General Liu Xun, who had been guarding Yuan Shu, was overjoyed when he discovered that Xiang Ji had appeared on a horse alone.
It doesn't matter what happened on the front line. What matters is that you, Xiang Ji, are the only one who dares to rush to our rear.
You must know that there are still a total of 10,000 troops here that have not participated in the war, and these 10,000 people are Yuan Shu's personal soldiers, that is, the Dacheng Kingdom Yulin Army established by him.
This imperial army is much stronger than those big soldiers in terms of combat power, equipment, and morale.
Now that this person dares to come here alone, isn't this a sign of merit?
"Your Majesty, I will wait for you to capture this traitor!"
After asking Yuan Shu for instructions, the Imperial Forest Army commander Liu Xun marched forward.
"The whole army obeys the order, attacks, and kills the traitor Xiang Ji!"
Following Liu Xun's order, 10,000 imperial troops moved.
The cavalry goes first, the infantry follows, and the archers form the rear. A battle of ten thousand people against one man is about to begin.
But at this moment, a large number of troops suddenly appeared from behind Xiang Ji.
Among them are Xiang Jiajun and Yuan Shu's former leading soldiers, but now they have defected and become a rebel army.
Seeing this sudden attack of troops, Yuan Shu was stunned, Liu Xun was stunned, and the Imperial Guards were also stunned.
What the hell is going on?
Why are our own men and horses mixed with Xiang Ji's Xiang family army?
Why didn't they break out into a fight?
Why would they attack our Royal Guards?
There were too many reasons swirling in the minds of Yuan Shu and others, but the encounter that had already broken out gave them no time to continue thinking.
Due to a brief loss of concentration, the imperial guards who lost the initiative were defeated by the sudden appearance of the army. Seeing that they could only resist but were unable to fight back.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiang Ji smiled.
"Hahaha! Who just said that I should die? Attack with the whole army? Kill the traitors? Yes, you can do it."
In a good mood, Xiang Ji began to tease the people in front of him.
But Liu Xun was in a very bad mood.
Things have become very clear.
Under continuous high pressure, the pent-up anger of Yuan Shu's soldiers finally broke out, and began the soldier uprising that was the most troublesome for the princes.
It doesn't matter. Generally speaking, no one has encountered it. As long as it is within the control range and the leading thorns are chopped off, the uprising will basically stop.
But the problem is that the timing of Yuan Shu's army's uprising is rather embarrassing.
Now is the time when Yuan Shu's army is on the verge of life and death. An uprising broke out at this time, but it was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Your Majesty! Retreat quickly! Liu Xun will take the throne for you!"
As a loyal minister, Liu Xun did everything he could.
Faced with this situation, Yuan Shu didn't say a word, nodded deeply to Liu Xun, stopped driving, quickly ran to the horse beside him, got on the horse and ran towards Shouchun with his entourage.
Xiang Ji didn't bother to pay attention to Yuan Shu who was escaping. Not to mention whether he could escape or not, even if he escaped, Zhao Yun was still guarding him. He didn't believe that Yuan Shu could still break through Zhao Yun's siege.
"Liu Xun, right? Come on, let's fight! I'll give you a decent death."
Under such circumstances, he could still protect his master loyally, which made Xiang Ji take a high look at him.
But something happened right away that stunned Xiang Ji.
When he saw Yuan Shu walking away, Liu Xun, who was still loyal and protective of his master, suddenly showed a flattering smile on his face.
"General Xiang is so powerful that Liu Xun is willing to surrender.
It was only because Liu Xun’s family members were all in Shouchun City, so for the safety of his family, I had no choice but to take this step, and I hope General Xiang will forgive me."
Are you ready to dismount now?
Where is your promised integrity? Where is your promised loyalty?
Damn it!
Xiang Ji didn't like Liu Xun at all.
What kind of ploy? If after a hard fight and being captured, you can still be forgiven for surrendering, what the hell is that?
What's more, this disgusting kid's surname is Liu, which makes Xiang Ji even more intolerable.
With his legs clamped together, the white dragon shot out with electricity, and before Liu Xun could react, he swiped his halberd across the chest.
Ignoring Liu Xun's corpse, which looked in disbelief, Xiang Ji jumped on his horse and charged towards the imperial guards who were still resisting.
As for Yuan Shu who escaped? As mentioned earlier, with Zhao Yun guarding him, Xiang Ji really didn't believe that Yuan Shu could escape.
"Xiang Ji of Western Chu is here! Your Majesty has escaped, and Liu Xun has been killed by a certain family. If we don't surrender now, when will we wait?"
Following Xiang Ji's loud shout, the Imperial Forest Army who were still resisting were immediately frightened.
Yes, judging from the current situation, is there still hope of winning? I’m afraid it’s gone?
Your Majesty has escaped and the general is dead, so what's the point of us still fighting here?
"The villain is willing to surrender, the villain is willing to surrender!"
Large areas of the Royal Guards knelt down and surrendered.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiang Ji's heart was filled with joy.
The battle that lasted for a month finally came to an end with the surrender of Yuan Shu's imperial army.
Yuan Shu's army at several other city gates also discovered the changes in the east gate and rear army. With the continuous propaganda of their own people, except for a few soldiers who escaped, most of Yuan Shu's army laid down their weapons and accepted the reorganization of Xiang Ji's Xuzhou army.
.
After this battle, Xiang Ji succeeded in swallowing the elephant with the snake, and the whale swallowed the last essence of Yuan Shu, the Yangzhou army of hundreds of thousands!
As long as these hundreds of thousands of people are properly placed and after a series of training and reorganization, they will become sharp weapons in Xiang Yu's hands and fight for Xiang Yu's dominance.
"Instruct the whole army to bury pots and make rice on the spot, so that all Yangzhou brothers can have a full meal!"
For Yuan Shu's army at this time, nothing was more important than a full meal.
You know, they had been empty for two days and could only eat water to satisfy their hunger every day. If Yuan Shu hadn't told them that they could have a full meal after breaking the city, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have the strength to pick up weapons.
But now, instead of having to work hard, they can still have a long-awaited meal. Many of Yuan Shu's surrendered troops shed tears.
Food has never made them feel so precious, even if it is just a bowl of rice soup, it seems to them to be extremely delicious, and they are afraid of wasting even a single grain.
Seeing that all the surrendered troops were properly arranged, Xiang Ji was relieved. You must know that these were more than 100,000 surrendered troops, and he currently only had 40,000 troops. He would be lying if he said he was not worried.
Now, seeing that a large number of Yuan Shu's surrendered troops were not hostile to his Xuzhou army, but instead stood shoulder to shoulder like brothers, Xiang Ji knew that these more than 100,000 troops were completely named Xiang.
Humph, Yuan Shu, you really gave me a big gift!
