Chapter Ninety-Eight: True Heroes
After a loud shout interrupted Liu Bang's words, Xiang Yu's eyes swept over the faces of the rebel leaders one by one, and read out their names one by one: "Wei Bao, Tian Jiao, Jing Ju, Zhao Xie, Han Cheng, Zang Di and... ”
"You guys! I don't care what you did in the past and what you rebelled for, but when we first started to revolt and gather, didn't we all work hard for the common goal of destroying the tyrannical Qin! I, Xiang Yu, admit that until now this moment, I have not changed my original intention, even if I pay for my life, I will fight against Tyranny Qin to the end. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut you... look at yourself, what have you become now? In order to save your own life, you did not hesitate to compromise and surrender to the tyrannical Qin, are you so worthy of our dead rebel soldiers? ”
Under Xiang Yu's questioning, Liu Bang and the others all lowered their heads in shame and no longer dared to look at Xiang Yu. Under Xiang Yu's reminder, they also woke up, right! They are the leaders of the rebels! It's the one who led everyone to rise up against the tyrannical rule! But from the above time, their minds began to change! Maybe it's from the fact that their power is getting bigger and bigger, and their status is getting higher and higher. They're starting to change! One by one, they began to learn to use their power to seek personal benefits for themselves, and then when the tyrannical Qin was not extinguished, they enjoyed the luxury of peace of mind one by one and lived the life of a superior person.
Especially among them, people like Liu Bang, while seeking personal gains, even make some stumbling blocks for their own friendly troops from time to time, dig into other people's corners or something. Thinking of the things he had done, Liu Bang couldn't help but die of shame in his heart.
"And now, you guys, you have deprived me of the last chance to fight fairly, and you are not worthy of being the leader of the rebel army at all!"
Xiang Yu's last sentence shocked these rebel leaders into silence, and then they understood why Xiang Yu didn't discuss it with them at that time, and launched a breakthrough. It turned out that he just wanted to help these wavering guys, the last decision, so that he could do this last battle with him, so that everyone could leave a heroic name in history! Sadly, none of them, selfish people who wanted to save their lives, could wake up to Xiang Yu's intentions at that time, but instead hated him and shamelessly betrayed each other.
Just when these rebel leaders were all speechless by Xiang Yu, Spartacus suddenly strode to the front of the formation and said loudly to Xiang Yu: "Xiang Yu! Do you want a fair fight at the end? All right! I'll give you a chance, you have 3,000 people, and I have 3,000 people, let's have a big battle in the end, this time we must divide the winner and lose, and see if you, the god of war in the East, are powerful, or I, the first warrior of Thrace, are stronger! ”
Xiang Yu looked at Spartacus's serious expression, was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "Haha..." Good! I, Xiang Yu, agree to fight with you, you are a real warrior, if you can die in your hands, it will be much better than becoming the soul of those Qin people! ”
"Teacher, do you want to..." Liao Hua saw that Spartacus was at this time, and he still had to play a fair battle with Xiang Yu, so he couldn't help but look at Shi Jinshui with an inquiring gaze.
"Let them go! Xiang Yu is an opponent worthy of respect, just give him a decent way to die! Shi Jinshui replied to Liao Hua's words, and he was also thinking about what Xiang Yu did in history, just like he said, this is indeed a respectable opponent, although he has the invincible courage in the world, no one dares to shake his edge on the battlefield, but he does not rely on his own strength to bully the weak, just like the Hongmen banquet in history, his strategist Fan Zeng has always persuaded him to kill Liu Bang, the future enemy, but Xiang Yu is for this kind of danger, The practice of bullying the weak has always resisted, and he did not cooperate with Fan Zeng's plan at all, so that Liu Bang finally managed to escape. Even after he officially broke with Liu Bang and became an enemy on the battlefield, he was also merciful to this former anti-Qin comrade, he once captured Liu Bang's family and had the opportunity to kill these people, but he still didn't do it in the end. From this, we can see what a noble person this is, and his behavior is the same as his performance on the battlefield, he is upright, straightforward, and never disdains to carry out the conspiracy and cunning, bullying the weak, and despicable acts.
Pity! Good people don't live long. In the end, the despicable and shameless Liu Bang became the ancestor of the Han Dynasty and established the Han Dynasty, while Xiang Yu killed himself by the Wujiang River.
At this time, Spartacus had already selected three thousand of the most elite heavy scythes from among his subordinates, came to Xiang Yu, and was ready for battle.
"This is not fair, those soldiers under Xiang Yu, not only are they all injured, but also the armor is incomplete, but everyone on your side is heavily armored, after the fight, the soldiers on Xiang Yu's side may not even be able to cut your armor, this is not a fair duel at all!" However, after seeing the full set of heavy plate armor on the heavy scythes under Spartacus, Jing Ju suddenly protested loudly.
Jing Ju, the leader of the rebel army who had already surrendered, suddenly opened his mouth to speak for Xiang Yu, causing the surrounding New Carthage soldiers and Qin soldiers to cast strange glances at him, as if he was questioning each other; Brat! Which side are you on?
However, after Spartacus heard this, he nodded in agreement, and then asked his entourage to step forward and remove the armor from his body.
"Brethren! We don't take advantage of each other! After removing his armor, Spartacus turned to his men.
Hearing Spartacus say this, these heavily armed scythes also removed their heavy armor without saying a word, and for a while, the field was filled with the clanging sound of armor smashing to the ground.
After removing the armor, these heavy scythes all revealed the solid muscles and hideous scars on their bodies one by one, which made them not only not lose their momentum because of the loss of heavy armor defense, but also exuded a fierce aura like ancient beasts all over their bodies. Some of the less timid people on the field were rushed by this momentum, and their legs couldn't help but weaken.
And Xiang Yu and his three thousand remnants, in the face of this group of terrible opponents, did not have the slightest fear, these were ready to die generously as early as the moment they rejected Liu Bang's persuasion and chose to follow Xiang Yu. Being able to die a vigorous battle in a fair battle with the enemy is already the best outcome for them. As for whether the opponent is strong or not, it doesn't mean much to them.
"Kill!" With Spartacus's order, the three thousand heavily armed giant scythes who had taken off their armor rushed towards Xiang Yu and them in unison with a loud roar.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu turned around and said loudly to the three thousand remnants behind him: "All the monarchs will come with me to complete our last battle!" In this battle, we have no advance or retreat, and we will rest until we die! ”
"There is no advance or retreat! Till death rest! The three thousand remnants shouted in unison, and all of them saw the scorching battle intent in their eyes, but not the slightest fear of death.
Liu Bang and other leaders of the rebel army watched this tragic scene from the sidelines, and their eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, wishing that they could join the battle at this time. But none of this is possible, they have now shamefully surrendered to the enemy, and they are no longer qualified to join the battle.
"There is no advance or retreat! Till death rest! ”
Under the leadership of Xiang Yu, the three thousand remnants shouted slogans while raising their weapons one after another and launched a charge against their enemies.
A few seconds later, the two armies collided violently, and although Spartacus's hoplites had taken off their armor, their strong and tall size still gave them the advantage, and the first moment the two armies made contact, they knocked the rebels who rushed to the front into the air. Then, as these heavily armed scythes swung down their scythes, a large number of people were cut in two on the spot.
These heavily armed scythes are true to the elite of a hundred battles, and they don't swing their scythes too fast, but they imply the rhythm of the battlefield, and every time they swing, they choose the time when the enemy raises their weapons but doesn't have time to attack them. In the eyes of the beholder, a volunteer soldier often only stabbed half of his long sword, and he himself was cut off by a sharp scythe, and the attack was halted, and in the end he did not do the slightest damage to his enemy.
Only the most skilled rebel soldiers were able to inflict the occasional effective damage on these terrible killing machines. However, these rebel soldiers with outstanding martial arts are only a few after all, and they can't save the overall battle situation at all. With the rapid advance of Spartacus and his men, the 3,000 rebel soldiers were dwindling in alarming numbers.
Only five minutes later, only Xiang Yu and the dozen or so soldiers with the most outstanding martial arts among the remnants of the three armies were left on the side of the rebels. At this time, the number of casualties of the 3,000 heavily armed giant scythes was less than a hundred.
Under the siege of dozens of times more than the enemy, although the dozen or so volunteer soldiers were outstanding, they were still invincible with two fists and four hands, and they were besieged to death one after another before they lasted a minute, and finally only Xiang Yu was left alone, holding a spear, facing the siege of dozens of heavily armed giant sickles with one person and one gun.
It is worth mentioning that among these besieging people, there is also Spartacus, the commander of the heavily armed giant scythe, who originally regarded himself as the first warrior of Thrace, who always felt that his and Xiang Yu's strength should be half a catty and eight taels, which is comparable. But at this time, he suddenly discovered how terrifying the combat power that broke out was when this Eastern God of War gave up everything and put life and death aside. Even under the siege of dozens of people on the table, this Eastern God of War is still able to rely on his outstanding martial arts skills to kill one of his subordinates from time to time.
After discovering the huge gap between himself and the Eastern God of War, Spartacus finally understood the truth that there are people outside the world and there are heavens outside the sky, and put away the arrogance in his heart. became like an ordinary soldier, and together with his subordinates, he besieged Xiang Yu together.
At this time, I only heard a click, and in the scythe swung by Spartacus, the spear in Xiang Yu's hand, which was already covered with scars, was actually cut in two.
The sudden break of the weapon made Xiang Yu's move involuntarily pause for a moment, and even with this momentary pause, the giant scythe in Spartacus's hand had already slashed off from the top of the opponent's head, slashed his helmet with a scythe, and then cut a deep wound on Xiang Yu's face. At the same time, several other heavily armed giant scythes also took advantage of this opportunity to slash their giant scythes on Xiang Yu's body, and cut several huge wounds on Xiang Yu's body on the spot.
