On the third day of guarding the city, the entire city wall had already been dyed dark red with blood. Occasionally, from the edge of some gravel, you can see the dark green color of the urban management.
Once again, the crazy attack of the Qin army was repelled. Corpses could be seen lying in various places on the entire city wall, and disembowelled bodies could be seen everywhere. The severed limbs and remains became the main scenery on and below the city.
"Something's wrong."
After taking a few quick breaths, he finally heard the sound of Ming Jin's trumpet calling for troops to retreat from twenty miles outside the city. Liu Bang knew that they had once again withstood the Qin army's siege and had at least an hour or so to rest.
"What's wrong?"
Beside him, Yingbu also had a tired face, listless eyes, and the armor on his body was already dilapidated and damaged in many places. However, he was covered in the smell of blood, and one could imagine how many people he had killed in the past few days.
According to incomplete statistics, the number of Qin soldiers who died in Yingbu's hands was at least 800, if not a thousand!
This guy is simply a fighting maniac, a complete madman!
Of course, Liu Bang is not much better. He is lying on the side in a sickly state. There is even a very obvious blood mark on his face. That was just now when a certain Qin army general who climbed to the top of the city was dying before he died. What remains.
"How many times has this been the siege?"
Liu Bang glanced at the Qin army in the distance, which showed no signs of panic and was retreating in an orderly manner, with a flash of worry in his eyes.
"The twenty-eighth time, today is the third day, two more than yesterday. I don't know if the Qin army will continue to attack at night tonight."
Speaking of this, Yingbu punched a dead Qin soldier's body nearby with his fist, smashing its head into pieces, "What the hell are these dogs! They won't give us a chance at all!" If this continues, not to mention the soldiers below, even I won¡¯t be able to bear it anymore!¡±
Yes, for the Qin army, it has a huge numerical advantage, and it can take turns to fight and consume in wheel battles. But they couldn't do it. There were only a little over 20,000 people in total. Except for the 2,000 reserve troops left each time, the rest stayed on the city wall.
Once or twice, relying on the elite soldiers of Liu Bang and Yingbu, they completely resisted the Qin army's attack. However, the shortcomings became apparent as the number of times increased.
Because of the shortage of manpower, almost every team member participated in the battle. On the second day, even the reserve team was recruited.
"Now we still have about 14,000 men available, but the soldiers' physical strength continues like this and they can no longer withstand it!"
There is no rest, and the interval between each Qin army's attack on the city will not exceed two hours at most. During this period, it is completely impossible for people to fully recuperate.
It can be said that it is a miracle that Liu Bang and Yingbu were able to hold on for three days!
If it were another general, he might have been killed on the first day.
"Yingbu, I have a bad feeling. I always feel that Qin Jun's behavior is a bit incomprehensible. No! It's very weird! I wonder if Qin Jun has other plans or even what he is planning!"
Unlike Yingbu, a fighting maniac, although Liu Bang has been fighting all the time these days, he immediately analyzes the current situation in private with Zhang Liang whenever he has time.
"How to say?"
Yingbu was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little confused, "Don't the Qin army not want to attack the city? But in the past three days, even if they didn't have the largest force to attack the city as we initially expected, at least they didn't abandon it here. There were at least 20,000 to 30,000 casualties.¡±
"That's why it's strange! Don't you think it's suspicious?"
Liu Bang turned his head and looked at the place twenty miles outside the city, where there were endless camps. It was the base camp of the Qin Army's more than 200,000 troops.
"Suspicious?"
"With the current size of the Qin Army, they can completely suppress the situation with a large number of troops, and then defeat us in one go. Don't shake your head, you and I both know that if the Qin Army really ignores all casualties and more than 200,000 people come up, we will not be able to defend for even a day. live!"
Yingbu opened his mouth, and then was unable to refute, because he knew that Liu Bang was right.
Even though the more than 20,000 people led by the two of them were elites, they were far from comparable to the Qin army. But when the quantity reaches a certain level, it will also change qualitatively!
Too many ants will kill the elephant! What's more, the Qin army now has more than ten times the strength advantage.
Any general, even an idiot who doesn't understand the art of war, can easily command the army to break the city.
As a famous general of the generation, Zhang Han would not understand this truth?
"It makes sense to hear what you said. But why??? "
"You ask me, who am I asking?" Liu Bang rolled his eyes. He was not a strategic strategist, nor was he a famous general like Zhang Han who was good at using troops and whose march was unpredictable.
Being able to tell that Qin Jun¡¯s behavior was abnormal was his limit. If he really wanted him to analyze it, it would be faster to kill him.
"Say! You kid is trying to take advantage of me! I don't know what you are saying!"
Yingbu snorted angrily, but his expression was not very good. He was not an idiot. He was a fan of the authorities before, and his mind was completely distracted by the war situation. Now Liu Bang suddenly pointed out the key point. Thinking about it carefully, there is indeed a problem!
That night, the Qin army launched another attack. However, in the eyes of Liu Bang and Yingbu, who were deeply suspicious, the Qin army's attack always felt like thunder but little rain.
¡°Something¡¯s wrong! Something¡¯s very wrong!¡±
After repelling the Qin army again, Yingbu stood on the city wall and looked at the huge Qin army camp twenty miles away under countless firelights.
At this moment, Zhang Liang hurriedly appeared at the top of the city, then ran to Liu Bang and whispered something in Liu Bang's ear.
"Yingbu, is there any news about the return of the people we sent to seek help from Old General Xiang Liang?"
Liu Bang immediately found Yingbu, but the answer he got was no news at all!
"It's terrible now! No, it must have happened! Damn it! Damn it Zhang Han! Was this the original idea!"
Liu Bang cursed loudly, leaving Yingbu stunned.
"What's wrong?"
"Yingbu, I hope our military advisor's guess is wrong, otherwise, we can't tell this time, our situation is really bad!"
"You should tell me! Damn it! Why are you talking so much nonsense! What on earth did your little loli strategist say to you?"
Liu Bang did not answer immediately, but looked at the Qin Army camp twenty miles away, frowning, as if he was hesitating about something.
"You! What happened!"
Yingbu was so anxious that he almost took action.
"Yingbu, Old General Xiang Liang may have encountered something unexpected! Zhang Han and Qin Jia, it turned out that their original target was General Xiang! We here were completely kept in the dark!"
