The beacon fire was lit in the head of Wanxian County, and thick black smoke rose into the air, and nearly 20,000 people were forcibly conscripted into the army, all over the cities of Wanxian County.

Some of the people in charge of transportation shouted slogans and sent some wood and stones from their newly demolished houses to the city, ready to resist the Chu army.

Some crossbowmen also rushed to their posts at the first time, which was the rhythm of the Chu army's imminent siege.

Suddenly, a rapid gong sounded, and the soldiers of the Qin army began to run towards the city in a panic, and the people who were still transporting just now were also caught up in the city in an orderly manner, all over the corners, in front of them, there were scattered rolling wood and thunder stones, only with these things, can they shoot down the Chu army that wants to climb the city.

Chen Hui, the chief historian who was in charge of organizing the people, hurried to the city after hearing the sound of the gong, and Deng Qi, who had been watching the city for a long time, sighed lightly, he looked back at Chen Hui, and said a little helplessly: "The Chu army is here." ”

Chen Hui looked at the city, and couldn't help but gasp, nearly 100,000 Chu troops, lined up in a neat formation, were moving forward, in the Chinese army, a person wearing a red daze, majestic, this person should be Liu Bang.

Chen Hui looked at Chu Jun for a while, and couldn't help sighing: "It's really a strong army!" ”

Deng Qi was dissatisfied with Chen Hui's praise of Chu Jun, he glanced at Chen Hui, and snorted coldly: "Don't grow others' morale to destroy your own prestige!" Look how I defend the city! ”

Deng Qi waved his hand forward, and shouted: "Order crossbowmen and archers, prepare to defend against the enemy!" ”

。。。。。。

Under the city, the Chu army shouted slogans and gradually advanced forward, and when it was about three hundred steps away from the city, the Chu army stopped advancing, at this time, the Chinese army gave way to a road with a width of 100 people, and Liu Bang rode his horse to the front of the battle.

He looked at Wancheng, this is the seat of Nanyang County, with a large number of defenders, and it is also the last barrier for Liu Bang to enter Wuguan, as long as he captures this city, before arriving at Wuguan, no one will be able to stop him.

After observing a stick of incense, Liu Bang turned around and looked at everyone, and ordered: "Xiahou Ying, Fan Xu, Cao Shen, Li Shang, each of you has 10,000 soldiers and horses, give me the east, west and north gates, and leave the south gate for them to escape!" ”

The three of them sang a promise, each of them rushed to the main formation, at this time, the rumbling war drums sounded again, and the Chu army was divided into several teams, and under the leadership of their own generals, they rushed to the gates of Wancheng.

Half an hour later, the Chinese army fluttered a red order flag, this is the order to attack the city, several messengers rode their horses to the various formations, the first to attack, is Fan Hao and Li Shang's team, they mainly attack the north gate, at this time, the Chu army has carried the ladder, shouting to Wancheng City under the gallop.

The shield soldiers are in front, the archers are in the back, this is the consistent formation of the Chu army, when it is about fifty steps away from the city, the archers begin to draw their bows and arrows, and shoot towards the city tower, on the city tower, the defenders of the Qin army with their condescending advantage, shoot arrows at the Chu army, the two sides have each other's casualties, but the Chu army's casualties are greater than the Qin army.

Soon, the Chu army that rushed then carried the ladder and ran to the city tower, shouting slogans, more than 100 people pulled the rope, put the ladder on the city, and hooked the wall battlement, at this time, the Chu army began to climb the ladder and pounced on the city tower.

On the city tower, the rapid sound of the gong sounded, the people were forced to withstand the rain of arrows, picked up the rolling wood and thunder stones, and threw them under the city, and there were constantly screams of the Chu soldiers, but soon, the first batch of Chu soldiers climbed to the side of the battlements, they waved their long swords, and slashed indiscriminately, and a man who had just thrown out the stone was hacked to death, but soon, the Qin army would be replenished, and the Chu army would stab the Chu army with a spear, and the Chu soldiers screamed and fell.

In this way, the fighting between the two sides was extremely tragic, and there were constantly Qin soldiers falling, and some people filled up, and the Chu soldiers were not only knocked down by the rolling wood and thunder stones, but also soldiers rushed to the city and died in the battle with the Qin soldiers.

Soon, a group of Qin soldiers who had just been transferred from the city joined the battle, and they were in a group of five to guard a wall battlement, and anyone who dared to show their heads in the Chu army would be stabbed with Changge, and then the screams of the Chu soldiers would be heard.

The rain of arrows under the city tower has no effect on the city, the attack of the Chu army is nearing the end, both sides are extremely tired, under the city tower, gradually sounded the sound of collecting the troops, the soldiers of the Chu army gave up the ladder and hurriedly fled to the main formation.

Downstairs in the city, in the pile of rocks, there were constantly painful moans of the wounded soldiers of the Chu army, but the soldiers of the Chu army could no longer care about the wounded soldiers, and after they retreated in a hurry, the cheers of the soldiers of the Qin army sounded on the city tower.

Under the sun, the soldiers of the Qin army came out in batches, stabbed the soldiers of the Chu army who were not dead under the city tower with halberds, and then lit a fire and burned them all.

。。。。。。

At night, the lights in the Chu army Dazhai were bright, except for the sentinels patrolling back and forth, the rest of the people had basically fallen asleep, but in the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Bang was anxious in front of the map, and the Chu army failed to shake Wancheng for a whole day.

How to break through Wancheng has become the primary problem in Liu Bang's heart, at this time, everyone is silent, I don't know how long it has passed, Zhang Liang reminded on the side: "Wanxian County has the White River through the city, why not General Liu attack with water?" ”

"Water attack?" Liu Bang was slightly surprised, Zhang Liang nodded, and continued: "You can block the estuary downstream, let the river overflow the river, and pour // into the city, the city is panicked, this city can be broken!" ”

Hearing Zhang Liang's strategy, Liu Bang couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "This plan is very good. ”

On the first watch, the gate of the Chu army slowly opened, and a team of 2,000 Chu cavalry hurriedly bypassed Wancheng and headed south.

Early in the morning, the Chu army began to move its garrison, and the army marched westward, thirty miles west of Wancheng, away from the Baihe.

At noon, when the sun was high in the sky, the river in Wancheng suddenly swelled and overflowed the river, rushing to the streets and residential areas, and soon the water overflowed the houses, and the people took refuge in the mountains to avoid the flood.

Not long after Wancheng was flooded, the Chu army slowly lined up in the west, the drums echoed over Wancheng again, and after the low horn sound, the Chu army once again launched an attack on Wancheng.

More than 100 ladders set up the head of the city, the soldiers of the Chu army shouted, to the head of the city to kill, on the city tower, the Qin army gathered all the superior forces in the west city, in order to resist the Chu army, and this sudden battle, the Qin army mostly used the people as human shields, so that they could resist at the front line, and then the soldiers of the Qin army, holding the Changge halberd, poked the Chu army on the city wall.

On the tower of the city, Deng Qi watched the city being flooded by the river, and he already knew in his heart that he ordered a partial general to rush downstream and open the river, but at this time, the Chu army suddenly killed, so that Deng Qi had no time to take care of the affairs of the city, and could only focus on resisting the fierce attack of the Chu army.

The shouts resounded throughout the city again, and many Chu troops had already entered the defense line of the Qin army, they brandished spears, and swords slashed indiscriminately on the city wall, and the screams were one after another, but soon, another wave of Qin troops came to support and started a fierce battle with the Chu army.

The smoke of gunpowder was filled, the fire engulfed the banner of the Qin army, and soon, Deng Qi personally led the army to kill, in the west city, and the Chu army launched a fierce fight, Chu will be filled with a spear, the first to kill Deng Qi, the two of you come and go, the fight is extremely tragic, but in the city, I don't know who shouted: "The flood has receded!" ”

There was a burst of cheers, the morale of the Qin army was high, the Chu army was suppressed by the Qin army, and Cao Wuxian, who had just rushed to the head of the city, was killed by the Qin army before he could gain a firm foothold.

Seeing that the Chu army was suppressed, the casualties were getting worse and worse, and it was inconvenient for him to entangle with the Qin army anymore, so he had to scream, fight his way out, and climb back from the ladder.

In this battle, the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, the 30,000 defenders were less than 20,000 at this time, and another 5,000 wounded soldiers had been transferred to the city to recuperate.

At this time, the gong sound of the Chu army to collect troops echoed under the city tower, and after Deng Qi ordered the Qin army to clean up the battlefield, he came to the city wall and looked down, only to see that the Chu army's troops retreated like waves, and the anxiety in his heart calmed down a lot.

Soon, Changshi Chen Hui walked over quickly, as if he saw the uneasiness in Deng Qi's heart, Chen Hui came closer, first sighed lightly, and then asked, "Do you have a plan to retreat from the enemy?" ”

"If there is a plan to retreat from the enemy, why should I bother to defend the city so hard?" Deng Qi was slightly displeased, he thought that Chen Hui was laughing at himself, but soon, Chen Hui sighed again: "My lord, although the Chu army has suffered heavy casualties, their strength is several times as many as ours. ”

Hearing Chen Hui mention Wuguan, Deng Qi was slightly surprised and said, "What is the strategy?" ”

"Give up Wancheng and go all out to protect it!"

"No! You must not give up Wancheng! Deng Qi didn't wait for Chen Hui to finish speaking, and then rejected Chen Hui, at this time Deng Qi stared into the distance again, this battle, he must persevere.

Chen Hui saw that he couldn't move Deng Qi, so he had to retreat and dissuade him: "Since the adults are unwilling to retreat to Wuguan, I think we might as well ask Deng County for help, if Deng County is willing to send troops to help, we still have a chance of winning." ”

Deng County is the north of Xiangyang later, which is the main road to the south, with nearly 20,000 defenders, but the guards of Deng County are at odds with Deng Qi, and the two have never interacted with each other, which is also one of the reasons why Deng Qi is unwilling to beg for help from Deng County.

At this time, Deng Qi rejected Chen Hui's admonition twice, Chen Hui knew that no matter what he said, he could no longer persuade Deng Qi, so he had to shake his head with a wry smile and arch his hand: "In this case, I will retire first." ”

Chen Hui left, Deng Qi put the sword in his hand into the scabbard, at this time the Qin soldiers on the city tower were extremely busy, a corpse of a Chu person was thrown down, and the corpses of the Qin soldiers were gathered together and prepared to be transported to the mountains for burial.

The end of a battle will indicate that a new battle is about to start, Deng Qi turned around to look at Chen Hui's departing figure, if he followed his persuasion and begged for aid from Deng County, perhaps, he could really attack the Chu army on both sides and kill Liu Bang by surprise, but Deng Qi couldn't let go of it after all, and took the initiative to beg Deng County to guard the future for help, and after thinking for nearly half an hour, Deng Qi finally gave up this idea.

Dragging the tired body, Deng Qi walked towards the city tower, several relatives wanted to step forward to support Deng Qi, but he refused, after walking a few steps, not far away there was a group of people crying, Deng Qi glanced at the place where the crowd gathered, and said hatefully: "Drive them all away to Lao Tzu!" ”

Singing Nuo left, Deng Qi stared into the distance, although this battle was extremely difficult for him, but Deng Qi believed that Liu Bang would not be much better than himself, if he could hold on any longer, the Chu army would definitely retreat, definitely!
