Chapter 8 Small Bridges and Flowing Water

The yellow sand was raging, and the entire Ximen Pass fell into silence, and one mile away from the Ximen Pass, hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops attacked again, with a fierce momentum and a huge momentum.

And at this moment, inside the West Gate Pass, Qin Lang and Iron Blood, as well as Xiahou Ba and other generals stood on the city wall, looking into the distance, looking at the approaching Xiliang army, their hearts palpitated, and they looked at each other.

After Zhao Ziyun left the city, he was afraid that Ximen Pass would mess up the army's morale, so he changed Qin Lang to Ximen Pass, after all, although Qin Lang was the commander of the prince's right command, he was familiar with military books since he was a child, and he had a little more experience than Zhao Ziyun.

"I just received a message from His Highness, ordering us to defend to the death, and 100,000 reinforcements will arrive later!" Qin Lang told the generals the information that Chu Mo had brought back.

But immediately, someone looked impatient and worried: "I'm afraid that before the general rushes back, we will have been martyred, I have a plan, now the most important thing for us is to buy time, then it is better to send a team of men and horses to sneak attack, so as to delay time, I don't know if it is possible?"

Immediately, Qin Lang directly vetoed it, shook his head and said: "This is undoubtedly going to die, no, and in this way, it will also disperse the military forces in the city, Your Highness asked me to wait to defend to the death, then we will listen to Your Highness, defend to the death!"

Xiahou Ba and Tie Zhi also nodded in unison, agreeing with Qin Lang's idea. After all, Chu Mo has brought them too many surprises, and this time, they also believe in Chu Mo from the bottom of their hearts!

"Look, they've stopped!"

At this moment, a sentry hurriedly reported that Qin Lang, Iron Blood, and Xiahou Ba all looked out of the city, only to see that the ball of light really stopped!

"Ling Huxiong is scheming, he uses soldiers like a god, I don't know what the hell he wants to do?" Iron Blood frowned, he still knew something about Ling Huxiong.

"There's cavalry coming!"

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see a Xiliang cavalry stop when they approached the city wall, raised their heads and shouted: "Heavenly grace, my family ordered the young master of the fox to order me to come and spread the word, those who surrender, avoid death, in addition, for him to be a honored guest, by the favor of the Xiliang, so that the young master of the fox only gives you a quarter of an hour to consider!"

Hearing this, all the soldiers on the city wall were collectively silent, and now, they were faced with two choices, either die in battle or surrender, a quarter of an hour, too short.

"Vote it, Ximen Pass is full of holes, and the soldiers are tired, not to mention, Linghu Xiong and their men and horses are dozens of times more than ours, how to fight this battle?"

At this moment, a cry broke the silence, and everyone followed the sound to see that the person who spoke was an iron-blooded lieutenant general, and they couldn't help crying, and this scene was seen by all the soldiers.

"Vice General Li, are you crazy?"

Iron Blood was dumbfounded, kicked it to the ground, and scolded angrily: "If we surrender, our reputation will be small, but are we worthy of the prince, the people of Chu, and your parents?"

"Down, you deserve to drop, get out!!"

"General, orders have always been at your disposal, this time, can you listen to the audience's soldiers? The adjutant general burst into tears, pointed at the soldiers behind him who bowed their heads and said silently, and shouted: "General, you ask them, there are old and young, if it is not forced, are they willing to become soldiers?"

"If they die in battle, how will the family be established? General, I'm only afraid, before the prince arrives, the city will be ruined and people will die, and at that time, it will be too late to regret it, please think twice!"

Vice General Li gritted his teeth, knocked his head heavily on the ground, and then raised his head to the sky and cried: "General, please be selfish!"

Iron Blood immediately kicked it again, looked at the group of soldiers below who were bowed and silent, and said indifferently: "If you want to surrender, unless I die!"

"Vice General Li, if you dare to persuade him to surrender again, General Ben will be dealt with by military law, and he will show no mercy!

This scene was naturally seen by Qin Lang, but he didn't say anything, but moved his gaze to the Xiliang cavalry below, and scolded angrily: "Go back and report to your master, the Chu people would rather die than surrender!"

At the same time, a spy came to report that the prince led hundreds of thousands of troops to help!

This news undoubtedly made the generals beat like chicken blood, which made everyone excited, and this news was heard by the Xiliang cavalry who were about to leave.

"The army listens to the order and guards the West Gate Pass!"

"Yes!"

With the excitement of the soldiers at Ximen Pass, on the other side, Ling Huxiong naturally received the news brought by the cavalry, and when he sneered, he said disdainfully: "If there are really hundreds of thousands of troops, why would they support at such a time?"

"Order the army, attack the city now!"

Ling Huxiong's eyes narrowed slightly, and the horse under his crotch suddenly roared, and suddenly, Ling Huxiong took the lead and killed in the direction of Ximen Pass!

"Siege!"

The horse's hooves neighed, the yellow sand filled the sky, accompanied by the noisy deafening shouts, the entire Xiliang army rushed towards the West Gate Pass, and the war officially began!

Seeing that the Western Liang army was overwhelming, Qin Lang did not dare to hesitate, even if he ordered all the troops, all of them were at the mouth of the city wall, with stones, weapons, and a small amount of gunpowder as the attack point to ensure that the Western Liang cavalry could not attack, as for the city wall, he sent heavy troops to guard it.

The first batch of Xiliang pioneers approached the city with lightning speed, obviously, this group of Xiliang pioneers were well-trained, and immediately dragged huge wooden pillars with horses to smash towards the city gate, they wanted to break the force with force, which was also the method that Ling Huxiong came up with.

However, Qin Lang directly ordered to use gunpowder to extinguish his elite troops, after all, these elite cavalry are too powerful in combat power, and they can't resist them at all.

Bang!

The gunpowder exploded, and suddenly the flames were everywhere, and this terrifying power instantly shocked the Xiliang army, and even Ling Huxiong looked at the scene in front of him in horror, and immediately relented, and roared: "Continue to attack!"

In an instant, with the smoke and blood in the air, the Xiliang army became even more frantic and rushed towards the city gate!

"Report, there is only one gunpowder left!"

On the city wall, behind Qin Lang, a soldier with a gray face was half-kneeling on the ground, panting.

"Bomb, organize another hundred killers, when the city is broken, follow me out of the city!" Qin Lang regarded death as if he were at home, tied a black cloth to his forehead, his face was expressionless, no matter what, he had to delay the time to wait for Chu Mo, even if he died in battle, he was fearless.

"Yes!"

After a moment's hesitation, the soldier nodded and hurriedly retreated.

As for Tie Zhi and Xiahou Ba on the side, they clenched their fists, their eyes were resolute, and Tie Zhi took the first step to speak: "This first battle, how can you let Qin Commander go, this first battle, I think I will fight with iron blood!"

"I just ask Commander Qin to ask for credit for these brothers in front of His Highness, and let their names be passed on to future generations!"

On the side, Xiahou Ba and Qin Lang looked back at Iron Blood, only to see that Iron Blood's eyes were complicated, and in his eyes, there were sparks and tears when the last gunpowder exploded, and at the same time, they fell.

"I don't regret entering the Chu State in this life, and I will be a Chu State in the next life!"
