Chapter 234: Grass and Trees Are Soldiers

"Close the gates!"

The king of Chu shouted loudly, and the bloody scene that happened outside Shouchun City at this moment had already scared him to death.

Those black-armored Qin troops are so terrifying, they are simply not human.

If these brutal Qin troops were allowed to rush into the city and capture themselves, he would not even dare to think about that kind of fate.

Therefore, the king of Chu only thought about closing the gate of Shouchun City and locking out all the Qin people who were like beasts and demons. As for the Chu soldiers outside the city who were being chased and killed by the Qin army, and the Chu civilians who frantically poured into the city in the chaos, he had nothing to do with him.

Dead people, don't die and don't die.

On the city wall, the princes and nobles of the Chu State who accompanied them were also terrified, and their faces were as white as earth.

Those upper-class figures of the Chu State who were good at fighting and were quite brave either went to Xiangcheng to defend them, or followed Xiang Yan's army to meet Li Xin, or they were still stranded in their own fiefdoms to recruit soldiers.

There are not many people in Shouchun City who can recognize military affairs, Qu Ming is counted as one, but unfortunately he doesn't know life and death now.

In fact, there were many capable military attachés and generals among the guards in the city, but these people were either in charge of military affairs in the city, or their status was low, and no one climbed the city wall to review the prisoners with the king of Chu. Therefore, when the Qin army drove the Chu army to rout and rushed straight to Shouchun City, there was a panic on the city wall, and for a while, no one could cope with the current situation.

At this moment, not only did the King of Chu order the city gate to be closed, but even Jin Xia and other nobles were screaming for the city guards to close the gate.

Under their series of screams, the Chu soldiers stationed at the city gate could only obey the order and wanted to close the city gate, but the passage of the city gate had already been blocked by the Chu civilians who frantically poured in. The Chu soldiers guarding the door tried in vain to use their swords and halberds to force back those civilians who frantically poured in, but this was nearly 10,000 Chu people, they were frightened by the sudden Qin army, and they did everything to survive, which was something that a group of guards could stop.

The Chu people in the back pushed the Chu people in front and kept squeezing people forward. In the face of the shouting and scolding, the city gate guards who erected the spear halberd in a vain attempt to deter, and the Chu people who were pushed to the front also screamed, and he was pushed by the people behind him, and he couldn't help but bump into the spear halberd.

One, two...... Several people were strung on the tip of the spear, and the panicked guards were quickly knocked over and trampled to the ground by the Chu people who poured in, followed by countless pairs of feet on their bodies. In the face of a life-and-death crisis, everyone wants to run for their lives, regardless of the king's life or not.

The gate of Shouchun City could not be closed, and the Qin army that was chasing after them had already reached dozens of steps below the city.

The eyes of the King of Chu were very good, so good that he could even see the hideous expressions on the dirty faces of those Qin people, coupled with the blood splattered on their bodies when they killed, the image was even more terrifying, really like a demon in the world.

The king of Chu trembled, his face was pale, and he wanted to turn around and flee, but his legs trembled, and he couldn't move his steps.

Fortunately, at this time, Jing Zhao and several other capable nobles reacted.

"Shoot the arrows!"

There are actually many guards on the city wall of Shouchun, plus the guards accompanying the king of Chu, there are actually hundreds of people, but just now it happened suddenly, plus the king and many nobles screamed together, but they were so frightened that they were stunned and did not dare to make a move. Now that he heard someone order, all the guards used their bows and crossbows together to shoot at the approaching Qin people outside the city.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

The arrows flew and landed in front of those Qin people.

It didn't hit, but it also succeeded in forcing this group of Qin soldiers to stop advancing.

Without the cover of shields and equipment, if you force the city gate with a bow and crossbow, the loss will be great.

Seeing this scene, the king of Chu breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to cover his chest, and felt his heart pounding.

The Qin soldiers stopped one by one and looked up at the group of nobles of the Chu State who were gorgeously dressed and wore high crowns on the city wall, and the king of the Chu State who was surrounded in the middle.

"It's a pity, if only we could take advantage of the chaos and rush straight to the city and catch the king of Chu. Attacking the city and capturing the king in one fell swoop is a great achievement! ”

The black buttocks looked at the arrow that was still shaking with its tail feathers a few meters in front of him, and then looked up at the head of the city, and couldn't help but regret: "It's a pity that there are fewer people, if the army can bring five thousand people over to rush to the city, maybe there will be a possibility of success." ”

But Black Butt was just talking casually, and he knew it was impossible.

Although there are nearly 5,000 people under Zhao Tuo's command, after thousands of miles of travel, the state is very bad, plus there is no food for two days, except for the 500 people who have eaten a full meal of meat due to their special tasks. The other 4,000 people were all hungry, and they all fed their hunger on wild vegetables and oranges, and some even dug worms out of the ground to eat.

Black Buttocks once saw someone hungry out of the ground digging a worm, half of the mouth stuffed and chewing, and the body of half of the earthworm was exposed outside the mouth and kept squirming, the scene looked scary and sad.

In this state, the Qin army can raid the Chu army at the foot of the Eight Mountains in one breath, which is already the limit, how can it chase the Chu army to attack the city wall, no matter how strong the Qin people are, they are only flesh and blood, and if they don't eat food, where will they get the strength.

The black buttocks once patted their buttocks and came up with a clever plan.

After they succeeded in raiding the Chu army at the foot of the mountain, they could peel off the armor on the corpses of the Chu people, put on the clothes and armor of the Chu people, pretend to be the Chu army escorting the captives, and then take the opportunity to enter the city.

Isn't it beautiful to have such a clever plan?

However, Zhao Tuo stopped him with a question.

Can the Chu army be completely annihilated?

As long as one of the Chu people escaped to Shouchun City, it would be completely impossible for the black buttocks to succeed.

It is easy to defeat the 5,000 Chu army with a 5,000 Qin army, and if you want to annihilate it all, even if Bai Qi is alive, it may be difficult to do it.

Not to mention the winter fog that surrounds the surroundings, it is not only a cover for the Qin army when it raids, but also a cover for the Chu soldiers when they escape, as long as they run a distance in the fog, it will be difficult to find it again.

Therefore, the trip of the black buttocks was not to capture the king of Chu with 500 people, but for another purpose.

Thinking of this, the black buttocks grinned.

He stepped forward, opened his voice, and shouted at the King of Chu and the ministers and nobles of Chu on the city wall: "You Jing Chu barbarians have listened to Naigong!" ”

"Don't think that you barbarians can be proud of a victory in Huaibei, my Qin country's 30,000 troops have arrived in Huainan, and they are cutting trees and trees on those eight mountains, and when we have built siege equipment, we will come to break this small city of Shouchun, cut off the head of your king of Chu, and send it to Xianyang to exchange for military merits! Hahaha! ”

"Break Shouchun and cut off the head of the king of Chu!"

The five hundred Qin soldiers laughed and shouted together, and the sound shook the sky and spread to the head of Shouchun City, shaking everyone in Chu State.

The black buttocks laughed, turned his back to Shouchun, scooped up the hem of his clothes, lifted the silk, and looked at the eyes of the nobles at the head of the city, revealing his black shiny buttocks.

"See clearly, today's king of Chu is under the command of General Zhao, and the black-buttocked captain is also!"

At the head of Shouchun City, the King of Chu was dizzy.

The self-proclaimed black buttocks Qin military captain under the city, the insulting actions were not the main reason, what really made the king of Chu tremble and fear, was the words in the mouth of the black buttocks.

"Thirty thousand Qin troops?"

"Are you cutting trees and trees on the eight mountains, building siege equipment, and after you have built Shouchun, who is about to fight the valley, cut off the head of the valley?"

King Chu felt that his legs were weak, and his palms trembled violently.

He plucked up his courage and looked up in the direction of the eight mountains.

By this time, it was past noon, and the fog was much lighter than in the morning.

Through this thin mist, the king of Chu could see that the eight mountains were undulating and the terrain was dangerous.

On those eight mountains, in the mist, there was no shadow of the Heavenly God Cloud Zhongjun, but countless tall figures appeared in it, I don't know if it was a person or a tree, anyway, it really looked like there were countless Qin soldiers cutting down trees and building equipment.

The king of Chu was suddenly frightened, and shouted to the ministers on the side in horror: "You can see that on the eight mountains, there are really tens of thousands of Qin troops, all over the mountains and fields, all of them are my enemies!" ”

As he spoke, the king of Chu rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.

The third is more sent.

The strategy of the king of Chu is very good, but it is quite difficult to operate, and Zhao Tuo is powerless.
