Chapter 922: Reluctant
As soon as Xu Qing's words came out of his mouth, Pi 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, Shezhao would have room to use this excuse to negotiate.
But now I ask you why you hit me, but the other person said directly because I have no quality!
This... How can we talk about this? !
The opposite side is not wanting face, how can you deal with it?
But Pi Luosheng was so angry that he couldn't think of any way.
Of course, Xu Qing was so blunt in order to stop Shezhao's mouth and let them dispel the idea of peace talks as soon as possible.
Then, the infantry and catapults of the brigade were finally pulled up.
Then Zhentianlei began to show its power, and three of the four city gates were besieged. The Chu army released Zhentianlei here, and the Zhenxi Army hit the city gates with siege cones under the cover of thunder and fire. .
The city gate also became crumbling under the power of the siege cone.
The Shezhao people on the city wall have never seen the power of firearms, and only a few generals have heard of firearms.
The soldiers on the city wall were almost frightened by the roar of thunder and the power of the blast, and shrank back on the city wall, not even daring to show their heads.
In their view, where is this a weapon?
This is clearly God's punishment!
Against Chu State, God will send down thunder and strike them to death.
There is a reason why Xu Qing besieged the three city walls and left the western city wall without sending troops to attack.
This is the glimmer of life that Xu Qing left for them.
There is a saying that the mourning army must win, if Xu Qing cut off all their retreats and did not give them any hope of survival, then the fighting power that this army can unleash is absolutely terrifying.
Even if they fail to defeat Chu State, it will cause huge casualties to Chu State and Zhenxi Army.
Such an approach is naturally not worthwhile.
So Xu Qing only surrounded the third, leaving a glimmer of life for them.
As long as they have a way out, they will not be able to unleash their own potential, and Chu State will attack more smoothly.
And the fact is just as Xu Qing expected, because the power of the thunder and fire weapon greatly frightened the minds of the Shezhao army.
After several hours of continuous impact, the gate of Shezhao Border City was finally knocked open.
Then General Long commanded the army to charge and seize the city.
Xu Qing didn't take part in these, he never fought in street fights, and he never even commanded hand-to-hand combat.
Professional things should be handed over to professional people, and he won't do that a disservice.
Long Binger was about to charge but was stopped by Xu Qing.
Long Binger looked at Xu Qing and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xu Qing said; "Come with me to a good place, let's watch a play."
Long Binger asked: "Where?"
Xu Qing said: "Follow me and you will know."
After all, Xu Qing led the shadow guard and galloped towards one direction.
Long Bing'er didn't hesitate anymore, and followed closely behind on her horse.
After detouring for a long time, the two finally bypassed the border town and came to an official road outside the west city gate.
If Shezhao's army retreated, they would definitely pass through this official road. Xu Qing is here, waiting for the rabbit.
The army hid in the dense forest beside the official road and set up camp.
Long Bing'er stood in front of the tent, looked at Xu Qing and said, "You brought so many people to surround Shezhao's army?"
Xu Qing counted with his fingers and said, "It's quite a lot, a total of five hundred people."
Long Binger's beautiful eyes widened: "You also know that you brought five hundred people with you. The Shezhao Kingdom has stationed 200,000 troops in the border town. Even if your firearms are powerful, you will cause a lot of casualties to them. , But even if they are defeated and retreat, they can withdraw tens of thousands of people, and they will also calculate the strength of your attacking troops, so it depends on whether you retreat or not. You take my five hundred people to beat tens of thousands?"
Xu Qing said in a mysterious way: "The mountain people have their own clever plans."
Long Bing'er snorted; "I'd like to see what bad intentions you have after Shezhao is withdrawn."
Xu Qing said disapprovingly: "How can this be called a bad idea, I have a trick up my sleeve, okay?"
But no matter how clever the plan is, the Shezhao army has not withdrawn from the border town at this time.
Xu Qing could also guess what the Shezhao army was thinking.
If there is a distance, She Zhao is definitely not the opponent of Chu State who holds firearms.
But if the street fights are hand-to-hand, the firearms on the opposite side will be useless.
Street fighting is when they are most likely to inflict serious damage on the enemy.
Shezhao's army will definitely seize this opportunity and deal with it desperately.
It's just a pity that what they didn't expect was that General Long was very good at street fighting.
This time, General Long commanded not only the Zhenxi Army, but also the elite army of Chu State.
For a while, Shezhao's army was beaten and retreated steadily, but they were still struggling.
As the so-called defeat is like a mountain, if this retreat, it will be difficult to regain a city.
Every time Pi Luosheng fought a victory, he could not accept this defeat.
Soon night fell.
Xu Qing and his group still hadn't waited for the Shezhao Kingdom's army to escape.
Xu Qing had no choice but to order the spies to monitor the movement of Shezhao Kingdom for twelve hours.
On the other side, the rest of the people camped in the dense forest and simply ate some dry food.
Just as it was getting darker, a small camp was finally ready.
Wei Xiong came over and said to Xu Qing cupped fist; "I want to report to Commander, we don't have enough tents, this time we only brought the Commander's tent..."
As he said that, Wei Xiong also looked at the perplexed look on Long Binger's face beside Xu Qing.
Xu Qing immediately said: "A man and a woman don't know each other, how can this be? I'll squeeze with you! Give up my tent to Bing'er."
Wei Xiong said, "Commander, it's too crowded. We only have 500 people this time, and our tent is already crowded again and again. Only your small tent is alone."
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er "reluctantly" and said: "The military career is full of such uncertainties. If it really doesn't work, you can only squeeze with me."
Hearing this, Wei Xiong immediately cupped his hands and said: "Since the commander has made arrangements, I will resign!"
After all, Wei Xiong ran away without waiting for Long Binger to speak.
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er and said, "I've really wronged you. You see, Hua Mulan lived in Datongpu and they insisted on it. You have been in the army for so many years. You won't even squeeze this place with me alone." You can't bear this kind of grievance?"
Long Binger's eyes dodged and said, "Who... who can't stand it anymore, how can a general care about such a small difficulty? Hmph..."
After saying that, Long Binger bravely got into the tent.
Soon, Xu Qing also got in.
Xu Qing: "Binger, do you sleep without taking off your armor?"
Long Bing'er: "Shezhao probably expected an ambush here, and retreated in the dark. What if there is no time to wear it when the fight breaks out? Why do you care if I wear armor or not?"
Xu Qing: "I'm not worried that you're not sleeping well..."
