Chapter two hundred and ninety-third tragic breakthrough
Chapter 293: Tragic Breakthrough
The tragic breakthrough battle of the Chu army gradually subsided with Huan Chu's death. Gaixia, which had been lively for a night, fell into silence before dawn. Apart from the flags of the West Chu that were stuck on the corpse, there were only old and weak Qin generals and several medical staff who were cleaning the battlefield in groups of three or three.
Just before Huan Chu died in battle, another brave general of the Chu army, Zhou Lan, was cut off his left arm by Qin general Chen Wu, and was then seriously injured and captured.
At this point, the two commanders of the personal cavalry who had always protected Xiang Yu were all lost to this battle, and the elite of the Chu army also suffered all casualties in this battle.
Guling East.
This small town in Chu is bathing in the silence of late spring and early summer. The weather in late April and early May is the time when willows sprout and grow rapidly. From a distance, clusters of willows are swaying lightly in the wind, blooming with fragrance.
However, even if there are more beautiful scenery than this, Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, had no intention of appreciating it.
"Kill!" The night just passed, Xiang Yu could not remember how many times he had called this word. He only knew that there was a burst of hot feeling coming from his throat. After a night of fighting, the Chu army that finally broke through the encirclement was more than 1,300 cavalry left. Among the generals, Xiang Zhuang was the only general who was still by his side.
Once upon a time, the generals surrounded by the purple-brown banners of Western Chu gathered together, Ying Bu, Long Ju, General Pu, Zhong Limei, Huan Chu, and Zhou Lan. Behind these loud names is a series of glory and dreams, a series of great achievements and great achievements.
But now, the overlord Xiang Yu is surrounded by stars, and there is no sign of the past.
The dead are dead, the rebellious are rebellious, and the heroes gathered together to resist the tyrannical Qin finally divided the things and things in the end as time passes.
Why is this?
Xiang Yu couldn't understand, nor could he figure it out.
"Uncle, there is Guling ahead. Wait for my nephew to grab the pass!" The war horse neighed, and Xiang Zhuang, who was covered in blood, held a blood-dropping battle knife and urged his tired mount to speak loudly. Compared to the other people who looked gray and dejected, Xiang Zhuang, a stubborn reckless man, was cute and tight at this moment. The fierce battle overnight did not dissipate his courage. Even if he was tired or powerless, he would still fight with Xiang Yu to the end.
"Can there be enemy soldiers guarding Guling?" Xiang Yu asked, clearing the heat flow that surged into his throat.
"Hey, uncle, don't worry, Guling's enemy is just a group of rats from Yingbu's dog thieves. When our army arrives, these courageless guys will escape immediately?" Xiang Zhuang replied with a smile. According to the information, Guling's troops should be Yingbu's subordinates. Thinking of the first time, these soldiers also belonged to the Chu army, but now they have stood on a hostile stand. Ying Bu——When I think of the bird breath he received during the Zhang River, Xiang Zhuang was angry.
"Wait, let's find out how many people and horses are in Guling City first, and who is stationed?" Xiang Yu thought for a while and said in a deep voice. If it were the past, whether there were any enemy soldiers in Guling would not have been placed in Xiang Yu's eyes at all. As long as he pointed the flag, his personal cavalry would swallow the enemy soldiers like wind and clouds, but now, everything is different.
Behind them, there are thousands of pursuers, and in front of them, there are cities blocking the way.
This forced Xiang Yu to be cautious.
However, his fighting spirit was still strong. He believed that as long as he could cross the Yangtze River, Ji Bu, who had sneaked to Jiangdong to recruit soldiers in the morning, would lead countless Jiangdong soldiers to replenish them. In this way, although the strength of the Qin army could not be reversed immediately, it would at least give the Chu army a chance to breathe.
The vast Yangtze River is also an insurmountable natural chasm for the Chu people, let alone the Qin people who are not good at boating.
"No!" Xiang Zhuang responded, and took the knife and left with five and six riders.
Watching Xiang Zhuang go away, Xiang Yu turned his head to look at the exhausted soldier and said, "Dropping off the horse and rest!"
Hearing this order, the Chu soldiers who had escaped from the siege rushed into the willow forest, and they lay down in the stream without caring all over. They ate up and drank a lot. After nearly a night of fighting, the people were trapped and the horses had to drink water. Not only these Chu soldiers, but even Xiang Yu's BMW horse, the black horse, stepped into the river impatiently, and lowered their heads and drank violently. The running of one night made it overdrawn too much physical strength. If they did not replenish enough water, even the BMW would be exhausted.
Tiredness makes people relax, and fatigue makes people lose their vigilance.
Suddenly, a harsh arrow sounded in the middle of the willow forest, and then the arrow flew out. The unprepared Chu soldiers were shot in the stream by arrows as soon as they stood up.
"There is an ambush!"
A panic scream sounded quickly. Xiang Yu, who was drinking water, did not care about his gains and disobeyed his composure and hurriedly led the black horse over and turned over. But when he commanded the soldiers to form a formation to meet the enemy, the Chu army had lost more than 200 brave cavalry.
"Uncle, the main force of Yingbu is stationed in Guling, let's go!" Before Xiang Yu could see who his opponent was, Xiang Zhuang, who had just left, rushed towards him as anxiously as sparks. Two arrow feathers were inserted behind him, and other cavalrymen who were inquiring were missing.
"Kill! Someone who takes Xiang Yu's head will reward ten thousand golds and be named ten thousand houses!" Before Xiang Zhuang finished speaking, there were loud shouts of shouts everywhere, and all the ambush soldiers were out. What made the Chu soldiers even more desperate was that the accents of these ambush soldiers were still Chu people.
Use the Chu people to fight the Chu people.
This may be the right to be a strong man.
This time, Ying Bu's subordinates were ambushing the Chu army. For Ying Bu, if he didn't work hard when encircling Xiang Yu, how could he show his loyalty to join Qin? Even compared with Li Shang, Li Lie and other Qin generals, Ying Bu was more anxious to capture Xiang Yu.
However, the contribution of the siege of Gaixia has been divided up by several major forces of the Qin army. Without the share of him, the newly appointed general, fortunately, Ying Bu had enough knowledge of Xiang Yu, and he was sure that no general in this world could trap the overlord Xiang Yu in an instant.
Therefore, this time, not only Ying Bu was placed in front of Xiang Yu, but also his entire force.
Xiangzhuang's cavalry had just run five miles away when he was discovered by the patrol Yingbu army. After a battle, Xiangzhuang, who was hit by two more arrows, finally escaped.
"Ying Bu, every man is hateful, hateful! Xiang Yu's anger is very angry. In order to show his new master Fu Ge, Ying Bu seems to have been prepared. The ambush in the Liulin is a killing move he used to deal with Xiang Yu. Next, after learning that Xiang Yu appeared, Ying Bu will definitely lead the army to chase him.
"Transfer the order, turn to the Wujiang River to break through!" As the shouts, Xiang Yu waved his king halberd and led a group of defeated soldiers to rush down into the thorn. The more than a thousand Chu cavalry followed him up again. Their expressions were tired, but their eyes clearly showed madness and bloodiness.
The ambushers on both sides were like locusts. From time to time, Chu cavalry was caught in arrows and fell down, but they could not stop the Chu army, which was determined to break through.
