My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 236 Xiang Yan: King Chu is nothing!Don't compare King Chu with my brother!
Ying Chengyu led his army to attack Xiangcheng, which dealt a huge blow to Xiang Yan. It was already an unbearable burden on Xiang Yan's life!

Seeing Xiang Yan vomiting blood, Xiang Qian and others all panicked.

"Clan leader, calm down!"

"Master, calm down!"

"Where's the doctor? Get the doctor over here quickly!"

Xiang Yan grabbed Xiang Qian's hand and shouted angrily: "Who told you to call the doctor?"

"You know how much damage it will have to the morale of the army if this general is ill!"

Seeing Xiang Yan vomiting blood, Xiang Qian subconsciously called the doctor for consultation.

But Xiang Qian suddenly woke up after Xiang Yan reminded him.

Now the Chu army has suffered a huge defeat. If the Chu army knows that Xiang Yan can't stand it anymore, the morale of the Chu army will definitely collapse!

Xiang Qian immediately unsheathed his sword and said in a deep voice, "It's my brother's fault!"

After saying this, Xiang Qian held the sword in his back without hesitation and pierced his own thigh!

Xiang Qian's heart was trembling and his hands were trembling.

But it only took him two breaths to calm down before Xiang Qian drew his sword.

In an instant, blood flowed profusely!
At this moment, the doctor ran into the camp and asked anxiously: "Is Shangzhuguo okay?!"

Xiang Qian shouted in pain: "This general is injured, come and treat me quickly!"

Seeing that it was Xiang Qian who was injured, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward: "General, please sit down first."

Lifting up Xiang Qian's lower clothes, sprinkled with medicinal powder, and bandaged it with clean silk cloth, the doctor picked up the medicine box and left the military tent with a relaxed smile.

After the doctor left the military tent, Xiang Yan said in a deep voice: "Remember the pain of this sword."

"Don't be so anxious again."

"Being in the military, every word, deed, and action of you and me involves the attention of the entire army. All decisions must be made carefully before making!"

Xiang Qian's head was covered with cold sweat, but he still bowed his hands and said, "I'll teach you!"

The atmosphere in the military tent suddenly became tense.

After Xiang Yan's lips moved a few times, he asked with a trembling voice: "Will the Qin army massacre the city?"

Xiang Qian hurriedly said: "We have never!"

"Brother Lang has ordered Feng'er to escort the young and old of the clan to escape from Xiangcheng."

Xiang Qian's voice was full of pain: "However, when Brother Cang led us to charge, unfortunately we were trapped in the Qin army's formation and died in the battle."

"And the Qin army is chasing after them after seizing the city. I'm afraid our clan will suffer... a lot of damage in this battle!"

Xiang Yan's eyes widened, his pupils shrank, and the world in front of him became dark again. He tried his best but could only let out an almost inaudible cry: "Cang brother, die in battle?!"

"Brother Cang!"

Xiang Yan's father was away fighting all year round and had only two sons.

The emotion between Xiang Yan and Xiang Cang is not inferior to the emotion between Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu.

Now that Xiang Cang died in battle, the blow to Xiang Yan was greater than the fall of Xiang Cheng!

Xiang Qian quickly walked to Xiang Yan's side and pinched her again.

After a while, Xiang Yan finally regained consciousness.

Looking at Xiang Yan, who seemed to have become haggard and ten years older in an instant, Xiang Qian knelt on the ground and said sadly: "It's because we didn't protect her properly!"

"Please ask the clan leader to punish him according to clan rules!"

Xiang Yan shook her head and said bitterly: "It's too late to say this now."

"It would be great if the young and old in the clan can escape from Xiangcheng."

"What a pity for my dear Xiang son!"

"What a pity, my dear brother!"

For Xiang Yan, he would rather Shouchun City be breached than Xiang City.

Anyway, the capital of Chu State has not been breached before, and it will be breached again.

Even if Shouchun City was turned into scorched earth, Xiang Yan didn't feel any distress at all.

But Xiangcheng is different. Xiangcheng is Xiang Yan's food town and the Xiang family's clan. It is where Xiang Yan's interests lie!
Xiang Yan would rather the person killed was the King of Chu than his younger brother.

If a King of Chu is killed, a new King of Chu will appear.

If no new King of Chu emerges, Xiang Yan can even unite the clans to establish a King of Chu on his own.

It’s just the life of a King of Chu, it’s nothing!
There were not just one or two kings of Chu who died in battle or were captured, so it was not uncommon.

But there is only one younger brother. How can the fate of King Chu be compared with that of Xiang Cang!
Tired on the ground, Xiang Yan looked at the ground with dull eyes, silently.

Xiang Qian and his soldiers called Xiang Yan softly, but received no response.

If Xiang Yan's chest was still rising and falling slightly, it would be hard not to suspect that Xiang Yan had died of heart failure.

Nearly half an hour later, Xiang Yan slowly put away his legs, stood up with his right hand on the soldier's shoulder.

Xiang Qian comforted softly: "Clan leader, please..."

Before Xiang Qian could finish speaking, Xiang Yan asked in a deep voice: "When did the Qin army sneak attack on Xiangcheng? How long did this battle take?"

After nearly half an hour of adjustment, Xiang Yan suppressed her personal emotions.

The one who fell to the ground was the eldest brother Xiang Cang, but the one who stood up again was already the leader of the Chu State Shangzhu State, the general of this army, and the head of the Xiang clan!
There was no sadness in Xiang Yan's voice, but it was just firm and unquestionable!
Xiang Qian quickly replied: "On the occasion of the evening yesterday."

"From the time Brother Lang started making noise to the time Xiangcheng was defeated, it took less than an hour."

Xiang Yan's eyes narrowed: "An hour?"

"In just one hour, the Qin army defeated Xiangcheng?!"

Xiang Qian said guiltily: "Maybe it's less than an hour."

"The Qin army came suddenly. They pressed heavily with troops as soon as the battle started."

"The Lord of Chang'an even acted as an advance guard and led his troops to attack the city."

"After I woke up and put on my armor, before I could reach the city gate, the city gate was already captured by the Qin army!"

Xiang Yan was surprised.

It was very rare for a general to rush into battle before Xiang Yu.

Will the Lord pretend to be the first to seize the city personally?Xiang Yan has never heard of this!
Faced with this crazy tactic, even Xiang Yan might suffer a heavy loss, let alone ordinary generals such as Xiang Lang.

Xiang Yan said with emotion: "No wonder we captured Xiangcheng within an hour."

"The Chang'an Lord of the Qin State is a cunning man!"

"This battle is not your clan's fault."

"Get the map of Kun!"

He ordered his soldiers to unfold the map of Kun, and Xiang Yan carefully examined the terrain that he was already familiar with.

"Xiang Cheng..." Xiang Yan pointed the wooden stick in his hand at Xiang Cheng and slid along the road to the surrounding cities: "Chen Cheng, Cheng Fu, Ju Yang, Ping Yu..."

While thinking about it, Xiang Yan felt that the situation was getting more and more difficult.

Judging from the local battlefield, Xiang Yan surrounded Wang Ben's troops.

But looking at the overall battlefield, it was Wang Ben who held back Xiang Yan's troops.

If he wants to get rid of the obstruction of Wang Ben's troops, Xiang Yan needs to lead his army in the direction of Zhaoling and make a big turn.

But in this way, the Qin army can open up the transportation channel of Anling City, Wuyan Mountain, and Xiangcheng, and gain a firm foothold in Xiangcheng.

However, if Xiang Yan's troops do not turn to the southeast and continue to fight fiercely in Wuyan Mountain, the Qin army only needs to send 30 troops to Xiangcheng, and it will be able to use Xiangcheng as a springboard to bloom in the center of Chu's northwest territory.

There is even a chance to capture all the Chu cities northwest of Shouchun City, and the army threatens Shouchun City!

"Can the Qin State still mobilize 30 troops and horses?" Xiang Yan frowned: "If the Qin State cannot mobilize more troops and horses, Chang'an Lord will go deep into Xiangcheng alone, but it will give our army the opportunity to be surrounded on all sides. .”

"Could Mr. Chang'an be that stupid?"

"Or is it that Lord Chang'an raided Xiangcheng just to take revenge on me?"

"But, that shouldn't be the case. Everyone is their own master and fighting against each other is all business. Why should we have personal grudges over business?"

There is a serious lack of information available to Xiang Yan.

He can only make inferences based on the existing battlefield intelligence and then make his own judgment.

After a long while, Xiang Yan finally spoke: "Instruct Chen Cheng, Cheng Fu, Ju Yang... and other seven city defenders."

"Send scouts to scout the city for twenty miles around the clock, day and night!"

"Send orders to all clans, please increase their troops to reinforce Shouchun City!"

"Send the order to Captain Xiang Rong to speed up the attack on the city!"

"I am reporting to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to immediately inquire about the battlefield situation between Yan and Zhao, and to inquire whether the Qin army has increased its troops again."

"I'm reporting to the king, asking the king to recruit more troops and horses to reinforce our troops!"

"Instruct Qu and Zhao to march forty miles westward and march immediately!"

"After the two clans of Dai Qu and Zhao leave the camp..." Xiang Yan paused before continuing: "Spread the news of the fall of Xiang City!"

Xiang Qian's pupils shrank sharply: "Chief, if this is the case, the morale of the army will be in chaos!"

Xiang Yan said quietly: "This general wants to unsettle the morale of the army."

"But as long as this general is still there, the morale of the military will not completely collapse!"

Xiang Qian and his soldiers looked at each other at a loss, not understanding what Xiang Yan wanted.

But now that General Xiang Yan has given the order, Xiang Qian can only hand it over: "Wei!"

The more than [-] soldiers of the Qu and Zhao clans carried their bags in a daze, without raising any fire. They even left their tents and cooking stoves behind, so they could only turn westward in the dark.

After Qu and Zhao left the military camp, a piece of news quickly spread among the army at an unreasonable speed, and spread throughout the entire army after dawn!
"Have you heard that Xiangcheng has fallen?"

"Hiss~ Xiangcheng has fallen? That's the food town of Shangzhu Kingdom!"

"I heard that all the brothers in Shangzhu Kingdom were killed!"

"Ah? Is our family okay?"

As the news spread, the morale of the Chu army dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the originally stable military formation also began to waver.

Some small clans even directly left their garrisoned defense areas and quickly went to the Chinese army to inquire about the safety of their own food towns.

Faced with these commotions, Xiang Yan did not give a single answer.

He just stared at the Misty Mountain with his eyes tightly!
Smokey mountain top.

Xin Sheng looked down at the turbulent Chu army and the fragmented defense line, and said excitedly: "General, Chang'an Lord should have succeeded!"

"He really captured Xiangcheng!"

Wang Ben couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise and respect in his eyes: "I never thought that Lord Chang'an would actually be able to seize Xiangcheng so quickly!"

When receiving Ying Chengyu's overall strategic plan, Wang Ben disagreed.

Because Chang'an Jun's tactical thinking is completely different from Wang Ben's.

It's too dangerous to fight like this!

But Wang Ben didn't expect that Ying Chengyu would really capture Xiangcheng and Xiang Yan's hometown in a short period of time!

Xin Sheng was eager to try: "General, charge into the formation!"

"The Chu army is currently in turmoil. This is a great opportunity for our army to counterattack the Chu army and win a complete victory!"

The reason for the Chu army's turmoil is clear, and almost all generals can't help but take advantage of this opportunity to expand their results.

But this 'all' does not include Wang Ben!

Wang Ben asked back: "Do you still remember our army's mission?"

Xin Sheng was slightly startled, and then his voice became a little lower: "Annihilate the coalition forces of all ethnic groups."

"If the main force of Chu army reinforces, then the main force of Chu army will be held back!"

Wang Ben nodded slightly: "General Xiang may have prepared an ambush for our army, deliberately luring our army down the mountain to deepen the encirclement."

"General Xiang may not have prepared an ambush, but I just thought too much."

"But victory is not the purpose of our army, and it is not the purpose of our army to defeat the enemy."

"No matter whether General Xiang has an ambush or not, I will not go down the mountain."

"As long as I can hold back the main force of the Chu army, I will be worthy of the king."

Wang Ben looked at Xin Sheng: "Remember, neither you nor I are the Lord of Chang'an!"

Will you change strategic goals at will just for the sake of gains and results?

Do you think King Qin is also your eldest brother?
