However, although Chen Ao was surprised, he did not mess up, immediately pulled out his sword, raised it above his head, turned around and looked around at the more than ten guests behind him with sharp eyes, and shouted: "Righteous soldiers, the time has come to show your courage! Who can help me recapture the city gate and reward 10,000 yuan! Who can help me defend Ao Cang, reward 100,000 yuan!"

As soon as Chen Ao's voice fell, more than ten doormen were already like wolves and tigers, screaming and rushing to the city gate, at the head of the city, more doormen were swarming down, and even a few elderly veterans also rushed into the road with a halberd and were not afraid of death, I really don't know how the word death is written.

Inside the city gate, Xiang Zhuang quietly retreated, outside the city gate, five hundred vanguard dead soldiers had already swarmed up with arrows, under Ao Mountain, two thousand soldiers of the assault battalion had also come like a tide, only with the three thousand old and weak soldiers in Ao Cang City and Chen Ao's hundreds of guests, it was impossible to block Xiang Chu's soldiers!

The overall situation has been decided, and there is no need for Xiang Zhuang to boost morale by charging into battle.

Chen Ying stepped forward with a horizontal knife and shouted angrily: "Chen Ying, the left Sima of Great Chu, is here, who dares to come up and send him to death?"

Chen Ao's doorman was not a vegetarian either, he stabbed at him with a silent swing of the sword, Chen Ying did not dodge, he suddenly took a step forward and raised the big knife again, the thick and sharp blade cut the air in an instant, let out a piercing scream, and slashed at the doorman's neck like lightning, the doorman suddenly changed color, and retreated sharply.

Chen Yingsen smiled, you don't dare to fight for your life, you have already lost before you fight!

In an instant, Chen Ying's horizontal slashing knife suddenly stopped, and stabbed at the doorman's throat like lightning.

The doorman was still retreating at his feet, and before he could make a new dodge move, he was stabbed through the throat by Chen Ying, and the doorman was menacing, and he was not Chen Ying's opponent with one move! The doorman's martial arts may be very good, but he learned the art of technical attack, in order to win, while Chen Ying learned the art of fighting for his life, in order to kill people in battle!

In an instant, the doormen who rushed to the front had already flocked to the door, Chen Ying naturally couldn't stop so many killers alone, and immediately took two steps back and disappeared into the group of dead soldiers, fifty vanguard dead soldiers had already formed a formation, ten people in a row, five rows in front and back, stubbornly guarding the city gate, although Chen Ao's doormen were desperate, the pioneer dead soldiers were immovable!

At the foot of Ao Mountain, tens of thousands of hungry people are still fleeing in a hurry.

Fortunately, the "Qi Army" soldiers who swarmed from the west did not chase them, but followed the road up the mountain to the gate of Aocang, and in less than a moment, the road up the mountain and the steep slopes on both sides were already crowded with Chu army armor soldiers holding knives in their right hands and shields in their left hands.

In the city of Aocang, fierce battles are raging.

With the arrival of the vanguard battalion, the fifty dead soldiers who were guarding the city gate immediately began a counterattack. Chen Ao's doormen are also skilled in force, but they are all strong in individual combat ability, lacking team combat ability, and the Chu army is all team fighting, and soon the doormen and guests are divided into several small pieces, every ten people, twenty people besiege one or two doormen, dozens of sharp swords Leng Sensen attacked them in a uniform manner, all the retreats were blocked, and soon which doormen were killed by the Chu army A screaming wolf.

Under the incomparably fierce offensive of the Chu army, more than half of Chen Ao's hundreds of disciples were killed and wounded, and finally defeated, Li Chun, who was covered in blood, rushed to Chen Ao's approach, and said miserably: "My lord, the rebels are unstoppable, and the city gate can't be guarded!"

Chen Ao's heart was cold, even if Li Chun didn't say it, he also saw it, in just a moment, as soon as he pulled out the dead soldiers of the rebels, he had already swept through the city gate and entered Aocang City, whether it was the doormen he recruited with all his wealth, or the three thousand old and weak soldiers in Aocang City, they couldn't stop this group of dead soldiers like wolves and tigers at all!

At this moment, Chen Ao couldn't believe his eyes, this rebel army was so brave and unstoppable, where did they come from, could it be Xiang Yujun, but it was obviously in Xianyang, did it fly over overnight?

Gritting his teeth, Chen Ao was unwilling to kill himself after all, and immediately shouted: "Let's go, retreat to the beacon tower!"

When Qin Shi Huang built Aocang, he did not build a beacon tower on the top of Ao Mountain, this beacon tower was built by Chen Ao after serving as Ao Cang Order, and agreed with the nearby Guangwu, Chenggao, Xingyang, and Jingyi five cities that as long as the Ao Mountain Beacon Fire started, the Five Cities Order must do the soldiers and horses in the city, and rush to the rescue!

In a moment, Chen Ao led his group to retreat towards the beacon tower in a hurry, and when they climbed to the ten-zhang towering platform, the three thousand old and weak people in Aocang City had almost been killed by the rebels, and the entire Aocang was almost completely controlled by the rebels.

Chen Ao sighed, and immediately asked the doorman to light a beacon fire and ask for help from the five nearby cities.

Although Chen Ao knew that even if the defenders of the five cities of Guangwu, Chenggao, Jingyi, and Xingyang were exhausted, it would be impossible to recapture Aocang, but now, did he have any other way? He could only hope that a miracle would happen, and that the reinforcements from the five cities would be able to entangle the rebels until the army led by King Tian Heng of Qi arrived!

After a period of fighting, Xiang Zhuang, Chen Ying and others also rushed to the beacon tower.

I saw a ten-zhang high platform standing majestically, a thick stone pillar on the top of the platform, about ten zhang high, pierced into the vast sky, a huge bronze flying phoenix perched on the top of the column, high entrenched in the blue sky, as a shape to look up to the sky and roar. The pillar body "beacon tower" three official characters shine in the sun, the high platform is surrounded by beacon smoke, the fire is blazing, and the shouts are continuous.

Xiang Zhuang didn't have time to appreciate the wonder of the high platform in front of him, and secretly screamed in his heart, he had to admire Chen Ao for his ability, and he would actually use the terrain to build such a high beacon tower on the top of the mountain.

Xiang Zhuang immediately shouted: "Brothers, do you see, the Qi army on the top of the mountain has already lit the beacon fire, hurry up, take down the beacon tower on the top of the mountain to Lao Tzu, and all the Han troops inside will be killed, and no one will be left!"

"No!" the hundred and ten vanguard dead men suddenly agreed, turned around and were about to rush up the mountain.

"Slow!" At this time, a broken drink suddenly came from below, and when Xiang Zhuang and more than hundreds of pioneer dead soldiers looked back hurriedly, they saw that Ling'er had already strode up surrounded by Peng Yue, Wu Sui and other generals, it turned out that Ling'er shouted while walking: "Brother Zhuang, don't kill Chen Ao!"

"Huh?" Xiang Zhuang suddenly looked confused when he heard this.

Ling'er explained: "This Chen Ao is a powerful man in Wei Di, not only has many customers, but also is extremely famous in Wei Di, if he is killed today, and that Wei Di Haoqiang dares to deal with our Chu army?"

Xiang Zhuang suddenly realized, and then smiled: "It's still Ling'er who thinks about it thoroughly, but you can't kill it!"

At that moment, he turned around and instructed Chen Ying: "Chen Ying, immediately lead people to surround the beacon tower on the top of the mountain, don't let the people inside come down, and don't go up to provoke them!"

Ling'er proposed not to kill Chen Ao, but Xiang Zhuang did not intend to persuade this opponent of the Chu army to surrender!

Although Xiang Zhuang here did not provoke Chen Ao, Chen Ao sent people to throw rolling stones and shoot feather arrows from the top of the sentry post, injuring dozens of dead soldiers of the Chu army in the blink of an eye.

Chen Ying said angrily: "They are looking for death, General, let me teach them a lesson!" After saying that, he personally raised his bow and arrows, and ordered the archers to release arrows to the platform, and immediately hundreds of arrows rained down on the platform.
