Chapter 147: The Root of Fear, Defeat Like a Mountain
Xiang Yu's heart flashed with a touch of thoughtful fear.
The 300,000 troops attacking Xianyang were already the limit of what he could send, and his current personal guards and some troops that did not enter the city were only more than 10,000 people.
If there were more, he would have to draw troops from other places, and at least for now, he would not be able to gather more troops in a short period of time.
"The resistance in the city should have been lifted, why haven't the heralds replied?" A touch of uneasiness rose in Xiang Yu's heart.
At this time, the fire in Xianyang City has actually decreased, and even the Afang Palace no longer emits black smoke.
Xiang Yu frowned, and found that things were not simple.
"Zhong Liyi, you take three thousand people into the city to see what the hell is going on." Xiang Yu beckoned the silver-armored general on the side and said.
He is Xiang Yu's subordinate to the wind, forest, fire, mountain, the wind among the four generals, called Zhong Liyi, chasing the wind arc arrow with one hand is invincible, even Long He was almost defeated in his hands, is Xiang Yu's right-hand man.
"Yes." Zhong Liyi took the order and left.
As soon as Zhong Liyi stepped out of the barracks on his front foot, the herald on his back foot hurriedly ran in, covered in wounds, but he ran from the rear, not from the city.
"Oh no, my lord! Wu'an Hou Liu Bang was killed! The soldier fell to his knees and shouted.
Wow! Wow!
For a while, all the generals in the camp were in a shock, and they all looked at the heralds in disbelief, and they were all calming down the shock in their hearts.
"What do you say?! Do you know the cost of lying about the military? Xiang Yu grabbed the herald's collar with one hand and roared loudly.
The current Liu Bang is not the king of Han, just a small Wu'an Hou, and guards Mangdang Mountain, which is a traffic artery, if even Mangdang Mountain is lost, then his army can only cross the vast Wujiang River to return to Jiangdong!
Xiang Yu was not angry at Liu Bang's death, Liu Bang's death was not a pity in his opinion, if Liu Bang lost Mangdang Mountain, then his back road would be completely broken!
"The little one doesn't dare to deceive the king! Early this morning, a masked white-clothed swordsman with a fire-breathing sword in his hand broke into the Mangdangshan military camp, and everyone was killed.... Lord Wu Anhou is no exception. ”
The herald was tightly grabbed by Xiang Yu's collar, and he still said with great difficulty, he really didn't want to recall that terrifying scene.
Blood, all blood, the entire Mangdang Mountain camp was stained red with blood, and there were torn corpses everywhere, from the officers to the soldiers, all of them died.
Not a single one was left!
The cold wind blew, and that suffocating bloody breath was the most unforgettable nightmare of his life.
Moreover, he seemed to have seen a few winged demons, with wings and sharp fangs in mythology, eating human flesh, and going around captive civilian girls to do some unscrupulous things.
Xiang Yu's chest rose and fell violently, he didn't know what was going on in the rear, and he didn't know what happened to his 300,000 army, whether to withdraw or attack, he felt confused for the first time.
"Report to the King! Oh no! General Chung.... He ...... "A soldier stumbled in and knelt beside the herald, trembling all over.
"What's wrong with him?!" A bad premonition surged into Xiang Yu's heart, and his emotions gradually became excited.
"General Zhong..... He.... He's dead," the soldier said, shuddering.
"Smack!" Xiang Yu slapped the soldier in the face and shouted emotionally: "You fart!" Zhong Liyi had only been out for less than a quarter of an hour, why did he die?! ”
"The King... If you don't believe me, go out and have a look... The Qin army seems to have started a counterattack...."The soldier said with a trembling face.
Xiang Yu took three steps and two steps, ran out of the tent, and suddenly, he saw the most unbelievable scene in his life.
Flying Sword! Flying swords everywhere! Countless flying swords are harvesting the lives of his soldiers!
Every time the flying sword passed, countless soldiers died, and the horn of the Qin army's attack had been blown, and through the chaotic barracks, he could see that a large group of Qin troops were rushing towards here under the leadership of one person.
When Xiang Yu saw the figure, his pupils shrank a little.
"Mu Chen?! How did he come back! Xiang Yu couldn't help but gasp, and an indescribable sense of fear hit his heart.
Mu Chen has always been the shadow in his heart.
He saw his grandfather Xiang Yan die in the hands of Mu Chen, the earth-shattering explosion, the dazzling fire and the corpses flying everywhere were the nightmare of his childhood.
This kind of nightmare haunts my heart, and over time it becomes a knot in my heart, and it becomes a hurdle in my heart that I can't get over.
When he saw Mu Chen again, first he was afraid, fearful, then instinctive anger, and an endless sense of despair.
Now that he has returned, his dream of destroying the Qin State can only be Nan Ke's dream.
"Withdraw! Withdrawal! Xiang Yu hurriedly ordered, and at the same time brought his own weapons, rode a war horse, and galloped away.
As the so-called defeat is like a mountain, this time, under the impetus of Mu Chen, the Chu army, which claimed to be the victorious army, also began to rout.
Under the shroud of this death threat, they felt fear for the first time, and understood the preciousness of their lives, so they could not be sent to death in vain again.
Under this rout, even some of the soldiers around Xianyang City also fled, and they all wanted to have two more legs so that they could run faster.
Under the strangulation of the long sword in the sky, no one wanted to live, and they also knew that with their own strength, they could no longer compete with it.
Therefore, running away is the most straightforward and decisive excellent choice.
