"Quick! Hurry up and bring the arrows here! ”

"Get some more boulders!"

At the head of the city, a large number of Chu people, constantly rushing back and forth, in the angry shouts of the generals of the Chu army, it was clearly seen that every common person was holding stones in their hands, and some people were carrying bundles of arrows, and beside the city road, rows of Chu soldiers quietly looked at the mighty Qin army not far outside the city.

"County Gong, County Yin! The Qin army has at least 50,000 troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hold on! ”

A man in a silk robe walked among the people of Chu who came and went, and then came to the two men, an old man and a strong man, hesitated, but still said.

Qu Fang heard the man's words, frowned slightly, and looked at the Qin army outside the city, Qu Fang naturally understood that with a thousand soldiers and three thousand men in the city alone, it was tantamount to a fool's dream to resist the Qin army.

But within a few tens of miles, it was the clan land of his Qu clan, and Qu Fang was always unwilling to give it to the Qin State.

"If you can't hold it, you have to defend it, for General Xiang Yan and General Jing Qi, delay time!"

Qu Fang said this, and looked at his doorman.

"Yesterday, news has come that General Xiang Yan defeated the Qin army and beheaded 200,000 heads of the Qin army! Seven captains, when General Xiang Yan leads the troops to arrive, Bai Yan will definitely die! ”

After Qu Fang finished speaking, his eyes were full of madness and looked out of the city.

Qu Tian, the county prince on the side, his old face, was also full of melancholy at the moment, but it was a pity that most of the soldiers of his clan had been transferred to Juyang City before, otherwise the Qin army wanted to capture this place, and it would be tantamount to delusion if it didn't take ten days and a half months.

However, Qu Tian couldn't understand why the Qin army was able to attack more than 20 cities in a short period of time, and the speed of this siege was something Qu Tian had never seen in his life dealing with the Qin State, even if it was white.

What the hell is going on?

Also, as the east of the Chu State, why did the important places of Zhongwu City and Hongcheng not play a role in blocking the Qin army at all?

But if Zhongwu City and Hongcheng led the troops to defend it, it would be impossible for the Qin army to arrive here so quickly!

Knock knock~

While thinking about it, Qu Tian listened to the drums of the Qin army outside the city, and the young man fought with the Qin army, and Qu Tian of the United Nations knew the meaning of the Qin army's drums.

"The Qin army is attacking the city, let people prepare!"

Qu Tian opened his mouth to speak, and his old face was a little melancholy and worried.

"No!"

The bent doorman, hearing the words, hurriedly took the order and turned to leave.

At the moment when they turned around and left, all the people who were originally running back and forth in the city road slowly stopped and looked outside the city, and all the soldiers of the Chu State who were holding bows, crossbows, long ges, and swords next to the city wall also fell silent and got up unnaturally.

It turned out that just outside the city, the mighty army of the Qin State, under the eyes of everyone, the black and oppressive phalanx of Qin pawns began to force into the city wall.

This made everyone who saw it feel so nervous that their breathing seemed to stop.

"Quick! The Qin army has been killed! Defend the city! ”

"Prepare the arrows! Kill the Qin army! ”

In the shouts of the generals of the Chu army, the faces of the people were full of fear and sluggishness, and then they came back to their senses, and hurriedly continued to walk, and their tired steps were intuitively accelerated much at this time.

A moment later.

With the Qin army attacking like a sea of people, the soldiers of the Chu army in the city road held bows and crossbows one after another, and fired arrows at the Qin army outside the city.

However, there are too few bows and crossbows in the city road, and there are not many Chu soldiers guarding the city, although it is clear that after seeing the arrows shot at the Qin army, many Qin soldiers were killed by arrows, but compared to the Qin army with a sea of people, the Qin army's casualties were like a few drops of rain falling from the lake, and they were swallowed up by the Qin army behind in an instant.

Four or five arrows passed in a row, and when the Chu soldiers were releasing their arrows, they saw that the Qin army, which had already been killed not far from the city wall, also raised their bows and fired arrows at the city.

This scene made many Chu Jun's eyes startled, and they almost instinctively lowered their heads.

When many young Chu soldiers saw this scene, they didn't react yet, they just looked outside the city, and then a dense rain of arrows fell from the left and right beside them, and one by one the Chu soldiers were hit by arrows and fell to the ground and died.

In the city road, many people did not react, and were directly killed by arrows and fell to the ground.

Countless screams suddenly filled the entire city road.

"Kill !!"

"Kill!!"

Listening to the sound of slaughter, I felt the morale of the Qin army, not to mention the people on the city road, even the soldiers of the Chu army couldn't help but have cold hands and feet, and kept shivering.

Now the gap between their Chu people and the Qin army is not only in the number of people, but also in terms of military reserves and the morale of the soldiers, which are far from being comparable to the Qin State.

Having said that, being in the hinterland of the Chu State, far away from the border, who would have thought that the Qin State would attack here so quickly, which also led to all the previous reserves, which had already accompanied the soldiers and horses in the city to Juyang City.

Looking at the arrows all over the ground in the city road, almost all the Chu soldiers were full of despair, and at this time, the impact sound from behind them made the Chu soldiers' hearts tighten, and some of the old soldiers got up and looked outside the city, and instantly saw the Qin soldiers outside the city, who were climbing up one by one with ladders to the city.

"Qin Jun is waiting to land in the city, kill quickly!"

"Kill !!"

Under the reminder of the old soldiers of the Chu army, the soldiers of the Chu army who were hiding behind the wall raised their bows and crossbows again, braved the rain of arrows, and released arrows at the head of the city.

The people of Chu were also under the orders of the generals of the Chu army, and they constantly carried huge stones and giant trees to each other and threw them outside the city.

In a flash.

Outside the city, the Qin soldiers who kept climbing on the ladders were hit by arrows or declined, and even some of the ladders were hit by boulders on the beams, making a faint sound, and then the boulders smashed into the Qin soldiers outside the city.

But all the Qin soldiers seemed to be red-eyed, and whenever a Qin soldier fell, there would be countless hands to snatch the shield, hold the shield on his head, and climb up the ladder from the city.

One after another, it seemed that everyone was not afraid of those arrows and boulders, those Qin pawns who fell down and died miserably, or rolled in pain, it seemed that other Qin pawns could not see it, and even some of the anxious Qin pawns, even if they did not have a wooden shield, scrambled to take a sharp sword and climbed towards it.

All the Qin pawns were crazy, and at a glance, all the Qin pawns on the ladder to the city were desperately climbing.

"Kill !!"

"Kill!!"

The sound of slaughter resounded throughout the sky.

In front of the Qin army in the distance, under the gaze of a group of Qin army generals, under the cold wind, everyone patiently watched the scene of the city wall.

The main general, Bai Yan, riding a war horse, looked at the city wall from afar, watching the Qin army's offensive becoming more and more ferocious, and the defensive strength of the city head was visibly weakened to the naked eye, Bai Yan knew that this city would soon be captured by the Qin army.

"Report! Checkmate! In the direction of Lingcheng, the army of Chu was discovered! That's no less than 100,000 people! ”

A soldier from the scout camp hurriedly rode a war horse and came to Bai Yan to report to him.

Hear the words.

Bai Yan was not surprised, but the generals such as HP, Yan Mao, and Xun Shuo, as well as Cai Li, Zhong Lihao, and others who had surrendered to Qin, frowned.

"It should be Jing Qi who leads the troops back to defense! What is the right thing now? ”

Zhongli Hao took the lead in looking at Bai Yan and spoke.

When Cai Li heard this, he frowned in confusion and looked at everyone.

"But isn't there General Wang Ben stationed in Jiaocheng? Why can Jing Qi still lead an army of 100,000 to return to defense? ”

Cai Li's words made Zhong Lihao feel vaguely uneasy in his heart, Jing Qi led the army of Chu State early to attack Jiaocheng, why did he dare to defend himself now, and even the soldiers and horses did not seem to have much damage, what is going on?

Could it be that Jing Qi has never attacked the city?

"General Bai Yan, if you don't wait for us, immediately mobilize all the Qin troops and fight Jing Qi for a decisive battle! Shouchun is close at hand, Shouchun is extinguished, and the general is an immortal achievement! ”

Zhongli Hao looked at Bai Yan and suggested that in Zhong Lihao's eyes, after Bai Yan defeated Xiang Yan's Chu army left in Qufu, now as long as he defeats the army led by Jing Qi again, there is nothing that can stop Bai Yan from attacking Shouchun and destroying Chu.

Speaking of this suggestion, Zhong Li Hao is also selfish, after descending to Qin to help Bai Yan, Zhong Li Hao and Zhong Lichuan brothers have no way out, and the same is true for Cai Li and other generals.

If Bai Yan could not destroy Chu, or the King of Qin suddenly changed his mind and ordered to retreat, then they would have no way to retreat, Cai Li and the others' clansmen would be killed, and the two brothers would lose Zhongwu City again and become useless people.

"Success, not in a day, Jing Qi led the army back to defense, and did not care about General Wang Ben of Jiaocheng, there must be a reason!"

Bai Yan didn't tell anyone else what Xiong Qi said during this time.

And now, when I saw that the soldiers of the Qin army had killed and injured the city, in an instant, the city was full of screaming and killing sounds, and there were scenes of you slashing and killing back and forth.

"Enter the city first and then make plans!"

Bai Yan ordered.

Hearing this, HP on the side looked at the city in the distance.

"Kill!"

HP drew his sword, pointed it at the city, and commanded loudly.

In an instant, all the generals under HP's command, as well as all the heralds, drew their swords one after another and slaughtered towards the city, and the mighty Qin army, like a tsunami, all went towards the city gate.

The number of Chu soldiers on the city was already limited, and it was not filled if it was a dead one, and in the face of the Qin army that continued to climb the city, all the advantages were gone, and more and more Chu soldiers began to have the idea of escaping.

Inside the city road.

After Qu Fang slashed a Qin pawn with a sword, he keenly noticed that although the clothes on the Qin pawn's body were black, the armor was made of Wei, and Qu Fang was stunned in place for a moment.

Wei State Surrender!!

Qu Fang stared at his pupils, looking at the Qin army who went to the city road and fought with the Chu soldiers in disbelief.

Qu Fang couldn't believe that these Qin soldiers in front of him who were going to the city to fight like they didn't want to die were actually all Wei people!

"Impossible! Why did the Wei people work so hard for the Qin people? ”

Qu Fang's bloodshot eyes, in addition to madness, also gradually revealed a trace of shock and incomprehension.

"My lord, beware!"

There was an exclamation in his ears, and he turned his head instinctively, and then he saw two Qin pawns, after jumping into the city road one after another, one of them directly slashed Hao to the ground, and blood splashed on the face of the Qin pawn, but the Qin pawn's eyes were as crazy as himself, and when he looked over, he looked happy and excited.

Under the wide embroidered robe, Qu Fang held a sword to block Qin Pawn's assassination, looked at Hao's corpse, turned his head angrily and slashed down with a sword, Qin Pawn fell to the ground in an instant, but Qu Fang didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, another Qin pawn also killed him with an excited face, and Qu Fang hurriedly blocked.

During this period, Qu Fang saw with his own eyes that another Qin pawn who had climbed the city tower was stunned when he saw him, and then his eyes widened and he rushed towards him frantically.

"Kill !!"

Some of the clan's cronies and generals, after slashing and killing Qin pawns at first, also stepped forward one after another to help Qu Fang resist Qin pawns, but after one by one their cronies were slashed and killed, not only Qin pawns who climbed up the city road, but also Qin pawns in the city road, and they also killed him one after another.

Qu Fang stood in place, after slashing and killing a Qin pawn with all his might, blood splashed on his face, for some reason, Qu Fang gasped, suddenly noticed that the surroundings were getting quieter, and turned his head to look, only to find that except for himself, all his cronies and doormen had fallen in a pool of blood, lying in the middle of the corpse in confusion.

"Kill !!"

"Kill!!"

In an instant, countless Changge stabbed towards Qu Fang, Qu Fang took a deep breath directly, his eyes became hollow, and in an instant, before Qu Fang had time to fall to the ground, he saw countless Qin soldiers rushing forward, holding Qin swords and slashing at Qu Fang's head, competing for Qu Fang's head.

The gates slowly opened.

The soldiers of the Qin army, armed with Chang Ge sharp swords, poured into the city one after another.

Half an hour later.

In the mansion in the city, just as Bai Yan came to the mansion of Yin Qufang of the county and watched boxes of gold and silver treasures moved to the courtyard, he suddenly saw a general hurriedly bringing a scholar to the front.

"Report to the general, this person said that there is something important, and he wants to report to the general!"

After the general finished speaking, he stepped aside.

Beside Bai Yan, generals such as Xun Shuo, HP, and Yan Mao also looked at the man in his thirties.

"General, my name is Yan, I am a guest of Qu Fang, yesterday in the mansion, I have heard, Qu Fang has a word, General Xiang Yan is in the city father, defeated the Qin army, Li Xin, Meng Tian fled, the Chu army beheaded the Qin army 200,000, seven captains."

The man named Xiao didn't wait for Bai Yan to speak, he knelt directly on the ground, trembling and trembling, and occasionally raised his head slightly, his eyes were full of fear, afraid of being killed.

"What? General Li Xin's defeat? ”

"This ......"

Cai Li, Zhong Lihao and the others, when they heard the man's words, their faces were taken aback, they looked at each other, their faces were very ugly, and they even panicked.

Yan Mao and HP looked at each other worriedly.

Xun Shuo was surprised, and was about to talk to Bai Yan, when he found that Bai Yan frowned slightly, his eyes were full of solemnity, but it seemed that he was ...... Not very surprised, which made Xun Shuo puzzled.

"No wonder Jing Qi can lead the army of Chu to come, the general, I'm afraid General Wang Ben, has already led the troops back to defend the Qin State! We're waiting for ...... back."

Cai Li suddenly thought of Jing Qi's arrival, and after hearing this man's words, he immediately reacted, and looked at Bai Yan with fear in his eyes.

Zhong Lihao and the others also felt cold hands and feet at this time, so they could only look at Bai Yan, hoping that Bai Yan could think of a countermeasure right now.

"This news has not been confirmed to be true or false! Those who dare to disturb the morale of the army will be killed! ”

Bai Yan didn't turn his head to look at anyone, but one sentence made everyone's hearts flutter.

"No!"

"No!!"

Yan Mao, Hewlett-Packard and others have given orders.

"Send Xizuo to the State of Chu to find out the news!"

Bai Yan said to Xun Shuo, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at HP: "Order the whole army to rest outside the city and distribute the rewards, remember, it must be in front of the Chu army." ”

"No!"

HP gave up his hand, his eyes were full of solemnity and looked at the man, thinking back to the man's words, HP's heart was full of worry, but he also knew that no matter whether the matter was true or not, he must not shake the military spirit at the moment.

After receiving the order, HP turned around and left, Bai Yan watched HP leave, and then looked at Cai Li, Zhong Lihao and others.

"Don't worry about this, you will first send this matter to their respective clans, you will surrender to Qin, whether this matter is true or not, if someone with a heart gets this news, they will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble!"

Bai Yan commanded.

When Cai Li, Zhong Lihao and the others heard this, although they looked frightened, they also knew that Bai Yan was right, and they all took orders from Bai Yan, glanced at each other, and turned around to leave together.

"General! Now that Jing Qi has arrived, can the 30,000 Chu State soldiers be used? ”

After Yan Mao saw that most of the people had left, he came to Bai Yan's side and asked curiously.

"It works!"

Bai Yan looked at the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in front of him, since Ban Ding's death, the affairs of the Ruoao clan were learned by the Chu State, and the Ruoao clan was searched and hunted down everywhere in the Chu State, at this time, there was no way out.

During this period of time, in addition to taking money and rewarding the soldiers, there were two reasons why the city could be attacked so quickly, one was that the Chu army had insufficient soldiers to defend the city, and the other was the help of the Ruoao clan.

Especially the Ruo Ao family, after contact, Bai Yan Fang became more and more emotional, he really underestimated Ban Ding at the beginning, this Ruo Ao Six Pawns are lurking in almost all cities, with the identity of Chu people, neighbors, and even some people have wives and children.

Thinking of the burning of the grain and grass of the Chu State, half of it had been handed over to the Ruoao clan, and Xiong Qi had also sent it back to Shouchun, Bai Yan turned his head and looked at Yan Mao.

"Those Chu pawns can't be used, they have to be used! In the past two days, it has been immediately found out that all the generals in the Chu army, above the commander, will be enthroned! If Xiang Yan had really defeated Li Xin, he would use those Chu generals to exchange for the captured Qin generals, and all the generals above the Wu Commander would also be sent back. ”

Bai Yan commanded.

Yan Mao was taken aback when he heard Bai Yan's words, and his face was stunned.

"General, everything above the commander should be released? This...... If those people are allowed to go back, the Chu State will soon be able to train a large army again! General, the last general, it's better not to let go! ”

Yan Mao said worriedly.

Yan Mao, as the leader of the troops, understands that contrary to those Chu generals, how well an army is trained and how long it can go to the battlefield often depends on the number of veterans, not the generals.

If you look at the previous Qufu before, you can understand that when HP was training those Wei pawns, all the military commanders were Wei veterans, and the top ones were all HP's former generals.

This is also the reason why this Qin army, which is composed of ordinary people and Wei soldiers, can go to the battlefield so quickly, and is very obedient and well-trained.

And in the army of Chu State, the same is true, most of those Chu army commanders and the like, most of them are soldiers who are good at leading troops and drills, and they are also the generals of the Chu army and the henchmen of the generals of Chu State.

Then soon, he will be able to pull out a large army, wouldn't this help the Chu State?

Thinking of this, this had to make Yan Mao worried.

"You need to give to you! Only when the state of Chu has great benefits, coupled with the requirements of the people of the Chu generals, will the state of Chu not hesitate to agree to change generals, and even give other conditions. ”

Bai Yan said this and looked at the sky.

"It's snowing! Chu just wants to pull out a new army, and it has to wait until next year! If we let these people go back so easily, will the Chu State be suspicious? Do you want to investigate? As far as we are concerned, if we let these generals above the army commander return to the Chu State, we will immediately have more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in the blink of an eye! ”

Looking at the weather that was about to snow, and thinking that the Ruoao clan had already begun to do something to the grain and grass of the Chu army, Bai Yan turned his head, looking at Yan Mao still with a puzzled and thoughtful look, he couldn't help laughing, and motioned for Yan Mao to look at the boxes of jewels in front of him with him.

"Chu people are all human beings, everyone has human nature, during this period of time, in front of the 30,000 Chu soldiers, to give meritorious rewards to the soldiers, in the past, when sending those Chu military commanders and even chiefs back to Chu State, they also had to distribute these gold, silver and jewelry to those Chu army generals in front of those more than 30,000 Chu soldiers! Let those generals take it back! ”

Bai Yan said softly.

When Yan Mao heard this, he was surprised, and he wanted to say why he let people go back and send so much money! But after reacting, his pupils shrank, and his face suddenly showed a happy smile.

"No!!"

Yan Mao hurriedly surrendered his hand and turned away excitedly.

Bai Yan watched Yan Mao leave, and looked at the sky again, Li Xinzhen was defeated and suffered heavy casualties, so the reason must still be Changping Jun.

Thinking back to what he had secretly investigated when he was still in Daliang.

Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun are the rebel generals here here, how could it not be a powerful means for Bai Yan to fight with Xiang Yan, Jing Qi, and Changping Jun, just like before, the more people who reassure Changping Jun, the more things that make Changping Jun feel at ease, the more Bai Yan can rely on it.

"General! It's been arranged! ”

After Xun Shuo arranged for Xizuo to leave at this time, he watched Yan Mao leave, walked to Bai Yan's side again, looking at Bai Yan's appearance, Xun Shuo seemed to have guessed something, settled down in his heart, and did not ask.
