The soldiers brought by Zhou Bo lost their fighting spirit when they saw that their general was defeated by Xiang Yu, and threw their weapons on the ground one after another.

Zhou Bo waited for a long time but did not wait until Xiang Yu's knife fell on him, so he opened his eyes, only to see several Chu soldiers coming up to tie him up.Xiang Yu came to him and said: "I respect you as a general, so I spare your life. I hope your master Liu Bang can think clearly about surrendering to me in time, otherwise your life will not be guaranteed." Then he He ordered loudly: "Take them to the city of Surabaya and hand them over to my uncle." The Chu army took the more than 1 prisoners of war to Surabaya.

The rain was very dense, and Fan Kui wiped the rain on his face with his hands while saying: "Hurry up, everyone, we might catch those Chu people by surprise while it's raining." 2 horses from Zhudang County came to support.The people around him were also persuading him: "General, let's wait for the rain to subside before we go on our way. Otherwise, the brothers are all exhausted in the city of Surabaya. How can we still compete with the Chu army?"

Fan Kui glared at him: "What do you know? Now that the Chu army is aggressively attacking our Sishui County, if we hurry up to help Lao Liu and the others retreat, I'm afraid that when we get there, we will only see the Chu people's flag planted on the head of Sishui City."

When the man saw that Fan Kuai was angry, he didn't dare to say anything, so he urged the army to advance together with him.

The road they traveled was much better than Zhou Bo's path. It was not in a valley. The only thing that was a little dangerous was that there were trees on both sides of the road.

There were indeed soldiers and horses ambushing in the woods, and it was the [-] army led by Xiang He.This time, in order to deal with the two supporting troops, Xiang Liang had already mobilized most of his soldiers. If Liu Bang from Surabaya came out in full force, Xiang Liang would have no choice but to retreat.

Seeing that the opponent had entered his ambush circle, Xiang He ordered the archers to step forward to prepare first, and then gave the signal to attack.Fan Kuai's army, who was advancing, suddenly saw a loud arrow shot into the air, and then suddenly appeared from under his feet, and several horseshoes suddenly appeared. Everyone was caught in a tussle, especially the horse was caught by the horse. Suo broke the horse's hoof and fell to the ground, screaming continuously. The knight on the horse was either thrown out and fell half to death, or was crushed to death by the horse.All of a sudden, there was chaos, and there were endless complaints everywhere, and they had just started to complain when the forest shot out a dense rain of arrows, which was almost indistinguishable from the rain from the sky.The cries of the crowd turned into screams. Those who fell on the ground became living targets for the shooters in the woods, and those who did not fall were also clumsy, not knowing what to do.

When Fan Kui fell into the ambush of the other party, he couldn't help being furious. He jumped off his horse and rushed into the forest wielding a knife.But after only a few steps, he was forced back by the rain of arrows, and his left leg was hit by an arrow. "General, let's retreat first, so that we can regain our footing." A staff officer accompanying the army came to Fan Kui and said loudly.

Fan Kui stared at Lin Zi with staring eyes, as if he was about to burst into flames. He dismissed the man and said, "What's your idea? If we retreat now, the morale of our army will definitely drop. Now the only way to kill these enemies is to kill them." Only by retreating can we rebuild our military spirit." He rushed forward again regardless of his injuries.The other soldiers were naturally encouraged by seeing the heroic general so brave and rushed forward with Fan Kuai.All of a sudden, the sound of shouting and killing resounded through the world.

Xiang Ta knew that the opponent would not retreat when he saw the opponent's desperate attack, and his thousand bows could not stop the impact of the opponent's 2 people, so he immediately ordered the archers to retreat, and put the spearmen and spearmen behind them. Put it at the forefront of the camp.After the archers shot their arrows for the last time, they retreated to the rear, while the spearmen and long-handers rushed forward with weapons to meet Fan Kuai's army.One side has precise deployment, coupled with high morale, while the other side is rushing to attack, relying only on a moment of bloody courage, and the outcome is already determined in just one face-to-face.Under Xiang Ta's calm command, the Chu army fought steadily, and the long and short distance weapons cooperated just right. They gradually ate away the lives of the soldiers of the Fan Kuai army and forced them together bit by bit.After fighting for more than two hours, the Chu army had surrounded Fan Kuai's army.

Xiang He came to the front of the battle and said: "Which general is leading the army on the opposite side, can you come out and meet?"

Fan Kuai squeezed out from the crowd and said, "We've already been defeated. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"In order to show my Dachu's friendliness to you Liu Bangjun, as long as you stop resisting and put down your weapons, we will not attack you." Xiang he shouted loudly.

"You want me, Lao Fan, to surrender you? That's a dream!" Fan Kui said angrily when he heard that he was persuading him to surrender, and then swung his sword in his hand: "Kill, even if I am dead, I will pull you together!" After speaking, he took the lead After rushing up, the soldiers behind were also rushed up desperately under the influence of the general, vowing to fight the Chu army to the death.

Xiang Ta saw that the opponent had no intention of surrendering at all, so he gave the order to attack.Fan Kuai's army first saw the dense rain of arrows, then the impact of spears and other long weapons, and then the Chu army holding swords.The bloody battle lasted until the afternoon of the second day, blood and stagnant water flowed everywhere, and countless people fell down, including Liu Bang's soldiers and the Chu army.In the end, there were only more than 300 soldiers left around Fan Kui and only more than 5000 soldiers on the other side.

Fan Kuai roared and was about to kill him when he heard the sound of a sharp weapon piercing the air from behind. A spear pierced his back and passed through his chest. A weeping voice said: "General! , I really don't want to fight anymore..." Fan Kui turned his head with difficulty and saw that one of his own soldiers was holding a spear that had pierced his body.He only felt his body lighten, and slowly fell to the ground. He never thought that he would die in the hands of his own soldiers in the end.

After the soldier killed Fan Kuai, he knelt down on the ground immediately, expressing his surrender, and the others also surrendered.Looking at the dead soldiers on both sides, Xiang He only felt a burst of sadness.He ordered people to carry Fan Kuai's body away, and then returned to Surabaya with the army.

"Pei Gong is not well, General Fan's body was picked out by the Chu people for public display! And the Chu people sent this letter in." A soldier hurriedly ran into the lobby and shouted to Liu Bang.

"What?" Liu Bang, who was frowning at this moment, yelled in fright when he heard this, "Is what you said true? Lao Fan is really dead?" Soldiers' clothes.

"It's absolutely true. This subordinate saw it with their own eyes." The soldier said hastily.

Liu Bang drove him away, and then quickly walked towards the city wall, followed by Xia Houying and Xiao He.

Ascending to the top of the city, Liu Bang looked in front of the camp of the Chu army, and saw a large wooden stake, with a head hanging from the top of the stake. It was Fan Kuai who Liu Bang and others were so familiar with. "Old Fan~" Liu Bang shouted with deep hatred in his eyes.At this moment, the soldier chased up from behind and said, "Pei Gong, you haven't read the letter sent by the Chu people into the city yet." He said and handed over the silk book in his hand.

Xiao He on the other side reached out to take it, opened it to look at it and said: "Pei Gong, it seems that I am an isolated city in Surabaya, the two reinforcements have been defeated by the Chu army, Zhou Bo was captured alive by them, and Lao Fan... . . ”

Liu Bang looked at Xiao He, then at the head of Fan Kuai under the city, and said, "What should we do?"

"Now there is only one way to go, and that is to descend to Chu." Lu Zhi also appeared on the top of the city at some point, and said after listening to Liu Bang's question.

Xiao He thought for a while and said: "Madam's words are also reasonable. Now because the reinforcements have been defeated by them, the morale of our army is even lower than at the beginning. The city of Sishui cannot be defended. The only solution is to surrender to Chu. People become their people."

Hearing that the two people he trusted the most proposed to surrender, Liu Bang also had the heart to surrender, but then he asked again: "If we surrender to the Chu people now, will we gain their trust?"

"Yes, after all, we still have tens of thousands of horses on hand. The people of Chu also suffered heavy losses this time, so they can use our troops to supplement them." Xiao He said firmly.

"Then Lao Xiao, you will go to the Chu camp for me, and tell them that we are willing to open the city and surrender." Liu Bang turned and walked down the city.As he walked down, he made an oath in his heart: "Old Fan, I will definitely avenge you. Although I have surrendered to the Chu people, I will definitely kill them all and let the Chu country be destroyed again." Forget, to avenge your death!"

The contact between Xiao He and Xiang Liang was very fast. In less than three days, the two sides negotiated, and the Chu army entered the city of Sishui smoothly. Xia Houying co-manages it.After rectifying the army and horses, Xiang Liang returned with the army. Fu Su looked sideways at Liu Bang, the ultimate victor in history, and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't see anything wrong.

Afterwards, Fusu still returned to Jiujiang County to be his long history, but Hungry Xiang Yu followed Xiang Liang back to Kuaiji. At this time, Jiujiang County became Yu Fulong's dominance again, but Fusu knew that it was impossible for the people here. Out of Chu people's control.

Time passed quickly, and it was the end of April in a blink of an eye, and the weather was gradually getting hotter. At this time, Yu Fulong gave Fusu another task, which was to select good boatmen to prepare for the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival held every year. .This was beyond Fusu's expectation, he didn't expect that such a troubled world would still be so interested in dragon boat rowing, so he went to ask Miss Yu, and at the same time, borrowed from her the good rower named Lao Chen.
