Qiang Qin

There were bursts of killing at the pass.

The back mountain fire was raging.

The scorching sun of summer bakes the broken branches and fallen leaves, emitting bursts of stench. Under the action of fermenting fungus, methane accumulates under the soft fallen leaves, gradually forming a little flammable gas.

The generals of the Chu army were about to go crazy.

There are burning flames everywhere, which can't be extinguished no matter how hard you fight, and after detouring the trail that was finally recognizable a few times, I completely lost my way.

Where are you going?

Where is the pass of Hulao Pass.

The sound of shouting and killing echoed in the valley, and there were bursts of whimpering, making it impossible to tell where the fierce battle was happening. Finally, he finally encountered Wang Shang and Zhang Ping's besieging troops head-on.

"Chu manzi, where are you going to run away?" Wang Shang shouted, and led two thousand crossbowmen from his headquarters to approach the scouts of the Chu army in chaos. When a machine crossbow was erected, Ji Xin and others had already passed can go.

At the other end, Langzhong Zhang Ping led a Qin army to guard the only path down the mountain. This time, he finally felt proud, and was able to surround the always high-ranking Chu army. Zhang Ping felt indescribably happy.

In the battle of Jiyuan, the Qin army was full of fighting spirit. Zhang Ping and his elder brother Zhang Hannai surrendered to Xiang Yu. But he is an empty prince with a princely position. Not to mention that compared with powerful princes like Zhang Er and Liu Bang, even Shen Yang, who can only flatter, is much more affordable than Zhang Han.

Full of grievances and resentment, Zhang Ping turned back to Guanzhong.What happened next does not need to be described further. For Zhang Han and Zhang Ping, returning to the embrace of Qin State again is the greatest comfort in their hearts.

The Chu army fought and retreated.

Under the continuous shooting of crossbow arrows, their casualties became heavier and the howling wounded were abandoned. They could only stay in the injured place and wait to die. When they rolled in, their fate was like wild animals being driven into the fire, becoming a piece of charred meat roasted alive.

——.

Ji Xin is going crazy.

The sound of shouting and killing is clearly in my ears, but I can't find the way.

After the death of the money-grubbing guide, the Chu army once walked for a while along the trail stepped by the Qin army's dead team. Unfortunately, soon, the fire that was blown more and more by the mountain wind swallowed everything that could be distinguished.

Wang Shang's crossbowmen hid in the dark, firing cold arrows one after another. Ji Xin couldn't help yelling at this shameful way of fighting, but their shouts not only did not attract Wang Shang's Qin army crossbowmen, but attracted The reinforcements of the Qin Army, who pulled out again and again, learned that a team of patrolling mountains had been killed by the Chu Army. Speed ​​up and move closer to the center of the encirclement and annihilation.

"Quick, retreat, retreat from the same path!"

After losing nearly [-] elite soldiers, Ji Xin finally lost the confidence to find a way to attack Hulao Pass, even though at this time, he had already heard the continuous shouts of killing at the pass.

This is the main force of the Chu army attacking the pass!

It's a pity that it is extremely difficult to reunite. Ji Xin felt that even if he tried his best, he would not be able to defeat the Qin army who surrounded them.

mountainside.

The path of the Chu army came at a bend.

With a sneer, Zhang Ping looked at the soldiers of the Chu army who were getting closer and closer. These Chu soldiers no longer had the heroic appearance they had when they entered the mountain, and what remained was the expression of panic and panic and help on their faces.

Suddenly, Zhang Ping saw a familiar face.

"Ji Xin, that's him." Zhang Ping's heart was churning endlessly like boiling water.At the beginning, it was Ji Xin who blocked Zhang Ping's return at Pubandu, causing a total of 20 Qin troops to be besieged in the Jiyuan for food and grass, and to rescue soldiers from outside. However, Xiang Yu had no choice but to surrender.

"Hedong for 30 years, and Hexi for 30 years. Unexpectedly, after only two years, the war between Qin and Chu turned into another result." Zhang Ping clenched the bronze short sword in his hand, and his eyes ignited. The flames of vengeance.

——.

Two hundred steps.

One hundred steps.

Fifty steps—.

Zhang Ping, who silently counted the distance to the Chu army, let out a loud cry, jumped up first, and rushed towards the scattered columns of the Chu army, followed by Zhang Ping, one after another, with hideous faces and bare upper body. Pawns, they fought fiercely, holding nothing but a bronze sword in their hands.

"It's the Qin dog!"

One of the scouts from the Chu army who cleared the way let out an exclamation. Before he could give another warning, Zhang Ping rushed forward with his body, and stabbed obliquely at the opponent's abdomen with the copper sword.

"Poor!"

The sword penetrates the skin.

There was a numb feeling of slight chills, and then there was a sharp pain. The Chu army who suffered from the pain stared round his eyes, tightly grasped the hilt of his sword with both hands, and slammed Zhang Ping violently.

"Yeah!" Zhang Ping yelled, exerting strength with his shoulders at the same time, and had an intimate collision with the tough opponent. The collision between the shoulder bone and the hardest part of the shoulder bone caused both sides to cry out in great pain.

The joint falls off.

Zhang Ping's right hand could no longer grasp the hilt of the sword, but he didn't need to use any more strength at this time. The sword entered the body of the enemy soldier, and just a slight touch brought out streams of blood. An unknown internal organ was sliced ​​off by the sword.

"Uh!"

Chu Zu was in pain again, and finally lost all his strength, he sat down slowly on the ground, the wound on his abdomen, several layers of armor had been dyed bright red with blood.

This is the most courageous team leader under Ji Xin's command.

This former Yangtze River thief crossed the river from the east to the north and experienced several fierce battles, but he didn't want to be buried in the deep mountains and jungles of Hulaoguan today.

Zhang Ping and Wang Shang attacked back and forth, blocking Ji Xin on the mountainside. This scuffle started shortly after the sun rose and came to an end near noon.

Ji Xin can escape.

After the soldiers of the Chu army fell unwillingly one after another, in the final hand-to-hand combat with the Qin army, Ji Xin hugged a Qin soldier and rolled down the cliff, then hit his head on a rock and passed out.

With Ji Xin absent, the leaders of the Chu army, some of them who had lost their fighting spirit let go of their weapons and surrendered, while the others who were still resisting had no intention of holding on, and ran into the mountains one after another trying to find a way to escape, but their ideas were very good , the result is often very cruel. Walking alone in this deserted mountain with no roads, and the whole body is covered with wounds and bloody smell, it is impossible to go far. In front of them, what awaits them is a large and hungry beast .

——.

noon.

The head is fierce.

It was illuminated by Hulao Xiongguan, within a hundred feet, and covered, Li Yuan's whole body seemed to be washed with water. Continuous sweat flowed from his head to the crotch of his trousers. It was sticky and wet, which made people feel strongly uncomfortable.

"Li Hou, Xiang Yu is coming up?" Cao Xin strode over the gravel on the defile, and rushed to Li Yuan's big banner. His finger was the Chu army's fiery red banner that was getting closer and closer.

One black and one red.

Finally, it was inevitable that they would collide together.

Li Yuan let out a long breath. His heart had changed from the agitation when he first saw Xiang Yu to the current calmness. The change in this period came from the brutal battle this morning.

Someone once said that if a man wants to grow up, then send him to the battlefield.

Someone once said that if a man wants to be destroyed, then send him to the battlefield.

Li Yuan can't remember who said this in later generations, but, thinking about it today, it is so straightforward and so reasonable.

The battlefield is a place where the spirit of a person is tested.

Li Yuan is here, has seen too many deaths, and has already put life and death beyond his control, so what about Xiang Yu, what about being brave first, facing a group of soldiers who are not afraid of death, even Xiang Yu has nothing to do .

"Order: The whole army guards the pass, and there will be no truce." Li Yuan shouted, pulled out the bronze dagger from his waist, and rushed to the most tight place in the pass.

"Fight, fight, fight!" Cao Xin shouted hoarsely, yelling at the generals of the Qin army on the pass.

There is no need for rhetoric to mobilize, and actions mean everything.The same is true for Li Yuan, and the same for Xiang Yu. Two people with different surnames and different experiences are entangled together because of this war that neither one is willing to give in. They guard the dignity of a man. Fall against the enemy.

Ji Bu rushed to the pass.

Extremely exhausted, he ran into Cao Xin head-on, who was as fierce as a murderous god. The two had watched each other for a long time on the battlefield, but this time they finally met for real.

In another place, Qin general Jiang Yu and Xiang Yu's personal army general Zhou Lan each led a group of soldiers to fight at the bottom of the defile. Zhou Lan tried to command the soldiers to bring in a giant tree and knocked down the last guard of the Qin army. The defense position, while Jiang Yu is desperately holding on, the two sides fought fiercely, and both suffered heavy casualties.

Step by step, Xiang Yu climbed up the corpse mountain full of corpses. Around him, the huge shields erected by several relatives protected the sporadic arrows shot by the Qin army. At this time, even the intact There are not many machine crossbows in the Qin army, and the continuous fierce battles have consumed too much of the Qin army's reserve crossbows.

"Li Yuan, do you still dare to fight?" Xiang Yu opened his arms, laughing triumphantly and stepping on the pass.

"Xiang Ji, you thought you had won, but in fact, the one who really lost today was none other than you." Li Yuan leaned on a protruding rock on the pass, and pointed at Xiang Yu who was getting closer and closer, showing a sarcastic look. Smile.

"Haha, Thief Li, you are still quibbling when you are about to die. Let's see how long you can hold on to this pass." Xiang Yu waved his big hand and said loudly towards the fierce battle at the pass battlefield.

Fierce battles are everywhere.

Resistance is everywhere.

Qin Jun is like brown sugar, never giving up, surrendering, or bowing his head.This annoyed the soldiers of the Chu army who already felt that they were on the verge of victory.

"Kill Chu!"

The stalemate battle was still going on, and Xiang Yu, who was so complacent, suddenly tightened his double pupils, and a Qin army in black armor suddenly appeared in his pupils.
