Chapter 252: How did you all know that Brother Wang had defeated Shouchun?
Six days later.
There are no more new rocks falling on the pile of rocks in the east of Shouchun City.
But the mountain of corpses and sea of blood outside Xinzheng City are still adding new nutrients!
Xiang Rong knew very well how heavy the task he was undertaking, so he tried his best to attack from the beginning.
The Qin army knew even more how important this battle was to Great Qin.
The battle of Xinzheng has been intense from the beginning and is getting more intense!
Outside Xinzheng City.
Looking at the three thousand Qin troops who suddenly rushed out from the south city gate, Xiang Rong shouted loudly: "Order!"
"Xiang Bo's troops pressed forward and detoured to the south. Under the city wall, block the south gate!”
"Xiang Sheng's troops turned to the north..."
Orders were issued one after another, and troops and horses dispersed out, attacking Xinzheng City from all angles like swarms, but none of the orders were directed at them. The Qin army's infantry!
When the troops dispersed and the flags wavered endlessly, Xiang Rong hissed and shouted: "My tribesmen, follow me and charge into the formation!"
With a pinch on the horse's belly, Xiang Rong took the lead towards the Qin army. Running wildly up.
Hundreds of Xiang's descendants crowded closely around Xiang Rong, and thousands of Xiang's private soldiers followed behind.
While running, Xiang Rong kept scanning the Qin Army's formation with his eyes. He first galloped in a slightly northeast direction to pull the Qin Army away. When he got close to the Qin Army, he suddenly turned northwest and rushed in along the weakest link of the Qin Army's formation. .
“Kill!”
While roaring, Xiang Rong swung out the horse spear in his hand, swung away a forest of guns in front of him, then raised the horse spear levelly, and used the speed of the horse to charge. He cut open the neck of a Qin soldier!
With a flick of his wrist, Ma Shan avoided Qin Jun's spine, separated from Qin Jun's flesh and blood, and stabbed towards another Qin Jun.
On the city wall, Tengfu ordered in a deep voice: "Order!"
"Dong Yi's troops came out from the east city gate and cooperated with the defenders on the city to kill the Chu army in the east city!"
"Xin Wu's troops immediately changed their formations and trapped the Chu army general!"
"The south gate is closed!"
Xin Wu immediately shouted: "Fill in the left and right, and the Chinese army holds shields to stop the enemy!"
Hearing Xin Wu's order, the Chinese shield soldiers immediately came up forward.
"Cang!"
Ma Shan collided with Fang Dun, and the sound of gold and iron erupted.
Xiang Rong's speed slowed down, and his body shook a little. The Qin army blocking Xiang Rong was even hit and staggered back.
Even though his center of gravity was unstable, Xiang Rong still probed Ma Shan and penetrated the Qin Jun's heart.
However, after killing this Qin soldier, Xiang Rong found that more and more Qin soldiers were outflanking him from the left and right!
Xiang Rong tightened the reins without hesitation: "The front army turned to the rear army and fought out of this formation!"
Looking down at Xiang Rong's troops who had withdrawn from the formation, Teng Fu sighed softly: "What a pity. "
"This general is really brave!"
Ying Zheng said solemnly: "Even the bravest general will be trapped in the battle if he often rushes into battle!"< br>
Tengfu nodded: "What the king said is true."
"Even though the enemy general has been trapped twice, he still puts himself in danger."
"It can be seen that he is quite arrogant in claiming to be superior in force."
"Therefore, I will make arrangements to lure the enemy again. "As long as the enemy generals are still worried and attack, they will fall into the trap sooner or later!" The husband noticed that Ying Zheng's face was getting more and more ugly.
Tengfu hurriedly raised his hands and asked: "But there is something wrong with my arrangement?"
Ying Zheng shook his head: "Teng Aiqing is far better than me in battle formation."
"Ime. Since Teng Aiqing is promoted to be the general who defends the city, he won't say anything about it."
"It's just..." Ying Zheng looked to the southeast: "Brother Wang must be worried."
Xiang Rong was eager to break through Xinzheng City.
What about Brother Wang?
After knowing that the people were trapped in Xinzheng, Brother Wang will definitely be anxious and want to break Shouchun City!
Is the current Wang brother like Xiang Rong outside the city, trying his best to rush into the battle personally?
Is the Chu State Guardsman just like Teng Fu, laying many traps for Ying Chengyu’s eagerness?
Everything Teng Fu said was about the arrangements for Xiang Rong.
But every word that reaches Ying Zheng’s ears will make Ying Zheng heartbroken and worried!
Unfortunately, Ying Zheng can do nothing!
Forcing himself to look away, Ying Zheng looked at Teng Fu: "Do you remember that Aiqing is a vassal of Lord Chang'an?"
Teng Fu looked slightly embarrassed: "My lord, I am indeed with Lord Chang'an. Good personal relationship.”
“The only person I am loyal to is the king!”
All Qin officials should be loyal to only one person, and that is Ying Zheng!
Submission is only a private relationship of allegiance, how can it be brought to the table?
Ying Zheng ignored Teng Fu's excuse and said in a deep voice: "When Lord Chang'an returns home in triumph, I hope that Teng Aiqing can tell Lord Chang'an about the battle and Aiqing's arrangements in detail."
"I must persuade Lord Chang'an not to rush into the battle in person again!"
Tengfu immediately handed over his hand: "Wei!"
While he was talking, a hundred messenger soldiers crossed the mountain top and came towards Juechen along the distant hillside towards Xinzheng City.
When they arrived about 300 feet outside Xinzheng City, fifty of the messengers cheered excitedly: "A great victory in Shouchun City!"
"Great Qin, a thousand victories!"
< br>Ying Zheng couldn't wait to walk to the female wall and looked at the messenger in the distance.
I saw that the hundreds of messengers were carrying the flags of Qin and Chu respectively, but now they were walking side by side, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Ying Zheng immediately ordered: "Put the basket and lead the troops into the city!"
While outside the city.
But Xiang Rong said emphatically: "How could our great Chu be defeated!"
"How could our Shouchun City be captured by the Qin army!"
"Fa Qian Let the soldiers go and kill all the Qin troops who are spreading rumors and pretending to be Chu troops!”
Xiang Rong did not receive any report of the defeat of Xiang Yan's troops.
Since Xiang Yan’s troops have not been breached yet, how could Shouchun City be breached!
Xiang Rong doesn’t believe it!
However, after the order was conveyed, fifty order soldiers broke into the Chu army's center.
“Xiang Rong, how dare you draw your sword against us!”
The leader of the messenger held the gold medal high in his right hand and shouted angrily: "Shangzhu Guoyan's command was not good, which led to the defeat of this battle."
"Now, as the son of Shangzhu Guoyan, you still want to kill us. ?”
“Is Xiang planning to rebel?” Looking at the appearance of the visitor, Xiong Rong’s eyes were full of shock: “Xiong Sizhi!”
Xiong Jie Lengran looked at Xiang Rong: "Xiang Duwei intends to kill me. Could it be that he has done something unscrupulous and is afraid of being found out by me?"
The Chu State Secretary was directly responsible to the King of Chu, and his main job was to investigate and report the illegal and criminal behavior of officials.
Who can not panic when Si Zhi comes to visit?
Xiang Rong hurriedly handed over his hand: "The general will pay homage to Sizhi."
"The general heard the rumor that the Qin army's soldiers shouted that Shouchun City was broken, so he sent troops to attack, and he had no intention of attacking Xiong Sizhi. No disrespect!"
Xiong Jie was silent for a few moments before speaking: "Shouchun City is indeed broken."
Xiang Rong raised his head in disbelief: "How could Shouchun City be broken!"
"How is this possible!!!"
The strength of the Chu army was nearly twice that of the Qin army.
The leading general of the Chu army is his respected father, Xiang Yan.
The Chu army is far superior to Qin in terms of military strength and generals!
It was difficult for the Chu army to win, which was within Xiang Rong's expectation.
After all, Xiang Rong also knew that there were serious problems within the Chu army.
But when the Qin army attacks Shouchun City, will the various tribes continue to fight among themselves? That is the capital of Chu State!
If all the tribes fought together, how did Qin conquer Shouchun City?
Xiang Rong can’t understand!
Xiang Rong is unimaginable!
Xiong Jie was not in the mood to explain, so he just took out the bamboo slip from his sleeve and said in a deep voice: "Pass the king's order!"
"The soldiers and horses under Yan's command in Shangzhu State are not allowed to interact with Qin again. The army is engaged in battle and must return to Shouchun City immediately, no mistake."
"Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed!"
Close the bamboo slips, Xiong Jie said coldly: "Shangzhu Guoyan. We have set off as ordered and returned to the court.”
"Now, the only one left wandering around is Xiang Duwei."
"Xiang Duwei, take the order."
Xiang Rong looked back at Xinzheng City unwillingly: " Can Xiong Si directly report to the king? "
"Give me another ten days!"
"I will be able to break through Xinzheng City in just ten days!"
>
Xiong Jie pressed his sword with his right hand and his voice became a little louder: "Lieutenant Xiang, take the order!"
Give you ten more days?
Then who gives the king ten days!
How dare Shu Zian despise the king’s life so much!
Looking at Xiong Jie’s unquestionable eyes and the hand holding the sword hilt, Xiang Rong had to hand over his hand: "General, take the order!"
Dropping his hands, Xiang Rong said loudly: "Send orders to all ministries to collect the troops and return to the camp."
"Go back to the court tomorrow."
As he spoke, Xiang Rong was thinking in his heart.
I have received this news, and Qin must have also received this news.
Is it possible to take advantage of the Qin army's slack tonight to steal a move?
However, Xiong Jie said more and more seriously: "Please Captain Xiang set off immediately!"
It is really uncomfortable to feel that the capital of the country is occupied by enemy troops.
Xiong Jie doesn’t want King Chu Han to stay in danger for even an hour longer!
Xiang Rong immediately refuted: "If our army withdraws now, the Qin army will chase and kill them one after another!"
Xiong Jie said quietly: "Qin and Chu have repaired it, and the Qin army will not leave the city. Chase.”
"Please be patient, Commander Xiang."
Xiang Rong's little thoughts failed, as if all his strength had been drained, and he reluctantly handed over his hand: "General, take the order!"
Finally, deeply After taking a deep look at Xinzheng City, Xiang Rong muttered unwillingly: "I don't know if there will be such a good opportunity again in the future."
"What a pity! What a pity! Sad!"
...
Watching the Chu army retreat, Ying Zheng became even more anxious and couldn't help shouting: "Quick!"
With the efforts of the guards, fifty Qin army messengers were transported up the city wall.
The leading messenger skillfully opened his arms as soon as he climbed onto the city wall and allowed the guards to lift him in front of Ying Zheng.
Breaking away from the guards, Danfu knelt down and shouted excitedly: "Let Danfu, the commander of the envoy, report to the king!"
"A great victory in Shouchun City!"
"The military report is here!"
Meng Tian immediately took the military report for verification, but Ying Zheng looked at Dan Fu and asked: "I remember you."
"The same is true for the previous report of Chang'an Jun's victory. You sent it, right?”
Dan Fu was shocked.
How can he be remembered by Ying Zheng for being a small military commander?
Dan Fu quickly handed over his hands and said gratefully: "It's just humility!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for remembering to be humble!"
Ying Zheng smiled warmly: "Quickly get a soft couch and warm water. , Here comes the meat for all the heroes!”
After giving the instructions, Ying Zheng asked: “Is Chang’an Jun all right?”
Ying Zheng doesn’t care what happened in the battle of Shouchun City. .
Ying Zheng didn't even care about the outcome of the battle between Qin and Chu.
Ying Zheng only cares about one question, whether Ying Chenglong is safe!
Fortunately, Dan Fu gave a positive answer without hesitation: "The coach is fine!"
"With the bravery of the coach, no one can hurt the coach!"
Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Good!"
"Very good!"
"Go back to the palace! Summon the ministers to discuss matters in the main hall!"
Stepping onto the five-horse cart, Ying Zheng unfolded the bamboo slips and read them carefully, and said again with a smile on his face. Skillfully he removed the last few rows of bamboo pieces and put them into his arms.
Stepping into the main hall of Xinzheng Palace, all the ministers raised their hands and said: "Greetings to the king!"
Wei Liao couldn't wait to ask: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Chu army outside the city has retreated. So what? Is this true? ”
Ying Zheng asked with a smile: "How do you know that my dear brother first destroyed Han, then Wei, and now he has destroyed Shouchun City?"
Wei Liao: (◎_◎;)
< br>Is this what I’m asking about?
The ministers: [_?]
When did we know about this?
We don’t know!
