Chapter 148: Strong wind

Just like the wildebeest migrants on the grassland, the Qin army was as powerful as a tiger on the battlefield. They were eager to survive and continued to move forward, completely ignoring the threat of the Chu army on both sides. This kind of indomitable momentum was like the wildebeest who was eager to survive. Even if the crocodiles, lions and cheetahs whose companions were attacked from time to time, they could not change the pace of the large army's advance.

One hour later, nearly 30,000 elite troops from the Northern Legion led by Sima Liang broke through the siege of the Chu army and entered the sea. They didn't even have time to look back, so they ran towards Hangu Pass.

"Hurry, cut the Qin dog into two pieces!" Ying Bu shouted helplessly, the weak Chu army finally could not stop the Qin army rushing to death with the intention of death. Ying Bu could only gather all the elite troops to complete a pursuit of the Qin soldiers who were stranded in the valley.

Because in the valley, seeing hope of rushing out, Zhang Han's direct subordinates who had already put down their weapons also started to noise. If they were asked to escape, Ying Bu would really break through the south wall.

After another half an hour, the Chu army's reinforcements finally arrived. Hearing the sound of shaking in front of him, and receiving Ying Bu's request for reinforcements, Xiang Yu quickly mobilized Huan Chu, and two elite troops of Long and Qi came quickly towards Guye Pond.

The Chu army was dispatched in a timely manner. The 200,000 Qin troops escaped, and more than 30,000 people were killed at the entrance of the valley. The remaining 140,000 Qin troops were still blocked in the valley. However, not many of them belonged to the northern legion. Apart from those who followed Sima Liang to break through the siege and died in battle, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers who had not had time to leave the valley.

As the middle of the year, the torch shone brightly on the valley and wild ponds.

When Xiang Yu, who was aware of the mutiny in front of him, accompanied by Yafa Fan Zeng, surrendered generals Zhang Han, Sima Xin, Dong Yi and others, came to the battlefield where he had just fought fiercely.

"Yingbu, Huan Chu, what are you waiting for? Chase me! Kill one by one, and you must not let Qin Gou be arrogant and proud!" Looking at the tragic battlefield full of corpses, Xiang Yu felt annoyed. These Qin Gou really didn't know how to live or die. Their generals announced their surrender, and they actually dared to resist!

"No!" Yingbu, Huan Chu and Qi responded, and each took the order and left.

"Don't calm down, this is because I, Zhang Han, was incompetent in the military, and I have caused such evil consequences. Please punish the major general!" Before Xiang Yu could send his anger to himself, the scheming Zhang Han had already stood up early and said with a shameful voice.

"It's not your fault for this. It's all these Qin dogs. I wanted to give you a way out, but I didn't want to leave!" Xiang Yu stared at the dead bodies at the entrance of the valley below and said angrily. Qin Dog--, when Xiang Yu said this, Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi all had red and white faces. Although they surrendered to the Chu army, they were still Qin people. It felt really uncomfortable to be scolded as dogs in public.

"Major General, the morale of the surrendered soldiers in the valley is unstable. According to Zhang, it is better for us to comfort him first?" Zhang Han took a step forward and gave a deep voice.

In any case, it was luck that Xiang Yu did not blame this mutiny, but whether Xiang Yu would show mercy again will happen again. To save his life, Xiang Yu must think that this life is valuable. Pacifying the surrendered soldiers, now is the best opportunity to reflect value, and Zhang Han cannot miss it.

"Okay! Go and tell the surrendered soldiers that those who want to survive will stay honestly. Those corpses at the entrance of the valley are role models." Xiang Yu sneered.

"Don't worry, Major General, I, Zhang Han, promise that there will never be another mutiny!" Zhang Han said, while walking towards the detained surrendered Qin soldiers with Sima Xin, Dong Yi, Zhang Ping.

"Father Ya, what do you think of these surrendered soldiers?" When Zhang Han walked away, Xiang Yu turned around and asked Fan Zeng, who had never spoken, stood behind him.

"Care killing--! Care killing all." Fan Zeng's voice was extremely cold, as if he fell into an ice kiln in the twelfth lunar month.

The long-term confrontation has caused Xiang Yu's army to provide a serious shortage of food and fodder. It is now quite difficult to support 400,000 anti-Qin coalition forces. If the 1400,000 surrendered soldiers were added, the food and fodder would be even more tense. Instead of causing a mutiny without food, it would be better to kill them directly once and for all.

Hangu Pass.

The strong wind was already the general of Fu's army, Shejian, wearing armor and halberds, with a steep face and a silver-white beard trembled slightly. He was ordered to guard Hangu Pass and could not reach the Lantian Pass for the thrilling battle. This made Shejian feel uneasy. Fortunately, this time, he finally waited for the opportunity to go to the battlefield again.

"My boys, the opportunity to kill the enemy has arrived. Are you ready?" Shima yelled loudly at the three thousand elite soldiers who were about to set out.

"Please don't worry, General!" The answer was a shout of thunder in unison.

Shujian had just received an emergency military report from Sima Liang. When he knew that the Qin army in Jiyuan was defeated, he quickly reported to Fu Ge in Xianyang, and immediately rectified the soldiers who were ready to rescue Sima Liang.

Although there are not many soldiers, the number of soldiers is not many, but the quality. They have full confidence in these soldiers carefully selected.

"Set out!" With the order from Shuma, the Qin soldiers who had been oppressed by strong fighting spirit for too long were raised one by one. This time they went to fight to rescue Tong Ze of the Northern Legion, to avenge the defeat of the Chu army half a year ago, and to revive the fierce majesty of the Great Qin Iron-Tao Xiong Army.

The section from Hangu Pass to Jiyuan belongs to the western section of Sanchuan Valley. Sima Liang led the breakout soldiers to run wildly until it was almost noon the next day before he arrived near Hangu Pass and met with the indirect response regiment. As the way, nearly 2,000 tired soldiers fell out of the team.

"After the old general, there is a Chu army chasing behind him. Please let me know everything!" Sima Liang, who was so tired that he was so tired, panting. Ying Bu and Long Qi led their troops to pursue each other reluctantly. Sima Liang had done his best to keep most of the two Chu army generals intact.

"General Sima, don't worry, let me leave the Chu thief to me!" Shema shouted loudly, pulled out his horse and made a gesture to the soldiers beside him. In an instant, three thousand elite soldiers flew past the retreating Qin army like a storm and attacked eastward.

"You damn Qin dogs, kill!" As the pursuit, Ying Bu cursed fiercely, while sneering and wiping the blood-stained halberd on the fallen Qin soldiers.

With Ying Bu's military talents and means, if he is not careless, even if the enemy is seven times more likely to be killed, he has the confidence and ability to defend for two hours under a specific terrain like Guyepi that is extremely beneficial to the defense. However, it is precisely the careless mentality that has caused Ying Bu to suffer.

Under the circumstances at that time, the Chu army that was in a hurry to fight had not yet fully launched and landed, and the Qin army had already rushed over like a tide. Even if Ying Bu had all kinds of courage, he could only do nothing. Xiang Yu's anger and the ridiculous eyes of other generals made Ying Bu feel extremely humiliated and killed, and let Qin dogs who dared to resist died one by one in the mud, which immediately became Ying Bu's first thought.

Driven by the strong revenge, Ying Bu's pursuit was covered with the blood of Qin soldiers. His speed was so fast that Long Qiejun, who cooperated with him, was left far behind.

"The old general is a thief of Chu!"

"General, look———it's the flag of Qin Dog!"

Shuma was getting closer and closer to the two armies led by Ying Bu, and finally encountered a river valley more than 90 miles away from Hangu Pass.

"Damn it, I'm so impatient to come and take the fight!" Ying Bu gritted his teeth and stared at the gradually clear black enemy formation, and shouted angrily.

"General, do you want to inform General Long and General!"

"I'm notifying you, are you still afraid that Qin Gou can't win this?" Ying Bu sneered.

Look at the number of Qin soldiers on the opposite side is only about 3,000, which is almost the same as the pursuers he brought to the Chu army. However, if we compete with individual combat capabilities and command capabilities, Ying Bu believes that he will definitely win the battle.

"My boys, the Chu bandits have not had much force. Keep the defense line and don't let the Chu bandits break down!" Just as Ying Bu made this judgment, Shujian actually had the same analysis.

As a result, a small-scale battle with wonderful wits and courage began. One old and one young, one brave and the other was steady. One strong soldier broke through and rushed forward, and the other was step by step, without any leakage. These are two completely different combat styles. The ethical and conventional rules and regulations of the English Bu and the average rules of the intercourse are also wonderful.

In the end, under the command of Shejian, the Qin army relied on the long-range lethality and orderly formation of the crossbow to consolidate the defense line steadily, and Yingbu was not completely defeated. Before Longqi reinforcements arrived, he had at least pushed the front line to a place only sixty miles away from Hangu Pass.

The casualties of both sides were basically the same, and they each lost more than a thousand soldiers. The Qin army was mainly entangled by the assault troops led by Ying Bu and could not escape and died. The Chu army was mostly shot by crossbows or injured or died. After two and a half hours of battle, when Shujian saw the Chu army reinforcements arrived, Sima Liang's troops had successfully retreated into Hangu Pass, they no longer insisted and simply retreated to Hangu Pass and rested.
