Xiang Zhuang was shocked.

Bai Xi led a team of wet bare hands and empty-handed soldiers shouted wildly: "General, let's go quickly, we will swear to cover you to break through the siege." Xiang Zhuang saw that there was no path ahead, and there were ambushes on the left and right roads, so he could not walk at all. Unless he retreated, the city was flooded, and he couldn't survive even when he returned. He was stunned for a moment.

Bai Xi shouted, "General, please go quickly." Xiang Zhuang raised his sword in his hand and sighed, "Ambushes are everywhere, go there, this is your and my burial place, let's fight."

"Fight, fight!" Baixi and the five thousand Chu troops shouted in a row. The two ambushed soldiers of Qin had already reached their sight. Xiangzhuang and Baixi divided their troops to meet the enemy in two groups. Four people and trains collided with sparks, and screams immediately cut through the sky and the clouds. The exhausted Chu army, who was naked and fistless, had a passion, and their physical strength had been emptied, leaving only the slaughter. When they came into contact with the ambush soldiers of the Qin army, they fell down like sorghum stalks.

Xiang Zhuang felt that his arm was as heavy as a thousand pounds and could not be lifted at all. Even if he was forced to lift it, he could not be swung it. Even if he swung it out, he was still soft. He barely chopped and killed several Qin soldiers, and his eyes were already visible and his steps were floating. A Qin cavalry rushed to him and shouted and poked it with a spear. Xiang Zhuang turned sideways, grabbed the spear with his left hand, cut off the soldier with one sword, pulled the corpse down from the horse's back, and then jumped onto the horse's back. At this time, Bai Xi also snatched a war horse and shouted to Xiang Zhuang to escape quickly. Xiang Zhuang rode his horse to the left for a crossroads. The wailing sound of the troops behind him shook the sky. In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen brothers lay in a pool of blood.

Without caring about so much, Xiang Zhuang and Bai Xi rode their horses desperately, with only one thought in their minds. I will come back one day to take revenge. The Qin soldiers who blocked the way were killed by two generals and had nowhere to hide. The boundless formation seemed to have been opened by a gap. The two of them were secretly happy, thinking that they would escape from the sky and ride their horses more quickly. Suddenly, a silver light flashed, and the sword in Xiang Zhuang's hand seemed to be loaded on a mountain, which made his arms sore and numb, and his sword body bounced back.

Luan Bu Heng's horse stood in front of the two, shouting angrily; "The two poor enemies still want to escape, that's so easy." Xiang Zhuang's war horse was shocked by this blow and turned around. When he turned around, he saw clearly that the majestic Luan Bu Yingzi was blocking in front of him. Bai Xi Heng's knife blocked Xiang Zhuang and said, "General, go quickly, I'll deal with him."

Luan Bu laughed and said, "Stop pretending to be garlic, no one can leave." He quickly rushed towards Baixi. Baixi waved his sword to meet him, and tried his best to cut Luan Bu under the knife. However, at this time, he was exhausted and could not make any more than 100 of his own skills. Luan Bu could see at a glance that he was at the end of his strength. The spearhead shook, and he picked up a beautiful spear flower. The spearhead was diagonally drawn, and passed through the shadow of Baixi like lightning. At an incredible angle, he stabbed Baixi's left shoulder. Baixi groaned, blood splattered, and fell from the saddle. Luan Bu shouted loudly, "Capture this person alive." The Qin soldiers who were laying the cloth came up with all their hands and feet, and put them on the left shoulder.

The bloody Baixi tied up and pressed into the back team. Luan Bu turned around like a war horse and ran away, chasing Xiangzhuang, who was hiding desperately, shouting while chasing, "Baixi has been captured alive, and you will die if you don't surrender!" Xiangzhuang was more than twenty feet away from Luan Bu. This sentence was clearly heard. The wind whirred in his ears, his heart was broken. He looked back quickly and saw that Baixi was indeed not seen. He felt a sense of sorrow in his heart. A black storm mixed with silver lightning had already bullied behind him. Only sharp blades were heard in the earlobes. When he lowered his head, Luan Bu's iron spear swept across his head. With a "clang" sound, he swept the tassels and his hair bun immediately scattered, blocking his sight.

Xiang Zhuang shouted angrily, "I followed the overlord, marched for half a lifetime, and had countless big and big battles, and I have never been so insulted. Today, I have reached this point. How can I fight with you?" As he said that, the horse turned around and fought against Luan Bu. Xiang Zhuang had no weapons, only a sword with him. How could it be compared with Luan Bu's spear? Although he had good martial arts skills, he was greatly reduced under various unfavorable circumstances. Luan Bu lifted the sword away in a few seconds. Luan Bu frowned and seized the opportunity. He stabbed Xiang Zhuang's wrist with one shot. The spear head was pulled out. Xiang Zhuang's hand was left with a round one.

The blood hole made him scream and covered his wound and ran away. Luan Bu knew who Xiangzhuang was. There was no need to persuade him to surrender. The war horse turned into a black wind and suddenly went up. It shot in the back of his heart. The gun was extremely powerful and pierced the heart protection mirror on Xiangzhuang's armor. A blood-red spear head emerged from his chest with a rustling blood. Xiangzhuang's war horse ran out alone and left the body behind him. Xiangzhuang turned around and wanted to see how this brave general who sent him on the road looked, but when his neck was halfway through, his eyes would not move, and he had no breath, and he died of a life.

The black war horse hovered, Luan Bu pulled out his sword from his waist, bent over and slashed it, took the head, hung it on the saddle bridge, and turned back. Li Bi directed the Qin soldiers to kill the remaining Chu soldiers behind him. The battle was over. A small number of Chu soldiers knelt down and begged for mercy, and most of them were unyielding in the death battle, and all of them were killed.

The flood in Pengcheng washed away for seven days and seven nights, and the remnants of Chu State also struggled for seven days and seven nights. Wang Ben and Guan Ying both experienced the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chu people. Most of the Chu soldiers who fell into the water insisted on fighting to swallow their last breath. When they were dying, they would often bring a Qi army to take over. Only 15,000 Chu soldiers guarding the city had less than 15,000 surrenders, and the rest were all killed in battle.

Seven days later, Wang Ben cleaned the battlefield and ordered people to block the river channel, guide drinking water to flow to the moat, and return to Sishui. After three days, the water depth was about to be below the knee, and the army could enter the city. The city was full of rubble, dead bodies, and rotten bones with maggots everywhere. It was terrible and miserable. The Qi army ignored these things. They were so happy that they celebrated and clapped their hands to say goodbye. Wang Ben urgently arranged the city defense, completely controlled Pengcheng, and then ordered people to Zhang in the city.

The surviving Chu people were asked to go home, and sent people to post everywhere outside the city, explaining that the "Four Basic Principles" of the King of Qin did not harm the people. The people of Pengcheng began to return home with their children and cry, clean up the broken walls, and start a new life. The original international metropolis began to recover their vitality day by day, forming the prosperous scene before. As expected, the Qi army did not dare to kill anyone under the strict order of the King of Qin. The people applauded their military discipline and were very grateful.

Sishui County fell, Pengcheng fell, Kuxian County, Xiaoxian Qiao County fell, Shouchun fell, Shucheng fell, Lu'an fell, Xiangzhuang was killed, and Baixi was captured alive.

When Xiang Yu received this news, he was discussing how to send people to Kuaiji, Shucheng to gather people. At this moment, someone ran in to report; "King, big things are not good--"

Xiang Yu was shocked after hearing this. He cursed for a long time. "Zhou Lan, Gongshou, Zhou Yin, Ba Yuzan, Yingbu and other ruthless things, Chu Ting, I want to tear you into pieces and cook them into broth!" Xiang Yu rubbed his hands and stamped his feet, lamented the death of Xiang Zhuang, and hurriedly led his troops to fight against the Qi army.

After hearing this, Huan Chu and the soldiers here blew up like five thunders. The nine heavens collapsed, and their hearts were as painful as a whip. No one said a word. The air in the tent froze into a cold solid. Silence is a timid terror. This terror is enough to force the soul to leave the body. Xiang Yu's roar is like a huge thunder in the silent horror, which wakes up several generals, and then there are tears, crying, roaring, and shouting. Every Chu land and every city of Chu State are filled with eight thousand soldiers, and the blood of Chu soldiers! It is the root of their lives! They gritted their teeth and wanted to go with Wang Ben and Guan Ying to fight to the death to retake Pengcheng.

Seeing this scene, Zhonglimei knelt on the ground with a "thump" sound, and burst into tears: "King, brothers, you must not do this!" Xiang Yu was turning around, and he stopped and glared at him. Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Yu Ziqi and others were also confused by Zhonglimei's behavior. "Why, the enemy is facing you, are you greedy for life and fearlessness of death?" Xiang Yu asked Zhonglimei.

Zhonglimei knelt on her knees, climbed to Xiang Yu, and said, "King, for the Western Chu Kingdom, Zhonglimei can be crushed to pieces and be covered in his heart. I only asked the king to let me finish my words."

"explain!"

Zhongli was sincere and said in tears: "The king, Wang Ben, Guan Ying came from Qi, and was invincible all the way, with high morale and strong fighting spirit. We have already traveled a long journey to catch up with the King of Qin. In addition, the food and grass were not enough, Pengcheng was captured, and the whole army was heartbroken and tired. We were angrily facing the tired army, which must be because we had enough heart but lacked strength. I am really worried about the danger. What's more, King, our Pengcheng has been occupied by the Qi army, and what we have now is

If the king makes a desperate move and leads his troops out, the Qin army, Qi army, and Han army will definitely come one after another. If this territory is occupied by people, there are tigers, wolfs, Qin army and Qin army in front and the elite Qi army, and we are in the wilderness, with enemies on all sides, and there is no way to attack. If we want to defend, build camps in flat land and fortifications, it will be difficult. At that time, it will be too dangerous. I would like to ask the king to surrender the country in the west, put the overall situation first, and think twice before we act."

At this time, another spy came to report; "Report to the king, our army's food and grass were obtained by Peng Yue again. Peng Yue dispatched surrendered general Ba Yuzan to capture Dingtao. Our army's food and food route was completely blocked, and the retreat was still cut off."

Xiang Yu stood in the commander's tent, pressing his sword in his hand, looking into the distance, feeling uncomfortable. All the generals in the commander's tent were bleeding in their hearts.

"Zhonglimei, then what do you think we should do?"

Zhongli said in confusion; "King, in the current situation, we have to retreat to Chencheng first, which is the capital of Chen County, located on the east bank of the Gangkok, with thousands of miles of fertile land, which can still last for a period of time."

Xiang Yu was very panicked when he learned that the food and grass were robbed. In order to prevent it, there was no other way, so he had to temporarily follow Zhonglimei's plan and retreat to Chen County.

Chencheng was originally a very rich city in the Qin Dynasty. Years of wars made the city, farmers and land pale and thin. After Xiang Yu entered the city, he prepared as much food and grass as possible, while sending people to the rear to see what was going on. The report from the visitors was exactly the same as the last report. Huainan, Pengcheng, and Sishui had fallen, and the Western Chu army had reached an isolated and helpless point. The army of Qi was launching a fierce attack on Dang County and Su County. Due to the cut off traffic, the food and grass could not be supplied, and Xiang Yu could not rescue it at all.

Huan Chu, Zhonglimei, Ji Bu, and several generals of Yu Ziqi suddenly broke into the house. Huan Chu said panic, "Over King, it's not good. The Qin army saw us retreating and had already left Xingyang and Chenggao, crossing Honggu and entering the 'Yangxia City' to approach Chencheng." Xiang Yu had already wanted a plan in his heart and nodded, "We try to seize Guling and Lingbi, and temporarily serve as a place to live." Ji Bu sighed, "King, Lingbi has Dong Yi's 100,000 Korean troops stationed in Lingbi, and our army has been defeated. If we want to raise troops to compete, we may not have enough food and grass."

Xiang Yu frowned, looked back at the military map, rushed over, pointed at Chen Cheng and shouted, "Are we really no way out? The enemy troops are all in the four directions of the southeast, west and north. What do you think should we do?"

Just when the generals were helpless, the defeats came one after another; "King, Ying Bu has captured Chengfu, and the entire Huainan has fallen. Ying Bu sent troops to block the estuary of the Yangtze River, and we lost contact with Jiangdong."

"The King Qi County is in emergency." "The King Chu County was captured! General Xiang Xiang fled to Dang County and sent an emergency letter to ask the King to send troops to rescue him. He was in a hurry."

After Xiang Yu sat on the desk, his face turned pale and his muscles were shaking: "Are all the twenty cities in Huainan occupied by Ying Bu?"

The spy said tremblingly: "Report to the king, Ying Bu has captured Jiujiang, Huainan, and has moved his troops northward to prepare to join forces with Guanying Wang Ben to attack Dang County. The total force exceeds 200,000."

Zhongli said in horror, "Wang Ben's army has 400,000, plus 200,000 Huainan army, how can the small Dang County bear the siege of 600,000 troops? Please send a letter to Zuo Yin Xiang Bo, and ask him to send troops to rescue him from Qi County, otherwise everything will be over." Xiang Yu suddenly woke up; "By the way, why did the uncle watch Pengcheng fall but not send troops? Could it be that he has encountered an unexpected situation?"

Everyone is looking at me, but no one knows what happened to Mr. Xiang. It’s time now, and there is no news coming. No one knows whether it’s dead or alive. There is no movement at all.

Xiang Yu shook his head, "There is no time left, I decided to attack Guling, open the passage, and go back to Western Chu." Before Zhonglimei had time to speak, someone outside the door reported; "Report to the King, the Qin army arrived in Yangxia, and the King of Qin sent generals Chen Xi, Canghai Jun, and Fan Kuai to fight. Should I go out of the city to meet the enemy?"

Xiang Yu was so angry that his hair and hair were all open, and he screamed strangely. "The King of Qin is too thieves, and it is obviously taking advantage of others' danger." Huan Chu said. "In this situation, there is no way to attack Guling, otherwise we will be attacked by both sides. We will become more passive. Let's break the King of Qin's troops first. King, don't mess up the position. Wang Ben Guanying, Dong Yi and Huan Qi are just scabies. As long as we defeat the King of Qin in Chencheng, everything will become a bubble. The King will lead the troops and attack Guanzhong. The Qin army behind him will automatically collapse and we don't need to use one soldier or another."

This theory is exactly what Xiang Yu has always followed, and Huan Chu's words came to his heart: "Zhonglimei, Yu Ziqi, you two go to meet the Qin soldiers. I will listen to your good news!"

Zhonglimei and Yu Ziqi could not hold it in. After hearing Xiang Yu's order, he turned around and went out with his teeth and ordered his troops to fight. (To be continued)
