"Back off!"

Bai Zhong pulled Wang Li back, not wanting anyone outside to know that he was already in the city.

The generals of the Chu army felt that they were just trapping Li Xin in the city.

Of course Li Xin understood the reason for this. He waved his hand and asked the soldiers on the tower to draw their bows and aim the arrow tip at Zhaoyue outside, but did not shoot because the distance was too far and it would only be a waste of arrows.

"General Li Xin, surrender."

Zhaoyue came to persuade you to surrender, and said loudly: "We can all see your ability. As long as you can surrender, the position we will give you will definitely be higher than that in Qin."

Li Xin responded: "What if I don't surrender?"

"If you don't surrender, you can't leave Licheng."

Zhaoyue said very confidently: "You used 10,000 people to cut off the queen, but when you fled here, there were only more than 4,000 people left. I still have 30,000 troops outside the city. If we continue to fight, you must also know the consequences.

, Failure to surrender will lead to death.”

Li Xin sneered: "Then you try to attack the city!"

Zhaoyue did not attack the city immediately, but said loudly: "I will give General Li Xin another half day to think about it."

After saying that, he turned around and went back.

The 30,000 Chu troops below began to surround this small city.

Xiang Yan went to chase Meng Tian, ​​but no one would come to rescue Li Xin for the time being. Thirty thousand people surrounded more than 4,000 people. Even if they were exhausted, Li Xin could be killed in the city.

Thinking of these, Zhaoyue is now full of confidence.

"General, how are you doing?"

Li Xinxin asked anxiously.

Bai Zhong's eyes fell on the city and said: "Have people demolish all the houses in the city quickly, move the wood and stones to the city tower, and prepare to defend the city."

They had no other defensive equipment and could only use local materials.

Next, wait for Zhaoyue to attack.

Half a day passed quickly.

Zhaoyue came outside the city again and asked Li Xin if he would surrender.

Li Xin said nothing, bent his bow and shot an arrow at Zhaoyue.

The distance was a bit far, and the arrow could not hit Zhaoyue, but his attitude was very clear. If he wanted to fight to the end, he would still declare war on the Chu army.

"Siege the city!"

Zhaoyue was angry.

Boom, boom, boom!

The war drums of the Chu army were beaten, and first an echelon of ten thousand people came running over carrying ladders and shields.

From yesterday to noon today, there was enough wood for the Chu army to make ladders.

Li Xin ordered the soldiers to draw their bows and shoot, but they did not have many arrows and could not stop the Chu army's attack. Soon they put ladders on the tower and a large number of Chu soldiers climbed up without fear of death.

They had only one idea: to kill these Qin troops to avenge the dead soldiers of Chu and avenge Chu.

"Break wood and rocks!"

Li Xin yelled.

The soldiers of the Qin army picked up the wood and stones that they had torn down from the houses in the city and threw them down on the ladder. Immediately, countless soldiers of the Chu army were hit and fell down.

The sound of wailing was mixed with the shouts of killing.

But no matter how effective wood and stone were, they could not stop the Chu army's numbers.

They held up their shields and resisted desperately, and finally someone climbed onto the tower.

"kill!"

Wang Li led some soldiers and waited for the Chu army to board the tower. At this moment, he drew his sword out of its sheath and fought hard to kill them.

The Chu soldiers who had just climbed onto the tower were constantly penetrated by Chang Ge.

Some of the Chu soldiers who came up from behind held shields and stood on the tower to resist with difficulty, but they could only block for a while. Their final fate was to be killed by the Qin army or end their lives with a sword.

The fighting continued, and the soldiers on both sides of the city tower were furious.

The Qin army continued to resist, and the Chu army continued to attack the city. Blood almost stained the city wall red.

Bai Zhong did not participate in the fight. He quietly took out the bow in the space, found arrows, and looked at Zhao Yue who was directing him below. The bow string gradually tightened, and an arrow was shot towards Zhao Yue.

Just when Zhaoyue heard a sharp sound breaking through the air approaching, before Zhaoyue had time to figure out what it was, Bai Zhong's sharp arrow hit him directly on the neck.

The arrow was so powerful that after it hit the person, it dragged the person back and landed more than ten feet away, nailing Zhaoyue to the ground.

Zhaoyue's eyes widened. When he died, he didn't know how he died.

"General!"

The soldiers around him saw this and shouted in panic.

Before they could see clearly what was happening, the man died suddenly, and they were all shocked.

The general in command was gone, and the remaining soldiers of the Chu army didn't know what to do.

This negative news quickly spread among the Chu army and reached the soldiers who were attacking the city. There was chaos in an instant. All the soldiers retreated in confusion, and the siege battle could no longer be fought.

Li Xin and others defended Licheng.

Looking at the retreating Chu army outside, Li Xin asked: "General, do we want to go out of the city to counterattack?"

"If the Chu army does not retreat tonight, they will attack at night!"

Bai Zhong said.

Even though Zhaoyue died, the Chu army still did not retreat.

Li Xin and the others were all ready, and when night fell, they took their weapons and went out of the city to sneak attack on the enemy camp.

Bai Zhong still didn't show up, just standing on the tower watching the battle.

The purpose of this night attack was to make a quick decision, to quickly set fire to the enemy camp and create chaos, and then to kill as many people as possible, and then retreat back to the city after that.

Li Xin and Wang Li each led two thousand people out of the city. After a while, Bai Zhong could see the light of fire coming from the Chu army camp.

After setting the fire successfully, they did not stay and decisively led their troops back.

The Chu army had just lost its general, and now it was attacked again and its camp was burned. You can imagine how chaotic it would be inside.

"Leave some people on guard, and the rest will take turns to rest."

Bai Zhong did not go out to fight again, simply made arrangements and waited to see the result tomorrow.

It's just dawn.

Wang Li said excitedly: "General, the Chu army has retreated!"

They came to the tower and looked outside. The military camp last night had been burned to ashes. The Chu army could not even see their shadows. They must have left overnight.

After killing an enemy general and burning the enemy camp, the Chu army had no one to command them. They didn't know what else to do except retreat.

Li Xin thought that this dilemma would be difficult to break, but he never thought that the dilemma would disappear as soon as the general arrived.

"Leave here first and go find Meng Tian."

Bai Zhong didn't want to stay any longer because he was worried that the next group of Chu troops would come to surround him and attack him.

While leaving, he sent people back to the west. If Ning Teng could really send troops to help, he would guide the reinforcements from Nanjun to join him. It was still unclear what Meng Tian's situation was.

I hope it's okay.

——

Meng Tian fled to the west of Qiuqiu and finally came to Pingyu.

In the city of Pingyu, following Xiong Qi's rebellion, the Chu army in the city also responded and killed all the Qin officials. Now the flag of the Chu army is still hanging. At this time, a large number of Qin troops were discovered, and thousands of Pingyu soldiers arrived.

The guards of Yu were hurriedly on guard.

"Get Pingyu first."

Meng Tian learned through scouts that Xiang Yan's pursuers were behind him, and they still bit him and refused to let go.

To the west of Pingyu, Xianghe and other places were close to Nanjun, so no Chu army dared to rebel. Now there was no condition to cross Ru River. He thought that he could capture Pingyu and then let people pass through Xianghe, Chongqiu and other places to contact Nanjun.

Or Yingchuan sends reinforcements, which can stabilize the situation and eliminate the need to flee.
