"puff--"

On Yingshang, Huang Ji pulled out the iron knife that pierced the Chu army's body and spat on the temporary reinforcement of the city wall.

The Chu army's counterattack was crazy. The generals who led the troops were in a state of strife and took the initiative to retake Yingshang in one fell swoop.

The small Yingshang City is like a small boat in a storm, and it seems that it may capsize at any time.

"Tell me the order that the garrison commander in charge of the throwing cart immediately drops the stone bomb."

Taking advantage of the gap in repelling the Chu army, Huang Ji pulled the messenger beside him and pushed him off the city wall.

The personal soldiers held their heads and got up from the ground, took two steps at a time, and ran towards the position of the catapult.

"Boom boom boom..."

After a few breaths, a large number of stone bullets flew out from the house inside the city gate, rubbed against the edge of the city wall, and fell into the Chu army formation that was climbing up.

The Chu army was in a fierce attack, and the soldiers were arranged in a tight array. The stone bullets fell into the Chu army's formation, splashing blood.

The Chu army had truly felt the power of the Qin army's catapult cart. The Chu soldiers fighting on the front line heard the familiar sound of breaking through the air, and their tense morale immediately dissipated.

Half an hour later, the Chu army suffered too much casualties and could not hold on to the offensive, so they had to retreat and monitor Yingshang City from afar.

After the Chu army retreated, Huang Ji seized the time to dispatch soldiers with physical strength to come forward, continue to strengthen the city wall and build a second line of defense.

After taking the task of conquering Yingshang, Huang Ji understood in his heart the difficulty of defending Yingshang, and had to maximize the combat effectiveness of his soldiers.

"If you want to go back alive, cheer me up now. The battle is far from over!"

"General Meng said that as long as we defend Yingshang, the title will be upgraded at least two levels after the battle."

"Seeking wealth and honor in danger, the future wealth and honor will fall in this Yingshang City!"

Huang Ji stood on the high tower, directing Qin soldiers to fill the walls, build fortifications, dig trenches, and wave their arms from time to time to boost morale.

Nearly noon, a fast horse hurriedly stepped into Ruyin and headed straight for Xiang Yan's mansion.

"The Qin army built fortifications in Yingshang, and the city was equipped with catapults. It was impossible to capture Yingshang for a while."

Xiang Yan gently pulled the bamboo slips in her hand, squinted her eyes slightly, and kept stroking her gray beard with one hand, and her face was a little shady and unstable.

Fight or defend?

Xiang Yan made the final weigh in his heart.

Continue to defend, wait for the Qin army to consolidate the position in Yingshang, cut off the Chu army's retreat, and threaten the Yingshui route. Shouying's materials could not be transported to the front line, and what awaits the Chu army would only be a dead end.

In order to fight, you must defeat the main force of the Qin army under Ruyin City.

At this time, continue to dispatch troops to attack Yingshang, and Ruyin's troops will be insufficient.

The Qin army led by Huang Ji did not have the ability to go north for the time being.

"I will be ordered to order the entire army to be armed and ready to fight the Qin army!"

Xiang Yan stopped stroking his beard, lifted the bamboo slips in his hand, and folded them hard, and the bamboo slips quickly turned into a pile of fragments.

"The Qin army outside the city lined up for one morning, and was dry and dry at this time, which was just right for our army to attack."

Two personal soldiers stepped forward and waited for Xiang Yan to change into general's armor. Feeling the heat in the air, Xiang Yan's heart added a little more confidence.

In the morning, the Chu army did not go out of the city to fight back without the attack. On the one hand, Xiang Yan needed to wait for news from Captain Pu; on the other hand, Xiang Yan secretly hoped that the tired Qin army would have a sharp decline in combat effectiveness.

Outside Ruyin City, on the wooden platform, there were fine beads of sweat spilling out on Meng Tian’s face.

Meng Tian let her body be exposed to the sun without any messy behavior. Sweat was soaked in her inner shirt. Meng Tian resisted the urge to scratch and sat quietly.

Will be the courage of the soldiers.

On the battlefield, the soldiers would see the performance of the commander. Meng Tian thought in his heart that as long as he continued to endure for a while, the smart Xiang Yan would never miss this opportunity.

After arranging the array for one morning, the Qin army was like a quiet chessboard, motionless, giving the Chu army great eyes.

The Chu army's Japanese-looking person knelt beside the battlements, staring at the Qin army formation.

The Qin army was very quiet and without chaos. Nearly two hours passed, and the Qin army soldiers did not return to the camp to replenish water and feed.

The Qin army, which was at the forefront of the military formation, had some of them standing for a long time, and had obvious fatigue on their faces. At the beginning, they held the long halberd with one hand, and behind them they held it with both hands, leaning in front of them.

"Hurry, go and tell Shangzhu Kingdom that the Qin army is tired!"

The scout held the shield with one hand above his head, bent down, rushed down the city wall, and headed towards the direction where Xiang Yan was.

In the lofty and vast sky, there are only a few white clouds. The hot sunlight spreads unimpeded on the land around Ruyin. The air is a bit stuffy and there is no breeze blowing.

Meng Tian, ​​who had been sitting quietly and steadily, suddenly raised his head and looked over Ruyin's city wall, as if he felt a different breath.

There was a sudden slight cold air in the hot air.

Shields appeared above the city wall, and the shields and shields were tightly spliced ​​together to block the Qin army's rain of arrows.

In the gap between the arrow rain, the Chu army's shield suddenly opened, and the Chu army's crossbow soldiers began to fight back in the direction of the Qin army's formation.

The Chu army's crossbow soldiers were not as good as the Qin army's elite, and they still had the strength to fight back.

Seeing that the Chu army took the initiative to fight back, Meng Tian couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Sort the shield soldiers forward and protect the crossbow soldiers."

The messenger used the flag words of the shield soldiers to attack. When the shield soldiers saw it, they picked up their shields, followed the passage of the array to enter the front row, and protected the crossbow formation.

Crossbow soldiers, archers, and long-range attacks can exert their maximum combat power, but their self-protection ability is very fragile.

When the two armies failed to hand over the enemy in a close battle, the crossbow formations of both sides attacked each other. At this time, it depends on who has the stronger will.

The Qin army crossbow soldiers had undergone rigorous training, and the crossbow arrows of the Chu army fell on the Qin army crossbow soldiers without affecting the Qin army's crossbow formation at all.

The crossbow soldiers beside them fell down and were dragged to the rear of the military formation. The crossbow soldiers beside them still placed crossbow arrows, raised crossbows, and slammed the mechanical snails.

War made these soldiers get used to bleeding.

When we first started training, there were crossbow soldiers who could not withstand this pressure. Some people wanted to retreat to the infantry formation behind, but the infantry that was pressing the formation raised their hands and killed the retreating crossbow soldiers.

If you stick to the military formation, you may not die, but if you take the initiative to retreat, you may die.

Both Qin and Chu were bleeding, it depends on who could not hold on first.

"Crazy--"

The Chu army's arrow rain was a little sparse, and the sound of opening the city gate came from the city.

At the sound of the city gate, a Chu army wearing bright yellow armor ran out quickly.

The leading flag was embroidered with a large character "Xiang", which was the elite soldiers of the Xiang family in Jiangdong.
