General Qin

Chapter 235

"Close the city gate!"

The king of Chu yelled loudly, and the bloody scene outside Shouchun City at this moment had already frightened him to the point of trembling.

Those black-armored Qin soldiers were too scary, they were not human at all.

If these brutal Qin troops were allowed to rush into the city and capture him, he would not even dare to think about that kind of fate.

Therefore, King Chu of Chu was only thinking of closing the gate of Shouchun City, shutting out those Qin people who were like wild beasts and ghosts. As for the Chu soldiers who were being chased by the Qin army outside the city, and the Chu civilians frantically rushing into the city in the chaos, it had nothing to do with him.

If you die, you Xiaomin, don't die.

On the city wall, the accompanying officials and nobles of the Chu Kingdom were all terrified, their faces ashen.

Those upper-level figures who were good at fighting and quite brave in Chu State either went to guard Xiangcheng, or followed Xiang Yan's army to fight Li Xin, or stayed in their own fiefs to recruit soldiers.

There are not many people in Shouchun City who can understand military affairs, Qu Ming is one of them, but it's a pity that his life and death are unknown now.

In fact, there are many capable military officers and generals among the guards in the city. However, these people are either responsible for military affairs in the city, or they are of low status. So when the Qin army drove the defeated Chu army and rushed straight to Shouchun City, there was a panic on the city wall, and no one could cope with the current situation for a while.

At this moment, not only the king of Chu ordered the city gate to be closed, but even Jin Xia and other nobles screamed for the guards to close the gate.

Under their series of screams, the Chu soldiers stationed at the city gate could only obey the order and wanted to close the city gate, but the passageway of the city gate was already blocked by the frantic influx of Chu people. The Chu soldiers guarding the gate vainly tried to use their swords and halberds to force back the civilians who rushed in madly, but there were nearly ten thousand Chu people. They were so frightened by the sudden Qin army that they were going crazy, and they would do anything to survive. A group of soldiers guarding the gate can stop it.

The Chu people in the back pushed the Chu people in front, pushing people forward without stopping. Facing the roaring and scolding guards of the city gate who leveled their spears in an attempt to intimidate them, the Chu man who was pushed to the front also screamed. He was pushed by the people behind him and bumped against the spears involuntarily. go up.

One, two... Several people were strung on the tip of the spear, and the panicked guards were quickly knocked down by the Chu people who rushed in, and then countless feet stepped on them. Facing the crisis of life and death, everyone wants to escape for their lives, no matter what the king's order is or not.

The gate of Shouchun city could not be closed, and those Qin troops who were chasing after him had reached dozens of steps below the city.

King Chu's eyes are very good, so good that he can even see the ferocious expressions on the dirty faces of the Qin people, and the blood spattered on his body when they killed people, the image is even more terrifying and frightening. It's like a demon in the world.

The king of Chu trembled, his face was pale, and he wanted to turn around and run away, but his legs trembled and he couldn't move.

Fortunately, Jing Zhao and several other capable nobles came to their senses at this time.

"Let the arrow!"

In fact, there were many guards on the walls of Shouchun City, plus the imperial guards accompanied by the king of Chu, there were actually hundreds of them, but the sudden incident just now, coupled with the screaming of the king and many nobles, frightened them all in place. , dare not make a move. Now that someone ordered, all the guards raised their crossbows and shot at the Qin people approaching outside the city.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The arrows flew and landed in front of those Qin people.

It didn't hit the target, but it succeeded in forcing the group of Qin soldiers to stop moving forward.

Without the cover of shields and equipment, if you rush to the city gate with a bow and crossbow, you will suffer a lot of losses.

Seeing this scene, King Chu of Chu heaved a sigh of relief, stretched out his hands to cover his chest, and felt his heart beating.

The soldiers of Qin stopped one by one and looked up at the group of elegantly dressed and crowned figures on the city wall, as well as the king of Chu who was surrounded in the middle.

"It's a pity, if only we could take advantage of the chaos and rush straight to the city to capture the King of Chu. It would be a great feat to attack the city and capture the king in one fell swoop!"

Hei Hiu looked at the arrow with its tail feathers still shaking a few meters ahead, then looked up at the top of the city, and couldn't help but regret: "It's a pity that there are fewer people. If the military officer can bring 5,000 people here to charge City, maybe there is a possibility of success."

But Hei Hip was just talking casually, and he also knew that this was impossible.

Although there are nearly 5,000 people under Zhao Tuo's command, they are in very bad condition after traveling thousands of miles. In addition, they have been out of food for two days, except that the 500 people are full of meat due to their special mission. The other 4,000 people were all starving and fed on wild vegetable roots and oranges, and some even dug worms from the ground to eat.

Heibutt once saw someone digging a worm out of the ground hungry, chewing with half stuffed in his mouth, with half of the worm's body still wriggling outside his mouth, that scene looked both scary and sad.

In this state, the Qin army was able to raid the Chu army at the foot of the Eighth Mountain in one go. Where does the strength come from eating food?

Black Butt once patted his ass and came up with a clever plan.

After they succeeded in raiding the Chu army at the foot of the mountain, they could strip off the armor on the Chu people's corpses, put on Chu people's armor, pretend to be the Chu army escorting the captives, and then take the opportunity to enter the city. After entering the city, they can launch a surprise attack and capture them directly. Live in the king of Chu, and serve the nobles and nobles in Shouchun City in one pot.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to have such a clever plan.

However, Zhao Tuo stopped him with a question.

Can the Chu army be completely wiped out?

As long as one person from Chu fled to Shouchun City, the plan of Hei Hip would be completely impossible to succeed.

It is easy to defeat five thousand Chu troops with five thousand Qin troops, but it is difficult to wipe them out even if Bai Qi is alive.

Not to mention that the winter fog surrounding the surrounding area was not only a cover for the Qin army's surprise attack, but also a shelter for the Chu soldiers' escape. As long as they got into the fog and ran for a certain distance, it would be difficult to find them again.

Therefore, Hei Hip's trip was not to capture the King of Chu with 500 people breaking their longevity, but for another purpose.

Thinking of this, Hei Hiu giggled.

He took a step forward and yelled at the king of Chu and the princes and nobles of the state of Chu on the city wall: "You Jingchu barbarians, let Naigong listen!"

"Don't think you barbarians can be proud of winning a game in Huaibei. My 30,000 Qin army has arrived in Huainan and is cutting trees on the eight mountains. When we have built the siege equipment, we will come to destroy this small city of Shouchun. Cut off the dog's head of your king of Chu, and send it to Xianyang for military merit! Hahaha!"

"Breaking Shouchun, beheading the king of Chu!"

The five hundred Qin soldiers laughed wildly and shouted together, the voice shook the sky, and it reached the head of Shouchun City, making everyone in the Chu country tremble.

Heitou smiled, turned his back to Shouchun, picked up the hem of his clothes, opened his skirt, and showed his shiny black buttocks to the eyes of the nobles at the top of the city.

"See it clearly, the king of Chu who played today is under the command of General Zhao, the black-butt captain!"

At the head of Shouchun city, the king of Chu felt dizzy.

The insulting actions of the captain of the Qin Army who called himself Black Butt under the city were not the main reason. What really made King Chu tremble with fear were the words Hei Butt said.

"Thirty thousand Qin troops?"

"I'm cutting down trees on the eighth mountain to build siege equipment. Shouchun, who is about to attack Bugu, cut off Bugu's head when it's finished?"

King Chu felt that his legs were weak and his palms were trembling violently.

He summoned up his courage and looked up in the direction of the Eight Mountains.

At this time, it was past noon, and the fog was much lighter than in the morning.

Through the thin mist, King Chu of Chu could see the rolling mountains and the dangerous terrain.

On the eight mountains, in the mist, there is no shadow of the god Yun Zhongjun. Instead, countless tall figures appear in it. I don't know if it is a person or a tree. Anyway, it really looks like there are countless soldiers of the Qin army. Cutting down trees and building machines.

The king of Chu was so scared that his face turned ashen, and he shouted to the officials beside him in horror: "You can see that there are indeed tens of thousands of Qin troops on the eight mountains, all over the mountains and plains, they are all my enemies!"

As he said that, King Chu Chu rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.

The third one is delivered.

Everyone's strategy to capture the king of Chu is very good, but it is quite difficult in practice. Forgive Zhao Tuo for being helpless.
