Empire's Summoning Generals System

At this time, there were bursts of footsteps and the sound of weapons colliding outside the gate of the mansion. This was the sound of the only remaining soldiers in the city coming to support.

When the supporting soldiers rushed over from the gate of the mansion with their weapons in hand, they saw Wulugu kneeling there with his head down.

"This"

After all, Wulu Gu is the most powerful general in the city, and now he is kneeling there, not knowing whether he is alive or dead, so how can he not make people terrified.

At this time, a human head was thrown in front of the group of guarding soldiers, and the frontmost soldier fiddled with the spear in his hand, and the face of this human head appeared in front of everyone in an instant.

"It's General Xiang!"

The soldier yelled, took two steps back, and sat down on the ground, throwing away the spear in his hand. Looking at the already cold head, he was at a loss.

The atmosphere of fear spread throughout the entire Qi army. Zhang Qiuming stood up at this moment and shouted to the crowd: "Xiang Tu and Wulu Gu are dead. If you don't surrender, when will you wait?"

"I wait for the wish to surrender"

With the sound of weapons falling to the ground, these Qi soldiers knelt down and begged to surrender. They were not elites at all, they were just some young men who had just taken up weapons. There is not much left to be scared.

Even if the number is superior, in the eyes of Zhang Qiuming and the others, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs!

Zhang Qiuming immediately ordered: "Leave some people to guard them, and the others follow me to the top of the city!"

"puff!"

A basin of cold water was splashed on Li Chen's face, and Li Chen, who had already been drunk, was awakened instantly. He opened his hazy eyes, and vaguely saw a strong man with a big beard laughing indulgently.

"This is"

Li Chen shook his body, and found that he couldn't move at all. He looked down and saw that he was tied tightly to a wooden stake.

The smell of blood is in the air

Li Chen finally regained his composure, looked up at the strong man in front of him, and the general beside the strong man surprised Li Chen even more, "Liu Rengui! Didn't you get seriously injured?"

After Liu Rengui heard this, he burst into laughter: "It seems that our guest hasn't figured out the situation yet!"

Zhang Fei threw the two heads in front of Li Chen, "This is the head of the general of the Licheng Army who wants to attack our army. Do you know him?"

Li Chen looked at the two familiar heads on the ground, was in a trance for a while, and finally understood, paralyzed, and murmured: "So this is all your trick!"

Zhang Fei was quite excited and just wanted to taunt Li Chen, but was interrupted by a sentry who hurried over: "General, Zhang Tongzhi sent someone over here! There is a token to prove it!"

Zhang Fei was stunned, and then he was overjoyed: "Zhang Tongzhi can send someone over, which means that Licheng has been taken by us! Hurry up! Send someone over!"

"Yes!"

Li Chen, who was tied to the stake, was in a daze: "Licheng has been taken."

Looking at the corpse looming in the dark night and the smell of blood that hadn't dissipated in the air, the guard guard knew that a great battle had just been experienced here.

However, seeing that the surrounding soldiers were all in the robes of the Han army, I felt a little more relaxed.

Seeing Zhang Fei, he quickly knelt down and said, "See General Zhang!"

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "You can leave the city, which means that Zhang Tongzhi has controlled at least one city gate! Tell me about your situation!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers hurriedly cupped their hands and said: "Xiang Tu wanted to catch us all, but we succeeded in killing us. Xiang Tu has been awarded the head, and the only remaining soldiers in the city have surrendered. The west gate is under our control. Please also ask Zhang The general immediately dispatches soldiers into the city to prevent accidents!"

"Great!"

Zhang Fei immediately ordered: "Liu Rengui, Liu Menglong, you two immediately lead the army into Licheng and control the entire city!"

Liu Rengui and Liu Menglong came out and said, "Obey!"

Someone pointed to Li Chen who was still tied to the stake, "General, what should he do?"

"How to deal with it!"

Zhang Fei waved his sleeves and left the place.

630 Five Chapters on the Bank of the Huai River

Zhang Fei led his army to capture Licheng and controlled the entire northern part of Dongzhou. The rest of the counties were terrified, and there were many people who sent envoys to ask Zhang Fei to surrender.

Hearing Liu Renshan's remonstrance, Zhang Fei still ordered these people to serve as the chief officials of the city to temporarily appease the hearts of the people in the lower half of Dongzhou. Then Huang Zhong led the troops to join Zhang Fei.

Liu De had previously issued an order to let Huang Zhong cooperate with Zhang Fei to pacify the entire Dongzhou, drive Xiang Yu's forces out of Dongzhou, further damage the morale of Xiang Yu's army, cause internal instability in the Qi army, and approach Huaizhou, It made Xiang Yu unable to concentrate on fighting against him.

Zhang Fei received the order to leave a part of the defenders in Licheng, preparing to approach the southern part of Dongzhou, that is, Quancheng, the seat of Dongzhou.

It was winter, and most of the coast was frozen. Sun Zhongjin's navy could not move forward and could only stop temporarily on the coast of Dongzhou. The coastline of Huaizhou moved southward, attacking the coast of Huaizhou.

Liu De and all the counselors had expected that Xiang Yu would lead Qingqi to attack the grain and grass, but what he didn't expect was that Xiang Yu would be so bold that he would personally lead three thousand Qingqi to burn Liu De's convoy transporting grain and grass. More than a thousand soldiers fled back. Not many people, one school lieutenant and two captains died in battle.

"This is really a blow to Gu Lai from the very beginning!"

Looking at the map hanging in front of the big tent, Liu De smiled and said to the generals.

At this time, Luo Cheng asked for orders: "Your Highness, the general is willing to go to escort the food and grass. As long as Xiang Yu arrives, the general will definitely take the head of this thief and offer it to Your Highness!"

Luo Cheng was young and irritable, and he was eager to fight. Whether it was to make contributions or to express his loyalty to Liu De, the starting point was definitely good. Liu De also understood it very well, so he spoke a few words of comfort. Then he remonstrated: "Your Highness, the main force of the Qi army has never appeared, and this time Xiang Yu personally attacked our army's grain road. From my point of view, Xiang Yu wanted to show his strength, and secondly, he wanted to show his strength for the upcoming big battle." Prepare for the decisive battle."

"A decisive battle? How do you say it?"

Jiang Lin didn't quite understand.

Guo Jia cupped his hands, and then said: "It is difficult for our army to march, and the transportation of food and grass is tight, and the situation of the Qi army should be worse than ours. Jizhou is rich in food and grass, so we have the confidence to send troops south. The state is dilapidated, the people are displaced, the people's livelihood is dying, and there are more disasters and less food year after year. There are even tragedies like Yizi eating each other. How much food and grass can Huaizhou, which is not attached to people's hearts, support? So don't think that Xiang Yu is so in a hurry Not slowing down, it seems to be slowing down our army, but it is just looking for a powerful opportunity, waiting for a decisive battle."

"What Guo Shizhong said is very lonely."

Liu De nodded and said contemptuously: "Xiang Yu used light cavalry to attack our army's grain road, but one must not be separated. Presumably Xiang Yu also knows that a single sneak attack will not shake the foundation of our army, unless from now on, our grain road will be completely destroyed by him. Cut it off, but is that possible? Now that Xiang Yu personally leads the Qingqi sneak attack, it can also show that Xiang Yu's main army is not far away from us. After all, the commander of the first army, even if he is brave and reckless, cannot be too far away from his own army "

"Luzhou is a plain that is very conducive to the cavalry of the Qi army, but now most of our cavalry is concentrated in the hands of Huo Dudu and Bai Dudu."

Du Ruhui added: "Although there is snow now, it does not hinder the cavalry from marching."

Liu De also nodded to express his understanding, but said: "Xiang Yu has cavalry, but the elite is limited, and the horses are even more uneven. Although our cavalry is small, they are elite knights who have followed me for many years. The horses are even more excellent and strong. How can a big battle be achieved with cavalry alone? Du Qing, don't worry."

"Yes!"

Liu Gui stood up at this time, looked at the map hanging in front of the tent, and said: "The main force of the Qi army is likely to be deployed in Yuanyang, which is located a hundred miles away from us. Yuanyang is backed by the Huai River, and the terrain is flat and open. Suitable for large-scale battles."

"A fight to the death?"

Liu De muttered to himself.
