I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 61

Five days later, outside Puyang City.

This place is peaceful, except for the tightly closed city gates, it doesn't look like they have experienced blood and fire wars at all.

When the [-] Chu troops led by Chen Luo arrived in the outskirts, a school lieutenant hurried down from the city wall and ordered his men to open the city gate and immediately clear the roadblocks set up, and then led the guards to greet them with smiles.

Seeing the army began to pour into the city in an orderly manner, Chen Luo suddenly sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect it to be so easy. When I set off from Pengcheng ten days ago, why did I feel that there would be a big battle in Puyang? I can only say that thanks to Brother Yu's bravery, the threat was wiped out."

After proposing the idea of ​​leading the cavalry to raid Puyang, Xiang Yu immediately took action, led more than a thousand elites, two horses and one man, and ran for hundreds of miles.

This is to take advantage of the maneuverability of the cavalry, plus the fact that the opponent does not know that the Chu army has crossed Jishui and defeated the ambush, so they have the intelligence advantage brought about by the information difference.

Therefore, when the defense of the Qin army in Puyang was the lowest, it gave them a fatal blow.

From Chen Luo's point of view, Xiang Yu's operation has the taste of the prototype of the "blitzkrieg" of later generations.

"It's true, my cousin is mighty and incomparable, but Chen Zuoyin's strategy also played a key role in stabilizing Puyang." Xiang Sheng smiled, not stingy with his praise.

He turned his gaze to both sides of the road.

Most of the soldiers in sight are not Chu people, but the Qin army originally stationed here.

And the identity of this group of original Qin soldiers changed so quickly, it was mainly because Chen Luo proposed a strategy at the beginning.

He asked Xiang Yu to take the general of the Qin army who surrendered and [-] soldiers in the rushing team of more than a thousand people.

This implicit move is indeed fruitful.

According to the news that Xiang Yu captured the city and the news came back one after another in the past two days, the reason why Puyang City is so stable is not unrelated to the fact that the surrendered Qin army took the initiative to join in and try their best to maintain order.

After rushing into the city, the Chu army led by Xiang Yu was like a broken bamboo. The Qin army in the city only knew that the city was broken, but they couldn't figure out how many people from the Chu army who entered the city entered.

And the appearance of those surrendered pawns and generals is a trick to attack the heart!

The generals of the Qin army who surrendered were known to most of the Qin army guarding the city, and the randomly selected soldiers were chosen so that every Puyang city guard soldier could find someone they knew and know that the Qin army by the Jishui River had been destroyed.

Then Xiang Yu followed Professor Chen Luo's heart-breaking remarks, and asked [-] soldiers of the Qin army to shout "disarm but not kill", "Chu army gives preferential treatment to soldiers", "surrender now, and you can return to Guanzhong to divide the land in the future".

As a result, the fighting spirit of most of the city guards collapsed instantly.

After all, the most defended city walls were crossed by the Chu army. If they continue to resist, they may only die. If they choose to surrender, at least there is an example of survival in front of them. It is even said that if the "return to Guanzhong and divide the land" is really realized.

It is better to live than to die. This is what most people think in their hearts, and it has not changed since ancient times.

So without much effort, Xiang Yu took Puyang City into his hands.

After occupying the city, except for killing the Qin soldiers who were desperately resisting, he did not cause more killings.

However, Xiang Yu temporarily imprisoned the Qin generals above the commander in chief in the city.

This group of people has a lot of influence in the army. If they want to cause trouble, they can incite hundreds or even thousands of Qin troops to surrender and cause chaos, causing Puyang, which was originally stable, to fall into turmoil again.

The Chu army that accompanied Xiang Yu into the city was only more than a thousand people, and he really didn't dare to bet on whether the other party would be willing to stay in peace.

Not killing these Qin generals can already be regarded as a kindness to them.

As for the command and management of the Qin army in the city, Xiang Yu temporarily handed it over to the general of the Qin army, regardless of his combat ability, at least in terms of integrating the soldiers of the Qin army, this person is professional.

What's more, as a model of surrender and immortality, he has walked more than half a circle in the city, and almost all the Qin soldiers who defended the city saw him talking and laughing standing beside Xiang Yu.

Even if he still has the heart to lead the Qin soldiers to do things, is it possible that some soldiers will believe him?

Who knows if you are trying to test me, and then sold me to Chu Jun for a change of future.

This was probably the truest thought of the soldiers of the Qin army at that time.

It takes only an instant to break trust, but it takes time to build trust.

By the time the soldiers in the city chose to believe him, the Chu army had already come to take over the city.

After all, after receiving the news that Xiang Yu had captured Puyang, Chen Luo sent [-] Chu troops to support him urgently, fearing that there would be too few soldiers around Xiang Yu and something would happen.

As for myself, I escorted the baggage and more than ten thousand soldiers of the Qin army in Jishui, and marched at a normal and slow speed until today.

Not long after the army entered the city, Xiang Yu came riding a tall black horse without haste, and the marching soldiers took the initiative to make way for one another.

He nodded to the surrounding soldiers, which caused bursts of cheers.

After the Battle of Jishui, the soldiers of this army began to admire Xiang Yu very much, and when he personally led more than a thousand horses to capture Puyang, his prestige reached its peak.

Different from the expectations of those generals who lead the army, ordinary soldiers only hope to meet a commander who can lead him to victory and survive.

It just so happened that Xiang Yu's two recent wars perfectly met their needs.

Seeing Xiang Yu's smiling face, Chen Luo joked, "Brother Yu, you are in good spirits for a happy event. You must have won a big victory, and you must feel extremely at ease."

Xiang Yu laughed and nodded in recognition: "Capturing a large city with 300 defenders, but losing less than a hundred people, such a record is unprecedented. As for whether future generations can do it, I dare to say with confidence that it will be impossible within [-] years.

What's more, I still have an unexpected joy, have you seen the steed I am riding now?Its coat color is gray and black, and its legs are excellent. I never thought that there could be such a good horse in the Central Plains. According to its characteristics, I will call it 'Wuzhi'. What do you think? "

Ever since he and Chen Luo named Mo Linji last time, Xiang Yu has become addicted to naming his beloved.

For example, he called his own armor "Chijia", and now he named the mount he found "Wuzhi".

"Wuzhen is a good name, it fits it well..." Chen Luo looked at it.

This black-tailed horse is a rare thousand-mile horse, just like the record in the "Xiangma Jing" that "long cathay falls eyes, hoofs are like tired koji".

So he congratulated Xiang Yu and congratulated him on finding his favorite mount.

After chatting for a while, the two followed the team to the former Puyang Qunshou Mansion. Xiang Yu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "By the way, Jiang Ning. I have another piece of good news here. You should be excited when you hear it."
