The sun sets and night falls.

The bright flames reflected the streets of Chen Ying's east city, covered with layers of corpses, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Report to General, Xiong Qi's body was not found!"

Meng Bao led a team of personal soldiers to come and report, feeling a little nervous.

"I see."

Meng Tian did not blame Meng Bao for leaving Xiong Qi, but just nodded and responded faintly.

Compared to Xiong Qi's news, Meng Tian was more worried about Li Xin's safety.

The rebel troops led by Xiong Qi knew that there was no way out and had a desperate battle with Meng Tian at the city gate.

After a fierce battle, Meng Tian, ​​who had better soldiers' quality, gradually gained an advantage.

When Huang Ji led reinforcements to come, Xiong Qi saw that the situation was hopeless, he took advantage of the night and decisively retreated with his confidant.

"The situation in Chen Ying should be stabilized at the moment. Huang Ji led people to chase and suppress the remaining rebels in the city. If there is any resistance, kill them without any worries!"

Chen Ying's rebellion was wiped out as soon as it started. The old Chu remnants who were hiding in the dark had to think about it if they wanted to launch a rebellion.

After receiving Meng Tian's order, Huang Ji led his army deep into the city and issued Meng Tian's order to martial law.

Many evil young men who took advantage of the chaos to rob and kill were immediately killed under the swords and halberds of the Qin army.

"Whoever is still walking around the streets, they will be killed no matter who they are!"

Huang Ji had a gloomy face and led his army like a strong wind. After the wind was swept, Chen Ying's streets were empty, and even a single chicken feather was left.

Chen Ying, who retained the strong Chu style in the folk customs, instantly realized the decisive killing of the Qin people in Guanzhong.

That night, Chen Ying was destined to be sleepless.

Chen Ying's Qianshou hid behind the wooden door of the house, and through the gaps between the doors and windows, he looked at the cold halberd under the fire, feeling uneasy.

An hour passed, and the Qin army soldiers outside the house did not break into the door. Occasionally, a few Qin army who wanted to invade the houses lost their heads in the ruthless eyes of the military officials.

The military officials in the Qin army were not scholars who were powerless, but real Qin soldiers.

It is equivalent to the military police force in later generations. Qin soldiers led by military law officials can immediately kill soldiers who destroy the military laws, and even grassroots officers with less than a thousand generals are no exception.

"General, the situation in the city is under control."

The sound of fighting in the city gradually dimmed. When Xiong Qi escaped, the fire caused by the chaos had been extinguished.

Meng Bao turned around and secretly blew a long breath.

At this time, Meng Tian’s heart was not as relaxed as it seemed on the surface. Like Meng Bao, Huang Ji and other generals, they just had to complete Meng Tian’s military orders, but Meng Tian had to consider it for a longer time.

Chen Ying's war requires quick battles and decisiveness to completely eliminate the signs of chaos in Chen, so as not to give the Chu people the opportunity to take advantage of it.

At this time, when Xiang Yan received news that Xiong Qi was preparing for a rebellion, it was impossible for Xiang Yan to lead his army to come and respond.

There was Xiong Qi rebellion inside and Xiang Yan's army attacked outside. If Li Xin's original marching plan was followed, I was afraid that the 200,000 Qin troops would have been packed with dumplings long ago.

"General, Mole and the others are back..."

In the corner of the street to the west of the East City Gate, under the dim light, a group of soldiers staggered over.

The team of about twenty people was silent and silent, with a hint of sadness on their faces.

"General, the last general is incompetent..."

The mole fell to the ground first, and the soldiers behind him knelt down one after another when they saw this, and several soldiers even cried loudly.

"We are incompetent and unable to protect General Li's safety..."

Meng Tian looked carefully and saw that these soldiers who were crying loudly were Li Xin's close confidants.

According to the Qin military law, if the commander general dies, he will need to kill him. Unless he fights forward to kill the enemy general, he will avenge him.

"Where is General Li's body?"

When he first heard this news, even Meng Tian, ​​who usually acted very calm, could not help but be surprised.

But this is the battlefield, Meng Tian was shocked for only a moment and soon calmed down.

The death of Li Xin will inevitably affect the morale of the Qin army. At this time, the Qin army was the most vulnerable.

"We fought to the death and took back General Li's body. The rebel general was also killed by us."

As a subordinate general of the army attacking Chu, when these short soldiers saw Meng Tian, ​​they seemed to have a backbone in their hearts. They quickly moved their bodies and carried a simple stretcher from behind.

Above the stretcher, Li Xin's body was quietly lying, and the blood in his body solidified together. There were both Li Xin's and enemies'.

Li Xin is brave in combat, has excellent martial arts skills, and is unable to hurt him.

The horse lost its hooves and the ship sank in shallow water. Li Xin, who was originally incredible, unexpectedly broke into the rear of Qin like Chen Ying.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Meng Tian frowned. From the wound on Li Xin's chest, it was obvious that one of the wounds was caused by a sneak attack.

Li Xin had more than a hundred close confidants around him, all of whom had experienced many battles and were in Chen Ying City. Even if he faced Xiong Qi's rebels and occupied the favorable terrain, he would have to support Meng Tian's reinforcements.

"Report to General, Changpingjun's servant led people to greet General Li. General Li was not careful. Unexpectedly, the servant suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed General Li in the abdomen..."

From Li Xin's description of short-distance combat, Meng Tian could roughly think of the war they encountered.

Xiong Qi's confidant, Wu Zhi, wanted to hijack Li Xin, but who is Li Xin? It is one of the few brave generals in the Qin army. Wu Zhi should have wanted to stab Li Xin first and then control Li Xin.

Unexpectedly, Li Xin reacted very quickly and immediately fought back, escaping Wu Zhi's pull.

A good kidnapping eventually developed into a close connection between the two armies.

Li Xin died, and the short soldiers behind him had no way out and could only fight to the death with the rebels led by Wu Zhi.

When the two armies were anxious, reinforcements led by Mole came and successfully killed Wu Zhi and regained Li Xin's body.

Just after taking a breath, Xiong Qi's defeated army came over and went through another fierce battle to make him look miserable now.

"You go down and rest first. Since you have killed the enemy general and taken back General Li's body, you will not be dealt with by military rule."

Meng Tian waved his hand, without any sense of victory. He quelled Xiong Qi's rebellion, but the Qin army chief Li Xin and the short-soldier captain Gui were both killed in battle. No matter how he calculated it, it didn't seem like a complete victory ending.

Li Xin died in battle. What should I do now?

Should the great cause of attacking Chu continue?

Meng Tian raised his head and looked at the direction of Chu State to the east, and fell into deep thought.

According to the custom of the Qin army, the lord general died in battle and before the monarch appoints a new lord, the general took over the military power until the monarch made a new decision.

While Meng Tian was thinking, he saw Jing Su holding a piece of silk cloth in his hand, with a solemn expression and hurriedly coming.

"General, our army is in trouble."

When he arrived in front of Meng Tian, ​​Jing Su immediately presented the silk cloth in his hand.

In the era without paper, Chinese people used bamboo slips as writing materials. Only special letters could use silk cloth. There is no way, silk cloth was too expensive and the aristocratic families could not consume it casually.

Meng Tian took the silk cloth stained with blood and a little burnt on the corners. Looking around, he saw that the Chu seal script of the State of Chu was written on it, similar to the tadpole text.

"The state of Chu, Xiang Yan, led an army of 400,000, and has entered Chen land..."
