In Sishui City, Xiang Liang had repelled Zhang Han's several attacks. Both sides suffered damage. However, because the Qin army's siege equipment was quite sharp, the Chu army who defended the city suffered more casualties. Fan Zeng and Xiang Liang fought again.

We climbed to the top of the city once, on the one hand to see the movements of the Qin army below the city, and on the other hand to cheer up the soldiers guarding the city. In the past few days, many Chu troops have fallen on the top of the city, and now morale has begun.

He was depressed. Looking at the murderous spirit outside the city, Xiang Liang had to admire him and said: "This Zhang Han is indeed a famous general of the Qin Dynasty. He has been able to keep the soldiers with such strong fighting spirit after conquering a city these days.

I really admire you.”

"Actually, this is also a manifestation of the Qin army's long experience in the battlefield. Perhaps for them, the city of Surabaya will be captured by them soon." Fan Zeng saw that Xiang Liang was a little discouraged and said hurriedly, "As long as our troops from the Chu State have experienced more times,

In the next war, they will naturally be as indomitable as they are."

At this moment, a large number of siege teams once again appeared in the Qin army's formation, shouting and rushing towards Surabaya City like a tide. When this "tide" reached the city, it dispersed like water hitting a boulder.

People from all directions began to set up the ladders, and several groups of strong soldiers rushed towards the city gate carrying huge logs, which meant that another battle had begun.

The archers at the top of the city immediately shot arrows at the Qin soldiers carrying giant trees. At the same time, the boiling water that had been boiling on the city was also carried by the soldiers and slowly tilted it on the city wall, waiting for the Qin soldiers.

Climb up the ladder and pour water down. This is also because there are not many feather arrows left in the city, so Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng came up with a countermeasure. Unexpectedly, it is quite effective after a try, and the materials required for boiling water

It is also very easy to obtain. All you need is some firewood, a cauldron, and someone to carry some water. It is low-cost and quick to obtain. Seeing that the Qin people had climbed to the middle of the ladder, the generals guarding the city

He hurriedly gave the order: "Down!" The huge pot was turned upside down, and the boiling water inside poured towards the Qin army below. The Qin soldier at the front picked up a huge shield to block it.

It was above him, but he still couldn't block all the boiling water. Some of it poured on him. He let out a cry of pain. As soon as his hands were loosened, he fell down from the ladder and fell to the ground.

A ball of flesh and blood. Some of the sergeants behind him were also knocked down by him. For a time, Qin troops were thrown down the ladders by the Chu people's boiling water all over the wall. At the same time, the soldiers who wanted to hit the city gate were also shot by the Chu army's bows and arrows.

A lot of people were killed. Although when one person fell, another Qin army stepped forward to take his place. However, after only a few collisions, this group of Qin soldiers had already suffered numerous casualties.

Looking at this situation, Zhang Han knew that the attack would fail again, so he began to withdraw all the Qin soldiers. At the same time, he ordered the crossbowmen to shoot arrows at the city wall and shoot down all their archers. The Qin State

The crossbow machine has a much longer range than ordinary bows and arrows, so even though it is under the city, the crossbow arrows are still very threatening. After a while, many archers in the Chu army got arrows. After suppressing the opponent

After the archers, Zhang Han once again ordered people to hit the city gate. With the sound of "crash", the city gate began to shake and was about to be knocked open.

But at this time, Xiang Liang had already transported the pots of water to the top of the city gate. With a command, the position of the city gate became a water curtain hole, and it was still a steaming water curtain hole. After a while,

When they saw the Qin soldiers holding their heads and screaming, they threw away the giant trees and ran back to their formation.

Seeing that Zhang Han could not break through the city gate this time, he had to order people to call for gold and withdraw his troops until he could think of a way to defeat the enemy. After the Chu army in the city repelled the Qin army's attack, they killed Pao Zeyun.

They went down to the city to bury it, and at the same time, some people went to the city gate to reinforce the city gate with earth and stones and repair the damaged parts. If it hadn't been for their timely repairs, I am afraid that the city gate would have fallen down under the impact of the Qin army.

Although this battle did not last too long, the danger was no less than a long battle, and the casualties were considerable. Xiang Liang saw that those who died were all masters of bows and arrows, and felt sad in his heart.

It is bleeding, and if it continues, there will be fewer and fewer people in the city who can use bows and arrows to cause huge casualties to the Qin army.

After Zhang Han returned to camp outside the city, he found that he had lost nearly a thousand men and horses. At the same time, many soldiers were scalded by boiling water. They would not be able to go to the battlefield again in a short time. He looked at the impregnable Surabaya City with hatred.

, Zhang Han vowed that once he took over the city, he would kill all the living people in the city in order to vent his hatred.

Just when Xiang Liang was fighting the Qin soldiers in Surabaya, the King of Chu was furious because he had received news from the East China Sea that Donghai County had been occupied by Xiang Yu: "I have always thought that Xiang Yu left Kuaiji with his army.

In a moment of anger, he did not send troops to pursue and suppress him. It was because he occupied

Forget it, I just wanted to kill Jiujiang City, but now he takes advantage of the chaos to seize one of our counties at this critical moment of life and death in Chu State. It seems that he really has a disloyal heart. I swear to capture him alive.

He was sentenced to death in front of the people of Chu." He threw the bamboo slips in his hands to the ground.

Qu Dou has been very unpopular with the King of Chu ever since the incident in Song Yi. If his power had not been so strong that he could no longer be defeated, the King of Chu would have even removed him from the position of Ling Yin. However,

Even so, his power can no longer be compared with that of the past few days, so he hates the Xiang family deeply in his heart. Of course he will not give up this opportunity. He picked up the item from the ground.

bamboo slips

, read the above content, and then calmly said: "Your Majesty, it seems that you have been deceived by Xiang Liang and the others. Think about it, if Xiang Liang hadn't held the two hundred thousand horses of our great Chu, Xiang Yu would be so

Do you have the courage to send troops to seize our Donghai County? Moreover, I heard from Song Yi that he has no intention of supporting troops to respect himself, otherwise he would not have given up military power to Xiang Liang just because of an edict from the king. Moreover, I heard

Although Xiang Liang had an army of 200,000, he was huddled in the city of Sishui, passively being beaten. I know that the reason why Xiang Liang said that General Song was self-reliant was because of what the people in the city said, and he also mentioned both.

It is said that General Song only knew how to confront the Qin people but did not know how to send troops to attack. But now it seems that Xiang Liang's behavior is not as good as General Song. He even allowed the Qin people to attack and did not know how to fight back. So I think

The one who really has different intentions is the Xiang family. Among them, Xiang Liang controls all the soldiers and horses of our great Chu. Outside, there is Xiang Yu who leads the troops to continuously invade our great Chu territory. Once they think the time is right, our great Chu world will be destroyed.

The surname is Xiang. Your Majesty, how can your Majesty still believe such ministers with sinister intentions?" After saying so many words, Qu Dou knelt on the ground and secretly glanced at King Chu's expression with his eyes.

King Chu was a little impatient with Qu Dou's long speech at first, but then he showed a thoughtful expression. By the time Qu Dou reached the end of his speech, King Chu was completely moved by him, with murderous intent in his eyes: "Then, according to Qu Qing,

What do you mean, how should I deal with them? After all, their two uncles and nephews now control all the soldiers and horses of our great Chu."

"Today, Xiang Liang still has to pretend that he is doing his best for our great Chu, so now he does not dare to disobey the king's will. Why doesn't the king take away his military power now and replace it with other generals to lead the army?

?And if he is willing to hand over the general power easily, it also shows that he still has the king in his heart, and the king can also ask him for clarity." Qu Dou said hurriedly.

The King of Chu thought for a long time and then said: "But now that our army has gone to war with the Qin army, won't the change of commander in front of the battle cause the morale of the army to be shaken?"

"Your Majesty, you are overly worried. Our army is twice as large as Qin's army. In addition, we are defending the city. The morale of the army must be as strong as a rock. How can it be shaken by changing the general? Your Majesty, you must continue to make decisive moves and counterattack.

I'm in trouble. If Xiang Liang and the others had taken action first, I'm afraid the king's life would not have been saved." Qu Dou kept encouraging the King of Chu in his words.

"Then who should I send as general? There are really too few generals available in my court." King Chu asked

"I think Liu Bang is fine. If the king doesn't trust him, he can keep his wife and children as hostages. I am also willing to hand over my wife and children to the king's care. Then I will go to Sishui City with Liu Bang and the king's decree to kill him."

Xiang Liang handed over the military power." When Qu Dou saw that the King of Chu had made a move, he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said directly that even the King of Chu's suspicions were expressed.

"Okay, since Qu Qing said so, I should agree with you. Now it's up to you to convey my decree to Liu Bang."

"Yes, I will go to Liu Bang's mansion right now." After saying that, Qu Dou hurried away, leaving only the King of Chu alone in the palace with his thoughts up and down.

After listening to Qu Dou's words, Liu Bang knew that this was his best opportunity to deal with the Xiang family, so he said happily: "Okay, since it is the king's decree, I should share my worries for my great Chu. I will prepare now and go with you."

Mr. Qu will go to Surabaya together."

After returning to the back hall, Liu Bang told his wife Lu Pheasant exactly what had happened. Lu Pheasant looked at Liu Bang and said, "It seems that Pei Gong's ambition to go this time is not small. I wonder if you can guarantee the safety of me and my children."

Where is life?"

When Liu Bang heard that Lu Pheasant actually called him the same title as before, he knew that his smart wife had guessed what he was thinking, so he said: "Madam, don't worry, as long as I, Liu Bang, gain military power, then the King of Chu will not

If I dare to do anything to you again, just wait peacefully in Kuaiji City for me to come back with my army." After saying that, he walked out of the door without looking back.

Lu Pheasant looked at his back, with deep thoughts in his eyes. He seemed to believe his words, but at the same time he didn't seem to take it seriously.
