Chapter Ninety-Seven: The End of the Overlord
Seeing Xiang Yu's sudden charge, those New Carthaginian soldiers couldn't help but be anxious, and they opened fire one after another, trying to block the other party's charge. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Under the bombardment of artillery, Xiang Yu and his men were indeed killed by many people, but this also affected the leaders of the rebel army who had not yet had time to surrender. In order not to stay where they are and wait for death, these people have no choice but to follow Xiang Yu and lead the troops to break through outside.
Liu Bang was caught in the middle of a large group of people, and involuntarily went out, one shell after another exploded around him, to say that his luck was really good, these explosions did not hurt him. However, because he was too flustered, when one of the shells that was too close to him exploded, Liu Bang fell directly from his horse because he was too surprised.
When he fell off the horse, Liu Bang's first reaction was that he felt that he was dead, after all, it was a mess now, everyone was in a hurry to break through, and he would not take care of the few people who fell down at all, he would soon be trampled to death by people or horses.
But just as Liu Bang was about to close his eyes and wait for death, a big hand suddenly grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up from the ground.
Liu Bang was so surprised that he opened his eyes and found that it was Xiang Yu who saved him.
Speaking of Xiang Yu's batch of black horses, they were indeed powerful, even if there was one more person on their backs, their speed was not much slower than that of other cavalrymen, and they rushed to the front of the New Carthaginians with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang at a very fast speed. By this time, the New Carthaginian soldiers had already laid a dense array of guns in front of the formation.
The phalanx spear that was more than six meters long even Xiang Yu didn't dare to collide head-on, he could only drive his war horse, accelerated for a while, and finally jumped up, trying to jump over this gun forest.
However, as the biggest nemesis of the cavalry, how could this phalanx pikemen let the other party pass so easily, while Xiang Yu let the sitting black horse jump up, the pikemen in the front rows were still flat-ended spears, the tips of the spears pointed straight ahead, and the pikemen in the back rows stabbed the spears in their hands upwards in unison.
After a few pops, the horse's abdomen was immediately pierced by five or six spear tips at the same time, and in the tragic neighing, the horse's upward leap was cut off, and its whole body smashed towards the ground. Seeing this, the spearmen avoided it so as not to be injured by their horses.
Xiang Yu was heartbroken when he saw his beloved horse being hit hard, but at this time on the battlefield, he didn't have time to grieve and feel sad, and at the same time as he landed, he pulled out the saber on his waist, blocked a few spears that stabbed at him, and then dragged Liu Bang, who was at a loss, towards his closest subordinates.
However, how could those New Carthaginian soldiers easily let this enemy general go, and launched attacks on him, trying to slow down the other party's pace. However, because the phalanx spear was not a weapon suitable for hand-to-hand combat after all, and the seriously injured black horse held his last breath, he suddenly got up from the ground again, and then slammed into it with his body, knocking over a large number of Neo-Carthaginian soldiers, which turned out to be a way for Xiang Yuqing.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiang Yu dragged Liu Bang, and finally killed him and joined his subordinates. At this time, most of the cavalry of the rebel army had been overturned by the gun array, but the ferocious impact of tens of thousands of cavalry also caused some small loopholes in the defense line in some sections. Seeing this, Xiang Yu immediately led a group of his subordinates to kill the nearest gap. In the end, after paying tens of thousands of casualties, the brave and invincible Xiang Yu finally led his men to break through the enemy's gun defense.
However, all this is only the beginning for the rebels who broke through, the phalanx pikemen are mainly used to deal with cavalry, and when they deal with infantry, they will be much inferior, especially when there is a brave general like Xiang Yu among the enemy.
After repelling the enemy's phalanx pikemen, Xiang Yu and the other rebel leaders found that behind the pikemen were a larger number of enemy heavy swordsmen, these heavy swordsmen were armed with steel shields in one hand and steel broadswords in the other.
However, in the face of all this, Xiang Yu did not have any fear in his eyes, and after roaring, he took the lead in the charge.
"Throw!" The New Carthaginian heavy swordsmen opposite them threw a heavy javelin in unison amid the shouts of the officers.
Xiang Yu relied on his excellent martial arts, dancing spears, knocking these javelins all away, but not everyone has his strength, most of them faced the dense and violent javelin rain, they were more or less hit, even Liu Bang was pierced in the left shoulder by a javelin, and one stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, a volunteer soldier beside him saw this and hurriedly helped him.
Liu Bang continued to charge while reluctantly reluctant, while looking at Xiang Yu in front of him, who had already entered the enemy formation like a whirlwind, his heart was full of resentment. That's right! It's resentment! Although the other party only saved his life not long ago, in his opinion, if the other party hadn't suddenly launched a breakthrough regardless of it, they and the other rebels would not have been innocently implicated. Now Liu Bang really can't wait to kill this reckless man who dragged all of them into danger.
But in the end, Liu Bang still didn't make a move on Xiang Yu, after all, now that the facts have been created, the two sides have been completely killed, even if he kills Xiang Yu with a black hand, the enemy may not let go of these rebel leaders. So he could only follow behind the other party with a stomach full of resentment, constantly charging and charging, trying to break through to the outside.
In a tragic battle, Liu Bang didn't know how many enemies they had killed, and he didn't know how many men and horses they had lost because of it, in short, just when he was about to lose his ability to hold on and fall, their eyes were finally empty, and they could no longer see the enemy troops who were intercepted.
Finally, after some counting, Liu Bang and the other leaders of the rebel army sadly found that the original million army under their command now had less than 10,000 horses left, and almost all of them were wounded.
"Damn Xiang Yu! I can't bear it anymore, this time it's either him or I! When it gets dark, I'm going to take people like those neo-Carthaginians to surrender, and then bring people to kill this reckless man, which of you will go with me? After the sadness, Qi Wangtian pretended to open his mouth and proposed with a murderous face.
"I'll go with you!" Liu Bang, who had already had this idea in his heart, immediately spoke out when he heard this, he knew very well that although they fought desperately to get out of the encirclement, it was impossible to resist the enemy's next attack in the case of a large loss of troops. Rather than die in vain at that time, it is better to surrender as soon as possible and save one of your lives.
"Count me in!"
"I'll go too!"
"Kill Xiang Yu's bastard!"
Other rebel leaders also responded one after another.
So, after dark, these rebel leaders sneaked out of the camp with their cronies and went to surrender to Shi Jinshui. At this time, Xiang Yu was too tired because he had been leading the charge and fighting during the day, and he had already slept like a dead pig. I didn't even realize that I had been sold by a group of teammates.
In the end, Xiang Yu was forcibly woken up by his own guards, and by this time they were already surrounded by the Neo-Carthaginians.
Xiang Yu walked out of the camp in a daze, but found that Liu Bang and several other leaders of the rebel army were actually standing in the enemy camp opposite, shouting at the rebel soldiers in the barracks to surrender. Since many of these soldiers belonged to them in the first place, it was not long before thousands of them surrendered. In the end, only more than 3,000 people remained who insisted on not surrendering.
Liu Bang and the others glanced at each other, their eyes were filled with jealousy, these soldiers were obviously impressed by Xiang Yu's personal charm, and were ready to follow each other to the death. They asked themselves if they were also faced with this desperate situation of certain death, and their men would definitely not be so stupid to die with them. Who said that they didn't have the brave and invincible combat power like Xiang Yu, and they were used to completely impress these big-headed soldiers!
But no matter what, Xiang Yu, this guy, today is completely at the end of his life, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, he has absolutely no way to escape.
In order to show his righteousness, Liu Bang actually opened his mouth and said to Xiang Yu: "Brother Xiang, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie. We have no hope of turning the tables now, so you should surrender as obediently as we do! This will at least save a small life..."
"Shut up!" But before Liu Bang's words were finished, he was interrupted by Xiang Yu's loud shout.
