Under the night, endless firelight shines between heaven and earth.
On the endless plain in the distance, smoke and dust rose in all directions, and the surrounding night was awakened by the noisy firelight.
On the bank of Wujiang River, Xiang Yu walked out of the tent with a solemn expression.
He held the big halberd in his hand, his face gloomy, and he stared solemnly at the distant firelight.
"The Qin army is coming?"
The Qin army is coming.
This is not a question, but a definite sentence.
Lu Gong looked at the things in his hands and the people in front of him, and sighed, slightly sighing: "Then it seems you can't leave."
"Now that the Qin army is here, we don't have any chance."
No chance?
Liu Bang's eyes flashed with reluctance. He looked at Lu Gong in front of him and said softly: "Lv Gong, do we really have no chance?"
Lu Gong seemed to be mocking but also seemed to be desperate when he said: "Ask Xiang Yu or Zhang Zifang if they have even the slightest bit of confidence to defeat Wang Jian."
"That's Wang Jian!"
Liu Bang gritted his teeth and walked to Xiang Yu's side, with madness in his eyes.
"King of Chu."
He looked at Xiang Yu and said, "The Qin army is coming."
"Wang Jian is the commander-in-chief, and Wang Ben, Han Xin, and Zhang Han are the deputy generals, leading an army of 100,000 people."
Hearing this, Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang's hands trembled slightly.
Especially Xiang Yu.
He recalled the trace of blood back then, as if his father's blood had traveled through time from the distant past and splashed onto his cheek.
And the person who killed his father and spilled his father's blood is the person who is about to kill him now.
Not just his father.
His grandfather Xiang Yan was also killed...
Xiang Yu was extremely excited at this moment.
I don’t know if my trembling hands are filled with excitement, fear, terror, or even other emotions?
"Gather troops!"
Xiang Yu roared angrily, his voice resounded throughout the sky, and his words echoed on the surface of the Wujiang River!
Everything is surrounding him!
The soldiers who heard Xiang Yu's roar quickly gathered together, and then gathered together, with fear and blood in their eyes!
If there is no way to survive, then who wouldn't fight to the death?
On the river, not a single ship was left, only the remains of a ship that had been burned cleanly by fire, and the dark color blended with the night sky.
The sky is very dark at this moment, and the night before dawn is the darkest!
The army was rushing in the distance, and countless soldiers directly surrounded this section of the Wujiang River. The riverside of this section was now filled with murderous intent.
A young general led the way, wearing silver armor and a cold look on his face.
He held a long gun in his hand, and the silver gun and silver armor looked even more majestic.
It was Han Xin.
Han Xin was on horseback, heading toward the river ahead.
At this time, Xiang Yu was also riding on horseback, with a solemn expression on his face. He looked at Han Xin coming from a distance.
When I saw Han Xin, I felt relieved.
He didn't know this young general, he shouldn't be a powerful person.
But after taking a breath, Xiang Yu became even more angry. What does this mean?
Isn't he the majestic overlord of Western Chu worthy of Wang Jian's serious treatment?
By letting a young general deal with you, do you want to make yourself a whetstone for this young general?
hateful!
Xiang Yu took the lead and led the troops behind him to rush forward.
At this time, the army in front of them also stopped. It didn't look like there were 100,000 troops, but at most more than 5,000 soldiers.
There was some confusion in Xiang Yu's eyes. Could it be that Liu Bang's news was false?
He looked at Han Xin in front of the military formation and said in a deep voice: "Who is coming?"
Han Xin looked at Xiang Yu, and for some reason he felt that this person seemed a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
Seeing Xiang Yu, a surge of pride suddenly emerged in his heart.
It seems that the two of them should be engaged in a war by the Wujiang River...
Damn familiarity...
Han Xin looked at the people in the distance coldly, and said with the same seriousness: "I am the vanguard of General Wang Jian, and I am Han Xin of Huaiyin!"
"Are you Xiang Yu?"
He pulled the reins of the horse beneath him, and the horse moved back and forth a little restlessly.
Xiang Yu squinted his eyes, Wang Jian's subordinate?
It seems that the people sent by Da Qin are really Wang Jian's group.
In his sorrow, he even felt a little proud that the Qin Dynasty actually sent a group of generals and soldiers capable of destroying six countries to capture him...
Is your status so high?
Thinking of this, he chuckled: "Where is that old man Wang Jian?"
Xiang Yu's voice became louder and louder, appearing extremely passionate.
"He killed my grandfather, killed my father, and destroyed my homeland. Today I am going to kill him!"
Han Xin snorted coldly, looked at Xiang Yu and said, "Does General Wang still need to take action to kill you?"
"How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife?"
"It's just overkill."
The silver gun in his hand pointed at Xiang Yu in front of him: "Xiang Yu, you have been here by the Wujiang River for nearly half a month. Do you know why we are here now?"
Xiang Yu looked at Han Xin with a slight silence on his face.
But Han Xin did not give Xiang Yu time to react, and immediately said directly: "I tell you, this is because His Majesty wants to make you completely desperate!"
"You have been here by the Wujiang River for half a month. Have you not thought of recruiting soldiers?"
"But in your hometown of Jiangdong, there are people who defect to you and conspire with you?"
Xiang Yu continued to be silent, he already understood what Han Xin wanted to do.
But at this time, he didn't know what to say to restore the military morale behind him.
Han Xin raised his head and looked up at the curtain.
The sky is black, just like the world.
"Xiang Yu, all the leaders and people in Guizhou are unwilling to follow you in your rebellion. They even reported your rebellion and wanted to drive you away when they saw you."
"Don't you know why?"
"Don't you feel a little guilty in your heart?"
Han Xin asked sharply: "Are you doing it for your motherland, or for your own throne, or for your own glory and wealth? Others don't know, don't you yourself know?"
"You are just a selfish villain who stirred up war in the world for your own benefit and tried to make the people fall into war again!"
"How can someone like you be called an overlord?"
Xiang Yu looked at Han Xin in a deep voice and said, "Han Xin, don't talk nonsense like this and disturb my military morale!"
"Everyone in the world knows about Qin's tyranny!"
"The strictness of Qin's laws is even more frightening to people."
"Aren't you doing it for your own benefit?"
"If you weren't doing it for glory and wealth, why did you seek refuge in Da Qin? Help Da Qin and help the evil tyrants?"
After hearing Xiang Yu's words, Han Xin laughed angrily.
He looked at Xiang Yu and said, "The tyranny of Great Qin?"
"What kind of tyranny did Da Qin have?"
Han Xin snorted coldly: "The reason why you say that Da Qin is a tyranny is because Da Qin is targeting you!"
"In other words, Great Qin is targeting you, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms!"
"It's you who obviously shouldn't occupy those things, but you still steal money from the Guizhou leaders to make your own lives better!"
"Only you think that Da Qin's rule is tyranny!"
"Like the common people and the leaders of Guizhou."
"They have their own land, their own family, household registration, road guidance, and even a stable life in Daqin."
"Why aren't they willing to support you?"
"Isn't it because going to Chu State is not good for them?"
"As long as your team is better, will they support Da Qin?"
"Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu."
Han Xin looked at Xiang Yu with disappointment in his eyes.
"You are such a person, I am really disappointed!"
He raised his head and looked at the soldiers behind Xiang Yu in the distance.
"Everyone!"
"Your Majesty has a decree. You all left the Qin Dynasty with the traitor Xiang Yu. The reason for your rebellion is because Xiang Yu deceived and forced you to order!"
"As long as you lay down your weapons now and surrender immediately, His Majesty can order you to be treated leniently!"
Han Xin looked at the people behind Xiang Yu with a little sincerity in his voice.
"Your Majesty has said that all those who surrender will only have to serve half a year in corvee, and your sins will be forgiven. Those who can capture Xiang Yu will not only be innocent, but they will even be awarded the second rank and be given land!"
"Get the Marquis Award today!"
After finishing his words, Xiang Yu clearly felt some noise coming from the soldiers behind him, and there seemed to be some unrest...
This condition is really too tempting...
Even Xiang Yu himself was a little moved, let alone the soldiers behind him?
But at this time, the person who is about to be "headed" is Xiang Yu himself...
Xiang Yu felt that this was not a good thing.
He waved the halberd in his hand and glared at Han Xin in front of him: "Traitor! Don't take advantage of the cholera army's morale!"
"Take my halberd!"
The halberd in Xiang Yu's hand danced instantly, and this was like a signal, and countless shouts of killing shook the sky!
In the distance, Wang Jian, who was raiding the formation for Han Xin, touched his chin with a look of astonishment on his face.
"I thought this kid had some new tricks. Why are we facing each other directly?"
He smiled bitterly, but Wang Ben behind him couldn't help laughing.
"Father, what's the matter?"
"Junior Brother's response is already very complete. There is no room for Junior Brother's military strategy to be used here."
"But even so, junior brother can still inspire Xiang Yu's military morale."
"At this time, how many people are there behind Xiang Yu who are sincerely willing to fight for Xiang Yu?"
The spear in Han Xin's hand was fighting with the euphorbia in Xiang Yu's hand. Han Xin was certainly no match for Xiang Yu, at least in terms of force.
Han Xin is a soldier, he uses soldiers like a god.
He is not a martial saint.
And even the Martial Saint of later generations would not be an enemy of Yihe in front of Xiang Yu, right? [Note 1]: Apologize to Mr. Guan. or2
At this time, under the endless darkness, the army behind Xiang Yu that had launched a charge was surrounded.
Each soldier held a shield in his hand, and they formed a strange formation.
In the distance, Mr. Lu stood in front of the chariot, and Liu Bang stood beside him, looking at the dozen repeating crossbows on the car. These repeating crossbows seemed to be semi-finished products, but that was enough.
Liu Bang waved his hand, and several people behind him loaded the crossbow arrows instantly.
The next moment, Liu Bang led his army towards the direction of the army, and his voice roared like thunder in the sky!
"kill!"
There was no room for retreat at this point, so what if there was a small boat?
Liu Bang knew it when he saw this repeating crossbow.
So what if I get on that ship?
After this continuous crossbow is fired, even if he is on the ship, he will be shot into a sieve.
Therefore, there is only one battle!
Fight to the death!
The shouts of killing were loud, and while Liu Bang was fighting, he discovered a problem.
There were many soldiers wearing the uniforms of King Chu's soldiers. Their swords were directed not at the Qin army, but at their own people!
Some soldiers who were completely defenseless were instantly killed by these rebellious thieves!
Liu Bang's eyes widened angrily, his eyes filled with blood.
Fan Hui followed him, holding a shield in one hand and a broadsword in the other. Blood slipped from the blade and splashed on the ground at his feet.
At this time, there was already countless blood on the ground, and the blood dried up quickly, forming patches of black stuff.
"King Chu!"
"There's a thief!"
Liu Bang's shrill roar echoed under the night sky. High-end wars often depend on the simplest means.
Sow discord!
...........
five days ago
When he was about to reach the Wujiang River, Han Xin selected a few of his soldiers.
These people have one thing in common.
It is marked on their household registrations that these are Chu people.
Also, some of their clansmen were in the King of Chu's military tent.
These are the people Han Xin asked Chen Ke to find.
What is the crime of treason?
Kill the nine tribes.
According to the laws of Qin, if their clan brother is confirmed to be in King Chu's military tent, they will definitely be implicated.
And the consequence of being implicated is death.
They don't want to die,
Just when they were at a loss, Han Xin gave them a chance.
A chance to survive.
three days ago
Several middle-aged men with messy bodies, scars, and vicissitudes of life on their faces, who seemed to be refugees, came to the bank of Wujiang River.
After they arrived here, they were first discovered by people under the Chu King's army, and then they met their brothers.
two days ago
Before Xiang Yu met with Liu Bang, these people had already discussed it with their clan brothers.
Except for less than 300 people, everyone else has already negotiated with them.
And the promise they gave was very simple.
wait.
After their general comes here, he will definitely find a suitable time to tell them clearly in front of everyone and in front of Wujiang.
Surrender without killing, and you can become a good citizen.
One day ago, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu met.
Tonight, the fighting begins.
.........
Xiang Yu, who was fighting with Han Xin, heard this and subconsciously turned his head to glance at the two fighting parties.
Many people were killed directly, while some were still resisting.
At this time, the silver spear in Han Xin's hand stabbed directly.
Xiang Yu subconsciously returned the visit, but his big halberd did not block anything, because the silver spear was not aimed at him in the first place.
But the black hair under his crotch.
Wu Zui screamed in sorrow, countless blood flowed out of its body, and a huge wound appeared on its body.
"Xilulu——"
The war horses screamed, and Xiang Yu could no longer sit on Wu Zui.
Wu Zhui's legs were kneeling on the ground, and his eyes seemed unable to close. Wu Zhui was seriously injured.
Xiang Yu rolled over, and the big halberd in his hand instantly supported him to stand up.
At this time, Han Xin, who was riding a white horse, instantly retreated.
The sound of fighting behind him had almost stopped, and there were countless corpses even around Liu Bang.
Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, Fan Hui, and dozens of soldiers were surrounded by a circle of people.
Han Xin rode away from here.
From a distance, Wang Jian looked at this scene with a little admiration in his eyes.
At this time, the casualties of the Qin army were less than one-tenth.
As for the soldiers beside Xiang Yu, only a dozen of them had been killed.
Even these dozen or so, there are Liu Bang's soldiers.
The blood spilled on the ground and covered the corpses. The corpses were connected one after another. Xiang Yu could even see their faces and think of their names.
There seemed to be a glimmer of light in the dark night in the sky, and the light seemed to cut through the sky, revealing a ferocious face.
Light seemed to have arrived at this moment.
But this light does not belong to Xiang Yu, nor does it belong to Liu Bang.
But from Qin.
Xiang Yu looked at the people standing there with a hint of indifference in his voice.
"You betrayed me?"
Everyone was holding spears. You looked at me and I looked at you, with a little sadness on their faces.
betray?
Where did the betrayal come from?
The leader just said: "You led us to rebel, but you can't give us a future."
"Our families are missing us at home while we are out and about."
"What a bullshit motherland. If it weren't for a little money, to survive, and for my mother to live a better life, who would be willing to follow you to restore the country?"
"The heads of Guizhou in the Great Qin Dynasty have begun to distribute land. They can plant their own land and no one can snatch it away."
"This land is distributed based on head count. Even the families of humble people like us can get it."
There was indifference in the eyes of the leader, and this indifference stung Xiang Yu.
"In that case, why don't we surrender to Great Qin?"
Xiang Yu stood there, his hand holding the euphorbia trembling slightly. He sighed and looked at the person speaking in the distance.
There was sadness in his eyes: "Did you betray your homeland for a little profit?"
Xiang Yu looked at Han Xin: "People like this can betray me and you. Why are you willing to believe them?"
The leader glanced at Han Xin worriedly, but Han Xin just smiled.
He gained the courage and immediately looked at Xiang Yu and said, "Xiang Yu, are you really plotting against your homeland for some bullshit reason?"
"If so, then why are you the King of Chu?"
"Are all the people with the Xiong clan dead?"
"Mr. Mi Dong is still here. He is not the King of Chu. Why are you the King of Chu?"
He laughed disdainfully.
"You are just doing it for yourself, for profit, and to become a master!"
ps: I’m not very good at writing war scenes, so I can only omit the description like this. I’m really sorry. I will find a few books to study and then revise this chapter.
This chapter currently has over 5,000 words, so I’ll fill it in when the time comes.
Also, there's another chapter tonight.
