Chapter 88: The Praying Mantis Catch the Cicada and the Oriole is Behind! The Confused Battle Situation
Hei Niu looked at the Chu army rushing forward, shouted loudly, and threw the city gate bolt forward, crushing a large number of people to death.
And he staggered back, fell to the ground, and faced the sky, breathing heavily.
Zhong Lizhen's face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping with water. He said coldly:
"I admire your courage very much, but you must die today."
Hei Niu made a circle with his left hand, raised his middle finger with his right hand, and said with a grin:
"Where is your home? Say hello to your parents for me."
Zhong Lizhen was immediately furious. He picked up his spear and stabbed the black cow!
Just when the black cow was lying on the ground, eyes closed, motionless and resigned to his fate, suddenly there was a whistling sound in his ears!
The strong wind made his face hurt! And there was a scream from the front!
The black cow opened his eyes and saw arrows raining down like rain!
Zhong Lizhen activated his skill again, and the lazy donkey rolled and hid behind the city gate.
But the rest of the Chu army was in dire straits, being shot as rabbits!
Outside Xinzheng City, Qin Feng galloped over again with two thousand cavalry. With a sudden drift, the horses and men stood up.
He grabbed the black bull's feet, lifted it up directly, lay down on the horse, turned around and ran away.
"I just slept for a while, you just want to be lazy?!"
Qin Feng gritted his teeth, the smell of blood still lingering in his mouth.
Zhongli Mei is indeed one of the best generals under Xiang Yu! That arrow almost penetrated Qin Feng's armor! It caused severe pain in his chest!
Black Bull could no longer care about anything at this time, struggling hard and shouting:
"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts! My cock is bent! Ouch!"
In the spirit of not being a sister to Zhao Gao, Hei Niu relied on great perseverance to support the horse with both hands and sit up forcefully.
He looked at Qin Feng whose teeth were stained red and couldn't help but said in surprise:
"Boss, you're not dead!"
Qin Feng's face darkened, and he suddenly pinched the horse's belly, causing the horse to jump immediately.
The saddleless black bull jolted suddenly and bent over in pain.
Watching from the side, Tie Zhu took a breath of cold air and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Boss, you can't envy, envy or retaliate against others just because they are smart."
Qin Feng was too lazy to argue with these two thugs and immediately shouted:
"Send the order! Gather the skirmishers! Defend Yelangyu! Defend the retreat route for the army!"
"promise!"
At the same time, in the sleeping city, the Chu army camped.
Jing Ju cursed and rushed into the camp, only to find that something was wrong!
The camp of 400,000 troops is so empty? I haven’t heard of any troop mobilization?
When he arrived at Xiang Yan's handsome tent, he suddenly found that sitting high above him was a young man who looked somewhat similar to Xiang Yan!
Jing Ju's eyes suddenly widened and he said in disbelief:
"Xiang Liang! What are you doing?! Where is Shangzhuguo?"
Xiang Liang smiled lightly and said:
"General Jingju, don't panic, my father has led the army to Yanying to intercept Li Xin!"
Jing Ju suddenly took a breath:
"Xiang Yan... Shangzhu Kingdom has actually been counted?"
"That's right, my father told me before he left that General Jing Ju would lead the Jing family's 30,000 troops to Chen Ying!
Guard the Yelang Valley with Changping Jun's rebel army and completely cut off the Qin army's return path!
My father will lead the main force of the Chu army and drive Li Xin to the land of Chen Ying. By then, there will be the burial place of 200,000 Qin troops!
Encircled from two sides, the Qin army will definitely be wiped out!"
Jing Ju's face suddenly darkened, but he still accepted the promise and led Jing's 30,000 troops to rush to Chen Ying.
After leaving the camp, he started to curse.
"Who do you think you are, Xiang Yan! How dare you ask Jing to do such dirty and tiring work?!"
"Annihilate the Qin army? Then I will suffer heavy losses if I take the retreat!"
"Everyone of the Qin army is acting like a lunatic! When the time comes, the way back will be blocked, in order to break out, why don't you tear me alive!"
But there was no other way. King Chu gave Xiang Yan his absolute trust.
During the war, Xiang Yan had absolute military power!
How to implement it is another matter.
...
Yan Ying.
Li Xin wiped out the defenders with lightning speed!
Seeing Shouchun approaching, he couldn't help but look enthusiastic!
After the 10,000 light cavalry who swept away Pingyu came to join him, his troops already numbered 80,000!
Eighty thousand light cavalry raided Shouchun, the capital of Chu State! Beheading the King of Chu and carrying the cud is just around the corner!
Just when Li Xin was about to accomplish this unparalleled feat, a Qingqi suddenly came in a panic.
"General! What's wrong! Chen Ying rebelled! Lord Changping rebelled!"
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, lifted up the messenger's neck, gritted his teeth and asked:
"What did you say?! Mr. Changping rebelled against Chen Ying?!"
The messenger curled his lips and shed tears;
"Rebellion! General Qin asked his subordinates to tell General Li, and he had to kill three horses before he arrived."
Li Xin felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He felt dizzy in his mind and almost fainted on the spot.
He forcibly held the war horse and said in a trembling voice:
"Brother...brother, is he okay..."
The messenger wiped away his tears and gritted his teeth and said:
"General Qin said that he will definitely defend Yelangyu and ensure the army's westward retreat route! Please don't panic and retreat slowly!
The Chu army did not dare to fight us head-on. What they wanted to do was to encircle Chen Ying!
So you must calm down! The life and death of the two hundred thousand Guanzhong disciples are in your hands!
General Qin will definitely defend Yelangyu and wait to join you!"
Li Xin took a long breath and forced himself to calm down.
In the original history, Li Xin had no one to guard his retreat. When he received the news of Chen Ying's rebellion, he retreated in panic.
As a result, Xiang Yan followed and attacked him. He stayed there for three days and three nights, defeated Li Xin, killed seven captains, and the Chu army won a great victory!
But it was different now. Li Xin quickly regained his mind as a commander. He glanced at Shouchun from a distance, then looked at his 80,000 mysterious light cavalry like dark clouds covering the sun, and said in a deep voice:
"All officers and men, retreat slowly! Retreat to Chengfu! No! You cannot retreat to Chengfu!
If the Chu army knew that Lord Changping would rebel, then Xiang Yan would definitely ambush me!
I can lead a light cavalry charge forward, and he can also ambush me with light cavalry on the way back!
Give me my order! Go around the city father! Turn from the south to the north and retreat towards Chen Ying!"
"promise!"
At the same time, in the mountain depression outside Chengfu City, two hundred thousand Chu troops were quietly ambushing here.
Xiang Yan, with his fluttering white beard, waited quietly. He had been waiting for this moment for too long.
He knew that if 200,000 Qin troops were not wiped out in this battle, Qin's national power would be consumed as much as possible.
Then it won't be long before the violent Qin comes back! Chu will still perish!
But at this moment, a messenger came galloping over, got off his horse, and reported:
"General! Li Xin bypassed the city father from the south and retreated to the north!"
Xiang Yan's figure suddenly shook. He held down the long sword at his waist and shouted in a deep voice:
"No problem! Follow and pursue! Drive the main force of the Qin army to Chen Ying's encirclement! Annihilate them all!"
"promise!"
As the night grew darker, Xiang Yan looked at the pitch-black night sky without stars, and suddenly felt an ominous premonition in her heart.
"Something's wrong! Why...why are there such variables? Which link is the problem?!"
"God Taiyi! Why don't you protect Da Chu? Why!"
((t_t) Why I couldn’t even sleep and came out with this chapter? It’s because I saw a friend saying he wanted to beat me to death with a city gate bolt... It’s so scary... Also
Some people say, "My son is speechless, my strength is chaotic, my spirit is confused." Some people ask me where my home is, and say, "I will die if I ask in the morning or evening." It's terrible...)
