Chapter 996: Xue Ju Siege

In mid-April, the weather in the sky was particularly bright. At noon, when practicing in the sun was low, it was so hot that it was sweating profusely. Compared with Xiang Yu's main force, Xuecheng was relatively relaxed.

But the military status of this city is very important. If one of the two cities of Xiaocheng and Xuecheng is lost, the matter will be very serious. Not to mention the problem of the defeat of the city, the Mi River, which is sandwiched in the center of the two cities, is extraordinary. The reason is that when this city is lost, Han Qinhu's water camp is like nothing. If Xiang Yu is driving straight in, it will be easy.

The defenders of this city were Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Hu, and Chen Qingzhi used the defense of the city. He was not sure whether Xiang Yu would set up more ambushes around, so he could only do it step by step.

The attackers under the city were Xiang Yu's right-hand man, Xue Ju and his son Xue Rengao, as well as Fang Tianding, Fang Meng and Fang Fei.

The 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command were already set up here. Xue Rengao, who was standing behind, rode a maroon horse, held a black gun in his hand, a dog-tail grass in his mouth, wearing a chain mail, with disdain in his eyes, and a helmet, looking at his father, "Father, siege the city!"

Xue Ju, who was standing in front, was riding a black horse, his eyes were as lightning, his beard on his chin was like a needle, spreading out in a fan shape, holding a domineering gun in his hand, wearing a Taotie armor, with a kind of aura of a fuzzy aura in his eyes, and his hands as big as a cushion, stroked his beard, and said with a squint on both sides: "The guards on the city wall should not be underestimated!"

"Father! I'm afraid he will do anything! When I lead the soldiers behind me and knock down the city gate to repay the shame of the previous few days!" Xue Rengao's eyes were stubborn, and there was an arrow wound on his face. He had just scarred. He looked at the defenders on the city wall and couldn't swallow that breath in his heart.

"Get back..." Xue Ju shouted suddenly. Xue Rengao was like a frightened bird, retreating repeatedly, not daring to have any complaints or dissatisfaction. Xue Ju looked at him like this and cursed angrily: "I forgot what hurts after the scar! Remember to eat and not remember to beat him!"

Xue Rengao looked like a frightened bird, watching his father trembling. Xue Ju turned his head, his scarlet eyes were covered with a hint of blood, and said in a while: "Three generals! There are good strategies in his belly."

Fang Tianding and the other two were also uneasy when they heard this. The army was not afraid of Xue Rengao, except Xiang Yu, there were probably only Long Qi. Fang Tianding, the three of them, was older. He quickly clasped his fists and said, "What are the instructions of the general! We will definitely die!"

When Xue Ju heard this, she looked back at Fang Tianding, who was foolish. Fang Tianding felt a little excited. Fang Meng and Fang Fei behind her secretly scolded Fang Tianding for talking nonsense.

The fine sweat on Fang Tianding's head gradually emerged, but he still pretended to be calm and thought to himself: Did I say something wrong?"

Xue Ju slowly withdrew his gaze, closed his thoughts, and flew the battle flags behind him! Floating with the wind, the soldiers under him were covered with cold weapons, bright armor, bright armor, one row after another, one square of ants, orderly, and from a distance, they looked black.

Standing on the city wall, Chen Qingzhi looked thin in white clothes, his figure looked thin, his messy hair was moving with the wind, and his white clothes showed Chen Qingzhi's character under the breeze. Chen Qingzhi coughed from time to time, and his deep dark circles seemed to have not closed his eyes for several nights. His flat lips were covered with frost, and his long beard was blowing under his nose.

Chen Qingzhi stood on the city wall, squinting on both sides, looking at the formation below, thinking about it. The general Zhao Hu, who was standing behind, held a cloak in his hand and draped it on Chen Qingzhi, which made Chen Qingzhi warmer, and his face looked worried and said, "General! It's strong wind outside! Let's go down first!"

"Cough cough... no need!" Chen Qingzhi clenched his fingers into fists, covered his mouth, coughed a few times, and sighed: "I wonder if I can see that the day when the world is peaceful!"

"Why should the general belittle himself? The world is still waiting for you and me to pacify?" Zhao Hu helped Chen Qingzhi down the city, and Chen Qingzhi waved his hand and said, "Defend the city! Xue Ju is here this time!"

"What does the general mean?" Zhao Hu said with confusion.

"The previous few times Xue Ju were all temptations, and the troops were sparse. After another day, it was obvious that the soldiers were resting! This morning, the fireworks in Xue Ju camp were longer and more than before. I guess they had burned more meat and food to make these soldiers eat and prepare for the war! Let the soldiers be serious, and the real war has begun!" Chen Qingzhi held the corner of the wall down the city wall, with a faint sigh in his eyes.

"General, don't worry! Leave it to me again!" With the preparation this morning, Zhao Hu has been ready. The tiger's eyes stared at the army in front of him, pressed the sword in his arms, the hand of the size of a cushion, and pressed the pillars of the city wall, and shouted: "Let me open my eyes! If the enemy dares to get close, shoot me arrows, watch me, and pay attention! I will ask the Huotou Army to add food and meat to you at night."

"No!" The soldier held the bow and arrow in his hand, maintaining the arrow-pulling posture in his hands, his palms were sweating, and his eyes were staring at the army ahead, not daring to relax his vigilance.

Xue Ju rubbed his wrist and said for a while: "Siege the city! All the troops attacked the North Gate. At noon, Xue Rengao, you lead 10,000 infantry to attack the West Gate. You must take it down for me no matter what!

"Get orders!" Military orders are like mountains." Xue Rengao rubbed his wrists and took his soldiers around the city in the early stage.

"Tear!" Xue Rengao pulled out the sword in his arms, took out the sword sound, and shouted: "Kill!"

"Run! Kill!" What a shout, the war horses neighed, and tens of thousands of soldiers carried the ladders on their shoulders and rushed forward. The formations of the two teams changed drastically, and two square formations appeared. They were all under their command, all holding their bows and staring at the city wall. Tens of thousands of arrows were fired at the same time.

"Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish!..." Cold arrows continued, like locusts passing through the border in the dark, covering them back.

"Defense! Hidden!" Zhao Hu's face changed, he raised the card in his hand and shouted.

"Charge!" Tian Ding, who was riding a war horse, dragged a ladder without leaving a few breaths, was close to the corner of the city wall.

"Shoot the arrow!" Zhao Hu shouted.
