In this battle, Xiang Liang was defeated like a mountain, blood flowed into rivers, and there were countless casualties. ∟★eight∟★eight∟★read∟★book,.2▲︾
The five thousand elite soldiers who had finally gathered together were completely scattered.
At first, Xiang Liang worked hard to command his troops and resisted vigorously. However, the bravery of a small group of cronies around him could not save the overall situation. Qin soldiers had already noticed Xiang Liang and were shouting to kill him.
In the end, Xiang Liang could only grit his teeth and flee with his cronies.
Fortunately, he had been in this area for a long time and was familiar with the route. With the galloping horse at his hip, he finally got rid of the Qin soldiers behind him.
After it was safe, Xiang Liang looked around and felt like crying. There were only five or six people left around him. After working so hard for so long, in the blink of an eye, I'm back to where I was.
Why is it so difficult?
Xiang Liang wanted to cry a little.
The cronies around him persuaded: "General, don't worry, although these five thousand people have been lost, we still have soldiers and horses elsewhere."
Xiang Liang nodded: "Yes, there are still soldiers and horses elsewhere."
Xiang Liang still had 3,000 men stationed elsewhere.
Those 3,000 people were all old, weak, sick, and disabled, and they were picked to survive. Five thousand elite soldiers can't make a difference, let alone the remaining three thousand.
However, at this point, what else can you complain about? Don't be too cold for those who are begging, just make do with it.
Xiang Liang and his cronies hid in the wilderness for a night. When they estimated that the Qin soldiers had left the next day, they dared to cautiously come out of the woods to look for the remaining three thousand troops.
When passing by yesterday's battlefield, Xiang Liang found that the people who were killed yesterday were still abandoned on the mountain road without anyone taking care of them. Its appearance is so miserable that it is impossible to look directly at it.
The cronies around Xiang Liang jumped off their horses and fell to the ground crying.
They get along with these people day and night, and some even become friends. In one day, yin and yang are separated, how can you not be sad?
These few people wanted to bury the dead rebels, but how could it be possible for five or six people to bury four to five thousand people?
Xiang Liang sighed and said, "That's it. The people nearby will take care of this matter. Let's go. To avoid being discovered by the Qin soldiers."
The cronies could only mount their horses in tears.
Xiang Liang lightly hit the horse, and the horse moved forward slowly.
After walking a few steps, Xiang Liang couldn't help but turn around and look at the corpses on the ground. This was originally his sharp sword to fight against Qin, but now the sword was interrupted before it was unsheathed.
For a moment, Xiang Liang was so sad and angry that he held a breath in his heart, unable to swallow it or spit it out. Suddenly, he yelled, his throat felt sweet, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood. Then the world started spinning and he fell off the horse.
The cronies around him were startled and ran over to help Xiang Liang.
Xiang Liang slowly opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Wang Jian, treacherous and treacherous, crossed the river and burned down the bridge. You are an honest villain. In the future, if you see the Qin people, you will kill them, and if you see the Wang family, you will kill them."
The cronies around him nodded vigorously.
Xiang Liang struggled to stand up and said through gritted teeth: "Does Wang Jian think he has established a foothold with the Qin people? So he wants to get rid of me? It's really stupid. I want him to know who is the king of Chu." the Lord."
Xiang Liang climbed up on the horse's back with difficulty and said to his cronies: "In the past, I was able to make a comeback on my own. Now there are still three thousand people, so why worry about the big thing failing? Follow me back."
The cronies responded and followed Xiang Liang away.
Xiang Liang spoke very boldly, but he was by no means relaxed in his heart. 】eight】eight】reading】books,.2√3.￠o
The last time he was able to make a comeback, it was because he gathered a lot of Xiang's bloodline. Now that all the Xiang clan in Chu are here, if they want to recruit troops, they can only use coercion. And such soldiers and horses are not stable.
What's more, it was possible last time because of Wang's secret cooperation. Now... Wang wants to really put down the rebellion. How can these thousands of rebels defeat an army of 100,000?
Xiang Liang sighed, feeling increasingly worried. But he didn't want to show his dejection in front of his cronies, lest they also have other thoughts. So I had to pretend to be optimistic.
Xiang Liang was very troubled. He looked at the great rivers and mountains of Chu land with melancholy, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's so difficult for me.
…………
In a hidden valley, three thousand troops were stationed. The quality of these 3,000 men and horses was very poor. Among them were only 60 or 16, a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, and even some women to make up the number, barely enough to make up 3,000 people.
One-third of these soldiers and horses have no weapons, and the remaining two-thirds are seriously cultivating wasteland near the military camp, instead of thinking about how to march and fight.
These people wanted to be farmers more, but they had no choice but to join the army.
It just so happened that the commander-in-chief of these three thousand people was also an old man. He was Xiang Pi.
When Xiang Liang selected 5,000 elite soldiers and went out to lead the army to fight, Xiang Pi took 3,000 men and stationed them in the valley.
He began to arrange people to cultivate wasteland and to feed cattle and sheep. In Xiang Pi's view, this was not a military camp for marching and fighting, but just a relatively large village.
It's just that there are a little more men in this village and a little more weapons. This is not bad, at least you don't have to worry about bandits coming to harass you.
Xiang Pi liked this feeling very much. He hoped to get through this chaos in a daze. When Xiang Liang really seizes the country, he will give himself an official position, and that will be it for the rest of his life.
At this time, Xiang Pi stood on a stone by the stream, looking at the gurgling water, and couldn't help but feel poetic.
Xiang Pi was about to recite a poem when suddenly a young man ran towards him. The armor on his body was obviously very large, and it looked ridiculous as it swayed back and forth when he ran.
The young man ran to Xiang Pi and shouted: "General, general."
Then, the bronze helmet on his head tilted, covering his eyes.
The young man quickly straightened his bronze helmet and said breathlessly: "General, please return to camp quickly."
Xiang Pi was a little unhappy and said: "Instead of calling me a general, it's better to call me Li Zheng. I don't want to be a general who leads troops to fight. I just want to be a civil servant who governs villages and towns."
The young man grinned.
Xiang Pi asked: "Why are you here in such a hurry?"
The young man said: "General Xiang Liang is back."
When Xiang Pi heard that Xiang Liang was back, he suddenly had a headache. What he fears most is that Xiang Liang asks him to lead troops to fight.
"Alas!" Xiang Pi sighed heavily and followed the boy back.
He didn't want to see Xiang Liang, but he didn't dare not to see Xiang Liang, so he could only return to the military camp in great pain.
After returning, Xiang Pi found that the three thousand men and horses, who were originally extremely scattered, had lined up neatly. Xiang Liang was standing at the front with a gloomy look.
Xiang Pi looked at Xiang Liang, then looked around in confusion, and found that he was the only one with three thousand troops.
He asked in surprise: "General, where are the five thousand elite soldiers you brought out?"
Xiang Liang said faintly: "Dead."
Xiang Pi was stunned. In just a few days, all five thousand elite soldiers were destroyed?
In fact, many of the five thousand people were killed by the Qin soldiers, but some of them escaped. It's just that those people didn't dare to come back and continue. They either hid incognito or turned to the thieves.
Xiang Liang ignored Xiang Pi's expression. He looked at the three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled and said with a sad face: "The Qin people are cunning and cunning. They used tricks and caused heavy losses to our Chu people."
Someone in the team started crying.
Among the five thousand elite soldiers, some were their sons and some were their fathers. How can we not be sad when we lose a loved one in one day?
Xiang Liang said loudly: "You, are you willing to follow me to kill the Qin people and avenge your relatives?"
No one present spoke.
All five thousand elite soldiers have been killed. Now if we send these three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled, isn't that asking for death? Being sad is one thing, but being sad doesn't mean you are brainless.
The common people have seen too many wars. People died on the battlefield, and they feel more sad than hatred. Because you don't know who to hate at all, and you also understand that hating is useless.
Fortunately, Xiang Liang's cronies were more sensible. When no one responded, they immediately shouted loudly: "I am willing to follow the general to kill the Qin people."
With the leader in charge, some of the three thousand people finally responded sparsely.
Xiang Liang had expected this scene a long time ago, so it was not surprising. He said calmly: "Since you are filled with righteous indignation and want to take revenge, I, the general, will take you to take revenge. The whole army will prepare immediately. In two hours, follow me to kill enemy."
The three thousand people suddenly became nervous. Some began to pack their things, while others looked at the newly cultivated farmland reluctantly.
Xiang Pi followed Xiang Liang with some depression, and kept saying: "General, we need to consider this matter in the long term. Now our army is weak, and the Qin people's morale is strong. Attacking at this time is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg."
Xiang Liang looked back at him and said calmly: "Xiang Liang sent out many teams of hundreds, or even teams of ten, to each village to check household registrations and measure land. We specialize in killing such people."
"After killing them, we went to the village to recruit troops and collect food. Gathering a small number into a large number, with three to five months of hard work, we can form an elite army."
Xiang Pi was a little confused: "It turned out to be killing...killing the Centurion."
Xiang Pi was a little confused: Does killing the Centurion count as revenge? Xiang Liang's 5,000 men were obviously not killed by these centurions.
However, Xiang Pi was not stupid and did not ask these questions. If asked, and Xiang Liang asked him to lead his men in a decisive battle with the main force of the Qin army, wouldn't that be asking for death?
Soon, these rebels were packed up, and Xiang Liang set off with them.
They went to a nearby village and easily killed a Qin soldier who was registering in the village, and then plundered all the food in the village.
Then, they went to the next village, and this time they killed a hundred Qin soldiers, and then the next...
The rebels following Xiang Liang suddenly became a little excited, because they had been winning battles. Although the opponent's number was small, they had destroyed so many villages, and the total number of Qin soldiers was more than a thousand.
More importantly, they stole a lot of property. There were even some scoundrels in the village who couldn't live a good life, so they simply joined Xiang Liang's team.
Ever since... Xiang Liang's men and horses actually increased. They also feel that this kind of life seems to be much easier than farming.
Xiang Pi looked at the team and looked more and more like thieves. Although the number of people is increasing, food and grass are also increasing. But for some reason, four words always flashed in Xiang Pi's mind: looking back.
On this day, during the march, Xiang Liang encountered a group of Wang's cronies.
There are five hundred soldiers in this group, all of whom are elite soldiers with bright armor and sharp swords.
Although Wang's cronies do not know the specific content of the cooperation between Wang Jian and Xiang Liang. However, they had received an order from Wang Jian. When encountering rebels, they should drive them away instead of besieging them. To defeat, not to strangle.
Therefore, the henchman smiled slightly at the soldiers behind him and said, "Just drive them away. There is no need to kill them desperately."
The Qin soldiers all agreed as practice makes perfect.
Subsequently, the two armies encountered each other, and Xiang Liang began to charge with the rebels behind him.
Three thousand people versus five hundred people, Xiang Liang had the advantage in numbers. These three thousand people have been winning battles recently, and their morale is relatively high. More importantly, Xiang Liang has been instilling the idea of revenge in them, and they generally have a desire to kill the enemy.
More importantly, Xiang Liang was really fighting. But Qin Bing was pretending to fight.
So... these five hundred Qin soldiers were instantly overwhelmed by Xiang Liang. By the time they came to their senses, more than half of them were dead or injured.
However, Qin soldiers are Qin soldiers after all. The remaining two hundred people quickly formed a formation and turned into an efficient killing machine. They were heavily surrounded, but they were not at all confused. After suffering more than a hundred casualties, they unexpectedly rushed out of the siege.
Afterwards, these Qin soldiers fled towards Wang Jian's camp.
Xiang Liang led his men to chase him for a while, but he couldn't catch up, so he had to give up.
…………
Wang Jian and Wang Heng looked at the map on the table and were deep in thought. On the map, many villages were plundered by rebels, and all the Qin soldiers inside were killed.
Many of the Qin soldiers among them were Wang Jian's cronies.
Wang Heng said doubtfully: "Xiang Liang's actions have always been discussed with us. Why did he take it upon himself to plunder these villages this time? What is his purpose?"
Wang Jian shook his head, and after a while he said, "Could this person want to break up with us?"
Wang Heng said: "Xiang Liang, shouldn't he be so stupid? If he breaks with us now, he is seeking his own death."
At this time, a centurion covered in blood ran in from outside, crying and saying: "General, we encountered Xiang Liang's three thousand troops. Five hundred people died and more than three hundred died. General Chen also died in the battle." "
Wang Jian was shocked: "Have you ever used the banner of my Wang family?"
The centurion said: "We are out. However, Xiang Liang is like crazy this time. Regardless of casualties, he must kill us all. Fortunately, most of his soldiers are old, weak, sick and disabled, and their combat power is low, so we can break out and escape." "
Wang Jian slapped several cases hard: "Xiang Liang, this shameless man, really wants it."
The centurion looked at him blankly, thinking: Xiang Liang, hasn't he rebelled long ago?
Wang Heng waved his hand and let the centurion go.
In the camp, the grandfather and grandson thought for a long time. Finally, Wang Heng shook his head: "My grandson thought about it, but I still can't figure out why Xiang Liang turned against us."
Wang Jian said bitterly: "I guess he feels that he has grown up and is unwilling to be controlled by me. He wants to defeat me and then truly occupy the Chu territory."
Wang Heng frowned: "But in my grandson's opinion, the time has not come yet. Xiang Liang will rebel sooner or later, but it is obviously a little early now."
Wang Jian said calmly: "Whether it's morning or night, I have nothing to say to such a fool. Send an order, all officers and soldiers in the army will kill the rebels when they see them. I want Xiang Liang to know that in the Chu land, Who is the one who keeps his word?" 11 Click on Baidu to read the latest chapter of "I was a master of literature in the Qin Dynasty" for free for the first time.
