Ge Ying fled back to Gaoyang in a panic, immediately closed the city gate and cleared the fields.

At this time, it is easy to say that the walls are strong and clear. There is nothing to collect in the four fields, only the cold wind whistles by, and the weeds are rolling up from time to time on the ground, as if it indicates some ominous result.

After entering the city, Ge Ying immediately assembled the army. There were still tens of thousands of defenders in Gaoyang City. Although they were not as many as the Qin army, they were strong and clear and defended the city, so they were not afraid of the Qin army, which was not very advantageous in terms of quantity.

Ge Ying has sent someone to report to Chen She that the main force of the Qin army has arrived in Gaoyang, and hopes that King Chen will make a quick reinforcement.

What he didn't know was that Chen She was in a state of Chen County at this moment. At almost the same time, he received emergency documents from three parties. To the east, Zhang Han captured Dingtao and defeated Qin Jia, Zhu Jishi and others. At this time, Zhang Han had already marched into Tuo County and approached Chen County.

Song Liu's troops in the west had already captured Yangcheng. When they were about to attack Nanyang, they were stopped by a Qin army that came out of nowhere and were defeated at Nanyang. It is said that the commander of the Qin army was a young general named Li Yuan.

The northern Rongyang City was originally captured by Wu Guang, but it was cleaned up by the Qin army overnight. All the generals Tian Zang and Li Gui died, and hundreds of thousands of Zhang Chu soldiers disappeared like this. This is not the end. Gao Yang, who was guarded by Ge Ying, was in a hurry again.

Even Chen She knew that the Qin army was going to surround him from three sides to catch turtles. In the past few days, he was so anxious that his mouth was blistered, his urine was yellow, and he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He cursed the guards of all sides in the palace all day long, and even his favorite female pets were avoided.

The only good news is that Xiang Liang from Kuaiji rose up and supported the Zhang Chu regime. He was coming all the way north. With the enemies around him, Chen She saw a glimmer of dawn on Xiang Liang.

He knew that Xiang Liang was a descendant of Xiang Yan, a famous general of Chu State. It is said that his nephew Xiang Yu was even more powerful than ten thousand people and was the best of the three armies. Once the Xiang Liang army arrived, he could use this force to counterattack the Qin army.

After Daze Township raised the anti-flagship, Chen She gradually felt that it was difficult for generals based on peasant background to compete with the mixed forces of the aristocratic families. Many old brothers who had raised an army with him in the early days were blinded by the victory in front of him and began to enjoy themselves.

A few days ago, a guy who had worked as a hired worker in Longshang yelled, "Don't forget each other." He came to Chen She for official positions and wealth. Originally, Chen She wanted to give him some small favors. Unfortunately, this guy didn't tell the truth and said everywhere how down-and-out King Chen was at the beginning, which made some of his generals gradually despise Chen She.

It was unbearable, and my uncle could not bear it, but my aunt couldn't bear it. Chen She was furious and killed the fellow villager. He took this opportunity to kill many old men following him in Daze Township. Chen She's starting point was good. He wanted to replace the management class of Zhang Chu's regime, but the method was wrong.

Many surviving old people gradually became disloyal from him, but the strength of the aristocratic families had not yet been integrated, which made the Qin army's counterattack so successful. Now Xiang Liang is coming, and Chen She is a little relieved. At least the banner of Xiang Liang supports Zhang Chu's regime, so he should use this force to resist Qin first. After all, everyone's common enemy is Qin.

Chen She thought about it and Gao Yang had to save him, but now he really had no troops. In the end, he gave Ge Ying a white note, which read: You will hold on for a few days and the army will arrive. Keep Gao Yang, and you will be the first to achieve your goal.

Ge Ying saw the army arrive on this white note, and immediately announced to all the defenders in Gaoyang City to defend and wait for assistance. For a moment, Zhang Chu's army in Gaoyang City was very morale. Of course, this was a few days later.

Besides, Su Jiao's vanguard army took advantage of the victory and rushed towards Gaoyang City like a tiger. Seeing Ge Ying's men crossing the moat, the suspension bridge gradually raised. Su Jiao's eyes were about to break, and his mace flew straight to Gaoyang City.

Although the water in the moat had frozen, the ice surface was still about half a foot away from the ground, which was inconvenient to cross. Immediately, a ladder for siege was crossed across the moat. Su Jiao ordered. More than 10,000 vanguard troops of Qin launched an attack on Gaoyang City.

Before, the Qin army's arrow formation severely damaged Ge Ying's troops. Now that the offense and defense have changed hands, Zhang Chu's archers immediately retaliated and fired arrows on the top of the city toward the Qin army that was trying to rush across the moat.

The first wave of soldiers who rushed to the ladder of the moat had no way to avoid the arrow rain. Some gritted their teeth and jumped onto the ice layer of the moat. Due to excessive force, many soldiers fell and broke and dislocated.

The first batch of soldiers who rushed to the moat, whether they were on the ladder or jumped into the moat, could hardly escape the shooting of Zhang Chu archers in Gaoyang City. The Qin army was shot in groups of arrows on the ladder and fell into the moat.

Some of them were only slightly injured and fell, but fell directly on the crossbow shaft inserted on the ice layer. They were unlucky and directly pierced the vital points and died. Blood was splattering, and the transparent ice layer of the moat was originally white, gradually dyed red by the blood. A pool of blood flowed out of the soldiers' bodies, and frozen on the cold moat together with the owner of the blood, which seemed extremely eye-catching.

Some of the fast-reacting Qin troops hid under the moat near Gaoyang City, where there was a dead corner of the shooting of bows and arrows. They escaped by chance.

Seeing a large number of Qin troops being shot and killed, Su Jiao roared. He waved his mace, jumped off his horse, and strode towards the ladder crossing the moat. Seeing that the main general was ahead, no one was willing to fall behind, the Qin army roared and rushed towards Gaoyang City.

Zhang Chu archers from Gaoyang City shot out waves of bows and arrows in an orderly manner, shooting the Qin soldiers rushing over. Su Jiao's charges were blocked by rainy bows and arrows, leaving hundreds of Qin army corpses back to the starting point.

"Grandma, you have bows and arrows, and I have them too." Su Jiao pulled off the silk ribbon that was torn by the bows and arrows outside the armor and roared angrily: "Archer, shoot me the dog thief on the city. I don't believe it, and I can't attack."

The mace flew, and Su Jiao rushed up the ladder of the moat again, and thousands of soldiers rushed out behind him. The Qin army's archers followed closely behind the charge echelon. After reaching the range, they immediately bent their bows and arrows and fired arrows at the defenders of Gaoyang City.

For a moment, arrows were raining up and down the city.

The Zhang Chu soldiers at the top of Gaoyang City finally began to suffer casualties. Although the Qin army was under the city, the power of bows and arrows was still fierce.

"The archer who shot them." Ge Ying directed Zhang Chu's archers and yelled while thrusting feather arrows.

Immediately, a large number of arrows fell from the archers formation under the Qin army. They shot upwards, and Zhang Chu's army shot down, and the high and low were judged immediately. A large number of Qin army archers were shot dead. The remaining archers still insisted on shooting against Zhang Chu's army at the top of the city, creating opportunities for Su Jiao's siege army.

Just as Su Jiao led his people to the city of Gaoyang and raised the ladder, Zhang Chu soldiers immediately fell down the ladder and threw it down with a torch. As soon as a ladder was mounted on the city wall, they were ignited by the turbulence, and obviously they could not climb. This was because Zhang Chu soldiers were anxious, otherwise they would have been ignited when they were halfway up, and the Qin army was probably suffering a lot of casualties.

As the ladders caught fire, some Qin soldiers were stained with tincture oil and ran around wailing. Some were burned to death by the fire, and some were shot by arrows on the top of the city.

Su Jiao was beaten back to the team again, looking at Gaoyang City and furious. He pulled off the armor on his body, slammed his upper body, revealing his strong muscles, and roared again: "Come with me if you are not afraid of death."

The Qin army behind him also had his eyes red at this moment, and he roared and rushed out.

This time, Su Jiao led his troops to the moat and immediately launched an arrow attack to suppress the archers at the head of Gaoyang. He wanted to rescue hundreds of Qin troops hiding under the moat.

These hundreds of Qin troops were suppressed in the moat and could not show their heads. If they were not rescued, they would probably freeze to death in the moat. Although Su Jiao was brave and bloodthirsty, he was very concerned about his soldiers.

Just when the attacks between the two sides were fierce, Hu Hai had already arrived.
