Chapter 46: The End of the Road

Halfway through the journey, Xiang Yu saw the road was rugged, hilly, and continuous mountaintops, and felt that the situation was not good. At this time, Li Yu came to report to Xiang Yu, "King, I just received a secret letter from Mr. Li Zuoche, saying that the King of Qin was going to lead a team of men back to Chenggao tomorrow night. At the same time, Wang Ben was also preparing to send some people to Xingyang, Qi, and Wei. Only 100,000 people were left at Gaixia. If the king could feel Gaixia tomorrow night, Mr. Li would lead his subordinates to rebel tomorrow night, responding to you, attacking inside and outside, and destroying the arrogant Guan Ying in one fell swoop."

Xiang Yu carefully looked at the wrinkled silk silk, and was sure that it was written by Li Zuoche himself, and ordered the army to speed up the march and must feel Gaixia in the evening the next day.

The cold sun sets westward, and the cold air is far away. Xiang Yu came to Gaixia, sets up a camp, and immediately sends people to inquire about the news about the King of Qin.

After the second update, the cold moon rose into the sky and the green light shone.

Xiang Yu was about to launch an attack, and at this time, the spy came to report that the king and the Qin army were stationed in the east of Jiulishan. The various military camps were connected side by side, connected by side, with more soldiers and enough food, and the momentum was huge. It seemed that the Qin King and Wang Ben Guanying had no intention of retreating.

Xiang Yu's eyes widened and suddenly realized: "No, we're trapped! This is the encirclement of the Qin army." Xiang Yu hurriedly sent someone to find Li Yu.

"Li Yu ran away!" Xiang Yu was shocked when he heard the reward, looked panicked and regretted.

Although Wang Zhu had an army of 1.4 million in his hands, he did not lose sight of it. Xiang Yu was the number one hero in the world. He was brave and strong, powerful, and unparalleled in the world. He was not easy to deal with. He must follow Han Xin's strategy and kill him step by step.

Li Zuoche said in Wang Zhu's tent, "The king, Xiang Yu is brave, but only the courage of every man. In the Western Chu army, there are only a few pitiful generals except Xiang Yu, and there are no one like Xiang Yu, but hundreds of war generals are brave and work together. Even the gods of Xiang Yu will be dragged down. Why don't we defeat the few, first besiege and then attack in turn, and wait until Xiang Yu is hoarse and exhausted, and the entire army will be dispatched to annihilate it in one fell swoop."

Wang Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Hmph, not bad. A tiger can run rampant when entering the flock, but a tiger will be injured and bleeding when entering the wolves. If a tiger enters tens of millions of fierce wolves, it will have to die."

Wang Ben's opinion was to siege Chencheng, but there was a gulf in the south and a low-concave swamp in the north. The place was narrow and the vision was blocked. Not to mention the 1.4 million Qin soldiers besieged the city, even 140,000 people could not accommodate it. If there was no room for maneuver, how could it be adaptable to Xiang Yu? In addition, the Battle of Gaixia was a famous battle in history that won the few in the history, and Wang Zhu was very familiar with it, so he opposed the opposition and led Xiang Yu to Gaixia to fight to the death."

Gaixia is located on the north bank of the river southeast of Lingbi. It is a land where mountains and rivers are combined on the Huaibei Plain. Looking to the north, mountains are connected to mountains, ridges and ridges are continuous; looking to the south, rivers are connected to rivers, rivers are connected to rivers, and rivers are connected to each other. Here is a vast place with a broad horizon. A radius of wind and grass can be seen in a circle of hundreds of miles. A plain place is good for battle, and the storm of mountains and forests is good for attack. Wang Zhu likes it very much after seeing it, and can't help but exclaim from his heart; "Han Xin is really a military strategist, and this place is definitely a rare place for war!"

According to Han Xin's layout, Wang Zhu divided more than 10,000 troops into four groups and ten brigades and seventy-two chain camps into ambush camps in sections. The first army was the central army and the main force, and he led himself. The second army was the left army led by Ying Bu; the third army was the right army led by Wang Ao and Guan Ying; the fourth army led by Zhou Bo and Luan Bu to support him, guarding the Qin King. The four army was like an open pocket waiting for Xiang Yu.

When Xiang Yu's soldiers arrived at Gaixia, they happened to enter Wang Zhu's encirclement. Xiang Yu was so angry that he almost fainted. He wanted to find Li Yu to cut him into pieces. Li Yu was originally a gap between Wang Zhu's sending to lure the enemy, so he had already taken the opportunity to escape. Yu Ziqi lay on the ground and apologized: "Overb, you have been tricked by a traitor. This is all my fault. Please punish me."

Xiang Yu was angry and thought that it was not your recommendation, how could I be fooled? Xiang Yu thought about it more and more, and shouted loudly: "Come on, pull Yu Ziqi down and beat him again-" Before he finished speaking, someone outside the door reported; "King, Chen Cheng is lost, and the soldiers guarding the city were killed by Peng Yue."

Wang Zhu had designed Peng Yue's attack on Chencheng long ago. When Xiang Yu sent troops from Chencheng, he deliberately left the general Huan Chu to stay, but he didn't have many troops, so he could only give Huan Chu 20,000 troops. If things were to develop completely according to what Li Yu said, these 20,000 troops would be enough to deal with everything. But Li Yu was just a liar, and there was no truth in his mouth. Peng Yue had already led elite soldiers and strong generals to catch up from behind him.

Not long after Xiang Yu left, Huan Chu saw fireworks everywhere on the official road in the distance, horses' hooves, armors rippled, lightning floated, and the sound of chariot wheels crushing the ground shocked the little Chen Cheng almost turned to the sky. Huan Chu was shocked, and his first feeling was that the overlord had fallen into the trap. This was a trap, but at this time, it was impossible to remind Xiang Yu again. If he could protect Chen Cheng, it was God's blessing.

Peng Yue's big bandit army arrived in an instant. Huan Chu looked down at the city and was frightened to death. He saw that there were crowds of people, surrounded by cars and horses, with 70,000 or 80,000 people. Outside the moat, under the chaotic black flags, there were three generals shouting loudly. All three of them were golden helmets and golden armor, arrogant and arrogant. The man in the middle was even more angular and extremely cold, and Huan Chu did not recognize it.

Huan Chu shouted loudly at the top of the city, "Who are you? You dare to invade the territory of the overlord." The man in the middle sneered, "What a bullshit overlord, now I'm afraid it's a dead body. Tell you, I'm the King of Liang Peng Yue, who came to take your Chen City under the order of the King of Qin. Huan Chu, you know what you know, open the city and surrender quickly, otherwise my 80,000 army will be attacked."

When Huan Chu heard that it was Peng Yue, he couldn't help feeling angry. He thought that if you weren't the bastard, you always had trouble with the overlord over the years, why would we have had such a dilemma? He scolded sternly; "It turned out to be a robber who robbed the family. Bah, you are worthy of attacking the city. Today, you are told that you have no return, and you are a dog." Peng Yue was most afraid of others revealing his truth, especially in front of his subordinates. Hu Ju and Wang Tiankai, and they scolded him with their fingers. "I'm so brave, are you looking for death?" Huan Chu whistled: "If you have the ability, come up."

Peng Yue shouted to beat the drum, and the soldiers outside the city were immediately divided into three armies, including the left, center and right armies. Peng Yue was in the middle, Hu Zhi was in the right hand, and Wang Tian was in the left hand. Hu Zhi waved the spear in his hand, pulled the reins of the war horse, glared at the top of the city, and asked Peng Yue for battle. "King, the last general is willing to kill the thief's dog head under his command."

Peng Yue thought to himself that Huan Chu was also a veteran who could fight and was not easy to deal with, but he was now a little soldier, and my troops had the advantage, so there was no need to fight fairly with him, and he sneered, "You and Wang Tian attacked the left and right city walls, and I personally attacked the city gate. It seems that Xiang Manzi was not ready to defend the city. There was not even a trench outside the city. We can drive straight in, prepare for rushing to the city car, infantry forward, cloud ladders attack the city, and cavalry retreated!"

Peng Yueling came out like a mountain, and the formation behind him suddenly changed. After a few crisp sounds, the cavalry phalanx was lined up, and the rear was lined up, retreating along the two wings of the infantry, completing a perfect arc cross behind the infantry, and re-forming ten vertical and horizontal columns. The infantry held up their shields, and the two of them rode a ladder, roaring forward, and they were powerful. The chariot soldiers lined up fifty feet away from the infantry formation and the cavalry formation, like a gray forest with roots that had never moved.

When Huan Chu saw it, his heart suddenly sank into the bottom of the lake, and it was over today. He originally thought that although Peng Yue was a large crowd, he was just a group of fishermen, beggars, and mobs, and could not force him to fight the 20,000 elite infantrymen. But he knew that Peng Yue's subordinates were so strong that he knew in an instant that he could not escape the bad luck today.

Eight chasing city crash cars wrapped in iron have emerged from the infantry formation. Each chariot is protected by hundreds of shield-holding soldiers. Eight people push the cart forward. Overall, it looks like a turtle with a hard shell moving. Peng Yue frowned coldly and said sternly, "Soldiers, kill!" Eighty thousand soldiers shouted, and all rushed towards the top of the city. The thunderous sound of mountains and thunders almost shook the entire road.

Xiang Yu was absolutely conceited. He had no intention of defending the city at all, so there were basically no things like deer antlers and horse trenches outside the city. Xiang Yu felt that only a turtle could suck his head and do those tricks. The dignified Chu King disdained it at all. There was only one moat facing dryness in the entire city, which was considered a barrier. Peng Yue's men and horses galloped in the open space outside the city, galloping wildly, driving straight into the city, and pouring into the city like a torrent.

The 20,000 Chu troops lined up at the city wall were so nervous that Huan Chu drew his sword and shouted, "Shoot, shoot arrows, hurry up, shoot arrows." Shoot, a heavy rain poured down, Hu Ju and Wang Tian's teams attacking the city were suddenly frustrated, and many soldiers began to retreat. Hu Ju thought that it was a great opportunity to make meritorious service and receive awards, so how could he miss it? He personally went forward, swung his spear and picked up arrows, and organized a charge. The soldiers, led by the general, suddenly bravely advanced in the rain. When they reached the moat, they pulled the bowstrings and shot arrows at the city wall, forming a situation of shooting.

Hu Ju's war horse hangs in the air on the bank of the moat, roaring towards the sky, galloping horizontally, covering the infantry behind him to set up a ladder on the riverbed and charge forward.

Huan Chu was helpless. Although the Chu army tried hard to shoot arrows, it was impossible to organize the charge of the Daze Army. The reason was very simple, because there were no equipment to guard the city except bows and arrows on the top of the city and rolling wood and rocks. Just relying on arrows alone was not enough to stop the army from crossing the river.

Peng Yue personally followed Chongcheng's car and rushed towards the city gate. The infantry had already crossed the river first and cut off the iron chains on the suspension bridge at the cost of hundreds of lives. Chongcheng's car then crossed the river and rushed towards the city gate: "Boom! Boom!" The loud noises shook the city gate and also shocked the soldiers' hearts, and even the city walls trembled trembling.

The ladders were already on the top of the city without much effort. The Daze bandit army rushed down the tall and thin ladders like countless fearless black ants to the storm of the city. Huan Chu's voice was hoarse, but he had no choice but to shoot arrows. The Daze bandit army used a knife, a gun, a spear, and a life to block the arrows, and peeled off the arrows, which were only one step away from the top of the city. Huan Chu on the top of the city first picked up the iron halberd and stabbed it down, and other soldiers also followed suit.

, discarded the bow and arrow, picked up the spear, and began to fight condescendingly. In a moment, there were hundreds of Daze bandit troops falling from the ladder. However, the number of Daze troops was too large. The Chu army was under too much psychological pressure and was too tired. The arm was a little soft when stabbed, and the spear became powerless. As one went up and down, several figures had already crossed the city head like lightning and jumped onto the horse road. A Chu army was thrown from behind by a knife through the city head. The beach head position was opened-

Huan Chu shouted like a desperate cry, "Brothers, hold on, you must wait until the overlord comes back." The Chu soldiers bravely rushed towards the gap, but at the moment of shouting, more than 20 Daze soldiers had jumped up from the gap. They shouted at the top of their lungs, pounced on them with red eyes, blocking the Chu soldiers rushing from both sides. The Daze soldiers behind them stepped onto the city wall one after another, and the height of the ladder was rising up, and there were more and more dead bodies on the horse road.

"Peng!" With a loud bang, the city gate was knocked open by a car commanded by Peng Yue. Peng Yue jumped into the city first, killing people when he saw them, and chopping them when he saw them. Seeing the king in front, the Daze army also strangled desperately. The Chu army guarding the city gate was suddenly dispersed, just like loose soil could not withstand the erosion of the torrent, lying on the ground one after another. Peng Yue swung his big gun and jumped straight to the top of the city, laughing, "Huan Chu, come down and fight to the death with me.

!” The military discipline of the Daze Army has always been very poor. Peng Yue trained a group of robbers who robbed families and houses. Their ordinary people were also robbed food and grass and robbed the people of Chu. Wang Zhu's ban was completely invalid here. As soon as the Daze Army entered the city, under the command of some commanders and captains, they killed the Chu army who was invincible while rushing into the city and began to burn, kill, loot and ruin women. The flames suddenly soared into the sky, smoke and dust filled the sky, and the doomsday depression.

The horse's neighing, howling, Peng Yue's shouts, and the painful cry of Chu soldiers and generals Chu came into Huan Chu's mind. The veteran was in extreme pain and stomped his feet repeatedly, "Why is this, why is this? Chu State is over, Chu State is over!" He could not rush down to the city to fight to the death with Peng Yue, thinking that at this time the city had formed a tragic situation of strangling between the two sides. The Daze army rushed to the city and said at least five thousand, and it was still increasing. The ladder was full of people-

Huan Chu was already wrapped in bloody storms, his heart was filled with desolation and despair. "Old king, overlord, old minister, I'm sorry for you, old minister, let's go first!"

Huan Chu did not have the courage to face the failure of Chu State, and he was even more reluctant to see countless Chu people being slaughtered by the Daze Army. After killing more than a dozen Qin soldiers to vent their anger, he angrily pulled out his sword and committed suicide across his neck. He was full of passion and sprayed on the cold and frozen city. A layer of thin ice melted and white smoke emerged.

The Daze Army occupied Chencheng with the flow and began to vent his anger in the city day and night. The entire Chencheng, both the officers and soldiers of the Chu State, were killed. This was a massacre, a real massacre! Peng Yue laughed happily in his blood. Only such revenge can make him feel that Xiang Yu was punished as he deserved. This is the end of your ignoring me, the ridiculous King of Western Chu.

After hearing the spy's report, Xiang Yu beat his chest and stamped his feet, and almost died of regret. When he heard that Huan Chu committed suicide, he sighed, "This is all caused by Li Yu. This villain, and the King of Qin, he can only use conspiracies and tricks. Brother Huan Chu, I, I'm sorry for you, brother." Although Xiang Yu later became king, in fact, when he was a child, he grew up under the care and teaching of Huan Chu and others, he had a deep relationship with Tu Gangqiu and other veterans. Unexpectedly, they died one after another, making his heart stolen.

The 200,000 Chu troops were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside at Gaixia. Xiang Yu had no choice but to set up camp on the spot without taking the lead in order to prevent the Qin army from attacking.

Wang Zhu began his consumption strategy. He did not attack, but just let the Chu army slowly suck their fighting spirit in a siege, cold and hungry environment, waiting for death, and torture by fear. In the blink of an eye, more than a month was coming, and the weather became even colder. Every day, the north wind was howling, ice and snow swept, and the cold wind was like a knife.

Xiang Yu has not received a good news these days, and urgent reports have been reported in the Western Chu camp: "King, the three armies have no food!" "King, the war horses have no grass!" "King, more than a dozen soldiers have frozen to death!" "King, another soldiers have fled" - there are countless such things. Xiang Yu felt as uncomfortable as a knife cut.

He is often awakened by nightmare, often furious, often lamenting ashamed and regretful, and often thinking in his heart that Yu Ji's warm and affectionate person was in a daze and crying in the big tent-

Xiang Yu can no longer be tortured! That is not his personality. He can't stand this torture that is more uncomfortable than death.

Zhonglimei and other generals came to the tent early in the morning. Everyone was breathing white breath and spitting white smoke, asking for a fight. Zhonglimei said, "King, we are waiting for death here! The eight thousand soldiers were loyal to the overlord and charged in battle. The Qin soldiers were terrified when they saw it. The king might as well lead them to rush out. If a bloody road could be opened, we all led the troops of the headquarters to escape with the king. We went to Kuaiji to reorganize and clean up the mountains and rivers, and there might be a glimmer of hope."
