Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 319 Entering Xianyang (9)

"The general is the chief general, and this matter needs to be decided by the general! The last general dare not speak out!" Zhong Li Modang said, cupping his hands.

"General Zhongli, if you have an idea, you can say it. This general is not someone who is unreasonable! Besides, my lord asked the general to cooperate with this general in this night attack. It must be the general's superiority. General, don't hide your clumsiness! "Pu Wu is a rough man, seeing Zhong Limo evade, so he said bluntly.

In fact, Pu Wu was very excited when he received the order to attack at night.However, Xiang Yu also assigned him a deputy, and said that if the night attack is to be carried out, the two of them must agree.

"So, I will try to say something!" Seeing this, Zhong Limei had no choice but to agree, and then said: "In the opinion of the general, Tongguan is not yet ready for attack, so we have to wait!"

"Why?" Pu Wu's eyes lit up when he heard Zhong Limei's words, and he asked in surprise.

"Not long after it got dark, the soldiers of the Qin army above Tongguan were not yet very sleepy. If they attack now, they will inevitably encounter fierce resistance from the Qin army that is not yet sleepy, and the Qin people above Tongguan will be on guard next time." What's more! I can repair it now, and it won't be too late to attack in the middle of the night! According to the sentry, the Qin army will be exhausted at that time, and our army will be able to make great achievements in attacking the city!" Zhong Limei didn't hide anything, there was Say what.

Pu Wu heard Zhongli Mo's words, and began to feel that Xiang Yu's decision to send Zhong Limo as his deputy was the right decision.After the sentry reported back, Pu Wu wanted to immediately raise his troops to attack Tongguan, catching the enemy by surprise.Fortunately, because of the unhappiness in his heart, he became obsessed with the examination and teaching, otherwise if he attacked Tongguan, he would really return without success.

"General Zhongli is the one who is appreciated by the lord!" Pu Wu praised Zhongli very admiringly, and then said to the orderly soldiers at the side: "Order the whole army, repair it for now!"

"Here!" The messenger hurriedly cupped his hands, and then took the general order to pass it on to all the ministries.

After the messenger left, Pu Wu started talking with Zhong Limei.

After talking, Pu Wu knew that Zhongli Mo and himself were generally generals from the head of Guizhou.Previously, what Pu Wu felt was that Xiang Yu had arranged for a nobleman from the state of Chu to share the merits. Now that he knew that Zhong Limei was just like him and because Zhong Limei avoided a defeat, Pu Wu's attitude towards Zhongli Mei began to change.

child time.

Both the patrolling sergeant and the on-duty sergeant above Tongguan were more sleepy.Many soldiers on duty squatted by the wall and squinted up, but the patrolling soldiers saw them and did not arrest them.

Looking at the full moon in the sky, Zhongli Mo stood up and walked towards Pu Wu and said, "General, it's time to attack!"

Pu Wu, who was a little drowsy at first, was shocked when he heard this, and quickly ordered: "Command all the ministries! Gather quickly and prepare to attack the city!"

"Here!" Zhong Limei and other generals and captains who were waiting beside Pu Wu handed over their hands one after another, and then went to lead his subordinates.

Just when the Qin army above Tongguan was dizzy, Zhong Limei quietly approached Tongguan with five hundred soldiers according to the result of his discussion with Pu Wu.

The hook hook was easily hooked to a wall pile, and Zhong Limei led dozens of soldiers to climb the wall of Tongguan Pass.

After climbing to the top of the pass wall and killing a few soldiers of the Qin army very easily, Zhongli Mo took control of a small part of the city wall.Using a torch to make a signal, Pu Wu ordered the army to attack the city.

Thirty thousand Chu troops began to attack Tongguan, and the Qin army on the pass wall was caught off guard.

While guarding the already controlled city wall, Zhongli Mo led his soldiers to expand the area of ​​control.

At this moment, in the city gate tower, Dong Qu, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and Xi Zhu, who was squinting on the table, were all woken up by the sudden sound of drums.

They got up and put on their clothes, and went to the city wall to command the battle with their weapons.

On the Tongguan wall, the number of Chu troops continued to increase.After resting, the Chu army quickly gained the upper hand, and Zhongli Mo also led five hundred soldiers to the gate tower.

Under the city, Pu Wu commanded the army to constantly attack the city gate.

At the same time, Yinglin in the government office of Tongguan also received news that the Chu army was attacking the city.

Although it was a bit of a surprise, Yinglin still calmly ordered troops to reinforce the city gate, and then prepared to personally go into battle and lead the army to repel the invading enemies.

When the Chu army camped, Xiang Yu also ordered Yingbu, Tian Heng and others to lead troops to reinforce the besieging Chu army immediately after receiving the news.

Ying Bu and Tian Heng, who had been ambushing five miles away from Tongguan for a long time, suddenly appeared with 8 horses, putting pressure on the Qin army above Tongguan.

When Zhong Limei rushed towards the gate tower, he met Dong Qu who came with his own soldiers, and the two fought each other for several rounds.Dong Qu was beheaded by Zhongli Mo, and the surrounding Dong Qu's soldiers were filled with righteous indignation when they saw that the general was killed, and rushed towards Zhong Limo.

After Yingbu and Tianheng's fresh troops joined, the city gate was quickly breached with a bang.

Yingbu, Tian Heng and others led their troops to rush forward, and more than [-] people rushed in.

Pu Wu hurriedly ordered people to go to the camp to report to Xiang Yu, and then led his troops into Tongguan.

On the city wall, Xizhu learned that his friend Dong Qu had been killed by Zhong Limo, so he led his soldiers to look for Zhongli Mo to avenge Dong Qu.But when he learned that the city gate had been breached, Xi Zhu had no choice but to give up his plan to find Zhong Limei to avenge his friend and led his troops down the city wall to prevent the Kwantung Allied Forces from entering the city.

Although under the leadership of Yinglin and Xizhu, nearly [-] Qin troops fought bravely, but the defeat was certain. The Qin army could not prevent the Kwantung coalition forces from entering Tongguan.

In the coalition camp, Xiang Yu was overjoyed after receiving Pu Wu's report.

On the side, Long Qi, Zhang Liang and other civil and military officials of Chu State were also overjoyed, and congratulated Xiang Yu one after another.

"Taking Tongguan is not far from taking Xianyang! My lord, it's time to think about future arrangements!" Just as everyone was delighted, Fan Zeng, who came secretly, said aloud.

Fan Zeng's words made everyone come out of a state of joy, and looked at Fan Zeng very puzzled.

"When the princes met in the alliance, there was a proposal that the first to enter the pass would be the king! The Chu army entered the pass first under the leadership of the lord, and a throne is essential. But when the alliance was held, the princes all agreed and did not clarify the fiefdom of the king of Guanzhong. Where are you!" Seeing this, Fan Zeng straightened up and said formally. "Now Xianyang is at your fingertips, and the great cause of defeating Qin is about to succeed. It's time for the lord to think about himself!"

"If you want to choose alone, it must be that all the counties and counties captured by Gu are the fiefdoms of Gu! However, Gu knows that this is impossible! Yafu, Zifang and all the lovers may wish to work together and tell Gu that he can fight for it. How many fiefs!" Xiang Yu responded domineeringly when he heard the words, but he felt a little helpless in his final words.
