Ni Chu

Bai Fu and Wei Feng said in no uncertain terms that the fire was not easy to set off. Xiang Ye frowned. He pondered for a while before he said to the two: "I want the soldiers to hide behind the big shield. Three people form a group. Don’t target the Qin army on the city, but just shoot rockets high and attack for a whole day, do you think it’s feasible?”

"Will Xiang Yu agree?" Meng Su, who had been sitting beside him without speaking, said, "Xiang Yu's tactic has always been to attack by force. I'm afraid he won't agree to such a delaying method!"

Xiang Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said with some regret: "But if I urge the soldiers to attack, I'm afraid there are not many chances of success. If I can light a fire in the city, the people in the city and the defenders must devote all their energy to go forward. Go to fight the fire, so as to achieve the goal of dispersing the enemy army, wait until the defense of the city is relaxed, and then launch a strong attack, it will surely be defeated in one fell swoop!"

Meng Su frowned and didn't speak, but she felt a little disapproving of Xiang Ye's arrangement in her heart. She always felt that although it might bring trouble to Qin Jun, she would not be as optimistic as Xiang Ye thought.

Wei Feng and Bai Fu didn't speak either, and they were not very optimistic about Xiang Ye's plan.Rockets are generally used to disperse the enemy, or when the enemy is besieged in the house to force people out. There is no precedent for the use of such a large-scale siege proposed by Xiang Ye.

Xiang Ye looked at the crowd, slapped his hands on his thighs and said, "If you have no objections, this matter will be handled like this. At the third watch today, Bai Fu and Wei Feng will lead the crossbowmen to attack the city. attack!"

"How long?" After Xiang Ye gave the order, Bai Fu and Wei Feng asked at the same time.

"Until dawn." After Xiang Ye said this, he waved his hands to the two and said, "Go and rest first, the attack tonight is also very dangerous, and you need to maintain a lot of physical strength!"

After Wei Feng and Bai Fu left, Xiang Ye stood up, walked to Meng Su's side, stretched out two hands, took her small hand and pulled her up, then wrapped her hands around her tender waist, and said softly He said, "Why did you come to me?"

Meng Su lowered his head, pursed his red lips, raised his head after a while, looked into Xiang Ye's eyes and said shyly, "Are you really willing to marry me?"

Xiang Ye smiled and nodded, took Mengsu into his arms, and said softly: "I don't know when, you have become the most important woman in my heart, and I will definitely make you my wife .”

"What about Xiang Qing?" Xiang Ye's promise didn't make Mengsu lose his mind in happiness, she said a little sourly: "You also promised to marry her as your wife."

"Xiang Qing has some feelings for me, and there is General Xiang Yu as a matchmaker, so I have no choice but to marry her." Xiang Ye shook his head bitterly. This question is the last thing he wants to mention. He knows very well, If women are sour, men will not be able to control their jealousy.

To Xiang Ye's surprise, Mengsu didn't show jealousy, but lightly rested his head on his chest without saying a word for a while.

"I will marry you." Xiang Ye stroked Mengsu's hair and said affectionately.

Mengsu just buried his head in his arms and nodded slightly.

"General, General Xiang Yu summoned you to go to the tent to listen to orders!" Just as the two embraced each other tightly, the shouts of soldiers came from outside the tent.

Hearing the shout, Xiang Ye let go of Mengsu who was hugging him tightly, and said helplessly: "It seems that Xiang Yu is eager to break through Yongqiu, but Li You's defense is as strong as gold, and it is really not easy to break through! I'll go and see what he wants from me now, and I'll be back later!"

Mengsu nodded, and when Xiang Ye came to the door, she suddenly called Xiang Ye to a stop.

Xiang Ye turned his head, looked at Mengsu who was still on the verge of speaking in surprise, and asked in confusion, "What else is there?"

"Can you promise me one thing?" Meng Su pursed his lips and muttered for a moment before he murmured: "Once the city of Yongqiu is broken, I hope you can save Mr. Li, he is so kind to me, I can't stand by watch him die."

Xiang Ye nodded his head as he gave Mengsu an answer, but when he turned around and walked out of the tent, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had knocked over a five-flavored bottle.

Li You didn't have a deep friendship with Xiang Ye, but when he was in Xingyang, he saved Xiang Ye's life, which Xiang Ye never forgot.The defeat of Yongqiu this time was inevitable for Xiang Yu and the Chu army. Li You's efforts were nothing more than a mantis arm, and sooner or later he would fail.

History has already told him that in the battle of Yongqiu, Li You must die.He didn't want Li You to die, and Meng Su also made the same request to him. All he could do was to try his best to find Li You at the moment the city was broken, and then capture him so that he would not die in the Among the chaos.

When they returned to Xiang Yu's big tent, Xiang Qing was still there, and at the same time, there was another person in the big tent, a Chu army wearing a general's armor.

The armor on this general's body was damaged in several places, and blood was faintly oozing out from the damaged places.He looked very embarrassed, his face was covered with dust, and he looked like he had just experienced a war.

As soon as Xiang Ye entered the big tent, Xiang Yu waved to him repeatedly and said, "Brother-in-law, you came just in time. Chen Wu led an army to stop Zhang Han's reinforcements a few days ago, and encountered Sima Bian, a general of Zhang Han's tribe who came to support him, twenty miles away. , the number of enemy troops is large, and our army is defeated. You put aside the matter of attacking Yongqiu, and lead 3000 people to support Chen Wu. You must defeat the Qin army so as to avoid future troubles for our army. This time to block the enemy, Xiang Qing will follow you Let's go together."

After receiving this order from Xiang Yu, Xiang Ye heaved a long sigh of relief. Earlier, he was still thinking about how to spend a day with the Qin army in Yongqiu, and then launched a general offensive the next day. It happened that Xiang Yu sent him to attack the Qin army. Reinforcements, this is a good opportunity to delay, he accepted the order without hesitation.

After ordering three thousand soldiers and horses, Xiang Ye and Xiang Qing followed the Chu army who came to report the news and marched all the way on the way when they came, hoping to rush to the reinforcements before the Chu army retreated across the board.

The 3000 people were all cavalry, and Xiang Ye deliberately only ordered cavalry when counting troops.During the siege, the cavalry could not play any role at all, and they would not do much if they stayed in Yongqiu. Moreover, the Chu army's cavalry was equipped with simple equipment, which was only suitable for launching surprise attacks, not at all suitable for fighting in battle.

Xiang Ye chose them only to make full use of their fast and maneuverable characteristics, so as to catch Qin's reinforcements by surprise.

The army marched fast, and Xiang Qing always wanted to ride forward with Xiang Ye, but what Xiang Ye was riding was not an ordinary war horse, but a famous horse Chiji, so she could only look at Xiang Ye's back and sigh with emotion.

After the team rushed forward for more than ten miles non-stop, only a burst of shouts of killing came from a distance.

In the darkness, Xiang Ye faintly saw a group of Chu soldiers with their armor and armor removed running towards them.Behind these Chu troops was the Qin army chasing after them.

Seeing the Chu army chasing him, Xiang Ye slapped his horse, drew his long sword, and rushed towards the retreating Chu army like a tide.

"I am Xiang Ye, the vanguard in front of General Xiang Yu's tent. I led the army to support General Chen Wu. You wait to turn around quickly and fight to the death with the Qin people. Those who dare to flee will be killed without mercy!" With a swing of the long sword, the man running in the front was knocked down with a sword, and he shouted loudly to the panicked Chu army.

Seeing a man rushing forward, the defeated Chu army shouted that they were coming for reinforcements. They were stunned for a while, but before they could recover, the three thousand cavalrymen brought by Xiang Ye and Xiang Qing also appeared in front of them. in the field of vision.

As soon as these Chu soldiers saw the reinforcements arriving, no matter how many reinforcements came, they all shouted, raised their weapons, and killed the Qin army who was chasing them.

"Reinforcements are coming, brothers, kill!"

"Reinforcements are coming, we are saved!"

The excited shouts of the Chu army were everywhere, and against each other, the morale of the Qin army collapsed instantly.

A soldier of the Chu army who fled behind saw that he was about to be overtaken by the Qin army. When he heard that the reinforcements were coming, he immediately turned around and struck at the Qin army behind him with a sword.

The Qin army was only focused on chasing, and didn't pay attention to the Chu army soldiers turning around suddenly. In shock, their heads were split into two pieces.

The Chu soldier didn't stop after beheading one person, and the shield he held in the other hand smashed down on the head of another Qin soldier who was rushing over.That Qin Bing was only paying attention to the short sword in his hand, he never thought that he would hit him with a shield, he was hit by the shield heavily on his temple, his head was stunned, and he fell to the ground.

After Chu Bing smashed Qin Bing, he took a step forward, flipped his wrist, squatted on the ground, and stabbed Qin Bing's heart with the short sword. With a spurt of blood gushing out of Qin Bing's chest, the battle was over again. There is a ray of innocent souls who died in battle.

Xiang Ye rode a horse, and after killing more than a dozen Qin soldiers who were fighting independently, he stopped a Chu soldier and asked loudly, "Where is General Chen Wu?"

The soldier was depressed by being chased by the Qin army before, but at this time he was on the rise, and was stopped by Xiang Ye. He thought it was the Qin army, swung his short sword, and slashed towards Xiang Ye's horse.

Xiang Ye's long sword was facing down, blocking the short sword of the Chu soldier, and with a casual movement, the Chu soldier's sword was thrown aside, and he shouted: "Where is General Chen Wu?"

Chu Bing was stunned for a moment by his shout. Seeing that the man he had slashed just now was a partial general of his own army, he burst into a cold sweat, stammering, pointing to the most intense place in front of him and saying: "General Pu retreated too slowly, surrounded by the Qin army!"

Xiang Ye didn't talk nonsense with the soldier, shook the reins, and lightly clamped Chiji's abdomen with his legs. Chiji let out a long hiss, and rushed towards the place where the Qin army was most dense in front of him.

After entering the battle group, Xiang Qing was worried about Xiang Ye's safety, and approached him while killing the enemy. Seeing Xiang Ye rushing towards the place where the Qin army was most densely populated, he became anxious, and hurriedly rode his horse behind and killed the Qin army. past.
