Ni Chu

The first day of the Chu army's siege ended at the cost of leaving nearly 5000 corpses and nearly [-] people injured.

The Qin army on the city suffered very little loss. After the Chu army attacked the city for a day, Ji Bu received an arrow on his shoulder and retreated helplessly. They attacked the city all day. The walls were not climbed.

Looking at the dejected Chu Jun, Xiang Ye frowned.He was riding on horseback, looking at the city wall of Yongqiu, and a thought flashed in his mind.

Facing the impregnable Yongqiu City, Xiang Yu also felt a little helpless.

Ji Bu was the number one brave general under his command. Ji Bu was injured because the siege ladder couldn't be built, so the Qin army on the city wall took the opportunity to shoot him.Facing the greasy city wall, Xiang Yu felt helpless for the first time since the Western Expedition.

"Wei Feng, come with me to General Xiang Yu's tent." After the army set up camp, Xiang Ye said to Wei Feng who was busy packing up after he settled everything.

Wei Feng responded, threw the bedding on the straw mat, and followed Xiang Ye out of the tent.

"What's the matter with Shi Lei?" Xiang Ye asked Wei Feng indifferently after the two walked side by side for a certain distance.

Wei Feng shook his head, sighed, and replied to Xiang Ye: "His condition is very bad, and it may take a long time to recover."

"This bastard!" Xiang Ye smiled wryly, shook his head, and said helplessly, "I stole someone's wife, and I haven't really woken up yet, so don't let him have more contact with outsiders recently. If I think right, Zhong Li Mo and Long went to save us, but they just brought him back, and they still look down on him in the bottom of their hearts. Liu Bang probably hates him now, so we should let him have less contact with people. Although he used to Hanging out in the market, but emotionally unfamiliar, this is the first time I have been in love, and I met a woman like Lu Zhi, you have to remember that we are all brothers, and the whole world can look down on him, but you and I No way, there is no other reason, the only reason is that we are brothers!"

"Well, I understand!" Wei Feng nodded, and followed Xiang Ye towards Xiang Yu's big tent.

After Xiang Ye walked a certain distance, he suddenly said to Wei Feng as if remembering something: "Among these brothers, you are the oldest. You have to help take care of them when I'm not around. You must remember that other people's No matter how good a woman is, don't think about possessing it. If someone finds out, we won't take it anyway."

"Don't worry, general!" Wei Feng smiled slightly, and said to Xiang Ye: "I'm different from Shi Lei, I'm not interested in other people's women at all, as for the other brothers, I will definitely help you take care of them and prevent them from being like Shi Lei is the same."

"En!" Xiang Ye nodded, and continued walking towards Xiang Yu's big tent with Wei Feng.

As soon as the two of them approached the big tent, they heard Xiang Yu's furious voice coming from inside.

"What kind of battle is this called?" First came the sound of pottery breaking from inside the big tent, and then Xiang Yu's roar: "Almost 2000 people died, and only one person climbed to the top of the city. What's the matter with the city wall? Couldn't even a ladder hold it up?"

Xiang Ye and Wei Feng were still some distance away from the big tent, and they didn't hear if anyone in the tent answered, but after Xiang Yu roared, the big tent became quiet for a while, and his roar did not come out again.

"Who is it? Stop!" Xiang Ye and Wei Feng had just walked more than ten steps away from the big tent, when two soldiers stopped them, and one of them said to them: "General Xiang is discussing important military affairs, please avoid."

Xiang Ye cupped his hands to the two soldiers, and said, "I'm here for military affairs, so I ask my brother to help me report."

Two soldiers looked him and Wei Feng from head to toe, one of them frowned and said, "Hold on!"

Xiang Ye was a little depressed. He had never been treated like this in Liu Bang's military camp. If it wasn't for Shi Lei who killed Liu Bang's wife that day, Liu Bang would not be so blatantly trying to mistreat Mengsu, let alone take the risk. The greatness of the world is against them.

A soldier turned his head and ran into Xiang Yu's big tent. Xiang Ye and Wei Feng stood there and waited quietly. If Xiang Ye hadn't been fully sure of the method he thought of this time, when Xiang Yu was furious, he would definitely fight with him. Wei Feng turned around and left together.

After a while, the soldier ran out, waved his hands to Xiang Ye and Wei Feng, pointed to the big tent with his thumb and said, "General Xiang told you to go over, don't say brothers didn't remind you, this will He's angry, you better not talk nonsense."

"Thank you, brother!" Xiang Ye clasped his fists at the soldier and said to Wei Feng, "Let's go there!"

As soon as he entered the big tent, Xiang Ye smelled a heavy breath.

Xiang Yu knelt on the main seat, frowned, and stared at Xiang Ye and Wei Feng who had just entered the tent.

Zhong Limei, Ji Bu and others sat on the left and right sides respectively. When Xiang Ye entered the tent, Ying Bu and Long Qie looked up at him, while the others lowered their heads and wondered what they were thinking.

Xiang Ye bowed and cupped his fists to Xiang Yu, who was full of anger, and said, "General, the last general is taking the liberty to come here just for today's siege of the city! Please forgive me for disturbing the general's business!"

Hearing that Xiang Ye said that he came here for the siege during the day, Xiang Yu sat up straight, stretched out a hand and gestured for him to sit down and said: "General Xiang Ye came here just for this matter, I think he has a good idea. , please sit down, Xiang Ji would like to hear more about it!"

Xiang Ye bowed and took the seat at the bottom, while Wei Feng naturally stood behind him.

"Today's siege, according to the general's observation, the Qin army should have painted mountain lacquer on the city wall. This thing is smooth and tough. Our army's siege failed not because it couldn't rush to the foot of the city, but because the siege ladder couldn't be reached. , if you want to crack this thing, you can only use fire."

"Use fire?" When Xiang Ye's words came out, everyone in the tent including Xiang Yu's eyes lit up, and they all leaned over to look at Xiang Ye.

"What good strategy does the general have, please tell me quickly!" From Xiang Ye's words, Xiang Yu seemed to have heard something, and said to Xiang Ye quickly: "If the strategy works, once the city of Yongqiu is destroyed, I will reward the general heavily." !"

Xiang Ye smiled and said to Xiang Yu: "Mountain lacquer is oily and cannot withstand baking. As long as you can set a big fire under the city and burn it for a day and a night, the lacquer painted on the city wall will definitely peel off. Even if there is a small amount of residue, it will become dry and lose its oiliness. When the fire is extinguished, our army will attack the city again, and it will be destroyed in one fell swoop!"

"Good way!" Before Xiang Yu could speak, Long Qi slapped his thigh fiercely, and said to Xiang Yu: "Brother, General Xiang Ye's way is good! How about I take people to the city of Yongqiu tonight, Put on a fire and talk!"

Xiang Yu squeezed his chin, frowned and glared at Long Qie.The excited Longqie immediately shut up after being stared at, and obediently sat aside to watch his nose, nose, mouth, and mouth, and suddenly became like an eminent monk in meditation.

"I ask General Xiang Ye to come up with an idea on this matter." Seeing Long and sitting back obediently, Xiang Yu said to Xiang Ye: "Although this plan is subtle, if Li You knows about it, what is the point of implementing it?" Difficult, I wonder what good strategy the general has?"

Xiang Ye smiled, stretched out his hand to twirl his beardless chin, and said to Xiang Yu: "It's not too late, it's best to start the operation tonight. Please, general, get me hay for a hundred cattle and a hundred carriages." , it’s best to get these things before the second watch, we must do it at the third watch!”

"Can you tell me how to do it in detail?" Xiang Yu frowned and asked Xiang Ye curiously.

Xiang Ye shook his head, and said mysteriously: "The heavenly secret must not be revealed!"

"Okay! Just act according to the general's plan!" What everyone in the tent didn't expect was that instead of being furious because Xiang Ye refused to answer the question, Xiang Yu laughed and shouted to the outside of the tent: "Come on, get it right away!" A hundred oxen and a hundred carts!"

After coming out of Xiang Yu's big tent, Xiang Ye did not return to the barracks immediately, but rushed to the place where the Chu army lined up during the day with Wei Feng.

The two of them looked at Yongqiu with several lights on the city wall from a distance, and Xiang Ye said to Wei Feng: "Five hundred paces, are you sure you can shoot that far?"

Wei Feng raised his head high and looked towards the city wall, then he stretched out another hand, dipped some saliva on his thumb, Bi Yibi shook his head and said, "Difficult! The south wind is blowing tonight , Draw your bow against the wind, even though I use a world-renowned bow, I am not sure that I can hit a target five hundred paces away!"

"Come closer, how about [-] steps?" Xiang Ye frowned first, and then asked: "Are you sure you can hit the target at a distance of [-] steps from the city wall?"

Wei Feng nodded, and said to Xiang Ye: "I'm sure of this, it's only [-] paces away, the Qin Nu can hit us even if it's not with the wind, not to mention the wind with the wind tonight, it's very dangerous!"

"Hehe, it's okay!" Xiang Ye patted Wei Feng's shoulder and said to him: "I will naturally let you hide in front of them, and I will go with you at that time. Will not be alone!"

"Haha! The general is joking!" Hearing what Xiang Ye said, Wei Feng raised his head and laughed, and said to Xiang Ye: "I, Wei Feng, can meet the general and call you brothers and sisters. I am very satisfied. Since the general ordered me to How can you spare this life? I will go alone tonight, and the general only needs to tell me what I will do then!"

Xiang Ye smiled, looked to the left and right, saw that there was no one else around, so he whispered something into Wei Feng's ear.

Wei Feng nodded while listening, and when Xiang Ye finished speaking, he stared at Xiang Ye in astonishment and asked, "Are you sure you can do this?"

"Why not?" Xiang Ye said to Wei Feng with a smile: "If you don't want to lose a single soldier, but also want to burn a big fire under Yongqiu City, I really can't think of a better idea than this! "
