Ni Chu

The two sides fought until dawn, when Xiang Ye and Xiang Qing led the Chu army to repel the Qin army. Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through the Chu army's defense line, Sima Bian had to retreat to Puyang with his troops.

After repelling the Qin army, Xiang Ye met General Pu, and it was at this time that he realized that General Pu's surname was not Pu, but Chen Mingwu.

This is indeed not mentioned in the history textbooks. Xiang Ye really has the urge to travel back to 2000 and tell all this to his classmates and teachers.But he didn't know what to do to go back to the year 2000.

After defeating the Qin army, he did not immediately return to the outside of Yongqiu City.He knew that there must be a fierce battle going on there, and it would be unwise to return to Yongqiu at this time. If Xiang Yu entrusted him with the responsibility of commanding the siege, he would suffer a disastrous defeat like Ji Bu and Yingbo.

War is an extremely barbaric way of dealing with disputes invented by human beings.When Xiang Ye first came to this world, facing death, he still felt a little fear and sadness.

As time passed, he gradually became numb to death.Human beings, like any other living beings, are bound to fight as long as they are alive.

Seeing death is commonplace for Xiang Ye, he has become numb to death.The only thing he doesn't want and doesn't want to see is that the people around him leave him forever. He hopes that Yu Fanjun will be the first and last person to die who once cared about him sincerely.

On a dirt slope ten miles away from Yongqiu, Xiang Ye put his hands behind his back and looked at the distant city of Yongqiu.

The dark silhouette of Yongqiu City loomed under the sunlight, Xiang Ye looked up at the sky, sighed sadly, and said, "It's going to rain soon!"

Xiang Qing, who was standing beside him, followed his gaze and looked up to the sky. The fireball-like sun hung high in the air, casting a golden light to the whole world.

She turned her head to look at Xiang Ye, and asked in puzzlement, "The sun is burning, how do you know it's going to rain?"

Xiang Ye smiled bitterly, and said leisurely: "The mountain rain is about to come, and the building is full of wind. The strong wind is blowing here, and there will be heavy rain. It seems that my plan of attacking with fire is going to be in vain."

"It won't rain, I believe your plan will be implemented smoothly." Xiang Qing shook her head and smiled sweetly at Xiang Ye. He has great trust in Xiang Ye.

Xiang Ye didn't speak, but put his hands behind his back, avoided the sun, and looked up at the blue sky.In the sky, a white cloud floated leisurely over his and Xiang Qing's heads, and gusts of mountain wind passed by his and Xiang Qing's sides, stirring up their clothes and ruffling their hair.

Yongqiu, the fierce battle is still going on, the Chu army is still at a complete disadvantage, and is always suppressed and beaten by the Qin army during the attack.

"My lord! It's not good!" On the wall of Yongqiu City, the commander of the Qin army ran to Li You's side, half-knelt on the ground and said in panic: "Our army's arrows have been exhausted, and the big stone is about to be thrown. After that, all the oil that can be collected in the city has been collected. Judging from the current consumption rate, within three hours, our army will not be able to effectively kill the bandits, and can only fight them hand-to-hand in the city !"

Li You frowned, and said to the general: "Don't panic, our army is on the top, and the enemy is on the bottom. We still have the upper hand. We strictly order all ministries to guard against it, and don't give the bandits a chance to ascend the city!"

"Yes!" The general responded, and after getting up, he shouted to the Qin army on the city: "The governor of the county has an order, and all departments are strictly guarded, and the bandits must not be given a chance to enter the city!"

When the crossbowmen of the Qin army pulled out the arrows from the quiver, they no longer shot as casually as they did two days ago. Each of them shot the arrows after aiming at the Chu army, which caused the Chu army under the city to suffer even more. Loss.

Many Chu soldiers were shot by arrows flying down from the city during the charge, and fell to the ground after somersaults, becoming one of the thick piles of corpses outside the city.

After three days of attacking, the corpses piled up under the city of Yongqiu, and it was very difficult for the Chu army to advance every step. They had to step over the corpses of their companions before rushing to the foot of the city wall, where they built a siege ladder. Sometimes they had to pull away the corpses at the foot of the ladder. These redundant actions caused them to suffer even greater losses.

Yu Ziqi, who was in charge of commanding the siege on the third day, closed his eyes and tried not to watch the brutal battle below the city, it was a completely one-sided massacre.

He let out a long sigh, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, let out a sigh of relief, and said to the general beside him, "How many people have we lost?"

"Report to the general, since the early morning siege to this moment, our army has killed nearly 2000 people, and countless wounded!"

"Sigh, turning a piece of thousand-year-old black iron into an unrivaled weapon is much easier than breaking down Yongqiu!" Yu Ziqi sighed, shook the reins of his horse, turned and walked towards the rear of the headquarters.

Standing in front of the formation, the general looked at the Yongqiu City where the fierce battle was going on.

At the foot of the city wall, rows of Chu troops were knocked to the ground by crossbows and bows shot down by the Qin army on the city; boulders smashed down the Chu troops who were climbing towards the city, and at the city gate, a pot of fire rolled over. The oil poured down on the Chu army who was holding a log and charged at the gate of the city.

While the screams of the besieging Chu army came from below the city, there were also the screams of the wounded and the shouts of the officers when they urged the soldiers to go to the city.

A group of Chu troops boarded the city wall, but they would soon be driven down again by the Qin troops on the city.

A Chu soldier had just climbed up the battlements, and before he had time to gain a firm footing, a figure rushed towards him.

The one who jumped over was a Qin soldier whose arm was cut off by Qi Gen, and the wound was still bleeding. This Qin soldier was pale, except for the broken arm, there were several wounds on his body, and the blood was flowing from his body. The wound gushed out.

He rushed to the soldiers of the Chu army who had just climbed onto the top of the wall, tightly bound the soldiers of the Chu army with his remaining arm, and threw himself down the city wall.

The soldiers of the Chu army uttered a scream, and fell into the pile of corpses under the city together with the Qin soldier, falling into two puddles of flesh.

The Qin army set up a spear array on the edge of the city wall. As soon as the Chu army climbed onto the battlements, more than a dozen spears would stab at them. Under this dense defense, the Chu troops who climbed the city wall were pierced and fell. down.

At dusk, the Qin army in Yongqiu threw the last big stone, shot the last arrow, and poured the last pot of boiling oil. They no longer had weapons that could cause large-scale damage to the Chu army below the city.

The sky gradually darkened, and the sunset at dusk was covered by a dark cloud. The blood-like glow gradually lost its luster under the cover of the dark cloud, and the light cast by the setting sun turned the earth into a dark yellow like the face of a sick man.

A flash of lightning pierced the sky, followed by thunderous thunder. Xiang Ye, who was riding a horse and leading [-] cavalry slowly marching towards Yongqiu, looked up at the sky, and rode beside him Xiang Qing smiled slightly and said, "It's really going to rain."

Xiang Qing looked up at the sky, her jade-like face was also reflected in a miserable yellow color under the dark yellow light, she frowned, and said to Xiang Ye a little anxiously: "You are still laughing!" Come out, once it rains, your plan to burn Yongqiu will be ruined."

Xiang Ye shook his head and said to Xiang Qing: "The burning of Yongqiu is actually not what I most hope to happen. The rain came just in time, and it made me understand that it is immoral to burn a city guarded by warriors with a big fire." It is not allowed by heaven."

"What are you going to do?" Xiang Ye's words did not convince Xiang Qing, she always felt that burning Yongqiu City with fire was the most ideal way.

Xiang Ye heaved a sigh, and said with a long sigh: "The most convincing way to fight against warriors is to conquer them with the same brave heart! Only in this way can we gain the recognition of the whole world and conquer the heroes of the world!"

"Your idea is very similar to my elder brother!" Xiang Qing curled his lips, shook his head and said, "My elder brother is born with supernatural power, and it is like entering a land without people. But you can only rely on walking to fight." It can exert the greatest lethality, if it rushes into the enemy's formation, it is easy to be surrounded without a mount, and finally die of exhaustion!"

Xiang Ye agreed with Xiang Qing's words. He sighed helplessly and said, "Mr. Gai Nie only taught me this set of foot fighting and sword skills, but he didn't teach me how to fight on horseback. This is indeed something I have been struggling with." thing."

When Xiang Ye lamented that he couldn't fight horses, Xiang Qing smiled sweetly at him and said, "General Longqi is my brother's brother-in-law, and his martial arts was taught by him, why don't you ask him to learn his skills too?" Hand Eighteen Challenges 'teach you? Then you can calmly handle both foot and horse battles, and you won't be afraid of anyone in future battles."

Xiang Qing's words made Xiang Ye's eyes brighten, but the light of expectation in his eyes dimmed again in an instant, and he said with some regret: "General Longqie is General Xiang Yu's brother-in-law, but I am nothing, how can I ask him for help?" Teach me martial arts?"

"Who says you're nothing?" Xiang Qing pouted unhappily, and argued against Xiang Ye: "You are his brother-in-law, and the husband of her most beloved sister, if he dares not teach you, I'll call My dad taught him a lesson."

When Xiang Qing mentioned her father Xiang Liang, his face was filled with infinite pride.But when Xiang Ye looked at the pride on her face, he felt a throbbing pain in his heart unconsciously.

Xiang Qing still didn't know that her father would defeat Dingtao shortly after Yongqiu City was destroyed and leave her forever.Seeing the happiness on her face, Xiang Ye couldn't help being jealous of those people who don't know what will happen in the future.

If you don't know the future, there will still be expectations in your heart.But Xiang Ye, who already knows the future well, can hardly do anything except struggle with the established historical events.

He didn't want many people to die, including Yu Fanjun, including Li You, of course, because of Aiwujiwu, including Xiang Liang, but in these established historical events, he felt that his strength was too weak to compete with history The wheels go forward.
