Although the Qin army's arrow rain had stopped, there were already over a thousand men of sacrifice who had taken advantage of the arrow rain to reach the top of the city wall.
Facing these men of sacrifice who had already reached the top of the city wall, even if three to five Chu soldiers fought together, they would not be able to kill them in a short period of time.
Moreover, there were more men of sacrifice who would ascend the city.
"Chen Ying, are you going to die in my hands?”
The city was littered with corpses and arrows, causing Xiang Yan to be in a daze.
At this moment, Xiang Yan, who had always been extremely confident and believed that she was the pillar of Chu, finally wavered.
"Whoosh!"
A piercing sound rang out.
While Xiang Yan was in a daze, an arrow pierced his chest.
Xiang Yan was forced back by the impact of the arrow. She held onto the arrow shaft and leaned against the wall of the city tower to stabilize her body. Blood was already flowing from the corner of her mouth…
"General!"
Seeing the arrow, the guards guarding Xiang Yan all rushed forward and raised their shields to protect him.
Amidst the haziness, Xiang Yan's gaze fell on the platform of the Qin army.
Li Xin chuckled and handed the longbow in his hand to the deputy general beside him.
The arrow on Xiang Yan's chest was shot by Li Xin.
As the main commander, although Xiang Yan's position is at the back and there are personal guards protecting her, Li Xin's godly archery skills are not a joke.
Just now, the arrow that humiliated King Chu Fuchu and destroyed the morale of the Chu army was deliberately shot by Li Xin.
If he had not promised Ying Zheng to capture Fu Chu alive in the report he sent back to Xianyang, Li Xin would have killed him with a single arrow.
If this was the case, Ying Du would be defeated!
The King of Chu had been shot dead, so why would Xiang Yan's Chu army still be guarding the city?
Fu Chu fled down the city wall, leaving Xiang Yan alone on the city wall. Li Xin naturally would not hold back.
Taking advantage of the chaos on top of the city wall caused by the large number of men of sacrifice, he shot an arrow directly at Xiang Yan's chest.
Even though they wore battle armor, how could the triangular arrowheads produced by Great Qin's military be ordinary?
Coupled with the blessing of the Shooting Halo, Li Xin's arrow directly pierced through Xiang Yan's armor and body, nailing Xiang Yan to the city tower.
Li Xin, who was clear about his own strength, knew that Xiang Yan would definitely not survive after being shot by the arrow.
Seeing Li Xin attack again, the morale of the Qin army rose once again.
All of them clambered up the ladder and climbed up the city wall.
At this moment, the Qin soldiers felt that there were not enough scaling ladders. They surrounded the scaling ladders and wanted to climb the city immediately.
Great Qin's system of military merits had a long history, and the Qin soldiers knew that only by killing enemies could they obtain military merits.
Moreover, under Li Xin's leadership, it would be easy to fight.
After a few waves of arrows, he would go up and collect the heads.
It was as if he could do anything.
The Qin soldiers naturally had bloodshot eyes.
On the other hand, the Chu army.
As the number of Qin soldiers increased, the Chu army was on the verge of collapse.
In addition, Xiang Yan was shot by an arrow, and there was no one to command the city walls. The Chu army's defense was even more chaotic.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Chu army had a large number of soldiers, the Qin army would have already broken through the city.
"Great King! Not good!"
In the palace of Ying Du.
The frightened King of Chu, Fuchu, had just changed into a clean set of clothes and was pacing back and forth restlessly in the hall when a commandant rushed into the hall.
This commandant of the Chu army was covered in blood, and no one knew if it was his or the Qin army's blood.
There was even an arrow stuck in his left arm. It had barely cut off half of the arrow's body, and the remaining half and the arrowhead remained on his arm.
Fu Chu's face fell when he saw the commandant's miserable appearance and the words 'not good' added to it. He broke down and said,""R-How? Did the Qin army attack the city?"
The commandant gulped and panted while holding his wound."The Qin army has yet to break through the city, but General Xiang Yan…"
"How is General Xiang Yan?" Fu Chu hurriedly asked.
The officials in the hall also stared at the commandant anxiously, waiting for his answer.
"General Xiang Yan, I'm afraid he won't make it…" the commandant said in pain.
With a thud, King Chu Fu Chu fell to the ground.
Xiang Yan was the last hope of Chu.
Now, he was about to die.
If that was the case, how could the Chu army defend Ying Du?
He knew very well that once Xiang Yan died, the Chu Country would not be far from being destroyed.
Seeing that Fu Chu was in a daze, the commandant did not dare to delay and hurriedly said,"Your Majesty, General has ordered this general to lead an army of a thousand men to escort Your Majesty and the other lords out of Ying Du during the chaos. Please do not delay and quickly follow this general out of the city!”
"Escape?"
Fu Chu, who was sitting on the ground, muttered,"Where else can I run to?" Once Ying Du falls, my Chu Country will be gone…"
"Great King!"
"We can flee north to Qi or directly south to Yue!" the commandant said anxiously.”
"Although Ying Du is dangerous, it's not like there's nowhere to go in the world!”
"If we enter Qi, we can station troops together with King Qi to resist the powerful Qin. If we enter Yue, we can convince the Yue people to help us recover Chu!”
"General Xiang Yan used his own life to exchange for precious time for the king and the other lords. Does the king want the general's sacrifice to be in vain?”
Without waiting for Fu Chu to speak, the officials in the hall said,""That's right, King! Since things have come to this, we should first escape from Ying Du and think about it further!”
"This subject suggests that Your Majesty flee in the direction of the Qi Kingdom. If you can enter the Qi Kingdom, King Qi will not ignore your advice.”
"I agree. Your Majesty, time is precious. We should leave immediately. If we wait for the Qin army to break through the city, it will be too late to escape!”
Fu Chu had lost hope. They did not want to die with him.
Hearing all the ministers 'suggestions, Fu Chu forced himself up and said weakly,""Ugh, forget it. I will listen to you one more time. Let's go…"
