Chapter 21: Dong Xun Comes



On the battlefield, Li Ji rode out of the horse, went straight to the open space between the two armies, the spear in his hand flew left and right, very mighty, opposite, in the Qin army array, a young general wearing black leather armor also rode a horse, he held a long sword, majestic, soon, the two horses intersected, weapons collided, the battle was very fierce.

The brave Qin general is an extremely heroic young general under Dong Yi, his name is Zhao Wei, he is burly, following Dong Yi, fighting countless battles and battles, today, meeting Liji, but a little difficult, at this time, Liji's spear has been hung upside down on his back, turning the horse's head, galloping into the distance.

This is a trick to lure the enemy, but Zhao Wei doesn't seem to realize the danger coming, he chases after the horse, the copper sword in his hand is more than four feet long, it is a typical long sword of the Qin army, in the hands of Zhao Wei, it is full of power, but Li Ji did not have the upper hand, but he reined in the horse, such an obvious loophole, was discovered by Dong Yi, who was watching the battle not far away, he couldn't help shouting: "Be careful of the enemy's sneak attack!" ”

But Dong Yi's shout was too late, just when Zhao Wei was about to catch up with Li Ji and slash with his sword, Li Ji suddenly stopped the war horse, and the spear on his back suddenly swept away, hitting Zhao Wei's chest accurately, this blow was very powerful, plus Zhao Wei's war horse kept running forward, the strength expanded several times, and only one spear tied Zhao Wei off the war horse.

Zhao Wei, who was prostrate on the ground, covered his chest, the corners of his mouth were bloodstained, he straightened up and wanted to pick up the long sword on the ground, but he was driven by Liji, and the probe grabbed him and went straight to the Chu army.

Not far away, Dong Yi hated, he waved his sword and roared: "Kill it!" ”

The Qin army was like a landslide and tsunami, killing the Chu army, on this side, Xiang Zhuang saw that Dong Yi was in chaos because of the broken general, and couldn't help but sneer, how could this kind of breathless puppet be the chief general of the three armies?

Just when Xiang Zhuang sneered, the vanguard of the Qin army had already rushed to five hundred steps away, and the chariots were the first to rush into battle, roaring, on the side, Lu Chen was slightly worried, and said in a low voice: "General Xiang Zhuang, let's rush up too!" ”

Xiang Zhuang didn't pay attention to Lu Chen, but stared at the Qin army with cold eyes, at this time, the chariots and cavalry of the Qin army were getting closer and closer, and they had rushed within two hundred steps, Lu Chen could no longer suppress his anxious mood, and wanted to order his army to meet the battle, but it was Xiang Zhuang who drew his long sword before him, waved it forward, and ordered: "Archery!" ”

The herald behind Xiang Zhuang immediately waved the green flag, and when the green flag shook, from behind the giant shield, thousands of feather arrows roared out, and the composite bow with absolute superiority played an effect on the battlefield, and the feather arrows equipped with iron arrows went straight to the Qin army, like dense ice rain, and hit the first batch of Qin troops.

The screams were one after another, the effective range of the Qin army's crossbow array was about one hundred and fifty paces, at this time it was a charge, the Qin army's crossbow array had not had time to play, but the Chu army's bow and arrows had already been shot, which made the Qin army, which had always relied on spears and halberds, a little surprised, the war horses neighed, and cavalry continued to fall from their horses.

The chariot soldiers suffered the most casualties, many chariots because of fear, tightly pulled the reins, so that the cavalry behind could not stop, crashed into the chariots, and then the spearmen, spearmen and Ge soldiers were blocked one after another, and a round of feather arrows came to form the most effective lethality.

But after all, the Qin army is a battle-hardened army, after the formation of the crossbow array, it quickly made a counterattack, and many soldiers in the Chu army array also fell to the ground with arrows, Xiang Zhuang saw that the time was ripe, he suddenly waved his sword and pointed forward, and roared: "Kill me with me!" ”

The red order flag suddenly floated up, and the Chu army was shouting in the array, swarming towards the Qin army, and the spearmen and cavalry who were originally standing at the forefront were the first to dispatch, with dense feather arrows, colliding with the Qin army, and the two armies fought together.

Although the Chu army could not be fully equipped with iron weapons, more than half of Xiang Zhuang's troops were basically well-equipped, and at this moment, the Chu army was like a sharp sword, rampage, dividing the Qin army into two halves, and the battlefield was extremely chaotic.

This kind of fighting lasted for a day, both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the most miserable, to count the Chu army and the Qin army, the two soldiers and horses lost more than half, Xiangzhuang's Chu army was also in this war, casualties as many as 5,000 people, at this time, under the sun, the Qin army was finally defeated after several rounds of fierce attacks, all the way to the north.

Dong Yi has also been trapped three times, if it weren't for the fact that there were several tiger generals around him who swore to kill him, Dong Yi would not have escaped doom in this battle.

At this time, Dong Yi did not dare to return to Chen County, so in a hurry, he made a detour from the west and fled straight to the north.

After defeating the Qin army, the Chu army did not stop at all, only a few soldiers and horses stayed on the battlefield to clean up, and the rest of the soldiers and horses rushed all the way to Chen County to kill, and the defenders of the city did not care about the wounded soldiers in the city after learning that Dong Yi retreated, and fled from Chen County one after another, and in the absence of sword soldiers, the Chu army recaptured Chen County.

At this time, on the head of the city, the red Chu flag was planted, and the army was in good order, marching to the city, and a team of Chu troops was also in the shortest possible time, controlling the county government, and putting up a list of the people, not long after, Xiang Zhuang came to Chen County under the escort of the personal guard, and the people ate pot pulp, to meet the troops who had just driven away the Qin army.

Three days later, 3,000 Chu troops were ordered to destroy the former Zhang Chu Palace, and destroy all the buildings and items related to the royal family in Chen County.

On the fifth day, Lu Chen held a banquet in his new mansion to entertain Xiang Zhuang, thanking him for sending troops to help recapture Chen County.

In the lobby, Xiang Zhuang sat high and then up, down, is Kong Ji and Lu Chen, below, the generals sat in turn, only among the generals, there is a female general who is extremely unhappy at this time, she is Wu Fang, she wanted to sit next to Xiang Zhuang, but Xiang Zhuang refused, so that she lost face.

At this time, the wine and food were ready, and Lu Chen laughed and said: "The first battle of Chen County made me see the heroic and good fighting of the Chu army, and it is really worthy of being the queen of the generals. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Chen raised his glass and said: "However, I want to ask for my life on behalf of the people of Chen County, hoping that General Xiang Zhuang can be the lord of Chen County, I don't know what General Xiang Zhuang wants?" ”

Lu Chen's flattery was not praised by Xiang Zhuang, at this time Xiang Zhuang also raised his glass, stared at Lu Chen, and said with a smile: "I can't stay in Chen County for a long time, the governance of Chen County still requires a lot of hard work from General Lu, in addition, I have a piece of advice, I hope General Lu will keep it in mind." ”

Lu Chen hurriedly put down his wine glass and said sincerely: "I am willing to listen to the teachings." ”

"Don't be the king, the exaggeration in front of you is just a stepping stone to hell, and you can be down-to-earth in order to ascend step by step." After speaking, Xiang Zhuang drank the wine in the cup, Lu Chen thought for a while, and then smiled: "I remember General Xiang Zhuang's words." ”

This meal, everyone drank very happily, although Xiang Zhuang did not promise Lu Chen anything, but in essence, Lu Chen has been attached to the Chu army, and the palace of Chen County has been destroyed, Lu Chen's elite troops after the battle with the Qin army, dead and wounded, in Xiang Zhuang's eyes, Lu Chen has not been able to make any big waves.

And three days later, Xiang Zhuang gathered the Chu army, at this time Xiang Zhuang under the command of the soldiers, only more than 27,000 people left, of which, there are more than 1,000 people with injuries to travel far away, not long after leaving Chen County, Xiang Zhuang got the report of the Liyang intelligence network, since Song Liu surrendered to the Qin army, was escorted to Xianyang, handed over to the second emperor for disposal, and Hu Hai was sentenced to death because Song left the Qin State for Song Liu's betrayal, the means were extremely cruel, shaking the government and the opposition.

Ten days later, Xiang Zhuang's army came to Ruyin, where they crossed the river and marched towards Surabaya County.

。。。。。。

Since the Chu army decided to go north, the soldiers were divided into two routes, one way to Lushan County, into Chen County, from Chen County to Surabaya County, and the other way, the main force of the Chu army with Xiang Yu as the vanguard, took a boat from Dantu River Port and went north in Guangling.

After Xiang Yu captured Guangling, he did not stop for half a minute and continued to go north, but after Xiang Liang led the main force to cross the river, he was stationed in Guangling for half a month, reorganized the soldiers and horses, and waited for supplies.

When he arrived near Dongyang County, a cavalryman galloped over, came to Xiang Liang, and arched his hand: "General, General Xiang Yu has taken control of Xutai County, Chen Ying, the county commander of Xutai County, and Pu Shan, the guard general of Dongyang County, have surrendered, and gathered about 30,000 young and strong people, and have marched to Xu County, and I have been specially ordered to inform the general." ”

After listening to the report, Xiang Liang couldn't help but raise his head and laugh, turned to look at Xiang Bo, and laughed: "Yu'er is really a tiger general." ”

Early in the morning, a drum sounded on the upper floor of Xuxian County, the east gate slowly opened, here is located in the plain, everywhere is an endless wilderness, on a wide galloping road, here is close to Hongze Lake, but in this era, Hongze Lake has not yet formed, just a branch of the Huai River, at this time, Xiang Liang's 30,000 main force is slowly moving forward, soon, the city head of Xu County appeared in front of everyone.

In front of the city tower, on both sides of the formation of a thousand soldiers, several people waited anxiously on horseback, until they saw the banner of the Chu army faintly appearing in the distance, and a young general led by him laughed excitedly: "They are coming." ”

This person is Xiang Yu, beside him, is Pu Shan and Chen Ying, the two are also extremely excited, I heard that Jiangdong Xiang Liang is a very heroic figure, at this time, the Chu army, is not like a few years ago, obscurity dormant in Jiangdong, at this time the prestige of the Chu army in Shandong has been known to everyone, no one knows.

In a chaotic sound of horses' hooves, everyone found Xiang Liang who was marching in the team, Xiang Yu took the lead, came to the front of the team, jumped off the horse, knelt on one knee in front of Xiang Liang, and said excitedly: "My nephew has seen my uncle." ”

I haven't seen him for a long time, Xiang Liang also misses Xiang Yu very much, although Xiang Liang felt that his nose was sore, but he still held back his tears, did not flow out, stopped the war, Xiang Liang dismounted and patted Xiang Yu's shoulder to show comfort, at this time, Chen Ying and Pu Shan also came to the front.

Chen Ying presented a bamboo slip with both hands, and said loudly: "Xiaguan Chen Ying, who was once the county commander of Xutai County, is now willing to surrender to the Chu army, this is my military membership, please General Xiang Liang to accept it." ”

Xiang Liang took the military registration, looked at it roughly, and said with a smile: "I will accept the military registration, and all of them will be included in the Chu army, but ...... You continue to command this army. ”

Chen Ying was excited, and sang a promise, at this time, Pu Shan also stepped forward and arched his hand: "The last general Pu Shan, who was once the guard general of Dongyang County, is now here to surrender, please accept General Xiang Liang." ”

"Pu Shan?" Xiang Liang read lightly, this person was highly appreciated by Xiang Yu, praising him for his bravery, Xiang Liang looked at Pu Shan, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "On behalf of the Chu army, I accept your surrender." ”

Everyone was overjoyed and got up one after another, and at this time, a cavalryman galloped over and said: "General, there is a person who claims to be Dong Xun, who is the envoy of the Eastern Chu Army, and wants to ask to see the general." ”

"Where are the people?" Xiang Liang frowned tightly and asked in surprise.

"Waiting for the general in Xu County." The cavalry replied, Xiang Liang nodded, waved his hand, and ordered: "You go and tell him, I will be there immediately, and let him wait there for a while." ”

The cavalry sang the promise and left, and at this time, Xiang Bo was surprised and said: "The envoy of the Eastern Chu State is here, don't you want to persuade the second brother to join them?" ”

"It's very likely, but they underestimate me too much, Jing Jingju is a member of the Chu country, will I be willing to serve my command?" Xiang Liang couldn't help but sneer, with contempt in his laughter, and after a moment of silence, Xiang Liang decided that it would be better to meet this Dong Wei first, thinking of this, Xiang Liang turned over his horse, looked at everyone, and ordered: "Towards Xu County." ”
