"Report~~Mr. Xiang Gong, the big thing is not good. The Qin army has captured Wushang and Taimo counties. The seventh master died and the son was killed and injured..."

Just as Tu Sui attacked Wushang and Taimo, a rebel led by Zhong Limei had already occupied Poyang County. While drinking and laughing with his subordinates here, a messenger came to report with a pale face.

"Bang~" Xiang Liang's wine glass fell, then stood up and strode to the lobby of the county government, grabbed the messenger's beard and shouted angry, "How could it be so fast? Who is Qin General?"

The sudden bad news shocked everyone. The lively banquet was silent in an instant and only the trembling sound of shaking teeth was heard.

"I saw a word slaughter on the big banner at the top of the city, and I didn't know who will be?" the messenger said stammeringly.

"Don't guess with the surname Tu, it must be Xiongshan Hou Tu Sui. There is no doubt that there is only one general named Tu in the court of civil and military officials!" A white Confucian scholar said with his fingers trembling as he stroked his beard.

"What Liu County Magistrate said is that this person must be Tu Sui. Now that Wushang and Taimo have been lost, we must find a way to seize it as soon as possible, otherwise we may have many dreams. By the way, how many people Tu Sui has brought?" Zhong Limei stood up and asked.

"About five or six thousand, all of them were covered with armor, and the bows and crossbows were sharp. We couldn't hold on for a long time. After three hours of guarding, we still couldn't resist. The third master had retreated to Yujiang..."

"Hmph, useless, Tu Sui only brought six thousand men and wanted to destroy our Xiang family. It was too arrogant. Unfortunately, his seventh brother died. Brother Zhongli was guarding Poyang. I personally went to recapture the two counties of Taimo and Wushang!"

Xiang Liang was furious and threw the messenger away and strode outside the county government.

"Brother, don't be anxious. Tu Sui is leading the Qin army to come. The two cities in a row must be in full swing. Don't fight hard. Taimo is more than 500 miles away from Yujiang County. In a few days, he will inevitably attack Yujiang. Why don't we wait for it and set up an ambush to wait for it to be arrested!" A Xiang clan member stood up, and Xiang, who was the fourth in the Xiang clan branch.

"Mr. Xiang, his brother said it right. Tu Sui's army is in full swing and cannot be defeated. Besides, his subordinates have no experience in confronting the Qin army. Sending troops rashly may backfire. Since we know Tu Sui's strength, we can set up an ambush around Yujiang, and wait for it to be defeated!" Long Qi stood up and persuaded.

"Mr. Xiang, you can't fight hard, setting up an ambush is the best way!" Some other generals stood up to support Xiang He and Long Qi.

Xiang Liang's face was as silent as Han Bing for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded.

Time flies seven days, and Xiang Liang dispatched troops and generals to set up ambush around Yujiang County, personally stationed the front of Yujiang City to meet the enemy. After three days of captives, Tu Sui also led a large army to marches slowly towards Yujiang. After interrogating prisoners and inquiries for several days, Tu Sui already knew that Xiang Liang's rebels had tens of thousands of people at present, and occupied Yujiang and Luling. They might occupy Poyang again recently. Although he defeated the rebels twice and killed nearly two thousand people, the rebels did not hurt their vitality. However, as long as he took Yujiang again, he could echo the defenders of Dayuling. The Xiang rebels could only be forced to go along Poyang County to Jiujiang, and then they would completely drive the Xiang family to the edge of the river. At that time, the Xiang family would be desperate.

However, Tu Sui was right, but he underestimated the Xiang family's heritage too much. Xiang family was born in a military general family and was an old Chu nobleman. In the family, they all read and practiced dance and were proficient in military tactics. They were a genuine old aristocratic family. They were not a civilian marquis like Tu Sui who climbed up step by step from ordinary military tactics. In addition to Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo, Xiang family also had two powerful figures who were proficient in strategy and military tactics. Even other relatives in the clan were not ordinary knights and idle men. It was precisely because the Xiang family's relatives were numerous and had a deep foundation that the Xiang family's rebellion was able to grow so smoothly and become a force that stirred up the southern counties.

Moreover, the Xiang family not only has its own relatives, but also a hero like Long Qi and Zhonglimei who defected, which is also the reason why Chen Xu was worried that Tu Sui, a reckless man, could not handle Xiang family.

Looking at the Tu Sui army who were coming in a tightly packed with black dragon flags and long spears, Xiang Liang and other groups of rebel leaders standing at the top of the city also felt numb. The Qin army was indeed invincible. Compared with the Qin army, the rebels were really a group of mobs. Looking at the pale-faced men standing at the top of the city, Xiang Liang couldn't help but pull his face violently for a few times. In contrast, even these subordinates were a little disgusted by him.

Tu Sui's army set foot fifty feet away from the city, and then the army dispersed on both sides.

"Bow~~" With Tu Sui's roar, a large flag with the bow written on it raised, more than a thousand archers lined behind the shield array pulled out the giant bow.

"Shoot~~" The moment the flag fell, more than a thousand sharp arrows tore the cold wind of early winter shot on the wall. The rebels naturally prepared a large number of simple wooden shields to stand on the city wall. The large number of arrows naturally did useless work, but some of the rebels who were hiding behind were still screaming and screaming, and the city wall was already panicked under a round of arrows.

Tu Sui was too lazy to say anything about the Xiang rebels, so he only made a simple array and began to suppress them with bows and arrows. In this era of cold weapons, the most convenient way to attack the city was bows and arrows. If there were tens of thousands of archers, Tu Sui believed that he could take down this seemingly heavily defended city at most half an hour. However, because the Xiang rebellion happened suddenly, and there were only more than 2,000 people at that time, he did not expect that after arriving and reaching, he found that the strength was a bit outrageous. However, no matter what, the rebels could not compare with the Qin army in terms of training or equipment. Although these six thousand soldiers were not the most powerful soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, they were also the soldiers who had wiped out the six countries. Advance and retreat were subject to orders, which was far from comparable to this group of mobs.

When the Qin army attacked, some archers on the city wall began to fight back, but they were as sparse as the previous two times. Even many of the archers made in a hurry were not far away, and most of them fell on the open space between the two armies. What's more, some rebels also fell from the city when they were shooting their own archery, which made many Qin soldiers laugh.

Even Tu Sui relaxed his mind and started chatting and laughing with several commanders.

Two cities were set aside in just ten days. In Tu Sui's eyes, these rebels who shocked the southeastern counties were just a joke. This time, they would definitely make another military contribution. Maybe they would have a chance to ascend to the top of the Marquis of Che. In the future, they would be able to sit in the same seat as Wang Ben and Meng Tian in the court and enjoy the honor.

After several rounds of bows and arrows, the city was already becoming more and more panicked. The wooden shields in many places were tilted on a large scale and even fell to the city. Some of the rebels even began to resist under the suppression and beating of the bandit leader.

"The shield hand is in front, approaching thirty feet, and the crossbow is suppressing it, ready to hit the wood..."

Looking at the chaos of the bandits on the city wall, it seemed that the rebels' morale had been shaken after losing two cities in a row, and chaos began to occur in a short period of time. Therefore, Tu Sui directly ordered the army to press forward to prepare to break the city.

Half an hour later, hundreds of corpses had fallen under the city under the fierce attack of the Qin army. The counterattack on the city became more and more powerless and panicked. Even a group of rebel bandits who had been standing on the floor began to run back and forth in panic. Under the fierce suppression of the crossbow, the knocking wood successfully arrived at the city gate and began to hit. Amid the continuous impact, terrifying shouts and sounds of running around came from the city one after another.

"Boom~~"

After dozens of impacts, the thick wooden door collapsed.

"Kill~~ Those who capture the bandit's leader Xiang Liang alive will be rewarded with a level five!" Tu Sui waved his long sword forward, and the Qin army rushed towards the city gate like a black tide.

"Kill~"

Just as Tu Sui's army halfway entered the city, suddenly thousands of rebels rushed out in a valley southeast of Yujiang City. The leader was Long Qi.

The sudden ambush made the Qin army start to panic. The soldiers who were apprehended could only turn around in a hurry to resist Long Qi's rebels. After a series of arrows, the two sides stood together. The Qin army was immediately trapped in a situation of attacking from front and back. Because when the Qin army rushed into the city, they found that there were not many civilians on the streets that should have been panicked. Instead, a large number of rebels rushed out from the houses and alleys on both sides. The Qin army could only fight with the bandits on the narrow streets and gradually dispersed.

"Report~ General, a rebel army appeared outside the city, attacking the rear positions of our army!" Tu Sui, who was fighting with the rebels, suddenly received bad news.

"General, the last general suggested evacuating the city quickly. If our army is intercepted into two units, the head and tail will not be able to look after each other!" A captain yelled.

"Retreat~" Tu Sui also knew that he might have fallen into a trap, so he yelled and led the Qin army to turn around and kill towards the city gate. The back and forth, the Qin army suddenly became even more chaotic, and thousands of Qin troops were crowded in a mess at the narrow city gate.

"Tu Sui, I can't come back today, this is your death place!"

Just as Tu Sui rushed out of the city gate and was about to stabilize his position against the rebels behind him, a loud roar suddenly came from the floor.

Tu Sui turned around and saw a huge bow in his hand with a burly and handsome man with a burly face.

"Bang~~"

As the bowstring sounded, black arrows as thick as thumbs were tearing the air and heading straight for Tu Sui.

"Be careful, General!" Amid the screams of countless Qin troops and guards, Tu Sui screamed and turned over and rolled down from his horse.

"Haha, Tu Sui is dead, kill~~"

Accompanied by a pleasant laugh on the top of the city, a few sounds of ox horns sounded on the top of the city, and thousands of rebels lying in the city shouted and rushed out, scattering the Qin army that was still blocked by the city gate and could not retreat. At the same time, dense arrows on the top of the city also fell down like rain at the Qin army below.

"Protect the General, retreat quickly!" A group of guards shouted at the same time, rescued Tu Sui who was dismissed and retreated in a hurry to the Taimo direction. However, under the attack of two rebels, the formation was completely chaotic after losing Tu Sui's command. Several commanders fought on their own, and the entire Yujiang City was mixed together within a radius of several miles. The Qin army and the rebels were completely strangled together, and they could not even retreat smoothly.

After a fierce battle, the Qin army finally began to slowly get closer and gather together, leaving more than a thousand corpses behind and then began to gather together to retreat. The two rebels followed and attacked continuously. The Qin army could only retreat in a hurry, abandoning a large amount of supplies, food and grass, and the people who transported food and grass with the army also fled in scattered areas, and the scene was in a mess.

After escaping for five miles, when the Qin army, under the organization of several commanders, just began to gather the remaining soldiers, suddenly another rebel army came out of the woods on the side. As a result, the Qin army was completely panicked. Faced with the interception of the Sangu Rebels, the Qin army quickly collapsed. After a more chaotic fight, the Qin army left hundreds of corpses again and ran towards Taimo. The Sangu Rebels followed closely and continued to chase after them. The Qin army scattered, leaving only more than 2,000 Tu Sui, who was wrapped in poisoned arrows, escaped.

The rebels then fiercely concealed the killing and chased them reluctantly.

Two days later, the Qin army retreated into Taimo County, but at this time there were only less than a thousand men left in the Qin army, and almost everyone was exhausted with injuries.
