Seventy-eight Riding alone to storm the city
Xiang Yu did not answer Yu Ziqi's question, but swept his gaze to Baili Susu, who had a solemn face, and asked, "Miss Susu, do you dare to follow me to the city to call the door?" ”
After a pause, he emphasized: "It's just you and me!" ”
Baili Susu looked at Xiang Yu, and his eyes became gentle: "General Xiang is here to save our Baili family, even you are not afraid, how can I be afraid?" ”
Ji Bu, Zhong Liwu, and Yu Ziqi showed puzzled looks, and asked almost in unison: "Just the two of you, this is too dangerous, right?" So what do we need to do? ”
Xiang Yu pointed to the avenue outside the woods and instructed Yu Ziqi: "You can lead the three hundred brothers to cut down the branches now, tie them all to the horsetails, and when there is a killing sound in the city, they will gallop back and forth outside, raising dust." ”
"Got it!"
Yu Ziqi agreed, led 300 soldiers to start cutting down branches on the spot, and then tied them to the tail of the horse to make a suspicious plan.
Xiang Yu said to Ji Bu and Zhong Lifu again: "After Miss Su and I opened the city gate by fraud, the two of you led the other brothers to rush into the city, and after finding Mr. Baili and his family, I will open the way in front, and you two will be responsible for breaking the back!" ”
Seeing that Xiang Yu was full of ambition and dispatched troops calmly, Zhong Liwu and the others' doubts were immediately dispelled, and they all clenched their fists and received orders: "We will obey Brother Xiang's orders!" ”
After the arrangement was completed, Xiang Yu rode forward with a halberd in his hand, and Baili Su Su whipped and then went out of the woods and went straight to the south gate of Pinglu almost at the same time.
The sound of horses' hooves soon attracted the attention of the defenders on the city wall, and they all bent their bows and arrows to shoot, shouting in unison: "Whoever is coming, stop the horses' hooves, or they will shoot down the arrows!" ”
Baili Susu stretched out his hand and shouted: "Don't shoot, I'm Baili Susu, the granddaughter of Baili Xi, the prime minister of Yu State, I want to see my grandfather and my mother, as well as my brothers and sisters, please open the city gate and let me into the city, okay?" ”
The defenders in the city saw that there were only two people, and a man and a woman, their nervousness suddenly relaxed, and the partial general Ji Chu who led the team ordered: "Go find a few people from Yu Guo to take a look, but it is Baili Xi's granddaughter?" ”
No matter what age or any country, the most indispensable thing in the world is traitors, and it seems more appropriate to call them "traitors" here. Because it is human nature to be afraid of death, most people will choose to give in in the face of death.
Soon, a man dressed as a gentleman followed the Jin army to the city, raised a torch and aimed it downward, and then nodded and said: "General Bao, this woman is Baili Xi's granddaughter, my house is only one street away from Xiangbang Mansion, I watched her grow up, and I will never admit my mistake!" ”
Although it was confirmed that it was Baili Xi's granddaughter, Ji Chu was still full of suspicions, since Pinglu had fallen into the hands of the Jin army, why did she still throw herself into the net? But if there is any conspiracy, Ji Chu doesn't believe it, just how much of a storm can they set off with a man and a woman?
"It is estimated that nine times out of ten, I miss my family!"
Ji Chu muttered in his heart and asked loudly: "Your family members have all been taken prisoner, what are you doing when you come back, do you want to reunite with them?" ”
Baili Susu sobbed on the horse and begged: "General, my father has died on the battlefield, and my little woman is helpless outside, missing her relatives day and night, so I came back and begged the general to let me reunite with my family." Whether it's in the Yu Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom, as long as I am with my relatives, I believe that the general will not refuse the request of a weak woman, right? ”
"Lower the drawbridge and open the gates!" Ji Chu waved his hand and commanded.
In the sound of "squeak", the drawbridge slowly fell, the city gate slowly opened, and Ji Chu personally led fifty soldiers down the city wall to arrest people.
"Kill!"
At the moment when the city gate opened, Xiang Yu flew the black horse under his crotch, brandished the heavenly dragon halberd in his hand, and flew across the suspension bridge like an arrow from the string, and cut off Ji Chu's head with lightning speed.
The Jin army, who followed Ji Chu to arrest people, was stunned, and before he could see what was going on, the general's head had already landed, and he subconsciously thought it was an illusion.
It was only when Xiang Yu's halberd was cut down that they understood, this was a true thing, but it was a pity that at this time their heads had already flown into the air, and the red blood shot out of the cavity like a fountain, and the spilled city wall was mottled.
"Death to those who stand in my way!"
Xiang Yu roared like thunder, the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd swept, a cold light flashed, and the long halberd of one zhang eight rolled down a large piece when it landed, and the bones swept by the halberd rod were broken, and the human head swept by the halberd blade flew up, killing three people at once, it was really brutal.
"Oh no, the enemy is in!"
Although the Jin army was outnumbered, in the face of Xiang Yu's devastating offensive, it was as easy as crushing an ant, and they were all frightened.
Xiang Yu rode like a fly, and the halberd seemed to be chopping melons and vegetables everywhere he went, and in a blink of an eye, more than ten people had been killed, and the corpses were killed everywhere, and the originally crowded city gate suddenly became empty.
Baili Susu couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "General Xiang's martial arts are so good?" It seems to be more powerful than General Zilong, no wonder I can't even catch his halberd, it seems that he didn't use all his strength! ”
"Miss Susu enter the city, be careful with the bow and arrow!"
Xiang Yu shouted, and Baili Su Fang woke up from the shock, and his legs hurriedly clamped on the belly of the war horse, urging the horse to cross the suspension bridge, and the arrows were already raining down behind him.
"Charge with me!"
Ji Bu and Zhong Li, who were hidden in the woods, saw that the city gate had been opened, and each urged their horses out of the woods, Ji Bu held Changge, Zhong Liwu dragged a one-handed long-handled sledgehammer, and led one hundred and fifty elites of the Chu State to rush to the south gate of Pinglu.
"Blow the trumpet, pull the drawbridge, and release the arrows!"
After the death of Prince Ji, his lieutenant general shouldered a heavy responsibility, and he did not know how many enemy troops had come outside the city, so he ordered to blow a horn to warn and gather reinforcements from a large group of men and horses, and at the same time ordered to pull up the drawbridge and fire arrows in unison to seal the city gate.
Ji Bu, Zhong Liwu and others were still hundreds of zhang away from the south city gate at this moment, and the drawbridge slowly rose again in the sound of "squeak", and the deputy general personally led three hundred sword and shield men down the stairs down the city wall, ready to besiege the comers and close the city gate.
"Susu, you protect yourself under the city gate, I will go to the city wall to kill the crossbowmen and cut down the drawbridge!"
Xiang Yu picked up a red tassel spear from the ground with a halberd and threw it to Baili Susu, and then rode out of the city gate and went straight to the steps of the city wall.
happened to bump into the deputy general of the Jin army who led the sword and shield men to snatch the city gate, and with a loud bang, he pounced on it with a halberd, and split Huashan with a force, split the helmet and head of the deputy general from the middle, and planted the horse when he boarded.
"Death to those who stand in my way!"
Xiang Yu roared like thunder, and the halberd swept out, sweeping seven or eight Jin soldiers down the inclined stairs, like dumplings in a pot, crackling and falling to the ground.
Xiang Yu rode forward, no one could stop him, facing the dense sword and shield hands coming down from the city wall, as if sweeping the ground to sweep the Jin army down the ladder, the huge force is more than ten people can not resist, keep falling from the city wall, soon stacked Arhats, the dead can not be counted.
In a moment's effort, Xiang Yu relied on a halberd and a horse to kill back three hundred shield soldiers, rushed onto the city wall of Pinglu, shouted, waved the halberd and slashed at the iron cable, "Bang Dang", sparks splashed, the iron cable was immediately broken, and it fell to the ground heavily.
