The time entered the twenty-second year of King Qingji of Wu, that is, in 492 BC, at the beginning of the third lunar month.

The Wu army, which had captured the land of Feng and Hao, continued to attack the main force of the Qin army north of Weishui.

More than 300,000 men and horses of the two armies fought a fierce battle on the Weishui front.

The Qin army was unfavorable in several battles, and Zihu, the chief general of the Qin state, relied on the favorable terrain and ordered the soldiers to stick to the camp and wait for work at ease, exhausting the Wu army.

Despite the repeated challenges of the Wu army, the Qin soldiers could not go out to fight.

In fact, Zihu was ready to first thwart the sharp momentum of the Wu army in a leisurely manner, and then wait for a favorable opportunity before attacking.

And the long-term stalemate between the two armies actually meant defeat for the Wu army, which had been on an expedition of thousands of miles.

The Wu army has always been good at advancing and attacking sharply, and only quick battles can achieve great success, and once the offensive is frustrated, it will often lead to the withering of morale and the destruction of offensive strength......

When the main forces of Wu and Qin fought fiercely on the front line of Weishui, Gongzixi led 10,000 elite soldiers to pass through the Qinling Mountains from the plank road of Chencang Road, and captured Yu County with lightning speed.

When the news came out, it immediately shocked the Qin State, and it was gloomy and miserable.

Because, the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State never expected that the Wu army, which was originally stationed in Shuzhong, would choose to take the sword and build a new plank road to attack Qin.

In the eyes of the Qin people, most of the partial divisions of the Wu army would cross the Qin Mountains from the Baochuan Road, and their only way was Pingyang of the Qin State, so the Qin soldiers were stationed in Pingyang......

Yu County is less than sixty miles away from Yongcheng, the capital of Qin, and when Qin Bo Yingning learned that the Wu army had captured Yu County, Gongzixi had already led his troops to the city.

Yongcheng, originally a part of Zhouyuan, is located in the west of the Guanzhong Plain, the terrain is high and open, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the south is Yongshui, and the terrain is flat.

Its geographical location is very important, it is the transportation choke point to the Silk Road, and the soil is fertile, which is easy for the development of agriculture.

When the Wu army arrived in Yongcheng, Gongzixi did not rashly launch an attack on this "water Qin capital".

Because, after a long-distance attack, Rao is Gongzixi led all the elite soldiers, but they couldn't parry it, and they felt tired.

So under the order of Gongzixi, the Wu army set up camp on the edge of Yongshui, buried the antlers deeply, and cut down the trees on the mountain to make ladders.

This Wu army, which rushed from Shuzhong, crossed the plank road, so it lacked siege equipment, and it was not easy to break through Yongcheng.

In the city, Yingning, who was lying on the sickbed, had already begun to call on the people of the country to take up arms to defend Yongcheng from men under the age of 60 and over 14 years old.

And Ying Ning, after vomiting blood, is about to come to the end of her life......

"Kill!"

The next day, under the command of Gongzixi, thousands of Wu army warriors approached the city walls of Yongcheng with uniform steps.

The first soldier at the front, under the cover of crossbow arrows, desperately carried the explosives bag in his arms, and rushed forward one after another in the face of the enemy's arrow rain.

"Poof!"

"Ahh

Although the first deceased soldier has a strong physique and good combat power, he can't stand the sharp arrows and lose them densely, which makes people unguardable.

After just a few rounds of arrow rain attacks, dozens of the first dead fell in a pool of blood, either dead or wounded.

"Boom!"

The first deceased who successfully delivered the explosives package to the city gate ignited the explosives bag without saying anything.

After seeing that a gap was blown out of the city gate, Gongzi Xi saw the right time and took the lead in killing the army.

"Hold on!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

"You must hold it!"

The soldiers of the Qin army, who were in charge of defending the city, fought with Wu with red eyes.

In order to defend Yongcheng, Qin Boyingning not only recruited a large number of men to fight, but even the guards in his palace were transferred to the city.

"Monarch!"

I don't know when, Ying Ning actually wore a dark samurai uniform, held a sword in one hand, and stepped onto the top of the city with a cloak to command the battle.

After seeing Ying Ning's figure, the morale of the Qin army, which had fallen into decline, was suddenly greatly boosted.

After a fierce street battle, the Qin army successfully repelled the attack of the Wu army and drove out the enemy who had entered the city.

What makes people's scalps tingle even more is that it is not only those well-trained Qin soldiers who block the attack of the Wu army's sharp soldiers, but also the Qin Li Shu who is wearing simple clothes and holding hoes, shovels, sickles and other agricultural tools in their hands......

From the old man with gray temples to the childish child, they have all been thrown into the battlefield.

For every ten people they killed, they could kill one Wu soldier.

Rao is like this, with full of blood, they simply repelled the fierce attack of the Wu army.

As the sun set, the dilapidated Qin army raised its banner and hunted in the wind.

The Qin soldiers at the head of the city, or the Li Shu of the Qin State, all supported each other, looking at the enemy outside the city as if they were dead.

I don't know who is leading, but the city full of corpses and mourning is everywhere, and the city full of blood has already hummed a war song full of pathos.

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son! ”

"Do you say you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son! ”

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”

At this moment, whether it was the monarch and the doctor, or the soldier Li Shu, they were all humming the same war song, one tone, one voice......

After seeing such a tenacious Qin people, Gongzi Xi couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder, Sun Wu had to have an army of two or three hundred thousand to destroy Qin.

Such a country, as strong as the state of Wu, how could it easily perish?

"Newspaper—"

A junior colonel flew over and came to Gongzixi's side and said, "General, the Qin army originally stationed in Pingyang has come to the rescue. ”

"Its front army, no less than 100 cars, less than ten miles away from Yongcheng!"

Hearing this, Gongzixi sighed and said, "Withdraw!" ”

"No!"

In this case, Gongzixi had to give the order to withdraw his troops.

Because, they have lost the best opportunity to conquer Yongcheng.

Even if there is a sky-shattering thunder, the Wu army wants to capture this water Qin capital, which is not a momentary achievement.

Gongzixi then led his troops to retreat to Yuxian (Chencang), relying on the geographical advantages there, mediated with the Qin army, and waited for an opportunity to break it.

After the Wu army retreated, the Qin people at the head of the city were all cheering.

However, Ying Ning, who took a breath and came to the city to supervise the battle, finally vomited blood and fell to the ground with a "poof".

"Monarch!"

"Father!"

Ying Pan and a group of ministers and doctors of the Qin State hurriedly stepped forward to support Ying Ning.

Ying Ning grabbed Ying Pan's arm and struggled: "Zhao Pan, defend the Qin State, hold the Qin State, the ancestral foundation must not be lost!" ”

"No! Father, sons, remember, remember! ”

Yingpan couldn't help but burst into tears.

After a few more words, Ying Ning finally tilted her head, with endless resentment and regret, and died with a whimper.
