Chapter 288: The Old Fighting King

Zhuluo Mountain!

For Xiang Ji, that is definitely not a good memory.

Xiang Ji, who believed in martial arts and bravery since childhood, had his only failure in 25 years was his battle with Liu Kan on Zhuluo Mountain.

Although it seemed that Liu Kan was at a disadvantage that time, Xiang Ji knew in his heart that Liu Kan was actually slightly better than him in terms of strength.

Carrying a tripod and receiving a tripod are completely different concepts. Even Xiang Ji himself was not sure that he could take the giant tripod at that time. But Liu Kan actually caught it and threw it back, but Xiang Ji did not dare to take it head-on, which was considered a loss.

Three years have passed, Xiang Ji always remembers the competition that day.

But he left in a hurry that day, so he did not ask Liu Kan's name. After that, something happened to Xiang Liang, which forced Xiang Ji to divert his attention. Therefore, even though he was at Lou Cang City, he still didn't know that Guangwujun from Lou Cang was the enemy of Zhuluo Mountain that day.

How did Xiang Ji come from?

It turned out that when the fire broke out in the Huai River Floating Bridge last night, Xiang Ji immediately realized that the situation was not good.

But the fire and water were ruthless, so he had no other choice. He had to build a floating bridge again after dawn and lead the army across the Huai River.

After gathering the remaining defeated generals, Xiang Ji asked about the battle situation last night.

But the problem is that many Chu soldiers didn't even see what the enemy looked like. Some even closed their eyes and imagined Guan Ying's troops as the brave and invincible water monster heavenly soldiers... Xiang Ji was a little confused when he heard it.

But one thing is very clear, that is, Long Qi was ambushed by the Qin army.

Chen Ying was the first person to lead his troops across the river. After inspecting the ruins of Xu County, he smiled wryly: "The Qin general is quite strategic. He actually built a dam to store water a few days ago. When General Long Qi stayed overnight in Xu County, he was broken into the dam and discharged the flood, which led to his entire army being wiped out."

"What about Dragon Give? Where is Dragon Give now?"

Xiang Ji and Long Qi can be said to have a friendship that grew up together since childhood.

He didn't care about the outcome of the Chu army, but was only worried about Long Ju's safety. The answer he could get was that Xiang Ji was extremely sad. In just one Xu County, thousands of people were trapped to death, and they were hit by floods along the way, and countless casualties were injured. Later, he was ambushed by the Qin army, and it was said that even the body of a Qin army was not found on the entire battlefield. Long Ju's result can be imagined.

Xiang Ji was furious and did not care about Chen Ying's dissuasion. Before even the army crossed the river, he led the eight thousand soldiers of his headquarters to approach Lou Cang in a fierce manner. In Xiang Ji's eyes, Lou Cang was not worth worrying, and the eight thousand soldiers could definitely occupy it easily.

But when he arrived at Loucang City, Xiang Ji was stunned!

This Lou Cang is not a small town, it is clearly a turtle shell.

The city is high and the walls are thick, and Xiang Ji has never seen such a strong city. Even Wuxian, the capital of Kuaiji County, is far inferior to the walls of the building and warehouse. Moreover, unlike the ordinary urban structure, the two side castles are set in conical shapes, which makes the attack surface suddenly shrink by more than half.

Once an attack is launched, the soldiers who attack the city will be attacked from three sides.

Attack the side castle first, the attack surface is too small and the formation cannot be formed at all. If you want to attack the main city first, you will face the attack from the side castle on both sides.

In addition, outside Lou Cang City, there are dense ditches and ravines, and large siege equipment cannot be put into use immediately.

If you want to use siege equipment, you must first fill these canals and gullies. But in this way, the time for siege will be greatly extended.

Which damn guy is this who designed such a town?

Xiang Ji had no choice but to set up a formation and rode his horse under the city to yell.

When Xiang Ji heard Liu Kan's voice, he felt familiar. But as soon as the three words Zhuluo Mountain came out, he immediately remembered Liu Kan.

"So it's you!"

Xiang Ji pulled his horse and watched from the city.

At this time, the sunset was setting, and from Xiang Ji's perspective, it was facing the afterglow of the sunset. In the afterglow, a majestic figure like an old man stood on the top of Lou Cang City. The face was not clear, but the figure wearing the sunset made Xiang Ji feel a little shocked.

Chen Ying did not exaggerate. The building warehouse looks bad!

"Man, are you the Lou Cang Guard?"

Xiang Ji was unexpected and did not say anything like clamoring for "Qin Gou". He was a proud man and would never have any respect for his vulnerable opponents. However, he had special respect for those brave people. What's more, Liu Kan had been right with him.

"A certain family, Guangwujun, the commander of Sishui, Liu Kan."

Liu Kan smiled and bowed, "Xiang Ji, you and I are their own masters, so don't say anything more about the scene... If you want to fight, a family will accompany you to the end. Zhuluo Mountain failed to decide the outcome, and today we will fight to the death in this Lou Cang. However, you came from afar and must be tired. If a family does not take advantage of you, you will rest for one night. Tomorrow, we will fight to the death, how about it?"

This statement was a prelude to the forefront.

Don’t you call yourself brave? I will fight you! And, I will never take advantage of you.

Just these words, the Chu army under the city changed their faces. Since ancient times, they knew heroes and were more important than heroes. The Chu people were fighting fiercely and admired this brave person the most. Seeing Liu Kan’s words today, they felt a good impression of each other, and the neat formation appeared a little disorganized.

Historical books say that Xiang Ji is not good at reading military tactics.

But how could a person who does not know military tactics gain the reputation of the Overlord of Western Chu?

Xiang Ji suddenly saw Liu Kan's intention. This guy was disrupting my military morale! Don't look at how nice he said, he refused to take advantage of me. You are the one who acted in one go, and then he was declining and exhausted three times... The more generous he seemed, the more he was, the morale would be weak after my troops were resting for a night. Therefore, you must not bow to him. Only by fighting with him can you show my Xiang Ji's majesty.

"Liu Kan, don't show the benefits of words!"

Xiang Ji's horse circled, pointed to the top of the city and said, "Is it a hero, can you dare to fight me now?"

"Ha!" Liu Kan laughed and said, "I didn't want to take advantage of you, but I didn't know how good or bad you are. If you want to fight, you will fight... Xiang Ji, wait for me to take your life!"

If you want to fight, fight!

As soon as these six words were heard, the drums sounded loudly on the top of the Lou Cang City, making people's blood boil.

Xiang Ji was even more furious. Liu Kan was sharp-tongued and said everything he should have said before. It was really hateful!

After a while, the unique sound of the Qin army's Longhorn trumpet came from Loucang City.

The horn sound was vigorous and vigorous, stirring in the air. Immediately after the city gate opened, Liu Kan stepped onto the Red Rabbit Horse and rushed out of the city like lightning.

I saw him with a red collar on his head and a fiery battle robe slashing his body.

The two-dang armor made of iron lined with a belt around the waist, a red flag in the palm, and a shining light. The handle of the red flag is wrapped in red silk thread to prevent the palms from sweating and slipping. On the tiger's head chisel, the red tassels flutter, as if a ball of flame was burning.

The red rabbit and the wind beast under the crotch are hissing, and the sound is long and hissing.

Xiang Ji couldn't help but frown slightly. He never thought that this guy was such a good horse?

The black horse under his crotch was also a Dayuan horse that was one out of thousands. But Liu Kan's red rabbit horse was not weaker than his black horse. Looking at that weapon, I have never seen it. Anyone who uses such strange weapons must have unusual tricks and needs to be cautious.

Liu Kan and Xiang Ji each held their war horses in front of the formation and looked at each other.

"That man, how dare you bet with me?"

Liu Kan was stunned, "What's the gambling fight?"

"If I lose, I will not offend you, every grass and every tree in the Lou Cang, and immediately withdraw my troops; if you lose, I will give up the Lou Cang, and I will never make things difficult for you.

I wonder if you are a real hero, but you dare to make a bet with me?"

Liu Kan looked at Xiang Ji as if he was looking at a monster. After a while, he suddenly laughed, "Xiang Yu, you are also a person who leads troops to fight, and you actually say such childish words? You are a Chu person, and I am a general of Qin. You and me have long been dead. What's the point of fighting?

Xiang Yu, do you regard this marching and war as a game for children?

Let’s not talk about anything else. If you don’t have to replenish my supplies, how can I conquer the city and land? If I lose my house, wouldn’t I be surrendered?

I thought you were some of a character who had been killed all the way. But I didn’t know that I would say such children’s words, which really made me laugh!”

Xiang Ji was blushed when he was told, and his heart was even more furious.

"Liu Kan thief, I respect you as a character. I bet with you. I didn't expect you to be ungrateful. It's really hateful. It's so annoying... Liu Kan, come with your life!"

Xiang Ji was so angry that he urged his horse to rush towards Liu Kan.

Liu Kan put on two stirrups and knocked the little belly of the red rabbit horse. He heard the red rabbit neighing and rushed towards Xiang Yu. He said this. At that time, the two horses were BMW horses that were not even one in a thousand. After they met in an instant, Xiang Ji's big halberd straps with a jade belt around his waist and rolled towards Liu Kan. Liu Kan was not showing weakness. The red flag rolled out in his hand, and a clang sound, the flag and halberd attacked, and the sound was crisp and pleasant.

This guy's strength has been much stronger than Zhuluo Mountain!

As soon as Liu Kanfu fought, he knew that Xiang Yu was comparable to him in terms of strength. He didn't hesitate at the moment. When the two horses were wrong, he suddenly slashed with a slash. Xiang Ji was quick in his eyes and quick in his hands. He was in a stance with Su Qin's sword on his back, and turned his dragon halberd and shouted, and he carried his shoulders across and opened the red flag with a clang.

This man was in a fight, and the horse was unwilling to show weakness.

Whether it is the Red Rabbit Necking Beast or the Black Horse, they are all arrogant people. Who can allow the other party to be arrogant and domineering in front of him? Liu Kan and Xiang Yu confront each other on the horse, and these two war horses are also making small moves, kicking, biting, and sweeping... For a moment, the battle on this battlefield was hard to tell, and there was no victory or defeat.

The people watching the battle on both sides were only dazzled.

On the top of the city, Shusun Tong shouted loudly: "Beat the drum and cheer for the Lord!"

Hundreds of war drums were rumbling. At the sound of drums in the main city, the war drums on the forts on both sides also rang. The Chu army shook flags and shouted, constantly cheering Xiang Yu with collision weapons. The sound of war drums and shouts echoed on the battlefield, making people's blood boil... Unconsciously, the two had been fighting for more than a hundred rounds, and the sky gradually dimmed, and the bright moon was in the sky.

Xiang Yu was in a hurry to fight, jumped out of the circle, shouting sternly: "Liu Kan, do you dare to fight at night?"

Liu Kan smiled and said, "What's the matter!"

As they were talking, pine oil torches lit up in the city tower and the battle formation, illuminating the battlefield. Liu Kan and Xiang Yu fought again, and this time both sides were competing. Liu Kan's red flag danced faster and faster, and a slash of arcs slashed towards Xiang Yu; and Xiang Yu's hand danced the dragon halberd more and more urgently, chopping, thorning, hooking, slicing, knocking, exploring, hanging, and robbing, and hidden murderous intent.

After fighting for more than a hundred rounds, Xiang Yu couldn't hold on anymore!

The reason is very simple. When he fights, he must clamp the war horse with his legs to sit and exert force; while the Red Rabbit Horse is equipped with double stirrups, Liu Kan has the advantage. Especially in the end, the strength of Liu Kan's red flag is getting stronger and stronger.

Why is this guy so fierce?

Xiang Ji thought he was brave enough, but he didn't expect that when he met such a person who was more fierce than him, his tricks gradually became scattered.

At this moment, a general in the Chu army quietly took out the bow and arrow under the flag gate.

On the battlefield, Liu Kan and Xiang Yu were just passing by. Just as they were about to turn the horse's head and fight again, they heard a sound of a bowstring and a strong wind came from behind. He subconsciously flashed sideways, but the arrow was so fast that it suddenly hit Liu Kan's shoulder.

"ah!"

Liu Kan couldn't help but scream and urged the horse to leave.

But Xiang Ji was a little puzzled. He had not figured out where that sharp arrow came from.
To be continued...
