Chapter 493 I, Yingbu, are loyal to the Overlord, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other
"Overlord! Overlord! The last general is guilty! The last general is guilty!"
The Chu army was extremely exhausted, and even though it defeated Han Zhong's rabble, it did not receive much supplies.
The top priority at this time is to get through the vortex immediately.
Fusu's Hun horsemen were like maggots attached to their bones, clinging to the back and constantly shooting cold arrows, making the team always as tight as a bowstring and extremely exhausted.
If you chase them, they will run away.
If you retreat, they will pursue you.
Xiang Yu is going crazy from torture!
Only by crossing the vortex can the situation improve!
Xiang Yu didn't believe that Qin Feng, who had already sent an army of 400,000, would still have a trump card in his hand!
Just when the Chu army was in a panic and gathering ships everywhere.
Suddenly, a mournful roar came from above the swirling water.
Xiang Yu took a quick look and saw that it was Yingbu who was leading a large number of ships coming along the river.
I saw him rushing, beating his chest and stamping his feet, crying bitterly.
When the ship docked, Yingbu, a seven-foot strong man, fell to his knees with a plop like a bear, wailing incessantly:
"Overlord! It's too late in the future! I'm sorry for you!"
Xiang Yu's face turned cold when he saw Ying Bu, and he subconsciously held the sword at his waist.
He couldn't help gritting his teeth and said:
"Where did you go on horseback?! If it weren't for the lack of food and grass supply, why would this king be like this!"
Yingbu immediately burst into tears, and while crying, he slapped his buttocks hard:
"Overlord! The Qin army from Baiyue came out in full force and attacked Jiujiang County!
Finally, the generals had to fight to the death to stop them from attacking Shouchun.
But when he thinks that the overlord has no food and grass, the general will be destroyed from inside and outside.
So I squeezed out a few troops and came to escort them myself."
Xiang Yu's expression suddenly softened. He looked at the more than fifty large ships floating on the vortex and asked:
"Is this all food and grass?"
Yingbu beat his chest and stamped his feet and said:
"It's enough to support the army for thirty days. I wish I could send it as soon as possible!
The final general is willing to stay in the army and live and die with the overlord!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally there is food! The army's food and grass can only last three days.
If there is no gain again, I am afraid I will have no choice but to turn around and fight Qin Feng to the death!
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu's expression finally softened.
He bent down and personally helped Yingbu up.
Just as he was about to say a few words, Xiang Bo next to him suddenly said doubtfully:
"Huh? Where is Xiang Sheng?"
Suddenly, the whole atmosphere became awkward.
Zhong Limei still wanted to smooth things over. After all, Yingbu's own return had already explained a lot of problems.
But Yu Ziqi scratched his head and echoed in confusion:
"Yeah, why didn't Xiang Sheng follow me?"
As soon as these words came out, the people around him seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar.
Even Xiang Yu's movements seemed so unnatural.
This is a clan member of the Xiang family. You can't just say it's gone, right?
Although Zhong Limei wished he could kick Yu Ziqi out, at this time, he had to guard against Yingbu jumping over the wall.
It's just a pity that there are fifty grain boats floating on the eddy water!
But what no one expected was that Yingbu suddenly drew his sword.
"Be bold!"
"Dog thief!"
"Don't hurt Overlord!"
The surrounding generals were suddenly furious, and their eyes almost burst!
If this thief were allowed to sneak attack the Overlord, the Chu army would be completely doomed!
But Xiang Yu still looked at Yingbu calmly, without any reaction.
Because he knew that Yingbu was a smart man.
Of course a smart person knows how much he weighs!
If I wanted to, I could tear off Yingbu's head right now!
Sure enough, Yingbu actually put the sword on his neck and choked:
"The general did not protect him well, and Lord Xiang Sheng was lost in the chaos!
The last general deserves to die! Let the last general pay this despicable life to Lord Xiang Sheng!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he wiped his neck hard!
In the flash of lightning, Xiang Yu reached out and grasped his wrist.
Obviously, even Yingbu, who is as strong as a bear, is no match for Xiang Yu.
The right hand holding the sword was actually snatched back by Xiang Yu!
"Overlord...the last general...the last general is willing to die for you!"
After saying that, Yingbu burst into tears.
Xiang Yu was also moved to tears and kept patting his shoulders.
Seeing such a scene of deep brotherhood, the surrounding generals couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
Yingbu, who dared to come back in such a dangerous situation, is obviously everyone's good brother!
Soon, with the help of fifty large ships, the Chu army crossed the vortex.
Fan Zeng became more and more haggard. Even though the weather has turned warm now, he was covered in thick fur and was very afraid of the cold.
The sores on his back tortured him so much that he couldn't sleep at night, and his whole body was as thin as a skeleton.
But during the military meeting, he still insisted on being carried into the tent.
"We must cross the river to Shouchun! At this time, Shouchun is guarded by the great commander Zhou Yin. Once we reach this place, we will occupy Zhongli and Xuyi in the east.
The tiger occupies the fertile land east of the Yangtze River for 800 miles, and can regain its strength!
Use Huainan as the base, form a solid defense along the Huaihe River, use Pengcheng as the starting point, and then strive for supremacy!"
Fan Zeng's skinny fingers traced along the line of the Huai River.
When he roared and finished the last sentence, he was vomiting blood and fainted instantly.
Suddenly, everyone in the tent was in a hurry, and Fan Zeng was carried down for treatment.
Xiang Yu was relieved when he learned that Fan Zeng was not in danger.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the map quietly.
After a long time, he suddenly said:
"Go south along the eddy water."
"Ah? But it would be most convenient to cross the river to Shouchun, then retreat to Gaixia and pass through Wujiang River, right?"
Yingbu couldn't help but speak.
Xiang Yu nodded and sneered:
"Yes, everyone knows that this route is the most convenient.
So why doesn't Qin Feng know?
So, we just have to do the opposite!
Even if you have to leave for a little longer, it is better than falling into Qin Feng’s trap!”
Yingbu immediately slapped his thigh and praised:
"As expected of His Majesty the Overlord! This plan is brilliant!"
"Awesome, he is indeed the overlord of Western Chu who likes to touch women's butts!"
Qin Feng touched his smooth chin, even though people in this era had the habit of growing beards.
However, Qin Feng thought it was easy to get dirty due to drool left when sleeping, so he still shaved it clean.
In fact, he didn't feel much about Xiang Yu's smart-aleck behavior.
These are just normal human reactions.
Although he only knew the Chu army's movements after receiving a secret report.
However, Fan Zeng's words shocked him into a cold sweat!
Because his layout was exactly like the situation during the confrontation between the Southern and Northern Dynasties empires in later generations!
Even the weak Southern Song Dynasty relied on this line of defense and still blocked the Mongolian cavalry for decades!
If Xiang Yu really did it, I'm afraid how many people would die!
