Under the city of Xingyang.

Liu Bang's camp is shrouded in a fog, the early morning is coming, the soldiers patrolling the camp are also hiding in the corner of the shelter, in this cold weather, the patrol camp is a bitter can not be harder to be hard, if possible, these soldiers most hope to sit around the fire in the tent, warm a pot of good wine, nibble on a soft corn, this day can be regarded as comfortable.

Baggage battalion.

Xiao He looked at the grain that was piled up like a hill with a complicated expression, his hands shrunk in the cloth robe were trembling slightly, and beside him, Lu Juan had a relaxed expression, and he was holding a lit torch in his hand.

"Lao Xiao, don't be reluctant, as long as we take Xingyang City, it's not as much as you want?" Lu Juan said with a grin.

Xiao He sighed: "These grains are not easy to come by, and it is always a pity that they are burned like this." ”

Lu Juan shook his head and sneered: "What if you don't burn it, if you don't burn those people who eat idle food, you can work hard, if you want me to say, Pei Gong's method is really clever, this fire is together, as long as it is spread that Qin Dog attacked the camp and burned the grain, those soldiers will not attack the city with red eyes and spare their lives, and when the time comes, if the city is down, everything will be easy to say; If you don't take it down, you won't have so much to eat. ”

Lu Juan said, raised his hand and threw it, and the torch drilled into the grain pile, and after a while, a raging fire ignited, reflecting the half round of sunrise on the horizon.

"Qin Dog has robbed the camp, brothers, fight with them!"

"If there is no food, we will go to the city and rob it, kill it!"

"Wind, gale!"

Liu Jun's generals were excited, and under the encouragement of Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, Li Shang and other generals, a group of soldiers with blood-red eyes and swords in their hands quickly lined up and rushed towards the root of the dark city wall of Xingyang.

Three days of bloody fighting.

Xingyang Chengheng changed hands several times, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

After the first two siege battles, the moat outside Xingyang City has been buried in several places by the sand, and the ruthless Liu Jun generals rushed to the city from the sand and soil filled in the Yongdao under the urging of the generals, and then set up a cloud ladder to go to the city first, Cao Shen, Guan Ying and even Zhou Bo, all went to the front line to command the battle.

If you don't win, you will be defeated, obviously, Liu Bangjun also knows that this time the siege is their chance. If you win, you will eat meat in large pieces and drink wine in large bowls, and if you lose, you will have nothing and flee in embarrassment.

Liu Bang was originally a gambler, and this time Li Yuan took millet from the fire and stole Xingyang from his jihua, which made Liu Bang, who had always only taken advantage and rarely missed, angry. Liu Bang, who was in a rage, broke out with a rare and rare fierceness, he actually used the first military rations, and the newly integrated Liu Bang army was almost not trained in formation, and was put into the Chengheng meat grinder by Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and others.

The oil is soaked and burned, igniting the sky-high fire; The ignited timbers mixed with the heat of the fall were suddenly pushed down, making Liu Jun's soldiers, who had no time to dodge, wail.

"What are you howling about, press it on me, Qin Gou can't hold it anymore!" Guan Ying roared angrily, this time, Guan Ying grabbed the first task of attacking the north gate before Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and other generals. Guan Ying is very eager, Xingyang Cao participated in the attack twice and did not win, if he entered the city in one fell swoop this time, then the credit and record are among the generals of Liu Jun, and he is the first general.

At the urging of the Bush Baby, the Bush soldiers advanced like ants along the five or six stairs made of rough wood leaning against the city wall, and one soldier was pushed down, and the other followed. Even if one of the soldiers was swept away by hot oil and rolling logs, the other team behind quickly took over the task of taking the lead until they were also killed by the city guards.

Under the high-intensity attack and defense of the city, the pressure on the guards is getting bigger and bigger, Liu Bang has no intention of being opportunistic this time, and after discussing with the generals under his command, Liu Bang's attack showed a momentum of ambition at the beginning.

Of the nearly 50,000 coalition troops, there are only less than 20,000 people under the command of Liu Bangyan, and the rest are the troops of some miscellaneous small princes.

Taking advantage of the lack of Liliang in Xingyang, let the young men who have not undergone much training and just shout a few times with wooden sticks become real soldiers, and they must see the blood, and after one or two tragic battles that are enough for the young men to die, they will never forget.

As for how much he lost, how could there be no dead in the war, and how many people would die, Liu Bang didn't care, and was even very proud, because after more than half a month of confrontation, Liu Jun's grain supply had begun to be tight.

Originally, the grain intercepted from Yang Xiong's army had been almost consumed, and in the past few days, Liu Jun's baggage mainly relied on supplies collected from the occupied counties in Dangjun and Dongjun, which was quite a great pressure on Liu Bang. Now, a fire burned the little savings that Liu Jun had left, and the soldiers of Liu Jun, who had no thoughts, howled in despair, pinning their hopes of survival on the siege of the city.

Xingyang City.

This big granary is undoubtedly the most haode testing ground for Liu Jun's generals, no matter whether they win or lose, Liu Jun's generals who come out of blood and fire will be a liliang that cannot be underestimated.

I have to admit that Liu Bang's actions are old and spicy enough, the strong man is suffocating, and he is extremely decisive, and he is caught off guard by Li Yuan, if Li Yuan had the slightest paralysis before, Liu Jun is estimated to be in the city at this time.

――。

Spear in hand.

Beads of blood splattered, and the corpses of the enemy were picked up and dropped on the top of the city.

Li Yuan glanced at Chengheng, only to see the dense Liu soldiers rushing up like ants, the two sides were engaged in a tragic battle at the battlements, and from time to time the brave Liu soldiers jumped out of the city, waving the weapons in their hands to try to win space for the companions behind to stand.

Li Yuan did not take off his armor, his gun did not leave his hand, and personally led Li Bi and Cao Xin's personal barracks to fight on the front line of the North Gate, although he was already the commander of an army, and his safety was all about it, but Li Yuan was still more accustomed to treating himself as an ordinary soldier, as a small corporal in the army of later generations.

Using little by little efforts to support the confidence of the soldiers and using their own actions to win the support of the soldiers, this is what Li Yuan has been doing.

Cao Xin and Li Bi were surprised. I was amazed by Li Yuan's desire and persistence for victory, and I was amazed by Li Yuan's style of being a pioneer. At first, he just thought that Li Yuan was acting like a show at the beginning, but he didn't expect that Li Yuan was really like a low-level officer in the Qin army, leading a team of elite soldiers to rush left and right.

Blood boils in the chest, and glory rises in the heart.

"Great Qin, Great Qin!" The guards of the Qin army, who were panting heavily, shouted desperately, and used all their strength to knock down the enemy soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city under the city.

"Porphyry, porpo, porphy!" The sound of the rapid continuous shooting of the crossbow was mixed with the shouting, which was not eye-catching, but the result of the battle was eye-catching, in the place occupied by Liu Jungang, the Qin army's dense crossbows were nailed to the Liu soldiers who were only wearing cloth clothes like locusts, and immediately screamed again and again, and the corpses were everywhere.

Four hundred crossbowmen selected from Zhao Ben's army, plus crossbows and arrows brought from the Xingyang Mansion treasury to destroy nearly 10,000 enemy soldiers, this long-range strike elite wiped out the enemy soldiers who poured up one after another at the gap one by one under Chen Ping's supervision.

The rows of machine crossbows, coupled with the use of three-stage strikes, made the machine crossbows a powerful weapon "crossbow gun" to deal with dense formations in the Qin era under the specific conditions of defending the city.

Even the bravest soldier can only do nothing in the face of overwhelming arrows.
