Chapter 17: Kill the defenders and advance to Moling
At this time, a small soldier next to him came over and whispered to Li Er: "My lord, you see in the distance, it seems that a large group of people are coming in our direction. ”
Li Er's eyes narrowed slightly, his brows were tightly locked, he didn't speak, just stared at the cloud of smoke and dust in the distance that was getting bigger and bigger, Li Er didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said to the little soldiers beside him: "Go and call the general, it seems that a large number of soldiers and horses are coming in our direction!"
Li Er was still in place, staring intently into the distance.
"King!The front is the Moling City, and now the Moling City must buy a body card if you want to enter the city, or buy it according to the capitation, if you don't buy a body card, you won't be allowed to enter the city, we have so many people, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money!"
As soon as Lu Peng, who was on the side, heard this, his temperament came up, and he scolded: "Bullshit! Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, our king can go wherever he wants in the Chu State, and he still needs to pay money to others, isn't that a joke!"
Cui Tiejun reacted at this time, he was no longer a bandit, and the person next to him was even more noble, and he was a first-class identity in the territory of Chu State, and apologized again and again: "Your lord, you look at my mouth, you just don't know anything! General Lu is right, you don't need to pay money wherever you go, your king." ”
As he spoke, the city gate appeared in front of him, and at this time the city gate was closed, and a group of soldiers was waiting outside the city.
Seeing this scene, Xiang Yu's face not only darkened.
I saw a general wearing black fish scale armor standing out of the city gate, shouting to the city tower: "Who is under the city, why did they invade my Moling, I don't know that my Moling soldiers are strong and strong, and you can turn them into ashes in an instant!"
"Bold! Who are you to dare to speak to the king like this, do you know that at this time, the king of my Great Chu Kingdom, the overlord of Western Chu, is also! If you talk like this, then don't you do it?"
The general was taken aback when he heard this, during this period of time, the news of King Xiang's defeat and mistaken general has spread throughout the land of Jiangdong, and now the people of Jiangdong are panicking, and many wealthy families are playing their own small calculations, some plan to divide one side and establish themselves as kings, and some plan to take refuge in Liu Bang to see if they can get a dragon merit.
But just two days ago, news came from southern Xinjiang, saying that Xiang Yu did not die on the edge of the Wujiang River, but fled to southern Xinjiang.
This caused an uproar in the land of Jiangdong, the Nanban is vicious, as we all know, Xiang Yu was actually defeated, and he was able to defeat the Nanban, which can be said to be almost impossible, plus this is just a rumor, many people don't believe it. It's just that King Xiang has been killed in southern Xinjiang.
Originally, Wang Shouzhong didn't believe it, but looking at the strong soldiers and horses under the city, he actually had a ridiculous feeling in his heart at this time: Could it be that what they said was true? Xiang Yu really defeated the Southern Barbarians, and at this time in front of him, Xiang Yu's Heavenly Mandate Divine Army?
Wang Shouzhong gritted his teeth and shouted at Xiang Yu: "You say that you are the king is the king, do you have evidence to prove that you are the king?"
"You!" Lu Peng was furious: "Why does the king have to prove that you, a young general, have not opened the city gate!"
Seeing this, Wang Shouzhong was sure that the person under the city was probably the current King of Chu, but in the blink of an eye, Wang Shouzhong actually shouted loudly to the city: "You thief, let you take out the evidence and don't take it, it is a waste of the general's time, presumably the thief pretending to be the name of the king, it is really bold, don't fade quickly, otherwise an arrow will kill you!"
Lin Fu was furious, and sprayed angrily at the city wall: "You chaotic ministers and thieves, you dare to say that the king is a fake, why don't you get down quickly and apologize for your crimes, otherwise a certain family will make you die without a place to be buried!"
At this time, Xiang Yu saw a little way, it seems that this king was afraid that he would lose power after entering the city, so he pretended that he and the others were not Xiang Wang, so he could justifiably drive himself and others away, and he continued to control the city defense!
Xiang Yu's murderous heart suddenly rose, he didn't expect to be treated like this on his own territory, that Wang Zizhong was simply consumed by the desire for profit, and he was willing to take this risk for his own selfish desires.
Xiang Yu made a gesture towards Lu Peng, and Lu Peng came over with his ear, at this time Wang Zizhong and Lin Fu were scolding each other, and the two seemed to be competing.
Xiang Yu whispered to Lu Peng and said, "Shoot this straight thief! You must move quickly! You can't drag mud and water!"
"Don't worry," Lu Peng replied.
Xiang Yu straightened up, slightly pinched the horse's belly, the war horse was in pain, and took a step forward, this step, the eyes of the frontier king Zizhong attracted Xiang Yu's body, and at the same time, Xiang Yu shouted: "It's now!"
Sou!
A sharp arrow flew towards Wang Zizhong, Wang Zizhong only cared about the movements of Xiang Yu and Lin Fu, and he couldn't dodge.
"Ahh
After a miserable wail, Wang Zizhong, who was hit by an arrow in his head, fell from the city tower.
With a snap, the corpse fell in front of the soldier who was confronting Xiang Yu, and it changed into a puddle of flesh. The soldiers on the city tower and under the city had already heard Xiang Yu and them report to their homes. Looking at Xiang Yu's obvious armor and strict military discipline, they still didn't understand that this was the regular army led by Xiang Yu, and they didn't think that Wang Zizhong would pretend to be thieves. Now that they have ended up like this, several people have long been in two wars and can't help themselves.
Li Er is usually a clever person, but at this moment, he has understood the general trend, and with a bang, the blade in his hand fell to the ground.
"King Mingjian, we are poor soldiers, we are all blinded by this surnamed Wang, otherwise we will not face the king with swords, the villain should die! The villain should die!" said him, and kowtowed.
Seeing this, several other people also did the same, also threw away their blades, and kowtowed to Xiang Yu: "The king spares his life!, we are just ordinary soldiers, and we have no intention of rebellion, all of them are surnamed Wang, not to mention it in the fish and meat township on weekdays, but there is still a disobedience to the king, it is really damned, damned." ”
"Okay!" Xiang Yu didn't have time to watch these people perform: "Get up, those who don't know are not guilty, I don't blame you, since the first evil has been ambushed, I will no longer pursue you." Open the gates!"
"Thank you, King, thank you, King!"
Li Er shouted towards the city tower: "Why don't you hurry up and open the city gate to the king!"
At this time, all the soldiers on the city tower were also frightened, and when they heard Li Er's words, they woke up like a dream.
The gates of the city opened slowly, and the gates of this era were heavy and difficult to open and close, so it took a long time to open the gates.
