My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 467 A cloud-piercing arrow
Feng Wuze was almost trembling with fear.

This was the first time the Chu Kingdom was defeated. At least it was due to the king himself, but this time the king gave the prince so many soldiers and horses, and also assigned so many generals to the prince.

If we still lose this time, someone will really die.

So who is the first person to die?

To convince the public, a high-ranking and powerful person must die. Otherwise, who can save the life of the king's beloved son?

Then you are the only one.

Feng Wuze is afraid!

Wang Ben's eyes were shining brightly, "General Feng, don't be impatient. The original planning point of this battle was not on the city father. Have you forgotten what our original military plan was?"

Feng Wuze came back to his senses and looked at each other with everyone.

"Could this initial military plan be..."

This time it was different, it rained when it should rain and it was sunny when it should be sunny.

Chutian is thousands of miles away and autumn is clear, and the water goes with the sky and the autumn is endless.

On the top of the city, the guards guarding the city put their Changge on the top of the wall, and the brothers sat down around the wall to play Liubo.

In front of this magnificent city is a stone plaque with Cai written on it.

The Chu people living in Xincai City are immersed in the good weather after the rain. Pedestrians came and went on the street, pushing carts out to sell goods.

The water vapor on the ground began to evaporate rapidly, and white vapor rose upwards.

Gradually, the soldiers on the city began to become alert from their leisurely daily lives.

The soldier who was fishing on the top of the city accidentally caught a glimpse of birds flying in flocks in the distant mountain forest, especially the birds, which were all hovering in the sky in dense numbers. It was a very rare sight.

Not only that, all the trees in the mountain forest started to move.

People living here don’t have to worry about food and clothing.

Immediately, the time of a stick of incense passed.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Xincai.
-
At this moment, thousands of miles away, on the shore of Sanshui.

A broad and majestic city sits quietly on a green field.

These soldiers naturally relaxed their guard.

When the scouts got the news, they immediately ran to report to Li Xin and others.

When the scouts came back, they told Li Xin, "General, there are quite a lot of defenders in Xincai City, a total of five thousand people. But they are all careless, and they don't look like a country that has entered a wartime state. "

For a moment, the hair on the hair stood up in fear.

The streets are busy with traffic and very lively.

Feng Wuze stroked his beard. He looked at the map and couldn't help but sigh, "It's incredible!"

At this time, the sun has risen high.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw this scene, the general's teachings flashed in their minds.

This city was not originally called Cai because the Qin State annexed Xincai (Li Si's hometown), a city in the Chu State. Later, the Chu State moved its capital to Shouchun and named this place Cai.

"So, Li Xin is going to attack the capital of Chu State now?"

The Art of War says: If the trees are moving, it is coming; if there are many grasses and obstacles, it is doubtful.

For the 10,000 elite Qin troops who had been crawling at night, such weather was like the icing on the cake.

Feng Wuze suddenly figured out something and looked back at the confident prince, feeling a little ashamed in his heart.

Three miles away, several scouts wearing Chu clothes carried firewood and kept observing.

Therefore, people at that time called it Xincai.

Wang Ben smiled and said, "That's right. It's too late for Chu people to react now."

At this time, the soldiers had had a night's rest, and the early morning sun had dried their damp clothes.

"Look, there's something going on ahead!"

Xincai has a distinct climate with four distinct seasons and fertile soil. The Hong and Ru rivers run through the entire territory, making it fertile and wild for thousands of miles.

The news everyone received was that the prince of Qin personally led more than 300,000 Qin troops to confront the entire Chu army in the city.

Li Xin clearly remembered that during the last few days when he attacked Pingyu, the sky had been covered with dark clouds and gloomy.

Fusu moved the command stick southward from Chengfu and landed on Xincai. "I guess with Li Xin's marching speed, he has already arrived in front of Xincai City by this time."

It's just that the weather is sunny and people's mood is particularly good.

Although most of the men in the family went out to fight, life still had to go on and business still had to be done.

In fact, fighting has always been very difficult. Manly men don't care about this, they will go shirtless when their clothes get wet.

The two people on the city gate were playing chess.

When Li Xin heard this, he naturally looked up to the sky and laughed, "Okay! God help me!"

This means that the army came and cut down trees to clear the way, cut down trees to make weapons, and build camps. If you see the trees shaking, that means the enemy is coming.

All the soldiers stood on the top of the city with swords and bows.

I saw a sudden cloud of dust rising in front of me! High and fierce.

This is Chudi!

Even if a tornado blows, it may not be able to bring up the dust.

And the dust was not only blowing up in front, but the dust was also rolled up high. This showed that not only the enemy troops were coming, but they were also coming in chariots.

When the general guarding the city saw the situation, he panicked.

"Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!"

Attacking during the day naturally has its advantages and disadvantages.

However, the Chu army discovered that not long after, the sound of the Qin army's rolling chariots had already resounded around the city of Xincai.

Even the old women who lived in the city and were washing clothes by the river heard the sound of the earth shaking.

In front of Xincai City, the monstrous cloud of dust kept approaching Xincai.

The sound of carriages and horses became louder and louder, and at first it was just the sound of the earth shaking.

But soon, the neighing of horses spread from the distant air, and the sound of chariots galloping on the ground also came.

"What exactly is going on?"

The people in Xincai, Chu State, who were facing a catastrophe, heard this and were frightened in their hearts, but they inevitably prayed secretly, "Maybe it's our own army."

"I didn't know how to inform you in advance."

Before they could finish comforting themselves, suddenly, a black horse rushed out from the field.

Soon, more and more horses appeared on the arc-shaped field.

Rolls of black flags floated in the wilderness, with the word "Qin" written clearly on them.

Among the characters of Qin that Chu people know, the most familiar character is Qin.

For a moment, Chu Ren was completely panicked.

"Close the city gate!"

"Put down the horse pile!"

The general began to give random orders, and the soldiers began to run around on top of the city.

Sometimes, being in peace for a long time is not a good thing.

It is definitely not a good thing when the people of a country forget how to hold a sword.

"Enemy generals have their own names!"

The soldiers who defended the city had made a plan. They had to surrender first and then make other plans. Ever since he heard that Qin had brought 600,000 soldiers and horses to attack Chu, this wise and wise city-defending general used his clever mind to plan in advance the choices he could make when Chu was defeated and Qin's army came over.

Surrender first, then find a chance to escape, and then think about it in the long term.

The same goes for Li Xin. He will encounter different situations every time he fights and sieges the city.

Some generals would rather die in battle and bleed dry to prevent him from entering the city.

When some generals heard that the Qin army was coming, they first led their troops and fled with their wives and children.

This time it was new, he actually met a general standing on the top of the city shouting this.

"General, he wants us to report our names." The soldier in charge of taking the halberd on the chariot shouted.

The soldier responsible for driving Li Xin's chariot said angrily, "We are attacking the city in a surprise attack. Why does he act like we are fighting him on the battlefield?"

The corner of Li Xin's mouth raised, "Public name? You go to the underworld to sign up!"

Li Xin immediately fired his bow and arrow, aiming at the man in the most powerful attire on the top of the city.

This sharp arrow shot out and screamed in the empty sky and earth.

The sharp arrow passed through the sky and went straight to the eyes of the general who defended the city.

Before the general could react, he was hit by an arrow in the chest and fell down.

"I have captured the enemy general's head. Soldiers, charge forward!"

When the soldiers heard the sound, their morale was immediately boosted.

In a blink of an eye, they all ran to the front of the city.

When the soldiers of the Chu army saw that the Qin army was approaching fiercely and that their general was dead, they had no intention of fighting. They opened the city gates one after another and took the initiative to welcome Li Xin.

This is completely different from what Li Xin thought.

So much so that when the Chu soldiers took off their robes, put down their weapons, treated them respectfully, and invited Li Xin to come up to the city wall to speak, Li Xin always felt uncomfortable all over.

If this had happened in the past, Li Xin would never have let these Chu people live for so long.

But... Li Xin's goal now is not to kill the enemy army. His goal is to seize the city and make up for his past mistakes.

Behind him, Li Xin's soldiers expressed their dissatisfaction. They had killed less than a thousand people. Ten thousand people can't even get one head each, so how can we talk about getting a title?

But for the sake of the overall situation, Li Xin could only let them hold it in and endure it.

Li Xin was surrounded by Chu people and climbed to the top of the city. He first asked, "Can any of you report military information to your King of Chu?"

"No, no. Absolutely not." The soldiers were very panicked. Their hands were shaking when they spoke, and there were big beads of sweat on their faces.

"The general arrived so suddenly that we couldn't react in time."

Li Xin just looked at them and saw through everything.

Soon, the captains of Qin State took the opportunity to take Li Xin to another place to gossip.

"General, they are deceiving you. Even if they did not have time to report these things to the King of Chu, some of them must have escaped now. It is better to kill them, otherwise the soldiers will return empty-handed."

Li Xin looked at these captains and seemed to see himself when he was young.

Li Xin wore leather boots and stepped on the city wall. He held a sword in one hand, his long hair fluttering in the wind, and his red shirt also swayed in the wind.

Li Xin raised his eyebrows and said, "Someone must have reported the news. Even if we go to arrest them now, it is too late. The reason why I left these Chu people and did not intend to harm them is not because I have forgotten the original intention of the soldiers to fight with me."

"It's because I want to use these Chu people to lead us to attack Shouchun. We must cross the river on the way to Shouchun. These Chu people must know shortcuts and how to avoid the Chu army. defense."
