When the soldiers brought by Zhou Bo saw that their general was defeated by Xiang Yu, they lost their fighting spirit and threw their weapons on the ground. Xiang Yu's sergeants stepped forward and surrounded them politely.

Zhou Bo waited for a long time but didn't wait for Xiang Yu's sword to be applied to him, so he opened his eyes and saw several Chu soldiers coming up to tie him up. Xiang Yu came to him and said, "I respect you too."

I am a tiger general, so I spare your life. I hope your master Liu Bang can think clearly in time to surrender to our great Chu. Otherwise, your life is still not guaranteed." Then he loudly ordered: "Take them to the walls of Surabaya City and hand them over to my uncle.

." The Chu army took more than 10,000 prisoners of war and headed for Surabaya.

The rain was very heavy. Fan Kuai wiped the rain on his face with his hands and said, "Everyone, hurry up. We can catch those Chu people off guard while it rains." He also immediately led the troops after receiving the order to ask for help.

Twenty thousand horses from Dang County came to support him. People around him also advised him: "General, it is better to wait until the rain subsides before rushing on. Otherwise, when we arrive at Sishui City, our brothers will be exhausted. How can we still fight with the Chu army?"

What's better?"

Fan Kuai glared at him: "What do you know? Now the Chu army is attacking our Sishui County in a big way. If we don't arrive quickly to help Lao Liu and the others retreat, I'm afraid that when we get there, we will only see the Chu people's flag planted at the top of the city of Sishui."

When the man saw that Fan Kuai was angry, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to work with him to urge the army to advance.

The road they were traveling on was much better than Zhou Bo's. It was not in a valley. The only dangerous thing was that there were trees on both sides of the road. The forest was so dark that even if there were soldiers and horses lurking in ambush, they couldn't see it.

There are indeed soldiers and horses lurking in the forest, and they are the 20,000 troops led by Xiang. This time, in order to deal with these two supporting troops, Xiang Liang has mobilized most of his soldiers. If Liu Bang from Surabaya comes out in full force at this time, Xiang Liang will

It can only be defeated.

Xiang Tao saw that the opponent had entered his ambush circle, so he ordered the archers to step forward to prepare, and then sent out the signal to attack. Fan Kuai's army, who was advancing, suddenly saw a loud arrow shot into the air and then shot out from under his feet.

Countless horse ropes suddenly appeared, and everyone was thrown into a fight without warning. Especially the horses' hoofs were broken by the horse ropes, and they fell to the ground and kept wailing. The knights on the horses were thrown out and fell.

They were half dead, or were crushed to death by horses. All of a sudden, the situation was in chaos, and there were complaints everywhere. And they had just started to complain, and a dense rain of arrows was shot out of the forest, almost as much as the rain from the sky.

The people's complaints turned into screams, and those who fell on the ground became targets for shooters in the forest. Those who did not fall were left to fend for themselves, not knowing what to do.

When Fan Kuai saw that he had fallen into the opponent's ambush, he couldn't help but became furious. He jumped off his horse and rushed into the woods with a knife. However, he only took a few steps before he was forced back by the arrow rain. His left leg was still injured.

He was hit by an arrow. "General, let's retreat first so that we can regain our footing." A staff officer accompanying the army came to Fan Kuai and said loudly.

Fan Kuai stared at the forest, as if a fire was about to break out. He pushed the man away and said, "What's your idea? If we retreat now, the morale of our army will definitely plummet. Now we can only defeat these enemies."

Only by killing and retreating can we re-establish our military morale." As he said this, he rushed forward again regardless of his injuries. The other soldiers were naturally inspired to see the general's bravery and rushed forward with Fan Kuai. Suddenly there were shouts of killing.

It resounds throughout heaven and earth.

As soon as Xiang saw the opponent's desperate attack, he knew that the opponent would not retreat, and his thousand bows could not stop the opponent's attack of 20,000 people, so he immediately ordered the archers to retreat and move the spearmen and spearmen.

They were placed at the front of the camp. After the archers shot out their arrows for the last time, they retreated to the back, while the spearmen and spearmen rushed forward with their weapons to face Fan Kuai's army. On one side, there were precision

With the deployment and high morale, one side rushed the attack in a hurry, relying only on a moment of bloody courage. The outcome was decided in just one encounter. Under Xiang Ta's calm command, the Chu army fought steadily, covering long and short distances.

The weapons cooperated perfectly, gradually eroding the lives of Fan Kuai's army sergeants, and forcing them together little by little. After fighting for more than two hours, the Chu army had surrounded Fan Kuai's army.

Xiang Ta came to the front of the formation and said, "Which general is leading the army on the opposite side? Can you please come out and see me?"

Fan Kuai squeezed out from the crowd and said, "We have been defeated. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"To show our great Chu's friendliness to you, Liu Bangjun, as long as you stop resisting and put down your weapons, we will not launch an attack on you." Xiang Ta shouted loudly.

"You want me, Lao Fan, to surrender to you? That's a dream!" When he heard that he was trying to persuade you to surrender, Fan Kuai said angrily, and then waved the big knife in his hand: "Kill, even if I die, I will pull you together!" After speaking, he took the lead.

After rushing forward, the soldiers behind were influenced by the general and rushed forward desperately, vowing to fight the Chu army to the death.

When Xiang Tao saw that the opponent had no intention of surrender, he issued the order to attack. The first thing Fan Kuai's army saw was a dense rain of arrows, then the impact of long weapons such as spears, and then the Chu army armed with swords.

The bloody battle lasted until the afternoon of the next day. Blood and stagnant water flowed everywhere, and countless people fell, including Liu Bang's soldiers and Chu troops. In the end, Fan Kuai only had more than 300 soldiers left, and Xiang Fang only had

There are more than 5,000 people.

Fan Kuai roared and was about to kill him when he heard the sound of a sharp weapon piercing the air from behind. A spear pierced his back and passed through his front. A crying voice said: "General

, I really don’t want to fight anymore..." Fan Kuai turned his head with difficulty and saw one of his own soldiers holding a spear that was pierced into his body. He felt his body light up and slowly fell down.

On the ground, he never imagined that he would eventually die in the hands of his own soldiers.

After killing Fan Kuai, the soldier immediately knelt down on the ground to express his surrender, and the others also surrendered. Looking at the dead soldiers on both sides, Xiang felt a sense of sadness. He ordered people to carry Fan Kuai's body away, and then took him with him.

The army returned to Surabaya.

"Pei Gong is in trouble, General Fan's body was picked out by the Chu people to show to the public! Some Chu people sent this letter in." A soldier hurried into the hall and shouted to Liu Bang.

"What?" Liu Bang, who was looking worried at this time, shouted in fright when he heard this, "Are you true? Is Lao Fan really dead?" As he said that, he stepped forward and grabbed the man.

Soldiers' clothes.

"It's absolutely true, I saw it with my own eyes," the soldier said hurriedly.

Liu Bang pushed him away and walked quickly towards the city wall, followed closely by Xia Houying and Xiao He.

Climbing to the top of the city, Liu Bang looked in front of the Chu army's camp and saw a large wooden stake standing there. A head was hanging from the top of the wooden stake. The head's beard and hair were spread out, and his eyes were wide.

It was Fan Kuai, whom Liu Bang and others were so familiar with. "Old Fan~" Liu Bang shouted with deep hatred in his eyes. At this time, the soldier just chased him from behind and said: "Pei Gong, you haven't seen the Chu people yet."

Where is the letter sent to the city?" He said and handed over the silk book in his hand.

Xiao He on the side reached out to take it, opened it and looked at it and said: "Pei Gong, it seems that I have conquered Gucheng in Surabaya. Both reinforcements have been defeated by the Chu army. Zhou Bo was captured alive by them, and Lao Fan...

..”

Liu Bang looked at Xiao He, then at Fan Kuai's head below the city wall, and said, "What should we do?"

"There is only one way to go now, and that is to surrender to Chu." Lu Pheasant also appeared on the top of the city at some unknown time and said after listening to Liu Bang's question.

Xiao He thought for a while and said: "What Madam said makes sense. Now that the reinforcements have been defeated by them, the morale of our army is even lower than at the beginning. The city of Surabaya cannot be defended. The only solution now is to surrender to Chu."

People become their own people.”

Hearing that the two people he trusted most proposed to surrender, Liu Bang also wanted to surrender, but he then asked: "If we surrender to the Chu people now, will we gain their trust?"

"Yes, after all, we still have tens of thousands of troops on hand. The Chu people also suffered heavy losses this time, so they can use our troops to supplement them." Xiao He said firmly.

"Then you, Lao Xiao, will go to the Chu camp for me and tell them that we are willing to open the city and surrender." Liu Bang said, turned around and walked down the city. As he walked down, he swore in his heart:

"Lao Fan, I will definitely avenge you. Although I have surrendered to the Chu people now, I will definitely kill all these Chu people and let the Chu country be wiped out again to avenge your murder!"

The contact between Xiao He and Xiang Liang was very fast. In less than three days, the two sides reached an agreement. The Chu army successfully entered the city of Surabaya. As a surrender, Liu Bang will return to Kuaiji with Xiang Liang and others, while Xiang He and Xiang Liang will return to Surabaya.

Xia Houying jointly managed it. After rectifying the army and horses, Xiang Liang returned with the army. Fusu accompanied him and looked at Liu Bang, the final winner in history, and felt that something was wrong, but he could not see what was wrong.

After that, Fusu still returned to Jiujiang County to be his long history, but Xiang Yu followed Xiang Liang back to Kuaiji. At this time, Jiujiang County became dominated by Yu Fulong again, but Fusu knew that the people here could no longer

Out of Chu people's control.

Time flew by quickly, and it was already the end of April, and the weather was gradually getting hotter. At this time, Yu Fulong gave Fusu another task, which was to select a good boatman to prepare for the upcoming annual Dragon Boat Festival competition.

.This was beyond Fusu's expectation. He could not have imagined that Chu in such troubled times would still be so interested in dragon boating, so he went to ask Miss Yu, and at the same time he wanted to borrow from her the rowing expert named Lao Chen.
