With less than 50,000 troops, it was impossible for Weng Zhong Xuanwu to surround the huge capital of Chu State. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info╔╗ Weng Zhong's main attack is still only one direction, the west city wall of Shouchun. For the rest of the three city gates, Weng Zhong only sent a few scouts to roam outside.

Not long after the messengers of the Chu army went out of the city to ask for help, Wu Rui, Zhaotong and others, who had been guarding the city wall, received a report from the soldiers defending the city and found that a large army had crossed the river downstream of Shouchun.

Zhaotong, Qu Ping, Wu Rui and others, who received the news, hurriedly waited for the east city wall to look into the distance.

Although I can't see it clearly, I can still vaguely see that in the lower reaches of the Huai River, which is about ten miles away from Shouchun, there are a large number of shadows densely spread throughout the Huai River, and the foremost shadows are almost close to the shore.

Obviously, there are a large number of soldiers crossing the river!

Zhaotong and Jinggong who saw this scene were all overjoyed.

In their opinion, this must be Xiang Liang received the news that he returned to the division from the north bank of the Huai River to rescue Shouchun. Wu Rui was happy in her heart, but for some reason, there was always an uneasiness in her heart.

Seeing Xiang Tong, who was sent to various city walls to spread the word that the great general Xiang Liang had led hundreds of thousands of troops on the way back to Shouchun, Wu Rui's mouth opened, but he finally swallowed back the words of persuasion that came to his mouth. ╔╗

Now it is rumored that it is Xiang Liang's army, if you wait until the army arrives and finds that it is not Xiang Liang's army, but Qin's reinforcements, then I am afraid that the blow to the Shouchun army and civilians will not be able to withstand it.

Although Wu Rui didn't think that the Qin army could really wipe out Xiang Liang's 300,000 troops in just one moment. However, the Qin army that Xiang Liang expected to go south from Wuguan would not reach Shouchun until at least seven or even ten days later, but it was already under Shouchun City yesterday.

So what is it impossible for the Qin army to go south from Hangu Pass not to reach the north bank of the Huai River in advance?

Wu Rui didn't know, so he could only pray that the Qin army on the north bank of the Huai River would really be as Xiang Liang thought, and it would take a few minutes to arrive.

Similarly, Wu Rui knew very well that the reason why Zhaotong and the others allowed themselves to deploy the army of Shouchun City yesterday was entirely for the need to defend the city. Because there is no one in the three clans of Zhaoqu Jing who knows how to lead a war at all.

Wu Rui has always been very correct in his position, and he knows very well the root of the dispute between Xiang Liang and Zhao Qu Jing. ╔╗It can be expected that if he speaks out to dissuade him at this time, he will inevitably provoke Zhaotong and Jinggong to be unhappy.

The army that crossed the river was only ten miles away from Shouchun, and when the army crossed the Huai River, it would be possible to reach Shouchun in half an hour at most. Whether it is the Qin army or the Chu army, it will be clear in a moment.

The news that the general Xiang Liang was about to arrive in Shouchun did not take long for it to spread to all the Chu troops defending the city, and it was spreading rapidly in Shouchun City. When the government and the opposition of the Chu State heard the news, they were all overjoyed.

The Chu army defending the city, which had been tormented by the Xuanwu army's continuous harassment and rain of arrows for more than ten hours, couldn't help but cheer after hearing that the army of the great general Xiang Liang was about to arrive in Shouchun. The morale that was originally low rose in an instant.

Xiongxin, the king of Chu who has been hiding in the palace of the king of Chu since the Qin army came to the city, after hearing the news of the return of the general Xiang Liang to the division, he also climbed the city wall in high spirits and appeared in person to boost morale.

Who is the real principal of the Chu State, in fact, everyone knows it. Although the three clans of Zhaoqu Jing are still very energetic, compared to Xiang Liang, who holds the vast majority of military power, it is impossible for them to compete with Xiang Liang.

In troubled times, soldiers are king. ╔╗

Xiong Xin knows this very well, there are many people in the Xiang clan who have entered Xiang Liang and asked Xiang Liang to replace the king of Chu, and Xiong Xin has already received some rumors. If Xiong Xin is still the mentality when he was shepherding sheep, he should be very satisfied to be the king of Chu, and when Bi Jing was shepherding sheep, his greatest hope was to be able to eat a full meal. And now that he has become the king of Chu, every time he dies, he has every beautiful food, and every sè is beautiful, and his mentality has gradually changed.

There is no end to the hope of entering.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. Contentment is always happy, it is well said, but how many can really do it?

Xiong Xin is like this now, he doesn't want to live a poor life like before. He was unwilling to lose his position as King of Chu. Since I don't want to lose. So first of all, he needs to please, except for Xiang Liang, there seems to be no other entry.

The arrival of the king of Chu made the morale of the Chu army defending the city reach its peak in an instant. The shouts of the mountains and the tsunami-like cheers spread to the four fields.

Xiong Xin had never enjoyed such treatment, and his head was hot, and he had the courage to climb the west city wall.

And it seems that in order to echo the return of Xiang Liang's army, the Qin army, which had been disturbing constantly, retreated quietly when the cheers on the city wall just sounded. ╔╗

This seems to confirm the news of Xiang Liang's army returning to the division from the side.

Seeing the Qin army like this, even Wu Rui, who was still a little doubtful in his heart, believed that it was indeed Xiang Liang's army that crossed the river downstream.

Soon, under the order of Xiong Xin, the king of Chu, the Chu army in Shouchun City had already begun to plan how to cooperate with Xiang Liang and leave all the bold Qin troops in Chu.

The advantages of the Qin army's armament, in a short period of time, are enough for the Chu State to see from top to bottom. Compared with the weapons of the Qin army, the strong crossbows sent by the South Vietnamese side are simply scum.

Destroy this tens of thousands of Qin troops, and those powerful weapons will naturally be in hand. With these Jing Liang armor and weapons, the strength of the Chu State would immediately increase by several grades.

All the Chu troops are equipped with such sharp weapons, what else can they fight for?

At this moment, in the eyes of the elated Chu army, the camp of the Qin army outside Shouchun City that fell into dead silence was undoubtedly a gloomy and bleak scene. ╔╗

All the people in the Chu State did not notice that since the morning, the Qin army scouts who were originally only a small number of people roaming the other three gates of Shouchun had unconsciously increased several times.

Just when all the Chu troops were fantasizing about how to kill these Qin troops who were still showing off their might in front of Xiang Liang's army after they arrived at Shouchun, the door of the Qin army's camp, which had been silent, suddenly opened.

A column of cavalrymen whose whole bodies, including the war horses under their hips, were wrapped in pitch-black armor like those pulled out of hell, and slowly walked out of the open camp gate amid the sound of uniform rumbling horses' hooves.

As these countless Chu troops had never seen the appearance of ghostly cavalry, the chanting gradually stopped on the Shouchun city wall, which had been chanting constantly, and finally fell into a dead silence.

Half an hour later, in front of the entire Qin army camp, a large torrent of black steel that could not see the edge at all stood silently above the open space under the city wall from the Qin army camp to Shouchun.

Countless pitch-black and clear armor, under the dazzling but not blazing sun, reversely shè into the dazzling brilliance that cannot be seen directly. At this moment, even the radiant sun hanging high above his head seemed to be dim.

On the west city wall of Shouchun, more and more people climbed the city wall, quietly looking at the hideous cavalry of the Qin army who suddenly appeared and didn't know what to do. Every time I entered, I consciously lightened my breath, as if I was afraid that if I inhaled louder, it would provoke the counterattack of the steel torrent under the city wall.

It was a war horse made entirely of steel, and although he had not seen its power, he did not doubt that he could crush everything that appeared in front of him.

What appeared outside the camp of the Qin army was the 20,000 heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army. It was only 20,000, but it gave the Chu army in Shouchun City a feeling of thousands of troops and horses.

"Woooooo

The vast and simple and long sound of the horn suddenly came out from the camp of the Qin army. In this dead silence, it is particularly high-pitched.

The black steel torrent that had been standing still outside the Qin army's camp suddenly moved at the moment when the horn sounded.

The torrent of steel, from static to dynamic, is extremely smooth, without the slightest sense of abruptness.

The rolling roar of the landslide and the ground cracked resounded throughout the earth at the moment when the heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army moved. In the tremor of the earth and the sky, the cavalry of the Qin army, which was divided into two towards the northern and southern walls of Shouchun, formed a rolling torrent of black sè, bringing up boundless dust, and the speed became faster and faster.

In the black torrent on both sides, in the boundless dust rolled up, there was a black brocade banner fluttering high. The positive zhongyāng of the banner is a turtle body snake-tailed beast with countless spikes on its back, an ancient desolate beast, Xuanwu!

With the movement of the cavalry of the Qin army, the Chu army on Shouchun City also saw the number of the Qin army, which was less than 20,000. However, the cavalry of the Qin army, which was less than 20,000 entered, gave all the Chu troops the feeling of facing the charge of hundreds of thousands of cavalry.

The roar of horses' hooves lasted for two cups of tea before it stopped.

When the sound of horses' hooves stopped, outside the three gates in the north and southeast of Shouchun City, there was a black-armored cavalry of the Qin army with a number of about 5,000. Five thousand cavalry did not seem to be able to pose a threat to any Chu army at all, of course, that was to remove the armor on their horses.

Outside the west gate, in front of the Qin army's camp, a cavalry of 5,000 people wrapped in fine armor also appeared.

Shouchun Castle is surrounded!

All of them couldn't guess what Qin Jun was going to do. Could it be that Qin Jin hasn't gotten the news that Xiang Liang's army has returned to Shishou Chun? Thinking of this, the cavalry of the Qin Army, which was originally hideous and terrifying in the eyes of the Chu State, instantly dropped to the bottom of the pit in an instant.

Qin Jin's generals were too arrogant. Thousands of cavalry wanted to surround Shouchun City, which had more than 100,000 soldiers!

After the cavalry of the Qin army surrounded Shouchun, they no longer made any moves, and just stood quietly outside the various city gates, as if waiting for orders!

More than an hour later, a long procession appeared less than five miles east of Shouchun. On the banner fluttering in the air, a huge "item" word is shining in the sun and is clearly visible!

The cavalry of the Qin army outside the east city wall suddenly moved when they saw the big banner with the word!
