As soon as Xu Qing's words came out of his mouth, Luosheng felt speechless.
Originally, he thought that even if the Chu State wanted to go to war, they would have to find a reasonable excuse. As long as they had an excuse, She Zhao would have room to use this excuse to negotiate.
But now I asked you why you hit me, and the person on the other end said directly because I have no quality!
This...how can we talk about this?!
How can you deal with someone who is shameless on the other side?
But Pi Luosheng was so angry that he couldn't think of any solution.
Of course Xu Qing was so frank in order to silence She Zhao and make them give up the idea of peace talks as soon as possible.
Then, the large group of infantry and catapults were finally pulled up.
Then Zhentian Lei began to show its power, and three of the four city gates were blocked. The Chu army released Zhentian Thunder here, while the Zhenxi Army used siege cones to hit the city gates under the cover of thunder and fire.
.
The city gate also became crumbling under the power of the engineering cone.
None of the Shezhao people on the city wall had ever seen the power of firearms. Only a few generals had heard of firearms.
The soldiers on the city wall were almost scared out of their wits by the roar of thunder and the power of the explosion. They huddled on the city wall, not even daring to show their heads.
In their opinion, where is this weapon?
This is clearly a divine punishment!
If they go against the Chu State, God will rain down thunder and kill them.
There is naturally a reason why Xu Qing besieged three city walls and left the west wall without sending troops to attack.
This is the glimmer of hope Xu Qing left for them.
There is a saying that a sad army will win. If Xu Qing cuts off all their retreat routes and does not give them any hope of survival, then the combat effectiveness that this army can unleash will be absolutely terrifying.
Even if the Chu State cannot be defeated, it will cause huge casualties to the Chu State and the Zhenxi Army.
Such an approach is naturally not worth it.
So Xu Qing only surrounded three of them, leaving a sliver of hope for them.
As long as they have a retreat, they will not be able to unleash their potential, and Chu will be able to attack more smoothly.
And the reality was just as Xu Qing expected, because the power of the thunder and fire weapon greatly frightened the minds of Shezhao's army.
After several hours of continuous collisions, the gate of Shezhao Border City was finally knocked open.
Then General Long commanded the army to charge and seize the city.
Xu Qing did not participate in these. He had never fought in street battles or even commanded hand-to-hand combat.
Professional matters should be left to professional people, and it would be a disservice to them not to help.
Long Bing'er was about to charge but was stopped by Xu Qing.
Long Bing'er looked at Xu Qing and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xu Qing said, "Follow me to a good place and we'll watch a show."
Long Bing'er asked: "Where?"
Xu Qing said, "Come with me and you will know."
After that, Xu Qing led the shadow guard and rode away in one direction.
Long Bing'er no longer hesitated and followed closely on his horse.
After detouring for a long time, the two finally bypassed the border town and arrived at an official road outside the west city gate.
If Shezhao's army retreats, it will definitely pass through this official road, and Xu Qing will be here, waiting.
The army hid in the dense forest next to the official road and set up camp.
Long Bing'er stood in front of the tent and looked at Xu Qingdao: "You just brought this few people to surround Shezhao's army?"
Xu Qing counted on his fingers and said: "It's quite a lot, a total of five hundred people."
Long Bing'er's beautiful eyes widened: "You also know that you only brought 500 people. Shezhao State stationed an army of 200,000 in the border city. Even if your firearms were powerful, they caused a lot of casualties.
, but even if they are defeated and retreat, they can still withdraw tens of thousands of people, and they will also calculate the strength of your attack and decide whether to retreat. How can you use my 500 people to defeat tens of thousands of people?"
Xu Qing pretended to be mysterious and said: "The mountain man has his own clever plan."
Long Bing'er hummed, "I want to see what bad intentions you have after She Zhao is withdrawn."
Xu Qing said unhappily: "How can this be called a bad idea? This is a clever plan, okay?"
However, no matter how clever the plan was, Shezhao's army had not yet withdrawn from the border town.
Xu Qing could also guess the thoughts of Shezhao's army.
If the distance had been increased, Shezhao would definitely not be the opponent of the Chu State who had firearms.
But if it's a close-quarters fight on the street, the firearms on the other side won't be of use.
Street fighting is when they are most likely to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
Shezhao's army will definitely seize this opportunity and deal with it desperately.
It's a pity that what they didn't expect was that General Long was very good at street fighting.
This time, in addition to the Zhenxi Army, General Long also commanded the elite army of the Chu State.
For a moment, Shezhao's army was beaten and retreated, but it was still struggling to hold on.
As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain falling. If we retreat now, it will be difficult to regain the city.
Pirosheng won every battle, and he could not accept this defeat.
Soon night fell.
Xu Qing and his party still did not wait for the army of Shezhao to escape.
Xu Qing had no choice but to order spies to monitor the movements of Shezhao Kingdom for twelve hours.
On the other side, the remaining people camped in the dense forest and ate some simple dry food.
Just as it was getting darker and darker, a small camp was finally ready.
Wei Xiong came over and hugged Xu Qing and said, "Commander Qi, we don't have enough tents. This time we only brought the commander's tent..."
As he said that, Wei Xiong also looked at Long Bing'er, who was next to Xu Qing, with a troubled expression on his face.
Xu Qing immediately said: "How can men and women not be intimate with each other? I'll squeeze in with you! I'll give my tent to Bing'er."
Wei Xiong said: "Commander, we can't squeeze in anymore. We only have five hundred people this time, and our tents are already crowded again and again. Only your small tent is alone."
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er and said reluctantly: "The military career is full of uncertainties. If it doesn't work, you can only squeeze in with me."
When Wei Xiong heard this, he immediately held up his hands and said: "Since the commander has made arrangements, I will resign at the end!"
After saying that, Wei Xiong ran away immediately without waiting for Long Bing'er to speak.
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er and said: "I'm really wronging you. You see, Hua Mulan lived in Datongpu and everyone persisted. After so many years in the army, you wouldn't even squeeze in here with me."
Can’t you bear all this grievance?”
Long Bing'er's eyes evaded and said, "Who... who can't bear it anymore? How can a general care about this little difficulty? Humph..."
After saying that, Long Bing'er plucked up the courage to get into the tent.
Soon, Xu Qing also got in.
Xu Qing: "Bing'er, don't you even take off your armor when sleeping?"
Long Bing'er: "She Zhao probably expected an ambush here and retreated at night. What if I don't have time to put on my armor when the fight breaks out? Why do you care if I wear armor or not?"
Xu Qing: "Aren't I worried that you won't sleep well..."
