There was a burst of killings at the pass.

The fire in the back mountain is monstrous.

The scorching summer sun bakes the stumps and leaves, emitting a foul smell, and under the action of fermentation, the biogas accumulates under the soft fallen leaves, gradually forming a little instant gas.

The generals of the Chu army are about to go crazy.

There were burning fires everywhere, and the trail that was barely recognizable was completely lost after a few detours.

Where to go?

Where is the pass of the Tiger Prison?

The sound of shouting and killing echoed in the valley, making bursts of whimpering sounds, making people unable to tell where the fierce battle was, the Chu army interspersed with troops to hit one head on the left, rushed right for a while, and after fighting with the fierce fire for a while, they finally encountered Wang Shang and Zhang Ping's encirclement troops head-on.

"Chu Manzi, where are you going to escape?" Wang Shang shouted, and immediately led the two thousand crossbowmen of the headquarters to approach the Chu army scouts in chaos, and when a machine crossbow was erected, Ji Xin and the others had no way out.

At the other end, Lang Zhong Zhang Ping led a Qin army to guard the only trail down the mountain, this time, he finally raised his eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief, and was able to surround the Chu army, which had always been high, Zhang Ping's heart was indescribably happy.

In the first battle of Thorn Plain, the Qin army had no fighting spirit, Zhang Ping and his brother Zhang Han surrendered Xiang Yu in desperation, I thought that with this merit, I could also have a preferential treatment, who would have thought that although Xiang Yu was crowned King Zhang Handyong, but he was an empty prince with a princely position and no territory, Mo said that compared with powerful princes like Zhang Er and Liu Bang, even Shen Yang, who can only pat on the back, is much more affordable than Zhang Han.

With a stomach full of grievances and grievances, Zhang Ping turned back to Guanzhong. There is no need to describe what happened next, for Zhang Han and Zhang Ping, returning to the arms of the Qin State again is the greatest comfort in their hearts.

The Chu army fought and retreated.

Under the barrage of crossbow arrows, they suffered heavy casualties. The wailing wounded were abandoned. You can only stay in the place where you are injured and wait for death. If they were stabbed to death by the Qin army, they were lucky, and if they were unlucky, when the fire rolled upside down, they would end up like beasts driven into the fire. Becomes a charred meat roasted alive.

――。

Ji Xin is going crazy.

Obviously, the sound of killing is in my ears, but I can't find the way.

After the death of the money-greedy guide, the Chu army once walked along the path stepped by the Qin army's dead squad, but unfortunately it was very fast. The fire, which was blown stronger and stronger by the mountain winds, consumed everything that could be distinguished.

Wang Shang's crossbowmen hid in the shadows, casting cold arrows one after another, for this shameless tactic, Ji Xin couldn't help but scold, but their shouting and scolding not only did not lead to Wang Shang's Qin crossbowmen, but instead attracted reinforcements from the Qin army.

Hearing the news that a team patrolling the mountains was killed by the Chu army, the Qin army was full of emotion, and there was no need for Wang Shang and Zhang Ping to mobilize. Almost all of the squads were moving closer to the center of the encirclement at an accelerated pace.

"Quick, retreat. Retreat the way you came! ”

After losing nearly three hundred elite soldiers, Ji Xin finally lost the confidence to find another way to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, although at this time, he had already heard the continuous shouts of killing at the pass.

This is the main force of the Chu army attacking the pass!

It's a pity that it is really difficult to rendezvous, and Ji Xin feels that even if he fights for his life, he will not be able to defeat the Qin army that has surrounded him.

Mountainside.

The corner of the trail where the Chu army came.

Zhang Ping sneered, looking at the Chu soldiers who were getting closer and closer, these Chu soldiers no longer had the heroic appearance when they entered the mountain, and the rest were full of horror and panicked and helpless expressions.

Suddenly, Zhang Ping saw a familiar face.

"Ji Xin, that's him." Zhang Ping's heart was like boiling water, churning endlessly. At the beginning, it was this Ji Xin who blocked his Zhang Ping's return in Pubandu, so that the entire 200,000 Qin troops were surrounded in the Thorn Plain with no food and grass, and there were no rescuers outside, so he had no choice but to surrender Xiang Yu.

"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, I can't imagine that only two years later, the war between Qin and Chu has become another result." Zhang Ping clenched the bronze short sword in his hand, and the flames of revenge ignited in his eyes.

――。

Two hundred steps.

One hundred steps.

Fifty steps.

Zhang Ping, who silently counted the distance from the Chu army, shouted, jumped up first, and rushed towards the Chu army column scattered into several sections, followed by Zhang Ping, one after another hideous-faced, shirtless Qin pawns, they shouted and fought fiercely, except for a bronze sword in their hands, there was nothing else.

"It's Qin Dog!"

A Chu army scout team who opened the way exclaimed, and before he could be warned, Zhang Ping had already pounced, and the bronze sword stabbed diagonally into the opponent's abdomen.

"Porphyry!"

Sword into the skin.

There was a slight cold numb feeling, and then, it was a hot and spicy pain, and Chu Junjun, who was in pain, stared at the balls of his eyes, grabbed the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and pushed it violently at Zhang Ping.

"Drink!" Zhang Ping shouted, his shoulders exerted force at the same time, and there was an intimate collision with the tough opponent, and the impact of the shoulder bone and the hardest part of the shoulder bone made both sides cry out in great pain.

Joint detachment.

Zhang Ping's right hand, there is no way to grasp the hilt of the sword, however, at this time, there is no need for him to exert any more force, the sword enters the body of the enemy, and with only a slight touch, it brings out strands of blood, as well as a section of internal organs that were cut off by the blade of the sword.

"Ugh!"

Chu Shu was in pain again, and when he finally lost all his strength, he slowly sat down on the ground, and at the wound on his abdomen, several layers of armor had been dyed bright red with blood.

This is the most courageous team leader under Ji Xin.

This former Yangtze River thief crossed the river all the way from Jiangdong to the north, and experienced countless fierce battles, but he didn't want to die in the deep mountains and jungles of this Tiger Prison Pass today.

Zhang Ping and Wang Shang flanked back and forth, blocking Ji Xin halfway up the mountain, and this melee began shortly after the sun rose and ended near noon.

Ji Xin can't escape.

After one Chu army soldier after another fell unwillingly, Ji Xin rolled off the cliff with a Qin pawn in one of his arms in a hand-to-hand fight with the Qin army in Zuihou, and then hit his head against the rock and passed out.

Ji Xin is absent, the Chu army has no leader, some of them have lost their fighting spirit and let go of their weapons and surrendered, and the other part of those who are still resisting have no idea of holding on, and they have rushed into the mountains and forests to try to find a way to escape, but their ideas are very beautiful, and the results are often very cruel, walking alone in this deserted and roadless deep mountains, and they are wounded all over their bodies and smell of blood, it is impossible to go far, in front, waiting for them is a large beast with extreme hunger.

――。

Noon.

The sun is blazing.

Li Yuan's whole body was like being washed, and continuous sweat flowed from his head to his trousers, staining and wet, making people feel strongly uncomfortable.

"Li Hou, Xiang Yu is here?" Cao Xin strode over the gravel on the pass, and rushed to Li Yuan's Da Xu, his finger was the Chu Army's fiery red Da Xu, which was getting closer and closer.

One black and one red.

Finally, it was inevitable that they would collide together.

Li Yuan let out a long breath, his heart had gone from the excitement and frenzy when he first saw Xiang Yu to the current calm, this change came from the brutal battle this morning.

Someone once said that if a man wants to grow up, then send him to the battlefield.

Someone once said that if a man wants to be destroyed, then send him to the battlefield.

Li Yuan can't remember which person in later generations said this, but when I think about it today, it is so straightforward and reasonable.

The battlefield is a place where the spirit of people is tempered.

Li Yuan has seen too much death here, and he has already taken life and death to the limit, so what about Xiang Yu, what about being brave first, facing a group of soldiers who are not afraid of death, even if it is Xiang Yu, there is no way.

"Order: The whole army guards the pass, and there will be no truce." Li Yuan let out a loud shout, pulled out the bronze short sword from his waist, and rushed towards the tightest part of the pass.

"Fight, fight, fight!" Cao Xin, who was hoarse, shouted and roared at the Qin generals on the pass.

There is no need for rhetorical mobilization, action is everything. Li Yuan is like this, Xiang Yu is the same, two people with different personalities and different experiences, because of this war in which no one will give in, they are entangled together, they guard the dignity of men, even if they fail, they will fall in the face of the enemy.

Ji Bu rushed to the pass.

Extremely tired, he met the fierce Cao Xin head-on, and the two looked at each other on the battlefield for a long time, but this time they finally really faced each other, and it was difficult to solve for a while.

In another place, the Qin general Jiang Yu and Xiang Yu's pro-army general Zhou Lan each led a group of soldiers to fight under the pass, Zhou Lan tried to direct the soldiers to transport the giant wood and crash into a defensive position of the Qin army, while Jiang Yu was desperately holding on, and the two sides fought fiercely, both of which suffered heavy casualties.

Xiang Yu climbed the mountain of corpses full of corpses step by step, on his left and right, the huge shields erected by several personal soldiers were very haode to protect the stray arrows shot by the Qin army, and at this time, even the Qin army was not much, and the continuous vicious battles had consumed too many reserve crossbow arrows of the Qin army.

"Li Yuan, do you still dare to fight?" Xiang Yu pushed away his own pawn and proudly stepped on.

"Xiang Ji, you think that you have won, but in fact, the real defeat today is not someone else, it is you." Li Yuan leaned against a protruding rock on the pass, and smiled sarcastically at Xiang Yu, who was getting closer and closer.

"Haha, Li Thief, you are still quibbling when you are dying, look at how long you can hold on to this pass." Xiang Yu waved his hand and said loudly at the pass battlefield that was in the midst of a fierce battle.

Fierce battles are raging everywhere.

Resistance everywhere.

The Qin army is like kraft candy, not giving up, not surrendering, and not bowing its head. This made the soldiers of the Chu army, who already felt that they were on the verge of victory, extremely annoyed.

"Kill Chu!"

The stalemate battle continued, and the smug Xiang Yu suddenly tightened his pupils, and inside his eyes, a Qin army unit wearing black armor suddenly appeared. (To be continued.) )
