Chapter 847: The City is Broken
Standing on the Dharma platform, Chu He was dressed in sackcloth, holding an ancient sword, stepping on Yubu, and holding gossip.
There are flags on the table, red candles are lit, pigs, cattle and sheep are lined up, and there are a lot of things that Chu He doesn't understand, what is the purpose, and they are piled up randomly.
Then he muttered something in his mouth that even the most sensitive of ears could not hear clearly.
The fog was delayed, and those who knew the inside story began to feel a little emotional.
Even Xiang Yu, who had always been confident in Chu He, was a little irritable at this time, thinking in his heart. If the fog can't rise, it's a big deal to charge, he rushes to the front, how can he not let the righteous eldest brother suffer.
It wasn't until after the sun turned west that the Chu River mobilized the Yuan Shen to condense water vapor in the high sky, and then disperse the water vapor and cover it.
Then he used magic to roll up bursts of wind that swirled in place, and the wind swept the dense fog and dust and sand, mixed together, covering a hundred miles in a radius.
Even with a torch, I'm afraid I can't see my fingers.
In the thick mist, there seemed to be something whistling and struggling all the time, with an unknown horror.
Wait until the afterglow of the setting sun gradually sets and completely dissipates.
The terror in the dense fog eroded the earth even more, and the Qin army in Dingtao City looked at the dense fog that could not be dissolved, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The soldiers patrolling the city, under the orders of the generals, were even more energetic, always vigilant for the slightest change.
Suddenly, they heard the beating of war drums, the neighing of their horses, the screeching of blades against their blades.
Everyone tensed every muscle in their bodies.
Rolling logs, boulders, boiling water, and even boiling oil, all of which defended the city were prepared.
In the thick fog, there seemed to be a team of people who quickly touched it.
The rain of arrows fell, but there was no scream.
It's like that volley of sharp arrows, and no one was hurt.
"It seems to be an elite, and they want to secretly take advantage of the thick fog to attack the city wall. Pour cold water on the city wall, and those who know how to ice will freeze the cold water and freeze the city wall. The generals of the Qin army on the city wall quickly ordered.
If there is ice on the wall, it will slip, and it will be very difficult to climb over it.
As for flying directly into the city, that's a fool's dream.
As long as someone dares to fly, that round of arrows with a vicious curse can instantly make him unable to even make a ghost.
Not everyone has the speed of Chu He, so fast that the best archers didn't catch his momentary movement and jumped onto the city wall.
It's just that this seems to be a very sensible defense, but in fact, it didn't find the point at all.
Knock! Knock!
The sound of heavy equipment pounding on the city gate rang out one after another.
The violent impact of gravity constantly shook the city wall, and the Qin troops on the city wall beat drums in their hearts.
"Formation! Why didn't the formation work? How could it touch the city gate directly?" a guard shouted.
Click!
The gates were broken.
It seems that a group of men and horses have rushed into the city gates.
It was only a few hundred meters deep into the city gate, and suddenly countless sharp arrows were shot around.
Above these sharp arrows, there is the most vicious bloodline curse.
As soon as the person who was hit by the arrow died, the arrow would burn the corpse, and then refine the blood, turning into a curse that spread through the bloodline and to the blood body associated with it.
This kind of vicious arrow disease is not much in the Great Qin armament.
Usually, for those who need to raid their homes and exterminate their clans, and avoid absconding fellow clansmen, this method is specially used to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Zhang Han used this vicious arrow to plot against the army that entered the city, just to spread it to the entire Chu army through the bloodline curse.
After all, among the Chu army, there are many soldiers who are related by blood.
With such a spread, even if the Chu army that died here was only a thousand, with the spread of the curse, it was possible to expand the casualty data by several times, or even nearly ten times.
It will greatly hit the morale of the Chu army.
I have to say that Zhang Han's intentions are extremely ruthless. If Chu Jun knocked on the door directly like this, he would really suffer a big loss.
But these arrows were destined to be wasted, because they hit a group of Yin soldiers.
They are no longer human, and they have never had any flesh and blood to nourish them, forming a curse.
After the rain of arrows fell short, the Yin soldiers continued to break in, constantly stepping on the trap left by Zhang Han.
Xiang Yu and the others had already led a large army to follow, breaking through the broken city gate, constantly attacking and killing the Qin army in the city, and occupying Dingtao at the same time.
Before dawn, Dingtao completely fell into the hands of the Chu army.
The losses of the Chu army were not more than 100, while a large number of Qin troops were captured.
Many of these Qin soldiers were death row prisoners and Lishan slaves, and many of them were not from the Qin State.
Now that it has been taken over by the Chu army, it only needs a little education to take it for its own use.
As for those Qin army generals and Qin soldiers, those who were stubborn and tried to do things would be killed directly. Those who are cowardly and afraid of death will stay as the leading party, or wait for the exchange of ransom.
All in all, it was a big win.
And in this battle, from beginning to end, Chu He participated in the whole process.
The first hero of the first battle of Dingtao is well deserved.
The first battle of the Chu River made a name for itself in the Chu army and gained a lot of prestige.
Many upright-hearted people have already regarded Chu He as their own people, and there is no longer a barrier.
As soon as the pottery is broken, there is Wuguan again.
After the Wuguan, it is the Hangu Pass, which is close to Xianyang.
Xiang Yu and Liu Bang set that 'the first to enter the customs is the king', and the "pass" refers to Hangu Pass.
Without the intervention of the Chu River, Xiang Liang died in Dingtao, and the Chu army could only evacuate, and then led troops across the river to defeat Julu with the Qin army.
At this time, it is equivalent to turning the trajectory of the march in a direct direction.
Occupying Dingtao, Xiang Liang followed Chu He's advice and did not continue to recklessly wave his army to the west, but on the one hand, he gathered the righteous armies from all sides and strengthened his advantages, and on the other hand, he continued to propagate the tyrannical Qin and fan more people to rise up against Qin.
The news of Dingtao's victory in the first battle also quickly spread all over the world.
Heroes from all walks of life, all come together.
The rebel army led by Liu Bang is naturally one of them.
It's just wrapped up in the many rebels who came to vote, and it is not particularly conspicuous.
The Chu army gradually expanded, and it can no longer be called the Chu army, but can be called the alliance of princes.
And Xiang Liang was naturally the commander of the alliance of the princes, and he gradually became a little carried away.
When the princes of various countries get together, they are indispensable to drink and have fun, contact each other, and sing songs in the city at night, but they have lost their sense of sharpness.
Chu He stood in the attic, looking at the lights in the distance, and sighed a little disappointed.
There were still maids and guards standing around the attic, and on the side of the table with the beast head incense burner, Yu Ji, dressed in black, was kneeling there, looking at the bamboo slips handed to her by Chu He.
Hearing Chu He's sigh, Yu Ji raised her head, her eyes that already looked a little wise, stared at Chu He's back, and couldn't help asking, "Master, why are you sighing?"
Chu He said: "The general's spirit has been lost, and he is stubborn in his efforts to overthrow the tyrannical Qin, but I am afraid that I can't count on him." ”
