Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

Five days later, outside Feihe City, war drums were beating loudly, and the Qin army was pouring in like a tide. Their black armor was flashing a cold light in the sun.

The Qin general Chu Liji rode on a tall warhorse, staring at the tattered Zhou army flag on the city wall with his eyes sharp as torches.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of cold smile. Feihe City, this once indestructible city, is now a spent force.

The defenders in the city were exhausted, short of food and fodder, and had few defensive equipment left.

Chu Liji knew that if he made one more effort, the city would completely collapse.

"Siege!"

At Chu Liji's command, the Qin army's trumpets suddenly sounded, deafening.

Thousands of Qin soldiers carried ladders and pushed battering rams, rushing towards the city wall like a tide.

Arrows rained down like locusts, densely shooting towards the top of the city. The Zhou army soldiers raised their shields to resist, but many people were still hit by the arrows and fell down with screams.

On the city wall, Zhou army general Xue Huaide held the halberd tightly with a serious look.

He knew that today's battle might be Feihe City's last line of defense.

"Fire arrows!"

Xue Huaide shouted loudly, and the archers of the Zhou army drew their bowstrings and shot arrows like rain at the Qin army under the city.

However, the Qin army's offensive was too fierce. Although many Qin soldiers fell under the rain of arrows, more Qin soldiers still rushed forward one after another.

Ladders had been placed on the city walls, and Qin soldiers were climbing up like ants. The Zhou soldiers on the top of the city walls desperately used spears, stones, and rolling logs to smash down, trying to stop the Qin attack.

"Hold it! You must hold it!" Xue Huaide's voice echoed on the city wall, but his heart was full of anxiety.

There was very little food and grass left in the city. The soldiers could only get half a bowl of thin porridge every day and their physical strength had long been exhausted.

The city defense equipment was almost used up, there were only a few rolling logs and stones left, and the arrows were almost exhausted.

Xue Huaide knew that without reinforcements, Feihe City might not survive today.

At the same time, Chu army general Zhao Yu was also working hard to command on the city wall.

His armor was stained with blood, and the spear in his hand was stained red with blood.

Zhao Yu is a famous general of the Chu State. This time he joined forces with the Zhou army to defend the city. He is well aware of the importance of Feihe City.

Once Feihe City falls, the Qin army will march straight into the heartland of Zhou State, and the Chu State will also face a huge threat.

However, facing such a fierce offensive from the Qin army, Zhao Yu also felt powerless.

"General, the east gate is in danger!"

A soldier came running over in a hurry, his face covered in blood and his voice filled with despair.

Xue Huaide's heart sank. The East Gate was the weakest point in Feihe City. Once it was breached, the Qin army would pour into the city like a flood.

He immediately led a team of elite soldiers to the East Gate. However, when he arrived, a large hole had been created in the wall of the East Gate by the Qin army's battering ram, and Qin soldiers were pouring in through the hole.

"Kill!" Xue Huaide roared and led the soldiers to rush forward.

The two sides engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand fight under the city wall, with swords flashing and blood splattering everywhere.

Xue Huaide wielded his halberd and chopped down several Qin soldiers in a row, but his physical strength was rapidly depleted.

The soldiers around him fell one after another, but the Qin army's offensive did not weaken at all.

"General, we can't hold on any longer!" A deputy general's face was covered in blood, and his voice was filled with despair.

Xue Huaide gritted his teeth. He knew that Feihe City was in danger. The food in the city had long been exhausted, and the soldiers were fighting on an empty stomach, and their physical strength had long been overdrawn.

The city defense equipment had been used up, arrows, logs, stones had all been used up, even the kerosene had been used up.

The Qin army's offensive did not weaken at all, but became more and more fierce.

"Hold on a little longer! Reinforcements will definitely come!" Xue Huaide shouted loudly, but his heart was filled with despair.

He knew that it might be too late for reinforcements.

Feihe City, this once indestructible city, is now in jeopardy and may collapse at any time.

Just then, a cry of surprise came from the city wall.

Xue Huaide looked up and saw that the Qin army's siege tower had approached the city wall, and the Qin army archers on the tower were frantically shooting arrows at the top of the city wall.

The soldiers of the Zhou army fell one after another, the defense line on the top of the city had collapsed, the ladders of the Qin army had already covered the city walls, and the soldiers of the Qin army surged up like a tide.

"It's over..." Xue Huaide's heart felt cold.

He knew that Feihe City could no longer be defended.

The soldiers in the city were exhausted, their food and supplies were depleted, and their defense equipment was used up, but the Qin army's offensive did not weaken in the slightest.

Feihe City, this once indestructible city, is now in danger.

"General, let's retreat, it will be too late if we don't retreat now!" The deputy general's face was covered in blood and his voice was a little hoarse.

Xue Huaide gritted his teeth. He knew that if he persisted, more soldiers would die in vain.

He glanced at the people in the city, his heart filled with pain and resentment.

Feihe City, the city he once swore to defend with his life, is now about to fall into his hands.

"Retreat!" Xue Huaide finally gave the order to retreat.

The soldiers of Zhou and Chu retreated into the city one after another, and the soldiers of Qin poured into the city like a tide.

Feihe City, the once indestructible city, finally fell.

The people in the city cried and fled everywhere, while the Qin soldiers burned, killed and looted wantonly in the city.

Xue Huaide and Zhao Yu led the remaining soldiers to retreat out of the city, their hearts filled with pain and unwillingness.

Feihe City, the city they once swore to defend with their lives, has now fallen into the hands of the Qin army.

Chu Liji stood on the city wall, overlooking the chaos in the city, with a smug smile on his face.

Feihe City, this once indestructible city, has now fallen into the hands of the Qin army.

He knew that the Qin army's iron hooves would trample the entire Central Plains, and the demise of Zhou and Chu was only a matter of time.

"Pass the order down, let the front troops chase and kill the Chu-Zhou coalition forces!"

"The rear troops will immediately occupy all the fortresses in the city and kill everyone they encounter without mercy!"

"Send a messenger, inform His Majesty immediately and tell him that I am going to massacre the city to boost morale!"

"If Your Majesty is interested, please enter the city and watch the massacre in person!"

"Yes!" The messenger responded and immediately went down to deliver the message.

Chu Liji stood on the city wall with a sneer on his face.

Although Chu Ning destroyed 100,000 Qin troops in Hecheng, Feihe City has now been captured by him. The Chu-Zhou coalition has been defeated, and the Zhou Dynasty will surely be destroyed under the iron hoof of the Qin army.

While he was deep in thought, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the city.

Turning around, I saw that it was the Qin Dynasty's dragon flag being escorted by soldiers. In the middle, the Qin Emperor was riding a horse and was guarded by everyone.

Upon learning that Chu Liji had taken over Feihe City, Ying Zheng came uninvited!

Chu Liji did not dare to delay and immediately went down the city wall to greet him at the city gate.

"See Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and laughed, "You did a great job this time. It only took you five days to capture Feihe City. I will reward you handsomely!"

Chu Liji was just about to speak when a horseman came galloping towards him.

"Your Majesty, it's bad, the Chu-Zhou coalition forces are coming back!"

This one sentence made everyone's face change drastically.
