Outside the camp, three thousand Chu soldiers sat on the ground, some lying on their backs, they were extremely tired, since the loss of Chen County, they were tired of running, there was no time to rest, eat, and even drinking water became a luxury, until they came to the Chu camp, they had a sense of security, they could rest here temporarily.

Not far away, Lu Chen was anxious, the battalion soldiers had been in for half an hour, and there was no news so far, Lu Chen faintly felt that Xiang Zhuang was unwilling to see him?

If Xiang Zhuang is unwilling to see himself, Lu Chen has considered transferring to Surabaya County, I heard that Chu King Jing Ju has already marched to Surabaya County, if he can take refuge in them, although he needs to remove the royal seal at the moment, but in the future, he will still have a chance to return to the country, even if he can't return to the country, Lu Chen thinks that with his qualifications, it should not be difficult to mix a prominent identity in the Eastern Chu State.

As soon as people are nervous, they will be uncontrollable and cranky, at this time, Chao Kaiji beside him saw Lu Chen's anxiety, he stepped forward, arched his hand and smiled: "What is the king anxious about?" ”

Interrupted by Chao Kaiji's contemplation, Lu Chen looked up and said with a wry smile: "It's been so long, there has been no news from Xiangzhuang, I'm worried about ......"

Chao Kaiji waved his hand, interrupted Lu Chen's words, and comforted: "Your lord, you are too nervous, that's why you are cranky, if it is not what I expected, there will be news soon." ”

Seeing Chao Kaiji say this, Lu Chen didn't say anything more, lowered his head and fell into contemplation again, Chao Kaiji had to turn around and leave, find a quiet corner, and rest for a while.

Time passed minute by minute, and I don't know how long it took, the soldier who went to pay the omission rushed back, holding a token in his hand, and shouted loudly: "The general has an order, pass Lu Chen to see him!" ”

Lu Chen heard someone shouting in the camp, looked up, and sure enough, Xiang Zhuang let himself enter the camp, his spirits were lifted, and his mood was much better, he couldn't help but look at Chao Kaiji not far away, and laughed: "Sure enough, as Mr. expected." ”

Chao Kaiji also got up and came to Lu Chen's side, a few people sorted out their clothes, selected a few burly guards to follow, and under the guidance of Chu soldiers, they walked towards the camp.

Looking at the Chu camp from a distance, they were standing next to the mountains, and the camp was not big, but when he entered the interior, Lu Chen really realized that he had waited for more than half an hour, because the camp of the Chu camp was too big, and there was a large open space between each camp and a large open space for training military horses, which was very different from the regular camp.

Moreover, when he passed through the third camp, Lu Chen saw that the bow and arrow used by the Chu army was extremely special, it was a bow and arrow that he had never seen before, and the range was very long, and it seemed that this kind of bow and arrow had multiple bowstrings, but he just walked by and never saw it clearly, but from the training of the soldiers, this bow could shoot at least two hundred paces, far more than ordinary bows and arrows.

This is what Lu Chen is most surprised by, this kind of bow and arrow does not seem to be the bow and arrow commonly used in the Central Plains, and he may exceed the range of Qin's crossbow.

This may also be the main reason why Xiang Zhuang went north for the first time and made great achievements, but judging from the equipment of the Chu army, Lu Chen believes that his trip to the Chu camp was not in vain.

After walking about ten camps, Lu Chen felt that he was about to turn around, when the soldier who led the way pointed to an inconspicuous tent and said with a smile: "This general, the handsome account has arrived!" ”

Looking at the big tent in front of him, which was no different from ordinary soldiers, Lu Chen found it hard to believe that this was the handsome account of the Chu army.

The guards guarding the big tent on both sides lifted the curtain of the tent, Lu Chen felt that the tent was very dark, and he couldn't see the structure inside clearly, so he had to tidy up the cloak, and together with Chao Kaiji, he bowed his waist and walked into the big tent.

A young man in his twenties sat high and went up, he was dressed in a white robe, looking extremely elegant, and beside him, there was a middle-aged man who was nearly thirty years old, and it was not difficult for Lu Chen to guess that this person was Xiang Zhuang's strategist.

On both sides of the big tent, there were many generals sitting side by side, and at this time, a personal guard beside Xiang Zhuang stepped forward and shouted: "Who is under the tent, don't you want to meet my general!" ”

Being scolded like this, Lu Chen was slightly displeased, at this time his eyes were red, and he glared angrily at the shouting guard, but it was Chao Kaiji on the side who hurriedly nudged Lu Chen and reminded him that this was someone else's territory.

Lu Chen forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and arched his hand: "In the next Zhang Chu King Lu Chen, meet General Xiang Zhuang." ”

Without waiting for Xiang Zhuang to speak, Kong Ji, who was sitting on the side, had already gotten up and said angrily: "Bold, this is Chu Ying, how can you be so presumptuous!" ”

As soon as Kong Ji's words fell, Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and smiled: "Huh...... People come from afar, you must not be unreasonable! ”

Saying that, Xiang Zhuang got up and came to Lu Chen's side, looked at the mountain, and sneered: "I only know that the king of Chu should be surnamed '羋', as for the foot......"

Xiang Zhuang didn't continue, this was saving face for Lu Chen, although Lu Chen was unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to attack rashly, and from entering the Chu camp, Lu Chen saw that this Chu army was different, and it was definitely not a role to mess with, this was also the capital of people to speak hard, and he was just a defeated general, he didn't dare to speak bravely, and when he spoke, he was naturally three points shorter.

Moreover, on the way here, Lu Chen also figured out this, although he was entrenched in the throne of King Zhang Chu, he just picked up Chen Sheng's leaks, his own troops were not strong, and even Chen County could not be guarded, so it was meaningless to ask for this unwarranted position of 'King Zhang Chu'.

Thinking about this, Lu Chen arched his hand and smiled: "In front of General Xiang Zhuang, Lu Chen does not dare to claim to be the king, I came this time to ask for help from the Chu army, hoping to get the help of the Chu army and recapture Chen County, since then, I am willing to surrender to the Chu army and be a general under General Xiang Zhuang, I don't know ......."

Lu Chen's attitude was extremely sincere, Xiang Zhuang's sharp eyes met Lu Chen's eyes, and after a long time, Xiang Zhuang Lang smiled and said: "If General Lu is willing to return to the Chu army, this is naturally a good thing, but I will sponsor the general to serve my uncle and become a general, how about it?" ”

Xiang Zhuang did not insult himself, Lu Chen sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "I am willing to listen to General Xiang Zhuang's orders." ”

Xiang Zhuang laughed and nodded, and wanted to appease Lu Chen a few words, but on the side, Wu Fang, who had never spoken, sneered: "A dignified seven-foot man, he can't keep an inch of land, what's the use of keeping him?" ”

Wu Fang's words were full of ridicule, besides, she was a female general, and it was a great humiliation to Lu Chen, Lu Chen's face was extremely ugly at the moment, and he was restless, Xiang Zhuang saw this situation, and couldn't help but scold: "Wu Fang, don't be unreasonable!" ”

was reprimanded by Xiang Zhuang, although Wu Fang was a little unwilling, but she didn't dare to refute, at this time, Xiang Zhuang had already smiled at Lu Chen: "You can go down to rest first, and I will gather troops and horses and march to Chen County." “

"Don't thank you for your kindness, Lu Chen has thanked you here!" Lu Chen looked at Xiang Zhuang gratefully and gave a deep salute.

。。。。。。

About three hours later, the mighty Chu army marched along the gallop road to Chen County, and the last group of marching Chu troops began to collect their camp tents, load military supplies, and extend the supplies of the Chu army, which was several miles long.

Along the way, Li Liang continued to collect the rout, some of the soldiers and officers of the Zhang Chu army who fled from Chen County, heard the whereabouts of Lu Chen, and rushed to come, and the deputy general Li Yong also gathered nearly 10,000 people, found Lu Chen, who is now in the Chu camp, several troops and horses were in one place, and Lu Chen's momentum gradually recovered.

The two armies marched along the galloping road, mighty, and when they passed through Xinyang, they finally met the Qin army at the foot of Dangshan Mountain.

Since learning that Lu Chen took advantage of the chaos to escape from Chen County, Dong Yi was restless, the main reason for his surprise attack on Chen County this time was to completely eliminate Zhang Chuguo in the bud, so as not to make Lu Chen's foundation more and more stable, he was not easy to deal with, but he never thought that the city was taken, but Lu Chen fled, and because of this, Dong Yi led an army of 25,000 people after stabilizing Chen County, all the way south, chasing Lu Chen, and searching for the remnants of Zhang Chu's army along the way, or kill or surrender.

But to Dong Yi's expectation, he would be here, encountering the Chu army that went north for the first time, at this time, on the plain at the foot of Dangshan, the two armies were in their own formations, and the formation was huge, stretching for several miles.

Soon, where the Qin army's flag gate opened, Dong Yi took the lead and walked out of the flag gate, he straightened his spear sideways, and looked into the distance, two miles away, it was the Chu army camp, but in front of the Chu army's formation, stretching for several miles, were all giant shields, between the giant shields, only a spear pierced // inserted out, I couldn't see clearly at all, what lineup was on the other side, for a moment, Dong Yi was stunned by the scene in front of him.

He didn't know at all that the Chu army was already so powerful at this time.

And the opposite Chu army camp, a temporary watchtower, Xiang Zhuang and Lu Chen walked up slowly, the watchtower is extremely tall, a flag fluttering in the wind, Xiang Zhuang walked to the railing, his right hand set up his eyes, looking into the distance, the mighty Qin army, there are more than 20,000 people, with Xiang Zhuang's previous combat experience, this is an elite Qin army, and the Qin army that he has fought in peacetime is different.

But the elite and advanced weapons of the Chu army are not something that the Qin army can easily shake, and on the way here, Lu Chen has already made a preliminary report to Xiang Zhuang about the situation of this Qin army, this is the commander of Zhang Han, Dong Yi's troops, there are about 30,000 people, they are a team that temporarily went south, so they are lightly armed, and there is no material supply, this kind of army, can only fight quickly, can not last for a long time, and they have abandoned Chen County and pursued Lu Chen for thousands of miles, they have committed a taboo, and this battle will be lost.

At this time, Xiang Zhuang had woken up from his contemplation, he put down his right hand, looked at Lu Chen beside him, and said with a smile: "This Qin army is not as elite as you said, look at how I break him!" ”

With that, Xiang Zhuang turned around and left without hesitation, and walked briskly towards the bottom of the watchtower.

The sound of the war drums of "dong dong" became louder and louder, and the huge shield of the Chu army began to extend to both sides, showing a distance of one person wide, and a team of captains and spearmen walked out of the front of the formation, the formation was strict and uniform.

Not long after, behind the spearmen, thousands of cavalry also walked out of the array in the same strict formation, lined up behind the spearmen, at this time, the low horn sounded slowly, the door flag opened, Xiang Zhuang in the company of Lu Chen, and the generals rode out, stopped in front of the formation, looking at the mighty Qin army in the distance, Xiang Zhuang's cold eyes looked at the side of Liji, ordered: "Give you the opportunity to make meritorious service, go and meet them!" ”
