Zhongli Meiyu Ziqi pointed out 20,000 cavalry out of the north gate of Chencheng to fight. The Qin army opposite had already set up its formation, with three generals in front of the formation, Chen Xi, Cang Haijun, and Fan Kuai. They were all first-class generals in the Qin army. There were about 30,000 cavalry and infantry behind the three, with neat formations and high morale.

It turned out that Wang Zhu received the war report and learned that the Qi army and the Huainan army had a great time behind Xiang Yu. Peng Yue took the opportunity to rob Xiang Yu's last batch of food and grass, and Xiang Yu retreated to Chencheng overnight. Wang Zhu discussed with all the strategists, and everyone thought that Xiang Yu would attack Guling and return to Western Chu to capture Pengcheng. He had to try to hold him back and let him fall into the mud and unable to extricate himself. Therefore, after Wang Zhu followed Xiang Yu, he crossed the gulf and entered the city of "Yangxia" and ordered Canghaijun and three other generals to come to Chencheng to challenge immediately, giving Xiang Yu a warning and preventing him from acting rashly.

Seeing that Qin generals were arrogant and arrogant, Yu Ziqi was angry and jumped out of his horse and challenged loudly. "Damn Qin general, I was about to deal with you. You didn't expect that you would come to your door, and that one came out to die."

Fan Kuai came in the middle and said to the left and right people, "Who went to kill this barbarian and make the best." Chen Xi smiled treacherously, "General, this person cannot be killed easily, right?" Fan Kuai disagreed; "Bastard, the Chu soldiers and generals cannot be killed, it's just a fart!" Chen Xi was a sleek man and did not dare to offend Fan Kuai. Besides, Fan Kuai was the main general in this battle, so he quickly said with a smile. "This Yu Ziqi has a different identity. He is Yu Ji's brother-in-law, and of course he stood on Mrs. Lu's side. When he heard this, he felt even more angry and said sternly; "Canghaijun, you go and take that guy to make a contribution to you." Chen Xi shrank his neck and dared not speak.

Canghaijun has a well-developed limbs and a simple mind. He didn't know what was going on here at all. Since Fan Kuai was the chief general, his words were military orders, so military orders could not be disobeyed. Canghaijun touched the two hammers, making a roar, and they stood out to fight against Yu Ziqi. Yu Ziqi met Canghaijun when he was in Xingyang and knew that this fat man's strength was extraordinary. He was a little scared when he saw him fighting, but he was brave in life and was not afraid of death, so he calmed down in an instant.

Both sides are acquaintances, and they have eliminated nonsense such as "the common name of the enemy general". Canghaijun swung his hammer and rushed up like a madman, slamming towards Yu Ziqi with a buzzing wind. Yu Ziqi's blood rushed over to his head, shouting, thrusting his arms into the knife, and going up the shelf, wanting to take this move. Zhonglimei knew Canghaijun's strength and shouted out anxiously behind him; "Don't take it!" This was a bit too late. The two weapons had already met together, and the soldiers on both sides heard a deafening thunderous sound.

Yu Ziqi's war horse suddenly stepped back four or five steps, almost falling back to the ground. Yu Ziqi felt even more powerful, lightning was transmitted from the hilt of the knife to the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the hand to the two arms. The two forces gathered in the heart, and it was like a lightning strike. I felt a sweet throat, and suddenly a mouthful of blood was spurted out. The stars in my eyes ran around, dizzy, and almost fell off my horse. Canghaijun laughed, the horse circled, and turned and smashed into Yu Ziqi's chest with another hammer. If it hit me, ten Yu Ziqi would be scrapped.

Fortunately, Zhongli Mei was prepared for a long time and had already reached the two of them. Seeing that Yu Ziqi was dangerous, he suddenly stabbed Canghai Jun's heart in the gap between the two hammers. Canghai Jun was caught off guard and immediately stopped and retreated. Yu Ziqi almost avoided the fatal blow. Zhongli Mei knew that he was not his opponent, so he pulled Yu Ziqi's horse head and ran back. Canghai Jun saw that the prey he had got was about to fly, and he screamed like a beast, and then chased him.

Fan Kuai saw Canghai Jun, one man and two generals win a great victory, and immediately beat the drums and roars, and rushed to kill them. The Chu army on the opposite side saw the two generals in crisis and rushed up like a tide to rescue them. The army of the two countries immediately strangled each other and killed for about half an hour, each with casualties, and Mingjin withdrew his troops and returned. During this time, Yu Ziqi vomited blood and was injured, which was considered as the Qin army taking advantage. The most important thing was that Wang Zhu achieved the purpose of attacking the morale of the Chu army.

When Xiang Yu returned to the city, he comforted Yu Ziqi, and felt desolate again. He ordered the generals to return to their camps to think of a plan to retreat to the enemy, but he drank in the tent.

For four or five consecutive days, the Qin army called out outside the city every day. The two armies fought every day, each with casualties and no winner. In fact, these are not important. What is important is that the Chu army has been dragged down by the Qin army, unable to break through, and cannot implement strategic transfer. However, within these four or five days, the situation in the country further deteriorated for the Chu army and reached an uncontrollable situation. First, the Huainan army and the Qi army successfully met and surrounded the entire Dang County. Secondly, the Qin veteran Huan Yi, the garrison general, used the navy to capture the entire Qianzhong County and Qianzhong County, located south of the Yangtze River.

The guards were originally the weakest in the entire Western Chu Dynasty, and the county was also the most remote. At that time, it was quite wild. Xiang Yu did not pay much attention to it, and secondly, he did not expect that someone would dare to attack him, so the entire county had only 20,000 to 30,000 troops. Huan Qi was cunning and cunning. After some investigation, he decided to start from the opponent's weakness and erode it bit by bit. Sure enough, Qianzhong County was vulnerable, and the guards were killed. Most of the more than 20,000 Chu soldiers in the county surrendered. Many of the Chu soldiers here were alien soldiers, and the Chu people were impure. Therefore, unlike the near Pengcheng, there has been no incident of waiting for death.

After Huan Qi took over Qianzhong County, he immediately rushed north out of Jiangling to deal with the Chu general Ding Gu who was stationed in Nanjun. Ding Gu saw the wind and saw that the Western Chu was in the storm and rain, just like a candle flashing in the wind. Maybe it would be extinguished at any time, so he decided to recruit all the troops of the county to surrender Huan Qi. Huan Qi submitted a letter to Wang Zhu and asked Ding Gu to be the Marquis. Wang Zhu was very happy and immediately rewarded Ding Gu with 10,000 kilograms of gold and also granted him the Marquis of Jiangling, allowing him to eat fifteen thousand households. This policy was actually for the people of Chu to see. Encourage everyone to surrender. The examples of Yingbu and Ding Gu were all there, so everyone should think about it. Everyone has their own little ones in their hearts, so they are naturally moved and hesitant.

Huan Qi had contacted Qu Yudong, who was stationed in Wuguan, and was preparing to work together to surround Nanyang County to deal with Xiang Sheng. Although Xiang Sheng was greedy for money and lust, he was also a brave general. Moreover, he was from Xiang and Xiang Yu were brothers of uncles. Of course, it was impossible for him to surrender like Ding Gu. However, when he looked at his situation, he felt that there was no way out at all: from the map, Nanyang County was located south of the Central Plains and north of Nanjun. To the north, there were 50,000 defenders of the prefect of the Qin Dynasty, "Mu Liangyan", who was on the verge of the sword and waiting for the sword to go west.

It was Wuguan. Qu Yu Dongzheng came day and night, and Xiangdong was the territory of South Korea. The battle was lively. Dong Yi was very popular, recruiting soldiers and horses, majestic, and Xiangnan was even more terrifying. Huan Qi sent more than 200,000 troops to come in a vast turmoil. How can this battle be fought? How can you win? It's really a death if you fight, it's a death if you don't fight. The only hope is that Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu, can break free from the net and open the situation to rescue, but anyone can see that the King of Western Chu

It is difficult to protect himself and he doesn't care about others at all. When Xiang Sheng was anxious to commit suicide by wiping his neck, Wang Zhu's decree saved his life. Wang Zhu ordered Huan Qiong to go east to eat thirty counties outside Nanyang County, and to surround the Nanyang County's capital "Wancheng", leaving a way out for Xiang Sheng. Xiang Sheng was puzzled and thought that Wang Zhunian let him go in love with him, so he hurried in Wancheng and dared not show up, allowing the Qin army to attack the city outside.

The land was a little bit, and the chaos was turned upside down, occupying all the counties of Chu, knowing that hundreds of thousands of soldiers surrounded the city. In fact, this was also Wang Ao's plan. Wang Ao knew that Xiang Sheng was afraid of death. As long as he did not attack Wancheng, he would definitely ignore the nearby county town and live in a closed door. In this way, when Huan Qi conquered the city, many county magistrates and magistrates would be forced to open the city to surrender because of ineffective requests for help, which could save a lot of time and the lives of Qin soldiers. As expected, it worked.

Nanyang, Nanjun and Qianzhong County fell one after another within half a month, and the isolated Dang County was also fell. Xiang Yu was still facing the main army of Qin in Chencheng and could not break through the encirclement no matter what.

The commander of Dang County was originally Xiang Guan, but later Xiang Xiang came. For example, they were brothers and nephews of the Xiang family army, naturally they would do as much as they could to protect Dang County. The problem is that the Huainan Army and Qi Army outside the city were so powerful that they would be so strong that they could be drowned by the city walls when they were sweating profusely and were struggling with each other. The two brothers naturally felt that they would rather die than surrender and defend the city, but their soldiers did not think so. They had been scared to death and were thinking about one thing in their hearts: "Why didn't the general order surrender yet!"

The city besieged, the real city besieged! It doesn't leak water, and even a flies and mosquitoes cannot fly in. Just as Huan Qi captured Qianzhong County and Nan County surrounded Wancheng, Dang County was surrounded for half a month. The food was quickly eaten up. Xiang Guan and Xiang Xiangkong had a passion and courage, but they had no strategy, and they could not think of any way to break through or win a battle.

Xiang Guan risked his life and went out of the city to challenge twice, but was blocked by Ying Bu's iron halberd. Ying Bu, the second-ranked figure in the Chu army, was really not a big deal. The iron halberd flew and blocked him and died immediately. No one in Dang County could have walked three rounds under his iron halberd. For a moment, fear enveloped Dang County like a dark cloud.

On the 16th day of the siege, Wang Ben issued an order to attack the entire army. He felt that the Chu army should have been hungry and thirsty as a pile of mud. Wang Ben was hanging at midnight to attack. This was the most tired and sleepy time of the day. The exhausted Chu army was in a dream.

The Qin camp was tight inside and loose outside, the entire camp was sparsely lit, there were few patrols, no smoke or trumpets, but the generals gathered in the general tent. Although Guan Ying was the King of Qi and Ying Bu was the King of Huainan, he was bound by Wang Ben when he arrived here. Wang Ben issued an order to attack the entire army, and all the elite troops were devoted.

"King of Qi Guanying attacked the east gate, Luan Bu attacked the west gate, and King Yingbu of Huainan attacked the north gate. The general personally led his troops to attack the south gate. Each of the four gates was 100,000 people and horses, and he would do his best. Those who surrendered by the Chu army would not be killed, and those who did not surrender would be killed without mercy! The time of Hai made rice, and the time of Zi was three, and they would start together on all sides. The thunder was trembling and they would definitely win. Do you understand?"

"Get order!" The generals agreed!

At the hour of the 19th, the entire army rebelled and prepared to attack. Wang Ben and various generals inspected the military camp and entered the final state of war. Zhou Lan, Ding Fu, Li Bi, and Gongshou followed him to inspect. Guan Ying suddenly said in a deep voice, "Zhou Bo has not reported the battle, and I don't know what Xiang Bo is going to do. I doubt whether he wants to find an opportunity to escape back to Kuaiji, block our army from crossing the river, and save the last piece of territory for Xiang Yu."

Wang Ben could not understand Xiang Bo's intentions, but said vaguely, "It's possible!" After the 400,000 troops preparing for night attacks, they were all energetic after dinner, and were eager to try, waiting to go to war. Wang Ben felt that the time was ripe, so he ordered the left and right generals to consolidate their troops in the dark and lurked to Dang County.

It is said that it is lurking, and the 400,000 army marchs, it is like the earth shaking mountains and rivers swaying. There will be no sound there. Just the sound of 400,000 pairs of shoes treading on the ground mixed together, which is enough to make the ground tremble and tremble, and the city walls of Dang County tremble thirty miles away.

Some of the Chu troops in Dang County had already had a sense of induction, but they were not sure, and they felt that the roar was quite strange from afar. Until the four Qin troops arrived ten miles away from the city, they suddenly lit a torch, illuminating the entire sky. The entire sky suddenly turned like a red pot bottom, and the hot black smoke rose into the air in a ball of murderous aura. The air in Dang County solidified like a piece of ice, and the soldiers in the city were so nervous that they could not breathe.

The Qin army galloped ten miles away and made it difficult for the Chu army to deal with. This short period of time was not enough for them to prepare for the battle. The oil was not boiling, and the millstones didn't have time to lift the horse. Although the rolling wood and rocks were piled up like mountains, the soldiers who had just opened their sleepy eyes could not move.

The Qin army had already been holding back their energy, and immediately shouted at the bottom of the city, and they started to attack the city with wolves. Arrows on the top of the city were raining like rain, but the rain of arrows on the top of the city became even stronger. The Chu army, who were in a hurry, fell down one after another, panicked. The reason was that no one was in command of the enemy. Xiang Guan had been thinking of countermeasures in the commander's mansion, and had just lie on the counter at the time of Hai. Xiang Xiang felt guilty because of his defeat in the last battle, and this time he was even more diligent. He had eaten and lived with the soldiers for many days, and never left the city wall. But tonight, he felt exhausted and went to the tent under the city to take a nap. Unexpectedly, the Qin army suddenly broke out like a flood.

When Xiang Xiang heard the soldiers report that the Qin army was attacking the city from all sides and running up the city wall from the tent, the Qin army outside the city was already covered with the open space outside the city like black ants. Hundreds of thousands of heads were boundless, making him feel breathless immediately. A large number of fearless Qin troops had already climbed the city tower along the ladder. The Chu army on the top of the city was busy throwing wooden rolling stones and shooting arrows vertically. The Qin army was wailing and being pressed down again and again, and was more violent than the attacks again and again. With the rumbling sound, dozens of stone-fired carts pushed to the moat, and countless huge rocks weighing forty or fifty kilograms were roaring from bottom to top, and they were running to the top of the city with perfect arcs. The horse path at the top of the city suddenly accumulated like mountains, and dead bodies were everywhere. Even the generals wearing helmets could not escape the bad luck.

The evil ghost howling brought him into the deepest part of the eighteen levels of hell!

Two rushing cars had already arrived at the city from the floating bridge and began to hit the city gate violently. The city gate, which was as high as two meters and eight inches thick, began to shake in the earth-shaking impacts. The mud and sand and stone chips fell down in a scramble, and the door frame made a crisp sound of crackling and broken. The Qin army shouted trumpets, held up their shields, and pushed the rushing cars, two and three times, ten times, with a loud "boom", one of the two thick and solid city gates fell to the ground, and the other was pushed to the blue-gray stone wall by an incomparable huge force, and suddenly hit a piece of powder, falling to the ground one after another. Then the rushing cars retreated, and the cavalry of Qin rushed in. The Chu army that was shooting archers on the city wall stopped shooting, picked up the swords, spears, spears, and spears standing beside them, rushed down to the city gate-

Xiang Xiang saw all this, but could not do anything because he came up too late, everything happened too quickly, and the Qin army's troops were too strong.

The shouts from all directions gradually gathered like a corner in the middle. Xiang Xiang finally understood that it was not only the south gate that was broken through, but all the city gates on all sides were taken down.

He was riding his horse quickly to the coach's mansion, preparing to pull Xiang Guan and escape with him to Qi County to join his uncle Xiang Bo.

Xiang Guan wiped a pale and bright sword with strong wine. He wanted to use this sword to kiss his neck and end his life. It was time to end everything. The Xiang family army was finished, the Western Chu business was finished, and the eldest brother Xiang Yu was about to finish, and all his dreams were over.

The moment Xiang Xiang rushed into the commander's mansion, the cold sword edge had already touched the white and tender skin on Xiang Guan's neck, and the red blood dripped from the tip of the sword along the slippery sword edge.

"Slow, slow!" Xiang Xiang rushed up and held the sword body. Blood also flowed out from his fingers and palms! It was all hot blood, and white smoke was emitting.

"It's not the time to die yet! The overlord is still alive, Chencheng is still in our hands, Kuaiji is still in our hands, Qi County is still in our hands, and uncle Xiang Bo is still alive. He must have a way to save the crisis. How can you commit suicide!" Xiang Xiang Xiang pulled Xiang Guan up from the ground.

"Dang!" Xiang Guan's sword fell to the ground, and he knelt down again, cried bitterly, beat his chest, and cried like blood; "I'm sorry to the people of Chu, I'm sorry to the King of Western Chu, and I'm sorry to the ancestors of the Xiang family, I can't defend the city!" Tears poured out like springs.

Xiang Xiang is younger than Xiang Guan. He doesn't think so, so he will keep the green mountains and there and there will be no worry about no firewood. As long as the King of Western Chu is still there, it is not impossible to make a comeback. As long as the eight thousand soldiers are still there, even if they return to Kuaiji and Wuxian, they will make a comeback one day.

"The King of Chu is still alive, how can we die? Our brothers have never experienced any dangers after following the King of Chu in the south and north over the years. When the second uncle Xiang Liang was killed by Zhang Han, even Emperor Yi believed that the great cause of anti-Qin could not be successful. The 400,000 Qin army surrounded Julu, and the situation was critical. However, when the King of Western Chu arrived, the situation immediately reversed. The Qin army was defeated and Zhang Han surrendered, Henoi was captured, Hexi was captured, and we went to Hangu Pass! Think about it, how powerful it was. Today's danger is no more than the second uncle was killed. Don't be discouraged. Let's break out of the siege with me and we go to see the King of Hangu."

Xiang Xiang's words are reasonable and well-founded, and he keeps burying Xiang Guan's heart. Yes, the things in front of him are not broken than when Xiang Liang died, so why should I commit suicide?
Chapter completed!
