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

Chapter 603 How dare you bully me like this! The coach is too kind!

Su Jiao's horse was treading water with increasing agitation.

However, the reins of its destiny were firmly grasped by Ying Chengyu, preventing it from moving forward at all.

It could only watch as its owner ran forward happily like a runaway Alaskan Malamute.

"Prizes, charge and seize the city!"

Leading his troops and horses, Su Jiao strode forward and kept shouting: "The righteous soldiers in the city must hold on!"

"Hold on!"

Xiang Yan unconsciously approached the city wall, his eyes fixed on Su Jiao's troops, and he hurriedly ordered: "Catch the crossbow arrows and shoot into the uninhabited area."

"The soft bow throws the enemy soldiers."

"Be sure to make enough false impressions!"

"Whether this battle can be successful or not depends on this moment!"

There was a continuous sound of bowstrings exploding from the top of the city, and they were ready to intercept Su Jiao's troops at all costs.

But in fact, the arrows all over the sky failed to kill several soldiers of Su Jiao's troops, lest Su Jiao's troops withdraw due to excessive losses.

Xiang Guan was even more surprised and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Please Qin Qipaoze speed up the march!"

"We will definitely try our best to stop the violent Chu soldiers and horses and guard the city gate for Da Qi!"

Under the watchful eyes of Tu Sui who was resentful and angry, Xiang Yan who was expectant and anxious, and Xiang Guan who was excited and surprised, Su Jiao's men maintained a straight marching posture and ran towards the gate of Xiapi City.

But just when Su Jiao was only ten feet away from the gate of Xiapi City, and was about to enter the Wengcheng, Su Jiao's men suddenly turned to the southwest, brushing against the city gate and heading towards the city wall!
Xiang Guan shouted in shock: "Paoze, where are you going?"

"Come quickly and get the city gate!"

Su Jiao took the time to turn around and shout: "Justice Lao, continue to hold on!"

"There are people from behind who will come to guard the city gate on your behalf!"

"You righteous heroes, you must hold on!"

While shouting and shouting, Su Jiao's men had already reached the city wall, and even inserted the ladder in their hands into the ground and threw it towards the city wall!

Xiang Yan angrily punched the city wall and shouted angrily: "Young man, how dare you bully me like this!"

Su Jiao said that it was okay to deceive ghosts, but trying to deceive Xiang Yan was actually just a dream.

Xiang Yan could conclude that the Qin and Qi coalition forces must have seen through Xiang Yan's ambush in the city.

However, the Qin general did not sit idly by. Instead, he took advantage of Xiang Yan's intention to lure the enemy deeper and let Su Jiao's men pretend to fall into the trap. They crossed the section with the most casualties with almost no injuries and rushed to the city wall unharmed. down, and even got on a ladder!
This shameless and childish behavior must not be Wang Jian's handiwork.

Ying Chengyu has indeed begun to dominate the army again.

But the first thing Ying Chengyu did after taking charge of the army was to slap Xiang Yan!

Taking a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, Xiang Yanqiang commanded rationally: "Close the city gate!"

"All soldiers in the city must leave their houses and go up to the city to garrison."

"Instruct Zhaohuang's troops to turn towards the south gate."

"Instruct Xiang Han's troops to turn towards the south gate, escort Zhaohuang's troops into the city, and then continue to return to Jushan to defend, and they are at loggerheads with the city defenders."

“Stick to procrastination!”

Xiang Yan's order means that Xiang Yan will no longer try to lure the enemy deep into the city by exposing the emptiness in Xiapi City. It also means that the Chu army's tactics tonight have completely failed!
Thinking back to Pao Ze who was burned to death in the camp of the Qin and Qi coalition forces, all the Chu generals could not help but feel sad.

They all died in vain!
Qu Huan couldn't help but spat: "It's his mother's fault!"

"close the door!"

With a gloomy face, Xiang Guan waved his hand to order his subordinates to put away their weapons, ran forward, and pushed up the gates of Xiapi City and Wengcheng City with his own hands.

Tu Sui:! ! !
Seeing that Xiang Guan's and Qu Huan's troops immediately stopped their troops, Xiang Guan even came to close the city gate in person. Listening to the sudden increase in screams from Su Jiao's troops, Tu Sui whispered in disbelief: "Your mother Maid!"

"They are not righteous soldiers, but Chu troops?!"

"That empty city gate is actually an ambush for our army?!"

Nao Dan exclaimed: "Fortunately, we just followed the general's order and exited Xiapi City."

"Otherwise, our army may be completely wiped out!"

Just now, Tu Sui and Naodan even mistakenly thought that Ying Chengyu forced them to retreat in order to hand over the credit for being the first to reach Su Jiao.

But now, when Tu Sui and Naodan looked at each other, they could see the deep fear in each other's eyes.

Tu Sui tightened his grip on the reins and said in a broken voice, "I almost made a big mistake this time!"

"After the war, I will have to apologize to the coach."

"Soldiers, kill this unit quickly, and then cooperate with the friendly forces to attack the city and atone for your sins!"

While shouting and shouting, Tu Sui's troops accelerated the encirclement and suppression of Zhaohuang's troops.

The officers and soldiers of the Qin army also crossed Tu Sui's headquarters and launched a fierce siege against the wall of Xiapi City!
It wasn't until the sun shone on the earth again that the Qin-Qi coalition finally retreated.

Holding the city wall with both hands, Xiang Yan looked down at the pile of corpses outside the city. A large amount of white hair seemed to suddenly appear on the top of his head.

Zhaoxiang and other Chu generals stood behind Xiang Yan, looking at Xiang Yan with different expressions.

A battle at Helu City made the Chu generals and Chu dignitaries realize that even if Xiang Yan lost consecutive battles, he was still the most capable general in Chu.

But a battle between Qin and Qi to attack Chu made the Chu generals and Chu dignitaries realize that even if Xiang Yan was the most capable general in Chu, he would still lose consecutive battles in front of Ying Chengyu!
Trust is gradually crumbling.

Confidence is also rapidly fading.

"Ah~"

Suddenly, a faint sigh sounded on the battlefield.

Xiang Yan turned around and glanced at the generals with a tired and tired look: "Generals, you should know that according to my general strategy, I intend to start a decisive battle with the Qin-Qi coalition forces in October."

"Of course, once the king's order is given, I dare not disobey it!"

"The general wanted to break out last night, but he discovered many enemy ambushes. Unless our army is willing to lose most of the troops, it is almost impossible to escape." "The general wanted to lure the enemy deep last night in order to fight for a decisive battle. Mr. Qin Chang'an But he is more patient than Ben."

"Because Lord Qin Changan knows that although he is impatient, this general has a reason to retreat!"

"Based on my ability, I am really unable to defeat Lord Chang'an of Qin and General Jian of Qin when internal and external troubles arise."

"After this battle, I will go to the king to apologize."

"If there is any general who has the ability to command the king's orders, I will be willing to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy."

Xiang Yan's words caused the entire audience to fall silent.

Everyone can hear that there is only one core idea in Xiang Yan's words, and that is to shift the blame!
Why was there such a big defeat last night?

It’s all the fault of King Qi of Chu!

But all the generals were speechless to refute.

If not for the sudden strong order from King Qi of Chu, the Chu army and the Qin-Qi coalition would definitely have continued to confront each other. How could they have suffered such a defeat? !
As for the rear crisis faced by King Qi of Chu?

In the eyes of the generals, hasn't Xiang Yan already given a solution?

Even if Xiang Yan's plan can only delay but not cure, the worst thing is that Helu City will be breached.

For the sake of Chu, what would happen if King Chu Qi died?

For a time, the generals' dissatisfaction with Xiang Yan began to shift towards King Qi of Chu.

As for Xiang Yan's so-called willingness to abdicate, no one even agreed.

As long as there is a Chu general who thinks he is better at fighting than Xiang Yan, it is impossible for Xiang Yan to continue to take command after successive defeats!

Xiong Liu said with a firm voice: "The failure of this battle is not the fault of Shangzhu Kingdom!"

"Actually, it's because I, the Great Chu Chaotang, gave wrong orders without knowing the battle situation on the front line."

"When I return to the court, I will speak for the separation of Shangzhu Kingdom!"

Qu Huan and other generals also suppressed their doubts about Xiang Yan and agreed one after another.

Xiang Yan bowed her hands gratefully: "Thank you, everyone!"

Qu Huanqiang smiled and said: "This is what we should do, why should we thank you?"

"It's just that there are royal orders and powerful enemies outside. What should our army do next?"

Xiong Liu took the initiative to speak: "I thought that even if our army wanted to go south to the Huaihe River, it would not be able to break through the enemy's blockade."

"Due to the tight situation of the war, our army can only disobey the king's order and stick to Xiapi City!"

"Besides this, do you guys have any good ideas?"

All the generals looked at each other, speechless.

Xiang Yan sighed softly: "What Commander Xiong Liu said is true."

"At this point in the war, our army has no other strategy!"

"I will report the situation of this battle to your Majesty. Your Majesty Wanwang will understand."

"It's not that we don't obey the king's order, but it's actually our army that can't obey the king's order!"

Xiang Yan suddenly raised his voice and spoke firmly: "As long as your Majesty is willing to give our army enough time, even if our army suffers repeated heavy losses, we will definitely win!"

The generals were not firm in their hearts, but on their faces they suddenly gave up: "Wei!"

……

at the same time.

West of Xiapi City.

Looking at the closed gate of Xiapi City, Ying Chengyu frowned slightly: "Why does this battle feel so awkward?"

"Is it because the state of Chu Shangzhu is only good at strategy, but not at clever plans?"

Xiang Yan's performance in this battle was subpar!

Wang Jian abruptly changed the subject: "After this battle, the State of Chu Shangzhu has finally given an account to the King of Chu."

"The King of Chu will not and dare not order Chu Shangzhu to lead his army south immediately."

"Next, our army will have a long-term confrontation with Chu Shangzhu State in Xiapi City!"

Ying Chengyu frowned: "If the battle situation really develops like this, it will be very detrimental to our army!"

"If the war is delayed for too long, the internal problems of our army will explode."

"By then, even if our army's strength is several times that of the Chu army, it will still be difficult to defeat the Chu army!"

Wang Jian agreed: "This is what Chu Shangzhu wanted."

Ying Chengqiu looked at Xiapi Cheng with his eyes full of concentration, thinking carefully.

Wang Jian did not disturb Ying Chengyu, but waited quietly.

After a long time, Ying Chengyu suddenly spoke harshly: "Our army is harassing the enemy's rear, but Chu Shangzhu's country is indifferent."

"But if Helu City is in danger of falling again, can the State of Chu Shangzhu remain as indifferent as it is now?"

Ying Chengyu's expression was a little ferocious.

But Wang Jian calmly commented: "The coach is a little too kind."

Ying Chengyu's face froze.

After another dozens of breaths of silence, Ying Chengyu finally spoke: "I will lead one hundred thousand troops south to Helv City."

"All remaining troops, including Meng Tian's troops, will be placed under the command of the general."

“Once the opportunity is met, take action immediately!”
