Chapter 45 Capture of Chencang

Xiang Yu easily occupied the west gate of Chencang, and then opened the gate to welcome a hundred elite cavalry outside the city. At this time, the defenders in Chencang also realized that something was not quite right, but everything was over.

It was too late, so Xiang Yu immediately mounted his horse and rushed to the thunder, holding the thunder gun, and led a group of cavalry to charge towards the south gate of Chencang.

After Xiang Yu captured the west gate of Chencang, he lit the fire above the city gate, so that part of his cavalry to the south began to detour through the west gate to enter the city. At this time, Bian Zhang also happened to stay in Chencang City, although Chencang's position was very important.

But he obviously didn't expect that Xiang Yu would come to the south of Chencang in such a sudden way and quietly, and also launch a surprise attack under the cover of night.

"General Bian, the west gate has been breached. There is a fierce general rushing forward. No one can stop him. He is heading towards the south gate. I'm afraid the south gate won't be able to hold on for long!" At this time, Bian Zhang was awakened from his sleep.

Not long after he woke up, there was an unknown fire in his heart. He was just about to get angry at the adjutant in front of him, but when he heard that Xiang Yu had led his army to attack the city, he felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head.

The anger was completely extinguished, and even made him shiver.

"What did you say?" Bian Zhang's voice was full of surprise and even fear. "How could Ximen be breached so easily? What are you guys doing?"

The adjutant hunched his head and did not dare to look at Bian Zhang. He thought that Bian Zhang was going to be angry with him, so he was prepared to bear the anger. However, there seemed to be no anger in Bian Zhang's tone. He was slightly startled, and then

Said: "There is a secret passage under the west gate. Not many people knew about it. Who would have expected that guy to be able to find such a secret place, but in the end they attacked and took the west gate."

"What a waste! What a waste! What a complete waste!" Bian Zhang finally got angry. He picked up a bundle of bamboo slips and threw them at the adjutant in front of him.

At this time, another spy reported outside the gate, saying that the south gate was already in danger. The general saw only the flickering firelight in the darkness, and the leader rushed out, a man who looked about twenty years old.

The young tiger general rode a black divine horse on his hip. He was extremely fast and fierce. He held a spear in his hand. No one could stop him wherever he went. Several guards who were also very brave fought with him, but the results were all in vain.

In the next round, they were all beheaded by their horses, and others around them did not dare to come forward after seeing them.

Bian Zhang heard that there was such a fierce general who was like a god descending from the earth, and he had no intention of resisting at all, so he called the adjutant to his side and quietly discussed the escape strategy with him.

Not long after, Bian Zhang led a group of close men and dozens of horses around him and took advantage of the night to leave the north gate of Chencang and head straight to the west. However, he no longer cared about whether Han Sui's front troops were behind Chencang.

He would be cut off from the food path. At this moment, he was extremely frightened and had only one thought in his mind, and that was to run as far as he could. After all, he only had one life, so why not worry about running out of firewood to keep the green hills?

Bian Zhang just led a group of people and ran out of the north gate of Chencang in embarrassment, but saw some fires faintly appearing in the distance to the north. He was shocked and thought that there was actually an army coming from the north. They really wanted to create a dragnet!

Fortunately, he acted decisively and made the decision to escape as early as possible. Otherwise, if it were a little later, he might not be able to escape even if he wanted to. He immediately ordered everyone to extinguish the torches in their hands, and then fled towards the west without losing their heads.

.

But they said that the troops approaching from the north were none other than the two thousand cavalry led by Sun Jian. When Sun Jian led his troops to the north gate of Chencang, they encountered almost no resistance. The soldiers in the city fled in panic.

After encountering Sun Jian's troops, they surrendered directly. It was almost dawn at this time, and the sound of roosters crowing from the city could even be heard in the distance.

After Sun Jian led his army into the city, he discovered that Chencang City had already been occupied by Xiang Yu. When Sun Jian saw this, his face turned gloomy. He secretly sighed that he had lost to this junior again, but after all, occupying Chencang was considered a victory.

It was a good thing that he accepted Xiang Yu's invitation and came to the palace in the city to discuss with Xiang Yu.

Seeing that Sun Jian had a strange expression on his face, Xiang Yu didn't say anything. Instead, he took the initiative to toast Sun Jian and said that Sun Jian had arrived with his troops in time. Sun Jian was feeling angry, but he also gave Xiang Yu a glass of wine in return, and then

He threw away his hands and left the mansion. When Xiang Yu saw this, he was not angry. He just asked someone to bring out good wine and had a hearty drink with all the soldiers.

After Sun Jian left, he became more and more angry. Early the next morning, he led his two thousand cavalry out of the east gate of Chencang City, preparing to strike first. Since Xiang Yu fell behind in attacking Chencang, he would intercept and kill Han Suitong later.

He was going to take the lead on the grain road to the east. At least he would make some military exploits so that he wouldn't fall behind Xiang Yu.

In fact, Sun Jian has been a soldier all his life, and he is not a completely incapable person, but it is strange to say that he does not know if he is in conflict with Xiang Yu. Anyway, after seeing Xiang Yu, he felt that he was very difficult to deal with. At first, he really felt that

It is impossible for Xiang Yu to have much ability at such a young age. He underestimated and looked down on Xiang Yu. However, he was defeated by Xiang Yu head-on and was defeated miserably in front of so many people. His own views on Xiang Yu and the strength shown by Xiang Yu made him

My heart couldn't help but become a little twisted.

Now he is completely in a state of anger. He has to look for opportunities to regain his position at all costs. Originally, he thought that this attack on Chencang City was a very good opportunity for him, and he even chose to attack Chencang City here.

The attack on Chencang was launched that night, but Xiang Yu was still just a little bit late.

Although he was a little surprised that Xiang Yu captured Chencang City so easily, he still believed that if he had arrived earlier, he would have been able to capture Chencang more easily than Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu was just lucky!

Xiang Yu didn't seem so anxious. He spent three days drinking and chatting with his soldiers after capturing Chencang City. He didn't care at all about Sun Jian leading his army to leave. In his opinion, since Sun Jian chose to lead his army to the east

If he leaves, then he will lead his army to the west.

Although Han Sui's main force was unable to rescue him in time in the east at this time, the rebels actually numbered hundreds of thousands, but because their front was quite long, there was some disconnect between the front and rear. Once they were gathered together,

Still has some strength.

Xiang Yu has been waiting for an opportunity these days. On the one hand, the rapid march in the past few days has made the soldiers very tired. If he rushes to the south at this time, it will be unbearable for the soldiers. On the other hand, he is observing from

The situation of the rebels to the west.

Until this day, judging from the information learned from the spies, the rebels in the west did not seem to have any intention to retake Chencang. This surprised Xiang Yu. He actually did not expect that Bian Zhang would be involved in this battle.

Having been beaten by Xiang Yu, he completely lost his courage. He did not dare to attack Xiang Yu easily. Instead, he prepared to hold on to the city and be prepared for another sudden attack by Xiang Yu at any time. After all, he was suddenly woken up in the middle of the night and found out

The enemy has already reached the city, and even captured the city where his army was stationed in less than one night. Who can bear this?
