Chapter 373: Swan Song

readx;

Chu's singing voice is poignant and moving. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

For the Chu soldiers who are away from home and are now exhausted, this song not only brings them endless homesickness, but also gives rise to strong war-weariness. The morale that was originally high was suddenly reduced to nothing overnight.

"King, the Tang thieves let go of Chu Ge, and hundreds of people left the camp.

However, the Tang army did not stop them and let them leave...... If it goes on like this, in a few days, the sons and daughters are afraid that they will have to leave. ”

Sitting in the Chinese military tent, Xiang Yu listened to Xiang Yuan's report, but was indifferent.

He looked tired and emaciated.

It's no wonder that Xiang Yu, not to mention that the family business he worked so hard to manage is gone, and the sons and daughters around him were dispelled by Liu Kan with extremely simple means, how can he not be disheartened? At this moment, he began to regret it: if Fan Zeng was still there, he would definitely solve his problems.

It's a pity that Fan Zeng is now nowhere to be found, and there is no news.

"Let them go, in such a situation, if you forcibly block it, it will make them hostile, and it is really useless.

Come to think of it, the sons and daughters followed the lonely king to fight for thousands of miles, from Guangling to the giant deer, from the giant deer to the beau, the lonely king is really not good at embarrassing them. ”

Xiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, and persuaded softly: "King, the form is not good now, the minister has a plan, maybe he can get out of danger."

The minister secretly observed for two days and found that the Tang thieves did not check the departure of the sergeants. Why didn't the king dress up in disguise, dressed as an ordinary sergeant, and leave here without even noticing? As long as he can return to Huiji, the king can regroup, and it is not difficult for him to set foot in the Central Plains one day. ”

Xiang Yuan thought he was thinking about Xiang Yu, but he forgot Xiang Yu's violent temperament.

Hearing Xiang Yuan say this, Xiang Yu was furious, grabbed the wine glass and smashed it out. Xiang Yuan couldn't dodge, and his smashed head was bleeding.

"The eldest husband stands in the world, and he does not change his name, and he does not change his surname.

Since crossing the river, the Lone King has been invincible. Even if you are down today, you can't do such a thing. The lonely king would rather die in battle than be laughed at by the thief...... Thinking of you for a while, the lonely king will not pursue it. Get out, don't disturb the lonely king's wine again. ”

Xiang Yuan, with a look of shame, left the big tent.

"King, Xiang Yuan is also thinking about you, but you scolded like this, but it was a bit too much."

Yu Ji poured Xiang Yu a glass of wine and said softly: "The concubine also knows that the king is a hero in the world, but it is not a way to go on like this." ”

Xiang Yu was silent!

After a while, he said softly: "Ai Ji, the method that Xiang Yuan said is disdainful.

But if you stay in the camp, there will inevitably be accidents...... It's better to pretend to be an ordinary soldier, and the lonely king will be protected by Xiang Shou and others, and escape from here. After leaving here, you will take Xiang Shou and them, quickly cross the river, rush back to Huiji, and wait for the lonely king to go back to meet. ”

Yu Ji's face turned pale.

She couldn't hear it, Xiang Yu wanted to forcibly break through, but she was worried about her safety.

Can you force a breakthrough, can it really succeed?

Yu Ji couldn't help but be a little worried.

My own affairs, my own know.

What is the situation of the enemy that Xiang Yu is going to face, Yu Ji knows it very well.

"The King's ......"

"Aiji, it's decided, you prepare quickly, and the Lone King will go to Xiang Shou to cover your departure."

has been with Xiang Yu since childhood, and Yu Ji also knows Xiang Yu's temperament. She also knew that if she continued to stay, Xiang Yu would inevitably be distracted.

Can you leave Xiang Yu?

She didn't want to.

Because Yu Ji didn't know if Xiang Yu would be able to successfully break out of the encirclement.

To go, or not to go?

Yu Ji hesitated.

Sitting alone in the small tent, looking at himself in the bronze mirror in front of him. Although he has passed the good years of youth, his face is still beautiful and moving.

The past 15 years are vivid.

Yu Ji didn't even know that if Xiang Yu failed, how could she withstand it?

"Aiji, are you ready?"

Xiang Yu urged softly outside the small tent, "Xiang Shou is ready, if you don't leave, the sky will be bright!" ”

As he spoke, he walked into the small tent, and when he saw that Yu Ji had not changed her clothes, he couldn't help frowning, "Ai Ji, why haven't you changed your clothes yet." ”

"The king, the concubine is afraid, and it will be difficult to see the king again."

"Aiji, what are you talking about?"

Xiang Yu was a little angry, and shouted: "Hurry up and change your outfit, and leave here with those soldiers before dawn."

When I get to Huiji, wait for me to come back.

If ......"

Xiang Yu didn't finish speaking, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, "Hugh is going to be verbose, quickly change your clothes and leave here." ”

Although he didn't finish his words, how could Yu Ji not hear what he meant by the unspoken words?

smiled miserably, turned around, prostrate on the ground, and said softly: "The concubine will change her clothes, but please take care of the king." ”

Xiang Yu nodded with a gloomy face.

Standing outside the tent, he raised his eyes to the stars.

The starry stars are particularly moving.

Infinite sadness suddenly appeared in his heart, and Xiang Yu also knew that when he came to this point, the hegemony of the dead attempt had become a void.

Although it is said that he will cross the river and return to Huiji, and then regroup.

But can it really be regrouped?

Xiang Yu didn't know either......

"Pull out the mountains and cover the world!"

Xiang Yu suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, as if he wanted to use this roar to dispel all the sorrow and depression in his heart.

But in his heart, he was even more irritable. The heroism that had just been puffed up disappeared all of a sudden, and he sang softly: "The time is not good, the sturdy will not pass, and the skull will not pass away, but what can I do......"

He turned around, looked at the low-hanging curtains, and muttered to himself, "Yu Xi Yu Xi Ruo! ”

At this moment, Xiang Yu didn't think too much about himself, thinking more about Yu Ji's future.

This one has followed him everywhere since he was a child, but in the end he ...... If I can't fight my way out, Yu, Yu, what will you do in the future?

Clang!

From the tent, there was a soft sound.

Xiang Yu suddenly shuddered, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart.

He took three steps and made two steps, and rushed into the tent. saw Yu Ji lying in a pool of blood, wearing his favorite white palace dress, which was stained with blood. A bright sword fell beside Yu Ji. Xiang Yu rushed over before shouting Yu Ji's name and holding her in his arms. The sword that Yu Ji killed himself was still the male and female sword that he asked a famous craftsman to build when he was in the sentence.

The female sword, stained with blood.

Sword, in sheath......

Yu Ji's beautiful face was smiling.

She seemed to be comforting Xiang Yu in this way: King, don't worry about me. I'm gone, but I'll be in heaven, bless you!

"Yu ......"

Xiang Yu let out a sad cry and hugged Yu Ji in his arms.

In the tiger's eyes, two lines of tears flowed.

Another day has passed, and the Tang Army's Chu song has become louder and louder.

The soldiers who fled from the Chu army camp one after another added up to three or four thousand.

And those Chu troops who stayed in the camp were also fluctuating. No one can say how long they can hold out. After all, in the face of the 200,000 Tang Army, the current Chu Army is no longer the Chu Army that dared to be ten in Julu back then. The general trend is gone, and everyone knows it...... They, too, are just waiting. When you can't hold it anymore, you automatically choose to quietly flee from here.

The singing, like a soft knife, depleted the morale of the Chu army little by little.

Every moment, every moment, the soldiers of Chu were in a panic.

Night once again covered the land.

Xiang Yu was still sitting in the small tent, hugging the body that was already stiff and cold. For a whole day, he was not in the water.

Suddenly, the silent camp boiled like a frying pan.

The shouting of killing woke Xiang Yu up from his confusion, and he held Yu Ji's corpse and raised his head blankly.

"Great king, great calamity, great calamity!"

From outside, a young man, about in his early twenties, was born burly and fierce.

It's not too tall, but it's strong. As soon as he entered the small tent, he shouted loudly: "Xiang Yuan, the dog thief, actually surrendered to the Tang army." ”

Xiang Yuan, surrendered?

Xiang Yu suddenly woke up.

It turned out that Xiang Yuan's kind and well-intentioned offer last night was exchanged for a stinking scolding that split his head and covered his face, and his head was even smashed.

Back at his residence, the more Xiang Yuan thought about it, the more he felt angry. So when Yu Ji killed herself and Xiang Yu had no intention of taking care of the barracks, he secretly contacted the Tang army, made an appointment, opened the camp gate, and let the Tang army enter the camp. For several days, the Chu army, which was in a state of panic, did not make any strong resistance. Under the impact of the Tang army, the Chu army was quickly defeated.

The young man who reported the news was Xiang Yu's brother, and he was also one of the few survivors among the soldiers who crossed the river with him.

He shouted loudly: "King, the Tang army has been killed, and the last general has ordered five hundred relatives to protect the king and fight his way out of the encirclement." ”

Xiang Yu's eyes showed a warmth.

He lowered his head and kissed Yu Ji's forehead vigorously, then laid her body down.

"Even if the Lone King has fallen to such a point, he doesn't need to wait for protection!"

He stood up suddenly, exuding a sharp aura around him, "Prepare the horse, carry the halberd!" ”

As he spoke, he strode out of the tent.

Yu, Yu, let's see the lonely king fight for you again!

"The king, the princess's corpse ......"

"Liu Kan is definitely not the kind of villain with bad bones, and he will be properly placed."

The decadent color on his face disappeared without a trace at once. Xiang Yu has become the confident and murderous overlord of Western Chu again.

He put on armor, mounted a halberd, and led Xiang Shou and others to kill the Tang army.

I saw the coiling dragon halberd in his hand flying up and down, weighing more than 100 catties, like a lamp grass. Several Tang generals rushed over, and he overturned them in the blink of an eye.

"Sons, Hugh looks at the many thieves in the Tang Dynasty, in the eyes of the lonely king, but the general of a chicken and a dog, no one can stop me Sanhe."

Xiang Ji shouted: "Let's watch the Lone King take the head of the Tang thief!" ”

With a black horse under his crotch, Xi Yuyu neighed and rushed towards the Tang army.

Xiang Shou and the others couldn't help but be enthusiastic, shouted loudly, and rushed to kill with Xiang Yu.

Facing it, it is encountering the descending general Xiang Yuan.

Xiang Yu roared, and the black horse was like an arrow from the string, and he arrived in front of Xiang Yuan in the blink of an eye. Xiang Yuan saw Xiang Yu, how could he have the courage to fight. He turned his horse's head and ran away. But the black horse is the Wusun Heavenly Horse, which is no worse than Liu Kan's Red Rabbit Horse.

Before Xiang Yuan could take two steps, Xiang Yu had already arrived in front of him, raised his halberd and fell, slashing Xiang Yuan under the horse.

At this time, Xiang Yu seemed to have entered a very wonderful state.

After he killed Xiang Yuan, he looked up to the sky and laughed non-stop, and shouted: "Liu Kan, dare to fight to the death with the Lone King!" ”

"Xiang Ji, don't be rampant!"

A chariot came galloping, and the military general on the cart was Tu Tu.

He danced and stabbed Xiang Yu distractedly, shouting in his mouth: "Take your life, why do you need Your Majesty to take action, slaughter is here!" ”

Speaking of which, Tu Tu is indeed a fierce general, weighing dozens of catties, but in his hands he is as fast as lightning. If it were a different person, he might have stabbed him to death. But what he faced was Xiang Ji, who was known as the first master of the ages in later generations. Seeing the long stab, Xiang Ji did not panic, the long halberd in his hand was lifted outward, and the bell crashed away from the long man, and the black horse suddenly turned sideways in the gallop, and the moment it swept by the side of the chariot, the coiling dragon halberd made a backhand move rhinoceros to look at the moon, and the slaughter was picked up from the car and flew out.

The halberd was slashed at the moment, and it was gently wiped.

Tu Tu fell to the ground, the armor on his back had been torn open, and the entire spine was torn apart, revealing the broken vertebrae inside.

"The overlord is mighty, the overlord is mighty!"

Xiang Shou and the others shouted loudly.

In this shouting and killing, Xiang Ji became more and more aggressive.

"Fight, fight......"

He roared, his voice echoing through the sky.

"Good man, worthy of the overlord that His Majesty said, he is worthy of his name, eat me!"

A figure blocked Xiang Ji's way. Like a small mountain, he jumped into the air, with a mace in his hand, hanging with the sound of the wind, and smashed it into Xiang Ji.

Just listening to this rumor, Xiang Ji felt a chill in his heart.

His feet lifted suddenly, and two stirrups fell from under the saddle, and his feet were put into the pedals, and his heels knocked the horse's belly, and the black horse neighed, and jumped to the side. The coiling dragon halberd in his hand collapsed against the mace, and then wiped it with a stroke, dissolving the huge force of Wanjun.

Even after removing the strength of the rod, Xiang Yu still felt numb in his arms.

War Horse Xi Yuyu took a few steps back before he could stand firm. On the way to escape from Fengyi, Xiang Ji discovered a strange problem.

Most of the horses of the Tang army were equipped with high saddles and double stirrups.

He tried it and it was very good. So he took a set and equipped it on the black horse.

Originally, I thought that after he retired to Huiji, he could also equip his war horse with high-saddle stirrups on a large scale. After all, this thing is not complicated, as long as you find some craftsmen, you can solve it. Unexpectedly, before he arrived at Huiji, he was surrounded by the Tang army. Large-scale equipping, naturally, is unlikely. However, relying on the high saddle stirrups today, the burden has been greatly reduced, otherwise he really doesn't know if he can unload the stick just now.

When he looked up, he saw a man who was too tall and looked like a hill in front of him.

"Giant bear?"

Xiang Yu shook his head, and a trace of nervousness arose in his heart. This monster, although it is a foot soldier, is wrapped in heavy armor all over its body, and its strength is amazing, and he really can't resist it.

"Good man, there are not many people in the world who can eat my stick, except for my brother and my son, you are the third."

Liu Ju stood firmly on the ground and slapped the stick, "This king Liu Ju, I was ordered to intercept you, and I want to go from here, so I asked the wolf tooth in my hand before leaving." ”

If it was on weekdays, Xiang Yu would definitely be happy to fight with Liu Ju.

But when he looked behind him, he found that the Chu army that followed him, plus Xiang Shou, was only twenty-eight people.

The Tang army was surrounding from all directions, shouting and killing one after another.

Xiang Yu knows that he can't fight!

"Xiang Shou, go with the lonely king!"

Xiang Yu was about to leave, but saw a general galloping from a distance.

He has a big Wanliang horse in his crotch, and he also has a mace in his hand, but it is one size smaller than Liu Ju's mace.

"Xiang Yu, leave off!"

People go down to the mountains and tigers, and horses are like dragons out of the sea.

When the words arrived, Tang Jiang roared: "Wuyi Marquis Liu Xin, wait here for a long time!" ”

The stick fell, and Xiang Yu hurriedly raised his halberd to fight. The two of them circled, and after two or three rounds, Xiang Yu frowned slightly.

If in normal times, within 100 rounds, he can take Liu Xin's head.

Can ...... now

Xiang Yu didn't dare to fight, so he hurriedly made a false move, forced Liu Xin back, turned his head and left.

didn't go far, and killed two generals from both sides, one was Ji Bu and the other was Ji Xin. The two brothers also knew that this Yu Fei and other idlers could resist it. So Xiang Yu double-fought.

"Overlord, this way is not going to work!"

Xiang Yu saw that he couldn't break through, so he turned the horse's head again.

I didn't want to be blocked by Fan Xu and Ji Xin again, and after two or three rounds, Xiang Yu suddenly jumped out of the circle and reined in the halberd.

"Liu Kan, dare to fight with the Lone King!"

Xiang Yu knew that Liu Kan had already laid a net, and it was not easy to escape.

Killing all the way from the camp, Xiang Yu killed more than 20 Tang generals, which is enough to say. At this point, what he hopes most is to fight with Liu Kan and solve the knot that has plagued him for three years. When he hit the warehouse back then, he defeated Liu Kan. can win without force, and I can't help but have some regrets in my heart. Now, he wants to fight to the death with Liu Kan in a dignified manner.

However, Xiang Yu also knew that it was unlikely that Liu Kan would fight.

Because at this point, how could Liu Kan, as the king of a country, take risks easily.

In the distance, the lights are bright.

Li Zuoche, Zhang Liangmengke and others, surrounded Liu Kan, appeared in front of Xiang Yu.

"Pull out the mountains and cover the world,

The times are not good, and the smos will not pass.

If you don't die, you can't help it,

Yu Xi Yu Xi Na Ruo ......"

Xiang Yu couldn't help but be surprised.

The poems he made yesterday can be said to be known to no one except him, where did Liu Kan know about it?

Liu Kan held the red flag in his hand and the red rabbit under his crotch.

Dressed in Tang Yi treasure armor, with a jade belt around his waist, he urged the horse to step forward.

"Overlord, Liu Kan is here!"

He looked at Xiang Yu, who was stained with blood, and said in a deep voice: "I have been thinking about today's battle for a long time. If you want to fight, come and fight! ”

Xiang Yu, gritting his steel teeth, roared, and rode his horse to pounce.

And Liu Kan didn't panic, he ordered everyone around him to disperse, and the red rabbit horse under his crotch neighed, dragged Liu Kan, and rushed towards Xiang Yu.

Three years ago, there was a fight between Chitu and Wuhu.

Although they have been separated for three years, these two horses do not seem to have forgotten each other.

A horse roared, the red flag and the dragon halberd exchanged in the air, Xiang Yu and Liu Kan can be described as chess opponents, will meet good talents.

Three years ago, Liu Kan took advantage of stirrups and high saddles to gain a slight upper hand.

Three years later, Xiang Yu was also equipped with a stirrup high saddle, but after all, the water and rice did not enter for a whole day, and coupled with the repeated fierce battles, his physical strength gradually failed.

The two fought for 100 rounds, and Liu Kan suddenly jumped out of the circle.

He looked at Xiang Yu in a daze, and suddenly said, "Overlord, I lost!" ”

"Liu Kan, what do you mean?"

"Three years ago, I had the advantage of being in the stirrups and high saddles, and I was better than you; Fight again today, although you still have the upper hand, but you have fought fiercely...... I know that if you are in full shape, I am afraid that I will not be your opponent...... Therefore, in this battle, it is the overlord who wins! ”

Xiang Yu opened his mouth wide in surprise, in his opinion, as a martial artist, how could he easily admit defeat until the end?

But Liu Kan just admits defeat!

And it is above board, in front of thousands of troops, expressing the admission of defeat......

For a while, Xiang Yu was a little dazed.

"In today's battle, I lost!"

Liu Kan said in a deep voice: "But in today's battle, the overlord was defeated!" ”

Xiang Yu suddenly understood.

That's right, he won, but personally; He was defeated, but he was ruined.

He is pursuing personal glory, but what Liu Kan is pursuing is the victory of the overall situation......

"If the Lone King chased and killed you in the building warehouse back then, what would you do?"

"I'm afraid there is no today!"

Liu Kan suddenly urged the horse, and said in a low voice: "Yu Ji's body, I will properly place it, I don't know what else the overlord wants?" ”

Xiang Yu looked at Liu Kan quietly, and after a while, he looked up to the sky and laughed.

"The crime of non-war, the lonely king of the sky...... Liu Kan, if possible, please bury King Gu and Yu Ji together at the foot of Lai Luo Mountain...... Yu Ji, she loves the beauty of ramie the most. ”

The coiling dragon halberd fell to the ground.

Xiang Yu jumped off the horse, bowed to Liu Kan, and then pulled out the sword under his ribs and killed himself on the spot.

That sword is the male sword of Yu Ji's male and female swords......

The burly body fell in a pool of blood.

On the battlefield, there is silence.

Liu Kan muttered to himself: "Overlord, if there is an afterlife, Kan is willing to be a brother with you and drink three hundred cups!" ”

He got off his horse and picked up Xiang Yu's body.

In history, Xiang Yu died without a corpse; And today, although he could not save his life, he could at least be buried with his beloved.

Yu Xi Yu Xi Na Ruo ......

Liu Kan raised his head and looked south, but in his heart he thought: Ah Huan, Man'er...... Wait for me, I'll be back!
