Ying Bu had already entered the city at this time.

Street battles in Xingyang City are underway.

Fireworks were everywhere in Xingyang City, and the sound of killing sounds shook the sky. The Chu army at the three gates in the northeast and south were almost trampled by the Qin army without any precautions. No one knew how the Qin army "flyed" in. Only Lu Matong knew.

After Tu Gangqiu left the city, although Xia Ye was awakened, he was in a daze and almost didn't even have the strength to stand. Lu Matong was very considerate of him and asked him to rest in the tent for a while, and went to the city to command the battle himself.

Ying Bu's cavalry arrived at the city and rushed straight into the moat. The arrows on the city tower were raining, and the Qin army was forced to retreat. While Lu Matong ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows, he lit up ten thousand cavalry indignation and went out of the city to fight the Qin army. The suspension bridge was lowered, and the city gate was opened. Lu Matong rushed out with the cavalry.

As the commander-in-chief, Lu Matong was passionate and looked back at death before leaving the city. However, as soon as the war horses stepped out of the city gate, they were still three or five feet away from the Qin army, they shouted loudly, "If you lose, the Chu army will be defeated, hurry up, withdraw."

On the battlefield, the war drums, horns, shouts, and screams were already in a mess. Ten thousand Chu cavalry were in a state of tension when facing a war. Where can we tell the truth of the news. Since the general said he was defeated, he would be defeated.

The cavalry suddenly turned around and crowded into the city. How could it be too late? The Qin army had already held their tails, and tens of thousands of blades touched the back of the back before they remembered to turn around. This move was no different from suicide.

Having said that, Lu Matong himself was not at ease.

The Chu army retreated frantically into the city. The Qin army squeezed the Chu army into the moat layer by layer like harvesting crops. The entire river was soon silted. The most terrible thing was that the Chu army ran into the city regardless of everything, and the soldiers in the city could not pull up the suspension bridge or close the city gate. Countless bloody Qin soldiers rushed in.

The defenders of the West Gate were in a hurry. Under the double impact of their own people and the Qin cavalry, the entire line quickly collapsed. The soldiers guarding the city towers shot arrows and threw away their bows and arrows, picked up iron halberds and spears and entered the inner city from the city wall to drive the Qin cavalry out. This idea is both childish and ridiculous. It is easy to ask for a god, but it is difficult to send a god!

The confrontation between infantry and cavalry was nothing to notice. The fierce war horses and brutal Qin army launched a high-level massacre against the Chu army jumping up and down on the ground. Wherever the iron hooves went, their bones were broken and their tendons were broken, and they were tragically killed. Only the four words "destroying and rotting" could describe the tragic moment.

In less than half an hour, Ximen was fully controlled by Ying Bu. Lu Matong led a team of personal soldiers under his command to turn against each other. First, he rushed into Ximen camp, resulting in the life of his "righteous brother" Xia Ye. Xia Ye's eyes were filled with stars and lying on the table. He heard the neighing of the war horses outside the tent. Just as he was about to get up, Lu Matong rushed in with blood. Xia Ye asked with his tongue, "Lu, brother, something happened-" Lu Matong nodded, "What happened, go quickly." Xia Ye turned around to get the weapon, Lu Matong swept across the sword, and a blood-colored head rolled out of the tent.

Lu Matong didn't even look at it. This person was not worthy of pity. At such a critical moment, drinking and mistakes were all seeking death. Lu Matong took the knife and came out of the tent: "Get on the horse and go to the east gate!"

Ying Bu had already rushed to the North Gate at this time. Before the war started, Wang Zhu had instructed that the main army would enter the city from the North Gate because it was closest to the river. In this sudden killing, the Qin army was like a whirlwind sweeping fallen leaves, and the casualties were not very large. Ying Bu was brave and invincible in fighting. When he arrived at the North Gate, the soldiers were still maintaining strong physical strength.

The Chu army at the North Gate had no idea what was going on. The soldiers who were ready to fight suddenly felt the murderous aura behind them, and their bodies were so excited that they were cold and cold, and a bloody smell rushed towards the sky. They hurriedly turned around and looked, and saw a red light in the distance, with torches and blood mist everywhere, and the war horses rushed toward like thunder and lightning.

"What's going on? What's going on? Could it be that other city gates have been lost?" Ren Jun, the general in charge of defending the north gate, shouted with his fist hitting the city wall with his fist.

"Hurry up, welcome the enemy, welcome the enemy, all the people go down to the city, cavalry, and the cavalry at the city gate set off to block the attack-" Ren Jun shouted while rushing down to the city.

Due to defensive practice, a team of cavalry will be placed at the entrance of the four gates of each city. The number will not be too large, one thousand to two thousand people. These people are prepared to go out of the city to fight, or break through and escape when the city breaks. Many times they are just decorations.

How could one or two thousand cavalry resist the impact of 70,000 Qin soldiers? It was like a wheel crushing a mantis. In an instant, two thousand cavalry were stepped into powder.

Ren Jun went to the city to grab a horse and rushed into the formation. Tens of thousands of infantry and fortification soldiers behind him rushed with him, and the city suddenly became a meat and flesh jar. Ren Jun had just rushed into the Qin cavalry formation, and a black-faced man came towards him, with a copper head and iron forehead, with a wide eyes wide open, and his whole body looked like a Vajra Tower. It was King Yingbu of Jiujiang. Yingbu screamed with an iron halberd in his hand, which scared Ren Jun so much that he fell off his horse. Who wouldn't know that Yingbu was the second general of the Chu army, cruel and ruthless, Wu * Gaishi, Ren Jun was just a small captain, how dare he compete with him?

Ying Bu originally wanted to let Ren Jun go, but the situation was too chaotic. When Ren Jun dropped his horse, he immediately surrounded him by more than a dozen Qin cavalrymen, and his iron spear was poked. The North Gate was quickly occupied by the entire line without the commander. Ying Bu ordered people to open the city gate and lower the suspension bridge.

Chen Xi, Fan Kuai, and Canghai Jun had more than 100,000 troops and drove into the west gate without any resistance. Wang Zhu's follow-up troops had already reached five miles away from the north gate. The dense sound of horse hooves came from all directions into Ying Bu's ears, climbed up to the city tower, and looked around the fields with fires everywhere. The Qin people had filled Xingyang City.

Wang Zhu was very satisfied with this battle. He basically solved the battle before he entered the city as expected. The remaining sporadic resistance was like small stones in front of the sea-like Qin army. When thrown in, it disappeared forever.

Thirty-five thousand men swept the city overnight, searching all corners and corners, and all the surviving Chu troops were killed. At dawn, the war was basically over, leaving only countless heads, corpses, and blood to prove the tragic night. These aftermath work will take about one to two days to complete, and Wang Zhu will not pay attention to it. He is concerned about the position of Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu.

The work of cleaning the battlefield is in full swing. Wang Zhu and a group of generals are beginning to study new defenses. According to the latest information, Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, has arrived in Dingtao at this moment, just one step away from Xingyang.

The huge victory of the sneak attack on Xingyang gave the Qin army a shot of stimulant. The soldiers' morale was high, unlike before, when they heard Xiang Yu's name, they were urinating. In response to this situation, Wang Aoju should take the initiative.

"In the past, there were many reasons why our army lost Xingyang several times, but the most important point was the mistakes in the general strategic direction of our army." Wang Ao said with emotion.

Li Zuo Drive; "I wish to hear the details!"

Wang Ao said, "Our army gains and loses three times against Xingyang. In my opinion, it is all caused by passive defense. Xiang Yu is extremely brave. Our soldiers are terrified of being afraid of fighting. Over time, they have developed the habit of avoiding fighting, as if it is natural. This time, we must take the initiative to attack and give Xiang Yu a warning. Fan Zeng is gone, and I am sure that he will fall into the trap."

Chen Ping said; "Although Xiang Yu is stubborn and cruel, he is still flexible in commanding and fighting. He often has a good understanding of military affairs. The Prime Minister must not underestimate him."

Wang Ao smiled and said, "How could I underestimate the dignified King of Western Chu? I just thought of Xiang Yu's fatal hole last night."

Wang Zhu said anxiously, "Sir, tell me quickly." Wang Ao shook his sleeves and walked under the huge map hanging on the wall, pointing to a river channel drawn with red strokes: "Honggou! This is the Honggou. This is the lifeline of Western Chu!"

Wang Zhu looked at Li Zuoche Lane; "Can you understand more by saying anything?"

Wang Ao said, "Honggou was dug in the tenth year of King Hui of Wei. It reached Xingyang in the north and Suiyang in the south, leading the Yellow River to flow into Yingchuan. On the way, it connects eight major rivers, including Jishui, Pu River, Bian River, Sui River, Ru River, Si River, etc., and flows through six counties including Xingyang, Zhongmu, Kaifeng, Tongxu, Taikang, and Huaiyin. It is a direct channel between the Yellow River and the Huai River, and it is the only north-south river connecting the Western Chu and the Three Jins. With it, the Yellow River and Huai River, the Si River can join forces. With it, the people of Pengcheng, Qianzhong and Chencheng can have enough food and clothing and have a good harvest."

Wang Zhu was confused when he heard it. Li Zuoche had already understood it.

Li Zuoche nodded and followed Wang Ao's thoughts, "Since Xiang Yu started his army, he has fought south and north, and there are two main grain transport routes. The first is to transport grain from Dingtao and Puyang for generations. In addition, grain transport routes are transported through the Honggou water route. From Sishui to Jishui, Huaiyin and Taikang in Western Chu, the grain from the front line has been continuously transported to the front line to provide supplies. At present, the old places of the Wei Kingdom, Xingyang, Kaifeng, and Zhongmu are all under the control of our army. Wang Ling and Yuan Sheng's troops have even more guarded the "Feihukou" and "Baimajin" to the south of Ao Cang, west of Kaifeng, and "Baimajin". It can be said that Xiang Yu's water routes and grain routes are no longer open."

Wang Zhu smiled and said, "There is Peng Yue on land. As long as Xiang Yu's army passes through Dingtao, Peng Yue will immediately cross the Yellow River and cut off his food route in Dong'a's generation. This person will be stopped! Haha!"

Wang Ao smiled bitterly and shook his head; "It's not that simple, and the king was happy that it was a little earlier. My plan was indeed to make a fuss about the gap, but he didn't have to cut off his food route."

Wang Zhu felt very embarrassed, her face turned red and she coughed, "Then, tell me, how do you want to deal with him?" Wang Ao said; "There are two strategies. The first one should be handled quickly, and the second one can be done slowly."

Wang Zhu made a tidy body in the seat: "Say!"

Wang Ao said, "First, the king went to Ao Cang to fill the defenses of Kaifeng, Zhongmu and other places. Be sure to guard the Feihukou and the Baimajin as solid as a soup, which gave Xiang Yu the illusion that our army would cut off his food route. The king imagined, what would Xiang Yu do?" Wang Zhu blurted out; "Of course, the commander soldiers went to Feihukou to fight to the death."

Wang Ao said, "Just let him go to Feihukou. The terrain there is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is much more complicated than Xingyang, and it is extremely beneficial to our army. As long as our army is on Feihukou and holds Xiang Yu for a month, Guan Ying's army will probably capture Gaomi and go deep into Western Chu. At that time, Xiang Yu came to Xingyang, and advance or retreat, just like a horse's hooves sinking into the mud. The more he struggles, the faster he sinks, and the king will surely win."

Wang Zhu said, "Okay, but I still want to hear your second plan."

Chen Ping thought to himself, I have probably guessed these two strategies, but I can't say that the Prime Minister must not offend him.

Wang Ao said, "When Xiang Yu withdraws his troops to attack Guanying and Wang Ben, they probably have gained a foothold in the State of Chu. Xiang Yu will not be able to do anything in a short period of time. At this time, Xiang Yu needs food and grass the most. I calculated that it was the harvest season in July and August. The king could build a dam upstream of the Gangou to block the water flow and block the river. This move could make the entire Western Chu grain without food and grass. What would you do to compete with you for the world?"

Wang Zhu thought to himself that he had known before that the Gang of Gang could separate the world, but he didn't expect that there would be such a wonderful use, which was great.

Wang Zhu looked at the strategists and generals arranged in the hall and asked, "What do you think?" Fan Kuai and Canghai Jun were all rough people, and they were the bravest soldiers in the battle to kill the enemy. When it comes to strategy, they really had no strategy and kept silent. Li Zuoche and Chen Ping were obviously meaningless. However, Ying Bu looked like he wanted to speak but stopped.

Wang Zhu said, "The King of Huainan seems to have something to say." Ying Bu stood up, bent down and bowed, and said respectfully; "King, the Prime Minister wants to cut off the water source of Western Chu. Then, if I go back to Jiujiang, wouldn't I be hungry?"

Wang Zhu doesn't understand geography and can't answer.

Wang Ao laughed and said, "This is not the case. My plan is to let Guan Ying and Wang Ben conquer Pengcheng, Xiaoxian, Qingxian, Qiaoxian and Kuxian in Western Chu and use this as base to block Xiang Yu's army north of the Yangtze River, about near Chencheng. This generation of residents lived by the water source of the gulf. In the early years, I had inspected the mountains and rivers here and had an in-depth understanding of the source of the river. It would be absolutely impossible to be wrong. The mission of the King of Huainan was to invade Jiujiang, Huainan, Lu'an, Chengfu. I mean, the King of Huainan would be best to set up the base in "Shouchun", so that King of Huainan, Wang Ben, Da Wang, and Dong Yi of South Korea could form a situation of surround Xiang Yu on all sides. Xiang Yu would become a tiger in an iron cage with fangs and sharp claws and nowhere to show his power."

Wang Zhu suddenly sighed and said in a deep voice, "The wife of King Huainan - is the daughter of King Hengshan, right!"

Ying Bu's tiger's body shook, and his face turned white: "Madam--" The tiger's eyes were wet and almost burst into tears.

"I will go to Zedu to meet him!" Ying Bu's tone was very dissatisfied with his father-in-law.
