A rocket soared into the sky, attracting countless Chu troops to swarm in. Suddenly, Chenliu City was as bright as day, and tens of thousands of torches were lit at the same time, lighting up every inch of the land like the sun.

Zhou Bo took the lead. He galloped hard, led three thousand cavalry, and went straight to the south gate to kill. A hundred steps away, cloud ladders and crossbowmen rushed towards the city wall. Chaotic gongs sounded on Chenliu City, and the Qin army followed closely. The soldiers screamed in terror. Before they could react, the Chu army climbed up the city with ladders one after another and fought hard toward Chenliu County.

A Qin Army captain just stuck his head out and looked down at the city. Suddenly, an arrow shot out, hitting the lieutenant colonel's eyeball. The captain covered his eyes in pain and screamed heartbreakingly. Soon, in In severe pain, the captain turned over and fell to the bottom of the city. After a long roar, the Qin army on the city became even more confused.

A group of more than 500 Qin troops rushed towards the south gate in an attempt to block the Chu army from entering the city. However, as soon as they arrived at the city gate, Zhou Bo's cavalry came and cooperated with the centurion who had just captured the city. Everyone rushed to fight, and more than a hundred Qin soldiers waved their halberds and thrust forward. The two sides engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat, with horses galloping back and forth, swords whistling, and Qin soldiers letting out a series of screams.

Five hundred Qin troops could not stop the three thousand Chu cavalry who were ready to attack. Soon, the cavalry rushed into the city. Behind, nearly 20,000 Qin infantry swarmed in. The Qin army was gradually suppressed, and the south city gate was blocked. Chu army controlled,

A group of soldiers and horses rushed towards the county government office. At this time, the news of the Chu army's surprise attack on Chenliu had just been sent. The government office was in chaos. The chaotic drums at the top of the city woke Fang Jian from his sleep. He got up in a hurry, sleepy-eyed. He put on his broad robe, picked up a long sword, and rushed out of the inner office. He faced a Chu general who was slashing with his sword. Fang Jian was caught off guard and was chopped down by a sword. He struggled back and pointed with his right hand tremblingly. In front, an old man in his sixties was staring at Fang Clam quietly.

"Yes...yes...you betrayed me," Fang Xian fell quietly into a pool of blood with unwillingness and anger.

The Chu general who killed Fang Jian was Cao Wushang. At this time, he glanced around the county government with an expressionless face, and coldly ordered: "Kill everyone, old and young, no one will be spared."

After this order was issued, a bloody massacre occurred in the county government. Li Shiqi wanted to step forward to stop him, but Cao Wushang refused to listen to any of his dissuasion. Li Shiqi felt regretful, and he weakly walked to Fang Xian's body. He stared quietly for a moment and sighed: "This is what happens in troubled times. Brother Fang, don't blame me."

In Chenliu County, the sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground could be heard everywhere. The people were frightened and closed their doors tightly, fearing that these Chu soldiers would take advantage of the chaos to break into their houses and plunder them. But to their surprise, One night passed, but not a single Chu soldier broke into the house.

The sky gradually turned white. Groups of Chu troops in the city were clearing the battlefield. Several watchmen beat gongs and shouted in various streets and alleys in the city: "Pei Gong has an order. When Chu troops pass through, they will not disturb the people. Anyone who dares to disturb the people will not be disturbed." , behead and make a decision,”

All the city gates in Chenliu County have been controlled by the Chu army. Groups of Qin soldiers were dejected, holding their heads in their hands, standing in several rows, and marching towards the school grounds in the north of Chenliu County.

A surprise attack on Chenliu ended silently after a night of fierce fighting. At about three o'clock in the morning, the Chu army posted notices in the streets and alleys to appease the people, and opened warehouses to release grain and help the hungry people. The Chu army did not do anything. He oppressed the people and won high praise,

In the county government office, Li Shiqi thanked Liu Bang. Just now, Liu Bang named Li Shiqi the King of Guangye and lived under the curtain. This was recognition of Li Shiqi. Li Shiqi was very happy, and one of his personal followers A token was handed to Li Shiqi with both hands. This was the token for entering and exiting Liu Bang's handsome account. With this token, Li Shiqi could travel unimpeded in the Chinese army.

Everything had been arranged, and Liu Bang felt a little tired at this time. He raised his head and yawned, and was about to order the accounts to be settled. However, Li Shiqi walked out first, came to the same position again, and said with his hands: "Master, I have one more thing." The matter is clear,”

Seeing Li Shiqi walking out again, Liu Bang couldn't help but laughed and said, "Do you have anything else to do, Mr. Li?"

"I have a younger brother named Li Shang. Unlike me, he has loved martial arts since he was a child. He has also practiced martial arts well. Now he also wants to join the general and hopes that the general will accept him." After Li Shiqi finished speaking, Liu Bang After thinking for a while, he laughed and said: "Then let him come in,"

A relative followed him and turned around to leave the room. Soon, a burly middle-aged man was brought in. Liu Bang looked the middle-aged man up and down. He was indeed burly and heroic, and he couldn't help but feel a love for talent in his heart. In his heart, he laughed loudly and said: "Since he is your younger brother, I will make him a general, how about it?"

Li Shiqi and Li Shang knelt down to thank each other. Liu Bang said again: "It is the time for our army to march westward, and it is time to recruit people. Li Shang, you are a local. You will be responsible for recruiting troops in Chenliu. How much can you raise?" All the troops and horses are under your command, if you wish,"

"I am willing to listen to the general's orders." Li Shang bowed his hand to Liu Bang again. This time, Liu Bang really couldn't hold on any longer. He slowly stood up, stretched and ordered loudly: "Everyone is tired after a night of fighting. ,Go back and rest,"

The rumbling drums resounded all over the city of Julu. In the Qin army's formation, on a tall watchtower, Zhang Han stood on a tall watchtower with his sword eyebrows raised upside down, staring into the distance. The Battle of Julu had been going on for several months. In order to prevent the Chu army from going north, Zhang Han Two hundred thousand troops were invested to garrison Jiyuan, but it turned out that the Chu army was indeed watching the fire on the other side. They had no intention of crossing the river and fighting. In the Julu war, the Qin army suffered heavy casualties every day and paid a huge price, but they could not waver even a little bit,

Zhang Han originally wanted to return to Hanoi and wait until next spring to fight Zhao Jun again. In this way, he could support the Chu army for a year, especially since the Chu army went north and did not have much to keep out the cold. Once winter came, the Chu army would have no food and grass. It will be more difficult to transport supplies. If this continues, the Chu army will collapse.

But a bad news came from Sanchuan County. The Chu army marched westward in a large scale. More than 100,000 troops were invincible. Many counties along the way surrendered. Their purpose was very clear, which was to capture Hangu Pass before Zhang Han.

Although there are soldiers and horses stationed in the Guandong area, and various defenders are rushing to Hangu Pass to resist the Chu army, the Battle of Julu delayed Zhang Han and most likely gave the Chu army a chance to enter the pass again. , once the Chu army entered the pass this time, Zhang Han knew that the Qin State was over.

Because of this, Zhang Han had to move troops north from Jiyuan to attack Julu. At this time, he could no longer care about the Chu army in Anyang. As long as they did not cross the river and go north, it would be Zhang Han's greatest blessing.

Moreover, the Qin army has grown from an initial army of 400,000 to less than 300,000 troops now, and the available troops are already more than 270,000 at most. Under this situation, Zhang Han has to end the Battle of Julu as soon as possible and send troops go south,

But looking ahead, the 20,000 Qin troops who had just charged were gradually weakened after several hours of fierce attack, and their morale was once low. Zhang Han couldn't help but became furious. He slammed the handrail and said hatefully: "Give me more troops to attack. If you can’t take down the giant deer, none of you will be able to rest.”

,,,,,,

Not only Zhang Han was anxious about this battle, but the Zhao Palace also held emergency meetings in the past few days to discuss how to withstand the Qin army's fierce attack.

Although the Zhao army defended the city and relied on city defense to resist the Qin army, the Qin army continued to increase its troops every day. Moreover, the Qin army had strong logistical supplies, with a continuous supply of siege weapons and ladders, causing the Zhao army to also suffer casualties. It's tragic. There are more than 40,000 soldiers available at this time. If the stalemate continues, Julu will inevitably fall.

Also, a very practical question is before everyone's eyes. How long can the giant deer's food and grass last? This is a serious question that everyone has to face.

At this time, the hall was very quiet. Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing. Everyone was thinking about countermeasures. Zhao Wang, Zhao Xie, had also participated in more than one guard battle. He had also been slightly injured in the war. ,At this time, no matter what, no one will let Zhao Xie go to the city to participate in the battle again.

Zhang Er has been really dissatisfied with Chen Yu in the past few days. He has stationed nearly 50,000 troops but refuses to reinforce Julu. Could it be that Chen Yu has different intentions?

Based on Zhang Er's understanding of Chen Yu, he should not be a person who is unscrupulous for profit. Among them, it is possible that Chen Yu has become afraid of the Qin army. Only this possibility will cause Chen Yu to stop and wait. not forward,

Zhang Er thought of this, and the anger in his heart ignited again. He looked at Zhao Xie, who was bowing his head in thought, and sighed: "Your Majesty, I think that we should urge all reinforcements to come as soon as possible. I think they will not see each other. Otherwise, we must urge Chen Yu to rescue Julu. He has 50,000 troops under his command. If he is willing to come to the rescue, the pressure on Julu will be reduced a lot,"

After thinking for a while, Zhao Xie nodded slightly, his eyes slowly fell on Shen Yang's head, and ordered: "You leave the city tonight, go to the military camps, and persuade them to come to the rescue immediately, without making any mistakes."

Shen Yang nodded and sang the promise. At this time, Kuai Che sighed: "Yan, Qi, and Chu all have reinforcements, but they stay away from the battlefield. There are only two reasons. Either, they are afraid of the Qin army. They dare not move forward, or they are waiting for the war between Qin and Zhao to end. No matter which side wins, they will be swallowed up."

Kuai Che's suggestion was recognized by many people, and they all nodded. At this time, Zhang Er sighed: "No matter what they think, we must keep a low profile and let them come to help immediately. Otherwise, I am very worried about Julu." I won’t hold on until it snows,”

With a sigh, Zhang Yan strode out, came to Zhao Xie, cupped his hands and said: "The situation is critical. I am willing to leave the city overnight, break out of the siege, and go to Chen Yu's camp to urge reinforcements."

Zhang Night's request was like a lifeline, and Zhao Xie couldn't help but be overjoyed. On the side, Chen Ze also strode out, cupped his hands beside Zhang Night and said, "I'm willing to go, too."

"Okay, I will repair the book immediately, and you two will leave the city overnight to ask Chen Yu for help," Zhao Xie said loudly,
