On the barren mountains and mountains, the remnants of the Chu army are rushing towards Shouchun.

This is the real wolf run, all the baggage is thrown away, the armor, the flag, the halberd is also thrown, everyone only wears light robes, only holds short swords, spreads their legs, and runs away with all their might, less than 4,000 people, but they open a team dozens of miles long, and the soldiers with good physical strength and legs and feet run in front, and the soldiers with poor physical strength or wounded gradually fall behind.

It was a long and rapid march, and it was a brutal knockout!

Being eliminated means the end of life, and no one can save them.

Seeing that there were more and more soldiers who were left behind, Xiang Zhuang was also in a heavy mood, but he did not slow down, and he did not plan to stop and wait for these soldiers to return.

Because, the escape of the remnants of the Chu army could never be concealed from the scouts of the coalition army.

If nothing else, Liu Bang, Han Xin, Yingbu, Peng Yue, and Zhou Yin should have known the existence of the remnants of this Chu army by now, and they have all sent a pursuing army, the only thing to be thankful for is that the cavalry of the infant has been led away by Xiang Yu's cavalry, and it should be hundreds of miles away now, otherwise, they will definitely die!

However, even if the coalition forces could not send cavalry to pursue, it should not be taken lightly.

Stop, although you can wait for the return of the soldiers who have fallen behind, but the price is likely to be the annihilation of the entire army!

Xiang Zhuang will never put the entire remnants of the Chu army on the sake of the few soldiers who have fallen behind, and they will be willing to give up, and they will only be able to get if they are willing to give up, only if they are ruthless enough and black enough, they can survive to the end!

"Quick, speed up! No stops, no one stops! "After a long and rapid march of more than 100 miles, Xiang Zhuang, who was as strong as a cow, was also panting like an ox, and felt physically exhausted, and even Yu Ji on the black horse was already fragrant and sweaty, because the mounts of this era did not have stirrups, and riding a horse was also a physical work.

Jing Qian barely kept up with Xiang Zhuang's footsteps, and said breathlessly: "General, rest, rest, will you rest?" ”

"No way!" Xiang Zhuang said coldly, "Can't rest!" Go, send an order to the whole army, it's a man, just support Lao Tzu! ”

"No!" Jing Qian struggled to lift his spirits, and while catching up with the pace of the front army, he shouted and ordered, "The general has an order, it is a man, so support Lao Tzu......"

A curse suddenly rang out in the chaotic marching column.

However, no one stopped, and although they were too tired, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.

The remnants of the defeated generals are very clear, they have gnawed bark and grass roots in the past few days, and their physical strength has long been close to overdraft, and now they are all supported by a breath, once they stop, this breath will be discharged, and it will be difficult to get up again when the time comes, and the coalition forces may catch up at any time, so if you don't want to die, you can only grit your teeth and insist.

Xiang Zhuang's worries were not superfluous, the whereabouts of the remnants of the Chu army had indeed been discovered.

"What do you say? The remnants of the four or five thousand Chu army are fleeing westward? After receiving the report of General Li Zuoche, Han Xin's first reaction was not to believe it, hadn't the remnants of the Chu army been cut off, and even Xiang Yu had been cut off his head, why did a remnant of the Chu army of four or five thousand people pop up? It's impossible.

Li Zuodao: "The king, the last general doesn't want to believe it, but there are indeed thousands of Chu troops fleeing west!" ”

Han Xin nodded, and immediately said: "Okay, no matter where these thousands of remnants of the Chu army came from, you can immediately order three thousand elite soldiers to go out and destroy them." ”

"No!" Li Zuoche suddenly agreed, and was about to turn around and leave, when the envoy of the King of Han suddenly arrived.

It was none other than Zhang Liang, who looked at Li Zuoche who was holding an arrow and preparing to go to battle, Zhang Liang smiled and said: "General Li is ready to lead the army to hunt down the remnants of the Chu army that has just been discovered?" ”

Li Zuoche was stunned when he heard this, and immediately looked back at Han Xin.

Without waiting for Han Xin to say something, Zhang Liang said again: "It seems that I am not wrong, hehe, but there is no need to trouble General Li in this matter, the King of Han has already ordered General Fan Xu to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to pursue." ”

Han Xin frowned, and said to Li's left lane: "Since this is the case, then you can go and take Donghai County." ”

"This won't bother General Li." Zhang Liang waved his hand and said with a smile, "The King of Han has ordered the general Zhou Bo to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to this morning and go to Pingding Surabaya and Donghai Prefectures. ”

After all, the king just led the army to break Xiang Yu's 100,000 Chu army, and the king of Han said that the king worked hard and made great achievements, so there is no need to conquer again, and the rest of the war will be handed over to the generals Guan Ying, Cao Shen, Fan Xu, and Zhou Bo." ”

Han Xin had no choice but to withdraw Li Zuoche's arrow, and Zhang Liang left in a moment.

As soon as Zhang Liang left, Fan Yang's debater Kuaiche walked out from behind the screen and said to Han Xinjin: "Look, your king, Liu Bangdu has already become suspicious of you, and you have nothing to do with pursuing the remnants of the Chu army, and you are not willing to use the troops of Qi to pacify Surabaya and Donghai, this is because the King of Han is worried that you will take the opportunity to attack the city and expand the sphere of influence of Qi." ”

Han Xin naturally didn't believe it, and sternly reprimanded Kui Che and said: "Nonsense, if the King of Han is really suspicious of Lone, then why doesn't he stop the infant army from pacifying Jiangdong?" Isn't the baby a lonely general? Isn't the 5,000 cavalry led by the infant filling station a lonely tribe? ”

"Baby-filling?" Kui Che said abruptly, "The king knows very well that although the five thousand cavalry led by the infant is nominally a Qi ** team, but in fact it is a part of the Han King, and the person who is the infant is Liu Bang's confidant, and he only superficially obeys the king, if he is allowed to choose between the king and Liu Bang, he will definitely abandon the king and be loyal to Liu Bang." ”

"That's enough." Han Xin frowned and said unhappily, "How can King Han be as unbearable as you said?" ”

Kuaicher was speechless for a moment, and he no longer had illusions about Han Xin, Han Xin's military attainments were unmatched, but he was really short-sighted in politics, if nothing else, Han Xin would sooner or later become Liu Bang's ghost, it seems that he should have made plans early, otherwise, sooner or later he will be killed by him.

When it was almost dark, the remnants of the Chu army finally arrived in a valley near Shouchun.

It is unbelievable to say that from early morning to evening, the remnants of the Chu army actually ran for more than two hundred miles in one day, running from the vicinity of Dongcheng to the vicinity of Shouchun!

In the history of ancient marches, this is definitely a miracle!

However, the price was also heavy, the remnants of the Chu army still had nearly 4,000 people when they set out from the vicinity of Dongcheng, but when they arrived near Shouchun in the evening, there were only more than 3,200 people left.

Thankfully, the remaining 3,200 or so people are all young and strong men with great bodies!

Moreover, most of these more than 3,200 people are veterans of a hundred battles who have followed Xiang Yu through three years of fighting Qin, five years of fighting Han, and surviving the battle of Qixia.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, they have to wait for them to regain their strength and fighting spirit.

At least, it is categorically not possible now, now these 3,200 people are hungry and tired, exhausted, and the army is discouraged, and there is no fighting spirit, it is no exaggeration to say that these more than 3,200 remnants of the army are defeated, that is, a rabble, and the coalition army can crush them by sending a light army of a few hundred people.

It is not easy to recover the fighting spirit, it takes victory after battle to strengthen the courage!

However, it was imperative to find some food as soon as possible to feed the hungry soldiers, who had not eaten properly for several days.

Xiang Zhuang was thinking about where to go to get something to eat, when Gao Chu, the head of the pro-soldier Tun, suddenly came over and reported in a low voice: "General, I found smoke on the right side of the mountain!" ”

"Hmm, smoke!?" Xiang Zhuang's expression suddenly perked up when he heard this, and having cooking smoke means having food!

At that moment, Xiang Zhuang followed Gao Chu to climb the mountain beam, looked down condescendingly, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen cooking smoke rising in the mountain on the right, and it was obvious that there should be a village in that mountain.

At this time, many soldiers also found the cooking smoke and gathered around.

"Look at it, Cooking Smoke, there are people in the mountains over there, and there is food!"

"Damn, I've been starving Lao Tzu these days, will I finally have something to eat?"

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up, rob the fuck, it's too late, it's too late!"

"Yes, slaughter this village, kill all these dog-day rebels, and rob them of their food!"

Without saying a few words, dozens of officers who were already hungry with green eyes dispersed in a hurry, and then each of them picked up men and horses and rushed to the mountain in a hurry, and after less than a moment, the news spread throughout the army, and the hungry soldiers who were still lying on the ground and raised their corpses suddenly shook their spirits and rushed to the mountain.

Xiang Zhuang didn't stop it, in fact, he didn't want to stop it at all.

Why block? The soldiers are all hungry like this, is it wrong to find something to eat?

Yes, the villagers in the mountains are innocent, and it is not their will to rebel against Chu and return to Han, but so what?

Chu and Han fought each other, five years of war, and the people of the Central Plains who suffered from swords and soldiers, who is not innocent? Tens of millions of people have been affected, and they still care about a village and a few hundred people?

Cruel or cold-blooded, it's all about survival!

The foundation of the Chu army has been lost, fighting alone, if you don't rob, what will you eat?

Only living is the king's way, and everything else is fucking bullshit.

Milu is innocent, but can a lion not eat them because the deer is innocent? Lambs are kind, but can a wild wolf not eat them because they are kind? No, because lions and wolves also need to survive, so they have to eat the deer, they have to eat the lambs!

When Xiang Zhuang led the black horse into the mountain, the Chu army had already launched an attack.

There is a big village in the mountain, and a dock fort has been built, it is close to the mountains and rivers, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is estimated that the people living in it are a wealthy family, and there are hundreds of militiamen, but in front of thousands of hungry soldiers of the Chu army, this militia is simply a mantis arm as a car, and it is not good to have a strong dock fort, less than half an hour, the hungry soldiers of the Chu army crashed open the gate and swarmed in.

When Xiang Zhuang stepped on the wall of the dock fort, the entire dock fort had been completely annihilated by the Chu army.

There are fires everywhere, there are running figures everywhere, there are the crashing sounds of weapons everywhere, screams everywhere, women's wails, children's crying, and the hysterical laughter of the hungry soldiers of the Chu army, the whole Wubao is crying, the whole village is **, only the hungry soldiers of the Chu army are laughing wildly, this is war! Brutal war!

Yu Ji, who was following behind Xiang Zhuang, suddenly sighed faintly, and her beautiful eyes were full of unbearable color.

Xiang Zhuang's eyes were cold, and there was only the reflection of flames in his dark pupils, which was evil and enchanting.

Xiang Yu destroyed Qin, that's what he did; Peng Yue scratched Chu and did the same; Even Liu Bang often does this; He Xiangzhuang is not the first, and will never be the last!
