Chapter 215 Became a running dog of the Western Chu people
Despite the temptation of huge sums of gold, it did drive many people subconsciously to approach Han Yaojun in the beginning, wanting to catch him.
But when those people really got close to Han Yaojun and fought with him, they instantly lost confidence in being able to catch him, and wanted to turn around and run away.
But, it's already too late.
Han Yaojun would not let go of anyone who tried to take his life. His dark and deep eyes were extremely sharp. While being besieged by five or six people at the same time, he used the force to fly into the air and stepped on the swords that were stabbed at him by several people.
With what seemed like an easy leap, he went behind them, and the tip of the sword cut deep gashes on their backs. They screamed in pain, and they couldn't hold the swords in their hands steadily, so they fell to the ground.
The other three reacted a beat slower, and when they wanted to turn around and kill Han Yaojun, he had already used the force of his opponent to pull a man who had just climbed up the ladder and stood in front of him.
Before he could react, he felt an unprecedented pain in his chest as three swords pierced through his body at the same time.
If Han Yaojun behind him had not been prepared and stepped back a few steps, I'm afraid the three swords would have stabbed him together!
Upon seeing this, Han Yaojun expressionlessly threw the man stabbed with swords in front of the three men, leaving them at a loss as to what to do. They hurriedly threw away the dead body.
A sword had already slashed across the necks of the three of them as decisively and neatly as if cutting vegetables.
The three people didn't even have time to shout before they fell down without a sound.
The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. Before Han Yaojun arrived with reinforcements, the more than 200 people on the city wall fought desperately, but their despair was hard to conceal.
In contrast, tens of thousands of people under the city wall were excited and impatient. They felt that breaking through the city gate was just around the corner.
However, as Han Yaojun and his men arrived, countless arrows were fired from the city wall. One soldier after another was hit and fell from the ladder, screaming incessantly.
The attacks from below the city wall seemed to have slowed down and morale plummeted.
Although they were wearing the armor of the Great Zhou soldiers, Han Yaojun still found something wrong.
He is different from Chu Xi. Chu Xi has been staying in the capital all year round. He has been in the army for less than two months and has never fought against the Western Chu and Japanese armies.
Chu Xi didn’t recognize any of the generals from Xichu and Dongying.
Oh, no, there is still one, that is Qi Minsong, who had entered the capital with the two princes of Western Chu before, and he will be a famous general of Western Chu in the future.
A future famous general with a tragic but loyal end.
The Qi family has always been the most famous military family in Western Chu. However, no matter which dynasty or country, any military general with real ability seems to be suspected by the king...
When the birds are all gone, the bows are put away; when the rabbit is dead, the running dog is cooked.
However, Han Yaojun and the Qi family are unaware of all this for the time being. After all, no one can predict the future.
Han Yaojun was promoted to general based on his military achievements. He had fought against almost all the famous generals from Western Chu and Japan.
Now under the city wall, there was a man leading the way, sitting high on his horse, looking at him with sharp eyes. He recognized him at a glance. That was... Qi Jianshu, the cousin of Qi Minsong from Western Chu.
Since the death of the previous head of the Qi family, the direct heir Qi Minsong was still young at the time. If you calculate carefully, it has been nearly seven years since the Qi family withdrew from the power center of the Western Chu court.
It wasn't until last year that Qi Jianshu suddenly appeared out of nowhere, with the Qi family's family-taught spear skills, that he reappeared in the public eye. His domineering attitude was just as dazzling and arrogant as when the previous head of the Qi family was still alive.
It is said that Qi Jianshu is only a branch of the Qi family and not a direct descendant.
"Qi Jianshu, it seems that Xianyang has been controlled by Western Chu." While killing the enemies, Han Yaojun unknowingly approached Han Ziyu. The moment he recognized Qi Jianshu, he instinctively muttered to himself.
Han Ziyu had followed Han Yaojun in his battles for many years, so he naturally recognized Qi Jianshu and frowned.
Although I had speculated long ago, I still held a glimmer of hope deep down in my heart.
If the Great Zhou army really rebelled, it would be easier to deal with. At least they would not be so cruel as to attack the people of the Great Zhou and harm the elderly, the weak, women and children.
If it were the people of Western Chu, the situation would be very different.
From ancient times to the present, many famous generals have the habit of massacring cities. Even if they did not attack the civilians, tens of thousands of soldiers in Xianyang City would inevitably die.
Han Ziyu frowned, and his men continued to hack people. "General, I don't understand how they got into Xianyang City! With so many soldiers, how did they do it?"
Even though they had temporarily hidden in the mountains due to floods a few days ago, the river was turbulent at the time. Even though they were not afraid of death, they braved the wind and rain and took a boat through Xi'an to Xianyang.
But with so many people, how did they avoid the patrols of the soldiers in Xianyang City, and how did they manage to capture Xianyang City despite the flood?
"Internal and external collaboration." Han Yaojun remained calm and uttered these four words indifferently.
"?" Han Ziyu was shocked. "General, do you mean that there is also a Western Chu insider in Xianyang City?"
What are these things!
Not only did so many people from Western Chu and Japan infiltrate the territory of the Great Zhou, but they were also able to capture the city so quickly. This was simply a slap in the face of all the generals of the Great Zhou!
Han Yaojun didn't answer, but his expression showed that Han Ziyu guessed right.
"Where did those tens of thousands of troops come from?"
But even so, Han Ziyu still couldn't believe how tens of thousands of soldiers could cross the river in such bad weather and approach the city!
This is not something that can be accomplished by relying solely on internal support. You have to know that these are matters of God. Even if Western Chu is eager to expand its territory and capture the cities of Great Zhou, I think it would not dare to take risks on such a big matter!
"It has been raining heavily for several days. Even if the Western Chu is eager to capture Xi'an and Xianyang, they dare not take the risk of crossing the river at this time."
Han Yaojun thought for a moment and said, "There is only one possibility. Qi Jianshu has been hiding in Xianyang for a long time, and these tens of thousands of soldiers are not all from Western Chu. The defenders of Xianyang City must have rebelled!"
Upon hearing this, Han Ziyu's face immediately changed and became as cold as ice. The sword in his hand stabbed into the rebels who climbed up the ladder more and more ruthlessly.
He said with a sharp look in his eyes, "Then they deserve to die even more. As soldiers of the Great Zhou, they became running dogs of the Western Chu people and pointed their blades at us!"
"I'm just guessing. Don't make a decision about the defenders of Xianyang City easily before you fully understand the situation inside the city." Han Yaojun finally understood why Chu Jiang repeatedly emphasized that Western Chu and Dongying were interested in Da Zhou.
They are already ready to move, like hungry wolves with their mouths open, waiting to be fed.
Han Ziyu nodded, "Yes."
Han Yaojun's men did not stop, and the sword was pulled out from the rebel's chest. "The other three gates have not made any movement for the time being. I hope that the Seventh and Eighth Princes are not so stupid as to really seek the skin of a tiger!"
If there were only tens of thousands of defenders in Xianyang, he would still be confident of winning.
But once the Eighth Prince collaborates with the enemy and betrays Xi'an, turning it into an isolated city, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to them!
