Chapter 456: The soldiers pointed directly at Ziling
The war has finally come to an end. [Literature]
Xiang Zhuang conservatively estimated that there were at least more than 100,000 Han troops killed in battle or trampled on each other, almost 200,000 prisoners of war who knelt on the ground and begged to surrender, and almost 100,000 routs scattered between the mountains and fields.
However, Xiang Zhuang is most concerned about Liu Bang's life and death.
Whether or not Liu Bang is captured or killed will directly affect the next reunification process.
If Liu Bang is captured or killed, then the Han State is likely to have civil strife, even if the Han State is not in civil strife, it will definitely be people's hearts floating, and then the resistance encountered by the Chu army when attacking Guanzhong will be much smaller, if Liu Bang is not dead, when the next attack on Guanzhong, I am afraid that there will be a fierce battle between Chu and Han.
"Have you ever captured Liu Bang?"
"Have you ever killed Liu Bang?"
"Where is the Han King?"
"Where is Liu Bang's old man?"
On the battlefield full of corpses, Xiang Zhuang asked whenever he met people, at this moment, Xiang Zhuang is not as calm as before, no way, Liu Bang is a big bull who single-handedly created the Han Empire, and the entire Chinese nation has been named Han because of him, but now, he Xiang Zhuang has trampled Liu Bang under his feet, can he not be fucking excited?
However, the soldiers he met on the road all shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen Liu Bang.
After a long time, Xiang Zhuang met Meng Yan and Hu Yan, who intercepted the back road of the Han army, and Xiang Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Have you ever intercepted Liu Bang Lao'er?" ”
Hu Yan said angrily: "No, let Liu Bang run away." ”
Meng Yan also said: "The king, only intercepted and killed Zhou Bo, the captain of the Han Dynasty." ”
"What? Liu Bang Lao'er ran away?! Xiang Zhuang was disappointed, so he immediately said, "Chase, hurry up and send troops to chase!" ”
Meng Yan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the king can rest assured, the minister has already sent Meng Yuan and Meng Liao to chase after each of the five thousand horsemen, and Liu Bang Lao'er can't run away." "Meng Yuan is the eldest son of Meng Yan, Meng Liao is the second son of Meng Yan, and both brothers are adults. And they all learned a good martial arts from their father, and they are known as the Five Horses of Great Chu with Pang Zheng, Xiang Zhi, and Gao Lang.
Xiang Zhuang was still not at ease, and ordered Hu Yan again: "Point the wolf to ride and chase again, no matter what, you can't leave Liu Bang!" ”
"Whoa!" Huyan responded violently and summoned the wolf to ride. Only the Xiao cavalry army of the three forbidden armies of Great Chu is a color cavalry, and the main forces of the wolf army and the tiger army are infantry, but there are also 3,000 cavalry each, which are called wolf cavalry and tiger cavalry, all of which are elite, especially the three thousand wolf cavalry of Huyan, most of whom are Donghu people recruited from Liaodong. [Literature]
After a while, Xiang Tuo, Wu She, Bi Shu, Bai Lixian and other important civil and military ministers also arrived.
Xiang Zhuang immediately instructed Xiang Tuo: "Ziyan, pass the order." Let the soldiers step up to clean up the battlefield, settle the prisoners of war, and then rest the whole army for one night, and then pull out the camp early tomorrow morning and go north, and knock on the Wuguan! ”
"Whoa!" Xiang Tuo responded abruptly, turned around and hurried away.
Xiang Zhuang grabbed Bi Shu's hands again and said: "Learn the sword, if you destroy the Han, you should remember the first merit!" ”
"The king is serious." Bi Shu smiled slightly. said indifferently, "The reason why my Dachu was able to win the battle of Chushui was because hundreds of thousands of soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, but the ministers just did their duty.
Xiang Zhuang shook Bishu's hands vigorously, and then took out his right hand to hold Baili Xian, and laughed: "Learn the sword, Ziliang, go, tonight the widow will definitely drink three hundred yuan with you." Hahaha...... "Leaving Liu Bang made Xiang Zhuang a little regretful, but no matter what, the Chu army finally won the battle of Shuishui, which is indeed worth a big deal!"

Bai Spear led a team of cavalry into the Han army camp.
The entire camp was almost empty, and there were discarded ordnance, golden drums, and banners everywhere, but few people were seen, until they entered the baggage camp in the rear, and finally met a group of Han army routs, under the temptation of war exploits. The white spear and the dozens of horsemen under his command suddenly lit up, and they pulled out the ring head knife with their backhand and rushed over. …,
The group of Han soldiers suddenly shouted and fled in all directions.
However, the footsteps of the Han army rout were very vain, and they were caught up by the Chu cavalry after not running a few steps, and the white spear slashed the neck of a Han army colonel with a light knife with horsepower, and the Han army colonel screamed and fell to the ground, but several drops of the flying blood splashed on the face of the white spear, and the white spear only wiped it at will, and did not care.
In less than a moment, more than a dozen Han troops were completely slaughtered.
The white spear struck the head of the Han army colonel hanging on the horse's neck, and as soon as he turned over on the horse, a soldier shouted excitedly: "Look, there are Han troops in front, and there are many in front!" Bai Spear looked up, and sure enough, he saw that there were more Han routs in front of him, but most of these Han routs were pale and vain, as if they were wounded.
Almost at the same time, several Chu cavalry also discovered this group of wounded Han soldiers.
In the next moment, these Chu cavalry shouted at the same time, like a pack of wolves that smelled blood, and raised their swords to kill the wounded soldiers of the Han army, and the wounded soldiers of the Han army were all that, if they were left behind, they would not have their share in the merits, and under the reward mechanism for their merits, it would be difficult for the soldiers of the Chu army not to be bloodthirsty.
In just a few breaths, hundreds of wounded soldiers of the Han army were killed by the Chu army.
Many Chu soldiers were still not satisfied, and they overturned dozens of tents nearby, and cut off the heads of the wounded soldiers of the Han army who had died inside.
A Chu soldier took more than a dozen Han soldiers' heads, and then took out half a piece of cake from his arms with his bloody right hand, and gobbled it up with cold water, while proudly saying to the Chu soldiers beside him: "Black dog, this time Lao Tzu has to get a title that can't be changed, hehehe, it's eleven heads!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a horse in front of him turned back and shouted: "There are thousands of soldiers found in front!" ”
The soldiers of the Chu army, who were searching for the corpses of the Han army, suddenly had their eyes lit up, and they quickly turned over their horses one by one, and swept towards the front like a whirlwind.

"These Yueshi people are simply sheep, no, they are worse than sheep!" Seeing that the Yue clan was defeated again, Zhou Guanfu was furious, turned his head and said to Lu Tai, "Replace it with me this time?" ”
Lu Tai waved his hand and said indifferently: "Victory, we are just feints, don't take it too seriously." ”
Zhou Guanfu frowned, and said loudly: "General, wouldn't it be better if you could take Ruoxian County and burn the grain and grass of the Chu army?" ”
Lu Tai said: "The state of Chu is rich, even if it burns millions of stones of grain and grass, it will not hurt its roots, the purpose of our trip is to mobilize the water army of the state of Chu and create an opportunity for the decisive battle of the water." ”
As soon as the words fell, a fast horse suddenly galloped from the north.
Before they could get closer, the cavalry on horseback shouted in a panic: "General, woe is it, woe is it......
Lu Tai's heart was agitated, and he immediately shouted to stop the cavalry and said: "Shut up, with General Ben here, the sky won't fall!" ”
The cavalryman's shouting stopped abruptly, then he turned over and dismounted and knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Tai, and then lowered his voice and said to Lu Tai and Zhou Guanfu: "Two generals, the big thing is not good, our army is defeated in Shuishui, the army of more than 500,000 has been wiped out, the captain died in battle, and the life and death of the king, the military division and the deputy military division are uncertain......
"What did you say?" Lu Tai was taken aback when he heard this, and lost his voice, "How is this possible?!" ”
Zhou Guanfu almost fainted when he heard this, but fortunately Zhou Yafu was quick and quickly helped him, and after a long time, Zhou Guanfu finally recovered from the bad news, and then looked at the northwest direction, gritted his teeth and said: "Xiangzhuang Lao'er, I won't kill you in this life, I, Zhou Guanfu, swear not to be a person!" ”…,
After that, Zhou Guanfu instructed Zhou Yafu again: "Yafu, gather people immediately!" ”
"Whoa!" Zhou Yafu responded suddenly, turned around and was about to gather people, but was stopped by Lu Tai.
Lu Tai grabbed Zhou Yafu, turned his head to Zhou Guanfu and said, "Shengzhi, what are you doing here?" ”
Zhou Guanfu gritted his teeth and said: "The revenge of killing my father is not shared, I will go to Xiangzhuang Lao'er to take revenge!" ”
"Nonsense!" Lu Tai stomped his feet and said hurriedly, "The king's army of more than 500,000 was still defeated in a battle, and now we only have 50,000 cavalry left, how can we be Xiang Zhuang's opponent?" Aren't you a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? ”
"Are you afraid of death?" Zhou Guanfu glared at Lu Tai coldly, and hissed, "It's okay if you don't go, I'll only take three thousand elite horsemen from my headquarters to go!" After saying this, Zhou Guanfu cut off a corner of the robe with a backhand sword and threw it on Lu Tai's face, and said, "However, the brotherhood between you and me is also like this robe, and it has been broken off since then!" ”
"Victory!" Lu Tai said angrily, "I didn't mean that! ”
"And what do you mean?" Zhou Guanfu said angrily, "My father is dead, and the king and the military advisor are also uncertain, why don't we hurry up and wave our troops north to pick them up, why don't we stay here?!" ”
"Calm down, we have to calm down!" Lu Tai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The Great Han Kingdom has reached a critical juncture of life and death, we must be calm!" After saying this, Lu Tai said again, "Have you thought about Shengzhi, the king's army has been wiped out, and then Xiang Zhuang Lao'er will definitely wave his army to the north and knock directly in the pass, and now the pass is empty, even if Yaxiang is wise, but there are no soldiers in his hands, how can he resist it?" ”
Zhou Guanfu was dumbfounded, and he was so anxious that he jumped like thunder: "Then what do you say?" ”
"Let's go east!" Lu Tai raised the horsewhip in his hand and pointed to the east of the water, and said in a cruel voice, "Before the Chu army can react, cross the water to the east, burn and kill and plunder all the way to Nanjun, Hengshan County, and Jiujiang County, and the soldiers will be directed at Ziling, only in this way, maybe a part of the Chu army can be transferred back, only in this way can it be possible to relieve pressure on Guanzhong and Yaxiang!" ”
"Okay, then go east, even if I can't beat Ziling, I will also defeat Xiangxian, and I will dig the ancestral grave of the Xiang family!" Zhou Guanfu waved his iron fist and roared to the sky, then immediately knelt on the ground in the northwest direction, and cried loudly, "Father, father, the unfilial child has kowtowed to you, ...... you" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
