Chapter 223: One Arrow to Retreat the Enemy

"Stand back!"

Bai Zhong pulled Wang Li back, and for the time being, he didn't want people outside to know that he was already in the city.

made the generals of the Chu army feel that they were just trapping Li Xin in the city.

Of course, Li Xin understood the reason for this, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the soldiers on the city tower to draw their bows, and the tips of the arrows were aimed at Zhao Yue outside, but he did not shoot, because the distance was too far, and the arrows would only be wasted.

"General Li Xin, surrender."

Zhao Yue came to persuade him to surrender, and said in a loud voice: "Your ability, we can all see it, as long as you can surrender, the position we give you is definitely higher than that in the Qin State." ”

Li Xin responded: "If I don't descend, so what? ”

"If you don't surrender, you can't leave Oak City."

Zhao Yue said very confidently: "After you broke off with 10,000 people, you fled here, and there are only more than 4,000 people left, and I still have 30,000 troops outside the city. ”

Li Xin sneered: "Then you will attack the city and give it a try!" ”

Zhao Yue did not attack the city immediately, and said in a loud voice: "I will give General Li Xin another half day to think about it." ”

With that, he turned and went back.

The 30,000 Chu troops below began to surround this not-so-large city.

Xiang Yan went to chase and kill Meng Tian, no one would come to save Li Xin for the time being, 30,000 people surrounded more than 4,000 people, even if it was consumed, Li Xin could be consumed to death in the city.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yue is now full of confidence.

"General, how's that?"

Li asked anxiously.

Bai Zhong's eyes fell on the city, and said, "Quickly let people tear down all the houses in the city, move the wood and stones to the city tower, and prepare to defend the city." ”

They had no other equipment to defend the city, but to use local materials.

Next, just wait for Zhao Yue to attack.

Half a day passed quickly.

Zhao Yue came outside the city again and asked Li Xin if he surrendered or not.

Li Xin didn't speak, and bent his bow and shot an arrow at Zhao Yue.

The distance is a bit far, and the arrow can't hit Zhao Yue, but the attitude is obvious, if you want to fight to the death, you still declare war on the Chu army.

"Siege!"

Zhao Yue was furious.

Knock knock!

The war drums of the Chu army were beaten, and first an echelon of 10,000 people, carrying a cloud ladder, raised a shield and rushed over.

From yesterday to noon today, it was enough for the Chu army to cut wood to make cloud ladders.

Li Xin ordered the soldiers to draw their bows and shoot, but they did not have many arrows and could not stop the attack of the Chu army, so they soon set up a ladder on the city tower, and a large number of Chu troops climbed up without fear of death.

They had only one idea, to kill these Qin troops, to avenge the dead soldiers of the Chu State, and to avenge the Chu State.

"Smash the wood and stones!"

Li Xin shouted.

The soldiers of the Qin army lifted up the wood and stones that had been removed from the houses in the city and smashed them down the ladder, and suddenly countless soldiers of the Chu army were hit and fell down.

The sound of wailing and shouting of killing were mixed together.

But no matter how effective the wood and stone are, it can't stop the large number of Chu troops.

They held their shields and tried their best to resist, until at last someone climbed to the top of the tower.

"Kill!"

Wang Li took some soldiers with him, and waited for the Chu army to climb the city tower, and at this moment he drew his sword out of its sheath and fought hard.

The Chu army, who had just ascended the city tower, was constantly penetrated by Changge.

Some of the Chu soldiers who came up from behind held shields and stood on the city tower to resist with difficulty, but they could only block for a while, and the final fate was to be killed by the Qin army with a knife, or a sword.

The fighting continued, and the soldiers on both sides of the city tower were red-eyed.

The Qin army continued to resist, and the Chu army continued to ascend the city, and the blood was about to dye the city wall red.

Bai Zhong did not participate in the fight, quietly took out the bow in the space, found an arrow again, looked at Zhao Yue who was commanding below, the bowstring gradually tightened, and an arrow shot out towards Zhao Yue.

As soon as he heard a sharp sound of breaking the air approaching, Zhao Yue didn't have time to figure out what it was, and Bai Zhong's sharp arrow fell directly on his neck.

The strength of the sharp arrow was very strong, and after hitting the person, he also dragged the person backwards, landed more than a zhang away, and nailed Zhaoyue to the ground.

Zhao Yue's eyes widened, and when he died, he didn't know how he died.

"General!"

Seeing this scene, the soldiers around him shouted in panic.

Again, before they could see what was happening, the man died suddenly, and everyone was shocked.

The commander-in-chief is gone, and the remaining Chu soldiers don't know what to do.

This negative news soon spread among the Chu army and spread to the soldiers who were besieging the city, and there was chaos in an instant, all the soldiers retreated in disarray, and the siege battle could no longer be fought.

Li believed in them and defended the oak city.

Looking at the retreating Chu army outside, Li Xin asked, "General, should we go out of the city to fight back?" ”

"If the Chu army doesn't retreat tonight, attack at night!"

Bai Zhong said.

Even if Zhao Yue died, the Chu army still did not retreat.

Li Xin and the others were all ready, and when night fell, they would take their weapons and go out of the city to attack the enemy camp.

Bai Zhong still didn't show up, so he stood on the castle tower and watched the battle.

The purpose of this night attack was to quickly solve the battle, quickly set fire to the enemy camp, create chaos, and then retreat back to the city as many people as they could, even if they were as many as they could.

Li Xin and Wang Li each led two thousand people out of the city, and after a while, Bai Zhong could see the light of fire coming from the Chu army's camp.

The fire was successful, and they did not linger and resolutely brought their troops back.

The Chu army has just lost its general, and now it has been attacked again and the barracks have been burned, so you can imagine how chaotic it can be inside.

"Leave some people on guard, and the rest will rest on duty."

Bai Zhong did not play again, and simply arranged it, waiting to see the result tomorrow.

It's just dawn.

Wang Li said excitedly: "General, the Chu army has retreated!" ”

They came to the city tower and looked outside, the military camp last night was burned to charcoal ashes, and the Chu army couldn't even see a shadow, so they should have left overnight.

After killing an enemy general and burning the enemy camp, the Chu army had no one to command, and I didn't know what else to do except retreat.

Li Xin also thought that this dilemma was difficult to break, who would have thought that the general would just come, and the dilemma would be gone.

"Get out of here first and go find Meng Tian."

Bai Zhong didn't want to stay any longer, fearing that he would encounter the next batch of Chu troops to surround and attack.

At the same time as leaving, he sent people back to the west, if Ning Teng could really send troops to help, he would guide the reinforcements from Nanjun to join him, it is still unclear what Meng Tian's situation is.

Hopefully it's okay.

——

Meng Tian fled to the west of the sleeping hill, and finally came to the vicinity of Pingyu.

Pingyu this city, with Xiong Qi's rebellion, the Chu army in the city also responded, killed the Qin officials, and now it is still the military flag of the Chu army, at this time it was found that a large number of Qin troops were coming, and thousands of Pingyu's guards were hurriedly on guard.

"Take down Pingyu first."

Through the scouts, Meng Tian learned that Xiang Yan's pursuers behind him were still biting himself.

To the west of Pingyu, Xianghe and other places, because of their proximity to Nanjun, no Chu army dared to rebel, and now there are no conditions to cross Rushui, he thinks that taking Pingyu and guarding it, and then letting people through Xianghe, Chongqiu and other places, contact Nanjun or Yingchuan to send reinforcements, can stabilize the situation, and there is no need to flee again.

Even if the reinforcements from Nanjun couldn't come, Meng Tian was confident that he could resist Xiang Yan's Chu army in Pingyu City and drag the Chu army for a while.
