I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 56 Red Armor
When the Qin army came out, the group of Chu troops who were still lingering on the other side of the river were all dumbfounded.

There will be ambushes!

Generals like Long Qi, Zhong Limei, and Xiang Sheng, who knew the soldiers, suddenly realized the more fatal point, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on the forehead.

The second batch of Chu troops who crossed the river had just landed, and the formation was not yet formed. The Qin army chose to fight out at this time, but attacked halfway across the river.

In history, Song Xianggong, who chose to give up halfway and fight, and tried to fight with dignity, was recorded in the annals of history, making posterity laugh at him for thousands of years.

This is enough to show that hitting halfway can produce a huge advantage, allowing an army that was originally at a disadvantage to defeat an enemy far stronger than itself.

What's more, on the other side at this time, the Qin army is even more numerous. From a distance, they form a dark tide.

In comparison, the Chu army on the other side of the river seemed so insignificant.

"We must support cousin quickly." Xiang Sheng's tone was anxious. Now the hope of Xiang's revival was completely pinned on Xiang Yu. If Xiang Yu died here, they would have no way to gain a foothold in the court.

Long Qi shook his head: "The ferry is still on the other side. The big river is so fast, can't we swim across it? Even if we Chu people are good at water and can cross the big river, what about the weapons and armor?"

Xiang Sheng was silent.

On the other hand, Zhongli Mo's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Yes, the ferry has only left the shore now, if General Xiang calls him back, he and Chen Zuoyin can lead some soldiers back by boat."

What he said really inspired everyone's thinking.

If Xiang Yu called back the ferryboat on the big river, even if chaos broke out in the team and they scrambled for the ferryboat, a small number of people would definitely be able to come back in the end.

Even if more than a thousand elite soldiers are lost on the other side, it will have a big blow to the morale of the entire army, as long as Xiang Yu is safe.

After all, compared with the death of the main general in the first battle, at least the former is still acceptable.

After a short meeting, Xiang Sheng asked suspiciously: "If I see it right, it must be that Chen Zuoyin is reorganizing the army, but why didn't they call the ferry back? Could it be that they didn't think of it?"

There is a big river in the middle, they can only see a blurred picture, and they don't know the specific situation there.

But what gave them some comfort was that the Chu army on the other side was only in a commotion the moment the Qin army appeared, but the commotion did not expand into a turmoil.

It's just that the cruise ship on the big river is getting closer and closer to them, which really makes people anxious.

But they didn't worry for too long, and their faces turned into shock.

His mind went blank for a while, and Xiang Sheng asked tremblingly, "They...do they think there is no hope, and plan to rush to die?"

The first batch of Chu troops on the opposite bank started to move, but they didn't meet Xiang Sheng's expectations and headed towards the ferry boat on the river. On the contrary, they charged at the Qin army without hesitation.

And the one rushing to the front was Xiang Yu.

The reason why they can recognize it at a glance is mainly because the armor Xiang Yu is wearing is the most special, specially painted red.

"Impossible." Long Qi was also stunned, "Is there any chance of winning when 1000 people charge against nearly 2 people?"

Zhong Limo said calmly, "Now we can only choose to trust General Xiang. It's not like we didn't fight the battle of winning more with less when we were in Huaiyang County."

It's just that on the surface he seems calm, but in fact he doesn't have enough confidence.

Even if he mentioned the past examples of winning more with less, it was just to appease his companions, after all, he knew that the situation at that time was different from now.

In Huaiyang County, when they defeated Wang Li's more than [-] Qin army, they had at least [-] soldiers under their command, and the difference in the number of the two armies was only five times.

When the magnitude is larger, the advantage brought by the number of soldiers is no longer absolute.

For example, there will never be a Kunyang War in history. Liu Xiu led less than 2 people and killed 42 soldiers of the Bengwang Mang army;

Cases like this abound. When the large armies are fighting, the commanding ability of the generals on both sides and the vision of grasping the opportunity are even more tested.

But now the number of the two armies on the other side of the river differs by more than ten times, and the order of magnitude of the soldiers does not seem to have reached the limit where the difference in generals can lead to a comeback.

After all, when there is no difference in equipment, let three people fight fifty people, even if the command cooperates to win the opponent, the possibility of winning will not be higher than the probability of picking up a stone from the side of the road and finding it to be Heshibi.

……

At this moment.

The cavalry of the Chu army was already like a sharp sword, stabbing fiercely into the left flank of the Qin army.

Xiang Yu, who was at the front, waved his Molin halberd and swept towards the soldiers of Qin who were bearing the brunt. With the huge inertia of the galloping horse and the weight of the halberd itself, there were gusts of wind.

In many novels, the generals will use majestic-sounding weapons such as broadswords and swords.

But in history, very few people would use these with war horses for only one reason, that is, it is not practical.

On horseback, long weapons are more advantageous than short ones, and blunt weapons are more powerful than sharp ones. Therefore, cavalry only use lances and long halberds. If they use short weapons, they also use whips and maces.

And the soldier who was struck by the halberd in Xiang Yu's hand, even though he was wearing armor, made a muffled sound the moment he was hit, and flew out backwards with broken ribs.

Xiang Yu also didn't care about the other Qin soldiers who tried to stop him, and waved his halberd again.

He has only one goal, and that is where the Qin Army's left-wing general flag is!

The halberd swung and slammed into anyone who tried to block it, easily reaping the lives of the enemy on the battlefield.

From time to time, blood and strange colorful liquids splashed up and fell on Xiang Yu's armor, making some parts of his red armor darker, or stained with other colors.

When he insisted on dyeing the armor red, Yu Ji was worried that if he was injured and needed help, others would not be able to judge the location of his injury well through the bloodstains.

But he laughed and said confidently: "Is there really anyone who can hurt me on the battlefield? If my 'red armor' is stained with blood, then it can only come from the enemy's wound."

With Xiang Yu opening the way, the charge of the remaining 150 nine cavalry became extremely smooth.

They forcibly tore open a hole in Qin Jun's formation, got into it, and kept advancing!
ten meters.

20 m.

……

40 m.

……

100 meters!

When he raised his head again, the flag of the Qin army was only ten steps away from them, and there were very few Qin soldiers around who dared to step forward.

Even Xiang Yu and the Qin general sitting on the frame looked at each other for a moment, and read the panic in the other's eyes.

However, he remained expressionless, and continued to wave the Molin halberd in his hand, and continued to drive the horse forward indifferently.
