Chapter 335: The Sinking Boat
No one questioned Xiang Yu's order, even if some people questioned it, but when most of the people supported Xiang Yu, these voices decreased, and Xiang Yan was able to restrain Xiang Yu before, but now that Xiang Yan is dead, these people originally expected Fan Zeng to be able to persuade Xiang Yu, but Fan Zeng supported him, and in his opinion, this was not a bad opportunity.
The Chu army did not retreat, and the remaining tens of thousands of elite Chu troops even crossed the direction of the Qinyi area, but instead advanced fifty miles, facing Wang Li's more than 200,000 Qin troops.
Such a decisive battle with such a disparity in military strength is rare in the world, and the eyes of the whole world are focused on Wang Li and Xiang Yu at this time, and this battle represents the fate of Qin and Chu respectively.
Wang Li didn't think he would lose, but Xiang Yu's strange actions still puzzled him, Wang Li had experienced dozens of large and small wars but still couldn't guess Xiang Yu's thoughts, he didn't know Xiang Yu very well, but he knew the Xiang clan of Chu very well, which was known as the strongest family in Chu State, so he didn't think Xiang Yu was crazy.
The large and small Qin army scout teams have been sent out by him for nearly a hundred teams, scattered in all directions along the entire army station, and the farthest scout team even searched a range of 100 miles, but still did not find any abnormal movement around, this seems to be Xiang Yu's entire strength, except for the tens of thousands of horses in front of him, he has not found any trace of the Chu army's movements.
"He's looking for death."
Wang Li sneered: "Order the vanguard army to press up." ”
The lieutenant next to him asked, "All! ”
"All!"
Wang Li's forward army has nearly 50,000 horses, these people are all the elite in Wang Li's hands, and even his ace hundred battle armor-piercing soldiers have been incorporated into the forward army by him, and the military strength is rare in the world.
His purpose is very clear, he is to use this most elite vanguard army to suppress the army that the Chu army on the opposite side has just gathered.
The Qin army has strong bows and crossbows, and they routinely release arrows before attacking, not to mention the armor-piercing soldiers with mechanical equipment, the crossbows in their hands can fire more than ten crossbow arrows without interruption, and the power is not reduced in the slightest compared with the bows and crossbows in the Qin army, and eighty percent of their crossbows are cast in bronze, which is also a reason for its power.
The infantry pressed forward, and the armor-piercing soldiers routinely fired arrows like wasps to pounce on the Chu army's military formation.
About half a moment later, tens of thousands of Chu troops and Qin troops collided directly with each other's military formations, and the thunder that resounded throughout the earth did not stop for a moment.
The roar of the war horses and the howls of the soldiers before death never stopped for a moment, and countless Qin and Chu troops died with every breath.
At the very beginning, the Chu army was even able to resist the Qin army attacking like a tide, and even under the command of Xiang Yu, the Chu army was brave, and at a certain time the Qin army even showed signs of collapse, if it weren't for the vanguard army, there were hundreds of thousands of Qin troops behind them, they would have been defeated by this Chu army, killed by the Chu army on the opposite side, or died at the hands of their own people.
The horn of the Qin army sounded again, and hundreds of thousands of troops began to charge, and the Chu army, which was entangled with the vanguard army, undoubtedly began to rout in the face of these hundreds of thousands of Qin troops.
The army that had just accumulated became vulnerable in the face of absolute strength, and the Chu army began to rout, leaving behind corpses.
During the time of the confrontation with the Qin army, the Chu army left no less than 20,000 corpses, and the remaining 30,000 Chu troops were already frightened.
The Chu army, who had lost their armor, sat down in this narrow shallow.
Both the generals and the soldiers were exhausted to the extreme at this time, and Zhang Liang, who was a military advisor, was no exception.
Zhang Liang rolled up his sleeves and the Ling Xuan Sword in his hand, which had always been glowing, looked a lot dull at this time, and there were many sword marks on the armor he had temporarily put on, and even his arm armor didn't know where it had gone.
Behind him, the huge lonely boat completely enveloped his voice.
A water bladder was handed to him.
Zhang Liang took it and looked at Ji Bu, who had already sat over.
"What's wrong with the king?"
On the edge of the shoal, Xiang Yu stood alone on the beach, without a personal soldier or a general by his side.
No one knows what Xiang Yu, as the soul of the entire Chu army, is thinking at this time?
Even the four generals of the Wind Forest Volcano who have been following Xiang Yu all these years have been able to guess Xiang Yu's thoughts.
"It's just that no matter how the king decides, we will always support his decision."
Ji Bu took the water bladder returned by Zhang Liang and drank all the water, stood up and looked at Zhang Liang and said: "No matter how crazy the king's decision is, we will not have any objections, Mr. must make a decision as soon as possible." ”
......
......
Wang Li was not anxious to attack, the Chu army was a trapped beast at this time, but the trapped beast still had a strong offensive nature, and besieged the Chu army with an absolute superiority in strength, just waiting for their will to slowly wear down, and then they could easily take down the 30,000 Chu army.
Not far away, there was a dull sound in the camp of the Chu army.
"What are they doing?"
"It seems to be embarking... No, it's a sunken boat. ”
Dozens of Chu ships on the shallows in the distance slowly sank in the night, and they had already cut off their last retreat.
