Chapter 237

Updated: 2010-11-29

Hearing voices coming from the front, Long Qi knew that his thousands of wounded and exhausted soldiers could not compete with the Qin army waiting here.He glanced at Chu Bing who was still by his side and said, "I didn't expect the Qin people to move so quickly this time, but within a few days, all directions around Yingchuan City were ambushed. Now we can only fight to the death." We rushed out a way, are you afraid?"

All the soldiers glanced at each other, and they all saw the blood stains on each other's body, but their eyes showed determination, and they shook their heads together and said: "I am honored to be able to die here with General Long. Please order the general." !"

"Okay, you are all worthy of being the most elite troops in my Great Chu!" Long Qie said aloud with some emotion, "From now on, we no longer have generals and soldiers here, but only soldiers. The soldiers of my Great Chu, everyone They are all brothers! Brothers, let's charge!" After finishing his last sentence, Long Qi moved his horse and killed him in the direction where the sound of people and horses came from the south.The other Chu soldiers also shouted: "Brothers, kill!" They followed Longqie closely and killed.At this time, they seemed to have no physical pain and exhaustion at all, they only felt a fire burning in their hearts, and they wanted to use this fire in their hearts to kill all Qin Jun in front of them.

Long, who was leading the horse, soon saw a figure, he tightened the ax in his hand, shook the rein violently, and rushed forward together with the horse.He didn't look at the other person's face at all, the ax in his hand had already drawn an arc and slashed towards the neck of the person in front of him.

The man was just standing there on guard, but suddenly he saw a man and a horse galloping towards him, and then a strong wind rushed towards him.He hurriedly picked up the spear in his hand to meet him, and only heard a "clang", the spear in the man's hand broke in two.When the man saw that the spear was broken, he knew that he would not be spared, but he didn't want to be reconciled that he didn't even know who died in his hands, so he looked at the passerby.As soon as he saw Long Qi's face, the man forgot about the imminent ax and shouted: "General Long!"

When Long Qi's ax was about to cut down the man, including the man and the horse, he heard a familiar address and hurriedly looked over.Seeing the man's appearance, Long Qie hastily withdrew the force on the axe, then pushed upwards with his back hand, swung the ax close to the man's scalp with a whimper.Then Long Qi wondered: "Why are you here?" It turned out that he was one of Xiang Yu's personal soldiers, and Long Qi had often seen him in the past, so he recognized him at this moment.

The man only felt that he had walked through the gate of hell, his back was covered with cold sweat, and he still felt bursts of tingling pain on his scalp. After he regained his composure, he said: "The Overlord is here."

"What? The overlord is here?" Long Qi was startled, and stretched out his hand to stop the Chu soldiers who wanted to kill them. The soldiers of the country, this is the peace of mind.But Long Qi was even more anxious: "Where is the Overlord? Why haven't I seen him?"

"Bawang took people to Yingchuan to find the general, and ordered us to stay here as guard."

At this moment, Long Qi could clearly see that the terrain here was higher than the surrounding area, and it happened to be a good place to go to the south. No wonder Xiang Yu would stay here, it turned out to be a preparation for retreating.Then he thought that Yingchuan was completely occupied by the Qin army at this time, could Xiang Yu take it back this time, so he asked, "How many troops did the Overlord bring?"

"Three thousand, we come here with a total of more than [-] people."

"Three thousand? Not good, let's hurry to Yingchuan to meet the Overlord. At this time, there may not be tens of thousands of Qin troops in the city." Long Qi panicked and was about to steer his horse towards Yingchuan.As soon as the other soldiers heard that Xiang Yu had gone there, they all picked up their weapons again and wanted to follow Long Qie back to kill.

At this moment, Xiang Yu's voice came: "No need, I'm back." I saw Xiang Yu holding the bloody knife and urging Wu Hao, who was stepping down, to come up, and behind him were thousands of people. In the army, everyone has scars and blood on their bodies.

Seeing that Xiang Yu came back safely, Long Qi was relieved. He was about to ask Xiang Yu why he came here, but was interrupted by Xiang Yu's order: "The whole army must retreat quickly, we must catch up with Ying before Qin Junian." Before Chuan is fully under control, leave this place and return to Chu." All the Chu soldiers responded, then picked up their belongings, and followed Xiang Yu to the south.

After dark, all the people set up camp in a valley, and after everything was arranged, Long Qie came to Xiang Yu's tent.When he was about to call Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu's indifferent voice came from inside: "Is it Long Qi? Come in."

"Long Qi has seen the Overlord. Not only did I fail to defend Yingchuan, but I also left tens of thousands of soldiers unaccounted for. I am really ashamed of the Overlord and the people of Chu." As soon as Long Qi entered the account, he fell to his knees.

Xiang Yu looked at him for a long time before saying: "Qin's army is powerful, you can't blame you if you can't defend Yingchuan, and I have seen Yingchuan, it is indeed a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend. As for the troops you mentioned, I think Qin People may not be able to kill them all, and the scattered Chu army will return to Chu State at that time, so you don’t have to blame yourself. The purpose of my coming here is to rescue you back to Chu State.”

Long Qiu glanced at Xiang Yu gratefully, and then asked with some doubts: "I really didn't expect that the Overlord would bring troops here. If I hadn't happened to meet one of the Overlord's personal soldiers, I would be afraid Those who have already stayed there with the Overlord have fought against each other."

Xiang Yu said: "This time I was able to bring people here, thanks to Mr. Fan, if he hadn't suddenly thought of some problems, we might not know if your entire army died here." Seeing Long Qi With a puzzled look on his face, Xiang Yu talked about the reason for coming here: "Since I sent you and Xiang Zhuang the letter that day, Mr. Fan still feels that there are some things that he didn't think of..."

On the way Xiang Yu's troops lost in the battle of Hanoi and retreated to Chudi, Fan Zeng always felt heavy in his heart. A Qin army appeared, and its combat power was stronger than that of ordinary teams.So when he rested that day, he came to Xiang Yu's camp and explained his incomprehension.

He just expressed his uneasiness, Xiang Yu also nodded and said: "What Mr. Fan said is that I have the same feeling. It seems that all this is a trap designed for us by the people of Qin, just waiting for us to fall into it."

Fan Zeng frowned and said, "If it's what we think, we were lured by the Qin army this time, then the other two groups of people may be in danger. What does the Overlord think we should do?"

Xiang Yu hurriedly ordered someone to take out the map and looked at it.After a long time, he said: "In my opinion, this Handan City should be a place where the Qin people used to hold back our soldiers and horses. After all, the walls are thick and the city is high, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can stop my tens of thousands of troops. But here..." Xiang Yu tapped his finger in the direction of Yingchuan twice before continuing, "The vicinity here is the most conducive to hiding tens of thousands of ambush soldiers. If I If it is the Qin army, they can set up an ambush here and wipe out Longqie's troops here. And judging from the battle report sent by Longqie a few days ago, it is not difficult for him to take down Yingchuan. The army intentionally put them into the city."

Fan Zeng glanced at Xiang Yu. With Xiang Liang's passing, Xiang Yu had begun to transform from a young man who only knew how to act quickly into a mature general who could consider the overall situation. Fan Zeng couldn't help showing a gratified smile on his face. . "Also, I also suspect that apart from wanting to trap General Long and the others in this city, the people of Qin also have another idea, which is to make them march recklessly. I'm afraid I've fallen into the trap of the Qin army." Fan Zeng added, "So our top priority is to tell General Long the news as soon as possible, so that he can bring the troops out of Yingchuan as soon as possible."

Xiang Yu looked at the map and said after a long time: "Our messenger is already on the way to Yingchuan, so what you said, Mr. Fan, is not important. What I am afraid of is that they will be ambushed by the Qin army after they leave the city. So I think it would be better for me to lead a team of troops Xingye to the rescue. If I can join hands with Long Qie inside and out, I think no matter how powerful the Qin army is, they will not be able to keep them there."

"But we're almost at the state of Chu, and it's too risky for Overlord to go here. Why don't you send other generals there?" Fan Zeng said.

"Now only in my name can Qin Jun be scared. You don't need to say much. This place is only a few days away from my land of Great Chu. I am very relieved to have Mr. Fan with them." Xiang Yu Said, with a firm tone, not allowing Fan Zeng to escape.

Fan Zeng also knew that what Xiang Yu said was reasonable, and his evaluation of Xiang Yu just now was a little less, that is, Xiang Yu was still as stubborn as before, which was his most terrible shortcoming. , No one can change, including yourself.So Fan Zeng had no choice but to agree.

Early the next morning, Xiang Yu left the Chu Army Brigade with only more than 3000 people, and headed for Yingchuan at night.

After hearing Xiang Yu's words, Long Qi compared what he had experienced, and found that this was indeed a conspiracy by the Qin people. He said with shame on his face: "It is the general who was too negligent, and actually let our Chu country suffer damage." killed so many people."

Xiang Yu hurriedly comforted: "This defeat is also due to my overlord being too arrogant, and it has nothing to do with you. But I think the battle between us and the Qin people is not over yet. They set up this plan this time. The intention is to let us lose our soldiers and lose our generals, so as to clear the obstacles for them to attack our Chu State, so we can win back what we lost on the ground of Chu State."

Upon hearing this, Long Qi nodded deeply.
