Chapter 57
The Chu army rushed forward, but the Qin army was in crossbow formation and struck head-on. Thousands of crossbow arrows swept across the battlefield. A burst of screams rang out from the Chu army's formation. Even Fan Kuai managed to avoid the disaster by blocking with his left hand shield.
.
Zhou Bo, on the other hand, was lying on his side on his horse. After dodging the arrows, he jumped up, brandished his weapon, and continued to charge forward.
After firing one round of crossbow arrows, the Chu army had already reached dozens of steps away before it could be cocked, leaving the Qin army unable to fire the second round. The crossbowmen hurriedly withdrew. At this time, the cavalry on both wings of the Qin army suddenly rushed out.
, cooperated with the spearmen and Ge soldiers of the Chinese army, and attacked the Chu army.
The two armies collided, and Fan Kuai swept his axe, killing several Qin soldiers in succession. The Qin army was frightened, and they all gave way. At this time, Zhou Bo also rushed in, holding his spear horizontally and flying left and right.
The encirclement of the Qin army was getting bigger and bigger, but the powerful impact of the Chu army, followed by thousands of cavalry, were Ge soldiers and halberd soldiers, waving their weapons and shouting, they rushed into the Qin army's formation.
The two armies fought desperately. For the Qin army, Lantian could not be saved and Xianyang was in danger. But for the Chu army, this was the last battle to conquer the capital of Qin. They all fought hard and refused to retreat even half a step.
Geng Fa, who was staring at the battle situation in the middle of the army, sighed. This Chu army was indeed different. No wonder the Qin army suffered repeated defeats, and even the Aoguan Pass was lost. At this time, Geng Fa knew very well that the Qin army was gone.
, he couldn't change anything, the only thing he could do was to live and die with the Qin State, and repay Ziying's kindness to him.
After a moment of silence, Geng Fa looked at Ying Tie aside and sighed: "The Chu army is unstoppable. I have no absolute chance of winning this battle. You should quickly return to Xianyang!"
"Soldiers have died in hundreds of battles. How can I give up the position of Lantian? Otherwise, what is the use of returning to Xianyang?" Yingtie replied calmly, unwilling to retreat.
Looking at Ying Tie's determined eyes, Geng Fa sighed again: "Listen to me..."
Before Geng Fa could finish speaking, a burst of shouts erupted from the front. Geng Fa looked intently and saw that the Qin army's position in front had collapsed. A large number of Chu troops were rushing towards the Chinese army. Geng Fa was so anxious that he whipped his whip.
Ying Tie's mount was frightened and turned around and ran back. Geng Fa looked at Ying Tie's furious eyes on the horse and shouted: "Assist your father well and defend Xianyang! I'm going!"
Ying Tie ran farther and farther, and a group of 5,000 Chinese cavalry turned around to escort Ying Tie away. At this time, Geng Fa looked ahead again, drew his long sword, and shouted, "Think about your parents, think about it."
I miss your wives and children. The Chu army has already reached our doorstep. If we are cowardly and if we retreat, Xianyang will be devastated. For the sake of our homeland, soldiers, follow me and kill them!"
"Kill!..." Thunderous shouts erupted in the Qin army's formation. Thousands of cavalry and infantry shouted and rushed forward. Even the crossbowmen rushed to the front line and counterattacked the Chu army in a wave-shaped formation.
In the front, both Qin and Chu soldiers were more or less hit by crossbow arrows, but they still fought fiercely at the front line, and the war was extremely fierce.
The Chu army pressed harder and harder, and it had an absolute numerical advantage. It divided the Qin army, surrounded it, and killed them one by one. The Qin army gradually fell into passivity, and the battlefield turned into a one-sided massacre. The Qin army began to retreat, but was defeated by the Chu army that rushed up.
Soldiers chased and killed.
Geng Fa fought desperately in the formation, and countless Chu soldiers died under his sword. But in the end, Geng Fa still couldn't hold on. His physical strength was seriously exhausted. After being pierced through the thigh by several long spears, Geng Fa was killed.
He fell off his horse, but he still fought hard.
Sitting on the ground, he could still slash the enemy, but Chu soldiers kept brandishing halberds and stabbing Geng Fa. Just when Geng Fa used his last strength to kill a Chu soldier, in the distance, a
A galloping war horse came. On the horse, Fan Kuai roared and swung his axe, chopped off Geng Fa's head, and then held it in his hand to show off to the army.
The Qin army gradually collapsed, but soon, a cavalry group of thousands of people came from the west. Ying Tie took the lead. At the last moment, Ying Tie did not choose to leave the battlefield. Even if he left, Qin would still suffer because of Lantian
Xianyang was in danger due to its fall, so Yingtie finally chose to fight to the death.
He led thousands of cavalry back to the battlefield, roaring and roaring towards the Chu army. But soon, he saw the head of Geng Fa in Fan Kuai's hand. Ying Tie was furious. He suddenly waved his spear and killed Fan Kuai.
go.
At this time, Fan Kuai also saw Ying Tie coming to kill him. He laughed coldly, urged his horse forward, and went straight to Ying Tie. However, a general rushed out from the diagonal stab, and shouted: "You have killed a general, this one
Give me the credit! Haha."
This person was Zhou Bo. At this time, he was galloping on his horse and soon encountered Ying Tie. Although Ying Ziying was a fierce general who had been on the battlefield for many years, Ying Tie was not as heroic as Nai's father. He fought three times with Zhou Bo and was speared by Zhou Bo.
The assassin fell off his horse, and soon, a large army of Chu troops came and swallowed up thousands of Qin army cavalry...
After defeating Geng Fa's 50,000 Qin army, Liu Bang marched all the way north, garrisoned his troops, and looked at Xianyang in the distance. This day has finally arrived.
In the early morning, the Chu army marched to the city of Xianyang, surrounded Xianyang, and shot the surrender letter // into the city, hoping to capture Xianyang without any bloodshed. Liu Bang, who was always standing on horseback in the middle of the army, looked at the huge Xianyang and sighed in his heart.
After thousands and thousands of years of fierce fighting, it is so difficult to get to this day.
...
It was already early October. After Ziying ascended the throne and had just changed his reign, officials gathered in Xianyang Palace to celebrate the complete eradication of Zhao Gao's party and beheaded nearly 3,000 people in public.
At this time, as long as we guard the key points and the winter in Guanzhong is extremely cold, we will be able to withstand the Chu army's advance. Thinking of this, Ziying couldn't help but raise his head and laugh. At this time, Ying Liang, who had been sitting next to him, asked
: "Why is dad laughing?"
"The Qin State is in danger of passing a pass. Although the land of Guandong has been lost, as long as we manage the land of Guanzhong from now on and guard our ancestral heritage, we will regain the land of Guandong and revitalize the Qin Dynasty in the future." Ziying was now three years old.
He was very drunk and spoke in a somewhat arrogant way. On the side, Prime Minister Li Long smiled and said: "What the king said is absolutely true."
Just when Li Long just praised him, Han Tan rushed in anxiously from outside the palace, holding a piece of cloth in his hand, came to the center of the hall, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, no... it's not good, the Chu army has already reached the city.
Got it!"
"What?" Ziying was shocked. The wine glass in his hand fell off and fell to the ground, making a loud noise.
At this time, all the officials were surprised and stood up one after another. Some even tried to escape, but were pushed to the ground by the imperial guards responsible for maintaining order.
At this time, Ziying could no longer care about the panic of the officials. He stood up and walked to the jade steps. Han Tan hurriedly stepped forward and handed the surrender letter to Ziying. Ziying opened it and read it for a long time. Ziying sighed:
"Why is it so happy?"
"The situation is over, how can I face my ancestors again?" Ziying collapsed on the ground, and a line of old tears fell from Ziying's eyes.
On the side, Ying Liang, who had been immersed in joy just now, felt his father's panic. He jumped up from the table, cupped his hands and said: "Father, come again, my son is willing to lead the army out of the city and fight to the death with the Chu army!"
When Ying Ziying talked about a fight to the death, he thought of his son Ying Tie who had gone to war a few days ago. He hurriedly looked at Han Tan and asked, "Where is Tie'er stationing his troops at this time?"
"In Lantian... fight to the death with the Chu army..." Han Tan couldn't go on. Ying Ziying had already guessed that Ying Tie might have been killed in battle.
There was silence in the main hall. Ying Ziying sat on the ground, thought for a long time, and sighed: "Can't fight, can't defend. It seems that I can only surrender!"
"Your Majesty..." All the officials knelt on the ground, seeming to beg Ziying to surrender, and also seeming to be admonishing Ziying not to give up easily. Ying Liang sighed softly beside him: "If my father gives up Xianyang, Qin...
Gone."
"I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore!" Ziying sighed, stood up and walked to the back hall.
In the afternoon, when the Chu army held up their shields and demonstrated to the Qin army, all the Qin flags were taken down at the top of Xianyang City and replaced with white flags, which meant surrender.
Half an hour later, when a low horn sounded from the top of the city, the south gate of Xianyang slowly opened, and nearly a thousand Qin soldiers rushed out of the city gate and formed formations on both sides.
Ziying is bare-chested and bare-backed, with a thorn on his back. Behind him, Ying Liang is holding a seal in his hand, following closely. Behind him, a carriage is pulling a coffin. This is a grand ceremony for the surrender of the Qin army's monarch. The meaning is
He begged the Chu army to give him his whole body and die.
The rumbling war drums sounded in the Chu army formation, and the central army gate flag was raised. Liu Bang led the generals to ride out on horseback. After seeing Ziying, Liu Bang hurriedly dismounted, stepped forward, and took down the thorns for Ziying.
He wrapped his own cloak around Ziying's exposed body and then comforted him: "Why bother? I won't kill you."
A few hours later, Ziying personally led Liu Bang's horse, and the army slowly entered the city. People lined the streets, eating pots of pulp to welcome the new monarch.
After the Chu army entered the city, they posted announcements in the streets and alleys of Xianyang to appease the people, vowing not to disturb the people. However, some Chu troops still violated military discipline, harassed the people, and raped young girls. At this time, Liu Bang went straight to Xianyang Palace and ignored Chu.
The unrest of the army in Xianyang.
Just when he arrived in front of the Xianyang Palace, Xiao He came on horseback and gave a military salute beside Liu Bang. Liu Bang nodded and continued to walk to the main hall. Xiao He sighed from the side: "My lord, why don't you kill Ziying and replace him?"
"My army can advance into Guanzhong only by holding high the banner of righteousness. How can I kill the old master of Xianyang when I first enter Xianyang? How can I win the hearts and minds of the people and protect Guanzhong?"
After saying that, Liu Bang ignored Xiao He and strode towards the palace. Seeing that Liu Bang was unwilling to execute Zi Ying, Xiao He had to give up his advice and hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion. In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao He found
I got the household registration atlas of the Qin State, ordered people to load it into the carriage, and kept it all together for future use.
Just after entering the main hall, Liu Bang walked up the jade steps and sat down in front of the imperial cabinet. The generals came to the center of the main hall one after another. As if it was child's play, they laughed and knelt down: "See you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Bang did not shy away from it. After all, he had already entered Guanzhong first. According to King Huai's decree, he should be called the King of Qin. He smiled and said: "Everyone, please get up."
Everyone stood up with a smile. At this time, Yusheng walked up the jade steps and said beside Liu Bang: "Since my lord has captured Xianyang today, why not keep Xiang Yu out, so as to protect Guanzhong to avoid being deceived by others?
"
After being reminded by Kun Sheng, Liu Bang suddenly realized, looked at Xia Houying, and ordered: "You can lead 10,000 troops to seize Hangu Pass, and guard this pass strictly, and do not allow any troops to enter the pass."
Xia Houying cupped his hands and sang the promise. At this time, Liu Bang got up and walked to the back hall.
In the side hall of the back hall, there was a sound of moaning. Liu Bang was surprised and walked over, only to find that in the side hall, ordinary beauties were hiding in a corner, looking at Liu Bang in horror. Liu Bang couldn't help but arouse tenderness, thinking about himself and Lu Pheasant.
Bi Niannian, I haven't gone to bed for a long time, and I no longer care about the generals, so I hurriedly walked into the harem. In order to survive, ordinary beauties followed Liu Bang into the main hall.
When the generals saw Liu Bang entering, they had no choice but to leave in search of happiness and money.
Fan Kuai was afraid that Liu Bang would be obsessed with wine and sex, so he hurried into the harem and shouted outside the door asking to see Liu Bang. Liu Bang ordered Fan Kuai to come in. When Fan Kuai saw all the beauties crowding around Liu Bang, he couldn't help but secretly hate that he was already drunk.
The Qin Dynasty tried to persuade Liu Bang by saying that the country was destroyed by lust, but Liu Bang was obsessed with wine and sex and couldn't listen. He was tired and took a night's rest, so he sneaked out of Fan Kuai. Fan Kuai sighed and left.
...
In an inconspicuous wine shop, Hua Yu called Gui Yinghao, handed him a broken bamboo slip, and told him: "Liu Bang has entered Xianyang. You must take this news and report it to the general without making any mistakes."
Gui Yinghao put the bamboo slip into his arms and said, "General, take care."
Gui Yinghao left. Looking at his leaving figure, Hua Yu sighed. Xianyang was lost and Qin was destroyed. I wonder if Ying Xuerou would be heartbroken at this time?
If I couldn't comfort her at this moment, I'm afraid this silly girl would not be able to think about it anymore. Thinking of this, Hua Yu called to follow him, gave a few instructions, and then hurriedly left the wine shop, mounted his horse, and left in a hurry.
