Dongyang County is located in the southeast of Xutai County, Donghai County. It is the last barrier to Sishui County and the only city in the south of Xutai County. Crossing the Huaihe River from Xutai County is not far from Sishui County.

It was noon at this time, the sun was high in the sky, and a team of 20,000 people marched towards Dongyang County. The leader was a tiger general, wearing silver armor with a tiger head, majestic. Although he was young, he could not hide his appearance.

He was filled with murderous aura. This man was Xiang Yu, the pioneer who crossed the river from Kuaiji to the north.

In the battle of Guangling, Xiang Yu only took one day to break into the city, kill the defenders, and kill nearly half of the young men in the Yi city, thus reducing the threat to the Chu army in Guangling County. Afterwards, Xiang Yu quickly went north and headed straight to Dongyang County.

Come, at this time, it is less than fifty miles away from Dongyang County.

The procession was huge, the red Chu flag was fluttering in the wind, and it was like flames crawling on the earth. Soon, the high Dongyang County city wall appeared in Xiang Yu's eyes.

Looking at the tall city wall in the distance, Xiang Yu was in a good mood. As long as he captured Dongyang County and conquered Xutai County, he would open the door to Sishui County, and the Chu State would also officially join the ranks of those who fought against Qin.

, this is the day that Xiang Yu has been looking forward to for a long time. When his grandfather and father died on the battlefield, the oath that "although Chu has three households, Qin will be destroyed by Chu" is still in Xiang Yu's mind, echoing for a long time. It is such an oath that allowed Xiang Yu to destroy Qin.

His confidence became even stronger, and he must personally overthrow the Qin Dynasty and avenge his father.

Soon, the team gradually approached Dongyang County. Xiang Yu now held the sword in his hand, raised it in the air, and shouted loudly: "Array!"

Several messengers rode their horses and dispersed. The four deputy generals of the vanguard army, Long Qie, Ji Bu, Yu Ziqi and Huan Chu, each led 3,000 troops and divided them into four military formations, front, rear, left and right.

The central army, composed of eight thousand men under Xiang Yu's command, was majestic. After raising a row of giant shields, the war drums began to beat slowly.

Hundreds of soldiers rushed to the nearby mountains and forests to prepare ladders, as the war was about to begin.

Along the way, Xiang Yu never encountered a strong enemy, which also made his character more unruly and unruly. Take the Dongyang County in front of him as an example. There are nearly 10,000 defenders in the city. According to reports from scouts, the guard general Pu

They were brave, good at fighting, and extremely brave. Even though there was such a strong opponent, Xiang Yu still didn't take them to heart. Instead, he calmly came to Dongyang County and then formed an array to attack the city.

At this time, the drums of the attack have been beating for three rounds, and the horns are also wailing. This means that the auspicious time for the attack is approaching.

Groups of soldiers carried simple ladders towards the military formation. When the ladders were in place, the Chu army would launch the first round of attack.

At this time, Xiang Yu was at the front, and several lieutenants also rushed to Xiang Yu's side, lining up in a row. The sun at noon was the most fierce and dazzling. Xiang Yu raised his eyes with his left hand and looked at Dongyang County. On the city tower, the black Qin flag

The Qin army who was flying and waiting in formation showed no fear at all, which made Xiang Yu feel slightly unhappy.

He snorted coldly and was about to give the order to attack the city. Suddenly, on the tower opposite, the sound of war drums sounded, and the drums rumbled loudly. This was the prelude to the Qin army's departure from the city for a battle.

Soon, the south gate of Dongyang County slowly opened, and groups of Qin soldiers roared out. They began to line up three hundred paces outside the city tower, and the sound of horns and drums became louder and louder.

In the Chu formation, Xiang Yu smiled coldly. Behind him, Long Qie took a few steps forward on his horse. Next to Xiang Yu, he pointed at the Qin formation and said: "Brother Yu, the Qin army seems to have more than 5,000 people. Let me go and meet him."

.”

Xiang Yu ignored Long Qie. His eyes had already been attracted by a middle-aged general in the opposite military formation. This man was wearing black leather armor, wearing a turban, and carrying a spear. He was majestic. If nothing else, Xiang Yu thought that

This person is Pu Shan, the general of Dongyang County.

Xiang Yu had long heard that Pu Shan, the guard of Dongyang County, was extremely brave and very difficult to deal with. How could Xiang Yu give up when they met today? At this time, he completely ignored Long Qie's invitation to fight. Instead, he laughed a few times and took back his iron sword.

Cambridge, pick up the long pin on the horse hook and ride the horse out.

"Are you Pu Shan?" Xiang Yu roared angrily. On the opposite side, Pu Shan saw that Xiang Yu was young, but his momentum was not inferior to his own, and he was a little more wary. But after all, he is a battle-hardened man, how could he be

Xiang Yu's momentum was overwhelming. At this time, he also rode out on his horse, raised his spear horizontally, and shouted: "I am Pu Shan. You can declare your name, so that I can write down your name in the merit list!"

Pu Shan's contempt completely angered Xiang Yu. At this time, he was desperate and rushed out with his spear. On the opposite side, Pu Shan saw Xiang Yu's menacing approach and did not say anything. He immediately waved his spear and came to fight Xiang Yu.

When the two weapons clashed, fire flew everywhere, but soon, as the horses galloped, the two separated again. At this time, Xiang Yule turned his horse's head, looked at Pu Shan, and shouted: "Listen well."

Yes, my name is Xiang Yu. I will kill you today, and I will make sure you die clearly, lest you go underground and not know who took your dog head!"

There was a hint of ridicule in Xiang Yu's words. Pu Shan was furious after hearing this. He rode his horse to fight Xiang Yu again. Xiang Yu also fought with Pu Shan. The two men ran rampant in the formation of the two armies, and spears flew left and right. It was obvious that

The officers and men of both armies waved their weapons and shouted for their might.

Drums and horns sounded one after another. The two had been fighting for half an hour, with neither victory nor defeat. But at this time, Pu Shan's face was obviously sweating and his physical strength was gradually running out. Xiang Yu on the opposite side became more and more brave as he fought and stood tall.

Chang Shao turned his horse's head and followed Pu Shan closely.

After running for a while, the two met again. At this time, Pu Shan's spear was getting weaker and weaker, and his physical strength was gradually exhausted. Xiang Yu could be regarded as the first strong enemy he encountered in his life, and he would also be the last.

At this time, Pu Shan gradually felt that death was coming.

A flash of white light flashed, Pu Shan felt the huge force brought by Xiang Yu's long spear, and a strong wind hit his neck. Pu Shan instinctively raised his spear to block the long spear, but was knocked off his horse by the huge force, leaving a mouthful of blood.

Spouting out, Pu Shan felt the hoofbeats of Xiang Yu's war horse getting closer and closer, but Pu Shan's vision was blurry. Just when Pu Shan was struggling to get up, Xiang Yu rushed forward and lifted Pu Shan up with his right hand.

Riding the horse back.

There was chaos in the Qin army's formation, and the general was captured. Some soldiers began to turn around and flee into the city. One person fled and hundreds of people fled, and a hundred people fled and thousands of people fled. For a while, the flag of the Qin army changed sides, and the crowds swarmed into the south gate of Dongyang County.

.

Xiang Yu had already rushed back to his formation and threw Pu Shan to the ground. Several of his followers immediately bound Pu Shan and took him away. At this time, Xiang Yu raised his long spear and shouted: "Soldiers, the time has come to make a contribution."

, follow me and fight in!"

The three armies shouted and followed Xiang Yu straight to the south gate of Dongyang County.

More than a hundred ladders were set up at the top of Dongyang County. The Chu army rushed into the city regardless of their own safety. The Qin army who was blocked outside the door knelt down and begged for mercy. They cried and cried, but the Chu army's sharp spears mercilessly stabbed these people.

The Qin army, for a time, flowed with blood, and Dongyang County fell into the flames of war.

...

The massacre lasted all afternoon. When the Chu army gathered the sergeants and made announcements to calm the people, Dongyang County was already a scorched earth. There were corpses lying everywhere on the streets. Fires ignited houses and shops. The fleeing people were killed by the Chu army.

The Chu army was mercilessly trapped in the city. At this time, batches of Chu troops were galloping on the streets, searching for the Qin troops who were still resisting.

In the county government office, Xiang Yu sat high up, and below, four lieutenants sat in their own seats. Not long after, several soldiers escorted Pu Shan. Pu Shan was already awake at this time. Although there was still some severe pain in his chest, he

Pu Shan's consciousness is much better than before.

At this time, two soldiers reached out to hold Pu Shan down, trying to get him to kneel down, but Pu Shan gritted his teeth and stood proudly, refusing to give in at all. This scene was seen by Xiang Yu. Since ancient times, heroes cherish heroes, Xiang Yu

Waving to the soldiers, the two soldiers retreated.

At this time, Xiang Yu strode up to Pu Shan, personally untied the rope for him, and said with a loud smile: "You and I are our own masters. I don't blame you. Now, are you willing to surrender?"

"A man died on the battlefield, why not surrender?" Pu Shan decisively refused.

If it were in the past, Xiang Yu would definitely be furious and then kill Pu Shan. But this time, Xiang Yu felt pity because of Pu Shan's persistence and loyalty. He took off the cloak from his back and put it on Pu Shan.

Only then said with a smile: "The tyranny of the Qin State has devastated the people. It's time for everyone to rebel and abandon their relatives. All the rebels are just to restore the country, overthrow the tyrannical Qin, and let the people live a more prosperous life. Do you, General Pu, have to die in Dongyang County in vain?"

, is that what counts as a hero?”

"This..." Pu Shan hesitated a little, but Xiang Yu patted Pu Shan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Follow me, let's make achievements together and show our ambition as a man!"

Pu Shan did not hesitate this time, but knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General, for not giving up. If the General is willing to trust me, I am willing to go to Xutai County in person and persuade the county magistrate Chen Ying to surrender. Can you?"

Xiang Yu thought for a moment, then Yu Ziqi stood up and said: "Since General Pu is interested, why not let me go with him?"

Xiang Yu was interrupted by Yu Ziqi, who waved his hands and said with a smile: "Since General Pu has surrendered to me, why should I be worried?"

With that said, Xiang Yu walked up to Pu Shan, tidied Pu Shan's leather armor, and asked with a smile: "How many days will it take to get back?"

"If there is no accident, we will return in a few days." Pu Shan said with cupped hands. At this time, Xiang Yu had taken out his sword, an iron sword, from his arms, handed it to Pu Shan, and said with a smile: "I have stated with this sword

In my heart, I hope General Pu will return soon."

Xiang Yu's trust deeply moved Pu Shan. At this time, Pu Shan had tears in his eyes, nodding his head and singing a promise.

The day after Pu Shan left, Xiang Yu led his army to leave Dongyang County, leaving only one garrison commander to take over the city, waiting for Xiang Liang's main force to arrive. At this time, Xiang Yu headed toward the vicinity of Xutai County in a mighty manner.

On the south bank of the Huaihe River, we set up camp in Dazhai and waited for good news.

Ever since Xutai County learned that Dongyang County had been lost and the city was in flames, it closed the city and took strict precautions.

At this time, groups of Qin soldiers were patrolling the city. Groups of civilians who had just been recruited were laboriously transporting rolling wood and thunder stones to the city. Several large cauldrons were raised high, filled with dung soup, and the ones below were

The wood is also ready, and when the Chu army attacks the city, the cauldron will be lit.

Just when the city was busy, more than ten people suddenly came on horseback from the bottom of the city. They approached the city gate, led by a general, carrying a spear, and shouted loudly: "Immediate report from the city!

Pu Shan begs to see Mr. Chen."
