"Congring" There was a crisp sound of gold and stone handover, and a feather arrow shot at Xiang Yu like a meteor, and was swept away by Xiang Yu's sword. Wang Qi had come back to his senses, and took advantage of this rare opportunity to flee to the edge of the inner wall, Xiang Yu wanted to step forward to make up for it, but was blocked by layers of Qin troops.

Xiang Yu's pupils dilated instantly, and he saw that a horse was galloping on the street not far from the city gate, and the knight on the horse was still holding a longbow, and it was obvious that the feather arrow that saved Wang Qi's life just now was shot by him. Although there was still some distance away, Xiang Yu recognized it at a glance as Han Xin, who had been lost for a long time.

Xiang Yu couldn't help but be awe-struck in his heart, this Han letter came so quickly.

Now that Han Xin has arrived, it must be that the reinforcements of the Qin army are not far away. Xiang Yu knew that the opportunity was fleeting, so he yelled behind him; "Fight to the death!" He rushed straight to the most dense phalanx of the Qin army, and the soldiers of the Chu army behind him were all brave, wanting to take the city first when the Qin reinforcements had not yet arrived.

The instantaneous outbreak of the Chu army caused the already precarious defense line of the Qin army to collapse instantly, and some panicked soldiers even dropped their weapons in a panic and jumped off the inner wall to escape. The red wave of the Chu army's fierce attack kept compressing the black phalanx of the Qin army to a small one, and the remnants of the Qin army retreated to the entrance of the city tower under the leadership of Wang Qi. On the contrary, if the Chu army failed to capture the city, then the Chu army, which lacked a rear, would soon be forced down by the surging Qin reinforcements.

Both sides realized that this was the most critical place, and they all fought to the death and did not give in at all. At this moment's time, Han Xin had already rushed to the city gate, stepped on the back of his horse and rose to the sky like a big bird, and jumped straight behind the city tower Chu Jun. The fish intestines on the waist have been unsheathed, and a storm of wind and blood has rolled up behind the Chu army, and the Qin soldiers who are fighting hard see the main general coming, and their morale is suddenly greatly boosted, and the decline is suddenly stagnant.

Yu Ziqi, who was slightly behind, saw Han Xin killed, so he roared and swung his sword to meet him, and the two swords were in line with each other, their eyes staggered, and they both saw a complicated color in each other's eyes. When the two armies fought, Han Xin naturally did not show mercy, and turned his hand to brush up on several swords to attack, forcing Yu Ziqi to panic for a while. In terms of martial arts, he was naturally inferior to Han Xin, and he lost the opportunity, and after more than ten moves, his arm was sore, and he was gradually exhausted, but fortunately, Xiang Yu had also flown to arrive at this time and took Han Xin for him. At the same time, he yelled; "Sub-period, and the dragon and break the formation."

Yu Ziqi understood, and took Xiang Yu's place forward, and fought side by side with Long, wanting to smash the defense of the Qin people.

Between the stone fire and lightning, Xiang Yu and Han Xin have already taken over dozens of moves. Unlike the last time when he rushed to kill, this time it was a hand-to-hand encounter, and Han Xin's small body technique that Han Xin was good at could just come in handy.

The swordsman is the king of a hundred soldiers, and the fish intestines are like mercury pouring into the ground in Han Xin's hands, and the silver light flashes everywhere, seemingly soft, but from time to time it is like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, so that Xiang Yu does not dare to be careless. The knife is the tyrant of a hundred soldiers, and the whistling wind of a big knife waving in Xiang Yu's hand is unstoppable like a mountain cracking stone, and the oncoming knife wind makes people feel painful.

The two are entangled together, and they are not divided into top and bottom, and no one can help anyone in a short time. At this time, there was a thunderous horse streading sound under the city, and nearly 10,000 Yulin horsemen had arrived, and they were dismounting and swarming along the road on the city wall. And a black line has appeared on the city wall in the distance, and Meng Shi's foot soldiers also strode along the city wall.

Xiang Yuxin was defeated, although he was a little unwilling, but reason still suppressed the violent battle intent in his heart. The big knife struggled to attack a few moves, forcing Han Xin to retreat and jumping out, shouting violently; "After the Suzaku is broken, retreat."

When the Chu soldiers heard Xiang Yu's order, most of them quickly retreated and slid down the wall along the rope. One of them went up to the attack, and after breaking side by side with Xiang Yu, Long Ji, and Yu Ziqi, he waited for the other manpower to evacuate before he quickly climbed over the wall.

The Qin army suffered heavy losses, and seeing that the Chu army retreated calmly, it was helpless, until Xiang Yu took a deep look at Han Xin in the crowd before leaving, his eyes were full of provocation, he wanted to tell Han Xin that he would never stop there.

The attack has been defeated, and there is no point in storming Dongcheng. After Xiang Yu returned to the camp, he decisively issued the order to retreat, and the soldiers of the Four Kingdoms retreated from under the city wall of Xianyang like a tide with the well and the cloud ladder of the city, leaving only the dead bodies and gravel in one place.

The soldiers who had already attacked the city were not so lucky, they were already entangled with the Qin army, how could they retreat with their whole body. Only a few lucky soldiers retreated along the ladder, most of them died at the head of the city, and some abandoned their weapons and surrendered to the Qin army.

Yingbu relied on his martial arts to break through and forcibly jumped off the city and staggered back. Zhong Liwei was not so lucky, he was already injured at the head of the city and could not walk, so he could only be entangled and fought with the Qin army in the same place, soaked in blood, Tian Shi saw that his status looked very high, so he ordered him to be captured alive with a platoon of gun rack locks.

When the seriously injured Zhongli Wei was tied up and carried in front of Han Xin, he just looked up at Han Xin in front of him, and then closed his eyes tightly without saying a word.

Han Xin showed a bitter smile on his face and said slowly; "Brother Zhongli, don't come unharmed."

Zhong Liwei opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice; "Han Xin, I have no complaints when I am defeated under your hands, if I want to kill or chop, listen to it, it is inconvenient to think about the old feelings."

Han Xin smiled bitterly; "Don't worry, I won't kill you. Yu Gong, you are the general of the Chu army, and there is some use for keeping you; In private, you and I are old friends, life and death on the battlefield should naturally be, but in private, I can't be ruthless. ”

Zhong Liwei was stunned, and then he thought of something and snorted coldly; "If you want me to serve you, then I advise you to stop this thought, you should know who I am."

Han Xin shook his head with a smile and said; "I'm not stupid to waste my mind on meaningless things." After speaking, he ordered his subordinates to loosen Zhong Liwei, and called a healer to bandage and heal him. looked at Zhong Liwei and said with a smile; "Brother Zhong, I respect you as a hero, so I won't tie up and humiliate you, and I hope you will respect yourself."

Zhongli snorted heavily, turned his head and closed his eyes and said no more. After the healer bandaged his wounds, he suddenly opened his eyes and said loudly; "Han Xin, do you know what your biggest weakness is?"

"That's the kindness of a woman! On the battlefield, it was originally a matter of life and death for you, but you cared about the old love and refused to kill the killer. Last time it was Dragon, this time it's me, do you think we'll be grateful to you? No, all we feel is the humiliation of your charity, and he will take revenge when he has the chance. ”

Han Xin was silent for a long time, what Zhong Liwei said was indeed his biggest weakness. He can be ruthless to many people and decisive to many people, but he can't attack the people around him. This is why he can acquiesce in the fact of slaughtering the city in Manchester City, but he can't attack the dragon who should have died long ago under the city.

After all, he still has the thinking of a modern person, and he can not hesitate to kill enemies he doesn't know, because these people are just passers-by A and B who don't know each other in his life, he doesn't know their names and who they are, they are just a string of symbols more than 2,000 years ago to Han Xin, and they don't have any meaning of existence. Han Xin was comfortable killing them, because these people also wanted to kill him, so he would not have any guilt. But Xiang Yu, Long Ji, and Zhong Liwei are different, they all really live in Han Xin's world, and they have all kinds of contacts and intersections with him, but he still can't be ruthless.

Maybe Zhong Liwei is right, he is just a woman's kindness, and sooner or later he will pay the price for it, but he doesn't want to force himself to change. Because he knew that if it was Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu would be merciful and laugh it off.

The benevolence of a woman is not a kind of heroic sympathy, if it is just a blind thirst for killing, then he is not the Xiang Yu he respects!

So on the other side, Han Xin just smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "The kindness of a woman is the kindness of a woman, whatever you say, you go and recuperate your injuries first, if you want to take revenge, you must not be able to take revenge on you now." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned left and right to take Zhong Liwei down, ignoring his shouting.

Xiang Yu came out of the nest with all his blood this time, and since he failed, he would definitely not be able to stop a large-scale siege in a short period of time. Han Xin withdrew the soldiers who had fought for a day to rest and wait, and let some new soldiers who had not gone to the battlefield go to the wall to guard, while the people and strong women seized the time to repair the damaged parts of the city wall. At the same time, watchtowers were widely distributed at the commanding heights in the city, closely monitoring every move of the coalition camp opposite, and the remaining Qin troops seized the time to rest and recuperate their strength.

Attacking and defending the city is not only about the strength of the strength and the command of the commander, but also the morale of the soldiers. In the face of the siege of the city, the defending side is very easy to be disturbed by the method of the besieging party, and the wind is like a frightened bird at all times, and finally the physical strength is exhausted and collapsed without a fight. Therefore, Han Xin asked the soldiers who were resting in the camp to sleep after eating and sleeping until the siren sounded, and maintained their full physical strength.

Although the Qin army itself suffered heavy losses in the first battle, the morale of the Qin people who were encouraged by the victory was still high, and the Qin people in the city had a pessimistic view of the future of the Qin State also changed greatly, and they went to the city to celebrate each other.

The coalition camp outside the city was indeed bleak, and the half-day fighting caused heavy losses to the anti-Qin coalition forces who thought they were in a position to win, with a total of more than 120,000 dead and wounded, accounting for one-fifth of the coalition forces. Among them, Liu Bang, who acted as the vanguard, suffered the most heavy losses, followed by the armies of Zhao, Yan, Qi, and Wei, while the Chu army, which was Xiang Yu's descendant, lost more than 10,000 people, which also made the princes complain about Xiang Yu, thinking that he was using Xianyang City to consume the strength of other princes.

The princes' centrifugal Xiang Yu was also keenly aware, but he didn't care, he still commanded the princes as before, and continued to attack Xianyang City on the second day, but this time he also let the Chu army and the armies of various countries take turns to fight. The princes were afraid of Xiang Yu's might, and did not dare to disobey his orders, and saw that the Chu army was also going to take turns to attack the city, so they were a little relieved in their hearts, but the strength of their efforts was naturally far less than that of the first day.

The first large-scale siege cost nearly half of the siege equipment and arrows carefully prepared by Fan Zeng, so the strength of the subsequent sieges was far less than the original. While intensifying the siege, Xiang Yu rode to Fan Zeng, who was supervising the construction of weapons at Hangu Pass, to ask for reinforcements, and asked him to send as many siege equipment as possible.

The grain and grass in Xianyang City was enough to support a million soldiers and civilians for a year, so Han Xin was not very anxious, he divided the remaining 130,000 people in the city into three groups, and two of them took turns to defend the city. In order to siege the city, the coalition army also took a lot of effort, once secretly digging tunnels to bypass the city wall to enter the city, the Qin army had already taken precautions, widely distributed empty water tanks under the city wall, sent people to monitor the movement of the underground day and night, once there was a sound of excavation, they hollowed out and poured filth and poisonous smoke down. The anti-Qin coalition tried several times and was discovered by the Qin people, but it not only took a long time but also suffered heavy casualties, so they gave up the authentic method.

He imitated the Qin people to create more than 100 trebuchets and wanted to destroy the city wall with huge stones, and the trebuchets of the Qin army shot at each other when they saw this. In terms of craftsmen and machinery, the Qin State was far ahead of the six Kwantung countries, and the trebuchets imitated by the coalition army were far inferior to the Qin army in terms of range and accuracy.

The wells seemed to have become the most effective lethal weapon for the coalition forces, and hundreds of wells were pushed up the city walls every day, firing at the Qin army at the head of the city with a dense array of bows and arrows. Although Qin's crossbow is extremely sharp, it has suffered heavy losses for a long time, and some of the coalition forces are people, and they don't care about casualties.

Seeing this, Han Xin patiently waited until the Wei army attacked the city, and suddenly the city gate was opened, and nearly 10,000 iron horsemen swarmed out, killing the Wei army who was suddenly surprised. By the time Xiang Yu arrived in a hurry with his elite cavalry, the Qin army had calmly retreated to the city after destroying nearly half of the wells.

Seeing that Jing Yan had lost so much, Xiang Yu, who was furious, whipped Wei Wangbao in public, not caring about his Wei Wang's face at all, and refused to stop until Wei Bao's breath was dying. Xiang Yu's brutality also made the princes retreat, but they didn't dare to say it to their faces.

Because of the loss of Jingqi, the coalition forces had to suspend the offensive, and only continued the siege after Fan Zeng personally arrived with a new batch of siege equipment half a month later. Fan Zeng's arrival will also bring Xiang Yu a not very good news, the grain and grass of the Kwantung countries have run out, this is the last batch of grain and grass sent, only enough for the coalition army to support another two months, after two months, no matter whether Xianyang is captured or not, it must be returned to the Kwantung.

Xianyang City is not easy at the moment, the continuous attack of the coalition army in the past two months has also caused heavy casualties to the Qin army, and the strength has been sharply reduced to 100,000, although the coalition army has also suffered 200,000 casualties, but it has a greater advantage in the total number of people. With the arrival of a new batch of reinforcements from Fan Zeng, the situation in Xianyang has become even more severe.

Han Xin has almost never left his body in the past few months, because he is relieved that he will not go to the city defense, he will move the command post directly to the city tower, and he will eat and live in the city day and night. Because the strength of the Qin army was sharply reduced, and the defense of the city wall was also insufficient, it had to cancel the rotation rest system, and instead the whole army was stationed on the city wall for a long time, using the spare time to rest on the spot.

In order to encourage the loss of the city, Ying Ke took the lead in donating the gold and silver valuables in the palace to reward the meritorious soldiers of the three armies, and her move was imitated by the majority of nobles, because everyone knew that once Xianyang was finished, let alone wealth, they would not even be able to save their lives. At the same time, Ying Ke also led the palace people and noblewomen in the palace to go to the city to comfort the guards of the city regardless of the danger, and these various behaviors made the Qin soldiers more determined to defend their hearts and swore to live and die with Xianyang and Daqin.

On this day, Han Xin finished inspecting the city defense, and it was already early in the morning, so he dragged his tired body back to his residence. As soon as he entered the door, he was interrupted by a personal soldier, and Han Xin said with a displeased face; "What's the matter, hurry up."

When the soldier saw that his face was angry, he hurriedly said; "Back to the General, there is a noble captive in the city who has asked to see you."

"Who is it?"

"Liu Bang's wife."

Han Xin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had indeed captured Liu Bang's wife and young son when he attacked Ba Shang at the beginning, and he disdained to use subordinate means to blackmail Liu Bang, so he asked the two to take good care of them, but he didn't make it too difficult, and the food and clothing were all available.

Thinking of this, Han Xin couldn't help but ask a little strangely; "What is she looking for me for?"

The soldier bowed down and said with an embarrassed face; "I don't know about my humble position, and when I asked her, I only said that I had something important to ask to see the general, saying that it was related to the safety of the Qin State. When asked what was going on, she only said that the lowly man was soft-spoken, and he would not say it until he saw the general. I saw that her face was anxious, and it didn't look like she was bored, so I didn't dare to hide it, so I came to tell you, General. ”

Han Xin nodded and asked again; "And where is she now?"

"I'm waiting outside the tent, and I've brought her under the strict care of the guards."

"Alright, you go down first, and bring her up." Han Xin said slowly, he was a little curious in his heart, what happened to this Liu Bang's wife.

When Lu Pheasant came up, the two couldn't help but look at each other in amazement. Lu Pheasant looked at Han Xin in a daze for a long time before pressing his hand on his chest and said in surprise; "Are you ....... are you Han Xiaodao?"

The phrase 'Han Xiaodao Chang' evoked Han Xin's memories, and he couldn't help but remember that at that time, he was holding the signboard of 'Cloth Clothes and Divine Appearance' to swagger through the market, thinking about slaughtering fat sheep to make up the road funds, while the bright and beautiful Yu Miaoyi followed behind him with low eyebrows, not secretly covering his teeth and chuckling, looking at himself with tenderness in his eyes.

Everything seems to be far, far away, as if it were a world away. At that time, there was no iron blood, no killing, the only thing he had to worry about was how to fill his belly that seemed to never be full, and he was bent on how to get Yu Miaoyi, a little Lori.

And now he is a little sad to find that if he didn't deliberately think about it, he would have almost forgotten her existence, forgotten the oath he had made, and forgotten the covenant he had made. Han Xin couldn't help but be silent, he was trying his best to get ahead for Yu Miaoyi, but now he is completely trapped in it, because he has too many expectations on his shoulders, they trust him, rely on him, and are even willing to entrust their lives to him!

He is no longer alone, and he is no longer living for himself.

Lu Pheasant's softly called to wake Han Xin up from his contemplation, and she looked at Han Xin with tears flowing out slowly in some surprise, but she didn't ask. Han Xin smiled at her apologetically and said; "I'm sorry Miss Lu, the wind is too strong and I lost my eyes."

Lu Pheasant smiled, Han Xin's excuse was very lame, but she didn't care, she just sighed and said; "I didn't expect that today's famous general of the Qin State is actually a small Taoist who was mixed in the market at the beginning, and his life experience is really embarrassing."

Han Xin smiled slightly and said; "I didn't expect that the generous Miss Lu family was actually the wife of Pei Gong."

"So what's that?" Lu Pheasant smiled self-deprecatingly and said; "It's not like you're a prisoner."

Han Xin shook his head with a smile and said; "Okay, let's not talk about this, I don't know Miss Lu, oh, no, it's Mrs. Liu. I think Mrs. Liu should be looking for more than just to catch up with the past, what do you have to say? ”

Lu Pheasant had regained her former calm at this time, she stared at Han Xin closely, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and said slowly; "I want to negotiate a condition with you on behalf of my husband."

"A condition you can't refuse."
