Chapter 439 The curtain call of Yingbu

The rising sun rose in the east, and on the road from Chen County to Nanyang County, hundreds of Chu cavalry advanced forward like wind and clouds. The Chu cavalry was already full of dust, and at a glance they knew they were coming day and night. In order to increase their speed as much as possible, they didn't even send a ranger to explore the horses and marched swaggeringly within the enemy's territory.

Tie Niu took the lead in running at the front of the team. Although the Qi army was defeated in Huainan and the entire country's troops were almost exhausted, Tie Niu still did not dare to take it lightly because he was responsible for the safety of the general on his shoulders. His mission and the three hundred cavalry were to safely escort Bi Shu to Nanyang.

"Wow..." Tienniu slowed down his horse slightly, and after Bi Shu caught up, he wiped the sweat stains on his forehead and said, "General, you haven't closed your eyes for two days and two nights. Are you resting in front?"

"No!" Bi Shu said without hesitation, "The horse needs to be replaced, but the person cannot rest."

"Here!" Tie Niu responded with a loud noise, turned his head and shouted, "The general has an order. No horses should be replaced. Everyone should change horses, eat, and continue to move forward..." With the order, three hundred light cavalry changed to backup mounts, and then took out the fried noodles from the canvas bag behind the saddle and ate them on the horse's back with the cold water in the kettle.

#############

When Bi Shu traveled day and night to Nanyang, Ying Bu also ushered in his curtain call.

After the Qi Huai coalition was defeated by Bi Shu, Ying Bu did not even dare to escape back to Pengcheng. Instead, he hurriedly gathered hundreds of remaining soldiers and fled to Xiang County. After fleeing to Xiang County, Ying Bu suddenly realized that although the world was big, he had no way to go. He was discouraged and Ying Bu stopped running away. While gathering the remaining soldiers in Xiang County, he was waiting for the final battle to end.

Just one day later, the Chu army followed, and it was the most elite Hu Ben Army in Chu!

This time, the Hu Ben Army did not remove its heavy armor again. Jin Xiang also wore the sparkling golden armor back, and rode on a fiery red horse, looking majestic.

Xiang County is just a small county, and although it has a city wall, it is only two feet high.

Jin Xiang lifted his long sword upside down, rode a horse, and rode alone under the city gate. Then he looked up slightly, looked at Ying Bu who was standing on the top of the city, and bowed, "King of Huainan."

No matter what, Ying Bu was once a famous anti-Qin hero in the world, and also a very famous general at the end of Qin. As a true general, Jin Xiang still admired Ying Bu in his heart. Although both sides would have to have a life-and-death relationship later, this did not prevent Jin Xiang from expressing his respect to Ying Bu at all.

Yingbu smiled sadly, bowed and said, "General Jin Xiang."

Jin Xiang held back the reins of the horse. He controlled the restless war horse under his crotch, but for a moment he couldn't find anything to comfort the hero who was at the end of the city, because no matter what he said to Ying Bu at this time, it seemed so inappropriate, unless Jin Xiang turned around and left with the Hu Ben Army. But is this possible?

On the contrary, Ying Bu smiled generously and said, "General Jin Xiang, let's start."

Jin Xiang nodded and bowed again, "King of Huainan, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Ying Bu waved his hand and said lightly: "I have been fighting for life and killed people without counting. But I have never asked what regrets the enemy who died under my sword. Therefore, General Jin Xiang doesn't have to do this again."

"King of Huainan, I will make you die like a real military general!" Jin Xiang focused heavily and then headed straight for the first formation.

The next moment, a low and loud trumpet sounded outside the city. Amid the endless trumpet sounds, teams of tigers and men carried the temporary long ladder. They stepped on neat steps, like a solid wall made of fine iron. They slowly crushed towards the city wall of Xiang County East City, and at the forefront of the Hu Ben Army was Jin Xiang who was dismounting and walking.

Siege cities and villages is a purely infantry battle, and war horses have no place to use their skills.

Jin Xiang held up his sword and stride forward. He didn't even shout slogans. In fact, for a truly elite of war in the Hu Ben Army, any slogan is unnecessary. Moreover, with the general of Jin Xiang as the leader, this can inspire the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers more than any slogan.

Behind Jin Xiang, the Tiger Army advanced like a wall, with aura.

At the head of Xiangxian County, the Huainan Army was a different scene. Ying Bu was in a desperate situation, but the remnants gathered by him were also sad and angry. At this time, the people who were still able to follow Ying Bu were naturally those loyal ministers and dead soldiers who were loyal to Ying Bu. In this battle, they had already had the ambition to die.

Amid the suffocating footsteps, the Hu Ben Army, advancing like a wall, entered the range of bows and arrows. A sparse rain of arrows poured down from the city, but only a slight ripples appeared in the formation of the Hu Ben Army, which was not enough to stop the Hu Ben Army's advance...

One hundred steps, fifty steps, thirty steps!

When the city wall was less than ten steps away, General Jin Xiang led his sword forward with force. The tiger-bearing soldiers behind him immediately rushed forward. Long ladders with a length of more than three meters leaned against the basins at the top of the city. In the next moment, teams of tiger-bearing light soldiers who had removed their heavy armor had already used their hands and feet and climbed up.

Almost at the same time, the rolling wood and rocks and gold juice fell from the city wall like rain.

The tiger and the sharp men are all veterans who have experienced many battles. The wooden rocks that fell from the city were either picked up by them with a knife or knocked away by them easily. However, the hot pot of gold juice made them really embarrassed. The so-called gold juice is actually boiled feces, but the stench is enough to be smelling.

"Uh..." The two tiger soldiers could not dodge and were poured into hot gold juice. They screamed and fell down from the long ladder. They barely landed on the ground. Before the robes could come forward to rescue them, a few rolling wood and seven or eight stones had already fallen from the city like rain, and they directly smashed them into meat paste.

A tiger-bearing sharp man finally grabbed the head of the city. However, before he could gain a foothold, a Huai Army Sima had already roared and bumped into it. While the tiger-bearing sharp man's ring-headed knife stabbed into the chest of the Huai Army Sima, the Huai Army Sima also used his powerful inertia to knock the tiger-bearing sharp man head-headed off the head of the city.

The same tragic scenes were repeated around the city, and the battle situation was unprecedentedly fierce.

The remnants of Huainan fought back at the death, but instead secretly matched the exquisite military strategy of the loathing soldiers' victory. For a moment, the three armies used their lives to block the attack of the Hu Ben Army with the not-too-high earthen city wall. The Hu Ben Army organized several attacks, but failed, but instead lost hundreds of people.

Under the city wall, Jin Xiang's brows frowned suddenly, and the tenacity of the remaining soldiers in Huainan was a little beyond his expectations.

On the top of the city, Ying Bu killed a captain Hu Ben who was snatching the city. On the spot, he kicked the corpse of Captain Hu Ben down the city. But the next moment, Ying Bu knelt on one knee weakly on the top of the city. The knife before his death also opened a deep blood groove under Ying Bu's left ribs.

"King?"

"King?!"

More than a dozen imperial guards rushed forward in an instant and tried to support Yingbu, but were stopped by his hands.

Ying Bu reached out to stop the imperial guards who were trying to come forward to support him, then gritted his teeth and stood up, lowered his head and looked at his left rib, and a trace of sadness flashed through his eyes. He was old. After all, he was old. I remember that when he was still young, he could kill such a person just now with just one knife, so how could he let him get close to him?

He reached out and touched the wound on his left rib. His hands were covered in blood, but the decisive intention in Yingbu's eyes became even stronger.

The next moment, Ying Bu suddenly raised his sword and shouted loudly: "The warriors of Huainan Kingdom, even if they die today, they will die like men. Kill..."

"Kill and kill..." The remaining more than a thousand remaining soldiers roared with swords and their morale was as bright as a rainbow.

Under the city wall, a cold and suffocating cold light suddenly burst out in Jin Xiang's eyes. The next moment, his figure, which grew up like an iron tower, grabbed the city wall in just two steps. Then he held a knife with his right hand and climbed the long ladder with his left hand. The whole figure pulled up more than a foot, barely snatching up to half the height of the city wall.

"Huhuhuhu..." Two rolling woods and three beating stones hit Jin Xiang's head almost at the same time.

Jin Xiang smiled coldly. He swung his right horizontal knife like lightning, and a knife hit the waist of the first rolling wood. The rolling wood suddenly buzzed and hit the earth city wall, and then bounced upside down in the smoke and dust. While knocking away another rolling wood, he also swept the three rocks smashed from behind to the side.

More than a dozen Huainan soldiers on the top of the city quickly brought two large pots of boiling golden juice. Just as they were about to pour down, Jin Xiang pushed the long ladder under his feet with both feet. While the long ladder was shattered, the tower-like figure had already risen into the air again. When Jin Xiang's momentum was too strong to fall, he had already stepped onto the battlements on the top of the city.

"Swoosh swish swish swish..." Six or seven long halberds came almost at the same time.

Jin Xiang shouted loudly, and the horizontal knife in his hand slashed across all directions with one force. Six or seven long halberds immediately broke.

The next moment, a figure like a tower in Jinxiang smashed heavily from the pile. A Huai Army captain could not hide in time and was directly pressed under him and died tragically on the spot.

"Jin Xiang?" Not far away, Ying Bu's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

"King, protect the king!" The nearby Huai Army soldiers rushed forward in an instant, trying to block the middle of Yingbu and Jinxiang. However, Jinxiang did not give the Huai Army soldiers such an opportunity at all. They suddenly exerted force, and the tower-like figure rose into the air again. When he fell to the ground again, he was already standing in front of Yingbu.

"King of Huainan, it's over!" Jin Xiang's eyes were cold and he slashed out with a knife.

Ying Bu tried hard to block it, but it was too late. The previous fight had already caused his sperm to be exhausted. His body, which was nearly 60 years old, could not compete with the young man. Suddenly, Ying Bu felt his body lightening suddenly, and then the whole person floated up gently, and then the whole world began to roll violently.

In a vague way, Ying Bu seemed to hear Jin Xiang's voice in his ears: "King of Huainan, I said that you will die like a real military general. A real military general should die on the battlefield..."

ps: Another hero in the early Han Dynasty has ended. The swordsman is in a heavy mood. To be honest, this chapter is not well written. At least the swordsman himself is not satisfied and feels that he has not written the mood of Yingbu hero when he was at the end of his journey. However, he had a fight with his wife in the morning and his mood was affected. He can't delay it too late, otherwise everyone will scold the swordsman again. In short, everyone will just watch it, alas... (Your support from Mingshu Academy is my greatest motivation.
