"Keep firing the arrows, don't stop." Outside the city, Zhao Kuo stood on the chariot and said coldly.

If you are poor, you will be interspersed with tactics, and if you are rich, you will be covered by firepower!

Today's Zhao Guo is different from before!

After the Four Kingdoms invaded Qin, although Zhao launched wars against the Hu and Qiang people, they all sent partial troops to conquer, which was far from being called the battle of the country, and the benefits obtained after that far exceeded the loss of the war.

After so many years of recuperation, domestic food and armaments have long been piled up.

The warehouses outside the city were full of ten, and if we didn't consume some more, there would be no room for them.

The shooting battalion and strong crossbowmen were lined up on both sides, and there were tens of thousands of elite archers in the rear, and the sound of bowstrings had never stopped since Zhao Kuo ordered the arrows to be released.

Even the sun was obscured by arrows, and the whole sky was dark.

The Chu army wanted to raise an arrow to counterattack, but was given a second by Zhao Jun as soon as he appeared.

Archers, whoever shoots far will have absolute suppression, although the Chu army is condescending, but it can't be compared with the archery battalion and strong crossbowmen.

Even if Huang Xie mobilized the battle formation with all his might, the soldiers of the Chu army could only block some of the arrows.

The Zhao army did not know how many arrows were fired, only that the head of the city had become a forest of arrows, and there was no longer a standing enemy, so the Zhao army officially launched an attack.

Knock knock!

The war drums were beating, the morale of the Zhao army was soaring, and some of the soldiers even bloomed with the light of the military spirit, excitedly carrying the ladder and the big shield, and rushed towards Gusu City with a roar.

The Chu army is almost dead, and whoever is the first to climb the city at this time will be able to get the first to ascend!

"Block Zhao Jun, don't let Zhao Jun rush up!" A hoarse voice came from under the shield, and the king of Chu lifted the corpse and shield on his body and drilled out from underneath.

When the living Chu Jun heard the voice, they also got out from under the corpses of their companions.

The rain of arrows of the Zhao army was too terrifying, ordinary shields and armor could not stop the attacks of the shooting battalion and crossbowmen, and only by hiding under the corpses of their companions could they barely escape.

The Chu Dynasty looked around, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, the city walls were full of corpses, and the life that was still alive a quarter of an hour ago was now only cold corpses.

The Zhao army took away two-thirds of the Chu army with just a rain of arrows.

Blood dripped down the cracks in the bricks, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

Not far away, a soldier was shot in all four limbs, but the man was still alive, lying on the ground struggling in pain.

The king of Chu wanted to go over to help him, but found that there were arrows shot by Zhao Jun everywhere, and there was nowhere to put his feet.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

At this moment, Zhao Jun shot another wave of arrows from the city.

The king of Chu hurriedly hid behind the female wall and picked up a shield from the ground to block it in front of him.

The Zhao army's wave of arrow rain lasted for a short time, because the vanguard of the Zhao army had already arrived at the city and began to climb the ladder and continue to shoot arrows, which might accidentally injure their own people.

"Roll the wood, move the stones, set up the crossbows, and the reserves on top, scatter indiscriminately!" Huang Xie looked at Zhao Jun, who was getting closer and closer, and said urgently.

He thought that the Chu army at the head of the city would be able to withstand half a day at the worst, and then replace it with a reserve army in the afternoon, and the two armies would take turns to defend the city, at least for ten days and half a month.

Who would have thought that the archers of the Zhao army would be so strong that they could suppress the Chu army while standing under the city.

"Damn Zhao Dog, let's all die!" The king of Chu cursed, picked up a stone and threw it at the climbing Zhao army.

Seeing that the king of Chu personally went into battle, the morale of the Chu army recovered slightly, and they got up from the ground, lifted rolling logs and boulders and threw them towards the corner of the city, while the reserve army that rushed up picked up the arrows on the ground and shot them at the Zhao army under the city.

Gusu City was originally located in the rear of the Chu State, with sufficient food, but it did not have too many armaments, although Huang Xie quickly transferred weapons and armor from all over the country, and the number of arrows was still not sufficient.

However, with the generosity of the Zhao army, there are excellent arrow feathers everywhere, and the Chu army does not have to worry about arrows in a short time.

It's just that...... In exchange for these arrows, the Chu army paid for the lives of seven or eight thousand soldiers......

"Is that the King of Chu?" Zhao Kuo pointed to the King of Chu who was carrying the rolling wood and smashing the Zhao army with the soldiers, and said uncertainly.

He knew the King of Chu, but the two hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and after the King of Chu had undergone a change, his image had changed a lot, and Zhao Kuo didn't dare to recognize it.

"It's kind of like that, but I'm not sure. If it's really the King of Chu, this change is too great, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight." Wei Wuji said in surprise.

The former King of Chu was a big fat man who was white and fat, and his plump figure was the envy of many people.

In this era, there is no such thing as losing weight, it is a skill to be able to eat fat, and ordinary people are not qualified to be fat.

The current King of Chu is completely thin to skin and bones, his face is full of vicissitudes, his hair is gray, if it is not for the majesty in his eyes, there is no difference from the old farmer on the side of the road.

"Let's give it a try!" Lian Po took out his bow and arrows, aimed at the position of the king of Chu, and as soon as his fingers were loosened, the arrow from the string slashed through the sky like lightning and flew towards the king of Chu.

"King, get out of the way." Huang Xie said hurriedly, mobilizing his spiritual power to push the arrow away.

The King of Chu retreated again and again, frightened into a cold sweat.

It was only for a while that he felt the breath of death twice.

No wonder the soldiers were reluctant to fight for the state of Chu.

After a battle, the soldiers are killed, the wounded are wounded, and the only little reward will be withheld layer by layer, and when it comes to their own hands, they can't even make up for the delayed agricultural time.

If you die in battle, you will be even more unlucky, the family will have one less pillar, and your wife and children will be bullied by others, and you may even starve to death.

Although the aristocracy does not treat soldiers as people, soldiers are also human beings, they also want to live well, and they also want their wives and children not to be bullied by others.

Like the King of Chu, they don't want to die!

"It is no wonder that Zhao Guo continues to improve the treatment and status of his soldiers, and solve their worries, even if it costs a lot. Only then will the soldiers be willing to fight to the death!" King Chu sighed deeply.

He got it!

But it's too late!

Even if he understood it in the early years, he couldn't do the same as Zhao Guo.

The Zhao State spent too much money and food to raise troops, and one country was more than the other six countries combined, and the King of Chu couldn't understand where the Zhao State got so much money.

As for the money and food consumed by the Zhao army, it would not be able to support the entire Zhao country if it was drained.

But Zhao Guo not only easily raised so many soldiers, but even had the spare strength to build schools, pave roads, build factories, and farms...... Even the officials of the Zhao State are treated better than the Chu State!

"It is rumored in the world that King Zhao has a mountain of gold, and every day he will pull a cart of gold from the mountain into the palace......" King Chu suddenly thought of a rumor, and he couldn't think of any reason other than this explanation.

"Is this destiny?" The king of Chu asked God in his heart.

"Blocked by spiritual power, there should be only Chun Shenjun left in the Chu army who has the ability to do this. It seems that it is the king of Chu, and others are not qualified

Let Chun Shenjun save it himself." Lian Po put away his bow and arrows, and with Huang Xie, he couldn't kill the king of Chu.

However, it is also related to the fact that he is not proficient in archery, and an archer who is truly proficient in archery can be killed with an arrow even if he is a talented top civil servant, let alone a protected monarch.

It's a pity that there are no such top archers in the Central Plains now.

"Standing on the right side of the city gate, with a mustache, thin cheeks, and a sword tied around his waist, is the king of Chu, who kills the king of Chu, is a marquis, and a reward of five thousand gold." Zhao Kuo said loudly, and his voice was like thunder, spreading throughout the army.

All the soldiers were boiling, and quickly locked on to the King of Chu, their eyes were full of greed, and even their breathing became short.

At this time, the king of Chu is no longer an enemy in their eyes, but a golden man made of gold, as long as he kills him, he and his descendants will not have to worry about eating and drinking!

"Kill!" Zhao Jun shouted frantically, like a flood bursting its embankment rushing towards Gusu City.

"I didn't expect the widow to be quite valuable." King Chu said with a smile, carrying a rolling log

Smashed towards Zhao Jun below, "If you want to kill the widow, the widow will kill you first."

"Your Majesty, why don't you go to the city and rest for a while?" Huang Xie couldn't help but say that the existence of the King of Chu had indeed greatly inspired the Chu army, and even if it lost nearly 10,000, the Chu army did not collapse.

But at the same time, it also inspired Zhao Jun!

When Zhao Jun saw the King of Chu, he was even more excited than seeing the best beauties!

Screamed and rushed over!

"As the king of the Chu State, how can the widow hide behind when the soldiers are fighting with the enemy. The widow will defend the country of Chu together with the soldiers, and as long as the enemy does not retreat, the widow will never retreat!" King Chu said firmly.

Hearing the words of the King of Chu, the soldiers were also demoralized and strengthened their determination to defend the city.

Rolling logs and boulders were falling from the top of the city, accompanied by a foul smell of gold juice, and in a short time the entire city wall became stinking.

"Let Wei Wushu and the Xuanjia army attack from the west and east of the city at the same time, and strive to take Gusu City today." Zhao Kuo ordered.

The Zhao army did not only attack this city wall, but attacked four city walls at the same time, but here was the main attack, and the other three sides were auxiliary attacks.

However, the number of Zhao troops is sufficient, and there are famous generals such as Le Yi, Tian Dan, Lian Po, and Wei Wuji in charge, and they can turn the auxiliary attack into the main attack at any time.

Chu Jun obviously did not have this ability.

The elite of the Chu State was completely lost in the battle of Pengcheng, and when the King of Chu escaped from Chen Ying, he only brought a few dozen people, and even Zhu Rongwei was destroyed.

Huang Xie relied on his prestige, while reining in the routed army that fled back from the front line, while stepping up training, barely gathered 10,000 elite to defend the city, but was wiped out by a wave of arrows from the Zhao army, and could only pull the reserve army up.

The other three city walls were not much better, at this time the Wei army and the Han army had already lost their previous broken shields and replaced them with the equipment of the Zhao army, and their combat effectiveness was greatly increased, and it was Zhao Kuo who personally commanded the army.

Even if Zhao Kuo didn't say a word, just standing in front of the army, the morale of the soldiers would be greatly stimulated, and they would rush towards the enemy desperately, which no one could do.

"Zhao Jun rushed up, quickly push the ladder away." The king of Chu drew his sword and fought with Zhao Jun, but quickly threw away the saber and picked up a large knife from the ground.

The saber is a nice thing, but it's not practical on the battlefield at all, and it's better to have a machete.

Zhao Jun, who rushed up, looked at the King of Chu excitedly, fantasizing about the scene of the marquis, but the King of Chu was not killed by him with a single shot, but blocked his attack, and the guards next to him swarmed up and killed the Zhao Jun who rushed up.

But soon, more Zhao troops rushed up.

After climbing the city wall, the Zhao army quickly gained a firm foothold with its rich combat experience and strength, and waited until the number of comrades around him gradually increased, and they formed a battle formation to kill the Chu army.

Losing the protection of the city wall, the Chu army could only retreat under the attack of the Zhao army.

"The widow is with all the soldiers, fighting to the death and not retreating." The king of Chu swung his sword and slashed the Zhao army that was rushing towards him, and roared angrily.

"Fight to the death!" All the Chu troops were infected by the King of Chu, and they rushed up frantically and fought with the Zhao army.

The Zhao army desperately resisted, but because the number was too small, it was still squeezed out of the city wall little by little.

Huang Xie maintained the battle formation while directing the Chu army to fight.

Truth be told, his heart was hopeless.

Huang Xie's talent is to see the essence through phenomena, and to some extent, he can also see through the enemy's weaknesses.

But the essence of the Zhao army is strong, pure strength, and this strength has covered up all the weaknesses, at least not what the current Chu army can defeat.

And his own command ability is not strong, he just relies on talent to trick himself, and he can't be compared with real famous generals, but fortunately, the number of Chu troops is not large, and it does not exceed his limit.

Seeing that the Zhao army was driven out of the city wall, the king of Chu breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to rest for a while.

In the past few months, he has not eaten well or slept well every day, lost dozens of pounds, and his body is seriously deficient, and he is fighting completely by virtue of his will.

"King, something is wrong, the Zhao army sent troops to storm the east of the city/west of the city, and our army is almost unable to hold it." At this time, two soldiers ran from a distance in a panic and said loudly.

"How many people did Zhao Jun send?" King Chu hurriedly asked.

"Quantity...... Not much, but ...... But Wei Wushu and the Xuanjia Army, we are no opponent at all." The soldier said.

While the soldiers were talking, Lian Po had already climbed the city wall, and a halberd split the Chu army guards in half and killed the king of Chu.

Wei Wuji followed and breached the city gates.

There are no generals in the east and west of the city who can defend alone, and the soldiers are all strong men who have just been recruited, and the Army Spirit Legion is simply a dimensionality reduction blow to them.

In particular, the Xuanjia Army and Wei Wushu were both defensive army soul legions, and ordinary attacks fell on them without any effect, and they quickly bulldozed the Chu army.

"Wei Wushu and the Xuanjia Army!" When Huang Xie heard this, he knew that Gusu couldn't hold it, so he could only smile bitterly and shake his head, he originally thought that he could keep it for ten days and half a month, but he didn't expect that he couldn't hold it for half a day.

This huge gap has to make people despair.

A quarter of an hour later, King Chu and Huang Xie met Lian Po and Wei Wuji, who had been killed from behind.

The two army soul legions followed behind Lian Po and Wei Wuji, and the Chu army along the way was unable to hinder them in any way.

The Zhao army has already broken through Gusu!

The Chu army fell into the encirclement of the Zhao army.

"King Chu, surrender, the widow can not kill you." Zhao Kuo drove forward and looked at King Chu quietly.

The king of Chu ordered the Chu army to stop resisting, tidied up his appearance, and wiped his face again, but he failed to wipe off the blood stains, but wiped more and more, and the armor on his body was also torn, stained with blood, and looked a little embarrassed.

Only the waist is still straight, and the eyes are still bright.

"No matter." King Chu looked at himself in embarrassment, smiled helplessly, walked to the city wall, and looked at Zhao Kuo in a complicated manner.

"King Zhao, the widow admits to underestimating you. More than ten years ago, I am afraid that no one would have believed that Zhao would dominate the world, and in such a short period of time. Everyone in the world is looking down on you!" King Chu said with emotion.

"All the blame for this battle is borne by the widow, I hope that King Zhao will not be angry with the widow's heirs, and can treat the people of my Chu State well. The widow thanked King Zhao."

After speaking, the king of Chu jumped off the city wall.

Chu State - Death!
