The next morning, Linyou went outside the city.

In order to avoid Zhou Yin's attack on food and grass, Peng Yue approached Linyou's territory from the waterway.

However, before he could get ashore, he saw smoke and dust rolling above Linyou City.

"Come on, go and see what's going on!" Peng Yue stood at the bow of the boat and shouted loudly.

Not long after, a deputy general walked up and reported to him: "General Peng Yue, Linyou City was besieged by the Qin army. At present, the two gates in the west and south of the city have lost their filling, and the north and east of the city are still resisting!"

"Aren't there 80,000 defenders in Linyou City?" Peng Yue said in surprise: "Why were the two gates so quickly?"

"The specific situation is not clear at the end. The fleeing Chu army said that the Qin army dispatched three armies to attack three sides, with the number of people far exceeding the defenders in Linyou City!"

"How is this possible? Where did so many Qin troops come from?"

As soon as Peng Yue finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and slapped his forehead.

Could it be that Li Xin’s Jiuyuan Army is here?

If Li Xin and Zhao Kun meet, Lin You will definitely not be able to defend!

But this is not right. If Li Xin came, why didn’t Xiang Yu come?

Could it be that he will not save him when he sees death?!

After thinking about it, Peng Yue felt something was strange, but he didn't make any statement. He immediately changed the topic and said, "Yonghe, I remember you said last time that Wang Xin met a concubine who was as beautiful as a fairy. Is there anything wrong with this?"

Yonghe didn't expect Peng Yue to ask a concubine at this time, and he couldn't help but look strange.

But hesitated for a moment and nodded sincerely: "It's true!"

Of course he would not think that Peng Yue would attack Xiang Yu's concubine, after all, no one dared to mess with Xiang Yu's power.

However, he seemed to underestimate Peng Yue's curiosity, but saw Peng Yue ask with interest: "Do you know where she is?"

Yong He looked at Peng Yue with a surprised look on his face, and then said calmly: "What does General Peng Yue mean?"

"It's nothing else, it's just that the king's concubine is in trouble. As ministers, we should be rescued!" Peng Yue replied with a faint expression.

"this....."

Yonghe hesitated for a moment and said strangely: "There should be no problem with the dragon and the general guarding me!"

Hearing this, Peng Yue said righteously: "Linyou is full of dangers now. Even if General Long Qi is extremely powerful, he cannot take care of everyone. What's more, now is the moment of Linyou's crisis. How can we distract General Long Qi?"

Yonghe thought about it and felt something was right, so he asked tentatively: "With the general's opinion, how should we deal with it?"

"According to the views of this general, we might as well help Linyou defenders, let them escape from Linyou and reunite with the king!" Peng Yue pondered.

"Where is the food and grass on the ship?"

"First place the food and grass on the riverside, free up the empty boat, wait for the Long Gang General to arrive, and then escape by boat!"

"Okay! I will make arrangements immediately!"

After saying that, Yonghe bowed and was about to turn around and leave.

“Let’s wait——!”

Peng Yue raised his hand to stop Yonghe and reminded: "Don't forget to save the king's concubine!"

"promise!"

Yonghe responded to the promise and retreated.

Peng Yue watched him leave, his eyes narrowed slightly, thinking.

…………

On the other side, the east gate of Linyou City.

After a bloody battle in the middle of the night, Qin and Chu began a final hand-to-hand fight.

The blood in the sky filled the morning fog, with residual limbs flying, screaming loudly. A Chu army soldier fell in a pool of blood, and their robes continued, as if they were not afraid of life and death.

The Qin army's assault infantry also suffered heavy casualties in the bloody battle of the Chu army, but whenever a Qin army fell, the Qin army behind them would step on the bodies of their brothers and step forward to keep the formation intact.

The fierce battle continued, Long Qi stood behind the formation and looked at the battlefield with a serious expression. He didn't know how long his existing troops could last, so he could only fight until the last moment.

"Even if this Qin army attacks the city, it still maintains effective advancement, without rushing to other directions. This shows how powerful the generals of this Qin army are!"

Long Qi said with a little emotion, then turned to look at Huan Chu: "Huan Chu, will the King's reinforcements really come?"

"Yes!"

Huan Chu said firmly: "Short after we ignited the beacon, fireworks were also lit in the direction of Chaishan. I believe that in another hour or two, the king's reinforcements will come to save us!"

"Can we last for that long in one or two hours?"

Ji Bu said with a wry smile.

"Why can't we persist if the Qin army can persist?"

Long Qi looked at Ji Bu with some displeasure, immediately pulled out his sword, and said coldly: "Tell me that I will order you. Ji Bu will lead five thousand soldiers to cut off the Qin army from the right side. You cannot break the formation. Come and see you!"

"What does the general mean? Even if I, Ji Bu, speak inappropriately, will I not be able to die if I, sin?"

Ji Bu's face turned dark when he heard Long Qi's order.

Huan Chu, who was standing beside him, also comforted him in a low voice: "General, the Qin army is strong at present. At this time, General Ji Bu will be sent to break the formation. There is a lot of danger. I think it is better to guard here and wait for the king's reinforcements..."

"No!"

Before Huan Chu finished speaking, Long Qi waved his hand and said seriously: "It's no different to staying here than waiting for death. Have you forgotten the secret weapon of the Qin army? If the Qin army attacks from the sky, we will die without a place to bury!"

As the only general who has experienced air strikes, Long Qi knew the horror of the "Hot Air Balloon Air Force". It was the helplessness that others could only hit you, but you could not hit others.

It's a completely crushing existence.

Now gathering together is just a living target for the "Air Force", so we must face the enemy separately.

However, not everyone can understand Long Ji, so when his orders were issued, Ji Bu and his generals refused to accept the order.

"Ji Bu, do you really want to disobey the military order?" Long Qi looked at Ji Bu with his eyes narrowed.

Ji Bu said without fear: "You and I are the generals under the command of the king. What power do you have to command me? Besides, you were a prisoner when you were in the Qin camp. Why should I believe you?!"

"presumptuous--!"

Hearing Ji Bu's words, Long Qi was furious and was about to wave his sword to take action.

At this time, Huan Chu hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Long Qie: "General Long Qie cannot be, the enemy is in front of you, do not fight with each other!"

"Yes, General Long, please calm down!"

Seeing this, the other generals also dissuaded Long Qi.

Long Qi ignored them and just looked at Ji Bu coldly and said in a cold voice: "Ji Bu, do you really want to go against me?"

"It's not me who is against you, it's you who is against me!" Ji Bu said expressionlessly: "If you want to kill me, even if you attack, I don't frown. If I defeat me and die, I will never let you do it!"

When the generals heard this, they all pleaded with mercy: "General Long Qi is generous. Even if General Ji Bu is inappropriate, please spare him this time!"

"Hahaha--!"

Suddenly, Long Qi laughed loudly, making the generals confused.

Amid laughter, Long Qi looked around the generals and joked: "What do you think of Long Qi as? Long Qi is highly valued by the king, so how can he do things in the same family today?"

"Don't worry, generals, letting General Ji Bu break the formation this time is a strategy to lure the enemy. Han Xin is very tricky and may not let us wait for the king's reinforcements arrive, so I decided to give up Lin You first, escape from the city and join the king, and then annihilate the Qin army!"

"The reason I chose General Ji Bu was because the general on the right was Zhonglimei. It is rumored that General Ji Bu and Zhonglimei had a deep relationship. General Ji Bu broke the formation and achieved twice the result with half the effort. Even if he couldn't break the formation, he should be free of life by chance!"

Hearing this, the generals suddenly realized, and Ji Bu's face turned red, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.

However, Long Qi did not get entangled with Ji Bu and asked again: "I wonder if General Ji Bu can accept the order?"

"I will say inappropriately, and I hope the general will forgive me. This time, I will lure the enemy, and I will do my best!" Ji Bu bowed.

Gu Ju

Long Qi nodded with a smile, and then instructed Huan Chu: "Huan Chu, our army withdraws from Linyou, don't forget Miss Yu Ji, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the king!"

"Okay! I'll go to pick up Miss Yu Ji in person!"

Huan Chu responded and was about to turn around and leave. At this time, a soldier ran from afar and said to Long Qi: "General Long Qi, General Peng Yue has heard news that he has arrived at the south bank of Jingshui!"

"Peng Yue was ordered by the king to carry food and grass back to Linyou. Why did he run to the south bank of Jingshui?" Long Qi frowned.

"It is said that he was attacked by the Qin army and had to go on the water route. Now he is transporting grain and grass to the river bank and preparing to pick us up!"

"How did he know that our army was going to retreat?"

"This subordinate is not clear about it. Only General Peng Yue's secret letter. Please give me a look!"

As the commander said, he quickly took out the secret letter and handed it to Long Qie.

Long Qi took the secret letter and looked at it. His face darkened, and he turned to hand the secret letter to Huan Chu.

After reading the secret letter, Huan Chu immediately exclaimed: "Miss Yu Ji was actually picked up by Peng Yue on the boat?"

"snort!"

Long Qi snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "This kind of villain is not enough to plan!"
