At the end of the line of sight, countless cavalry of the Qin army wearing bright black armor no longer ran wildly, but tacitly slowed down their horse steps and slowly approached the bank of the river where Xiang Yu's hundreds of remnants were. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info╔╗

A huge dragon banner fluttered high in the cavalry formation due east.

For that big banner, those Qin cavalry with strange things like seats on horseback, Xiang Yu and the hundreds of remaining Jiangdong cavalry are no strangers. The reason why it has fallen into such a world today can be said to be due to these cavalry.

Although the 10,000 Jiangdong Iron Cavalry faced the same number of 10,000 elite cavalry of the Great Qin Caishi Battalion, although they were slightly inferior, the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry was also not afraid at all, and the chase for a day and a night, although the casualties of the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry exceeded that of the Caishi Battalion cavalry, but the Caishi Battalion also suffered a lot of losses. After all, the armor and weapons of both sides are basically the same. And the quality of the soldiers themselves, although Xiang Yu's Jiangdong Iron Cavalry is a little worse, but it is only that little.

Today's Caishi Battalion is still the most elite and brave army in Daqin, after all, this time is not the time for Zhao Gao to completely cover the sky with one hand, and the Caishi Battalion, as the training place of the lieutenant generals and colonels of the Daqin army, has no doubt about its will to fight. ╔╗

If Zhang Liang's departure from the battle was the beginning of Xiang Yu's nightmare, then when tens of thousands of light cavalry of the Qinglong Army rushed to the battlefield and caught up with Xiang Yu's remaining thousands of Jiangdong iron cavalry, it was the arrival of Xiang Yu's nightmare.

Perhaps in terms of morale, the cavalry of the Sergeant Battalion and the cavalry of the Blue Dragon Army are indistinguishable, but in terms of training and equipment, the gap between the two sides can be said to be the difference between heaven and earth. The light cavalry of the Qinglong Army, equipped with saddles, stirrups and horseshoes, was at least more than a hundred years ahead of Xiang Yu's Jiangdong iron cavalry.

After being caught up by the light cavalry of the Qinglong Army, the remaining cavalry of nearly 5,000 cavalry battalions had returned to the rear camp to rest under Hu Hai's orders, and the Qinglong Army, which had caught up, became the main force pursuing Xiang Yu's remnants.

At the beginning, it was only the vanguard of the Qinglong Army who caught up with Xiang Yu, but it was only the vanguard of less than 10,000 people, and just catching up with Xiang Yu's tail made the four thousand Jiangdong cavalry that Xiang Yu finally broke through with a total of more than 1,000 people.

In the next two days, more and more cavalry of the Blue Dragon Army surrounded Xiang Yu, a frantically fleeing Jiangdong cavalry, like wolves smelling blood, and launched a day and night pursuit.

Xiang Yu really regarded this Qin cavalry, which surpassed the Jiangdong cavalry in terms of numbers, armaments, morale, and cavalry riding skills, as a pack of wolves. ╔╗A pack of wolves hunting.

Because the Qin cavalry that caught up behind was not like the cavalry that blocked before, they would often catch up with the Jiangdong cavalry and fight hard. They are not at all like the Jiangdong cavalry. Just let the Jiangdong cavalry not disappear from their sight. Then take the opportunity to act.

In the past two days, whenever the Jiangdong cavalry could not support the backwardness, there would immediately be the Qin cavalry cruising around, and the backward Jiangdong cavalry would be torn to pieces in an instant.

Xiang Yu didn't think about resisting the sharpness of killing these Qin cavalry, which made the Qin cavalry frightened. A day ago, Xiang Yu led the Jiangdong cavalry and chose a group of Qin cavalry to launch a counterattack. More than 2,000 Jiangdong cavalry fought against the Qin cavalry, which was about the same number or even less than the Jiangdong cavalry, but the result was that all the Jiangdong cavalry were terrified. Except that the two armies suffered some damage to each other when they collided. The battle between the two armies was completely one-sided. The Jiangdong cavalry faced the cavalry of the Qin army, which was wielding a strange weapon with dazzling cold light, and they were all cut off their horses like dumplings.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiang Yu, Yingbu, and Long He had excellent combat power, and there were no very strong generals in this Qin army, I am afraid that Xiang Yu's cavalry would have been wiped out a day ago. ╔╗

But even so, after the First World War. Originally, there were more than 2,000 Jiangdong cavalry, but it was directly reduced to less than 1,000. Up to now, there are less than 300 Jiangdong soldiers who are still following Xiang Yu's side.

Look at the dense cavalry of the Qin army slowly approaching, then look at the remaining more than 200 Jiangdong cavalry who can barely stand on their feet around them, and then look at the sparkling Huai River, which is less than 20 zhang wide but empty. Xiang Yu's mouth opened a few times, but he finally found that he couldn't say anything.

There is no boat to cross the river, and if you swim across the water, you will be like committing suicide in this weather, not to mention that the only hundreds of remnants of the army are now left, including Xiang Yu, Yingbu, and Long, and all three of them have more or less one or two scars on their bodies. Although such a scar is not fatal on land, it has become a life-threatening chain when entering the water in such cold weather. The Huai River, which has entered the dry period and is less than 20 zhang wide, is already a moat for Xiang Yu's hundreds of remnants at this moment.

U-turn and counterattack? It's even more to die. The range and power in the hands of the Qin cavalry far exceeded the strong crossbow of the Qin crossbow in the Jiangdong iron cavalry, and the Jiangdong iron cavalry, including Xiang Yu, had tasted it countless times in the past two days. ╔╗ With the Jiangdong cavalry with only a few hundred people left, there is no room for resistance in the face of the strong crossbows of the Qin cavalry.

Swimming across the water, the Huai River, which is only less than 20 zhang wide, can not escape the rain of arrows from the Qin army's strong crossbows.

The low sound of war drums suddenly sounded from the cavalry battle formation of the Blue Dragon Army.

With the beat of the drum, in the desperate eyes of Xiang Yu and others. The dense cavalry of the Blue Dragon Army finally stopped approaching three hundred paces away from where Xiang Yu was standing.

This distance has not yet entered the range of the new hand crossbow equipped by the Green Dragon Army, but the distance of three hundred steps is just a charge for the cavalry of the Green Dragon Army equipped with the three artifacts of the cavalry.

The cavalry of the Blue Dragon Army stopped advancing, causing a commotion among the remaining hundreds of Jiangdong cavalry.

Three days. First was chased by the cavalry of the Caishi Battalion led by Wang Qiao, and then was pursued by the cavalry of the Qinglong Army, which was far more equipped and outnumbered than the cavalry of the Caishi Battalion for two days. ╔╗The only thing that can be done is to stay close together. Xiang Yu, Yingbu, and Long He gathered together. An aura of despair enveloped the hundreds of remaining Koto cavalry.

Xiang Yu looked at the Jiangdong cavalry who were covered with dark red blood stains but still holding their weapons, and a bitter feeling arose for no reason.

once had the ambition to destroy Great Qin and step on the world. It is now in vain. He knew that as long as he gave an order, these Jiangdong disciples who were loyal to the Xiang clan would still charge towards the Qin army desperately, even if they no longer had war horses, even if they couldn't even hold their weapons steadily.

However, from the occasional look of panic on those young, pale faces, it clearly told him how helpless these remaining Jiangdong soldiers were.

Originally, in history, Xiang Yu's 100,000 army finally left only 28 horsemen to follow. Facing hundreds of thousands of Liu Banghan's army, he still followed Xiang Yu to the end. No matter how Xiang Yu himself is, he doesn't say that he becomes a king or loses a king, at least these twenty-eight horsemen are worthy of the name of a hero.

It's just that it's not seven years later after all. Although today's Jiangdong soldiers are already the elite of the Chu army, they are far from the iron-blooded elite horsemen who have been battled for a long time and are not afraid of life and death seven years later. Today's Xiang Yu is also not the Xiang Yu who was ruined, invincible, single-handedly destroyed Daqin, burned Afang Palace, and was named the overlord of Western Chu seven years later.

Xiang Yu may still have arrogance at this moment, and he is still not afraid of life and death. But when today's Jiangdong cavalry is really facing life and death, they may not all have the courage of the 28 cavalry charging hundreds of thousands of Han troops. They will still hesitate, they will still be afraid.

The faces of Xiang Yan, Xiang Liang, Xiang Zhuang, Fan Zeng, Yu Ji and others flashed through Xiang Yu's mind.

The emperor's hegemony and the beauty of the country are just a dream in the end.

When Xiang Yu was outside the object, the sound of war drums in the battle formation of the Blue Dragon Army suddenly stopped. As the war drums stopped, the half-moon-shaped cavalry battle formation of the Blue Dragon Army split into two, and a tall knight rode out.

That knight is the Qinglong General, Xu Chuang.

Xu Chuang rode alone, and under the gaze of hundreds of Jiangdong cavalry, he continued to advance until he was less than two hundred steps away from where Xiang Yu and the others were standing. This distance is beyond the range of the old-fashioned Qin crossbow in the hands of the Jiangdong cavalry.

"On the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, Shouchun is attached, and the thief chief Xiong Xin, Xiang Liang, Zhaotong, Wu Rui, Fan Zeng and others are all captured, and the traitors Xiang Yu and Er are hereby told that as long as the thief Xiang Yu, Yingbu, and Long and the three of them are captured, they can avoid the death penalty of the followers."

Xu Chuang's voice came from afar, and it inevitably caused a strong commotion among the remaining hundreds of Jiangdong cavalry again.

The news of Shouchun, Xiang Liang and others was only known to Xiang Yu and others at this moment. No one thought that the Chu army, which originally thought that it could fight with Great Qin, was wiped out in a few days, and even Xiong Xin, the king of Chu, and Xiang Liang, the general of Chu, were all captured alive by the Qin army. Xiong Xin, Zhaotong, Wu Rui, Fan Zeng and others were captured alive, and no one was surprised, but Xiang Liang was captured alive by Qin Shengsheng and didn't even commit suicide, which was unexpected by many people.

The invincible and fearless prestige of the Xiang clan, although it cannot be said to have collapsed in the hearts of the Chu soldiers, is no longer as indestructible as before.

Xu Chuang's words also told the remaining Chu army soldiers why the Qin army stopped at this time and did not directly use the overwhelming crossbow arrows to shoot themselves and others into hedgehogs.

Emperor Qin wanted to capture Xiang Yu, Yingbu, Long Ji and others alive like Xiang Liang. And as long as the three main generals Xiang Yu, Long Ji, and Yingbu can be captured, then they and others can survive.

It's like a person who falls into a deep pit, and just when he thinks he must starve to death, suddenly someone drops a rope and says that you just need to take off your clothes and climb up the rope and you can live.

What choice would you make? What will be the choice of the remaining Jiangdong cavalry?

At the moment when Xu Chuang's words fell, the remaining hundreds of Jiangdong cavalry, who were almost unstable on their feet, including Long Ji and Yingbu, looked towards Xiang Yu in unison.

Everyone knows that whether they and the others are alive or dead, the key is not between Long Ji and Yingbu, but between Xiang Yu's thoughts.
