, and it was full of red or black bloodstains, and the corpses of both sides were lying at the head of the city and under the city. There is no need for a ladder car at all, as long as you step on these frost-white corpse ladders, Qin Wei's soldiers can calmly climb the city tower.
"Kill ——!" The pawn who had just been transferred to the front row waved his knife and shouted, but his shouting was abruptly interrupted. A feathered arrow from the car shot into his eye socket, and he fell down without a word, rolling down the corpse ladder into the moat that had long been severed. The county guards who did not realize that the chief had been killed by arrows raised their shields and swung their spears and continued to slash, but when the rain of arrows came again, another row of county stroke arrows fell.
Their arrows rained down, and there was a crack in the enemy's line, and the beryllium-wielding sharpman who had just climbed into the front of the car shouted, and raised the long beryllium to sweep. Although the bronze beryllium can't break through the armor, it can hit the county guards and often sweep them off the city.
"Kill!" The Qin army's sharp soldiers also shouted wildly, and attacked the gap in the three horizontal formations of the county soldiers, and finally cut the horizontal formation in half.
"Report ——!" In the North Central City Tower, the heralds drank. "Report to the general, the Qin army has occupied the city on the left, please rescue quickly."
"I'll go!" Before the chief of sanitation, Lan Zhong stood up when he heard this, and the Yushi behind him also stood up. Unlike the county magistrates, the honorable men were systematically trained to spear and were well armoured.
"No." Chen Bu's face was black, the corners of his mouth were blistering, and his eyes were already red, and he patted Lan Zhong on the shoulder: "Remember to come back." ”
"Ahh——!h The beryllium of the Qin army's sharp soldiers at the head of the city slammed like a windmill, and whenever the long beryllium swept in, the county guards could only retreat with their backs lowered. Every time the county guards took a step back, the Rui Shi took a step forward, and more Qin troops immediately poured into the wall behind them.
There are also county guards who are not afraid of death who see the gap between the long beryllium and rush forward, but there are several people behind the beryllium, and once Chu rushes forward, the two long berylliums rush over. The bronze beryllium pierced the leather armor immediately, but the stab on the armor could only make a sound of deed, but at this time, there would often be one or two Qin soldiers dressed in black robes and with scattered hair rushing up regardless of their lives, hugging and pulling the county guards to arch outside the city, and finally both fell into the city.
This is the Qin army's fallen soldiers, except for a few greedy people who are not afraid of death, the rest are mostly guilty slaves of the whole family. During the battle, they rushed to the front, paying for their crimes with death so that their families could be spared, and when they attacked the city, they rushed to the front, using their bodies as shields to cover the Qin army behind them to capture the city. There are only eleven people in the county who are wearing huge armor, and as long as these people in the battle see the county soldiers, they will rush up and die with them.
Fighting to this day, the fighting style of fighting with their lives does not make the county guards afraid, and they have not spared their lives, but these people in battle are like ghosts, and their faces are not vicious and hideous, but strange smiles. The Chu people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of ghosts, and every time the people who fall into battle rush forward, the county guards instinctively retreat, no exception.
"Stand back, stand back." The county guards retreated farther and farther away, and they didn't stabilize their bodies until the voice of the blue bell sounded behind them.
"Nobles, beware of the Qin army." The sweaty pawn commander reminded that he was not afraid of anything, just afraid of the Qin army's criminal slaves.
"What is the fear of those who are trapped!" Lan Zhong naturally knew the soldiers of the Qin army, and they often fought with the sharp soldiers. "Array."
"Array." The honored soldier in the huge armor held his spear high and aimed at the Qin army's sharp soldiers who were more than twenty steps away. The Rui Shi is no longer a person dancing the long beryllium in front, they are also in ten columns like the Yu Shi, but the thickness of the military formation is twice that of the Yu Shi's five rows.
It is not the first time that the sharps with beryllium and the honorable with spears have fought each other. The Honorable took advantage of the Giant Armor and could ignore the stabbing of the long beryllium, and their attacks could not be resisted by the Sharps, and every time they fought, the Sharps were driven out of the city.
"Ahh Before the two sides could engage their troops, dozens of trapped men rushed forward, not fighting, but embracing death. Following them, the beryllium-wielding sharps also rushed forward, seizing the gap between the stabbing of the fallen warriors and the drawing of their spears.
"Kill!" The blue bell in the front row shouted, and he rushed forward, and the rest of the honorable people also rushed forward with him. The soldiers who rushed into the battle were only a short hand in their hands, but they still habitually raised their spears above their heads, and their heads were neatly tilted to one side to prevent accidental injuries from their comrades behind them. As if running under the city, more than 50 honorary soldiers regarded the city as flat ground and rushed at full speed.
'Uh... Yes... Hmmm......' In the muffled scream, the ten spears in the front row instantly pierced the rushing soldiers, and the bloody spear tips passed through the thin body and stabbed the people behind to death. Contrary to the expectations of the warriors, the first row of honorable men did not need to draw their spears, they abandoned their spears and used their knives, and they bent down and grabbed the undead soldiers as if they were grabbing a large shield, and rushed towards themselves with this large shield.
The sharp soldiers in the front row faced the upper and lower columns of enemies, and before they decided whether to face the top or the bottom, the big blade and the spear were killed at the same time.
'Smack! The beryllium was crushed from above by the spear, and the tip of the spear stabbed down the downward pressure.
'Bang! The soldier who lost his breath was slammed by the warrior, knocking down the sharpman in the spear, and the array immediately collapsed.
In the upper and lower attacks, the Ruishi array continued to retreat, and the already not too wide city appeared even narrower.
"Ahh Lan Zhong and the others shouted again, and following the retreat of Ruishi, they pushed again with all their strength. 'Boom', the sharp man whose center of gravity was floating fell again, and the person who did not fall staggered back again, squeezing the already narrow space.
"Kill ——!" The second row of honorable soldiers also abandoned their spears and drew their swords, and the battle was no longer in spear formation mode, but sword and shield mode. Although there were no shields, the honorable warriors were all in great armor, and the bronze soldiers clanged on the armor, but they could not hurt them in the slightest.
The left arm pressed the sharps holding the beryllium, and the giant blade in the right hand stabbed one after another, and blood gushed out like a spring, splashing them all over their heads. No one cares about the blood, and no one cares about the screams of the Qin people, everyone is moving forward, stepping on the corpse of Ruishi. The more you advance, the more crowded the enemy becomes, and the more crowded the enemy, the easier it is to stab them to death one by one.
Ruishi was completely suppressed. At this moment, the battle was already a one-sided slaughter, and the Qin soldiers in the rear who looked anxious but couldn't use their strength kept trembling, and they could only sit and wait for the Chu army to get closer and closer. The crossbows on the cart above their heads collected arrows from the Yushi again and again, but the feathered arrows could only beat their armor to a crisp sound, and could not save the end of the defeat of the Ruishi at the head of the city.
"Retreat! Withdraw! Finally, someone among the Rui men shouted to retreat. Like the honorable man, the sharp is also invaluable. In the face of Yushi's close attack, they had no other way but to retreat.
"Qin dog, Qin dog! Ah——!h Wielding a bloody blade, Lan Zhong and the others shouted at the Qin army soldiers who climbed down the city, they hurried down the city before the last few soldiers fell, and the people were already a few feet away, and they couldn't kill them.
"Jing Ren armor is so brave?!" After attacking the city for several days, some of the female walls at the head of the city have been torn down. Lu Li saw Lan Zhong and others who were waving knives and shouting wildly in the mirror, and Meng Wu, who replaced Xin Wu, let out a sigh of emotion. Once upon a time, the Qin army was the strongest existence in the world; Not long since...... No, not once upon a time, just the year before last. The year before last, the Chu army had no way to take the Ruishi, and now the Ruishi can only retreat.
"General Yu, it is not the courage of Jing people, but the unstoppable blade and armor." Li Xin replied. In the Battle of Qingshui, he didn't think that Mengwu's command was wrong, so he still maintained respect for Mengwu's subordinates.
"It's not that the Jing people are not brave, but the reputation of the Jing people is also." Wang Jian added that during this period of time, he found out a lot of news about the Chu army.
"But the men in the first three rows of the formation?" Meng Wu asked. Of course he knew about the honorable soldiers, the year before the Qingshui War, King Jing asked the sons of the princess to stand in the first three rows of the military formation, and later named these people as honorable soldiers.
"Yes, yes." Wang Jian replied. "According to the Jing newspaper, King Jing and the soldiers said: 'Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind? Nothing, the brave and the faithful are valuable! ’
When the Jing people heard it, the sons and daughters of the nobles all practiced martial arts to protect the wealth of the family; The poor and lowly also practiced martial arts, in order to be expensive because of martial arts. If there are honorable people in the county, the rich and noble families come to the door to marry their daughters......"
"If you don't kill King Jing, you will become a disaster for Qin!" Meng Wu sighed, of course he knew why these changes happened in Jing Kingdom, and everything in Jing Kingdom should rise up from King Jing. He immediately ordered: "Order all battalions to take turns to attack the city, and do not slack off day and night!" ”
