With the death of Yingbu, the battle of Xiangxian soon came to an end, and no one fled from the more than 2,000 Huainan defeated soldiers who swore to follow Yingbu, and no one knelt down to beg to surrender, all of them fought to the last moment, and they fulfilled their original blood oath at the cost of their lives and blood: in order to protect Yingbu, they fought to the last moment of their lives!

Seeing that so many Huai army soldiers would rather follow Yingbu underground than kneel and beg to surrender, Jin Xiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Yingbu can become one of the anti-Qin heroes of the Eighteen Roads, and it is not for nothing that Yingbu can fight a bloody way to become a famous prince and king in the troubled times, but it is a pity that he chose the wrong camp, he really shouldn't be the enemy of Da Chu!

At that moment, Jin Xiang took a deep look at Yingbu's headless corpse, and ordered his brother Jin Zhong to pick up Yingbu's head from more than a dozen steps away and put it on Yingbu's neck again, and then let people go to the city to collect wooden planks and nail a thin coffin, and bury Yingbu hastily.

The tiger athletes were busy cleaning the battlefield, but Jin Xiang took out the bag given by Bi Shu before leaving from his arms, and the general said before leaving that this bag could only be opened after capturing Xiangxian and killing Yingbu, but he didn't know what was inside? At that moment, Jin Xiang carefully opened the bag.

Clan brother Jin Zhong came up and asked, "Brother, what's in it?" ”

Jin Zhong is Jin Xiang's distant brother, since Jin Xiang became the general of the Chu State, there have been distant relatives and close neighbors from Liang to Jiangdong to join him, Jin Xiang is a very nostalgic person, so these distant relatives and close neighbors are all taken in the house, and some children with good qualifications are selected to cultivate.

This Jin Zhong is the best of the Jin family's children, and he has already become a tiger guard at a young age.

Jin Xiang ignored Jin Zhong, took out a secret letter from his bag and carefully browsed it, and then Jin Xiang's face surged with unprecedented excitement. He whispered to himself: "Good guy, the military advisor's skill is really big enough, he is going to boil the 600,000 Han troops in Nanyang in one pot!" ”

Jin Zhong's heart was shaken, and he asked urgently, "Brother, there is still a battle?" ”

Jin Xiang sighed noncommittally and instructed Jin Zhong: "You go and call General Ji Xin." ”

"Whoa!" Jin Zhong agreed to take the order, and after a while, he led Ji Xin to Jin Xiang, who was the younger brother of Lou Xiang Hou Jibu. is also a famous general in the Chu army, Xiang Zhuang was divided into Huan Chu, Ji Bu and Zhou Yin, etc., in fact, it was equivalent to depriving these generals of their military rights in disguise, as compensation, Ji Xin entered the Tiger Benwei as the deputy general of Jin Xiang.

"General!" Ji Xin shook Jin Xiang respectfully, he was a little older than Jin Xiang, and the two did not have any comparison in terms of qualifications, when Ji Xin followed Xiang Yu and charged, Jin Xiang was still playing with mud in the beams, but in front of Jin Xiang, Ji Xin still didn't dare to be too big. In any case, Jin Xiang is one of the best generals in Great Chu.

Jin Xiang waved his hand in return, and said in a deep voice: "General Ji Xin, the Tiger Army will be handed over to you." After a short rest in Xiangxian, you can return to Pengcheng with the army and listen to the dispatch under the general tent of the sub-period. ”

"Whoa!" Ji Xin agreed without thinking, and said in surprise, "What about you, general?" ”

Jin Xiang's eyebrows suddenly bloomed with a strange look, and he said solemnly: "You go and choose three thousand tiger ben to stay with me." Don't ask anything else. ”

"Whoa!" Ji Xin gave up again. I went with a lot of questions.

Seeing Ji Xin's figure go away, Jin Zhong said excitedly: "Brother, is there really a big battle?" ”

"Hehe, isn't it just a big battle?" Jin Xiang smiled cruelly and said in a deep voice, "This time, my brother has to cooperate with the king, the military advisor and the general to play a game of chess to destroy the country, and we have three thousand tigers." will be one of the two most important pieces! ”…,

"One of the two most important chess pieces?!" Jin Zhong was stunned and said. "And who is the other chess piece?"

"You don't care about that." Jin Xiang waved his hand and said coldly. "Hurry up and rest and eat!"

Northern Shu, Jinniu Pass.

Gao Chu was dressed in a civilian robe, and was pacing back and forth in Guanchengtou with his hands behind his back.

The mountain wind hunted, swinging the long willow whiskers under Gao Chu's chin and the clothes and robes on his body, there were faint and a few dusty elegant postures, at this moment, if people who didn't know each other saw it, they thought that Gao Chu was a well-educated showman, and no one would have thought that he would be a general who commanded thousands of armies and killed countless people.

To be honest, at this time, Gao Chu's heart was quite unpleasant.

The prince personally mentioned that the 400,000 army was confronting Liu Bang's 600,000 Han army in Nanyang, and the general also led the 200,000 army to fight in Pengcheng with Han Xin and Yingbu's Qihuai coalition army.

At this time, the war machine of the whole country has been fully operational, everyone is fighting, but he is still guarding the Golden Bull Pass, as if forgotten by everyone, in fact, Gao Chu does not care about being forgotten by others, the key is that the king can't forget him, he is the number one general of the Great Chu State!

Looking at the winding and rugged Taurus Road ahead, Gao Chu couldn't help but sigh.

"Why does the general sigh? But because there is no battle to fight?! A clear voice suddenly came from behind him, and there was no need to look back, Gao Chu knew that it was his staff member Xu Jiang.

"By the way, do you think the king really forgot me?" Gao Chu nodded and sighed.

"But I thought the general was a little obsessed." Xu Jiang smiled slightly, took another half step forward and stood beside Gao Chu, and then pointed to a Zheng Zheng ancient pine protruding from the cliff under the Guancheng, and then said, "General, have you seen that ancient pine?" No matter the wind or rain, no matter the cold or heat, it will always stand there, the same for a hundred years. ”

Gao Chu was shocked when he heard this, he can have today's achievements, in addition to being Xiang Zhuang's personal soldier background, plus strong martial arts and outstanding archery skills, more importantly, his understanding is excellent, so he immediately understood Xu Jiang's strings, Xu Jiang was clearly using Gu Song to advise him to maintain a calm mentality, and not to be pampered and arrogant.

"You mean......" Gao Chu looked sideways at Xu Jiang and said in a deep voice, "The king has become suspicious of me?" ”

"Not really." Xu Jiang shook his head resolutely and said, "The king has a lot of trust in the general, at least so far, there is no suspicion of the general, if you are not mistaken, the king transferred the general to the Golden Bull Pass before the Chu and Han Wars, it is definitely an unusual move, there must be another mystery here!" ”

"Another mystery?" Gao Chu said in a deep voice, "What mystery? ”

Xu Jiang smiled bitterly: "This, but I can't guess it." ”

Gao Chu groaned: "Could it be that you want me to intercept Hanzhong and threaten Guanzhong by surprise?" However, Gao Chu quickly denied his speculation, not to mention that there were at least 50,000 Han troops stationed in Hanzhong, and there were also generals Fu Kuan and Wang Su, which were fortresses built by the Han army outside the north exit of Jinniu Road, which was enough for the Chu army to have a headache, and it was not easy to surprise Hanzhong.

Xu Jiang was speechless, he really couldn't guess Baili Xian's plan, but then again, if even he could see through Bai Li Xian's plan, then Bai Lixian's level would be too inferior, how could he be qualified for the important task of the Chu army's military advisor? How could it be the opponent of peerless strategists like Zhang Liang and Chen Ping?

At this time, the broken army suddenly hurriedly climbed to the top of the city.

"General!" Po Jun Chong Gao Chu bowed his hand, and said solemnly, "The king is in a hurry!" ”

After that, Po Jun carefully took out a bag from his arms and handed it to Gao Chu, Gao Chu took it with some confusion, and carefully opened the bag again, took out a secret letter from it, and hurriedly read the secret letter, Gao Chu was overjoyed and said: "I know that it is impossible for the king to forget me, haha, hahahaha......"...,

Looking at Gao Chu, who was laughing loudly, Po Jun couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "General, but there is a battle?" ”

"Hmm." Gao Chu nodded, patted Xu Jiang's shoulder heavily, and said, "Shunzhi, I really let you say it, the king ordered General Ben to garrison Jinniu Pass, and he really has another deep meaning, hehe." After that, Gao Chu ordered Pojun Dao again, "Pojun, you immediately go and select three thousand elite veterans, and then prepare half a month's worth of dry food!" ”

"Whoa!" The broken army suddenly agreed and hurriedly received the order.

The last quiet night was about to pass, and the clouds of the great battle had already covered the sky of the entire Nanyang County.

Jiang Ji's fleet of sailors had arrived at the bay where the Chu army's camp was located, and in the dark night, the Chu army was busy carrying a heavy repeater crossbow onto the warship, and then fastening it to the bow of the warship with large iron nails, and in order to keep the warship balanced, many heavy objects were placed in the middle and stern of the cabin.

These weights can also be used to adjust the angle of fire of the repeater when necessary, because increasing or decreasing the weight at the stern will inevitably cause the bow to rise or sag, so that the angle of fire of the repeater will change, and whether the shooting accuracy of the repeater will be affected is not within the consideration of the Chu army.

Indeed, small crossbows such as arm crossbows, waist crossbows, and crossbows all win with precision, while large crossbows have never been precision strike weapons, and large crossbows rely on ultra-long range, super penetration and a wide range of coverage and damage, after all, in the face of giant arrows with the thickness of the arm, as long as they are next to each other, it is enough to kill!

When the sky finally dawned, nearly 1,000 repeater crossbows were finally moved to the naval warships, two or more repeating crossbows were installed on more than 200 large ships, and one repeater was installed on more than 400 small boats, and the more than 600 large and small warships of the naval army were transformed into crossbow ships in an instant.

In the thin morning light, the more than 600 large and small warships of the Chu State Navy were divided into two teams, like two groups of hideous giant crocodiles with fangs exposed, cruising back and forth in the cold river water.
