Chapter 8: Catch a Turtle in an Urn!
And the sharp arrows that flew like a torrential rain were still continuous, as if the arrows could not be used up at all.
Fortunately, before this, Xu Chuan had ordered people to be fully prepared.
As for the arrows that were shot out, Xu Chuan didn't think it was a waste, because they could still be picked up and used again.
At this time, on the streets of Gulou, the people of the Chu army who had been surrounded by a rain of arrows, not to mention that they desperately wanted to withdraw from the city, even if they could successfully retreat, they were only afraid of ...... There aren't many people left.
But obviously, Xu Chuan won't let them get out alive!
Wu Zi stood on the top of the city tower, looking at Wang Jing and the others who were trying to withdraw from the city, Xu Chuan commanded lightly: "Order all the soldiers to gather them together and start catching turtles in the urn!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" A sergeant of the Royal Forest Army, who was following Xu Chuan, immediately raised the two small flags in his hand and signaled to the archers.
Suddenly, all the firepower was shot quickly behind the Chu army, completely blocking the path out of the city.
At this time, Xu Chuan snatched the long sword from the waist of a sergeant and blatantly dragged him down the city.
Wang Jing, who was originally desperately resisting, suddenly found Xu Chuan, who was dressed in a dragon robe, as if he suddenly saw hope, and his already scarlet eyes instantly turned into an iron ball.
"If anyone can kill the Emperor of Hua, I will make him a partial general!" Wang Jing shouted at the Chu army.
At this moment, looking at his own sergeants who had already suffered countless casualties, Wang Jing was the only way to boost morale.
Moreover, this is the only way out for them at the moment.
Only by killing Xu Chuan and escaping from the encirclement can they have a chance to live.
In an instant, when Wang Jing's words came out, the Chu army, who had completely messed up the formation and had not much left, looked at each other left and right, and they all rekindled the fighting intent in their hearts.
"Kill!"
"Special mother, Lao Tzu fought with them!"
"I'm going to be a general......"
The people of the Chu army suddenly seemed to be stunned, desperately waving the heavy sword in their hands, and rushed towards the city gate in a hurry, without fear of the wild shooting of arrows.
But despite this, they are just doing useless work.
None of them were able to escape, and many of those who rushed to the rain of arrows were killed on the spot.
At this time, Xu Chuan had already gotten out of the city, holding a heavy iron sword in one hand, standing at the gate of the city.
Behind him were a dozen or so elite guards to protect his safety.
"You are all ...... It seems that they are all in a hurry to die! Xu Chuan shook his head faintly and smiled, ignoring the crazy pounce and slaughter of the Chu army by sharp arrows, and said with a playful smile, "Come, don't you really want to kill me, just let the horse come." ”
As he spoke, Xu Chuan also waved at them gently, and this provocative action raised a lot of hatred.
Sure enough, the Chu army, who was so stimulated, was instantly enraged, and one by one rushed over one after another, like a madman.
But no one could get close to Xu Chuan's two zhang in front of him, and he was killed on the spot by sharp arrows.
At the same time, the Imperial Forest Army, which was hiding in a favorable terrain, also began to walk out of the streets of the Drum Tower one after another, and while continuing to shoot arrows, they surrounded the Chu army into a circle.
"Xu Chuan, this despicable and shameless villain!" Looking at the soldiers who kept dying around him, Wang Jing's whole teeth were about to be crushed.
His eyes were even more swollen, and his eyes were even more scarlet.
"Xu Chuan, if you have the ability, tell your people to stop, do you dare me to fight?!" Wang Jing suddenly yelled hysterically at Xu Chuan.
He didn't expect that he would fall in love with Xu Chuan's Dao.
As for General Li's life or death, now he no longer dares to imagine it, and from this prepared encirclement battle, he can know that General Li must be more than lucky.
Not to mention Li Yi's house, at this time...... Surely he is dead!
But for Wang Jing's roar, Xu Chuan didn't pay attention to half a sentence, the crazy arrows were still shooting, and the few remaining Chu troops were still dying one by one.
"Xu Chuan, you coward, do you dare to fight me!" Wang Jing roared at Xu Chuan again.
Only this time, his voice had begun to become a little trembling and weak, and besides, he rushed directly to the front of the Chu army to resist.
Xu Chuan was stunned on the spot when he saw this, and then he raised his hand to the general, and everyone in the Imperial Forest Army who was shooting arrows stopped shooting.
The cold air began to become extremely confrontational.
"It's up to you...... Who do you think you are? Slanted eyebrows glanced at Wang Jing, Xu Chuan shook his head lightly, and said with a sneer, "You are just a general, and you deserve to let me make a move?" ”
Then Xu Chuan suddenly lifted the heavy sword in his hand straight, pointed at Wang Jing and the others, and pointed his sword at it.
"Kill!"
A cold word came out of Xu Chuan's mouth lightly.
Suddenly, the rain of arrows that had been suspended suddenly returned, and the dozen or so Royal Forest Army sergeants behind Xu Chuan turned into fierce bulls on the spot, and rushed forward with their guns.
The earth-shattering shouts continued, and the massacre began again on the streets of the Drum Tower.
Half an hour passed, and there was not a single Chu army left.
And Wang Jing was also killed by Meng Zhi, the leader of the Royal Forest Army, with his own hands, and fell in a pool of blood with his eyes wide open.
Throughout the streets of the Drum Tower, corpses were piled up, and the red river of blood spread and flowed......
……
"Your Majesty, our side has killed more than 3,000 enemies, none of the Chu army remained, and our army suffered more than 200 casualties."
Meng Zhi, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, reported to Xu Chuanyu after clearing up the number of people.
"Hmm." Xu Chuan nodded in a flat voice, then took a deep breath and said, "Meng Zhi, send two thousand people to stay in Xicheng, and the rest of the people will take Wang Jing's head and go to Xuancheng Gate with me to kill the enemy!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" In response, Meng Zhi immediately ordered Lin Meng to lead 2,000 people to guard Xicheng.
As for the remaining 3,000 Imperial Forest Army, they all followed Xu Chuan to Xuancheng Gate.
……
The main gate of the Imperial Palace, in front of the Xuancheng Gate.
Chu Feng, the general of the Chu State, led 80,000 horses to form a block-shaped phalanx, while Chu Feng rode a horse and stood at the forefront of the army.
Looking up at Xu Ze on the city tower, Chu Feng smiled and said, "Xu Ze, the gap between the forces of you and me is too big, how about opening the door and surrendering?" I promise you, you'll still be able to hold the position of the Great Hussar General of the Chinese Kingdom! ”
Chu Feng stared at Xu Ze with a smile on his face, and in his words, he couldn't hear the truth of this sentence at all.
Chu Feng knew very well in his heart that at this time, Wang Jing was leading the army to attack the West City Gate, and now he was not in a hurry to attack the city, as long as he delayed the time.
And later, Li Yi will open the city gate and tie Xu Chuan out to surrender.
He was willing to use this method of easily breaking through the enemy's city with no effort.
In this way, there is no need to let their Chu army have any casualties, so why not?
"Hmph, Chu Feng, I think you still talk less nonsense here, there is a kind of letting the horse come over and attack the city!" Xu Ze narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Feng, his cheeks were full of anger, and he sneered, "What do you think...... I, Xu Ze, will be afraid of your defeat! ”
Xu Ze didn't take Chu Feng seriously at all.
As for what conspiracy Chu Feng was thinking about in his heart, although he didn't know it, he didn't bother to think about it.
It's just that after hearing Xu Ze's words, Chu Feng's eyeholes suddenly shrunk into a thin line, and he clenched his hands and fists angrily.
The four words "defeated by his subordinates" are like a spear stuck in his heart, which is a great shame for Chu Feng!
On weekdays, no one in the Chu State dared to mention it at all.
Now hearing these words again, Chu Feng's heart began to burn with anger.
