Chapter 54: Grain and Grass Burned

In fact, from Xiang Yu breaking into the camp to kill He Qing, to the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry tearing the fence of the camp and strangling the Qin army's foot soldiers, Xiang Yu did not go too deep into the Qin army's formation, wandering on the edge of the camp and waiting for the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry to enter the camp.

More than 100 catties of "10,000 enemies" spears were running like flying in Xiang Yu's hands, and the soldiers of the Qin army were injured and killed when they touched them, and the speed at which Xiang Yu broke through the encirclement of the Qin army was even faster than the speed of more than 2,000 Jiangdong iron cavalry rushing forward.

Jiangdong Iron Cavalry saw the direction of Xiang Yu's sudden advance and immediately knew Xiang Yu's intentions, in the eyes of these Jiangdong Iron Cavalry, it was obvious that Xiang Yu's weight far exceeded the weight of Wang Li's camp, and the momentum of the sudden killing was crazy in an instant.

The phalanx of the Qin army's foot soldiers, who had just stopped and was still crowded together, was caught off guard, and was suddenly rushed by the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry, and immediately fell down, and the remaining soldiers separated to both sides like waves, temporarily avoiding the edge.

After a while, Xiang Yu and the remaining more than 1,000 Jiangdong Iron Cavalry had already converged.

Looking at the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry, who was mostly sparsely wounded, a trace of gloom flashed on Xiang Yu's murderous face, and then became hideous. All this was caused by the Qin people!

"Wait for me to kill! Step through the Qin camp! Kill! ”

Xiang Yu raised the "10,000 enemies" in his hand and shouted, and then his legs clamped the belly of the black horse and rushed out first.

With Xiang Yu as an arrowhead, and the foot soldiers of the Eastern Battalion were only equipped with a small number of long-handled weapons such as Changge and Beryllium, and the rest were all equipment suitable for hand-to-hand combat such as short swords and small shields, it was suddenly more difficult to resist.

Soon, more than 1,000 Jiangdong iron cavalry, under the leadership of Xiang Yu, had already carved the Qin army's infantry phalanx, and Xiang Yu took the lead and turned around again, taking advantage of the chaos of the Qin army's formation, to kill it again.

The soldiers of the Qin army where Xiang Yu and the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry passed flashed to the side, and after the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry passed, they closed again and slowly reorganized the formation. This reduced the casualties caused by Xiang Yu's second charge a lot.

Seeing that Xiang Yu and Jiangdong Iron Cavalry, who had already killed each other again, wanted to do it again, they rushed to kill in the Qin army's infantry phalanx, as if they were in a no-man's land, which suddenly aroused the anger of the Qin army generals.

"Crossbow!"

One member of the two or five hundred lords burst into applause.

Hearing this explosion, the soldiers of the Qin army reflexively shot the strong crossbow in their hands at the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry who was about to break the Qin formation three times.

has been in constant fighting, so only the strong crossbows in the hands of hundreds of people have good crossbow arrows, and under the explosion of the two or five hundred masters, only some people have shot the crossbow arrows in their hands in a hurry.

More than 100 crossbow arrows flew up one after another from the Qin army's formation, easily piercing the simple armor on the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry, and dozens of people fell from their horses to the ground one after another.

And the infantry of the Qin army, who had been in close contact with the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry, was hit by this sudden crossbow arrow, and more than 20 people fell to the ground with arrows. The reason why he had not used a strong crossbow to attack Xiang Yu and the others before was because he was afraid that he would hurt his own people.

But obviously, at this time, the generals of the Qin army couldn't take care of so much.

The Jiangdong Iron Cavalry was killed by the Qin army was the Pao Ze brothers' neighbors, and the Qin soldiers were also killed by the Pao Ze brothers' neighbors, and both sides had already killed each other.

It was another dozens of Jiangdong Iron Cavalry Cavalry Roman's screams before his death, which suddenly made Xiang Yu, who had been completely filled with infinite killing intent, wake up with a spirit, and looked at the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry with less than a thousand riders behind him, Xiang Yu's steel teeth clenched.

"Follow General Ben!"

Xiang Yu suddenly turned his horse's head and used 10,000 enemies to insert a long wooden fence that was still burning and rushed towards the depths of the camp, and the remaining Jiangdong iron cavalry of less than 1,000 people followed.

The tents along the way were lit by Xiang Yu one after another.

Without Xiang Yu's orders, the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry behind already knew what Xiang Yu wanted to do, and they all used the fire fold in their hands to ignite the feather arrows soaked in fire oil and set fire to the big tents.

The sky-high flames suddenly rose from all over Dongying, and spread rapidly with the gallop of Xiang Yu and his party.

The sudden escape of Xiang Yu's more than 1,000 iron cavalry was greatly unexpected by the Qin soldiers, and when they reacted, Xiang Yu and his party had already run far away, and it was obviously impossible for the foot soldiers to chase the cavalry.

However, the action of the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry igniting the big tent suddenly made the Qin soldiers panic.

"Fight the fire! Fight the fire! ”

The soldiers of the Qin army watched as the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry set fire all the way, and the remaining thousands of soldiers hurriedly threw up the big tent that had already been lit. The East Camp was suddenly in chaos.

The fire that broke out in the East Camp immediately attracted the attention of Yang Xiong, who was still shooting at the more than 2,000 Jiangdong Iron Cavalry in front of the camp gate. The sound of thunderous hooves gradually became clear from far and near, and with the sound of hooves, the fire was spreading towards the camp.

Yang Xiong's face changed drastically!

Obviously, the eastern camp has been broken into by a rebel cavalry, and the rebels have broken through the barrier of more than 7,000 Qin soldiers, broke into the camp, and began to set fire to the camp everywhere.

If it was just the burning camp, Yang Xiong was not too worried, the key was the Beida Camp built against the mountain behind the Zhongda Battalion.

Once this rebel army rushed into the Beida camp and set fire to the grain and grass baggage, then the 100,000 army that fell into the situation of no grain did not need the rebels to attack, but could only retreat and let the rebels cross the river.

Yang Xiong shuddered when he thought of this consequence!

If that time really comes, then he, the camp master appointed by Wang Li, will really die a hundred deaths!

"You immediately ride the general's war horse out of the camp from the gap in the east camp and go to tell the general that the camp has been attacked!" Yang Xiong pulled one of the guards who was guarding him and said loudly.

The guard obviously knew that the matter was urgent, and even forgot to answer the "喀" and flew over Yang Xiong's war horse and left.

"He Yu! Ben will give you 2,000 soldiers, and you will not be allowed to let these more than 1,000 rebels rush in from the main gate of the camp! Otherwise, you'll see you later! Ben was going to personally lead 4,000 soldiers to the Beida camp to guard the grain and grass! ”

"Whoa!"

He Yu is He Qing's younger brother, and when he heard Yang Xiong's order, he simply responded.

Yang Xiong didn't talk nonsense, and then led nearly 4,000 Qin army foot soldiers to rush to the Beida camp at the rear of the camp.

Xiang Yu is indeed looking for a place where Wang Li's army stores grain and grass at this moment, but how difficult it is for the huge battalion of 100,000 soldiers to find the camp where the grain and grass are stored, but fortunately, now the inside of Wang Li's camp can be said to be extremely empty, and only a few Qin troops with less than 100 people have blocked it along the way, but they were all slaughtered by the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, Xiang Yu led more than a thousand Jiangdong iron cavalry to set fire all the way to the camp of the Chinese army.

Passing through the East Camp, there are two large camps, the Middle Camp and the North Camp. Xiang Yu looked at the two camps in the middle and south on the road where the three camps intersected, thinking about which camp to burn first.

"Buzz!" A sharp whistling suddenly came from the direction of Beidaying.

"Scatter!" Xiang Yu was shocked when he heard this voice, and shouted bitterly. As he spoke, he drove the black horse in the direction of the northern camp.

"Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!"

This time Xiang Yu was not so lucky, the spear he was holding blocked a lot of crossbow arrows, but there were still three crossbow arrows that tore through the armor on his body and penetrated into his body, and three small crossbow arrows eight inches long were on Xiang Yu's arms, shoulders and thighs, and nearly half of them were submerged in the flesh and blood.

Xiang Yu's robe was stained red with blood in an instant!

Xiang Yu didn't look back at the series of screams of the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry behind him, just listening to the voice, he knew that this sudden attack must have suffered heavy casualties! Xiang Yu drove a war horse with 10,000 enemies in one hand, and pulled out the three crossbow arrows inserted in his body with lightning in the other hand.

Three strands of blood sword burst out with the drawing of the crossbow arrow! In the light of the camp's skyrocketing fire, you can even clearly see the strips of meat hanging on the three sharp barbs of the crossbow arrows!

Xiang Yu opened his mouth and tore off the piece of his own flesh hanging on the barb, threw out the crossbow arrow in his hand, opened his eyes and chewed his flesh and blood, and rushed towards the North Daying camp with his eyes open!

The more than 1,000 Jiangdong iron cavalry in the rear suddenly went half under the attack of a round of crossbow arrows in the Beida camp, and the remaining more than 500 Jiangdong iron cavalry silently looked at the robe that was still screaming on the ground, and silently followed Xiang Yu and rushed towards the Beida camp.

Xiang Yu in a state of madness is terrifying! What's more, the two thousand Qin soldiers in the Beida camp were already disturbed by the fires burning around the camp, and Xiang Yu, who was covered in blood, couldn't help but feel afraid.

However, the strictness of the Qin army's military discipline still made them muster up the courage to meet them bravely.

More than a dozen figures came quickly, and they went back quickly! was swept away by Xiang Yu's 10,000 enemies, all of them became shrimp-like, spewing out a large mouth in the air and smashing into the Qin army's army formation with the dirty blood attached inside.

"Whoosh!"

Hundreds of rockets flew out from the rushing Jiangdong Iron Cavalry Formation, and shot towards the camps in various places in the Beida Camp.

Seeing this, the lieutenant who led the army of the Beida Battalion suddenly burst into tears, "Fight the fire!" As he spoke, he turned around and went to extinguish the big tent that had been caught on fire by an arrow and stored the grain and grass of the 100,000 army!

When the defenders of the Beida Battalion heard this captain's order, they immediately made a mess, and there were many cavalry in front of them who were like crazy demons to kill them, and the grain and grass guarded by themselves in the rear were on fire, which was really a dilemma!

The Qin army's generals shouted bitterly Xiang Yu heard it very clearly, and immediately made Xiang Yu affirm the speculation that the camp here was the place where the grain and grass were stored, and the Qin army, which was in a state of chaos at the moment, how could Xiang Yu give up this great opportunity!

Ten thousand enemies opened the way, and Xiang Yu and his men and horses rushed into the formation of the Qin army, rushing left and right to slash and kill in all directions! The remaining more than 500 Jiangdong iron horsemen grabbed their longbows and brandished their spears, and slammed into the gap that Xiang Yu had broken through!

The order of the commander of the Qin army helped Xiang Yu a lot!

The foot soldiers of the Qin army, who could not take care of each other, could not form an effective phalanx to resist the advance of the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry led by Xiang Yu, and they were pierced by the Qin army blocked in front of the Beida Camp by the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry in a moment!

"Kill!"

After penetrating the Qin army, Xiang Yu rushed into the camp without stopping, picked up the fire and began to set fire everywhere, and more than 500 Jiangdong iron cavalry no longer formed a formation, but did birds and beasts and began to set fire to food everywhere in the northern camp!
