Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 8 Wujiang Elegy
The night was dim, and hooves sounded like thunder.

Five thousand cavalrymen of the Qi Army were heading south along the wilderness, but the cavalry general Guan Ying and his soldiers did not notice that in the dark night, in the ashes not far from them, quietly More than 4000 remnants of the Chu army were lurking, and all the remnants of the Chu army consciously held their breath and never dared to make the slightest sound.

Because they all know that once they make a noise, once they are discovered by the Qi army, it means death!In the bare wasteland, it is impossible for infantry to escape the pursuit of cavalry.

The rolling horseshoes rolled up the smoke and dust in the sky, roaring forward.

The cavalry of the Qi army came and went quickly. In less than a moment, more than 5000 cavalry disappeared under the dark night sky in front of them like a storm, and finally turned into a faint line of fire, gradually drifting away.

Xiang Zhuang was the first to get up, and Wu Zhima, who was firmly held down by him, also struggled to turn over and got up, raised his head and sneezed loudly, spraying out a large amount of dust inhaled into his nasal cavity, and then silently Looking back, looking at the night sky in the south, two drops of crystal tears fell. Ma Tong is human, and Ma Zui is remembering his old master Xiang Yu.

"Quick, get up, get up, get out of here immediately!" Not far away, Uncle Xiang's voice sounded.

Although Xiang Yu had clearly appointed Xiang Zhuang as the General of Chu State to lead the entire army, it seemed that Bo Xiang had no intention of obeying this king's order at all, because he refused to obey at all, so before Xiang Zhuang gave the order, Bo Xiang had already ordered The remnants of his headquarters then took the road to the north. Xiang Zhuang knew that Xiang Bo was going to lead his army to surrender to Han.

Obviously, Xiang Bo believed that Chu's demise was inevitable.

Seeing Xiang Bo leading his troops out, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhong Limei, Yu Ziqi, and Xiao Gongjiao also led their troops to accompany him.

At this time, Xiang Zhuang was only a general of the Chu State in name, and he did not have a truly convincing record. It was not easy for these battle-tested veterans to bow their heads to him, even if he was born with supernatural power. Xiang Yu was not born a convincing commander, and his prestige was gradually established on the battlefield.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, Jing Qian and Gao Chu came to Xiang Zhuang hand in hand.

"General, what should we do now?" Seeing the Chu army leaving one after another, Jing Qian couldn't help feeling anxious. Among the remaining more than 4000 remnants of the Chu army, perhaps only Jing Qian, Gao Chu, and more than 200 soldiers were the real soldiers. Those who obey Xiang Zhuang, because these more than 200 elites all crawled out of the dead with Xiang Zhuang, belong to absolute cronies.

"Let's go too, let's go with them!" Xiang Zhuang quickly made a decision, and now he can't turn his back on Xiang Bo, and it's not the time to make a killing. The most urgent thing is to leave Yemayuan as soon as possible and transfer to a relatively safe place as soon as possible. , until then, it will not be too late to try to eradicate Xiang Bo and establish prestige.

At dawn, Guan Ying's army finally caught up with Xiang Yu's remnants.

"Look, general, the cavalry of the Chu army!" General Li Bi suddenly pointed forward and shouted.

"Huh?" When Guan Ying looked anxiously, he saw a large group of cavalry fleeing across the mountains and plains in front of him. Suddenly, Guan Ying shouted excitedly, "Xiang Yu, that must be Xiang Yu's remnant!" Guan Ying shouted again with a ferocious face, "Order the whole army to speed up, catch up and kill them all!"

"Promise!" Dozens of cavalry suddenly agreed, and immediately scattered away.

Guan Ying's order was issued immediately, and more than 5000 cavalrymen waved their whips one after another, and started the final sprint!

On the other hand, most of the Chu army in front of them was exhausted. From time to time, the Chu army cavalry fell behind and were left alone, and were soon overwhelmed by the Qi army cavalry pouring in like a tide.

"Woo..." Xiang Yu stopped the horse lightly, and then slowly turned the horse's head.

I can't go any further, and I can't go any further, because the vast Wujiang River is in front of me, and the icy river is rolling eastward in the bleak north wind, sad and lonely.

Looking around, there are only the last 28 riders left.

At this moment, Xiang Yu's mood is not only sad?Starting from Wuzhong, leading [-] disciples to cross the Wujiang River, Xiang Yu has experienced hundreds of battles and killed countless enemies in his life. How could he have thought that he would end up in such a desperate situation today?Five years ago, he was enshrined all over the world, and he was respected as the overlord by the world. Looking back now, it seems that it was just yesterday that good fortune made people come to such a state.

On the horizon ahead, the cavalry of the Qi Army are rushing all over the mountains and plains, like a swarm of ants.

Taking a breath, Xiang Yu's eyes suddenly filled with endless murderous intent. Wanting my Xiang Yu's head is not so easy!
The next moment, Xiang Yu got off his horse, stretched out his hand and slapped the horse's butt, and drove the mount into the distance, then looked back at the 28 cavalry behind him, and shouted sharply: "Do you dare to follow alone?"

28 Qi suddenly agreed, and there was no sign of flinching in his expression.

Xiang Yu nodded happily, then turned around slowly, and immediately raised his big iron halberd to meet the cavalry of the Qi army rushing forward. Behind Xiang Yu, 28 cavalry also got off their horses one after another, raised their long halberds and swore to follow.

Ahead, seeing that Xiang Yu led 28 people to launch an attack on his own initiative, the cavalry of the Qi army who were rushing forward also stopped their horses one after another, turned over and dismounted, and raised their long halberds and big swords one after another. , while shouting loudly: "Your Majesty has an order, whoever wins Xiang Yu's head will be named Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

All the cavalry officers who heard Wang Yi's voice cheered like a tsunami.

Wang Yi waved his sword again and pressed forward, thousands of cavalry officers and soldiers held up their spears, swords and halberds, screaming, and rushed towards Xiang Yu on foot. It seemed a little strange that they were cavalry, but they chose to dismount. war?In fact, this is not surprising at all, because the cavalry in this era is just infantry on horseback.

In the north, on the Wild Horse Plains.

Concubine Yu, who was heading north silently, seemed to have sensed something, and when she looked back suddenly, there was endless sadness in those beautiful and suffocating eyes, Your Majesty, farewell...

##########
On the bank of the Wujiang River, Xiang Yu was already under siege.

The 28 people accompanying him, including Xiang Yu's younger brother Xiang Sheng, had already been chopped into meat by Qi soldiers. Under the temptation of Wan Huhou, thousands of Qi soldiers were like a pack of wild wolves who saw their prey. They flocked to Xiang Yu endlessly, the Qi soldiers in front fell down and were killed, and those behind them swarmed up again.

Facing thousands of troops, Xiang Yu was unafraid, holding a sword in his left hand and a halberd in his right, as if fighting fiercely.

"Go to hell!" Xiang Yu yelled violently, and the iron halberd in his right hand roared and swept across. A dozen or so Qi soldiers who rushed forward screamed and fell into a pool of blood. Two of the soldiers were cut into two by the iron halberd. Suddenly, the five viscera and the blood gushed out, instantly turning red on the battlefield, but the man was still breathing, and was mourning and screaming.

"Xiang Yu, don't be crazy!" A Qi army captain came out of the crowd, swinging his sword and rushing towards Xiang Yu.

"I'm looking for death!" Xiang Yu sneered coldly, shook his right hand violently, and the big iron halberd weighing more than a hundred catties burst into a clear and clear clanging sound, and immediately chopped out like a whirlwind.

Lieutenant Qi, who swung his sword and rushed forward, felt a blur in front of his eyes, and before he could react, he felt himself flying up suddenly.

The man was in the air, but Captain Qi was horrified to find that his body was still on the ground, and he was still in the posture of swinging his sword forward, but there was a human head missing on the neck of the body. Wei was shocked immediately, but before he could turn his head around, the cold darkness had swallowed him up forever.

Xiang Yu chopped off the head of Xiangshang, the captain of the Qi Army Academy, with a single halberd, and fell into the rebellious army like a tiger into a flock of sheep.

Wherever Xiang Yu passed, the formation of the Qi army was split like waves, from the leading generals down to the small soldiers, no one could stop him for a moment. He returned to the riverside from the formation and repeated it four times, killing more than [-] people in the formation. The Qi army looked at each other in amazement, and no one dared to step forward easily.

However, Xiang Yu began to gasp violently with the spur of the halberd. After all, he was not a man of iron. After fighting for so long, his physical strength had already been exhausted to the limit. However, there were more and more Qi soldiers around him. At this moment, Xiang Yu felt calm in his heart. Since there is no hope of breaking through, let's end it like this.

Suddenly, Xiang Yu saw a familiar face in the Qi army formation.

Xiang Yu took a few steps forward holding the halberd, and asked in surprise, "Isn't that Lu Yan?"

Lu Yan, also known as Lu Ma Tong, was Xiang Yu's groom from the beginning of Xiang Liang Wuzhong's army, that is, Ma Tong. Xiang Yu destroyed Qin and made the princes. Chu Touhan.

Seeing Xiang Yu again before the battle, Lu Yan couldn't help feeling ashamed and dared not confront him head-on.

But Xiang Yu said indifferently: "I heard that Han Xin's son has ordered that the one who gets the lonely head will be named the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, isn't it?"

Before Lu Yan could answer, Wang Yi, the cavalry doctor next to him, hurriedly said, "That's right, Xiang Yu, you are already dead!"

"Hahaha..." Xiang Yu laughed a few times up to the sky, and then said to Lu Yan, "Lu Yan, I didn't make you a Marquis before I was born, so I will grant you once after I die. The head of Gu is here, come and get it." After finishing speaking, Xiang Yu turned the sword and halberd horizontally, twisted it against his neck, and a head rolled to Lu Yan's feet.

"King Xiang!" Lu Yan's expression was tragic, his knees softened and he fell to the dust.
