Without further hesitation, Ying Zheng turned around and returned to the Qin Palace to issue the order.

Lu Li, meanwhile, hurriedly led Cangwu to the front lines and blocked Li Xin's army, which was trying to return to Qin.

When Li Xin saw Lu Li arrive, he was immediately filled with shame, dismounted, and knelt on the ground.

"Sir, Li Xin deserves to die!"

Although Lu Li was angry, now was not the time to blame him.

"General Li, how many troops do you have left?" Lu Li asked.

"180,000!"

Three hundred thousand troops! Now only eighteen thousand remain of the three hundred thousand troops. Li Xin felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

"Alright, now listen to my command: the army turns around and charges back!"

Li Xin was immediately stunned, almost thinking he had misheard that the Wei and Chu armies had already joined forces.

The former Korean territory is now garrisoned by more than 200,000 troops, while they only have 180,000. How can they possibly conquer it?

But Li Xin knew he had made a mistake and did not refute Lu Li. However, they had just suffered a defeat and the morale of the soldiers was low.

Lu Li strode up to a high point on a chariot and shouted, "Soldiers, the fault for this defeat lies with me, not with you!"

"But what are you? You are a fierce and ruthless army that strikes fear into the hearts of all nations!"

"Are you willing to go back looking so dejected?"

After a few seconds of silence, all the Qin soldiers shouted in unison, "We are not reconciled! We are not reconciled!"

Since they marched east, they have conquered two countries and have never suffered such a defeat.

"Since you're not willing to accept this, what should you do?" Lu Li shouted again.

"Charge back! Retake the city!"

Lu Li clenched his right fist and pressed it against his chest, shouting loudly: "Valiant Qin, let us face the national crisis together! We will not return until our blood is shed!"

Immediately afterwards, the entire army of 180,000, starting from the vanguard and continuing to the rear, all shouted in unison.

"The valiant Qin people, united in the face of national crisis. We will not return until our blood is shed!"

This statement can be a slogan, but it can also become a belief.

It is a belief left behind by the Qin army throughout the ages, which is why the Qin army was known as the army of tigers and wolves.

Since strategy and tactics are no longer effective, let's take the military approach!

Let them see what a truly ferocious army looks like! The 180,000-strong army immediately turned around and charged back.

Li Xin personally took the lead, determined to make up for his previous mistakes!

A direct assault is the worst possible strategy, but Lu Li has no choice but to do so now, otherwise even Wang Jian's 300,000-strong army will be wiped out!

If that happens, everything will be ruined.

180,000 Qin troops once again besieged the city, and this time, Yun Qingshu stood on the city wall facing Lu Li.

"I never expected the Qin army would dare to attack again!" Xiang Yan said with a sneer.

Yun Qingshu frowned deeply; what he feared most was that the Qin army would return.

If Li Xin leads his troops back to Qin, they can directly surround Wang Jian and attack his reinforcements.

But before they could establish a firm foothold and surround Wang Jian, Lu Li was able to revitalize the Qin army's morale and lead his troops back to fight again.

"Lu Li, oh Lu Li, you truly live up to the name of Guigu!"

This time, Yun Qingshu truly witnessed Lu Li's power.

Whether using strategy or military tactics, this person will always surprise everyone.

"Rest assured, sir, I will make sure they never return!"

Xiang Yan is most skilled at defending cities. Now that he has more than 200,000 troops stationed here, how can the Qin army of only 180,000 possibly dare to attack?

But what Yun Qingshu feared was not these things, but Wang Jian and Wang Ben!

If Wang Jian and Wang Ben were to return to their aid at this time, they would be surrounded. Hopefully, Wang Jian and Wang Ben wouldn't receive the news so quickly.

This was the only thing Yun Qingshu could pray for!

"Brothers! Kill them!!!"

Li Xin shouted loudly and charged ahead of the pack!

The 180,000-strong army relentlessly attacked the city for five days, suffering heavy losses on both sides, but the Qin army failed to breach the city walls.

Lu Li stood at the back, observing the movements in the city. He was waiting!

"Report! General, a group of Qin soldiers has appeared at the West Gate and is fiercely attacking the city!" A Chu soldier reported from the city wall.

Yun Qingshu immediately exclaimed inwardly, "Oh no! Wang Ben really came!"

"General Xiang, go quickly to support Ximen, I'll stay here."

Xiang Yan nodded quickly and led his troops toward the West Gate.

There are only 10,000 troops stationed at the west gate. If Xiang Yan doesn't go there, it will probably be breached in a long time.

Lu Li suddenly saw that chaos had broken out on the city wall and even Xiang Yan had left. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Ben had finally arrived!

They have attacked cities countless times, and from the initial 180,000 troops, they now have only 150,000 left.

This time, Li Xin and Cangwu directly attacked the city gates. The city gates were impregnable, having been reinforced and strengthened by Li Xin himself, but they now blocked their advance.

"Get out of the way, let me have a turn!" Cangwu roared.

He used his broadsword to cut through the conical pillars of the siege, and to everyone's astonishment, he lifted the conical pillar up with his bare hands.

"My God! Is this person not made of flesh and blood?" Li Xin was dumbfounded. How could a single person lift up a conical pillar used for siege?

The next moment, Cangwu roared and charged towards the city gate.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

After three sounds, a crack appeared on the city gate.

Cangwu took a few steps back with the cone-shaped pillar on his back, then sprinted forward, threw the pillar, and slapped it hard on the back.
