The breeze is slightly cool, the diffuse smoke dissipates, and the earth becomes clear and bright.
Under Nanyang City.
Everywhere you look, there is devastation.
The rich smell of blood moved with the wind, irritating everyone's nostrils. Corpses piled up on the ground, and blood flowed.
The aura of death shrouded the entire city. At this time, the thunderous clashing sounds of soldiers had slowly disappeared. Only the smoke that was not rising from the ground was still spreading.
Under the east gate of Nanyang City.
The fierce battle between Emperor Chu and Overlord had already decided the winner. The two fought hard for two hours, and their figures stood in front of their respective camps.
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Emperor Chu's mouth, his face was as pale as paper, and the purple-gold light on his figure became lingering, obviously looking like he had been severely injured.
Generals Li Mi and Yang Xuangan stepped forward quickly. Hundreds of god-slaying warriors stood in front of Emperor Chu, and worried voices could be heard.
"His Majesty..........."
"No problem, generals, don't panic, order the three armies to withdraw immediately!"
Before Li Mi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Chu. Although he was seriously injured, he still listened to the six directions and looked in all directions. When the sound of killing cries disappeared, he knew that the battle under Nanyang City had ended.
If victory or defeat is determined by one point, there is no point in continuing to fight, it will only increase casualties.
Hear the sound.
Li Mi ordered the three armies to retreat. The four generals Yu Ziqi, Ying Bu, Zhong Lihuan, and Xiang Zhuang were standing beside Xiang Yu in front of King Xiang's army. Seeing that Emperor Chu wanted to withdraw, the four generals turned around and prepared to mount their horses to pursue.
"No!"
"Let them go!"
Xiang Yu suddenly spoke, and the generals were astonished. The Chu Emperor was seriously injured and at the end of his war effort. The coalition forces were several times larger than the Chu army. Why should they be allowed to withdraw?
The generals had doubts, but the military orders were like mountains, and they had no choice but to obey.
The Chu army retreated towards the Daqing Mountain in a mighty manner, kicking up thousands of feet of smoke and dust. Xiang Yu watched the Chu army disappear at the end of the wilderness. With a pop, a column of blood spurted out from his mouth, and he almost fell to the ground.
In Xiangzhuang, Yu Ziqi hurried forward to help him and ordered: "Retreat, the army will withdraw to the camp immediately!"
"Xiangzhuang, immediately send people to Jingyang City and inform King Tiansha to intercept and kill Emperor Chu!"
"Yingbu, with the order, the coalition forces are going to assemble and approach Jingyang City!"
Xiang Yu raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and helped Yu Ziqi stand up, his eyes shining with sharp light.
.............
At dusk, the setting sun sets in the west, shrouding the sky above Daqing Mountain like a blazing flame.
at this time.
Inside the Chu camp.
When the generals returned, they were all covered in blood, but they gathered outside the tent with anxious expressions on their faces.
"I don't know how injured your majesty is. It's such a disastrous defeat in this battle. It's really a big crime!"
Wei Qing suddenly spoke, his expression gloomy, his eyes flashing with anger. Upon hearing this, all the generals fell silent and fell into self-blame.
Returning to Daqingshan in the afternoon, Emperor Chu entered the tent, but there was no news until now. The generals were worried about Emperor Chu's dragon body. Xiao Guizi asked them to go down to rest many times, but no one left.
A little while.
Xiao Guizi appeared again and announced that the generals would enter the tent. Everyone was overjoyed and strode inside.
When the generals entered the tent, Emperor Chu was leaning on the wooden couch in front of him. His face was still pale, but his breath was calm.
Seeing that the generals had not taken off their military uniforms, knowing that they had been waiting outside the tent and fighting fiercely all night long, how could the generals not be tired? Emperor Chu's weak voice sounded.
"Generals, there is no need to be polite, please take your seats quickly!"
When the generals sat down, Emperor Chu raised his head to signal. Xiao Guizi held a wooden tray and placed hundreds of jade vases one by one on the wooden table in front of the generals.
"All the soldiers have worked hard, but this battle is defeated. It is not your fault!"
"I will never miss my past position again. If I lose, I will lose!"
"Failure is the mother of success. It is through this battle that we can see the shortcomings of Wu Chu's military strength."
"These elixirs are given by me to heal your injuries. The injuries in my body will not be healed for a while. The next battle against the coalition forces will require more efforts from you generals."
"Your Majesty, this defeat is the fault of the last general. I hope your Majesty will punish you!"
Bai Qi knelt down and saluted, nodded and said, Emperor Chu did not speak angrily, but instead smiled: "Bai Qi, you don't need to blame yourself. Breaking out from the west city gate is not your fault."
"Xiang Yu has already made arrangements. If the army had not broken out from the west gate, I and the other generals would not have been able to show up here."
"Failed!"
"Know your shame and then be brave, avenge your previous shame, and fight in the next battle to compete with each other!"
"Tell me about the situation of this battle and how many troops our army currently has."
"Ahem~"
Emperor Chu coughed twice, his eyes rested on Bai Qi, and he only heard him say: "Your Majesty, the Behemoth Army and the Shenwu Army have been wiped out. The whereabouts of King Behemoth and General Feihu are unknown."
"Every other unit has suffered casualties. Our army currently has less than 300,000 troops. We lost 200,000 troops in this battle, and killed at least 600,000 coalition troops."
"Kill 600,000 enemies?"
"Although defeated, it is still glorious!"
"Xiao Guizi, send an order to Wang Yanzhang's command, asking him to abandon Hengyang City and come to Jingyang City to join our army!"
"Wei Qing, send scouts to pay close attention to the movements of the coalition forces. Bai Qi, Ran Min, Huo Qubing, and Zi Langtian assemble the army and set off immediately to return to Jingyang City!"
The generals received orders not to dare to stay any longer and disturb the Chu Emperor's cultivation, so they pushed out of their tents one after another. For a while, the Chu camp at the foot of Daqing Mountain fell into a hectic state. The army moved and evacuated, and everything had to be taken away, including food, grass and baggage. It was a busy time.
at this time.
Under Nanyang City, in the coalition camp, Xiang Yu took off his military uniform, put on a black robe, and sat in the tent.
At the bottom, hundreds of coalition generals sat in two rows, their eyes focused on Xiang Yu.
"I already know the situation of this battle. We lost 600,000 troops, but only killed 200,000 Chu troops and captured 5,000 people. This is enough to show the bravery of the Chu army."
"However, the Chu army was full of tricks and equipment, and many generals from other countries were attacked by surprise. It is already very good to achieve such a record."
"The most important thing is to capture the Chu army's King Bimeng and General Feihu alive. They are Chu Emperor's right-hand men. At present, Chu Emperor has been seriously injured by my commander, so there is no need to worry. With these two in hand, I am not afraid that the Chu army will not surrender obediently."
city!"
"The three generals King Tuyuhun, Liu Qing, and Wang Wu were successful in capturing King Bimeng and General Feihu. On the day they defeated Chu, the three generals each obtained two cities, ten thousand taels of gold, and a hundred beauties."
"Xiang Zhuang, bring up the items that I have prepared for the three generals!"
Xiang Yu spoke, his eyes like stars, deep and boundless, his expression as calm as water, no one knew what he was thinking.
Hear the sound.
Xiang Zhuang came to the three generals and put down the elixir, weapons, armor and a piece of banknote respectively.
"King Tuyuhun, King Bimeng's armor and weapons, I give them to you, because only you are worthy of possessing them!"
"Wang Wu, you are the best master of General Feihu's equipment, mounts, and weapons. As for General Liu Qing, the Green Tiger Sword, and the Liuhe Armor, they are all equipment collected by me. Today's sword adds a hero, and I hope General Liu will accept it.
.”
"Besides, the elixirs and banknotes are all of my heart. The three generals must not refuse!"
"Generals, there is no need to be surprised. In the coming day's campaign against Chu, if you kill one of the Chu generals, you can keep everything you gain. I will also give you other rewards."
According to Fan Zeng's words, Xiang Yu has begun to win over people's hearts. Although the three generals of Tuyuhun King are not generals of the War Dragon Empire, they are powerful. If they can be recruited under his command, their strength will greatly increase. Of course, Xiang Yu will try his best to win them over.
"Generals, go down and get ready. Go to Jingyang City immediately. The beauties, fine wines, cities, gold, silver, jewels, armor and elixirs that you desire are in the Imperial City of Chu State. Whether you can take them away depends on your ability!"
"I have always believed that the generals here are no weaker than the Chu generals. Now as long as we conquer Jingyang City, we can march straight in and reach the divine capital of Luoyang."
"The King of Heavenly Evil has gone to Jingyang. The Emperor of Chu is seriously injured and the morale of the Chu army is low. God-given opportunities must not let the King of Heavenly Evil take the lead. Everything should belong to you. It is an opportunity that 600,000 coalition troops paid for with their lives. You
You can’t hand it over to others as a white label.”
Xiang Yu's voice was powerful, and all the generals from all over the world stood up one after another and walked quickly outside the tent. The fatigue of a night of fierce fighting was all forgotten at this moment.
Being the first to march into Jingyang, kill the Emperor of Chu, and send an army to pacify Luoyang is what some people are most concerned about. (To be continued)
