Chapter Twenty-Three: The Guard
Xiang Yu rode a black horse and charged at the front of the team, and no one in front of him was his enemy, and he couldn't even stop his progress a little. _bar w-wยทw'.=
Seeing this, several Qin troops drove their horses and tried to join forces to intercept this rather fierce looking enemy general.
Faced with the encirclement of the enemy, the future overlord of Western Chu didn't care, but just casually swept the overlord gun in his hand in front of him in a fan-shaped shape, and there was no action. Only a few sonorous sounds were heard, and the weapons in the hands of the Qin army leaders who came from the front were broken in two, and their bodies were also spurting blood at the same time, and they fell to their deaths one after another.
Xiang Yu's weapon is an extremely heavy Zhanger spear, which has a very large attack range with a war horse. The sharp-eyed people around could vaguely see a faint white light flashing on Xiang Yu's spear head. Then Xiang Yu and the people did not stop, and went straight through the encirclement net that had not yet been fully formed, and then raised his hand and stabbed a few shots, and in an instant, several Qin army knights screamed and fell off their horses.
Xiang Yu, who was on the rise of killing, kept waving the overlord gun, and the Qin army knights who were blocking in front of him only felt that their eyes were full of heavy gun shadows, and the huge power coming from the gun made them unable to resist it at all. It was a real collision and death, and behind each wave of gunfire, a large number of corpses of the Qin cavalry would be left.
This guy is simply not a human being! This is simply a fierce beast in human skin! The knights who were still resisting the Qin army thought of it in despair, their morale was extremely low, and their will to fight completely collapsed.
Soon, the Chu army, with Xiang Yu and his personal guards as the spearhead, chiseled through the entire battle formation of this Qin army, and then divided and destroyed. The battle was over, and the victorious side began to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded...... wยทw=w.
Xiang Yu had been paying attention to this group of Qin cavalry for some time, and since the rebel army had advanced into Dong'e, this group of cavalry had been maneuvering on the outside line, waiting for an opportunity to harass and cut off his own supply lines.
Today, he received news that this Qin army had reappeared and was intercepting a baggage convoy that had just arrived from the rear county town. Xiang Yu hurriedly led the elite cavalry of his headquarters to the location in the intelligence, and finally intercepted this group of cunning enemies and annihilated them in one fell swoop.
Xiang Yu was very happy to solve the big trouble in the past few days, the only thing he felt was that they came a little slower after all, and the auxiliary troops that had been attacked had been almost completely wiped out, and it was impossible to restore their combat effectiveness without withdrawing them to reorganize and replenish.
The combat effectiveness of the auxiliary battalion is still too limited, and looking at the distribution of corpses on the ground, this army is almost at the touch of a button, and it has already collapsed at the same time as it touches the enemy. Everywhere were soldiers who were slashed from behind as they were busy fleeing, and their corpses almost covered the original attack route of the Qin cavalry.
However, this is not surprising, the use of infantry against cavalry on flat ground has always been a job that can only be done by the elite of a hundred battles, and it is not surprising that this third-rate army, which is not even a soldier, has this kind of performance.
Moving on, it was the baggage convoy, and the corpses that had been laid out all the way had changed here. It seems that someone has finally organized resistance, and the corpses here are in a state of interlaced canine teeth, and the Qin army has suffered casualties here for the first time. Although this resistance came too late, if it had not been for the arrival of reinforcements, the force would have been wiped out by the enemy. However, this is better than just running away.
Hmm? Suddenly appeared in sight a soldier kneeling on the ground with a spear, his body was quite strong, and he was wearing a heavy armor that Xiang Yu had never seen before. This should be an extremely protective warframe, as can be seen from the brutal fighting around it. Bar w'w-w=.-
With Xiang Yu's eyesight, it can naturally be seen that this armor soldier is the backbone of this defensive circle, and has endured the most attack pressure from the enemy. Without excellent protection, he would not have been able to take on this task. It's just that Xiang Yu is a little puzzled, this shape of armor is not like the equipment of ordinary soldiers, who is this strange armor?
The subordinate generals who followed Xiang Yu to check the battlefield also showed this situation, and couldn't help but gasp when they saw the tragic battle situation. Everyone is a long-time battle-hardened person, and many of them are experts in combat, and soon the battle trajectory of this armor soldier was roughly restored.
"It's really a warrior!" Xiang Yu's general, Long He, sighed. He rolled over and dismounted, taking in the signs of fighting around him.
"This person's martial arts are average, but he is long and powerful, and his temperament is also quite brave. โ
"Look here, everyone around is running away, only he is turning to meet the enemy and killing a Qin cavalry here. Facing the enemy alone, you can't do it without a little courage. Long Ji explained, pointing to the place where Xiang Ji was originally fighting.
However, he also made him the target of public criticism. Four or five corpses of the Qin army were killed here, which should have been the handiwork of this armor soldier. According to this estimate, there should be at least a dozen or even more Qin soldiers who once besieged him here. "In terms of this person's martial arts, he was able to live because of the protection of this armor on the one hand, and his physique should be extremely strong on the other hand. Otherwise, the impact of so many weapons hitting the body alone would be enough to kill an ordinary person. โ
"Look at it again, this is probably the route he took from the first battle scene towards the defensive circle, and there were two broken leg horses on the way, and I think this man did it. โ
"Finally, it was the battle after he joined up with our soldiers in the defensive circle. This should be the end of the battle, and he fought the Qin army for more than a dozen rounds as a spearhead, successfully repelling the enemy's attack. โ
"It's just, it's a pity, he still ...... in the end," Long Ji said and shook his head.
Indeed, everyone could see that this armorer was covered with scars, and his excellent armor was almost cut and scrapped. His body was soaked in blood, and his upper body was full of arrows like a hedgehog, many of which were critical. There were also two broken spears stuck deep in his chest, and if it weren't for the armor jamming the spearhead, he would have died a long time ago.
Even then, there was no way he would survive, because the bleeds alone would have drained him.
Xiang Yu could naturally see this, in fact, he had long known that this armor soldier had died. Xiang Yu himself was born with divine power and talent, and after he cultivated the family heirloom martial arts to the end of his life at the age of fifteen, his physical functions have become more and more ordinary. With his ears, he could already hear that the soldier who was kneeling on his knees had neither breathing nor heartbeat, and had been dead for a long time.
"It's a pity, I'll bury him later. Xiang Yu finally commanded.
"Ahem!Young Master~" A weak voice suddenly came.
"Old Wei, you are still alive!" Xiang Yu, who heard the voice, changed his face, turned over and dismounted and picked out a person from the pile of corpses.
"How are you, military doctor, come over here!" Xiang Yu called out loudly.
"I'm fine, young master. I just got knocked unconscious. โ
"Is this person your soldier? Who is he? Is this armor equipped in the army?" The generals next to him couldn't help but ask out loud when they saw that Lao Wei was fine.
"That's right, this is my chief. His name is Xiang Ji, a son of Jiangdong, and he is a recruit recruited by the auxiliary battalion some time ago. This kid's family has been in the army for generations, and some family martial arts are passed down. That armor was brought by himself when he joined the army, and it must have been passed down by the elders of the family. Old Wei faintly recalled, a little puzzled in his heart, how could he remember that this kid's armor and weapons were not so good? Could it be that he remembered wrongly?
"Xiang Ji?!Is it actually the same as my name?" Xiang Yu's heart was shocked.
At this moment, I heard the neighing of a war horse, and I saw Xiang Yu's black horse suddenly running to the side of the armor soldier, spinning anxiously.
When Xiang Yu saw this, his heart suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly ran behind Xiang Ji, the strength in his body surged secretly, and he slapped Xiang Ji's heart with a palm.
With this palm, I saw Xiang Ji suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body had a heartbeat and breathing again.
"Carry him down and heal him. Xiang Yu, who had put away his palms and adjusted his breathing, commanded tiredly.
"Yes, General. โ
"Also, if he can recover. Long Ji, you test him, if there is no problem, let him report to me. Xiang Yu thought for a while and said.
"I see. Long Ji replied, and he glanced at the unconscious Xiang Ji again.
It seems that this kid is going to become the personal guard of the major general, but it is good luck.
