The Military Strategy had a number of proverbs: 'Ten are surrounding, five are attacking, and twice is dividing'. Now that the Pei County had sent out ten thousand people to defend the city, with less than two thousand people defending, every second of the battle added to the danger of the city.

Qin Soldier surged forward like the tide, and was immediately killed by the defending army. The two armies suffered countless casualties, and the sounds of grief shook the sky, Lv Chen, Fan Kuai and the others took the lead to bravely kill the enemy, killing all the enemies that stepped on the city walls in waves, blocking the Qin Soldier's powerful offensive.

Long Tianyu's blood boiled from the battle, he thought to himself, I can't take a step back, or else I'll be defeated like a mountain, turning into a city into a massacre. Seeing another wave of Qin Army soldiers rushing up the wall in large numbers, he thought to himself, this is too dangerous, and said to himself, "Staying on the defensive side is too passive, as the saying goes, attacking is the best defense."

Long Tianyu climbed onto the 'Chasing Moon' steed, Cao Can and Guan Ying followed along from the left and right, leading five hundred soldiers, and rushed out from the side door.

The Qin Soldier below the city was busy climbing, all of them were attacking with all their might, who would have thought that a group of people would fight their way out from the side.

Long Tianyu brandished his broken army treasure sword, taking the lead, and pounced towards the enemies. Cao Can and the others followed closely behind, the soldiers saw that their commander was extremely brave, they immediately mustered their fighting spirit and went all out to fight, all of them were going to block ten swords, the sounds of their battle shook the sky, and the moment the fight started, the enemy forces beneath the city were completely disrupted, and a big hole appeared.

When Xue Biao saw someone leading troops out of the city to meet the enemy, he immediately ordered his troops to dispatch the right vanguard, Zheng Chao, to encircle and annihilate Wei Xu's two thousand soldiers.

Seeing the enemy coming at him ferociously, Long Tianyu thought of avoiding them and ordered: "Set up the array!"

The other two hundred-man teams flanked the enemy from both sides, with Cao and Chong leading teams each to rush over from both sides. The troops were in a neat and orderly manner, and the two thousand men who had rushed up were suddenly cut off.

After fighting for a while, the power of the Qin Army was still strong, Long Tianyu shouted: "Golden Snake Formation!"

The formation of the rebel army suddenly changed. Each team rotated their heads and tails to connect with each other, just like a long snake coiling around, forming a taiji shape.

The troops led by Zheng Chao, who was on the right, saw the enemies coming and going in groups. Many of them were frightened and doubtful. In just a short while, more than two thousand of them were separated from each other, unable to be saved.

Just as the Qin Army generals were in shock, Long Tianyu spurred his horse to gallop, killing dozens of soldiers. He had already arrived in front of Zheng Chao's horse, and without a word, swung his sword to slice across.

Zheng Chao saw that the enemy was approaching and raised his spear to block. With a dang, weapons clashed and flames burst out, shaking both of his arms to the point of numbing them. If not for the fact that he was an expert in brute force, his spear would have been knocked out of his hands by the impact.

Seeing that he could not block it, he jumped down from the horse and took off his fatal strike. Just as he was rejoicing in the victory, Long Tianyu's horse raised its front hooves and stomped on Zheng Chao's chest. Instantly, all of its internal organs shattered, and it spurted blood and died.

Under his rage, he swung his sword and pierced towards Long Tianyu's back. The latter slightly reined his horse, his sword intersecting with his side as the two swords trembled, making a sound like a dragon's roar.

"Clang!"

Wei Xu's mouth was about to shake. His treasured sword was already crippled. In a great panic, he galloped his horse forward. The broken sword curved and shot out, the blade piercing straight towards his opponent's chest.

Long Tianyu's sword technique was superb, without even thinking about it, his sword struck the sword body, with a gentle yet fluid strike, he cut the other party's neck, and upon seeing the blood on his throat, he fell off his horse and died.

Long Tianyu had led his troops to kill nearly a thousand people of the enemy, and had also destroyed a few siege tools like a escalator and a hook cart. General Feng Meng, who was a forward siege leader, saw that the casualties were great, and could not handle the siege in a short period of time, so he requested for Xue Biao to retreat. The latter was extremely unwilling to do so, but the casualties were close to half, and he lost his will to fight.

Long Tianyu and Cao Can had already brought their troops back to the city. Facing the hundreds of thousands of Qin Soldier s below the city, they had only suffered over 200 casualties, and only knew that the array formation was effective, but the soldiers guarding the city gates were more than half dead and half injured. Fan Kuai, Lu Sheng and the other guards were more or less injured.

As the two sides battled fiercely for an entire morning, the Qin Army had more than two thousand dead bodies and nearly half of them were injured. The allied army, who held the advantage in terms of terrain, had also lost close to a thousand people, but fortunately Long Tianyu was worried that it would affect the lives of the citizens. He took out a thick wooden board in front of the houses in the city to block the crossbow bolts that were taller than the city walls, and accidentally obtained tens of thousands of arrows.

In the middle of the afternoon, after sweeping the battlefield, thousands of sharp weapons such as spears and halberds were seized, which enhanced the fighting capabilities of the allied armies.

After lunch, Xiao He accompanied Long Tianyu to take care of the injured, reward the three armies, and encourage their morale. Facing these hundreds of soldiers who were unconscious with injuries and moaning with broken limbs, Xiao He could only endure his pity.

A merciful man does not command a soldier. War has always been cruel, and it is intolerable for women to be merciful in the slightest.

It was clear that they did not set up camp in a strict military formation. Because the Qin Army came from different counties, they did not have a unified coordination relationship, and they were even on guard against the enemy, so they did not put the peasant troops in their eyes. They never thought that there would be a chance of being ambushed.

Long Tianyu looked at Xiao He's hesitant expression and asked: "Yue Chang has something to say?"

Xiao He sighed: The peasant allied army is formed by gathering, they will suffer heavy losses in their first battle, although it is brave and killing the enemy, but I am afraid that their morale will be low, their fighting spirit will be weakened, the enemy will not retreat, and it will not be long before the deserters appear in the city, and then the city will be in danger!

Long Tianyu nodded, "What do you think, sir?"

Xiao He said joyfully, "It's nothing more than restoring one's prestige. Currently, the heroes of all four sides are all observing the situation in the Pei County. Clearly, they are all hesitating and do not dare to act rashly. According to the reports of the spies, the imperial government had issued an official recruitment order. Zhuang Ding from Henan and Anhui counties had been summoned to supply the Qin Soldier with reinforcements to encircle and annihilate the allied army. Some of the strong troops from the other counties had been under the watch of their lieutenants.

"To the north, the people of Changzhou, Peng Yue, led six hundred labourers, the people of Yongqiu, led four hundred people, the people of Southeast Sun City, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang gathered nine hundred strong men and headed towards Pei County. According to the rules of the Great Qin, they had twenty days to meet with Xue Biao's army, and those that were delayed would be dealt with according to the law. At that time, the strength of the Qin Army would increase, and our army would be surrounded on all four sides by the enemy, so there would be no external assistance.

Long Tianyu was stunned and shocked when he heard Chen Sheng's name. He thought to himself, didn't the historical records say that they were not sent out to fish for protection? Why was he transferred here to suppress the peasant uprising? Twenty days later would be the time of the rebellion in Daze, and they would probably not be able to make it!

Seeing that Long Tianyu was deep in thought, Xiao He did not know that he was thinking about Chen Sheng's old history. He thought that Chen Sheng was depressed and quickly consoled him, "Tian Yu does not need to worry about it, there is always a way.

Long Tianyu regained his senses and asked curiously: "How do I increase my reputation?"

Xiao He stated: The ancient times will bring about great events, and the heavens will have many omens, such as when the emperor sees the big bird, or when the Wen King sees the Fire Red Bird Ouroboros Clan gathering at the Zhou Society, or when the King of Qin obtains the crown, with the help of the Black Dragon's water, regardless of whether these are real or fake, they can make all the people in the world submit and support them. This old man thinks that it's better to just kill the white snake, or call it the Scarlet Emperor's incarnation.

Then, they will push back the enemy and break the siege of the Pei County before the reinforcements rush over. At that time, they will regroup their troops and go to the north to get Xue Prefecture and the south to get to the bottom of the Pengcheng. Their prestige will grow and shock the entire imperial court.

Long Tianyu was dumbstruck when he heard it, thinking, wasn't this the same trick that Liu Bang had played before in history? Why is it being used on me again? Furthermore, this method was clearly advertising!

But then he thought: In his own era, if the products were to be listed on the market, they would have to constantly bombard the television stations with a large number of advertisements, which would frequently appear in people's vision of life, thus influencing consumers' ideas with the star effect, thus achieving the profit goal. If advertising was used to deceive consumers, then this time, it would be deceiving the feudal citizens of the whole world, and paving the way for the completion of imperial industry.
