Chapter 01: The Battle of the Castle (Part I)
"Woo woo woo ......"
The long and long horn sound faintly came from the front, Xiang Zhuang slowly raised his head, only to see a purple Daxu rising from behind the low mountain beam in the north, followed by Daxu appeared, is a large endless forest of halberds, that cold and cold blade, almost want to reflect the cold dark and gloomy sky.
The next thing that came was the raging crowd.
There are thousands of soldiers, boundless, tens of thousands of soldiers, grounded in the sky!
Hundreds of thousands of Qi soldiers gathered into an endless purple wave, led by the purple daku, swept down the low mountain beam, and rolled forward, its forward sharp soldiers were about to enter the range of the Chu army's bed crossbow, but the rear army light soldiers were still endlessly rising behind the mountain beam.
Xiang Zhuang** had some chapped lips, and his heart was filled with strange bitterness.
It's Han Xin, Han Xin has arrived, and he finally rushed to the battlefield with the army of Qi!
At this moment, Xiang Zhuang felt unprecedented despair, Chu Jun, the defeat was decided!
Speaking of which, the current Xiang Zhuang is actually not the real Xiang Zhuang, the real Xiang Zhuang should have died in a battle not long ago, and the current Xiang Zhuang is just another soul borrowed in his body, a soul from a veteran nicknamed "Butcher" more than 2,000 years later, the real name is true, and the butcher has almost forgotten it.
However, the butcher's life is really not very good, it is unlucky enough to travel to the troubled times at the end of Qin, and what is even more unfortunate is that he actually crossed over and became the first dancing male Xiang Zhuang in the ages, and when he crossed over, the Hongmen banquet had already passed, and the battle of Qixia had come to an end. What else can you do but wait to die?
Assist Xiang Yu to complete the Jedi counterattack? No kidding, that's delusional.
If Xiang Yu was a male lord worthy of assistance, Liu Bang would have been killed by him a long time ago, where would today's battle become?
Let's take a look at the lineup of the coalition forces hostile to the Chu State, Liu Bang, Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping...... Just thinking about it makes your scalp tingle! The "butcher" never thought that he could play with these ancients, even if he was a time-traveler, even if he had two thousand years of knowledge, and there were countless classic examples in the history books that could be used for reference.
Therefore, following Xiang Yu can only be a dead end, so escape? That's a dead end!
Liu Bang is not a good man and a woman, he will never let go of any of the descendants of the Xiang family, the "butcher" is now Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Yu's younger brother, and Xiang Yan's grandson! He just fled to the ends of the earth, even if he fled into the desert, most of them could not escape Liu Bang's poisonous hands.

Under the purple da, Han Xin, who was wearing a white robe and white armor and riding a white horse, slowly raised his right hand.
Suddenly, hundreds of commanders galloped along the marching columns, from the front army to the rear: "The king has an order, stop advancing!" ”
"The king has an order, stop advancing!"
"The king has an order, stop advancing!"
"The king has an order, stop advancing!"
Orders were given one after another, and the hundreds of thousands of troops who were marching forward slowly stopped.
In the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, Guan Ying, Cao Shen, Li Zuoche and other generals crowded behind Han Xin.
"King, let's set up a village." Li Zuoche stepped forward, he was the grandson of Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State, and he was quite strategic.
Han Xin ignored Li Zuoche's suggestion, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the Chu army waiting in front of him silently.
Suddenly, a subtle smile bloomed at the corner of Han Xin's mouth, and he immediately raised his right hand again, stretched out his index finger and pressed it lightly forward, and said lightly: "Daxu herald, the whole army will attack!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the generals such as Guan Ying, Cao Shen and Li Zuoche were suddenly shocked.
Daxu sent an order, that is the general attack of the whole army, and even a tentative attack has been spared?
"The king must not!" Li Zuoche hurriedly stopped, "Our army has just gone through a long march, the soldiers are extremely tired, and their foothold is not stable, how can they rashly fight a decisive battle with the Chu army?" ”
"Yes, my lord, let's fight another day."
"King, it's better for the last general to lead the left army to attack."
Guan Ying, Cao Shen and other generals of the Qi army also stepped forward to dissuade them.
Han Xin waved his hand lightly and repeated in a faint, unquestionable tone: "Daxu herald, the whole army will attack!" ”
A moment later, the horn in the Qi army changed sharply, from a long and long to a high-pitched and excited, and in an instant, hundreds of thousands of Qi soldiers were like a flood that broke the embankment, surging forward.
##########
Seeing the whole army of Qi attacking, there was an uproar in the Chu army.
Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but gasp, Han Xin, worthy of Han Xin, dared to launch an attack at the beginning of the army, and as soon as it came up, it was a general attack of the whole army, not even a tentative attack!
Han Xinbing, it is really like an antelope hanging horns, so that people can find no trace!
Looking back suddenly, Xiang Zhuang's gaze fell on the majestic man next to him.
The man is dignified, his eyes are like electricity, he is more than eight feet tall, ** the black horse is extremely powerful, holding a big iron halberd, and the length is one foot and eight feet!
Xiang Yu, he is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu!
Seeing the Qi army attacking, Xiang Yu was immediately furious: "Han Xinxiao'er, dare to be so arrogant!" ”
It is impossible for Xiang Yu not to be angry, he has always been conceited, and he never puts the heroes of the world in his eyes, and now Han Xin is unusual, the army has marched so far, neither resting nor tempting, as soon as it comes up, it is a general attack of the whole army, and the Chu army can be described as extremely contemptuous, with Xiang Yu's pride, how can he stand it?
After that, Xiang Yu looked back again and said to Xiang Zhuang: "Third brother, Daxu has an order, all armies will attack!" ”
"Brother Wang, no!" Xiang Zhuang knew that Han Xin was powerful, and in terms of his attainments in commanding a large corps of battles, this person was unmatched in the ages, and few people in later generations could defeat him. At that moment, Xiang Zhuang persuaded, "Brother Wang, our army has few soldiers and is exhausted, and it is not suitable to fight again, so let's withdraw as soon as possible while the coalition forces have not completed the siege." ”
"Shut up!" Xiang Yu became more and more angry and said, "Go and give the order, otherwise, you will die." ”
"No!" Xiang Zhuang's heart was awe-inspiring, and he immediately issued an order for the whole army to attack, and in an instant, the 100,000 Chu army also met the Qi army-for-tat under the guidance of Huang Daxu.
Xiang Yu immediately turned over and dismounted, and took the lead in rushing to the Qi army on the opposite side with the big iron halberd.
##########
The middle army of the Qi army, seeing that Xiang Yu personally led the Chu army to launch a-for-tat attack on the Qi army, the corners of Han Xin's mouth couldn't help but have a faint disdain, and said: "Xiang Yu, after all, he is just a fierce and ruthless horseman." ”
Guan Ying, Cao Shen, Li Zuoche and other generals looked at each other silently, in the whole world, I am afraid that only the King of Qi dares to say so, the 200,000 elite border troops of the Great Qin Empire are not defeated by Xiang Yu's "fierce fighting"? Heroes such as Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, have not been beaten by Xiang Yu's "horseman" many times and wiped out the whole army?
##########
The two armies were advancing against each other, and in less than a moment, they had already collided head-to-head, and the front of the two armies was suddenly overturned!
Xiang Yu was powerful, and swept with a halberd in both hands, and more than ten Qi soldiers in front of him fell to the ground one after another, and all the halberds in his hands were broken on the spot!
A Qi army commander was proud of his strength, and while wielding a halberd to take Xiang Yu directly, he shouted: "Xiang Yu, suffer death!" ”
Xiang Yu was stunned, and suddenly opened his mouth and roared at the Qi army commander, his sound was like thunder, like a landslide, and the Qi army commander only heard an explosion in his ears, and then his eyes flashed and he collapsed to the ground.
"Hahaha!" Xiang Yu looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and once again danced the halberd and rushed wildly, and no one could stop him for a moment.
Behind Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang led eight hundred sharp soldiers to obey each other, and the attack arrow composed of these eight hundred sharp soldiers was like a sharp boning sharp knife, and it entered the front of the Qi army at once.
##########
In the middle of the Qi army, Li Zuoche showed a solemn look on his face, and said to Han Xin: "King, Xiang Yu really lives up to his reputation, it is only a short moment, and his forward has almost broken through the front of our army!" ”
Han Xin said lightly: "The dead battalion is forward, and the front army is connected!" ”
##########
In front of the two armies, the infantry of the Qi army, wearing light armor and holding halberds, suddenly retreated like a tide, and a large group of light soldiers wearing Ge clothes, pulling their hair in a diagonal bun, and holding short knives appeared in front of the Chu army.
Xiang Zhuang's eyes froze for a moment, and he shouted at Xiang Yu: "Brother Wang, the Qi army is dead!" ”
"Dead?" Xiang Yu was stunned when he heard this, and said coldly, "Let them become dead!" ”
The next moment, Xiang Yu had already abandoned the big iron halberd and broke into the Qi army's dead soldier formation with a sword in one hand.
"Die!" The two dead soldiers of the Qi army protected their swords behind them, and coldly faced Xiang Yu's sword with their chests, the dead soldiers are the dead soldiers, in order to kill the enemy, they will never be stingy with their lives!
But it's a pity that they are facing the first ** in the ages - Xiang Yu!
Between the lightning and the fire, without waiting for the two dead soldiers of the Qi army to pull out the short knives hidden behind them, the big sword in Xiang Yu's hand had already swept through the necks of the two with a dazzling cold light, the blood splattered, and the two human heads with fierce eyebrows were suddenly thrown high, and the two corpses that had lost their heads rushed forward, but the short knives hidden behind them could not be handed out.
Xiang Yu killed two people with a sword, and two more Qi army dead soldiers were killed, and before they could return the sword, Xiang Yu suddenly slammed his shoulders forward, and the two Qi army dead soldiers didn't have time to react, and they were suddenly hit to the point that their chests were broken and their internal organs were shattered.
Witnessing Xiang Yu's divine might, the sharp soldiers of the Chu army who followed behind suddenly cheered like a tsunami.
On the other hand, the dead soldiers of the Qi army on the opposite side were all shocked, the dead soldiers were not afraid of death, but they were afraid of dying in vain, their death also required a price, and when they found that their death was costless, they would also retreat.
##########
In the middle of the Qi army, the expression on Li Zuoche's face had changed from solemn to shocked, and he said to Han Xin in disbelief: "King, the dead soldier camp can't stop it, and it has been broken through by the pro-army led by Xiang Yu!" ”
"See." Han Xin said lightly, "Change the phalanx." ”
##########
In front of the two armies, the dead soldiers of the Qi army, dressed in kudzu clothes and holding short knives, retreated like a tide.
Xiang Yu raised his bloody sword, pointed at the faintly visible Qi army in front of him, and was about to say a few words of encouragement to the Chu army soldiers who followed behind, when there was a sudden sound of neat and heavy footsteps behind him, and he turned around sharply, only to see countless Qi army foot soldiers wearing iron armor, iron helmets, and shields in their hands had already approached with neat steps.
"Warrior!" Xiang Zhuang shouted awe-inspiringly, "Brother Wang, it's the phalanx of the Qi army!" ”
The so-called warriors are actually hoplites in full armor, created by Wu Qi, a famous general of the Wei State!
According to historical records, after Wei Wushu trained into an army, he fought in the south and north under the leadership of Wu Qi, and went through 72 major battles, of which 64 were completely victorious, and the rest were drawn, and there was no defeat!
The Qin State adjacent to Wei can be said to have suffered from it, the battle of Yin and Jin, 500,000 Qin troops were defeated by 50,000 Wei soldiers, so that a large area of land east of Huashan fell, Qin was weakened by the population, the national strength declined, Qin Xiaogong won the Quliang was in danger, and this led to the later Shang Dynasty reform and Qin Shi Huang's army swallowing the six countries!
The martial arts are famous, but Xiang Yu is fearless, and said abruptly: "Let's see how Lone breaks it!" ”
After that, Xiang Yu abandoned the sword and exchanged it for the big iron halberd, and immediately brandished the halberd and smashed into the Qi army's warrior array.
Although the soldiers of the Qi army have heavy armor to protect themselves and have a big shield to cover them, they can carry the strength in front of Xiang Yu, all of this is in vain, Xiang Yu's halberd is headed, the spear Ge shield armor is all broken, the soldiers and generals are all invincible, Xiang Zhuang and the eight hundred personal soldiers took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, sharp can not be stopped, although the Qi soldiers are desperately resisting, but they are still killed and retreated.
##########
In the middle of the Qi army, Li Zuoche's face changed more and more, and he said to Han Xin: "King, the martial arts can't stop Xiang Yu!" ”
Han Xin looked up at the purple Daxu above his head, and then looked down at Xiang Yu, who had almost killed the front, and then calmly ordered: "Daxu retreats, and all armies fight and retreat." ”
When the generals heard the words, the two armies were entangled in battle, the most taboo was to retreat, when the troops were not much, it was good to say, once the number of troops exceeded 100,000, it would be difficult to maintain effective command of the various armies and departments while retreating, therefore, the slightest carelessness would lead to the defeat of the whole army, especially in the face of a strong general like Xiang Yu, it should be more cautious.
General Cao Shen gritted his teeth and stepped forward to persuade: "The king thinks twice, at this time, the enemy and our two armies have been strangled together, and suddenly ordered to retreat, which is likely to lead to the rout of the whole army!" ”
The rider also said: "Yes, the king, you can't retreat!" ”
"It doesn't matter." Han Xin waved his hand and repeated lightly, "Order, Da Xu retreats." ”
