If Xiang Liang knew what was going to happen next, he would not have gone on the defensive even though he had twice as many troops as the Qin army and had a fortified city to rely on. But now he thinks that his plan is

It is very wise that the Qin army is stronger than the Chu army and can only defend against attack. When the Qin army is out of food and grass and the morale of the army is unstable, then you can take action and then you can win with the least casualties.

Just a few days before Xiang Liang arrived at Sishui County, Xiang Yu had already led about 20,000 troops to Donghai County. Because the Chu State was now worried about the invasion of the Qin army, they did not find Xiang Yu's troops.

They quietly left Jiujiang County and headed towards the East China Sea. The journey went smoothly, and soon the army arrived at the gate of Donghai County.

This is the third time Xiang Yu has come to Donghai County. The first time was when he led his men and horses to capture it from the Qin people during the uprising. The second time was when Donghai County fell due to the attack of the Qi people. In the end, Xiang Yu failed.

With more than 10,000 troops, he snatched it back. This was the third time, but his enemies were changed to Chu people. Thinking of this, Xiang Yu felt that Donghai County was indeed destined for him. He came here three times for

Capture it, and the enemies you face are different again.

The Chu army guarding the city had discovered this large army, but judging from their clothes, they thought they were their own. So they ordered people to close the city gate tightly and report to the garrison inside the city, and at the same time asked those with loud voices to face outside.

He shouted and asked: "Who is coming? Why are you coming to my Donghai County?" The voice reached the ears of Xiang Yu's army from a distance.

Xiang Yu looked at the waiting defenders and knew that the other side was already prepared, so he did not want to make any more surprise attacks and shouted flatly: "I am Xiang Yu. If you know the opportunity, open the city gate quickly and let me in. If not, just call

You will all die here one by one!" His voice was louder than that of the soldier with a loud voice just now, and it was like thunder in the ears of the soldiers guarding the city.

"Is he Xiang Yu?" "Why did Xiang Yu come to the East China Sea?" "I heard that he left Kuaiji with tens of thousands of troops because of a conflict with Ling Yin and the general in Kuaiji and occupied Jiujiang County." "I heard that he had a conflict with Ling Yin and the general.

Xiang Yu has bravery that no man can match, can we defend Donghai County?" Voices floated on the top of the city of Donghai County.

The sergeant was obviously shocked by Xiang Yu's fame, and the morale of the army was confused for a moment. At this moment, a tall figure wearing heavy armor, accompanied by a group of soldiers, climbed to the top of the city. He looked at Xiang Yu below

After the army inquired about what was going on, they immediately ordered the archers to take up positions, ready to fire arrows at the attacking Xiang Yu army.

Xiang Yu saw the look of the archers on the top of the city and knew that his words did not make the soldiers guarding the city want to surrender. But now that the army had been working hard on the road for days, he decided to rest for a day and then think of a solution. That's it.

He stopped the army in an open place five miles away from the city, set up camp and let the troops rest.

There were not many defenders in the city to begin with. Some of them were mobilized to deal with the invasion of the Qin people. Now there are less than 5,000 soldiers in the city. But when they saw there were 20,000 soldiers below, the soldiers guarding the city were shocked.

I felt frightened. Only the general guarding the city was completely frightened.

Not at all intimidated by Xiang Yu and his army, he squinted his eyes for a long time before saying: "It seems that Xiang Yu's soldiers and horses have been exhausted from far away. Now is the time for us to go out of the city and attack them head-on. Maybe this time

An unexpected battle can capture Xiang Yu alive."

"General Long, aren't you afraid that Xiang Yu deliberately lured you out of the city? Besides, I have few soldiers, so it's better to hold on." A general advised.

"I, Long Qie, also have the talent of a general, but I have never been reused. Now is the time for me to show my talents. As for this city, it is enough to have two thousand men and horses to guard it. I took three thousand men and horses out of the city to attack in the middle of the night.

." Long Qie said without any argument. The general also knew the general's character, so he could only sigh and stop persuading him.

It was late at night, and everything inside and outside the city was quiet. At this time, the originally closed city gate quietly opened a gap, and then countless soldiers walked out of the city, all with bamboo sticks in their mouths.

This is the mouthpiece,

This is to prevent someone from suddenly speaking during the night march and causing the enemy to discover his whereabouts. The three thousand men and horses moved very quickly, but also very quietly. There was only the rustling of feet on the ground. When they arrived in front of Xiang Yu's military camp

time, dragon

With a wave of his hand, he ordered the whole army to stop. Then he took off a bow from his back, mounted an arrow, and aimed at the night patrol soldiers walking back and forth outside the barracks. As soon as he loosened his hand, the arrow came with

A roar that broke through the air reached the sergeant.

, before he had time to react, the arrow had already been shot into his throat. As he fell, Long Qie waved his hand, and three thousand sergeants rushed towards the camp, and at the same time they lit the torches in their hands.

, then waved and threw it out.

The sound of torches burning in the air and the charging of soldiers finally woke up Xiang Yu's army from their sleep. But when they got up from the couch, they found that they were surrounded by fire. They immediately panicked and hurriedly rushed.

They put on their clothes and rushed out with weapons in their hands, but they were faced with Long Qie's men who were ready for battle. As soon as the two sides met, Xiang Yu's army was defeated steadily.

Fortunately, Xiang Yu's tents were spread out widely, and this raid only burned the tents of the front army. When the sergeants behind heard the shouts of killing, they hurriedly dressed up and came to the rescue with weapons in hand, and they blocked Long Qie's army in one fell swoop.

At this time, Xiang Yu also rushed out with a big sword. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but get angry. He thought about how he could influence the Chu army with his influence.

With the sound and status, even if the generals who defended the city did not open the city and surrender, they would only be able to defend passively. Unexpectedly, Long Qie would attack boldly, so he did not guard against the night attack. The losses would probably be great this time, Xiang Yu thought.

As a result of this physical pain, he shouted loudly and charged into the enemy army while wielding his knife. After a while, he chopped down several enemy soldiers to the ground.

Under the leadership of Xiang Yu, all the sergeants under his command woke up from their fear and rose up to resist. After all, Xiang Yu's men and horses were many times more than Long Qie's. Although they had the upper hand, they were still very weak.

The momentum was quickly regained, and coupled with Xiang Yu's lead, Long Qie, who had the advantage, was

The army gradually fell into a passive position. Soon Long Qie and Xiang Yu looked at each other. Seeing Long Qie's attire, Xiang Yu knew that he was the leader of this army, so he shouted and came towards Long Qie to kill Long Qie.

Seeing Xiang Yu's appearance, he didn't panic. He caught Xiang Yu's pocket with the ax in his hand.

Xiang Yu's inevitable sword strike was actually held up by Long Qie. He couldn't help but be stunned, but then he praised again: "Good!", followed by another sword strike. Long Qie relied on his immense strength to use the axe.

It was all made of copper, so he didn't panic, so he started fighting with Xiang Yu. For a while, the two of them were indistinguishable from each other.

Although Xiang Yu is now entangled by the dragon and cannot fight the enemy side by side with the army for a while, the numerical advantage of Xiang Yu's army has been fully reflected at this time. The three thousand troops who came out of the city to attack now have less than two thousand left.

people, and they have all been surrounded by Xiang Yu's army, and they should not be able to leave.

Long Qie took several blows from Xiang Yu and felt that he was no match for Xiang Yu. At the same time, he regretted seeing the troops he brought out being repeatedly killed by Xiang Yu's soldiers. He did not expect that Xiang Yu's army would be so powerful in combat.

If I had known this, it would have been better for me to follow the general's advice and defend Donghai County.

Xiang Yu and Long Qie fought for nearly thirty rounds before gaining some upper hand. Unconsciously, he felt sympathy for Long Qie and wanted to take him for his own use. Once he had this thought, Xiang Yu's sword

He no longer greeted Long Qie harshly, but showed some mercy. Xiang Yu no longer devoted himself wholeheartedly to the battle, and began to pay attention to the people he was fighting and the situation around him. The general in front of him looked a few years older than himself, but

Quesheng's Kong was powerful, with a double-edged ax in his hand that made him powerful, and his face was sharp and angular, showing the true qualities of a man. At the same time, Xiang Yu had already seen that his side had the upper hand, and it wouldn't take long for these people who came out of the city to

The men and horses were about to be killed by his own soldiers and horses. At this time, he remembered that these men and horses were all Chu soldiers. In fact, he just looked down on the conduct of King Chu and Qu Dou, and it was not that he wanted to be at odds with his own country, so he spoke

He said to Long Qie: "You have no choice but to surrender. I can promise not to hurt you again."

Long Qie was regretting in his heart. Hearing what Xiang Yu said, he was startled. His hands were also slow and he did not block Xiang Yu's sword. He could only watch as Xiang Yu's sword came in front of him. He saw that the sword was about to strike Long.

Qie's neck, Xiang Yu retracted his hand and put the knife on Long Qie's neck: "You have fallen into my hands. I respect you as a man and don't want to kill you, so you have to

Think about the soldiers who followed him out." Xiang Yu continued.

Long Qie looked at the soldiers around him who had been forced into a desperate situation, then looked at the knife on his neck, sighed and said: "Okay, I surrender! I just hope you won't break your promise and embarrass my brothers and sisters.

"As he said that, he threw the ax on the ground.

When Xiang Yu saw Long Qie throwing away his weapons, he shouted loudly: "If you don't kill those who surrender, your generals have already surrendered to me. Why are you still struggling in vain?"

When the sergeants heard this, their remaining resistance no longer existed, and they all dropped their weapons and expressed their surrender. Xiang Yu did not embarrass them as he just said, but just gathered them together to take care of them.

Get up. Then Xiang Yu looked at Long Qie and asked, "General, are you the guard of Donghai County?" After seeing Long Qie nodding, Xiang Yu then asked, "Can you help me call Donghai County away?" (
