Hundreds of boats roamed around, retrieving Han soldiers who had fallen into the water.
If these Han soldiers tried to escape by swimming, they would be shot dead by the shooters on the boats.
Eventually, hundreds of captured Han soldiers were gathered on a small island in the lake and put under guard.
The Han navy naval captain was escorted to Xiang Yu.
He knew that the person in front of him was Xiang Yu, and his heart was already in a state of confusion.
"Where are you from?
What's your surname?"
Xiang Yu asked.
"The younger one is from Yiling, Badong.
His name is Du Wan."
"It turns out you are also a descendant of Jingchu.
Do you want to die or get a reward?"
"Of course I don't want to die," the man said quickly after hearing that there was still hope of living.
Jiangling City, with only 2,000 men garrisoned, had its four gates closed throughout the day.
On this day, five medium-sized fishing boats suddenly appeared on the Yunmengze River outside the north gate.
More than 40 people dressed as porters jumped out of the boat.
Under the leadership of Du Wan, the captain of the Han Navy Navy, they carried burdens and walked towards the city.
There is also an "entourage" behind Du Wan.
If he makes the slightest move, the entourage will kill him immediately.
When they arrived at the north gate, they were stopped by the Han troops on the tower.
"Stop and move forward, I will shoot.
Who are you and what are you going to do?"
The captain smiled and said to the city: "This brother on the city, please report to your peak quickly.
I am Du Wan, the navy captain.
You were on our ship last time."
After a while, the guard came to the top of the city after receiving the report and asked: "Brother Du Wan, why don't you go back to the water village outside the south gate?
What are you doing here?"
"Hey, it's like this, brother, when I was leading a patrol in Yunmengze, I passed by a fish farm on Huarong Island in Yunmengze.
The owner of his farm heard that my king was marching south, so he sent several boats of fresh fish, dolphin meat and fine wine.
To reward the three armies.
Some of the ships were given to the brothers who defended the city, so I brought them here. " This kind of situation is common in troubled times.
Every time a place is conquered, some local powerful people always come to curry favor with the "King Master" in order to pave the way for the distribution of local interests in the future.
The Han soldiers were not surprised.
Some soldiers had poked their heads out of the crenels, looking around, thinking about fish, meat and wine.
After watching at the top of the city, the guard saw that there were only about forty people on the other side, and with Du Wan following him, there must be no surprise.
After deploying their troops, they opened the city gate.
The porters began to enter Jiangling with their burdens, but the guard shouted again: "Wait a minute, only twenty people are allowed to enter at a time.
After putting down their belongings, they will exit the city.
Then enter again."
Then he smiled and said to Du Wan: "Du Wan Brother, I'm sorry, I don't believe you.
It's really my duty. " Du Wan remained silent and made a gesture, and the twenty people walked towards the city gate.
They found that both sides of the street inside the city gate were lined with Han soldiers holding halberds and bows.
When these twenty people walked to the door, they suddenly got into trouble, pulled out the dagger from the burden, and then threw the burden hard on the bluestone at the entrance to the city.
There was a ping-ping-ping-ping sound of pottery breaking, and the "wine" in the jar was heard.
"It's flowing all over the floor.

Before the several Han soldiers who opened the door could react, they were stabbed to the core with short knives.
Almost at the same time, the Han soldiers in the city reacted and fired arrows with their bows.
The soldiers with halberds also began to rush over.
These "porters" immediately exited the city gate, and one of them threw the fire that had been prepared into the kerosene flowing all over the ground.
The fire suddenly burst into flames, sealing the city gate tightly.
Xiang Yu originally brought the components of the city-breaking machine, but in order to use it, he had to transport the various components to the shore and then assemble them.
To do this, he needed to set up camp in front of the city.
It takes some time before and after, so try to use this strategy to capture the city quickly.
The Han troops in the city were blocked by the flames and could not see the targets outside the city, so they could not continue shooting with bows and arrows.
Some halberd-wielding soldiers who were rushing out of the city were caught off guard.
Their clothes were set ablaze by the fire, and they rolled on the ground in pain.
Another twenty soldiers of the Chu army had already taken out their bows and arrows from their burdens and started shooting at the top of the city.
These twenty people were all blast archers.
At this time, they gave priority to sniping the archers at the top of the city.
An arrow flew past the guard's cheek with a whoosh, frightening him to take a few steps back, not daring to expose his head again.
The Han soldiers next to him were not so lucky.
After several screams, several of them fell to the ground.
Fifty heavy infantrymen with shields and swords rushed out from the five fishing boats behind them, rushing towards the city gate at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
From the reeds in the distance, small boats filled with soldiers emerged.
After the Han generals guarding the city realized that they had been deceived, they calmed down after a brief panic and immediately ordered their soldiers to bring water to put out the fire.
Only after the fire was extinguished could the city gate be closed again, and in order to prevent the city gate from being burned down, it was necessary to close the city gate as soon as possible.
Put out the fire.
Although this kind of oil fire cannot be extinguished with water, it can be dispersed by water.
Not long after, Han soldiers rushed towards the city gate carrying large and small buckets.
Twenty wind archers outside the city gate and another twenty warriors who had taken arm crossbows from behind saw the fire in the cave being dispersed by water and fired arrows continuously.
Forty arrows were concentrated and shot continuously over an area as large as the doorway.
You can imagine how dense the arrows were.
Behind the city gate, a large number of Han soldiers who were about to rush into the entrance were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
Most of these soldiers did not wear armor.
Even if they did wear armor, it was just a vest made of armor pieces.
Therefore, there is almost no resistance to the arrows of the Gale Archer.
The Chu army's fifty heavy infantrymen with shields and swords took advantage of this opportunity and rushed forward.
They formed a square formation with ten columns and five rows in the city gate to block the gate.
They advanced to the end of the corridor and stopped at the gate. pace.
Forty wind archers and warrior warriors from behind also quickly entered the doorway.
Provide long-range support for the heavy infantry behind the shield wall.
The guard ordered the North City Gate to be recaptured at all costs.
He knew that if he could not do this, Jiangling would inevitably fall.
The soldiers of the Han army on the four walls of the city gathered towards the north, and the crossbowmen on the top of the city also gathered towards the north gate.
However, the Han army in the city was helpless about this "tortoise shell" for a while.
If they tried to step forward and lift their halberds to draw away the opponent's shield, they would be injured by the opponent's arrows.
Shooting with bows and arrows, but it can't do anything to the opponent's "turtle shell", and it is difficult to hurt the Chu army's crossbowmen who use the "turtle shell formation" in front as a cover.
On the contrary, their own archers continue to be hit by arrows and fall down.
If you crouch and bully someone close, you will be stabbed to death by the opponent's dagger suddenly coming out.
Not long after, there were dozens of corpses of Han soldiers on the street opposite the city gate.

At this time, a large number of Chu troops came ashore in small boats.
The guard general came up with an idea in a hurry.
He asked people to quickly find a long log, which was carried by more than a dozen people and hit the opponent's shield wall.
The people carrying the log were protected by shield soldiers at the front.
After a while, the Han army found logs and rushed towards the opponent's turtle shell array according to the defender's method.
This move really worked.
A "gap" was opened in the Chu army's shield wall, and several heavy infantrymen with shields and swords were killed.
Knocked to the ground.
The front shield was also cracked.
At this time, the centurion commanding these shield soldiers suddenly shouted "kill".
Everyone no longer stood firm in the line, but all moved forward to kill, quickly killing more than a dozen Han soldiers carrying logs.
Then they formed a simple small formation and continued to kill deep into the depths.
And behind them were the main forces of the Chu army that had already swarmed:
