Chapter 137: Retreat again and again, there is no way to retreat!
The concubine of King Kaolie of Chu, the same father and brother of Xiong Qizhi, Lord of Changping, the third most powerful person under the Queen Mother of Huayang, and Xiong Mao, Lord Changwen of the Qin Dynasty.
Fight to death!
Watching Xiong Mao fall into the enemy's formation, watching the enemy's formation create a turmoil and then suddenly calm down, Ying Zheng sighed softly: "Follow your father, and have a good journey!"
Xiong Qigeng My head felt dizzy and my hands were shaking: "Mao Di!"
The younger brother who had been following him since he was a child, and even came to Da Qin with him, died.
The only brother among the brothers that Xiong Qi could trust with his family and life, is dead!
Xiong Meng, the head of the family army station, said in a anxious voice: "Master, let me lead the charge for a while!"
"I will rescue Lord Changwen!"
Xiong Qi pressed his right hand on the female wall to support his body from falling, and said in a hoarse voice: "No!"
"The strength of our army is far inferior to that of the enemy. Every soldier and horse must be used in place, so that we can win this battle."
"Your soldiers and horses need to be retained as fresh troops, and even if you The most they can do if they go out to fight in the city is to retrieve Mao Di’s body, which is useless to the overall situation.”
Xiong Qi didn’t know whether he was explaining to Xiong Meng or himself.
He cannot lose more brothers and juniors because of a younger brother who has already been killed in the war!
Unconsciously, Xiong Qi’s right hand had already broken down the rammed earth wall!
Xiong Meng said urgently: "Not only are we retrieving Lord Chang Wen's body, there are more than 300 tribesmen who need to be rescued!"
Ying Chengyu suddenly said: "There is no need to argue, someone has already gone."< br>
Xiong Qi suddenly looked up and looked in the direction where Xiong Mao died in battle, and saw a troop of soldiers and horses entering the crossbow formation.
After a brief entanglement with Lailiu's troops, the soldiers quickly ran towards Qinian Palace in the opposite direction.
When he got closer, Xiong Qi finally saw clearly through the light of the fire. These soldiers and horses were all wearing cooked bronze armor!
Xiong Qi bowed deeply to Lu Buwei and bowed his hands: "Thank you, Prime Minister Lu, for your help!"
Lv Buwei hurriedly helped Xiong Qi up and shook his head gently: "There is no need for this."
"You and I are fighting to protect the king, and we have the same duty as brothers."
"And the truth is not certain whether the Prime Minister's men have retrieved the body of Lord Changwen."
>Xiong Qi showed a smile: "Prime Minister Lu asked people to do it, and that's enough."
Xiong Qi couldn't ask for more.
Lu Buwei's behavior at least gave him some psychological comfort.
Taking a deep breath, Xiong Qi shouted loudly: "Send the order to Xiong Han, lead his troops back to the city."
"Renewal force rotation, guard the palace gate to the death!"
......
On the other side of the battlefield, Lao Ai scolded angrily:
“I gave you three thousand soldiers and horses, and asked you to stop Lu Buwei’s three thousand soldiers and horses.”
“The enemy and we are equal in number. I didn’t ask you to destroy the enemy, but I asked you to keep them out of the battlefield.”
“What did you do?”
“You did it in just two hours. They were beaten by Lu Buwei's men and even allowed them to enter the battlefield and steal Xiong Mao's body? "
"Two hours!"
"Even if I put three thousand pigs there, they won't be able to kill them all!"
What Lao Ai was most angry about was that Xiong Mao's body was taken away. thing.
That’s Xiong Mao!
If Xiong Mao's body can be lifted up high on a pole and placed in front of the two armies, it will definitely greatly damage the morale of Ying Zheng's side!
Tang Yi, who had lost his helmet, knelt down and explained bitterly: "Shangguan, it's not that I'm in a disadvantage, it's that the enemy's troops and ours are simply incomparable!"
"Lü Buwei's men are all capable of recruiting those who are good at fighting. He must have practiced the art of war for a long time. Although he is a retainer, his combat power is better than that of elite soldiers."
"The strength of our army seems to be comparable to that of Lu Buwei's troops, but the guards and retainers cannot cooperate at all. Even the disciples can't cooperate with each other. "
"Many disciples only show their bravery and rush into the enemy's army alone, regardless of whether the people behind them can follow up. "
“The participation of those two thousand disciples in the war even affected the combat effectiveness of my troops.”
"It's not easy for me to persist for two hours!"
Tang Yi made the problem very clear.
On one side are three thousand soldiers who were transferred from rangers.
On the other side is a temporary force of one thousand ordinary soldiers and two thousand rangers who have not yet transferred to another profession.
The two thousand rangers who have not yet changed their profession are not familiar with the various weapons commonly used in the army, not to mention the military formations that cooperate with each other.
How to fight?
Unless we can disrupt the organization and fight independently, there is no way to fight!
Lao Ai kicked Tang Yi down: "My mother, how could I trust such an incompetent person like you!"
Tang Yi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart. angry.
If it were Lao Ai in the past, even if the customers made mistakes, Lao Ai would comfort them and even help them deal with their problems. She would never humiliate herself like this!
However, Lao Ai is no longer the eunuch of Nangong, but the Taiwei.
One of the three princes, the Taiwei can control their life and death!
Tang Yi could only bear the dissatisfaction in his heart, and he quickly got up and knelt down to bow his head: "It is my fault."
"Please punish me, Taiwei!"
Lao Ai said coldly: "Since it is a crime of war, you should freely fight to pay for it."
"Order, Zuo Geyi will lead his troops to attack Qinian Palace first."
Tang Yi reluctantly handed over his hand: "Wei!"
Lao Ai looked at all his subordinates again, He said in a deep voice: "My lords, the appearance of the late king and the appearance of thirty-seven kings at the same time shows how serious this matter is!"
"For the sake of the Qin Dynasty, we cannot delay even a moment."
"Before sunrise tomorrow, I want to see the deposed king kneeling before the king!"
Lai Liu looked at the palace wall and frowned slightly: "This is difficult." Lao Ai looked at Lai Liu: "Difficult means that it is possible to complete, not that it is impossible to complete!"
Lailiu frowned: "If this is the case, at least half of our troops will be lost!"
Lao Ai said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid of losses, no matter what the cost, I just want to win!"< br>
“As long as we can win this battle, what else do we want next?”
"But if this battle is defeated, everything will be lost!"
Lao Ai knew very well that the rituals he performed and the reasons he gave could not conceal the nature of his rebellion.
There are many people who are willing to earn the merit of being a supporter, but there are also many people who are willing to earn the merit of protecting King Qin.
Once the war drags on, soldiers and horses from all over the country will inevitably come to King Qin.
If Lai Ai wants to complete his grand plan, he must speed up the attack at all costs and win a quick victory!
For every quarter of an hour that Ying Zheng lives, the possibility of Lao Ai's plan failing increases!
Looking at the determination in Lao Aui's eyes, Lailao bowed his hands and saluted: "Wei!"
Lao Aui's troops changed their offensive posture again.
Before the fire was completely extinguished, the servants rushed over, extinguished the flames with sand and put up the ladder again.
All troops launched an offensive against the palace wall without fear of losses.
Further away, although the crossbow phalanx was overwhelmed by Xiong Mao, the trebuchet had been built, and huge stones were thrown towards the Qinian Palace, hitting the palace gate heavily.
As the morning light faded the next day, the gate of Qinian Palace finally collapsed!
Looking at the fallen palace gate Sun Xi was in a trance.
"Win it?"
After a night of hard fighting, Sun Xi didn't know what the battle losses of other units were, but the battle losses of his subordinates alone exceeded 30%.
If there hadn't been a huge temptation hanging in front of him, this level of death rate would have been enough for the army to collapse!
“Finally, we got it!”
Sun Xi’s eyes refocused, and he shouted excitedly: “Men of robes, enter the palace!”
“Kill the king and the ruler. , Feng Chehou!”
While shouting, Sun Xi took the lead and charged towards Qinian Palace.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!" Xiong Qi shouted: "Continue to retreat!"
As Gaomen fell, Kumen, Yingmen and other three gates also fell, leaving only the last remaining gate for everyone. A palace gate—a road gate!
Lu Buwei shouted angrily: "Our troops have no way to retreat!"
Looking back at the bedroom behind him, Xiong Qi sighed softly: "What Prime Minister Lu said is true."< br>
Raising his eyes, Xiong Qi looked around him.
Last night, there were more than 5,000 clan members, guests and servants here, but now there are only more than 1,700 people left.
More than half of the men have been killed!
If not everyone knew that Lao Ai would not let them go even if they surrendered, I am afraid they would have surrendered by now!
Although Lu Buwei's troops have not yet entered Qinian Palace, Xiong Qi knows that the situation of Lu Buwei's troops is definitely not good.
Being in a field battle outside the city, they will only face a more tragic situation than Xiong Qi's troops!
Lu Buwei drew out his long sword, mounted his horse, and said in a deep voice: "I am deeply honored to be able to share the same robe with Lord Chang Wen."
Xiong Qi also took a long spear from his servant and whispered Sigh: "I am worried."
"Even if the king takes action now, do we still have a chance of winning?"
Xiong Qi and Lu Buwei both know what Ying Zheng wants. Why.
Ying Zheng used his life to force Lu Buwei and Xiong Qi to fight in a bloody battle with Lao Ai.
Even though both Xiong Qi and Lu Buwei knew that Ying Zheng was trying to weaken their power, they had to sacrifice all their wealth in order to keep Ying Zheng alive.
But until now, their wealth has been almost wiped out!
If the king doesn’t take action, maybe everyone will die here!
Outside the dormitory, Ying Zheng looked at the battle ahead with his hands behind his back.
When Xiong Qi and Lu Buwei put on their armor and went into the enemy army in person, Ying Zheng suddenly said: "Brother, I thought you would open your mouth and persuade me to take action as soon as possible."
Ying Chengyu shook his head: "I don't understand your plans and checks and balances."
"In this case, it's better to be dumb and deaf!"
Ying Chengyu is indeed I feel sorry for Lu Buwei and Xiong Qi, and even more sorry for Xiong Mao.
But Ying Chengyu understood that only in this way could Ying Zheng control the court after taking office.
All of Ying Zheng’s future actions will be based on this move!
If Ying Zheng does not act cruelly today, then in the future Great Qin will probably become the next South Korea, obsessed with internal fighting and unable to conquer the outside world at all, let alone unify the world!
Ying Zheng sighed softly: "Are you feeling bad?"
Ying Chengyu did not answer, but looked away slightly.
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Where are the gentlemen!"
The doors to the sleeping quarters on the left and right opened.
A total of 1,500 men and women of all levels, including Meng Tian, Li Si, and other ministers, ministers, and Yilang, walked out quickly, raised their hands in front of Ying Zheng and shouted: "I am here!"
Ying Zheng spoke again: "Where are the eunuchs and eunuchs!"
The door to the main bedroom opened, and three thousand eunuchs and eunuchs ran out quickly: "I am here!"
Ying Zheng shouted in a deep voice: "Pass the king Order!”
“Let Lord Chang’an be the commander-in-chief, and all the officials, eunuchs and eunuchs in Beigong will obey the orders of Lord Chang’an!”
Meng Tian and others turned to Ying Chengyu and handed over their hands again: "Greetings to the general!"
Ying Chengyu was startled for a moment, then smiled.
Getting on his horse, holding a halberd in his hand, Ying Chengyu bowed slightly towards Ying Zheng:
"My brother, I will never disgrace my life!"
