Chapter 313
Xiang Yu stretched out his hand and gently held Yu Ji's cold little hand and smiled, "It's okay, it's just a mosquito bite." As he spoke, he let go of Yu Ji's hand and pulled it on his shoulder. The feather arrow inserted on his shoulder was pulled out by Xiang Yu.
Yu Ji immediately took out the knife wound medicine that had been prepared long ago, sprinkled it on Xiang Yu, tore off a group of pink corners, and bandaged it on Xiang Yu's shoulder.
At this time, the Chu army generals had already sent Xiang Yu and others onto the ferry. The generals who controlled the boat immediately drove the boat and headed towards the opposite side of the Zhang River. On the shore, Zhang Liang, the strategist, was also cruel and did not board the boat and led the Chu army to resist.
Although they were under the bows and arrows of the Qin soldiers, many casualties were killed or injured, in the end, a large number of people followed Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng to cross the Zhang River.
Only the last Chu army, led by a Chu army lieutenant, sent Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng to the last boat, and then rushed towards Li Jian's crossbow army frantically.
At this time, Han Xin's large group of troops had arrived. Facing the remaining Chu army, the Qin army's cavalry charged and all of them were harvested.
Looking at the Chu army crossing the Zhangshui River, Han Xin did not rush to cross the river to pursue him, but shouted to Xiang Yu opposite: "The style of King Xiang is still the same. Han Xin, the young master of the former tent, is polite."
7ding7diǎn7 Xiao 7 said, 23.o Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, stood by the Zhangshui River, watching Zhang Liang and the others crossing the river with arrows, and finally relaxed on their cold faces. Hearing Han Xin's shout, Xiang Yu frowned. He really didn't remember who Han Xin was and didn't talk to him.
When Zhang Liang and the others crossed the Zhang River, some soldiers stayed on the boat forever. The Qin Dynasty's crossbows were powerful. Even if they got on the boat, they could not escape the final killing disaster.
Fortunately, Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng were not injured and were escorted by the soldiers and arrived in front of Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder for the first time and said in a deep voice: "It is a death sentence for private hiding the boat. Today, it depends on your ability to dispatch it. And finally, the merits and demerits on board the boat will be offset, so I will not be investigated."
Fan Zeng frowned slightly, and his heart became stronger when he left.
Zhang Liang felt chills in his heart. He had long expected that Xiang Yu would catch him and speak in disrespectful ways, so he fought to resist Li Jian's crossbowman while crossing the river, and insisted on the last one to board the ship. Unexpectedly, this was the case, and he did not get Xiang Yu's praise, but just a merit and demerit.
A sad feeling arose naturally. He and Fan Zeng looked at each other, and their mood was self-evident.
"King, we have crossed the Zhang River. We should evacuate as soon as possible before the Qin army crossed the river, and return to the Pengcheng camp." Zhang Liang held back his heart and said.
Xiang Yu diǎndiǎndiǎn's head. Zhang Liang's words are right. Pengcheng is his hometown. Only by going back and resting can you make a comeback.
"You and Yafu led the army to retreat first, and I took eight thousand children to cut off the rear. If the Qin army crossed the river, I will attack it." Xiang Yu said.
Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng asked their heads, and Xiang Yu always said that. Now he saw his blood-red eyes. He knew that if he didn't ask Han Xin to fight back, he would be frustrated to death.
The remnants of the Chu army did not care about burying the pot and making rice. Under the leadership of Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng, the army was not allowed to harass the people again. But these Chu soldiers were so hungry that they didn't care about military orders.
It only made the people in the place where they passed by. The people were resentful. It actually shocked several powerful people in the fields and used hoes and other farm tools to fight against the Chu army everywhere, making it difficult for the retreating Chu army to move forward.
Yu Ziqi was still the pioneer, Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng followed closely, looking forward to returning to Pengcheng. However, they did not expect that wherever they passed, those cities that had been conquered repeatedly, and they were loyal to the Qin Dynasty. The officials and the people cooperated to harass the Chu army, leaving them nowhere to stay.
Xiang Yu was ambushed by the Zhangshui River waiting for Han Xin's army to cross the river. Unfortunately, Han Xin seemed to have expected that he would ambush on the other side of the river, and there was no movement for three days. The fourth day was even a sunny day. The warmth of early spring had just come up, and Han Xin actually ordered people to have a banquet by the Zhangshui River, and the music and singing continued to rise.
He only drooled Chu Jun, who had been hungry for three days on the other side, and thousands of drums sounded in his stomach.
Xiang Yu's irritable anger gradually subsided under the torture of the past few days. He knew that it would be unfavorable to him if he could wait any longer. He immediately ordered his eight thousand children around him to follow him to retreat quickly and chase the Yu Ziqi's army.
Han Xin sat on the other side, and the wine and food had just arrived. As soon as the generals picked up the wine bottle, they saw birds flying in groups of birds flying across the other side of the Zhangshui River. Seeing this scene, Han Xin laughed and raised his glass and said, "Generals, this banquet ends here. I owe it to you. After I ask you to drink this wine together, we will now rectify the army and quickly cross the river to pursue Xiang Yu. No delays are allowed."
After several arrangements of troops by Han Xin, the generals had long believed in him. At this moment, they obeyed the orders and drank them all in one go, and they all dispersed.
Wei Huo was promoted by Han Xin because he was facing Xiang Yu head-on in the military formation. This time, he was the vanguard of the Qin army crossing the river and led the Qin elite cavalry to quickly cross the river and pursue him.
The elite cavalry he led was standard with a portable military crossbow and a new cavalry suitable for killing the enemy's head machete immediately. The purpose was to pursue the exhausted Chu army's army and give a fatal blow.
The Qin army's boats and ships were launched together, and the entire Zhang River was blocked.
Although Xiang Yu knew that the Qin army was crossing the river at this moment, he had no choice but to wait for more than three days. Now the eight thousand elite cavalry of the Chu army had no intention of fighting. He could only watch the Qin army crossing the river and retreat in a hurry.
Wei Huo led the pioneer cavalry and crossed the other side, immediately confirmed the direction of Xiang Yu's withdrawal and pursued him wildly.
During this period, Xiang Yu turned around several times to compete with Wei Huo. Unfortunately, although he had the courage, the entire army had no fighting spirit. Every time he confronted, he was defeated by Wei Huo's Qin elite cavalry.
Especially the military crossbows equipped by the elite cavalry of the Qin Dynasty are simply the winning weapon for cavalry to fight against cavalry. Often, before the Chu army rushed over, the Qin army's crossbow arrows were shot volleys, causing heavy losses to the Chu army. Under such a blow, Xiang Yu's fighting spirit was almost disintegrated.
The Qin army behind them was ruthlessly pursuing Xiang Yu was overwhelmed.
At this time, Yu Ziqi's march ahead was not smooth.
After the scattered soldiers You Yong attacked the Chu army were suppressed and killed by Yu Ziqi, the calls for resisting the Chu army not only did not disappear, but instead tended to become increasingly fierce.
The front army was moving slowly, Xiang Yu fled quickly, and finally caught up with Yu Ziqi.
Seeing that his handsome brother's face was now full of beards, he no longer looked like a handsome Chu Jun, Yu Ji couldn't help but look sad in his eyes.
Xiang Yu and Yu Ziqi's troops were united, and they were planning to give Wei Huo a back shot to rescue Wei Huo, who was chasing him from behind, to relieve the pain of being chased by Wei Huo these days. But who knew that there was such a blessing that he would never be alone.
But at this moment, news came from Pengcheng: Li Yuan, the Marquis of Wuguan of the Great Qin Dynasty, conquered Liu Bang and the former Chu noble Mi Xin, the army advanced eastward, and now it has captured Pengcheng and is pressing towards Xiang Yu.
This news is like a bolt from the blue.
"Where will our army still have a few days to reach Chu?" Xiang Yu looked around in confusion and asked.
"Return to the Overlord, here is Gaixia. If you cross the Wujiang River in front, you can return to the old Chu land" to be continued.
