469 Peony Tiger's doubts

"Lord, there is clearly a lot of ...... in this oil" Shaohu's eyes widened, and there was a big doubt in his small eyes.

Xiong Wuliang glanced back at Shaohu and said as a matter of course: "Of course." ”

The river on the outskirts of Yingdu, which was once blocked by Sima Cuo, has already been dredged - there are Ping'a water divisions and Han River water divisions of Chu State who continuously transported supplies on the river to continuously supply blood to Yingdu...... Of course, there is no shortage of materials in Yingdu.

At this moment, Yingdu is not alone in the battle!

Through shipping, the sailors not only transported necessary materials such as grain, grass, ordnance, and fire oil from outside Yingdu, but also continued to transport more soldiers.

At this moment, Xiong Wuliang's troops are already nearly 50,000!

The main reason is that the Qin, Wei and Han coalition forces have done too much evil - as soon as they heard that these invaders were coming, the towns around Yingdu were extremely enthusiastic about joining the army.

In addition, Xiong Wuliang has no shortage of food and copper coins in his hands at the moment...... The country of Chu originally had a large population, and as soon as everyone heard that they were fighting with the Marquis of Quyang, the last trace of worry was gone.

Peony Tiger was stunned!

"It's not that ...... Isn't there a lot of kerosene? The chest hair was scratching at the black and thick chest hair in confusion.

Xiong Wuliang stood still, with a sinister smile on his face: "Who said that?" ”

Peony Tiger scratched his head and recalled......

It seems that no one has said that.

But......

"If the fire oil is enough, why didn't Sima Coo's attack on the city a few days ago?" Shaohu asked-

"At that time, the lord ordered that half of the catapult should be thrown with oil, and the other half with stones."

"If you throw the oil with all your might...... The 10,000 elite of the coalition army will all fall outside the Yingdu City! How could they leave a few thousand remnants of the army and flee back? ”

When Shaohu said this, the expression on his straight face looked a little blamed.

At the beginning, the first wave of people who rushed into battle were all Qin Wei Han's elite soldiers.

If they can be left behind, not only will the enemy's high-end combat strength be severely damaged, but the morale of the enemy army will also be greatly damaged.

As a result, Xiong Wuliang ordered - to throw fire oil in limited quantities.

Thousands of enemy soldiers still managed to save their lives and flee back.

Xiong Wuliang smiled.

"You reckless man, now you have a long brain......" Xiong Wuliang chuckled and praised, still not explaining Shaohu's question: "Let's go, go and see my treasure house of Da Chu!" ”

"Let's see if I can give you this black guy and find a good sword!"

As soon as Shaohu heard this, all the doubts in his stomach were thrown out of the clouds, and his nostrils were wide open with excitement...... I don't bother to ask anymore.

……

At this moment.

Ge Suyi crouched on the horse's back, stepped on the stirrup, and left the reins with his hands, feeling the wind blowing on his cheeks in the night, and the pleasure swelled in bursts.

As one of the most powerful warriors on the grassland, the excitement brought by galloping horses and wielding swords and halberds has long been engraved in the blood!

A big battle is coming, and Gsu Yi is already extremely excited!

Just behind Gsuyi, 10,000 horsemen marched in the darkness like a moving black wall.

They don't ride fast - although Xiong Wuliang is very willing to burn money, there are always things that money can't solve. For example, the Xiao cavalry has always been relatively poor in terms of war horses, and it is not as good as the cavalry of the Qin army or the cavalry of the Zhao army, one person, two horses or even three horses, so it is necessary to try to retain the physical strength of the war horse before the battle.

The slender lance stands upright in the dark night, like a dense forest.

Half-body vest with cuirass and lance - this cavalry army has not yet experienced any real vicious combat experience, but its impact and lethality should not be underestimated.

10,000 cavalry marched all the way along the terrain of the plains, and the arrows of the attack pointed directly at [Ganyukou]!

In the distance, the dark [Inner Mountain] was getting closer and closer, and the beacon tower on the mountain still maintained a harmonious silence.

Ge Suyi breathed a sigh of relief lightly, and the urn ordered: "Speed up, stay secretβ€”pass through the Inner Mountain as soon as possible!" ”

The 10,000 cavalry did not speak, but silently sorted out the armor pieces on their bodies, carefully reducing any risk that could lead to exposure......

At most, there is one hour left, and you can kill to the mouth of the sweet fish!

……

The main battalion of the Qin, Wei and Han coalition forces.

Hurried footsteps were heard outside the tent...... Sima Cuo had already slept very deeply, but he opened his eyes with a sigh of relief, turned over and sat up vigilantly, and asked in a low voice: "Who?" ”

A white voice came from outside: "Lieutenant, someone from Xianyang is here, and I want to see him urgently." ”

Sima Cuo was greatly surprised.

Since he led the troops to the expedition, the country has retained full trust in Sima Cuo, and basically has not intervened in any affairs on the front line.

Empress Dowager Mi and Prime Minister Wei Ran worked together to do a good job of logistics for Sima Cuo - not only did they not point fingers at the front line, but even unless Sima Cuo took the initiative to report, Xianyang rarely even sent envoys to understand the current war situation.

What's going on today?

Not only did they send envoys all the way over, but they even had to ask for a meeting overnight?

Sima Cuo's heart suddenly tightened - could it be that there is a change in the country?!

Thinking of this, Sima Cuo couldn't sit still...... Immediately jumped off the bed, put on a piece of clothing, and hurried out.

As he walked, he ordered: "Gather generals!" Fast! ”

Walking out in three steps, Sima Cuo seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly changed the order: "Don't beat the drum, don't wake up Gongsun Xi and the storm mandarin...... Just gather all the generals of my Qin State! ”

A moment later, all the Qin troops arrived.

Everyone didn't know what was happening, and the generals' puzzled eyes swirled over the messenger.

Sima Cuo showed full respect, first leading the envoy to the main position, and then leading the generals to surrender their hands together: "Sima Cuo (Bai Qi and others) respectfully ask the Xianyang envoy to show it!" ”

The envoy looked dull, with big dark circles under his eyes, obviously coming for a few days and nights, and in the face of the humility of the generals, he was not polite, and said concisely: "On the order of Prime Minister Wei Ran - after capturing Chu Quyang Hou Miliang, there is no need to escort Xianyang, just behead him on the spot!" ”

Everyone present was a little confused.

Yes?

That's it? The last sentence of the letter will make it clear, is it necessary to send a messenger solemnly?

How many people's dreams have been disturbed by gathering overnight?

Not really, right?

Sima Cuo was also a little dissatisfied, frowned, and asked confirmatively: "Didn't you say before that after capturing Xiong Wuliang, you will be escorted to Xianyang, and then you will be punished?" ”

The envoy said resolutely: "Captain Hui - the order has changed!" ”

Sima didn't understand, but nodded anyway.

On the contrary, it was the messenger who secretly smacked his tongue in his heartβ€”

Just a few days ago, the Queen Mother, Wei Ran and a group of cronies and ministers persuaded Princess Yingzhuo to remarry in the Political Affairs Palace...... As a result, the princess was also a fierce character, and she openly kidnapped Prime Minister Wei Ran to protect Xiong Wuliang's life.

Although this matter was strictly ordered by the Empress Dowager Mi to be kept secret, it still went away.

Prime Minister Wei Ran regarded this matter as a great shame -
