Chapter 123: Wei Teng’s meritorious service 1

() Xiang Yan's heart was filled with unknown fire. Now, instead of trying to hide his strength and wait for the consequences, he prepared calmly and ordered all the catapults and stones originally prepared by the Chu army to be pushed away.

Come up. About two-quarters of an hour later, the Chu and Wei coalition forces were ready. The catapults of the army under the tower began to launch. Waves of deafening sounds exploded like thunder, and countless stones were thrown from the ground.

It smashed into the air with great force, making a muffled sound. At this time, there was no sound on the city tower. After the rain of stones passed, suddenly, a piece of silk cloth about one and a half feet long hung down from the city tower, with thick ink writing on it.

A string of dark and tall seal-shaped characters...

The calligraphy said: "Thank you General Xiang for the gift of the stone!" Almost all of the soldiers were illiterate. When they saw the cloth, they didn't know what it meant. Many people were stunned, but turned to look at each other.

, only some generals and others were immediately ashamed and angry when they saw this word. Naturally, Xiang Yan had already noticed such a change. His eyes widened at this moment, and he couldn't help but stood up from the top of the chariot.

He came out, holding the railing of the car tightly with both hands, and his eyes seemed to roll out of their sockets. After this deathly silence, suddenly someone on the tower laughed loudly and drank: "Thank you, General Xiang."

The gift of stone!”

While he was talking, a tall figure in armor stood up at the top of the city, bowed from a distance, and shouted loudly: "The original king is too busy to take care of Nanyang, and there are not enough arrows in the city. Fortunately, General Xiang is considerate of me.

My heart, I have specially given you countless stones. I can’t thank you enough for General Xiang’s kindness!” Wei Teng pretended to salute Xiang Yan again. Then he grinned, waved his hand heavily, and shouted loudly: “My dear men,

I would also like to thank General Xiang for his warm hospitality the past few days!"...

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yan couldn't help but blushed with anger, and her throat felt sweet. Under the humiliation and anger, a mouthful of hot blood spurted out with a long "puff" and spread all over the floor! Once this blood spurts out,

When he came out, his face turned as pale as paper. Xiang Rong saw this scene when he arrived. He was so frightened that he shouted: "Father, are you feeling ill?"

Xiang Yan felt that her heart was on fire and she almost burst out of anger. At this moment, when she listened to her son's question, she suppressed the feeling of rage in her heart. She instinctively felt that something was wrong, and did not bother to wipe the blood on her cheeks, and said sternly:

"The people of Qin are being deceived. Quickly order everyone in the army to retreat five miles!" His tone was urgent, but in the end it was a little late. While Xiang Yan was giving instructions, and before Xiang Rong had time to answer, there was suddenly a burst of sound from the top of the city tower.

There was a "rumbling" sound when the catapult was launched, and countless stones rained down. Many people looked up and suddenly panicked. "Dong dong dong dong" kept making a muffled sound, and the stones fell on the ground.

The loud noise when it hit the ground and the screams when it hit people made Xiang Yan's eyes turn red.

Screams were heard from everywhere! Almost most of the people standing at the forefront were killed or injured. Such stones fell down, and they fell from a high place. The stones were densely packed, and there was no place to hide. Coupled with the momentum, almost everyone was hit.

The person's body is a bloody mess. After such a blow, as long as his limbs are not hit, there is almost no way to survive! In order to make the Chu people meritorious, and because the attack in the previous few days was fruitless, Xiang Yan thought that this

The Qin army will be defeated later! Xiang Yan is a scheming man. Although he is fair in doing things and has a high reputation in Chu, as long as he is a human being, it is inevitable that he will be selfish. He believes that it is only a matter of time to capture Nanyang. Since he

If you want to help Changping Lord Xiong Qi achieve great things, then his power cannot be reduced but must be enhanced! With all these thoughts, under the assumption that Nanyang County will definitely be won, he is placed at the forefront so that he can gain military glory. Naturally, he is

Xiang Yan’s confidant!

At this time, where the catapult was aimed, almost all of the casualties were a large number of his cronies. When Xiang Yan saw this scene, his heart suddenly felt like a knife was cutting him, his eyes were red, and he was about to bleed! At this moment, Xiang Yan thought

He was ready to die, but the matter was far more than that. Once the Qin army gained the advantage, Wei Teng did not give up. Instead, he waited for a break from the stone rain and looked at the people below who were as panicked as ants on a hot pot.

Everyone immediately grinned and roared: "Thank you so much, Mr. Xiang, for the gift of stones. There are now a lot of stones in the city. They were originally the first contribution of Mr. Xiang. When the general comes to Xianyang in the end, he will definitely repay the favor to your Majesty. Your Majesty.

If you are moved by the general, you will surely welcome him as a minister!"

These words made people in the Wei army suddenly feel excited! Many people who were illiterate didn't understand what the cloth meant at first. Now that they saw so many stones raining and the Qin soldiers' counterattack, there was nothing they didn't understand.

In an instant, many people were like a pot exploding. Many people began to doubt whether Xiang Yan was related to the Qin soldiers. In the past few days, he did not order the city to be attacked, but only used catapults to attack. Many people thought this way, and then

There is no fighting spirit left, regardless of the loud beating of the war drums. At this moment, his heart is full of anger. The blood at the corner of Xiang Yan's mouth has not dried yet. When he heard this, he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

He vomited it out, couldn't hold it in any longer, and cursed fiercely: "Shu Zi!"

Xiang Rong saw that his face was ashen and furious. Although he was angry, he was more worried about Xiang Yan's health. Seeing that he was so angry that his body shook twice, fearing that he would do something bad out of his anger, he quickly pressed the button

Sheathed the sword and strode forward to support him, saying worriedly: "General, please take care of yourself. Why get so angry over such a trivial matter!" It was okay if he didn't persuade him, but when he did, Xiang Yan felt more and more shameless on his face.

, was so angry that the veins on his forehead burst out, he pushed his son away all of a sudden, his eyes were red, he was panting like a cow, his chest couldn't help but rise and fall, he pulled out the long sword that was originally hanging on his waist with a "clang", and shouted sternly:

"Attack the city! Immediately attack the city gate with people. A certain family will definitely wash away this humiliation with blood today!"

At this time, Xiang Yan was like an enraged beast, with a face full of evil spirits. Xiang Rong saw that although his voice was hoarse but full of murderous intent, he immediately knew that Xiang Yan was really angry. How could he dare to rebel at this moment?

What's more, Xiang Rong himself felt that attacking a city with brute force was far more satisfying than using strategy, so when he heard what he said, he immediately agreed to most of it. He only suffered a few losses from the Qin people, and even this

A man who acted straightforwardly and only wanted to be cheerful couldn't help but feel a little wary in his heart. Xiang Yan, who was usually calm, was so angry that he lost all reason. He was also afraid of falling into the Qin people's tricks again.

Xiang Yan would be even more angry when the time came, so Xiang Rong resisted the urge to agree and said cautiously:

"It's just the general. The Qin people are cunning and deceitful. I'm afraid they will use this to anger the general and make him attack the city, but they have other tricks waiting for them."

If it were normal, Xiang Yan would feel relieved when he saw that his son knew how to use his brain. But he had just suffered a loss from Wei Teng, and now he was so angry that Xiang Rong's cautious words

Like adding fuel to a fire, a 'boom' sound burned his reason to ashes, and he vented all his anger on his son. He didn't care that there were personal guards and entourage around him at this time.

He tore off the long sword hanging on his body, threw the sword and scabbard at his son, and cursed:

"Idiot! The Nanyang city wall was shaken by the earthquake, and now most of it has been destroyed by catapults. However, the Qin people are closed in and only defend the city gate. It must be that the city is empty and insufficient, so they can't move forward and dare not come out to fight.

, to conserve our troops and wait for reinforcements to arrive. You only know the bravery of a reckless man, but your actions are brave and reckless. Now you are cowering away. It is really disappointing to me. Why don't you hurry up and lead the troops to attack the city? If it is too late, I will definitely

Dispose of it with military law!" Xiang Yan's curses were loud as thunder, and he was obviously very angry. Xiang Rong did not dare to hide, and with a 'snap' sound, the sword hit his face and the bridge of his nose.

Immediately, a sharp pain came, and two streaks of bright red nosebleeds flowed down his lips. A long sword scabbard was printed on his forehead starting from the left bevel and going downwards. Even the pattern on the scabbard was gone.

It hit Xiang Rong in the face.

Xiang Rong suffered a nosebleed after receiving this blow, but he just stretched out his hand to wipe it away. Obviously, he was beaten frequently, and he didn't even cry out in pain. He has thick skin and thick flesh.

In front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, I am quite old. Not to mention that I am still in charge now. I even have a wife. But today, I was slapped in public. The pain was second to none. Suddenly my self-esteem was a bit unbearable, but

It was his father who beat him. Xiang Rong could only swallow his breath, but he was a little unconvinced in his heart. He had already talked to Xiang Yan about attacking by force, but Xiang Yan always thought that the catapult would attack.

The city's law is effective, but it was postponed until now just to be safe. Unexpectedly, today he will be beaten and scolded.

Although he was aggrieved in his heart, Xiang Rong did not dare to argue. He just swallowed his answer and said. When Xiang Yan was furious, how could he dare to defend himself? He just raised his sword dejectedly, agreed and left.

.

After her son ran away with a nosebleed, Xiang Yan also felt a trace of regret in her heart. Was it her son who had been beaten, or she felt sorry for him? No matter how bad his son was, he was still his flesh and blood. Xiang Yan had beaten his son all the time.

But because this was the first time I had beaten someone out of anger, I felt extremely depressed. I even put the blame on Wei Teng and others, and sat back in the chariot with a sullen face.

I don't know what method Xiang Rong used to finally reorganize the dissatisfied Wei people into the army. Everyone prepared strong crossbows, swords and other items, ready to rush in once the city wall was knocked open. Although before

Because Wei Teng had tricked him into using the catapult, Xiang Yan had a lingering feeling in his heart. However, no matter what, the catapult was a powerful weapon in siege and could not be discarded, so he was obviously sick to death.

However, people still prepared catapults and saw the scene of thousands of stones flying. Although the originally tattered city wall became more unbearable after this collision, Xiang Yan felt uncomfortable seeing such a scene and became even more angry.
