Chapter 31: This is the last battle and the first battle
"General, all the way forward, our army scouts keep sending out, but no one has returned, something must have happened."
……
The commander of the scout battalion had a complicated gaze, he knew in his heart that there would be an ambush of the Chu army ahead, but he also understood that it was impossible for the army to retreat lightly.
At least without news from Fan, it was impossible to retreat. With the relationship between Fan Xu and the King of Han, once they retreat, what awaits them will be a dead end.
This is an era of man's rule, and the depth of the relationship determines the strength of trust. Although the commander of the scout battalion could not say it in words, he knew it in his heart.
……
"Xu Lei."
"General."
Pointing to the deep valley ahead, Xiao Guangcheng's eyes were like knives, and he said in a deep voice: "You will lead 10,000 pioneers and immediately move forward to meet General Fan Xu." Ben will lead the army to continue to advance, and then Yinger and others. ”
"No."
The valley was too narrow, limiting the speed of the 100,000-strong army, and in desperation, Xiao Guangcheng had to order the vanguard to advance.
Only by sending a vanguard army can we support Fan Hao as quickly as possible.
……
10,000 elites broke away from the army and quickly swept towards the depths of the South Valley, Xu Lei was apprehensive in his heart, and the uneasiness continued to deepen, he knew that the vanguard army was simply sending him to death.
It's just that the order is issued, even if you die, you must go, because the Han army is trained by Han Xin, the king of Qi, they forbid the order to go deep into the bone marrow.
……
"Phew!"
……
As soon as he grabbed the reins of the horse, Xu Lei's face changed greatly, because he had reached the depths of the valley, but he still did not see the figure of Fan Xu's army.
Only the faint smell of blood permeated, and the murderous aura that had not yet dissipated remained, which made Xu Lei feel shocked, which meant that a big war had just taken place here.
It's just that there is not a single corpse, only blood stains all over the ground, which makes the South Valley full of weirdness.
"Retreat!"
Horrified in his heart, Xu Lei immediately gave the order to retreat, because he knew in his heart that this place was too weird, and if he didn't make a decision, he was afraid that he and the others would explain it here.
……
"Shoot the arrows!"
At the same time, Prince Xiang Tianhu's eyes swept through him, and he waved his left hand and said.
Since the vanguard of the Han army is here, don't think about leaving easily, otherwise, Li Zuoche will not be in vain, and Xiang Tian will not be in danger of his own achievements.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
At the sound of an order, the overwhelming arrows, like a heavy rain pouring down in the sky, with a fierce killing machine, shrouded the vanguard of the Han army below.
"Poof, poof, poof......"
……
The sound of arrows entering the flesh sounded, and the Han soldiers continued to fall, and the sound of Jin Ge hitting came, and the vanguard of the 10,000 Han army waved their weapons and continued to shoot down the arrows that flew down.
……
"Damn, I'm afraid something happened to General Fan Xu!"
The thought flickered in his heart, and Xu Lei knew that Fan Xu was defeated and even died almost at the same time as the arrow was shot.
"Run!"
The overwhelming arrows shrouded him, Xu Lei was so frightened that his soul was scared, he raised his arms and shouted angrily, and took the lead in escaping.
……
"Xiang Sheng, lead the army to chase and kill!"
"No."
……
Xiang Tian's expression changed slightly, and he immediately issued an order, the original Han army chased and killed himself like a lost dog, but now it is time for the Han army to taste the taste of being hunted and killed.
"Li Zuoche, driving the war horses, gave the Han army the illusion that thousands of troops and horses were hidden in the mountains."
"No."
……
Xiang Tian knew in his heart that Xu Lei's plan was just because of Li Zuoche's step-by-step calculations, coupled with Fan Xu's special identity.
If it weren't for Fan Xu's leadership today, the Han army's foot soldiers would never have penetrated deep into the southern valley, and even if the Chu army broke through the pursuers, the general trend would still not change.
"Drive!"
Xiang Tian took the lead and personally led the army to cover the killing, intending to break the 100,000 Han army in one fell swoop.
……
"Sigh the law ......"
Tens of thousands of war horses neighed in unison, and Xiang Tian led the Chu army to gallop all the way. He wanted to break through the Han army in fright.
……
"General, our army chased to the depths, and still didn't see General Fan Xu, I was afraid that there would be more than one luck. Now the Chu army is ambushed in the valley, and our army is mostly foot soldiers and it is not easy to go deep. ”
Xu Lei abandoned the vanguard and fled, just to send information to Xiao Guangcheng, at this moment the Han army suffered heavy losses, and no more casualties could be added.
"General, look at ......"
Seeing that the trees in the mountains were moving, Xiao Guangcheng frowned, there is no saying that all plants and trees are soldiers in this era, yes, Xiao Guangcheng's expression changed.
"Command the army, the former army will become the rear army, and immediately retreat!"
"No."
……
With the order of the main general, the Han army quickly changed its formation and moved towards the outside of the valley. Xiao Guangcheng is just a deputy general, not a peerless general, and his performance on the battlefield is unsatisfactory.
If Han Xin or Xiang Tian were here, he would definitely lead the army to march to block the South Valley and completely trap the remnants of the Chu army here.
The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and at this moment it is the next strategy to take the road and escape.
This time, the reason why Liu Ji, the king of Han, sent Fan Hao and Xiao Guangcheng was only because of loyalty. Unexpectedly, Liu Ji, the king of Han, not only underestimated Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, but also did not expect to kill Li Zuoche halfway.
The most important thing is that Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, broke through the siege, and the Chu army in his hands did not decrease but increased, from the 30,000 army that had just broken through to 50,000 at once.
The 50,000 elite divisions, all of which were cavalry, such a powerful army could have swept the world, if it weren't for Xiang Tianji's fear of Fan Xu, even in the wilderness, he would have been able to break through the Han army's pursuits.
"Kill!"
Looking at the Han army getting closer and closer, Xiang Tian raised his halberd and shouted angrily. When it comes to critical moments, he must not make a mistake.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
……
The three shouts of killing swept through the sky, which suddenly greatly boosted the morale of the Chu soldiers, and Xiang Tian since he led the army to break through the siege, the record of punishing the infant, lowering Li Zuoche, and killing Fan Hao was too dazzling.
It was this bright record that gave hope to the soldiers of the Chu army who followed him, and it can be said that in this Chu army, Xiang Tian is a god.
Even Xiang Tian has replaced Xiang Yu and become the spirit of this Chu army.
"Poof!"
……
The Chu army suddenly killed, led by Xiang Tian, and the left battalion was tightly guarded, like a sharp knife straight into the heart of the Han army.
"Poof......
……
With a halberd to kill the soldiers in front of him, Xiang Tian couldn't care about erasing the blood on his face and continued to go deeper.
This time, the Han army he wanted to kill was all retired, and the Han army was terrified.
"Xiang Sheng continued to advance, chasing and killing the chief general of the Han army."
"No."
"Xiao Kai led the army to follow Xiang Sheng and expand the results."
"No."
……
Successive orders were issued, and the soldiers of the Chu army slaughtered into the flock like crazy wolves, unleashing the tyranny in their bones.
The killing continued, and the heads fell to the ground, and the blood flowed like a stream, forming a blood-colored river.
……
This battle is the last battle for Xiang Tian to get rid of the deadlock, and it will also be the first battle for the revival of Western Chu. As long as Xiang Tian wins this battle, he can complete the strategic plan and stir up the world.
