Chapter 17: Pushan Surrenders

Dongyang County, located in the southeast of Xutai County, Donghai County, is the last barrier into Surabaya County, and it is also the only city in the south of Xutai County.

At this time, it was noon, the sun hung high, a team of 20,000 people marched towards Dongyang County, headed by a tiger general, wearing a tiger's head silver armor, majestic, although he was young, but it was difficult to hide his murderous spirit, this person was the pioneer who crossed the river from Huiji, Xiang Yu.

In the battle of Guangling, Xiang Yu only took one day, then broke into the city, killed the guards, razed nearly half of the young and strong in the city, and reduced the threat of Guangling County to the Chu army, and then, Xiang Yu quickly went north and went straight to Dongyang County, at this time, it was less than fifty miles away from Dongyang County.

The team was vast, the red Chu flag fluttered in the wind, like a flame wriggling on the earth, and soon, the high Dongyang County city wall appeared in Xiang Yu's eyes.

Looking at the high city wall in the distance, Xiang Yu was in a good mood, as long as he won Dongyang County and broke through Xutai County, he would be equivalent to opening the door to Surabaya County, and the State of Chu would also officially enter the ranks of anti-Qin, this is the day that Xiang Yu has been looking forward to for a long time, when his grandfather and father died in battle, the oath of 'although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu' is still in Xiang Yu's mind, echoing for a long time, it is such an oath, so that Xiang Yu's confidence in destroying Qin is more firm, he must overthrow the Qin Dynasty with his own hands and avenge his father.

Soon, the team gradually approached Dongyang County, Xiang Yu was already holding a sword in his hand at this time, raised in the air, and shouted loudly: "Array!" ”

Several messengers each rode their horses and scattered, the four lieutenant generals of the vanguard army, Long Ji, Ji Bu, Yu Ziqi and Huan Chu each led three thousand soldiers, divided into four major army formations before and after, left and right, each lined up, the middle army, is the eight thousand disciples under Xiang Yu, majestic, after raising a row of giant shields, the war drums began to beat slowly.

Hundreds of soldiers hurried to the nearby mountains and forests, preparing ladders, and the war was about to begin.

Along the way, Xiang Yu has never encountered a strong enemy, which also makes his character more unruly, take Dongyang County in front of him, there are nearly 10,000 defenders in the city, according to the scouts, the guard Pu Shan is brave and good at fighting, extremely brave, despite such a strong opponent, Xiang Yu still did not take them to heart, but calmly came to Dongyang County, and then attacked the city.

At this time, the drums of the attack had been beaten three times, and the trumpets were whimpering, which was the auspicious time for the attack.

Groups of soldiers carried simple ladders to the army formation, and when the ladders were in place, the Chu army would launch the first round of attacks.

At this time, Xiang Yu was at the forefront, several lieutenant generals also rushed to Xiang Yu's side, lined up, the noon sun was the most vicious, and the most dazzling, Xiang Yu put up his eyes with his left hand, looking at Dongyang County, on the city tower, the black Qin flag fluttered, and the Qin army waiting in array did not have the slightest fear, which made Xiang Yu's heart slightly unhappy.

He snorted coldly, ready to give the order to attack the city, but on the opposite tower, the drums of the battle suddenly sounded, and the drums rumbled, which was the prelude to the Qin army going out of the city to fight.

Soon, the south gate of Dongyang County slowly opened, and a group of Qin soldiers roared out, and at a distance of three hundred steps outside the city tower, they began to line up, and the sound of horns and drums also became louder and louder.

In the Chu array, Xiang Yu smiled scornfully, and behind him, Long He rode his horse a few steps forward, beside Xiang Yu, pointed at Qin Array and said, "Brother Yu, it seems that there are more than 5,000 people in the Qin army, let me go and meet him." ”

Xiang Yu ignored Long And, his eyes had already been attracted by a middle-aged general in the opposite military formation, this person was wearing black leather armor, wearing a scarf on his head, holding a spear, majestic, if nothing else, Xiang Yu thought that this person was Pu Shan, the guard of Dongyang County.

Xiang Yu has already heard that Pu Shan, the guard of Dongyang County, is very brave and unusual, very difficult, meet today, how can Xiang Yu give up, at this time, he completely ignored Long and asked for battle, but laughed a few times, took the iron sword back to Cambridge, lifted the long lance on the horse hook, and rode the horse out.

"You're Pushan?" Xiang Yu roared angrily, on the other side, Pu Shan saw that Xiang Yu was young, but his momentum was not lost to himself, and he was a little more jealous in his heart, but after all, he was a battle-hardened person, how could he be overwhelmed by Xiang Yu's momentum, at this time, he also rode out of the horse, straightened his spear, and shouted: "Lao Tzu is Pu Shan, you can report your name, so that I can write down your name on the merit list!" ”

Pu Shan's contempt completely angered Xiang Yu, at this time he was desperate, and rushed out with a lance, on the other side, Pu Shan saw Xiang Yu menacing, and did not speak, immediately waved his spear to fight Xiang Yu.

When the two weapons struck each other, the flames splashed, but soon, with the gallop of the war horse, the two separated again, at this time, Xiang Yule turned the horse's head, looked at Pu Shan, and shouted: "Listen, my name is Xiang Yu, I will kill you today, and I will let you die clearly, lest you go underground, and you don't know who took your dog's head!" ”

Xiang Yu's words, with a bit of ridicule, Pu Shan was furious after hearing it, and then fought Xiang Yu on horseback, Xiang Yu also waved his lance to fight Pu Shan, the two of them rampage in the formation of the two armies, a spear flew left and right, and the soldiers of the two armies all waved their weapons and shouted might.

The sound of drums and horns sounded one after another, and the two had been fighting for half an hour, regardless of victory or defeat, but Pu Shan at this time, his face was obviously sweating, and his physical strength was gradually exhausted.

After galloping for a while, the two met again, at this time, the strength of Pu Shan's spear became smaller and smaller, his physical strength was gradually exhausted, Xiang Yu can be regarded as the first strong enemy he encountered in his life, and it will also be the last, at this time Pu Shan has gradually felt that death is coming.

A white light flashed, Pu Shan felt the huge force brought by Xiang Yu's lance, a strong wind hit his neck, Pu Shan instinctively raised the spear, blocked the lance, but was knocked off the horse by a huge force, a mouthful of blood spurted out, Pu Shan felt that the sound of Xiang Yu's war horse's hooves was getting closer and closer, but Pu Shan's eyes were blurred, just when Pu Shan struggled to get up, Xiang Yu ran to the front, raised his right hand, lifted Pu Shan, and drove the horse back.

There was a great chaos in the Qin army's array, the lord was captured, and some soldiers began to turn around and flee to the city, one person fled and hundreds of people fled, and a hundred people fled and thousands of people fled, for a time, the banner of the Qin army defected, and the crowd of people swarmed into the south gate of Dongyang County.

Xiang Yu had already rushed back to the formation at this time, threw Pu Shan to the ground, and several relatives immediately tied up Pu Shan and escorted him away, at this time, Xiang Yu raised his lance and shouted: "Soldiers, the time for meritorious service has come, follow me to kill it!" ”

The three armies shouted, followed Xiang Yu and went straight to the south gate of Dongyang County.

More than 100 ladders set up the head of Dongyang County, the Chu army rushed to the city, and the Qin army who was blocked outside the door knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, crying and screaming, but the sharp spears of the Chu army ruthlessly stabbed these Qin troops, and for a while, the blood flowed like a river, and Dongyang County fell into the flames of war.

。。。。。。

The massacre lasted for an afternoon, when the Chu army gathered the sergeants and put up the list to calm the people, Dongyang County was already a scorched earth, the streets, there were lying crooked corpses everywhere, the fire ignited the houses and shops, and the fleeing people were ruthlessly trapped in the city by the Chu army, at this time, groups of Chu troops galloped on the streets, searching for the Qin army that was still in a state of resistance.

In the county office, Xiang Yu sat high and then up, below, the four deputy generals each sat in their own positions, not long after, several personal soldiers escorted Pu Shan, at this time Pu Shan was already awake, although there was still some severe pain in the chest, but Pu Shan's consciousness was much better than just now.

At this time, the two pro-soldiers held down Pu Shan, wanting him to kneel, but Pu Shan gritted his teeth and stood proudly, and never refused to give in.

At this time, Xiang Yu strode up to Pu Shan, personally untied the rope for him, and said with a smile: "You and I are our own masters, I don't blame you, now, are you willing to surrender?" ”

"The eldest husband died in battle, what a pity, don't surrender!" Pu Shan decisively refused.

If it was in the past, Xiang Yu would definitely be furious, and then behead Pu Shan, but this time, Xiang Yu had compassion because of Pu Shan's persistence and loyalty, he took off his cloak from his back and put it on Pu Shan, and then smiled: "The tyranny of the Qin State has ruined the people, and it has come to the time when all the rebels and relatives leave, and the righteous army from all walks of life is just to restore the country, overthrow the tyrannical Qin, and let the people live a more prosperous life, do you General Pu have to die in Dongyang County in vain to be considered a hero?" ”

"This ......" Pu Shan hesitated slightly, Xiang Yu had patted Pu Shan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Follow me, make contributions together, and show your ambitions as men!" ”

Pu Shan did not hesitate this time, but knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "General Xie will not give up, if the general is willing to trust me, I am willing to go to Xutai County in person and persuade the county to order Chen Ying to surrender, is it okay?" ”

Xiang Yu thought for a while, and at this time, Yu Ziqi got up and said, "Since General Pu is interested, why don't you let me go with him." ”

Xiang Yu was interrupted by Yu Ziqi's contemplation, shook his hand and smiled: "Since General Pu has surrendered to me, why should I not worry?" ”

Saying that, Xiang Yu walked in front of Pu Shan, sorted out Pu Shan's leather armor, and asked with a smile, "How long will I be able to return?" ”

"If there is no accident, it will be back in a few days." Pu Shan arched his hand, at this time, Xiang Yu had already taken out a sword from his arms, an iron sword, handed it to Pu Shan, and said with a smile: "I have expressed my heart with this sword, and I wish General Pu to return as soon as possible." ”

Xiang Yu's trust deeply touched Pu Shan, who was already teary-eyed at this time, nodding and singing.

The day after Pu Shan left, Xiang Yu led the army to leave Dongyang County, only set up a tun chief to take over the city, waiting for Xiang Liang's main force to arrive, at this time Xiang Yu was mighty, to the vicinity of Xutai County, on the south bank of the Huai River, set down Dazhai, waiting for good news.

Since Xutai County learned that Dongyang County was lost and the city was on fire, it closed the city and took strict precautions.

At this time, a group of Qin soldiers patrolled at the head of the city, and a team of people who had just been recruited struggled to transport the rolling wood thunder stone to the head of the city, and a few mouthfuls of Dading were erected high, inside, full of dung soup, and the wood below was also ready, just waiting for the Chu army to attack the city, it would ignite the Dading.

Just when the city was busy, under the city, suddenly more than ten people came on horseback, and when they came to the city gate, they were the first generals, carrying spears, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up in the city, Pu Shan asks to see Lord Chen." ”

。。。。。。

To explain, Chen Ying should be in Dongyang County, here, Lao Zai wrote a little bias, and wrote Chen Ying to Xutai County, everyone forgive me.
