Chapter 35: Banner Hunting, War Drums Thundering
Liu Bang looked at Xiang Yu: "Brother Xiang, this person's name is Su Du, Su Jiao's brother, and now he is a general under Ziying, and General Long He died at the hands of this person." ”
"Yes, that's good, today's battle is just to avenge the dragon."
Xiang Yu drew his sword, and there were not many cruel words, and he shouted: "Line up to attack." ”
"Brothers, follow the soldiers of the Chu army and rush to the city, gold, silver, jewelry, wealth, goods and beauties are right in front of you." Liu Bang also drew his sword and ordered loudly, and the old and weak remnants of his soldiers quickly followed the steadily advancing Chu army.
In an instant, the Chu army showed its powerful ability to attack fortifications.
If it weren't for Li Feng's appearance, this army would undoubtedly be the most powerful army in the world.
The banner hunted, the war drums thundered, and the Chu army advanced in an orderly manner.
The elite infantry held a square shield in front and followed the chariot, followed by a large siege machine such as a well.
Su Du immediately counterattacked, and the giant arrows fired by the three-machine crossbow entered the Chu army with a powerful impact, which was indestructible, and instantly brought up a rain of blood.
Not to be outdone, Xiang Yu immediately organized trebuchets and archers to shoot at the head of the city to cover the advance of his siege troops.
Under the command of Xiang Yu, the Chu army quickly approached the city wall and immediately launched a fierce attack.
Liu Bang's army then followed, swarmed up, and rushed towards the city wall.
Su Du and his generals personally opened their bows and arrows, launched the poisonous dragon fire-breathing god tube, and dealt a severe blow to the Chu army that climbed up.
The battle soon entered the white heat, the arrows and artillery stones on the city were fired like raindrops, gold juice and boiling oil poured down, and the Chu army was killed and wounded a lot.
Xiang Yu personally supervised the battle, and the tenacious Chu army stood against the shield, braving the golden juice of arrows and stones, with siege equipment, the front team fell, and the rear team followed, and no one dared to retreat.
"Resist, resist me, kill."
The Qin army was brave, Su Du personally played with his life at the head of the city, and his subordinates were not afraid of death one by one, and the Chu army continued to squeeze into the city, and they were constantly beaten down by the Qin army soldiers.
Even after some Qin soldiers were seriously injured, they would rather jump off the city with the Chu army in their arms and die together.
The Chu army also scrambled to be the first, fighting to the death and not retreating, although they rushed back and forth many times, they still couldn't attack the city, they still had no fear, pushed away the corpses in front of them, and rushed forward at the cost of forgetting their lives.
Jinglan fell, the ladder fell apart, and the red-eyed Chu army began to dig the city wall.
The cruelty of war is that once it starts, it is very difficult to stop.
Either you die or I die, and neither of them will give in half a step, because if you retreat, you will never recover.
.........
Su Du's side was in full swing, and Han Xin was looking at the map in a daze.
In fact, he is more anxious and ruthless than anyone else.
There were only 80,000 defenders at the head of the city, and the arrows and artillery would be used less and less.
However, there were about 300,000 troops in the Chu-Han coalition army, all of which were well-equipped and prepared. Although Su Du is good at fighting, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and even immortals can't play after running out of food.
He took away 20,000 troops, and it was impossible for Xianyang to send any more reinforcements, if he didn't make any moves, Su Du would fall into a very dangerous situation, which was absolutely unacceptable.
When I first arrived, the cowhide blew very loudly, and His Majesty the Emperor said that he wanted to make himself a general, but now he is just a deputy general, and he has not made an inch of success when he is sent out, but he has watched the commander being cut down, what is going on?
In case Su Du couldn't bear the retreat, he ran to His Majesty to join his own copy, and it was not good to get his head to the ground.
What Su Du and Bai Zhan wanted was to withstand the attack of the Chu army this time and fight a beautiful defensive battle.
And what he Han Xin wants is to send the attacking Chu and Han coalition forces into the Ghost Gate Pass in waves, so as to make enough merits for His Majesty the Emperor to promote himself.
"What's more, Su Du and they don't know, His Majesty only gave me a three-month probationary period, they can afford it, I can't afford it, if I haven't been able to repel Xiang Yu's attack in three months, then wouldn't this position of general be in vain."
Thinking of this, Han Xin couldn't even sleep well, he had everything arranged now, just waiting for Bai Zhan's gift.
"Bai Zhan, Bai Zhan, it's up to you, please hurry up."
........
Outside Pengcheng, Bai Zhan has been looking for an opportunity to sneak in after receiving Han Xin's request, but Xiang Yu may have learned about the whole story of Zhang Han's defeat, so he is now very strict against the Falcon Dragon Guard.
The gates of the city have been closed, and everyone in the city of unknown origin has been killed, and none of the Falcon Dragonguards have escaped.
Bai Zhan only has 2,000 men and horses, scattered in several cities around Pengcheng, and the only people that his subordinates can use now are about 200 people, and storming the city is simply looking for death.
Han Xin has only been here for a few days, and he has given him such a problem, if it weren't for the fact that His Majesty took a fancy to this goods, Bai Zhan would have been eager to whip him two big ear scrapers.
"General, it's not okay to lurk, and it's not okay to storm it, why don't we try to start somewhere else?" Bai Zhan's subordinates praised Bu Bu, and an idea flashed in his mind.
"Where else to start? Tell me about it. ”
"Hehe, my subordinates have read countless women, and they know that women are easily swayed by emotions and lose their minds, so we can pretend to be Princess Chu's relatives, approach her, and then bring her out."
Bai Zhan nodded: "It makes sense, but we don't know anything about Yu Ji's relatives, how to pretend." ”
Zan smiled unhurriedly: "General, under the command of the last general, there is a person named Huo Sancai, who is the hometown of Princess Chu." ”
"Oh, then, bring him to me."
After a while, Zan Bu took Huo Sancai to Bai Zhan.
"Subordinate Huo Sancai, meet the general."
"Do you know Yu Ji?"
"I don't know, but the minister has a good friend, named Xu Dazhuang, who is Yu Ji's fellow countryman, and has boasted to his subordinates many times about his past with Princess Chu, and his subordinates have all remembered it in their hearts."
Subsequently, Huo Sancai told Xu Dazhuang and the story he told, Bai Zhan and Zan did not panic while listening and thinking, and after speaking, an idea came naturally.
Zan Bu patted Huo Sancai's shoulder: "Old Huo, give you a task, pretend to be Xu Dazhuang, and deceive Princess Chu, how about it?" After the deed is done, the first credit should be credited. ”
Huo Sancai smiled: "It's all up to the general's arrangement!" ”
"Okay, come here, you ...... like this" Bai Zhan pulled Huo Sancai and whispered.
"The general is clever." Huo Sancai smiled slyly: "Before that, I have to use Lord Zan's superb skills to make an immortal card for me." ”
............
In the luxurious royal garden of Pengcheng, the melodious sound of the piano spreads.
People who don't understand music only feel that the sound of the piano is pleasant to the ear, and those who understand it can hear it at once, and this sound contains a strong sense of sadness and longing for relatives.
Yu Ji is different from Liu Bang's wife Lu Pheasant.
She is not the kind of woman who is full of ambition and has a strong desire for power.
