Yun Qingshu led the Chu army on a seven-day raid and finally reached Nanzheng.

After going through such a long detour, as long as they capture Nanzheng, they can advance straight to Xianyang. If the surprise attack succeeds, not only will the crisis of Chu be resolved, but Qin will also surely collapse.

This is Chu's last chance, and also Yun Qingshu's last chance.

"Soldiers!"

Yun Qingshu shouted as he looked at the distant city walls, "Once we capture Nanzheng, we'll only be half a day's journey from Xianyang. We must take Nanzheng before nightfall, or we'll lose this golden opportunity..."

The Chu soldiers were filled with fervor upon hearing this, and they all raised their weapons and shouted.

"kill--!"

The Chu army launched a general offensive, surging towards the city gates of Nanzheng like a tidal wave. The Nanzheng soldiers guarding the city gates immediately sounded their drums in retaliation, and the two sides clashed.

Yun Qingshu stood at the front of the formation, observing the enemy's situation.

Nanzheng was much more sturdy than he had imagined.

Although the city had been attacked by the Chu army many times, the defending troops inside the city still resisted stubbornly and did not retreat an inch.

On the city gate tower, dozens of archers aimed at the Chu army and fired volleys of arrows, felling the Chu soldiers to the ground.

Meanwhile, massive stones from the city walls rained down on the Chu army, killing countless soldiers.

Yun Qingshu frowned. Why would Nanzheng suddenly have so many troops at this time?

Could it be because of him?

Yun Qingshu's heart skipped a beat.

If that's true, it would be terrifying!

He simply couldn't believe that Lu Li had already thought of this! Impossible, absolutely impossible.

The Chu army continued its fierce attack on the city, but the number of defenders on the city walls was decreasing, while the Chu army's losses were decreasing.

"Bang!"

A huge rock fell from the city wall and crashed heavily at Yun Qingshu's feet, sending fragments flying and raising a cloud of dust.

Yun Qingshu waved away the dust in front of him, and the Chu army launched an even fiercer offensive. The city was in imminent danger.

Yun Qingshu knew that she couldn't wait any longer.

"All troops, charge!" At this command, the Chu army surged forward like they were on steroids, climbing onto the city gates of Nanzheng one after another.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The deafening roar caused the city gate to shake violently, teetering on the verge of collapse.

With a loud crash, the city gate collapsed, and the Chu army swarmed in, breaking through the city gate of Nanzheng and pouring inside.

The Chu army moved with incredible speed, quickly occupying every street in Nanzheng City. Everyone was extremely excited, searching everywhere for traces of the enemy and trying to eliminate them as soon as possible.

However, they searched all over Nanzheng but found no living people. Apart from some corpses and bloodstains, there was nothing there.

"What happened? Where are all the people from Nanzheng? Where did they all go?"

The Chu army's deputy general shouted in exasperation. He never expected that they would capture an empty city without even taking a single prisoner!

"Sir, it seems that the people of Nanzheng have all fled. I just checked and there is no food or provisions left in the city."

"What did you say? The grain is gone too?"

Yun Qingshu's expression changed instantly, and his heart skipped a beat!

broken!

Just then, shouts of battle came from all around the city, and Yun Qingshu quickly climbed onto the city walls.

But then they saw the Qin army surging in from all directions like a tide, numbering a full 200,000!

"Sir, something terrible has happened! Qin troops are at all four gates! We're surrounded!"

The four gates of Nanzheng were surrounded by a large army of 600,000 troops!

Yun Qingshu took a deep breath, raised his head and looked into the distance. He had a strange illusion that he could see Lu Li's mocking smile.

When the King of Chu attacked the city, he suffered heavy casualties and paid a heavy price before he finally captured Nanzheng.

Now that the city gates have been breached and the Chu army is surrounded on all sides, not to mention that there is no food or supplies in the city, how can they possibly hold it?

He lost, and this time he lost completely.

Lu Li guessed his intentions once again. He had actually woven a large net in advance, just waiting for him to jump in.

"Sir, shall we break out? There's still a chance!" the lieutenant urged.

Yun Qingshu stared intently in the direction of Xianyang, then shouted frantically, "No, we'll attack Xianyang!"

With only 100,000 troops at the North Gate, they can still break through even at a cost. Yun Qingshu has over 200,000 troops, and they will definitely be able to reach Xianyang!

As long as he captures Xianyang and takes the King of Qin prisoner, he will not have lost!

"Sir, this is unacceptable. If they have already guessed our actions, how could Xianyang not be on guard?"

The deputy general remained rational, but Yun Qingshu had been completely blinded by his emotions.

These 200,000 Chu soldiers must not be sent to their deaths.

"Then what should we do? Are we just supposed to wait to die?" Yun Qingshu roared.

The lieutenant lowered his head, unsure of what to do.

"On my command, break through to the north gate! Head straight for Xianyang!"

The Chu army has entered a desperate situation, while Yun Qingshu must find a way out!

Little did Lu Li know that the fact that there were only 100,000 troops at the North Gate was also a deliberate act by him, so that Lu Li could break through from the weakest point and deplete his manpower once again.

"Kill them!"

The Chu soldiers roared and charged toward the Qin army at the north gate. In an instant, the two armies were entangled, the sounds of clashing swords rose and fell, and blood splattered, staining the earth red.

Yun Qingshu led his many Chu soldiers in a desperate battle. His surroundings were littered with the corpses of Chu and Qin soldiers, covered in blood, like demons crawling out of a battlefield.
