Qin Gong

Chapter 593 Meeting Young Master Sheng before the war

All the Qin soldiers in the city road raised their bows and arrows. Everyone was concentrating and holding their breath, looking at the Chu army in the distance that was approaching like a tide, looking at the ladders and siege vehicles, each of the Qin soldiers looked at each other, They are all full of determination.

Killing people is not enough to lose their heads. They finally lived like this and got their current status. Thinking of their wives, children and parents in their hometown, and the rewards they finally got these days, looking at the Chu army, even the elderly soldiers of Qin The old man held Chang Ge with more and more strength in his wrinkled and bony hands.

"I've seen General Bai!"

In front of the city house, Tian Ding saw Bai Yan coming and took a deep breath. From the corner of his eye, he saw the mighty Chu army approaching from outside the city, as well as the Chu army that filled the distant sky. Bai Yan cupped his hands and saluted.

"Why is Mr. Tian here?"

Bai Yan walked a few steps in front of Tian Ding and stopped. After returning the salute, he frowned and looked at Tian Ding.

When Tian Ding heard this, he did not rush to answer Bai Yan's words. Instead, he turned sideways and raised his hand to introduce the two men beside him to Bai Yan under his wide sleeved robe with white stripes.

"Young Master is promoted! Young Master Zhen!"

After Tian Ding finished speaking, the two men bowed their hands to Bai Yan.

"Tian Sheng! I've met General Bai!"

"Tian Zhen! I've met General Bai!"

Kuang didn't think anything of what the two men said, but Guan Shou immediately frowned and looked at the two men.

Bai Yan also looked at the two people in front of him with a surprised look. He had grown up in Qi State, so Bai Yan naturally knew that these two people were the sons of King Qi and the young masters of Qi State.

But Bai Yan never thought that the Chu army outside the city was now fierce and about to attack the city. He would meet the two Qi princes on such an occasion.

"Bai Yan, I have met the two young masters!"

Bai Yan was not rude.

"Now that the war is about to begin, I wonder why the two young masters are here?"

After Bai Yan finished the ceremony, he looked at Tian Ding, then looked at Young Master Sheng and Young Master Zhen.

Gongzi Zhen turned his head and couldn't help but look at his brother. Although his eyes were obscure, Bai Yan still noticed that Gongzi Zhen came here obviously unwillingly, and it was most likely that he was promoted to here.

"I want to invite the general to come back!"

Young Master Sheng did not hide anything. When he heard Bai Yan's question, he spoke directly without hesitation and looked directly at Bai Yan.

That look in his eyes made even Bai Yan's hair stand on end, as if he had a good feeling about Long Yang.

"Get back together!!!"

Zhang next to Bai Yan originally had an indifferent expression, but after hearing this, he suddenly became unhappy and looked at the general in front of him, and then looked at Young Master Sheng with displeasure.

The same goes for Guan Shou, with that look in his eyes, even Tian Ding frowned slightly when he saw it.

"The war is about to begin. Please leave young master quickly to avoid being affected by the flames of war. Bai Yan is a general of Qin. Thanks to the great love of King Qin, he has no intention of returning to Qi!"

Bai Yan sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face, and then looked at Tian Ding.

"Master Tian, ​​please take the two young masters out of the city. Bai Yan will order people to open the city gate! Let the young masters leave!"

Bai Yan cupped his hands and said.

Bai Yan felt that he had made it very obvious. Even Young Master Zhen nodded when he saw this, looking at his brother with anxious eyes, and then looked at Tian Ding.

But Gongzi Sheng was not affected by Bai Yan's words.

"General Bai, now outside the city, there are no less than 20 Chu troops. In addition, Changping Lord rebelled against Qin, Qin General Li Xin was defeated, and 20 Qin troops died at the hands of Xiang Yan. Wang Ben has already withdrawn his troops, and Jing Qi has also The general is the only one who leads the Chu army and is watching with eager eyes. The general knows that he will only die if he stays, so why should he throw away his life in vain?"

Young Master Sheng frowned and spoke to Bai Yan bluntly.

Tian Ding also looked at Bai Yan silently. On the way here, they had already received news that Lord Changping had rebelled, Li Xin was defeated, and Wang Ben of Wei led his troops to evacuate.

Now, the only one who is fighting against the Chu State is Bai Yan, an army of the Qin State, and only Bai Yan is facing the Chu State.

Thinking that Jing Qi had already commanded the Chu army and could cut off Bai Yan's retreat at any time, if Bai Yan couldn't find a way to leave secretly, he would probably be dead.

"By virtue of the king's favor, Bai Yan is willing to fight to the death!"

Bai Yan refused to Young Master Sheng simply and directly, without any hesitation.

Bai Yan knew better than anyone else that Gongzi Sheng was the son of the Chu Kingdom. Now every word that Gongzi Sheng said to him was likely to reach Ying Zheng's ears, so Bai Yan basically went to Ying Zheng without any hesitation. Show loyalty to the government.

At worst, if he is really defeated, if Ying Zheng learns what he is saying now, after the world is unified, he will treat his parents even more kindly.

"Send the young master off to the tower!"

Bai Yan obviously didn't want to tangle with Gongzi Sheng anymore, so he directly gave instructions to Mang.

Tian Ding frowned and took a step forward, while Master Zhen was so frightened that his face changed and his eyes changed. Full of panic and fear.

"Sir, please!"

He opened his mouth and said in a rather unkind tone.

"Bai Yan, Ying Zheng is a tyrant, why bother serving Ying Zheng!"

Gongzi Sheng looked at Bai Yan turning sideways and said unwillingly. However, Tian Ding was filled with fear when he stepped forward. After thinking about it, he glanced at the persistent Bai Yan and then turned around to look at Gongzi Sheng. .

"Sir, let's go down to the tower first!"

Tian Ding said to Gongzi Sheng. Seeing that Gongzi Sheng was unwilling to give in and seemed to not want to leave, Tian Ding quickly gave him a wink and shook his head vaguely.

"This place is a battlefield!"

Tian Ding said softly to Young Master Sheng.

This is also a reminder to Young Master Sheng that this is a battlefield. Facing the persistent Bai Yan, any more words will only make Bai Yan, the general, more disgusted.

After two breaths of silence, Gongzisheng seemed to understand what Tian Ding meant, and finally hesitated and nodded in agreement.

However, before leaving, Gongzi Sheng still handed over to Bai Yan.

"The general will not leave until he returns to Qi and is promoted! Even if the Chu army surrounds the city."

Gongzi Sheng said with a persistent look on his face, looking straight at Bai Yan's side face, then turned around and walked past Bai Yan.

Seeing this, Gongzi Zhen hurriedly followed, fearing that he would be one step behind.

Tian Ding was also ready to leave, but when he passed by Bai Yan, Tian Ding thought for a while and stopped.

"Before I left Linzi, I met the old woman. The old woman is still looking forward to your return. Don't die in the battle in Chu..."

Tian Ding said softly, and after finishing speaking, he walked towards the city road.

Bai Yan turned his head and looked at Tian Ding's leaving figure. Thinking of his grandmother, he turned back to look at the Chu army getting closer outside the city. His mind couldn't help but recall the smile his grandmother always showed after seeing him when he was at home when he was a child. Leave the good to Him.

back to God.

Bai Yan took a deep breath and looked at the Qin soldiers with firm eyes in the city road. Bai Yan also looked at them in the same way.

Also, everyone says that Ying Zheng was a tyrant, but who in the world can know that if Ying Zheng was a tyrant, the terracotta warriors and horses that will shock future generations for thousands of years are all made of earth, not bones.

If Ying Zheng was really a tyrant, how could the nobles of the Central Plains countries, especially Qi, have the opportunity to rebel against Qin after Ying Zheng's death.

We must know that in later generations, it is still unknown whether King Jian of Qi was really starved to death or was retaliated by the Qi people. However, the royal family members of the Qi King basically remained in Qi State unscathed.

Think of these.

Bai Yan looked at the Chu army approaching outside the city. Although he was the only Qin army in this battle, he still wanted to try and destroy Chu!
Bai Yan doesn't care how future generations will evaluate Ying Zheng, but at the moment, Bai Yan is a general of Qin, and Ying Zheng is the one who worships him as a general!
"Fire arrows!"

"Shoot the arrow!!!"

As the roars of the generals rang out one after another in the distant city road, countless arrows in the city road flew out of the city instantly. Bai Yan looked in front of the city house, and saw thousands of arrows on both sides. Shoot at the Chu army.

Bai Yan could clearly see the attacking Chu army. Although there were siege engines, ladders and the like in front, and even the Chu army had countless shields, as the wave of arrows rained down, he could still clearly see the following. In the tide-like Chu army, many spots seemed to be different from the surrounding Chu army sea, and they disappeared in an instant.

"Fire arrows!"

"quick!"

There were no drums in the city, only countless shouts. Under waves of arrows, the Chu army got closer and closer to the city. At this time, the Chu army also began to take out their bows and crossbows under the city and fired arrows into the city road. .

In front of Bai Yan, following Guan Shou's gesture, rows of Qin soldiers holding wooden shields stood in front of Bai Yan, raising their shields to block.

As the arrows came and went, screams could be heard everywhere in the city. Many Qin soldiers who were hit by arrows were not shot to death, but the severe pain caused them to keep covering the place where they were hit by the arrows, wailing loudly. .Bai Yan was also prepared for this. In the city road filled with Qin soldiers, the narrow walkway on the inner wall, apart from providing support, was also used to carry injured soldiers to the city for treatment.

"leave!"

Under the order of a Qin Army general, the Qin Army soldiers who had been hiding behind the shield soldiers stepped forward, holding high the porcelain filled with water, and threw it towards the approaching siege vehicles, ladders, and even some soldiers, regardless of the rain of arrows. In his hand, he still held a small wine flask.

As those porcelains hit the ladders and siege vehicles fiercely, they shattered when they hit them. Black water instantly spread on the wooden piles, and even some Chu soldiers were hit so hard that they were covered in water. .

Before the Chu soldiers could recover, the next moment, torches flew out from the top of the city. Some of them hit the Chu soldiers, while others instantly ignited flames after touching the water.

Gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the wailing figures of the Chu army under the city walls could be seen everywhere. What was even more frightening was that water would burn if it touched it, which also led to many riots among the Chu army.

"kill!!"

"kill!!!"

The soldiers of the Chu army were on the carriage, pushing aside the wooden boards and rushing towards the city road.

However, the Qin soldiers had already held crossbows and fired arrows at the Chu soldiers. As the Chu soldiers fell to the ground and fell from the high carriage, other Chu soldiers wanted to jump to the city road. The Qin soldiers raised their With Chang Ge, he was stabbed directly into the body in mid-air.

He didn't know whether Xiang Yan's promise was too high, or whether the Chu army had just won a great victory and its morale was high. Standing in front of the city tower, Bai Yan could clearly see that under such a dense defense, some Chu soldiers still jumped. Entering the city road, causing a commotion.

There was even a Chu soldier who killed three people in a row.

"Lead the people and be sure to kill those people. Tell the soldiers to kill all those who climb the city until the Chu army becomes frightened and the Chu army will not dare to attack the city again!"

Bai Yan ordered Guan Shou.

At this time, Bai Yan could tell at a glance that those Chu troops who had ascended first were all warriors who were good at fighting and had always been the first to ascend. Not only were they not afraid of death, they were also very experienced, which had to make Bai Yan wary.

Xiang Yan wanted to defeat the morale of the city in one day, and even wanted to breach the city tower.

"promise!"

After Guan Shou heard this, he accepted the order with his hands, then turned and left.

Fortunately, before the war, Bai Yan had spoken to the Qin soldiers, so that the Qin soldiers understood that the destruction of the city would mean death of the body and the family. Therefore, in the city road at this time, watching the soldiers of the Chu army ascending to the tower, one by one the soldiers of the Qin army They all looked like they didn't care about their lives and started to kill the Chu soldiers with wide eyes.

No matter how brave the Chu army was, they could kill one or two, but as all the Qin soldiers rushed to kill them without hesitation, even the experienced Chu army who was the first to attack had panic in their eyes.

"kill!!!"

"kill!!"

In the blink of an eye, they were surrounded and killed by the Qin army. They were chopped down to the ground with random knives, and then they ended up being hacked to death again and again.

Qin soldiers see blood!

That was complete madness. Some of the Qin soldiers who had lost their minds even shouted hoarsely. Looking at the Chu soldiers who were approaching the car, their eyes showed unprecedented madness.

This scene made the soldiers of the Chu Army who originally thought it would be easy to capture the city tower were shocked. Especially after they got on the carriage, they stood on the carriage and looked at the long city road. There were murderous eyes everywhere. , the Qin soldiers who stared at him nakedly, their eyes seemed to be unyielding and even crazier than them.

"Fire arrows!"

"Kill all the Chu troops!!"

Under the constant shouts of the Qin army generals, the Chu army's initial offensive soon made no progress.

The generals Huipu and Guan Shou, with their cronies in the city road, continued to kill all the Chu soldiers who came to the city.

As the smoke began to rise from the ladder, a moment later, to the surprise of Bai Yan and all the Qin troops, more and more smoke rose from under the city head. This smoke was very pungent and was obviously not caused by burning water and wood. Smoke, but the smoke of burning grass and hay mixed together.

There were many soldiers who choked on the smoke, and some were even caught off guard and suddenly encountered a large plume of smoke in the smoke, which instantly made them unable to open their eyes and made them burst into tears.

"Immediately order the soldiers below the tower to cover their noses with wet cloths and come up to replace them! Hurry!!!"

When Bai Yan just saw Liao Yan, he thought of the Chu army's move of sending elite troops to advance first. He instantly understood the Chu army's intention and hurriedly gave instructions to his cronies.

Then Bai Yan didn't care about anything else. Seeing that Zhang had returned, he drew his sword and pointed to the other side.

"Hold that side! Don't let the Chu army attack the city!"

Bai Yan was also choked by the growing smoke, but he didn't care so much. When he saw Zhang nodded, he quickly walked towards the other side with other close associates.

More and more smoke blocked the Qin army's sight, but the Qin army fired randomly at the smoke.

On a carriage, a Chu soldier in his 30s quickly jumped into the city road in the smoke, then took a sharp sword and slashed at a Qin soldier, with blood splattering on his body.

But the Chu soldiers didn't care at all. In this trance, in the smoke, more and more Chu soldiers jumped into the city road one after another, entered the city road and pounced on the Qin soldiers. The constant actions caught the Qin soldiers off guard.

However, at this moment, when the 30-year-old Chu soldier was feeling proud, he turned around and felt a force on the back of his knee. The moment he fell to his knees, he felt a stinging pain in his neck, as if all his strength had been drained from his body. Soldier Chu raised his hand and touched his neck with all his strength. His eyes were full of disbelief when he saw that his hand was covered with blood.

Falling to the ground, the Chu soldier didn't know who killed him from beginning to end, and his eyes were distracted, and his thoughts went back to the scene in his hometown before he entered the Xiang family's army, and he finally lost consciousness.

Inside the smoke.

The two Chu soldiers who had just jumped into the city road saw the figure approaching and were killed by the figure before they could slash with their swords.

Bai Yan held the bloody Zhanlu and looked step by step at any Chu soldiers who appeared in the city road.

Many Qin soldiers didn't react at first, but after they reacted, they fought with the Chu soldiers one after another. When they saw Bai Yan holding a sword and killing the enemy with them, their morale was even higher.

in the city.

On the street, a carriage drove slowly.

"Brother, if not, we should go back to Qi! Bai Yan is determined to die fighting for Ying Zheng. It is too dangerous for us to be here!"

Young Master Zhen looked at his brother with a pleading look on his face, and then looked at Tian Ding in a pleading manner.

Originally, he was going to take Guichan back to Qi in the name of his father, but instead of telling him about the arrival of his brother and Tian Ding, he learned that Bai Yan had returned to Qufu and insisted on letting him go with him.

It is said that the two young masters of Qi took the risk and invited each other to show their sincerity and move Bai Yan.

This is not.

When he came here and saw the mighty Chu army outside the city, Gongzi Zhen instantly regretted it. He had known that he would return to Qi State no matter what he said. Now, he followed his elder brother here. His elder brother saw that the Chu army was about to break through. He didn't even plan to leave the city, he had no idea at all.

His master, Zhen, is a master of the Qi State. If he doesn't enjoy the glory and wealth, why should he come here to suffer?

"Bai Yan cannot die here. Qin has already killed 20 troops. Qin general Wang Ben led the Qin army to retreat. After the Chu army defeated Bai Yan's Qin army, they not only took back Qufu, but also took advantage of the situation. If we annex Wei, Qi will be in danger!"

Gongzi Sheng looked at Gongzi Zhen with an angry face and said seriously.

If the Qin State first destroyed Han and Zhao and then swallowed up Yan and Wei, which made the Qi State uneasy, then with the rebellion of Changping Lord and the Chu army's great victory, the Chu State was the threat to the Qi State.

This also made Gongzi Sheng realize more and more how dangerous and helpless a country is without good generals.

If Qi is powerful, how can it be afraid of Qin? If Qi has famous generals who are good at fighting, how can it let Chu annex Wei? Qi can completely reap the benefits.

and so……

With this promotion, the young master became more determined to take Bai Yan back to Qi.

If Bai Yan is defeated, Gongzi Sheng will threaten the Chu State and let Bai Yan go, even if he risks being killed. Otherwise, the Qi State will allied with the Qin State to attack Chu and send troops immediately!
Gongzi Sheng didn't know whether this move would threaten Chu State, but at the moment, Gongzi Sheng couldn't care less.

"Master Tian!"

Seeing that he could not convince his brother, Gongzi Zhen could only look at Tian Ding pleadingly.

"The defenders in the city are all surrendered soldiers of Wei and the common people of Wei. Bai Yan cannot resist the Chu army at all. Bai Yan must be saved!"

Tian Ding sighed, having the same thoughts as Gongzi Sheng.

Bai Yan can't die!

Besides...

If it weren't for him, a loyal minister and capable general like Bai Yan would be in the Qi court.

Bai Yan never blamed Tian Ding, but the more he acted like this, Tian Ding felt a sense of guilt deeply buried in his heart. When he met King Qi, Tian Ding would feel uneasy. When he met his colleagues in the court, he would feel guilty. It stings, and when you see countless ambitious people in Qi, you will feel depressed and uncomfortable.

"Bai Yan made a mistake! But if Lord Changping hadn't suddenly rebelled, Bai Yan wouldn't have been forced to surrender his troops to defend the city. He didn't even have time to mobilize his elite troops. Think about the Battle of Miao River, when Bai Yan devoured one hundred thousand Chu troops. To the east of Chu State, no Chu army can resist Bai Yan!"

Young Master Sheng couldn't help but look at Tian Ding and shook his head. When he talked about Bai Yan, his eyes were filled with brilliance.
