Chapter 160: The Battle of the Giant Deer 4
Xiang Yu pressed the hilt of his sword with his hand, and led Long He and the others to walk among the Chu officers and soldiers who were eating, looking at these Chu officers and soldiers who were holding bowls and eating fragrant, he felt a little pantothenic acid in his heart.
He was about to announce something to these soldiers who had been following him in the southern and northern wars, something that he was really a little difficult to talk about, but he had to announce that other book friends were reading:. {Leaderboard}
After eating, some Chu soldiers wiped their mouths, patted their plump bellies, sighed, and sighed: "Ah! It's been a long time since I've eaten so full, it's still General Xiang, he takes the big guy, and the big guy can eat a full meal! ”
More than a dozen Chu soldiers who were around a pot stove with him heard him say this, and hurriedly agreed, and two people were still stuffed with corn in their mouths and couldn't speak, so they had to follow everyone and nod their heads "hmm".
"Brothers, you eat first, I'll go wash the dishes!" The soldiers who had finished eating first greeted the Tongzemen on the side, got up and were about to leave.
As soon as he turned around, a tall figure stood behind him and blocked his path.
The soldier raised his head and looked at the person standing in front of him, and when he saw the face of the person standing in front of him, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted in a panic: "General, the villain is abrupt, don't blame the general!" ”
Xiang Yu smiled at the soldier, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said very kindly: "It's nothing, I just want to tell you, don't be busy washing the bowl first, other book friends are reading:." ”
"Huh?" When the soldier saw Xiang Yu preventing him from washing dishes, he opened his mouth wide and looked at Xiang Yu puzzled.
Xiang Yu looked around, and saw that the rice in the bowls of many officers and soldiers had almost been eaten, so he shouted to the officers and soldiers of Chu: "Soldiers, there is something I want to tell you, today's meal is the last hot meal we ate before we defeated Zhang Han, after eating this meal, all of you prepared three days' rations, smashed all the pots and stoves, after crossing the river, we have no time to make a fire to cook, all our time must be spent on killing the enemy, we must keep killing the enemy, defeat the Qin army, and kill Zhang Han!" ”
After he said this, all the Chu soldiers who heard the order stared at him in shock, and after a while, some Chu soldiers who had already eaten enough and reacted faster hurriedly hurriedly held the bowl and lay in front of the stove, desperately pulling corn rice into the bowl.
Those who reacted a little slower, seeing that their companions started to grab the food first, also followed suit.
The Chu army, who didn't hear Xiang Yu's order in the distance, saw that with Xiang Yu as the center, a large number of Chu troops were rushing to grab the food in the pot, and they all stretched out their heads to ask others what Xiang Yu had said. "Search to see the fastest"
When they heard that there would be no hot food for the next three days, they didn't have time to think about it and immediately joined in the rush to grab food.
Before giving this order, Xiang Yu had imagined how he would mobilize Chu officers and soldiers if they questioned his order to smash the stove.
The performance of the officers and soldiers of Chu made Xiang Yu breathe a sigh of relief, and questioned that there was no appearance, but only the Chu army who appeared was like a starving ghost reincarnated, with a round stomach, but still coaxing the food to be good-looking:.
Xiang Yu shook his head and glanced back at Yu Ziqi, who had initially opposed him for breaking the boat.
Seeing Xiang Yu looking at him, Yu Ziqi didn't say anything, tilted his head to the side, and focused his attention on a Chu soldier who was lying in front of the pot stove and almost fisted his companion because he grabbed food.
Under the coaxing of the Chu officers and soldiers, the food in the pot stove was quickly snatched up, and in front of a few pot stoves, there were even some people who were so unproductive that they pouted. He stuffed his face into the pot, and one by one he shoveled the corn in the pot and made it clean.
"Have you eaten enough?" When all the Chu troops were stroking their round stomachs and panting with their bodies half-up, Xiang Yu asked them with a smile on his face.
"Return to the Great General!" After Xiang Yu asked, an officer of the Chu army rolled on the spot, forced himself to kneel on the ground and replied: "We are all full, this meal may be the last hot meal we have eaten in our lives, the brothers are out of luck, and I hope the general will not blame!" ”
"Haha! Don't blame, don't blame! Xiang Yu laughed a few times, waved his hand at the officer, and said, "The soldiers are all full, and when we are full, we can go to fight the Qin army to the death!" No hero comes out hungry, and the more you eat, the more powerful you are when you fight! But you have to remember that what we have to do is to go to the other side of the river so that the Qin army will not have a head to eat hot rice in the future, not that we ourselves will not be able to eat in the future, do you understand? ”
"Got it!" Xiang Yu's words boiled the blood of these Chu officers and soldiers who were full of food and support, who had nowhere to do anything, and who were eager to cross the Yellow River immediately to fight with the Qin army, and tens of thousands of people replied in unison with their necks pulled.
"Breaking the kettle and smashing the stove, other book friends are watching:!" After receiving the answer from the Chu officers and soldiers, Xiang Yu ordered loudly with a smile on his face: "Smash the pot stove and cross the river immediately!" ”
With his order, tens of thousands of Chu soldiers first scrambled to smash the rice bowls in their hands, and then some people ran to the stove and smashed the pots on the stove.
The quartermaster was holding a large pot in his arms, this was the pot stove used by Xiang Yu and other generals for cooking, he was reluctant to smash it, and since he followed Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew out of Jiangdong, this pot has been following him, he hopes that Xiang Yu can leave this pot on the side of the net.
The officers and soldiers of Chu also knew that this pot was used to cook for Xiang Yu and others, and when everyone was smashing the pot and setting off the stove, no one came to trouble the quartermaster.
"Smash that pot too!" The others didn't come to trouble the quartermaster, but Xiang Yu didn't plan to let him go, when Xiang Yu saw that he was holding the cauldron in his arms and didn't let go, his face narrowed, and he pointed to the cauldron and said to the soldiers beside him: "You guys, smash that pot for me!" ”
One of the soldiers lifted the pot high and slammed it to the ground, only to hear a crisp sound of "pop", and the bottom of the cauldron was forced to fall out of a big 'hole'.
The quartermaster lay on the ground, looking at the broken cauldron with a painful face, biting his lip tightly, but he didn't dare to say a word.
"Soldiers! River! When the Chu army camp was full of broken pots and bowls, Xiang Yu raised his hand and pointed to the bank of the Yellow River and shouted loudly.
"Cross the river!" Tens of thousands of Chu officers and soldiers raised their weapons high and followed Xiang Yu like a 'tide' towards the ships docked on the shore and other book friends were watching.
On the other side of the river, Yingbu, Xiang Ye, and Pu generals had long been ready to respond, and the entire process of crossing the river by the Chu army was very smooth. The warships responsible for picking up and dropping off the Chu army on the shore made a few round-trips, and all the Chu troops were sent ashore.
When all the Chu troops came ashore, Xiang Yu looked back at the river bank and said to Yu Ziqi: "Ziqi, you immediately lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to scuttle all these warships!" ”
"What are you going to do?" When Yu Ziqi led his troops to the shore, jumped onto the warship, and began to destroy the warship with axes and chisels, a group of Chu troops surrounded them with spears, and many of them shouted: "Why do you want to destroy the ships? Without a boat, we have no way out! Are you trying to kill everyone? ”
Yu Ziqi ignored the Chu army that surrounded them, and ordered his soldiers to continue to destroy the ships.
"Brothers, come on!" An officer who was obviously not under the account of Yu Zi saw that they were still destroying the ship as if no one was around, and shouted to his companions: "Catch these troublemakers, and 'hand' them over to the general!" ”
"Stop!" When this group of Chu troops shouted in unison and rushed towards the soldiers and horses of the Yuzi period, Xiang Yu rode a black horse and ran towards them.
"I ordered General Ziqi to scuttle the ship!" Rushing in front of this group of Chu troops, Xiang Yu reined in the reins of his horse and shouted at them loudly: "Whoever dares to stop it will be punished for disobeying military orders!" ”
Seeing Xiang Yu blocking in front of him, the officers and soldiers of Chu who were about to obstruct the destruction of the ship in the Yuzi period all had puzzled expressions on their faces. They looked at each other, and they all looked at Xiang Yu, but none of them dared to ask out loud what other book friends were reading:.
Xiang Yu frowned, urging the black horse to go back and forth in front of these Chu troops, and finally he stood with his back to a big ship, and said to these Chu officers and soldiers: "Soldiers, I know what you are worried about. You are worried about what we will do if our army loses this battle and we lose these ships! ”
While Xiang Yu was speaking, the Chu officers and soldiers around him all held their breath and listened quietly. On the bank of the river, except for the sound of the surging river rolling eastward, there was only the sound of "dong dong" chiseling boats.
"Soldiers! What are we here for? Seeing that no one spoke, Xiang Yu raised his voice a little and said, "We are here to relieve the siege of the giant deer!" It's for the shame of blood! It's to avenge the old general! It is to strengthen the prestige of our army! It's also for the revitalization of my Da Chu! We can only win, not lose! ”
The officers and soldiers of Chu who were surrounding the side of the warship looked up at Xiang Yu who was standing in front of them like a god of war, and their faces were solemn, thinking about every word Xiang Yu said.
"We only have 50,000 people, but the Qin army has 400,000! Let you smash the pot stove and destroy the ship, not just to let you know that in this battle, I never thought of losing to the Qin army! I want you to know that in the face of the 400,000 Qin army, our only choice is to fight to the death! Seeing the thoughtful expressions on the faces of the officers and soldiers, Xiang Yu then said to them: "We want Zhang Han to know that we are not just here to show like other princes, we are here to fight with them with real swords and guns!" ”
After Xiang Yu said this, the Chu officers and soldiers surrounding the river bank gradually dispersed, and each of them had a complicated mood, in addition to feeling at a loss about the unknown fate in the next few days, there was also a sense of pride in the faint 'chest' because of Xiang Yu's words.
