"The prince is mighty!"

Zheng Long showed outstanding military talent. In a short period of time, several military orders were issued without hesitation, and then the army began to divide the troops and leave the northern city gate!

At the same time, in Xinyang City!

"puff!"

"Uh!"

"Be careful of hidden weapons!"

"hateful!"

The city was completely in chaos, with scenes of melee everywhere. In the streets and alleys, there were either Qin army's corpses or Zheng army's corpses!

North Street!

The Qin army in the north street had already surrounded a protective zone with shields. General Lingjiang Qian Guangxiao and several lieutenants hid in the protection. Seeing the rain of arrows and hidden weapons coming, and falling down one by one with the Qin army soldiers, Qian Guangxiao finally understood that he had fallen into the trap!

The small Zheng army that went out of the city to fight against the Qin army was not only to hold him back, but to bait. The purpose was to lure him into the city and then block the city gate and prevent him from going out!

The Zheng army's goal has also been achieved, and the current Qin army is in a dilemma!

Retreat, the city gate was blocked by a large number of Zheng Jun. Hidden weapons and cold arrows were shot from time to time on both sides of the street, making the Qin army unable to defend themselves and suffered heavy losses. Keep moving forward without retreating. There were also a large number of Zheng Jun blocking them. Hidden weapons and cold arrows attacked one after another, and there was no time to seize them.

"General, now, take advantage of the fact that there are not many enemies at the city gate, break through. If you don't break through, it will be difficult to break through when your brothers die almost the same!" A captain gathered up to Qian Guangxiao and said.

"We cannot break through. If we break through, we will be defeated in this battle. Do you know what defeat is? Since Your Majesty took power, I, the Qin Dynasty, have never been defeated. If we set a precedent, we will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the empire. The descendants of our generals and your descendants will be despised!" Qian Guangxiao said with a ferocious face!

"This..." The commander wanted to speak but stopped, and hesitated.

"I passed this general order, no one is allowed to retreat. If you see an enemy killing another, you will seize Xinyang City at all costs!" Qian Guangxiao let out a beastly roar, determined to capture Xinyang City.

"Abide by the order!"

"Brothers, cover cleaning, kill people when you see them, no one will be left!"

"kill!!"

After ordering, the Qin army untie its defensive posture and rushed forward with all their might. Under the strong attack of the Qin army, the Zheng army in the city suffered heavy casualties, but the Qin army also suffered many casualties, mainly from hidden weapons and cold arrows. Moreover, the terrain in the city was narrow, and the Qin army lost its advantage far beyond weapons.

The Qin army lost its advantage far beyond suppression, which meant that it was impossible to concentrate on arrow rain to attack the enemy. Street battles were entirely reliant on short crossbows and melee battles. The Qin army was not familiar with the terrain in the city, while the Zheng army was extremely familiar. The Zheng army relied on residential buildings and other buildings and came out to ambush the Qin army from time to time, causing the Qin army to suffer a lot.

In a house!

Ma Yu lurked in the house with several Zheng soldiers, his eyes looking at the street through the windowsill. When he saw Qin Jun passing by, he immediately shot out cold arrows and flying knives and hidden weapons, killing more than a dozen Qin troops in an instant. After doing this, Ma Yu took his people away from the residence and changed his seat to continue fighting.

It was in this way that the Zheng army continuously blocked the Qin army's advance, which also caused great casualties to the Qin army.

One and a half hours after the Qin army entered the city, the casualties exceeded 8,000, while the Zheng army suffered more than 20,000 casualties. Compared with one death in the Qin army and two or three deaths in the Zheng army, for outsiders, it is already amazing that this casualties can be achieved under such a trap.

But for the Qin army, it was a shame and an extremely huge price!

In fact, the Qin army can break through. With the strength of the Qin army, even if there are 100,000 enemy troops at the city gate, 10,000 Qin army can break through. However, Qian Guangxiao, who is afraid of being responsible for defeat, and generals at all levels in the army, have chosen not to break through. Of course, there are also generals who want to break through, but the voice is too small...

Perhaps in their eyes, as long as you win Xinyang City, you will be victorious!

Sometimes, it is not a good thing to be too competitive and have too strong sense of glory.

Time passes slowly, three hours are flashing!

Three hours passed, and the street fighting in the city had not yet ended. Both Qin and Zheng armies suffered heavy casualties, with 18,000 casualties, 50,000 casualties in the city, 22,000 Qin army in the city, and 140,000 Zheng army in the city. At the same time, the four major city gates have been blocked by a large number of Zheng army.

The Qin army had already missed the opportunity to break through. Now even if they wanted to break through, it would be difficult to break through.

After four and a half hours of continuous fighting, the Qin army was extremely tired, and the Zheng army was completely waiting for work. Under this circumstance, the casualties of the Qin army increased rapidly, and the casualties of the Zheng army dropped rapidly, gradually falling from a ratio of 1:3 to a ratio of 2;1.

Only two Qin army soldiers can replace one Zheng army soldier.

The Zheng army was very cunning and specifically picked Qin army soldiers to attack when they were resting, forcing the Qin army soldiers to give up resting and gritted their teeth to hold on. Qian Guangxiao also ordered defense helplessly and no longer advocated attack.

When this battle reached this point, the morale of the Qin army also plummeted and was a little overwhelmed.

Hungry, exhausted, sleepy!

Time passes slowly, two hours flies until sunset!

County magistrate's office, court!

In the court, Qian Guangxiao and two commanders sat in the center of the court. The three of them were covered in dust and eclipsed. Especially Qian Guangxiao, who was frequently in a state of destruction.

"I was wrong, wrong..." Qian Guangxiao, who was slumped on the ground, had red eyes and tears flashed with regret and pain on his face.

"General, the entire army of the East Gate Camp was wiped out, and more than half of the North Gate Camp was wounded and more than half of our West Gate Camp was wounded. No news came from the South Gate Camp, and 80% of the entire army was wiped out. Now we only have 15,000 troops and are surrounded in the city. Four cunning Zheng troops were all in all directions. This time, we were defeated and completely defeated... Woo~" a captain cried while choking.

"General, the Zheng army has burned all their food and grass. Now the brothers are hungry and tired. We must break through. If we don't break through, if the Zheng army does not come to encircle and suppress it, we will be exhausted or starved to death by ourselves!" Another captain said with red eyes.

Qian Guangxiao supported the ground with both hands, slowly stood up from the ground, and said softly with a lonely expression: "You can lead your brothers to break through, you can protect one brother!"

"What about you?"

"Me?" Qian Guangxiao smiled sadly, "Haha, I... do I still have the face to go back? I, Qian Guangxiao, from now on, will be a shame for the Qin Dynasty. Only by dying in battle can I put a layer of bright silk on this shame!"

Qian Guangxiao's heart is dead. He has no desire to survive now. He just wants to die on the battlefield and get the highest honor!

"General!"

“Woooooo~”

The two captains shouted in grief and couldn't help but start to cry.

PS: "I found that even though I explained it many times, many book friends still think that I updated one chapter a day before, which is too few. Here, I will declare again that the previous chapter is the same as the current five chapters, and they are all ten thousand words!"
Chapter completed!
