In the morning, Chu Palace.
The battle has ended, and the soldiers of the Qin army are cleaning the battlefield and cleaning up the bloodstains in the palace.
Xiao Yuan, dressed in black brocade clothes and with his hair bound in jade hairpins, stepped forward.
Seeing him, Su Yi and other generals rushed to greet him. They all clasped their fists and bent down: "Your Majesty."
Xiao Yuan waved his hand and subconsciously looked at the surrounding environment.
Seeing this, Su Yi began to report: "Everyone in the Chu royal family has been executed, but... the whereabouts of the Prince of Chu have not yet been found."
"What?" Xiao Yuan frowned. This Prince of Chu can be said to be more important than the King of Chu. If he escapes, there will be endless troubles.
Especially if he goes to the Ling Kingdom, the Ling King will definitely support him. Politically, it will cause the Prince of Chu to continue to cause chaos in the Chu land. Moreover, the hearts of those old nobles in the Chu Kingdom must still be in the Chu clan.
Seeing his unkind expression, Su Yi quickly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have ordered the whole city to be sealed off. I believe Prince Chu cannot escape."
"Be sure to eliminate the roots!"
"yes!"
It's near noon, outside the north gate of Chuzhou.
At this time, Chen Ba's 30,000 frontier troops either surrendered or dispersed as Han Gao opened the city. The remaining 5,000 to 6,000 troops were summoned by the Prince of Chu and were about to escape from Chu.
In the wilderness, looking at Chu's last remaining troops, Prince Chu couldn't help but say: "Han Gao, the thief, looks like a loyal minister on the surface, but in fact, he is the biggest traitor. He is really hateful!"
"Your Highness, now is not the time to talk about this. It's better to hurry up, otherwise, the Qin army will chase you." Jiang Lu reminded.
Prince Chu was around 20 years old. He was dressed in luxurious clothes. He was riding a war horse. He looked around first and then said: "Commander Jiang, which way does he think is better for us to take?"
"I think that Qin's cavalry, which dominates the world, is extremely fast and cannot compete with them. We should rush to Danjiangkou as soon as possible and head east from the Danjiang waters. There are no Qin warships there. As long as we get on the waterway, we should be safe. ." Jiang Gu said.
This is indeed the best route. Prince Chu thought for a moment, then nodded, pulled the reins and said, "Let's go."
Six thousand Chu troops plus a few hundred Black Flag Battalion personnel began to follow the Chu prince in an attempt to enter the Ling Kingdom by water. But from here to the Danjiang waters, you need to take the official road.
Half an hour later.
Prince Chu and Jiang Bo reined in the reins at the same time, and their expressions changed greatly at the same time.
Because on the road ahead, at some point, countless Qin troops appeared, forming a neat square formation.
The front row is half squatting, with the short crossbow at the end.
With such black armor and red tassels, a sense of oppression hits his face.
After the Qin army joined forces in Chuzhou, the total number of troops was hundreds of thousands. Although they broke through the royal city, the siege outside had not been removed. If the Chu prince wanted to escape from Chuzhou, he would undoubtedly have to break through the siege through a fierce battle.
The general guarding this place was none other than Peng Shuang. He was riding a war horse. He looked at Prince Chu and others opposite him and said seriously: "Surrender immediately! Otherwise, shoot without mercy!"
Hearing this, Prince Chu couldn't help but swallowed, his face turned pale and he said: "Jiang... Commander Jiang..."
Jiang Gu's face was equally ugly, but in this situation, there was no other way out. He immediately gritted his teeth, pulled out his sword fiercely, and pointed forward: "Kill——"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was the first to rush out on horseback, followed closely by the Hundred Cavalry Black Flag Battalion.
The war horse galloped, and Peng Shuang waved his hand with a cold face: "Fire the arrow!"
At the command, the soldiers in the front row all pulled the triggers, and the crossbow arrows were fired in a dense mass.
Plop, plop!
The sound of arrows piercing flesh was mixed with miserable howls. In just a moment, many people were shot off their horses.
After the arrow was fired, the front row of crossbowmen quickly retreated.
"Array-"
There was a loud shout, and the Qin army officers and soldiers burst out shouting together, smashing their heavy shields on the ground, and raising their halberds behind them.
"attack--"
The sound of neat steps, like thorns of halberds, were facing forward in unison. The Qin army began to spread its left and right wings, and instead of retreating from the front, it advanced directly and pressed forward.
Amid the neighing of the war horses, the two sides quickly met, and a row of halberd hooks directly harvested a large area.
Jiang Gu rode his horse into the crowd and broke through the shield formation in the middle. He slashed left and right with his sword and killed a group of Qin troops. At the same time, he also shouted loudly: "Protect His Highness the Crown Prince——"
As soon as he finished speaking, strong wind hit him.
"Death!" With a loud shout, Peng Shuang swung one arm fiercely and slashed down with his long sword.
Feeling that the wind was not good, out of instinct, Jiang Bei struck out with his sword.
A clang!
This blow was so powerful! He only held a sharp sword, how could he block the long sword? His shoulders instantly collapsed, and the horse under his crotch couldn't bear the force. He neighed and almost fell to his knees.
ah! ? Jiang Gu was shocked and turned pale. He just had time to react. After Peng Shuang struck with his sword, he quickly changed his position. With one wrong move of his hands, the cold light came again!
Knowing that the opponent's arm strength was thousands of pounds, Jiang Bu dared to fight hard. He had no time to think about it, so he had to abandon his horse and volley behind him. He was in the air, but he slashed with his sword.
The strong wind shot out like an invisible sharp blade. Peng Shuang made a quick decision, slapped the horse on its back, and jumped into the air.
At the same time, the sword energy struck and instantly strangled the war horse on the spot!
When the blow missed, Jiang Gu looked stern, he hit the soldier's head with his foot, and used his strength to shoot back quickly.
"Get away!" Peng Shuang swung his sword and directly knocked it back, then rushed forward.
Long knives and sharp swords collided from time to time, and the two fought fiercely.
As the commander of the Black Flag Battalion, Jiang Gu was definitely a top-notch master, but it was a pity that he met a Qin general.
Peng Shuang opened and closed, and with his martial arts, he swept through thousands of armies.
Jiang Gu's sword moves as fast as lightning, and he is cunning and ruthless.
He was flexible, moving left and right. The sharp sword in his hand was like a poisonous snake. Just a moment ago, it was on the left side. After one strike, it suddenly appeared on the right side, looking like a ghost.
With such an erratic and strange attack, if it had been someone else, he would have been killed by the sword long ago, but Peng Shuang just stood there, waving his sword to block, using every move without any panic.
He dodged again and struck out with a sword, but the long sword just happened to be swept towards him. With a huge force, the swords collided with each other, and Jiang Gu was knocked away again. His feet touched the ground, dragging a long trace. .
He couldn't do anything to Peng Shuang. Instead, every time the weapons struck each other, he would bear the brute force. Seeing that he would not be able to win if the fight continued like this, he no longer wanted to fight. Taking this opportunity, he turned around with his sword and wanted to find The figure of Prince Chu.
But Peng Shuang's pursuit has arrived: "Where to go!"
Under the strong wind, Jiang Bu had no choice but to grit his teeth and fight with him again.
In the fight here, the Chu army had already been defeated on the entire battlefield. This was a battle without any suspense. During the harvest, a Qin army general pointed his sword in the direction of the Prince of Chu: "Don't leave, Prince Chu!"
This loud shout was like a shot of stimulant, causing the surrounding Qin troops to shout and rush over like crazy regardless.
That was the Prince of Chu. You can imagine what a credit it would be if you could take his head!
