After having enough wine and food, Li Shui and Li Xin gave orders and told the soldiers to take the time to rest for two hours. Two hours later, they immediately set off to attack Yuewang Mountain.
These soldiers had been running around for nearly ten days and were already exhausted. After receiving the order, they fell into a deep sleep almost within a few breaths.
However, a small group did not sleep.
There are only ten people in this small team, and they are the strongest soldiers selected by Li Xin from the entire army. They are in excellent physical condition and are still in high spirits after running around for more than ten days.
Li Xin told these ten people to act as sentinels and take the first step to find out the news about Yuewang Mountain.
These ten men took thirty horses with them. They changed horses without changing people along the way, and ran towards Yuewang Mountain day and night.
Li Xin looked at the backs of these people and sighed: "I hope King Kuaiji is safe and sound. Otherwise, even if Chu is pacified, it will not be considered a meritorious service."
Li Shui stood next to Li Xin, too sleepy to open his eyes.
Two hours later, Li Shui was woken up. He squinted his eyes, washed up, and then had a hearty meal with the entire army.
When setting off, the sentry sent out last night came back.
The sentry made a hasty salute and said, "King Kuaiji is safe and sound."
Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly discovered that there were ten people when the sentry went there, but when he came back, there were only three left.
Li Xin was a little surprised: "We encountered rebels? Why did we kill seven people?"
The sentry said: "We were careful along the way and did not confront the rebels head-on. The other seven people fell behind because their horses could not hold up."
Li Xin felt relieved after hearing this.
The sentry was panting and looked exhausted: "The villain has found out clearly. At the beginning of Xiang Liang's rebellion, there were more than 10,000 rebels gathered. Five thousand of them attacked nearby counties, and he personally led five Thousands of people besieged Yuewang Mountain."
"The rebels who besieged Yuewang Mountain have lost 2,000 people in the past few days. However, Xiang Liang tied up nearby men and barely managed to collect 6,000 people. Yuewang Mountain has never been conquered, and King Kuaiji should be safe and sound."
Li Xin was overjoyed and immediately arranged for someone to help a few sentries to rest on the oxcart behind, telling them not to be in a hurry and just follow them slowly. Li Xin and Li Shui, with three thousand cavalry, rushed towards Yuewang Mountain like the wind.
On the way, Li Xin and others met the stragglers again, and the news they reported was roughly the same as before. Li Xin asked them to sit on the roadside and wait, so there was no need to run around anymore.
Three thousand men and horses ran wildly for three hours, and finally arrived at Yuewang Mountain in the afternoon.
Li Shui said to Li Xin: "Brother Li, the soldiers are already tired. It's better to let them rest for a while."
Li Xin smiled and shook his head: "No. One rush of strength will weaken again, and three thousand people will be exhausted. These three thousand people are running all the way, and the spears in their hands are impatient. They want to drink the blood of the rebels' necks. How can they? Can you make them stop?"
As he spoke, Li Shui could faintly hear the shouts of killing in front of him.
Li Shuiqian smiled and said: "Brother Li, I am a little anxious, so I need to go for some convenience."
Li Xin looked at Li Shui with a faint smile: "Brother Huai, are you afraid?"
Li Shui blushed and argued loudly: "How can I be afraid? I am in the fairy world, what have I not seen before?"
Li Xin nodded and said: "That's true. Everyone in Xianyang City knows that banishing immortals has the courage of thousands of people. In the battle of ten thousand armies, going to the general's head is like searching for something. Just in time, today I want to Let’s see the elegance of banishing an immortal.”
Seeing Li Xin's teasing look, Li Shui felt that he had to prove himself. So he gritted his teeth and said to the craftsman beside him: "Come here, follow me to kill the enemy in a while."
One hundred craftsmen suddenly agreed and surrounded Li Shui in the middle.
Li Xin was a little helpless: "Are you going to kill the enemy?"
However, he had no time to tease Li Shui now. Li Xin pulled out the long sword from his waist and waved it in the air. The three thousand people behind him suddenly changed their formation.
Three thousand cavalrymen rolled up clouds of smoke and dust, like a flood, and rushed towards Xiang Liang's army.
In the process, Li Shui and his one hundred craftsmen gradually fell behind and then slipped away...
…………
Xiang Liang's men and horses were divided into two parts. The main camp was stationed at the foot of the mountain, and the remaining strong ones attacked Gongzi Gao on the platform on the mountainside.
Xiang Liang stood on the mountainside and suddenly saw a burst of smoke and dust rising from the north. He suddenly panicked: Could he be from Qin?
Xiang Liang knew very well that he had no reinforcements in that direction. What's more, if reinforcements really arrive, they must at least send a sentry to deliver a message to themselves.
Thinking of this, Xiang Liang hurriedly said to his confidants: "Quick, come down the mountain and pass on my order. The officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain are ready to prepare to meet the enemy."
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Just after Xiang Liang finished his instructions, the cloud of smoke and dust had already rushed to Xiang Liang's base camp.
Countless powerful horses ran out of the smoke and dust. They didn't slow down at all and marched directly past the camp.
Xiang Liang's camp was overthrown, and among the frightened soldiers, some had their heads cut off by the Qin soldiers' swords, and some were trampled to death by horse hooves. The remaining people were simply unable to organize an effective attack.
Xiang Liang's relatives shouted hoarse at the foot of the mountain, demanding that all the rebels form an army immediately. But those rebels were crying for their fathers and mothers and couldn't restrain themselves at all.
A large part of Xiang Liang's soldiers and horses were young and strong men who had been kidnapped. These people are the least courageous. When they see a dead person around them, their first reaction is to run away. As soon as these people ran away, Xiang Liang's camp collapsed completely.
The Xiang family's children could only use their swords as threats, and killed more than thirty people in a row, finally stopping the soldiers from fleeing. A military formation was reluctantly formed.
But at this time, Li Xin led the cavalry, went in a circle, and rushed back.
The descendants of the Xiang family shouted loudly: "Set the arrows, shoot the arrows."
Unfortunately, the distance was too close, and Li Xin's horse was too fast. He only fired one round of the sword before the horse's hooves were already in front of him.
The rebels threw away their bows and arrows and reached for the spears beside them. Unfortunately, before they could lift the sharp weapons, Li Xin's horse's hoofs had already stepped on their hearts.
After only two kills, the rebels couldn't hold on any longer. Even the Xiang family's children began to abandon their armor and flee in all directions.
When Xiang Liang came from the bottom of the mountain to support him, he only saw stumps and broken arms all over the place. Li Xin, who was not far away, looked at him eagerly and rushed forward with his men. Those Qin soldiers were like tigers and wolves, charging and shouting loudly: "Capture Xiang Liang alive and reward him with ten thousand gold."
This kind of momentum is frightening.
The confidant beside Xiang Liang said anxiously: "General, go quickly, retreat to Kuaiji City, there is still a glimmer of hope."
Xiang Liang gritted his teeth and shouted: "Let's go!"
Then, he led the remaining 500 men and horses and ran towards Kuaiji City.
Li Xin and his men followed closely behind. Kill a few stragglers from time to time.
Li Xin was a little happy and couldn't help but said loudly: "Brother Huai, how can such rebels be attacked and killed with a hundred thousand horses? Wang Jian thinks highly of them too. Hmm? Where is Brother Huai?"
The deputy general next to him said: "Before the war started, I don't know where the immortal went."
Li Xin chuckled.
Gradually, Xiang Liang got rid of Li Xin.
Although Li Xin's troops and horses were high in fighting spirit, they had already been running wildly for ten days. Even if the man could hold on, the horse would be very tired.
Xiang Liang saw that the distance between him and Li Xin was getting bigger and bigger, and Kuaiji City was right in front of him. A glimmer of hope ignited in his heart: "My five hundred men and horses are all elite soldiers. After returning to Kuaiji City, close the city gate tightly. , forcing the people in the city to carry earth and rocks to help me defend the city. As long as we persist until the reinforcements arrive, we will definitely be able to wipe out Li Xin's mere thousands of troops."
"As long as Li Xin dies, the King of Kuaiji will be frightened. By then, if Yuewang Mountain is captured, the entire Chu land will be like a treasure hunt."
Xiang Liang was thinking happily when suddenly there was an exclamation from beside him, and then, a sound broke through the air. On both sides of the road ahead, more than a hundred figures appeared, each holding a powerful crossbow. For a moment, the crossbow arrows plunged into Xiang Liang's team like locusts.
While running wildly, Xiang Liang's men had no way to escape. They were hit by arrows one after another and fell off their horses.
And those powerful crossbows can actually fire continuously. One crossbow can fire ten arrows, and even if 70% of them miss, it still has a huge killing effect.
Xiang Liang did not dare to stay, so he led his men to rush through despite the rain of arrows. In total, they left more than three hundred bodies on the roads. Most of the remaining two hundred people were injured.
More importantly, they were blocked by crossbows for a while and were overtaken by Li Xin's army behind them.
The three thousand men and horses began to harvest lives happily again.
At this time, the craftsmen who were ambushing on both sides of the road jumped out. Li Shui was riding on the horse and looked at Li Xin with a smile: "Brother Li, I am good at using my brain, not my strength. It's funny."
Li Xin laughed and said to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, I will take full responsibility for capturing and killing Xiang Liang."
Li Shui made a gesture of invitation. Then Li Xin happily chased Xiang Liang.
The craftsmen around Li Shui were a little anxious and asked Li Shui: "Sir, do we not want the great contribution of wiping out the rebels?"
Li Shui scolded: "Idiot, what is a rebel worth? The king of Kuaiji is the most important."
The craftsmen suddenly realized.
Afterwards, a group of people mounted their horses and headed towards Yuewang Mountain.
King Kuaiji on Yuewang Mountain was still at a loss. Today, the fierce battle was in full swing. Suddenly a group of reinforcements came, like gods descending from the earth. In an instant, they killed Xiang Liang and left his armor behind.
Until Xiang Liang fled in panic and Li Xin went to pursue him, Prince Gao still didn't know who the reinforcements were.
The general next to him hesitated and said: "The last general vaguely saw the banner of the reinforcements. It seems to be General Li Xin."
The young master let out a cry.
Shen Lun said next to him: "Li Xin has always been brave and good at fighting. It took him several months to quell the Xiongnu's serious troubles for hundreds of years. If the reinforcements are really him, then we are saved today."
The general frowned again and said: "However, it has only been more than twenty days since we were surrounded. General Li Xin, how could you come so fast? Even if you can ride a fast horse and gallop all the way here. But the food and grass Don’t you have any luggage with you?”
Young Master Gao said calmly: "Perhaps the banished immortal used some magical magic to help him get here."
The general laughed dryly and thought to himself: Has the young master gone crazy? Why do you have to think about banished immortals in everything?
Shen Lun said to Gongzi Gao: "In my opinion, everything is not clear at the moment. Is this Liang's defeat true or false? Is it just a show to lure us down the mountain? Therefore, our army absolutely cannot Take it lightly.”
Young Master Gao Shen nodded with approval and said: "What Master said is very reasonable. Why don't we send a few sentinels first and go down to inquire carefully before talking about it."
The general grinned beside him and thought to himself: "There are obviously many broken limbs and broken arms at the foot of the mountain. It can be seen that Xiang Liang has indeed suffered numerous casualties. If this is really a show, is the cost too high?"
At this moment, the pawn who was on guard on the mountainside suddenly ran up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty. The banished immortal has arrived and is going up the mountain."
Young Master Gao was surprised and happy: "Did you see clearly?"
The pawn said: "The villain can see clearly."
Young Master Gao and Shen Lun immediately became excited and said with a smile: "No wonder General Li Xin arrived in Chu in just ten days. This must be the plan of the banished immortal. Generals, listen to the order and hurry up. Follow me down the mountain quickly to welcome the banished immortal."
The pawns were extremely excited and followed behind Young Master Gao.
In the distance, Li Shui's figure has appeared. The young master rushed up a few steps, walked to Li Shui, and saluted him: "My nephew pays homage to my uncle."
Li Shui helped Gongzi Gao up, looked at his face carefully, and thought: So this is Gongzi Gao. I had never seen it carefully in Xianyang City before. Remember this time.
As for Young Master Gao, he found that Li Shui had been staring at him, his eyes full of concern. He suddenly felt an indescribable gratitude in his heart, and said almost in tears: "If it weren't for my uncle, Gao would have turned into a He is a lonely ghost."
The generals and soldiers at the back all said gratefully: "Thank you, Banished Immortal, for saving my life."
Shen Lun even praised: "The weapons of the Exalted Immortal are like falling from the sky, which is admirable. It can be seen that the rumors in Xianyang City are true, and the Exalted Immortal is both civil and military."
Li Shui smiled modestly, and then said to the soldiers: "You are all warriors of the Qin Dynasty. You have defended the lonely peak for more than twenty days. After returning to Xianyang City, I will ask for merit for you."
These soldiers were all very happy and grateful.
Li Shui waved his hand, and the craftsman behind him picked up several large bundles and threw them on the ground casually.
Li Shui said to Prince Gao: "The soldiers have sacrificed their lives and have to be rewarded. Let the gold and silver be divided among the generals."
When the bag was opened, it was filled with broken gold and silver. If you put these fragments together, you can vaguely see that they were once gold plates and silver cups... But now, who has the mind to study this? They were all looking at the gold and silver greedily, and there was only one sentence in everyone's mind: Banishing the Immortal... What a big deal.
The craftsman behind Li Shui rolled his eyes and thought: A bunch of ignorant people, this is just one-tenth of the wealth of Song Liu's family.
After dividing the gold and silver, Gongzi Gao invited Li Shui to climb to the top of the mountain and look at the words "Exile to Immortal" on the big tree.
Li Shui was filled with emotion and admiration along the way, which made the Qin soldiers present elated.
After reaching the top of the mountain, the general asked cautiously: "Exiled Immortal, may I ask General Li Xin if he is here?"
Li Shui hummed lightly: "I ordered him to chase Xiang Liang."
Everyone suddenly realized: It turns out that this rescue is mainly about banishing immortals.
As a result, everyone's admiration for Li Shui increased.
I don’t know who said it first: "The banished immortal is really the god of war in this world."
Soon, the nickname spread, and in an instant, everyone was shouting "God of War."
Li Shui waved his hand humbly, thinking: Weird, have these people misunderstood something?
