Han Xin was silent for a long time, allowing Wang Jing to vent the grief and anger in his heart, until his face slowly calmed down before he said: "The matter has come to this point, if you go to Julu again, I am afraid that the northern army will really be wiped out." Don't talk about avenging your father, I'm afraid your royal family will be extinct from now on. ”

Wang Jing gritted his teeth and said slowly; "So what should I do?"

Han Xin was sad and indignant when he saw him at the beginning, and he was worried that he really didn't listen to his advice and insisted on going his own way, but when he began to think about it, he was relieved, knowing that Wang Jing had survived this hurdle.

"The northern army did not pour out of the nest in the south this time, there are still 80,000 troops in the north to guard against the Xiongnu, you still have 30,000 remnants here, plus my subordinates, we will temporarily retreat to the north, first gather the troops and then slowly plan it. Although Xiang Yu had won a great victory, there were still more than 200,000 troops of General Zhang Shang in the south, and the situation in Great Qin might not have reached the point of being out of control. ”

"Zhang Han, this dog thief, if he hadn't stood by and watched us being attacked by the rebels, how could our northern army have fallen to this. If this revenge is not avenged, I Wang Jing swears not to be a man! Wang Jing's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said.

Han Xin was silent, and he didn't know how to persuade Wang Jing. In fact, he wanted to say that if it was Wang Li, he would have watched from the wall.

Before the start of this decisive battle, the Qin army had already appeared with rifts that were difficult to fuse, and if they were replaced by other enemies, it might not be anything. It's a pity that their opponent is Xiang Yu, which is enough to become the fatal point of the Qin army.

Han Xin said softly; "Well, don't put your time on unnecessary anger, we're running out for time. It won't take long for Xiang Yu to get the news, and he will definitely come to hunt us down in person at that time, so we have to evacuate as soon as possible and go all the way north to Yanmen first. ”

"Okay." Wang Jing nodded violently, suddenly remembered something, and said; "We're going to have another trip to Yanyu."

Han Xin was stunned, Yan Yu was in the west, if he took a detour to go there, it would be delayed for a lot of time, so he asked puzzledly; "What are we going to do?"

"There's Kerr."

"Kerr!" Han Xin said in surprise; "Why is she there, didn't she stay in Skins?"

Wang Jing shook his head and said; "Father can't rest assured of her, you also know Kerr's character, if we leave Skin, she may do something. His Majesty has been on good terms with Ke'er since he was a child, and he is very concerned about this sister in his heart, so he sent someone to urge him three times and twice. Father simply took Ke'er with him to follow the army south, and left her in the camp a few days ago, thinking that he would send her back to Xianyang after the battle, who would have thought ......."

Han Xin's mind was thinking quickly, Yan Yu was in the west, half of Wang Jing's subordinates were foot soldiers, and most of them were wounded, if the army went together, they would definitely be caught up by Xiang Yu's cavalry on the road. Yan Yu is also the place where the baggage grain and grass of the Northern Army are located, and it is impossible for Xiang Yu not to send a large army to besiege it, presumably it is already besieging the city.

After a moment, he made up his mind and said to Wang Jing; "You retreat north with your men first, as quickly as possible. My subordinates are all cavalry, I'll go rescue Ke'er, and then go to Yanmen to meet you. ”

Wang Jing knew that this was not the time to be rash, so he nodded in agreement and said; "Tian Shi knows the shortcut to Yanyu, let him help you lead the way, his subordinates are also cavalry, and they can also help you."

Since time was precious, the two did not delay any longer, and the Qin army sounded the clarion call to assemble, and the soldiers gave up the pursuit of the coalition army and withdrew to the camp to regroup. The Qin army was divided into two, Han Xin led most of the cavalry of more than 13,000 horsemen to the west to aid the camp, and Wang Jing retreated north with the rest of the army.

******

The sound of killing outside the city was moving, even in the inner city, it could be faintly heard, and the maids around them were already looking at each other with panicked faces, wanting to escape but not knowing where to flee.

Ying Ke sat quietly in the hall, although his face was a little pale, he didn't see much panic. In fact, she has become indifferent to everything, what does the fate of this empire, the fate of this city, have to do with her?

The worst outcome is the destruction of the city. She already had a dagger in her hand, and she killed herself to save her innocence before the rebels were killed.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and an officer in armor rushed in stride, and said with an anxious face: "Princess, why are you still here, didn't I send someone to prepare a carriage and horses for you to prepare to escape?" Wang Li has disclosed Ying Ke's identity since Hu Hai's invitation, so it is not surprising that the guard general knows her identity.

Ying Ke smiled slightly, his smile was a little bleak, and said softly; "Escape, where can you flee? The city is besieged by rebels on all sides, what can you do if you get out of the city, but you still die in the chaos, what is the difference between this and dying in the city. ”

The officer looked ashamed, knelt down and said, "It's all humble and incompetent, which makes the princess frightened." Rest assured, princess, as long as you have a breath of humiliation, you will not be humiliated by the rebels. ”

Ying Ke stood up, gently helped him up, and said; "General Huangfu doesn't need to blame himself, you have resisted 50,000 rebels with a mere 8,000 garrisons, and you have already done your duty for my Great Qin. Helplessly, my Great Qin Qi is exhausted, and even my uncle can't protect himself, how can I blame you, General. ”

"Princess, please don't say that, my northern army is only a temporary defeat, we still have 100,000 elites in the north, and there are more than 200,000 troops of General Zhang Shang in the south, Guanzhong and Beidi are still firmly in the hands of my Great Qin, and they may not be able to turn the tables."

Ying Ke shook his head, but said no more. Her heart was already full of despair for this empire, thinking that when her father was on the throne, she looked at the world, how majestic! But less than two years after his father's death, the world has already eroded to this point.

It's not that the opponent is too strong, it's that they're already rotting inside, hopelessly rotten. Zhao Gao in the court is in power, the villain is in charge, and the loyal ministers and ministers have been punished, but her baby brother just blindly listened to Zhao Gao's slander, and even did not hesitate to execute all the eighteen brothers and sisters, from the bloodline of the first king, how can this not make the win chilling.

Even if the generals of Great Qin can win more battles, they are not going to be imprisoned and executed by Zhao Gao's slander. No matter how many victories the Qin army has, there are still inexhaustible rebels, but as long as it loses, the world will no longer be the Qin State of the Winning Clan.

Ying Ke looked up at the sky outside the hall, his eyes were a little confused, and he suddenly said; "General Huangfu, how long can we support it."

Huangfu Gui was shocked, lowered his head and whispered; "At most, it's late afternoon, and the rolling stones in the city have been exhausted, and more than half of the soldiers have been lost."

Win Ke nodded and said; "I want the general to accompany me to the castle tower to watch the battle, I haven't seen the war scene when I'm so old."

Huangfu Gui was taken aback, and quickly shook his head; "Princess, what are you kidding, the arrows and feathers on the city tower have no eyes, if you are a little careless, then even if you die, you will be to blame."

Win Ke said in a firm tone; "You don't need to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind. Since hiding in the city is also difficult to escape death, why not live and die with the soldiers of Daqin, and die like a princess of Daqin. ”

Ying Ke raised his head proudly, "Let all the soldiers know that the daughter of the First Emperor is fighting side by side with them, and my Ying clan has never retreated when the country is in trouble." ”

The arrows on the city wall are like flying locusts, the sound of killing under the city is moving, and the continuous coalition army is like ants climbing on the city wall with the help of ladder ropes, and the defenders throw down rolling stones from time to time, smashing the heads of the coalition troops on the city wall and bleeding, screaming and falling.

It was Xiang Yu's general Long Yu who was attacking the city, and he was looking at Yan Yucheng not far away with a gloomy face, and his heart was extremely annoyed. Xiang Yu gave him nearly 10,000 Chu troops, as well as 40,000 Zhao troops, as well as cloud ladders and rushing cars captured from the Qin army, but he still did not capture the city for half a day.

This is undoubtedly equivalent to a resounding slap in the face to the conceited dragon, thinking that Yingbu, Zhong Liwei, Lu Chen and others are all outstanding in battle, but he is the only dragon who stops in this area under the city. Thinking of this, Long Ji's heart was full of anger, he gritted his teeth and looked at Yan Yucheng, waved his gun and pointed at the city wall and roared; "Order the three armies, press them all! Those who advance are rewarded, and those who retreat are killed! After the city is broken, live happily for three days! ”

Xiang Yu was a hero in his life, but there was one thing that made later generations criticize, that is, whenever he defended the city without surrendering, he would rape and plunder after breaking through the city, and called it 'happy for three days', which means that everything he did in these three days will not be investigated, and all order will be restored to normal after three days.

This can indeed greatly arouse the fanaticism of the soldiers to attack the city, and can make the weak-willed people of the Qin State defend the city look down on the wind, but at the same time, it can also make the people who defend the city more firmly believe in defending the city.

After Long He promised to live happily for three days, the Chu army and the Zhao army suddenly erupted into great fanaticism. Yan Yucheng is the heavy grain and grass camp of the Northern Army, there must be no shortage of property in it, and there is a population of tens of thousands in the city, and there must be no shortage of women, which makes this group of grassroots soldiers how can they not be moved.

The pressure on the city increased greatly for a while, and the already precarious defense line was even more stretched, and this city was the city of the old Zhao, and the residents of the city did not hate the Qin people, let alone expect them to mobilize the people to help the Qin army defend the city.

Long He looked at the city wall with great ambition, and was full of confidence that he would be able to capture Yan Yu immediately, but suddenly saw a fiery figure appear on the high watchtower of the main city tower. I couldn't help but be stunned, but when I looked closely, it was a beautiful girl.

The sunlight shines through the cracks in the castle tower and reflects on the flawless face of Ying Ke's white jade, which is as clear as it is. Win Ke's long eyelashes trembled slightly, staring at the soldiers on both sides who were fighting selflessly under him, a fiery red cavalry like a flame, so eye-catching on this battlefield of iron and blood. Gradually, the soldiers on both sides not far away slowed down the fighting, and they all looked at the victory of the heavenly maiden on the city tower with wide eyes.

Huang Bo Gui took advantage of the situation to kneel down and chanted; "Her Royal Highness the Princess, Chitose Chitose, Chitose!"

The soldiers around him bowed down one after another, and shouted in the city; "Princess Chitose, Long live Daqin." When the guards of the city saw that the beautiful princess was guarding the city with them, their morale was greatly boosted, and they all moved forward bravely and were unwilling to be defeated, and they were afraid that the princess would see his cowardice.

Long Ji's eyes under the city seemed to burst into flames, he stared closely at Ying Ke on the city tower, listening to Qin Ren call her princess, the desire in his body quickly swelled, swelled to the extreme. He wanted to have this beautiful woman, and only such a beautiful and noble woman was worthy of him.

He raised his spear and roared; "Take down Yan Yu, capture the princess of Qin alive, and kill." After saying that, Zongma personally led the troops to rush up.

Ying Ke stood quietly on top of the city tower, with no expression on his delicate face at all. Looking at the arrows and feathers covering the sky and the sun under them, listening to the deafening sound of killing in their ears, under the city walls were the excited screaming coalition soldiers, they had already seen the hope of breaking the city.

The whole city is like a lonely boat in the storm of the sea, and it is only a matter of time before it capsizes. But Ying Ke's eyes were still as calm as water, as if all this was something that had nothing to do with her.

Her gaze fell on the face of Huang Bo Gui, the not young lieutenant who was carefully guarding her with a knife to prevent stray arrows from flying and hurting the princess. A burst of loss suddenly swelled in Ying Ke's heart, if it was Han Xin who was guarding her with a knife at the moment, how good it would be to be able to die with her beloved. Isn't it also a kind of happiness?

Her gaze slowly moved over the battlefield of the fierce battle, looking at the white clouds on the edge of the sky. The white clouds change in various shapes under the reflection of the sun, sometimes like a quiet elk, and sometimes like a galloping horse.

She suddenly remembered that the first time she rode a horse, her father laughed and helped her onto the horse, and at that time she was not afraid of falling off the horse at all. I remembered that Han Xin stood in front of her horse with a smile and held the horse rope for her, and told Ying with a smile that she didn't have to be afraid, he would always protect her.

And at this moment, she is the only one to face it.

Ying Ke's eyes were a little confused, and he suddenly saw a black color appear in the sky.

Is it a dark cloud? Is it going to rain again? Winning can be a little confused.

The black line became thicker and thicker, gradually condensing into a dark cloud, and Huangfu Gui beside him had already shouted in surprise; "Princess, it's reinforcements, reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming."

Tears welled up in Ying Ke's eyes, and she seemed to see Han Xin at the forefront of the team, leading thousands of troops to rescue her and rescue his Ke'er. She was sure, very sure, it must be Han Xin, it must be her big brother Han who came to save her.

Long Ji also discovered that the Qin army was coming, and quickly withdrew his soldiers to form a layer of defense, although he was caught off guard by the Qin army, but it did not collapse the whole army.

Han Xin's cavalry had been fighting and galloping fiercely for a day and a night, and they were already sleepy and lacking in strength. Although he relied on his unexpected advantage to slam the rear of the dragon and the void, it only caused chaos in the dragon and the army, and did not pass directly as expected.

Han Xin took the lead, and Hotan City and Zhao Wuji each led the army to form three sharp arrows, slammed the Chu-Zhao coalition army, gritted his teeth and broke through the coalition army's defense line layer after layer, but finally stopped in front of the last line of defense, and turned into a stalemate. Han Xin's spear protruded from left to right, and everywhere he went, he screamed, but his heart was very anxious.

He knew in his heart that his subordinates were already exhausted, and if they could not defeat the coalition army by surprise, then the fate that awaited them would be surrounded and annihilated by a large number of enemy forces!

Long and worthy of being a famous general, he quickly discovered the fatigue of this Qin army, and quickly led the rear army to outflank Han Xin's two wings, wanting to use the number of people to consume this tired army, the situation of the Qin army suddenly turned around and was precarious.

'Boom... Boom...."The war drums suddenly sounded, and the sound of war drums from the distant city wall was like a rushing torrent, which was breaking through all obstacles and rushing to the sea with an unstoppable momentum, and it was like a ball of mercury falling to the ground, which was the fierce war drum that boosted morale in the Qin army!

Above the high castle tower, a fiery red figure was beating the drum vigorously, like a jumping bright red flame, and like a bewitching blooming thorn flower. Win Ke didn't know when she placed a war drum on the city tower, and was struggling to beat the Qin army snare drum that her father had taught her.

A rapid drum beat seemed to hit the hearts of the soldiers of the Qin army, and all the soldiers were moved by it and their blood was boiling!

Han Xin's eyes were full of fire. He raised his spear and roared; "Old Qin, go to the national disaster together!"

"Why don't the Qin people die in battle!"

Thousands of roars converged into a loud roar, converging into a sky-high battle cry: Kill!
