Chapter 11 Let's find a place to bury it

Yu Fanjun stood in the middle of the battlefield with a spear in his hand, his head slightly bowed, and a pair of eyes stared at the Qin army that surrounded them in the middle.

Around him gathered hundreds of rebel officers and soldiers armed with spears or daggers, almost all wounded, each with a tired face, but in their eyes there was endless fortitude and determination.

These people were all soldiers who had followed Yu Fanjun for a long time, and after the battle began, many people were killed, and many people gradually withdrew from the battlefield when they saw the strength of the Qin army, and now only these few hundred people are still by Yu Fanjun's side to fight with him.

On their periphery was the Qin army, which could not be seen in the black, and the Qin army was numerous, but it only surrounded them in the middle and did not attack immediately.

Soon after Yu Fanjun led the army to leave Huling, Zhu Jishi also led his army to Li County.

Along the way, they met many officers and soldiers of Yu Fanjun's troops who were defeated and fled, and these officers and soldiers who withdrew from the battlefield saw the army led by Zhu Jishi, and hurriedly scattered and fled into the field.

Abandoning the Lord on the battlefield and fleeing is a great sin to kill the head in any era. Since the fleeing rebel officers and soldiers were withdrawn from the battlefield, they just didn't want to die here, and of course they didn't want to be caught by Zhu Jishi's troops, and then cut off their heads like dogs.

"What's going on with these people? Could it be that Yu Fanjun was defeated? Seeing these fleeing rebels, Zhu Jishi frowned, and said to an officer beside him: "You bring someone to catch a few deserters, and I want to ask them how the battle is on the front line." ”

The officer answered, and led a group of cavalry to charge at the rebels who had withdrawn from the front, and in a short time they had captured six or seven deserters with gray faces, faces full of fear and panic, and uncertain eyes.

When the cavalry returned, they pushed the few deserters they had captured to the ground and made them kneel in front of Zhu Jishi.

"The battle is tight ahead, why are you fleeing the battlefield?" Zhu Jishi rode on horseback, pointed at the deserter kneeling on the ground with a horsewhip, and asked with a grim face.

Several deserters who had been captured knelt down in front of Zhu Jishi, trembling all over. These people are all deserters who escaped from the battle, and they should be beheaded according to military law, and when they were caught, they were already frightened, where could they still raise the courage to answer Zhu Jishi's question.

"What does the general ask you for! Didn't you hear? Seeing that they did not answer Zhu Jishi's question, the officer who had taken these people back took two steps forward and kicked over a person, drew a short sword and put it on the man's neck.

Zhu Jishi glanced at the officer and motioned for him to stand down, and the officer willingly withdrew his short sword and stepped aside.

"Say, as long as you tell the truth, I won't kill you." After the officer retreated, Zhu Jishi said to a few deserters without any expression on his face: "How is the battle ahead?" How many people were there in the Qin army? Where is General Yu now? ”

Several soldiers who surrendered to Zhu Jishi said that they would not kill them, and hurriedly raised their heads to look at him, their eyes full of desire to live.

One of the soldiers was bold and said to Zhu Jishi: "Report to the general, the villain doesn't know how many Qin troops there are, it's just a piece of black pressure, all over the mountains, and now General Yu is surrounded by the Qin army, and he can't be saved when he sees it!" ”

After the deserter finished speaking, Zhu Jishi nodded slightly, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Dig a pit and bury them all!" ”

"General, you said you wouldn't kill us!" When several deserters heard that they were going to be buried, they hurriedly raised their heads and shouted at Zhu Jishi: "As a general, you can't be untrustworthy!" ”

Zhu Jishi sneered, shook the reins in his hand and urged the war horse to run forward a few steps, and when the war horse spread its four hooves and ran forward, he dropped a sentence: "I said that I won't kill you, I just let people bury you, and abandon the Lord before the battle will run for your life alone, do you still want to live?" ”

When several deserters heard what he said, they jumped up and were about to run towards the side of the road. Unfortunately, as soon as they got together, the rebels, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately rushed forward and plunged their spears deep into their chests.

After killing these deserters, one of Zhu Jishi's personal soldiers slapped his face and said to his companions on the side: "Now it's okay, the general asked us to bury them alive, they are all dead, and we even buried them in a spare time." ”

As soon as he said this, the other soldiers also laughed and echoed, as if they had never killed anyone at all.

Zhu Jishi led his troops and horses to speed up his march in the direction of Lixian, while Yu Fanjun struggled to support him in the encirclement of the Qin army.

The officers and soldiers beside him fell one by one under the attack of the Qin army, and he himself was already wounded.

"Yu Fanjun, now that you have been surrounded by groups, do you still want to escape?" Zhang Ping saw that Yu Fanjun was trapped in the army and was still fighting the trapped beasts, and after saying something in Zhang Han's ear, Zongma walked up to him and said: "You might as well surrender my Great Qin, with your ability, it's still okay to be a partial general!" ”

Zhang Ping's words made Yu Fanjun feel greatly insulted, the muscles of his face twitched a few times, and he spat on the ground and scolded: "Zhang Ping, blind your dog eyes, Lao Tzu is a gentleman, how can you be like you, for a few big money of military salary, you wagged your tail to Hu Hai's tyrant!" If you want to fight, rush up and fight, if you don't dare to fight, cover your eggs and get out of the egg as soon as possible! ”

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Ping raised his head and laughed a few times, and said to Yu Fanjun: "Since you are bent on death, then I will fulfill you!" ”

With that, he waved his hand and shouted to the Qin army behind him: "Kill!" ”

With Zhang Ping's order, the Qin army shouted in unison, and walked towards Yu Fanjun and the only remaining hundred or so rebels beside him with neat steps.

The dense spears trembled and pierced towards the rebels, and the rebels standing on the outermost periphery held shields and brandished spears and short swords to face the Qin army, and the Qin army saw these rebels rushing towards them, and the spears of the jungle slammed forward, and the dense forest-like spears covered these rebels like a wall.

Countless spears pierced the shields of the rebels, and suddenly these rebels pushed their backs and fell backwards, and when their bodies leaned back, the spears behind pierced their bodies one after another, and the rebels who rushed towards the Qin army fell down in an instant.

As the Qin army gradually approached, the place where Yu Fanjun and the rebels beside him could stand became smaller and narrower, and he saw that the spear wall of the Qin army had advanced to the chest of the outermost rebels.

"Brothers, cut off their feet!" After Yu Fanjun let out this loud shout, he immediately regretted it again, and some of the righteous soldiers who listened to his order and stabbed their spears at the feet of the Qin army did not wait for their spears to pierce the enemy, and their chests had been pierced by the enemy, and they fell to the ground one after another.

This time Yu Fanjun was really desperate, if the Qin army fought against them in an orderly manner, with the remaining people at least able to inflict some damage on the Qin army, but now the Qin army was not in a hurry to annihilate them quickly, but just slowly advanced towards them step by step, facing the dense spear wall, they had no ability to resist at all.

Every step of the Qin army's advance would take the lives of several rebel soldiers, but Yu Fanjun could only watch as these loyal and brave soldiers under his command fell one by one.

Several more rebel soldiers fell, and in desperation, Yu Fanjun went crazy, he forgot his fear of death, raised his spear high in one hand, and threw it at the Qin army that was rushing towards them.

The spear flew towards the Qin army with the sound of the wind, and slammed into the chest of a Qin army who was walking in the front.

After the spear pierced into the chest of the Qin army, the strength was not exhausted, and it slammed into the back against the corpse of the Qin army, and suddenly made a gap in the dense human wall.

"Kill!" Yu Fanjun shouted violently, drew the short sword at his waist and rushed towards the gap in the human wall, and the rebels who were surrounded in the middle also rushed towards the gap behind him.

When they rushed out, the Qin army quickly closed and surrounded, spears from all sides crowded into the middle, most of the rebels were pierced by spears and fell into the dust, only the few people who rushed into the Qin army first behind Yu Fanjun were still fighting desperately.

Yu Fanjun swung his sword and slashed down a Qin soldier, glanced behind him, and the place where they were standing just now was full of corpses of the rebels, and the Qin army's formation only appeared a small gap under his impact, and the rebels who rushed into the gap with him were pierced by the Qin army's spears one by one, and fell down unwillingly.

After all the rebels were wiped out, the Qin army slowly gathered and surrounded Yu Fanjun in the middle. Yu Fanjun held a short sword in his hand, standing in a circle less than five steps in diameter, he looked around, and there were dense spear walls all around.

"Come on! Come on! Yu Fanjun brandished his short sword and shouted at the Qin army who was surrounding him: "If you want to kill Lao Tzu, hurry up!" ”

With this roar, he suppressed the Qin army standing at the front, the Qin army retreated a few times, and the open space where Yu Fanjun was standing was a little more empty.

"Kill!" Zhang Ping stood outside the encirclement, seeing the Qin army retreating, he frowned, pointed the short sword diagonally upward, and shouted: "Kill Yu Fanjun and seal a hundred households!" ”

When Qin Jun heard that there was a reward, he immediately rushed towards Yu Fanjun like a chicken blood, and Yu Fanjun rushed towards the dense spear with a short sword.

After Yu Fanjun rushed out, the Qin army stabbed the spear out in unison, and dozens of spears immediately pierced into his body, when the Qin army pulled out the spear that pierced his body, he staggered forward a few steps, the short sword in his hand was still raised high, as if he still wanted to fight with the Qin army with the last strength.

But he still didn't make this sword in the end, and when he rushed in front of Qin Jun, his body fell straight forward.

Zhang Ping looked at Yu Fanjun expressionlessly, when Yu Fanjun fell, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Han in the main formation, Zhang Han nodded to him, he turned to Qin Jun, who was still looking at Yu Fanjun in a circle, and said: "He is also a man, find a piece of land to bury him!" ”

("Historical Records • Xiang Yu Benji" - Zhang Hanjun to Li, Xiang Liang envoy Zhu Jishi, Yu Fanjun and fight.) Yu Fanjun died. Zhu Jishi's army was defeated and died in Huling.
