Sick beauty he doesn't want to rot [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 58

Two days later.

At the city gate, soldiers of Qin State set up siege equipment and made a deafening sound. Countless soldiers picked up their shields to cover themselves and walked forward slowly, but some people still fell to the ground from time to time. The sticky blood exudes the smell of rust, mixed with the smell of burning kerosene, forming the unique smell of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield.

In the rear, the archers drew their heavy bows, oiled the arrows and ignited them, and bent towards Jianyang City. Under the order of the commander, countless flaming arrows shot towards the city wall like rain.

Some soldiers carried siege ladders and put them on the city wall, trying to climb the city wall.

The sound of fire and rolling stones constituted the main theme of the battlefield, and the screams of many wounded soldiers were the accompaniment to this battle.

……

Chu Qing stood on the city wall, leaning his back against the bunker, turned slightly sideways, and this was the scene as far as the eye could see.

A bow and arrow passed by him with a strong wind, but it just fell to the ground. Chu Qing picked up the arrow from the ground. He estimated the strength of the bow with his hands, and the distance between the archers set by Qin Jun. Too far, the arrow can fall on the city wall, but it can't cause too much damage, so Lu Xun's goal is to attack with fire?

Chu Qing said to Leader Wu beside him: "Be careful of fire prevention, especially those places where the city walls have been repaired."

Commander Wu nodded and said a few words to the generals around him.

There are a total of eight city gates that can be attacked by the Qin army, two of which were directly blocked by Chu Qing. Repairing the city defense cannot be completed in a day or two, it is better to block it directly, so these two At the city gate, Chu Qing arranged the most troops.

There was an exclamation in the distance.

"It's on fire, it's on fire."

"Hurry up and put out the fire, the Jianwu Gate in the southeast is on fire..."

……

The messenger rushed to Commander Wu's direction from a distance, and he said in a panic, "It's not good, Commander Wu, the Jianwu Gate has been in disrepair for a long time, and it's on fire."

"Bastard, the stones used to block Jianwumen, how could they burn?" Commander Wu was furious. They had discussed this issue earlier in the morning, and ordered the prohibition of using combustible materials to repair the city gate. He couldn't figure it out.

"Qin Jun...Qin Jun threw combustibles with catapults."

Commander Wu turned around and said to Chu Qing: "Fourth Prince, this place is relatively safe. You are here, and you will return when you go down."

Chu Qing looked serious. He thought that Lu Xun probably knew as much about the defense of Jianyang City as he did. The raid on the first night was a test. He evokes the original intention of the past.

Under such circumstances, Qin State wanted to attack Jianyang City within a few days with an army of [-]. Lu Xun could only rely on the previous information on the defense of Jianyang City, so the breakthrough point must be two city gates that were in disrepair.

Now his intentions have been revealed, which means that in this battle, all the attacks on the city gates are feints.

Chu Qing said to Commander Wu: "Lu Xun has already seen it. The main battlefield must be at Jianwumen. Let's hurry to Jianwumen."

The two quickly got on their horses. On the way, Commander Wu asked, "Fourth Prince, you said that this battle was led by the Prime Minister of Qin State, Lu Xun? But Qin State claimed that the commander is Qin Wuzhou."

Chu Qing replied with a wry smile: "The opponent is Lu Xun, and we still have a chance of winning. If it is Qin Wuzhou, I am afraid that Jianyang City has already been occupied by the Qin army."

"Fourth prince, you don't have to belittle yourself." Commander Wu felt that Chu Qing had a little too high a view on Qin Wuzhou.

"No, you should be lucky, your opponent is not Qin Wuzhou." Chu Qing said firmly, "If it was him, the [-] Qin army would definitely not use the way to attack Jianyang City first, and he would directly take down all the weak city defenses. A city with a weak army."

"Then gradually surround Jianyang City by encroaching on it. At that time, there is no need to fight, Jianyang City is in his pocket." Chu Qing thought about Qin Wuzhou's behavior style and his strategy in the original book method, explained.

Commander Wu took a breath, and said to Chu Qing, "Unless the situation is overwhelming, it will be very difficult to advance to the capital. He can only take down a few cities with weak frontier defenses."

"Believe me, with his strength, this style of play is no problem."

Commander Wu remembered that Qin Wuzhou had been with Chu Qing for a long time. In the entire Chu country, the person who knew Qin Wuzhou best was Chu Qing.

When the two arrived at Jianwumen, Jianwumen had already been burned to the brim.

Chu Qing could vaguely see outside the door, countless Qin troops coming in this direction in the distance, he calmly said to Commander Wu: "All the Chu troops in Jianwumen have withdrawn from the outer city walls, and the inner city walls used to separate them are reinforced. "

Commander Wu felt sad in his heart, but he knew that the Qin army must concentrate its forces to attack here. If they did not withdraw, these soldiers would lose their lives in vain.

-

In the Qin Army's main tent, Lu Xun was staring at the Jianwu Gate on the map. He almost bet everything on this gate. It was found that this gate was the most damaged.

Moreover, Jianwumen is the closest to the Chu Palace. Once the outer city gate is captured and the inner city gate is weak, Jianyang City will be easily captured. Once Jianyang City falls into the hands of Qin State, it means that Qin State can directly attack the city. Annexed the state of Chu.

"Report-"

Lu Xun's eyes were bloodshot, and he said to the messenger, "Say."

"In Jianwumen, all the Chu troops have faded away, and there is only one person left." The messenger replied truthfully.

"who is it?"

"The fourth prince of Chu, Chu Qing."

Lu Xun waved his hand, and the messenger bowed and left. He was alone in the tent, anxious but unable to make a decision.

If the Chu army continued to resist, Lu Xun would definitely step up his offensive and use Jianwumen as a breakthrough point, but Chu Qing's move made him dare not act rashly.

Lu Xun had never figured out Chu Qing's temperament and strategy. Whether Jianwumen used an empty strategy to make a big gamble with him, or Chu Qing had expected that he would deploy the most troops in Jianwumen and set up a plan early. ambush?

For a while, Lu Xun hesitated. Now, the key point of this battle is Jianwumen, but both sides have reached a stalemate. The more the Qin army is delayed, the more it will consume, and he can't afford it.

"Come on, invite the sixth prince here." Lu Xun gritted his teeth with a gloomy face.

When Qin Wuzhou came, he already knew the reason why the two armies of Qin and Chu were at a stalemate, and he even wanted to applaud Chu Qing.

Lu Xun watched Qin Wuzhou step into the camp, and asked directly, "Do you think Chu Qing is gambling, or did he intentionally lure Qin's army in and set up an ambush?"

Qin Wuzhou shook his head, and said to Lu Xun, "You don't know him well. When he makes you suspicious, it means that he won't suffer from whichever of these two options you choose."

"You mean," Lu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, with several deep imprints showing between his brows, "Chu Qing has been on guard for a long time?"

"I heard that you had a very close relationship with him when you were in Qin, why don't you ask him, if you think about it, he won't do anything to you, how about it?" Lu Xun was full of anger, but he had nowhere to vent it.

"Want to play the emotional card?" Qin Wuzhou sneered and mocked, "Dangtang Lu Xiang, I never thought that there would be a day when I would be forced to play the emotional card."

Lu Xun's face became more and more ugly, and he was about to get angry.

But Qin Wuzhou continued: "Yes, but I don't guarantee the result."

Chu Qing stood alone behind the empty city gate. He was not wearing the clothes of the prince of Chu. On the moon white robe, there were only silver thread patterns embroidered with auspicious clouds. There were hardly any extra pendants, but it fit exceptionally well. It set off Chu Qing like an exiled immortal, and the cold wind blew past, as if she was about to transform into a feather.

Chu Qing waited boredly for Lu Xun to make a decision. He covered his face with his sleeve, coughed a few times, and his face was as pale as ever.

Qin Jun did not act rashly, and stood outside the city gate, besieging and not attacking. Chu Qing was bored waiting, so he took out his flute and played a piece casually.

At the end of the song, a figure slowly came in from the door, Chu Qing raised his head, it was Qin Wuzhou who came, but his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, Chu Qing couldn't hold back when he saw it, and laughed softly.

Qin Wuzhou stood in front of Chu Qing, looking at Chu Qing who was smiling happily, all the long-term worries disappeared, he asked helplessly: "Long time no see, what are you laughing at?"

"I guessed that Lu Xun would send someone, but I didn't expect him to send you." Chu Qing pointed to the stone bench and round table beside him, "How about sitting and chatting?"

"it is good."

Qin Wuzhou and Chu Qing sat on a stone bench under the shade of a tree, with freshly brewed tea on the table.

If the city was not full of devastation, and there were no Qin soldiers lined up outside the city, anyone who saw Chu Qing and Qin Wuzhou would think they were just gossiping.

Chu Qing picked up the teapot and handed a cup of tea to Qin Wuzhou.

Qin Wuzhou picked up the teacup without hesitation and drank it.

"Are you afraid that I will poison you?" Chu Qing asked with a smile.

Qin Wuzhou stared at Chu Qing firmly, as if he wanted to make up for what was missing in the past few days.

"you will not."

"Lu Xun asked you to come to inquire about the military situation?" Chu Qing didn't understand Lu Xun's train of thought, "Isn't he afraid that I will hold you hostage and threaten Qin to retreat?"

"It is rumored that I am your lover." When Qin Wuzhou said it, it was quite difficult to say.

"So he used a beauty trick." Chu Qing laughed out loud.

If it wasn't for coming to see Chu Qing, he would never agree to Lu Xun's bad idea.

Chu Qing stopped laughing for a while and asked, "He wants you to collect information, what about you?"

"I don't worry about you, let's take a look." Qin Wuzhou's voice was deep and sweet, his words were ordinary, but his emotions were extraordinarily sincere.

Chu Qing turned the teacup but didn't drink it, he said to Qin Wuzhou: "I'm fine, you can see."

"Lu Xun must be very puzzled, whether I lied to him, or am I really laying an ambush." ​​Chu Qing then replied, "In fact, there are both."

"Two days ago, I ordered the Anbu of the Imperial Guards to make some arrangements in Jianwumen," Chu Qing said to Qin Wuzhou, "It's just that it will take some time to evacuate people."

"The part of defrauding him was already completed when he was hesitating." Chu Qing smiled indifferently, "Soldiers are precious, and the opportunity he can seize is only an hour when the battle just started. I was guarding Jianganmen at that time. , also to confuse him.”

"If you send troops to Jianwumen now, you will definitely suffer heavy losses." Chu Qing's smile deepened, "Congratulations, the beauty trick has worked, and this information is true."

Qin Wuzhou looked solemn, and he asked, "Chu Qing, let me ask you again."

"This world needs a wise master, are you willing?"

Chu Qing knew what Qin Wuzhou meant by asking him, he smiled and joked, "If I answer yes, what will you do?"

"I'll just stay here," Qin Wuzhou said to Chu Qing without burden, half joking, half serious, "I'm not leaving."

"Really?"

"really."
