Xiang Yu was slightly happy when he saw this Qin general ushering, so he waved his halberd to meet him, wanting to kill him on the horse.

The halberd and spear intersected several times, but they were not up or down, and both of them were suspicious in their hearts. Li Xin didn't expect that the Chu State would have such a fierce general, but Xiang Yu couldn't imagine that the Qin State still had such a good hand, so he yelled and asked; "Who are you, I, Xiang Yu, don't kill nameless people."

Li Xin was furious, and Su Fagen shouted: "I am Li Xin, the general of the Qin State, who are you, Huangkou Xiaoer." ”

"Li Xin!" Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered Li Xin, the first fierce general of the Qin State who was once famous for his bravery, and laughed; "It turned out to be you, and I thought you were dead a long time ago, do you know who I am? I am Xiang Yu, the grandson of Xiang Yan, who beat you at the beginning. ”

Li Xin's face turned blue and white for a while, his biggest regret was that he was defeated by Xiang Yan, but now he heard Xiang Yu deliberately mention it, where could he hold back the anger in his heart, so he roared and stepped forward to fight with Xiang Yu.

Li Xin was proud of his youth, and once broke thousands of Wei soldiers alone, and his strong martial arts were praised by King Yingzheng of Qin as the first brave general of Qin, and his marksmanship was still above Wang Qian. He has a very high heart since he was a child, and the only thing he believes in his life is to kill the god Bai Qi, how can he take Xiang Yu, a hairy boy, to heart. After dozens of moves, seeing that Xiang Yu's martial arts were not weaker than him at all, but loomed above him, he suddenly aroused the fanatical fighting spirit in his heart, and the big gun dancing in his hand fought even more desperately.

Xiang Yu originally saw that Li Xin's hair was gray and he was bullying him for his advanced age, so he wanted to take him down as soon as possible to break the Qin army. Unexpectedly, a spear in Li Xin's hand danced impenetrable, and the moves were all with sharp killing moves, and Xiang Yu had to concentrate on coping.

The two fought for a long time, but neither of them could take the other, so they had to fight with all their might. At this time, Li Xin's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and although the gun in his hand was imposing, the hand holding the spear trembled faintly every time he withdrew it.

After all, he is old, and Xiang Yu is at his peak. Moreover, in the past 20 years, he has been absent from the battle formation, and his martial arts are not as good as they were back then, if he was young and in his heyday, he might be able to have the strength to fight with Xiang Yu, but now he is a little powerless, and he is just relying on the arrogance in his heart to support himself.

Although Xiang Yu had the upper hand, he did not have the slightest joy in his heart, but was anxious.

In the past, if he encountered an opponent of equal strength, he would inevitably become more and more courageous. But today is different, Han Xin's endless actions have already made him feel numb, and even a little like a frightened bird, always feeling that Han Xin still has a back hand.

His army has been deeply trapped in it, and it has been in chaos, and at this time, only by relying on his Xiang Yu's incomparable appeal can he reunite the army's decisive heart, but he is entangled by Li Xin here and can't move.

From a bird's-eye view, the huge Xianyang City has become a boiling furnace in front of it, and the armies of two different costumes are intertwined with each other, like two giant dragons coiled together and tearing at each other. The Qin army and the coalition army had already been mixed together, regardless of each other, and every soldier was red-eyed, just desperately trying to kill the enemy in front of him.

On the city wall, the coalition army that had reached the top of the city and the remaining Qin army were still torn together, and the Qin army, which was greatly demoralized, moved forward bravely, wanting to completely crush this coalition army that had lost its backup. The more than 30,000 Chu troops and more than 20,000 soldiers from various countries who had lost their way to retreat on the city wall tried their best to resist, because behind them was the high city wall.

Han Xin's light cavalry and Meng Shi's chariots converged into one place, and continued to launch a fierce offensive against the Chu army, wanting to completely annihilate the main force of the Chu army. Yu Ziqi desperately resisted, and the army formation of the Chu army slowly retreated step by step, trying to get closer to the big camp.

On the other side, Li Xin's troops, somewhat confused by Xiang Yu's iron cavalry, regrouped, and experienced officers kept screaming in the ranks to reorganize the ranks. The rear army tightly bit the elite cavalry of the Chu army, preventing them from continuing to go deeper, and the cavalry without Xiang Yu was like losing their souls, although they were still extremely brave, but they lost their sharp spirit. The front army of the Qin army continued to attack the defending coalition forces, trying to tear through the defense line of the Yan army and enter the Chu army camp.

In the Chu camp, Fan Zeng was running around like crazy, his spotless white robe was already full of filth, but he didn't care at all. He kept shouting in a hoarse voice, and asked the officers to reorganize the detachment of soldiers who had broken back into the battalion, and then forced them to the battlefield to reinforce Yu Ziqi and Xiang Yu.

No one knows better than him that he must withstand the offensive of the Qin army, and he must resist it, otherwise it will be all over.

The defeat is like a mountain, and only by holding on to a breath can we survive to the end.

And at this moment, Li Xin was the same, the warm liquid had blurred the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't tell whether it was blood or sweat, but he didn't have time to reach out and wipe it off, just stared at Xiang Yu's every move with wide eyes.

He had been entangled with Xiang Yu for more than an hour, and in more than an hour, Xiang Yu's stormy attack made him almost out of breath, but he gritted his teeth and took it with a move. Xiang Yu's halberd technique, which had lost patience and became manic, became chaotic, but it was as powerful as a move, and every halberd swing was like a landslide and a stone crack.

Xiang Yu was really anxious, his red eyes were about to split, a halberd was as fast as a halberd, and he couldn't wait to chop Li Xin in front of him into pulp. He saw that Li Xin was already sweating profusely, and saw that blood had spilled from between Li Xin's mouth and nose, but he still refused to back down.

He didn't want to kill Li Xin now, he just wanted to ask him to get rid of his horse and return to the division as soon as possible, and take his elite cavalry to crisscross the battlefield again and be invincible, instead of losing the speed and momentum that the cavalry relied on the most in the formation like now. But Li Xin didn't let him get out, he was like an enraged old tiger, entangled with the enemy in front of him with his teeth and claws, and refused to back down.

Finally, Li Xin's body shook slightly due to his lack of physical strength, but Xiang Yu seized this excellent opportunity, and the halberd stabbed away like lightning. Li Xin hurriedly shrank away to avoid it, but it was too late, and his ribs were recuted, although he did not hurt the vital point, but he also had blood gushing out.

Xiang Yu originally thought that he would inevitably die if he was seriously injured, but when he saw that Li Xin just shook his body, he held up his body as if he was fine, and he waved his gun and wanted to fight again, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. At this time, he had already taken the opportunity to retreat a few feet to get rid of Li Xin's entanglement, hesitated slightly, and really didn't want to continue to entangle with this old man, so he turned around and ran. Li Xin didn't care about the blood on his body, but chased after him for dozens of steps, and only stopped when he saw that Xiang Yuma was fast.

Xiang Yu hurriedly rushed back to the army, and immediately gathered elite cavalry to cover the thin place in the Qin army, breaking through the Qin army's human wall. Then he turned the horse's head and killed back, relying on the impact of the horse's momentum to break through again and again, each time bringing thousands of casualties to the rear army.

Li Xin was holding on to his crumbling body at this time, and seeing that the rear army had been in chaos and was constantly penetrated under the hooves of the Chu army, he immediately and decisively abandoned the rear army, but personally commanded the front army and rushed towards the Yan army in front of him.

Li Xin seemed to be unconscious of the bleeding wounds, and still rushed to the forefront of the team, the spear splashed with blood, the shields were broken, and the Yan soldiers behind screamed miserably. Seeing that the old general was so brave, the Qin army was full of morale, and some young generals rushed towards the Yan army, for fear that others would laugh at the old general.

There was a strange scene on the battlefield, the coalition army was killed by the Qin army, the defense line was crumbling, and the rear army of the Qin army was repeatedly ravaged by Xiang Yu's iron cavalry, and the collapse was imminent.

Outside the city gate in the distance, on the city wall in the distance, the two armies are fighting together, as long as one side can't stand up and collapse, it will inevitably be a chain of complete rout.

From dawn to mid-day, and finally fighting until dusk, the blood flowed into a river on the boiling earth, echoing with the blood-colored remnant sun on the horizon, as if it was hell on earth. The Qin army and the coalition soldiers fought for a whole day, they were exhausted and could no longer help their opponents, and the Chu army formation in the Yuzi period slowly retreated to the big camp and formed a line with Xiang Yu's coalition army. Li Xin's rear army had completely collapsed under Xiang Yu's roar, and he completely routed the coalition army in front of the formation and broke into the coalition camp, turning around and fighting again with Xiang Yu, who had arrived for reinforcements.

The sky has already darkened, and the armies of both sides have exhausted the last of their strength, but they still can't give the opponent the final fatal blow, and even if thousands of new troops join the battlefield, they can easily tear through the enemy's defenses.

It's a pity that the Qin army and the coalition army have done their best to defeat their opponents, and there are no more usable troops. Han Xin saw that the matter had come to this point, and that any further entanglement would be nothing more than the loss of the lives of some soldiers, so he Mingjin withdrew his troops, and Li Xin's infantry withdrew into the city first, and the cavalry and chariots crossed to cover the slow retreat.

The coalition army did not have the strength to chase at this time, Xiang Yu was relieved when he saw that the Qin army had finally retreated, and when he saw that the Qin army was prepared, he no longer pursued, and instead gathered his troops and retreated into the camp.

The coalition army at the head of the city had been killed and wounded, and the remaining 10,000 or so remnants of the army, seeing that they had been abandoned by the army, abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Long and swore to die and was shot into a sieve by Wang Qi's order, while Yingbu was seriously injured and captured alive.

This Qin army won, but it was also a tragic victory, more than 60,000 people defending the city were killed and wounded, only less than 20,000 remained, more than half of the 40,000 chariots and horsemen who followed Han Xin out of the city were also killed and wounded, and Li Xin's Longxi army also lost more than 40,000 people.

When Li Xin, who was covered in blood, was carried in front of Han Xin, the mighty old general who had been in danger of losing blood that day was extremely pale, his eyes were closed, and only the occasional heaving chest could tell that he was not dead.

The accompanying lieutenant general choked up and said: "The general has dozens of knives and guns in his body, and the blood has already been exhausted, and the doctor said that there is no power to return to heaven, but the general insists on coming to see you for the last time." ”

Han Xin's body was already covered with blood, his left hand was almost cut off by a fierce general of the Chu army before he died, he squatted down with difficulty, and held Li Xin's palm tightly with his right hand, his eyes were full of tears. Li Xin also felt it at this time, so he forced himself to open his eyes and grinned; "It's a good fight, it's a pleasure, it's a lot of fun! I, Li Xin, can win another battle in this life, all thanks to your boy. ”

Han Xin saw that the laughter touched Li Xin's wound, making his body tremble for a while, so he couldn't help but persuade; "General Li, don't talk yet, I'll send you back to recuperate, Daqin still needs your help to help Sheji."

Li Xin turned a deaf ear, but shook his head; "No, it's too late, it's too late."

"Old Qin, go to the national disaster together, the old Qin people should have died on the battlefield, so why be afraid of life and death. This Great Qin's country, it is enough to have you. ”

After speaking, the palm that was held grabbed Han Xin fiercely, Han Xin only felt a sharp pain coming from the palm of his hand, but he heard Li Xin suddenly look up to the sky and laugh wildly; "Go and ask that Yingzheng, ask him how I am Li Xin? Should I, Li Xin, be the general of this Qin State? Hahahaha, I can't wait, I'm going to go down there and tell him, tell him that I saved Daqin, I saved his world, I want to make him ashamed and make him apologize to me! Hahahaha......."

The laughter stopped abruptly, Li Xin had already stared at his eyes and died, and Han Xin silently reached out to caress his round eyes, and his heart was sad. On the side, with tears in his eyes, he choked up and ordered; "Spread the edict of the Son of Heaven, carry General Li into Xianyang Palace, and bury him in his hometown with the gift of the Son of Heaven. Worship General Li as the general, the title of Marquis, the food of thousands of households, hereditary replacement, never take each other. ”

Opposite to the disastrous victory of the Qin army was the fiasco of the coalition army, Xiang Yu had never encountered a fiasco like today since he started his army, more than half of the 200,000 Chu troops were killed and wounded, especially the elite cavalry he relied on to become famous was killed and wounded more than seventy percent. The armies of the other princes were even more deadly and wounded, the Wei army was almost wiped out because of the impact of the Qin army first, and the Wei Wangbao saw the opportunity to run fast to pick up a life, and only collected less than 10,000 remnants after returning to the camp. The main forces of the Qi army and the Zhao army were also crushed under the impact of the Qin army, and after the battle, they each gathered tens of thousands of remnants. The Yan army's situation was slightly better, at least his subordinates still maintained their strength and did not collapse like the armies of the other three kingdoms.

The unknown fate of Yingbu and Long Ji made Xiang Yu's heart ache, and coupled with the previous Zhongli flavor, he had already lost three generals under him. To his surprise, Fan Zeng did not blame him as he expected, but lightly comforted him not to be discouraged, and then worked tirelessly to run around overnight to appease the Chu soldiers after the war.

In fact, although the coalition army was defeated, the Chu army still had 100,000 troops, and the army of the four countries was no less than 100,000, compared with the Qin army, which also suffered heavy losses in Xianyang City, the strength was still more than twice as large. What made Xiang Yu angry was that he wanted to convene the princes to discuss the matter, but he was told that every prince was seriously injured and could not come.

Although Xiang Yu was extremely angry, he was not carried away by anger. He knew that his prestige had been challenged like never before in the face of the defeat, and the princes' already resentful feelings against him took the opportunity to explode. He clenched his fists, and wanted to lead his army to kill these little people who saw the wind and rudder, but he still held back.

In the current situation, there are strong enemies outside, and if there is another internal strife within the coalition forces, they will definitely die a miserable death.

In this situation, the siege is definitely not possible. In the early morning of the second day, the Chu army withdrew from the camp and retreated eastward, and the four-nation coalition army, which had been ventilated, also slowly withdrew eastward and camped in the water. Relying on Hangu Pass in the east, and Xianyang in the west, it continued to confront the Qin army.

At this time, Xiang Yu was furious and got the news from Liu Bang. Liu Bang attacked the city all the way after going south, and after a bloody battle, he broke through the weak Hanzhong Pass, and was sent to collect the three counties of the imperial historian Bai Pang and the general Huangfu Gui saw that the Chu army was strong, so they gave up Hanzhong and retreated into Bashu, relying on the natural danger of Jiameng Pass and Sword Pavilion to resist Liu Bang.

After Liu Bang got Hanzhong, he immediately opened the granary to marry the people, and appeased the officials of the Qin State to let them continue to maintain government affairs. At the same time, the harsh Qin law was abolished, and the three chapters of the law were simply made with the fathers and elders, and the murderer died, and the wounded and the thief were punished. Liu Bang's series of actions soon won the support of the people and established a foothold in Hanzhong. Next, Liu Bang recruited his subordinates, repaired the pass, and at the same time designed to take down the accompanying Xiang Yu's henchmen and lieutenants without blood, and did not dare to offend Xiang Yu too much, so he sent this Wanchu military gift out of the pass, and let them go to Xiang Yu on their own.

Although Xiang Yu was furious after learning the news, he was helpless, he didn't even have a way to deal with the army of princes who had openly stood on their own, let alone Liu Bang, who left three points of leeway in doing things.

The coalition army was stationed in Xishui, and the strength of the Qin army was only enough to defend the city, and the pursuit was too weak, so the two armies were strangely separated by hundreds of miles for more than a month, and the coalition army neither attacked the city, nor did the Qin army send troops to recover the lost territory.

Xiang Yu was still unwilling, unwilling to retreat to Kanto like this, his arrogant temperament was unwilling to accept defeat, he knew that although the Qin army had won, he was already exhausted with scars, and as long as he launched another decent attack at this time, he would definitely be able to take Xianyang and be ashamed.

But the attitude of the allies made him feel at ease, although none of the princes of the four countries dared to stand up and openly oppose him, they were still respectful to Xiang Yu at ordinary times, but the flash in their eyes made people have to be suspicious. They often avoided Xiang Yu's gatherings in private, and they didn't know what they were discussing, and the armies of the four countries and the Chu army were stationed in separate camps, and they were stationed in a group to the north of the Chu army, the reason was that they echoed the Chu army from afar, but they were actually guarding against Xiang Yu sending troops to annex them.

Fortunately, most of the grain and grass of the coalition army were hoarded in Hangu Pass, so Xiang Yu did not have to worry about the shortage of grain and grass in a short time, but the army of the princes was not enough to trust. Xiang Yu repaired the book to Ji Bu and asked him to find a way to recruit a group of new troops from Chu to send them to Guanzhong, so that he could capture the ruined Xianyang in one go.

When Jib's messenger arrived, it was not news of the arrival of reinforcements, but great bad news.

The state of Chu was in turmoil, and King Huai listened to the admonition of Ling Yin Chenying, and took advantage of Xiang Yu's absence in Pengcheng for a long time, together with the general Lu Cheng in the city, as well as the foreign vassal Wu Rui and Gongxi, to launch a change to seize power. Ji Bu was calm and calm, and immediately dropped the 5,000 cavalry outside the city into the city after learning the news, and the cavalry wielding broadswords on the street easily routed the 30,000 rebels, and Lu Chen was killed.

Chen Ying ran out of the city with King Huai in a hurry and defected to Wu Rui, and at the same time issued an edict to the world to announce that Xiang Yu was plotting rebellion, calling on the princes not to obey his orders.
