Chapter 55
The first batch of soldiers of the Chu army crossed the river very smoothly. Except for one unlucky guy who fell into the water unfortunately, but he was quickly picked up again. Apart from this, there were no other accidents.

After the army was assembled on the bank, Xiang Yu was standing silently in the front position among more than a thousand soldiers of the Chu army, like a pottery figurine.

"Brother Yu, what are you worried about?" Looking at Xiang Yu's frown, Chen Luo couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Looking back at the second batch of Chu troops who were about to complete the crossing, Xiang Yu said in a deep voice, "I'm wondering when they will do it."

"Who? Is there an army of Qin ambushing?" Chen Luo said with a serious expression, remembering what Xiang Yu said before crossing the river.

"Yeah." Xiang Yu looked at the hill not far away, "I sent out five scouts just now, and asked them to find out the radius of three or four miles before they could come back, and now two quarters of an hour have passed, but none of them has come back."

Chen Luo instantly understood where Xiang Yu's worries came from.

Taking a deep breath, he pursed his lips and said, "Let's retreat next... But it seems too late."

As soon as this proposal was uttered, it was rejected by himself.

Now the group of soldiers crossing the river needs to turn around, and then transport my group back, it will take more than half an hour.

If Qin Jun was really on the side, then they couldn't just watch in vain.

It's just that there are only more than a thousand soldiers around him now, so it really can't provide Chen Luo with any sense of security.

"When will the opponent attack?" Chen Luo asked solemnly.

"It's probably coming soon." Xiang Yu said his judgment, "If the opponent thinks he has the strength to engulf more of us, he will do it when the third wave of soldiers arrives. If they..."

Before he finished speaking, countless soldiers of the Qin army emerged from behind the small hill that was not so tall.

A jet-black banner was raised high, with the word "Qin" embroidered in the middle of it.

"Wind! Strong wind!" The passionate battle roar came from the majestic Qin opera, which was no different from the momentum of their ancestors when they swept the six kingdoms. For a while, it even faintly covered the sound of the rushing waves of the river.

"Enemy attack!" The orderly standing in the front row yelled in panic, but he did not forget to wave the order flag in his hand.

But no need to remind, everyone can see the Qin army in the distance like a black tide. They rush down from the hills, seeming to swallow everything, leaving only bones, just like what the Qin army did to the armies of the six countries during the Warring States Period for 200 years.

Xiang Yu glanced back, those ferries had just arrived at the shore, but they were a little confused after they landed in an instant, and even crowded the rear of the originally neat army formation on the shore.

Seeing this, he said to the herald next to him: "Let the new soldiers go ashore in an orderly manner, and wait for Chen Zuoyin to go to reorganize the army, and then let them quickly bring their eighty horses forward."

After giving the order to the herald, Xiang Yu turned his head and said with a sneer: "It seems that the other party is impatient, and he is satisfied with eating only 2000 of us.

But they obviously didn't expect that we are not so easy to swallow, not only will they hurt their teeth, but they will also completely collapse their teeth.

Jiang Ning, after I lead the charge first, you organize the soldiers who just landed, and then organize the charge. "

At this time, the Qin army was steadily maintaining the formation and pressing forward, and did not pursue a rapid charge. It probably wanted to put enough pressure on the Chu army and let the Chu army mess up first.

It's just that these soldiers of the Chu army are all children of Wuzhong, and they have experienced no less than ten wars, big and small, so they can be called veterans.

What's more, they knew that Xiang Yu was sitting in the formation.

Therefore, even though some people turned slightly pale, they still stood in place and did not flee in a hurry.

Chen Luo nodded solemnly: "Brother Yu, don't worry, I will finish the army as soon as possible and lead them to come to support."

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and a little delay may lead to a completely different battle situation.

Now visually, the Qin army is three or four miles away from our own side, and the speed is not fast. If I can lead the thousand soldiers behind in a quarter of an hour, I can join the battle together and provide enough support for Xiang Yu.

After speaking, he quickly dismounted and left the horse for the other soldiers, so that Xiang Yu could increase his power when he led the charge, even if it was only a little more.

Gritting his teeth, Chen Luo turned around and ran back quickly.

Not long after Chen Luo left, the eighty horses brought by the second batch of crossing the river were brought forward.

"Follow me on the horse and charge, and the pawns will follow!" Xiang Yu roared after taking a deep breath. The voice of the former boy had become hoarse, but it had changed because of shouting again and again on the battlefield.

Chu Jun was originally a dull puppet, but after hearing Xiang Yu's command, he was instantly endowed with a soul.

The soldiers equipped with war horses stepped on their mounts one after another and gathered beside Xiang Yu, while the rest were infantry, also trotting with firm eyes to maintain the formation and keep up with Xiang Yu's moving direction.

This is the cohesion gained by Xiang Yu's preferential treatment of soldiers.

Seeing the orderly formation of the army, Xiang Yu clenched the Molin halberd in his hand and shouted: "Chu army will charge with me! Qin Qin will perish!"

"Destroy Qin! Destroy Qin! Destroy Qin!" Chu soldiers followed Xiang Yu's pace without hesitation.

……

Seeing the Chu army charging forward, whose number was less than one-tenth of his own, the general of the Qin army wanted to laugh out loud.

He laughed and said: "These barbarians from the state of Chu dare to shout and come forward in the face of an enemy ten times their size, just like ants wanting to move Mount Tai or people of Song wanting to break through Hangu Pass.

I really don't know whether to praise their courage or ridicule their ignorance. "

It's just that after saying this, there was no one around to answer. He was the one who missed the deputy general who had just been transferred to command the left army.

If you don't even have someone to brag about yourself, it's too boring.

However, such emotions were taken away in an instant, and he stared sharply at Xiang Yu, who was at the forefront of the Chu army.

He murmured in his heart: "The Chu army actually has more than a hundred cavalry? This is beyond my expectation. But just a few hundred cavalry, what role can it play? It's just a mantis arm as a cart, which is useless."

The general of the Qin army immediately issued an order: "The Chinese army obeys the order and shoots a round!"

He was commanding based on his previous experience in leading troops in combat, completely unaware that he had made a huge mistake.

Following his instruction, the archers at the rear of the Chinese army slowly stopped, and began to bend their bows and set arrows, ready to shoot a volley.

The longbows in their hands have an effective range of about 200 meters. After all, they don't pursue precision after shooting the arrows, but use the inertia to fall to cover a larger area as much as possible.

But Xiang Yu, who was on horseback, saw Qin Jun's intention to shoot arrows, so he immediately decided to change direction and led the cavalry behind him to charge towards Qin Jun's left flank.

This directly disrupted the rhythm of Qin Jun's archers.

After a while, the horse neighed, and the weapons collided with each other.

 Thank you Murong Qi for a monthly pass!
