Chapter 727 Xiang Yan Falls
Famous ministers and generals like Xiang Yan from before the Tang and Song Dynasties, especially during the Warring States period, were generous and fierce, and their hearts were like fire. When encountering desperate situations, many people would choose to die in battle.

Thinking that this is the real man, Tai Shici said that a man should hold a three-foot sword and make great achievements. If he can build meritorious deeds and show his prestige, even death is worth it.

This kind of upright spirit left over from the ancient and middle ages gradually disappeared after the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Xiang Yan came from the end of the Warring States Period and was not afraid of death. He already had the determination to defend the city and live with Jiangxia City.

But he can die, but the Xiang family can't just die.

There were still some young children of the Xiang family in the city at this time, and Xiang Yan called Fan Zeng to let him lead people away from Jiangxia before the Xia army surrounded the city wall.

"Your Majesty..."

Fan Zeng's complexion was not very good. After listening to Xiang Yan's words from his old-looking body, his spine became more curved and his eyes dimmed.

He was full of unwillingness. When he was in Lingbi, he was still high-spirited and felt that he could help Xiang Zhuang to rise up and get Xiang Yu to come.

But now it seems that he doesn't have this ability at all.

Talented people came out from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. Fan Zeng was able to show his ability in the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han, and was vaguely comparable to Zhang Liang. This does not mean that he can really beat the opponent.

Famous officials and counselors from other eras would not be much worse than Fan Zeng if they came to the Chu and Han Dynasties.

He can have such a great reputation, mainly because of one thing, that is, he insisted on killing Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet. Apart from this point, Fan Zeng did not show any special strategy.

In the end, he fell into the divorce scheme of Chen Ping of the Han army, which led to his death in grief and indignation.

The enemies that Xiang Chu faced now were Feng Yi, the great general of the Eastern Han Dynasty who conquered the South, and the elite Xia army who rushed to him... He tried his best, but he couldn't save the collapsed situation.

Even if Xiang Yan could listen to him and bow down to the Han army with suppressed anger, the chance of Xiang Chu being able to keep Jiang Xia is very small.

"Go! Leave before Xia Jun arrives!"

Xiang Yan's voice was a little hoarse, and she handed over the Tiger Talisman to mobilize a small amount of Xiang family generals and soldiers.

Fan Zeng was silent for a moment, bowed deeply to Xiang Yan, then picked up the tiger charm and left.

Looking at the back of Fan Zeng leaving, Xiang Yan suddenly gave a wry smile.

"Let's go, go a little farther, when Yu'er appears, Chu Kingdom still has a chance to separate itself!"

Xiang Yan thought to himself.

He is not ignorant and foolish. These days, he is also thinking hard about Xiang Chu's way out. There are Eastern Han in the north, Daxia in the east, and Huanwen and the Bashu Han army in the west.In the future, Jingxiang will inevitably become a battle zone for several major forces.

Not long ago, he wanted to send a surprise army to capture Xiangyang, just to avoid such a situation.

Unfortunately, he failed.

So far, Chu has never had any chance to rise in Jingxiang.Only Lingnan and other places far away from the two lakes have room for the rise of a new dynasty.

It's just that Xiang Yan couldn't seize this opportunity.

Surrounded by heavy troops, he wanted to command the army to retreat, there was no hope, and he was unwilling to beg for mercy from the Han army and Xia army.

As a general and prince of Chu, he has his own dignity.

After half a day.

With a small group of people quietly leaving from the south of Jiangxia City, Xia Jun's elite then covered the world and shielded Jianghan from coming. The warships were like giant beasts in the water, and once they appeared, they isolated the Han River and the Yangtze River.

The Xia army should have arrived early, but Lu Meng and Gan Ning received news from the Eastern Han army, so they left [-] sailors behind and built a water village in Xiakou to guard the entrance of the Han River and the Yangtze River.

After finishing these things, Xia Jun came to the city.

Although Gan Ning and Lu Meng were anxious, they did not mess up their rules and show their flaws.

The Xia army's navy was invincible. After covering the river, the Eastern Han army could only garrison on the north bank, waiting for the opportunity to make a move.

The Eastern Han Dynasty criss-crossed the Central Plains, using infantry and cavalry as sharp weapons, and the navy was very weak. After capturing Xiangyang, they only recruited less than [-] sailors under Liu Biao's command.

Liu Biao's navy has never experienced any battles, and it doesn't even have one-third of the capabilities of Xia Jun's navy.

After capturing Hanchuan, Feng Yi ordered Wang Chang to guard the rear army, while himself, Gai Yan and Liu Laozhi led thousands of cavalry to the Jiangbei Ferry, where Xia Jun's navy could be seen from a distance.

"Admiral Xia Jun is invincible!"

Seeing the well-trained Xia Jun sailors and the warships stretching far away on the river, Feng Yi's expression became serious.There is even more emotion in my heart.

It is said that seeing a thing is worth seeing a hundred times, and this sentence is really good.

Before seeing Xia Jun's naval division with his own eyes, Feng Yi thought that when the enemy attacked Jiang Xia, he would prepare himself in the north of Jiangbei to contain Xia Jun's north.

He also wanted to meet Xia Jun and learn about Xia Jun's true strength.

Now, with Feng Yi's eyesight, after seeing the warship of Xia Jun Navy, he knew that his plan had failed.To attack rashly, the army of the Eastern Han Dynasty will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and even be counterattacked by the Xia army, losing the city in Jiangbei...

Liu Laozhi had expected it a long time ago. When he was fighting Xia Jun, he had seen the sharpness of Xia Jun's navy, so his expression was relatively normal.

Gai Yan and Feng Yi looked similar.

boom!
In the eyes of these generals, Xia Jun guarded the river with his navy, and the other elites disembarked quickly. The Chu Army built many fortresses on the bank, and a son of the Xiang family personally led people to prevent Xia Jun from landing.

However, before the two sides started fighting, the warships on the water, which looked like giant beasts, began to bombard them.A large number of spiritual fire bombs began to bombard the defense lines like a rain of meteors.

In an instant, the flames soared into the sky, and the violent roar shook the ground. The front bunker was blown up into the sky in an instant.Many soldiers were blasted to death on the spot, and some Chu soldiers were engulfed in flames and turned into human torches.

The stern blood color and the soaring flames merged, and the two sides fell into a fierce fight from the beginning. When the Xia army landed, the Chu army also blasted stones and arrows.

"Kill! Don't stop, press directly!"

Lu Meng waved the command flag, instead of carrying out fire bombing as before, using powerful military equipment to reduce the casualties of soldiers.

This time he directly ordered a strong attack.

Without any hesitation, many soldiers rushed up against the counterattack of the Chu army, with an incomparably ferocious momentum.

Gan Ning stood on the five-toothed ship, with a powerful mind, he locked Xiang Yan on the Jiangxia city, and also saw the Han army cavalry on the other side of the river, his expression was as usual.

The actions of the Han army could not be hidden from Xia Jun's spies. They knew that the main force of the Han army was still in Hanchuan, and had just traveled a long distance and had not yet returned to its peak.

The thousands of cavalry on the opposite side were just watching the battle, and could not have any major impact on Jiangxia on the south bank.

Lv Meng and Gan Ning changed their old habits, even though they saw some soldiers being accidentally killed by the arrows and stones from the Chu army, their expressions did not change at all.

Xia Jun's attack, advancing all the way under such a fierce momentum, blocked the fortress defense line in front of Xia Jun, like a castle on the beach, swept by the waves, and disappeared in smoke.

After half an hour.

Tens of thousands of Xia soldiers swept across the city, and finally set up camp in the outskirts of Jiangxia, sealing Xiang Chu firmly in the city.

The Han army and the Xia army are both top dynasties in the Chinese world, and their every move has attracted many people's attention.

Many civil servants who are good at keeping watch, as well as strong men who hide in the mountains and have not defected to the big forces, even though the matter has nothing to do with them, they all want to see the power of the two dynasties up close.

On a quiet and steep mountain outside Jiangxia City, there were two people watching the battlefield in the distance.

These two people look alike, but one looks weaker, while the other is imposing, energetic, and extraordinary.

"Xiang Chu is going to be destroyed!"

The weak-looking man made a judgment after watching Xia Jun and Chu Jun's offense and defense.The other person next to him also nodded in agreement.

Both of them are ninth-level powerhouses, but their aura is well hidden, and Feng Yi and Lu Meng are not aware of it.

"Brother, Jiang Xia fell into the hands of Xia Jun, and Xia Jun stretched out his hand to Jingxiang. This is to compete with the Eastern Han army. I don't know who will have the upper hand!"

The person next to him said casually.

"Well, the general of the Eastern Han Dynasty is Feng Yi. This person entered the martial arts temple and was recognized as a top general in all dynasties. He Ruobi, the general of the Xia Army, is also no small feat. Both sides have profound backgrounds, with more than a million elite teachers... "

"The collision between the two sides must be a fight between dragons and tigers. Jiangxia and Xiangyang will be troubled from now on!"

The weak elder brother sighed with emotion in a low voice.

Both of them are ninth-level powerhouses with extraordinary eyesight. After a few words with each other, they knew the situation that the Eastern Han Dynasty and Daxia would face next.

the next day.

The soldiers of the Xia Army who just arrived yesterday afternoon lined up amidst the sound of horns that shook the world. Catapults, spiritual fire bombs, siege crossbows, crash vehicles, ladders, and columbine carts were all prepared as quickly as possible. complete.

Then, Xia Jun launched a mad attack again.

Of course, this kind of mad attack was not without brains. Lv Meng commanded in front of the battle, and the Xia army array was like a tide, bombarding Jiangxia City wave after wave, and every time the attack was interrupted, the soldiers of the previous wave could rest for a while.

The attack like a tide has set off a lot of blood on the top of the city every time.

Lu Meng and Xiang Yan lock each other with their souls.

Compared with Lu Meng, Xiang Yan's ability is a little higher, but this advantage no longer exists during the successive defeats of the Chu army.

On the top of the city, one after another, stumps and broken arms were thrown out, and the blood almost covered the top of the city.

"General, the Hukou Battalion wants the guerrilla general to die in battle, and 780 people will be lost..."

"The Tiger's Back Battalion suffered more than 630 casualties..."

Under the strong attack, Xia Jun's elite soldiers also died in battle quickly. When adjusting the siege interval, several messengers came to report the casualties.Let Lu Meng and the two of them know what they know.

Lu Meng's expression was as usual, without any fluctuation, he waved his hand to let the orderly retreat, and then his thoughts quickly turned, and he withdrew the battalion with heavy casualties, while the other battalions continued to go up.

What casualties, as long as the [-] elite soldiers did not lose thousands at once, it is a normal loss figure.

Time flies.

During the fierce fighting, the soldiers on the battlefield lived like years, but the people watching the battle felt that it was night in the blink of an eye.

Night falls.

The dim city was illuminated by torches, and Xiang Yan was patrolling the city with his bodyguards with a tired face. The Xia army lost at least two or three thousand elites under a day's strong attack.

The losses of the Chu army were even more severe.

After successive defeats, the strength of the Chu army was far inferior to that of Xia's army. They were able to fight the enemy bravely during the day, all thanks to their blood and courage.

At night, the cool air and water vapor under the night drenched the uniforms. The soldiers of the Chu army who had been fierce and fierce at first came back to their senses at this time, and had time to be frightened by the brutal fighting during the day.

Looking at the blood on the top of the city, the morale of the Chu army is declining.

Xiang Yan originally wanted to shout a few words of anger to boost morale, but seeing the numbness in the eyes of many people, including several generals of the Xiang family, the anger in his chest suddenly turned cold.

With the current morale of the Chu army, he would not be able to withstand much time if he went to battle himself.

"Forget it, there is death!"

Xiang Yan pressed the hilt of the sword at her waist and strode away.

Day three.

The head of Jiangxia City was crumbling, and Xiang Yan also personally fought against Lu Meng. The violent roar covered tens of miles. The two were not weak, but neither was the strongest at the peak of the situation.

The commotion caused by their fight cannot be compared with Xia Jun's previous battle.

After Lu Meng made a move, Gan Ning was the one commanding the battle.

Gan Ning was known for his bravery, and so did his commanding style. The siege battle he commanded was even more ferocious, and the city of Jiangxia had already been occupied by many elite Xia troops.

But at this time, the Han army hoarding on the north bank for the past two or three days suddenly moved. Liu Laozhi and Gai Yan personally led dozens of Xiangyang navy warships to attack the Xia army navy that blocked the river.

Two famous generals of the ninth rank can pose a considerable threat to the Xia army navy.

Gan Ning could only slow down his siege and focus on the Eastern Han Navy on the north bank. The Eastern Han Navy was not strong, but as long as there were ninth-level powerhouses in command, they could not be underestimated.

After Xia Jun slowed down his attack, the Han Army Navy also retreated quickly, not to confront Xia Jun head-on.

"These people in the north are really disgusting!"

Gan Ning was so angry that he shouted angrily after withdrawing his troops.

Lu Meng was calm, but just smiled and said: "Don't worry, the chief executive's main force will arrive soon. Once the main force arrives, the Han army and Chu army will have no chance. Feng Yi should also know this. They can't take Jiangxia City, so It is only a small-scale harassment, and I dare not confront our army head-on."

"Calm down, the strength of the Chu army at the head of Jiangxia's city has lost most of it. As long as we continue to attack tomorrow, the city will be destroyed!"

At this time, Lu Meng no longer had the eagerness he had before sending troops.

Not long ago, the troops were sent out in a hurry because they were worried that the Han army would cross the river and seize Jiangxia, but now Jiangxia will be able to get it immediately, and return to the normal state of siege, and they will win a big victory.

After several days of strong attacks, Lu Meng and Gan Ning also realized how elite Xia's army was.

The Xia army's attacking elite can withstand a large number of casualties and retreat as usual. This alone is better than ninety-nine percent of the world's soldiers and horses.

Fourth day.

Under the harassment of the Han army, Xia Jun finally quelled the resistance at the top of the city.

Jiangxia city is broken.

Without the support of soldiers and formations, Xiang Yan's strength was greatly reduced. Lu Meng did not dare to be careless, and Gan Ning was also in the eyes of the North Shore, controlling the gods and besieging Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan had long been determined to die on the battlefield. After burning the source of life to die, a big star crashed into the void.

 It hurts, it hurts too much, the pain in the back is unbearable, the throat is hot, and the forehead is smoking... Since noon, I sat on the chair forcibly, twisted my waist and barely wrote [-] words.It's really a special and unreasonable disaster, it's uncomfortable......
