Liu An lay on the ground with his back facing the sky, an armor-piercing arrow pierced through the Kai armor on his body, deeply embedded in his chest and abdomen, this ambitious young general of the Chu State, with endless regret and anger, fell on the cold long street.

The infantry did not immediately kill his own soldiers, but let them flee, and at the same time, brought the news that Liu An had died in battle to every corner of the city.

The Han army rushed to the Pengcheng General's Mansion and effortlessly controlled almost all the important officials in Pengcheng and the senior doctor Fan Zhuo, who came from Yingdu and was sitting on a chair with no one in front at the moment.

On the city wall, the officers on duty of the Chu army were hoarsely directing the soldiers on the city wall to prepare for defense, the soldiers added their crossbows as fast as they could, prepared the catapults, and the rows of soldiers pulled their bowstrings and aimed at the Han soldiers who were surging under the wall. For this officer on duty, who was not of high rank, the only consolation was that because Pengcheng had always been the front line, these defensive weapons were always complete on the city walls, or he could withstand the first wave of enemy attacks, and at that time, there would be higher-ranking generals rushing here.

Looking back at the city, the sound of explosions, screams, shouts, fires rose to the sky everywhere, and the whole thing was extremely chaotic, and the scene of the end was coming.

The sudden attack of the Han army was unexpectedly unthinkable for every Chu person.

"Ready to shoot!" The officer on duty roared, and by the light of the fire above and below the city, he could see that the incoming enemy, although fast, did not carry large siege equipment such as ladders and siege vehicles, which made him breathe a little.

Cui Chengxiu never thought that this time he would attack the city with siege weapons such as cloud ladders, and he would kill him from the city gate. The daredevils rode fast horses. Desperately rushing to the city gate, they were holding a bag of explosives in their arms, lying on the saddle of their horses, and they desperately smashed their horses and rushed forward.

Arrows rained down from the city walls, and from time to time a member of the death squad fell from his horse with an arrow, but no one looked at them, at this time. Speed was what these daredevils were looking for, and behind them, the Han cavalry was less than a stone's throw away, and farther away, the ciphered infantry was running wildly with their legs spread.

There was no formation, no sequence, Cui Chengxiu told his soldiers to run forward and run all the way to Pengcheng.

Straddle off the horse and fell to the ground with a wail. A large horse is always the easiest target for archers to shoot, and it is much more certain than a knight on a horse. The knight on the horse rolled on the ground in a series of turns. Skeleton crawled up, the cat bent forward and continued to rush forward, the shadow shaking, on his left and right sides. His comrades-in-arms overtook him at a faster speed on their horses and rushed to the swarthy gates.

An explosive bag was dropped at the city gate, and then another. In the blink of an eye, dozens of death squad cavalry threw all the explosive bags they were holding in the hole of the city gate, and then ran along the root of the city wall to both sides, this place was already a dead end for the archers.

The soldier who had lost his horse was holding the explosives bag in one hand, but with the other hand he picked up a torch that was still burning on the ground, the muscles on his face twitched, flashing with a hideous color, "Chu people, I am your ancestor." With a howl, people with torches and explosives rushed into the cave of the city gate.

An earth-shattering thunderclap sounded, the entire Pengcheng city wall seemed to be shaking, above the city tower, the officer of the Chu army who was directing the battle was shocked to jump up a few feet, and fell to the ground, and when he got up, he saw the frightened faces of the soldiers around him, many people were bleeding, and they were spinning in circles in place, and it seemed that they couldn't even distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

He roared loudly, but he couldn't hear his own voice, and when he reached for his ears, when he retracted his hand, it was covered with blood. He threw himself to the edge of the wall, poked his head out, and looked at the smoke-filled place not far from him, where the gate was. When the smoke cleared, he saw in despair that the galloping Han cavalry had passed through there without hindrance, and then a dense sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing resounded in the city.

The Han army has entered Pengcheng.

"Kill the enemy!" The officer burst into tears, he knew that it was over, at this moment the Chu soldiers participating in the defense on the city wall were less than one-fifth of the garrison, and most of the troops were still stationed in the barracks in the city at the moment, and there was no indication that the Han army would attack the Chu State during this time period, but all this really happened in front of his eyes. He screamed, even if he couldn't hear any of his own sounds, he carried his knife and rushed down the stairs of the upper city to the bottom of the city, trying to plug the gap in the city gate, and the soldiers on the city wall subconsciously rushed down with their generals.

The Han cavalry rushed into the city like a dragon, and the officer, who seemed to be a little out of his mind, brandished his saber and rushed straight at the galloping horse team. Not surprisingly, before his knife could be swung down, the strong impact of the war horse had already knocked it high and flew high, and with a snap, it fell far to the side, to the ground, and there was no more sound.

Above the city tower, a Chu soldier watched with a dull gaze as countless enemies poured into the city, he mechanically rang the alarm bell one by one, until a crossbow arrow flew and nailed to his chest, he dragged the rope, slipped along the wall, sat on the ground, and continued to shake the rope a few times with his hand spasmodic, and the alarm bell above the city tower whimpered a few times, and finally calmed down completely.

More than 20,000 soldiers of the 18th Army all entered the city, and they were faced with the Chu army that had no main general, no unified command, and was scattered in various military camps in the city.

Cui Chengxiu climbed to the top of the city tower, in his opinion, the battle of Pengcheng, by this time, has basically ended, lost the unified command, and even some Chu troops who did not even have a system have been doomed in the next fate.

"Commander Zhang, have you seen it, we fought back, we defeated the whole city, but I can't raise the flag of the new army, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He looked up at the top of the city, and rose high. The Yellow Dragon Banner and the Eighteenth Army's military flag, which were fluttering in the wind, whimpered, and in his arms, the broken military flag of the New First Army was lying quietly in his arms.

Carefully pulled out and unfolded, Choi Chengxiu raised the flag of the New First Army high.

"Commander, we're back." He looked up to the sky and roared. "Did you see that? Rest in peace under the Nine Springs! ”

Pengcheng, the highest place in the city, became Cui Chengxiu's temporary command post. Here, he can watch the battle of the entire city, one by one the orders flow out of here, under his deployment, a group of troops rushed to all parts of the city where the battle was fierce, a bright red fireworks message rose into the sky from all places, and each firework rose into the sky, each firework in the air, representing the end of a local battle.

The organization has been lost, and there is no coordination and command of the commander-in-chief. No matter how strong the army is, it can only fight alone, and if it does not cooperate with each other, even the tiger will be devoured by the wolves, not to mention. Now the Chu army in Pengcheng is facing the eighteenth army, which was adapted from the former new army as the main body, like a tiger, with the same hatred of the enemy, and vows to be ashamed.

Gao Chengdong, Dong Zhuang. Xie Dong, Mao Afu, these former generals of the New First Army. At this moment, just like the tiger coming down the mountain, personally leading the army to fight on the front line of the battle, this is a battle that makes them ashamed, and it is also a battle that allows them to untie their hearts.

On the horizon, when the sun that had just revealed half of his face had just shot out of his first rays of sunlight shining on Pengcheng, the infantry stepped into the city tower with a crisp sound, and at this time, Cui Chengxiu was on the map, smearing the last stronghold of the Chu army's stubborn resistance with a cross, the main battle in the city has ended, and the cavalry has begun to go out of the city to pursue the fleeing Chu army, and in the city, the rest is the hidden enemy, which is no longer needed to be managed by him, the commander.

"Captain Bu, I'm so sorry!" Cui Chengxiu looked at the infantry and gave a military salute, "Let your marriage become like this, we owe you." ”

The infantry shook his head and dragged a chair to sit down with some fatigue, "The battle should be over, right?" ”

"Yes, the main battle is over." Cui Chengxiu poured a glass of water and handed it to the infantry, "Where are you losing a lot?" ”

"They are all people from the special brigade, these people are born to do this business, how much loss can they have in the face of a leaderless enemy army?" Infantry Road. "Everything is within an acceptable range, Fan Zhuo and all the important officials in Pengcheng are now detained by me in the garrison general's mansion, now where can you go to accept them."

"Okay, General Bu, what are you going to do next? I think it's time for you to go see that princess Soyu! Cui Chengxiu said cautiously.

"At this time, I don't know how to face her!" The infantry rubbed his temples, "I need to be quiet, and she, she's afraid she doesn't want to see me now." ”

"It's really something that can't be helped." Cui Chengxiu sighed lightly. "Still, let's go check it out, or maybe what she wants to see most now is your appearance!"

The infantry shook his head, "You go, I want to be quiet." ”

Cui Chengxiu stopped talking, picked up the helmet on the table, and strode out.

Pengcheng garrisoned the General's Mansion, Fan Zhuo saw Cui Chengxiu who was striding over, after the panic, he has now calmed down, in the chaos of the army, they did not die, now that the Han army has taken Pengcheng, then he, at least him, will not die.

"General Cui, the Han has no faith and no righteousness, and he fights without declaring it, which is extremely shameful." Looking at Cui Chengxiu who came in, he roared loudly.

Cui Chengxiu laughed, "Doctor Fan, some time ago, 200,000 Chu troops attacked the Qin State, did you ever know the Qin people?" ”

Fan Zhuo was stunned for a while, and only after a while did he reflect, and when he was about to refute, Cui Chengxiu spoke again.

"By the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly! Chu State, if you don't think of this, who can blame you, Doctor Fan, to tell you the truth, hundreds of thousands of Han troops have launched a full-scale attack on Chu State. Come! Give the edict of our Han to Dr. Fan. ”

An officer walked up to Fan Zhuo with an edict in his hand and handed it to him.

"Doctor Fan, this is our Han Dynasty's edict to declare war on the Chu State, you take him and return to Yingdu to me, I think soon, we can meet again under the city of Yingdu, hahaha!" Choi Chengxiu burst out laughing. (To be continued.) )
