Longyang loves Qin

Chapter 121: Shouchun's Growing Old and Ending

The news that the Chu State moved its capital to Shangcai City did cause a lot of turmoil, because it was obvious that their royal court did not believe that they could defeat Qin State.In the current situation where Shangcai is besieged, this has greatly affected the morale of the Chu army.

However, there are also many people who don't believe this. They feel that this is a lie compiled by the Qin State to shake the morale of the army.

But whether you believe it completely or half believe it, the impact is very bad.

"It won't work like this, coach, let's try to rush out again!" A general said worriedly.

But Xiang Yan sighed and shook his head, "Going out now, isn't it true what Qin Jun said?"

If you didn't believe what Qin Jun said, why rush out at this juncture?Once the army does this, those who didn't believe it will also believe it.The more Chu Jun wants to prove that there is no such thing, the more he can't mess up.

And rushing out at this time, with such low morale, how can I get it?

At present, only by keeping everything in the army as usual and seeing the generals unaffected will the soldiers below doubt what Qin Jun said. After two days, the army's morale will naturally stabilize.

Even though he gave the order, Xiang Yan still had a bad expression.

After the general nearby noticed it, he couldn't help asking: "Commander? Could it be that what Qin Jun said is true..." Even the high-level CITIC people have heard about the move of the capital, but most of them dare not speak out.

Xiang Yan came back to her senses, restrained her expression, glanced at him and said, "I'm thinking about the time to break through."

The general breathed a sigh of relief, and began to criticize the Qin State righteously.

Xiang Yan didn't interrupt, he was still speculating about Qin Jun's actions. It is not difficult to eliminate Qin Jun's influence. He was more vigilant about Qin Jun's other actions.

He always felt that Qin Jun's tricks would not be so simple, and, was that really a lie?In order not to shake the morale of the army, he did not express his thoughts, but only thought hard.

But in the absence of any news or clues, no matter what Xiang Yan, who is always cunning, thinks, he would never have guessed that the move of the capital was planned by Ye Yu. .

Capture the thief first, capture the king first, Ye Yu's plan from the beginning was this, and it never changed.

In the next few days, Qin Jun still surrounded Shangcai to death.

During this period, some soldiers wanted to jump from the city wall into the moat, so as to escape and exchange news with the capital.It's a pity that as soon as he plopped into the water, he was discovered by Qin Bing, who patrolled non-stop for twelve hours and had irregular shifts.

Ye Yu also didn't return to Tangxi to wait for the battle before coming out. Instead, he stayed at the place where the Qin army camped outside the main city gate, following the rule of killing one after another.Unless Xiang Yan can get tens of thousands of people out of the city gate to the other side of the river, it will be useless even if he personally leads the army to break through.

Until he received the news from Shouchun - the ambush failed.

"It's a pity..." Several sighs sounded from the main tent.

Ye Yu also sighed. The 10,000+ people ambushing in Shouchun were not good at water. Even if they were trained, their spirits might not be good after such a long time in the water.However, he originally only asked these people to take down two small cities without any generals. Now he temporarily changed the plan and asked them to attack Shouchun. Facing the Chu army with more than 20 people, it is reasonable to fail.

He quickly adjusted his expression and said: "Don't blame them, at least Shouchun is surrounded, and the king of Chu can't run away. We should also move here."

King Chu really couldn't run away, or Huo couldn't run away even if he wanted to.

"Move again, move again!" King Chu paced back and forth in Shouchun's palace, cursing and anxiously.

The generals below did not say a word, and waited until the King of Chu vented his panic before replying: "If the king leaves the city now, the Qin army will definitely catch up."

When the king of Chu thought of the unexpected and menacing Qin army, his body froze and he fell to the ground.

This sound caused the general to show a look of contempt on his lowered face.This wave of Qin army was not as numerous as the Chu army, and he was not familiar with the geographical location. If he hadn't come to protect the king of Chu and others, how could he be so ashamed.

Move the capital again?The team that moved the capital was mighty, many of them were family servants and maidservants. Even if they were sitting on chariots and horses, their marching speed was slower than that of ordinary infantry. Doubling the manpower may not be enough!

The king of Chu was quiet for a while, and then urged: "Then you quickly beat the Qin army away! Didn't it mean that they are few in number, beat them away!"

This time the general took orders honestly.

The king of Chu still felt uneasy, and said, "Call Xiang Yan back quickly!" At this moment, he didn't care about Xiang Yan being trapped.

Although Shangcai was surrounded to death, it was difficult for Xiang Yan to spread any news, but people outside could send news in.

All you need is a bow and an arrow, and then find a soldier who is good at archery, tie the written message to the arrow and shoot it into the city.

When the guards of Shangcai first saw an arrow shot and nailed to the wooden frame, they thought it was another enemy attack. They were about to raise their voices and shouted, but they stopped because of the cloth strip on the arrow.

He took down the arrow, stood on the city wall and looked in the direction of the arrow, and vaguely saw a soldier wearing a helmet.

The Qin army didn't wear helmets, so it was probably the Chu army. The guards quickly reported the news to the main account without even removing the cloth strips from the arrows.

Because Qin Jun had too many tricks, Xiang Yan didn't know if this was Ye Yu's new trick. He wanted to see the trick, and at the same time untied the cloth strip and unfolded it.

The generals on the side saw their coach's face getting more and more serious, so they knew that the cloth must not be good news.

After Xiang Yan read it, he passed the strip of cloth to the rest of the generals.

After everyone saw it, they were all shocked, and what's more, they stood up directly from the table.

"This is impossible!" A drop of water dropped into the calmly heated oil in the main tent, and it exploded immediately.

Xiang Yan frowned tightly and said: "The handwriting is correct."

The cloth strip was written by the defenders of the capital city, and briefly and straightforwardly stated the relocation of the capital and the attack, and finally mentioned the words of the king of Chu.

The main account fell silent again, it was truly deathly silent.

If the capital is captured and the king of Chu is killed, what is the use of them sticking to Shangcai?Where is the state of Chu?

The generals thought about Shouchun, who was in dire straits, and Shangcai, which was now tightly blocked. People, actually put their hands into their lair right under their noses.

"Commander, we can't wait any longer, we must get out!" A general attended.

The rest of the people also responded one after another, standing up and pleading for their lives, vowing to fight a bloody way out, and then take Ye Yu's head to Shouchun to plead guilty.

Xiang Yan also stood up. He was tall and tall, and his body blocked a lot of light, making the tent look a bit dark.

There was only a clear cry, the sword around his waist was unsheathed, and there was another sound of piercing, like a roar of a tiger, the sword slashed across the tables in front of him, and then there was the trivial sound of wine bottles and bamboo slips falling to the ground.

"Lead the troops quickly, and follow me to fight through the siege!" Xiang Yan said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" All the generals took orders one after another, without any hesitation, they all hurried out of the tent.

The Chu army gathered quickly, and the news of Shouchun did not leak out, nor did it shake the morale of the army. On the contrary, the soldiers below saw that the generals were slowly fighting, and their morale was also infected.

Ye Yu had also been waiting for this day for a long time. He originally had 20 troops, and this time he brought almost all of them except logistics.

Both sides kept beating the war drums, and the sound of the drums became louder and louder, and the soldiers below were also fighting with high spirits.

Today there is no scorching sun, only gray and white clouds covering the top, the sound of the drum sounds like the roar of thunder, the clouds are churning, and the arrows in the sky are like a gust of wind and rain, blowing towards you.

Ye Yu made up his mind to wipe out Xiang Yan's army today, and Xiang Yan's army also decided to break through the encirclement of Qin army today. This battle is destined to be endless, and they can't retreat halfway through knocking out the golden gong.

The Chu army stood densely behind the city gate, and the huge city gate can only be described as narrow and small at this moment.

The cavalry galloped out of the city to clear the way for the army, and the generals also took the lead this time.

Ye Yu took his time and led the cavalry to face him. Zhanlu didn't have a sword light, so he didn't know when it would appear. Those Chu soldiers only saw a black afterimage in front of them, and then fell silent.

But just after the battle, I saw the two men with the highest level of armor in the two armies, each holding a sword, fighting together with a clang.

The two have fought against each other many times in the past few days, but none of them have been more aggressive than now. Every move can be fatal. It seems that even breathing has become the key to the victory or defeat.

Xiang Yan felt Ye Yu's attack. Compared with the first few times where life and death were on the line, Ye Yu is no less inferior to him after many days of life-threatening training, but at this time he has no compassion at all. Only be cautious, more cautious, and there can be no mistakes in every move.

Not only them, but even the rest of the war horses were facing each other as if they had a psychic connection, as if they were infected by their master.

In the first few hundred rounds, the two were still able to fight on horseback. Later, Xiang Yan suddenly slapped his horse on his back and leapt up to surprise Ye Yu!

How could Ye Yu let him succeed so easily?He also broke away from the horse, and with a stab of the black sword, he didn't miss half a breath.

The air was shaken by the collision of the two swords. This time, even the soldiers who wanted to help them did not dare to approach the two of them.

After another hundreds of rounds, Xiang Yan rose violently again, and with the sound of the long cry of the sword, he slashed like thunder and lightning.

Ye Yu shielded his sword with both hands, and stood firmly, not retreating half an inch, but his body sank slightly, and the edge of his shoes rubbed a circle of dirt.

When he noticed that the strength of the sword had weakened slightly, he did not show any weakness, he dodged to draw the sword, and quickly used a slash to slash away.

Xiang Yan knew that it was difficult to dodge, so she could only raise her sword to block it, but unexpectedly, this was Ye Yu's bluff move, the real move was not a slash, but a concentrated thrust.

Xiang Yan felt his heart go cold, the black sword pierced through the thin gap of his bronze armor.

With a blank mind, Xiang Yan let out a long shout, and resorted to the last move, attacking Ye Yu!

However, his sword only hit the blood spattered by him, and Ye Yu had already drawn his sword back.

Her body seemed to lose her center of gravity, but Xiang Yan still attacked Ye Yu with her sword.

——Until Ye Yu grabbed his helmet along with his head.

A generation of famous generals is finally getting old, and in the second half of the battle, he was unable to do what he wanted.

Ye Yu closed his eyes, took a deep breath in the smell of blood, opened his eyes and held Xiang Yan's head high and shouted: "Here is the leader of Xiang Yan, you should surrender quickly!"
