Looking at Ying Chengcheng's ugly face, Bafu's heart lifted, and he asked tentatively: "The head of the family, are you okay?" ”

Ying Chengcheng hissed in a low voice: "Xinzheng is besieged by the Chu army!" ”

The eight husbands were stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously said: "Family master, then let's withdraw the army and return to help!" ”

Ying Cheng said without hesitation: "Ling! The whole army will be drawn out of camp and ...... immediately"

Ying Cheng Chan doesn't want to calm down!

Go to the special strategy! Go for special tactical purposes! Go and take the territory!

Dominating the world, where can it compare to the life of the eldest brother!

Ying Chengcheng now just wants to bring all the soldiers and horses he can bring and gallop to the aid of Xinzheng City in the starry night!

But halfway through the words, Ying Chengcheng was silent.

On the bamboo slips, Ying Cheng seemed to be able to feel the temperature of Ying Zheng's hands.

The earnest and firm handwriting of those lines reveals Yingzheng's strong expectations.

Ying Zheng trusted Ying Chengcheng's ability and entrusted all the command power of the front line to Ying Chengcheng.

So now instead of thinking calmly, but relying on inner emotions to help Xinzheng, is Ying Chengcheng worthy of Ying Zheng's trust!

Come to think of it, Ying Zheng wouldn't want his younger brother to be a person who can't be calm in the face of big things, right?

Holding the bamboo slip tightly with his right hand, Ying Chengcheng continued to speak in a hoarse voice: "Order the whole army to keep the offensive unchanged." ”

"The news of the siege of Xinzheng City is strictly confidential."

"If there is a leaker, the three tribes of Yi!"

Meng Tian was stunned.

According to Ying Chengchan's past performance, Meng Tian also thinks that Ying Chengchan will definitely want to return to help as soon as possible.

But now, Ying Chengcheng is unwilling to come back?

For a moment, Meng Tian had to wonder if Wei Yi had guessed correctly.

Ying Chengchan's usual performance is disguised, but now in the face of the opportunity to seize the throne without blood, Ying Cheng Chan finally had a showdown, stopped pretending, and sat back and watched Ying Zheng be killed and seize the throne!

Meng Tian solemnly bowed his hand: "Of course, there are some soldiers and horses in Xinzheng City, but I don't know if this will be all the soldiers and horses of the Chu army." ”

"If the Chu army suddenly sends a large army to Xinzheng, the king is in danger!"

"Even if the Chu army does not increase its troops and resists the 30,000 Chu army with the strength of Xinzheng City, the king is in danger!"

"The minister dares to ask Chang Anjun to immediately lead the army back to aid Xinzheng City!"

Before making a decision, Ying Chengcheng's heart will be shaken, entangled, and hesitant.

But when the decision was made, Ying Chengcheng's voice was full of firmness and determination: "It is precisely because the Chu army that attacked Xinzheng City is not all the Chu army, that this general cannot return to help." ”

"Once Ben will come back to help, the main force of the Chu army will lose its involvement, and the army will definitely suppress my Qin realm!"

"The general's reinforcements are only able to bring 70,000 reinforcements, and even if they bring Wang Ben's troops back together, they are only 170,000 reinforcements."

"But it will bring more than 200,000, or even more than 300,000 enemy troops!"

"At that time, the king's situation was even more dangerous."

"For today's plan, there is no way to live, only the attacker can play a smooth road!"

Meng Tian asked solemnly: "Since Chang'anjun also knows that the enemy is outnumbered in this battle, how can Chang'anjun fight a smooth road?" ”

Ying Chengyun said firmly: "Just because Brother Wang believes in this general, it is far better than Chu Wang Xin Xiang Yan." ”

"It's just because I, the Great Qin Ruishi, are working hard together, and the Chu army is fighting endlessly!"

On a large-scale battlefield, pulling is an extremely important link, and it can even make up for the superiority and disadvantage of troops to a certain extent.

If Ying Chengchan would immediately return to help because Xinzheng was trapped, Xiang Yan would have finished pulling Ying Chengchan.

Ying Cheng didn't believe that Xiang Yan was not ready for a series of subsequent ambushes.

But if Xiang Yan was trapped in Shouchun City, he would immediately return to help, and Ying Chengcheng would have completed the pull of Xiang Yan.

At this moment of war, the competition is not only the ability of the generals of the two sides, but also the test of the kings of both sides!

And for Ying Zheng's heart and ability, Ying Chengcheng has absolute trust!

Meng Tian was powerless to persuade again, so he could only sigh softly and arch his hand: "The minister only wishes that Chang'an Junqi will be victorious." ”

Ying Cheng returned the salute: "Thank you." ”

"Come on, take Meng Shilang down to rest!"

Before the words fell, Ying Chengcheng had already turned over and rode around Shouchun City.

Shouchun City as a whole is approximately rectangular, about 6,500 meters long from north to south, about 4,300 meters wide from east to west, the total area can be ranked in the top three today, it is a quite wide capital, there is a moat connecting the water outside the city, the waterways in the city are staggered, it is the shipbuilding center and commercial center of the Chu State in recent decades.

However, Shouchun City has only been the capital of Chu for four years, and during these four years, King Chu Kaolie and King Han of Chu are still in the process of power transfer, and there is no time and energy within Chu to further repair Shouchun City, so that the overall city defense structure of Shouchun City still maintains the regulation of Chun Shenjun living at this time.

The only thing that is commendable is that there is a small city with a circumference of 1,200 meters six miles southwest of Shouchun City.

The castle was originally the residence of Chun Shen Jun, but now it has been renovated into a small fortress that can be used to watch and help Shouchun Castle in times of war.

However, the walls of Shouchun Castle are about five zhang (11.55 meters) high, the base of the wall is about ten zhang (23.1 meters) wide, and the top of the wall is about three and a half zhang (8 meters) wide. The thickness of the city wall is only one-third of the Liang City, half of the Xinzheng City, the height is similar to that of Xinzheng City, and the city gate only has four road gates and a water gate, which is not flexible.

When riding a horse around to the east of Shouchun City, Ying Chengcheng suddenly stopped: "There are also heavy troops guarding the East City?" ”

When he first arrived in Shouchun City, Ying Chengcheng adopted the tactics of encircling three queyi, and only amassed 10,000 troops in the west, south, and north directions to attack the city.

Although the soldiers and horses of the Chu army in the west, south, and north directions are not small, they can definitely not be said to be abundant.

In this case, the defending generals chose to garrison troops in the eastern city that were not much less than the other city walls.

What does this defender think?

Ying Chengcheng immediately ordered: "Order Wang Pan to lead all the catapults under his command to Dongcheng." ”

"The herald ordered Ben to transfer his own soldiers into Dongcheng to protect Wang Pan's department."

"Order Commander Jiang Ming, Commander Xiao Tu, and Commander Meng Nan to send the regular army to attack!"

Two quarters of an hour later, one hundred and twenty catapults moved into the east gate.

Ying Cheng shouted in a deep voice: "Every ten catapults are aimed at the same city wall. ”

"Volley!"

Wang Pan hurriedly shouted: "Adjust your position!" ”

"Volley!"

At the sound of an order, one hundred and twenty heavy boulders were thrown out by catapults and smashed down against the eastern wall of Shouchun City!

"Boom !!"

A roar rang out.

One hundred and twenty boulders weighing tens of pounds were thrown down at the same time, and the entire Dongcheng city wall trembled.

It's just that after five rounds of flying stones, a crack has appeared on the top of the east city wall!

The herald galloped like crazy, all the way to Li Yuan: "Qi Ling Yin!" ”

"All the catapults of the Qin army have turned into my eastern city, and the walls of the eastern city have seen cracks!"

Li Yuan asked in disbelief: "Have you seen a crack?!" ”

"Qin Jun Feishi is so powerful?!"

Li Yuan originally thought that Xiuyu City and Daliang City would be able to withstand the heavy damage of the Qin army's flying stones for several months, and Shouchun City would not have any problems thinking about it.

But reality gave Li Yuan a resounding slap in the face.

Xiuyu City has Pang Xuan's temporary thickened ice wall, Daliang City has the tireless thickening of the Wei kings of the past dynasties, what does Shouchun City have?

How could it withstand the wild bombardment of the Qin Army's flying stones!

The herald asked in a loud voice: "Ling Yin, is our army going out of the city to destroy the Qin army's catapult?" ”

Li Yuan knew very well that the herald's suggestion was the right choice to deal with the current battle situation.

But one problem that Li Yuan had to face was that the main defending force in the city was Jing's private soldiers.

In the city, Li Yuan can also mobilize them in the name of Ling Yin.

But once they left the city, it was entirely possible for the middle and high-level generals in Jing's private army to tamper with Li Yuan's orders and run away directly with the private soldiers.

Unless the regular army, county soldiers and guards are ordered to go out of the city to fight, it is likely to be meat buns and dogs, and there is no return!

After struggling for a long time, Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Summons the conscripts in the city, immediately dig earth in the city to the east city, and thicken and repair the city wall of the east city!" ”

Outside the East Side.

Looking at the Chu army that was carefully shrunk under the female wall and the city gate that was still closed, Ying Chengcheng smacked his tongue a little: "Our army's catapults are all outside the eastern city, and they are only supported by 20,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"As long as the elite soldiers are ordered out of the city, it is possible to break through our army's defense line, destroy our army's catapults, and save Shouchun City from the threat of flying stones."

"Aren't you impressed by this?"

"Or is the guard unable to move?"

Ying Chengcheng felt that the situation was getting more and more strange, and immediately ordered again: "Order Jiang Ming's subordinates to give up the attack on Nancheng, join forces with Xiao Tu's troops, and attack Xicheng together!" ”

"Order the scouts to pay close attention to the movements of the Chu army at the head of the city, and once they find out that the Chu army is moving, inform the general immediately!"

Two quarters of an hour later, the scout hurriedly returned to the Chinese army: "General Qiyu, Nancheng has transferred 4,000 troops to reinforce Xicheng." ”

Ying Chengcheng immediately asked: "After transferring 4,000 soldiers and horses, how many soldiers and horses are left in the south city wall?" ”

The scout did not hesitate and said: "More than three thousand, I don't know the specifics." ”

The scout's vision is also limited, and he can only give an estimate based on the battle situation he sees with his naked eyes, and the enemy's hidden caves, city gate towers, and soldiers and horses under the city are impossible to observe.

But the scout's answer was enough for Ying Chengcheng to make a further judgment.

Ying Chengyun said thoughtfully: "The three thousand soldiers and horses left behind should be Jing's private soldiers, right?" ”

The scout looked up unexpectedly: "General Hui, the banner of the Jing clan is indeed the Jing's soldiers and horses." ”

Ying Cheng bowed slightly: "It seems that Changping Jun has not deceived the general in such a major matter. ”

According to several troop transfers, Ying Chengcheng has already made a basic judgment.

As long as the defender of this city is not a novice who has not even read the military book, or a veteran who is very good at attacking, otherwise there are likely to still be serious problems within the Chu army, so that the defender will have to sit back and watch the opportunity to slip away.

Ying Chengcheng didn't know what method Chu Wang Han used to collect Jing's soldiers and horses.

But Chu Wanghan still failed to erase the gap between the various departments of the Chu army.

This gap may be the key to Ying Chengcheng's rapid attack on Shouchun City!

After muttering for a long time, Ying Cheng said in a deep voice: "Order! ”

"If there is no order from the general, Wang Pan's department will not stop flying stones!"

"Jiang Ming, Meng Nan, and Xiao Tu stepped forward, not seeking to capture the city, but to kill and injure Jing's private soldiers!"

"Order! Lieutenant Li Xin immediately returned to our department. ”

"Du Wei Cen Bian led the sailors to obey the dispatch of General Wang Ben."

"General Wang Ben will immediately transfer to Xiang City, and he must try his best to intercept the Chu General Xiang Yan's department!"

"Summons the candidate Zhuang Jia!"

The heralds retreated, and Ying Cheng held a knife and carved words on a bamboo slip.

When Zhuang Jia arrived, Ying Cheng blew off the bamboo crumbs, closed the bamboo slips and handed them to the soldiers to cover the mud, and asked in a solemn voice: "This gentleman needs you to blend into Shouchun City." ”

"Can it be done?"

Zhuang Jia frowned: "Now that our army has attacked Shouchun City, it is extremely difficult to infiltrate Shouchun City. ”

"If there is no internal response, more than 500 Chu army prisoners are needed."

Ying Chengcheng said without hesitation: "Ben will give you a thousand captives, and it is up to you to decide what to do with it." ”

"If you have any other needs, please feel free to let us know."

took the bamboo slip stamped with mud and handed it to Zhuang Jia, Ying Cheng said solemnly: "At all costs, you must hand over this letter to Changping Jun!" ”

Zhuang Jia threw up his hand: "Only! ”
