Ni Chu

Li You's words caused a commotion among the Qin army, and the Qin army who hadn't gathered here also learned what he said from their companions, and there was chaos on the city wall, and people's noises were everywhere.

"My lord, do we really have no way out?" A veteran standing at the front supported his body with a spear. One of his legs had been cut off by the Chu army during the battle, and the only remaining leg was growing. Supported by the spear, he asked Li You trembling slightly.

Li You shook his head and said to the veteran: "Brother, you are a good person. In the battle, each of you was very brave and did not embarrass our Daqin soldiers. I don't want to deceive you. Kou surrendered, I can open the city gate now, maybe they will spare your life. If you are unwilling to surrender, then defend the city with me until you die in battle!"

His words were so sad that some Qin Jun, who were emotionally fragile, couldn't hold back their sadness and cried out after hearing his words.

Li You didn't reprimand those Qin Jun who were crying bitterly. Perhaps one day later, these people would die in battle here. He had no right to stop a group of people who were about to die crying bitterly for their own fate.

He stood silently and closed his eyes slightly. Qin Jun's loss was the last thing he wanted to see, but he had to face such a scene. There was a voice in his heart that kept echoing. To lie to these brave warriors that reinforcements will come is not a morale booster, but a crime, a crime against a group of warriors who are sure to die.

After a long time, the Qin army gradually stopped crying. A young soldier suddenly stood up, raised the spear in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, since we have no way to retreat, surrender is also death, and death in battle It's also death, why not fight with the gang of bandits in the city, fight for one to earn money, fight for two to earn one!"

The soldier's shout was like a stone thrown into the lake, which immediately caused ripples in the Qin army.Many Qin soldiers also stood up and shouted after this soldier: "Xiang Yu fought and never kept any prisoners. We surrendered to them. We are undoubtedly seeking our own death. It is better to listen to this little brother. Everyone fights with them!"

"Fight it! Fight it!" Almost all the Qin soldiers stood up. They raised their weapons high and shouted loudly, enduring exhaustion and pain.

Li You's eyes were moist, and he felt uncomfortable as if his throat was stuffed with a ball of sackcloth. He choked up and pressed his hands on Qin Junxu twice, saying: "Soldiers, I thank you for your bravery. If the soldiers of Daqin Just like you, my Great Qin will last for thousands of years!"

His words did not resonate with the Qin army. After a long time, a soldier stood in the crowd and shouted loudly: "My lord, we are not fighting for Daqin. Daqin is no longer what it used to be. It is not worth it." We die for it! We are fighting for our loved ones in our hometown, and we are fighting for the last dignity before dying."

Li You nodded and did not refute the soldier's statement. He took the spear from a soldier standing in front of him, raised it high, and shouted to all the Qin soldiers: "For the relatives in the hometown, for the last Dignity, fight!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" All the Qin army followed Li Yougao and shouted with their weapons up. Their shouts passed through the heavy rain to the camp where the Chu army was stationed.

"Fight of trapped beasts!" Xiang Yu stood in the big tent with his hands behind his back, listening to the shouts from Yongqiu City, the corner of his mouth twitched and said contemptuously.

Yu Ji held one of Xiang Yu's arms with both hands, leaning her head on his arm.She didn't speak. From Xiang Yu's expression, she could see that Xiang Yu had an inexplicable respect for the Qin army guarding Yongqiu, but the proud Xiang Yu didn't want to admit it.

After returning to the camp, Xiang Ye and Meng Su sat face to face.They have been sitting for a long time, the two of them have not spoken, they just looked at each other silently.

"You went to war with Xiang Qing, why didn't you take me with you?" After a long time, Mengsu pursed his lips, as if mustering up a lot of courage, he said, "Do you know that I worry about you all day long? "

Xiang Ye didn't speak, he lowered his head, not even daring to look into Mengsu's eyes.

He is a person who is very afraid of trouble, especially afraid of being entangled in many complicated things, and unable to choose how to face it.

In Xiang Ye's view, the relationship with women is an extremely troublesome thing. If there is only one woman, he thinks he can handle it, but there are two people who like him at once, and The woman with whom he has made a lifelong agreement.

The two women were jealous, fought secretly, and even intentionally or unintentionally expressed displeasure that he had another woman, which made Xiang Ye feel like a big head.Originally, he and Mengsu's relationship developed quite well, but somehow Xiang Qing fell in love with him again. The originally simple relationship life suddenly became complicated.Not only Meng Su and Xiang Qing were suffering, even he felt that dealing with two women at the same time was a bit overwhelming.

"Why don't you talk?" Xiang Ye was silent, but Mengsu didn't intend to let him go, she looked at Xiang Ye closely, her tone became a little dignified: "You go out with her, do you know that I will be sad? When you are fighting the enemy desperately, the woman who is by your side is not me."

Xiang Ye pursed his lips, lowered his head and dared not respond to Mengsu's question. Before Mengsu and Xiang Qing, he had never had this kind of relationship with any woman, and he didn't know how to deal with this kind of emotional entanglement.

"You promise me that as long as you go to the battlefield in the future, you must take me with you!" When Xiang Ye didn't know what to say to Mengsu, Mengsu moved two steps closer to him, and looked at him without blinking Said: "No matter what you are doing, please remember that I will be your wife in the future."

Xiang Ye nodded mechanically, and remained silent for a while before saying to Mengsu: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest!"

After Meng Su left, Xiang Ye lay on the straw mat, and it took a long time before he gradually fell asleep.

When the first ray of dawn wiped out a fish-belly white in the eastern sky, the horn of assembly sounded in the barracks.

With the help of his own soldiers, Xiang Ye put on his armor. When he came to the place where the army was assembled, he found that Xiang Yu had divided the original five troops into six. Qing, Meng Su, Wei Feng, Bai Fu and others were all riding on horseback, standing at the front of the queue and looking at Xiang Ye who had just arrived.

Xiang Yu, who was standing as the chief general, gestured to Xiang Ye, asking him to stand at the forefront of the newly divided team.

After Xiang Ye stood up, Xiang Yu straightened up and shouted to the whole army: "We have fought against Yongqiu City for three days. In these three days, we have lost many soldiers, but we have never captured Yongqiu! General Xiang Ye , Because of the meritorious service in offering a plan to burn the city wall of Yongqiu, they are specially appointed as acting generals to exercise the post of generals. Today, the task of attacking Yongqiu will be entrusted to them! Do the troops have any objections?"

After the Chu army heard that Feng Xiangye was the acting general, they all whispered to each other, and Ying Bu, who was in charge of commanding the attack on Yongqiu the next day, frowned even more, showing some disapproval.

Zhongli Mo and Yu Ziqi had no expression on their faces, neither joy nor dissatisfaction could be seen.Long Qie grinned and slapped his hands non-stop. He saw Xiang Ye resisting the Qin army with a small number of troops outside Puyang City, and he recognized Xiang Ye's ability.

There was a snow-white sackcloth tied on Ji Bu's shoulders, and there was a bit of shame on his face. He always blamed himself for Yongqiu's inability to attack for a long time, thinking that if he could break through the city defense on the first day, he would not die. Many brothers.

Xiang Ye quietly listened to every word Xiang Yu said, and there was no trace of joy on his face.He turned against Liu Bang and defected to Xiang Yu, and now Xiang Yu has named him a acting general. As long as Yongqiu is defeated, the word "Dai" in front will be canceled soon.

In this way, he was completely tied to the same vine as Xiang Yu, and he also irrationally chose a force that was doomed to fail in the future historical process.He didn't think it would be any good to be a general under this force. A few years later, when Liu Bang rose, he and everyone here would have to accept the shame of defeat, and because of his personal enmity with Liu Bang, There is little possibility of going back.

After Xiang Yu announced the appointment of Xiang Ye as the acting general, he waited for a while and saw that no one objected. He waved his hand and said to the whole army: "Follow me to attack the city!"

After the Chu army laid down a good team in Yongqiu City, Xiang Ye got Xiang Yu's order to attack the city. Instead of ordering the army to attack the city wall immediately, he rode his horse towards the city wall of Yongqiu alone.

"What does he want to do?" When Xiang Ye rode his horse towards the city wall, many people in the Chu army were whispering to each other, discussing his strange behavior.

"Xiang Ye, General of the Great Chu Dynasty, asks Li Yuli, the governor of Sanchuan County of the Great Qin Dynasty, to come out and speak!" When he arrived at the foot of the city, Xiang Ye reined in the reins, stopped his horse and shouted to the city.

After his shout fell, a Qin army general on the city poked his head out and shouted at him: "Our Lord Li said that he did know a warrior named Xiang Ye before, but he didn't know the one named Xiang Ye." Bandits, please go back! If you slow down, our army will shoot random arrows and shoot you into a dead hedgehog!"

Xiang Ye smiled wryly, and said to the general of the Qin army on the city: "Please tell Mr. Li that I will break through Yongqiu City this afternoon, and I will still accept your surrender at that time!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and rode his horse back to the Chu army's battle formation.

After returning to the formation, Xiang Ye raised one hand high and shouted to the Chu army behind him: "Start attacking the city!"

The layout Xiang Ye made was completely different from the previous few attacks. He asked the soldiers to tightly tie the two siege ladders together with hemp rope to form a triangular ladder frame.
