Chapter 68 Xiang Yu, what is your opinion on the 100,000 people below the city?



Upon hearing this, Qin Hongyu was immediately startled.

Dong Dahai sent her into the city so that he could either capture or kill Jiang Tian.

Now it's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly.

Jiang Tian was right in front of him.

Qin Hongyu wanted to take action.

But then he glanced behind him at Luo Xiaohu's 50 cavalrymen.

These cavalrymen, wielding lances and clad in gleaming armor, exuded an aura of dominance.

Although Qin Hongyu was a veteran of the battlefield, she had never fought against such well-equipped cavalry before.

Qin Hongyu glanced at Jiang Tian again, then turned to look at Luo Xiaohu and the fifty cavalrymen behind him.

Qin Hongyu knew that if she acted now, she would not only gain no advantage whatsoever, but she would also likely expose herself prematurely.

It's clear that Jiang Tian has a strong liking for Fairy Miaomiao.

Now that things have come to this, we might as well take advantage of Jiang Tian's feelings for Fairy Miaomiao.

By then, killing Jiang Tian or kidnapping him would be an easy task.

“Young master, I do have a younger sister, but she was separated from me two years ago. My father is very worried and hopes I can search for her whereabouts.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian pointed at Long Cheng and said, "If Fairy Miaomiao were your sister, you would be able to see her today."

The Fairy Miaomiao resides at the Fairy Music Pavilion on Phoenix Street. This little girl is beautiful and sings wonderfully.

She was the top courtesan at the Fairy Music Pavilion.

Qin Hongyu on horseback: "Does this young master often patronize my sister's establishments?"

"To be honest, I haven't been there yet."

The two walked and talked.

Outside the city, there were refugees everywhere.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Tian couldn't help but frown.

"What is your opinion of these refugees, young master?"

“They’re all unfortunate people.” Jiang Tian sighed deeply. “It’s just that these unfortunate people are being used as pawns without even realizing it.”

"Why do you say that, young master?"

It's a long story.

"This young lady is willing to hear the details. I wonder if you could explain it clearly, sir?" Qin Hongyu was shocked when she heard a few days ago that these people were being used as pawns.

“Girl, look at all these people all over the mountains and fields. Longcheng is located on the frontier. What are they doing here? Is there anything for them to eat?”

It was simply that the rebel army behind them used them as shields and human shields, sending them to their deaths.

“Some of those peasant uprising armies were truly despicable. They used the pretense of caring for the people, but in reality, they did things that were morally reprehensible.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Hongyu immediately retorted, "Young Master, that's an exaggeration. The Great Xia Dynasty's government is corrupt and incompetent, and the people are suffering terribly, which is why there have been repeated uprisings..."

Qin Hongyu rambled on and on to Jiang Tian.

Jiang Tian then looked at the little girl in front of him, who looked exactly like Fairy Miaomiao.

An ordinary young girl would never be interested in this kind of topic.

Qin Hongyu was speaking entirely from the perspective of the peasant uprising army, and the young girl became more and more excited as she spoke.

Could it be that Qin Hongyu is a member of the peasant uprising army?

Looking at those emaciated refugees with their families, Jiang Tian felt a pang of sorrow.

He had no interest in arguing with Qin Hongyu, a young girl.

The gates of Longcheng were tightly shut.

Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, now commands more than 2,000 soldiers.

More than 1,000 of them were recruited by Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, from the military camp east of the city.

Located on the frontier, Longcheng's eastern military camp, in addition to defending several nearby counties, was frequently dispatched to the frontier to fight against foreign invasions.

The soldiers in the eastern military camp were mostly veterans who had been through countless battles. Their military skills were many times better than those of ordinary civilians.

Upon seeing Jiang Tian approaching, Xiang Yu, atop the city gate tower, immediately waved his hand and ordered, "Open the city gate."

"Yes..." The city gate slowly opened.

Jiang Tian led his men and rushed inside.

at the same time.

When the people outside the city saw the city gates open, they all got up from the ground.

"Hey everyone, look! The city gates are open!"

"Rush in quickly!"

"There is food and drink in the city."

"You'll survive if you rush in. Follow me and charge in."

Incited by someone, the people rushed toward the city gate without regard for their own safety.

Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

Everyone drew their bows and nocked their arrows.

"Fire..." With that command.

Arrows flew out of the city like raindrops.

Xiang Yu did not intend to kill these ordinary people; he merely wanted to frighten them.

As expected.

All the arrows landed on the ground in front of the people.

The people were so frightened that they stopped abruptly.

Jiang Tian and his dozens of men rushed into the city, and the city gates were quickly closed.

Xiang Yu rushed down from the city wall and walked up to Jiang Tian: "This humble general Xiang Yu greets my lord."

Qin Hongyu was greatly surprised when she saw Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu.

She had never seen such a tall and imposing man before.

Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, exuded an aura of dominance. Even an ordinary person could feel that domineering presence, let alone a woman like Qin Hongyu who led troops into battle.

"What's the situation inside the city?"

"It's alright, but the wells are slowly drying up, and many wells are already dry."

Jiang Tian wasn't worried at all about all of this.

Jiang Tian currently has enough rage points to exchange for more than 50 wells.

According to the system prompts.

Once Jiang Tian has exchanged for more than 100 wells, he will be provided with a ten-kilometer-long river.

This river is perfect for serving as the moat of Dragon City.

In this way, the water source of Longcheng will never run dry.

"I'll solve the water problem tonight." Jiang Tian headed straight for the city gate.

Standing atop the city tower, one can enjoy a panoramic view.

The area below the city was densely packed with refugees.

Where did these people come from?

"My lord, I am unaware. My men are investigating immediately."

Jiang Tian watched as more and more people gathered near the city gate.

"The enemy's siege force will be here soon." Jiang Tian looked around, but didn't see a single cavalryman.

Dragon City is not large, with a population of only tens of thousands at most.

Suddenly, so many people poured in from outside the city.

What Jiang Tian saw was not the common people, but the stepping stones to achieve his hegemony step by step.

"Xiang Yu, what do you think of these people who have come from afar?"

"Rest assured, my lord. Just give the order, and I will lead my troops out of the city immediately. I, Xiang Yu, regard these people as mere weeds."

Xiang Yu was an absolute master of warfare.

In the Battle of Julu, he had only 20,000 soldiers, yet he faced a Qin army of 600,000.

He led only 800 elite troops and fought his way in and out of the Qin army's camp nine times.

His bravery is unmatched in the world.
