Standing on the pontoon, looking back, Xiang Liang could see the tall body under the banner with the character "Xiang".
After understanding these days, I can only use four words to describe Xiang Ji’s status in the Six-Nation Alliance:
"The mainstay!"
Xiang Liang had anticipated this situation for a long time. Thirteen years ago, at the funeral of Xiang Yan held secretly by the family, all the children were either crying or dumbfounded. Only Xiang Yu wiped away his tears, opened his eyes wide, and looked at
Xiang Yanling made an oath before taking the throne:
"I will overthrow the Qin Kingdom, avenge my great father, and avenge the Chu Kingdom!"
The words he said cheered up the depressed Xiang family!
From that time on, Xiang Liang began to focus on cultivating Xiang Ji. This son was the leader of the third generation of the Xiang family and the hope of the future of Chu.
But Xiang Liang did not expect that Xiang Ji would become the successor of the Chu State and the Xiang family by fighting hard all the way during his exile in the frontier fortress...
But his inner disposition is still the same as before.
"Ji'er still hasn't changed."
Xiang Liang remembered that when Xiang Ji was ten years old, he had someone teach him Chu's "Chicken Ci Code" and Chu's History "杌", but Xiang Ji was extremely impatient and ran away those who were destroyed by Chu.
The old historian has nowhere to go.
Xiang Liang also invited famous swordsmen to teach Xiang Ji swordsmanship, but Xiang Ji used his own brute strength and used an unopened blunt sword to beat the swordsmen until they were running away with their heads in their hands, but failed.
When Xiang Liang asked him angrily what he wanted to learn, Xiang Ji said: "Books are enough to record names and surnames. Swordsmanship is enough to defeat one person, but learning is not enough. Learning to defeat ten thousand people is not enough."
So Xiang Liang began to teach him the art of war passed down by the Xiang family. Xiang Ji was overjoyed and knew a little about what it meant, but he refused to learn it.
At present, Xiang Ji is probably between ten thousand enemies and ten enemies.
There is an unstoppable force.
He also has the talent of a soldier who can lead the way among thousands of armies.
Therefore, Xiang Ji's way of using troops is somewhere between a fierce general and a commander-in-chief.
This is the most terrible thing.
Xiang Liang was worried and murmured: "But a real military strategist should be like Wang Jian, who can command freely in a safe place. How can he put himself in danger and personally cut off the rear?"
…
"Please go to Zhuguo to cross the river!"
On the west bank of Pujin, the soldiers of the Chu army were shouting the same thing: "We will cut off the rear! Please go up to Zhuguo and quickly join the river."
Xiang Ji looked back at the Chu troops who were still crowded on the pontoon, but smiled and said: "Ji and tens of thousands of Chu people are crossing the river to the west, so I have to take you back. Otherwise, I won't be able to see the Huainan elders. How can I get there first?"
The reason for withdrawing?”
As he said that, he rode his horse and took another step forward.
A young man in sheep fur next to him also followed suit, but it was Xiang Zhuang who had suffered so much cold in the north of Saibei with Xiang Liang.
Xiang Ji caught a glimpse of this cousin who had been abused by Qin officials in his own name. He had lived in Saibei for many years and had developed good riding skills, but now, the hand holding the rein was trembling slightly. This was Xiang Zhuang's first
participated in the battle.
"Afraid? You can retreat first."
Xiang Ji couldn't take his eyes off, staring at the high and broad river bank in the distance. The Qin people there were gathering like crows, more and more.
Xiang Zhuang's tongue was cut by a Qin official and he couldn't speak. He could only make babbling sounds. Now he was questioned by Xiang Ji. He blushed and couldn't express his thoughts even though he was dancing around. So he hit his chest hard with one hand and the other hand.
Then he drew his sword, pointed at the Qin flag in the distance, and slashed it down hard!
"Are you going to cut the flag for me later to prove your bravery?"
"If you have courage, you are a Xiang son."
Xiang Ji smiled and looked at Xiang Zhuang's sword with a somewhat damaged edge. He called his personal guards and handed a sword to Xiang Zhuang.
The scabbard is not very eye-catching, but when Xiang Zhuang pulled out the hilt, he saw that the style of the sword was simple, like a Wuyue blade, but it was different from ordinary ancient swords. It was made of iron: starting from the wen and ending at the spine, like
Pearls are inseparable, and writings are like flowing water...
He couldn't put it down for a while.
"The name of the sword is 'Gongbu'."
Xiang Ji said: "It is said that this sword was made by Ou Yezi and Qian general for the King of Chu. They dug Cishan Mountain, drained its stream, and took Tieying to make three iron swords. Also cast together were a 'Long Yuan' sword and a 'Long Yuan' sword.
'Tai'a'. Long Yuan's whereabouts are unknown, Tai'a was captured by the Qin people, and it is the Emperor's Sword worn by Qin Shihuang."
"Coming west this time, I originally wanted to use this sword to cut off Qin's Tai'a and destroy Qin's country, but it's a pity..."
It's a pity that Heifu occupied Xianyang first, and there was a fire in the rear of his house. Xiang Ji was only three hundred miles away from Qin Shihuang's Lishan Mausoleum. In his sleep, he even dreamed that he burned Xianyang and the sinful palace. The fire continued for three days.
But after waking up, he could only give up halfway!
Xiang Zhuang heard that this sword was so special, so he repeatedly gestured and declined.
"Take it!"
Xiang Ji put the sword into its sheath and threw it into Xiang Zhuang's arms.
"I am good at wielding a halberd. The enemy cannot get close to me, and short-hand soldiers are of no use. You can bear this sword for me and follow me for a while."
He smiled at Xiang Zhuang and said:
"I'll leave my back to you!"
【 .】 Xiang Zhuang was stunned for a moment, put his sword behind his back, and knocked on his chest with his hand, his eyes determined.
He missed many battles during the rise of the Xiang family. Fortunately, he still had the opportunity to fight with his cousin.
At this time, Master Qin on the river bank in the distance moved.
With excited shouts, a group of riding figures jumped out on the yellow river bank. They were a group of knights holding spears, wearing light armor, and wearing small fur hats. They drove down the slope, with their backs
They also followed countless riding shadows and attacked the Chu army together with the shaking of the earth!
At the same time, the Qin people's chariots, infantry, and even barefooted Yue soldiers rushed down the high slope of the river bank one after another, charging toward Jinkou from the left, right, and front three, faster and faster.
quick!
The Qin army's vanguard who had just arrived numbered nearly ten thousand, but on the Chu army's side, they were still guarding the west bank to cut off the latter, with only three thousand!
Even if the Qin people's intentions were discovered, part of the Chu army waiting in front of the pontoon bridge was quickly mobilized, and some ships began to move towards the west bank, but the number of the two formations combined was only 5,000.
Xiang Ji, however, was accustomed to this kind of battle of using less to fight more, and he still talked and laughed calmly:
"I don't know how many gold houses the people of Qin will put as a reward for my head."
"But the title of Xiang Ji needs to be taken with one's life!"
The three thousand Chu troops who followed Xiang Ji to fight in the Central Plains, including chariots and cavalry as well as infantry armed with long spears, did not hesitate or retreat at this moment, but stood firmly on the soft river bank!
After observing the surrounding terrain for a long time, Xiang Ji already knew how to fight this battle.
"Follow the enemy and defeat the enemy!"
As he waved his halberd, the flag behind him waved.
Xiang Ji took the lead and galloped out. Xiang Zhuang carried the Gongbu sword on his back. He had to use his superb riding skills to stare at his cousin's back in order to catch up with him.
The Chu army's infantry remained in place and formed a strong formation, but their chariots and cavalry actually moved!
Thousands of Chu army chariots and cavalry also rushed out like countless arrows. They did not fight the Qin people directly, but headed towards the wet area on the left side of the river bank!
…
Just as Xiang Ji expected, under the order of Heifu "Whoever kills Xiang Ji will buy a thousand pieces of gold and ten thousand households in the city", the Qin people's purpose in fighting was not only to protect their homeland and country, but also to expel bandits.
Even with heavy rewards, everyone becomes a brave man!
When rushing down the river bank on the slope, Luo Jia was no longer at the front. All he could see was the surging horse's buttocks and the yellow mud brought up by his four hooves. Fortunately, the riders in the front row, Yang Xi and others, were all effective.
He controlled the team, and the array was not too chaotic due to crowding.
But confusion appeared when the eye-catching red flag of the Chu army passed by in the distance.
"Xiang Ji wants to escape!"
There was a sound coming from the front. Following the direction of the horse's head, Luo Jia could see that a mile away, the strong summer wind was blowing the military flag, with only one big character "xiang" written on it.
It seemed that Xiang Ji's military flag and more than a thousand men had left their position and moved to another pontoon bridge on the left, as if they wanted to get away from the battlefield. This caused the Qin army's chariots and cavalry to split into two after hesitating for a moment.
The forward elements were mixed and the disadvantage of no unified command emerged.
Li Bi was eager to achieve success, so he let Yang Xi and others take the lead. He followed Xiang Ji's flag with the main force of chariots and cavalry, and moved to the left front of the river bank.
Wuyu, the commander of the Yue School, led the soldiers on their bare feet, howling and following closely behind him!
Only Yuan Yong was cautious and followed Luo Jia's footsteps.
Even from a distance, Luo Jia could see the deep hoof prints left by the horses under those pursuers on the moist river bank!
He felt in danger.
"Stop!"
In Xiajuze, the advance and retreat are gradually lost. This is a dangerous place for cavalry. Although Luo Jia was directly promoted from cavalry general to cavalry commander, he still understood this common sense.
However, some people are guided by the passion of blood and blood when facing battle, and completely forget what they have learned in the past.
Luo Jia was shouting, raising his arms and shouting loudly, asking people to wave flags and beat golden bells, trying to stop this stupid behavior.
"do not go!"
"That's bait!"
"It's a trap!"
But the cry of one person is no match for the cry of hundreds of horses.
The golden bell in the rear didn't have time to ring. The soldiers only had Xiang Yu's flag and head in their eyes. The crowd was red-eyed with hatred and heavy rewards. Led by Yang Xi, from the military officials to the cavalry, there was no hesitation at all, and they went to court.
The banner with the word "Xiang" rushed straight towards it!
If you kill Xiang Ji, you can win wealth and rank!
Killing Xiang Yu will end this war!
But the next moment, the thousands of Chu infantry who stayed at Jinkou moved. They all moved to the left, like a guillotine, cutting the Qin army's chariots and cavalry that rushed in to pursue Xiang Ji's flag in two!
A fierce battle broke out on the muddy river bank. The Qin army's chariots and cavalry, which had difficulty exerting their advantage on the wet and soft soil, fought with the Chu soldiers who dismounted and fought on foot. The scene was once very chaotic.
The incident happened within a moment. Luo Jia looked at this scene with some confusion: "I used my body as a bait to involve our army. Is this person really the leader of the six-nation coalition? How can we start a war with a leader?"
, Sima is almost the same, no one wants his life..."
But it is extremely useful, reversing the disadvantage of having few people and low power in one fell swoop.
Seeing that Li Bi, Yang Xi and the others were in a bitter battle, what should we do next? Luo Jia became a captain for the first time and was a little distracted.
Fortunately, Yuan Yong from Anlu behind him had been with Marquis Wu Zhong for a long time, and was immersed in his military tactics. He made the most correct choice in an instant.
"Keep moving forward!"
Yuan Yong ordered everyone to abandon their carriages and horses, use their spears to clear the way, and advance on foot, while their hands touched the flints and smoke arrows around their waists.
"Burn the pontoon bridge! Trap Xiang Ji on the west bank!"
