Chapter 117 Forge ahead
After Xiang Yu's attack was blocked in the morning, he didn't intend to stop the attack. He would continue to launch a fierce attack in the afternoon, but the increasingly dense dark clouds above his head did cause Xiang Yu some worries. If there was a sudden heavy rain in the afternoon, It will definitely have a great impact on the offensive side of Xiang Yu. The slope itself is not very easy to attack. If there is another heavy rain, it will be very difficult for soldiers to stand firm on the heavy rain and muddy ground. , let alone charge forward.

Therefore, Xiang Yu can only hope that the heavy rain will not fall so quickly. If he seizes the time, he should still have a chance to attack the top of the slope before the heavy rain falls. He only needs to occupy a part of the top of the slope to use this As a springboard for more soldiers to attack, as long as Xiang Yu leads an elite army to gain a firm foothold there, his personal combat ability can be brought into play, serving as the sharpest point of a knife for the troops behind.

Thinking about the hard fight in the afternoon, Xiang Yu, who had no appetite, still managed to eat some food. His body consumption in battle was much greater than that of ordinary soldiers, so in fact, Xiang Yu's appetite was greater than these ordinary soldiers. Quite a few, even though his appetite was poor at this time, he still ate nearly twice as much food as an ordinary soldier.

After lunch, Xiang Yu rested for a while, and used this time to personally select a group of the most elite soldiers. Later, he would personally lead these elite soldiers to the front to open the way for the large troops behind.

Amidst the deafening drums, Xiang Yu led the army to attack again. In fact, compared to the morning, the morale of the troops led by Xiang Yu has dropped a lot. In the morning, he charged with vigor, As a result, they were stopped by the defenders many times. In the afternoon, the soldiers were tired after eating and should take some rest, but because of the dark clouds overhead, there was not so much time for the soldiers to rest, so You can only continue to attack in a relatively tired state.

So in fact, even if Xiang Yu personally leads the elite troops to charge forward, the offensive efficiency of the entire army will still be worse than in the morning. Some problems that they couldn't solve in the morning still can't be solved, such as The solution that Xiang Yu can think of to solve the problem of slipping under his feet is nothing more than asking soldiers to tie a layer of cloth on the soles to increase friction and grip, making it easier to climb slopes, but the help this method can provide is still relatively small. It was limited, and Xiang Yu's army could not find so much extra cloth to tie the soles of each soldier's shoes.

Another way is to take off the shoes directly and climb barefoot, because sometimes the grip of the shoes will be greatly reduced due to wear and tear. At this time, taking off the shoes can better stabilize the slope, but this method The limitations are also very large. First of all, barefoot completely loses the protection of the feet. If you step on the gravel and scratch the soles of your feet if you are not careful, in this era of very limited medical care, sometimes just scratching the soles of your feet is enough. It may lead to death of soldiers infected.

But now it seems that there is no better way. Regardless of the shortcomings of these two methods, it is enough to have a certain effect. After another wave of charges, Xiang Yu and the elite infantry led by him have already It was very close to the top of the slope, but at this time Xiang Yu also felt raindrops falling from the sky.

Although it is only a few small raindrops now, it also means that time is getting more and more urgent. Xiang Yu roared and exerted force on his feet, and he rushed forward alone with a thunder gun and a big shield. Seeing Xiang Yu rushing towards him, the enemies at the top aimed their bows and rolling stones at him, and greeted him. Xiang Yu blocked the incoming bows and crossbows with the shield in his hand, while moving horizontally from side to side while sprinting upwards, deftly Dodge the incoming rolling stones and logs.

However, although Xiang Yu managed to avoid these attacks by relying on his amazing strength and a little bit of luck, it is impossible for the elite infantry behind him to have his strength and luck, and many of them were killed Move, screaming and falling down.

Xiang Yu didn't care too much, and rushed up to the top of the slope as soon as he gritted his teeth. The surrounding soldiers saw that Xiang Yu was alone, so they wanted to rush up and besiege him. At this time, Xiang Yu threw away the big shield in his hand and waved his hands The thunder gun, with a round of sweeping thousands of troops, knocked down the few enemies who rushed to the front.

Xiang Yu didn't wait for these enemies to get up, stabbing them all to death in a row, the speed was so fast that before the enemies behind rushed to Xiang Yu, he completed this series of actions, and then continued to fight with Xin The enemies who arrived fought fiercely.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky could no longer bear the water vapor inside, large raindrops poured down with a bang of thunder, and the elite infantrymen behind Xiang Yu gradually climbed up during the time Xiang Yu fought for them. But at this time, except for a small number of them, most of Xiang Yu's troops are still struggling up the long slope.

And with such a heavy rain falling, those soldiers who had difficulty standing on the slope fell into a state of difficulty even more, but Xiang Yu didn't intend to give up at this point, he didn't care about the crazy blows that fell on him The raindrops roared and rushed into the enemy's formation, allowing countless enemies to surround him, and he seemed to have completely opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, constantly harvesting with unimaginable speed and combat skills the lives of the soldiers around them.

Seeing Xiang Yu's bravery, the morale of the elite infantry behind Xiang Yu was also greatly boosted at this time. They quickly formed a battle formation with each other, handing each other's shoulders and backs to each other. With the addition, their combat power doubled, no matter how many soldiers came around, they would be quickly repelled by them.

If a soldier fell down in the battle formation, other soldiers would immediately follow up to fill his position, and the entire battle formation was killed in an orderly manner under Xiang Yu's command and leadership.

Beigong Boyu saw Xiang Yu and his small elite troops attacking towards him in the distance. He thought that Tiangong was helping him, and this heavy rain could stop Xiang Yu's attack. It was so terrifying, looking at Xiang Yu's figure in the rain, his feet trembled unconsciously in fright.

At this time, he quickly summoned all the generals under his command, and told them to go together and besiege Xiang Yu together while Xiang Yu's large army did not come up, and they must kill him!
