The autumn wind was brisk and the night was unusually cold. Chen Yu was very worried at this time. He stood in front of the map without saying a word and just stared quietly.

To the south of the camp, drums were rumbling and fires were shooting into the sky. This was the Qin army attacking Julu. It had been going on all day. I don’t know when the Qin army would be able to withdraw.

Chen Yu also tried to support Julu and contain the Qin army, but the Qin army was too powerful and he was no match for the Qin army. This was one of the reasons why Chen Yu was reluctant to reinforce Julu.

Although the information Zhao Xie had was that Chen Yu had nearly 50,000 troops, in fact, Chen Yu had transferred 40,000 reinforcements from Changshan half a month ago. At this time, Chen Yu's total troops were already nearly 100,000. From the figures It seems that Chen Yu is fully capable of containing the Qin army.

But Chen Yu stared at the map day and night, but still could not make up his mind to attack Julu. Perhaps it was timidity that made Chen Yu delay again and again.

It was the same tonight. All the generals came to ask for orders to send troops to rescue Julu, but Chen Yu never agreed. Many people were discouraged from Chen Yu and left sadly. Some people still stayed in Chen Yu's tent. , waiting for Chen Yu to change his mind and rush to help Julu as soon as possible,

"If Julu is lost, the king will become a prisoner of war, and the Zhao Kingdom will be doomed," a general shouted anxiously,

Chen Yu was interrupted from his thoughts by the general. He looked up at the generals and sighed helplessly: "Why don't I want to send troops to fight? If any of you are sure of victory, let me hear it. If a military order is issued, I will Immediately send troops to you to help Julu,"

Chen Yu's tone was stern, his eyes glowed with anger, and he scanned everyone's faces one by one, and then he said: "With our troops and horses here, Julu Shang'an, if we are completely defeated, all parties will be defeated." If the reinforcements are delayed, the Qin army can attack the city with all its strength. The north gate of Julu is tight, and the Qin army is attacking the city from all sides. How can it survive for a long time?"

Chen Yu sighed. No matter how much he said, he could not hide his timidity. Just when Chen Yu was depressed and hesitant, a soldier shouted outside the camp: "General, your Majesty has sent an envoy. ,"

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the big tent was opened, and Zhang Yan and Chen Ze walked in quickly. They came to Chen Yu and cupped their hands. Zhang Yan said anxiously: "The general is reluctant to go to war. Why are you hesitating?"

Being scolded by Zhang Yan, Chen Yu looked slightly displeased. He raised his voice and asked, "The Qin army is so powerful, why should I rush the troops?"

"Prime Minister Zhang Er gave his farewell instructions. The Duke and the Prime Minister are going to fight each other. They live and die together. If the giant deer dies, the Prime Minister will die for the country and live and die with King Zhao. However, the situation is critical. I hope that the Duke will remember the old friendship and send troops as soon as possible. Otherwise, why don't you surrender to the Qin army? You can still be promoted to an official position and become a nobleman, once and for all. I hope you will think about it."

"Touch" Chen Yu slammed the table. He was extremely angry. Who did Zhang Er think he was?

Just when Chen Yu was extremely angry, Zhang Yan forced him to say: "The giant deer is in danger, I hope you will make a decision soon."

This time, Chen Yu could no longer contain the anger in his heart. He stared at the two men and said bitterly: "If I stationed troops here, the Qin soldiers would not dare to attack the city with all their strength. Otherwise, once our army is defeated, the Qin army will be surrounded by enemies." The siege of the city, can the danger of Julu be solved? Second Duke, can you go back to the city for me and tell me the whole story? I am not afraid of the Qin army, but actually to protect Julu,"

"Save the giant deer," Chen Ze finally said. He couldn't help but sneer and questioned: "To save the giant deer, it's just like stationing a hundred thousand troops and watching the battle here,"

Chen Ze's contempt completely angered Chen Yu. At this time, Chen Yu had a sullen face and said angrily: "Second Duke is a righteous man, do you dare to lead the army to aid Julu?"

"As long as the general is willing to lend troops to fight with me, we are willing to lead the army to fight," Zhang Yangong said resolutely. At this time, Chen Yu couldn't help but sneered three times and said bitterly: "Come here, send five thousand troops to us." They, the generals, would like to see how they defeat the enemy,"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yu strode out of the tent. Zhang Nan looked at Chen Yu's leaving figure and could only sigh softly,

,,,,,,

Fires were blazing below Julu City, and there were shouts of killing on the city tower. The Qin army rushed to the top of the city, but half an hour later, they were mercilessly killed by the Zhao army back to the ladder. Some Qin soldiers could not stand steadily. The city tower fell, and a long scream pierced the night sky, which gradually wavered the Qin army's determination to attack the city.

But the Qin army did not flinch at all. They continued to mobilize troops and horses from the rear to participate in the battle. The Qin army, which had just retreated from the front line, rushed back again under the coercion of the general and pounced on the head of Julu City.

To the west of Julu, a group of 5,000 soldiers and horses came slowly. Most of this army was old, weak, sick, and disabled. Moreover, everyone was holding a long sword, and there were not even a decent crossbowman or shield soldier. Even the cavalry only has a few dozen people.

The leader is Zhang Yan, and the deputy general is Chen Ze. They should have urged Chen Yu to go into battle and command the main force to rescue Julu, but Chen Yu was reluctant to send troops to reinforce Julu, and reprimanded the two men, so the two had to lead the army. Five thousand broken troops came to fight Zhang Han,

It can be said that Zhang Yan and Chen Ze could sneak back to Julu at night, but Chen Yu refused to send troops. Julu was in danger. Even if they returned to Julu empty-handed, what would be the use. Zhang Yan is an upright person. , once followed the military officials and was invincible, and then followed Zhao Xie, always loyal. Now that he cannot invite reinforcements for Zhao Xie, Zhang Nan knows that he can only die to defend his dignity.

The same goes for Chen Ze. He also came with Zhang Night and his army with the determination to die. At this time, the rumbling drums were beating in front. The Qin army had already discovered this broken reinforcements. They couldn't help showing contempt. smile,

Nearly 20,000 Qin troops turned around and marched towards Zhang Yan's 5,000 remnant army. Soon, in the dark night, the Qin army began to form a formation, with crossbowmen in front, followed by shield soldiers, cavalry and spearmen. Rigorous, one of the leading generals is Shejian. At this time, he has already raised his spear and looked coldly at Zhang Nan not far away.

After about a cup of tea, Zhang Yan let out a long sigh. He turned to look at the head of Julu City not far away. The fire was soaring into the sky. The battle was still going on. I wonder if Julu could survive the Qin army's fierce attack this time. Thinking of this , Zhang Night couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty, Zhang Night has done everything he can. Please take care of yourself."

After shouting, Zhang Yan rode out on his horse and came to the front of the two armies. Shejian, who had been waiting for a long time, also rode out on his horse. Under the care of the torches of the two armies, the two looked at each other and Shejian said loudly: " The enemy general left his name,"

"I am Zhao General Zhang Yan," Zhang Yan shouted, and rode his horse straight towards Shejian. Shejian did not hesitate, raised his spear horizontally, and rushed out on his horse. The two met in the wilderness. The weapons collided and sparks flew, but soon, with the impact of the horses, the two separated again,

There was a burst of cheers in the formation of the two armies, each cheering for their general.

Shejian's horse was a Guanzhong horse, majestic and extremely fast. After Shejian ran a certain distance, he quickly reined in his horse. When he turned around, he saw that Zhang Yan's horse was still galloping. He immediately raised his spear and Rushing after Zhang Yan,

Zhang Yan also gradually reined in his horse at this time. He looked back and saw Shejian chasing fiercely. He couldn't help but speed up his horse in an attempt to get rid of Shejian. However, Shejian's horse was very fast, and Zhang Night's mount could not move at all. Unable to get rid of Shejian, he had to turn around hastily and block Shejian with his spear, but Shejian's attack came from below. A sharp spearhead pierced Zhang Yan's thigh, causing Zhang Yan to suffer pain. , immediately raised the spear shaft in his hand and pushed away She Jian's spear. The blood also sprayed outward the moment the spear head left the chest. Zhang Yan suffered from pain, reined in his horse and left.

But Shejian refused to give up on Zhang Xiang. He rode his horse and continued to chase Zhang Xiang. He was about a hundred steps away. Shejian finally caught up with Zhang Xiang who was fleeing. He raised his spear and stabbed Zhang Xiang away. The spearhead passed from Zhang Xiang. Nightmare's chest was revealed. At this moment, all the Chu troops were stunned.

After all, She Jian was a fierce general under Zhang Han. He raised his spear at this time, and Zhang Nan's body was lifted in the air. In an instant, the 20,000 Qin troops behind him shouted loudly: "General She is mighty,"

"General She is mighty...,"

She Jian raised his spear, threw Zhang Yan's body aside, then pointed forward and shouted: "Kill him,"

The Qin army rushed forward like a tsunami. The Zhao army, which had not yet reacted from the shock, was instantly swallowed up by the Qin army. There were sounds of clashing swords and guns, and begging for mercy.

But the Qin army did not stop wielding their sharp blades. They slashed at every Zhao army soldier. The war was extremely bloody.

In the battle formation, Chen Ze was already covered in blood. He looked at the Zhao soldiers who were getting fewer and fewer in the Vietnam War. He looked up to the sky and laughed a little helplessly. The laughter was so vicissitudes of life, so weak. He probably laughed for a long time. When Qin When more and more soldiers surrounded him, Chen Ze glanced at every Qin soldier with cold eyes. Finally, he raised his long sword horizontally, slashed it across his neck, and committed suicide in the chaos.

The Qin army's siege continued until the first watch and then slowly dispersed. It was another day of fierce attack. The Qin army paid a heavy price, but in the end they still failed to enter Julu. However, at this time, Julu City was already in dilapidated condition. There are ruins everywhere. If the Qin army attacks like this for several days, the giant deer will break through.

In the early morning, the sky gradually turned white, and a ray of warm sunshine reflected on everyone's body. The head of the giant deer city was in a mess. There were twisted corpses everywhere, with red spots. Near the corpses, people were exhausted. The soldiers of the Zhao army were half leaning against the wall, sleeping innocently.

At this time, Zhao Xie came to the top of the city under the protection of the generals. Looking at the corpses on the ground, Zhao Xie couldn't help but shed tears.

Among these corpses, there were those of the Qin Army, some of the Zhao Army, and many more were young men who had just turned thirteen or fourteen years old. In order to defend their homeland, they fought to the death, but they themselves were hiding in the palace, waiting for the Qin Army to finally break through. The bell of the giant deer made Zhao Xie feel mixed emotions in his heart.

After walking among the piles of corpses for a while, Zhao Xie came to the top of the city. He looked deeply into the distance. He saw white bones, scorched earth and smoke everywhere, and everything was devastated. In a large camp with green smoke, the Qin army was ready. Fa, I don’t know when the next battle will start.
