Looking at this scene in front of him, Qin Shi Huang was completely stunned, what happened here?
He hurriedly grabbed a Qin soldier who hurriedly ran past him, his eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Why is there a big battle in Yingcheng, shouldn't your commander continue to lead the army to attack like the hinterland of Chu State now?" โ
When the soldiers saw Qin Shi Huang, they were stunned for a moment, and then tears poured out of their eyes uncontrollably, knelt on the ground and roared: "King, you are finally here." โ
Qin Shi Huang dragged the soldier out of the ground and shouted, "The widow asked you what happened here? โ
The soldiers around all recognized Qin Shi Huang, and at that moment, they couldn't help shouting one by one with the blades of the remnants: "The king, it's the king, the king is coming, why are your reinforcements here." โ
Looking at the Qin army around him with tattered armor and scarred bodies, Qin Shi Huang stumbled, almost fell to the ground, defeated, really defeated.
A Qin military captain with gauze wrapped around his head knelt down in front of Qin Shi Huang and said: "King, our army was originally going to meet General Meng Tian outside the city father according to the plan, but as soon as our army arrived at the city father, it encountered an ambush of 250,000 Chu troops, we fought with the Chu army for four hours, and we were defeated, and finally the old general Meng Wu led 3,000 dead soldiers, desperately stopped the Chu army, and only then did we kill a bloody road, but the old general also ....... Speaking of this, many Qin soldiers couldn't bear to bow their heads, and their lives were exchanged for Meng Wu and those three thousand brothers.
The captain endured the grief in his heart and continued: "In the end, General Li Xin rushed out with only our remaining more than 20,000 brothers, and returned to Yingcheng to hold on, hoping to wait for reinforcements, the king, the Chu army has attacked Yingcheng for two days and two nights, and General Li took his brothers to guard here for two days, and we now have more than 10,000 people left." โ
"How could it be....... Qin Shi Huang listened to the news in his ears with empty eyes, and the whole person stayed in place like a puppet, Li Xin was defeated, Meng Wu died, and there were only 10,000 people left in the 200,000 Qin army....... Wait, what about Meng Tian, what about your deputy commander Meng Tian?
"Great King, General Meng's position in the three hundred miles of the city father Yi was also ambushed by 200,000 Chu troops, and now, life and death are unknown, it may be ....... also died in battle"
"Fart !!" Qin Shi Huang roared angrily, Meng Tian was his most relied on general, how could he die in battle, not to mention these, in the past three months of getting along, he and Meng Tian had already changed from monarchs and ministers to friends, how could he accept Meng Tian's death in battle.
On the side, Huang Xiaowei heard that Meng Tian died in battle, and the whole person suddenly fell into a panic, Lao Meng died in battle, no, he couldn't die, he will be the commander of the 300,000 Mengjia army in the future, if he dies, what history will not ....... Huang Xiaowei thought of this, and the cold sweat instantly wet the clothes behind him, changing history, the way of heaven was originally meant to change history.
Fortunately, when Qin Shi Huang and Huang Xiaowei were in a panic, Cao Cao, who was accustomed to seeing countless winds and waves, patted the shoulders of the two very calmly and said softly: "Don't panic, calm down, the old man believes that his disciple will definitely not die so easily." โ
Huang Xiaowei and Qin Shi Huang glanced at each other and nodded silently.
At this time, the shouting and killing on the city tower suddenly weakened, and a Qin soldier shouted at the city: "The Chu army has retreated, pass the general's order, and all the soldiers will rest in place." โ
Hearing the news of the retreat of the Chu army, most of the Qin army had no joy on their faces except for numbness or numbness, and continued to transport wounded soldiers from the city wall, carrying weapons, like robots, only a few people breathed a sigh of relief, two days and two nights of non-stop attacks, they no longer know how many times they repelled the Chu army's attack, if they repelled the Chu army's attack at the beginning, they could still rejoice, but now....... It's just a matter of numbers, sooner or later Yingcheng will be broken, and they will all die here after all.
Qin Shi Huang didn't want to see this scene anymore, so he asked the captain to take him to see Li Xin, and the captain hurriedly led Qin Shi Huang towards the east gate, which was the most fierce and easiest place for the Chu army to attack, in fact, in the past two days, the Chu army relied on Yuwen Chengdu Pei Yuanqing and others to attack the city more than once, and Li Xin was like a nail, nailing himself and thousands of Qin troops to the north gate, as Meng Wu said, Li Xin is a general, or a very good general, but he has not experienced failure, A little too proud, like a jade, not yet finely carved.
.........
On the north city wall, Li Xin, who had repelled another wave of attacks by the Chu army, sat on the head of the city tiredly, looking at the corpses under the city, and the continuous camps in the distance, Li Xin smiled bitterly, calculating the time, at the latest, the king will receive the news of his defeat and asking for help, but can he still wait for the moment of reinforcements?
The last soldier next to Li Xin took a bag of air-dried barbecue and a pot of water and handed it to Li Xin's side and said, "General, take a bite, you haven't eaten for a day." โ
Li Xin waved his hand and said, "I'm not in the mood now, by the way, how many people are left, how many bows and crossbows and rolling logs are left?" โ
"Including the wounded soldiers, we probably have more than 11,000 people, 20,000 bows and crossbows left, and not many rolling logs."
Li Xin sighed leisurely: "After a while, I will send someone to demolish all the houses in the city and use them as stones, how about grain and grass?" โ
A smile appeared on the face of the pro-soldier and said: "This general can rest assured, not counting our original grain and grass, in the dwellings of this Yingcheng, there is already grain and grass for 50,000 horses and horses to eat for a month, and it is more than enough to supply us, but unfortunately before the Chu army withdrew, they transported all the ordnance and grain and grass here, if they didn't think that they could fight back in the future, I am afraid they would burn down the entire Yingcheng." โ
Behind Li Xin and on the city wall, there were dense arrows and said: "Send someone to collect all the crossbow arrows that are shot out of the city, and it can last one more day, and the other ....... Li Xin paused and said, "Is there any news of General Meng Tian?" โ
The soldier shook his head silently.
Li Xin didn't say anything, except that before entering Yingcheng, he lined up six fast horses and Xianyang to report the news, this Yingcheng was completely surrounded by the Chu army, even if Meng Tian was safe and sound, I was afraid that it would be difficult to kill him.
Let's think about how to defend Yingcheng before the reinforcements come, Li Xin was thinking about what to do next, when a shocking roar suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Li Xin, why do you still have the face to sit here!!"
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and saw Qin Shi Huang, who had a blue face, walking towards him angrily, still holding a long knife in his hand, King, why is he here? Li Xin was inexplicably surprised to see Qin Shi Huang, he was surrounded by the Chu army on all sides, but now he obviously didn't have much time for Li Xin to think.
Looking at Qin Shi Huang's angry appearance and the guilt of his defeat, the one-armed Li Xin hurriedly knelt in front of Qin Shi Huang, and did not dare to raise his head and said: "Li Xin is guilty, please punish the king." โ
Qin Shi Huang kicked Li Xin to the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know what you did wrong?" โ
"The last general was greedy for merit, which led to the defeat of our army, and tens of thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield."
Qin Shi Huang roared angrily: "Your biggest sin is to let General Meng Lao break the queen for you, Li Xin, do you know how much General Meng Lao has made for my Great Qin over the years, do you know how many years my Great Qin's unification of the world would have been postponed without him, do you know....... He's sixty-five years old!! The last sentence, Qin Shi Huang almost roared out.
Hearing Qin Shi Huang mention Meng Wu, Li Xin's eyes were red, and he kowtowed three times to Qin Shi Huang with tears on his face and said: "King, everything is the fault of the last general, it's the last general I'm sorry for the old general, you kill the last general." โ
Qin Shi Huang looked at the somewhat yellowed sky, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes: "Okay, the widow will fulfill you, just say it, Qin Shi Huang raised the long knife in his hand."
"The king can't, several Qin soldiers hugged Qin Shihuang's thighs and arms and pleaded: "King, this is no wonder General Li, after General Meng insisted on breaking it for us, General Li refused, but we couldn't persuade the old general, and the king You also saw that General Li has lost an arm, if he hadn't taken us here these days, I'm afraid Yingcheng would have been broken a long time ago." โ
Qin Shi Huang looked at Li Xin's empty left arm, and there was a trace of unbearable emotion in his heart, and he threw the long knife in his hand aside and said coldly: "When this battle is over, the widow is taking your head." โ
Li Xin kowtowed heavily to Qin Shi Huang again, and choked up: "Thank you to the king at the end." โ
The matter has come to this, what can Qin Shi Huang say, besides, Li Xin has lost an arm, if he is not on the front line, how can he be like this, Qin Shi Huang waved his hand and said: "Get up, tell the widow how you were defeated, even if you are encircled, how can the combat power of my Qin army be comparable to that of the Chu army." โ
Li Xin said with a bitter face: "King Hui, although the Chu army is twice as numerous as ours and has taken our army by surprise, if there are no fierce generals to help, they will definitely not be able to force us to such a field." โ
Qin Shi Huang frowned: "Fierce generals, are there any other fierce generals in the Chu State?" โ
Huang Xiaowei and Cao Cao were also puzzled, fierce generals? It seems that there are still fierce generals in the Chu State....... Could it be that Xiang Yu came wearing diapers?
Li Xin said with a solemn expression: "King Hui does have, when the war started, the last general had fought with one of them for less than twenty rounds, and he cut off his left arm, if it wasn't for the last general to be agile enough, I'm afraid he would have died at his hands." โ
After listening to Li Xin's words, Qin Shi Huang asked: "Li Xin, your brave widow also knows, can someone in the Chu State really cut off one of your arms in less than twenty rounds?" โ
Li Xin said with a heavy expression: "Yes, the king's name is Yuwen Chengdu, and he uses a very strange weapon, not only him, but several other people are also very brave, and none of the generals in our army are their opponents." โ
Qin Shi Huang touched his chin and said to himself: "Yuwen Chengdu's name is quite familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere." โ
And at this moment, Huang Xiaowei was already stupid in place, he was able to cut off Li Xin's right arm in twenty rounds, and he also used a strange weapon, damn, it wouldn't be that Yuwen Chengdu!!
