Chapter 75 Xiang Yu Siege
After the Chu army left Kuaiji, Xiang Yu was the vanguard, and Song Yi and Liu Bang were the central army. Since Xiang Yu was the vanguard, he naturally took the first step, but Xiang Liang was a little worried about his proud nephew, so he sent
Xiang Ta, a calm and wise man, came to assist him. Xiang Ta looked at Xiang Yu's gloomy face since he left Kuaiji and asked: "It is rare for a young general to have the opportunity to lead an army alone. Why is it still like this?"
Xiang Yu sneered and said, "Is this leading the troops alone? My uncle, it's true. Since he appointed me as a general, he asked the King of Chu not to send Song Yi, Liu Bang and the like. Xiang, do you think this is annoying?"
"This...little general, this is also the good intention of General Xiang. If you can take down the East China Sea this time, little general, you will naturally make the first contribution. If you can't take it, there are two more people on it."
The general can take the blame, and the junior general will naturally make no mistakes. Isn't this great?" Xiang advised.
When Xiang Yu heard this, he curled up his lips and said, "Can't I personally take down Donghai County easily? Uncle, he is too cautious." He suddenly raised his voice and said, "Send my order to the whole army to speed up the journey and be sure to cooperate with him."
The Chinese army has a three-day journey!" The messenger behind him immediately issued his order to the entire army, and the speed of the entire army suddenly increased a lot.
"General, what are you doing?" Xiang Ta asked hurriedly.
"I will use my forward troops to take down the East China Sea, so that Song and Yi will not be able to share my credit." Xiang Yu said confidently.
"But we don't have enough troops. How can we fight against the Qi people's army?"
"As long as you give me 50,000 troops, I can capture Linzi, let alone the East China Sea?"
"But we only have fifteen thousand troops now." Xiang Ta said anxiously.
"I'm not going to attack Linzi. My fifteen thousand men and horses are enough to capture the East China Sea." Xiang Yu said, urging Wu Zui to run forward. Seeing that he had this intention, Xiang Yu could only sigh.
He took a breath and followed behind.
At this time, the Chinese army was not marching very fast. Liu Bang and Song Yi sat in a chariot and moved forward together. Liu Bang said to Song Yi: "If you can fight with General Song this time, you will definitely be successful and take over the East China Sea."
County, I also hope that General Song can help more junior generals in the future."
Song Yi's appearance was not majestic, he was a fair-skinned man like a scholar. Hearing Liu Bang's words, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "General Liu's words are serious. Before he surrendered to Da Chu, the general was also a leader in the rebel army.
The establishment of four counties with hundreds of people is indeed an example for Song Yi. If he can join forces with General Liu this time, the people of Qi will surely surrender."
Liu Bang's expression changed when he heard him talking about his past deeds, but when he heard what he said later, he couldn't tell that he was sarcastic about himself, so it was hard to say anything. When he had nothing to say, the scouts in front of him came to inquire.
He ran over and said, "General, Xiang Xianfeng's army has suddenly accelerated and has been more than a day away from our Chinese army. Do you want your subordinates to go up and stop them?"
"It seems that General Xiang Yu is eager to achieve great results." Liu Bang said with a smile.
"Does General Liu mean to stop them or let them attack?" Song Yi turned around and asked.
"As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. When Xiang Yu leads an army for the first time, he naturally hopes that he can make great achievements. Why should we try to displease him? As long as my army follows behind, nothing will happen to us." Liu Bang said unconcernedly.
.
"Okay, then let's do what you want." Song Yidao.
A smile appeared on Liu Bang's lips: "If Xiang Yu is defeated or even dies in battle because we fail to rescue him, then the conflict between Chu and Qi will be great, and it may also lead to internal disputes in Chu State, which is very beneficial to me."
Song Yi obviously didn't notice Liu Bang's smile and just ordered the army to move forward at the original speed.
"General, we have been separated from the Chinese army for three days." Xiang Ta came to Xiang Yu and said.
"Then keep some distance. I don't want Song Yi and the others to arrive when I'm about to capture Donghai County." Xiang Yu even frowned a little more.
"General, aren't you afraid of going deep alone and getting yourself killed?" Xiang Ta asked worriedly.
"My soldiers in Dachu are much stronger than those in Qi. They can be equal to ten, so why should we be afraid? Don't worry about it. Think about how to kill Qi." Xiang Yu said with a smile.
Full of confidence, Xiang Ta sighed helplessly, knowing that he could not stop Xiang Yu's adventure.
The news that the Chu people were leading an army to attack Donghai County had already been reported to Qi by Xi Zuo and his horsemen when the Chu army left Kuaiji. Xiang Yu's vanguard was much faster than Xiang Yu's vanguard. The King of Qi was shocked when he learned the news.
: "I didn't expect that the Chu people cared so much about this city, and actually raised troops to attack it regardless of the fact that everyone was anti-Qin forces. What should I do?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to panic. According to the information obtained by Xiang Zuo, it is not Xiang Liang who is coming this time, but his nephew and a general named Song Yi, as well as Liu Bang, who has just surrendered. I think their military strength is not too threatening this time.
"Qi's current Prime Minister Tian Hengpeng consoled him from below.
"It turns out that Xiang Liang did not personally lead the troops, but only sent a young boy, a surrendered general and an unknown guy. Then our Qi State will definitely be able to repel the invading enemies, or we can prevent them from doing so.
You underestimate our Qi army." The King of Qi was overjoyed and said, "Now there are 30,000 troops stationed in Donghai County. In the Prime Minister's opinion, should I send more troops?"
"With a fortified city to rely on, General Dou should be able to defend this city, and I'm afraid it's too late for us to send a large army now." Tian Hengpeng thought for a while and said.
"Okay, then let General Dou guard the East China Sea, and I will write an edict to him immediately." King Qi said and quickly came to the case and wrote an edict.
In Donghai County, Dou Tiande sat in the hall and listened to the scout's report: "The Chu people's vanguard is less than thirty miles away from our city."
"So fast? How many people are coming?" Dou Tiande said in surprise.
"It seems that the formation is less than 20,000, and the opponent's backup seems to be quite far away." The scout said while wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves.
"Dare to attack the city with less than 20,000 people? They don't take our army seriously!" Dou Tiande said angrily. After a while, he hesitated: "Or is he just luring the enemy's army and wants to
What if our army leaves the city and the soldiers surround us?"
"General, in fact, all you need to do is hold on to the city and everything will be solved." The counselor beside him said.
"Well, let's hold on to the city for now and wait and see."
After Xiang Yu's army rested for a night more than thirty miles away from Donghai County, they marched forward with great force. After arriving at the gate of Donghai City, Xiang Yu waved his hand and ordered people to call for battle outside the city. He also understood that with his own
It was somewhat unrealistic for him to attack the city with 15,000 men, so he decided to lure the enemy out of the city and then destroy them.
For a time, obscene words were flying all over the city, and the soldiers guarding the city were furious. If there had not been military orders, they would have already marched out to fight the Chu people.
"What? The Chu people's vanguard, with only over 10,000 people, dared to come to our city and act wild?" Dou Tiande said angrily, "What kind of general is this?"
"This is Xiang Liang's nephew Xiang Yu. His soldiers are insulting us outside the city now." The soldiers who came to report were also still angry.
"It's unreasonable. A young boy with such a small number of troops dares to attack the city and insults my people. It seems that I should give them some color." Dou Tiande stood up quickly and said, "Beat the drum and gather the troops.
, I will personally lead the troops out to take off his head!" When he learned that the Chu soldiers who came were only half of his defenders, he was already eager to do it. Now that he was provoked, he ignored him. The counselors on the side looked at him
He knew from his look that he could not persuade the general, so he wisely did not put forward any different opinions.
"Quack~" The city gate slowly opened, and Dou Tiande rushed out with 20,000 horses and formed a formation in front of Xiang Yu's formation. "Xiang Yu, my son, how dare you despise our Qi army like this? You must fight today
Take off his head to vent this hatred!" Dou Tiande pointed at the Chu army in front and said, "Go up, annihilate them all!"
Qi Bing let out a shout and charged forward with great momentum.
"Xiang Yu stood at the forefront of the Chu army. When he saw the Qi soldiers getting ready after leaving the city, he calmly ordered his men to prepare for battle. When the enemy charged up, he slapped his horse on the horse and shouted: "
Charge with me!" After shouting, he rushed forward, and the big knife in his hand flashed a beautiful arc in the sunlight, just hitting a Qi soldier who rushed in front of him, and he was killed with one force.
Cut into two pieces.
The Qi people who were rushing in front saw that Xiang Yu was so powerful, and the momentum of their charge slowed down. Their military morale had begun to waver. But the Chu army would not be polite to them, and the hundreds of Xiang family troops who followed Xiang Yu also
Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, it defeated the leading troops of the Qi people in one fell swoop.
If the soldiers of Chu are tigers, then Xiang Yu is the King of Tigers. He is leading the way, with a long sword in his hand, and there are people whose heads are missing. The Chu soldiers behind have completely turned into harvesting the frightened Qi people.
When Dou Tiande saw that the situation was not good, he couldn't help being shocked, but he thought that he had more men and horses than the Chu people. At this time, retreating to the city seemed to be too ambitious, so he still ordered the Qi army to attack the Chu army. However,
With the devastating impact of Xiang Yu and hundreds of Xiang's troops, Qi soldiers were no match for them. In just half an hour, Qi soldiers were already retreating steadily.
"General, it seems that the Chu people are really powerful. Let's go to the city first," said a general.
At this time, Dou Tiande was also completely captured by the murderous intent of the Chu people and did not dare to lead his troops to attack again. Hearing his subordinate's suggestion, he nodded hurriedly and said: "Send gold and return to the city." After saying that, he turned the horse's head and was the first one.
Go to the city.
When the Qi people saw that even the generals had retreated to the city, they immediately turned around and headed towards Donghai City. They all ignored the Chu soldiers behind them and ran towards the city, letting the Chu people kill them behind.
