Xia Ye raised the wine bowl: "Brother Lu, you and I will become sworn brothers. I can't say what I admire for you." Lu Matong thought to himself, the better you treat me, the more idiot you act, the less I can't bear to harm you. But there is no way, everyone is their own masters, Xiang Yu is sorry for me, I just have to fight back. But, brother Xia Ye, General Tu, you are all victims. There is no way, this is forced by society.

Lu Matong stood up, took out the dagger from his arms, and said in tears, "We are brothers." He cut his fingers with a knife, and the red blood dripped like pearls, and the wine bowl was immediately white and red. Xia Ye also cried, and took out the dagger and cut his fingers. The blood of the two people blended in the bowl.

The two of them looked at each other and held their hands tightly together.

Xia Ye thought, I have another brother who shares life and death.

Lu Matong thought to himself that this kid likes to act emotionally the most, and if this happens, he may die of drinking.

Sure enough, because Xia Ye was in a good mood, he drank even more vigorously. After a while, two jars of fine wine fell into his belly. Although Lu Matong shouted loudly, the actual wine was indeed limited. Xia Ye was dizzy and didn't notice it. After an hour, he climbed under the table. The snoring sounded, and no one could wake up even if he was like a dead pig.

At this time, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and there is only one hour left before the attack time agreed with the King of Qin.

At this time, the Qin army was secretly crossing the river.

The defense line of the Chu army was solid, but the Qin army had planned for too long and had already found the weak links of the entire river. The person responsible for commanding the crossing of the river was Chen Xi, the general of Qin State. After Chen Xi crossed the river, Ying Buhui led a mixed army of infantry and cavalry to the city of Xingyang, followed by Fan Kuai and Qin Ai's chariot soldiers, Wang Zhu and Canghai Jun Qin Shooting Jin Qiang Huan Yan Li Xin Yongchi and others, and then arrived. Wang Zhu hoped that after he crossed the river, the battle had ended. This was also what he emphasized repeatedly before the battle began.

Therefore, Chen Xi was very burdened and he was very nervous. He had been guarding the ferry for nearly two hours, and finally he had the opportunity to change the two teams of Chu soldiers. Chen Xi directed the soldiers to use a small and light raft to take advantage of the night to force the ferry. A raft could carry about fifty soldiers, and there were twenty crossbowmen in the front rows, half kneeling on the raft, and all the soldiers behind were rowing the oars. Therefore, they were first-class in terms of speed and safety. There were fifty rafts that were launched at one time, with a total of about 2,500 people. Once these people were forced to cross, the beachhead position would belong to the Qin army. What happened later would inevitably come naturally.

Chen Xi's palm was about to sweat, and he kept looking straight at the center of the river. At this time, a thin layer of mist was floating on the river, and all the sailors were hiding in the mist, and only a slight sound of paddling was heard, and the darkness covered everything. The torch of the Chu army opposite could only shine three meters away from the river bank. When there, the Qin army's archers could fire thousands of arrows at the same time. The casualties were inevitable, but it should not be too large.

The Chu army's defense was still very serious, because there were a group of tigers and wolves living opposite them. Countless cavalry and infantry patrolled the river with torches crossing, staring at the chaotic river center. Perhaps because they were too sleepy and knew that the Qin army's raft had passed the average distance, the Chu army was still dull and did not react at all. Chen Xi kept hammering his thighs, thinking that things would be done.

After another incense stick, the raft was approaching five feet tall. The Chu army opposite felt threatened, and at the same time, he heard the sound of slamming paddlings, and someone immediately shouted, "Oh no, someone crossed the river." The horn sounded immediately soaring into the sky, with the intention of notifying the Chu army inside and outside the city to prepare for battle. Chen Xi didn't care about this, because he knew in advance that Lu Matong responded in the city. The horn sounded undoubtedly informing Lu Matong to prepare for opening the city gate.

Each raft of the Qin army rushed to the opposite side like an arrow under the rowing of thirty people. When entering the three-meter-long fire, the Chu army on the opposite side had not yet been lined up, but the arrows had already been ruthlessly designed, and screamed on the rafts and many people fell into the water. The problem is that the distance between these rafts is too far away, and the entire river is almost everywhere. The Chu army has no way to conduct a concentrated attack. This ship sank, and suddenly one in the distance in the darkness, rushed over in the blink of an eye, and quickly jumped onto the shore, like a modern vehicle "dog riding a rabbit".

While the Chu army was shooting, they were also fighting back on the raft. The two sides launched each other and suffered casualties. However, because the Qin army's front line was too long and the side that took the initiative to attack, the Chu army lost sight of each other, and inadvertently five or six hundred people rushed to the shore. The sound of killing, screams and clanging sounds were everywhere on the shore, and they had entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.

Xiang Sheng was responsible for defending the river outside the city. But Xiang Sheng was angry that Tu Gangqiu sent him out to suffer, so he went outside the city to find a woman for fun, resulting in no coach on the river bank and no leader. Chen Xi's more than 2,000 advance team quickly landed. Chen Xi saw that he was successful, and without hesitation, he sounded the horn and sent a signal to the reserve army. At the same time, thousands of rafts rushed into the water. The Chu army on the shore persisted for an hour, and was defeated by the Qin army who had landed one after another, and retreated to Xingyang City behind him crying and shouting.

Tu Gangqiu had heard the sound of the horns on the shore and knew that the Qin army had launched an attack. However, he did not care very much, because Xiang Sheng should be there. Knowing that Tu Gangqiu heard the report, he said that Xiang Sheng was not sure where he was. The Qin army crossed the river in a large number, so he was panicked. If the Qin army was allowed to drive to the city and Xiang Sheng was blocked outside, he would not be able to explain to the King of Chu. After all, Xiang Sheng was Xiang Yu's clan brother.

After thinking about it, Tu Gangqiu made a decision. He decided to go out of the city to rescue Xiang Sheng himself. As for the city defense, he gave it to Lu Matong with all his power. If Lu Matong had not shown extraordinary talents in the past few days, Tu Gangqiu would not dare to lead troops out of the city, but at this moment he was very relieved that Lu Matong would never be able to enter the city with the Qin army. People, ability is one aspect, and mental skills are more important. Tu Gangqiu only took Lu Matong's ability, but did not examine his loyalty, and rashly entrusted important tasks. This failure was not entirely a lucky draw. Tu Gangqiu should bear certain responsibilities.

Lu Matong was secretly happy, but he agreed. Tu Gangqiu warned and said emotionally, "Ma Tong, I will definitely come back within two hours, and you must resist it no matter what. When I save Xiang Sheng, I will fight against the Qin army inside and outside." Lu Matong said in a deep voice, "Old General, please rest assured. If the enemy comes, I will only deal with them with the depth of the city and will definitely drag them to death. Wait for the old general to lead people to seize the way out."

Tu Gangqiu was completely relieved, ordered 20,000 cavalry and shouted out of the city; "Go to the river and rescue General Xiang Sheng." The suspension bridge and the city gate made a rattle of rattle, and the iron hooves stomped on the ground, crossed the moat, and rushed into the darkness in the distance. Lu Matong suddenly wanted to kneel down and thank God. Isn't this intention to make me stand up? Moreover, there is no need to turn against Tu Gangqiu, good, good, good.

The problem is that there is still a troublesome Xia Ye, what should he do? Xia Ye is drunk now like a dead pig, and he can kill him by just picking up a knife, but Lu Matong couldn't bear it and couldn't do it.

When Tu Gangqiu arrived by the river, more than 100,000 troops of the Qin army had already passed through the river. These people were divided into two routes, one led by Chen Xi and Fan Kuai, and started a desperate battle with the Chu army by the river. Most of these people were infantry. The remaining cavalry, led by King Yingbu of Huainan, bypassed Tu Gangqiu's troops and headed straight to the west gate of Xingyang City. Tu Gangqiu of course knew that they were going to attack the city, but his limited troops could not be stopped. He thought, fortunately, there was Lu Matong there. Tu Gangqiu rushed left and right and killed for a long time, and the more the enemy killed, the more they killed, like mushrooms springing after a rain, and rushed out. After a while, even the chariots were transported by rafts. The most annoying thing was that Xiang Sheng had not come back yet.

Tu Gangqiu had no choice but to take his troops back. When he turned around, a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body. It was over, and he couldn't go back. There were too many Qin troops. The 20,000 Chu cavalry were like a group of black ants caught in a vortex. There was nothing else to do except to go with the flow and be submerged one by one. Tu Gangqiu was stupid. He miscalculated the attack of the Qin army. Tu Gangqiu first led his troops out of the city because he concluded that the Qin army crossed the river this time was just a tentative attack, because this was a war practice. No one would press all the treasures up in the situation when it was unclear. What if he got ambushed? But he never expected that the rising star Lu Matong, whom he admired the most, was actually a spy. The Qin army did not want to do any tentative attacks anymore. As soon as he got up, the whole army was dispatched.

There were 400,000 Guanzhong troops, including 500,000 or 60,000 troops left behind in Chenggao, a total of less than 500,000. Wang Zhu invested 350,000. There were only 120,000 to 130,000 people left in Chenggao City, led by Wang Ao and Xin Sheng.

Thirty-five thousand men! Ying Bu took away 70,000 cavalry. That is to say, the Qin army surrounded Tu Gangqiu at this moment, with 280,000 people. Twenty-eight thousand men! The black heads were covered by the river bank like dark clouds. The light reflected from swords, guns, swords and halberds was enough to make the river water transparent, and the murderous hair could stand up. Tu Gangqiu instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this. The Qin army had no movement for so many days, so why did the entire army go out as soon as they came up? Aren’t they afraid of advancing and retreating?

It was too late to think about this. Tu Gangqiu thought that whether he could survive was second to him. He must defend Xingyang, and be worthy of the King of Chu and the millions of Chu people.

Just when Tu Gangqiu was at a loss and his brothers were killed and injured, Wang Zhu, Canghaijun, Yong Chi and others had already crossed the river bank.

Wang Zhu was wearing heavy armor, and on the left was Canghaijun's right was Qin Sho, who came with a storm and bloody storm. Canghaijun shook his two hammers, and most of the Chu cavalry and horses turned into meat cakes. Qin Shooting was one arrow, with extremely accurate accuracy. Wang Zhu took the lead in copper stick and headed straight for Tu Gangqiu, the red tassel general riding on the horse. When the Qin soldiers saw the king's arrival, their morale surged and the sound of protecting the carriage resounded throughout the sky, and the atmosphere of war was instantly pushed to the top. Countless Qin cavalry and infantry were pressing over like Tu Gangqiu, and the Chu cavalry guarding the outside of Tu Gangqiu died one by one, and the circle became smaller and smaller.

Wang Zhu swept across the copper stick, killing the last two Chu soldiers who blocked their sight, leaving only one horse's body away from Tu Gangqiu. Tu Gangqiu had turned into a bloody man at this time, but he was still unparalleled in bravery. Every minute, more than ten Qin soldiers who died at his hands, and the dead bodies that fell beside him had blocked the rotation of the horse's hooves. Wang Zhu deliberately tricked Tu Gangqiu and shouted loudly, "Well, that Chu general, I am the King of Qin Ying Hu Hai, do you dare to come over and fight with me to the death?"

Tu Gangqiu was already fighting with the belief that he would die, but he didn't expect that he would hear such exciting news at this time. This good thing for capturing the thief and capturing the king must be done. Even if you can't catch the King of Qin and die with him, it would be worthy of the people of Chu. Tu Gangqiu's eyes were wide open, and his brilliance burst into flames. His eyes were right at Wang Zhu's face. Wang Zhu's whole body was as if he was pierced by two sharp swords. He secretly praised him in his heart. He was indeed a powerful general. Tu Gangqiu roared angrily, and the three Qin soldiers who were swaying in the big sword, had become six divisions and flew everywhere.

Tu Gangqiu came straight to Wang Zhu, ignoring the sword spears and swords that stabbed him from front, back, left and right. He just chopped Wang Zhu's head. Wang Zhu dodged to the side, and Canghaijun's sledgehammer had been handed out. With a clanging sound, Tu Gangqiu's sledgehammer was shaken and flew out. One of his right arm was paralyzed and couldn't get up. Wang Zhu smiled indifferently, "Shoot him to death!"

Before he could command Qin She to bend her bow and arrow, "Peng" loosened his hand and hit the panic-like Tu Gangqiu's neck. Tu Gangqiu dodged for a while, and the arrow shot tilted and missed the point. Tu Gangqiu was not caught off guard. He even bravely pulled out his sword and rushed towards Wang Zhu, who was proud and only crossed the horse.

Wang Zhu watched him pounce, and did not hide or dodge.

"Clang!" Tu Gangqiu hit Wang Zhu's chest with a knife. The shining pale blade made a crisp sound and broke into three pieces. Tu Gangqiu was shocked, and blood flew down from his neck. The Qin soldiers around him immediately came up and chopped them up and chopped them into meat sauce.

Wang Zhu laughed and announced in public, "I am the true emperor, and I am invulnerable to swords and guns. Such a foolish person does not know the current affairs and will die more. God's punishment is really God's punishment."

As soon as Tu Gangqiu died, the Chu cavalry, who had already been in desperate situation, were even more unable to support the crisis. They chose to surrender one after another. However, because there were too many Qin troops and at night, the command of the arrows failed to make a large extent. The Qin army that was slashing and slaughtering did not receive the order to stop the attack in time, and all 20,000 Chu cavalry were buried under the knife.
