"Let me see what else you have to say!" Wu Zui's horse held the furious Xiang Yu in a circle. Xiang Yu pointed his iron halberd at the top of the city and shouted.

"I have indeed destroyed Linjiang, Wei, Henan and Yin, but what does this have to do with you, Overlord? If I send an army to invade Western Chu, Overlord can certainly say that I am despicable, betrayal of justice and kindness, and seek revenge.

.However, I didn’t seize half of the overlord’s village land, so how can we start talking about repaying kindness with enmity!”

Xiang Yu said angrily: "You are still making excuses. The general trend of the world has been drawn up. The Righteous Emperor has divided fifteen countries. All countries are equal and should not invade each other. Why do you raise troops to invade the country? This is treason."

Wang Zhu said, "Overlord, you are mistaken. It was Gong Ao, the king of Linjiang, who went to attack Bashu in the first place. We only eliminated him out of self-defense. Gong Ao brought about his own destruction and no one else is special!"

"Let's not mention the matter of Gong Ao for now. I would like to ask you, what happened to the other three kings?"

Wang Zhu confidently shouted: "I annihilated the three kings because Emperor Yi was killed, the world was in chaos, and the land could be divided again. This is all caused by you, the overlord. Emperor Yi is dead. What kind of rebellion did I create? The real crime

It is you, Xiang Yu, who rebelled. I will call on the world today to avenge the Righteous Emperor. Xiang Yu, you killed the Righteous Emperor for disloyalty; you massacred the people of Xiangcheng for unkindness; you destroyed General Zhaoping's entire family for unrighteousness; you betrayed your uncle Xiang.

Liang is being unfilial! How can an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust beast like you be here to accuse me!"

"You are talking nonsense. I have betrayed my uncle before. You are farting!" Xiang Yu was confused. Xiang Liang was killed by Zhang Han. Xiang Yu couldn't think of anything to do with him!

"I'm not talking nonsense, I have evidence! Where is Zhang Han!"

"The general will obey the order!" In order to cooperate with Wang Zhu's acting, Zhang Han has not yet gone to defend the city.

"Commanders of the Chu army, in the next Zhang Han's hand is an autographed letter written by Xiang Yu!" He raised a piece of bamboo slip high. Of course, the Chu army under the city could not see it, but Zhang Han still talked eloquently: "

The letter detailed the specific location and distribution map of Xiang Liang's army camps. Xiang Yu said that he was willing to surrender to the Qin Dynasty and contribute to the country. Humph, now it seems that this is just to use my hands to get rid of his uncle and become the leader of the country.

Lord! But then again, without the information provided by Xiang Yu, I would not have been able to completely wipe out Xiang Liang's army outside Dingtao City back then. Thank you so much, King Chu Overlord, Zhang Han!"

Zhang Han recited this passage dozens of times in advance. The lie was more truthful than the truth, and a commotion immediately arose among the Chu army.

A volcano erupted above Xiang Yu's head, sparks flew everywhere, and the veins on his forehead stood out: "Zhang Han, you ungrateful bitch, if I hadn't spared your life in such a generous way, would you have survived to this day? You actually did the opposite.

Come here and bite me, you are talking nonsense, I have never written a letter to you!"

Wang Zhu said: "Did you bring a message?"

"Message!" Xiang Yu was stunned again.

"What's the message? Do you want Zhang Han to kill Xiang Liang for you?"

Zhang Han said quickly, "Yes, the Overlord did have someone bring me a message. That person's name is Song Yi. If you don't believe me, call Song Yi out and ask!"

Everyone on earth knows that Song Yi has already raised his hair!

"Song Yi has been killed by this overlord. You two despicable people are obviously talking nonsense!"

Wang Zhu raised his thumb: "High, it's really high. It turns out that the overlord has killed Song Yi to silence him. It's so powerful, so cruel, a pure man!" Zhang Han and Wang Zhu looked at each other and sighed; "That's right, at the end of the day

I will forget that Song Yi died a long time ago, and now there is no evidence of his death!"

The calm-minded Zhong Limei saw Wang Zhu and Zhang Han's tricks and shouted behind Xiang Yu: "Overlord, they want to delay time and disturb the morale of the army. Don't talk nonsense to them and order the siege!"

Zhong Limei's words were like enlightenment. Xiang Yu, who was like a mad tiger, suddenly came to his senses, turned his horse's head and returned to the formation: "Beat the drum, attack the city, attack the city!"

Zhong Limei and Long Qie commanded the two armies on the left and right, advancing towards the city walls on both sides. Ji Bu, Yu Ziqi, and Huan Chu each took 30,000 troops and went to the three gates of the southwest and north to besiege the city. The siege was about to begin.

"Qiang!" Wang Zhu on the top of the city drew his sword: "Whoever takes one step beyond the thunder pool will die! The crossbowmen are ready to annihilate the violent Chu and protect the country!"

"Annihilate Baochu! Annihilate Baochu!" The Qin army on top of the city raised their arms and shouted. Wang Zhu will put this 'Baochu' on Xiang Yu's head tonight. He has worn the hat of Baoqin long enough, so he should

Transferred.

Arrows rained down from the city head, and most of them fell into the moat. Behind the crenellations, the Qin army's arrows took advantage of their condescending advantage and fell directly on the Chu army's heads. The archers arrayed in front raised their shields high.

He raised his head above his head, covered his body and continued forward, and shot an arrow coldly, posing little threat to the city. The morale of the Chu army was a little low, probably because of Wang Zhu's deception just now.

Xiang Yu was probably furious or wanted to save his energy to wait for Wang Zhu to come out for a duel, but he immediately used torches, horns, drums, and flags to direct the overall attack and retreat of the Chinese army. Under the light of the torches inside and outside the city, Zhongli

Zhong Limei and Long Qie took the lead and charged forward to boost their morale. Comparing the two of them, Long Qie was more desperate than Zhong Limei. He held the iron gun and howled like a crazy wolf dog while running forward. Long Qie just lost it.

Face, holding back his anger, he was eager to kill Qin Aiao who shot Lengjian to save face. The reason why the Chu army was brave and fearless was inseparable from the fact that the generals under Xiang Yu took the lead. In addition to Zhong Limei and Long Qie, Bayuzan

, Xiong Tian, ​​Xiong Wu, Wu Jufang, Xiang Sheng, Xiang Zhuang and other Xiang family generals also charged forward.

Wang Zhu quickly received the report. As expected, Xiang Yu's attack on the other three gates was just a small-scale feint attack, with the purpose of containing the defenders. The real main force was all on the east gate.

Amidst the sound of war drums, Cao Jiu and Zhou Yin led a group of cavalry to protect hundreds of trench-filling vehicles. They rumbled out of the sea of ​​military formations and rushed straight to the middle of the city, aiming directly at the city gate.

The Chu army cavalry, holding small and lightweight rattan shields, lined up in three rows, about 6,000 people, faced the rain of arrows to protect the trench-filling vehicles and tens of thousands of engineering soldiers and moved forward slowly, with the purpose of filling in the trench that was not very small in the first place.

wide moat, and then directly send the crash car to attack the city gate.

After the capture of Suiyang, because time was too short, Wang Zhu placed his hope on the "Hang Tian Lei", so no trenches were dug outside the city. After the "Hang Tian Lei" plan failed, it was already too late to dig trenches. Who could

He didn't expect that Xiang Manzi would attack the city overnight! Fan Zeng saw an opportunity in the rear team and directly paid attention to the city gate. After reporting to Xiang Yu, he sent Cao Jiu and Zhou Yin's reserve team to fill in the river.

"Ha! This means filling in the moat! Your Majesty, Xiang Yu is working hard!" Wang Ling said in horror.

Wang Zhu sneered and said, "It's not Xiang Yu who works hard, it's Xiang Yu who asks his brothers to work hard. He wants to fill up the river in front of him with his men's corpses! Barbarian, what a barbarian!" Wang Zhu gritted his teeth at the last sentence.

Said harshly.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Wang Ling looked at the Chu army that was pressing forward in darkness from all directions and couldn't help but panic! Wang Zhu peeled off a few arrows that were shot at him, pointed his knife at the city, and said sternly: "Qin She

, select five thousand accurate crossbowmen to rush to the enemy tower on the city gate, each carrying fifty arrows, and shoot hard at the Chu army who is preparing to fill the river! Within one stick of incense, they must

Shoot all the fifty arrows, and those who cannot be shot will be dealt with according to military law, and you will not be able to shoot them with all your strength!"

"General, I obey!" Qin She was injured, and a bloody groove was swept out of his left face by an arrow. Blood flowed outwards, and half of his armor was dyed red.

On the wide bluestone horse road, in addition to mountains of rolling stones and wood, there was also a reserve team of 5,000 archers and crossbowmen fully equipped for combat. Qin She stepped over and announced Wang Zhu's order. Five thousand warriors came striding forward, but they had not yet charged into the enemy.

In the building, twenty or thirty people have been killed by arrows, which shows how dense the arrows from the confrontation between the two sides are!

"Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows! One stick of incense can shoot more than fifty arrows, and I can't kill them with all my strength!" Qin She swung his sword and stabbed the city wall, clanging continuously, sparks flying everywhere. Five thousand crossbowmen faced their lives.

The arrows disappeared quickly. Listening to the unquestionable order given by Qin She, he mechanically stretched the bow string and fired arrows continuously. The number of arrows in the quiver was reduced one by one. Cao Jiu and Zhou Yin's cavalry were under the city one after another.

Keep falling down.

Although the archers of the Qin Army lost their accuracy in the dim light, and their original accuracy was even more misdirected, they could still shoot fifty arrows in one stick of incense, and the total of five thousand arrows was 250,000.

The dense network of death arrows filling the sky and the earth whistled towards each other, like a blizzard swept by the wind. In an instant, the shining withered arrows covered all the space in front of the charging cavalry. Short and continuous screams of people and horses could be heard.

Some shields could not withstand the blow and were torn apart by hundreds of arrows, turning people and horses into honeycombs; some shields could not protect the lower plate, and their legs turned into snow-white in the blink of an eye.

Hedgehog. Even if the soldiers each have the skills of "Qiao Feng and Duan Yu", they will be shot into sieves. To put it ten thousand steps back, even if the Chu army has the ability of Huashan swordsmanship, the war horses cannot all be "small".

"White Dragon", so all the Chu troops rushing in front were killed, and nearly 4,000 men and horses in the two rows survived.

If Cao Jiu and Zhou Yin had not huddled in the third row of cavalry and commanded, they would have been pierced by thousands of arrows and both men and horses would have been killed. "Retreat, retreat quickly—" Cao Jiu and Zhou Yin's expressions changed greatly, and they commanded the remaining cavalrymen.

The cavalry and fortification troops retreated back, several times faster than the charge. The attacks on both sides were still in progress. Every inch the Chu army advanced had to pay the price of several lives. The battle was very difficult. At the top of the city

There were also many Qin soldiers who made mistakes.

Cao Jiu and Zhou Yin fled back to the central army. Xiang Yu opened his eyes and drew his sword to kill him. Fortunately, Xiang Liang was interceding on the side. Xiang Yu looked at the two people who were ashamed and trembling and shouted: "Go back and kill them before dawn."

Once the moat is filled up, I will spare you. If you can't do it, don't come back to see me until you die, otherwise I will destroy your nine tribes and kill your whole family!"

Cao Jiu and Zhou Yin were sweating and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Overlord, you will succeed if you don't succeed, and you will never let down the Overlord's trust." Xiang Yu said angrily as he looked at Zhong Limei and Long Qie's slow-moving army that was suppressed by the rain of arrows.

; "I'll give you four thousand more cavalry, and you'll only be allowed to win, not lose. Go ahead!"

When Cao Jiu and Zhou Yin led the team to press forward for the second time, they had already made up their minds to complete this mission no matter what. Xiang Yu was a man of his word. He said that if you destroy the nine tribes, there will never be any left.

Your second aunt's son-in-law's brother-in-law! Even if he dies in battle, he must not involve the nine tribes in being killed!

Cao Jiu is also a red-faced and bloody man. Xiang Yu's words have already made his blood boil. "Life is only thirty years, so why die! I am afraid of death and will not join the Chu army. Old Zhou, you are the queen."

, I will go and charge for a while, but I don’t believe that the Qin army’s bows and arrows can’t be fired. If I die and you come again, you can’t say anything to make the overlord look down on you. I, Cao Jiu, will never be a coward until my death."

Zhou Yin was more cunning than him. He neither wanted to die nor to be exterminated. Cao Jiu's words were perfect for both. Zhou Yinhao said angrily, "Old Cao, don't worry. If you can't do it, you still have me."

You and I can definitely fill up the moat by working together, but I don’t believe it!” In fact, I was praying to God in my heart that even if you let Cao Jiu die, it would be best to fill in the moat before dying! I don’t want to follow in his footsteps!

Cao Jiu shouted: "Brothers, charge with me!" Cao Jiu took the lead and rushed out. The three thousand cavalry behind him chased his horse tail towards the moat at the same speed. Ten thousand fortification soldiers pushed the trench-filling truck.

The muffled thunder moved forward and pressed forward. Although Cao Jiu was enthusiastic and did not care about life and death, he underestimated the Qin army's defense. It was actually so easy to break through the middle of the city gate. This time the arrow rain on the city head was obviously weaker than before. Just like

Cao Jiu analyzed, "I don't believe that the Qin army can't run out of arrows." Wang Zhu really didn't dare to do the trick of "shooting fifty arrows empty with one stick of incense" again. However, although it was not as dense as before,

But what was shot from the top of the city can still be called a 'rain of arrows'.

Cao Jiu charged quickly, and the horse's hoof suddenly stumbled. The horse staggered and almost fell, but managed to escape. Cao Jiu was just congratulating himself when he suddenly heard a clicking sound like a machine being wound up.

There was a sudden burst of dust on the khaki ground, and from the sound below, three fine iron chains rose from the ground, falling straight across the moat.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" There was a burst of explosions, followed by screams. Thousands of galloping cavalry were tripped by iron chains, their horses leaned forward, and the knights were thrown out, and some were thrown directly in.

Some of them hit the ground inside the moat. The ground beside the moat collapsed like dominoes, and rumbling sounds were heard one after another.

The soldier fell down, and blood came out and splashed for several feet!

Cao Jiu also fell down. At the most critical moment, he held up his body with the iron gun in his hand. He grabbed the stumbling rope, dropped the iron gun with his right hand, grabbed the stumbling rope with both arms, and jumped out of the tunnel. It was this fall and a jump.

All they could see were the blood-red corpses of brothers impaled by the sharp bamboos at the bottom of the pit!
Chapter completed!
