The battlefield was quickly counted, and more than 32,000 Jiujiang soldiers were captured, and the rest were killed.
Ding Congratulations, Lord, the temporary mission "Annihilate Yingbu" has been completed, and you have received a reward of 2000 points.
The system prompt sound reached Xiang Yu's ears.
Xiang Yu ordered people to reorganize and train these captured soldiers.
He selected 12,000 of them and found out who had the highest military rank among them and brought them to Xiang Yu.
"How do I call you, what is your position and position in the Jiujiang Army?"
Xiang Yu asked.
"Report to your Majesty, the younger one's surname is Zhang Mingqiang.
He serves as a captain in the Jiujiang Army.
He is from Cangwu Changsha."
"Well, you are also a descendant of Jingchu.
I will promote you to the rank of general and lead 12,000 soldiers to follow the general Xiangzhuang to recapture Lujiang.
Are you willing?"
Zhang Qiang quickly thanked him profusely.
Then he added: "Lujiang County currently has no more than 10,000 troops.
The day the army arrives at the administrative center, a message can be sent to the entire county.
In addition, this time Yingbu sent troops, he also organized a large number of ships to transport grain and grass from Hengshan and Lujiang counties.
Today we will Should arrive at Tongling Pier.”
After hearing this, Xiang Yu ordered thousands of men and horses to squat at Tongling Pier to receive ships and grain coming down the river.
Then Xiang Zhuang was asked to take 200 warriors and 12,000 new surrender troops to take over Lujiang County.
Three days later, Xiang Yu led the Kuaiji division and returned to Jinling with 20,000 surrendered soldiers.
The ships of Jiujiang Kingdom had already gone down the river to Jinling Pier.
On the way back to the army, Ji Bu, who was accompanying the army, asked: "Why is the king so relieved about these surrendered troops?"
Xiang Yu said with a smile: "I don't believe in them, I believe in myself.
Yingbu is dead.
As long as we maintain a good situation in Jiangdong, these Jiujiang soldiers will not rebel again.
Otherwise, let alone them, Kuaiji, so The county soldiers and local officials in Zhang and Zhang counties are likely to defect to the Han."
Outside Guangling City in Donghai County, now Yangzhou, a group of remnants of the army were approaching the city in small and small groups.
"Open the city gate quickly, I am Xiang Han, the left commander of the Chu army."
The leader shouted to the top of the city.
The defenders saw that this man didn't even have a mount and was dressed in rags, like a beggar.
I didn't believe what he said, so I just went to inform the guard Xiang Sheng.
Xiang Sheng climbed to the top of the city and looked down.
It was indeed Xiang Han.
He quickly asked the soldiers to open the city gate and let the remaining soldiers into the city.
After the two talked carefully, Xiang Sheng learned that Xiang Han was being hunted down by Guan Ying in Huainan, leaving only two thousand soldiers.
While fleeing, I heard that the Overlord had moved to Jiangdong.
Guangling was the only city north of the river that was still occupied by the Chu army, so I fled all the way to Guangling.
Xiang Sheng pondered for a moment and then said, "Guan Ying must be coming to Guangling soon, and a bloody battle in Guangling is inevitable."
Five days later, Guangling City was surrounded by Guanying's 50,000-strong army.
But Guan Ying frowned.
Under the city wall, corpses lay everywhere.
The flag of the Chu army at the top of the city is still hanging high.
The swarming Han troops fell to each other's powerful crossbows and the halberd array on the top of the city wall.
I have thought of every possible way, including diversion of water to flood the city, digging tunnels, rushing cars and crashing doors, and luring the enemy out of the city.

However, either there is no condition to implement it, or it has no effect at all after trying it.
At this time, a soldier from the Han camp came to report: "Report, the King of Han's military order has arrived."
He said while presenting a roll of bamboo slips.
On the bamboo slips, there are only eight characters: "quickly conquer Guangling and go south to Jiangdong."
Guan Ying sighed, and then another soldier came to report: "Report, the King of Qi's army has arrived."
There are also eight words on the bamboo slips to besiege Guangling.
Do not rush to attack.
This is not the first time Guan Ying has encountered this situation.
According to military law, he was subordinate to General Han Xin before.
Ever since he left Han Xin's army and raided Chu alone, the King of Han had frequently issued direct orders to him.
Then, Han Xin became the king, and Han Xin's subordinate troops, including him, naturally became the Qi army, at least in name.
Logically speaking, Liu Bang can no longer command him directly.
But Liu Bang still gave him direct military orders from time to time.
This put him in a dilemma.
Guan Ying thought for a while and issued a military order, and the entire army attacked Guangling at all costs.
Only by capturing Guangling as soon as possible can we get rid of this embarrassing situation.
Xiang Han, who was covered in blood, stabbed another Qi soldier off the city wall with a spear.
He couldn't even remember how many Qi soldiers he had killed today.
Under the city, tens of thousands of Qi troops climbed up the ladder desperately.
As soon as they showed their heads on the battlements at the top of the city, the Chu soldiers squatting on the inside of the city wall would all poke their halberds, piercing their heads and bodies, and then rise from the high ground.
The city head fell down.
Some soldiers stood on the top of the city and avoided the spear blades of the halberdiers, but they were immediately pierced by the roaring arrows.
Guan Ying's throat moved up and down, and he shouted one sentence at a time, "Get on the ladder truck."
A tall heavy vehicle was pushed out of the camp by Qi Jun.
This is a kind of stair car, which is simply a wooden staircase placed on the car seat.
Xiang Sheng, who was commanding the battle at the top of the city, saw this thing and ordered: "Prepare kerosene, gather the crossbowmen, and gather the reserve halberdiers."
The ladder truck was finally pushed to the foot of the city wall, but the door had not yet been opened.
The kerosene was poured out like a ladder truck, onto the wooden wall on the side of the building.
At this time, the highest hanging door was lowered and was placed on the city wall of Guangling City.
It also blocked the lower half of the carriage, making it impossible for the Chu army to throw torches to light the fire.
The Qi army swarmed out from the hanging door, and the powerful arrows fired from the powerful crossbows pierced their bodies.
These arrows were not fired in a swarm, but in batches of ten.
After the first batch of soldiers fell, the second batch of arrows arrived.
After firing, the crossbowmen immediately dispersed to both sides.
The Qi army fell down in batches in front of the ladder truck's hanging door, but the best crossbow arrows were quickly used up, and the next batch of crossbow arrows had not yet been loaded.
At this time, the Chu army's halberdiers swarmed up and intercepted the opponent, and the two sides fought hand-to-hand.
The halberds on both sides were densely intertwined, and the sound of clashes was endless.
Soldiers of the Chu army and Qi army continued to fall.
A steady stream of Qi troops poured out of the ladder carriages.
The Chu army gradually couldn't hold on anymore and gradually retreated.
The Qi army took the opportunity to spread to both sides along the city wall.
If this trend continues, it will be a matter of time before the city wall falls.
At this critical moment, the crossbowmen with ready arrows returned from both sides and fired at the dense crowd of Qi troops in the middle.
The soldiers fell in pieces, and the newly expanded front was compressed back.
There was a loud shout, and Xiang Han was seen carrying a wooden barrel and throwing it at the hanging door of the building.

The soldiers on the hanging door did not know what it was, so they dodged one after another.
Some people accidentally fell under the city and were shattered to pieces.
The barrel fell to pieces on the hanging door, and the kerosene inside flowed all over the hanging door.
A soldier next to Xiang Han threw the torch over.
The fire quickly ignited, and several burned Qi soldiers screamed and jumped to the bottom of the city tower.
The remaining Qi troops on the city wall were quickly cleared.
When the hanging door collapsed, the falling flaming object ignited the lower half of the ladder carriage.
The Guanying Division failed to capture Guangling even after suffering huge casualties.
But soon he encountered a bigger crisis.
