Chapter 85 The Beginning of the Confrontation
Two days before Jiujiang City was broken, Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang's armies were already three hundred miles away from Jiujiang City. At this time, they were setting up camp to rest. Xiang Yu walked into Xiang Liang's tent and asked, "Uncle, why don't you let me take the lead?"
Are the troops going to support Jiujiang City?"
"The Qin people are different from the previous enemies. This time they are well prepared, and they must have sent reinforcements to our army. If you rush to the rescue, you may fall into their trap, so I will not let you
You took the risk." Xiang Liang wiped his long sword and said.
Xiang Yu disagreed with his statement: "But uncle, the marching speed of our army is too slow. I am afraid that the city will have been captured by the Qin people before we reach Jiujiang. By then, won't we be running at a hundred speeds?"
Xiang Liang smiled and said: "Let me ask you, why did we occupy so many counties?"
"Of course they are against Qin and will destroy the violent Qin."
"Then why should we care about the gains and losses of this city? As long as our army can annihilate the tens of thousands of Qin troops in Jiujiang City, it will be a victory for us Chu people. It doesn't matter whether Jiujiang City was captured or not.
.”
"Does uncle already have a way to deal with these Qin people?" Xiang Yu asked in surprise.
"Yes, so we can't fight with the Qin people recklessly, but we have to fight them in a planned way." At this point, Xiang Liang turned and walked towards the sleeping couch and said, "We have to go on a journey tomorrow, so you can pay your bills as well."
In this way, under Xiang Liang's deliberate suppression, the Chu army rushed towards Jiujiang City at a not too fast pace, and finally arrived when the city was broken. "Xiang Yu, you will lead 10,000 horses as the vanguard.
The Qin people who stayed outside launched an attack. Remember, in addition to killing more Qin people, your most important goal is to drive them into Jiujiang City."
Xiang Yu took the command arrow and mounted his horse to charge. Along the way, he was full of doubts, but was suppressed by Xiang Liang, making his strength useless. Now he finally had the opportunity to show off his skills. He stepped across
The Wuzui horses dismounted, carrying long swords, and led 10,000 Chu soldiers to charge towards the Qin army who was still outside at this time.
"Hey, people go to the city to grab something, but we can only watch here. We are treated like heaven and earth." A Qin soldier complained to his comrades.
"Yeah, what are you saying about being afraid of reinforcements from the Chu people? I think the two generals don't want us to perform meritorious service at all. Who told us that we are General Zhang's people?" Another person also agreed, "The people inside should be already here now.
They have almost killed those Chu people, and the city has been completely robbed by them. Only we have to wait here stupidly for those Chu troops who don’t know whether they will come...Chu troops!"
He suddenly shouted loudly and pointed his fingers behind his back.
When the other sergeants heard his shout, they turned around and saw flags with large Chu characters embroidered on them and thousands of cavalry rushing towards them. Behind the cavalry were
Chu State Army.
"Kill~" With loud shouts of killing, swords were already slashing at the necks of the Qin soldiers who were staying there. In a short time, the hundreds of people who were dragged at the back were all killed by the Chu people.
"Hurry up and form a formation to face the enemy. They are just the vanguard. We have more than three times as many people as they do." The generals who stayed outside hurriedly directed the Qin army to straighten the already slack formation. "The crossbowmen are ready to shoot those enemies."
cavalry."
However, these Qin soldiers were attacked without preparation. In addition, their hearts followed the Qin soldiers who entered the city to rob. How could they form a formation to defend against the enemy at that moment?
Therefore, under the charge of the Chu army's cavalry, everyone was confused and fled back. No matter how many generals shouted, no one listened to them.
At this time, Xiang Yu had already charged into the Qin army. His sword was like lightning in his hand. He had already knocked down five Qin soldiers in just a few strokes. However, he had no intention of stopping. He shouted and knocked down another Qin soldier.
He cut the whole man into two pieces with his sword. At this time, the Qin soldiers had also discovered his demon-like existence, and were attracted by his momentum and retreated. Xiang Yu would not stop attacking just because the enemy retreated.
Every time he swung his sword, a Qin soldier fell down, killing only the Qin army who did not dare to appear within three feet of him. The Chu army, led by this brave general, also overwhelmingly routed the entire Qin army.
As a last resort, the generals had to lead the Qin army to retreat into the city of Jiujiang. The Qin soldiers in the city also discovered the Chu army and were busy using bows and crossbows at the top of the city to prevent Xiang Yu's vanguard from entering the city. Only then did they retreat.
The Qin army entered the city safely.
But this time Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army of more than 30,000 people with 10,000 horses, which immediately shook the morale of the Chu army.
At this time, the day shift and Zhao Changke who were stationed in the city had already rushed to the top of the city. Seeing that their army was so useless, they were furious. Zhao Changke said: "The other party only has 10,000 troops, so they will kill you with 30,000 troops."
They fled in after being killed, is the military might of our Great Qin still there? Regroup your troops now, go out of the city and kill all these Chu people!"
"No, look, there are more than 10,000 Chu people." Bai Ban was more cautious than Zhao Changke, pointing to the smoke in the distance and said, "It seems that reinforcements from Chu have arrived, and now the situation has become that we defend and they attack.
"
Sure enough, where he pointed, tens of thousands of high-spirited Chu troops slowly appeared. They joined forces with Xiang Yu's army and began to challenge in a showy manner outside the city.
"This is unreasonable. We obviously have more troops than they do, so why should we shut up and not fight?" Zhao Changke said angrily.
"Then General Zhao will lead his troops to fight with them, but I, the general, still have other ideas." The day squad did not take the Chu people's provocation seriously at all.
"Okay, I'll go and kill the Chu people." He was a little sullen because he needed the help of the day shift to conquer Jiujiang City. Now that he was provoked by the Chu people, Zhao Changke couldn't bear it anymore and immediately rushed out with 50,000 troops.
Go to the city.
Xiang Liang was waiting for this moment. After seeing the Qin army leaving the city, he waved his command flag and the Chu army also came to meet them. The two armies fought outside Jiujiang City. For a while, the sky was dark and the Chu people
The victory was due to the overwhelming momentum, but the Qin people thought that there were still tens of thousands of backup troops in the city, and their weapons and armor were better than those of the Chu army, so it was hard to tell the winner for a while.
Xiang Yu eagerly said in the Chu army's formation: "Uncle, just let me go up and fight again."
Xiang Liang shook his head and said: "This time our army is not sure of victory. I just want to trap the Qin army in Jiujiang City."
The two sides fought from noon to dusk, and each lost a lot of troops. Seeing that it was getting dark, they had to withdraw their troops. The Chu army stationed a few miles outside the city, and the Qin army also began to strengthen the troops defending the city. A battle
A protracted offensive and defensive battle began.
But it was said that after Fusu and his party left Jiujiang City, they traveled dozens of miles before they were truly safe. At this time, Han Xin asked: "Brother Zhou's identity is not as ordinary as you said before, right?"
Fusu jumped off the horse, walked to the stream on the roadside, washed his face and said: "I can't expose my identity in other people's formation. I hope Brother Han can understand. But with Brother Han's intelligence,
I think you can guess who I am?"
Han Xin closed his eyes and thought for a while and said: "Look at the direction we are heading to the northwest. In the northwest, apart from the Qin people, only Shangjun is left. Since you helped the Chu people defend the city when the Qin people attacked the city, then
You are from Shangjun. And judging from your age and knowledge, I guess you are Prince Fusu, the eldest son of Qin Shihuang, the lord of Shangjun."
"Haha, Brother Han is indeed a smart man. He guessed my identity so quickly. I really admire him." Fusu said with a smile, "I wonder if Brother Han is willing to follow me back to Shangjun, and we can create a world together?
"
"I am the Chu people that the Qin people hate the most among the Six Kingdoms. Aren't you afraid that I will be harmful to you?"
"People from the Six Kingdoms and Qin are all the same in my eyes. Isn't it because the Qin Dynasty was able to finally unify the world because of the countless talented people from Qin and the Six Kingdoms? If Zhang Yilian hadn't broken through the alliance, our Qin country would have
The country was destroyed by the Six Kingdoms long ago, and he is not from Qin. Mrs. Huayang, who helped King Zhuang Xiang sit on the throne, was also a princess of Chu. Not to mention Cai Ze, Lu Buwei, Li Si and other figures who helped the emperor unify the world.
, are not from our Da Qin, so in my eyes, Fusu, I don’t care who he is, I only see whether he is willing to create a new world with me!" Fusu said impassionedly as he stood under the sunset.
After hearing his words, Han Xin's eyes flashed with light, and then he knelt down and said: "Han Xin is willing to follow the prince to the death and create a legacy that will last for generations to come."
"We are also willing to follow the prince and never regret it." Peng Hong and others on the side were also moved by Fusu's words and fell to their knees one after another.
Fusu hurriedly supported him with his hands and said: "You don't have to do this big gift. I can give you a guarantee. As long as Fusu wins the world, the people will no longer suffer from loss of money and homelessness, and talents will definitely find their own ability."
to show the director's position. But now our top priority is to rush back to Shangjun."
"Yes, now is not the time to talk about these things, let's set off!" Peng Hong also said. After saying that, he shook the reins, and the horse he dismounted moved forward. Everyone behind him also started to move forward.
Head to their home - Shangjun.
Jiujiang City is now in chaos. From the beginning when the Qin soldiers entered the city and looted, to the later confrontation between Qin and Chu, the Qin people began to arrest people who might be Chu spies. For a time, the entire Jiujiang City fell into terror.
.In the original prison, many ordinary people who the Qin people thought were spies were imprisoned. Of course, there were also people who were really spies, but the manhunt in the city continued, or one day when only Qin soldiers were left in the city, the manhunt would begin.
stop.
The night was quiet. Two light figures walked out from a group of refugees in the southeast corner and headed towards the prefect's mansion. One of them said: "I don't know how uncle is doing. I haven't heard of him since the city was destroyed."
News."
"Miss, don't worry, sir, he will be fine. After all, he was also an official of Qin before." Another person said. They were Yu Ziyan and Qing Ming who were running with the people, but they didn't
