Chapter 100: Yuan Shu Defeated Again and Again (2)
Item... Xiang Yu came. Yuan Shu's face was filled with fear.
Yang Hong is also extremely worried.
The soldiers of the Yuan army were all frightened when they saw Xiang Yu coming.
I saw Xiang Yu's 5,000 heavily armored iron cavalry, after galloping into the battlefield, divided into two parts, left and right, and rushed towards Yuan Shu's infantry to prevent Yuan Shu's infantry from forming an encirclement on the battlefield.
Xiang Yu held the coiled dragon halberd, took the lead, and shouted: The army is invincible!
Invincible! Invincible...! A loud shout spread all over the battlefield and soared into the sky.
With my invincible momentum, everyone is terrified.
The soldiers of the Yuan army were already afraid of Xiang Yu, and when they saw the well-equipped iron horse, wrapped in billowing smoke, sweeping in, they were even more afraid. Many of them couldn't even hold their weapons steadily, and they fell to the ground, and their feet were shaking.
Whoosh...
The soldiers who broke the barracks took out their bows and arrows and fired a burst of fire.
The entire Yuan army was in chaos, and the soldiers were at a loss.
Yuan Shu looked anxious, and shouted from behind: A bunch of stupid people, hurry up and fight back.
Shoot the arrows!
After the soldiers of the Yuan army reacted, they returned fire with bows and arrows. However, they lacked a general with unified command, so the bows and arrows they shot were scattered and lethal.
Then look at the soldiers in the barracks, in the face of the flying arrows, prostrate on the back of their horses to hide.
After a burst of arrows, there was no injury.
Javelin ready, cast! Approaching the enemy, Xiang Yu picked up a javelin and threw it at the enemy formation a few feet away.
The soldiers did the same, piercing the sky with javelins and cutting into the enemy's line.
The army formation that had just been condensed was dealt a devastating blow before it could be wielded, and was scattered and routed by javelins. There was a gap in the military formation, and the broken barracks rushed in.
Kill...!
Xiang Yu rushed to the forefront, and the coiled dragon halberd opened the way, like a bamboo.
The untrained soldiers of the Yuan army are like a plate of scattered sand, where is the opponent of the broken barracks, in the face of its ferocity, they can only flee in defeat.
Resist! Resist me! Seeing that Xiang Yu's army was getting more and more fierce, and the 60,000 troops on the left could not stop the attack of the broken barracks, Yuan Shu pulled out his sword and yelled anxiously.
Yang Hongdao: Please go to Lujiang County for temporary refuge, and the minister will block Xiang Yu.
Shut up, if it weren't for your suggestion to leave Danyang Bing in Shouchun, how could I have been defeated? Yuan Shu was extremely remorseful. I thought in my heart that with the courage of Danyang soldiers, I would definitely be able to block Xiang Yu, but unfortunately I didn't bring it.
The battle is raging...
Half an hour later.
Chen Lan's 10,000 iron horsemen were shot and killed by Yuan's chariot, and they fled for their lives.
Chen Lan was seriously injured and besieged.
Yuan Shu's chariot army, although it won, also suffered heavy casualties.
More than 60,000 people on the left road were scattered by the broken barracks.
Xiang Yu was covered in blood, his eyes were wide with anger, and he rushed towards Yuan Shu's direction with murderous aura, and the frightened Yuan Shu hurriedly moved closer to the right army.
Lord, don't hesitate any longer, retreat! Yang Hong persuaded again.
Stupid!
Yuan Shu still did not take Yang Hong's suggestion and ordered the Right Route Army to also enter the battle.
His idea was simple: in this wilderness, the infantry would never outrun the cavalry, and if the army withdrew, it would be pursued frantically by the broken barracks, and then the casualties would be even heavier.
In the Valley of the Rising Sun, the battle is over.
More than 10,000 Yuan troops were killed, more than 30,000 were captured, and countless grains, grasses, and equipment were obtained.
Luo Cheng summoned five thousand elites, went to the front to help in the battle, and killed Yuan Shu from behind, and the startled Yuan Shu ran away again.
Although there are not many soldiers and horses, they occupy the right time and place, and win the best situation for breaking the military camp.
Time is ticking by...
Yuan Shu's army of more than 100,000 was attacked from both sides and suffered heavy casualties. In the face of the wolf-like broken military camp, the soldiers of the Yuan army were terrified. Ignoring Yuan Shu's military orders, he began to retreat slowly.
Don't retreat, kill the past, kill the past...! Yuan Shu stood on a chariot and shouted anxiously.
However, the trend of defeat did not change because of his loud cheers, but intensified. Even the armies on the left and right were about to retreat to him.
Sou!
Suddenly, a withered arrow feather flew and shot Yuan Shu's turban down, and Yuan Shu was startled and lay on the chariot.
Lord... Are you alright, my lord? Please go first, take refuge in Lujiang County, and the ministers will lead the army to break off. Yang Hong ran over again.
Yuan Shu shook off a cold sweat and did not reprimand Yang Hong. He looked at the battlefield, Luo Cheng was already about to kill, less than a stone's throw away from him, and the withering arrow just now must have been put by Luo Cheng.
Please, Ziyu, you must withdraw the army. Yuan Shu finally compromised, but he couldn't understand how his army of more than 100,000 couldn't defeat Xiang Yu and Luo Cheng.
The lord can rest assured that the minister will serve his life. Yang Hong looked left and right, and said hurriedly: Lord, you go quickly, if you don't leave, it will be too late.
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. The Yuan army, which was barely able to resist the broken barracks just now, took a turn for the worse after Luo Cheng appeared, and the defeated ones who were killed retreated in great strides.
Yuan Shu knew that the enemy was no match for Xiang Yu and Luo Cheng, so he led the remaining more than 3,000 chariots and part of the right army to flee to the east.
Yang Hong stayed behind to supervise the battle and continued to entangle with Xiang Yu and Luo Cheng. I want to buy Yuan Shu a little more time. However, the defeat has been decided, even if Yang Hong is ambitious, he can't change the fate of defeat.
When Xiang Yu and Luo Cheng joined forces and pursued together, Yuan Shu's army had already retreated on all fronts. Yang Hong also followed the defeat and went to chase Yuan Shu.
An army of more than 100,000 people was chased by a few thousand people, and the scene was very spectacular.
Brother Luo, you return to Xuyang Valley to clean up the battlefield and chase Yuan Shu, and leave it to me.
Okay, take care, brother!
Luo Cheng had no intention of fighting for merit, and led his subordinates back to Sunrise Valley.
Xiang Yu chased all the way, from the border of Danyang County, to the central part of Lujiang County, although he did not catch up with Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu's army was killed cleanly, thousands of miles of official roads, and there were many corpses.
After two days and two nights of escape, Yuan Shu finally arrived at Lujiang County.
Lujiang County guarded Liu Xun, who was originally Yuan Shao's general, and since he surrendered to Yuan, he can be regarded as loyal, but now Yuan Shu, the loss of soldiers and horses, such as a dog with a broken spine, Liu Xun was worried that Xiang Yu would attack, so he led the army to drive Yuan Shu's defeated army out of Lujiang.
Yuan Shu was defeated by Liu Xun and defeated again!
He was so angry that he led less than 2,000 horsemen (on the way to escape, he unloaded the carriage) and made a detour to Huainan.
Xiang Yu chased him to Fanyang, the seat of Lujiang County, but he was already sleepy and hungry.
The entire soldiers of the broken barracks were stained red with blood, exposed to the sun, and emitted a foul smell.
The people in the city listen, open the city and surrender, Rao Er will not die, otherwise he will be killed into the city, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! Xiang Yu was about to rest in Fanyang City, so he came to the city, threatened Liu Xun, and opened the city gate.
Liu Xun came to the city tower, looked at the tiger and wolf army outside the city, and hesitated.
