The Northern Route Army led by Xiang Liangyu was basically his subordinates and well-trained. As soon as he gave the order, the Chu Xiang army surged forward like a tide, with soldiers on the left and right guarding both sides. He took the lead and rushed towards the Yulin army.
The Yulin army did not resist, and retreated one after another, making way for Xiang Liangyu and Shen Jie to contact.
"General Xiang! General Xiang, save me!" Shen Jie ignored the soldiers around him and rode his horse in the direction of Xiang Liangyu.
"Don't be impulsive!" Xiang Liangyu was shocked when he saw Shen Jie coming towards him alone. Without the protection of soldiers, how capable can one person be? If you dare to come towards me like this, isn't this a living rake?
Zhang Yu waved to Xiao Kuan, grabbed the bow on his horse, opened the bow and nocked an arrow, and aimed at Shen Jie, who was walking away.
One arrow shoots out straight, like a signal, and after one arrow there are thousands of arrows, like locusts. Shen Jie was hit by more than a dozen arrows in the back and was shot alive into a hedgehog.
"You!" Xiang Liangyu's eyes widened. His Highness the Crown Prince's brother-in-law was shot into a hedgehog in front of him and fell down from his horse.
"Protect General Shen!" Xiang Liangyu dismounted, rushed to Shen Jie's side, and slashed away several arrows with his sword. The surrounding Chu Xiang soldiers rushed over with shields, surrounded Xiang Liangyu and Shen Jie, and protected them in the center.
Xiang Liangyu helped Shen Jie hold down his chest to prevent him from breathing too fast and aggravating his injuries: "General Shen, hold on! I will take you out right now!"
Shen Jie vomited blood and took Xiang Liangyu's hand and said, "Xiang...Xiang General, don't tell...brother-in-law. I don't want to embarrass him..."
"I will understand! I will understand! General Shen, don't say anything for now. Come on, let me help you up." Xiang Liangyu agreed indiscriminately, pulling Shen Jie to help him up.
"It's useless... I was scared at first, but now... I'm not scared anymore... Tell your brother-in-law, I know everything about your sister... But she is my sister after all. So I want to make a big contribution and compensate my brother-in-law... for letting him lose..." He said in one breath Before catching up, Ge Cifeng's brother-in-law fell into Xiang Liangyu's arms, closed his eyes, and swallowed what he didn't finish.
Xiang Liangyu pulled Shen Jie up, raised his sword and cut off all the arrows on Shen Jie's back. Two Chu Xiang soldiers came next to him and picked up Shen Jie.
Zhang Yu grabbed a big knife, raised his front hooves on his war horse, looked up to the sky and hissed: "Kill with me!!!"
The Yu Lin army that had previously given way to the road surrounded the Chu Xiang army from both sides, and Zhang Yu's large group of troops arrived, and the two sides fought in a melee.
"Hey, don't be stunned. Let's go!" Xiao Kuan yanked the reins and leaned on the horse. Behind him were 3,000 selected elite soldiers of the Yulin Army. Everyone was taciturn and silent. Following Xiao Kuan, he quickly galloped away from the side towards the official road where the Chu Xiang army came from.
The general charged into the battle just to set an example. Zhang Yu did the same. Halfway through the charge, he slowly stepped aside. Instead of hiding, he went around Xiang Liangyu's back from the side. He had just shot Shen Jie with an arrow. It's not enough, and now I want to kill Xiang Liangyu.
The Xiang family is also a famous family in Chuxiang. Their ancestors were also pioneer generals under Ge Lihui, the first king of Chuxiang. They were generals from generation to generation. It has been six hundred years since the Xiang family has been in Chuxiang. If Xiang Liangyu can be killed, it will be a big blow to Chu Xiang's "little court".
After Xiang Liangyu reunited with the trapped 5,000 Chu and Hunan troops, they immediately turned around and retreated. He felt something was wrong just as the Yulin Army moved out of the way. Maybe Shen Jie and the five thousand Chu Xiang Army were just bait, and their purpose was to catch the big fish like himself. Xiang Liangyu didn't dare to think about it, so he used his sword to control the horse, slashing left and right, vowing to find a way out.
A flash of sword flashed across his eyes, and he threw an iron bridge at Liangyu. He watched helplessly as the blade slashed past the tip of his nose, and the strong wind it brought caused pain to his forehead.
"General Xiang is so young that he still goes into battle in person. It's really admirable." This sword was struck by Zhang Yu. He originally expected that Xiang Liangyu would dodge, so he cut it at a lower position. No matter how he dodged left or right, he could Half the head will be cut off. Unexpectedly, the other party reacted quickly and fell backward on the horse, dodging this dangerous blow.
Apply force to Liangyu's waist and sit up straight. The look in Zhang Yu's eyes was meaningful: "Oh, Xiang is only forty years old, why is he so old?... After all, there are some talents in the imperial court. You are so talented, if you come to Chu Xiang..."
The second sword struck, this one faster, so fast that Xiang Liangyu had no time to dodge, so he had to block with his sword. The man came with a sword, but was cut off from his horse by the force of the sword. Even his helmet fell to the side, his hair was disheveled, and he was in such an embarrassing state.
The third sword struck down vertically. Xiang Liangyu had no choice but to avoid it, and just watched helplessly as the sword struck down vertically.
"clang!"
Chu Hong stepped out from the side, kicked the side of the big knife, kicked the knife away, and rescued Xiang Liangyu.
Xiang Liangyu smiled bitterly and said, "I thought..."
"General Xiang underestimated the disciples of the Beggar Clan. Since they are friendly forces, how can they not save them?" Chu Hong put her feet back and stood firm, her body sank slightly, and she hit Zhang Yu's horse with an iron mountain support. After Zhang Yu's broadsword was kicked away, he immediately turned around and used the long handle of the broadsword to hit Chu Hong.
"Er~~" The war horse and Zhang Yu were knocked to the ground by Chu Hong. Even if Zhang Yu used the hilt of his sword to support him, he could not stop Chu Hong's iron mountain support. At the critical moment, Zhang Yu raised his foot to step on the horse's head and jumped to the side, thus avoiding being crushed by the horse.
After Zhang Yu landed, he quickly retreated without saying a word. With just this iron mountain support, Zhang Yu understood that he was no match for this woman. Instead of struggling here, it was better to step aside and use his force to suppress her.
"This man has some talents, don't let him go! You can't recruit him, so why not just kill him and get rid of the problem." Xiang Liangyu was helped up by the soldiers on the side and said to Chu Hong.
Hearing this, Chu Hong smiled and said, "Oh, he can't leave!" After saying that, he stretched out his feet to pick up a spear from the ground, pointed it at the direction of Zhang Yu's escape, and threw it. Just as the spear was released, Chu Hong blew a whistle.
The spear pierced a Chu Xiang soldier and a Yu Lin soldier in succession. The two corpses were carried upside down by the spear and hit several soldiers. By the time Zhang Yu was around, the strength had already faded.
Zhang Yu had just pulled out the spear from the two soldiers. The next moment, two people suddenly appeared from the left and right, wearing Chu Xiang armor. They were two Chu Xiang generals. Each of them was holding a short sword and attacked from a flank.
Zhang Yu wielded a sword with one hand and a gun with the other. He fired his bow from left to right and fought on both sides. While blocking the attack, he did not forget to shrink back and hide in the crowd.
A foot came out from the crowd and kicked Zhang Yu on the back. Then two men appeared out of the way. They hugged Zhang Yu's waist and pushed Zhang Yu forward.
"Oops!" Zhang Yu's heart tightened and he couldn't stop his steps at all. He took two steps forward before he stumbled and fell to the ground. The two warriors holding daggers immediately rushed forward and pinned Zhang Yu to the ground.
Under the suppression of the four people, Zhang Yu continued to struggle. A tall and thin man slowly walked over and kicked Zhang Yu hard on the head. Zhang Yu felt like the world was spinning and he suddenly lost the strength to struggle.
"General Zhang!" Zhang Yu's personal soldiers found that Zhang Yu was pinned down and wanted to rush to rescue him, but were blocked by more Chu Xiang soldiers and could not come over at all.
"Send the order! Lieutenant General Zhang Meng led his troops back to Wancheng... and awaits Commander Tang's... dispatch!" Zhang Yu knew something was wrong and tried to regain his consciousness and said hurriedly. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, his weapon, the broadsword, was picked up, the blade aimed at his neck, and he slashed it off.
Zhang Yu's big head was cut off directly, blood spilled out, and his body suddenly tensed up. Slowly, without struggling, his whole body gradually softened, and he died completely.
Seeing Zhang Yu being beheaded on the spot in the chaos, the surrounding Yulin troops went crazy and rushed forward desperately. The Chu Xiang army also resisted and refused to give an inch. In just this moment, dozens more people were killed and injured on both sides. Not everyone was brave enough to charge and kill without fear of death. Some people were busy looking for deputy general Zhang Meng to convey Zhang Yu's orders.
Zhang Yu's death did not have a big impact on the two armies fighting together. With tens of thousands of people fighting, no one would care much about who fell. What's more, the soldiers in the distance didn't even know that Zhang Yu was dead, so they didn't care. Fighting with his opponent.
Regardless of whether a general succeeds or fails, his bones will wither.
…
"General Xiao, there are only three thousand of us. Can it be done if we go like this?" the cavalryman behind Xiao Kuan asked.
Xiao Kuan grinned and said: "Are you afraid? Hey, listen to the people behind you. If you are afraid, it's still too late to go back now!"
"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid. If I were, I couldn't follow you here, General Xiao. I'm just worried that things won't work out... We'll die in vain..." the cavalryman said with sadness.
"Death in vain? How could it be in vain? Leading three thousand men and horses deep into the hinterland of Chu and Xiang, how can this be accomplished? As long as we enter Chu and Xiang, the whole world will remember us! Hahahaha!" Xiao Kuan laughed. Some are crazy, which makes people shudder.
"Daqiang, you are just scared. General Xiao made it very clear to us when we came out that we are going to die. What? We haven't talked about a wife yet, are you afraid of death? Hahahaha."
"Oh, Daqiang, let me tell you, this woman is very interesting, I know it very well! Xiaofang from our village and I were in the firewood pile behind our house... tsk tsk tsk tsk"
"Okay, okay, you've said this 800 times. Could it be that Daqiang misses a woman? In my opinion, Daqiang now looks quite like a woman! Hahahaha..."
The cavalrymen behind him all laughed and hooted. Daqiang looked back and said angrily: "Yes, I miss a woman, but I'm poor and have no choice. I can't get one! If any of you asks for a wife, what's the point?" My daughter-in-law is keeping an eye on me. If anything happens, don’t tell me that I am a strong and unkind person!"
"Hahahahaha!!!"
All the cavalrymen laughed one after another, and the atmosphere was very cheerful. Xiao Kuan was also laughing, but not because of the chatter of these soldiers. He stared closely at the west side, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and the heat in the air was dissipating little by little, but his heart was burning like a fire, and he could hardly wait any longer.
Soon, the smile on Xiao Kuan's face slowly faded away. In the distance, another group of Chu and Hunan troops appeared...
