The sun is to the west.

The river on the west side of the chasm has been dyed red by the blood of Qin and Chu soldiers.

Under the sun's rays, groups of mosquitoes and flies began to charge as a group, launching their own fierce offensive against the motionless corpses. Not far away, a few bold wild dogs risked being cooked to death.

To avoid the danger, he cautiously approached the periphery of the battlefield.

The Qin army's encirclement was getting smaller and smaller. After the Loulan soldiers appeared, the Chu army's fighting spirit became even more unbearable. Some small Chu army units that were separated far away from the central army began to lay down their weapons and chose to surrender to the Qin army. Legend has it that the Qin people would

The idea of ​​burying captured soldiers alive has long been proven by facts to be nothing more than a means used by the big shots in power to deceive the ignorant people.

The Qin State did not even kill the brothers of the important generals of the Chu army like Ji Xin, but also reused them. How could it embarrass these miserable little pawns? What's more important is that the Chu State was not a good place for ordinary soldiers like them.

, except for the doubling of taxes again and again, there is no other emotion.

If they were not ancestors or Chu people, if they were not relatives at home, these Chu soldiers would have long thought of escaping to Qin. Although the news from Qin was tightly blocked, there were still secret channels that would be passed back to Qin.

The country is undergoing tremendous changes.

human heart.

It is the most elusive and mysterious feeling.

At the beginning, it was Qin's strict and cruel laws that made the Guandong people who were accustomed to freedom and looseness very uncomfortable. It was Zhao Gao and Hu Hai who regarded deer as horses and appointed their cronies to make the people of Qin boil over. Therefore, when Chen Sheng of Daze Township shouted that sentence

Only when the slogan "Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind" was chanted, the people of Guandong would rise up and respond.

Today, although the situation in the Chu State has not reached the point where Zhao Gao and Hu Hai have disrupted power, in the Chu State under the governance of Xiang Tuo, the children of the Xiang family, whether they are capable or incompetent, can be reused easily, and

Those who have no relationship can only be pushed to a leisurely position, or they can only leave sadly.

The people of Chu State were dispersed.

When fame and wealth no longer exist, and when the selfish desire for survival outweighs honor, surrender becomes a matter of course.

——.

The center of the battlefield.

As Xiang Yu charged again and again, he gradually moved towards the chasm. However, the movement speed gradually slowed down, and sometimes even stagnated.

Two Hundred Loulan Soldiers.

Twenty-seven people have died under Xiang Yu's halberd.

This was still under siege. If it were a one-on-one duel, Xiang Yu's record would be much more astonishing.

Correspondingly, what they achieved was that almost all of Xiang Yu's personal guards were annihilated. At the same time, on Xiang Yu's body, there were sword marks that penetrated deeply into the bones, almost staining Xiang Yu's robes like a bloodbath.

Among these wounds, the most serious one was on Xiang Yu's left thigh. The sharp edge of the sword almost severed his aorta. The continuous blood loss made Xiang Yu's dark face turn pale. What's even more worrying is that

Yes, his movements have also lost flexibility due to these wounds.

On a battlefield full of enemy soldiers, being unable to evade flexibly means that you are one step closer to death.

At this time, Xiang Yu desperately hopes that a companion can help him. If not, at least he can take a breather. Otherwise, he will have to fight head-on with the Loulan barbarians again and again, no matter how much strength he has.

, and couldn't resist the enemy's shameless tactics.

"Xiang Sheng, Xiang Xiang, why don't you come up?" After another heavy blow, Xiang Yu's throat sweetened, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then he finally opened his mouth to shout fiercely.

According to his intuition, the younger members of the two clans, Xiang Sheng and Xiang Xiang, should be near him. Although he usually looks down on these two guys with mediocre abilities, Youdao is fighting with brothers, and father and son are fighting.

Now that I can't regain my strength, I can only rely on the support of my blood brothers in the clan.

With Xiang Yu's personality, he would never have spoken unless he had run out of gas. Unfortunately, there were only one or two groans from injured Chu soldiers in response to his shout.

Xiang Sheng and Xiang Xiang were both killed in the battle!

Of course not.

These two descendants of the Xiang family, who had high hopes from Xiang Yu, were leading a group of defeated soldiers to flee towards Xianqili. At this time, they also saw clearly that the Qin army was determined to keep Xiang Yu.

If they continue to follow happily, they will only be buried together and die together.

die.

Maybe a ruthless character like Xiang Yu, who has experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood, is not afraid.

However, like Xiang Sheng and Xiang Xiang, who had not experienced cruel scenes, they felt fear from the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, after Xiang Yu shouted that voice, the two of them invariably set foot on the Chu soldiers with the same thoughts.

Parting ways with Xiang Yu.

Regarding the split within the Chu army.

Li Zhongxiang didn't care. Characters like Xiang Sheng and Xiang Xiang were given to him to shoot. He was afraid of contaminating his own arrows. For a while, Li Zhongxiang held a strong bow and pointed the direction of his arrows.

It is Xiang Yu who is at the center of the battlefield.

If the two sides hadn't been fighting hand to hand, Li Zhongxiang would have shot an arrow long ago. Being able to kill Xiang Yu with his own hands, who was known as the invincible, was something Li Zhongxiang could be proud of.

——.

All around.

The shouts of death were getting closer and closer, yet seemed to be getting further and further away.

After a day of continuous killing, Xiang Yu's arms were already extremely heavy. The wooden shield covering his disabled left wrist had long been shattered. Without the protection of the shield, the left half of his body became the weak point of the Qin army's attack.

, the scar that hurt the thigh was caused by insufficient protection.

"It's the last minute!"

Xiang Yu shook his head and stared at the Qin soldiers who were getting closer and closer. In fact, many of these soldiers wearing black armor were not from the old Qin in Guanzhong, and some of them were even from Chu.

Use Chu people to check and balance Chu people.

Use the Kanto people to fight the Kanto people.

Li Yuan's attack changed Qin's isolation and helplessness in Guandong in one fell swoop. As a large area that originally belonged to Han, Zhao, Yan, Chu, Wei and other countries was annexed by Qin, people living in

The Guandong people in these places also welcomed and recognized Qin in a peaceful life.

The name of the country.

After all, it cannot be eaten as food.

Qin State's policy of treating Old Qin people and New Qin people equally, and its lower tax ratio than Chu State. Anyone who has personally experienced these will have a fair judgment in their hearts. For the people of Guandong who have experienced the turmoil

For them, peace and tranquility are like pearls, let them hold them in their hands and protect them with extra care.

"The times have passed, what can Yu Xi do?" Only then did Xiang Yu suddenly realize that Yu Ji's previous persuasion was for his own good. Unfortunately, at that time, he was still immersed in the relationship with Yu Xi.

In a relatively jealous state, Li Yuan didn't calm down and think about Yu Ji's words at all, right?

The sorrow of an emperor?

It’s not that there are no ministers who are loyal and direct in admonishing, it’s that even though they have direct admonitions, they are unable to listen to them, and what’s worse, they get angry at those who tell the truth.

"That's all, Xiang Ji, Xiang Ji, you pride yourself on being a hero, but you only listen to one's own beliefs, are stubborn, and let your beauty down. Now that the army has been defeated, why are you still alive?"

When Xiang Yu thought of this, he felt desolate in his heart, and the Overlord Halberd fell to the ground with a "choking" sound.

Seeing Xiang Yu's appearance, the besieging Loulan people were overjoyed. Just as they were about to step forward and capture the enemy general, they heard Xiang Yu suddenly shouting at Li Zhongxiang who was not far away: "General Qin on the other side has heard this. Xiang's head is here." , I have made it easier for you today. Please tell Thief Li, in the future, you should imitate the ancient Xingtian, use the breasts as eyes, use the navel as the mouth, and dance with your limbs, and you will definitely win or lose in another battle with him?"

As soon as he shouted, Xiang Yu suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and swung it towards his throat. Blood immediately surged out like a fountain. The intense blood loss caused Xiang Yu's burly body to shake several times, and finally he slowly fell to the sky.

A generation of heroes.

Xiang Yu, who had won countless honors and was regarded as the undefeated god of war on the battlefield, finally died on the side of the chasm.

Xiang Yu died.

The rest of the Chu army lost their fighting spirit. Xiang Sheng and Xiang Xiang fled desperately, and eventually died in the chaos. Were they killed by the Qin army, or were they assassinated by Chu soldiers who were not angry with their shameless behavior? This has been impossible to verify.

The only person who escaped with his life on the battlefield was the Chu general Xiang Han who had just crossed the river. After learning that Xiang Yu had committed suicide, Xiang Han was shocked and stopped his assault to the east. He could not save Xiang Yu. All efforts have no practical significance. As for the life and death of Xiang Sheng and Xiang Xiang, Xiang Han has never paid attention to it.

Xiang Han retreated to Hedong, and Zhou Yin led the remaining 6,000 defeated soldiers to flee in haste. Facing the highly morale Qin army, these frightened Chu soldiers no longer had the courage to fight with them.

From July 22nd to 24th.

The Qin army's division and annihilation battle against the remaining Chu army west of the chasm lasted for two full days. Many groups of Chu troops either surrendered or were killed. Even the Fan soldiers who first started to flee were chased by the Qin army's light cavalry. When they arrived at Yingshui, they were intercepted by Chen Xi's troops, and most of the Fan soldiers were surrounded and annihilated, leaving only a handful of ten or so people who fled into the vast mountains.

At this point, the smoke on the main battlefield of Honggou has basically subsided. The main force of the Chu army is about 40,000 people. In this battle, more than 34,000 people were annihilated and captured. Among them, the number of people who died directly on the battlefield was There were 15,000 people, and the rest all became prisoners of the Qin army.

The price paid by the Qin army was not small.

The Hexi Qingqi suffered the greatest losses. This Qin army originally had more than 3,000 cavalry. In the end, only more than 800 cavalry survived. It was the interception of those brave cavalry who died on the battlefield that stopped them. The Chu army's reinforcements joined Xiang Yu's middle army.
