Chapter 177: The Peak Turns Around
The sword is the king of soldiers, and if he gets a small success, he can kill people in ten steps; If you have a great success, you will be ambushed with corpses all over the place between steps.
No matter how strong the shield is, no matter how fine the armor is, it is like paper paste in front of the fish intestines, and it can be broken with a snap of a finger.
The fish intestines flew up and down, shining in the cold moonlight, and it was like a ball of silver light flying around Han Xin, and wherever the silver light went, the soldiers of the Chu army were all twisted into pieces, and there was no enemy of Han Xin in a round.
Originally, everyone thought that the Chu army was powerful by virtue of its numbers, and Han Xin was just alone, even if his martial arts were strong, he would die of exhaustion. But the fact was beyond everyone's expectations, in this hand-to-hand combat, it was Han Xin, who was weak, who had the advantage, like a killing machine that never stopped, constantly killing one by one Chu soldiers in front of him.
Yu Ziqi held the saber tightly in the distance, and his heart was undoubtedly dripping blood. These elite Chu troops were recruited by him from Huiji, and they were all his descendants. Xiang Yu, who was originally rushing to reinforce the Xingyang front, was chased by Yu Ziqi out of the city with a tiger talisman in the starry night, and finally intercepted this army halfway and transferred back to Pengcheng.
According to the military system of the Chu army, Yu Ziqi was only the county guard of Pengcheng, and he had no right to mobilize troops outside Pengcheng, even if he was Xiang Yu's henchman, he was suspected of exceeding his authority and violating the system. It's just that although Pengcheng is the capital of Chu, it is now far away from the front line, so there are not many garrisons in the city, only more than 20,000 ordinary troops, not elite. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Yu Ziqi still risked being impeached by the ministers to mobilize this elite, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't intercept Han Xin.
Seeing that the elites of the Chu army fell one by one under Han Xin's sword, the corners of Yu Ziqi's mouth twitched, but he forced himself to calm down. Only then did he understand Han Xin's intentions, which was nothing more than to use the melee to cling to the side of the Chu army, so as not to give the army time to form a formation and release arrows, so as to offset the advantage of the Chu army.
Now that he knew it in his heart, Yu Ziqi decisively ordered the Chu army to retreat, leaving only more than 100 people to fight hand-to-hand with Han Xin, while the others took fifty steps back, and raised their guns in unison, wanting to encircle Han Xin with a phalanx.
Han Xin also saw what Yu Ziqi was thinking, he knew that if the shield array was one, even if he had the power to reach the sky, he could only be trapped in it, and only now take advantage of the chaos to kill the generals, so that he could have a glimmer of life.
A sword split the person blocking in front of him in half, Han Xinhu's body bowed, and then his feet pushed hard, and he jumped forward violently. Han Xin turned into a phantom like an arrow from the string, and while the Chu army was still in chaos, he broke free from the entanglement of his opponent, and his body flew up into the air like a big bird, high above everyone. With gusts of wind, coupled with the previous accumulation, it burst out violently at this moment, and the fish intestines were clenched in his hands, pointing to the Yuzi period not far away in the air.
Behind Yu Ziqi was the dense Chu army, which was not dispatched in the previous battle as a reserve. Since the main general is here, this is undoubtedly the most heavily defended place in the Chu army, but Han Xin chose this place, which made Yu Ziqi stunned. When he saw Han Xin flying over, he immediately aroused the arrogance in his chest, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he drew his sword in his hand and shouted loudly; "Kill him."
The Chu army behind him swarmed up, wanting to split the body of Han Xin, who had fallen to the ground with all his strength. Among them, there were several masters in the Chu army, and these masters Yu Ziqi hid them by his side, just wanting to let the ordinary soldiers consume most of Han Xin's physical strength first, and then they would kill him, and now it seems that it has come to the time when they have to use it.
Han Xin didn't do what they wanted, his body twisted in mid-air at a jaw-dropping angle, turned around and tiptoed to the ground. When the toes touched the ground, a slight crack suddenly appeared on the ground around the contact point, spreading towards the surroundings, and Han Xin's whole person bounced up at high speed like a whirlwind, violently attacking in the direction of Yu Ziqi.
There was a splash of flesh and blood in front of Han Xin, and the sound of Jin Ge intersecting and swords entering flesh came and went, which sounded especially poignant in the night sky. Although the Chu army was dense, it was still killed by Han Xinsheng out of a bloody path, although it was slow, Han Xin still stepped on the blood step by step towards the Yuzi period. Several masters in the Chu army around him were entangled with him, not retreating an inch, and relying on tacit cooperation to be able to hold on.
Han Xin's contempt deeply stabbed Yu Ziqi's proud self-esteem, if he retreated at this time, he would definitely lose his prestige, and he would no longer have the face to command the three armies in the Chu army before. So he raised his sword and roared, and rushed up to kill the first, wanting to entangle Han Xin and then capture him in one fell swoop with more people.
Han Xin's attack in the Yuzi period was naturally unbelievable, and the two of them had already collided fiercely together. The swords intersected, and the two of them splashed blood at the same time, Han Xin was attacking Yuzi with all his might, and he was determined to win a sword, so he had no time to take care of the Chu army masters who attacked behind him, so he could only rely on his inner armor to take a heavy knife.
Han Xin's face froze, and blood couldn't help but overflow from the corners of his mouth, although the inner armor could block the killing move for him, it couldn't remove the huge power from the sword. And Yu Zi period was hit hard by a move, and was slashed from the bottom of the belly to the cheek by the fish intestines from the bottom up, although he narrowly shrank when he was in danger, which avoided being disemboweled, but he was also hit hard, and he endured severe pain in shock.
He didn't expect Han Xin to be desperate to come here, and he would kill him, the chief general of the Chu army, with one move. In fact, Han Xinzhong was also helpless, although he did not fall behind in the slightest in his moves, he relied on strong support to do so. If it is for a long time, it will inevitably run out of oil and die of exhaustion, and the only way to win is to fight fast and take advantage of the chaos to win. If he can kill Yu Zi Period, the Chu army will definitely be leaderless, and his resistance will be reduced by half.
It's a pity that in the end, it was a bad move, so that Yu Ziqi escaped with his life, although he was unwilling, but he didn't have time to regret it, because the sword attacked from behind was no longer allowed to be sent. Han Xin had completely abandoned his back in order to kill Yu Ziji, and one of the masters of the Chu State had already guessed that Han Xin must have an inner armor to protect himself, so he chose the sword to fall on Han Xin's head.
At this time, the sword wind had arrived, but Han Xin was already unable to dodge, and suddenly jumped high in a hurry, and the whole person suddenly skyrocketed by several feet.
"Dang!" With a bang, a sword that cut off his neck turned into a sweep on his waist. When the master of the Chu State was taken aback, the fish intestine in Han Xin's hand took advantage of the situation to slash horizontally, sweeping at the side of his head, and his head was suddenly in a different place. At this time, the heavy sword of another Chu State master had already attacked, and it slashed firmly on Han Xin's chest. This master is known for his great strength in the Chu State, and now he is bursting out of force within a close distance, and the strength in his hands is not limited to a thousand jun.
Han Xin only felt a huge force coming, and his internal organs seemed to be disturbed, and suddenly his throat was sweet, and he spit out a mouthful of blood with "wow", but his body flew high with this force, floating away like a kite with a broken string.
Han Xinfei's body slammed into the inner wall, and the fragile wall suddenly collapsed, splashing a cloud of smoke and dust. Han Xin suddenly rose upside down, killing the Chu army that came to surround him as fast as lightning, without the slightest sign of serious injury.
When the soldiers of Chu saw Yu Ziqi fall to the ground and be embraced, they didn't know how to live or die, and their hearts trembled. In a panic, he was attacked by Han Xin and just struggled to protect himself, and when he saw him abandon himself, he secretly called it lucky, how dare he go to chase after him.
Han Xin's whole body tightened, like a cloud of silver light quickly swept in front of the Chu army's array, turned over and jumped over the high wall, and his figure disappeared into the night.
Yu Ziqi, who was helped up by everyone in a panic, had already reacted at this time, and was furious when he saw Han Xin fleeing. Pushed away the person in front of him violently, and said sharply; "I'm fine, I'll chase Han Xin, he's seriously injured and can't escape far."
"Pass my general's order, order General Cao to strictly guard the city, and all the garrisons will be on the city wall to be on guard, if Han Xin is allowed to escape, he will bring his head to me."
Yu Ziqi hurriedly gave several military orders, and then swept to Yu Miaoyi, who was still standing in the cold wind in the attic, and couldn't help but hate her in his heart, glaring at her fiercely. Yu Miaoyi was unconscious, still looking at the direction where Han Xin had gone, and the corners of his mouth raised a slight smile.
In the end, it was his own sister-in-law, although Yu Ziqi hated her selfishness and willfulness, but she was still a little worried that her thin body would not be able to stand it in the cold wind, so she ordered again; "Someone, send the young lady back to the room and be grounded, no one is allowed to approach without my permission."
After Han Xin escaped from Yufu, he ran all the way down the street. He knew that he was far from being out of danger now, and as long as he was still in Pengcheng, the Yu Zi Period could kill him at any time.
What's even worse is that the injuries on his body are not light, especially the last blow of the powerful man, which almost knocked out his internal organs, and when he runs, the wound hurts his heart and lungs, and he doesn't know how many ribs are broken. But he didn't have time to stop and rest now, the pursuers of the Chu army could catch up at any time, and he had to escape from Pengcheng before he was besieged, otherwise today would really be the day when he Han Xin was killed.
He also thought about sneaking into a house or a remote place to take refuge temporarily, and then wait for an opportunity to escape later, but he quickly rejected this idea. Pengcheng is not as good as other places, this is the capital of the Chu State, since it is the national capital, the control of the Chu State over this place must be very high, if he hides, even if he can escape tonight, it will definitely be discovered by the Chu people in the city. After all, he also has to eat, and he also needs medicine, and he is undoubtedly waiting for death with his eyes closed in the city.
Moreover, since Yu Zi was determined to succeed in the ambush in the palace, the martial law outside the city must not be very strict. If it is after today, then Pengcheng will definitely lock up the whole city and be on strict guard, and it will be even more difficult to escape at that time.
Rather than waiting to be killed in the city, it is better to escape today.
After passing through several streets, Han Xin finally came across the patrol squad of the Chu army. These squads were just used by the Chu army to patrol and warn, not the main force, so Han Xin didn't have much effort to solve them all, but his whereabouts were also exposed by the Chu army's signal before he died.
At this time, he was already close to the city wall, Han Xin simply let go of his hands and feet and did not hide his traces, but raised his sword and went all the way to the city wall, and anyone who tried to stop him was killed by a sword.
Soon rushed to the city wall, Han Xin looked up and couldn't help but secretly complain, it seemed that the Yuzi period had already been arranged, and the city wall was already densely packed with Chu soldiers.
The walls of Pengcheng are about six zhang high, and the walls of the inner walls are extremely smooth, which are made of polished masonry, and there is no place to climb on the inner walls. Although Han Xin is strong in martial arts, he will never be able to jump over the city wall out of thin air, and I am afraid that no one can do it under the Nine Heavens. Therefore, if he wanted to get out of the city, he could only climb the city wall by means of a stairway from the city gate, and finally jump down.
Therefore, Yu Ziqi arranged a heavy guard at the city gate, waiting for Han Xin to throw himself into the net.
Han Xin sighed secretly, knowing that the battle to the death could not be avoided, so he had to take a strong breath, roar and climb up, and fight with the Chu army that rushed down from the city wall in the ladder.
Han Xin knew that this was a life-and-death situation, so he couldn't retreat, so he had to force down the injuries on his body, grabbed a big knife in his right hand, grabbed a big knife in his left hand, took a horse step, and attacked wildly, the momentum was fierce and powerful, far surpassing the enemy. These Chu troops were just ordinary soldiers, and they couldn't help but be frightened when they saw Han Xin so brave, although they didn't dare to retreat because of the military order, but they also seemed very timid, and they were actually killed by Han Xin from top to bottom on the city wall.
Han Xin jumped on the city wall, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his heel was weak and he almost fell, knowing that it was a precursor to physical exhaustion. Before he could stand still, he saw the murderous sword light coming from three directions, Han Xin hurriedly leaned over and avoided it, but he was shocked into a cold sweat.
It turned out that the three masters of the Chu State had already received the flying report from the guards, and they specially rushed to help, wanting to kill Han Xin on the city wall. Seeing that Han Xin actually avoided it, he couldn't help but show a fierce light, and stepped forward to besiege it violently.
This kind of hand-to-hand combat is extremely dangerous, either you die or I die, Han Xin was seriously injured at this time, and he was close to running out of oil. Under a rush attack, the left and right were clumsy, and the danger was full of dangers. These three people are all experienced fighters, and they also see Han Xin's disadvantages, and they don't give him any chance to escape as soon as they make a move.
The three sides were full of swords and swords, blood couldn't stop splashing out of the wound, and after barely holding on to dozens of moves, Han Xin's legs were weak and he couldn't support it anymore. Han Xin didn't know how many sword wounds he had suffered at this time, and his heart was finished. Immediately launched a ruthless attack, regardless of himself, forcibly mobilized his strength and swept away thousands of troops at once, sweeping the enemy who pounced.
Han Xin's more than ten wounds all over his body burst and splashed blood together, and he couldn't support it anymore and knelt down, secretly thinking that this time was really over, and pulled out the dagger with his backhand, just about to understand himself first. A hero in his own life must not die at the hands of an unknown person.
This was a sudden anomaly, the sound of a crossbow sounded, and a crossbow arrow flew through the chest of the person who was about to take Han Xin's life. The man screamed, and his body was carried high by the force of the crossbow arrow, and he fell to the top of the wall, and it seemed that he would not survive.
Everyone couldn't help but look towards the place where the crossbow arrows came from, but they saw a girl in black with a pretty face on the city tower not far away, aiming at this side. Seeing that the sneak attack was successful, he decisively threw down the crossbow machine, drew his sword and jumped down the city tower to kill the general.
The Chu army turned around to meet the enemy in shock, but was defeated by this sudden new force. The girl was agile, her swordsmanship was skillful, and she was a cutting-edge division ready to go, and the Chu army, who had been killed for a while, leaned forward and backwards, and soon killed Han Xin's side, and said in a low voice; "Can you still go?"
Han Xin stood up with a strong breath, waved his sword and stood side by side with her to defend against the enemy. The two of them stomped against the wall with their backs to kill, and when they got closer, the girl grabbed Han Xin and said loudly; "Jump."
Han Xin jumped off the city wall with her without hesitation, and when she was about to land, a hook and lock flew out of the girl's sleeve out of thin air, and it was fiercely nailed to the city wall to slow down the fall. As soon as he kicked the city wall with both feet, he crossed the moat with his strength, fell on the other side of the river, and then helped Han Xin staggered and disappeared into the vast night.
Yu Ziqi, who was supported to arrive at the head of the city, happened to see this, so he had to sigh unwillingly, and ordered to go out of the city to pursue. But in his heart, he knew that the best opportunity to kill Han Xin had been lost.
Covering his wounds, he closed his eyes and looked up to the sky with pain on his face, it seemed that God really blessed Dachu, this Han Xin really shouldn't die.
In a cave in the wilderness, Xingyu looked at Han Xin, who was bandaging his bare upper body with his teeth, with more than a dozen wounds on his body, and there were faint bones in the deep places, so he couldn't help but say; "You're all right, look at how badly you've been injured."
Han Xin just frowned and said softly, "What is this?" I didn't die from my more serious injuries. I don't think God will let me Han Xin be taken away so easily. ”
Xingyu couldn't help but be silent, and when he saw Han Xin laboriously applying medicine to the wound on his back, he said; "I'll help you with the medicine."
Han Xin hesitated slightly, then nodded, and handed the medicine bottle to Xingyu. He originally didn't trust Xingyu very much, and he was wary of her everywhere in his heart. But today, seeing her sacrificing herself to save her life, most of the estrangement in her heart has disappeared.
The medicine powder was naturally painful when applied to the wound, and Han Xin couldn't help but tremble his muscles slightly, and then relaxed again. After Xingyu was bandaged, Han Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his complexion softened, he reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at Xingyu and asked; "Why are you so here by chance?"
Xingyu glanced at him, "Just kidding, do you think you really have such good luck, it's not that I found out that the Chu army was abnormally moving, so I guessed that you might be in trouble, so I came to Pengcheng to go around, but I didn't expect to pick you up." ”
Speaking of this, Xingyu couldn't help but smile proudly, in the past, Han Xin had a feeling of smugness when he saw her, but now he finally had something to ask her, so he said with a smile: "You said that I saved you, how should you repay me." “
Han Xin smiled and said with a pale face; "Don't worry, I, Han Xin, have always had clear grievances, today you are kind to me, I will definitely repay the favor, if you have any requirements, but it doesn't hurt to say."
Xingyu raised the corners of his mouth and said with a grin; "Okay, that's all I've been waiting for. As for what the requirements are, I haven't figured it out yet, so I'll keep the accounts first, and I'll talk about it later. ”
PS: Cheekily ask for subscriptions and red tickets, even if you click, you don't want to say anything else, this result is really disheartening, hehe. In the past two months, Jiangnan has been very busy because of the transfer of work, and the time to write books every day can only be squeezed from the time in sleep, and if you have a heart, you can also see that every day I am in a hurry to finish the manuscript a few minutes before 12 o'clock in the morning.
