The two sides fought until dawn, Xiang Ye and Xiang Qingcai led the Chu army to repel this Qin army, Sima Qu saw that there was no hope of breaking through the defense line of the Chu army, so he had to withdraw to Puyang with his own troops and horses.

After repelling the Qin army, Xiang Ye met with General Pu, and it was then that he learned that General Pu was not surnamed Pu, but Chen Mingwu.

This is really not mentioned in history textbooks, Xiang Ye really has the urge to travel back two thousand years and tell all this to his classmates and teachers. But he didn't know what to do to go back 2,000 years.

After defeating the Qin army, he did not immediately return to the outside of Yongqiu City. He knew that there must be a fierce battle going on there, and it was irrational to return to Yongqiu at this time, and if Xiang Yu handed over the responsibility of commanding the siege to him, he would inevitably suffer a crushing defeat like Ji Bu and Yingbu.

War is an extremely barbaric way of dealing with disputes invented by human beings. When Xiang Ye first came to this world, he still felt some fear and sorrow in the face of death.

After a long time, he gradually felt numb to death. Man, like any other living being, is bound to have strife as long as he lives.

Seeing death is already commonplace for Xiang Ye, and he has become numb to death. The only thing he didn't want and didn't want to see was that the people around him left him forever, and he hoped that Yu Fanjun would be the first and last person to die who had ever truly cared for him.

On a dirt slope ten miles away from Yongqiu, Xiang Ye put his hands behind his back and looked at Yongqiu City in the distance.

The dark silhouette of Yongqiu City loomed in the sunlight, Xiang Ye looked up at the sky, sighed abruptly, and said, "It's going to rain!" ”

Xiang Qing, who was standing beside him, also looked up to the sky with his gaze, and the fireball-like sun hung high in the air, projecting a golden glow to the entire world.

She turned her head to look at Xiang Ye and asked puzzledly, "When the scorching sun is in the sky, how do you know that it is about to rain?" ”

Xiang Ye smiled bitterly and said leisurely: "The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, the wind is flourishing here, and it will rain hard, it seems that my fire attack plan is going to be in the soup." ”

"It won't rain, and I'm sure your plan will be executed smoothly." Xiang Qing shook her head and smiled sweetly at Xiang Ye, she didn't know when it started, and there was an incomparable trust in Xiang Ye from the bottom of her heart.

Xiang Ye didn't speak, just put his hands behind his back, avoiding the sunlight and looking up at the blue sky. In the sky, a white cloud leisurely floated over his and Xiang Qing's heads, and gusts of mountain wind swept past him and Xiang Qing, provoking their clothes and ruffling the ends of their hair.

In Yongqiu, the tragic battle was still going on, and the Chu army was still at a complete disadvantage, and it was always pressed and beaten by the Qin army in the attack.

"My lord! Oh no! On the Yongqiu city wall, the general of the Qin army in charge of the command ran to Li You's side, half-knelt on the ground and said in a panic: "Our army's arrows have run out, the boulders are almost finished, and all the oil that can be collected in the city has been collected." Judging from the current rate of attrition, in less than three hours, our army will not be able to effectively kill the robbers, and can only engage in hand-to-hand combat with them in the city! ”

Li You frowned, and said to the partial general: "Don't panic, our army is above, the enemy army is below, we still have the advantage, strictly order all departments, we must defend to the death, don't give robbers a chance to enter the city!" ”

"Yes!" The partial general responded, got up and shouted to the Qin army in the city: "The county guard has an order, and all departments must defend it strictly, and you must not give the robbers a chance to enter the city!" ”

The crossbowmen of the Qin army did not shoot their arrows as casually as they had in the previous two days, and each of them shot their arrows only after aiming at the Chu army, causing the Chu army under the city to suffer even heavier losses.

Many of the Chu troops were shot by arrows flying from above the city as they charged, and fell to the ground with their heads turned over, becoming part of the thick pile of corpses outside the city.

After three days of attack, under the city of Yongqiu, the corpses were piled up, and it would be very difficult for the Chu army to take every step forward, they had to step over the corpses of their comrades in order to rush to the foot of the city wall, and at the foot of the city wall, when they set up the siege ladder, they had to drag the corpses at the foot of the ladder away, and these redundant actions caused them to suffer greater losses.

Yu Ziqi, who was in charge of directing the siege on the third day, closed his eyes and tried not to look at the brutal battle under the city, which was a completely one-sided massacre.

He let out a long sigh, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, sighed, and said to the generals beside him, "How many people have we lost?" ”

"Report to the general, since the siege of the city in the early morning to this moment, our army has lost nearly two thousand people, and countless wounded!" The general bowed his head and said tremblingly.

"Alas, it's much easier to beat a piece of thousand-year-old black iron into a vast divine soldier than to break through Yongqiu!" Yu Ziqi sighed, shook off the reins, and turned to walk towards the rear of the headquarters.

The general stood in front of the formation, looking at Yongqiu City, which was engaged in a fierce battle.

At the foot of the city wall, rows of Chu troops were knocked to the ground by crossbows and bows shot by the Qin army in the city; A large stone smashed the Chu army that was climbing towards the city to the foot of the city, and at the city gate, a pot of boiling oil poured down on the Chu army holding a log and rushing to the city gate.

Under the city, the earth-shattering shouts of the besieging Chu army were mixed with the screams of some wounded and the shouts of the officers urging the soldiers to enter the city.

A group of Chu troops climbed the city wall, but they were soon driven down by the Qin army in the city.

A Chu army had just climbed the battlements, and before he could gain a foothold, a figure pounced on him.

Rushing over was a Qin soldier whose arm had been cut off by Qi Gen, and the wound was still bubbling with blood, this Qin soldier's face was pale, in addition to the broken arm, there were several wounds on his body, and blood was pouring out from the wounds on his body.

He rushed to the Chu soldiers who had just ascended to the top of the city, tightly wrapped his remaining arm around the Chu soldiers, and threw himself down the city wall.

The Chu soldiers let out a terrible scream, and together with the Qin soldiers, they were planted in the pile of corpses under the city, and fell into two puddles of flesh.

The Qin army set up a spear array on the side of the city wall, and as soon as the Chu army boarded the battlements, more than a dozen spears would be pierced in front of it, and under this dense defense, the Chu army that climbed the city wall was pierced and fell.

By dusk, Yongqiu's Qin army had thrown the last boulder, shot the last arrow, and poured the last pot of boiling oil, and they no longer had weapons that could inflict extensive damage on the Chu army under the city.

The sky gradually darkened, and the sunset at dusk was obscured by a dark cloud, and the blood-like remnants of the sun gradually lost their brilliance under the dark clouds, and the earth was reflected in the light cast by the remnant sun as dark yellow as the face of a sick man.

A lightning bolt pierced the sky, and then a roaring thunder came from mid-air, Xiang Ye, who was riding a war horse and leading three thousand cavalry to Yongqiu slowly, looked up at the sky, and said with a slight smile to Xiang Qing, who was riding beside him: "It's really going to rain." ”

Xiang Qing looked up at the sky, her face as smooth as jade was also reflected in the dim yellow light, she frowned, and said to Xiang Ye a little anxiously: "It's a shame that you still laugh, once it rains, your plan to burn Yongqiu will be ruined." ”

Xiang Ye shook his head and said to Xiang Qing: "Burning Yongqiu is actually not what I want to happen the most, this rain is really timely, it makes me understand that it is immoral and not allowed by the sky to burn a city guarded by warriors with fire." ”

"What are you going to do?" Xiang Ye's words failed to convince Xiang Qing, she always felt that burning Yongqiu City with fire was the most ideal way.

Xiang Ye sighed, sighed and said, "The most convincing way to fight against the warriors is to conquer them with the same brave heart!" In that way, you can be recognized by the whole world and conquer the world! ”

"You think a lot like my big brother!" Xiang Qing pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "My eldest brother is born with divine power, and he is like entering a no-man's land when he enters the army of ten thousand. However, you can only rely on foot to fight to maximize your lethality, and if you rush into the enemy's formation, you will be easily surrounded without a mount, and finally die of exhaustion! ”

Xiang Ye agreed with Xiang Qing's words, and he sighed helplessly and said: "Mr. Gai Nie only taught me this set of foot combat swordsmanship, but did not teach me how to fight horses, which is indeed something I have been struggling with." ”

When Xiang Ye sighed that he couldn't fight, Xiang Qingqing smiled sweetly and said: "General Long Ji is my eldest brother's righteous brother, and his martial arts are taught by my eldest brother, why don't you ask your eldest brother to teach you his 'one-handed eighteen picks'?" In that way, you can calmly deal with foot and horse battles, and you will not be afraid of anyone in future battles. ”

Xiang Qing's words made Xiang Ye's eyes light up, but in an instant, the light of anticipation in his eyes dimmed again, and he said with some amazement: "General Long He is General Xiang Yu's righteous brother, but I am nothing, how can I ask him to teach me martial arts?" ”

"Who says you're nothing?" Xiang Qing pursed his lips a little unhappily, and refuted Xiang Ye: "You are his brother-in-law, and the husband of her most beloved sister, if he dares not to teach you, I will ask my father to teach him a lesson." ”

Xiang Qing's face was filled with infinite pride when she mentioned her father Xiang Liang. But when Xiang Ye looked at the pride on her face, he unconsciously felt a throbbing pain in his heart.

Xiang Qing didn't know that her father would defeat Dingtao and leave her forever shortly after the destruction of Yongqiu City. Looking at the happiness on her face, Xiang Ye couldn't help but feel a little jealous of those who didn't know what would happen in the future.

I don't know the future, but there will be expectations in people's hearts. But Xiang Ye, who already knows the future well, can hardly do anything except struggle in the established historical events.

He didn't want many people to die, including Yu Fanjun, including Li You, of course, because of Aiwu and Wu, but also Xiang Liang, but in these established historical events, he felt that his strength was too thin to resist the advance of the wheel of history.
