My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 624 Xiong Liu, died! Dachu, die!
Even if Yang Duanhe faced first-class generals, it would be difficult for him to win a big victory.

But even when facing top generals, Yang Duanhe was not defeated!
If Qu Huan chose to hold on to the spot, he might have been able to confront Yang Duanhe here - until Wang Jian led his pursuing troops to arrive.

But when Qu Huan chose to break through at all costs.

He will only hit an iron wall!
"Turn southwest and hit it!"

After two days and one night of fierce fighting, Qu Huan still stood at the front of the flagship deck, giving orders in a hoarse voice.

The messengers beside Qu Huan also faithfully passed Qu Huan's orders to the surrounding areas through the command flags.

But when the general's order was issued, only six warships followed the command of the order flag and turned to the southwest, using their heavy hulls to hit the Qin army's small wing.

The remaining more than a thousand warships have either sunk to the bottom of the river or been controlled by the Qin army. Many more warships have asked to surrender!

Xiong Liu released his right hand, and an arrow shot out towards the side of the ship, finally piercing the eye socket of a Qin soldier.

Shaking his sore right hand, Xiong Liu drew out an arrow again and aimed it forward.

After paying such a huge price, and possibly even leaving a bad name in history, he ultimately failed one step before ascending to the throne?
How willing Xiong Liu is!

They didn't want to fight to the death, but now they had to fight to the death!
Sighing softly, all the Chu soldiers shouted in unison:
"We are willing to fight to the death for the king!"

The situation has become so dangerous that even Xiong Liu has to fight in person!
After Zhao Xiang's lips trembled for a moment, he said bitterly: "Your Majesty, surrender!"

Under the command of Qu Huan, the Chu army rushed downstream with all their strength.

"But if you all please surrender, will the State of Qin treat you well? How will the State of Chu treat you all?"

"Soldiers, are you willing to fight to the death for me?!"

But under the command of Yang Duanhe, the Qin army's warships staggered like canine teeth.

After tying the cloth tightly, Xiong Liu threw away his long bow, drew his sword from its scabbard and shouted loudly: "I will definitely lead all my dear friends to fight back to Kuaiji to fulfill my past promise!"

Le Xun saw clearly that Qin Jun came to serve as military guidance mercenaries this time.

But before Xiong Liu could draw the bow, an arrow pierced his left arm!

Faced with Xiong Liu's words, Zhao Xiang and others remained silent.

Because although Xiong Liu calls himself a widower, Xiong Liu has not yet held a formal enthronement ceremony.

"How should your clan treat your dear friends!"

Le Xun was even more shocked: "Is it possible that the King of Chu is here?"

So far in the war, the Chu army has only rushed to the center of the Qin army, but its warships have been almost destroyed.

The King of Chu is still a 'guest' in the State of Qin now that he is carrying the cud!

Zhao Xiang, Jing Li and other generals looked at each other and could see the deep helplessness in each other's eyes.

Zhaoxiang wanted to say, who said the King of Chu could not surrender?

If their plan succeeds, Zhaoxiang and Jingli will become the new heads of the Zhao and Jing clans.

Zhaoxiang hurriedly ran to Xiong Liu's side and cut off the arrow shaft exposed outside Xiong Liu's left arm with a sword.

Xiong Liu pulled off a piece of fabric from his jacket, used his hands and teeth to wrap up the wound himself, and ordered in a vague voice: "I'm fine."

"If the King of Chu is really here, should our army slow down the offensive and try to capture the King of Chu?"

"Your Majesty!"

Oh my king!
Could it be that I, Yang Duanhe, also have a chance to kill the king and destroy the country?

Even if a few warships occasionally broke through the obstruction and headed south, they would quickly be entangled, boarded, and killed by Qin warships beside them.

He is not willing!

Yang Duan and his troops came here to gain military glory at their own risk.

But if their plan not only fails, but they also ask for surrender here, will the Qin State trust this group of people? Does the Chu State trust this group of people? Will other countries trust these people?
How should the clan treat these clansmen who have failed in their rebellion and are wary of the kings of various countries!
"But my dear friends, don't worry, I will not surrender."

"Ai Qing, please quickly kill and retreat the enemy troops who have boarded the ship!"

"After all, according to the pre-war meeting of our Great Qin, our Great Qin only needs to drive the Chu army back to the south of the Huaihe River in this battle, and cannot inflict any more blows to the Chu State."

"Or even besiege without attacking and wait for the king's decision?"

On the Qin army's flagship not far away, Yang Duanhe's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty?!"

If they could escape to Kuaiji and establish Xinchu after their plan failed, Zhaoxiang, Jingli and others could also establish a branch line in the Xinchu clan and have friendly relations with the main lineage in the future.

According to the etiquette system, Xiong Liu is not considered a king!

"I am the king of Chu!"

Xiong Liu glanced at all the soldiers with his cold eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "If I surrender, the Qin State should also treat me with the courtesy of a king."

Xiong Liudu will never surrender before holding the enthronement ceremony and officially ascending to the throne of King Chu!

However, Xiong Liu's attitude of refusing to surrender was very firm.

Xiong Liu suddenly looked at Zhaoxiang with angry eyes: "Surrender?"

If I can really get such a big credit, then my position as general will be enough!

"How can I surrender!"

But the premise of all this is that it cannot harm the interests of Great Qin!
Yang Duanhe quickly calmed down, and then smacked his lips: "The previous report on Chang'an Jun's army clearly stated that King Chu was in Helu City, and he even spoke to Chang'an Jun in front of the formation."

"How did the King of Chu come to Hangou in such an instant?"

"King Chu can't fly!"

"And I have more or less watched King Chu grow up, and I know that King Chu is by no means a cowardly person."

"This army was defeated first at Judu and then at Xiapi City. How could the King of Chu continue to remain silent in the army after two major defeats!"

Le Xun asked worriedly: "Of course, the man opposite calls himself the King of Chu!" "Should we be more cautious?"

"Things like pretending to be the king must be left to the king!"

Lexun is really going crazy!
Ying Chengyu, who was far away in Helu City, was unreliable and dispatched Yang Duan and his troops without the king's consent.

However, Yang Duanhe was another general who was striving for promotion.

Although what Ying Chengyu and Yang Duanhe did was indeed not a big deal, if it were done by most other generals, they would only be disliked by the king, but not punished by the king.

However, he, Le Xun, was a surrendered general who had just surrendered three and a half years ago!
You are not afraid, I am!

Yang Duanhe looked at Lexun solemnly: "This is a trick of the enemy!"

"The enemy army wants to use these calls to make you, me, and the warriors of Great Qin fearful."

"Once our army is really afraid, we will weaken our offensive and give the enemy a chance to successfully break through!"

"If our army falls into the enemy's plan even though we know that King Chu is in Helu City, then you and I will become the laughing stock of the entire army!"

"Your Majesty will even question your and my ability to make critical decisions on the fly!"

Are Yang Duanhe's words reasonable?

Very reasonable!
So much so that Le Xun didn't know how to persuade Yang Duanhe.

Yang Duanhe turned around and shouted: "Order!"

"Board the enemy ship!"

"Kill the enemy!"

The drums became louder and louder.

The soldiers of the Qin army who were still a little wary no longer hesitated and swarmed towards the building where Xiong Liu was.

"Kill that bird king and take his head for military glory!"

"Block the entrance to Xiacang! We must not let the enemy attack Xiacang, otherwise it will be difficult for our troops to escape!"

"I am willing to surrender! I am willing to surrender!"

"Crossbow and sword in hand, step forward to kill the enemy!"

Under the fierce attack of the Qin army, the Chu army on the ship was forced to retreat continuously. They could only stick to Xiacangkou to protect the power of the building ship to continue moving forward.

Xiong Liu ignored the bleeding left arm and charged forward with his sword.

"That's your mother!" Xiong Liu cut off the head of a Qin soldier with a sword and shouted angrily: "I am the king of Xin Chu!"

"Not King Laoshiziniao!"

"Soldiers, fight to the death! Kill the enemy!"

While shouting angrily, a Qin sword stabbed out diagonally!

Jingli shouted in shock: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

While shouting, Jing Li suddenly thrust out his sword and swung away the sword that was aimed at Xiong Liu.

But this moment of negligence caused Jingli himself to be pierced through the throat with a Qin sword!

"Hoho~~~"

Blood mixed with the air flow spurted out from Jingli's neck.

Jingli's eyes suddenly widened, and his body leaned back uncontrollably.

But before Jingli's back touched the deck, a halberd pierced Jingli's heart, dragging Jingli back into the Qin army's formation, and another Qin soldier cut off his chest with a sword. Head!

Seeing helplessly that Jing Li, who had just helped him swing his sword away, was already hanging on the Qin soldier's waist in the blink of an eye, Xiong Liu roared angrily:
"I'm going to kill you!"

"I want the three tribes including Yier and others!"

With his eyes widened, Xiong Liu struck out with his backhand sword and cut open the neck of a Qin soldier!

But even though Xiong Liu was brave enough to charge at the front, the gap in strength, morale, and command between the two sides was still irreparable.

The shouts of killing that echoed in Xiong Liu's ears became increasingly sparse, and a Chu army soldier fell into a pool of blood.

When a sword pierced Zhao Xiang's heart, only Qu Huan and more than a dozen Chu army generals were still standing beside Xiong Liu!
Xiong Liu, who was covered in blood, smiled miserably and used his last strength to roar:

"I am the king!"

"The King of Chu!!!"

It's a pity that the soldiers of the Qin army did not leave Xiong any dignity as a king.

More than twenty Qin swords pierced Xiong Liu's body from all directions in front of him.

A Qin army commander even cut off Xiong Liu's head with a sword, took apart Xiong Liu's bun, and tied Xiong Liu's head to his waist with Xiong Liu's hair!
At this point, Xiong Liu died!
Looking at the head of Xiong Liu, who was still following the steps of the Qin army commander, and then at the Qin army soldiers surrounding him, Qu Huan smiled miserably: "How could the situation develop like this!"

"How could this be so!"

Looking back ten days ago, Qu Huan was still thinking carefully about how to deal with the relationship between Xiong Liu and Xiong Liu after he ascended the throne, and made many efforts and arrangements for this.

As a result, Xiong Liu died in front of him today!
And all the arrangements Qu Huan made for the future have now come to nothing!

At this point, Qu Huan knew that he was hopeless.

The only thing Qu Huan could do was to use his death to calm the anger of King Qi of Chu.

In exchange for King Qi of Chu not to hold his Qu family accountable!
While sighing with emotion, before the soldiers of the Qin army surrounded and killed him, Qu Huan first put his sword across his neck and spoke loudly: "I, Qu Huan, as the leader of the Qu clan and Zuo Yin of the Great Chu, am guilty of the Great Chu! I am guilty of the great king! Guilty in the clan!"

"Today, I will die to apologize!"
