Chapter 6: Ambush II

This earth-shattering shout couldn't help but make Jing Qi tremble in fright on the horse, and when he looked up, the cliffs on both sides were densely packed with Qin troops, and the cold light of countless weapons looked extremely cold in the cool morning light. Jing Qi was shocked: "What's the matter? How can there be Qin troops here? ”

At this moment, arrows rained down on the cliffs on both sides, and tens of thousands of arrows roared down like blue meteors. The unprepared Chu soldiers were hit by arrows one after another, blooming with beautiful blood flowers, and the valley suddenly screamed, and countless Chu soldiers fell to the ground one by one!

Immediately after that, the huge rocks and rolling logs made a rumbling sound, jumping down from the top of the mountain, because the speed was too fast, the boulders and rolling logs couldn't help but make a loud "whirring" sound in mid-air, which frightened the Chu army and ran endlessly!

However, the valley was narrow, and the Chu army had no way to avoid it, and there was no way to escape, and countless people were knocked into the air and flattened for a time. For a moment, the valley was abandoned, and there was a dull sound of a seeping heavy object slamming into the human body!

In just a few moments, the valley was full of corpses and rivers of blood!

"Ohβ€”β€”!" The Qin soldiers on the top of the mountain were overjoyed when they saw this, and they couldn't help but scream, beating the victory drum loudly on the mountain, and at the same time struggling to shake the flag to cheer! Jing Qi Lema looked up urgently, and the word "Meng" on the banner was impressive!

Jing Qi couldn't help but be stunned: "'Meng' word flag!?" Could it be that the Mengwu army on the Anyang side has already moved westward and came to attack our army with Wang Jian before and after!? Oops! There is an interception in front, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, if you don't fight hard, my life will be rested! ”

Jing Qi struggled to draw his long sword and shouted: "Brothers, don't panic, rush out of the canyon quickly, as long as you rush out, you will be safe!" "The Chu army realized that they were eager to escape, and they rushed towards the valley mouth like a swarm of arrows and rocks in the sky!

How willing the Qin army was to let go, the arrows were not very lethal to the Chu Xiang Xiong soldiers, so they densely aimed at the general Chu army, and the attack direction of the rolling wood and the stone was mainly aimed at the Chu Xiang Xiong soldiers! As a result, the Chu Xiang Xiong soldiers who were opening the way in front were continuously attacked by the Qin army wave after wave of crazy attacks, and the rain of boulders and rolling logs kept falling into the dense red figures, splashing blood flowers one after another.

The poor and brave Chu Xiang elite soldiers had no power to fight back at this time, and they were completely in a situation of being passively beaten!

Xiang Liang personally saw a famous Xiang disciple dying helplessly under the huge rocks and rolling logs of the Qin army, and he couldn't help but look like he was going crazy, and he was about to climb the cliff and attack! Several lieutenant generals hurriedly set up Xiang Liang and persuaded bitterly: "Major General Hugh must be reckless, the Qin army of the Mengwu Department has a large number of people, and it occupies a favorable geographical position, so you can't fight strongly!" Let's go quickly, in case Wang Qian's troops catch up again, my whole army will be closed! Xiang Liang gritted his teeth and glared at Qin Jun on the cliff for a long time, before he viciously ordered: "Go, this blood debt will be counted later!" ”

For a while, the Chu people thought that they were being attacked from the front and back, and they didn't dare to fight, so they just struggled to get out of the valley, leaving countless corpses along the way, and left in the wilderness!

……

The battle finally came to an end temporarily, and the corpses of the Chu soldiers were lying everywhere in the huge valley, and a thick bloody gas floated in the air; The originally majestic banner lay scattered in all directions, almost trampled into rags by the rebel army; From time to time, heavy trucks emitted the sound of crackling horns, burning their last lives in the blood-colored valley!

"Oh!" Although most of the Chu army had already broken out of the siege, and the outstanding military exploits at the bottom of the cliff couldn't help but make the Qin army full of joy, waving the weapons in their hands on the top of the mountain, jumping and jumping!

Li Xinzhi said to Fusu proudly: "Your Majesty, Jing Qi has already led the remnants of the army eastward, let's pursue it immediately!" Fusu thought for a while and said, "Wait a while, let him escape a little farther!" Our army is not under the command of General Mengwu, and there is a lot of difference between it and its numbers, only if it is far away, if it is immediately from the ground to pursue the Chu army, so as not to make Jing Qi suspicious, let them obediently drill the trap we have laid! "Wow!" Li Xin smiled and nodded!

The Qin army rested for a while, and then mounted their horses one after another, and the 50,000 elites lifted the smoke and dust that covered the sky, and followed Jing Qi in a hurry!

In the next few days, Fusu and Li Xin led the army to chase all the way, staring at Jing Qi's buttocks, if he left the ground and launched a fierce attack from time to time, and at the same time ordered the army to pull up the posture and hold more flags, which looked completely like the posture of hundreds of thousands of Mengwu military ranks chasing after each other!

Jing Qi was really fooled, thinking that the main force of the Mengwu army was in a hurry, seeing that the Chu army had suffered large losses and the army's morale had dispersed, he did not dare to engage in the battle at the moment, nor did he dare to run to Anyang, so he led the Chu army to turn south, preparing to cross the Rushui and retire to Xinying!

******

In the early morning, the sun had just risen, and everything had just woken up, but the river bank west of Rushui was already noisy: hundreds of thousands of Chu troops were preparing to cross the river, only to see people shouting horses neighing and wheels rolling, it was really lively! Last night, Jing Qi and the others were busy all night, collecting almost all the boats within a hundred miles of the Runu bank, some of which were used to build pontoon bridges, and some of which were used to carry troops across the river, and finally made all preparations in the early morning!

Jing Qi and Xiang Liang stood on a hill on the bank of Rushui, looking at the west, the smoke and dust were billowing in the distance, and the Qin army was like flying to kill! Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiang Liang hurriedly said: "General Jing, the situation is not good, hurry up and cross the river, the Qin army is about to chase after you!" ”

Jing Qi hesitated a little and said: "However, the rear army still has a lot of baggage and has not arrived!" Xiang Liang hurriedly said: "It's all thrown away, as long as someone is there, the baggage can be rebuilt!" If the army is finished, it will not be able to gather again for a while! ”

Jing Qi gritted his teeth and ordered: "Pass my general's order, the army will abandon all baggage and cross the river with all its might!" "Wow!" The heralds came down one after another and went to the armies to give orders.

Soon, Rushui began to get busy: countless Chu troops rushed towards the east bank of Rushui like a long pontoon bridge like a long snake, and ferries also began to move back and forth on Rushui to rush the army!

The army had just marched a third of the way, and the shouting and killing of the Qin army behind him was already approaching, Jing Qi hurriedly said: "Young General, it's too late, the army will be caught up by the Qin army before the river crossing is completed!" The army is halfway across and fights, it is a taboo for soldiers, send troops to intercept the Qin army as soon as possible, and strive for half a day! ”

Xiang Liang gritted his teeth and said: "General Jing is panicking, you lead the army to cross the river and go first, after I lead Chu Xiang's elite troops to break, I will definitely buy you half a day!" Seeing this, Jing Qi was very moved and said: "The Qin army is brave, the young general must be careful!" ”

Xiang Liang nodded, galloped down, and floated down the mountain like a white floating cloud. "Woo woo woo ......" The peculiar horn sounded, and the Chu Xiang Xiong soldiers, who had been arrayed on the west bank of Rushui, suddenly clenched the blades in their hands when they heard the order!

Xiang Liang Pegasus rushed to the front, slammed the white horse that stepped down, and shouted: "The warriors of my Xiang tribe, the Qin army is about to chase after you, but my army has not crossed the Rushui yet!" For the safe crossing of the river by the main force of our Chu army, we must block the Qin army west of Rushui for half a day! But you will face an enemy ten times and twenty times greater than you, are you afraid? ”

"No!" The majestic voice did not hesitate!

"Chu Xiang will win!" Xiang Liang pointed the halberd in his hand to the sky!

"Chu Xiang! Chu Xiang! ......" Chu Xiangxiong's soldiers shouted hard, the continuous rout could not make this unyielding force succumb, and the boiling battle intent almost ignited their red armor!

"Come with me!" Xiang Liang shouted, driving the white flying horse to the west!

"Kill β€”β€”!" The elite soldiers of Chu Xiang shouted, stepped on the wet earth, and traced the river to the hundreds, but when the rest of the brother troops fled eastward, they would have to bravely face countless enemy troops!

******

"Report to β€”β€”, Jun, General Li, five miles ahead, I found thousands of Chu Xiang elite soldiers blocking the way, waiting in formation!" Fusu and Li Xinzheng led the army to gallop, and rode to reprimand the Pegasus and reported!

Fusu hurriedly reined in his horse and shouted, "Stop advancing!" "Boom ......" In a thunderous neighing of horses, the galloping cavalry quickly stopped, waiting for the order!

Fusu shouted, "Get the map!" One of the staff members of the army quickly took out the map and presented it.

Fusu looked at the current situation and said to Li Xin: "General Li, yesterday General Mengwu's special envoy reported urgently that they had arrived from Anyang, less than fifty miles away from Rushui, and I estimate that they must have laid an ambush on the east bank of Rushui by now!" And the current Chu army must not have time to completely cross the river, it is estimated that tens of thousands of remnants of the army have crossed at most half, and it is a good time to attack halfway! As long as we can quickly defeat this elite army of Chu Xiang, and then fight with General Mengwu from east to west, Jing Qi will shed his skin if he does not die! ”

Li Xin said excitedly when he heard this: "Great, Chu Xiang's elite soldiers were ambushed by our army the day before yesterday, and there are at most more than 5,000 people left!" And our army still has 50,000, I don't believe that with ten to one, our army still has the advantage of morale, and it can't step on them! ”

Fusu nodded and said: "Yes, as long as you take this opportunity to eradicate this elite army of the Chu people, the destruction of Chu is only between the hands!" ”

Immediately, he helped Su Yuema to come to the front of the army and shouted: "Soldiers of my Qin army, in front of you is the proudest male division of the Chu people: Chu Xiang Xiongbing!" A year ago, it was they who defeated my undefeated heroic division of Great Qin! But are you convinced? "Not convinced! Defy! The Qin soldiers had already held their breath, and they all slammed their halberds and shouted wildly!

"Good! Worthy of being my son of Daqin! Now, the enemy is ahead, they are only 5,000, and we have 50,000! The enemy is already a lost dog, but we are the tigers who have come out! Do you have the confidence to fight them in such a situation? "Yes!" The Qin army raised their halberds in the sky, hissing wildly, and their battle intent boiled to the extreme!

"Okay, take back my Great Qin's immortal honor and step on Chu Xiang! Kill β€”β€”! "Fusu holds the halberd and points straight ahead!

"Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Qin Feng ......, "The iron horsemen of the Qin army roared like thunder, driving the angry war horses, like a huge tornado storm towards the Chu Xiang soldiers!"

The battle between the brave is about to begin!

******

The galloping cavalry of the Qin army turned a corner, and the field of vision became steeply wide, and a huge red cloud in front of this clearing was quietly blocking the cloud road!

The fire-like armor, the fire-like battle intent, and the group of red-eyed warriors, the huge murderous aura emitted by this red cloud couldn't help but make Fusu a little frightened!

Fu Su was ruthless and gritted his teeth: "The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road!" Today, we must step on your Chu Xiang elite soldiers! ”

"Kill β€”β€”! The iron cavalry is invincible, only Daqin! Fusu hissed and shouted, wielding the halberd in his hand vigorously, driving the war horse to run wild! At the whirring wind in his ears, the battle intent in his heart almost made Fusu's eyes red like a burning fire!

"Whewβ€”β€”!" The cavalry of the Qin army roared like wolves, stepping on the trembling earth, and swept over!

"Four hundred steps!" The Chu people shouted!

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! ......" The infantry soldiers of the Chu army tapped their shields with the weapons in their hands, making a uniform sound of "knock ......"! The dull voice is strong and powerful, running through the surging battle spirit and the heroism of swearing to the death!

"Three hundred steps!" The voice is trembling more and more!

"Two hundred steps!" The voice is almost hoarse!

"100 Steps β€”β€”!" The long tail note was not over, and Xiang Liang waved his hand fiercely: "Foot pawn, up!" ”

"Kill β€”β€”!" More than 2,000 Chu Xiang elite soldiers held shields in their left hands, battle axes, heavy swords, and short spears in their right hands, swept across the ground, like a red cloud of fire rushing towards the Qin army!

Fusu suddenly remembered and shouted: "Pay attention to the horse's legs!" As soon as the words fell, the galloping cavalry formation had already sturdied and collided passionately with the foot soldiers of the Chu army!

At the moment when the two armies intersected, Chu Xiang's elite soldiers were alert and nimble to dodge the galloping war horses, covering their bodies with shields, while the battle axes and giant swords in their hands beckoned to the horse's legs!

"Boomβ€”β€”! ......" Countless Qin army war horses neighed miserably, and fell to the ground heavily, and many Qin army cavalry fell to the ground with the sudden fall of the war horses, unable to retract their momentum, and flew out like a cloud driving fog, falling heavily to the ground! Either he broke his arm or broke his neck, and before he could get up, he was cut to pieces by the Chu Xiang foot soldiers who surrounded him!

Fusu was shocked and angry, and shouted again: "Watch your step! Hit the enemy's flank! ”

When the Qin soldiers heard the general's order, they immediately learned to be obedient, and when they saw Chu Xiang's foot soldiers rushing to the ground, they lifted the reins of their horses heavily. At the neighing sound of the war horse, it rose into the air, and the giant halberd immediately stabbed straight down, penetrating heavily from the heavenly spirit of the Chu army, straight through the viscera, and killing the Chu army like a broken doll!

"Ohβ€”β€”!" When the Qin army saw that the tactics were working, they cheered and wanted to do the same! Who knew that when the next batch of Qin soldiers who repeated their old tricks once again manipulated their mounts to take off into the air, the giant halberd went straight down to meet a solid shield!

"Boom!" With a muffled sound, the giant halberd was bounced back heavily, and then the Chu army counterattacked: "Pounce ......!" "Sharp short spears quickly stretched out from behind the shield, and slammed out from the horse's belly, stabbing the Qin army's war horses into meat skewers;" ......"The heavy sword and battle axe also quickly stretched out from behind the shield, and actually cut off a piece of the hind hooves of the Qin army's war horse, and then the Qin army that landed on the ground did not wait to break it up, and the Chu army was divided into corpses!"

For a time, the galloping cavalry of the Qin army was blocked by more than 2,000 Chu soldiers, and the warriors of the Qin army who fell to the ground like rain dyed the yellow earth red!

The adaptability of the Chu army was so good, and the melee combat power was so fierce, Fusu couldn't help but gasp!

Suddenly, Fusu remembered; Three Talents! There was a long howl in the sky, and a peculiar drum and trumpet sound suddenly sounded in the riding formation: "Woo woo woo......!" ”

As soon as the trumpet sounded, the Qin army's original galloping cavalry formation changed instantly: the Qin army suddenly formed a small formation of three people, forming a concave inverted triangle, and once again regrouped and attacked again!

When the Chu army soldiers swept the ground again, the Qin army's new attack array showed its power: the Qin cavalry at the top of the inverted triangle roared loudly and launched a furious attack on the Chu army, and his attack was immediately blocked by the Chu soldier with a strong shield, but at this time, the Qin cavalry at the two vertices on the flank in front of the inverted triangle also launched an attack when the Chu pawn was busy defending against the Qin cavalry attack! Chu Xiang's foot soldiers immediately gradually fell into the helpless dilemma of being attacked on three sides!

......In the warm sunshine of the morning, the tragic blood flowers of the Chu people quickly bloomed, and the blood-colored sky became extremely strange and bloody for a while!

"Kill β€”β€”!" As soon as the Qin army saw that the new formation was effective, they cheered and drove the huge military formation, and in an instant, more than two thousand Chu Xiang foot soldiers were drowned in the black steel torrent!

Looking high in the sky: in the huge black raging waves, a little bit of fiery red struggled hard, stubbornly resisting the devouring of the black death, but the fiery red was too small after all, and in the face of the black that occupied a huge advantage, it finally couldn't resist, and quickly collapsed, drowning in the furious waves of death!

However, the elite soldiers of Chu Xiang deserve to be the most courageous elite of the Chu State, and these outstanding warriors saw that they could no longer resist the footsteps of the Qin cavalry, they were angry and burning, they roared and roared, abandoned their protective shields, and flew towards the Qin troops rushing in all directions! At the same time that Qin Qi's cyan halberd penetrated his body, they also used the cold light in their hands to give death to Qin Qi at the same time!

One life is worth one life, the courage of the Chu people is so heroic! In order to defend the honor of the country, they have completed the highest mission of a soldier: to fight to the end, never to the death!

After the battle, Xiang Liang saw that the battle situation was unfavorable, and Chu Xiang's foot soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and his heart was full of grief and indignation, and tears of grief immediately poured into his eyes: these Chu Xiang elite soldiers are from the same clan as Xiang Liang, and they are all excellent children of the Xiang clan. Then, it was because these Chu Xiang elite soldiers were relatives of each other, so Xiang Liang couldn't help but feel a great pain when he watched his relatives die in turn on the battlefield!

"Huh-" Xiang Liang was furious, grief and anger like an angry wolf, the silver armor was almost burning in the surging battle intent, his black eyes turned red, and the whole person was like a furious wolf king full of huge murderous aura!

"Chu Xiang is undefeated! Kill β€”β€”! Xiang Liang roared wildly, waving his black halberd, driving the white flying horse to roll towards the Qin army that swooped over like a huge wave! Behind him, the last two thousand or so elite soldiers of Chu Xiang shouted, and swooped up without hesitation in the direction pointed by the commander, fearlessly meeting the grim smile of death!
