Chapter 224 It's not easy to find them one by one
"Chu Jiang, right? I will remember you!" Qi Jianshu covered his wound and stared at Chu Xi deeply with his dark eyes.
Chu Xi, however, didn't care at all about Qi Jianshu's words, which could be regarded as a challenge. He just raised his eyebrows indifferently, as if silently answering - Oh, so what?
Qi Jianshu was afraid that Chu Jiang's indifferent attitude would make his wound more severe, so he turned back to the team and asked someone to call a military doctor to treat his wound.
As for Chu Xi, he knocked on the city gate in front of Qi Jianshu and even the tens of thousands of rebels behind him. The gate opened a crack, and he walked into the city calmly and slowly.
As soon as the person entered, the door closed again mercilessly...
Qi Jianshu almost felt that the abdominal wound he had just treated was about to burst open again, "......"
They had spent so much effort trying to break open the city gate, but Chu Jiang could just walk in so leisurely...
Although all the people inside were soldiers of the Great Zhou, and it was reasonable to open the door for Chu Jiang, Qi Jianshu still felt uneasy!
The military doctor who treated Qi Jianshu's wound was not a military doctor in Xianyang City, but a man from Western Chu who was skilled in medicine. Although he had recruited these rebels, he still did not trust them.
In his opinion, since these people could betray the Great Zhou, they could also betray himself. People who were too spineless were not worthy of his trust and reuse!
The Western Chu military doctor cleaned all of Qi Jianshu's wounds with neat and tidy movements, and also applied medicine. "General, your wounds have been treated. Don't get wet for a few days!"
Qi Jianshu just hummed, but didn't take the following sentence to heart.
After all, taking over Xi'an City is the top priority right now, and this injury is nothing to him.
When Chu Xi returned to the city wall, several ordinary generals immediately surrounded her, like a star-studded cast of stars, and asked her how she felt about the battle with the commander of Western Chu.
"I just heard from General Han that the man you fought against was a descendant of the famous Qi family of Western Chu. The Qi family's spear skills are indeed very good, but it's a pity that he didn't expect you to be better!"
"Your swordsmanship is truly unique. You are so young but you have the demeanor of a great general. Chu Jiang, you have a bright future!"
Chu Xi saw that they were all very excited, as if they had taken stimulants, and they couldn't wait to go down and fight with real swords and guns. He couldn't help but feel helpless and funny.
"In fact, Qi Jianshu's spear skills are not bad. Han Ziyu should be able to feel this. If he also uses a spear, I might have to spend some more time!"
Since her trip to Yunzhou, she had faced killers like Nalan who were skilled in using swords and drew blood faster than the sword could draw. She realized that if the sword in her hand was just a gentleman's sword and was not sharp enough, it would not be able to intimidate the enemy.
For this reason, after returning to the capital, she had specially asked Chu Er and other secret guards to practice with her every day, so that she could find out her own shortcomings through fighting, and know how to deal with the same situation next time!
People accumulate experience and become stronger and stronger through constant failures and practical experiences.
"Attack the city. I want to see the city gate open before dawn!" Qi Jianshu fought with Chu Xi as he wished. The young man was just as he imagined, with unfathomable martial arts skills.
But the strength of one person is not enough to change the entire situation of the battle.
Therefore, instead of being upset and angry, it is better to urge the soldiers behind you to take down the North Gate quickly!
With his orders, the tens of thousands of people behind him naturally did not dare to slack off. The siege troops continued to push the heavy siege equipment to knock down the doors and climb the walls.
The eight immortals cross the sea and each show their magical powers.
Han Yaojun and the others were not happy for long. After a moment, they were thrown into the battle again.
What awaits them is endless fighting. This is how the battlefield is. As long as they have not fallen and as long as the enemy is still attacking, they cannot slack off in the slightest.
Chu Xi always stayed by Zhou Yichen's side. While she was killing the rebels who climbed up the wall, she also had to take care of Zhou Yichen's situation.
Even though Zhou Yichen has enough ability to protect himself and his martial arts skills are even better than some generals, the battlefield is full of swords and knives, and no one can guarantee that they will not be injured 100%.
Moreover, Chu Xi has not forgotten that there are many spies from Western Chu and Japan mixed in with the Xi'an city defenders. If the other party takes this opportunity to kill, she is afraid that she and Zhou Yichen are too far away and have no time to take care of them.
Zhou Yichen's swordsmanship was inherited from the prince's martial arts master specially selected for them by the palace, so his status would naturally not be too low.
He was the famous general who had fought alongside Chu Xunyang, Marquis Qi Yang.
As a martial arts master for several princes, Marquis Qi Yang's swordsmanship was not inferior to Chu Xun Yang. The only pity was that his wife suffered a hemorrhage during childbirth and lost her life in giving birth to a daughter.
Although Marquis Qi Yang had several illegitimate sons, none of them inherited his talent in martial arts. His only legitimate daughter later married Prime Minister Rong... Perhaps she was born weak, and died early after giving birth to a son and a daughter.
Although several princes have been exposed to martial arts since childhood, Zhou Yichen is the only one who has really practiced hard over the years.
Zhou Yichen's swordsmanship was vigorous and he used a heavy sword. Every time they clashed, his opponent would be suppressed by his heavy sword and had almost no power to resist.
They had been fighting for a whole night and several hours, and in the end, even someone like Han Yaojun, who was already accustomed to fighting on the battlefield, couldn't help but feel a little... weak.
They had been swinging swords for several hours. Even if they were not injured, they could not withstand raising their hands repeatedly. The numbness in their arms forced them to stop and rest.
Dawn broke over the horizon, and a ray of morning light quickly began to spread.
After a night of hard fighting, Qi Jianshu under the city wall had lost more than ten thousand people, and the corpses were piled up at the city gate.
Some were shot to death by arrows, some were killed after climbing up the wall, and some were thrown down because there was no room on the wall...
In short, the saying "One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of hundreds of soldiers" suddenly popped up in Chu Xi's mind.
Seeing that Qi Jianshu on the opposite side raised his hand and asked the siege troops to temporarily stop the attack and take a rest, they did not have any luck or happiness in their hearts, only... the confusion of seeing no hope.
Without reinforcements and food support, they don’t know how to continue this battle.
During the short period of truce, Han Yaojun had already asked people to start cooking, and the people in the city also helped spontaneously.
Chu Er and Bian Hangqing had been guarding the city last night, and sure enough, the house where the grain and fodder were stored was attacked repeatedly!
Fortunately, Bian Hangqing brought people to guard outside the house early. With their continuous actions and perseverance, I am afraid that they would have succeeded in the sneak attack.
As for Chu Er, he guarded some important roads in the city and captured hundreds of "spies" who wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble in the city, many of whom were soldiers wearing the armor of the Great Zhou.
If they didn't want to take advantage of the opportunity, it would be really difficult to catch them one by one!
