Ni Chu

Chapter 57

"General Liu, do you have a good strategy to attack Chengyang?" The young general riding a black horse looked at Chengyang, who was vaguely silhouetted, and asked the man in armor who was around fifty years old beside him.

The fifty-year-old man stroked his gray beard on his chin, smiled slightly, nodded to the young general and said, "General Xiang asked about a good plan to destroy the city, but there is really no good plan for the state. Presumably the general should have a plan, but if the general drives him, the state will Go forward with all your strength!"

This Pentecostal man is none other than Liu Bang who killed the White Snake Uprising in Pei County.He originally led the army to station in Fengxiang. A few days ago, Xiang Liang ordered someone to convey to him the order to join forces with Xiang Yu to march westward, so he left Fengxiang and embarked on the road to the west.

The one riding the black horse was naturally Xiang Yu. Seeing that Liu Bang didn't say what he planned, he raised his head and laughed, raised his finger and nodded at Liu Bang and said, "General Liu, you! You are really scheming! Well, since you don't say anything plan, then I will tell my plan.”

While talking, Xiang Yu pointed at Chengyang and said: "Chengyang's city wall is low and there are not many defenders. If our army besieges it, it will only take a few days to force the defenders to surrender. It's just that our army has a large number of troops. The consumption of food and grass is quite large, and the defenders in the city can’t consume it, so we can’t. I mean, I will lead 1 people to launch a strong attack on the city, and the whole army will be stationed in Chengyang before dark!”

"1 people?" Liu Bang frowned, and said with some concern: "General Xiang, since ancient times, in any siege battle, the attacking side must have at least five times the strength of the defending side to be sure of success. You only need one Thousands of soldiers and horses may not be enough, if we lead 2 troops to launch a strong attack on Chengyang, the chances of winning may be better."

Xiang Yu shook his head with a smile, and said: "I think back then when my uncle and I raised troops from Kuaiji, I alone beheaded more than a hundred guards of the county guard's mansion and Yin Tong, how heroic it was. Now, if it is for a small Chengyang, let Xiang Yu lead 2 people to attack the [-] Qin army. I am afraid I will be ridiculed by the world. I have made up my mind. I ask General Liu to be the rear army for me. I will lead [-] soldiers and horses to attack Chengyang. , Today the willow shoots are on the moon, and the army is stationed in the city!"

After finishing speaking, Xiang Yu shook the reins of the horse, lightly clamped his legs against the horse's belly, and rushed the horse down the hillside.

Looking at Xiang Yu's back, Liu Bang let out a long breath, and couldn't help but praise: "Xiang Yu is a true hero!"

"Xiang Tong, hurry up and gather [-] soldiers and horses, go and attack the city with me!" After descending the hill, Xiang Yu rushed into the formation, reined in his horse and shouted to a general who was squatting on the ground and was doing something.

Who would it be if it wasn't Xiang Tong who was thrown into the Yellow River by Zhao Tong's order that day?

Zhao Tong threw him and Xiang Qing into the Yellow River. The two woke up shortly after being rescued by Mo Feng. Later, they found a ferry and crossed the Yellow River to search for the Chu Army. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, who were advancing, stayed behind and set off with Xiang Yu.

Hearing Xiang Yu's call, Xiang Tong quickly stood up, answered, and summoned troops to go.

Xiang Yu was about to rein in his horse and follow Xiang Tong to prepare his troops when a horse rushed towards him like lightning.He was taken aback, and quickly looked at the charging horse, only to see a handsome young general straddling the horse, constantly raising his whip to urge the horse to charge towards him.

"Woo!" When he was about to rush to Xiang Yu, the young general reined in his horse to stop the galloping horse, and glared at Xiang Yu with his willow eyebrows upside down: "Brother, why didn't you take me with you when you attacked Chengyang?"

"Take you?" Xiang Yu sized up the young general from head to toe, curled his lips and said, "Stay in the camp obediently, take care of your sister-in-law for me, and leave the rest alone!"

After hearing Xiang Yu's words, the young general's pretty face immediately frowned. The angry expression on his face, which was originally full of willow eyebrows, suddenly turned into a sad face. He was quite talented as an actor, and he pouted at Xiang Yu. Said: "No, big brother, you are my dearest big brother, let me go to fight Chengyang with you!"

"Don't do this with me!" Xiang Yu waved his hand and shouted to the young general: "Uncle is only one of your daughters, if you have any troubles, how will I see my uncle in the future. Xiang Qing, listen to me, You have to listen to me here, if you are disobedient, be careful that I will let the sergeant beat you!"

"You dare!" Hearing that Xiang Yu was going to hit her, Xiang Qing became angry immediately. She stared at Xiang Yu with her big eyes, and shouted at Xiang Yu: "Father has never hit me before. If you dare to hit me, see if I don't follow you!" Father sue!"

"Would you like to sue or not!" Xiang Yu shrugged his nose, and shouted to the several military officers who gathered around to watch the fun: "Show me Xiang Qing, if she dares to go out of the camp without permission, I'll ask you guys." !"

The few officers responded nonchalantly and glanced at each other. Everyone had a look of bitterness after drinking two catties of yellow lotus water. Everyone in the army didn't know that Xiang Qing was used to being domineering on weekdays. Apart from Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, there was probably no third person who could control her.Letting them look at Xiang Qing is really embarrassing for them.

"General Xiang Qing, the little ones are helpless, you still feel sorry for us, feel sorry for the little ones, listen to General Xiang, and go back to the tent!" Several officers who received Xiang Yu's order put Xiang Qing together with bitter faces. They led the horses around, and although they were begging, everyone knew that no matter whether Xiang Qing was willing or unwilling, he would never have the chance to leave their sight.

Seeing that Xiang Qing was entangled by several officers, Xiang Yu smiled triumphantly, and said to a soldier, "Go and call me Long Qie. I want him to be the vanguard for me in this attack!"

"Yes!" The soldier responded and turned around and ran away.

Not long after, Xiang Tong had prepared [-] soldiers and marched in line to wait for Xiang Yu's order.Long Qie had also arrived at Xiang Yu's side, following behind him to inspect the army preparing to attack the city.As for Xiang Qing, he was taken back to the tent by those officers, who threw things on the table and lost his temper.

Xiang Yu led Long Qie on horseback and circled twice in front of the [-] Chu troops that had just assembled. All the Chu troops turned their attention to Xiang Yu and Long Qie who were walking slowly in front of them on horseback.

There were many officers and soldiers who were not selected by Xiang Tong, and those who were not selected looked enviously at the [-] troops lined up in the barracks open area, waiting for Xiang Yu to give the order to attack the city.

"Soldiers!" After turning around twice, Xiang Yu reined in his horse and shouted to the 1 people: "In front of you is a city blocking our way to the west. There are only [-] defenders in the city, but this The [-] defenders are uttering big words, wanting to trap our Da Chu army to death outside Chengyang City, don’t you think this is a great shame and humiliation?”

"Yes! Yes!" The [-] Chu soldiers were filled with righteous indignation when they heard that the Chengyang defenders were going to trap them to death outside the city. Under the beating of their weapons, the ground trembled like a sea tide; while the Chu soldiers with bows and arrows raised their fists high and shouted loudly; those infantrymen with shields and daggers drew out their daggers , kept beating the shield with the sword, and shouted loudly: "Get Qin Gou out of the city!"

After the 1 people roared for a while, Xiang Yu raised his hand and pressed a few times towards them. The noisy team suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Xiang Yu, who stood in front of them with a stern face like a god.

Xiang Yu saw that the 1 people had calmed down again, and then said to them: "You have been in the army for a while, and we have also attacked the city and fought bloody battles with the Qin army. To me, each of you is our big brother." Chu's pride! They are all brave men who stand up for Da Chu!"

Having said that, he paused for a while, and his eyes swept around the team of 1 people.Every Chu army officer and soldier in the team felt that Xiang Yu's gaze seemed to linger on his face for a moment. Everyone held their breath and listened to Xiang Yu's speech quietly.

"You should know that in order to attack the city, the attacking side should have five times more troops than the defending side to break the city." Xiang Yu took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, and continued: " But today I want to break this myth, I want to attack Chengyang with only twice the force, and I must take Chengyang before the willow shoots on the moon! Do you have confidence?"

"Yes! Yes!" The [-] Chu troops immediately became noisy again, with bloodthirsty excitement written all over their faces.

"To say that Chengyang is a city is actually exalting them!" When the 1 people calmed down again, Xiang Yu pointed to the distant city wall of Chengyang and said, "Look at their low city walls, and think about the city's low walls." Those old, weak and remnants who have no combat power! They are just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered! What are we? We are wolves! We are tigers! Eater!"

When Xiang Yu said this, the [-] Chu soldiers who were ready to go and the Chu soldiers who were watching from the side laughed loudly.

"Laughing? What are you laughing at?" Xiang Yu looked at the laughing Chu Jun with a serious expression, and the whole army fell silent again. He raised the halberd in his hand and pointed at Chengyang, and shouted loudly: "This way Is the city worth five times our force to attack?"

"It's not worth it!" The Chu army roared like a tsunami again, and their morale was raised to the extreme.

"Kill! Follow me into Chengyang!" Xiang Yu let out a roar, and rode his horse towards Chengyang.

Long Qie followed closely behind, and Xiang Tong also got on his horse and followed Xiang Yu towards Chengyang.The 1 Chu troops followed behind them with neat steps, and the ground made a loud noise under the trampling of these [-] people.

Ten thousand Chu troops marched towards Chengyang under the leadership of Xiang Yu, while the defenders on the top of Chengyang tremblingly looked at the Chu army that was getting closer and closer in the distance.
