"Escape...... Is it? Xiang Yan muttered to herself.

The deputy general said: "Even if Xiangcheng is broken, there is still a lot of land in Chu State, and there are still many cities, we can still defend it!" ”

Xiang Yan came back to his senses and cheered up.

"Yes, yes, you can still keep it!" He also got on the pontoon bridge, "Go to Xiangcheng, if Xiangcheng is broken, follow me to get in and rescue the King of Chu!" ”

The state of Chu hasn't lost yet, it's not lost yet!

Xiang Yan also stepped up to the pontoon bridge, and the Chu army broke out to cross the Yingshui without hindrance.

The Qin army put away its bows and crossbows and quietly waited for all the defeated troops of the Chu State to cross the pontoon bridge before stepping on the pontoon bridge.

And the Chu soldiers who were scattered actually forgot to destroy the pontoon bridge behind them.

They were all running for their lives, they could only see what was in front of them, and they didn't dare to look back at the black and oppressive Qin army.

……

When Xiang Yan and Li Mu fought a decisive battle, Xiang Cheng didn't think about breaking through.

Li Mu brought 100,000 elite soldiers to come, and there were 200,000 logistics people. When he left Xiangcheng, the people disguised themselves as elite Qin soldiers and patrolled the gates of Xiangcheng.

Because the Qin army has been besieging but not attacking, Xiang Cheng was beaten back several times tentatively, and he couldn't contact the outside world, so he didn't know that Xiang Yan had come. So they only thought that today was an ordinary day of siege, and they didn't know that Li Mu had already led the elite soldiers to leave.

It wasn't until the rout of the Chu army arrived that Chu Wang Qi, who would personally come to the city wall every day to observe, realized that something was wrong.

Where did the Chu soldiers come from?!

"King, the defeated soldiers under the city say that they are the soldiers of Linwu Jun, begging us to open the door." The military general defending the city said, "Linwujun, Linwujun is defeated?" ”

Chu Wang Qi was at a loss.

Lin Wujun is here? Lin Wujun and Qin Guo have fought a battle? Lin Wujun...... Defeated?!

Chapter 263: King of Chu Begins to Die in Chu

King Qi of Chu can be regarded as the most resilient and sober king of Chu among the destroyed states of Qin.

He opened the treasure trove in the palace, mobilized the people to join the defense of the city, and personally put on armor to the city wall to comfort the soldiers defending the city;

He knows very well that the leader can't meddle indiscriminately, and the matter of defending the city is handed over to the generals, even if someone opposes some decisions made by the generals defending the city, as long as there are no mistakes, he will suppress them all, so that the generals can rest assured;

He also kept sending people to break through, trying to contact Xiang Yan and inform Xiang Yan of the situation in the city.

It can be said that Chu Wangqi has done everything he can.

Chu Wang Qi looked at the rout of the Chu army under the city and sighed.

He did everything he could, but in vain.

"Escape, King!" Seeing this scene under the city, all the nobles of the Chu State were very desperate.

Xiang Yan is not only the only Chu general who can fight in Chu State, but also took away the last elite soldier of Chu State! Now that Xiang Yan has been defeated, what hope does the Chu State have to resist the Qin State?!

King Qi of Chu glanced at everyone.

He laughed: "If the widow continues to hold on, will you tie up the widow and send it to the Qin army?" Just like what happened to King Yan? ”

Doctor Shiqing immediately said, "What nonsense is the king talking about? ”

Chu Wangqi shook his head: "It's not nonsense. ”

The most desperate thing now is not that Xiang Yan was defeated, but that only Chu was left in the Six Kingdoms.

What if you escape? The state of Chu faced enemies on all sides, and it was still difficult to escape the result of being eaten away.

The King of Qin treated the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms well. In the future, after the Qin State conquered the Chu State, the Chu Land will definitely still need the Chu people to govern. How many people around him have already turned to Qin?

Before, Xiang Yan's army was outside, and Xiang Cheng still had hope of defending, so these surrender thoughts were suppressed.

Now Xiang Yan, the only person who may be able to fight with General Qin, has been defeated, looking at the Chu State, where can there be a person who can turn the tide?

But dying.

"The widow has come to Chu since Qin, and he already knows that it is in vain." Wang Qi of Chu recalls his life in the Qin State.

King Qin was really good to him. If he is willing to do a good job for King Qin, as a relative, he will have the title of a feudal king.

One wrong step, his short life, half of his life.

If he had gone back in time, would he still have chosen this path?

Chu Wangqi didn't know.

When he decided to return to Chu at that time, the territory of Chu was still very vast, and its strength was still very strong, and it could still compete with Qin.

At that time, the monarch's father was not mediocre, and Chun Shenjun was still Ling Yin.

Who knew that just a few years after returning to China, the glorious edifice suddenly collapsed, and the 800 years of majesty disappeared in a blink of an eye?

"King, let's return to Chen, we can still defend it!" Doctor Youqing said.

Chu Wangqi recalled the end and said lightly: "If you can go back." ”

He knew the tide was set, but he still wanted to fight to the end. Maybe until all the people around him who support him die in battle, he will live up to his choice of this point of no return?

Chu Wang Qi did not open the city gate, and let the defeated soldiers wail in despair under the city.

Li Mu returned to Xiangcheng and drove the Chu army to desperately knock on the city walls and gates with the weapons in their hands, consuming the defensive weapons and soldiers on the city tower.

He held a telescope in one hand and a whip in the other hand and pointed at the city tower: "The king of Chu is in the city tower." He was probably looking to see where Xiang Yan was. ”

Meng Tian smiled and lifted a blood-stained head: "Here! ”

Li Mu said: "Take it to him." ”

Meng Tiance stepped forward immediately: "Okay! ”

Li Mu randomly found the head of a Chu person and asked Meng Tian to hang it on the flagpole.

"Xiang Yan is dead! Surrender quickly! ”

Meng Tian proudly held the flagpole and showed off under the city gate where Chu Wangqi was.

The army of Chu has been defeated, and the smugness in Meng Tian's expression does not seem to be fake, the people on the city wall have not believed it, and the defeated soldiers under the city wall have believed it first.

Some of them directly turned around and knelt down to surrender, and some of them knocked on the walls and gates of Xiangcheng even more frantically.

The words "General Xiang is dead" kept ringing out in the rout, overpowering Meng Tian's smug voice.

Among this group of routs was Xiang Yan, who had mixed in.

He wanted to jump out and shout "I'm not dead", but was held down by the guards and the lieutenant.

"General! The Qin people are just cheating you! ”

Of course Xiang Yan knew, but he was anxious.

The group of people in Xiangcheng was originally a group of mediocrity. If they think that they are dead and the morale of the defenders is low, Xiangcheng will be in danger!

Xiang Yan didn't think that the soldiers defending the city would "mourn the victory of the soldiers" because of their mourning death. The premise of "mourning soldiers will win" is that the soldiers' combat effectiveness and willpower are not weak, and they have great feelings for the dead.

Xiang Yan pulled all the soldiers loyal to him out on an expedition, and most of the soldiers left behind by Xiang Cheng were private soldiers surnamed Mi, and they didn't have much affection for themselves.

Sure enough, as Xiang Yan expected, when the people in the city shouted "Xiang Yan is dead", the situation that Chu Wang Qi had managed to stabilize became bad again.

The morale of the soldiers was low, and some of the doctors persuaded the king of Chu to flee quickly.

Chu Wang Qi said indifferently: "Even if the widow wants to escape, how can he escape?" You want the widow to be the bait and surrender yourself. ”

Chu Wangqi was too lazy to deal with these people, and directly pierced their minds.

Now that Xiang Cheng is surrounded by the Qin army, and Xiang Yan's rout is blocked, how can he break through?

If he can break through, why would he lose contact with Xiang Yan?

The idea of this group of people was nothing more than to trick themselves into opening the city gate, and then they were captured, and they surrendered.

The doctor immediately knelt down and swore that he had no such idea.

Chu Wang Qi glanced at everyone and said, "If you want to escape, the widow can open the city gate and let you and others flee first." ”

After Chu Wangqi said this, the person who said that he was going to flee was immediately silenced.

Whoever escapes first will become a target, and they will not be stupid.

Chu Wangqi sighed deeply.

There are only two paths in front of him now.

One way is to hold the city until the city is broken, and then die in battle; One way is for the soldiers defending the city to pour out of their nests, and they themselves are mixed in it to escape, and continue to resist Qin in the north.

But the land area of Chu is so large, and it is almost all plains. Xiangcheng is already the most central city.

To the north, he was adjacent to the eastern part of the Qin state, and to the south was the territory controlled by the Southern Qin army. In addition to the Chu State, there is only the Qin State in the world, where can he flee?

Just when King Qi of Chu was in trouble, the defeated soldiers actually cut a hole in the wall of Xiangcheng.

Although the defenders of the city forced the rout back with bows and crossbows, they quickly packed the gaps in the walls with stones and earth, and the morale of the city inevitably became even lower.

Chu Wang Qi did not go back to the city wall. He locked himself in the palace and covered his head to think about his future path.

At this time, Li Mu sent people to deliver a message under the city wall.

The general defending the city had the letter hung with a bamboo basket with a rope and gave it to Wang Qi of Chu.

This letter is, of course, a letter of persuasion.

"I know that the king of Chu wants to die for the state of Chu, but I ask the king of Chu to leave the classics stored in the palace of the king of Chu. The eight hundred years of the Chu State, the past is in the classics, the king of Chu can be martyred for the Chu State, and the past of the Chu State should not be martyred for the Chu State. ”

Chu Wangqi was stunned when he saw the letter, and he laughed and said, "This is persuasion? ”

He laughed so hard that he wiped his tears and coughed with laughter.

"He is worthy of being a friend of Zhu Xianggong, an extraordinary general." Chu Wang Qi really wanted to set fire to the palace of Chu Wang, and after seeing Li Mu's letter, he was convinced.

Since the Qin State had not thought of burning the past of the Chu State, how could he burn the past of the Chu State?

Although the state of Chu is destroyed, the past still exists. Those past are in a room full of classics that he moved from Chen Du.

Chu Wang Qi's heart suddenly became transparent.
