The general is wise and mighty

The first wave of offensive was terminated by Xiang Yu himself at dawn. Xiang Ji led the attacking soldiers back to the woods in some embarrassment. The soldiers were all burned with a few holes, and many People's faces were blackened or burned.

Xiang Yu sat beside An Sheng in silence, and the woods were silent.

An Sheng took a peek at Xiang Ji, unable to see any emotion, and beckoned the sophomore to come over.

"military adviser."

"Have you ever been like this?" An Sheng whispered.

"There have been cases where it took three days to fight." The sophomore also answered in a low voice.

An Sheng nodded, waved his hand to tell the sophomore to stand back, feeling a little better.Zhang Liang ran over and called An Sheng aside: "Brother An, did the general say anything?"

"No, why?"

"Earlier, Brother An and Liang discussed that Yunxiang City's fortified barriers were difficult to break through. Maybe the general felt a little timid because of this, and that's why he..." Zhang Liang secretly watched Xiang Ji's movements while talking.

An Sheng raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this, he quickly made a "shh" gesture to Zhang Liang, and went back to Xiang Ji by himself.

Xiang Yu was silent for a long time, An Sheng was thinking about how to speak, but was startled when Xiang Yu stood up abruptly.

Xiang Ji split a tall tree one foot thick with his palm and said, "Boys, follow the general to fight again!" After speaking, he grabbed Fang Tian's painted halberd and rushed out, followed by seven or eight hundred people.

The freshman's eyes were red, and he said in a rough voice, "Military division!"

An Sheng nodded helplessly: "Come with me." An Sheng meant to allow everyone to rest for a while, but An Sheng also understood Xiang Ji's meaning. While he was resting, the other party was also resting, so he still went to help him Share some of the strength of the Qin army in Xiangcheng.

An Sheng ran to the side gate of Xiangcheng with his [-] people, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Come on!" Then he rushed to the bottom of the city, startled the sophomore, and ran up quickly.

"Military teacher, please slow down." With a big long leg, he caught up with An Sheng in a few steps, "The general asked us to keep you safe, nothing can happen."

An Sheng was strangled by the sophomore and brought into the city gate.

"Stay here, military commander, and take care of the wounded." The sophomore finished his sentence, and threw flying claws together with the junior, and rushed towards the city.

Due to An Sheng's surprise, a few people did climb up the city wall at first, but unexpectedly, there were not many guards at the side gate of Xiangcheng.After a period of panic, an orderly attack was organized, and the Chu army was beaten back steadily, and they had to withdraw from the city wall.

An Sheng had seen a lot of people injured, and felt that he shouldn't stay under the city wall to cause trouble, so he ran into the woods with a wounded man who didn't look very heavy on his back.After finally arriving in the woods, he was almost exhausted and paralyzed, and the wounded on An Sheng's back was almost scared to death.As soon as An Sheng sat on the ground, he quickly rolled over from An Sheng's back, regardless of the injury on his leg.

An Sheng was taken aback, and quickly checked the wounded man's injuries. Fortunately, he was not aggravated. An Sheng settled him down, then found a leaf, put it between his lips and blew hard, and a short and sharp sound came from An Cheng's lips. issued in between.

This was the sound of the retreat agreed upon by An Sheng and his team members. Not long after, freshmen, first, second, third, and so on came to An Sheng's side one after another, with more or less injuries on their bodies.

And the city gate—still failed to be breached.

An Sheng counted the number of people and heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately no one died, otherwise it would be difficult to explain."

Junior said: "Since we follow the military division, we are the military division's people, and fighting for the military division is worth dying."

An Sheng raised his hand: "Don't say that, everyone is the same. It's worth it for yourselves." After speaking, he looked in the direction of Xiangcheng, feeling a little heavy in his heart, feeling—this shouldn't be an easy battle.

As expected by An Sheng, four days later, the city gates of Xiangcheng were still locked, without the slightest sign of being breached or surrendered, and there were so many corpses of Chu soldiers in the woods that there was almost no place to put them.

Xiang Ji already had many wounds on his body, nearly two-thirds of his soldiers were killed or injured, and the atmosphere of the whole team was a bit depressed.Even Xiang Yu sat on the side silently, rested for half an hour and continued to fight, but this time he was pulled down by An Sheng.

After four days, An Sheng was also in a state of distress, his coat was torn into strips and tied to the wounded sergeant, and he only had the inner coat on him.Even Yu Ji was no exception. She donated all the bedding and extra clothes in the carriage, leaving only a change of clothes.

An Sheng forced Xiang Yu to sit down, and began to lecture the soldiers of the Chu army: "You are going to attack Xiangcheng, right?"

"Yes." Sparse, with no morale at all.

An Sheng suddenly became angry: "If you haven't been in for four days, you're bored?! Where did the ambition to fight for the general go when you set off?! I have no power to restrain the chicken, what about you? He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and now he is defeated before he loses?!"

There was silence below.

An Sheng hadn't yelled like this for a long time, his brain couldn't keep up with the oxygen supply, his eyes turned black, he staggered a bit, and was supported by a pair of hands behind him, and he didn't need to look at An Sheng to know that it was Xiang Ji.

"You call me a military adviser, I have to be responsible to you. Look around you, how many dead brothers are there, you use such an attitude, are you worthy of them?! What about your love? What about righteousness? Eaten by dogs?! "An Sheng paused for two seconds, "Think about it for yourself!" Then he sat down heavily, the stone hurt his buttocks.

"Military division." There came a low voice, it was a junior, "ask again."

An Sheng glanced around for a full 2 ​​minutes before speaking again: "You are going to break through Xiangcheng, aren't you?!"

"Yes!" The momentum was like a rainbow

"Are you confident?"

"Have!"

"Are you listening to me?"

"listen!"

An Sheng glanced at Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu nodded in acquiescence to An Sheng's actions.

An Sheng commanded everyone: "Find the biggest tree and cut it down."

Without the time for a stick of incense, a big tree that cannot be hugged by one person was quietly placed in front of An Sheng.

An Sheng nodded: "Very good." Then he pulled Xiang Ji up and whispered, "It's your turn."

Xiang Ji had already learned of An Sheng's thoughts, and gave orders: "All the archers are divided into three groups, one group and one row, ready to set up the arrows, and the remaining 50 people are in a group, lift them up, and go to attack the city with the general!"

Hitting the door with wood was the last and most helpless solution, but An Sheng could no longer let his brothers die in vain, so he persuaded Xiang Ji after discussing with Zhang Liang.

Xiang Ji didn't bother to use this method at first, but An Sheng took her to the place where the dead soldiers were placed.There was no time for burial, and they all lay down on the ground one by one, silent in the howling cold wind.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Ji didn't say much, but agreed with An Sheng's approach.

As expected, people shot arrows or threw torches on the city wall, and the wounded attackers were immediately replaced and went back to bandage up. The Chu army on the city wall was soon ambushed by the Chu army in the bushes Archers get it done.

Counting from the day when the siege began, the most stupid method was adopted at nightfall on the fourth day, and at three o'clock on the fifth day the city gate was finally breached, and the soldiers of the Chu army immediately rushed in.

An Sheng woke up immediately when he heard the loud voice, and stood up to watch, but was hugged by the returning Xiang Zhuang, unable to move even a bit.

"Xiaozhuang? What are you doing?" An Sheng was surprised, why didn't he let himself go.

"Brother said he won't let you go." Xiang Zhuang strictly obeyed Xiang Ji's order and dragged An Sheng back.

An Sheng didn't think there was anything at first, so he let Xiang Zhuang stop him, and didn't want to have to go and have a look.But more than half an hour passed, and hearing the voice in the direction of Xiangcheng gradually decrease from loud to quiet, An Sheng had a bad premonition, and asked Xiang Zhuang: "Why won't the chicken let me go."

There was some blood oozing from Xiang Zhuang's arm, and he was changing the cloth, when he heard An Sheng's question, he shook his head: "I don't know, brother asked me to come back and stop you when he entered the city, or he wouldn't let you in no matter what. "

An Sheng lowered his head to think, then suddenly raised his head after a while, his eyes widened, he got up and ran to Xiangcheng, his heart was half cold.

"Hey!" Xiang Zhuang hadn't changed yet, when he was going to chase An Sheng, he tripped over a tree root on the ground, and watched An Sheng run away helplessly.

Running to the gate of Xiangcheng City, An Sheng unconsciously slowed down, stepped in, and saw the corpses of soldiers of the Qin Army everywhere, as well as their arms and legs that had been chopped off.

An Sheng could hear the voice from a distance ahead, so he walked along the road in the city, and the further he walked, the more frightened he became.

It was past four o'clock, which was supposed to be the time when every household was sleeping, and the gates were supposed to be closed, but An Sheng saw the gates of the houses on both sides of the street open.Originally, there was a glimmer of hope that the folk customs were simple, but then I thought about it, the army is overwhelming, and the city gates may be breached every minute and every second. Who would be so stupid as not to close the gates.

An Sheng walked to the door of a house, and smelled a strong smell of blood before entering the door.An Sheng resisted the vomit welling up in his throat, and took a look with his head.The sun rose late in early winter, An Sheng got used to the light for a while, and could vaguely see two figures lying on the bed, and when he got closer, they should be a pair of younger brothers.

An Sheng stretched out his hand and touched the two of them. It felt sticky to the touch, and he put it under his nose to smell it. It smelled fishy and sweet.

An Sheng took a step back, then jumped to the side of the bed a little out of control, and began to shake the person on the bed, but the temperature in his hands was gradually disappearing.

An Sheng ran out stumblingly, his hands were covered in blood, his clothes were also stained a lot, his eyes were full of helplessness and bewilderment.Mingming just made everyone excited to avenge the brothers, and rushed into Xiangcheng in one go, why did it become like this.

The further you go into the city, the more corpses there are on the streets. They are no longer dressed in Qin Bing, but in commoner clothes. Men and women are holding hoes, shovels, and even cooking spatulas in their hands. On the street, there is literally no place to set foot.

Every step An Sheng took seemed to be terribly frightened, and he rubbed his face helplessly as if trying to break this terrifying dream, so his face was also covered with blood.

Xiang Zhuang also ran into the city after An Sheng, and watched An Sheng run out of a residential house with blood on his hands.Originally Xiang Zhuang was a little frightened when he saw so many corpses, but after thinking about what Long Qi told him at the house of Yin Tong, the prefect of Kuaiji, Xiang Zhuang calmed down and followed An Sheng to prevent him from running away. leave.

An Sheng turned aimlessly when he saw the intersection, and basically turned around the whole city. Except for a few soldiers of the Chu army who were sitting on the ground resting, they didn't see a single person who originally belonged to Xiangcheng. Chickens, ducks, dogs, pigs, even the birds in the sky did not hear a cry.

An Sheng suddenly remembered the familiar scene at Yin Tong's house, the little maid who was running towards him reappeared in front of his eyes, covered in blood, her eyes full of hope, she stretched out her hand to him, An Sheng's eyes were dull He also stretched out his hand.But in the next moment, the little maid completely disappeared, and An Sheng returned to the present Xiangcheng before touching anyone.

An Sheng ran to the center of the city, turned a corner, and saw Xiang Ji, his double pupils were stained with blood, he was holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, and there was no clean spot on his face.

The two of them froze in place when they met, An Sheng's eyes widened, looking at Xiang Ji out of focus.

Xiang Ji also looked at An Sheng, and neither of them moved for a full 10 minutes.The blood in Xiang Ji's eyes slowly faded, he took a step towards An Sheng without looking at his bloody hands.

An Sheng took a step back unconsciously, and the two stalemate again.

An Sheng began to shake his head slowly and kept shaking his head, as if he couldn't believe it, and ran back.Xiang Yu immediately caught up, ran to An Sheng's side within a few steps, and grabbed his arm.

An Sheng yelled, "Don't touch me!"

Xiang Ji immediately took his hand away without saying a word.

An Sheng frowned and looked at Xiang Ji, but still shook his head, all the words were choked in his throat, unable to speak, and he could only choke out a few words for a long time: "You, why..."

Xiang Ji wanted to grab An Sheng's hand, but thought of what An Sheng said just now, so he held back: "They killed my Chu soldiers."

"So you killed their whole family?" An Sheng couldn't believe it, "There are also children and old people, what can you do?!"

Although An Sheng knew that Xiang Ji would slaughter cities, and more than one, he always reminded him to control his emotions, to control his emotions. Even when Yu Ji came, An Sheng hoped that she could change the tyranny in Xiang Ji's heart , But now it seems that nothing works, what should happen still happened.

"They make torches." Xiang Ji explained, this is what he saw when he rushed in.

Children, even if they are only four or five years old, hold a torch in their hand, and pass the burning ones up the tower one by one.It took Xiang Ji five days to successfully attack the city, and his men suffered heavy casualties. Immediately, his anger surged into his heart, and he killed without hesitation, but he still remembered to ask Xiang Zhuang to go back and stop An Sheng.

"Then how can you..." Deprive them of their lives like this.

An Sheng couldn't even finish his sentence, but he didn't pass out like he did in Kuaiji, but only sighed in the end.

An Sheng turned around and walked out of the city. At some point on both sides of the street, many soldiers from the Chu army surrounded the city. They also participated in the massacre of the city just now. Calm down and think, there is silence at this time.

"Xiao An..." Xiang Yu wanted to grab An Sheng's hand.

"Call me An Sheng." An Sheng's voice was not loud, but he was firm.

"An Sheng, you..." Xiang Ji didn't know what to ask An Sheng, and it seemed pointless to ask anything at this moment.

"Let me be quiet, don't talk to me yet." An Sheng was a little tired, obviously he had done so much, but he hoped that this kind of thing would not happen, even if it was not for Xiang Ji's reputation, it was for those innocent people who fought for their homeland common people.

But—

Useless.
