Chapter 266

Two days later, Qu County.

When Xiang Liang and others came here, they found that there were indeed no ships. Not to mention the big ships that could travel long distances, there were even small fishing boats.

After asking the people, I found out that as early as half a month ago, the Han army had gathered all the ships together and sent them to the big island opposite (now Lianyungang).

Xiang Jiajun's last retreat was also cut off.

Fortunately, they were not unprepared. Two days ago, Xiang Yu left at night.

Although there is only one person, although he is lonely and weak, being able to leave at least proves that there is still hope.

But now, the hope for this group of people has completely disappeared.

Qu County was on guard and the city gates were closed.

Although the city is not high, it is impossible and meaningless to attack the city with tens of thousands of pursuing troops.

Walk?

Where to go?

There are enemies on all sides, and when you cross over, you have the sea at your back, and there is still no way out.

At this time, Xiang Liang decided not to leave.

The soldiers were ordered to make rice in pots and have a hearty meal.

This was the first time they made a fire to cook since leaving Pengcheng.

In order to avoid exposing themselves along the way, they did not dare to light a fire. They only ate dry food prepared in Pengcheng and drank cold water.

The soldiers were well fed, and Xiang Liang stood on a carriage and looked at the more than 3,000 people under his command.

This is his last strength and the last person he can trust.

"brothers……"

When Xiang Liang stood at a high place, these soldiers consciously focused their attention on Xiang Liang.

They also realized what the current situation meant to them.

"Fan Gong made this plan for us so that Yu'er could take some of his people to leave and go south to Kuaiji. However, along the way the Han army had dense scouts and it was impossible to leave with so many people. So I let Yu'er go alone. You hate it.

Me?"

"Don't hate!"

"Swear to follow Lord Wu Xin to the death..."

"Swear to follow Lord Wu Xin to the death..."

The reaction of the soldiers made Xiang Liang feel very gratified and happy.

A general can have so many soldiers who are willing to sacrifice their lives to accompany him, what else can he be dissatisfied about?

But at this moment, Xiang Liang also decided to be willful.

"The matter has come to this, the overall situation has been decided, and Chu's demise is a foregone conclusion. We have made all the efforts that should be made, and we have also made the efforts that should not be made."

"In the past few years, we have gone from nothing to something, and from something to nothing. It can be said that we have been stumbling, with great ups and downs, with some successes and some disappointments."

"I am really lucky to be able to work with you all. In today's battle, there will be no life or death. You can follow Xiang so far. Xiang is already satisfied. Xiang is not willing to make this final decision for you, so I will

I leave the decision to you."

"If you are willing to fight, we will fight to the last man and shed the last drop of blood. If you are not willing to fight, we will wait aside. Xiang does not ask for anything else. He only asks that after the brothers die in the battle, you can take our place for everyone.

Collect the body and bury it well. If there is still a chance in the rest of my life, I can come and chat with the brothers and have a glass of wine."

"No matter what you decide today, Xiang is grateful for your service over the years, and for giving Xiang courage, strength, and confidence..."

Xiang Liang didn't call himself Lord Wu Xin anymore. He was about to die. What's the use of not being a Lord?

If nothing else, these old brothers are really awesome.

Without their assistance, the Xiang family would never have become the principals of Chu State, or even controlled the King of Chu.

If given the choice, Xiang Liang really doesn't want them to die with him.

"We will definitely follow Lord Wu Xin, live and die together, and fight to the last drop of blood!"

"We will definitely follow Lord Wu Xin, live and die together, and fight to the last drop of blood..."

The shouts of more than 3,000 people struggling could be heard even in Qu County in the distance.

No one chooses to quit, no one chooses to watch.

At this moment, they would rather accompany Xiang Liang and die together with their brothers than live in an ignoble existence and live alone.

After taking a short rest, the Han army behind them gradually appeared.

A neat and huge military formation.

The Han army did this all the way. From the moment they appeared, they formed their formation and never lost their composure.

Fortunately, it is not the busy farming season and the seeds have not been planted yet, so even if we advance with such a battle formation, it will not affect the crops.

The more than 3,000 people around Xiang Liang also formed a formation, with Xiang Liang commanding from the center. At this moment, he looked extremely calm.

And Han Xin, who was on the opposite side, couldn't help but smile after seeing Xiang Jiajun's formation, there was no way to escape, right?

The only one heading towards them was the Xiang Jiajun group, while the others who ran out scattered had already been chased.

The more than 300,000 troops abandoned in Pengcheng also surrendered a few days ago.

The nobles, generals, and the King of Chu have all fled. What are they going to do if they don't surrender?

Is it possible that he is waiting to be buried?

"Advance!" Han Xin ordered lightly while riding on his horse.

The drummer was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "General, advance them all?"

"Advance all!" Han Xin confirmed the military order.

Although the drummer had doubts, he still followed the instructions and conveyed the order.

Pushing all forward means that the six large formations composed of 30,000 people are advancing towards the 3,000 people on the opposite side. This is completely overkill.

Even if we are careful, we don’t need so many people, right?

Moreover, the battlefield is too small, how can 30,000 people spread out?

Of course, he is just a drummer. His duty is to receive the general's instructions, convey them to his subordinates, beat the drums, and tell the entire army the order.

Soon, six military formations trotted towards the opposite side.

Those photographed in the front rows are holding a shield in one hand and a halberd in the other.

Those in the back all hung their equipment on their bodies and fixed it, took out their crossbows, held the weapon in one hand, and took out arrows in the other hand, ready to shoot at any time.

Seeing this, Xiang Liang no longer asked his soldiers to wait for the Han army to attack.

Thirty thousand people, more than 20,000 arrows, and the Han army's fighting skills will definitely not kill anyone if they can.

Therefore, Xiang Liang was sure that if he did not attack, Han Xin would dare to let the army stand within the shooting range and keep shooting arrows until they were all dead.

As for losses?

Arrows can be recycled after being shot. If they hit a hard object, they can be polished and used again. If they are directly pierced into the body or in the soil, they can be wiped clean and maintained with a layer of oil on the picture.

Therefore, even if he shoots all the arrows, he doesn't have to worry about them being useless.

No matter how good the protection is, the Chu army does not have a shield. No matter how good the protection is, it is impossible for the whole body to be protected.
