It wasn't until a day later that Heifu arrived at the Pujin battlefield, where the two pontoon bridges had long since burned down, leaving only charred driftwood floating on the shore, and the murky river washed over the densely packed corpses on the bank, and their blood had seeped into the wet soil of both the Qin and Chu people.

The main force of the Chu army, including Xiang Ji himself, was already in Pubancheng on the opposite bank of the river.

"The subordinates and other envoys will be punished!"

Li Bi, Luo Jia, Yuan Yong, and Yang Xi, except for the Yue Commander who died in Pujin, all the surviving generals bowed their heads in front of Heifu, but it was difficult to say how they were defeated.

Yuan Yong described the story in 1510: "At that time, our army lived on the bank of the river, and the Chu army was thousands under the riverbank. ”

The thief took himself as bait and moved to the left with his chariot and flag. Li Bi and Yang Xi thought that Xiang Ji wanted to escape, so they chased him, but they were stopped by his foot soldiers and cut our army into two sections. But on the left side, our army still has the advantage in numbers, so the subordinates decided to burn the right pontoon bridge with Luo Jia Sima first, cutting off the retreat of the thieves......"

Yuan Yong said that because the embankment was muddy and wet, he asked everyone to abandon the chariots and horses to fight, and the material officer attacked the returning Chu people with strong bows and crossbows, killing and wounding hundreds of people, in addition to preventing them from going to rescue Xiang Ji, he also wanted to approach the pontoon bridge and burn it.

But when they saw that they were about to approach the target, all of a sudden, the battlefield on the left side of the Qin people, which was originally more on the left, began to collapse. The commotion from there expanded in an instant, and Yuan Yong looked back and saw that although he was fighting on foot, Xiang Ji with a long halberd and a group of Chu people had actually defeated the Qin soldiers, and even the Yue soldiers who were already good at fighting in Sichuan!

Speaking of this, he stopped, glared at Li Bi, and the meaning was very clear:

"Li Sima, it's your turn!"

Hefu knew very well that his subordinates were all raising their eyebrows and scrambling to be the first to recount their victory, eager to boast about how brave and fearless they were, because it was a matter of sharing the credit.

But once they encounter defeat, they are like leaves beaten by frost, and it is indispensable to blame each other for the reasons, but it can't be too exaggerated, after all, there are military judges behind them to record the merits.

As a greedy and regressive person, Li Bi was a little weak-hearted, and he couldn't answer the words, so he just said:

"Dare to tell the prince, Xiang Thief is indeed brave, he is holding a halberd, covered with armor, and fighting in person. Colonel Yue shook the spear and fought with it, but only carried a he, and was killed by Xiang Ji, our army and horses fell, lost the first hand, and had no thick armor and thick shield, so they could only fight and retreat, Xiang Ji along the river bank, from left to right, actually broke out of the encirclement......"

There is no way, they don't want to grow the popularity of others and destroy their prestige, it is this battle, everyone really loses without temper - it is just tactically induced, purely relying on the battle of the river beach, which is purely based on bravery, was even beaten back step by step by the inferior Chu army, as long as Xiang Ji goes, his own queue is often cut apart.

Luo Jia also interceded for Paoze:

"The subordinates saw with their own eyes, not only did the thief have the courage of a hundred husbands, but also the short soldiers of the Chu people were not afraid of death, and there was a young man with a sword on his back, just after the thief, if someone wanted to be unfavorable to him, that person would pull out a simple sword and slash indiscriminately, and the hand was up, the clothes and armor were flat, and the blood was like a spring......"

In this case, the Qin army lost its advantage, and the generals were all good at fighting, even the newly surrendered Yang Xi and others were not without fighting spirit, and they all tried their best to prove themselves, but the order could not be passed on, and the movement was completely chaotic!

In a simple word, everywhere Xiang Ji passed, he was invincible, and in just a moment, in addition to shaking the remnant, two more commanders died under Xiang Ji, which made the Chu people more courageous, and also made the various units of the Qin army that lost their command more chaotic.

Yuan Yong added: "Seeing that the Xiang thief was approaching the right pontoon bridge and would join the Chu people who came to help, I asked the spearhead in the army to board the car with a bow in hand, intending to shoot him. ”

"However, the thief was dumbfounded, and the material officer did not dare to look at it, and he did not dare to send his hands, so he left and retreated into the army, not daring to come back."

After several chiefs finished narrating, it was Yang Xi's turn, and it was said that he was the only person who was still alive after meeting Xiang Ji.

Yang Xi hung his head and said: "I and a group of township party stopped in front of Xiang Ji, Xiang thief has been on the horse again, personally was a halberd rushed to me, staring at me, its sound is like thunder, I sat down the horse was frightened and retreated, ran dozens of steps before stopping, and then looking back, Xiang Ji has been on the pontoon bridge with it, and fight and retreat......"

Relying on the large number of Qin soldiers, Yuan Yong finally lit a fire on the pontoon bridge, so that more than 1,000 Chu troops who did not have time to cross the river with Xiang were either buried in the sea of fire, or could not cross, and were captured by the Qin army.

After all, Xiang Ji still couldn't bring all the soldiers back.

This is all the way to go, the four of them hung their heads, waiting for the fury and punishment of Marquis Wu Zhong.

Wanhuyi is gone, the gold reward is gone, and seeing that the official is also going to be lost, there is nothing wrong with losing it, anyway, the bandits of the six countries have been repulsed, and they have no regrets about unloading their armor and going home.

"It's a pity that I failed to kill Xiang Ji and avenge the people of Xihe." Yang Xi was unwilling.

Heifu suddenly laughed, helped the four of them up one by one, and took the initiative to take the aisle:

"It's Yu Zhi's fault, I wanted to use ten thousand households and thousands of catties of gold as a reward, so that the soldiers could fight bravely to kill the enemy, but I didn't expect this to be used by the thieves and use themselves as bait."

"But in this battle, our army suffered 2,000 dead and wounded, and the Chu army also suffered 2,000 dead and wounded and captured, which is considered a comparable battle loss.

Although the Qin army was outnumbered, you must know that they were facing Xiang Ji, and it was not bad if the whole army was not annihilated, and Heifu was a little afraid in retrospect.

The four of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and they all bowed down to thank Heifu.

These people are the black man's Meng, Xi, and Bai, because of Qin Mu's open good head, so far the Qin army has only punished army thieves and national thieves, but there is no tradition of killing defeated generals, Li Xin, a guy who has lost his teacher and humiliated the country, can also have a second chance.

How could Heifu not forgive the four?

In the past year or so, the Northern Expeditionary Army has been busy with the civil war, and there are very few battles with the Six Kingdoms, especially the Chu Army.

Xiang Yu is really a person who is completely opposite to Heifu's character, one is cowardly, one is reckless, one believes in reason and planning, and the other is controlled by passion and violence.

But this battle also made Heifu realize that he lacked good generals on chariots, especially those who were experienced and could command 10,000 people, and the Li Bi, Luo Jia, and Yang Xi in front of him were only at the level of 1,000 people......

He couldn't help but think: "In the past, among the old good families in the Northland, there were many people who could be cavalry horses, but there were very few who could be cavalry captains."

And here, seeing that Marquis Wu Zhong did not blame, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and began to analyze the "secret weapon" of the item.

After this battle, everyone agreed that Xiang Yu's pair of tricks might be a little strange......

"It is said that it has heavy pupils, which can take people's hearts, and often turns their heads to look at people, and ordinary people are shocked." Yuan Yong swears.

"Thou mean......" Hafu was happy, knowing that his subordinates had begun to be superstitious again, and said:

"That book, I'm afraid it doesn't have a pupil technique?"

He just said it casually, but the four of them took it seriously.

Luo Jia said: "It is indeed a witchcraft related to the double pupil, or a trick of Chu Wu." ”

"In the book of the day, it is said that black dogs cure ghosts, but unfortunately there are no black dogs in Guanzhong, otherwise a basin ......of black dog blood will go down," Yang Xi muttered secretly, raised his head and secretly glanced at Heifu, they all knew why Hu Hai slaughtered the black dog.

"Maybe only Marquis Wu Zhong, who can summon the Heavenly Fire Mine, can deal with the Xiang thief!"

Li Bi adhered to this belief, the secret weapon of the Northern Expeditionary Army to break through the military pass has not yet been made public, and ordinary military officers and soldiers have no doubt that miracle belongs to the Marquis of Wu Zhong.

But Heifu was noncommittal, and asked them to go down to sort out the battle and hand it over to the military judge to summarize, knowing that they had won all battles, while he looked at the distant river bank and thought about what to do next.

This battle for the West River is not over yet.

Although it is a pity, the Chu army is close to the Puban ferry, and there is really no way to let it go. As for the Zhao and Wei coalition forces in the north, they didn't have such good luck......

"The back hand I arranged in the north should also work!"

Sure enough, at dusk of the day, a scout from Xia Yang came with good news:

"On the order of General Han Xin, Shangjun Bai Zhai rode 3,000 to surrender to the Cheng Northern Expeditionary Army, and now went south to Xihe to help Wuzhong Marquis fight the thieves. and converged with Dong Peng of Shaoliang Mountain, advanced by land and water, crossed at Longmen, and intercepted thousands of Zhao Wei troops who had time to escape in the future! ”

What made Heifu even more overjoyed was that among the thousands of people, there was also a surprise.

"The traitor Zhao Gao is also among them!"
