Li You's words caused a commotion among the Qin army, and the Qin army, who had not gathered, also learned what he said from the mouths of his companions, and suddenly there was chaos on the city wall, and there was a lot of noise from people everywhere.

"My lord, are we really running out of ways to live?" An old soldier standing at the front supported his body with a spear, one of his legs had been cut off by the Chu army in the battle, and the only remaining leg supported his body with the help of the spear, and he asked Li You with a slight trembling body.

Li You shook his head and said to the veteran: "Brother, you are good, in the battle, each of you was very brave, and you did not disgrace our soldiers of Daqin. I don't want to deceive you, if you want to surrender to the robbers, I can open the gates now, and maybe they will spare your lives. If you will not surrender, then defend the city with me until you die in battle!" ”

His words were extremely poignant, and some Qin Jun, who was emotionally fragile, couldn't hold back their sadness and cried out after hearing his words.

Li You didn't scold those Qin soldiers who wept bitterly, maybe one day, these people would die here, and he had no right to stop a group of people who were about to die from crying for their fate of dying.

He stood silently, closed his eyes slightly, the loss of the Qin army was the last thing he wanted to see, but he had to face such a scene, there was a voice in his heart that kept echoing, at this time, lying to these brave warriors, deceiving them that there would be reinforcements, it was not to boost morale, but to commit a crime, a crime against a group of warriors who would surely die.

After a long time, Qin Jun gradually stopped crying, and a young soldier suddenly stood up, raised the spear in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, since we have no way back, surrender is death, and death in battle is death, it is better to fight with the bandits under the city, fight one is enough, fight two to earn one!" ”

The soldier's shout was like a stone thrown into the lake, which suddenly caused a ripple in the Qin army. Many Qin soldiers also stood up and shouted with this soldier: "Xiang Yu fights, never leaves prisoners, we surrender to them, it is undoubtedly our own death, it is better to listen to this little brother, everyone fights with them!" ”

"Fight! Fight! Almost all of the Qin troops stood up, their weapons raised high, and they shouted loudly as they endured their exhaustion and pain.

Li You's eyes moistened, he felt uncomfortable in his throat as if he was stuffed with a ball of linen, he choked and pressed his hand twice on Qin Junxu, and said: "Soldiers, I thank you for your bravery, if the soldiers of Great Qin are like you, my Great Qin will last forever for a thousand years!" ”

His words did not resonate among the Qin army, and after a long time, a soldier stood in the crowd and shouted, "My lord, we are not fighting for Great Qin. Great Qin is no longer the Great Qin of the past, and it is not worth dying for it! We are fighting for our loved ones back home, and for the last dignity before we die. ”

Li You nodded, without refuting the soldier's claim, he took the spear from the hand of a soldier standing in front of him, raised it high, and shouted to all the Qin troops: "For the relatives of the hometown, for the last dignity, fight!" ”

"Fight! Fight! Fight! All the Qin troops followed Li Yougao with their weapons raised and shouted, and their shouts reached the camp where the Chu army was stationed through the heavy rain curtain.

"Trapped Beast Fight!" Xiang Yu stood in the big tent, with his hands behind his back, listening to the shouts from Yongqiu City, and said with disdain at the corners of his mouth.

Yu Ji held one of Xiang Yu's arms with both hands, and rested her head on his arm. She didn't speak, from Xiang Yu's expression, she could see that Xiang Yu had an inexplicable respect for the Qin army defending the city in Yongqiu, but the proud Xiang Yu didn't want to admit it.

Xiang Ye, who returned to the camp, sat face to face with Meng Su. They had been sitting for a long time, and the two of them had not spoken, just looked at each other silently.

"You went to war with Xiang Qing, why didn't you take me with you?" After a long time, Meng Su pursed his lips and said as if he had plucked up a lot of courage: "Do you know that I have been worried about you all day? ”

Xiang Ye didn't speak, he lowered his head, and didn't even dare to look at Meng Su's eyes.

He is a person who is very afraid of trouble, especially afraid of being entangled in many complicated things, and cannot choose how to face them.

The relationship with a woman is an extremely troublesome thing in Xiang Ye's opinion, if there is only one woman, he thinks he can handle it, but there are two women around him at one time who have a good impression of him and have made a lifelong agreement with him.

The two women were jealous and secretly fighting in order to compete for him, and even showed their displeasure about him having another woman, intentionally or unintentionally, which made Xiang Ye feel like a fight. Originally, the relationship between him and Meng Su developed very well, but inexplicably he was taken by Xiang Qing again, and the originally simple love life suddenly became complicated. Not only were Meng Su and Xiang Qing tortured, but even he felt that dealing with two women at the same time was a bit big.

"Why don't you speak?" Xiang Ye was silent, but Meng Su didn't intend to let him go, she forced her eyes to look at Xiang Ye, and her tone became a little solemn: "You go out with her, do you know that I will be sad?" When you fought desperately against the enemy, the woman who was by your side was not me. ”

Xiang Ye pursed his lips, bowed his head and didn't dare to respond to Meng Su's questioning, before Meng Su and Xiang Qing, he had never had this kind of relationship with any woman, and he didn't know how to deal with this kind of emotional entanglement.

"You promised me that as long as you go to the battlefield in the future, you must take me with you!" When Xiang Ye didn't know what to say to Meng Su, Meng Su moved two steps closer to him, looked at him without blinking, and said, "No matter what you are doing, please remember that I will be your wife in the future." ”

Xiang Ye nodded mechanically, and was silent for a while before saying to Meng Su: "It's not early, you should go back and rest!" ”

After Meng Su left, Xiang Ye lay on the straw mat and gradually fell asleep after a long time.

When the first rays of morning light smeared a fish's belly white in the eastern sky, the rallying horn sounded in the barracks.

With the help of his own soldiers, Xiang Ye put on his armor, and when he came to the place where the army was assembled, he found that Xiang Yu had divided the original five troops into six, and in front of the newly separated troops, Xiang Qing, Meng Su, Wei Feng, Bai Fu and others were all riding on horseback, standing at the front of the queue and looking at Xiang Ye who had just arrived.

Xiang Yu, who was standing in the position of the main general, made a gesture to Xiang Ye and asked him to stand at the front of the newly divided team.

After Xiang Ye stood up, Xiang Yu straightened up and shouted to the whole army: "We have been fighting in Yongqiu City for three days, and in these three days, we have lost many soldiers, but we have never captured Yongqiu!" Partial general Xiang Ye, because he made a meritorious contribution to the burning of the Yongqiu city wall a few days ago, he was specially appointed as an acting general and exercised the position of a general, and the task of attacking Yongqiu today will be handed over to them! Do the armies have any objections? ”

After the Chu army heard that Feng Xiang Ye was the acting general, they exchanged heads and ears, and Yingbu, who was in charge of the command of the attack on Yongqiu the next day, frowned even more, looking a little disapproving.

Zhong Liwu and Yu Ziqi had no expression on their faces, and they didn't see any joy or dissatisfaction. Long Ji grinned and kept slapping below, he had seen Xiang Ye resist the Qin army dozens of times their size with a small number of troops outside Puyang City, and he recognized Xiang Ye's ability.

Ji Bu had a snow-white linen cloth tied around his shoulders, and there was some shame on his face, and he had always blamed himself for Yongqiu's long-term inability to attack, thinking that if he could break through the city defense on the first day, he would not have killed so many brothers.

Xiang Ye quietly listened to every word Xiang Yu said, and there was no expression of joy on his face. He turned against Liu Bang and defected to Xiang Yu, and now he was named the acting general by Xiang Yu.

In this way, he was completely tied to the same vine as Xiang Yu, and he also chose a force that was doomed to fail in the future historical process without reason. He didn't think that there would be any benefit in being a general under this force, and a few years later, when Liu Bang rose, he and everyone here would have to accept the shame of defeat, and he was even more likely to turn back because he had a personal vendetta with Liu Bang.

After Xiang Yu announced the appointment of Xiang Ye as the acting general, he waited for a while, and seeing that no one objected, he waved his hand and said to the whole army: "Follow me to attack the city!" ”

After the Chu army was in good formation in Yongqiu City, Xiang Ye received Xiang Yu's order to attack the city, and did not immediately order the army to attack the city wall, but rode his horse and ran towards the Yongqiu city wall alone.

"What does he want to do?" When Xiang Ye rode his horse towards the city wall, many people in the Chu army were talking about his strange behavior.

"Xiang Ye, the general of the Great Chu Dynasty, asks the Great Qin Sanchuan County Guard Li to come out and speak!" When he arrived at the city, Xiang Ye pulled the reins and stopped the horse from shouting to the city.

After his shout fell, a Qin army general in the city poked his head out and shouted at him: "Our Lord Li said that he did know a warrior named Xiang Ye before, but he didn't know a thief named Xiang Ye, please go back!" If you slow down, beware of our army shooting you into a dead hedgehog! ”

Xiang Ye smiled bitterly and said to the general of the Qin army in the city: "Please tell Lord Li that this afternoon, I will break through Yongqiu City, and I will still accept your surrender at that time!" ”

With that, he turned around and rode his horse back to the Chu army's battle formation.

After returning to the array, Xiang Ye raised one hand high and shouted to the Chu army behind him, "Start attacking the city!" ”

Xiang Ye's layout was completely different from the previous attacks, he asked the soldiers to tie the two siege ladders tightly together with hemp rope at one end to form a triangular ladder.
