Chapter 156: Capture of Shangcai

Baizhong considered that Chu's army was halfway across and attacked him, so he was the first to charge in. He used his own strength, coupled with the combat power of short soldiers and iron eagle warriors, to clear a bloody path for the army behind.

Xiang Liang has only more than 20,000 people here.

As long as we cross the river smoothly, this is not worth mentioning.

Soon, all the Chu soldiers on the shore retreated in fear.

He was not afraid of the Qin army, but of Baizhong.

They saw with their own eyes that as long as Bai Zhong's sword was raised, one of his colleagues would definitely fall. Sometimes one sword would kill one person, sometimes two people, or even three people could be killed with one sword.

horrible!

This Qin general is so terrifying!

The soldiers led by Bai Zhong killed more and more fiercely, and instantly penetrated deep into the Chu army.

Bai Zhong is not the only person who is equally scary.

The short soldiers led by Ying Shu and the sharp soldiers led by Geng Wu all killed people like crazy. The more they killed, the more excited they became.

"Follow the general quickly!"

Meng Tian shouted, took ten thousand of his men, and rushed out from the pontoon first.

Next, Wang Li also led troops to land.

The longer Baizhong delayed, the more Qin troops came to the shore.

After a while, the soldiers led by Zhang Tang and Ren Xiao also landed on land. The sailors on the warships disembarked one after another and attacked the Chu army from all directions. The blood quickly dyed the sand by the river red and blended into it.

Into the river.

Xiang Liang looked at the Qin army from a distance and saw that the river bank was completely lost. He was completely defeated in this battle. He shouted helplessly: "Retreat all and enter the city!"

If they don't retreat, they may all die here, and no one will be able to leave.

The first time he led an army alone in battle, he faced the ruthless Bai Zhong and suffered such a miserable defeat, which Xiang Liang could not have imagined.

But when retreating, Xiang Liang took one last look at Bai Zhong from a distance, and secretly thought to himself, I will definitely defeat you in the future, I must defeat you!

Today's defeat is only temporary.

When the Chu army received the order to retreat, they scrambled to leave, fearing that they would be killed if they walked too slowly, so they all retreated to Xiang Cai's side.

Bai Zhong did not pursue, but occupied the shore first. When he saw Li Xin and Zhang Han coming with their troops, he ordered: "Go and attack the city!"

He was responsible for leading the troops to forcibly cross the river, while Li Xin and others were responsible for attacking the city.

The two parts of the Qin army, operating separately, can be seamlessly connected without giving the Chu army a chance to rest.

"Siege the city!"

Zhang Han shouted first.

Their men only lost more than a thousand people, and the remaining thirty thousand people advanced directly to Shangcai.

The building trucks, rush cars and other things were too tall and bulky to cross the river on the pontoon bridge, so they only had ladders.

The Chu army had just withdrawn into the city, and before they had time to rest, the Qin army immediately came to attack the city again.

Xiang Liang could only respond in panic.

Of the more than 20,000 people he took out just now, only more than 5,000 came back. There were originally more than 10,000 guards in the city, and now they were desperately defending the city.

This is how the siege started.

The method used by the Qin army was the simplest and crudest attack.

Pass the ladder and attack up.

Bai Zhong did not participate in the siege. He restrained his fighting spirit and rage, simply wiped the blood on his face, and then asked the soldiers to harvest heads, ears and other things in order to count the war achievements.

"how did you do it?"

Ying Shu came over and asked.

Bai Zhong asked her curiously: "How to do what?"

Ying Shu asked: "When I kill the enemy, as long as I stand next to you, my whole person will be different."

It turned out that this was what she asked. Bai Zhong smiled, but the smile with blood on his face looked scary, and explained: "Because you saw me taking the lead and being so brave, which boosted morale, and you were unknowingly influenced by me.

It has become different, Wang Li, do you think so?"

"yes!"

Wang Li had long felt strange, but could not find any other reason.

Meng Tian agreed: "I think the general has influenced us invisibly."

Zhang Tang and the others recalled that they had the same situation when they first fought with Bai Zhong, but they all agreed with the explanation given by Bai Zhong and nodded one after another.

Ying Shu: "..."

Forget it, she definitely couldn't find out the reason, so she didn't bother to ask any more. She handed the halberd to a short soldier and sat on the ground to rest. Just now, she followed Bai Zhong to kill the enemy crazily. This was the first time she had fought so crazily.

You will feel very tired after stopping.

Baizhong walked towards Shangcai and saw that the siege of the city had completely begun.

Zhang Han and Li Xin had good commanding abilities and quickly gained the upper hand.

The Chu army had just lost a battle, and their morale was almost negative. Even if they were given more tools to defend the city, it would be difficult to defend the city. The Qin army kept climbing to the top of the city tower, killing the Chu army and retreating steadily.

"Abandon the city!"

Xiang Liang had to make this decision.

Shangcai definitely couldn't defend it, so they quickly opened the east gate and fled in embarrassment towards Chencheng.

As for Pingyu near Shangcai, no need to think about it, it is impossible to defend it.

Xiang Liang's father, Xiang Yan, was already on his way to Chencheng. He thought that if he went to join his father, he might be able to defend Chencheng and the other half of Huaiyang, so that it would not be completely captured by the Qin army.

As soon as they exited Shangcai, Zhang Han and others rushed to the city gate and asked people to open the gate.

Shangcai was lost!

"General, the city gate is open!"

Zhang Tang said quickly.

This siege ended in less than an hour.

Bai Zhong shouted: "Enter the city!"

After a while, the Qin army occupied Shangcai.

Zhang Tang, Ren Xiao and others went to hunt down some of the remaining soldiers.

Others led troops to guard various towers and dispose of the corpses inside and outside the city.

Bai Zhong asked the military judge to count the battle achievements, then walked to the tower, spread out the map and continued to study the strategy below.

"After you win Shangcai, the next step is Pingyu."

"I think the Chu army will no longer defend Pingyu and will put its main force in Chencheng to deal with us."

Ying Shu came over to look at the map and expressed her thoughts: "Only by capturing Chen City can we capture the entire Huaiyang. The Chu army will not let us succeed easily."

Bai Zhong didn't expect that the female man would still analyze the strategy. He glanced at her with admiration and said: "If I were the general of Chu, I would give up Pingyu and gather in Chencheng to resist us with all my strength, but I can't win Chencheng."

It’s not difficult, your Majesty said, right?”

Xiong Qi stood aside and watched them study the strategy. Hearing this, he said: "General, why don't you give Chen Cheng to me?"

"What are you going to do, Your Majesty?"

"My method is not to fight! It is to go into the city to persuade them to surrender."

Xiong Qi also had his own plan and said: "I also know that the king wants me to prove my loyalty. General Bai and Princess should also be a little suspicious of me. Chen Cheng will leave it to me to prove my innocence. I can go to the city to persuade him to surrender and assist."

General Bai and Princess captured Huaiyang."

Bai Zhong put away the map and agreed: "Then Chen Cheng will trouble your Majesty to persuade you to surrender, but before going to Chen City, I must capture Pingyu first. That's it!"

"General, something happened!"
