While the remaining hundreds of Jiangdong cavalry looked at Xiang Yu, Yingbu and Long He also set their eyes on Xiang Yu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.infoββ
Both of them are very self-aware, and they know very well that with their identities, they can obviously only be used as Xiang Yu's foil, and the person Qin Huang really wants to capture is only Xiang Yu. The reason why he added the two of them was completely as a foil to give Xiang Yu a step.
And since Xiong Xin and Xiang Liang can be captured alive, it is obviously not a big deal for us little minions to be captured.
This thought not only appeared in the hearts of Yingbu and Long Ji, but also in the minds of the remaining hundreds of Jiangdong cavalry.
What Xu Chuang said, Xiang Yu listened to it all. At this moment, seeing Long Ji and the others, especially the remaining hundreds of shaky Jiangdong cavalry, with a slightly excited look in their eyes, Xiang Yu, who was already ready to fight to the death, couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
More than 100,000 Jiangdong disciples who followed the Xiang clan as the absolute main force at the beginning, although they were lucky to kill Wang Li in the battle of the Huai River, but nearly 50,000 people were killed, and more than 20,000 people were disabled, and the remaining less than 30,000 Jiangdong children went through the battle of Chen County and the battle of Chengwu, and now, the Jiangdong children who followed Xiang Liang from Huiji to leave their hometown to join the anti-Qin wave are less than 20,000.
Although with the restoration of the Chu State, more than 100,000 Jiangdong Chu people joined the army one after another, but the Jiangdong children who first followed Xiang Liang to oppose Qin were the absolute elite of the Chu army. ββ
In order to let Xiang Yu disturb the situation in Daqin, Shandong and other places, and relieve the pressure faced by Shouchun Chudi, the remaining Jiangdong soldiers of less than 20,000 people were all transferred by Xiang Liang to follow Xiang Yu north.
In the first battle of Xuyi, 40,000 Jiangdong Chu people and 50,000 Baiyue barbarians with a total of 90,000 foot soldiers were lost, and 20,000 Jiangdong soldiers who survived through the Huai River to this day, 10,000 foot soldiers, and 10,000 cavalry.
90,000 foot soldiers were lost in a battle, and on the chaotic battlefield, bloody battles. As an elite existence, the 40,000 Jiangdong Chu army has been rushing to the forefront. How many people were able to survive Xiang Yu didn't know.
The 10,000 Jiangdong Iron Cavalry who followed Xiang Yu through the Battle of the Huai River can be said to be the last remaining soldiers of more than 100,000 Jiangdong soldiers who experienced the Battle of the Huai River. And it is the only remaining 10,000 Jiangdong iron horsemen in this fruitful achievement, and there are only less than 300 people left so far.
More than 9,700 Jiangdong soldiers died tragically in front of Xiang Yu's eyes.
Should he pull these Jiangdong disciples who shed their blood for the Xiang clan in order to fulfill their reputation, Xiang Yu, is really hesitant at this moment.
In a lifetime, there will inevitably be a pure land in the deepest part of everyone's heart. ββ
This pure land may be love, maybe family, maybe friendship, or maybe someone, something, a promise, or an ideal, or an obsession.
Looking at these Jiangdong disciples who were almost unstable, and looking at the complicated eyes in their eyes that were either apprehensive or excited, hesitant or expectant, the scenes of dozens of Jiangdong soldiers killed outside Chengwu City appeared in Xiang Yu's mind for no reason.
The Jiangdong guards who were killed by Xiang Yu were mixed with disbelief, anger, fear, doubt, and hatred, and Long He's strange and disappointed eyes appeared in front of Xiang Yu's eyes in many midnight dreams in the past few months, making Xiang Yu suffer over and over again, and making Xiang Yu unable to sleep again and again.
In the past few months, Xiang Yu has lost weight at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. Although he still has the courage to be unstoppable. But the mental exhaustion can be seen by anyone.
Xiang Yu has his own pride and his own pursuit.
At this moment, when everything was empty in the emperor's hegemony and the beauties of the country, Xiang Yu suddenly realized how stupid his previous insistence was. Dozens of Jiangdong disciples who were born and died in order to protect him and the Xiang clan were killed by themselves because of the reputation of the young general.
"Major General, the last general is invited to fight!"
As a brother who grew up with Xiang Yu since childhood, Long He knows Xiang Yu's temperament. ββ also knew that because of the words of the Qin general, Xiang Yu was in a dilemma.
On one side is the lives of hundreds of Jiangdong cavalry, and on the other side is the pride and persistence in Xiang Yu's heart.
The success of the martial arts has drawn a gap between the two brothers that seems to be forever unhealable. After returning from Chengwu, Long Ji never drank and ate meat with Xiang Yu as before, and most of the time he either stayed in the barracks or went out to return to Wu County.
When he returned to Wu County for the first time, he once saw Xiang Yu. That was also the first time that Xiang Yu had asked Xiang Yu in the more than 20 years he had known Long Yu.
Return to Wu County together and arrange the families of the dozens of Jiangdong guards.
Long Ji's request was exchanged for Xiang Yu's silence. In the end, Long Ji returned to Wu County alone.
Although Xiang Yu did not come, everything Long He did in Wu County was in the name of Xiang Yu. These Xiang Yu also know.
Today, when Xiang Yu was faced with a choice again, Long He stood by Xiang Yu's side without hesitation. ββ He believes that Cheng Wu's incident was not Xiang Yu's original intention. It was the change of power and status that changed Xiang Yu. He also believed that with the crime of rebellion against himself and others, even if he was caught in the end, he would also be taken off by Daqin.
Therefore, when Xiang Yu hesitated, he made a choice for Xiang Yu.
Hearing Long Ji's words, the Jiangdong cavalry, who had originally looked a little loose, were all shocked, and while their eyes showed disappointment, they quietly clenched the weapons in their hands.
Not wanting to die does not mean that you are afraid of death.
"Generals obey orders!"
Xiang Yu, who was silent for a while, glanced at Long Ji, his eyes swept over the Jiangdong cavalry who were extremely weak and supported each other to stand, and suddenly shouted loudly.
"The last general!"
Long Ji, Yingbu and a group of Jiangdong cavalry responded in unison, and at the same time as answering the order, the bodies of the Jiangdong cavalry were ready for the last charge, even if everyone knew that within a few steps, they and others would die under the rain of crossbow arrows of the Qin army falling from the sky.
"I, Xiang Yu ordered you to put down your weapons and remove your armor...... Surrender! β
When the word "surrender" was said at the end, Xiang Yu's voice trembled slightly. ββ
It was an order that came as no surprise to all. But it was also an order that made everyone happy.
"Major General......
"Don't persuade again, I've made up my mind!" Xiang Yu raised his hand to interrupt Long He is words, and looked at Long He quietly and said.
I don't know why, looking at Xiang Yu's calm eyes, Long He once again felt unprecedented strangeness.
Xiang Yu, who finished speaking, raised his right hand, and the 10,000 people who had never left his body disappeared into the rolling Huai River with a roaring "poof". Then he turned and walked out of the military formation to the front of the formation, and threw the armor on his body one by one and threw it on the ground, leaving only a sword hanging from his waist.
The Jiangdong cavalry, who had been watching Xiang Yu, exclaimed in surprise when they saw Xiang Yu's movements. Everyone knows what it means for 10,000 people to be hostile to Xiang Yu. At this moment, Xiang Yu was thrown into the Huai River without any regret, obviously Xiang Yu had already made up his mind to surrender.
Xiang Yu, who had done all this, turned around and quietly looked at the Jiangdong cavalry. Under Xiang Yu's gaze, the Chu army gradually quieted down.
"Poof!"
Under Xiang Yu's gaze, a Jiangdong cavalryman slowly walked out, put down his weapons, took off his armor and threw it to the ground. Xiang Yu took two steps back to make way for the road. The Jiangdong cavalry was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiang Yu deeply, and then walked towards the Qinglong army formation.
This was followed by the second Jiangdong cavalry, the third, and the fourth......
However, in a moment, the remaining two hundred and eighty-three Jiangdong cavalry had already laid down their weapons and disarmed, and surrendered to the Qinglong Army.
On the bank of the Huai River, there are only three left: Xiang Yu, Long He and Yingbu.
Xu Chuang didn't know what choice Xiang Yu would make. But Xiang Yu's final surrender made Xu Chuang despise Xiang Yu in his heart.
He didn't understand why the emperor would attach so much importance to Xiang Yu, and in the edict he sent, he specifically explained that as long as Xiang Yu surrendered, he would be well guarded and not insulted, and if he committed suicide, he would also save his body and wait for the emperor to come in person without trouble and surrender to the Chu army.
For such a defeated general who is greedy for life and afraid of death, Xu Chuang looks down on him.
The Jiangdong cavalry that marched to the front of the Qinglong Army was guarded by the Qinglong Army, but they were not brought down or bound. At the same time, the seriously injured Jiangdong cavalry has been temporarily treated by the military doctor of the Qinglong Army who accompanied the army.
The actions of the Qinglong Army made all the Jiangdong cavalry who surrendered secretly breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
All the Jiangdong cavalry has surrendered, and now there are only three people left: Xiang Yu, Yingbu, and Long He.
At this moment, the armor and weapons of Long Ji and Yingbu were also removed.
"Brother Long Ji, you can go too. I have something to say to General Yingbu! Xiang Yu looked at Yingbu, but the words were said to Long Ji.
Long He's mouth squirmed slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything, he also looked at Xiang Yu deeply, and took a step towards the Qinglong army formation.
"Brother Long Ji, brothers in Jiangdong, I, Xiang Yu, can't stand you!"
Xiang Yu's explosion came from behind Long He.
The dragon's body shook and looked back suddenly. I saw Xiang Yu facing himself and the hundreds of Jiangdong cavalry who were already in front of the Qin army.
The words fell, and when he got up, a dazzling cold light flashed.
"Ahh
With an earth-shattering scream, a column of hot blood rose into the sky.
Looking at it again, Yingbu's head standing beside Xiang Yu flew out, and Yingbu, who was wide-eyed in a daze, couldn't seem to believe that Xiang Yu would suddenly attack him at this time and at this time.
"Plop!" With a bang, Yingbu's head fell into the Huai River, splashed a splash of blood, and then disappeared.
Xiang Yu, who unexpectedly killed Yingbu with the sword at his waist, grabbed his hair bun with his left hand in his eyes and slashed his neck with his right hand.
Another pillar of blood rose to the sky, with wisps of white steam.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of cavalry of the Qinglong Army, under the gaze of hundreds of Jiangdong cavalry, under the gaze of Xu Chuang, and under the gaze of Long Ji, Xiang Yu grabbed his left hand in a bun, held his head, and sent it out to the dragon from afar.
