Chapter 129: The Battle of Dingtao

In August 208, more than ten days after Xiang Yu broke through Yongqiu City. Stationed in the Chu army camp in Dingtao, Xiang Liang supported his chin with one hand, propped his elbows on the table in front of him, and took a nap. (text only)

Since Xiang Yu and Liu Bang broke through Chengyang, the Chu army has played triumphant songs all the way, frequently attacking the city and pulling out the village, and recently broke through Yongqiu, beheaded the Qin general Li You, and completely captured Sanchuan County Other book friends are watching:.

The whole army was very excited, but because of this, Chu Ling Yi Songyi wanted to run out and make 'trouble' when everyone was happy, telling him that the army was negligent in training, and the mood of the soldiers to underestimate the enemy was too high, which was very unfavorable to the future war, and implored him to strictly rectify the military style and be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Xiang Liang always nodded and promised Song Yi's proposal at first, but later, Song Yi's opinions became more and more frequent, and Xiang Liang was a little annoyed, so he simply sent him to envoy Qi and asked Qi to send troops to join forces with the Chu army to march to Xianyang and break Xianyang in one fell swoop.

Song Yi has been gone for two days, but the Qi country has not heard from the country for a long time, and Xiang Liang and the others are anxious, and their mood will naturally not be much better. In addition, autumn is approaching recently, although the autumn mood has been a little bit, but the weather is still as hot as summer, which makes him even more annoying.

Today, Tanma reported to Xiang Liang that Zhang Han, who was stationed in Puyang, had received reinforcements from Xianyang, and the team had grown to 200,000 people, and the Qin army, which had come from the northern border to support, was also marching to Puyang at a rapid pace under the leadership of the Qin general Wang Li, and if the two Qin armies were combined in one place, the number would reach 400,000.

This is indeed very important news, but after Xiang Liang heard the news, he just pursed his lips and said lightly: "No matter how much his Qin army increases, in front of my Jiangdong disciples, it is just a group of soil 'chickens' and tile dogs, which can be destroyed with one blow!" ”

His confidence gave great encouragement to the Chu army, but at the same time, it also gave the army a sense of pride that the Qin army was vulnerable to, and this mood was rapidly spreading among the officers and soldiers.

Xiang Liang closed his eyes slightly, his chin was supported by his hand and he was pretending to sleep, and behind him was a good-looking 'waiter' and 'woman' holding a big fan. In the barracks, except for the general's family members who are allowed to bring one or two 'maids' and 'women', the rest of the people are not allowed to bring 'women' and maids. However, after some victories, the Chu army almost completely abandoned this rule, and some officers and soldiers even led the prostitutes in the 'female' Lu to the army to publicly proclaim yin.

The Chu army's barracks were in chaos, and Xiang Liang, who was in a false sleep, even heard a sound of men and women laughing from outside his barracks.

The sound of laughter is getting farther and farther away, and it is obvious that the officers and soldiers who brought back the 'female' people have gone far. (text only)

Xiang Liang, who had his eyes closed, pursed his lips, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"General, it's not good!" Just as he was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden shout from outside the barracks, and a man stumbled in.

As soon as this person came in, he knelt in front of Xiang Liang with a "poof", pointed to Xiang Liang with his hand outside the 'door' and said to Xiang Liang with an almost scream: "General Qiyu, the Qin army suddenly killed, the black pressure is overwhelming, I don't know how many people there are, our army has gone forward to meet the battle, and the whole army has been wiped out!" ”

"What?" Hearing that the vanguard was completely annihilated, Xiang Liang's eyes suddenly widened in shock, and he stood up and shouted to the visitor: "Quick, go and explore again, find out which Qin army it is, and how many people are there?" What is their purpose? Then give it back to me quickly! ”

"Yes!" The visitor answered and exited the barracks.

Xiang Liang, who was shocked into a cold sweat, had no intention of sleeping again, and hurriedly put on his armor with the help of the 'waiter' and 'girl', and walked out with his sword.

The barracks were already 'chaotic', and many Chu officers and soldiers were dragging their weapons and running around the barracks. Some disheveled 'women' ran out of the barracks and fled outside the barracks, wearing the straps on their clothes.

A few Chu soldiers may have been colliding with the 'female' just now, and when they heard the 'chaos' in the barracks, they jumped out with weapons before they had time to put on their 'pants', and followed many Tongze everywhere 'chaotic'.

After leaving the barracks, Xiang Liang raised his sword to the sky and shouted loudly: "'Chaos' What is 'chaos'? Before the Qin army came, you were 'messy' into a pot of porridge, and when the Qin army came, you could only be slaughtered by them like pigs! ”

His shouts echoed in the chaotic Chu army camp, and some Chu soldiers stopped when they heard the shouts and gathered around Xiang Liang, but many more Chu soldiers did not have this consciousness at all, and some even began to have the idea of escaping.

The black-pressed Qin army finally appeared, and from a distance, it looked like a surging black 'color' ocean, and there was no end in sight. Under the illumination of the sun, the copper pieces on the black 'colored' leather armor of the Qin army continued to flicker like a starry sky in the night sky.

Xiang Liang squinted his eyes slightly, the 'commotion' and 'chaos' in the barracks had not stopped, and beside him, there were only nearly 10,000 Chu troops who were waiting for him, and more officers and soldiers were still running around, and they did not mention the slightest consciousness of fighting to the death with the Qin army.

Zhang Han was riding on a war horse, and he saw from a distance that the Chu army's barracks were making a noisy 'chaos', and from time to time there were a few 'women' in disheveled clothes running out of the barracks.

The corners of his mouth tugged slightly upward, and his eyes flashed with excitement when a jackal saw his prey.

"Crossbowman!" When the Qin army marched to a distance of only more than three hundred steps from the Chu army, a partial general raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly.

With his shout, tens of thousands of Qin soldiers armed with Qin crossbows walked out of the queue. They didn't wait for the general to give the next order, and they picked up their crossbows one after another, and buckled the crossbow arrows to the strings.

"First column, 'shoot'!" When the Qin army put the crossbow arrows on and put them flat in their hands, the general gave the order for the next step.

The Qin army, who was standing in the first row, raised his crossbow, aiming at the Chu army, which was not yet fully prepared to defend against the enemy, and a crossbow arrow that covered the sky and the sun flew out towards the Chu army.

"Second column, 'shoot'!" After the first column of Qin crossbowmen finished firing their crossbow arrows, the general raised his sword high again and shouted loudly.

Pieces of Chu troops fell under the crossbow arrows of the Qin army, and the Chu army camp was suddenly gloomy.

Xiang Liang stood behind the shield array that had just been organized, he didn't say anything, just stood calmly. Those Chu troops who tried to escape and were running around fell under the crossbows of the Qin army.

"Hurry up and gather!" Seeing many officers and soldiers falling, Xiang Liang was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted: "Gather and kill out!" ”

The crossbow arrows of the Qin army were still flying towards the Chu army continuously, and because the two sides were standing on the same level, although they were still some distance away, the power of the crossbow arrows was still very huge.

The Chu army, armed with shields, formed a shield wall at the front to resist the flying crossbow arrows. "Bang", a sound different from the shield blocking the crossbow arrow came, and the shield in the hand of a Chu army cracked in response, and the crossbow arrow penetrated straight into the 'chest' of the shield-holding Chu army from the cracked gap.

After the first shield broke, more shields were broken under the attack of the Qin army's crossbow arrows, and the front piece of the Chu army's shield array was suddenly torn open, and many Chu troops fell down with the break of the shield.

During this time, the Chu army was indeed negligent in training, if in the past, after the shield array was breached, someone would quickly fill the vacancy, but this time, after the Chu army's shield array was breached, no one immediately filled it, and the consequence of this situation was that more Chu troops fell without good defense.

Xiang Liang saw that the shield array of the Chu army was broken, and the Chu army had no long-range infantry to return to the Qin army, and knew that if he insisted on holding here, he would be completely annihilated by the Qin army sooner or later.

"The armies obey orders! Instead of sticking here, it is better to kill and move forward, maybe there is a glimmer of life, kill with me! Xiang Liang took the shield from one of his own soldiers, stepped on the horse, held the shield in one hand and the sword in the other, shouted to the panicked Chu army, and took the lead in rushing out.

Xiang Liang rushed out, Chu Jun was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to be greatly encouraged, Qi Qi shouted and rushed towards Qin Jun.

"Cavalry ready!" When the Chu army began to charge, the general of the Qin army raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly.

Nearly 10,000 light cavalry of the Qin army walked out of the queue after he shouted, and the cavalry spears in their hands pointed straight at the Chu army that was charging towards them.

The crossbowmen of the Qin army still did not stop firing 'shooting' crossbow arrows, and rows of arrow rain flew towards the charging Chu army, and where the arrow rain passed, pieces of Chu army fell to the ground and looked good:.

Xiang Liang held a shield in his hand, and his horse rushed towards the Qin army, and the shield was soon filled with crossbow arrows that the Qin army 'shot'. Suddenly, he felt a sharp sinking of his crotch, the war horse screamed, his two front hooves softened, and he flew up in the air with his head turned over.

When the war horse lost its balance, Xiang Liang was taken aback, and hurriedly let go of the hand holding the shield and jumped up on the horse's back.

As soon as his body left the horse's back, his 'chest' suddenly hurt, and a crossbow arrow pierced deep into his chest.

Xiang Liang's body had not yet landed, and a few crossbow arrows flew towards him, he roared, and swung his sword to push away these crossbow arrows, but before he could take back the sword, another crossbow arrow flew over with a strong wind, Xiang Liang could not avoid it, and the crossbow arrow pierced his forehead with a "poof".

When this crossbow arrow pierced Xiang Liang's forehead, the entire battlefield seemed to freeze instantly. All the Chu troops were stunned, and they looked at Xiang Liang, who had fallen heavily to the ground, his forehead pierced by a crossbow arrow. Qin Jun was also stunned, they didn't expect that Xiang Liang, who had led the world of Jiangdong's children, would die in their hands, and he died so powerlessly and so bleakly.

When they woke up from the shock of Xiang Liang's death, the counterattack that had been organized with great difficulty suddenly collapsed, and everyone lost the courage to fight, like a group of sheep driven by hungry wolves, scattered and fled.

"Kill!" The general of the Qin army waved his sword downward, and the cavalry of the Qin army, which had already been prepared, shouted in unison and chased after the Chu army that was scattered and fleeing. Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "Reverse Chu" written by Yan Yan
