On the other side, Mengwu and his son led the army to sweep away the Qin army camp between Qicheng and Dengcheng, capturing and killing nearly 30,000 Qin troops.

After this battle, the Qin army's turbulent defense line was completely broken, and only a crumbling city remained.

The Zhao army set up camp in the location of the original Qin army camp to guard against the Qin army in Dengcheng, and sent cavalry to cut off the Qin army's grain route, so that the city completely became an isolated city.

"Your ......, Your Majesty Let's go back to Xianyang, and hand over the front line to the last general." In the tent, Bai Qi bowed his head and half-knelt in front of Qin Wangji, there was no longer any arrogance in his heart, and his sideburns and hair became gray at some point.

The Fei Lian Army, which had been inherited by the Qin State for hundreds of years, was wiped out in his hands, which was an unforgivable sin. At this moment, even if Qin Wangji killed him, he had nothing to say.

"King, the people's livelihood in the country is withering, the people have vegetables, the Zhao army is still attacking Longxi, and Guanzhong needs you to go back to the town." Wei Ran and Lu Buwei also leaned over and persuaded.

The city is only a lonely city, and it cannot be defended for a long time.

Qin Wangji was in the city for a day, and the Qin army had one more flaw.

In case Qin Wangji died on the front line, no matter how amazing Bai Qi's strength was, he would not be able to stabilize the morale of the army.

The special role of the monarch is not something that can be replaced by famous generals.

Although Qin Wangji's departure now will inevitably lead to a sharp drop in the morale of the army, so that the soldiers will have the idea that 'the king abandoned us and fled back, and it is impossible for us to win), but compared with the huge impact caused by Qin Wangji's death on the front line, this loss is not unacceptable.

"The widow will not go anywhere, but where the army is, the widow will be there." Qin Wangji's lion-like gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, and his voice was deep and firm.

When he learned that the Fei Lian army was destroyed, he did have the urge to kill Bai Qi in his heart, but in the end, he forced it down, and it was definitely a taboo for soldiers to kill his own commander when the two armies were fighting, not to mention that the Qin army currently had no generals who could replace Bai Qi.

Whether it is Wei Ran, Sima Cuo, or Wang Di, Wang Qian, and Bai Qi have a certain gap.

"The king......" the crowd persuaded again.

"No more." Qin Wangji waved his hand and motioned for everyone to retreat.

Wei Ran and the others looked at each other, sighed deeply, and withdrew from the tent.

"There is still half a month of grain and grass in the city......" After leaving the camp, Lu Buwei said slowly.

Although he didn't finish speaking, everyone understood what Lu Buwei meant, and the city could be held for half a month at most.

……

At the beginning of March, it rained heavily in Nanyang, and it rained for three days and three nights in a row.

Strings of raindrops fell from the sky, enveloping the heavens and the earth in a fog, and a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, followed by a thunderous explosion that lit up the sky.

Wei Wuji stood in front of the tent, looking in the direction of Deng Cheng, and when the raindrops were about to fall on his body, they automatically slid down to both sides, without wetting his robe.

Zhu Hai and Li Tong stood behind Wei Wuji, while Hou Ying sat in the tent, looking at the map on the wall, thoughtful.

He's too old to stand the rain.

It has been more than a month since the beginning of the spring that the Wei army attacked Dengcheng, and there is still no sign of breaking the city.

The walls of Dengcheng are taller than those of the city, surrounded by moats outside the city, and backed by Nanjun, and a steady stream of grain and grass is sent from the Han River into Dengcheng, making the city impregnable.

Wei Wuji had tried to buy off the officials in the city, but no official was willing to take the risk of punishing the Nine Clans as an internal agent of the coalition forces.

In the past 100 years, the Qin State has been invincible and invincible. Even if you lose occasionally, it won't be long before you get back with interest.

Most Qin officials did not think that Qin was already in decline, but that Qin's current predicament was only temporary, and it would not be long before Qin would be able to fight back again.

If they defect to the coalition forces at this time, they are likely to suffer from the liquidation of the Qin State in the future, so most of the officials are still with the Qin State.

Wei Wuji finally bribed a petty official, but before he could pass on the information, he was reported by other officials, and Wang Yi used this petty official to pass false information to the Wei army.

Fortunately, Wei Wuji did not fully believe in the petty officials who were bought, and always remained vigilant, so that Wang Ji did not succeed.

"My lord, let's go back to the tent." After a while, Zhu Hai couldn't help but say.

"Hey." Wei Wuji sighed and turned back to enter the tent.

"What does the Lord have to gain?" When Hou Ying saw Wei Wuji coming in, he didn't get up, he poured Wei Wuji a cup of tea casually, and said with a smile.

"Nope." Wei Wuji took the tea and drank it down, sighing again.

"The old man has a plan." Hou Ying looked at the heavy rain outside the curtain, and then glanced at Wei Wuji.

"Sir, please speak." Wei Wuji bowed.

"Burst the embankment and flood Deng City!" Hou Ying pointed to the map with a dry finger and said sharply, "It has rained heavily for three days and three nights, and the water level of the Han River has risen sharply, and it has overflowed to the surrounding low-lying areas. As long as our army digs the embankment, the flood will be able to flood Dengcheng in an instant, even if Wang Ji has an army of 100,000, don't try to resist."

"The People of the City......

"Lord, now is not the time for a woman's kindness, if you care about the people in the city, you can send food to appease you after taking Deng City, but you must not give up this opportunity because of the woman's kindness. If we miss this opportunity, if our army wants to capture Dengcheng in the future, we will have to pay at least thousands, or even tens of thousands of soldiers, for their lives. It's not kindness, it's stupidity. The lives of the people in the city are fate, but is the life of our soldiers not fate? Kindness to one's enemies is evil to one's own people!"

Hou Ying said loudly, ringing in Wei Wuji's heart like a morning bell and a dusk drum.

He only thought about not causing too much killing, but he ignored that before the capture of Dengcheng, the people in the city were enemies, not their own people, and they would only provide food and armor for the Qin army defending the city.

Only after the capture of Deng Cheng and the surrender of everyone will they be their own people.

"Thank you, sir, Mowgli almost missed a big thing." Wei Wuji bowed deeply, and then said, "Ben will lead everyone to cut down trees and build ships."

After speaking, Wei Wuji took Zhu Hai and Li Tong towards the outside of the camp.

It's still raining heavily, but there's not much to care about at this point.

Hou Yingmu saw Wei Wuji and the three of them leave, got up and stretched, walked to the rocking chair and lay down.

He is old, and he can't see the scenes of fighting and killing, so it is better to stay in the camp safely.

Three days later, the five days of heavy rain finally stopped, the sky began to clear, and a rainbow hung in the northwest sky, which was refreshing.

The Qin army walked up to the city wall one after another to welcome the long-lost sun.

In the past few days of heavy rain, the Wei army did not attack the city, and the Qin army was able to relax.

Everyone was talking and laughing, talking about all kinds of things.

Wang Di discussed with several lieutenants how to deal with the next siege of the Wei army.

At this moment, a huge and magnificent sound came from a distance, the sound became louder and louder, the earth was shaking, and then, an endless flood appeared in front of the people, like an ancient beast rushing towards Deng Cheng unstoppably.

Rumble!

The flood hit the city wall, slapping a thousand waves, and the soldiers in the city instantly felt a shock to the earth, and several soldiers did not stand firm, and fell from the city wall, drowning in the surging flood.

The hearts of all the soldiers of the Qin army sank to the bottom.

The Wei army broke the embankment!

It rained heavily for five days and five nights, and there was no need to think about it to know how high the water level of the Han River had risen, and Deng Cheng would definitely not be able to stop this level of flooding.

Soon, something even more terrible came.

Along with the flood, there was also a thick wood, the two ends of the wood were sharpened by the Wei army, under the impact of the water, crashed into the city wall, the whole city wall was shaken, and a large piece of soil skin fell into the flood.

The water level outside the city rose faster and faster, and the flood water and wood poured into the city along the city gates, and Wang Yu had to order the city gates to be blocked with bricks and stones.

It didn't take long for the Wei army to appear outside Deng Cheng with a boat and began to persuade the city to surrender.

Wang Yi accepted all the letters of persuasion

He rose up and burned it, ordered the whole city to defend it, and told everyone that someone had been sent to ask the king for help, and that reinforcements would arrive soon.

Then, Wang Yu gathered all the people in the city and ordered the houses to be demolished and the walls to be strengthened, and no one was allowed to refuse.

The water level rose too fast, and if the city walls were not heightened and reinforced, Deng Cheng would not have lasted long.

Wang Yu also ordered the people in the city to hand over all the grain in their homes, and the army was under the unified management, and the grain and grass were distributed according to the contribution, and if they did not help the army to work, there would be no food and grass.

The people in the city dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only let the Qin army snatch all their food.

The scene in front of them reminded them of more than 20 years ago, when the Qin army invaded Dengcheng, occupied this land, and robbed them of their property like robbers.

Today, the Qin army, as the defender of the city, still snatched all the grain from them like robbers.

Something called resistance gradually arises in people's minds and quickly spreads among the population.

Three days later, the Qin army in the city did not wait for reinforcements, but waited for the Wei army to launch a general attack.

The city wall has already become full of holes under the impact of the flood and wooden piles, and some sections have been washed away by the flood, and the wooden piles poured in with the water, and the terrifying impact instantly pierced the Qin army who came to repair the city wall.

Knock knock!

Knock knock!

Knock knock!

The drums of war beat and the flags fluttered.

Wei Wuji led the Wei army and attacked Deng Cheng on a raft.

Dozens of meters long brilliant swords fell from the sky and fell on the city wall, and the already precarious city wall could no longer support it, and collapsed in an instant.

The morale of the Wei army was greatly shaken, and they rushed out of Dengcheng along the gap, and killed the Qin army who rushed over to support.

Wei Wuji took the lead, Zhu Hai and Li were on the left and right, guarding Wei Wuji's sides, and the three of them were like three sharpest awls, piercing into the Qin army, and the Qin army that killed them was defeated and retreated.

"Die!" Wei Wuji split the Qin army generals in two with a single sword, ignoring the remaining remnants of the army, and led the Wei army towards the city gate.

At this time, Wang Di's heart was haggard, several sections of the city wall of Dengcheng had collapsed, and the people in the city faintly resisted, even if they obeyed orders, they did not work as hard as in the past, but they were perfunctory, and the eyes of the Qin army were also hateful.

Deng Cheng has belonged to the Chu State for the past hundreds of years, and has been occupied by the Qin State for less than 30 years, plus the Qin State is not a benevolent government to recuperate, but a tyrannical and harsh government, many people still remember the former Chu State in their hearts.

As a military general, leading troops to fight is his strength, but he is powerless to deal with the relationship between the military and the people and resolve hatred.

Besides, Wei Wuji didn't give him time either.

"General, it's not good, the Wei army has come over." A soldier was covered in mud and rushed from a distance in a panic.

"Where?" Wang Yi said urgently.

"That's it...... It's right in the back. Walls...... The walls of the city collapsed, and the Wei army came in through the gap," the soldier said quickly.

"The whole army obeys the order, follow me to meet the enemy!" Wang Ji ordered, and the fiery red war clouds converged over the army, and the Qin army quickly formed a formation and prepared for battle.

Soon, Wei Wuji led the Wei army to kill him.

"Shinling-kun!" Wang Yi saw Wei Wuji rushing to the front from afar.

"Zuo Shu Changwang Di! Saying that you have been defeated again and again, didn't King Qin demote your lord?" Wei Wuji asked curiously.

Wang Di's old face darkened instantly, King Qin really didn't demote him at first, but just said that next time he made meritorious service, this punishment would be waived.

But he was defeated again and again, and the king of Qin had no reason to protect him, so he could only demote him to the title.

If it weren't for the lack of leading generals in the Qin State, it would have been possible for his title to be cut off.

Wang Di no longer talked, but led the Qin army towards Wei Wuji.

"Dare to hurt the Lord!" Seeing this, Zhu Hai immediately greeted him, and two big hammers smashed towards Wang Di.

Boom!

There was a loud bang, Wang Di

The spear in his hand was bent instantly, and a terrifying force came from the barrel of the gun, and Wang Di's whole body was numb, and he almost didn't hold the spear.

At the same time, Wei Wuji also led Wei Wushu to rush towards the Qin army.

Wang Ji was entangled by Zhu Hai, and no one in the entire Qin army was Wei Wuji's enemy, and these Qin troops were not Wei Wuji's opponents.

"Shoot the arrows!" Wei Wuji ordered.

The overwhelming rain of arrows covered the Qin army, which kept falling to the ground as if it were cutting wheat.

Dangdang!

The arrows of the Qin army fell towards the Wei army, colliding with a crisp sound, and the Wei soldiers easily blocked it, without losing a single soldier.

Wei Wushu had a contemptuous smile on his face, looking at Qin Jun with a gaze like a wolf looking at a sheep.

"Wei Zhiwu, move forward! Kill!" Wei Wushu shouted in unison, the heavy sword in his hand slashed forward, and blood flowers bloomed, and the Qin army fell in a row in an instant.

There was a disgusting smell of blood in the air.

The Qin army desperately went towards Wei Wushu, but the gap between the two sides was too big, and under the extreme defense, their attack fell on Wei Wushu, leaving nothing but a white mark.

Even Wang Yi's personal guards were not Wei Wushu's opponents at all, and those who were killed were defeated and retreated, and their corpses were spread all over the ground.

Wei Wuji and Li Tong each killed several lieutenant generals of the Qin army, and then surrounded Wang Di from left to right.

"Surrender or kill!" Although he knew that it was almost impossible for Wang Yi to surrender, out of politeness, Wei Wuji still asked.

"If you have the ability, you will kill Lao Tzu." Wang Di's eyes were about to split, he looked up to the sky and roared, and greeted the three of them.

"In that case, then you should die." Wei Wuji said calmly.
