In the morning of the next day, Li Cang had already prepared his horses and woke Han Huaichu up.

Wu Guang's allied army had attacked Xingyang and left the list as a civilian along the way. This was the reason why in this Xingyang battle zone, there were no refugees who ran away in panic, but instead, there were countless heroes who led their troops to vote. There were even people from the old townspeople who ate their pots full of milk and rushed to the Wu Guang Army to reward the allied troops.

When Han Huaichu came to the front of Wu Guang's camp to report his reason for coming, a deputy general who was left to guard the camp came out to welcome him. Li Gui said, "The two of you have come at the right time. The Fake King is currently leading his master to attack the east gate. You can go and assist in the battle."

At this time, it was the middle of the day. Gao Guang, Han Huaichu and Li Cang were unrelenting in their armor as they rode their horses to the east gate of Yingyang City.

All that could be seen was the smoke of the beacons rising from all over the battlefield; the sound of killing shook the heavens. On top of the city wall, rows and rows of sharp arrows rained down from the sky.

The rebel army formed a horizontal formation and surrounded the east gate. There were all sorts of costumes. Some of them were in rags, and some of them were in bright colors. If an army was to be formed at the last minute, they would have to use green cloth to identify the enemy.

One of them was an eight foot tall general with a beard like that of a tiger and a helmet that pierced through his forehead. He held a long spear in his hand and was currently leading a group of loyal soldiers to attack the city.

The iron spear in his hand danced like a ball of cotton, as if water couldn't splash its way in, unable to be exposed to the wind. All the arrows shot from the tower were blocked by him and fell to the ground.

Behind him, the rebel troops were lined up in columns, each holding an arc shield. He slowly pushed his way forward while holding onto the ladders, the oxen, and the siege escalades.

These siege equipment were all huge in size and had wheels installed on their lower parts. If someone was shot down, a successor would be able to take over. It could be said that they were all from the front to the back.

The most eye-catching of them all was the cart. It was three meters long and had countless rollers attached to its lower part. Its sides and top were nailed together with thick wooden planks. It acted as a protective cover and was covered with hard leather. A row of soldiers hid under the wooden board and were not afraid of the arrows or the flowing stones. It was as thick as a man's arm. If he let it strike the wall, no matter how thick and sturdy it was, it would be difficult to resist.

From afar, Han Huai Chu saw a large staff embroidered with the word "Wu". A man wearing a fish-scale armor, with a heart-protector mirror as bright as autumn water, a gauntlet made of silk, a Flying Tiger skirt covering his knees, and a pair of bright eyes, a nose that was as sharp as a star, and teeth like Belle's.

The group of generals were like stars surrounding the moon as they surrounded the surroundings.

Han Huaichu had expected that the man would be the fake king Wu Guang, so he and Li Cang quickly went forward and bowed and reported: "Huaiyin Han Xin, according to King Zhang Chu's orders, I am here to serve under the fake king."

When Wu Guang heard the name Han Xin, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Han Huaichu with his bright eyes, and asked: "Are you the Han Xin who defeated the in Longwupo?" Han Huaichu nodded. "Yes, that's me."

Wu Guang was overjoyed: "You came at the right time. With the help of Gaodi from you, my army is like a tiger that has grown wings. May I know your position, King of Chen? " Han Huaichu reported: "King Zhang Chu has sent generals to assist Wu Wang in destroying the city."

Wu Guang said in surprise: "With young master's talent, even if you were conferred the title of Commander, wouldn't it be excessive? Isn't it too much of a waste of your talent to just accept a general?" Han Huaichu replied: "King of Chen's meaning is for me to serve the general for the time being. If there is any military exploits, I will receive a different reward when I return to the Chencheng." Wu Guang replied with an "Oh" and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you for now."

Han Huaichu then introduced Li Cang to Wu Guang. Wu Guang repeatedly praised, but when he asked Li Cang what kind of position he had been bestowed with, Han Huaichu was unable to bestow it. Wu Guang immediately bestowed Li Cang with the title of Lieutenant, and said that the war was urgent, and that he would not have the time to welcome the two of them in person, please forgive me.

Han Huaichu thought, "I heard that Wu Guang is a good man. Seeing him today, he really lives up to his name."

At this time, the battle was in full swing, and Wu Guang said: "The two of you, watch the battle with me, watch our troops take down the Xingyang."

The general who was leading the siege was called Deng Rui. He and his sworn brother Wu Yu had just pledged their allegiance to the army not long ago, and had offered to surround Li You and kill five thousand people of Qin Army. Now that his spirit was at its peak, he volunteered to lead five thousand men to attack Xingyang.

Seeing that the siege weapon was getting closer and closer to the city wall, within fifty steps, a white-robed general on top of the city gate tower waved the command flag and shouted, "Shoot!"

The person who had given the order was the county governor of Xingyang, Li You.

Following Li You's command, a row of arrows wrapped in flames shot out like a locust swarm.

The arrows were tied with oil bags, containing a kind of heavy oil from Gan Shan. The thick oil was poured onto the escalator, the chariot, and the siege tower.

Actually, that thick oil is oil, but the ancients did not recognize it. Ancient book Yun: Dingyang, Gongnu, there is water, fat can be dipped. The county of Gongnu was near the Xianyang, and the waters of the river were a tributary of the Yanhe River, both located in the Qin Realm. The Qin State army could extract oil to make rockets, and they could also be used to lubricate the axles of chariots.

Li You had been patiently waiting until the rebel army's siege weapon had entered the rocket range. Then, he suddenly released such a sharp weapon.

At the same time, the huge siege weapons of the rebel army began to crackle and burn. The soldiers who were hiding inside the carriage were handcuffed by the fire and wailing in agony. Those who were close to the exit were lucky enough to escape in time. Those who were hidden deep were either burned to the point where their bodies were not even covered in ashes, or their throats were filled with smoke.

The soldiers that were hiding on the ladders jumped off one after another, not daring to stay. Those whose hands and feet weren't happy fell down and died.

Wu Guang looked like he was about to spit fire. He had meticulously prepared these siege equipment and ordered the artisans to draw them according to the military manual. After half a month, he had finally succeeded in forging them, and had hoped that he would be able to rely on this enormous object to obtain the Xingyang during today's battle. All the special materials had been destroyed and turned into a pile of waste.

On top of the city gate tower, Li You looked at the miserable state of the allied army, and said while feeling unsatisfied: "Bring me my bow." Two soldiers then raised a five-foot-long bow.

Li You nocked an arrow on his bow, and with a "whoosh", he shot out an arrow that had carved feathers, flying straight towards Deng Rui.

When Deng Rui saw his siege equipment destroyed, he was discouraged. However, the iron spear in his hand slowed down, and he suddenly heard the sound of an arrow shooting towards his head like a meteor. Shocked, he lowered his head and dodged it.

Although he had reacted in time to retrieve his life, the red tassel on his helmet was shot down by an arrow and fell into the dust.

The Qin Army on the city gate tower resounded with cheers, praising the General Li's divine technique. However, Li You said with regret: "What a pity, I was unable to kill this fellow to avenge the loss of my master that day."

Seeing that the morale of the troops was in disorder, Wu Guang gave the order to call for reinforcements.

Returning to the main tent, Deng Rui said in shame: "I have great hopes for you. In today's battle, I was unable to obtain my Xingyang, and instead lost a lot of troops and siege equipment."

Wu Guang comforted her: "General Deng does not need to blame himself, I never thought that Li You would actually have such a sharp weapon."

Then there was the Great General Tian Zang who spoke, "The Yingyang City is high and the walls are thick, making it difficult to attack. There is a huge accumulation of food in the city, so what can our army do about it?"

Wu Guang's gaze turned to Han Huaichu, and asked: "General Han is a Gaodi of the Zang Heng Family, what brilliant plan is there to break through the city?"

Han Huaichu thought for a while, then said: "Soldiers, attack the city; attack the heart. "If we can destroy this city without attacking it, that would be the best strategy."

When he said that, Tian Zang scolded him, "What do you, a little general, know? That Li You was the son of the Qin State's prime minister, Li Si. If you want this city to collapse without even attacking it, you must be dreaming. "

Wu Guang waved his hand and said, "General Tian, don't be agitated. Please let General Han finish."

Han Huaichu continued: "That's right, that Li You is the son of the Prime Minister of the Qin State. Maybe we are taking into account that Li You is the son of Li Si and doing something big. "

Hearing that, Wu Guang's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "Please speak your mind, General Han." Han Huaichu looked around, and said: "The law cannot be heard six times, in private, tell the prince in detail."

Therefore, Wu Guang dismissed the generals and went into the tent alone, asking: "General Han, what brilliant plan did you have to break through the Xingyang?"

Han Huaichu said as he continued to speak: "I've heard that the Qin State has made Zhao Gao and the Prime Minister Li Si fight for power and gain by not getting along with each other, so why not send a spy from the Wu Wang to attend to the affairs of the Xianyang and spread rumors that Li You wishes to betray the imperial government and establish himself as king, already conspiring with our army to divide the rivers and mountains between us? If Zhao Gao knew about this, he would definitely use this as a weakness to blame Li Si. When the news spreads to Li You's ears, he will definitely not fight to the death for Qin State, it will not be so easy to take down Xingyang. "

Wu Guang hesitated: "Words have no basis, I'm afraid Qin Ting won't believe that Li You will rebel." Han Huaichu thought about it, came up with a plan, and said: "How about this, how about -"

Inside the Yingyang City, County Governor Li You was in his study, composing a poem.

Li Yuban is a man of martial arts." His family had a history of learning, and he had a famous scholar taught him all kinds of skills from childhood. At the age of thirteen, he was famous for his talent in studying in Xianyang, and his essay was magnificent and unrestrained. He also wrote a good little note, which was that once the ink treasure flowed out, it would compete for the Wealthy Class seat. It would be stored in the manor and would be considered a family heirloom.

When he was older, Li You felt that it was not enough to write like that, and since he also wanted to learn martial arts, Li Si made him join the ranks of the veterans, Wang Jian, and studied for three years. With the guidance of a famous general like Wang Jian, coupled with his talent and intelligence, Li You learned a whole set of good martial arts, and was proficient in military affairs. With the protection of Li Si's students, he was sent by Qin Ting to be the chief officer of Sanchuan County. It could be said that he was young and had great achievements, and he was very proud of it.

In the previous two fierce battles with Wu Guang, Li You had won both times. Then, in a moment of arrogance and underestimation, he was surrounded by the rebel army and lost five thousand men and horses. Fortunately, he had survived the battle and escaped back to the Yingyang City, so he stayed in seclusion to guard against Wu Guang.

Yesterday, Wu Lue was used again, using a rocket to break Wu Guang's siege weapon, causing the enemy to retreat fearfully. For a moment, he was in high spirits and began to write.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report that the Yun Anti-scoundrel army had sent a messenger and brought the Qin Army prisoners to return, along with ten jars of good wine and ten fat cows. They were currently at the bottom of the city wall, and it was unknown if they would let him in.

Li You was confused when he heard it, "Then Anti-scoundrel and I will swear an irreconcilable oath. How can we return the captives and even give me good wine and fat cattle?"
