One hundred and eighty eighth overlord

"Break our way out?"

After hearing the news, Xiang Yu looked disdainful, and his hands were clenched with "grace" sounded, and said to Xiang Liang: "Hongnong is not Yique, and our uncle and nephew are not Tang Mei. Is it useful to cut off our retreat?"

Xiang Liang was not nervous about the sudden situation and agreed with Xiang Yu's words: "The food and grass in the army can support it for a month and a half, and it is still unknown who wins and who loses."

Hongnong County is flat and vast, with a radius of hundreds of miles. There are also counties such as Shaanxi, Huxian, Caoyang and other cities around the Chu army camp; while the Qin army in the West is still stationed in Huayin, 150 miles away, which is completely different from the situation where Tang Mei was surrounded in the Yique Valley.

The 100,000 Chu troops led by Tang Mei were surrounded by enemies, with no strategic depth, facing the Qin army, which was twice as good as himself and had a geographical advantage, could only end up being slaughtered.

The Chu army led by Xiang Liang was different. It was just that the road to retreat from Hongnong to the east was cut off. The army could still continue to advance westward and attack Huayin. Or it could capture the county towns around Hongnong, Shaanxi and Jin, and hold on to the waiting for assistance. Or it could collect ships across the Yellow River and enter the territory of Ji Kingdom, and then run eastward to Tang Kingdom.

In short, Xiang Liang has many choices, which cannot be compared with Tang Mei who has no way to go.

Xiang Yu ordered people to erect a ladder in front of the commander's tent and personally climbed up to the Qin army from the east to look out. "It seems that this Qin army does not have much advantage in military strength. Our army can completely counterattack and defeat it."

Xiang Liang hesitated: "Bai Qi is known as the largest general of Chu. He has gone on a war many times before and has never lost his fortune. I think we should capture Hongnong City first and stand firm and wait for assistance?"

Hongnong City is located at the junction of Qin and Zhou royal families. It is currently controlled by the Zhou royal family. There are only about two thousand soldiers and horses in the city. One hundred thousand Chu troops can completely destroy the city in one go.

But Xiang Yu showed a strong fighting spirit, drew his sword and asked for battle loudly: "Bai Qi had never been defeated but had not met our uncle and nephew. This time he came from Yique over mountains and ridges, and his troops were exhausted. Our army counterattacked and might be able to defeat his military power."

Zhonglimei, Ji Bu, Yu Ziqi and others held their fists to support Xiang Yu: "We think that Xiang Zhi General's words are reasonable and if he is not prepared, he may have unexpected gains."

Xiang Liang pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed: "Since you are full of fighting spirit, then launch an attack on the Qin army and let Bai Qi taste the power of our Great Chu Xiong Army! Let the people of Qin know that the soldiers of our Great Chu are also brave and good at fighting, and are definitely not lambs that can be slaughtered."

After Xiang Liang's reply, Xiang Yu was overjoyed and ordered Zhongli Mei to lead 30,000 people on the left, Ji Bu led 30,000 people on the right, and he and Yu Ziqi led 30,000 people to stay in the middle, Xiang Liang led 10,000 people to support the palace and rush to help at any time.

"The warriors of the Great Chu, follow me to charge!"

Xiang Yu roared, Fei Zhun's black horse under his crotch, and carried a dragon splatter to break the city with his hands. He took the lead and led 30,000 Chu troops to attack the Qin army like a tide.

"Charge at the pace of General Xiang Ji!"

Zhonglimei and Ji Bu on both wings shouted, waved their weapons, and led the Chu army behind them to attack the Qin army from all over the mountains and fields.

Ninety thousand Chu soldiers were divided into three groups, like tigers going down the mountain, or like torrents raging, trampling smoke and dust rolling, and the tide surged towards the Qin army formation like a tide.

"The Chu army actually took the initiative to attack our army?"

Bai Qi was a little surprised to see the Chu army coming in full force. It seemed that he underestimated Uncle and Nephew Xiang Liang. This Chu army was simply incomparable to the Chu army commanded by Tang Mei.

"Maybe this is what the saying goes, "

Bai Qi spat, drew his sword and unsheathed it, and directed the Qin army to fight forward, "Zhang Han is on the left and Wang Ao is on the right. This general and Fan Yuqi are in the middle, with 40,000 people each. We must block the counterattack of the Chu army."

"Kill, the Qin Dynasty will win, and the Chu army will be defeated!"

Under Bai Qi's command, the Qin army also divided into three groups, and all 120,000 soldiers were put into battle, unsheathed swords, and shouted and roared to fight westward.

Between the heaven and earth, two armies were like tides of hedge. In the blink of an eye, they met on a narrow road, and the sound of fighting shook the sky and the earth and resounded throughout the valley.

First, the crossbowmen from both sides shot each other and poured arrows like rain into each other's formation. There were countless people who fell to the ground with arrows, and screams came one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the two sides fought each other in close combat, hundreds of thousands of soldiers raised their swords and guns, roaring and shouting, slashing hard at the other party, splashing blood everywhere, and broken limbs everywhere.

"The Great Chu Xiang is here, and those who block me will die!"

Xiang Yu roared like thunder, and a long halberd was flying, and no one could stop him in front of the horse. Every halberd was slashed out and he would take a life.

In just one meal, more than one hundred Qin troops died under Xiang Yu's halberd, and their blood-stained robes were killed, with blood stained on their faces.

Under Xiang Yu's leadership, the Chu army was very morale, and they all slashed with swords and spears, and the Qin army led by Bai Qi retreated step by step.

Among the chaos, an eight-foot-tall Chu army captain charged bravely, flying up and down in his hand. Every time he shot out, he would overturn a Qin soldier. After Xiang Yu, no one could stop him.

The Qin army, who died under his gun, was not inferior to Xiang Yu, and also assassinated nearly a hundred people.

"Hey...what is the name of the captain?"

Xiang Yu looked at him sideways, wielding his halberd to kill the enemy, and shouting loudly.

The lieutenant stabbed a Qin army general and took down his horse. He loudly reported his name: "The villain Zhang Dingbian was promoted to the lieutenant by General Xiang a few days ago."

Xiang Yu praised: "Your martial arts are only a handful in our Great Chu. Today, you are brave enough to fight the enemy. Xiang Jie now promotes you to a general. I hope to continue to work hard!"

"Thank you, General Xiang!"

Zhang Dingbian was very excited, and roared, poked a Qin soldier with a gun, and suddenly provoked it with his gun and threw it into the Qin army formation, and knocked down another person.

"Didn't Qin have no decent generals?"

Xiang Yu shouted violently, and the dragon halberd in his hand slashed in the air, splitting a Qin general in front of him into two. The shocked Qin army suddenly shivered and subconsciously retreated one after another.

Xiang Yu looked up and found that Bai Qi's handsome flag was only about 1,500 feet away from him. He could vaguely see a general in his forties, with a tiger-backed and bear-backed waist commanding the Qin army to fight. He knew that this person was Bai Qi.

"Capture the king first. As long as Bai Qi is killed in the formation, why worry about the Qin army's undefeated?"

Xiang Yu made up his mind and urged the horse to go forward and take the Qin army's commander flag. "Sons, follow my steps, rush straight to the Qin army's commander flag, and kill Bai Qi in front of the formation, so that Qin State can know the power of my Great Chuxiong Army!"

The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and the three thousand Chu cavalry followed Xiang Yu and Zhang Dingbian's steps, rushing through the Qin army formation like a dragon, and rushing straight to the Qin army's commander flag.

"Xiang Jixiu is going to be rampant, Fan Yuqi is here!"
