Yingdu.
Bai Qi's 30,000 Qin army had just achieved a great victory that shocked the whole world. Now, with the power of victory, their fighting spirit was high.
After several days of fierce attacks, morale remains unabated!
After a whole day of fighting, Bai Qi's Qin army retreated with their troops... As the sun set, the golden glow of the setting sun shone on the blood-stained walls of Yingdu, reflecting a horrific scene.
The corpses of Qin and Chu people are everywhere!
The Chu soldiers on the city wall were already exhausted, and now they mustered up their last bit of energy to push the corpses off the city wall one by one.
Regardless of whether it was the corpses of Qin soldiers or Chu soldiers, they were all pushed down from the city wall.
The city bricks were covered with blood, and the shoes made a "gurgling" sound when stepped on.
A bloody footprint was immediately left.
There were also the soldiers of Chu who were resting against the battlements - if their chests were not still heaving, it would be hard to tell whether they were alive or corpses.
Various elements come together to form a horrifying and bloody picture.
This is a rare and brutal bloody battle!
This is not the fallen Wuguan, not Danyang, not Huainan - this is Yingdu, the royal city of Yingdu!
The capital of the Chu people! Where the royal palace is! The location of the tombs of past kings!
Never lose it!
Even though the soldiers and civilians in the city were close to despair, their determination to defend Yingdu was still firm - many men who were not of the right age also took up arms and stood on the top of the city.
Although the Chu State is large, behind it is the capital of Ying!
We have no way out!
We can only fight to the end!
How long can we hold on? I'm afraid no one knows...Five days? Three days?
If the walls of Yingdu were not really tall and strong, they would have been breached by Bai Qi long ago...
But what is certain is that after the Qin soldiers invade the capital of Ying, there will be a massacre.
Therefore, Yingdu will never surrender!
…
Prince Mi Heng, escorted by several imperial soldiers and several chamberlains, walked onto the city wall.
The sunset has already set, and the last trace of the afterglow still shines here.
Several soldiers hurriedly carried large buckets of water and splashed it on the ground. The condensed blood turned into blood and was washed out of the city wall along the gaps in the bricks and stones.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have been completely washed away - the masonry is still dark red.
"The prince is inspecting!" the chamberlain shouted loudly: "The prince is working hard! The great Chu will be victorious!"
Respondents were few and far between.
Most of the Chu soldiers were still sitting on the ground silently, with their heads lowered, breaking off the dry food with their hands still stained with dried blood, and swallowing it bit by bit.
Mi Heng didn't mean to blame them - in fact, Mi Heng was stunned by this tragic scene.
"Guard Yingdu! Guard Yingdu!" Mi Heng's voice was hoarse, trying to boost morale: "The enemy's army does not have much food and grass. If we hold on for a little longer, our army will win!"
The Chu soldiers remained silent.
Defend Yingdu?
It is true that one can defend to the death and shed the last drop of blood in order to prevent his wife and children from being massacred.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before the city is captured by the Qin army.
Even if the 30,000 Qin troops could be stopped for a while, there would still be Sima Cuo's nearly 200,000 troops behind them.
Can't hold it.
Sooner or later, everyone will die. Everyone just wants to try their best and die heroically.
"Where is General Jin?" Mi Heng thought of the commander of the Forbidden Army who was familiar with him.
On the city wall, a Imperial Guard soldier stood up unsteadily. His body was covered in blood and his armor was almost invisible - Mi Heng was startled.
This heavily armored forbidden army usually serves as a guard of honor for the royal family of the Chu Kingdom. They always have bright armor... When have you ever seen such a mess?
The Imperial Guard soldier on top of the city whispered: "Earlier today, General Jin was seriously injured and jumped down from the city with a Qin Army centurion in his arms..."
Deathly silence.
…
After several days of attack and defense, many houses in Yingdu were demolished - mostly for the purpose of rolling wood and stone.
All the common people who could afford weapons also stood on the city wall.
The noble ministers in the city also gritted their teeth - facing the issue of life and death, they had no choice but to fight tooth and nail.
Under the mobilization of Zhaoju and the prince, many nobles and nobles took the last servants at home and walked onto the city wall of Yingdu to fight to the death with the Qin army.
The aristocratic power of Chu State will definitely be severely damaged after this battle...
The entire city was shrouded in the blood of despair... The Qin army's attacks became more powerful day by day, and there were no more soldiers... The city was about to be destroyed...
…
At this time, Xiong Wuliang's army was still three days away from Yingdu.
The battle flags of Quyang's new army were fluttering, and Xiong Wuliang was sitting on the bronze chariot with a normal expression, as if he had completely suppressed the anger in his heart.
The piles of corpses of Chu people on the roadside no longer seem to arouse Xiong Wuliang's anger.
Only Xiao Hei, who is often by Xiong Wuliang's side, knows that his little master has turned this rage into substance. Although it has not exploded at this moment, it has only been suppressed.
When this volcano erupts, it will be even more terrifying!
The allied forces of Qin, Wei and South Korea burned, killed, looted and massacred countless people on the territory of Chu - they will surely bear Xiong Wuliang's anger and ruthless revenge!
After killing three thousand-man troops of the Qin army, the Qin people seemed to no longer go around killing them unscrupulously - they did not encounter any more Qin, Wei and Han soldiers along the way.
As a result, Xiong Wuliang's marching speed will of course be faster.
In addition to the 10,000 Quyang new troops brought out from the fiefdom and the 10,000 valiant cavalry troops on guard duty, Xiong Wuliang gathered many broken troops along the way - these Chu soldiers with low morale were not even equipped with weapons, and many of them had All injured.
But when they saw Xiong Wuliang's missing horn flag, an astonishing look burst out from their eyes!
"It's the flag of Quyanghou!"
"Marquis Quyang has gone to war! Chu State is saved!"
"Kill! Follow Marquis Qu Yang! Avenge the countless people of Guizhou who died tragically in Da Chu!"
"Long live Marquis Quyang!"
"The Kingdom of Chu will not perish!"
…
These defeated troops were gathered together by Xiong Wuliang's Hou Banner, and some Chu people whose homes were massacred were eager for revenge, and they spontaneously followed Xiong Wuliang's bronze chariot...
All the way into Yingdu, the number of people under his command increased!
"How is the situation in Yingdu?" Xiong Wuliang called Huang Wu and asked.
Huang Wu cupped his hands and replied: "The situation is not optimistic - it may last for a few more days, or it may be defeated by the Qin soldiers overnight..."
Xiong Wuliang thought for a moment and finally shook his head slowly: "Yingdu is of great significance and cannot be lost."
"Now that Yingdu is still here, we can still gather people's hearts and try again."
"If Yingdu falls into the hands of the Qin people, I'm afraid the situation is over... and they will probably surrender."
After saying that, Xiong Wuliang reached out and took off the missing corner flag that was stuck on the bronze chariot and handed it to Huang Wu: "Go and send out the fastest spies."
"Send this flag into the capital of Ying at all costs!"
"Tell them - hold on! Hold on for three more days! I'm coming!"
Huang Wu looked solemn, took the flag with both hands, and bowed deeply: "I will live up to my lord's responsibility!"
