The general is wise and mighty

Chapter 24 Attacking Changshu

Xiang Ji asked someone to ride a horse to take Xiang it back, and then told him not to follow.Xiang It was unwilling, so Xiang Ji just stared at him, and the violent youth succumbed to the violent youth.

After more than half a month, the current troops arrived at the city of Liyang.

Xiang Ji rode on his horse to observe the situation in the city, then turned to An Sheng and said, "You don't have to do anything."

An Sheng was stunned for a moment: "Why, I still want to make a move." As he said that, he walked forward, and as soon as he reached the open space in front of the city gate, he was dumbfounded, and Tao Hua stayed where he was without knowing why.

Xiang Ji walked leisurely to him on his crow: "Just say you don't need to make a move."

"It's just that you have a good eye..." An Sheng was just behind Xiang Ji, but he didn't see that the county magistrate of Liyang City was already waiting at the gate of the city, holding the county magistrate's seal in his hand, followed by the chief secretary and others, and behind him was the magistrate of the city gate. Open, wait for Chu Jun.

Xiang Ji took a long leg in a cool way, dismounted and walked in front of the county magistrate.

The Liyang county magistrate was shaking his hand holding the big seal, and swallowed: "Cao...Caomin He Cang is here...waiting again for the general...general to arrive...please...please...please general...to accept the seal... ..."

Xiang Ji took it with one hand and tossed it up and down for fun: "It's quite light."

"Give it to me!" An Sheng grabbed it and put it back into He Cang's hands, "He Cang, right?"

"It's...it's the grassroots..." He Cang hurriedly bent down at ninety degrees in a bow.

An Sheng winked at Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang understood, stepped forward to help him up, An Sheng smiled and said: "No need, we are not here to slaughter the city, but to liberate you! So, He Cang—you should still County magistrate, be our county magistrate, not Qin."

He Cang surrendered in the city because he wanted to save the lives of the people in the city. He thought it would be good if he could save his life, but he didn't expect to be able to continue to be an official. He was surprised and delighted: "I...me?"

An Sheng smiled, and handed the seal back: "Yes. Your subordinates are still your subordinates, help the general manage Liyang, and do a good job in the rear! Haha!"

A few days ago, Zhang Liang told An Sheng that the county magistrate of Liyang was actually a rather timid person, and he might surrender because he was worried about the people in a short time.So at that time, An Sheng discussed with Zhang Liang to use the original team after capturing Liyang. Xiang Ji also knew about it, but when he saw Da Yin, he couldn't help but want to grab it to play.

He Cang was so happy that he took An Sheng's arm and walked into the city, talking enthusiastically to show An Sheng around.Xiang Ji hurried two steps, took An Sheng's arm back into his own, and followed suit.

An Sheng also wanted to see how Liyang's food and grass city defenses were, but Xiang Ji insisted on following him. There was no other way, so he asked Zhang Liang to arrange the army and let Long Qi take care of it, and not to rob someone's house or daughter.

As soon as he heard the word girl, Xiang Ji regained his energy, and asked He Cang: "Is there anyone named Yu Ji here?"

"Yu... Concubine Yu?" He Cang repeated, calling over to the master, "Yes...is there?"

The chief clerk still held the list of city residents who were about to be handed over, and immediately opened it to read it, and went through it: "No."

"No...no..." He Cang turned his head to answer Xiang Ji.

An Sheng rolled his eyes in his heart, and asked Xiang Ji, "The one with the surname Yu? The one with Yu in the name?"

"Which 'Yu'?" The master book looked like a literati with a weak body.

"Intrigue? Unexpected reputation?" An Sheng still memorized a few idioms during the college entrance examination.

"Oh—" the master flipped through the book again, "No, but there are a few fish with 'mandarin fish' in their names, why don't you take a look?"

Xiang Ji looked at An Sheng, and An Sheng retreated: "Look at what I am doing, you can find your sweetheart by yourself."

"Then don't read it, the name doesn't match anyway." Xiang Ji still believed in An Sheng on this point, anyway, he was the one who said his sweetheart's name.

After looking at Liyang, An Sheng was very satisfied. There was enough food and grass to live and work in peace and contentment. At least there was no problem in supplying food and grass for the advance troops to cross the Huaihe River.

It was the first time that Xiang Ji won without fighting, and he was in a good mood all day, and whenever he got the chance, he would flirt with An Sheng.An Sheng was so angry that he grabbed his ears on the city wall and twisted: "I tell you to talk more, why do you talk so much, talk less!"

Xiang Ji's ears were still quite fragile, and his facial expression was ferocious: "The general is happy!"

An Sheng also saw that the soldiers were all helping the common people to carry goods, helping the soldiers guarding the city to move things, all of them had smiles on their faces, and unconsciously relaxed after being injured.

Xiang Ji rubbed his ears and stood side by side with An Sheng: "See, everyone is happy."

An Sheng looked at Xiang Ji with complicated eyes: the man in front of him had straight eyebrows pierced into his forehead, his brows were full of smiles, and the corners of his mouth were curled up. He really didn't look like that tyrannical overlord in history at all.

"You are Xiang Yu?" An Sheng stared at Xiang Yu's profile.

Xiang Ji turned his head and said, "Well, it's not the first day we met."

"It's not like." An Sheng reached out and touched Xiang Ji's face, then pinched his nose, "You are Xiang Ji."

"Well, I'm Xiang Ji." Xiang Yu didn't understand what An Sheng meant, but Xiang Yu and Xiang Ji were talking about themselves.

"Then you should be obediently, at least in front of me, and control your emotions."

An Sheng's hand never let go of Xiang Yu's nose. Xiang Yu felt uncomfortable, breathing through his mouth and exhaling into An Sheng's hand, urging him to move his hand away.

"You agree first." An Sheng intensified, reaching out his other hand to cover Xiang Ji's mouth.

Xiang Ji had no choice but to nod, and An Sheng gave up.

Zhang Liang climbed up the city wall, his body which had not been exercising for a long time made him out of breath: "An...Brother An..."

"what's up?"

"Ah?!" Zhang Liang was stunned, "No...what's the matter...just everything is fine, let Brother An know."

"Oh. Just tell me later if you have something to do." An Sheng thinks that Zhang Liang is actually quite a good person, and he handles things quickly, but he thinks too little of himself. He is obviously a master of the emperor and has been born for several generations.

After a few days of recuperation in Liyang, the soldiers' physical strength has also been replenished. Later, Xiang Liang's large troops also arrived in front of the city gate. The uncle and nephew met to discuss and decided to allocate the team in this way, but Xiang Zhuang was completely stuck. Long Qi, insist on following.

Although it is said that the dragon can't go up, but to listen to the general's order, I must have blossomed in my heart.

An Sheng asked Huan Chu: "Has Xiang Zhuang figured it out?"

"Earlier, I told him that the striker was in great danger and might be gone one day, so..." Huan Chu raised his eyebrows and showed a characteristic smile.

The vanguard set off first and headed for Changshu.

Changshu faces the Yangtze River in the north, and Xiang Ji and his party came from the southwest, so naturally they didn't have to go around the steep rear, and chose to go through the west gate or the south gate.

An Sheng first sent a few people to the gates of the two cities to find out the bottom. The people who came back reported that the gates of the cities were heavily guarded and it was difficult to break through.

An Sheng thought about it for a while, and directly abandoned the attack.Changshu City is close to the Yangtze River, and there are many Qin soldiers guarding it, so a strong attack will definitely cause heavy losses.

"They know we're coming from the southwest." An Sheng muttered, "Then we'll go in through the east gate."

Xiang Ji frowned: "No, it will take too much time to go around to the east gate."

An Sheng raised his voice: "Do you want time or names? They are all your Jiang Dongerlang, you don't care if they live or die?"

Zhang Liang also echoed on the side: "I foolishly thought that the east gate should also be attacked. One is that there are fewer Qin soldiers defending the city, and the other is that the eastern forest is dense and can cover the archers."

Xiang Ji didn't care about Zhang Liang at all: "You don't have a place to talk!" Hearing the voice, he was a little angry, "I'm the general who listens to me!"

"Oh? Then what's the use of a military adviser?" An Sheng had never been afraid of Xiang Ji, so he yelled back, "Give me thirty elite soldiers, and I'll go to the east gate!"

"Thirty? Okay, I'll give you thirty." Xiang Ji has always been used to making decisions by himself, but suddenly when An Sheng came to influence his opinion, his temper formed since childhood exploded, "Long Qi, give him thirty elite soldiers .”

Xiang Ji was on fire right now, so he would definitely not pull An Sheng, and no one in the team dared to disobey Xiang Ji except An Sheng.

"Twenty infantry, ten archers." An Sheng added, not afraid of Xiang Ji's temper at all.

"Give it to him!" Xiang Ji's tone was aggressive.

Long didn't dare to be negligent, and went to point out thirty people to him according to An Sheng's request.

An Sheng picked up Taohua, but he was still a little worried about Xiang Ji, and wanted to explain a few words to him.But Xiang Ji had already run to the side and became angry. There was nothing he could do. An Sheng told Long Qie that there was something to listen to Zhang Liang, and at least he had a personal discussion.

Long Qi had known for a few days that Zhang Liang was not a weakling, so he nodded to tell An Sheng to be more careful, and asked the soldiers he took away to be careful to protect the military division.

An Sheng told Zhang Liang to at least let Xiang Yu wait until that night before attacking the city, and he must not be hasty, so Zhang Liang agreed to reassure An Sheng.

Glancing at Xiang Ji again, An Sheng turned his head and led his thirty soldiers towards the east of the city.

That night, the deafening siege of the Chu army sounded in the south of the city, and An Sheng could vaguely hear the sound of beating and killing in the east of the city.

An Sheng had already divided the thirty people into three groups, one group of ten people, and elected a group leader and a small deputy leader.An Sheng couldn't remember his name, so he simply called him a freshman, a sophomore, a sophomore, and a junior, just to commemorate his college days, only a senior.

The freshman's blood boiled when he heard it: "Military division, let's do it too."

"No hurry." An Sheng waited.

"But the general and the others..." The freshman was in a hurry.

"So we have to wait." An Sheng stared at the wall of the east gate, "The chickens attack the south gate, the Qin army will definitely go to help, and there are fewer people in the east gate. After we attack, we can go back and forth with your generals, but—— —”

"Just what?" asked the freshman.

"You must listen to me. Here, there are only military advisers, not generals." An Sheng's eyes were firm, and his face under the flickering moonlight made the bearded man, freshman, unable to help being afraid.

The sophomore's figure is a little more well-proportioned, pulling the freshman, bowing his head to An Sheng: "Yes, military advisor."

"Did you hear what I just said?" An Sheng looked at his 30 people expressionlessly.

"Understood." With a uniform voice, the people present had hardly seen An Sheng like this.In the past, An Sheng was always teasing with Xiang Ji, and he would rely on Fan Zeng when he was in trouble, playing with his childish nature, and ignoring others when he was unhappy.But An Sheng at this time can convince each of them, and can make each of them hand over their lives to Xiang Ji as if they were handing over their lives to Xiang Ji.

"Okay." An Sheng turned his head and continued to stare at the city wall, "Sophomores and juniors come over, the others—find a place to sleep."

sleep?The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, never having encountered such a situation before.

An Sheng was in a good mood, so he explained: "We may attack the city in the early morning, and we will have good physical strength after a good rest. Find a place according to the group and sleep quickly!"

The deputy team leaders of the second and third groups consciously assumed the responsibility of the team leader and found places to rest.

Sophomores and juniors squatted beside An Sheng: "What orders does the military adviser have?"

An Sheng rubbed his eyes: "I don't have good eyesight, you guys take turns to stare at me, if there are fewer people, let me know." After speaking, he leaned against a tree and closed his eyes to rest.

"Yes..." The sophomores and juniors have already received orders from Long Qi to take good care of An Sheng. Helping to keep an eye on the city is not a big deal, and the schedule was quickly arranged.The only thing that made them uncomfortable was the sound of killing from the south, and the sound of weapons clashing, which made them feel hot all over, but they couldn't move.

Gradually, the east will be bright, and the sobriety in the woods is still unclear, but everything on the city wall is relatively clear.In one night, the guards on the east wall decreased by two-thirds, and the remaining Qin soldiers were all weaker in combat ability.

"Military division." The freshman's voice came, much calmer, "Everyone is here."

"Okay." An Sheng opened his eyes, his eyes were like stars, "Junior and your people are in ambush at the edge of the woods, and the leaders of the first and second are waiting."

"Yes." Three voices merged into one.

Junior was led by ten archers, and after ambushing, he aimed at the guards on the city, only to see the junior waved his hand silently, and ten cold arrows pierced through the air and went straight into the throat of the Qin army, without even making a sound, just silently. Ten people fell down without a sound.

There were no more than a dozen soldiers left on the city wall, and they raised their weapons and looked around nervously, but before they could fully recover, the second wave of cold arrows struck, and seven or eight soldiers were missing.

"Kill them all, no one will be left alive." An Sheng will still be ruthless when he should be ruthless.

Thus, the remaining six people were completely wiped out by the third wave of arrows.

"Go." An Sheng only needed a short word, and the freshman immediately led his team members to run forward while swinging the rope of the flying claw, and threw it vigorously, only heard a "ding", and quickly pulled the rope to climb Go up the wall, then jump down, opening the gate to reveal a gap for people to pass through.

Although the group of sophomores didn't do anything, they didn't complain. They closed the door immediately after entering, and thirty people took advantage of the dawn and the unclear sky to run along the city wall to the south gate.

The closer to the south gate, the more corpses of Qin soldiers can be seen gradually, some fell on the ground, some hung on the city wall, but the gate was still not breached.

An Sheng was unusually calm: "Freshman is on the left, sophomore is on the right, and junior is looking for cover to shoot arrows." He followed the freshman up the city wall, worried that the freshman's temper was impatient and something might go wrong.

Qin Bing on the city wall did not expect that he would be killed in the back when he was attacked by an enemy in front of him. Before he died, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Zhang Liang clung to the city wall in fear, and more and more sharp-eyed Qin soldiers fell from the city wall. He was greatly relieved, knowing that An Sheng must have succeeded, and came to support him.

After a while, there were not many Qin soldiers left. Seeing that there was no hope of victory, the remaining soldiers surrendered one by one, and were detained by the Chu soldiers.

The first and second students led people to open the south city gate and welcome the troops led by Xiang Ji.

Xiang Ji obviously went through a fierce battle, and it was difficult to attack from the bottom up. The Qin army kept adding that the battle lasted all night, and it was not until dawn that he was able to enter Changshu.

When Xiang Ji entered the door, he glanced at An Sheng, didn't say anything, and walked to the side and sat down.

Longqie Xiangzhuang also looked exhausted, and after greeting An Sheng, he walked to the edge of the city and rested against the city wall.

An Sheng called the first, second, and third graders, and asked them to visit the gate of the doctor in the city, and asked someone to come over to see the wounded soldiers of the Chu Army.

"I didn't listen to you." Xiang Jiwu said.

"I know." An Sheng nodded, "I wouldn't be able to get in without you calling at the south gate."

After finishing speaking, An Sheng looked at Xiang Ji and smiled: "Is the cooperation happy?"

"No. There were a lot of casualties." Xiang Ji buried his head between his knees in some pain, the heavy armor on his body made his movements very uncomfortable.

An Sheng helped him put the armor on his upper body aside: "You will blame yourself."

Xiang Ji didn't answer the call, nor did he look up.

An Sheng smiled softly: "Didn't you ask me to come to reduce casualties and avoid hard hits? Why did you change your mind at the moment of making a decision?"

"You have to control your emotions." An Sheng patted Xiang Yu's shoulder, and didn't let go of his hand.

"Three people." Xiang Ji said suddenly.

"Ok?"

"Three people died." Xiang Yu looked at An Sheng firmly.

An Sheng was stunned: In such a tragic war, only three people died after fighting like this for a whole night, you are the god of war.

"You are very powerful. I will lead soldiers to die at least thirty. And they are willing to follow you and die for you. As long as you win, they will rest in peace."

"None of you died." This was what Xiang Ji was struggling with.

"I said it was cooperation." An Sheng patted Xiang Ji's shoulder again, thinking that I only had thirty people, "Go and see the wounded, give condolences, and say that you will not abandon them."

Xiang Ji looked straight into An Sheng's eyes, and the blood-stained double pupils returned to normal color, and he nodded his head, which was his agreement.
