The tenth day of the seventh month of the first year of Great Qin II!

A touch of morning light began to appear in the easternmost sky, and the sky was finally about to dawn!

Countless blazing torches burned on the walls of Chengwu City, illuminating the entire city wall within fifty steps as if it were day!

The smoke of gunpowder mixed with the stench of burning the human body and the rich smell of blood filled the air, making people feel sick!

The city wall of Chengwu City, which was originally repaired and neatly renovated, is now full of traces of smoke and fire, many of the wall buttresses can be seen everywhere on the bricks of the city with traces of swords and axes, and in the broken aisles of the city wall, countless Qin soldiers with bandages or torn armor and traces of gunpowder smoke are lying on the ground in the muddy red aisles, holding the copper sword in their hands, or a strong crossbow, sleeping soundly!

The aisle was originally paved with sand and gravel to prevent the Xiangliang trebuchet from bouncing, which was originally scorched by a fire on the city wall, but now it has been soaked in thick blood, and the entire aisle of the city wall has become a blood-red swamp!

Since Xiang Liang withdrew his troops last night because of the arson of the Xuanniao Battalion, he has started a continuous and overwhelming attack on the small Chengwu City! It has been an uninterrupted attack for nearly five hours now!

The news that Xiang Zhuang was killed by Weng Zhong had already been reported to Xiang Liang at the dinner!

In these five hours of non-stop attack, Xiang Yu led the army to attack the south city wall, Long He replaced Xiang Zhuang, who had been killed by Weng Zhong, to lead the army to attack the west city wall, and Yingbu and Ji Bu replaced Sima Ang and Tian Du respectively, responsible for leading the army to attack the east city wall and the south city wall!

Xiang Yu, Long Ji, Yingbu and Ji Bu are all fierce generals. Every time they attack, the four of them will inevitably take the lead and personally hold a big shield to stare at the sky above the city wall, flying locusts and stray arrows, charging forward!

The actions of the four main generals greatly boosted the morale of the rebel soldiers! The most important thing is that Xiang Liang has already said that all the miscellaneous soldiers have withdrawn, and all of them are using Baiyue barbarians as the main force to attack the city!

Within five hours, Xiang Yu and the four of them climbed the city wall several times, especially Xiang Yu, basically they could definitely climb the city wall every time, if it wasn't for Weng Zhong to resist Xiang Yu's force, I am afraid that the southern city wall would have been captured by Xiang Yu in its entirety!

Even so, the southern wall was the place with the most casualties among the four walls! Because, all the people who followed Xiang Yu to attack the southern city wall were veterans of the Six Kingdoms! Fortunately, Du Teng, Xiahou Ying and Fan Xu are also strong in martial arts, and they are just opponents against Shanglong and Erbu!

Now these Qin soldiers lying on the ground have just driven Xiang Yu and a few people off the city wall! And this hard-won rest is the only time that Xiang Liang's army has stopped in these five hours, and it seems that they are also tired!

Under the city wall, large pieces of the corpses of Xiangliang rebel soldiers were piled up together, layer after layer, almost a foot high, burying the entire city wall!

There was silence inside Chengwu City, but there was a lot of noise outside the city! Obviously, Xiang Liang's army outside the city is stepping up the deployment of troops! When this short interval passes, I am afraid that the offensive will be even more fierce than before!

The rolling stones, the wood, and the oil in the city have long been used up! Including the crossbow bolts are gone! In the following hour, the soldiers of the Qin army were completely engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Xiang Liang rebels!

Hu Haishen walked in the aisle of the city wall with one foot and one foot shallow, and the brocade boots were completely stained with blood and mud and couldn't see the original appearance! Long Xuan and a few dragon guards followed him!

Cautiously stepping over a Qin soldier lying in the middle of the aisle, Hu Hai accidentally touched the bronze sword half in his arms and half on the ground when Hu Hai landed, and the Qin soldier who was sleeping immediately turned over.

"Enemy ......"

Hu Hai covered the mouth of the Qin soldier who was about to open his mouth and shout "enemy attack", and made a "shh However, even if Hu Hai's movements were fast enough, the word "enemy" still woke up the Qin soldiers who seemed to be sleeping soundly!

The soldiers of the Qin army, who were originally lying on the ground with weapons in their arms, jumped up one after another, ran to the tattered wall battlements with the weapons in their hands, and looked at them vigilantly!

"Lao Wang, you old boy is not authentic! When is it, you're still kidding! This traitor has finally rested, and I hope to squint for a while, and have enough spirit to hang a few more heads on my belt! Being troubled by you, how the fuck are you sleeping? A strong man whose movements did not match his body shape at all looked at the empty city wall and cursed!

"That's it, Lao Wang, you don't fucking talk about it, His Majesty the Emperor heard that he hasn't slept until now......" Next to the big man, a lean man turned around and scolded halfway, and then saw Hu Hai standing beside the aggrieved old Wang. The scolding stopped!

"See Your Majesty! Your Majesty forgives your sins! The thin man was so frightened that he quickly knelt on one knee and hugged his fists!

Hu Hai saw that the soldiers of the Qin army who were sleeping soundly around the city wall got up one after another because of this loud voice, and said secretly, yes, I still want to secretly come up to see how the soldiers on the city wall are doing! I didn't think about it, but I woke up these soldiers! I should have known that I should have listened to Long Xuan!

"No need to be polite! I'm just coming up to see you, and you go back to sleep, don't worry about me! Also, this is none of Lao Wang's business, I woke him up! Hu Hai saw that the Qin soldiers gathered around him were about to salute, and hurriedly stopped!

Hearing Hu Hai's words, the soldiers who got up sat on the ground again, but the excited eyes clearly told Hu Hai that it was estimated that no one would be able to fall asleep again!

"Your Majesty, why did you come up?"

At this time, Du Teng, who was in charge of the western city wall, received a report from his personal guards and hurriedly greeted him!

"I just wanted to come up and have a look. What about casualties? ”

As soon as the battle stopped, Hu Hai went straight to the city wall. So how many casualties did the Qin army suffer in these five hours, and he still received an exact message!

"Back to Your Majesty, the elite who followed Your Majesty to the north, now there are only more than 2,000 intact soldiers! And most of them are Xuanwu soldiers! The soldiers who died in battle include the 2,000 soldiers killed in the Heze Ancient Road, and there are already more than 12,000 people! ”

"What about the people of Chengwu?" Although Hu Hai, from the wounded soldiers who could be seen everywhere in the city, had expected that there would be heavy casualties, he just didn't expect it to be so heavy!

"Back to Your Majesty, more than 18,000 Chengwu soldiers and more than 3,000 old Qin soldiers were all killed! The rest of the Chengwu people counted nearly 13,000 casualties! A trace of sadness flashed in Du Teng's eyes, and he hesitated!

"In other words, there are less than 8,000 soldiers in the city who can still fight now?" Hu Hai was silent and said for a while!

"Your Majesty is relieved! Although our army suffered so many casualties, the casualties of Xiang Liang's thief army were at least three times that of our soldiers! Moreover, Xiang Liang's army must now have little siege equipment left! Du Teng comforted!

"I'm not worried about the destruction of the city! It's whether it's right or wrong for me to stop in this place! Hu Hai turned his head and held the slightly hot wall buttress with his hand, looked at the brightly lit Xiangliang camp from afar, and sighed!

"Your Majesty, now Xiang Liang's army should only have about 200,000 people to fight again! Now that two days have passed, as long as the Great General and General Han Xin can arrive in time, these rebels will inevitably be able to fight down, and the rebellion that ravaged Great Qin will definitely be swept away. Du Teng said excitedly!

"Yes! As long as Han Xin and Meng Tian are two armies, they can reach this Chengwu all the way! Xiang Liang is finished! "Hu Haimo is holding the potholed wall bricks, and the road is quiet!

At the same time, in Xiang Liang's big tent, there was a dispute!

"Uncle, as long as I give my nephew one more hour, I will definitely be able to lead the army to defeat this martial arts in one fell swoop! Take the head of the Dog Emperor and present it to your uncle! Xiang Yu knelt down on one knee with a sincere face and looked at Xiang Liang Dao!

Xiang Liang turned his back and said without looking back: "Nephew, you have already said this to your uncle no less than three times, right?" However, now this Chengwu City is still intact in the hands of the Qin army, and the banner of the Qin Emperor above the city has still not been pulled down by you! ”

In the end, Xiang Liang's voice gradually turned stronger!

"Uncle......

"Enough!" Xiang Liang turned around abruptly and interrupted Xiang Yu's words and said sharply! Xiang Liang seemed to calm the anger in his heart, and after a long while, he continued: "I know that you are eager to avenge Xiang Zhuang, and my uncle has transferred all 30,000 elite veterans to you to attack the city, but now, 30,000 veterans have been killed and wounded, more than 100,000 people of all ethnic groups in Baiyue, and nearly half of the casualties, how can you let your uncle transfer troops to you again?" Ji Bu and Long He were both injured, look at yourself again, how many rounds have you fought with the two of them? Have you ever been helpless against the Qin general?

You have also read the letter from Shouchun, and now the remaining army of more than 200,000 is the foundation of my Xiang clan, Xiang Yu! If there were no more than 200,000 soldiers, how would you let my Xiang clan gain a foothold in the Chu State? There is no need to mention the siege of the city, you quickly go to the hour to pack up, and the army will pull out the camp after an hour and return to Shouchun! After Xiang Liang finished speaking, he turned around and stopped looking at Xiang Yu!

Xiang Yu, who was dressed in tattered armor, stared at Xiang Liang's back with red eyes for a long time, and finally hung down dejectedly, and said respectfully: "My nephew obeys my uncle's orders!" ”

After speaking, Xiang Yu glared fiercely at Zhang Liang, who was sitting on the side of the big tent and laughing, and then got up and strode out of Xiang Liang's big tent!

"General, is it really decided?" Zhang Liang didn't seem to see Xiang Yu's glance, and when Xiang Yu left the tent, he muttered for a while and said!

"How credible is what Shou Chun's letter says?" Xiang Liang turned around and looked at Zhang Liang and said in a deep voice!

"If it's not bad, it's true!" Zhang Liang affirmed!

"Oh? Why is the ovary so certain? Xiang Liang said suspiciously!

"Did the general remember what the Xianyang man said in the letter?"

"Is the ovary talking about those twenty-one word gossip?"

"Exactly! If there were no twenty-one word rumors, I would definitely not believe the words in the Shouchun letter, but now it seems that the baby son is even more anxious than us! Zhang Liang said with a smile!
