On the battlefield, Li Ji rode his horse out and headed straight for the open space between the two armies. The spear in his hand flew left and right, very powerful. On the opposite side, in the Qin army's formation, a young general wearing black leather armor also
He came riding a horse with a long sword in his hand and looked majestic. Soon, the two horses crossed each other, their weapons collided, and the battle was fierce.
That brave Qin general was an extremely brave young general under Dong Yi. His name was Zhao Wei. He was tall and strong. He followed Dong Yi and fought countless battles. Today, when he met Li Ji, he was having a hard time. At this time, Li Ji
His spear was hung upside down on his back, he turned his horse's head and galloped into the distance.
This was a tactic to lure the enemy, but Zhao Wei didn't seem to realize the danger was coming. He rode his horse in hot pursuit. The copper sword in his hand was more than four feet long. It was a typical long sword of the Qin army. In Zhao Wei's hand, it was very powerful, but
Li Ji did not gain the upper hand, but reined in his horse. Such an obvious loophole was discovered by Dong Yi, who was watching the battle not far away. He couldn't help shouting: "Be careful of the enemy general's sneak attack!"
But Dong Yi's shout was too late. Just when Zhao Wei was about to catch up with Li Ji and slash with his sword, Li Ji suddenly stopped his horse, and the spear on his back suddenly swept across, hitting Zhao Wei accurately.
This blow to the chest was very powerful. With Zhao Wei's horse running forward, the force increased several times. With just one spear, Zhao Wei was tied down from his horse.
Zhao Wei was lying on the ground, clutching his chest, with blood on the corners of his mouth. He straightened up and tried to pick up the long sword on the ground, but Li Ji came on horseback, grabbed him with his hands, and ran straight into the Chu army's formation.
And go.
Not far away, Dong Yi was furious. He waved his sword and roared: "Kill him!"
The Qin army was like a landslide and a tsunami, killing the Chu army. Here, Xiang Zhuang saw that Dong Yi was in chaos because he lost a general. He couldn't help but sneer, how can such an impatient man be the commander-in-chief of the three armies?
Just when Xiang Zhuang sneered, the vanguard of the Qin army had already rushed five hundred steps away. Chariots rushed into the formation first, roaring towards them. On the side, Lu Chen looked slightly worried and whispered: "Xiang
General Zhuang, let’s rush forward too!”
Xiang Zhuang ignored Lu Chen, but stared at the Qin army with cold eyes. At this time, the Qin army's chariots and cavalry were getting closer and closer, and they were within 200 steps. Lu Chen could no longer suppress his anxiety.
In the mood, he wanted to order his army to fight, but Xiang Zhuang took out his long sword before him, waved it forward, and ordered: "shoot arrows!"
The messenger behind Xiang Zhuang immediately waved the green flag. When the green flag wavered, thousands of feather arrows roared out from behind the giant shield. The compound bow with absolute advantage exerted its effect on the battlefield. The arrows equipped with iron arrows
The feather arrows went straight towards the Qin army, like dense ice rain, hitting the first batch of Qin troops hard.
Screams continued one after another. The effective range of the Qin army's crossbow formation was about 150 steps. At this time, they were charging into the formation. Before the Qin army's crossbow formation had time to take effect, the Chu army's bows and arrows had already been fired. This made the Qin army, which had always relied on long spears and halberds, feel a little agitated.
Surprised, the war horses neighed, and cavalrymen kept falling from their horses.
The chariot soldiers suffered the most casualties. Many chariots tightened their reins out of fear, causing the cavalry behind them to stop and bump into the chariots. The spearmen, spearmen and soldiers who followed were blocked one after another, and rounds of feather arrows were fired.
Come, form the most effective lethality.
But the Qin army was a battle-experienced force after all. After the crossbow formation was formed, they quickly counterattacked. Many soldiers in the Chu army fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. Seeing that the time was ripe, Xiang Zhuang suddenly swung his sword and pointed forward.
He roared angrily: "Follow me and kill him!"
The red flag suddenly fluttered, and there was a roar in the Chu army formation, which swarmed towards the Qin army. The spearmen and cavalry who were standing at the front were the first to move out, and with dense arrows, they collided with the Qin army.
The armies fought together.
Although the Chu army could not all be equipped with iron weapons, basically more than half of Xiangzhuang's troops were equipped with sophisticated equipment. At this moment, the Chu army was like a sharp sword, charging rampantly, splitting the Qin army in half, and the battlefield was extremely chaotic.
This kind of fighting lasted for a full day. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the worst ones were Zhang Chujun and Qin Jun. More than half of their two soldiers and horses were lost. Xiangzhuang's Chu army also suffered many casualties in this battle.
At this time, the sun was setting. After several rounds of fierce attacks, the Qin army was finally defeated and withdrew all the way to the north.
Dong Yi was also trapped three times. If there were not several tiger generals around him who were determined to kill him, Dong Yi would not have been able to escape his bad luck in this battle.
At this time, Dong Yi did not dare to return to Chen County, so he hurriedly took a detour from the west and went straight to the north to escape.
After defeating the Qin army, the Chu army did not stop at all. Only a few soldiers and horses stayed on the battlefield to clean up. The rest of the soldiers and horses rushed all the way to Chen County to kill. After learning that Dong Yi had retreated, the defenders on the city did not care about the people in the city.
The wounded soldiers fled Chen County one after another. The Chu army recaptured Chen County without using weapons.
At this time, red Chu flags were planted on the city walls, and armies marched towards the city in an orderly manner. Groups of Chu troops also controlled the county government in the shortest possible time, and posted lists to pacify the people. Not long after, Xiang
Under the escort of his personal guards, Zhuang arrived at Chen County. The people ate pots of wine to welcome the troops who had just driven away the Qin army.
Three days later, three thousand Chu troops were ordered to destroy the former Zhangchu Palace and destroy all royal buildings and objects in Chen County.
On the fifth day, Lu Chen held a banquet in his new residence to entertain Xiang Zhuang and thank him for sending troops to help recapture Chen County. At this time, the government office was extremely busy, and groups of soldiers brought wine and food into the living room.
In the hall, Xiang Zhuang sat high up, followed by Kong Ji and Lu Chen. Below, all the generals took their seats one by one. Among the generals, there was a female general who was extremely unhappy at this time. She was Wu Fang. She was originally
She wanted to sit next to Xiang Zhuang, but was rejected by Xiang Zhuang, which made her lose face.
At this time, the food and wine were ready. Lu Chen cupped his hands and laughed and said: "The battle in Chen County showed me the bravery and skill of the Chu army. I am truly worthy of being the queen of the generals. This time, I, Lu Chen, am convinced and willing to include Chen County."
Under the rule of the Chu army."
Speaking of this, Lu Chen raised his wine glass and said: "However, I want to ask for help on behalf of the people of Chen County. I hope General Xiang Zhuang can be the leader of Chen County. I wonder what General Xiang Zhuang wants?"
Lu Chen's flattery was not approved by Xiang Zhuang. At this time, Xiang Zhuang also raised his wine glass, stared at Lu Chen, and smiled back: "I can't stay in Chen County for a long time. The management of Chen County still needs Lu Chen."
General, please do your best. In addition, I have a piece of advice that I hope General Lu will remember."
Lu Chen quickly put down his wine glass and said sincerely: "I am willing to listen to my teachings."
"Don't try to claim the title of king. The exaggeration in front of you is just a stepping stone to hell. Only by being down-to-earth can you climb higher step by step." After saying this, Xiang Zhuang drank the wine in his glass. Lu Chen thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "General Xiang Zhuang's words,
I remember it."
During this meal, everyone drank happily. Although Xiang Zhuang did not promise Lu Chen anything, in essence, Lu Chen had surrendered to the Chu army. Moreover, the palace in Chen County had been destroyed, and Lu Chen's elite troops
After a battle with the Qin army, with all the casualties and casualties, in Xiang Zhuang's eyes, Lu Chen could no longer make any big splash.
Three days later, Xiang Zhuang gathered the Chu army. At this time, Xiang Zhuang had only more than 27,000 soldiers and horses. Among them, more than 1,000 people were wounded and traveled far away. Shortly after leaving Chen County, Xiang Zhuang got
According to the report from the Yueyang intelligence network, after Song Liu surrendered to the Qin army, he was escorted to Xianyang and handed over to the second emperor for disposal. However, Hu Hai was sentenced to death for rebelling against Qin because of Song Liu. The method was extremely cruel and shocked the government and the public.
Ten days later, Xiangzhuang's army came to Ruyin, crossed the river here, and marched towards Sishui County.
...
After the Chu army decided to go north, they divided into two routes. One route went from Lushan County to Chen County, and then diverted from Chen County to Sishui County. On the other hand, the main force of the Chu army, with Xiang Yu as the vanguard, came from Dantu River Port.
Take a boat and go north to Guangling.
After Xiang Yu captured Guangling, he continued northward without stopping. However, after Xiang Liang led the main force across the river, he stationed in Guangling for half a month, reorganizing his troops and waiting for supplies. When the supplies were sufficient, he led his troops to continue heading north to Surabaya.
Go to the county line.
When they were near Dongyang County, a cavalry galloped over, approached Xiang Liang, cupped his hands and said: "General, General Xiang Yu has taken control of Xutai County. Chen Ying, the magistrate of Xutai County, and the governor of Dongyang County
General Pu Shan has surrendered, and he has gathered about 30,000 young men to march towards Xu County. I have been specially ordered to report to the general."
After hearing the report, Xiang Liang couldn't help but raise his head and laugh. He turned around to look at Xiang Bo and laughed and said, "Yu'er is really a tiger general."
In the early morning, a drum sounded from the tower in Xu County, and the east gate slowly opened. This place is located on a plain, with endless wilderness everywhere, on a wide galloping road. It is close to Hongze Lake, but in this era, Hongze Lake was still
It was not formed, it was just a branch of the Huaihe River. At this time, Xiang Liang's 30,000 main force was slowly moving forward. Soon, the city head of Xu County appeared in front of everyone.
In front of the city tower, thousands of soldiers were lined up on both sides. Several people on horseback waited anxiously until they saw the Chu army flag faintly appearing in the distance. A young general at the head laughed excitedly and said: "They are coming."
This person is Xiang Yu. Beside him are Pu Shan and Chen Ying. They are also very excited. They heard that Jiangdong Xiang Liang is a very heroic figure. The Chu army at this time is not like it was dormant in obscurity a few years ago.
In Jiangdong, the prestige of the Chu army was already known to everyone in Shandong.
Amidst the chaotic sound of horse hoofs, everyone found Xiang Liang who was marching in the team. Xiang Yu took the lead and came to the front of the team, jumped off the horse, knelt on one knee in front of Xiang Liang, and said excitedly: "My nephew has seen my uncle."
."
After not seeing each other for a long time, Xiang Liang also missed Xiang Yu very much. Although Xiang Liang felt his nose was sore, he still held back his tears and stopped them. He reined in his horse. Xiang Liang dismounted and patted Xiang Yu's shoulder to express comfort. At this time, Chen
Ying and Pu Shan also came close.
Chen Ying held up a bamboo slip with both hands and said loudly: "The lower official Chen Ying, once served as the magistrate of Xutai County, is now willing to surrender to the Chu army. This is my military status. Please accept it from General Xiang Liang."
Xiang Liang took the military certificate, looked at it briefly, and said with a smile: "I accept the military certificate and incorporate them all into the Chu army's establishment, but... you can continue to command this army."
Chen Ying was so excited that he raised his hands and sang a promise. At this time, Pu Shan also stepped forward, raised his hands and said: "The last general Pu Shan was once the guard general of Dongyang County. Now he has come to surrender. Please accept it from General Xiang Liang."
"Pu Shan?" Xiang Liang muttered. This person was highly appreciated by Xiang Yu and praised him for his unparalleled bravery. Xiang Liang looked at Pu Shan, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "On behalf of the Chu army, I accept your surrender. ."
Everyone was overjoyed and stood up one after another. At this time, a cavalry galloped over and said with cupped hands: "General, there is a man who calls himself Dong Jie. He is the envoy of the Eastern Chu Army and wants to see the general."
"Where is he?" Xiang Liang frowned and asked in surprise.
"The general is waiting for you in Xu County." The cavalryman replied with his hand over his hand. Xiang Liang nodded, waved his hand and ordered: "Go and tell him that I will be there soon. Let him wait there for a while."
The cavalry made a promise and left. At this time, Xiang Bo was surprised and said: "The envoy from the Eastern Chu Kingdom wants to persuade the second brother to join them?"
"It's very possible, but they underestimated me too much. Mi Jingju is from a branch of the Chu Kingdom. Am I willing to surrender to his subordinates?" Xiang Liang couldn't help but sneer, with contempt in his laughter. After pondering for a moment, Xiang Liang decided, It is better to meet Dong Gao first. Thinking of this, Xiang Liang got on his horse, looked at everyone, and ordered: "Move towards Xu County."
