Wang Jimeng was shot between the eyebrows and fell to the ground dead. He still maintained his original appearance when he died. But at this time, the Qin army was in chaos. There were nearly 200 people. Some fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and some fell to the ground.

Some were shot in the abdomen, chest, arms, or legs. They roared in pain, struggled painfully, and finally died. The remaining thirty people dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for surrender.

The Chu army from the east of the Yangtze River landed on the shore in a mighty manner, and the ship's planks banged on the shore. The cavalry and infantry landed one after another. At this time, the Chu army from the east of the Yangtze River, led by Sima Hou Kaige, was marching towards Zhu County.

The main force of the Chu army in the east of the Yangtze River had assembled on the river bank, and the cavalry controlled a radius of hundreds of miles. The scouts dispersed in all directions, with flags flying and drums beating. Soon, there were only more than a hundred empty ships left in the Yangtze River, and each ship had only

More than ten people guarded it.

A large number of Chu troops from the east of the Yangtze River marched towards Zhu County. The people in the villages along the way were panicked and every family closed their doors. Some supported the elderly and the young and took refuge in nearby counties. At this time, Xiangzhuang's main force was less than seventy miles away from Zhu County.

Xiang Zhuang ordered Kong Ji to make announcements to calm the people, comfort the people along the way, and provide military rations to help the people. Anyone who supports the Chu army in Jiangdong can always maintain peace, while those who oppose it will be sent to the iron mines to serve as laborers.

For a time, the common people ate pots of pulp and knelt down the countryside to welcome the Chu army east of the Yangtze River.

Half an hour ago, Zhu County had received an urgent report that the Chu army from Jiangdong had landed in Zhu County and was marching towards Zhu County. At this time, the city of Zhu County was under strict confinement. Anyone over ten years old or under forty years old must be killed.

Go to the city and help with the defense.

The people temporarily formed a militia to guard the city. The county governor Xu Hongzhuang ordered that the houses in the five streets within the city wall be destroyed. Stones and wood were removed and transported to the top of the city to prepare for the enemy. Feces and urine were poured into the cauldron.

A torch was lit below. This is called golden juice. It is far more effective than boiling water. Moreover, feces carries a variety of bacteria. Once it sticks to the wound, it is easy to become infected and rot. Therefore, in this era, this kind of weapon was often used to defend the city.

There is also a strong crossbow, which is a special weapon for the Qin army to defend the city. This crossbow is extremely powerful and requires a winch to be wound. It can fire one crossbow arrow at a time. At this time, many people were gritting their teeth and twisting the winch.

Under the city of Zhu County and outside the south gate, the Chu army from Jiangdong has begun to gather one after another. Nearly 8,000 soldiers and horses are divided into three camps, namely the front army, the middle army and the rear army.

The front army was led by Sima Hou Kaige and Xiaowei Gong Ao, with a total of 2,000 men. The middle army was led by Xiang Zhuang, Ying Bu, Cao Feng and Kong Ji, with a total of 5,000 men. The rear army mainly escorted materials and supplied the front line.

Led by Ma Tianhong, the scout commander.

At this time, the scouts sent out by Ma Tianhong had gathered one after another. Moreover, Ma Tianhong had sent 300 people up the mountain to cut down trees and prepare a ladder. Counting the time, the ladder was almost ready. Ma Tianhong rode his horse to Xiangzhuang and asked him.

Nodding, Xiang Zhuang slowly raised his right hand.

The roaring war drums beat slowly, and the low bugles also whine from time to time, indicating that the war is about to begin.

Soon, the Chu army in Jiangdong began to change its formation. The infantry and archers of the front army began to move to both sides to make way for a straight road. The Chinese army marched forward slowly, with Xiangzhuang, Yingbu, Kong Ji, and Cao Feng pressing in.

The front of the team appears under the flag gate.

Gong Ao, Xiang Ge came to Xiangzhuang. At this time, the chariots were in front, and the cavalry were on both sides. Behind them were three rows of archers. The archers had already strung their bows and raised them in the air. Behind the archers,

, are the Ge soldiers and halberd soldiers of the Jiangdong Chu army, as well as five hundred spearmen, inserted into the formation, the formation is rigorous and really majestic.

On the top of the city, Xu Hongzhuang, the county guard, was already timid about fighting. He saw that the Chu army in the east of the Yangtze River had a rigorous formation and everyone moved in unison, unlike a mob. If they stayed with this kind of army for a long time, it would be difficult for Zhu County to resist it. Moreover, it looked like

Facing the mighty army marching in the distance, they carried no less than two hundred ladders. This was the rhythm of storming the city.

On the side, General Miao Pengpo was slightly excited. He looked at County Governor Xu Hongzhuang and said: "Sir, this kind of bandit army is vulnerable to a single blow. I am willing to bring three thousand soldiers and horses to capture the thieves and offer them to you!"

"They have bright weapons and heavy armor. They don't look like a mob. You can't underestimate the enemy. It's safer to guard the city tightly!" Xu Hongzhuang scolded in displeasure, but the general Miao Pengpo handed over his hands and said anxiously: "Sir, I would like to issue a military order.

, If you don’t capture the thief and offer it as a sacrifice, you will die in front of your Majesty!”

Xu Hongzhuang was tempted by Miao Penpo's request for battle again. Looking at the mighty Chu army below, nearly ten thousand people, they would not just attack one wave and then leave in a hurry. How to repel them was indeed a difficult problem, and if

If the stalemate continues, how can we last long without supplies or reinforcements?

Thinking of this, County Governor Xu Hongzhuang turned around and ordered his followers: "Take my token, go out from the north gate, take a detour through Shaxian County via the trail, and dispatch three thousand troops and horses to return immediately for reinforcements."

He followed Changnuo and left. At this time, Xu Hongzhuang ordered again: "Bring me a pen!"

A personal attendant hurriedly went to the city tower to get the bamboo slips and pen. Miao Pengpo thought that Xu Hongzhuang wanted him to issue a military order, so he stepped forward and prepared to take the pen. However, Xu Hongzhuang did not give him the pen and instead struggled on the bamboo slips.

He wrote a letter asking for help and gave it to another personal attendant, saying: "You start from the path beside Longse Lake, rush to the river port, look for fishing boats to cross the river, and ask for help from Wu Rui, the magistrate of Poyang County.

, ask him to send troops immediately, and we will attack from two directions to destroy this bandit army."

After personally following Chang Nuo and leaving, Xu Hongzhuang felt much more at ease in his heart. He couldn't help but look at Miao Pengpo on the side and asked: "Are you really sure of defeating them?"

"Don't worry, sir. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. I will kill the enemy to offer you." Miao Pengpo handed over his hand again.

After a brief gaze, Xu Hongzhuang could only nod his head and ordered: "I will give you five thousand soldiers and horses. You kill the enemy and charge into the formation, and I will destroy them all!"

Miao Pengpo was overjoyed and immediately knelt down on one knee. The final general will never disappoint the adults' expectations!

After half a stick of incense, when the Chu army in the east of the Yangtze River was confronting the defenders of Zhu County, and no one took the lead in attacking, the south gate of Zhu County slowly opened. First, five hundred defenders holding Qin flags rushed to both sides of the city gate.

At this time, the long suspension bridge was lowered and fell to the ground, kicking up a burst of dust and flying into the sky.

Soon, five thousand Qin troops ran outward along the suspension bridge. Soon, they formed an array in front of the suspension bridge. The Qin army's powerful crossbow formation and spear formation appeared in front of the Jiangdong Chu army. One thousand crossbowmen, three thousand spearmen and one thousand

The chariots and soldiers were lined up and waiting.

A middle-aged general wearing silver armor came out on horseback. He was the general Miao Pengpo, who was also the county lieutenant of Zhu County. At this time, he had already straightened his spear and came to the front of the formation. He looked at Jiang Dongchu in front of him.

Jun, Miao Pengpo laughed ferociously.

The laughter was so unrestrained//uninhibited, and there was no trace of Jiangdong Chujun in his eyes, as if what he saw in front of him was a group of ants, a group of ants that he could trample to death with just his feet.

But in the Dongchu army formation, Yingbu was already furious. He rode his horse out and came to the front of the two armies. He held up his spear, pointed it at Miao Pengpo angrily, and shouted: "Name the enemy general!"

"

Miao Pengpo laughed wildly: "I am the county lieutenant of Zhu County, Miao Pengpo who is worshiped as a partial general. Who are you? Leave your name so that you can leave your name in my merit book."

When Yingbu saw that he spoke so arrogantly, he was furious, but the two armies were fighting and there was no hurry. Yingbu looked at Miao Pengpo with an angry look and said in a deep voice: "Listen carefully, I am Poyang Fenyong Colonel Yingbu, you can

Dismount your horse quickly and surrender, I can consider letting you die quickly!"

When Miao Penpo heard this, he flew into a rage. He brandished his sword and went straight to Yingbu to kill him.

The fire flashed, and with the impact of the horses, the two separated again.

On the top of the city, Xu Hongzhuang was filled with regret, and he foolishly asked Poyang for help. It turned out that the people fighting Miao Pengpo below the city were from Poyang, and he was blind, so he went to Wu Rui for help.

But at this time, his personal entourage has gone far away, and it is too late to recall him. At the moment, he can only bite the bullet and station in Zhu County, waiting for the reinforcements from Shaxian County to arrive before making a decision.

Downstairs, Qingbu and Miao Pengpo had already fought several battles. Both of them were extremely brave. No one lost to the other, but no one had the upper hand. They just went back and forth, fighting each other.

However, Tingbu's strength was greater than that of Miao Pengpo. When more than a dozen of them gathered together, the disparity became apparent. The sword in Miao Pengpo's hand began to shake, but Tingbu's spear thrust faster and faster, flying up and down, appearing and disappearing, making Miao Pengpo disappear.

Beads of sweat like soybeans were oozing out from Peng Po's forehead.

In the Qin army formation, a Sima saw that Miao Pengpo was gradually dying. He secretly took out a hand crossbow from his arms, quietly loaded the crossbow arrows, and lurked behind a cavalryman. Finally, Ying Bu and Miao Pengpo

After the battle, Peng Po separated again. He saw Qing Bu running towards the Qin army's camp. He aimed his crossbow at Qing Bu. Just as he was about to touch the string, a small black dot appeared in front of him. To his surprise, the movement of his hand

He stopped and stared carefully at the arrival of the little black dot.

Suddenly the black spot grew bigger, and he finally saw clearly that it was an iron arrow, and it was extremely fast. When he reacted, the iron sword had pierced the center of his eyebrows. With the powerful impact of the iron sword, he flew away from his horse.

Got out.

This scene was seen by Yingbu. At this time, Yingbu had reined in his horse. Looking back, he saw that Xiang Zhuang had saved his life. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up, laughed loudly, and rode his horse to kill Miao Pengpo again.

But Miao Pengpo had been touched by Sima's death. He found that he was no match for Ting Bu. He began to regret and started to fight timidly. But the horse was already running forward and he could no longer turn around. He had to wave his sword and attack Ting Bu.

He greeted him, but hesitation would slow down his movements. Just when he hesitated, Qingbu's spearhead had already pierced his heart. With a "pop", Qingbu lifted up Miao Pengpo with both hands.

, the three armies of the Chu army in Jiangdong formed a large formation, and their morale was high. Xiang Zhuang took the opportunity to draw his long sword and wave it forward. The low-pitched bugles sounded like the roar of wild beasts one after another.

The Chu army in the east of the Yangtze River rushed towards Zhu County like a flood from a dike and fierce beasts in the mountains. Nearly two hundred ladders were set up on both sides of the moat. The Chu army in the east of the Yangtze River spread towards the south gate of Zhu County from all directions.

But the five thousand Qin army panicked, and their leader died in battle. They were like headless flies, running around and retreating towards Zhu County. The army collapsed like waves, one wave after another. The Chu army in the east of the Yangtze River was like a beast, chasing its prey.

Killing without restraint.
