Chapter 58 Fierce Street Fighting

When Han Sui's troops gathered outside the east gate of Chencang City again, a fire broke out in Chencang City. All the food that could not be taken away was reduced to ashes in the fire, and most of the city

Everyone followed Sun Jian towards Dashan Pass. Only Xiang Yu led less than two hundred elite cavalry left in the city. At this time, even the guards on the city wall had left.

Han Sui himself was at the rear to prevent Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo from pursuing him. Therefore, he had not arrived in person yet, but a large force of at least seven or eight thousand people had been assembled outside the city. Looking at the vast water, he was very imposing.

Magnificent, the morale of the lieutenants and soldiers was high, they all looked majestic and high-spirited, as if they had regarded Chencang City in front of them as their own.

However, when black smoke billowed from Chencang City, Han Sui's generals outside the city vaguely felt that something was not right, so they ordered an early attack. With this order, war drums sounded, and shouts of death came from far and near.

, however when they arrived at the city gate, they did not encounter any resistance. The soldiers put the ladders that had been prepared on the city wall and quickly occupied the city gate.

As the east gate of Chencang City opened, large troops outside the city rushed in one after another. At this time, Xiang Yu led his troops to light fires along the way in the city. The entire Chencang City was already in a sea of ​​fire. Han Suijun saw that the city included granaries.

Fires broke out in many places inside, and I was very anxious. I wanted to draw water from the Wei River to put out the fire.

Xiang Yu also deliberately waited until Han Sui's large army came to attack the city before gradually lighting several fires in the city. The purpose was to allow Han Sui's army to see the fires igniting with their own eyes and at the same time give them some opportunities to put out the fires. For Xiang Yu,

In other words, this situation is exactly when he has the opportunity to show off his talents.

On the one hand, Xiang Yu allowed Han Sui's troops who were attacking the city to see where he was, and on the other hand, he lit a fire. This put the opponent in a dilemma, whether to give priority to pursuing Xiang Yu or putting out the fire.

Because there were many fires in the city, some roads that were originally not so spacious were even more difficult to move forward at this time, or they could only provide small-scale troops to pass through. Although these rebels under Han Sui had an absolute advantage in numbers

, but when they entered the city, they were completely unable to take advantage of their numerical advantage.

It seems that they chose to catch both at the same time. They wanted to pursue Xiang Yu and save the fire in the city. Anyway, they did have a large number of people. It didn't take long for them to lead their troops to attack the east, south and north of Chencang City.

The city gates were controlled, and soldiers lined up in many columns, one after another, transporting water from the Wei River into the city in containers to put out the fire.

However, it seems that the current situation is that the fire is spreading very quickly throughout the city, and it is impossible to put out all the fires. We can only put out the fires in some important areas first, such as the grain storage areas in the city, arsenals, and mansions in the city.

Of course, Xiang Yu could see through the opponent's thoughts at a glance. He also knew that Han Sui's army could only give priority to finding ways to protect these important places, so he led a mere two hundred elite cavalry to play hide-and-seek with Han Sui's pursuers in the city.

, while looking for its weak points to launch an attack under the leadership of Xiang Yu.

I saw Xiang Yu leading his army straight towards the rebel soldiers who were trying to put out the fire in the granary. Many of them were holding containers filled with water to put out the fire. They had no time to prepare, and were directly attacked by Xiang Yu's soldiers and horses.

Pass through and cut off the fire fighting team.

Seeing this, the other Han Sui rebels around him picked up their crossbows and prepared to surround him. Regardless of where the friendly troops were, they fired a round of powerful crossbows. Many cavalrymen around Xiang Yu were hit by arrows.

Unfortunately, there was a fire all around, and the way forward was narrow. The crossbowmen occupied a key position in the distance, and their power was still very strong in this street battle.

Xiang Yu frowned slightly, whipped his horse and rushed out with his spear, and rushed straight towards the crossbow formation. Facing the many crossbow arrows fired at him, Xiang Yu waved the thunder gun in his hand and blocked most of the arrows. However,

Two arrows still passed through, one hit Xiang Yu's left shoulder, and the other pierced Xiang Yu's back.

Fortunately, the thin scale armor on Xiang Yu's body absorbed most of the kinetic energy of the arrow, and the arrow only penetrated the skin. Xiang Yu ignored this minor injury at all, jumped off his horse, and rushed into the alley alone.

Kill forward.

The surrounding enemy troops saw that although Xiang Yu was brave, he was only one man, so they quickly planned to form a group to attack Xiang Yu.

Hold the tail end of the thunder gun with one hand, and use the maximum attack distance and attack angle to launch a fierce attack on the surroundings.

Those Han Sui soldiers who rushed forward were accidentally stabbed by Xiang Yu. Before they could even scream, a big hole was pulled out of their chests, and they fell to the ground and died miserably.

Facing the soldiers who were rushing up together, Xiang Yu swept out with his gun, mowing down a large area. The soldiers behind him hesitated, but the other soldiers behind him pushed them forward, so they had no choice but to close their eyes and face Xiang Yu.

Rush over.

There was another great sweep, and the row of Han Sui soldiers at the front were swept to the ground, rolling on the ground, teeth grinning, and in agony. The armor on their bodies could only be beaten by Xiang Yu's fierce swing.

They barely managed to save a small life, but they had no strength to fight anymore.

Xiang Yu roared angrily, and the galloping horse, which was as dark as night, ran out from nowhere. Xiang Yu jumped on his horse. Seeing that Xiang Yu wanted to break out of the encirclement, the surrounding soldiers launched another wave of fierce attacks, but their

Xiang Yu's attacks were broken and parried one by one. Although they seemed to be outnumbered, they could not stop Xiang Yu in the slightest.

Xiang Yu whipped his whip in anger again, and the galloping horse actually jumped more than ten feet high on the spot, crossing a burning beam that had just collapsed from the surrounding area. The pursuers behind him had never seen this formation, and they were blocked one after another.

On the other side of the fire.

Xiang Yu rushed all the way and met up with the remaining cavalry. He specifically targeted several areas where Han Sui's rebels wanted to put out the fire. After several rounds, there were already many corpses of Han Sui's troops in the city.

In the end, they could only watch the fire in the city getting bigger and bigger, gradually losing control. Whether it was the granary, the arsenal, or the mansion, they were all engulfed by the waves of flames.

The mere amount of water sent was unable to extinguish the fire, or even control the intensity of the fire.

However, Xiang Yu's killing was very unpleasant. Although Xiang Yu's elite cavalry was also lost by nearly half in this chaotic battlefield, he had killed at least five times his enemy. Xiang Yu saw that the fire in the city had already begun.

It became more and more fierce, so he led the remaining cavalry towards the west gate of Chencang City.
