The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 792 General Attack [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

"brother!"

Just when Ji Bu was busy and exhausted, he noticed a figure among the corvées who came to repair the city wall, and hurriedly trotted over.

"Hello, General!" When Bambu saw Ji Bu running towards him, he put down the work in his hands and clasped his fists calmly.

Just this unfamiliar salute made Ji Bu's words stuck in his throat.

"The city defense...can't be held. Find a chance to escape. The Qin army will not kill civilians!" Ji Bu stopped, said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, then turned and left.

Looking at Ji Bu's back as he turned and left, Bambu was silent for a long time, sighed deeply, and continued to move stones to repair the city wall. After all, he did not choose to stand with Ji Bu and fight side by side.

Late at night, several dark shadows quietly sneaked into the city along the city wall.

"Who?" Bambu, who was sleeping soundly in the corvée camp, suddenly opened his eyes.

Although he is no longer a general of the Chu State, he has not given up his martial arts and is still as vigilant as a warrior.

But before he could make any move, three figures had surrounded him in a Three Talents formation, with three long swords placed on his neck, wrists and calves respectively. As long as he dared to move, the three swords would make it impossible for him to move or speak.

"General Bambu, the young master invites you!" A dark figure walked into the tent, looked at Bambu and bowed.

The three assassins also retracted their swords.

"Three Hundred Swords in the Book of Songs!" Bambu narrowed his eyes slightly. Famous swords are very rare, and now four of them appear at once. Only the wealthy Changping Jun Xiong Qi can do it.

These people are exactly the team that Xiong Qi has developed over the years, the Three Hundred Swordsmen from the Book of Songs.

"Lead the way!" Bambu also knew that he could not resist under the siege of the four masters, and he would surely die if he resisted.

Shi Jing Sanbai Jian led Bambu to bypass all the visible and hidden sentries, left Shouchun City, and appeared on a small hill outside the city.

A figure has been waiting for a long time.

"I, Banbu, greet you, sir!" Banbu knew Xiong Qi, so he recognized the person in front of him at a glance.

"Shouchun can't be defended anymore. Why don't you turn to the light?" Xiong Qi turned around and looked at Bambura with sharp eyes.

Bambu frowned. He didn't want to get involved in the shitty affairs of the Chu State, but that didn't mean he would betray the Chu State. At least the King of Chu had done him a favor.

Seeing that Bambu didn't answer, Xiong Qi also knew what he was thinking.

"I don't force you to give me a reply now, but you are too much of a threat to Qin, so I can't leave you in the city. I'm sorry, General!"

Xiong Qi waved his hand, signaling the Shijing swordsman to take Banbu away and keep him under strict guard.

Although Bambu is not in the Chu army now, they cannot let such a hidden danger as Bambu remain in Shouchun City.

Bambu also guessed what Xiong Qi and Qin Jun wanted to do, but he could do nothing and could not resist, so he could only let the Shi Jing swordsman take him away.

But the hill did not become quiet again because of Bambu's departure.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, another graceful figure appeared on the hill.

"My lord, have you also betrayed the State of Chu?" Ji Bu looked at Xiong Qi with a frown.

He originally thought that Xiong Qi was captured by Bingzhou and the navy, but now it seems that Xiong Qi is not restricted in his movements and is obviously not a prisoner. In other words, Xiong Qi chose to surrender after being captured and then came to persuade him to surrender.

"I have never joined the State of Chu, so how can I say that I betrayed you?" Xiong Qi looked at Ji Bu calmly.

Ji Bu's eyes fixed, staring at Xiong Qi in a daze, "Why?" Ji Bu really didn't understand. Xiong Qi was the eldest son of King Wan of Chu, the eldest prince of Chu. Why would he surrender to Qin!

"Do you remember what I did when I returned to Shouchun?" Xiong Qi asked calmly.

Ji Bu frowned, and Xiong Qi brought him back to Shouchun from the navy camp, and then recognized the legal status of Prince Fu Chu. In exchange, Prince Fu Chu handed over all the people behind the murder of Queen Mother Huayang, as well as all the people who had designed to prevent Xiong Qi from returning to Chu.

Without exception, these people were taken away by Xiong Qi. As for their fate, one need not imagine it, because from that day on, Ji Bu never saw those people again.

"So, from the very beginning, the eldest prince came here for revenge!" Ji Bu finally understood.

Xiong Qi was just pretending to return to Chu. His real intention was to avenge Queen Dowager Huayang and seek revenge on those who framed him.

Everyone was deceived by Xiong Qi.

"I can understand that the eldest prince wants revenge, but why does he want to take the lives of 70,000 innocent soldiers at the cost?" Ji Bu asked angrily.

He could understand that Xiong Qi killed those who framed him and caused the death of Queen Dowager Huayang, but he should not have implicated the innocent lives of 70,000 soldiers.

Ji Bu cannot forgive this!
"Do you think I'm willing?" Xiong Qi's face also looked unhappy.

From the beginning to the end, he only wanted to deceive the Tenglong Legion and not the 70,000 soldiers he brought with him from Shouchun.

After he had tricked the Tenglong Legion into submission in his plan, he led his troops to withdraw to Shouchun, and what happened next had nothing to do with him.

Who could have thought that Bingzhou and the navy would actually target the 70,000 soldiers under his command.

In a field battle, 70,000 infantrymen against 100,000 Bingzhou Blood Cavalry, wouldn't that be a sure defeat?

He had immediately ordered his soldiers to give up struggling and try their best to save their lives. Otherwise, with the Bingzhou Bloody Cavalry's reputation of slaughtering people for three thousand miles, none of the 70,000 soldiers would survive.

What's more, if Shouchun sent troops to attack and retake Xiacai and Ruyin, wouldn't he be attacked from both sides by the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry?
Ji Bu also knew that the defeat of Xiong Qi's 70,000-man army was also closely related to Shouchun, so his eyes unconsciously lowered when he looked at Xiong Qi.

"The Qin army is preparing for a fierce attack, and the general can't hold on!" Xiong Qi continued.

"We have to defend it even if we can't!" Ji Bu said in a deep voice.

Even though he was disappointed with Shouchun, King Fu Chu of Chu and the entire court, it was Fu Chu and the State of Chu who gave him his current status and made him the number one general of Chu. This was a favor and he had to repay it, even if it meant paying with his life.

Xiong Qi shook his head and turned to look towards Shouchun.

Ji Bu had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, Ji Bu soon saw crowds of people outside Shouchun City. Under the light of the fire, elite Qin troops launched another siege.

"Where do you want to go, General?"

Ji Bu turned around and wanted to return to Shouchun, but unfortunately a figure appeared behind him, blocking his retreat.

"Military Control, Black Crow!"

Ji Bu saw clearly the figure blocking his retreat, raised his head and looked at Xiong Qi again, he had been fooled.

The Qin State is going to launch a general attack on Shouchun tonight, but he was tricked out of Shouchun by Xiong Qi, and now Shouchun is leaderless.

As for escaping from Mo Ya, Ji Bu never thought that even if Mo Ya could not kill him, he could still entangle him and prevent him from returning to Shouchun City.
