Chapter 896: Three Hundred Warriors
The elites replied softly, "We understand!" "Spread out around the waterfall and form a lurking area. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Overlord Xiang Yu took Yu Ji, [Chasing the Wind Four Heroes] and Wang Jianyun to rest for a while, and sure enough, about half an hour later, the dark river inside the waterfall here was actually cut off, although the waterfall outside was still falling, but there was no water on the cliff inside. It can be clearly seen that there is a two-meter-wide hole on the cliff, and the dark river actually flows from here.
Xiang Yu and Wang Jianyun glanced at each other, and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, it seemed that everything in the Overlord Cave was going according to plan.
After about two hours, the horses and soldiers began to come out one after another, and they were really the soldiers of the Chu army who were ambushed in the Overlord Cave, and they were about to come out intermittently, all of them were very embarrassed, but fortunately, the armor and weapons on their bodies were still there, and their combat effectiveness was not lost. The sergeants stayed in the dark river tunnel for a full hour, and when they finally came out to see the sun, they all cheered; Xiang Yu immediately shouted, "Hugh is loud, there is a Han army searching around here!" ā
When the Chu soldiers who came out of the Overlord Cave saw that Xiang Yu and Wang Jianyun were waiting for them under the waterfall, they all quieted down, jumped from the cliff into the pool in an orderly manner, and then swam to the river bank next to them. The Chu army was originally good at water warfare, and this bit of water did not pose any threat to everyone, but the weather was quite cold, and the sergeants were soaked in clothes and armor, and they were not lightly frozen, and they jumped one after another after going ashore to increase body heat and resist the cold.
After another half an hour, about 3,000 Chu troops swam out one after another. No one came out later, Xiang Yu was shocked, and asked the last group of soldiers: "What about General Zhou Lan and General Shen Long?" Why didn't the others come out? ā
The last group of about 300 soldiers knelt on the ground and cried: "Report to King Xiang, General Shen Long, not to mention the general and the Han army's nearly 50,000 troops fought in the Overlord Cave, the entire Overlord Cave is full of corpses, our army of about 5,000 people were all killed, and the Han army casualties are also more than 30,000. In order to command everyone to retreat, General Zhou Lan personally commanded the broken stream and released water to snipe the Han army in the cave, and finally, General Shen Long blew up the entrance to the Overlord Cave, and General Zhou Lan led 500 people to destroy the exit of the dark river with boulders. At present, the entire Overlord Cave is full of water, and the remaining 20,000 Han troops are estimated to be difficult to escape! ā
Xiang Yu listened, and his heart ached! These generals are the elite of the eight thousand soldiers he brought out from Jiangdong, and now they are dying one after another, from Long Ji, Long Wei, Zhou Lan, Shen Long, Lu Congfei, etc., they are all meat in the palm of their hands! These brothers, following Xiang Yu through a hundred battles, can be killed safely, and now, the soldiers have left in advance, and a sense of pathos arises spontaneously!
Xiang Yu didn't speak, was silent for a moment, and motioned for the army to rest a little.
Later, he raised his head and looked at the surrounding peaks, at this time it was almost noon in Jiuli Mountain, although the weather was a little cold, but the sun still shone indifferently on the earth, the mountains were picturesque, and people had no intention of appreciating them.
Xiang Yu pondered for a moment and said: "The army listened to the order, and our army fought along the secret path when entering Jiuli Mountain, and if it was blocked, after killing and wounding the Han army, they all changed into Han army clothes and forcibly broke through. Although our army made some sacrifices this time, we successfully killed Han Xin, the generalissimo of the Han army, and killed tens of thousands of enemies. We quickly broke through the siege, returned to the wall, and then reorganized the army to fight a decisive battle with the Han army! ā
The army replied in a low voice: "No! Obey King Xiang's military orders! ā
At the end of the arrangement, the soldiers dressed in Han army uniforms walked in front, and the rest of the army followed behind, and began to urgently march along the secret path in the mountains. At this time, the Infant Cavalry Team who were searching around Jiuli Mountain actually found this waterfall, and when he found the traces of a large number of people and horses passing on both sides of the waterfall, he decisively determined that Xiang Yu's troops had stayed here, so he began to pursue at full speed along the trajectory of the Chu army. However, the whereabouts of the Chu army were very secretive, and the rear army often deliberately arranged suspicious formations or cleared up the trailing clues, which created a lot of trouble for the pursuit of the baby.
Besides, [Fan Xu], who was originally on the top of Baofeng Mountain and was ordered to observe the movements of the Chu army and issue a marching signal, also encountered some trouble, and he failed to send any signals at all, which is also the reason why General Guan Ying could not complete the pursuit. Why didn't you send any signals from the Chu army? It turned out that there was a problem with the signal post of Baofeng Mountain, and it was pulled out by the general Xiang Zhuang leading 5,000 elite troops, long before Xiang Yu entered the mountain, he arranged for Xiang Zhuang to lead 5,000 elite cavalry, detour to the north side of Jiuli Mountain, and copy the back road of the Han army from the back of the mountain.
Xiang Zhuang is not stupid, after entering the mountain, he found a hidden place to hide the war horse, and then along the way the troops were divided into pieces, sneak attack the Han army, and ordered all the soldiers to change into Han army uniforms after killing the Han army, and tie a red cloth on the right wall to show the difference. The operation went smoothly, because the Han army received the news that they were preparing for the Chu army to come out of the main peak area of Tuanshan, but they did not expect a special task force to secretly come out behind.
The people led by Xiang Zhuang shot more ruthlessly, kept grabbing live mouths all the way, asked about the path and the distribution of the Han army, and then killed them easily, and found out the defense situation in the Baofeng Mountain area very smoothly.
