Chapter 156: Capture Shang Cai
Bai Zhong took into account the half-crossing of the Chu army, so he would be the first to kill it, and use his own strength, plus the combat power of the short soldiers and the Iron Eagle Sharp Soldiers, to fight a bloody way for the army behind.
Xiang Liang is here, there are only more than 20,000 people.
As long as the river is crossed smoothly, this is not worth mentioning.
Soon, the soldiers of the Chu army on the shore all retreated in fear.
It's not that I'm afraid of Qin Jun, but I'm afraid of Bai Zhong.
They saw with their own eyes that as long as Bai Zhong's knife was raised, there would definitely be colleagues who would fall, sometimes killing one person with one sword, sometimes two people, or even three people with one sword.
Terrible!
This Qin general is terrible!
The soldiers led by Bai Zhong killed more and more fiercely, and instantly penetrated into the Chu army.
The same terrible people are not only Bai Zhong.
The short soldiers led by Ying Shu, as well as the sharp soldiers led by Geng Wu, all killed like hemp, and the more they killed, the more excited they became.
"Keep up with the General!"
Meng Tian shouted, took his 10,000 people, and rushed out of the pontoon bridge first.
Next, Wang Li also led his troops to land.
The longer Bai Zhong delayed, the more Qin troops came to the shore.
After a while, the soldiers led by Zhang Tang and Ren Huan also landed on land, and the sailors on the warship disembarked and landed one after another, slaughtering the Chu army from all directions, and the blood quickly stained the sand by the river red and merged into the river.
Xiang Liang looked at the Qin army from a distance, only to see that the river bank was completely lost, and he was completely defeated in this battle, so he shouted helplessly: "All retreat, enter the city!" ”
If they don't retreat, they may all die here, and no one will be able to leave.
The first time he led the army to fight alone, he faced the ruthless Bai Zhong, and he failed so miserably, which Xiang Liang couldn't have imagined.
However, when retreating, Xiang Liang finally glanced at Bai Zhong from a distance, and secretly thought in his heart, I will definitely defeat you in the future, I must defeat!
Today's defeat is only temporary.
The Chu army was given the order to retreat, and they rushed to leave after being killed, for fear that they would be killed if they walked slowly, and they all retreated to Shang Cai's side.
Bai Zhong did not pursue, occupied the shore first, and saw that Li Xin and Zhang Han also came with their troops, and ordered: "You go to attack the city!" ”
He was responsible for leading his troops to forcibly cross the river, and Li Xin was responsible for the siege of the city.
The two parts of the Qin army, acting separately, can be seamlessly connected without giving the Chu army a chance to rest.
"Siege!"
Zhang Han shouted first.
Their subordinates only lost more than 1,000 people, and the remaining 30,000 people advanced directly to Shangcai.
Things such as building cars and rushing cars were too tall and bulky to cross the river through pontoons, so they only had ladders.
As soon as the Chu army withdrew to the city, it was too late to rest, and the Qin army immediately came to attack the city again.
Xiang Liang could only respond in a panic.
Of the more than 20,000 people he brought out just now, only more than 5,000 remained, and there were originally more than 10,000 guards in the city, who were desperately defending the city at this time.
The siege was thus fought.
The Qin army's method was the simplest and most brutal attack.
Go through the ladder and storm it.
Bai Zhong did not participate in the siege, restrained his fighting spirit and rage, simply wiped the blood from his face, and then asked the soldiers to harvest human heads, ears and other things in order to count the battle exploits.
"How did you do that?"
Yingshu walked over and asked.
Bai Zhong asked her curiously, "What and how?" ”
Ying Shu asked, "When I kill the enemy, as long as I stand by your side, the whole person will be different." ”
It turned out that she was asking this, Bai Zhong smiled, but the smile on his face covered with blood looked terrifying, and explained: "Because you saw that I was the first soldier, so brave, and boosted morale, and I was unconsciously influenced by me and became different, Wang Li, you think right?" ”
"yes!"
Wang Li had long felt strange, but he couldn't find any other reason.
Meng Tian agreed: "I think it was the general who invisibly influenced us. ”
Zhang Tang and the others recalled the first time they fought with Bai Zhong, and this was the same situation, but they all agreed with the explanation given by Bai Zhong and nodded one after another.
Yingshu: "......"
Forget it, she definitely can't ask what the reason is, she didn't bother to ask any more, handed over the halberd to a short soldier, sat on the ground to rest, just now followed Bai Zhong to kill the enemy frantically, this is the first time she has fought so wildly, she will feel very tired after stopping.
Bai Zhong walked towards Shang Cai, only to see that the siege battle had completely begun.
Zhang Han and Li Xin's command ability was not bad, and they soon gained the upper hand.
The Chu army had just been defeated, and its morale was almost negative, even if they were given more tools to defend the city, it would be difficult to defend it any longer.
"Abandon the city!"
Xiang Liang had to make this decision.
Shang Cai definitely couldn't hold it, so they hurriedly opened the east gate and fled in the direction of Chen Cheng in embarrassment.
As for the peace near Shangcai, you don't have to think about it, you can't hold it.
Xiang Liang's father, Xiang Yan, was already on his way to Chencheng, and he thought that if he went to meet his father, he might be able to hold the other half of Huaiyang's land by holding Chencheng, so that it would not be completely captured by the Qin army.
As soon as they withdrew from Shangcai, Zhang Han and the others went to the city gate and asked people to open the city gate.
Shang Cai, lost!
"General, the gates are open!"
Zhang Tang hurriedly said.
This siege ended in less than an hour.
Bai Zhong said in a loud voice: "Enter the city!" ”
After a while, the Qin army occupied Shangcai.
Zhang Tang and Ren shouted at them and went to hunt down and kill some of the remnants.
Others led their troops to guard the towers and dispose of the corpses inside and outside the city.
Bai Zhong asked the military judge to count the battle exploits, and then walked to the city tower, spread out the map and continued to study the strategy below.
"You take Shangcai, the next step is Pingyu."
"I don't think the Chu army will defend the peace anymore, and will put the main force in Chencheng to deal with us."
Ying Shu leaned over and looked at the map and said her thoughts: "Only by taking Chen Cheng can we capture the entire Huaiyang, and the Chu army will not let us succeed easily." ”
Bai Zhong didn't expect the female man to analyze the strategy, glanced at her with appreciation, and said: "If I were a Chu general, I would also give up Pingyu and gather in Chen Cheng to resist us with all my might, but it is not difficult to take down Chen Cheng, right?" ”
Xiong Qi stood aside, watching them study the strategy, and when he heard the words, he said, "Why don't you give Chen Cheng to me?" ”
"What are you going to do?"
"My method, non-war! but went into the city to persuade him to surrender. ”
Xiong Qi also had his own plan, and said: "I also know that the king wants me to prove my loyalty, General Bai and the princess should also be a little suspicious of me, Chen Cheng will hand it over to me to prove my innocence, I can enter the city to persuade me to surrender, and assist General Bai and the princess to take Huaiyang." ”
Bai Zhong put away the map and agreed: "Then Chen Cheng will trouble the king to persuade him to surrender, but before going to Chen Cheng, I must take down Pingyu first, so it's decided!" ”
"General, something happened!"
At this time, a military judge hurried to the castle tower.
