Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 47 The fierce battle is in full swing

In the camp of the Han army, the fierce battle is in full swing.

The more than 3000 remnants of the Chu army were like wild beasts, and launched an extremely fierce attack on the Han army. The [-] Han troops guarding in front of the barrier were clearly unable to hold back!
"Assault, Assault, All-Army Assault!"

At the rear of the Chu army, Xiang Zhuang was waving a long knife and roaring wildly.

Being seriously injured, it was impossible for Xiang Zhuang to charge forward again. He could only stay in the rear to cheer for Jing Qian, Gao Chu and hundreds of soldiers, and then loudly encouraged the Chu army to step up the attack. At this moment, Xiang Zhuang His eyes are already red, the Han army in front of the barrier is obviously out of support, as long as the Chu army works harder, they can break the barrier and kill Liu Bang!

"Behead Liu Bang! Behead Liu Bang! Sons of Great Chu, today is the day to make meritorious deeds, behead Liu Bang!"

The bright red blood was gushing out through the bandages that bound the wound, but Xiang Zhuang didn't notice it, he just held up the horizontal knife and roared furiously towards the barrier in front of him, like a mad tiger.

"Kill Liu Bang!" Jing Qian responded frantically, beheading the head of the Han army in front of him.

"Behead Liu Bang!" Gao Chu shot an arrow, and a soldier in the Han army fell to the ground.

"Behead Liu Bang!" Hundreds of warriors brandished thick-backed, single-edged knives and howled forward. Under the fiercer onslaught of the remnants of the Chu army, the struggling Han army finally collapsed. First, a few people turned around and fled. , followed by dozens of people, hundreds of people, and after a while, the remaining more than 3000 Han troops all ran away.

After all, these Han soldiers are just the strong men that Xiao He forcibly recruited from Guanzhong. After all, they are not Liu Bang's personal soldiers, let alone the remnants of the Chu army on the opposite side. Fighting for military merit, but the remnants of the Chu army are fighting for survival!

In order to survive, people can go all out!

But for military merit, you have to live to enjoy it if you can earn it.

On the high wall, Liu Bang was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

"Don't run, don't run, come back, come back to me..."

Although Liu Bang shouted so loudly that his voice was almost hoarse, no one heard him at all, and no one paid attention to him. Looking at the retreat of the Han army fleeing under the barrier, Liu Bang suddenly fell into an ice cave, it's over, it's over, just With this simple barrier and only eight hundred personal soldiers, how could it be possible to block the remnants of the Chu army who were as ferocious as tigers and wolves?It's over, it's over now!
"Hoo!" Amidst the screaming sound, another heavy arrow with spikes pierced through the air.

"Du!" Fortunately, a doctor with quick eyesight and quick hands stood in front of Liu Bang with a big shield on his shoulder.

Liu Bang, who was still in shock, quickly shrank his whole body behind the big shield, looked back at Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, and lamented sadly: "Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, my life is over, my life is over!"

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping also looked gloomy, and they are all at this point. Even if they have the talents of the world, they can't change a hundred thousand troops. What they can do now is to stand by and wait for help. When the sound was blown, most of the surrounding Han armies and princes from all walks of life had already received the news. The reinforcements should be coming soon, right?

On the rugged mountain road, Han Xin is leading [-] elite soldiers to advance rapidly.

"Hurry up, speed up! Arrive at Hanwang's camp within half an hour, and the king will definitely reward you!" Han Xin urged his horse to gallop, while yelling loudly. To be honest, he didn't like fighting in the mountains because of the terrain. It is too complicated and there are too many uncertain factors. The battle of Jingxing was also a mountainous terrain. Han Xin finally won by taking risks!
Today, Han Xin has many generals, but he no longer needs to take such strange risks. According to Han Xin, Liu Bang does not need to come to this wild mountain at all. He only needs to send Peng Yue or Yingbu to lead [-] soldiers to guard the mountain pass. After a while, snakes and insects ran rampant in the mountains, mosquitoes and flies bred, and the remnants of the Chu army naturally collapsed.

Han Xin also persuaded, but Liu Bang didn't listen at all.

The King of Han was still impatient, he was too impatient.

Yingbu was neatly dressed, and when he was about to go out of the tent to count troops, Ma Ye, a counselor, suddenly came uninvited.

"Your Majesty, are you going to lead troops to rescue the King of Han?" Ma Ye asked with a bow.

Ying Bu nodded, and said in a deep voice, "The King of Han's camp was attacked by the remnants of the Chu army. The King of Han has already sounded his horn for help, so Gu immediately mobilized all his troops to go to the rescue."

Ma Ye said: "But I heard that King Liang only sent 3000 people."

"Huh?" Ying Bu asked in amazement, "Peng Yue only sent 3000 people there?"

Ma Ye nodded and said, "There are only 3000 people, but it's Liu Kou's Tiger Wolf camp."

"Bird!" Ying Bu snorted, disapprovingly said, "What kind of tiger wolf camp, just Liu Kou's three thousand bandit soldiers, I can kill him with a single hand, Peng Yue only sent 3000 people, there must be no What kindness is Ann?"

Ma Ye nodded and said: "I heard that Fan Yang Kuaiche was not favored by the king of Qi, and he has already voted for King Liang. Most of the king of Liang heard Kuaiche's slander, so he made such a bad move, but the king can't imitate it." He, the King of Han still needs to rescue him, and the army should not be too small, but the road will be difficult after all, so the king can't go too hastily."

"Sir, what do you call that?" Ying Bo asked, "Rescuing soldiers is like putting out fires, so why not?"

"Your Majesty!" Ma Ye had no choice but to say, "The King of Han must be saved, but he cannot really be saved!"

"Okay, okay." Yingbo suddenly made one head bigger than the two, and waved his hands again and again, "Mr. is going to arrange Hanwang again, and it's such a trivial thing to come and go. My ears are almost tingling. , that's all right, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, I'm leaving now." After that, Yingbo turned around and left.

Zhou Yin's army was stationed fifty li away, so they were the last to hear that the King of Han was in danger.

"Father! Something has happened!" Zhou Huan strode into the tent, and before he could see the ceremony, he said to Zhou Yin out of breath, "The remnants of the Chu army are attacking the King of Han's camp, and the King of Han has sounded his horn to call for help from all the princes!"

"What did you say!?" Zhou Yin was startled and said in disbelief, "The Chu army is storming the King of Han's camp?"

"Yeah!" Zhou Huan clapped his fists and said in an inexplicable tone, "This Xiangzhuang, I really didn't see it before, and led thousands of disabled soldiers to attack the King of Han's camp!"

Zhou Yin was silent then, and slowly sat back on the table.

Zhou Huan said again: "Father, should we send troops to rescue the King of Han?"

"We are too far away, and we probably won't be able to catch up with the battle over there." Zhou Yin said after a pause, "However, we still have to go, otherwise, if the King of Han escapes this calamity, he will definitely hate you when he looks back. My father and son, plus the King of Han didn't trust you, my father and son, the situation will probably get worse, you take five thousand elite soldiers and set off quickly."

"No!" Zhou Huan bowed and took the order to go.

"Attack!" Xiang Zhuang raised his saber and screamed, and ten sharp soldiers of the Chu army rushed towards the gate of the barrier with a large wooden stake.

The other dozen or so sharp soldiers of the Chu army held up the large shields of the Han army that they had picked up, and folded them into a tight shield wall on the head and sides, tightly covering the ten sharp soldiers of the Chu army who were carrying the bumping wood. There are more than a dozen sharp soldiers of the Chu army holding up their shields and following behind. Once there are casualties in front, they are ready to fill the gap at any time.

Arrows, rolling wood and rocks fell from the barrier. In less than a moment, the shield wall built by the Chu army was filled with dense arrows, and six or seven sharp soldiers of the Chu army were hit and fell in a pool of blood. In the middle, but soon, the sharp soldiers of the Chu army who followed behind covered the gap they left, and Zhuangmu finally rushed to the gate of the barrier!
"Boom!" The bumper finally slammed into the gate of the barrier, and the dirt and dust fell down immediately.

"Back, back, back..." In the sound of the trombone of the leading officer, more than a dozen elite soldiers of the Chu army retreated one after another, and then strode forward amidst the bleak sound of the trombone. The ground slammed into the gate of the barrier, and a dozen soldiers of the Han army behind the gate were knocked to the ground in an instant.

On the barrier, Liu Bang shouted loudly: "Pour kerosene, pour kerosene!"

Not far from Liu Bang, several cauldrons of kerosene were already boiling. Four soldiers of the Han army stepped forward, lifted two cauldrons of kerosene and strode to the top of the gate of the fortress. The fierce fire oil had already poured down from the barrier, and the sharp soldiers of the Chu army hiding under the shield wall were suddenly scalded and screamed.

"Set fire, set fire quickly, burn them to death, burn them to death!" Liu Bang repeatedly stomped his feet and yelled again and again.

More than a dozen torches were thrown down from the barrier, poured on the shield wall of the sharp soldiers of the Chu army, and the fierce kerosene on their bodies immediately burned, and in the blink of an eye, the gate of the barrier was completely completed. A sea of ​​flames was engulfed, and more than 30 sharp soldiers of the Chu army who were in charge of knocking on the door were swallowed by raging fire in an instant.

Seeing this tragic scene, Xiang Zhuang's heart almost bleeds!

These more than 30 sharp soldiers of the Chu army are the best of the best!

"Attack again!" Although Xiang Zhuang's heart was bleeding, he never backed down and roared again with his sword raised.

"Damn it, you, you, and you, hurry up and lift the wooden stake over there!" Jing Qian yelled at Gao Chu, "Old Gao, put up a shield, I'll go straight up, Kill their Menghuoyou first!" Menghuoyou has always been the enemy of siege, if you don't burn it, if you want to break through the gate, you don't know how many people will be burned to death.

"Okay!" Gao Chu nodded heavily, and immediately led dozens of sharp men to set up a shield frame.

The so-called shield frame is actually dozens of Chu soldiers holding large shields and erecting a slope upwards on their heads. Chu soldiers can run up the ramp along this ramp, and finally jump onto the barrier!Although the height of the shield is less than one foot, soldiers with strong legs can still jump up the barrier, after all, the barrier is only less than two feet high.

When Jing Qian was about to rush up with a torch, a soldier behind him snatched his torch.

"Knife?" Jing Qian was stunned for a moment, and then roared angrily, "Han Xiaodao, come back to me!"

The little soldier stepped on the shield without looking back, and roared loudly: "Junhou, the villain has received your great favor of saving your life twice, and I can't repay you. I will go for you today. Forgot to pour a few glasses of water and wine in front of the little man!" Before the roar was over, the little soldier had already rushed out of the shield frame, and with a fierce leap, he leaped onto the barrier and rushed towards the steaming big iron cauldron.
