Ni Chu

Xiang Tong waved his spear and rushed straight towards the gate. After he overthrew a group of Qin soldiers and made a gap in the Qin army, the Chu army behind him immediately followed to fill the gap he made.

While Xiang Tong led the men to kill towards the gate tower, Xiang Yu and Long Qie in the east also stepped up their attack, and the Qin army on the city wall was trying their best to make the last resistance.

The Chu army was fighting to the sound, only to hear the sound of gongs under the city, and a group of people dressed as civilians rushed towards the city wall with tools such as hoes and forks, led by a general of the Qin army.

The general waved the dagger in his hand and shouted to the civilians: "Fathers, you must remember the lesson from Xiangyang. Xiang Yu is a devil. He will kill you all after he enters the city. Follow me!" , Drive Xiang Yu out of the city!"

A large group of civilians rushed towards the city wall howling under the fans of the general of the Qin army, but they didn't know that it was their act of helping the Qin army that brought disaster to the entire city.

Xiang Yu frowned, looked at the civilians rushing towards the top of the city like a tide, turned his head and shouted to another general beside him: "You take 1000 people to kill the city, and kill those with weapons Kill all the people!"

"Yes!" The general responded and led his troops to kill the city.

Although there were a large number of civilians rushing towards the city wall, they were untrained mobs after all. A thousand Chu troops rushed to the steps of the city wall, and first the archers shot a few rows of arrows at the civilians below the city wall.

Those civilians had no shields and nowhere to hide. The Chu army just shot a few rows of arrows, which caused great damage to them. Under the attack of bows and arrows, civilians with hoes and other tools fell down in pieces. .

After shooting these civilians, the general who led a thousand Chu troops waved at the Chu troops behind him and shouted loudly: "Brothers, they are just a mob. Come with me and kill them all!"

A thousand Chu soldiers shouted together and rushed down the city.At this time, the civilians under the city had also rushed down the stairs, and an almost one-sided battle started under the stairs above.

Every Chu army was like a fierce tiger coming out, and rushed towards the civilians under the city.And those civilians are like a group of goats with horns, wanting to resist but obviously lacking in strength. They resist tenaciously, but they still cannot compete with the well-trained and well-equipped Chu army. The army killed everything.

At this time, Xiang Tong had almost rushed down in front of the city gate. Seeing that Xiang Tong was charging towards the commander, the five Qin soldiers rushed towards him with their spears.

Xiang Tong sideways avoided Qin Jun's spear stabbing at him, and stabbed at one of the Qin Jun with the spear in one hand. The Qin Jun couldn't dodge in time and was pierced by him.Seeing that their comrades were killed, the five Qin soldiers on the side uttered an angry roar, and stabbed Xiang Tong with their spears again.

Xiang Tong didn't entangle with them, he swung his spear horizontally, put the four spears aside, and jumped onto the gate tower.

Before he could stand on his feet, he suddenly felt a pain in his lower abdomen. When he raised his head, he saw the guard of the Qin army was tightly sticking to his body, and the short sword in the guard's hand was deeply pierced into his abdomen. , the guard's eyes were wide open, his face was ashen, and he looked like he was about to die with Xiang Tong.

Because the distance between the two sides was too close, it was impossible for Xiang Tong to stab the guard with his gun. Regardless of the severe pain in his lower abdomen, he suddenly raised the spear in his hand, and hit the guard's head with the barrel of the spear desperately.

The gun barrel hit the guard's head, and the guard felt a dull and piercing pain in his head, but his face was still ashen, no matter how Xiang Tong hit his head, he would not let go of the grip holding the sword hilt. With his hand, he firmly held the dagger that had pierced Xiang Tong's lower abdomen inward and refused to pull it out.

The short sword was stuck in the lower abdomen, and the general of the Qin army held the hilt tightly and did not let go. Xiang Tong howled in pain, and passed the long spear to the guard's back with one hand, and pulled out the spear violently with the other hand After the gun head was pulled out, he held the gun head tightly and stabbed it at the back of the guard's neck. The guard let out a muffled groan and fell headfirst to the ground.

Xiang Tong pulled out the dagger stuck in his lower abdomen, ignored the blood bubbling from his lower abdomen, grabbed the guard's bun, and slashed at the guard's neck with the sword.

After cutting off the guard's head, Xiang Tong stood up staggeringly. He lifted the bloody head, stood on the gate tower, and shouted at Qin Jun who was fighting with the Chu army: "Your general has been executed! , why don’t you surrender quickly?”

After speaking, Xiang Tong's eyes darkened, and he fell straight backwards.Seeing that he fell down, the two Chu soldiers who were following him hurried forward to hold him.

Seeing that the main general was killed, the remaining fighting spirit of the Qin army finally collapsed. Many people dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their arms and became prisoners of the Chu army. Only a few people were still struggling to fight the Chu army. The Qin army who did not surrender was finally squeezed by the Chu army on a small piece of narrow city wall.

"Are you really not going to surrender?" Xiang Yu stood in front of these Qin soldiers with a halberd in his hand, and asked them with a very complicated expression on his face.

"We are all soldiers of Great Qin, how can we surrender to you barbarians from Chu?" A Qin army officer with a bloody face and dilapidated armor stood up. There was a gap, and the blood-stained short sword shouted at Xiang Yu: "If you want to fight, fight, why bother!"

Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded his head and said, "Okay, since you all want to die, I will fulfill you and let you die like a warrior."

After finishing speaking, he raised the blood-stained halberd high and shouted to the Chu army behind him: "Archers, get ready to send them on their way!"

A large group of Chu army archers rushed up after receiving the order. They squeezed to the front and set up their bows and arrows to aim at the surrounded Qin army.

"Brothers!" The officer of the Qin army who had answered Xiang Yu earlier shouted at the Qin army behind him: "Today we are going to die anyway, come up with me, and fight these barbarians from Chu!"

After he yelled, the Qin army huddled together shouted and rushed towards the Chu army.

Xiang Yu's face was solemn, and his eyes were full of respect for the Qin army for the first time. When the Qin army rushed over, he shouted at the Chu army's archers: "Shoot the arrow!"

Arrows as dense as swarming locusts flew towards Qin Jun following Xiang Yu's order, and the rushing Qin Jun fell to the ground with a howl, and almost everyone became a hedgehog covered in arrows before falling to the ground.

When these Qin troops were massacred by the Chu army, those Qin troops who had already surrendered squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands and peeked at Tongze who was shot to death by arrows. trembling.

The Qin army on the city wall was wiped out, and the civilians gathered under the city were naturally vulnerable. Soon after the Chu army rushed down, they had neither weapons nor morale. They just followed the Qin army to attack the Chu army out of passion. They were beaten to pieces, and they fled with their heads in their arms.

When several soldiers of the Chu army passed by Xiang Yu carrying the injured Xiang Tong, Xiang Yu took two steps forward and took Xiang Tong's hand, and said to Xiang Tong in his rare gentle voice: "Good brother, you Good job! Take care of your wounds and fight with me on the battlefield in the future."

Xiang Tong forced a smile on Xiang Yu, and said in an extremely weak voice, "General..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he tilted his head and passed out.Xiang Yu waved his hands to the soldiers who were carrying Xiang Tong, said a word of care, and turned around to look at the corpses of civilians in Chengyang City after fighting with the Chu army.

Liu Bang, who was leading the army to watch the battle from the rear, was overjoyed when he got the news that Xiang Yu had captured Chengyang, and quickly led the army towards Chengyang.

Before the army entered the city, the tens of thousands of Chu troops brought by Xiang Yu had already cleared the battlefield. In one corner of the city, the corpses of the Qin army and civilians were piled up, and the dead Chu troops were neatly arranged in the city. Both sides of the door entrance.

Liu Bang entered the city, jumped off his horse first, and bowed deeply to the corpses of those Chu soldiers who died in battle. They respect from the heart.

After entering the city, Liu Bang came to Xiang Yu who was standing on the city wall. Following Xiang Yu's eyes, what he saw were the corpses of civilians who were killed fighting the Chu army in the siege battle. With a pull, he said to Xiang Yu: "General Xiang, this time our army is attacking the city, and the people in the city are assisting the Qin army to resist our army. If you don't punish them a little, they may be imitated by future generations!"

Xiang Yu nodded approvingly, and sighed: "Yes, if Chengyang is not allowed to know how powerful our army is, I am afraid that no one will be able to conquer the city in the future. General Liu, I want to slaughter the city, what do you think? "

Liu Bang smiled slightly, bowed and clasped his fists to Xiang Yu, and said, "General Xiang is in charge of everything, and whenever the general sends him away, Bang will always respond first."

After listening to Liu Bang's words, Xiang Yu smiled wryly, and said to Liu Bang: "General Liu, you are said to be an honest old man, but I don't think so. If you reward the three armies and comfort the people, I'm afraid you won't refuse like this. This kind of thing will be cast aside by the people of the world, but you want to let me handle it."

When Xiang Yu said these words, Liu Bang's expression changed, but he didn't show any embarrassment. Instead, he clasped his fists and gave Xiang Yu a deep bow, and he didn't straighten up for a long time.

Xiang Yu's eyes were fixed on Liu Bang, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see Liu Bang's response. He suddenly raised his head and laughed, and said loudly: "I stand between heaven and earth, why should I be afraid of the saliva of people in the world?" ? Since General Liu pays attention to fame and integrity, I can’t say that this time I’m the only one who will be the villain!”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and shouted to the soldiers standing behind him: "Send the order, the army will be stationed in Chengyang for three days, and within three days, all the men over the age of 15 and under the age of 70 in the city will be killed! Soldiers have a three-day holiday. During this period, all items in the city can be taken at will!"
