After listening to what the man said, Wang Peng raised his head and moved his gaze to the army, but saw that the man's tiger eyes, dragon eyebrows and beard were all white, wearing a dragon crown, wearing a red brocade robe on the back of a golden armor, a sweaty horse on his crotch, holding an eight-foot-long golden scale sword from the King of Qin, and a silver jue sword hanging on his waist.

"It turned out that the old general was coming, and the last general was disappointed, please forgive the old general" Wang Peng walked forward quickly and bowed in front of the man's horse and said.
It turned out that the general's name was Wang Qian, a veteran of the Qin State, who still had the strength of a thousand arms when he was more than half a hundred years old, and his wisdom was far beyond ordinary people.
After Wang Jian followed Wang Peng into the city, he entered the council hall and called the generals to listen to the order, and after instructing the general, Fang Jun stayed in the city to personally lead Wang Peng and other generals and 30,000 troops to conquer the remnants of Chen Ji's army in the city.
Tanma has already reported into Lincheng, everyone did not expect the Qin army to move so fast, Han Chao said to Chen Ji: "General, according to the last general, we are defending the city on the one hand, and asking for help from all sides in the north and south, this Lincheng is also dangerous to defend, the city is four zhang high and two battles wide, surrounded by water on three sides, and there are 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city for half a year, which is enough to fight to the death with the Qin army."
Before Han Chao's words fell, he saw a rain of arrows shooting towards the city tower, and more than 100 military academies in the city hurriedly fell to the ground, because the city wall was too high, the more than 100 arrows were nailed to the city wall and did not hurt anyone.
Chen Jian knew that the Qin army had been killed under the city of Lincheng, so he ordered thousands of soldiers to climb the city tower to prepare for defense, and the city set up a bow to wait for the shooting, only to see Wang Jian under the city rode alone to the front of the drawbridge, Wang Jian shouted: "Wang Jian, the former general of the Qin State, called General Chen to answer the city."
"General Chen, the last time we met was a few years ago in the Great War, when the old man was very appreciative of the general's martial arts, although I took your six cities but I was disappointed because I didn't get the general, now my army of 100,000 besieged the city for fear that the jade in the city will be burned before calling the general to answer, whether to surrender or not, I want to think twice" Wang Jian saw Chen Jian riding a horse and ran out of the city, and said to him.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, old general, you are old, is it a bad memory or a bad eye, according to my exploration of the horse, you attacked my city of soldiers and horses are only 30,000 where did the 100,000 troops come from, and I have been running the city for several years, and there are 50,000 men with armor in this city can also support half a year, and then look at this city is four battles high and two battles wide, I should do my best to defend it, you must not say anything more" Chen Ji laughed after giving a salute on the horse.
Wang Peng, who was behind him, saw that Chen Jian was in a tired state, and rushed towards him, and Han Chao on the city tower saw that he was afraid that the main general would lose, and hurriedly jumped on the horse and brandished a double whip to fight Wang Peng, and the two fought to thirty rounds without winning or losing, at this time, the sound of gold sounded in the Qin army's array, and the two sides went back.
"I was just about to capture this person just now, why did the general Mingjin" Wang Peng said to Chen Ji.
"I have just seen that this city is as high as he said, four battles wide and two battles, and it is surrounded by water on three sides, and I just saw that there are flags in the city, as if there are tens of millions of soldiers and horses, if we attack the city strongly, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses, let me think about the strategy again," Wang Jian said.
At this time, suddenly lightning and thunder raindrops fell, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and it became a downpour for a while, and it turned out that March and April were in the rainy season
"The generals listened to the order and ordered Li Xin to lead 1,000 troops to build a canal 30 miles outside the city of Lincheng to connect the water, and the soldiers and horses rose at night and rested during the day, Ling Chuan led four teams with a total of 1,000 people to take turns calling for battle day and night, and Wang Peng led 3,000 soldiers and horses to build small ships," Wang Jian ordered.
Wang Peng, Ling Chuan, and Li Xin led the soldiers to act according to the plan, and in just a few days, Wang Peng used the existing materials to build more than 300 large and small bamboo rafts and wooden boats, and the canal in Lingchuan was about to be completed, and the waterway connecting the water was to be opened.
However, it was said that Li Xin led his troops to Lincheng City to challenge and harass the Zhao army day and night, and Chen Jian knew that it was Wang Jian who commanded the army, and he was afraid that he would make another conspiracy, so he ordered not to go to war.
After a few days, all the generals in the city were gearing up and couldn't wait to prepare for the battle, Han Chao saw that General Qin only sent a small part of the troops to challenge, so he walked into the county government and said to Chen Ji: "General, now Wang Jian only sent a small number of soldiers to challenge under the city, it is better for me to lead three thousand soldiers and horses to test it, if there is no ambush, you can take advantage of this to kill their sharpness, if there is an ambush, you can also use the terrain to deal with it calmly."
"No, Wang Jian is scheming and scheming, and now he only sends a small part of his troops to call the battle, just to lure the enemy into the depths, now this rain is endless, the rainy season has come, and soon the Qin army is afraid that the Qin army will withdraw because of the poor supply in the rainy weather, let's hold on to the city for a few more days" Chen Jian shook his head and said.
"General, Lincheng is located on the plain, and the Qin army has many cavalry, which makes them have a great advantage, so it is better to divide all the cavalry to me, I will camp outside the city and Lincheng will be horns and horns," Wen Ye suggested to Chen Ji.
Chen Yu stroked the sheathed sword placed on the desk with one hand, and still hesitated with the other hand holding his head.
"General, general, just reported that the Qin army has built a canal thirty miles outside the city and connected it to the water, this, I'm afraid the Qin army is about to release water to flood the city" Fang Yin ran in and said breathlessly.
Before the words fell, I only heard the "boom" flood poured into the city like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, and the city wall was washed away in several places in an instant, and many soldiers rushed to flee for their lives, and then a burst of locust-like feathered arrows shot towards the city tower, and everyone in the chaos on the city tower only ran for their lives, and no one thought of fighting back, and after a while, the garrison on the city tower collapsed.
Wang Peng commanded ten bamboo rows loaded with gunpowder and oil to rush to the city gate in a small boat, after the city gate was blown open, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Qin army rushed into the city with boats, Diao Feng and Fang Dao immediately took more than 2,000 people from the left and right guards who fled back to block the Qin army, but many Zhao soldiers were shot to death in the water before they could get close to the Qin boat, and many people swam to the side of the Qin ship and were stabbed to death by the iron nail plate nailed to the ship.
Wang Jian led the rest of the military horses into the city, was met on the horseback to escape Han Chao chased in a wooden boat, Han Chao found Wang Qian's attempt to clamp the horse's belly with his legs and turned back to whip back, a whip broke the wooden oar in Wang Qian's hand, there was a whip to beat the two soldiers next to Wang Jian into the water, Wang Jian was furious, stood up and danced Jin Lin Dadao to greet him, the two fought less than 20 Han Chao did not dare to fall in love with the horse and galloped into the inner city.
When he arrived in the inner city, Chen Ji tapped the centaur but there were less than a thousand people left, Chen Ji saw that the river outside was almost dyed red, and most of the corpses floating on the water were his own people, and he gasped.
"It seems that this Lincheng can't hold it, my Lincheng army of more than 200,000 people is less than 1,000 people left in the end, and there is no way to return to the sky if you have the intention to kill the thief," Chen Yu shouted up.
"General, I've lost a few cities and broken so many soldiers and horses, I'm afraid the king won't be able to save his head if he blames him," Fang Yin said as he thrust his short brother into the ground.
"General, think about it quickly, the inner city has already entered the water, and it will soon be broken by the Qin army," Cao Wo ran up from the city tower and said to Chen Ji.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a mountain named Dunshan in the southwest less than a few hundred miles away from here, this Dunshan can be attacked and defended within a radius of dozens of miles, I am now defeated here, and there is no way out, it is better to throw Dunshan and fall into the grass," Chen Yu looked at the city and said to everyone.
All the generals agreed, but Wen Ye and Han Chao disagreed, but neither of them said anything but discussed a few words in a low voice.
Everyone led the soldiers and horses with two horses to drag the door panel loaded with fire oil to open the way out of the inner city, Li Xin saw that he hurriedly led the army to block, when the Qin army surrounded the two door panels with hundreds of people, Chen Ji ignited the fire oil with a rocket, and the generals were burned in the panic together, and finally went out of the city to the direction of Wangdun Mountain, Wen Ye and Han Chao were at the back of the military horses, and after a while, they broke away from everyone Wangyi An and went to Li Mu.
Here, Liu Xiang successfully captured two cities all the way to the siege, and Qian Fei, the general of the Qin army, personally led the army to conquer. If you want to know how Liu Xiang fought Qian Fei, please see the next breakdown.
