The lake water is like a bound dragon, flowing straight down!

The rumbling sound of water reverberates through the valley, giving one a breathless feeling of suffocation.

The trees with the size of the bowl were uprooted at once, and then the whole thing was swept into the torrent, becoming the general of the charging trap; The large boulders on the cliff blended into it with mud and sand, rolling and jumping, all the way domineering, smashing all the opponents who stood in their way.

Witnessing this scene, Li Yuan, the initiator, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the destructive power of nature is so powerful, just a man-made mudslide makes people feel the insignificance of life.

Looking at it from a distance, the generals of the Chu army in the valley were stunned for a while, and finally began to wake up, and in the face of the huge threat of losing their lives, the Chu army had completely dispersed the formation.

The soldiers who were at a loss for what to do ran in panic, and the experienced ones began to climb the slopes on both sides, hoping to quickly occupy a place where they could stand, while those who did not know what to do followed the large army towards the valley mouth, hoping that their two feet could run faster and escape smoothly before their companions.

The torrent is surging.

Looking down from the top of the mountain where Li Yuan stood, he could only see that the ant-like Chu pawns below were like small red dots, moving little by little in the narrow valley road, and behind them, there was a white giant python, which was rapidly devouring one red dot after another.

"Xiang Zhuang is finished!" Li Yuan let out a sigh of relief, although there were some twists and turns in the process, fortunately, there was no deviation in the result, and Han Xin's junior army also felt the tense atmosphere on the battlefield for the first time, and I believe that after undergoing the trial, these teenagers will become stronger and stronger.

"Jiang Yu, order all the troops to pursue the remnants of the enemy. Target: Luoyang! Li Yuan shouted.

It is advisable to chase after the poor.

Don't sell your name as a scholar.

Li Yuan remembered this poem of Taizu in later generations clearly. Xiang Yu's lesson has not yet happened. But the arrogant personality of this Western Chu overlord who returned to his hometown seems to be difficult to change.

Li Yuan led a group of relatives to go straight down to the bottom of the valley from the top of the mountain, Han Xin and Jiang Yu had already received the general order, and led the men and horses of the headquarters to chase and kill the remnants, and the soldiers in the valley who were responsible for cleaning the road and guarding the prisoners were carrying the corpses. After the flood, it was full of devastation, and the corpses of the Chu soldiers who had not escaped were lying in the valley road, and the expression on their faces was still in a state of horror when they saw the flood water rushing down.

Xiao Gongjiao died.

He didn't blink an eye.

He desperately wanted to climb the overhanging slope on the side of the valley road. In the end, he failed to become a survivor, and the heavy armor that once kept him safe was now a burden that claimed his life. For a long time, Xiao Gongjiao, who had been working hard in the system of the Chu army, finally did not escape the law of killing on the battlefield, and as the first unit to enter the valley, Xiao soldiers became victims of this ambush battle.

Li Yuan did not find Xiang Zhuang's body at the bottom of the valley, there are two possibilities, one is that Xiang Zhuang is indeed dead. But the body has not been cleaned out, after all. It is not a matter of time for a group of corpses covered in mud and sand to identify which one it is; The second is that Xiang Zhuang escaped, and before the flood caught up with him, the young general of the Western Chu State exerted his kung fu of traveling thousands of miles a day, and quickly escaped from the Hongnong Valley Road, which terrified him.

No matter what the result, even if Xiang Zhuang is alive, it is estimated that he is now frightened, this battle Qin army is unprepared, flooded the Chu army to board the army first, almost swept away the princes in Henan, Henan is presented in front of the Qin army without any cover, just like a woman who is ready to receive guests with her white chest.

June 4th, noon.

The wind swept through the city tower, and with a squeak, the red Daxu of the Chu army was broken in two.

"Bad omen!"

Shen Yang, who was looking forward to Xiang Zhuang's triumph on the city tower, was anxious for a while, Zhang Zhonggong was actually the enemy's secret, and his every move was originally under the noses of the Qin people.

"King, look, is it Major General Xiang who is back?" The soldiers who were lying on the city wall and looking at it exclaimed, what surprised people was not that Xiang Zhuang went fast and came back quickly, but that Xiang Zhuang was beside him, and there were only more than 20 horsemen left.

"The young general will come back victoriously, quickly, put on a banquet, and wash the dust for the young general!" Shen Yang called urgently. He was obese and had difficulty moving, and he couldn't climb up such a steep place as the city tower, so he couldn't see Xiang Zhuang's embarrassed appearance for a while, and thought that Xiang Zhuang had won another big victory.

"Oh no, my lord." When the pawn heard Shen Yang drink this, he couldn't help but get anxious, Xiang Zhuang was still some distance from the city, and he couldn't see it clearly from a distance, if he was mistaken, he couldn't afford to be a small soldier.

"What's not, hurry up and prepare the car, I'm going to meet the major general." Shen Yang couldn't wait to shout loudly. Shen Yang, who was anxious to express his loyalty to Xiang Zhuang, did not have the patience to listen to what a pawn had to say, and he had to prepare everything to reward Xiang Zhuang and the Chu army as soon as possible until Xiang Zhuang was satisfied.

――。

I finally saw the Luoyang City Tower.

Xiang Zhuang has already run with two sore feelings, and this time, he is completely planted.

Nearly 3,000 Chu army elite cavalry, as well as more than 5,000 princes' foot soldiers, who escaped with him, only a few dozen people remained, and the rest were either buried in the valley road or captured by the Qin army.

Among the two lieutenant generals, Xiao Gongjiao will definitely not survive, at the moment of escaping from the valley, Xiang Zhuang turned his head to look, Xiao Gongjiao's location is still a long distance away from the valley, and behind him, the water like white refining has suddenly approached. Another lieutenant general, Huan Chu, was injured in the previous night battle, and he was able to escape with his life only after staying in Luoyang to recuperate from his injuries.

Annihilated.

Xiang Zhuang has never encountered such a tragic battle since he fought with his cousin Xiang Yu, compared with the huge casualties of the Chu army, the losses of the Qin army are almost negligible, and the only casualties are a period of time entangled with Xiao Gongjiao in Gudao, and this is likely to be just a means for the Qin army to train the young team.

"Major General, what's going on?" Shen Yang led a group of servants and happily walked out of the city, but he was approaching Xiang Zhuang with a disgraced face.

"Quick, if you don't want to die, pack your things and retreat!" Xiang Zhuang shouted, and without waiting for Shen Yang to answer, he rode his horse into the city and went straight to the post station.

Post.

is not only a place to transmit military information, but also horses can be transferred, the war horse under Xiang Zhuang's crotch has already run foaming at the mouth, but the pursuers of the Qin army behind are getting closer and closer, and there is an empty city in Luoyang, and it must be impossible to defend it, Xiang Zhuang now only wants to run as far as he can, as long as he can no longer look back and see the banner of the Qin army.

Shen Yang looked at Xiang Zhuang's back blankly, and it took a while to realize what he meant, and urgently ordered the servants to hurry back to the city to pack up their things and flee, but pity the thousands of people and horses he had saved with great difficulty, and they were completely defeated by Xiang Zhuang, a loser. Thinking of this, Shen Yang couldn't help but feel like a knife.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

The pursuing Menghu Bian Cavalry appeared near Luoyang, and the time of their arrival was only a quarter of an hour slower than that of Xiang Zhuang, and the healthy horses of Hetao still maintained considerable foot strength after a long run.

June 5th.

The whole territory of Henan was occupied by the Qin army, Li Yuan once again climbed the familiar city head of Luoyang, looking at the gurgling Luoshui not far away, and several smelting sites that can be vaguely identified on the riverside, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this enclave, which was once part of Sanchuan County of Qin, finally returned to the embrace of Qin after more than a year of changes in the city.

Hangu Pass.

It is the boundary ridge between the Qin State and the Kwantung States, and it is very necessary for the Qin army to be able to obtain a buffer area in front of the Hangu Pass, which is not strong enough at the moment.

Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended.

After having Henan, the Qin army seized the initiative on the battlefield in the following battles, mainly stationed a group of men and horses in the Kunguan Pass east of Luoyang (that is, the famous Pass and Tiger Prison Pass during the Three Kingdoms), which could block the possible Chu army from attacking in the east and west. When the strength of the Qin army is superior, it can also use Henan as a springboard, Guangtun military rations, attack Wei and Qi in the east, and attack Yan and Zhao in the north, so as to realize the strategic intention of unifying the Central Plains.

――。

The arrogant Xiang Zhuang was defeated and fled back to Dongjun, and after the extremely resentful Xiang Yu immediately relieved Xiang Zhuang of all his military positions and demoted him to the Jiangdong area, at the same time, Xiang Yu's army accelerated the speed of the march, and the Chu army crossed the beam and appeared near Xingyang.

The Qin army reappeared in Guanzhong.

The black banners like a forest, the soldiers of the Qin State who carried their heads and shouted in battle, and the columns of serious military discipline and chilling Guanzhong Rui soldiers, once again appeared on the land of Kanto.

It was not only Xiang Yu who felt the pressure of the Qin army's recovery, but also Liu Bang, Zhang Er, Chen Yu, Wei Bao and other princes sent envoys to inform each other of the news.

"The King of Han has been defeated repeatedly, there is nothing wrong, although the King of Han was defeated, he also figured out who Li Yuan was, and at this point, no one among the princes was matched."

In this regard, Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty who had several confrontations with Li Yuan, became the object of worship from all the princes, in a sense, in this long-distance running race where he failed more than whom, Liu Bang actually won the respect of the princes from all walks of life by virtue of several defeats.

Who is Li Yuan?

In just one year, from an unknown small person, he quickly became the focus of discussion among princes from all walks of life, and according to well-informed sources, Li Yuan has not really suffered a defeat since he led the army, and Liu Bang's occupation of Xianyang City was also because Li Yuan took the initiative to give up.

Note: Attack, attack, attack, have been silent for a long time, Xiao Lizi is finally going to be strong, support him! (To be continued.) )
