Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 301 Meeting in a narrow road

Han Xin's face changed slightly. In terms of martial arts, he was absolutely inferior to Yingbo, the prisoner of Lishan. At that moment, Han Xin nodded gratefully to General Lang who blocked the arrow for him, and shouted at Yingbo on the top of the wall: "Yingbupifu, no matter what, you and I have served together under the tent of the King of Han, so you don't miss the old friendship at all?"

"Affection?" Ying Bo said coldly, "I have never provoked you, but you brought an army of hundreds of thousands to attack Huainan, my country. Do you have any affection from the past in your heart?" Bu pulled back the iron tire bow again, this time, he actually dunked two heavy spiked arrows at once, aiming at Han Xin's chest and abdomen vitals again.

Han Xin hurriedly rode his horse to avoid the rear, and he was too lazy to catch up with Yingbo.

The purple-robed young general rode forward on his horse, galloping back and forth while raising his big iron halberd to point at Yingbu on the top of the wall, and shouted sharply: "Yingbu, Cao Yu is here, don't come down quickly and be punished." die!"

Ying Bu was furious, looked back at the generals and shouted: "Huangkou Lizi, who is going to kill him?!"

Liji, the pro-military school lieutenant, came out of the line and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go!" After saying that, before Yingbu allowed, Liji had already rolled over and walked down the tower. Some soldiers had already taken his mount and spear , Liji turned on his horse and held his spear in his hand. After a while, the city gate opened and the suspension bridge was lowered. Liji rode out of the city gate alone to fight Cao Yu.

Liji was born as a stonemason, and his arms are extremely powerful. It is said that he once tore a tiger in the mountains, but I don't know if it is true or not. He and Yingbo met when they were prisoners in Lishan. Liji couldn't get used to it and wanted to fight the injustice, but was beaten up by Yingbohai instead, and has since become Yingbo's best friend.

Later, Yingbo rebelled, and Liji became the captain of Yingbo's personal army. In these years, Liji followed Yingbo to conquer the east and west, and fought in the south and north. He has experienced many battles and died under his stupid spear. The number of fierce generals and soldiers is unknown.

On the top of the city, Yingbo shouted: "Bring the drumsticks, I will beat the drums for Liji myself!"

General Zhao Zhen offered the drumsticks himself, and Ying Bu reached out to take them and strode to the drum stand. In an instant, the sound of war drums rang out like rain, and the blood of Huainan soldiers was dripping on the top of the city. The ground began to heat up, and under the city, hundreds of thousands of Qi soldiers also shouted in unison, cheering for the young purple-robed general Cao Yu.

Leaving the city, Li Ji reined in his horse and stopped, slightly raised his big stupid spear, pointed at the purple-robed young general Cao Yu who was a hundred paces away, and said: "Cao Yu, my general thinks you are young and ignorant, so I can give you a chance to live. If you dismount now and beg for mercy, this general can still spare your life, otherwise, die!"

Cao Yu lifted the iron halberd upside down, and said with a smile: "The general will have a name."

"Okay, this is you looking for death!" Liji said, urging his horse to go straight to Cao Yu, and shouted loudly while holding his gun, "This general is Liji, the son of Cao Yu, a general of the Huainan King's army. After his death, he went to Yincao Hell, don’t tell the wrong person! Ha!” Li Ji hurriedly urged the horse, and soon began to sprint at top speed.

Cao Yu smiled coldly, and also urged the horse to greet him.

The Qi State army lined up outside the city and the Huainan soldiers on the top of the city cheered like a tsunami. Fighting generals has always been the best way to boost morale. Blood and sweat, either achieve a world famous name, or become a stepping stone for others to be famous.

Amid the rapid sound of hoofbeats, Liji and Cao Yu could barely cross each other.

"Die!" Liji roared, and the big stupid spear in his hand was already sweeping towards Cao Yu with the momentum of thunder. Liji's big stupid spear weighed a hundred and ten catties. Incomparable, this sweep, Liji has exhausted all his strength, and vowed to sweep Cao Yu down with a single shot.

Cao Yu was unafraid, and the iron halberd in his hand swept towards him tit for tat.

In the blink of an eye, the big stupid spear and the big iron halberd collided fiercely in the air.

Li Ji, Cao Yu's power is more than a thousand catties?Although the horses under the crotch of the two were all good horses, they obviously couldn't bear the power of the thunderbolt. They immediately hissed and staggered sideways. Because of the excessive force, Li Ji almost fell off the horse. Cao Yu was also full of blood, and his handsome face like a crown of jade turned red in an instant.

Liji is a veteran warrior who has been on the battlefield for many years, while Cao Yu is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. The two of them cheered up and rode their horses back and forth to fight. After fighting for more than fifty rounds, Liji became a little impatient. , the next group of horses chased Cao Yu and walked side by side, and then the two of them rode back and forth with halberds and spears on horseback, fighting like a revolving lantern.

After more than [-] fights, the two were still tied. Han Xin was worried that Cao Yu would lose, so he ordered Jin to withdraw his troops.

Cao Yu fought back with a halberd to force Liji back, turned around and walked towards the main formation, when Liji was unwilling to wait for the chase, the sound of golden bells sounded from the top of the wall behind him, obviously, Yingbo was also worried about his defeat, so at the moment Liji went back to the city a little bit unhappy, it was really embarrassing to say that he failed to win against such a yellow-mouthed bastard today.

In front of the Qi army formation, Han Xin looked up at the sky and said, "Here's the order, the army will form a stronghold."

Hundreds of cavalry immediately rolled away behind him, and within a short while, Han Xin's king's order spread throughout the entire army, and the army of Qi State, which was standing in line, suddenly became busy like a colony of ants looking for food. Under the busyness of the worker ants, one after another tents were quickly erected, and circles of fences were erected quickly.

At the head of Pengcheng City, the expression on Yingbu's face was so gloomy that he could almost scrape off the frost. It was getting late today, and most of the Qi army would not attack the city, but tomorrow, the Qi army will definitely attack the city. It will be an extremely difficult day, but Chu's reinforcements don't know when they will arrive?Or...will it come?

Among the lofty mountains to the north of Langzhong, Xiang Zhuang was wandering forward with hundreds of remnants of soldiers.

Tang Tong didn't lie, there was indeed a small road leading to Langzhong in the mountains, but this small road was extremely steep and difficult to walk, even veterans like Tianlangwei fell and killed many people on the way.

Passing through a canyon, when Xiang Zhuang looked back, there were only more than 400 of the little two thousand Sirius Guards when he set off.

It can be said that the sudden attack on Hanzhong this time was a crushing defeat. It is unnecessary to think about attacking Hanzhong and forming a suppressive situation against the Han Kingdom geographically. Bashu was completely exposed to the vanguard of the Han army. In this way, if the Chu army wanted to defend Bashu, they had to garrison heavy troops!

If things really developed to such a stage, this battle against Shu could be said to have been a complete failure, because Bashu is too far away from Jiangdong, and there is Linjiang Kingdom in the middle, it is absolutely impossible for the Chu army to station heavy troops in Bashu, and Guanzhong is not far from Bashu, and the Han army can send heavy troops to raid Bashu at any time.

Therefore, once Jiameng Pass falls, Xiang Zhuang will lead his army out of Berkshire without hesitation.

It's a pity to spit out the fat in your mouth, but if you die, what will you eat?
However, there was no trace of frustration on Xiang Zhuang's face, and even in his heart, there were not many negative emotions such as depression and depression. Xiang Zhuang agreed with the words that the great military strategist Cao Cao often said: victory or defeat It's a common thing for military strategists. In this world, there are no generals who are always victorious, and losing battles is nothing more than a normal thing.

What's more, this battle against Shu may not be a complete defeat.

Maybe, Pang Yu's army has rushed to Jiameng Pass ahead of the Han army?
##########
Pang Yu had indeed rushed to Jiameng Pass, but he only brought three thousand Sirius Guards with him.

That day, after Xiang Zhuang personally led the two thousand Sirius Guards to set off first, Bai Lixian thought about it and felt uneasy, so he asked Pang Yu to bring three thousand Sirius Guards to meet Xiang Zhuang, and he himself led the army and mules. The baggage is delayed and the line is moved.

When Pang Yu led his army to Jiameng Pass, he only met more than a hundred guards guarding the pass. After asking, he found out that Xiang Zhuang had taken more than a thousand Sirius guards to kill Hanzhong early in the morning. Without any hesitation, Yu immediately left 500 Sirius guards to guard the pass, and then led the remaining [-] people onto the Golden Bull Road.

After walking less than twenty miles, the front sentry reported back and encountered a brigade of Han troops!

Pang Yu just pondered for a while, then ordered the whole army to unsheath their swords and swords, string their bows and arrows, set up their formations, and advance slowly. This golden bull road is extremely steep, with cliffs on both sides. He was eager to climb up the cliffs and set up an ambush, but there was no time. If you turn around and retreat, the Han army on the opposite side only needs to come to chase after it, and it is very likely to form a rout.

Therefore, the Chu army has only one choice, and that is to move forward and defeat the Han army!
Moreover, the terrain of the Jinniu Road is narrow, which is not conducive to the deployment of large armies. When the two armies met on a narrow road, it was a melee. Does the sudden appearance of the king mean that something happened to the king's army?
Thinking of this, Pang Yu was a little terrified, and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Almost at the same time, the Han army less than twenty miles away also discovered the existence of the Chu army.

After Bai Mo received the report, he made the same decision as Pang Yu. The whole army was on alert and continued to move forward.

In less than half an hour, the two armies of Chu and Han met on a narrow plank road. The width of the plank road was no more than four people walking in parallel. There is also a violent mountain wind blowing, ordinary people walking on it, just a little negligence, will fall into the abyss.
Pang Yu didn't stop at his feet, and slowly drew out the horizontal knife while walking forward.

Suddenly, a strong murderous intent floated in the depths of Pang Yu's eyes, he had already recognized the Han general opposite him, that was the Zhou Guanfu who beheaded Jing Qian at the Hulao Pass back then!

Brother Jingqian, today, I, Pang Yu, will avenge you!

A hundred steps away from the opposite side, Zhou Guanfu also took off the pair of iron halberds from his back with his backhand, and strode forward to meet him. Zhou Guanfu didn't know Pang Yu, but he couldn't help being excited at the thought of being able to kill a general!
