Ji Bu received the general's order and quickly began to mobilize all the generals of Zuoying to prepare to attack the pass first.

At the same time, Li Yuan also received news from the scouts about the abnormal movements of the Chu army. He immediately judged that the Chu army was preparing to attack from both sides. You must know that Xiang Yu is a guy who will never be willing to fail.

Where you fall, you get up.

From the fire in the back mountain and the sound of war drums in the Chu camp, it can be inferred that Xiang Yu's ultimate intention is to storm the pass. However, it is still unclear when and who will command the battle.

storm.

For Xiang Yu, who believes in bravery, it is the method of warfare that he admires most. In the past, when facing the Eighth Route Army Camp of the Qin State's border army, he was able to risk everything without fear of life and death. Today, I believe Xiang Yu's choice is the same.

.

Therefore, when the Chu army's red flag with the character "Ji" was getting closer and closer, Li Yuan ordered Jiang Yu's five thousand infantry and Cao Xin's personal camp's two thousand elite soldiers to rush to the front line of the pass.

Jibu.

A worthy opponent, this man of great promise was a Chu general whom Li Yuan admired very much, not only because of his loyalty, but also because of his foresight.

In the siege of Baideng in history, it was Ji Bu's words that allowed the fledgling Han Dynasty to escape being completely defeated by the foreign tribes. If Ji Bu had not dissuaded the Lu family from sending troops, a group of old and weak soldiers temporarily recruited from Chang'an would have defeated them.

He was no match for the Xiongnu Maodun. In that case, not only would he not be able to save Liu Bang, but he might also lose the foundation of the entire Han Dynasty.

Of course, this is just an example recorded in history books. In this different time and space, the Battle of Baideng may occur as scheduled, or it may be another version. This will take time to slowly test.

While actively dealing with Ji Bu, Li Yuan also handed over the operation of clearing out the infiltrating enemies to Wang Shang and Zhang Ping for execution. This kind of encirclement and annihilation war in the jungle was the most popular among the Qin army of the Wang Dynasty who had fought along Chencang Road.

What you are good at and most familiar with.

——.

Ji Bu led the troops to fight.

Although he felt unspeakably aggrieved in his heart, Ji Bu still endured it. Ji Bu still understood Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng's intentions, but using such small means really made people feel chilling. He Ji Bu is not Ying Bu.

, and cannot do anything to turn against each other. Since he has made a promise to follow Xiang Yu, he will definitely stick to it to the end.

attack!

Taking down the Hulao Pass in front of him and rescuing Ji Xin, who was trapped by the Qin army, was Ji Bu's top priority. No matter how many Qin troops were blocking his way or who they were, Ji Bu was afraid of him.

After three days of silence, the Chu army once again sounded the clarion call to attack Hulao Pass.

This time, unlike the last temptation and intimidation, it was a real attack on the pass. Ji Bu quickly mobilized the 10,000 generals of Zuoying under his command, divided them into five echelons, and began the military attack on Hulao.

action.

Drums are beating.

The armor and clothes of the Chu army are as red as red.

Wave after wave of red waves appeared on the wilderness, giving people a strong feeling of shock. The red clothes were like blood, and the blood was like the setting sun. The generals of the Chu army were shouting crazily, running with great strides, and carrying them with all their strength.

Ladders and sandbags, no matter how dangerous the barrier is, cannot stop groups of soldiers desperate for their lives.

"kill!"

Ji Bu raised his sword high and led his troops to command on the front line. A wave of 2,000 carefully selected soldiers became the first to die. They were wearing heavy armor and holding thick swords. Under the cover of the archers,

Down, climbing up along the uneven rocks of the pass.

"Peng!"

A huge stone whizzed down and hit one end of the ladder, instantly breaking the thick wooden ladder into two pieces. The strong man with a beard above, who was trying to pick up the ladder, missed the step and dropped his sword with a strange cry.

, holding the protruding part of the rock with both hands, shaking constantly in mid-air.

"Go up the ladder again!" Seeing the failure of the first ladder, the captain led by the Chu army roared angrily and waved his hand to signal the siege troops behind him to come up quickly.

Pieces of red tide surged in, and bits of cold light fell in the air. This was the Qin army generals guarding the pass shooting enemy soldiers. Facing the ant-like enemies, the Qin army no longer needed to aim at Wangshan.

As long as you lower the crossbow slightly, you can achieve the effect of perfect accuracy.

Hulao Pass.

It is a mountain pass rising from the ground. There is no moat to block it. The Chu army can run from the other end of the wilderness to this end without any hindrance. On the top of the cliff several feet high at the pass, several generations of pass builders have built one after another.

The tunnel made of stone can be used to facilitate the defenders to quickly transport troops and rolls of wood and stones to defend the city. The tough rattan frame made of mountain rattan can lift kerosene and other sundries.

At the bottom of the pass, the pass is only wide enough to allow two carriages to pass side by side. If one of the carriages in the middle is traveling on the wrong route, the other carriage will be stuck in the middle and unable to move.

Capture the pass.

Even if you pull out the first nail to capture Hulao Pass.

Under the command of Ji Bu, rows of Chu soldiers shouted and howled as they set up the collected giant trees and other siege equipment on the pass.

——.

Relying on the strength of their numbers, the Chu army began a strong attack regardless of casualties!

On the pass, Li Yuan led the infantry of Jiang Yu's Qin army to hold on. Jiang Yu's infantry had rich experience in guarding the pass. Under Chencang City, they once killed the Han army Wang Ling's troops several times their own.

They blocked the city, thus creating conditions for the final fire attack to completely annihilate the enemy.

After entering Hulao Pass, Jiang Yu re-adjusted the defense of the pass. Batch after batch of rocks were mined and then lifted to the top of the cliff through rattan baskets. These sharp and irregular stones have become

The best weapon for the Qin army to deal with the Chu soldiers on the ladder.

"Da Chu, Da Chu!"

The red-eyed Chu army captain roared angrily. The first wave of two thousand dead soldiers fought fiercely for two hours, but less than a hundred people survived. A large number of mutilated Chu army soldier corpses were piled up layer by layer, and slowly

This shortened the distance between the bottom and the top of the pass, allowing the following Chu army to rush up the pass step by step over the corpses of their companions.

"Save me!,Save!"

A Chu army general whose lower body was hit by a stone and then pressed by multiple corpses screamed in pain. His face was covered with beards and blood, and it was impossible to tell where his eyes and nose were.

The battle lasted until noon, on the pass.

The military battalions led by the one-eyed captain Cao Xin have begun to enter the front-line battlefield one after another. During the fierce battle that lasted for a long time, Jiang Yu's troops were physically exhausted and gradually began to show signs of exhaustion.

"Haha, another one." Cao Xin said with a ferocious face, rolled one eye, and immediately picked off a Chu soldier who jumped up to the pass.

It was already the eleventh. Cao Xin's bravery boosted the morale of the Qin army generals in the camp. They defended the most important point in front of the pass, causing groups of Chu soldiers who tried to make meritorious deeds to return with regret.

Of course, those who were able to escape with their lives were still lucky. More people who dared to die left their lives under the overlapping passes.

"Blow the drum! Let's play the war song!" Li Yuan stood under the banner from beginning to end, watching the changes in the battle situation intently. The Chu army attacked one after another without stopping. For the soldiers guarding the pass,

, is a great psychological test, and the red armor of the Chu army also made the soldiers of the Qin army feel dizzy.

"Jiujiao Lao Qin, restore our rivers and mountains——!"

"Qin has sharp men, who can compete with them——!"

One, two, three or four, when one after another the Qin army soldiers sang low and sad war songs and integrated their bodies with this majestic pass, this Great Wall made of flesh and blood was an eternal place.

The pass that France captured.

——.

Ji Bu's face was ashen.

From morning to noon, it had been a full morning. Five waves of Qin troops took turns attacking. I don’t know how many rounds they took. However, of the 10,000 soldiers under his command, there were only less than 3,000 left.

Most of the seven thousand soldiers were trampled on the wilderness plains under the pass. Their corpses were piled up again and again, and gradually they were only half a person's height away from the cliff on the pass. As long as they used another force, the Qin army would have to

collapse.

But can the generals under his command still fight?

Ji Bu's heart was filled with desolation. The accumulation of several years was all gone in one day. From now on, Ji Bu would no longer be a general of the Chu army with more than ten thousand elite soldiers, but an ordinary ordinary soldier.

The general of the Chu army has no soldiers under his command, and there will no longer be so many soldiers who will join him.

How can a general who doesn't take the lives of his subordinates seriously win the love of his subordinates, and at the same time, how can he win the hearts and minds of others to fight for him?

"Send a message to the Overlord and tell him to send another reinforcement and capture the pass immediately!" Ji Bu's eyes were blood red, and traces of blood could be seen from the corners of his dry mouth.

There is no other way.

The battle that relies on people to accumulate is too cruel. According to Ji Bu's estimation, the Qin army on the pass is now close to the edge of collapse. Even though the casualties of the troops guarding the pass are not as huge as those of the attacking side, they are still being attacked again and again.

In a war of attrition, the Qin army's losses would not be less than 2,000.

Reinforcements!

Ji Bu asked Xiang Yu in the rear for quick reinforcements. On the other side, Li Yuan was also anxiously looking forward to good news from Wang Shang and Zhang Ping's encirclement and suppression troops.

At this time, Li Yuan didn't know that the commander of the small Chu army of thousands in the back mountain was Ji Bu's younger brother Ji Xin. However, no matter who it was, as long as he could be the first to defeat the Chu army that had infiltrated,

Annihilate. When the news of the complete annihilation of the enemy reaches the pass, it can quickly suppress the morale of the Chu army.

Time passes little by little in the race against time.

After receiving Ji Bu's order for help, Overlord Xiang Yu shouted excitedly, mobilized his black horses, and led his most elite soldiers to kill the general.

Revenge.

Also at this time.

"Li Yuan, are you ready to be crowned?" Xiang Yu shouted loudly, holding a big halberd high in his hand. His fiery red cloak, dark horse, and tall figure made him look like a god, making people laugh.
