Zhao Changke outside Jiujiang City couldn't help being furious when he saw that he had been tricked by the Chu people twice in a row, causing thousands of people to die in vain under the opponent's arrows. Withdraw the troops and wait until the next day to lead the troops for revenge. "General, this time our army counted 380 dead and more than [-] wounded." The clerk reported by Zhao Changke's side.

"Understood, you go down." Zhao Changke said angrily. "Unexpectedly, the defender of the city is actually a scheming person in addition to being a good defender of the city. It seems that there is hope for the help of the white squad to break the city." After today's blow, Zhao Changke's confidence has been greatly reduced.

"General, general~" a soldier barged in while shouting.

"What's the matter? Such a fuss, could it be that the Chu people came out of the city to attack us?" Zhao Changke suddenly stood up and said.

"No...not." The soldier was obviously very excited, and after taking a few breaths, he said, "General Bai has arrived."

"Okay!" Upon hearing the good news, Zhao Changke hurried out of the tent, just in time to see Bai Ban walking towards his big tent surrounded by soldiers.He hurriedly greeted him and said, "Thank you, General, for coming to help."

Bai Ban cupped his hands slightly and said: "They are all generals of my Great Qin, why bother to say such a thing? How is the battle situation here?" He said and entered the main tent together with Zhao Changke.

After the two were seated, Zhao Changke sighed: "I can't do it, the general who defended the city won two games in a row today, and killed more than five people. I have been besieging the city for more than 20 days, but the city of Jiujiang is still unbreakable. "

"Who is guarding the city? They can actually face my Great Qin Army without defeat." Bai Ban asked.

"It was Yu Fulong, the prefect of Jiujiang City. Presumably he knew that if the city was broken, he would lose his life, so he resisted desperately." Zhao Changke said bitterly.

"The longer our army stays here, the more prepared the Chu people will be, and they may even bring reinforcements, so we must take down Jiujiang City in a short time." Bai Ban bowed his head and thought for a while before saying, "Since you just said that Yu Fulong was afraid of the imperial court's punishment, so he swore to defend the city to the death, then let the people in the city know that except Yu Fulong, everyone else can survive, so that no one will fight our army for him. "

"But won't the court blame me?" Zhao Changke hesitated.

"Now what Daqin really wants to deal with is the Chu people. This Jiujiang City is just a stumbling block on our way forward, and it will not be placed in our eyes. So as long as we take down Kuaiji and put the heads of King Chu and Xiang Liang on He won't care too much about other things in front of the emperor." Bai Ban said confidently.

"Okay, then what should we do?" Zhao Changke asked, and at the same time thought in his heart: "Anyway, if the court blames it, it is your idea, and it has nothing to do with me, and there is Zhao Gao who can help me, so I will do as you want." .”

Bai Ban thought for a while and said: "Now you order someone to write on the cloth that we only kill Yu Fulong and the others will not ask any questions, and order the archers to shoot into the city. I thought about it tonight, the army's morale will be shaken in the city, In addition, I will send troops together with you to scare them, then Jiujiang City will not be able to defend."

"Okay, I'll order someone to do it right away." Zhao Changke went out to find the clerk to write something after speaking.

The night is shrouded in Jiujiang City, and deep fear is shrouded in the hearts of the defenders in the city. The enemy's reinforcements have arrived. I am afraid they will attack here tomorrow. Will I be able to hold it by then?Most people thought it was impossible to hold on, including Fusu.Originally, he would be able to defend Jiujiang City for three days if he wanted to, but now that the number of enemies outside has increased, he is afraid that his side is about to collapse.Han Xin, who has always been calm, is helpless, even if there is a peerless star in the face of absolute disadvantage, there is nothing he can do.

Looking at the two silent people, Yu Fulong sighed and said, "Go down and rest, maybe General Xiang's reinforcements will arrive tomorrow." He was comforting Fusu and himself at the same time, but obviously it didn't work. not big.

Fusu left the prefect's mansion and returned to his own residence, feeling heavy in his heart. He didn't want to see Yu Fulong die here, but now he could do anything, and Yu Fulong would not leave here with him to go to Shangjun.Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door outside.Fusu opened the door and saw that it was Han Xin. He was holding a piece of white cloth in his hand with a serious expression on his face. "Brother Han, didn't you go to rest? Why are you here again?" Fusu asked while letting him into the room.

After Han Xin entered the house, he handed the cloth to Fusu and said, "I couldn't let it go, so I went to inspect the city. Unexpectedly, I saw Qin people shooting this thing into the city."

Fusu unfolded the cloth and looked at it, only to see that it said: "One hundred thousand troops are approaching the city, those who surrender will not be killed, only Yu Fulong will be taken, and the rest will not be asked." Although there are only 22 words of knowledge, the impact on people is great is great. "What a vicious strategy." Fusu said with a wry smile.

"That's right. In the Art of War, Sun Tzu says that a good fighter will subdue the enemy without fighting. Obviously the enemy wants to subdue us without fighting." Han Xin sneered, "Master Zhou, what do you think we should do?"

"It seems that more than one letter was shot into the city. I am afraid that the news will spread throughout Jiujiang City before dawn. By then, the morale of my defenders will be even lower, and there may even be defectors." Fu Su Nai said, "The only thing we can do is watch Jiujiang City being breached."

"Don't we have a solution?" Han Xin looked at Fusu expectantly, hoping to hear the words "There is a solution" from his mouth.But he was disappointed, Fusu didn't speak again, just shook his head. "Then let's report this news to Governor Yu, so that he can be prepared." Han Xin continued.

Fusu nodded and said, "You can take this thing to the prefect. I'll go to the top of the city to watch. I can't let the soldiers open the city and surrender at night." After speaking, he hurried out.

When he came to the city gate and saw that the city gate was still closed, Fusu heaved a sigh of relief: "It seems that we can survive tonight, but I don't know what will happen tomorrow." While thinking about him, he called the city guard The soldiers at the gate ordered them to guard them, while he himself sat down against the wall at the gate of the city.

"The agreed time with Peng Hong and the others is two days later, but judging by the situation, Jiujiang City can't be defended for two days. I should think of a way earlier." Fusu thought of this and wished that Peng Hong and the others would appear there now. In front of him, he left here and went to Shangjun with himself.But this is obviously unrealistic.

In fact, when the army of the day squad arrived, Peng Hong and the others knew that something was wrong. The number of people attacking the city was doubled, and the confidence of the defenders would be greatly reduced.Just in case, Peng Hong decided to enter Jiujiang City again and contact Fusu again, but this time it failed.Because of the arrival of reinforcements, the Qin people surrounded Jiujiang City even more tightly, and there were no gaps that could be touched before, so Peng Hong had no choice but to retreat.

Guo Quanzhong knew that Peng Hong had failed when he came back with a disappointed face, and comforted him: "After all, the prince is resourceful, and there may be a way to escape when the city is broken. As long as we respond outside the city, there is a possibility that we can leave here safely." Still big."

"Now we can only rely on God's blessing." Peng Hong looked towards Jiujiang City, and seemed to be able to see through the [-] troops and the thick city wall, and see Fusu.

The difficult night finally passed, the gate of the city was already full of soldiers guarding the city, Yu Fulong was encouraging them with a hoarse voice, and he also stayed up all night, after learning that the Qin people shot the letter, he Together with Han Xin, he also came to the city gate and stayed with Fu Su until dawn.

Fusu was thinking about how he could escape from Jiujiang City, so he didn't listen to Yu Fulong's words. At this time, tens of thousands of people shouted at the same time from outside the city: "One hundred thousand troops are approaching the city. Those who surrender will not be killed. Just take Yu Fulong alone, and don't ask anyone else!" The voice was so loud that everyone in Jiujiang City could hear it.Fusu woke up suddenly, looked up, and saw that every soldier had a look of fear on their faces, obviously they had been defeated by the Qin people's heart attack.

As the Qin people outside the city shouted a few more times, the fighting spirit of the soldiers became even lower.Then, the people of Qin began to attack Jiujiang City violently.Fusu and Yu Fulong climbed to the top of the city and saw thousands of crossbowmen in front of the Qin army shooting dense feather arrows towards the city. At the same time, under the cover of the arrow rain, several Qin people rushed towards My side.The archers in the city began to fight back, but because there were not enough arrows and the morale of the army was weak, they were not too powerful to hinder the Qin people.After a while, the Qin people's ladders had reached the city wall, and wave after wave of Qin troops climbed up the ladders.Although many soldiers toppled the ladder, causing the Qin soldiers on the ladder to fall to death, they couldn't stop more Qin soldiers from climbing.Soon, due to the fact that there were too many defensive points, dozens of Qin soldiers crawled in.If there is a loophole, it will spread to the entire city. In less than a meal, the Chu army and the Qin army started a hand-to-hand fight on the top of the city, and the Qin army outside was faster because they did not stop the city. .

Fusu killed a Qin soldier who was in front of him with a sword. Looking around, he saw that the Qin army on the top of the city was already more numerous than the Chu army. If it falls, it will be the city gate, and then the entire Jiujiang City.So he retreated while fighting, and went to the retreat route he had already planned, hoping that he could escape from the city before the Qin people entered the city in large numbers.Suddenly Han Xin's shout came from not far away, and he was also fighting with three Qin soldiers with a knife in his hand.

When Fusu saw it, he rushed over and stabbed one of them to death, then said to Han, "Come with me!"

With Fusu's help, Han Xin's pressure was relieved, and he hurriedly fought with Fusu and retreated. Before he knew it, the two had retreated to the northwest corner of Jiujiang City, and the army of the Qin people had completely entered the city. .
