"Rare Old Qin, let me regain my world--!"

"Big wind! The wind blows and the clouds fly, the clouds fly—!"

From morning to near noon, the fierce battle between the Qin and Han armies around the city walls of Xicheng was becoming increasingly fierce. Gan Yong fought with one spurt to kill the city. Under the siege of three or four new Han soldiers, they leaned against the wall and did not retreat. In just a short while, another Qin army soldier emerged on the ladder.

Under the role of Gan Yong's team as the first-level dead soldiers, the morale of the Qin army attacking troops rose sharply. The Qin army on the other ladders all rushed to climb, and they rushed to climb without hesitation.

The Han army was caught off guard.

Although there were a large number of 7,000 Han soldiers, they were chaotic troops retreating from many cities in Hanzhong County and Ba County. Many soldiers were urgently pulled to the front line before they could recognize their own generals and school leaders.

"Quickly, I'll report to the King of Han and order the Hou Teng to lead the reserve troops to support the city." Cao Shen urged repeatedly.

This time, the Han army's city walls were deployed to first let new soldiers defend the city, and elite troops serve as reserves. This could effectively prevent the loss of few elite troops from the Han army from the Qin army in the first few rounds of attacks, thereby achieving the strategic purpose of "preserving strength and long-term stability".

However, after only half a day, Cao Shen discovered that the situation was not good. The Qin army did not even have a tentative attack and suddenly turned into a strong attack. The dead soldiers who climbed the city wall were completely the fierce soldiers in the Qin army. Faced with such a powerful enemy, the Han army fell into panic.

Just when Cao Shen was anxious on the city tower, Liu Bang's confidant general, Tenghou Xiahou Ying, led a team of Han King soldiers to the top of the city. Xiahou Ying looked at the battle situation for a moment and discovered that Gan Yong's situation was the most urgent.

"Hanwei, follow me to kill the thief!" Xiahou Ying shouted loudly, holding a big halberd and heading towards Gan Yong.

In just a moment, five or six Qin soldiers gathered around Gan Yong. They formed a small team with Gan Yong as the center and were fighting the scattered Han army in the form of collective combat. And they were expanding their territory bit by bit. At Gan Yong's feet, the bodies of the two Han army marquis were all witnesses of his efforts.

"Qin thief, let's die!" Xiahou Ying's tall body approached the battlements, and the halberd stabbed Gan Yong like a horse.

"Horse Gan Jun, be careful." A Qin soldier called out and walked forward with his sword to try to block Xiahou Ying's approaching.

"puff!"

The tip of the halberd cut through the thin armor. Blood beads splashed, Xiahou Ying raised his foot and kicked the heartbroken Qin Zhu to the city with disdain.

"kill!"

Gan Yong shouted angrily, swung the heavy sword, and took the important part of Xiahou Ying's throat. The halberd sword intersected with a "clang" sound, making a harsh and crisp sound of gold and iron clashing.

In terms of strength, Gan Yong, who had just turned 17, was obviously weaker than Xiahou Ying. After the big sword collided, it was bounced high, leaving Gan Yong's front door wide open.

"Go to die!" Xiahou Ying grinned and stabbed quickly.

"Swoosh!"

A sharp arrow came quickly, and Xiahou Ying swept across the corner of his eyes. He saw a meteor, and the triangular arrow became bigger and bigger in his eyes, getting closer and closer.

Xiahou Ying was both depressed and did not care about entanglement with Gan Yong anymore. Her knees softened and she knelt on the ground. When she fell to the ground, Xiahou Ying felt her scalp numbness. The arrows passed by the ends of his hair. Then, before the arrows disappeared, they flew several meters away, and then they firmly nailed to the wooden pillars of the city tower.

——.

Under the city.

Li Zhongxiang sighed lightly. The arrow just now was his accumulating strength. As soon as Xiahou Ying's tall body appeared, Li Zhongxiang targeted the Han general and shot the enemy general with one arrow. Such a credit actually ran away. Li Zhongxiang couldn't help but be curious about the identity of the escaped Han general. He was able to take the lead when danger came. This feeling must be obtained after countless life and death tests and countless battles on the battlefield.

The Han Wei led by Xiahou Ying were all elite soldiers and generals who protected Han King Liu Bang. Their joining made the Han soldiers who were originally like a scattered sand become orderly. The main thing was that the big red flag with the character "Han" brought by Xiahou Ying was inserted to the highest point of the city tower. The flag was rushing, which made the Han army excited.

"King of Han, King of Han---!"

"Kill the thief, kill the thief!"

Liu Bang was lenient to his soldiers and had great expectations in the army. Although he did not personally reach the city wall at this time, his big banner was erected on the top of the city, as if he was in person.

The momentum is unforgettable.

In just a moment, more than half of the six Qin soldiers were killed or injured by Gan Yong's side.

Faced with more and more Han soldiers, Gan Yong had to retreat!

The Qin army's first wave of offensive was repelled, which made Cao Shen and Xiahou Ying breathe a sigh of relief. Although Xicheng was guarding the key to Hanzhong, the city wall was not strong. For the defensive side, the too wide frontal city wall also caused many problems to defend the city. Although the Qin army was repelled this time, the next time, Cao Shen didn't know how long he could last with the group of miscellaneous soldiers in his hands.

"Horse Teng, has the King of Han left?" Cao Shen asked in a low voice.

Xiahou Ying was Liu Bang's driver and the person Liu Bang trusted the most. This time, Liu Bang was in charge of Xicheng while sick, which made Cao Shen feel tremendous pressure. If the Qin army really broke through the city, Liu Bang had no way out even if he wanted to escape.

Xiahou Ying nodded silently and said, "Return to Pingyang Hou, this morning, Guan Ying brought a team of Han guards to protect the city that the Han king had left. At this time, we should be on the way to Wuguan. We must keep the secret, otherwise, if the army is in turmoil, the western city will be in danger."

Liu Bang left Xicheng at the last moment. Before, he vowed to live and die with the city in front of all the soldiers of the army. For the seven thousand Han troops who were struggling to stand firm in the city, it was a huge panic. Xiahou Ying only answered truthfully when he saw that it was Cao Shen's question. If someone else was replaced, he would not tell the truth.

In the ordinary Han army generals, the Han King's central army was on the city tower, and the powerful general Xiahou Ying was among the generals guarding the city, and even a group of Han guards were there. In addition, Liu Bang appeared with a sick body not long ago, so it was extremely difficult for the Han soldiers to not believe that Liu Bang was not in the city.

Cao Shen was silent for a long time and sighed, "Horse Teng, this time, you and my brothers are afraid that they will not be able to get through. In the blink of an eye, Akuai's sacrifice day is coming soon."

Fan Kuai was killed in the second year of Qin II. During the repeated battles, time passed quickly. Somehow, at this time, Fan Kuai's figure emerged in Cao Shen's heart.

After half a day of continuous attack, the Qin army slowed down the pace of the attack. Han Xin was quite satisfied with the results of the first round of attacks. It was unrealistic to expect to take down the enemy city in a difficult battle like siege. In the next attack, what the Qin army needed the most was not to attack like barbarians, but to find the weak points of the defenders through tentative attacks again and again, and then implement key breakthroughs.

Under the command of the general and the school, the Han army, who had a chance to breathe, stepped up time to supplement the various consumptions on the city. On the city tower, Cao Shen and Xiahou Ying were speechless.

They have experienced the power of the Qin army commander Li Yuan several times. In addition to being able to compete with the huge disparity in military strength when they were in Xingyang, the subsequent battle in Hanzhong was a completely one-sided ending. This time, Qin was strong and Han was weak. No matter how hard it worked, the Han army was insufficient and the weakness of the soldiers' weak combat power would be exposed faster and faster.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

In the afternoon, the war drums resounded throughout the Xicheng again. After a brief rest, the Qin army began the second round of attack. This time, Han Xin divided the siege troops into three batches, each batch attacking for one hour. If it was still impossible to get off, a group of Qin troops would come up. This wheel tactic immediately made the Han army defending the city miserable.

The Qin army was strong and strong, and they were attacking the side and took the initiative in the battlefield. Therefore, Han Xin could divide his troops into layers, but Cao Shen did not dare to divide his troops into the same division.

The weak Han army was already timid. If there were fewer people guarding the city, the new soldiers and young men would immediately turn around and flee. Even if there was a supervising team, they would not be able to stop a large-scale deserter.

Without any help, Cao Shen might have gritted his teeth and held on. After a whole afternoon of fierce battle, not only Xiahou Ying's reserve team made all the submissions, but even Cao Shen himself personally went to the battlefield many times.

Finally, the sun gradually sets. Under the reflection of the setting sun, the broken flags, the fallen soldiers, and the burnt broken woods formed a magnificent war scene.

Cao Shen stood on the city tower with a pale face. The fighting just now made his robe stained with blood. He began to feel deeply regretful. In the past half day, Cao Shen had almost instinctively directed his soldiers, but after a day of defending the city, the defenders of the West City had obviously reached the end of their lives.

Most of the fuel in the rolling wood on the city had been used up, and even the houses in the city were demolished. Seven thousand Han soldiers suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the remaining five thousand soldiers were all frightened. Although Cao Shen's estimate, the Qin army that siege the city would never pay less than him, Cao Shen could not afford this war of attrition.

Perhaps, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when the city was broken, Cao Shen knew it. Just as the Qin army attack just now, the young and brave, who had already helped defend the city, had completely collapsed. He shouted that he was willing to surrender and wanted to open the city gate from inside, but Cao Shen ordered the supervising team to shoot them all.

The fighting spirit of the military and civilians in the city was almost collapsed. At first, they believed that the military and civilians in the city, and gradually began to doubt. When they were sacrificing their lives and fighting to the death, where was the King of Han? Even if they were sick, they should come out to the top of the city to boost morale, instead of using a big banner as a guise and let everyone work hard for it.
