The group of people came to the city tower again and looked into the distance.
As expected!
Zhao Chen was a little puzzled. He did not understand what was going on.
Putting aside the fact that they had just lost a battle, it was already at this time. It would be dark soon. Why were they still attacking the city?
Moreover, the alliance army and the Yan Country's army had not arrived yet. It was not the right time to attack now!
Was it because Xiang Yu was angry out of humiliation?
Zhao Chen could not figure out the reason why the allied forces attacked the city, so he could only blame it on Xiang Yu.
After all, this made sense.
A dense group of black soldiers walked out from the main gate of the alliance army camp.
Upon closer inspection, there were more than ten siege ladders.
However, the number of people attacking the city was not all. There were only about 10,000 people.
Seeing this, everyone secretly relaxed a lot.
It should be a probing siege.
Although this action did not conform to military common sense and made people feel a little awkward, they did not panic like before when they heard that the alliance army was attacking.
Before that, Fan Zeng had chased Xiang Yu back to the alliance camp.
Xiang Yu rushed straight to the camp of the Chu army, dismounted on the drill ground, and shouted at the guards.
"Beat the drum!"
Thump! Thump! Thump...
As the drum sounded, the Chu army camp became noisy.
The nearby camps of the armies of the other countries were also attracted by the commotion in the Chu Camp, and they curiously surrounded the Chu Camp to watch the show.
Soldiers wrapped in black and blue cloth came out of the surrounding tents in panic.
Under the reprimands of their respective superiors, clamors rose from all directions as they lined up on the drill ground.
After nearly 10,000 troops lined up neatly, Xiang Yu ordered the logistics officer to prepare the scaling ladder and other siege weapons.
Just as he was about to lead the army out of the camp, Fan Zeng arrived late.
When he saw this formation, his expression instantly changed drastically!
Before they even reached the platform, they shouted from afar.
"Great General, you can't!"
He quickly came to Xiangyu's side and said angrily.
"Great General, you can't!"
After saying that, Fan Zeng pointed at the confused army below and tried to persuade them. "The Yan Country's army has not arrived yet, and the alliance army has not yet gathered. It is not wise to attack the city now…They are good men of the Chu Country!”
"Great General, you must not ruin the current good situation because of a moment of anger!”
Xiangyu was expressionless. As he listened to Fan Zeng's words, his heart turned cold.
He was quite unhappy and said in a stiff tone.
"Father, don't say anymore! I've made up my mind. Today, I'm attacking the city just to find out the actual situation of Hangu Pass!”
He ordered the generals at the front of the army.
"Let's go!"
"Here!"
"Here!"
“……”
As if Fan Zeng didn't exist, he walked straight down the platform, mounted his horse, and led a team of personal guards into the camp.
Staring blankly at the army pouring out of the camp like a tide, Fan Zeng's mind was filled with Xiang Yu's attitude just now.
Fan Zeng knew that there was an irreparable crack between him and Xiang Yu!
He couldn't help but feel sorrowful. His vision turned black and his body swayed. After a long time.
"Sigh…"
With a long sigh, Fan Zeng closed his eyes weakly.
He suddenly thought of Xiang Yu's uncle, Xiang Liang. If he was here, he should be able to persuade Xiang Yu, right?
What a pity!
"The Chu Country is in danger!"
Slowly opening his eyes, Fan Zeng's face flashed with fatigue. He walked down the platform and left the empty camp.
However, every time he thought about how the Chu Country would ultimately be in vain under Xiang Yu's leadership.
He felt guilty towards Xiang Liang, who had passed Xiang Yu to him.

……
A desolate horn sounded in front of Hangu Pass.
There are tens of thousands of people, boundless.
The black mass of the army was five hundred meters away from Hangu Pass, and more than ten scaling ladders were scattered among the army. As the sun set in the west, the entire world gradually began to give birth to a murderous aura!
The Great Qin soldiers at Hangu Pass felt incredibly nervous when they saw this.
The Qin army, which had been peaceful for many years, was caught off guard by the sudden battle.
Although the rebel army had been here for a long time, everyone knew that a war was only a matter of time.
However, there were still some soldiers who naively thought that the enemy might just retreat.
Many soldiers who had never been on the battlefield looked out from the parapet and were so nervous that their palms were sweating!
Zhao Chen frowned slightly and glanced at the soldiers on both sides of the city gate tower.
Seeing their performance, he suddenly felt a little unhappy.
He turned his head and asked the silent Yu Huatian.
"How long before they arrive?"
He felt that the original guards of Hangu Pass and the 20,000 men brought by Wang Ben weren't reliable.
Perhaps they could barely defend the city.
If they were unlucky, the city pass might be broken through by the alliance army of the six dynasties.
As for the 10,000 Tiger Leopard Cavalry under Zhao Chen's command, they were not used to defend the city!
Moreover, it was not Zhao Chen's character to hide in the city pass! Before Yu Huatian could reply, Zhao Chen ordered Wang Ben again, perhaps because he was annoyed by the soldiers of Great Qin.
"General Wang! You might be more experienced than me in defending the city, so hurry up and make arrangements for the defense of the city!”
Wang Ben looked at Yu Huatian with a questioning look, wondering who he was.
After hearing Zhao Chen's words, he felt slightly smug.
He was also relieved that Zhao Chen had given up his authority. He cupped his fists and said swiftly.
"Here!"
He lifted the cloak behind him and led the generals from Xianyang and Hangu Pass out of the city tower.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the originally full number of generals had gone.
The city gate tower suddenly became empty, leaving only Zhao Chen and his generals around.
Yu Huatian said after waiting for the others to leave.
"Tonight, General Chen Qingzhi and General Li Jing will arrive together, a total of twenty thousand soldiers!”
Zhao Chen's expression softened a little. Looking at the well-prepared enemy troops outside the city, his evaluation of Xiangyu dropped even more.
Shaking his head, he ordered Zhao Yun. "Go and reorganize the Tiger Leopard Cavalry…"
With a deep gaze, Zhao Chen said in a faint tone.
"I'll come out of seclusion and charge into the camp tonight!"
Zhao Yun's face immediately lit up as she cupped her fists and shouted.
"Here!"
Seeing Zhao Yun leave happily, her footsteps were hurried. It was obvious that she was eager to give it a try.
Li Cunxiao was extremely depressed, but who asked his men not to come?
However, he could not help but ask.
"Young Master?"
Zhao Chen glanced at him, feeling annoyed.
"Let's go together!"
Wang Ben was patrolling around the city gate, and as he gave out the orders, the generals behind him left one by one.
Wang Ben stopped at a spot on the city wall and shouted.
"Add a pot of boiling oil here!"
The Hangu Pass general trembled, and water instantly seeped out of his forehead as he hurriedly said.
"Here!"
At this moment, the sound of a horn came from outside the city. At the same time, a loud shout sounded.
"The first to ascend! Reward ten thousand gold!"
"Kill!"
