Chapter Forty-Eight: The Place of Death

Saying goodbye to Xiang Chao is already evening, Zhongli chased non-stop all night, at night by the moonlight can only see the road clearly, after dawn, Zhongli's mood is a little heavy, there are some corpses lying on the side of the road, and the more you go forward, there are more and more Qin army routs, there are also Great Chu soldiers, and more are the people of Qianshou.

When it was close to noon, the sleepy sergeants finally had a gap to catch their breath, and Zhong Liyi nibbled on the raw dry food and thought about his situation.

To the north of Huaishui, Li Xin, the general of Qin, has conquered the land of peace, and Mengwu, the most famous general of the second generation of Meng's family, also led an army to press forward step by step, and the Chu army was defeated and retreated.

Fortunately, the family fled to the southwest, across a Huaishui, Zhong Liyi felt a lot more at ease, but south of Huaishui, there was also the old general's partial army into Nanjun, and the sporadic engagement only left a lot of devastation, Zhongli is now only worried that the family died halfway, and it is much more difficult to find someone from the corpse.

"Someone!"

"General Zhongli." The manpower that Xiang Chao gave him was the Xiang family's personal soldiers, and the orders were like a mountain, even if Zhongli was now lightly armed and never joined the army, the sergeants still regarded him as their own general.

"What is this place?"

"Back to the general, a hundred miles ahead is the boundary of Xiyang."

"The front is becoming more and more unstable, pass the order, the scout must be sent ten miles away, find the Qin army, and report immediately!"

"Whoa!"

"Also, if you find a dark-skinned corpse, you must also investigate it, and find the Yelang fugitive slave as soon as possible!"

"Report - General Zhongli, five miles ahead, I found the cavalry of the Qin army, and they are rushing here!"

Zhong Liyi immediately realized that he had made a mistake, and in a hurry, he only cared about galloping all the way, and did not reconnoiter the surroundings properly, three hundred steps was one mile, five miles, but the distance of a cavalry charge.

Besides, his side traveled lightly in order to hurry, and he didn't even have a Chu halberd, all of them were carrying light swords and soft bows, once he suffered a big loss in the battle, and then looked at the panting war horse, Zhong Liyi secretly complained in his heart.

"How many men and horses are there in the Qin army?"

"General Hui, the Qin army is about 100 people, and it seems that they are looting everywhere, and they are unexpectedly encountering our army!"

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Without the Chu halberd to stop them, the Chu army could only count on rushing into the formation to slash and stab the enemy, but fortunately, the sergeants who came were all in the army for a long time, and they did not panic at all, and soon formed a small formation.

Zhong Liyi bore the brunt of the attack, and his heart was worried, at this time, the war horse could not be counted on, not to mention the lack of people and horses, and he couldn't split the stab when he rode on the horse. If the Qin army did not hesitate to use horses, and only engaged after a collision, the Chu army would inevitably pay a certain number of casualties.

Everyone present is the elite of the Xiang family! Unexpectedly, he was dragged into such an abyss, the roar of the horse's hooves came from far and near, the earth began to tremble, and a team of black-clothed knights gradually appeared in the field of vision.

Zhong Liyi clutched the hilt of his sword tightly, waiting for the hand-to-hand encounter, and when the Qin army approached, his mood became even heavier, because the Qin army who came was not wearing an inch of armor.

The cavalry that does not wear armor only has rangers, and most of their tasks are reconnaissance, even if they engage in battle, they are also touch-and-go, and what they pursue is lightness and flexibility, so the combat style of the rangers ......

Sure enough, as Zhong Liyi expected, this Qin army marched in order, slowly began to slow down, and finally stopped at a place a hundred steps away, and took out a cold and shining Qin crossbow.

It's really a real place of death, if you get on the horse and run away, the war horse that ran all night can't compare to the Qin army, and sooner or later it will be overtaken, and at that time, the Chu army will have no power to fight back, and I wanted to fight to the death, who would have expected that it would be a ranger with a Qin crossbow in hand, is it going to be such a nest The whole army is not here......

"Horses as shields!" Just as Zhong Li was shouting hoarsely, the Qin army on the opposite side also moved.

"Wind! Wind!! Gale!!! The small black-clothed army formation was neatly aligned, and suddenly a dark cloud rose up, roaring towards the Chu army under the hood.

Zhong Liyi only had time to take two steps before he was thrown to the ground, his ears were full of the screams of his companions, and after a twitch of his robe, only a piece of warmth was left on him, and he never moved again.

Pushing away the comrades who saved his life, Zhong Liyi took the surviving Chu army sergeant to hide behind the war horse, so that he was in the mood to check the casualties, only one round of shooting, more than a dozen sergeants became slowly cooler corpses, and more than half of the enemy's hair was lost without even touching it, and everyone's hearts were unusually depressed.

Zhong Liyi found that the other party was very rhythmic, and only part of the Qin army was squeaking and squeaking when they retreated, and just when everyone was running behind the horses just now, more than half of the Qin crossbows were pointing at this side with a cold light - the other party had no fear, and did not leave the slightest flaw.

"Wind! Wind!! Gale!!! ”

The roar of the arrow piercing the air shattered the liver and bladder, and a dark cloud rose in the clear sky, Zhong Liyi watched the rain of arrows crash into the crowd, and suddenly bloomed a bloody flower, the poor war horse didn't even have time to scream, it was already shot like a hedgehog, Zhong Li was in pain, he couldn't wait to turn into a copper tripod to protect all the horses of the Chu army.

After a round of coverage, Zhong Liyi counted again, although this time everyone relied on the body of the horse to resist, but still killed a partner, an old horse on the side of the formation did not receive many arrows, and galloped out in pain, and the sergeant behind it was unfortunate, and died of exhaustion after only one arrow.

Commanding everyone to stack the horse corpses together, Zhong Liyi and the remaining sergeants carefully concealed behind them, the horses were gone, and they couldn't run away, but if they didn't sacrifice the horses, I am afraid that there would be not much left of the Chu army in the round just now.

"Wind! Wind!! Gale!!! ”

This time there were no crossbow arrows shot, he knew that this was the will of the Qin people who wanted to break them, and the arrows took advantage of the wind, and the wind rose, and everything was immortal.

Zhong Liyi pulled an arrow from the horse's corpse and entered the body more than half a foot, is this the power of Qin's crossbow? Is this the kind of opponent that the Admiral is facing? This is just a hundred people in rotation to press themselves to the point that they can't raise their heads, if it is a 10,000-strong army formation, how many Chu people's lives will be taken by the overwhelming Qin crossbow.

And then there are loyal martyrs who are determined to die, and they are all unwilling to die under such weapons. The wind is blowing, is there really nothing to stop, hit the arrow with your chest, Chu people, you can't look at death!

The companions around him were more or less wounded, from the discovery of the Qin army to the present, only half an hour, the longer it dragged on, the more hopeless it became, two more sergeants were seriously injured and died, and there were only thirteen people left in the team of thirty people.

The Qin army began to be agitated, they were no longer patient, a dozen people were no longer a threat to them, and it was time to charge after the next round of shooting, even relying on the trampling and ramming of war horses was enough to end the battle.

Zhong Liyi tore off a piece of his shirt and tied the sword firmly to his hand, come on, Lao Tzu is fed up with being played like a prey, even if he dies, he has to pull a cushion!

"Soldiers, today, here, fight to the death!!"

"Fight to the Death!!
