Chapter 6 Surrounding but not attacking
With a crisp "clang" sound, Ji Bu and Fu Kuan's swords and guns intersected, and sparks flashed in the darkness.
Fu Kuan felt the blood rushing in his chest, his hands holding the spear trembled continuously, and even the war horses were shaking. It seemed that he was not the opponent of Ji Bu, so it was more important to save his life. Fu Kuan took advantage of the opportunity of the two horses being kicked by mistake, and did not turn the horse's head and rushed out directly - this was a coward's behavior, but Fu Kuan no longer cared about so much. As long as he could escape, it was better than anything else.
Ji Bu turned his horse's head and saw that Fu Kuan rushed out directly instead of fighting with him again. He couldn't help but curse: "A timid man, a timid mouse, is he worthy of being a general?"
While Ji Bu was cursing, he saw a cavalry running out and chasing Fu Kuan.
"Who is he? Didn't you hear my order? This man is my own." Ji Bu's other people started to curse without obeying his orders and without looking at who it was.
Xiang Yu turned around and said angrily: "Ji Bu, does the Lone King also want to listen to your general order?"
Ji Bu finally saw clearly that the person chasing Fu Kuan was the overlord Xiang Yu. He couldn't help but be startled and his face was red with shame.
Xiang Yu's black horse was fast, and Fu Kuan's horse had already run far away, and the speed was significantly slower. Soon, Xiang Yu was less than half a horse from Fu Kuan. Xiang Yu swept the Huaji and smashed the back of the halberd on Fu Kuan's back. Fu Kuan, who was trapped and exhausted, suffered pain and fell off the horse. Just as he was about to turn over, he saw the dark Huaji pointing at his throat.
"Fu Kuan, if you don't surrender soon, when will you wait?" Xiang Yu shouted angrily, and the plants and trees three feet away seemed to be shocked. Fu Kuan's war horse was also shocked, raised his four hooves and ran away, leaving Fu Kuan's confusion in dust climbing on the ground.
Surrender or die? This is a difficult problem. Fu Kuan thought of a plan and quickly said, "Fu Kuan is willing to surrender, and hopes to show mercy under the Overlord's Sphernacle."
Xiang Yu removed the painting halberd and said with a smile: "Since you are willing to surrender, you can stop the army under your command, so as not to suffer countless casualties."
Fu Kuan had no choice but to climb up, and accompanied Xiang Yu to the battle formation between the two armies, shouting: "Listen to the Han army soldiers, listen to my orders, all of them will put down their weapons and flags and stand by on the spot."
When the Han army, who was fighting bloody, heard that the main generals surrendered and no longer had the fighting spirit, stopped resisting one by one, lowered their heads and threw all the spears and spears in their hands on the ground, stood up in dismay, waiting for the Chu army to drive away, like a gentle sheep. You must know that just now, they were like wild wolves with red eyes, biting the Chu army's armor and skin.
This is the ruthless mockery of fate.
At this time, Ji Bu also rushed to Xiang Yu to apologize: "The Overlord, the last general just made a mistake and hit the Overlord. I hope the Overlord will forgive him."
Xiang Yu laughed and said, "Ji Bu, you are my good brother Xiang Yu, who is wrong for a moment. Will the Gu King still punish you for his sins without compassion? Do you think Gu is the narrow-minded person with a narrow mind and a narrow mind?"
"I dare not." Ji Bu hurriedly bowed.
"Don't dare or not, go and check it out and see what the result of the battle is. After clicking it, come to the camp to report it." Xiang Yu said with a smile.

Although the Chu army camp was in a mess, under Zhonglimei's cleaning, the fire had been put out and the tents were rebuilt. Xiang Yu led the generals to the central army camp to promote the tent. Fu Kuan first knelt down and apologized: "My minister Fu Kuan, I am willing to surrender to the overlord."
"Okay, it's always a good thing for General Fu to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. But the general is tired all night. Let's go to the camp prepared by me to have a good rest. When the city is attacked tomorrow, we still need the general to help us." Xiang Yu nodded and smiled.
After hearing the words, Fu Kuan had to say goodbye and follow a guard down.
The reason why Fu Kuan was led away was because Xiang Yu was skeptical of his surrender. According to historical records, Fu Kuan was a loyal general. His sudden surrender may be a fraud.
"Everyone, the attack on Pengcheng today is a failure. After this battle, Wang Ling will be more cautious. I don't know what good strategies you have to break the city. Please come quickly." Xiang Yu sat down and asked the generals in the tent for advice.
"Overlord, I will give the last general 30,000 elite soldiers tomorrow, and the last general will decide to take down Pengcheng." Ji Bu asked for battle.
In his eyes, Pengcheng was nothing more than the small cities he had captured and the city walls were stronger. As long as he drove the army to siege the city with a ladder, it took two days to take the city down. How long can Wang Ling be trapped in an isolated city?
"Forcibly attacking the city is not advisable. If it cannot be defeated, morale will be damaged. When Han Xin's army arrives, Wang Ling will attack from the inside and outside, and our army will suffer a great loss. It is inappropriate." Xiang Yu shook his head and denied Ji Bu's resolution.
The plan proposed by Ji Bu was the common meaning of all generals. At this moment, the overlords disagreed, so they all hung their heads and kept silent.
"I thought our army could siege the city without attacking, waiting for Han Xin to come to support." Seeing that everyone was not talking, Xiang Yu took out his ideas and let everyone discuss.
"The Overlord said just now. If Han Xin arrives and attacks Wang Ling on both sides, our army will be in danger. Why does the Overlord still siege the city without attacking?" Zhong Li Mei said inexplicably. He also asked many generals about the doubts in their hearts. Why are the Overlord's words contradictory?
"Siege the city without attacking, use this to attack the helper." Xiang Yu said with a smile.
"Siege the city and fight for help?" Zhong Limei's eyes lit up, "Omb King, this is a good idea."
Xiang Yu's eyes flashed with a gleam and he smiled and said, "If Han Xin comes to rescue, he will inevitably leave Pei or Xia Pi. At that time, I will order people to set up ambushers in these two places. If the Han army arrives, he can let him go. When the Han army contacts the army that besieged the city, the ambushers will be killed from behind, and the Han army will be defeated. What do you think?"
"The Overlord's magic trick is awesome, I'm not as good as I can." The generals shouted in unison.

In Pengcheng, in the meeting hall of the Guardian Mansion, the general Wang Ling was so naughty that he shouted sternly: "Come here, bring Xiang Sheng up."
The tiger-like soldier escorted Xiang Sheng to the meeting hall. Seeing Wang Ling’s face twisted, Xiang Sheng knew that the Han army had suffered a great loss, but his face did not change color. He bowed to Wang Ling and said, “I don’t know what is the important thing for General Wang to call villains to come?”
"Important matter?" Wang Ling sneered, with murderous aura in his eyes, and said, "You bold Xiang Sheng, who actually surrendered and deceived me. If you don't dismember your five horses today, how can you relieve my hatred?"
"Five horses are dismembered? Hahahaha," Xiang Sheng laughed without fear, "Xiang Sheng is here to surrender. He knows that there is such a disaster. Not to mention the five horses are dismembered, even if they are cut into pieces, they are not worthy of Xiang's surname. It's just General Wang, you, a hero, have been ruined for a lifetime. Today, you are angry and embarrassed. The general has no demeanor, and you are afraid of laughing at the world."
"Oh, Xiang Sheng, who is sharp-tongued, is he still dares to be stubborn. Come on, serve him with someone." Wang Ling bit his tiger teeth and shouted.

At that time, there seemed to be many cases of cooking people in oil pans, and other tortures were probably not popular, so I borrowed them. (To be continued)
