Chapter 590: Seeing Gongzi Sheng Before the War
All the Qin soldiers in the city raised their bows and arrows one after another, and everyone was concentrating, looking at the Chu army that was approaching like a sea of tide in the distance, looking at those ladders and siege vehicles, and the eyes of the Qin soldiers were full of determination.
Killing people is just losing their heads, they finally lived such a life, got their current status, thought of their wives and children and parents in their homeland, thinking of the rewards they had finally received these days, looking at those Chu soldiers, even the elderly people in Qin's pawn, holding Changge's hands full of wrinkles and bones, they were getting harder and harder.
"I've seen General Bai!"
In front of the city house, Tian Ding saw Bai Yan coming, took a deep breath, and looked at the mighty Chu army outside the city, as well as the Chu army that was pressed into the distant sky, and bowed to Bai Yan.
"Why is Lord Tian here?"
Bai Yan walked a few steps in front of Tian Ding and stopped, and after returning the salute, he looked at Tian Ding with a frown.
When Tian Ding heard this, he did not answer Bai Yan's words in a hurry, but turned sideways, and raised his hand to introduce the two men beside Bai Yan under the wide-sleeved robe with white lines.
"Childe Sheng! Childe! ”
Tian Ding's voice fell, and the two men bowed to Bai Yan one after another.
"Tian Sheng! I've seen General White! ”
"Tian Zhen! I've seen General White! ”
The words of the two men, he didn't feel anything when he heard them, but Guan Shou frowned for the first time and looked at the two men.
Bai Yan also looked at the two people in front of him with a look of surprise, he grew up in the Qi country since he was a child, Bai Yan naturally knew that these two people were the sons of the king of Qi and the sons of the Qi country.
But Bai Yan never thought that now that the army of the Chu State outside the city was fierce and was about to attack the city, he would meet these two princes of the Qi State on such an occasion.
"Bai Yan, I've seen the two sons!"
Bai Yan was not rude.
"Now that the war is coming, I don't know why the two sons are here?"
After Bai Yanli finished, he glanced at Tian Ding, and then looked at Gongzi Sheng and Gongzi.
Gongzi Zhen turned his head and couldn't help but look at his brother, although his eyes were vague, Bai Yan still noticed that Gongzi Zhen came here, obviously reluctantly, and there was a high probability that he was pulled here by Gongzi Sheng.
"I want to ask the general to return to Qi!"
Gongzi didn't hide it, and when he heard Bai Yan's inquiry, he didn't hesitate to say it directly, looking at Bai Yan with a straight look.
That look, even Bai Yan, felt that some hairs stood on end, and he felt a little good feeling of Longyang.
"Return to the !!"
The man beside Bai Yan originally looked indifferent, but when he heard this, he was immediately unhappy, looked at the general in front of him, and then looked at Gongzi Sheng with displeasure.
Guan Shou was the same, that look, even Tian Ding frowned slightly when he saw this.
"The big war is coming, please leave the prince quickly, so as not to be affected by the war, Bai Yan is a Qin general, thanks to the love of King Qin, and has no heart to return to Qi!"
Bai Yan sighed, looking helpless, and then looked at Tian Ding.
"Lord Tian, please take the two sons out of the city, Bai Yan will order someone to open the city gate!" Let Childe go! ”
Bai Yan arched his hand and said.
Bai Yan felt that he had already said it obviously, and even Gongzi nodded when he saw this, his eyes were full of anxiety and looked at his brother, and then looked at Tian Ding.
But Gongzi Sheng was not affected by Bai Yan's words.
"General Bai, now outside the city, there are no less than 200,000 people in the army of Chu, plus Changping Jun rebelled against Qin, Qin General Li Xin was defeated, 200,000 Qin troops died at the hands of Xiang Yan, Wang Ben has withdrawn his troops and left, Jing Qi also commands the army of Chu, eyeing the tiger, now there is only one general, the general knows that there is only one death, why bother to lose his life in vain!"
Gongzi Sheng frowned and said bluntly to Bai Yan.
Tian Ding also looked at Bai Yan silently, on the way here, they had already received the news that Changping Jun had rebelled, Li Xin's army was defeated, and Wang Ben of Wei led his troops to evacuate.
Now at war with the Chu State, only Bai Yan, the army of the Qin State, and only Bai Yan is facing the Chu State.
Thinking that Jing Qi had already commanded the army of Chu and cut off Bai Yan's retreat at any time, if Bai Yan didn't want to leave secretly, I was afraid that there would be only one way to die.
"By Wang En, Bai Yan, I am willing to die in battle!"
Bai Yan simply and directly refused to Gongzisheng, and he also did not hesitate.
Bai Yan knows better than anyone that Gongzisheng is the prince of Chu State, and every word Gongzisheng says to him at the moment is very likely to reach Yingzheng's ears, so Bai Yan basically expressed his loyalty to Yingzheng without hesitation.
At worst, if he is really defeated, if Yingzheng learns what he is saying now, after the world is unified, he will be doubly kind to his parents.
"Send Childe down the city tower!"
Bai Yan obviously didn't want to entangle with Gongzi Sheng anymore, so he commanded directly to Gongzi.
Hearing this, he bowed his hand to Bai Yan, and then stepped forward to look at Gongzisheng, who had been killing for most of his life, which made Tian Ding suddenly frown and take a step forward, and Gongzizhen was even more frightened, his face changed, and his eyes were full of panic and fear.
"Childe, please!"
He said, his tone quite unkind.
"Bai Yan, Yingzheng is a tyrant, why bother to serve Yingzheng!"
Gongzisheng looked at Bai Yan sideways and said unwillingly, but the move of taking a step forward at this time made Tian Ding full of jealousy, thought about it, and after glancing at the persistent Bai Yan, he turned to look at Gongzisheng.
"Childe, let's go down to the city tower first!"
Tian Ding said to Gongzisheng, seeing that Gongzisheng was unwilling and didn't seem to want to leave, he hurriedly gave a look and shook his head vaguely.
"This is a battlefield!"
Tian Ding whispered to Gongzisheng.
This is also to remind Gongzisheng that this is the battlefield, and in the face of the persistent Bai Yan, if he continues to talk about it, it will only make Bai Yan, who is the main general, more and more disgusted.
After Gongzi Sheng was silent for a while, he also seemed to understand Tian Ding's meaning, and finally hesitated and nodded in agreement.
However, before leaving, Gongzisheng still gave up his hand to Bai Yan.
"If the general doesn't return to Qi and rise, he won't leave! Even if the Chu army besieged the city. ”
Gongzi Sheng said with a persistent expression, his eyes looked directly at Bai Yan's side face, and then turned around and walked past him.
Seeing this, Childe hurriedly followed, afraid of being one step behind.
Tian Ding was also about to leave, but when he passed by Bai Yan's side, Tian Ding thought about it and stopped.
"Before I left Linzi, I saw the old woman, and the old woman is still looking forward to your return, don't die in Chudi......"
Tian Ding said softly, and after finishing speaking, he walked towards the city road.
Bai Yan turned his head sideways, looked at Tian Ding's departing back, thought of his grandmother, turned his head to look at the army of Chu that was getting closer and closer outside the city, and couldn't help but recall that when he was a child, when his grandmother was at home, the smile she showed when she saw him always left the good ones to him.
Come back to your senses.
Bai Yan took a deep breath and looked at the Qin pawns in the city road with firm eyes, and Bai Yan's gaze was the same.
Also, it is said that Yingzheng is a tyrant, but who in the world can know that if Yingzheng is a tyrant, the terracotta warriors and horses that have shocked for thousands of years in later generations are all made of earth, not white bones.
If Yingzheng is really a tyrant, how can the scholars of the Central Plains countries, especially the Qi State, have a chance to oppose Qin after Yingzheng's death.
You must know that in later generations, it is unknown whether Qi Wangjian was really starved to death or retaliated by the Qi people, but the relatives of the Qi royal family basically continued to stay in the Qi country unharmed.
Think of these.
Bai Yan looked at the army of the State of Chu approaching outside the city, in this battle, although he was the only one of the soldiers and horses of the State of Qin, he also had to give it a try and destroy the State of Chu!
How will future generations evaluate Ying Zheng, Bai Yan doesn't care so much, but right now, Bai Yan is a Qin general, and Ying Zheng is a person who worships the general!
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Shoot !!"
With the roars of the generals in the distance, they sounded one after another, and countless arrows in the city road flew out of the city in an instant, Bai Yan looked in front of the city house, on the left and right, thousands of arrows were all shot towards the army of Chu.
Bai Yan clearly saw the attacking army of Chu, although there were siege vehicles, ladders and the like in front, and even the Chu army had countless shields, but as a wave of arrows went down, it was still obvious that in the sea of Chu like a tide, many spots seemed to be different from the surrounding sea of Chu soldiers, and they were fleeting.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Quick!"
There were no drums in the city, only countless shouts, under the wave of arrows, the Chu army got closer and closer to the city, and at this time the Chu army also began to take out bows and crossbows under the city and fire arrows into the city road.
In front of Bai Yan, with Guan Shou's gesture, rows of Qin soldiers holding wooden shields stood in front of Bai Yan one after another, raising their shields to block.
With the arrows coming and going, there were also screams everywhere in the city road, and many Qin soldiers who were hit by the arrows were not killed, and the severe pain made them constantly cover the place where the arrows were shot, and wail loudly.
Bai Yan was also prepared for these, in the city road full of Qin soldiers, the narrow walkway vacated by the inner wall, in addition to providing support, another purpose was to carry the injured soldiers to the city for treatment.
"Lost!"
Under the order of a Qin army general, the soldiers of the Qin army, who had been hiding behind the shield soldiers, ignored the rain of arrows, stepped forward to hold up the porcelain filled with water, and threw them towards the approaching siege vehicles and ladders, and even some soldiers were holding small wine jugs containing wine.
As those porcelain smashed into the ladders and siege vehicles, they shattered one after another when they touched it, and the black water was instantly sprinkled on the wooden stakes, and even some Chu soldiers were smashed all over their bodies.
Before the Chu soldiers came back to their senses, the next moment, torches flew out of the city in an instant, some smashed the Chu soldiers, and some of them instantly ignited after touching the water.
The smoke of gunpowder is filled, and the figure of the Chu army wailing under the city can be seen everywhere, and what is even more frightening is that the water is wet, and if it is touched, it will burn, which also leads to a lot of riots among the Chu army.
"Kill!!"
"Kill !!"
The soldiers of Chu were on the front car, and they pushed away the planks one after another, rushing towards the city road.
However, the Qin soldiers had already held the bow and crossbow, and fired arrows at the Chu soldiers, and as the Chu soldiers fell to the ground and fell from the high chariot, the other Chu soldiers still wanted to jump to the city road, and the Qin soldiers held Changge, and they were stabbed directly in mid-air.
I don't know if Xiang Yan's promise was too high, or if the Chu army had just won a big victory and had high morale, Bai Yan, who was standing in front of the city tower, clearly saw that under such a dense defense, some Chu soldiers still jumped into the city road, causing a riot.
There were even Chu soldiers who killed three people in a row.
"Take people, be sure to kill those people, tell the soldiers, kill all these people who have ascended the city, and kill the Chu army until it is cold, and the Chu army will not dare to attack the city again!"
Bai Yan commanded Guan Shou.
At this time, Bai Yan could see at a glance that those Chu troops who had ascended first were all warriors who were good at fighting and had always been the first to ascend, not only were they not afraid of death, but they were also very experienced, which had to make Bai Yan vigilant.
Xiang Yan wanted to crush the morale of the city in one day, and even wanted to break through the city tower.
"No!"
When Guan Shou heard this, he gave up his hand, and then turned around and left.
Fortunately, before the battle, Bai Yan and the soldiers of the Qin army had spoken, so that the soldiers of the Qin army understood that the city was broken, and the family was killed, so at this time, in the city road, watching the soldiers of Chu ascend the city tower, one by one the soldiers of the Qin army were not dying, and they were angry and killed the Chu soldiers.
Even if the Chu army ascended first, no matter how brave it was, it could kill one or two, but with the rush of all the Qin soldiers who did not hesitate to kill, even the experienced Chu army ascended first, and his eyes were flustered.
"Kill !!"
"Kill!!"
In the blink of an eye, under the siege and killing of the Qin army, they were cut to the ground by random knives, and then they were slashed and killed by knives one after another.
Qin pawn sees blood!
That was complete madness, some Qin soldiers who had lost their minds even let out hoarse shouts, looking at those Chu soldiers who were approaching the car, their eyes revealing unprecedented madness.
This scene made the soldiers of Chu who originally thought that it would be easy to capture the city tower, and they were all stunned, especially after getting on the car, standing on the car and looking at the long city road, there was killing intent everywhere, staring at him nakedly, the eyes seemed to be endless, and they were even crazier than them.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Kill all the Chu army!!"
Under the constant shouts of the Qin generals, the initial offensive of the Chu army soon made no progress.
The generals of Hewlett-Packard and Guan Shou, with their cronies in the city road, constantly slashed and killed all the Chu soldiers who landed in the city.
As the cloud ladder began to rise smoke, a moment later, to Bai Yan and all the Qin troops, more and more smoke rose from under the city, this smoke was very pungent, obviously not the smoke of burning wood from the water, but the smoke of burning grass mixed with hay.
There are many soldiers who are choked by these smokes, and even some soldiers are caught off guard, and suddenly encounter a large puff of smoke in the smoke, and they are so smoked that they can't open their eyes in an instant, and tears flow.
"Immediately order the soldiers downstairs in the city to cover their noses with a damp cloth and come up to replace them! Fast!!! ”
When Bai Yanfang saw the burning smoke, he thought of the Chu army's move of sending elite troops to ascend at the beginning, and instantly understood the intention of the Chu army, and hurriedly commanded his cronies.
Then Bai Yan didn't care about anything else, saw that he had returned, drew his sword and pointed to the other side.
"Hold over there! Don't let the Chu army ascend the city! ”
Bai Yan was also choked by the growing smoke, but he didn't care so much, and after seeing the nod, he hurriedly took the other cronies and walked towards the other side.
More and more smoke obscured the Qin army's view, but the Qin army shot indiscriminately out of the smoke.
On a temporary car, a soldier of Chu in his thirties jumped into the city road in the smoke, and then took a sharp sword and slashed at a Qin soldier, splattering some blood on his body.
But the Chu soldiers didn't care at all, and in this trance, in the smoke, more and more Chu soldiers jumped into the city road one after another, and pounced on the Qin soldiers when they entered the city road.
However, at this time, when the thirty-year-old Chu sergeant was proud, he turned around and felt the force behind his knees, and the moment he knelt down, his neck felt a tingling pain, as if he had been drained of his whole body strength, this Chu sergeant raised his hand and touched his neck with all his strength, looking at the blood on his hands, his eyes were full of disbelief.
Falling to the ground, the soldiers of Chu didn't know who killed him from beginning to end, and his eyes were scattered, and his thoughts returned to the scene before he entered the Xiang army, and he was finally unconscious.
Inside the smoke.
The two Chu soldiers, who had just jumped into the city road, watched the figure approach, and before they could cut it with their swords, they were slashed by the figure.
Bai Yan took the blood-stained Zhan Lu and looked at any Chu soldiers who appeared in the city road step by step.
Many Qin pawns didn't react at first, but after reacting, they fought with Chu pawns one after another, and when they saw Bai Yan holding a sword and killing the enemy with them, their morale was even higher.
Inside the city.
On the street, a horse-drawn carriage drove slowly.
"Brother, if not, let's go back to Qi Kingdom! Bai Yan has already made up his mind to fight for Yingzheng, and it is too dangerous for us to be here! ”
Gongzi Zhen looked at his brother with a pleading face, and then looked at Tian Ding pleadingly.
Originally, it was in the name of his father to pick up Concubine Chan and return to Qi State, but the arrival of his brother and Tian Ding did not say, and he learned that Bai Yan had returned to Qufu, so he had to let him go with him.
said that the two princes of Qi took the risk to invite each other, so as to show their sincerity and move Bai Yan.
It's not.
When he came here and saw the mighty army of Chu outside the city, Gongzi Zhen instantly regretted it, he knew that he would go back to Qi State for everything, now it's good, he came here with his brother, and his brother saw that the Chu army was about to break the city, and he didn't plan to leave, and he didn't have any thoughts at all.
His son is a son of Qi State, and he doesn't enjoy the glory and wealth, so he has to come here to find some crimes!
"Bai Yan can't die here, the Qin State has already killed 200,000 troops, the Qin general Wang Ben led the Qin army to retreat, and after the Chu army defeated the Qin army under Bai Yan, it will not only recover Qufu, but also will inevitably take advantage of the situation to annex Wei, and at that time, the Qi State will be in danger!"
Gongzi Sheng looked at Gongzi Zhen with an angry face and said seriously.
If the Qin State first destroyed Han Zhao and then swallowed Yan Wei, which made the Qi State uneasy, then at this time, with the rebellion of Changping Jun and the great victory of the Chu army, it was the Chu State that was a threat to the Qi State.
This also made Gongzisheng more and more aware of how dangerous and helpless a country is without a good general.
If the State of Qi is strong, how can they be afraid of the State of Qin, if there is a State of Qi that is a famous general, how can they let the State of Chu annex the land of Wei, they of the State of Qi can completely reap the benefits of the fisherman.
So......
Gongzi Sheng's rise this time became more and more determined, and he was determined to return to Qi with Bai Yan.
If Bai Yan's army is defeated, even if Gongzi Sheng is desperately in danger of being killed, he must threaten the Chu State and let Bai Yan go, otherwise the Qi State will ally with the Qin State to attack Chu and immediately send troops!
Gongzisheng didn't know if this move could threaten the Chu State, but at the moment, Gongzisheng couldn't care so much.
"Lord Tian!"
Seeing that he couldn't convince his brother, Gongzi could only look at Tian Ding with a begging gaze.
"The defenders in the city are all Wei soldiers and Wei people, Bai Yan can't resist the army of Chu at all, and Bai Yan must be saved!"
Tian Ding sighed, and the thoughts in his heart were the same as Gongzisheng's.
Bai Yan can't die!
Moreover......
If it weren't for him, a good minister like Bai Yan would be in the court of Qi State.
Bai Yan never blamed Tian Ding, but the more this was the case, Tian Ding's heart, there was a sense of guilt, buried deep in his heart, when he saw the king of Qi, he would make Tian Ding sit still, when he saw his colleagues in the court, he would feel a pain in his heart, and when he saw countless people with lofty ideals in Qi country, he would be depressed and uncomfortable.
"Bai Yan made a mistake! However, if it weren't for the sudden rebellion of Changping Jun, Bai Yan would not have fallen to the Wei people to defend the city, and even the elite would not have had time to mobilize, think about the battle of Miaoshui, Bai Yan swallowed the 100,000 people of the Chu army, east of the Chu State, no Chu army can resist Bai Yan! ”
Gongzisheng couldn't help but glance at Tian Ding, shook his head, and when he talked about Bai Yan, his eyes were full of brilliance.
