My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 571: Do you think I am the same as before? Life and death, destiny and wealth are in heaven!
April 16th.

The sediment content in the Silt River is so high that the water in the river is muddy and yellow like rolling silt, hence the name Silt River.

However, the current Silt River no longer deserves the name of Silt.

The originally muddy yellow river water has been dyed black and red by the blood of an unknown number of people.

There are bridges made of floating corpses on the long river, so it is almost possible for people to walk there!
Starting from the Silt River and heading north all the way, there are stumps and broken arms wherever we go.

When we arrived at Judu, we could see corpses stacked up with Judu as the center, raising the ground around Judu.

On top of the pile of corpses, a Chu soldier was climbing up the ladder.

Then the Qi troops on the city might be kicked off the city wall and mixed into the pile of corpses.

Or use your own body to contribute to this pile of corpses!

"Great Chu will be victorious! Take back Judu!"

"Quickly kill the Chu army. This is our capital of Da Qi! Protect our territory of Da Qi and fight to the death!"

"Reinforcement! Hurry! Our troops have boarded the city! Reinforcements are coming quickly! Come quickly! Ah!!!"

"In order to repay the king's kindness, why not be afraid of death! All officers and men, follow me and kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"

On the city of Judu, crows crowed. Although they were afraid of the power of the arrows and the roar of the crows, they did not dare to fall down, but they had already gathered into a flock of tens of thousands of crows. As soon as the war stopped, they would rush down to enjoy this delicious feast.

In the south of Judu City, Xiang Yan was trampling a naked corpse on his horse, carrying Xiang Yan to look at the battlefield.

Blood and death crashed into Xiang Yan's pupils without any cover, but they couldn't make any waves in Xiang Yan's heart.

Xiang Yan just said calmly and softly: "It's slow."

A few dozen breaths after the words were spoken, a Chu army that broke into the southern wall of Judu was ruthlessly killed by the Qi army on the city, and their corpses fell to the ground one after another.

However, a smile appeared on Xiang Yan's face: "Sure enough, they are tired."

With the sound of horseshoes rolling, Lieutenant General Qu Huan came on horseback. From a long way away, he shouted excitedly: "Shangzhu Kingdom! General Jingchou has arrived with reinforcements!"

The smile on Xiang Yan's face became more sincere: "Hurry up and invite General Jing's troops into the camp!"

Soon, Jingchou led dozens of generals on horseback to join the central army. Facing Xiang Yan, he cupped his hands and shouted: "General, please pay homage to Shangzhu Kingdom!"

Xiang Yan laughed happily: "Hahaha~ I never thought that the king would actually order Sima Jing to lead his army to help!"

"Now, with the combined strength of you and me, we will definitely be able to defeat Lord Qin Chang'an!"

Jingchou said in a deep voice with fire in his eyes: "The general has been defeated repeatedly in battles, which has caused our great Chu state to lose troops and generals. It has also caused many of my Jing family's children to suffer many battle losses, even the eldest son of the general..."

Xiang Yan's smile also faded away.

Jingchou's eldest son was only captured.

But his eldest son, Xiang Yan, was killed!

When it comes to hatred, Xiang Yan only hates Ying Chengyu much more than Jing Chou!

Jingchou couldn't bear to continue speaking, choked with sobs, paused for a moment, and then his voice became thicker: "In this battle, Qin Chang'an was brave, but he led Qi's weak army. On the other hand, our great Chu, the king actually sent 250,000 troops to reinforce Shangzhu. ”

"The last general also led more than 3,000 of the Jing clan's sons to participate in the battle."

"This battle may be a great opportunity for us to avenge our past humiliation and turn defeat into victory."

"No matter how heavy the price is, I will only ask for the blood debt of Qin Chang'an to be repaid with blood!"

The Jing clan, which had more than 7,000 young men five years ago, had only more than 4,000 young men left after the two Qin-Chu wars.

In order to win this battle, Jingchou only left more than a thousand young men to protect the family and preserve the fire, and all the remaining warriors came to the front line.

It can’t be said that we are not decisive!

Qu Huan couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "I have been a great Chu for hundreds of years, but have we never fought with such concerted efforts?"

"If I, Da Chu, could be as united as I am today many years ago, maybe this whole world would belong to me, Da Chu!"

"If our great Chu could have worked together like today's monarchs and ministers five years ago, he would not have invaded Qin by repeatedly expanding his territory and cutting off my great Chu!"

As soon as Xiong Qi heard that Qi State had invited Ying Chengyu to take command, he transferred all his standing troops to the north and immediately started a large-scale conscription.

Counting the 250,000 troops brought by Jingchou, Chu State has successively sent 610,000 troops to the northern battlefield!
Even after deducting the soldiers who have died in the battle so far, Xiang Yan still has 530,000 troops in his hands.

This is a force that the Chu State could hardly produce before the Jinghua Land fell!

There is no doubt that the current kings and ministers of Chu State are united, working together from top to bottom, and exerting the power of the whole country without reservation!
Qu Huan was over half a century old, but this was the first time he saw the dignitaries of Chu and the king of Chu united and working hard for a goal.

But when he thought about the enemy in this battle, Qu Huan felt that this should be the case!
The Chu State, which was relatively strong in the past, was forced to attack the capital twice by Ying Chengyu due to the disharmony between the emperor and his ministers.

If Chu State, which is becoming increasingly exhausted today, cannot unite as one and fight with all its strength, then perhaps the only thing waiting for Chu State is destruction!
Xiang Yan said solemnly: "The past is over, and I will not think that we should say more."

"Yes, this battle!"

"Our great Chu army is united and has many elite soldiers and generals. This is a great opportunity to defeat the enemy!"

"I would like to ask you all to fight to the death!"

"I also promise here that I will not behead Lord Qin Changan, Xiang Shang, and Xiang vows not to return the throne!"

Jing Chou, Qu Huan and other generals roared in unison:

"Wan Sheng!"

Further away, more than 200,000 veterans and more than 200,000 reinforcements also shouted:

"Wan Sheng!!!"

The roars of more than 500,000 soldiers with the same goal echoed hundreds of miles away, making the Qi army soldiers huddled in Judu City tremble in their hearts.

Jingchou bowed his hands and saluted again: "Shangzhu Kingdom, our army has just arrived. It is a time when morale is available and energy is high."

"The last general invites you to fight!"

Xiang Yan shook his head: "It's not time for you to go to war yet."

"What you have to do now is to set up camp immediately and take a good rest."

Jing Chou was slightly startled: "General, it will be quite difficult for me to watch this battle." "Shangzhu Kingdom doesn't need my troops to replace the troops immediately?"

Along the way, Jingchou saw too many corpses.

With a rough calculation, Jingchou knew that Xiang Yan had paid at least 60,000 people to conquer Judu!
From a distance, Jingchou could also see the tired faces and haggard expressions of the Chu troops who were attacking the city.

Obviously, those Chu troops were not elite soldiers and were already exhausted.

That's why Jingchou took the initiative to ask for the reinforcements he brought to be used for rotation.

In the end, Xiang Yan disagreed?
Xiang Yan smiled warmly: "Before hunting tigers, you must first throw some bait."

"The reinforcements led by Sima Jingda are mostly elite soldiers and should be treated as hunters, not as bait to be eaten by tigers and wolves!"

What does it mean if more than 60,000 soldiers died in battle?
The eldest son of this general has died for Da Chu!

As long as the general's tactical goal can be achieved, which is to kill hundreds of thousands of people, how can the general be moved?
Jingchou immediately understood Xiang Yan's plan, smiled and handed over his hand: "Then go and arrange the army here!"

……

at the same time.

The southern gate tower of Judu City.

Kuang Yong fell down under the gate tower pillar, breathing heavily.

The halberd in his hand was stained with blood, and his armor was also covered in blood.

But his ears were still listening to the various reports from the messengers, and he kept giving orders in a hoarse voice.

When Kuang Yong heard the shouts of the Chu troops outside the city, he stood up subconsciously, walked to the battlements of the city wall, and saw a large group of Chu troops entering the Chu army's camp!

Kuang Yong's voice was full of concentration: "The Chu army's reinforcements have arrived!"

Kuang Yong's son Kuang Hong whispered: "Looking at its size, there are at least more than 100,000 people!"

"The two Chu armies joined forces, and the Chu army numbered at least more than 400,000 people."

"Now we only have 50,000 remaining soldiers in Judu City!"

The enemy was nearly ten times outnumbered. Even in the offensive and defensive battles, the balance of forces was extremely exaggerated. It could basically be declared a failure.

Not to mention that there is a gap in the quality of soldiers between Qi and Chu.

How to fight this battle?
Kuang Hong sincerely persuaded: "Aweng, retreat!"

"This battle is unwinnable!"

Kuang Yong's voice was solemn: "My grandfather was just the son of a horse slave, but he was favored by the king and selected him as the chief minister of the dynasty."

"My father fought for the king. Although he died on the battlefield, he could not turn the tide."

"Your Majesty does not think that I, the Kuang family, are looking down upon you, but you still allow me to take the position of a senior official in the capital."

"How can I let down the trust of your Majesty?!"

"Even if you die in this battle, you will have no regrets!"

Kuang Hong said anxiously: "Ah Weng, according to the previous military report, the king has invited Lord Qin Chang'an to be our left prime minister of Qi and organize the army to go to war."

"Although I don't know why Lord Qin Chang'an still hasn't come to help today, I, Da Qi, will definitely still be able to fight!"

"There is no need to risk Aweng's life for this dead city!"

Kuang Yong waved his hand: "No need to say more."

"Since I have accepted the king's order to guard Judu, people will be in the city and people will die in the city!"

"The rest has nothing to do with me!"

Indeed, a large army has been organized in the rear. It seems that Kuang Yong does not need to defend Judu, but can retreat to look for reinforcements.

However, Kuang Yong did not receive an order to retreat. He only received an order to guard Judu.

In this case, how could Kuang Yong give up Judu and run away to survive!
Kuang Hong said sadly: "Aweng, I can't fight!"

"If we don't abandon the city and leave, we will all die here!"

"Even if we all die here, we will still be unable to defend Judu. Our deaths are meaningless. On the contrary, we will lose the strength of the Qi army in vain!"

After Kuang Yong was silent for a moment, he looked at the generals around him: "I have made up my mind to live and die with Judu."

"If you don't want to, you can leave on your own."

The middle husband Bu He said with a smile: "My ancestors once said: Life and death have destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven. A gentleman is respectful and courteous to others. He is a brother in the world. Why does a gentleman have no brothers?"

"The capital of Ju is in danger now. We are defending the city to be loyal to the king, to be righteous to the ministers, and to keep integrity for the people."

"Why worry about life and death?
"Why worry about the result?"

Around Kuang Yong, all the generals cupped their hands and smiled: "For the king's order, I will die without regrets!"

Kuang Yong's face was filled with joy, but a loud laugh came from not far away: "We will live or die to keep our promise."

"Doctor Kuangdu deserves to be a great scholar!"

Kuang Yong turned around following the sound and saw six men in armor boarding the city gate tower.

Kuang Yong was overjoyed and handed over his hands: "Brother Qidiao! Brother Gongyang..."

"You guys are here, are you trying to help me?"

After the lacquer carving ceremony returned the gift, he nodded solemnly: "When I heard that the reinforcements from the Chu army were arriving, I immediately ordered my disciples' family members to prepare their armor and rush to the city gate."

"If Qi Diao's prediction is correct, the Chu army is not far away from attacking!"

Kuang Yong also suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "Kuang and Brother Qidiao have similar thoughts."

"Kuang thought that the decisive battle would be tomorrow night!"
