() Some people with unscrupulous intentions have just spread the rumors. If they only received a beating, it would be considered a minor offense. Many caravans were even rejected by the people of Nanyang County and were almost remembered in their hearts.

In the blacklist, Xiang Yan and Lord Changping had implemented their plan for seven or eight days, but Nanyang County was still calm. There was no riot among soldiers in the army, and there was no reputation of King Qin's tyranny and unkindness, which made Xiang Yan's heart

Extremely depressed, he repeatedly rejected his original plan to attack Nanyang County. The allied forces of the two countries that originally stayed in South Korea were almost forced to stay by Xiang Yan because of his reputation. At this time, he saw that his actions and offensive tactics failed to produce good results.

As a result, some of the Wei generals were dissatisfied, and they started talking about it behind their backs. Not only Wei, but even some Chu soldiers also complained...

They had stayed in Xinzheng for a long time. Naturally, many of them missed their hometown, and everyone was afraid of the Qin soldiers' chariots and crossbows. However, Xiang Yan wanted to attack Qin, and finally resorted to resorting to means. If it worked, he would

Forget it, it is a pity that the Qin State is as stable as Mount Tai, and it has not been effective for a long time. As time goes by, people will naturally become panicked.

By the tenth day, many people were clamoring to return home, and even most of the Wei people had evacuated. Xiang Yan was helpless about this. He originally wanted to use a trick to destabilize the hearts of the Qin people.

, to facilitate his own attack, who would have expected that the final strategy was not only ineffective against the Qin people, but it seemed that the Qin people were extremely safe, and it was their side that was unstable in military morale! Xiang Yan did not expect such a result at the beginning.

As time went by, even with his prestige, he gradually became unable to suppress those below him, and many people felt resentful. Many people proposed that they would return to China within half a month at the latest.

Now that it has reached this point, how can Xiang Yan be willing to give up the piece of fat that is Nanyang County? He estimated that it had just been a few days since the earthquake. At this time, the Qin Kingdom was busy, although he still wanted to wait.

The opportunity, but if the situation is unfavorable to him, waiting too long will just miss the opportunity. On the other side, Lord Changping suggested from the side, Xiang Yan finally failed to calm down and gathered the only remaining troops.

After noon on the tenth day, he began to order everyone to set off and prepare to capture Nanyang County!

Many of the soldiers were dissatisfied with Xiang Yan's proposal, but they had no choice but to put on their armor and weapons, and lazily followed the army on the expedition. This time, all the soldiers and horses were gathered together.

There are about 300,000 people including Xiang Yan's confidants. Among them, there are about 150,000 Chu soldiers. The other 100,000 are the original Koreans who were forcibly recruited after receiving Korea. The other 50,000 are naturally not

They could run away. The remaining Wei soldiers totaled 300,000 people. Xiang Yan finally felt a little more confident. Now he has 300,000 people at hand. The maximum number of troops in Nanyang County is only 100,000. Although the defenders

A city is easy but it is difficult to attack it, but if you command it properly, how can you not capture a city that has no supplies and is too busy to take care of itself?

The reason why Han Lu was defeated before was just because everyone was afraid when they saw Che Nu for the first time. In addition, Han Lu could not compare with Xiang Yan in terms of reputation or status. Naturally, Xiang Yan was full of confidence!

When Xiang Yan and others moved in Nanyang County, Wei Teng had already received the information. Thanks to Yu Liao, shadow warriors are now almost hidden everywhere. Xiang Yan has a way to grasp the trends in Nanyang County, and Ying Zheng can naturally do the same.

Knowing the situation in Xinzheng. At this time, it is similar to what Xiang Yan expected. It will take at least a few days for Nanyang County to get rescue from Xianyang. After all, once the earthquake occurs, it will cost a lot to appease the people and rebuild facilities.

Ying Zheng had already sent 100,000 soldiers. In addition to those guarding the city and a group of people led by Wang Jian and Wang Ben respectively, Wei Teng's group was to support Nanyang County.

When he heard that Xiang Yan was coming to attack Nanyang County, even though Wei Teng was a mature man, he couldn't help but secretly complain. Xiang Yan was an experienced general who was good at fighting and was from the Xiang clan. His reputation was

It was also extremely loud in the Chu Kingdom. Now that he came to attack Nanyang, he probably also saw the embarrassing situation of Nanyang County at this time. Although there are 5,000 chariots in the city now, the number of arrows is limited.

, the 100,000 arrows that were originally shipped could only support a few rounds of crossbows at most. Among the weapons used by the Qin State to defend the city, the crossbows are the most famous. Although catapults and other arrows are more lethal, they are not as powerful as chariots.

Crossbow, once the arrows are used up, it may be really difficult for everyone to defend the city!

Thinking of this, Wei Teng couldn't help but start to complain about the audacious Wang Bi. If the boy hadn't left with 30,000 troops before leaving, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed at this time. Wei Teng had already started to think about it.

If Nanyang County falls, how will I write a letter of guarantee and confession after I go back? I am afraid that if something happens to Nanyang County, even if the Qin soldiers can get it back in the end, I will not be able to reap the benefits if I go back! Thinking of this, Wei Teng

He couldn't help but cursed Wang Bi again in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any expression on his face. He just asked the messenger to ask the soldiers in the city defense to strengthen their vigilance, and to equip the chariots, crossbows and other items earlier. Only then did he

He sighed and followed his fate toward the outside of the city tower.

Outside the city, the Chu army, led by Xiang Yan, stood in a large area in darkness, and the dense sea of ​​people seemed to have no edges. Thanks to the Allied Forces of the Four Nations who had just attacked the city, almost all the trees within a radius of fifty miles outside the city were covered by people.

It was all chopped down, and the larger stones were also picked up cleanly. It was now equipped in a catapult, so standing on the tower and looking at it, the scene below could be seen at a glance.

The Chu and Wei armies each stood in a row, and the rows of catapults had already been prepared. Just waiting for an order, countless rocks would rain down. If the arrows were not bad, after all, what Ying Zheng had done now

The steel shield can block almost all bronze weapon attacks. However, Wei Teng found it difficult to deal with the stones that usually weigh at least a jun. These stones are extremely thick. If they were hit, the city wall would be dented.

A piece of stone, let alone hitting someone, even if it is protected by armor, it will cause internal injuries at least. What's more, even if the soldier holds a shield, no one may be able to support the huge force of the impact of the boulder!

Unexpectedly, since the last time Han Lu ordered the crossbow team to attack, Xiang Yan has become a lot more cunning. From the beginning, he looked ready to mount a catapult. Wei Teng once again lamented that he was unlucky and did not meet Han Lu's underestimating enemy.

The guy met Xiang Yan as soon as he came. Although he was extremely depressed, he didn't dare to stay. He quickly asked someone to raise the shield. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, at least it could block it for a while. But originally

Almost half of the soldiers standing on the city wall withdrew. Except for some people who had to stay to control the crossbows, the rest of the crossbow archers retreated first.

The sound of war drums sounded densely like raindrops, and the dull sounds of "dong dong dong" were intertwined together, blending into a low and heavy neighing sound, which seemed to hit the bottom of people's hearts.

When the drums sounded, many people's hearts beat unconsciously, and their blood seemed to flow faster. At least many people in the Chu Kingdom finally felt a fighting spirit under the pressure of the drums.

He is no longer as desperate as before! This trick is still effective! Xiang Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, he himself was boiling with blood from the sound of drums. Even a veteran like him would be affected, let alone

An ordinary soldier.

The people beating the drums at this time were a group of soldiers wearing ordinary clothes of the Chu army, but all of these people had a calm face, different from the other people's expressions, and they all raised their hands and feet with something that seemed to be extremely powerful.

The explosive force made me couldn't help but feel excited when I heard them playing drums. This group of people was handed over to me by Lord Changping a few days ago. It is said that they were introduced by the swordsman named Fan Li who was with him.

Come on, these drummers all come from Qishan. Although they are not high-status disciples, as long as they are related to Qishan, their social status will naturally rise. What's more, these people are indeed powerful, and their skills are not among those in the Chu Kingdom.

Under the golden man.

But what makes Xiang Yan suspicious is that Lord Changping has the ability to command the people of Qishan. Does this mean that Qishan is actually hiding behind Chu State, and Qishan is also preparing to join in this war with Qin State?

?

Although she was suspicious, Xiang Yan also knew that this was not the time for her to think wildly, so she suppressed all the thoughts in her heart, and withdrew her gaze towards the drummer, and instead moved her gaze to Nanyang.

There are huge and dark crossbows at the head of the county city. On the city wall that is almost so wide that it seems that the edge cannot be seen, a crossbow is pushed every four or five steps in the empty space of the city.

At the front, it is densely equipped with surveillance equipment, and there are not many people guarding it. You can even vaguely see the appearance of one person standing next to each crossbow. Such a crossbow without a large number of human hands can really display its legendary performance.

That kind of power?

Xiang Yan expressed doubts in her heart!

"Prepare the catapult!" Xiang Yan was sitting in the chariot and just gave instructions to the drum beater outside. The beat of the drum became more intense. Xiang Yan stared at the dark and cold chariot beasts above the city.

, although they were all man-made and lifeless, he seemed to be able to feel the danger and bloody smell coming from the crossbow. Xiang Yan had been fighting for many years and believed in his intuition very much, so after thinking about it, he still

They decided to throw the first wave of stones at the crossbow. No matter what, if they could hit some of the crossbows they had equipped first, it would be useful to encourage the morale of the army, and secondly, weaken it.

The opponent's combat power is also effective on your own side! (To be continued.)
