Chapter 323 Defrauding the city, seizing the country, the last straw [please book a ticket]
The State of Chu, also known as Jing, Jingchu, and the monarch is the Xiong family with the surname Mi.
During the period of King Cheng of Zhou, Xiong Yi, the leader of the Chu people, was named a viscount, and the state of Chu was officially established.
According to historical records, the Chu people were extremely poor and weak at the beginning of the country, and there were no cattle in the country, so they needed to steal cattle to worship.
But after hundreds of years of development, the state of Chu rose up in the Spring and Autumn Period since King Cheng of Chu, and continuously annexed the surrounding small vassal states. Zhou Tianzi bestowed Xun and ordered Chu to guard Zhongnan.
to Xiongtong arrogant, claiming to be the king, the king of Chu Wu.
When he came to King Zhuang of Chu, he won the top spot in the Central Plains, defeated Jin in the Battle of Qi, and became hegemon, creating the most prosperous era of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Its territory starts from Daba Mountain, Wushan Mountain and Wuling Mountain in the west, the sea in the east, Nanling in the south, and parts of central Henan, Shaanxi and Shandong in the north.
During the period of King Huai of Chu, the country was swallowed up, but due to the improper use of people by King Huai and the fraud of Zhang Yi, the prime minister of Qin, the country gradually declined.
Until this moment, the Qin army of 500,000 besieged the Chu capital Shouchun.
Chu had even suffered a losing streak before. After being trapped, his soldiers had no will to fight, and he had already shown signs of subjugation.
When Cao Yu walked out of the camp and came to the battlement, he saw the Qin army lined up outside the city, the armor was prepared, the drums were loud, and they were approaching Shouchun.
Brush Brush, clang!
The armor and skirt of the Qin army flew up and made a continuous metallic sound.
Cao Yu could even see the excited fighting spirit on the faces of the advancing Qin army.
The outcome of this battle has already been determined, and the contest between the two sides has already been completed outside of Shouchun.
Zhao Huaizhong and Si Ying plundered and plundered the cave of the sect, destroyed the arrangement of the sect, and shot Yu Qing in public, including the Qin army advancing from the westernmost side of the capital of the Chu kingdom, pushing forward step by step, until they marched thousands of miles and attacked most of the border of the Chu people. became a sieve.
After the war, Ye Yu Mansion and Chu Ren Mo Mansion fought against the cultivators.
All of this is to accumulate victory for the Qin army, create more favorable conditions for the final battle, and reduce its own consumption.
Until Yu Qing was shot and killed in public, the people of Chu were all on the verge of collapse.
So Wang Jian immediately attacked the city.
If Yu Qing had not been shot in public, Wang Jian might have been besieging the city until the Chu people collapsed.
However, after Yu Qing was shot, Wang Jian made a test and sent the Qin army to form a mysterious bird totem, approaching the head of Shouchun City. At that time, the Chu army did not respond **** for tat, Wang Jian knew that the time had come, and there was no need to continue to wait.
At this moment, the siege is following the general trend and will defeat the last will of the defenders.
On the ground, the Qin army pushed forward steadily.
High in the sky, Xuanniao and Kirin are also ready for battle.
Hoo!
The unicorn was the first to spit out purple flames, and the mysterious bird also spit out monstrous waves of fire, burning the city head!
This is like a signal, the Qin army is back, the sound of war drums shakes the clouds, and the sea of clouds rushes like a river.
Boom!
There is actually a mountain as high as a hundred feet, which was thrown out and smashed into Shouchun.
is a bronze giant.
The Chu army at the head of the city changed in shock and shouted in unison.
This scene is too moving.
In the back, the two bronze giants threw together.
For many days before, the mountains and boulders they moved to turn into stone bullets, smashing them towards Shouchun with the power of the mountains.
What city defense can resist such a powerful attack?
The defensive formations engraved on the head of Shouchun City are broken one after another.
Suddenly, the two bronze figures began to run towards Shouchun.
Their steps stepped on the ground, forming an air shock, and the ground was violently bumped.
The whole Shouchun is shaking.
The mountain shook.
saw one of the bronze figures, suddenly jumping up while running, his huge body was like a copper mountain.
It arches its body as hard as it can.
Another bronze figure grabbed the ankle of his companion, his whole body glowed, and the Jiuding in his dantian vibrated and threw it out with all his strength!
The void was filled with deafening sonic booms, and even the space seemed unable to bear the weight of the bronze figurine.
"Quick, block him."
Xiang Yan and Li Yuan, who had just climbed to the top of the city wall, were hoarse.
When the bronze figurine threw the stone, the already crumbling city defense, if the bronze figurine could not be stopped, it was likely to be directly broken.
But it was too late.
Chu Jun watched as the bronze man smashed into the air, and there was no time to gather strength to resist.
Boom!
The bronze man smashed on the city head, the impact was earth-shattering, the west city gate and the surrounding city wall collapsed.
The defensive spell patterns that were reinforced many times were broken at the same time.
The bronze man got up, with incantations flashing all over his body, he punched out, and a larger area of the city wall collapsed.
In the rear, the Qin army looked excited while shouting wildly, and launched a charge, approaching Shouchun.
when! Dangdang!
In the city, the town bell of the Chu people is playing.
Under Shouchun City, a force emanated from the earth, and a black-yellow mana light wall rose up, filling the missing position of the city wall and forming a new defense.
Immediately, the black-yellow mana rays of light surging from the entire leylines covered the city head.
The decline of the Chu people was temporarily stabilized.
The rear column of the Qin army.
Lian Po, Wang Jian, Meng Ao, three generals of the Qin army side by side.
"The Chu people still have a breath, but they have some foundation."
Lian Po said: "It seems that this battle is still to be fought."
"Chu people have accumulated national fortunes for eight hundred years. Naturally, after moving the capital to Shouchun, it has been arranged for many years. This layer of protective wall buried under the city wall is called the Zhenguo Wall.
The was induced by the people of Chu with the town bell, which is not unexpected. "
Wang Jian calmly said: "Let's see how the city changes."
Menghao was slightly surprised: "Is there any other arrangements in the city? Did the people from Ye Yufu touch the city?"
Wang Jian nodded slightly.
——
Shouchun.
Li Yuan was panic-stricken, and quickly entered the palace of the king of Chu to see the king of Chu, Xiong Han.
"Uncle, how are the Qin troops attacking the city?" Xiong Han asked eagerly.
The Zhenguo Bell was hanging beside him. At the last moment, it seemed that only this Zhenguo fairy bell could give him a little sense of security.
There were two old men dressed as valet standing beside him, with a strong aura.
Li Yuan looked slumped and shook his head slightly: "The Qin army is attacking the city with all its strength!
The two bronze figures of war threw the mountains into the city, and in a short period of time they broke the city defense and destroyed the city wall on the west side. "
"If the town bell hadn't been played, I'd be afraid that the Qin army would have already invaded the city."
Li Yuan suddenly knelt down slowly: "Your Majesty, this city... I'm afraid I can't hold it anymore.
The minister Li Yuan asked the king to take the great Chu as the top priority, leave the palace as soon as possible, and leave Shouchun! "
Xiong Han's face was pale, and he sat back on the throne silently, murmured, "I can't really hold the capital of Chu Kingdom?"
Li Yuan fell to the ground, weeping: "Yes, I discussed with General Xiang Yan, he also agreed.
That's why the minister returned from the city and advised the king to put himself first and the great Chu as the most important, and leave the palace as soon as possible, the sooner the better.
The Qin army may break the city at any time. "
"Most of my great Chu clan's old clan are in Jiangdong, and General Xiang Yan has also arranged a lot in Jiangdong before. The king retreated to Jiangdong, relying on natural dangers to defend.
With the king here, I still have hope. "
Li Yuan spoke quickly and quickly: "Your Majesty, make a decision quickly. If the Qin army enters the city, it will be too late to leave."
The Qin army besieged the city, and the situation in Shouchun was unbearable.
Xiong Han did not think about retreating to Jiangdong.
At this time, what Li Yuan said was reasonable, and Xiong Han briefly pondered, saying:
"Okay, the widow will go to collect the Immortal Grant Pillar, and then take my mother to Jiangdong, and my uncle will also be with the widow."
"Your Majesty don't have to worry about me, I shall defend the city with all my strength, buy time for Your Majesty to leave, and ensure that Your Majesty can reach Jiangdong safely."
After the two of them finished speaking, they both burst into tears.
Li Yuan began to call the palace servants to prepare.
In fact, the preparations have been prepared a long time ago. After all, it has been considered before. If Shouchun is broken, it must be evacuated in time.
After half an hour, the drums of war outside the city became more and more dense, and the cries of killing were faintly audible.
Xiong Han brought his mother Li Yan, seven favorite concubines, more than a dozen close attendants, some important officials such as close officials of the clan, the old man, as well as good players such as bodyguards.
There is another important thing, filled with nearly a hundred large boxes, and came to the underground palace of the Chu people.
In the underground space where the immortal corpse is located, circles of patterns light up on the ground.
The pattern of this secret room is the retreat left for the King of Chu.
The array pattern engraved on the ground is the ancient teleportation array recorded in an ancient book obtained when the Chu people destroyed the Yue Kingdom.
Enter the array pattern and can teleport hundreds of miles to ensure that Xiong Huan leaves Shouchun safely.
"Wang Er... do we have to go?"
Li Yan is dressed in light fur. Although she is nearly forty years old, her skin is as white as jade, and she is charming.
But at this moment, Qianjia Baimei's face was full of sadness: "Where's your uncle?"
"Don't worry, Auntie, the next day, the widow will be able to regain the land of Chu that was lost today. If the widow is there, Chu will not perish!"
"Uncle will come later, widow and grandmother will go first."
Xiong Han immediately let the attendant enter the teleportation pattern first, detect the other side, and make sure it is safe, so he let his mother Li Yan enter the teleportation pattern first.
He took one last look at the Great Chu Underground Palace, then walked into the formation pattern and disappeared.
Others followed and entered the pattern one after another.
Just after most of the people left, one of the guard generals who was in charge of taking care of the important items he was carrying suddenly smiled and took out a small gourd:
"Everyone, come out, most of the Chu people's family is here, I will take them back, the king will be happy."
The gourd glowed and walked out of the Ye Yufu generals such as Mu Qianshui, Mu Qingkong, Xia Xin, etc. one after another.
Several Chu guards who were in charge of guarding things were killed or captured by a group of people after a fierce battle.
The Chu family properties piled up in the underground palace were naturally put into the small gourd.
The Chu bodyguard with the gourd in his hand changed his body and changed his face, it was actually Li Yuan!
That's right, the real Li Yuan has been guarding the city all the time.
Fake Li Yuan is a famous face-changing general in Ye Yufu, who has made many meritorious deeds. Feng Huan, who once sneaked into Zhuxiandongtian with Laoyu!
He turned into Li Yuan and took the Chu King Xiong Han away. This seems to be a simple operation, but it was actually Ye Yufu who investigated the news in advance and prepared many arrangements, so that he could accurately grasp the every move of the Chu King, Li Yuan and others. , including his mentality, so he was able to show no flaws at all. Taking advantage of the situation, he deceived Xiong Han out of the Chu Palace and fled to Jiangdong.
On the other side of the teleportation pattern, it was not so easy for Xiong Han to leave, and the other generals of Ye Yufu were waiting.
At noon, the sun is high.
Outside the city, Wang Jian received the news that the city had succeeded, and immediately ordered the left and right:
"Send orders, Chu King Xiong Han has abandoned Shouchun and left, and the people of Chu will open the city to surrender immediately, otherwise we will kill without mercy when our army breaks the city!"
The sound of the drums suddenly became low, and tens of thousands of Qin troops shouted at the same time: "King of Chu Xionghan abandoned the city and fled, and the people of Chu are required to open the city and surrender, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!
Kill without mercy! "
The head of the city, Xiang Yan and Li Yuan looked at each other.
"What nonsense!"
If Xiong Han was going to leave, the two would definitely not know it.
However, soon there was a servant in the Chu Palace who came over.
was the one arranged by Xiong Han before he left, to urge the two to prepare early and leave the city as soon as possible.
Li Yuan and Xiang Yan are both important officials of Chu people, and they are quite relied upon by Xiong Han. Even if they go to Jiangdong, they cannot do without them.
Xiong Huan asked people to remind him that he secretly informed Li Yuan and Xiang Yan of how to use the teleportation array underground in the palace, leaving a retreat for the two to ensure that they could retreat and escape.
Xiang Yan said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty is really gone?"
The chamberlain said stunned: "Didn't Li Xiang and the general offer advice to urge the king to leave as soon as possible?"
Xiang Yan and Li Yuan looked at each other, and at the same time they reflected that they must be caught in the Qin people's strategy.
They hope that Xiong Han can retreat at the last moment and preserve the blood of the Great Chu clan, but it is definitely not now.
The city has not been broken, the King of Chu leaves first, how can this city be defended? !
Since the king abandoned the city, the will of the soldiers to defend the city will definitely weaken further.
More importantly, since he was caught in the Qin people's tactic, Xiong Han is afraid that he has also fallen into the Qin people's trap.
Big Chu... It's over!
Xiang Yan's face was like golden paper, his eyes turned black for a while, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood.
On the other side, Li Yuan was also pale, as if all his strength had been taken away, and he sat down softly on the ground.
At this time, the manpower arranged in advance by the Ye Yufu in the city was also running around, shouting loudly: "The king of Chu abandoned the city and left, the king of Chu abandoned the city and left, you can't kill when you open the city to surrender.
The King of Chu abandoned the city and fled..."
In late April, the afternoon of Shouchun.
The king of Chu, Xionghan, abandoned the city and fled, becoming the last straw that broke the will of the defenders.
