Chapter 234: The Battle of the Central Plains (6)

"Ahh The severe pain made Zhao Wuji sit up violently and screamed.

The two big men next to him were already holding his body to death, and a military medicine technician behind him was pouring strong wine on the wound on his naked back.

Although Zhao Wuji avoided the key point under Xiang Yu's terrifying knife, he was still affected by Xiang Yu's domineering blade, and the flesh on his back was blurred, and he was almost disemboweled.

Zhao Wuji clenched his teeth, and when the wound on his back was bandaged by the military medical force, he pushed the people around him away and yelled; "Help me get on the horse."

With the support of his own soldiers, Zhao Wuji reluctantly climbed onto the horse. Zhao Wuji's face turned pale, because the severe pain made his forehead full of beads of sweat, and the hand holding the reins was trembling slightly, and he couldn't calm down and think at all. He knew that the time had come for his survival to be at stake, and if he was not careful, he would repeat the mistakes of Yingbu.

"General, what should I do?" An adjutant general next to him looked at him blankly and asked anxiously.

As far as the eye can see, the iron cavalry of the Chu army is violently impacting the phalanx formed by the Qin army in haste, and the momentum is like a bamboo. Not far away, Xiang Yu's dead soldiers of the Chu State were still rushing to kill everywhere. The Qin army is still resisting stubbornly, but it is not defeated by the courage of the Chu army, and it is retreating one after another.

Zhao Wuji's face twitched, gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice; "Beat the drums, beat the drums, put up my handsome flag, go quickly!"

"Yes." The lieutenant who had received Zhao Wuji's order immediately fell off his horse and went to deliver the military order. Soon, the handsome flag given by the King of Qin to symbolize the command of the center was beaten, and the wrestlers put up a big drum and beat the snare drum desperately, which was still clearly audible even in the noisy battlefield. The soldiers of the Qin army, who were desperately resisting the attack of the Chu cavalry on the battlefield, heard the sound of drums, and looked back to see that the banner representing the main general had been raised, and the low morale suddenly burst for a while.

"Dong Ji." Zhao Wuji, who was lying on horseback, was covered in cold sweat and roared.

"The end will be." A military marquis stepped out and replied loudly.

"You take the soldiers and horses of your headquarters, hold the sword of the Son of Heaven and personally supervise the formation, if you retreat, you will kill the captain, if you retreat, you will kill the chief, and if you retreat, you will kill the commander, and so on, until you reach me."

"No." Dong Ji gave up his order, and quickly rushed to the front line with 3,000 subordinates, forming a dense phalanx behind the Qin army that was facing the battle, and killing countless people if there was a retreat and collision with the military formation.

Zhao Wuji clenched the reins of the horse, gritted his teeth and squeezed out the last military order from his mouth, "Stop Xiang Yu and don't let him get close." ”

This matter Yu had already changed into his black horse and overlord halberd, and soon he noticed the handsome banner erected high in the Qin army's formation, and immediately turned around, leading his dead soldiers to pounce towards the handsome banner. Under the leadership of Xiang Yu and Zhong Liwei, the dead soldiers of the Chu army fiercely penetrated into the most central and tightest banner of the Qin army with a fierce attack, and as invincible, they cut into the Qin army's formation like a sharp blade splitting wood.

Xiang Yu's dead soldiers spun wildly like a storm, rushing out of countless gaps in front of the dense phalanx of the Qin army as much as possible, and the rows of Qin troops blocking were all cut to pieces by sabers and trampled into flesh by the horses' hooves. The Qin troops surging from all directions did not stop Xiang Yu's frantic offensive, and any resistance in front of his halberd was as vulnerable as Lu Yu.

Although the Qin army was brave, they tried their best and still couldn't stop the fierce offensive of the Chu army like a torrent and tsunami. Under the courage and encouragement of Xiang Yu, the Chu army became more and more courageous, and the offensive became more and more fierce, and the Qin army could not resist this strong pressure at all, and the suppressed front retreated step by step, like solid ice exposed to the scorching sun, constantly melting. The Chu army was approaching step by step, getting closer and closer to the banner of the Qin army.

The drums of the Qin army became more and more rapid, beating like thunder on the hearts of every soldier. The Qin soldiers were also red-eyed, and they didn't need the officers to give orders, they spontaneously gathered under the Heishui battle flag symbolizing the king flag, shoulder to shoulder, and the long halberd was on the long halberd, densely guarded by layers, and the soldiers in the front row kept falling, but the ones behind were not as if they were rushing up to meet the enemy.

It's a pity that they are facing Xiang Yu, the tireless God of War Xiang Yu! In front of him, any numerical superiority was meaningless, and no matter how tight the phalanx was, it could not withstand his charge.

The phalanx of the Qin army was completely disrupted, and the barbaric fighting began. The knife was broken, the halberd was broken, and the soldiers of the Qin army went up with their bare hands, pulled the rushing Chu cavalry off their horses, and rolled on the ground.

"Hold the banner." Qin Jun roared and screamed, rushing up frantically,

"Capture the flag! Capture the Flag! The Chu army roared as hard as they could, rushing forward desperately, slashing at all possible obstacles in the way.

Whether it was the Chu army or the Qin army, they all became beasts desperately trying to survive at this moment. In the whistling sound of the horses, in the billowing smoke and dust in the sky, there were tragic battles everywhere, the sonorous sound of weapons blocking, the mournful screams of the horses in front of the temporary, and the screams of the dead being dismembered by random knives. In the boiling whirlpool of soldiers and horses, under the fluttering black water battle flag, blood flowed like a river!

Xiang Yu was already covered in blood at this time, and the Qin army that died under his sword and halberd had more than 400 people, but it was still like a tireless killing machine, just desperately killing! Kill! Kill! The big halberd in his hand was crisscrossing and closing, and every time he swung it out, it was a piece of flesh and blood, and there were no living Qin soldiers in front of him.

The dense phalanx of the Qin army in front of him was beaten out of a gap by his innate divine power, and he immediately swung his halberd vigorously and shouted; "Capture the Flag."

An agile Chu army rushed forward, suddenly jumped high and grabbed the banner, pulled it down, and the Chu army suddenly broke out into cheers, but before he had time to rejoice, the Chu army had already been divided into corpses by the swarming Qin army, and the Chu army, who had mustered up enough strength, rushed up with red eyes and snatched it back. The two armies refused to give in to each other, desperately resisting each other, not retreating an inch, and the small square inch was covered with corpses and blood.

The main force of the Chu army, which was violently attacking the Qin army's array in the distance, saw the fall of the Qin army's marshal banner, and suddenly broke out into a burst of cheers like a landslide and tsunami, but on the contrary, the momentum of the Qin army plummeted, and the situation of the Qin army, which was already at a disadvantage, deteriorated greatly.

On the vast plain, iron horses flowed, soldiers and horses were boiling, and nearly 80,000 troops were rushing and clinging. Countless flags were fluttering in the wind, arrows were flying like locusts, the advance of the army was overwhelming, and the shouts of the soldiers were deafening. The phalanx of the Qin army was constantly broken through by the high-morale Chu army, and it retreated layer by layer, constantly retreating. The soldiers of the Qin army are still resisting stubbornly, but they are not far from the fate of defeat.

The Chu army continued to advance, the Qin army continued to retreat, and Xiang Yu, who had captured the handsome banner, had successfully joined his army and launched a more fierce offensive with high spirits.

Zhao Wuji was seriously injured, so he had to drag his injured body on his horse and personally command, using all means to maintain the crumbling defense line of the Qin army, but he was never able to stop the frantic attack of the Chu army.

The Chu army, which should have been exhausted after three days and three nights, was like a demon, and the fanatical follower Xiang Yu continued to rush forward.

"General, let's withdraw." Seeing that the vanguard of the Chu army was already approaching the Chinese army, an officer hurriedly shouted at Zhao Wuji.

"Someone, drag him down and cut him down." Zhao Wuji ordered mercilessly.

"Order the three armies to fight to the death, and those who dare to abandon the war will be killed."

Zhao Wuji slowly drew his saber and tried to straighten his body, "The whole army is under me, and they are all fighting to the death with the Chu army!" If there is anyone who takes half a step back, cut it! ”

The tenacity and tenacity of the Qin army far exceeded Xiang Yu's expectations, he originally thought that after repeated setbacks, the Qin army should have collapsed long ago, but he did not expect that there would still be no rout under this circumstance. This also stimulated a strong desire to win in his heart, and he launched an increasingly fierce attack on the Qin army.

He knew very well in his heart that he would be exhausted in one go, then decay, and three times. The Chu army he led was a tired army, although it completely annihilated the Qin army in the first battle of Yanshi, but under the stubborn resistance of the Qin army, its own losses were extremely heavy, and although it was supplemented with more than 10,000 iron cavalry brought reinforcements by Zhong Liwei, it was already weak. The reason why he has been able to hold on to this day and still maintain a strong will to fight is nothing more than his personal charm and successive big victories that have kept his morale down. But once it is long, or the war is deadlocked, it is difficult to imagine whether the Chu army can still hold out.

Therefore, he must destroy the resistance of the Qin army as soon as possible, and do everything possible to make the Qin army lose the consciousness of seeking war.

But his complexion changed when he heard the sound of a horn behind him, a voice he was all too familiar with, and it was the same voice that his old rival, Qin Jun, used when he charged.

Wang Jing, who came out of the camp to meet Zhao Wuji's troops, finally rushed to the battlefield at the most critical moment.

The first to arrive was only the 5,000 vanguard cavalry led by Wang Jing himself, but the large force was still far away. Wang Jing didn't have time to wait for the rear army, so he did not hesitate to divide the five thousand cavalry into four divisions and launched a fierce attack on the rear of the Chu army. At the same time, let the follow-up people run back and forth, trample the dust in the sky, and turn into several suspicious soldiers.

The sudden appearance of the Qin army's reinforcements made the Chu army, who was in high spirits, stunned for a moment, and there was a cloud of smoke and dust turning between them, and faintly saw a flag flipping, as if there were thousands of troops and horses coming towards the killing, and the people's hearts were in turmoil for a while.

Xiang Yu was furious, seeing that the victory that was about to be won was suddenly snatched away, how could he bear it. Turning the horse's head, he was about to lead the army to personally rush to kill the comer, but was pulled by Zhong Liwei.

Zhongli said bitterly; "King Xiang, today our army has exhausted its strength and weakened, the reinforcements of the Qin army have arrived, and it is pointless to force the fight any longer, it can only increase the casualties, we should withdraw immediately."

Xiang Yu frowned, and roared angrily: "Get out, even if he Qin army comes with more reinforcements, how can I, Xiang Yu, be afraid." ”

Zhong Liwei refused to let go, and still insisted; "King Xiang, these brothers are the essence of our Great Chu, and today's situation is no longer beneficial, and it will only increase casualties if they survive. If it's really not worth wasting here, why don't you go back and cultivate your strength and then do a decisive battle? ”

Although Xiang Yu was full of anger in his chest, he also knew that what Zhong Liwei said was the truth, so he had to suppress his anger and shouted and ordered; "Pass on my military order, and the whole army will retreat."

The Chu army came like the wind and went like the wind, Wang Jing had few soldiers, and the main force was still a few miles away, so it was just a bluff here, so naturally he didn't dare to pursue. After joining with Zhao Wuji's troops, he joined forces and slowly retreated westward, entering Taicang Pass.

In the battle, the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, losing nearly half of the 20,000 horses, but it was lucky to keep most of the main force, but the main general Zhao Wuji was seriously injured and unconscious.

Although it was a little regrettable, Xiang Yu had successfully eaten two partial divisions, one south and one north, and solved the great problem of the Qin army's henchmen threatening the rear of the Chu State. The ratio of the strength of the Qin army and the Chu army in the Central Plains battlefield has changed significantly, Xiang Yu took advantage of the victory to launch a counteroffensive, and regained dozens of cities in the Central Plains one after another.

PS: Kavinka has been so good lately, he has no idea at all. It is estimated that when it comes to the decisive battle, I always feel that a lot of it has not been written, but I don't know where to start. Hehe, I was going to finish writing this year, but it seems to be a little difficult, so I'll do my best.

"Born Han Xin" can persist here, and it is indeed with your support that I have persevered, and I have been working hard, I hope you can see Jiangnan's efforts, treat the author with a more tolerant heart, and give me some helpful advice.

Thank you!
