Chapter 264: Dangerous City

Naturally, things will work out naturally. Since both Chen County and Dang County have been taken by Xiang Yu, Dong County will naturally not be able to hold on. Because of Fusu and others' negligence and errors in judgment, Xiang Yu finally allowed Xiang Yu to win in the shortest possible time.

He took down Chen County and other three counties. At the same time, relying on the death of King Chu, he inspired the Chu army's originally sluggish fighting spirit, making them once again determined to fight to the death with the Qin people because of their hatred for the Qin people.

Xiang Yu stood on top of the city wall of Dongjun. Although the three counties had fallen into his hands, there was no joy in his heart. Yes, now the civil strife in Chu State was also put down by himself due to a strange combination of circumstances.

Even the King of Chu who was most likely to be a threat to him was eliminated by him, and the morale of the Chu army was greatly boosted, but Xiang Yu knew that he had lost more. "I'm afraid that when the Qin army's troops are pressing down on Jiujiang,

, the two counties of Kuaiji may not be able to defend it for long. Then if I take these three cities now, won’t I have to fight the Qin army in the end? Moreover, these three cities combined are not as easy to defend and difficult to attack as the two cities of Kuaiji. Now

What should I do?" Xiang Yu kept asking himself in his heart, but unfortunately he still has no clue how to solve the current situation. Now he begins to miss Fan Zeng, Xiang Ta and Long Qie and other capable people.

Now, if one of them is by his side to think of a solution with him, maybe now they have come up with a way to turn defeat into victory. Thinking of the three of them, Xiang Yu began to try to think of himself as the three of them.

Think about it from their perspective.

It's a pity that Xiang Yu only knew them as good counselors and generals, but he still knew too little about their characters. Suddenly, Xiang Yu looked to the northwest: "Since there is no solution from the three of them,

Just think about it from my own point of view. I, Xiang Yu, will not back down because the situation is not good for me. I will just defend blindly. I should continue to attack." When he thought of attacking, Xiang Yu had an idea, "Although now I have

They can't take more than 40,000 men and horses, but shouldn't the Qin people in their own country have fewer men and horses than me? Since the gateway to the Central Plains is already in my hands, why don't I capture a few cities in the Central Plains? In this way

, The Qin army that is attacking our country of Chu is bound to be in chaos, and the crisis will naturally be resolved by then." Xiang Yu was overjoyed that he had come up with this idea. After laughing a few times, he immediately ordered his soldiers to leave the city and go west.

The order made Chu soldiers completely confused.

But since Xiang Yu had given the military order, even if those soldiers had doubts in their hearts, they had to follow Xiang Yu out of Dongjun, which he had just taken, and head towards the Central Plains area.

The news that Xiang Yu had captured three cities in a row finally reached Fusu's ears. At this time, Fusu had no time to take care of this, because he had already led his troops to the gates of Kuaiji City and was letting the soldiers go up and kill them.

Kuaiji was taken down. But Fan Zeng, who was guarding Kuaiji, had already made preparations. There were sufficient defensive equipment. The four walls were covered with Chu troops and the people in the city. No matter which side the Qin troops came from, there were

Countless people came forward with weapons and stones and beat them hard.

After a few days, Kuaiji City was still well defended. Obviously the Chu people put in a lot of effort and effort after establishing this as their capital. Kuaiji's defense capabilities at this time were no longer inferior to those of Handan and other cities. This was also a support.

What Su didn't want to see the most. After another failed attack on the city, Fusu looked at the sky that was about to darken and ordered the gold ring. After the generals returned to their camps, Fusu recruited them all.

In the big tent, he wanted to hear their opinions about Kuaiji City.

"Your Majesty, it is obvious that the Chu people are defending the city with the determination to die. As the saying goes, the mourning soldiers must win. Although they cannot be regarded as the mourning soldiers now, their strength cannot be underestimated." A man attacked for half a day but failed.

The general who lost nearly a centaur under his command sighed, with deep regret in his tone.

Helpless. Several other generals who were in the same situation as him also nodded in agreement with his view, and some even said humanely: "Your Majesty, our officers and soldiers in Qin are exhausted now, and Chu State only has one city left in Kuaiji to defend, why not

How about letting it go first, leading the army back to Xianyang, and waiting until next year to fight again?"

"No!" Zhang Liang immediately objected: "How can we fall short of our achievements by serving nine people for the mountain? Now that the Chu people have been suppressed by me, only this city is left. As long as our army continues to attack for a few more days, the people and soldiers in the city will suffer."

No, Kuaiji will naturally be taken down by us by then. But if we return to Xianyang at this time,

I'm afraid that the Chu people will stand up again. At that time, because we are beyond our reach, all the cities we have taken down will fall into the hands of the Chu people again. Then the previous hard battles will be in vain, and the front

The soldiers who died in the battle have no value. Therefore, I believe that the right way is to continue to attack the city."

Fusu also agreed with Zhang Liang's intention, but after seeing that many soldiers had died in the past few days, Kuaiji remained unmoved. In addition, Xiang Yu and others had cut off his escape route, which made him

Hesitation arose. Fusu looked at Han Xin on the other side, waiting for him to express his opinion. Because Meng Tian and Zhang Han were attacking Jiujiang and were not around, the two people Fusu relied on the most now were them.

Han Xin pondered for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, Kuaiji is indeed the most difficult to attack at this time, because the more than 100,000 people in the city have become a force to defend the city, although they are really a ragtag group on the battlefield.

, is no match for my thousands of elite soldiers, but it is enough to defend the city. So if we attack the city by force, even if we can capture the city, the losses will be huge, so we should think of other ways."

Seeing Han Xin's confident look, Zhang Liang knew that Han Xin had already made a plan, so he asked on Fusu's behalf: "If General Han has any plans, please tell me."

Han Xin said: "It is advantageous for the Chu people in the city to rely on the people to defend the city, which can make up for the lack of military strength on both sides of us. However, there are also disadvantages to using the people to defend the city, that is, they are not real warriors after all.

The discipline on the battlefield is still not enough. As long as we can make them confused, they will definitely lose their fighting spirit. By then, this state will be transmitted to the real Chu soldiers in the city, and when we attack the city again, we will encounter

The resistance will be very small."

Fusu Jing understood the truth immediately, nodded and said: "This is indeed a good idea to attack Kuaiji, so let's follow this plan and destroy the fighting spirit of the people in the city."

Many generals did not understand the meaning and stood there with big eyes. Fusu glanced at Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang smiled and said: "It's actually very simple. As long as we ask the Chu people in the city

By spreading the news that Xiang Yu is dead, I think the people will naturally panic." The generals suddenly understood and nodded, thinking that this was a feasible and good strategy.

After everything was discussed, all the generals also resigned, and only Fusu was left in the big tent. Although Fusu had hope of defeating Kuaiji with this method, he still couldn't relax in his heart. Xiang Yu took the three counties.

The news was limited to him and Zhang Liang. Han Xin knew that if others knew about it, the morale of the army would inevitably be disturbed, so he was eager to capture Kuaiji and Jiujiang as soon as possible. Only after capturing these two cities could he take them with him.

After losing the troops, turn back

To deal with Xiang Yu. "Now our army only has enough food and grass to last for half a month. Within this half month, I must take down Jiangji and Jiujiang! Otherwise, once the food is out, things will be in trouble, and Xiang Yu will go further to take down the three counties."

hit later

It seems that all my plans for other cities will be revealed in this half month." Thinking of this, Fusu couldn't help but think of Jiujiang City on the other side. He wondered whether Jiujiang City could be defended under the attack of Meng Tian and his two men.

Liveable.

A battle was going on in Jiujiang City at this time. After receiving Fusu's order and knowing that Xiang Yu had escaped, Meng Tian knew that they could no longer just besiege the city without attacking, so Meng Tian and Zhang Han led their troops to fight

Jiujiang City launched wave after wave of attacks. After several attacks, the Chu army left behind in the city gradually became unable to support them.

Seeing this situation, Meng Tian and the two men would not let go of this opportunity. Zhang Han felt that he would personally lead the troops to the city, set up ladders for the soldiers, and kill towards Jiujiang City. Because Zhang Han, the general, took the lead.

, the morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted, several times

They had already reached the city, but because of Xiang's command and Xiang Zhuang's brave resistance, the Qin army could not completely board the city. However, both sides knew that Jiujiang City could not be defended.

, the destruction of the city is already around the corner.

Looking at the darkening sky, Meng Tian ordered his troops to withdraw their troops. He also knew that although the city was about to be broken, he could not rush, otherwise the losses of the soldiers would be even greater. After Zhang Han returned to the camp, he was very concerned about Meng Tian's withdrawal of troops.

yes

Dissatisfied: "General Meng, I have led my men and horses up from the south gate again. As long as we persist, more soldiers will board the city. By then, Jiujiang will be broken. Why are you claiming gold at this time?"

"

Meng Tian smiled and said: "General Zhang, I know you are eager to capture this city to avenge your humiliation, but the soldiers should rest after fighting for a day. And although you have gone to the city, the Chu army has quickly mobilized troops.

Our army cannot take this city in the dark."

Although Zhang Han wanted to make a contribution, he also knew that what Meng Tian said was right, so he didn't say anything more and went back to his tent to think about how to attack the city again tomorrow.

In Jiujiang City, Xiang and he were at their wits' end. They sat quietly in the hall. You looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke. They knew that Jiujiang might be broken tomorrow.
