Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 88
On the main road, Zhou Bo was leading an army of more than ten thousand people to rush eastward along the Huan River.

Two hours ago, Zhou Bo had just received a message from Mei Yan's flying cavalry, saying that the Chu army was likely to flee from Jipu across the Huan River to the east. The army has fallen into the trap of the Han army, so they rushed eastward desperately, trying to break out.

It has to be admitted that Xiang Zhuang and Wei Liao's eyes are still very sharp.

Crossing the Huan River from Jipu has virtually destroyed the encirclement network of the six-way Han army, because the Han army has only two choices if they want to cross the Huan River, either cross the river from the shallow water of Jipu, or collect ships Crossing the river, but no matter which option you choose, the six-way Han army will take time. When the Han army crosses the river, it will fall behind the Chu army, and the entire encirclement network will no longer exist.

Now, Zhou Bo only hoped that Mei Yan's army could hold back the Chu army, or at least keep the Chu army west of Jipu!

Once the Chu army is allowed to pass through the thorns, it will not be so easy to encircle them into the encirclement net of the six-way Han army, because the east bank of the Huan River is sparsely populated, and there are large forests everywhere. With enough cover, it would be extremely difficult for the Han army to grasp their whereabouts in time.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bo couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and immediately ordered Zhou Guanfu: "Guanfu, order the whole army, and must arrive at Jipu before dark today!"

"No!" Zhou Guanfu suddenly agreed, and immediately took the order.

At this time, Mei Yan's army was less than twenty miles away from Jipu!
"Report..." Amidst the rapid sound of horseshoes, a flying cavalry galloped back from the road ahead, and before they could get close, the scout cavalry on horseback shouted incomparably mournfully, "General, the Chu army is attacking the thorns!" Puyi!"

Mei Yan wiped off the sweat mixed with mud on his forehead, panted and asked, "How is the situation now?"

The scout cavalry clasped their hands together and said, "Report to the general, the two armies are still fighting fiercely, and there is no winner yet!"

"Explore again!" Mei Yan waved his hand to fend off the scouting cavalry, and then turned around and shouted, "Order the whole army, speed up, whoever can reach the thornbush within half an hour will be rewarded with a thousand dollars!"

"The general has an order to arrive at Jipu within half an hour, and I will be rewarded with a thousand dollars!"

"The general has an order to arrive at Jipu within half an hour, and I will be rewarded with a thousand dollars!"

"The general has an order to arrive at Jipu within half an hour, and I will be rewarded with a thousand dollars!"

Mei Yan's order quickly spread throughout the entire army, and the already exhausted generals of the Han army immediately lifted their spirits. Encouraged by the reward, they all gritted their teeth and started the final sprint!

In Jipu City, the fierce battle is in full swing.

Jing Qian's blood was soaked through his heavy armor, and he had already retreated into the formation of soldiers. With a large shield in his left hand and a horizontal knife in his right hand, he was slashing wildly at the Hengshan soldiers in front of him.

On the left and right sides of Jingqian, nearly a hundred heavily armored soldiers leaned sideways and shouldered heavy shields, forming a solid and thick shield wall. They were slowly advancing forward with an unstoppable momentum. Some pawns were stabbed by the swords and halberds of the Han army, and they screamed and fell in a pool of blood, but soon there were pawns on top, keeping the front shield wall intact.

Nearly a hundred soldiers with long halberds hid behind the shield wall, stabbing, stabbing, stabbing again and again!
In the back, more heavy armored soldiers and long halberd soldiers are waiting in formation. Once the soldiers in front are exhausted or injured and killed in battle, they will immediately step up to fill the gap. Further back, five hundred auxiliary light soldiers are doing it repeatedly. Doing the same thing: step back, run up, sprint, and then throw the javelin forward!

The two armies are like two ferocious monsters in iron armor, fighting madly!
Batches of soldiers of the Han army rushed forward screaming, picking with halberds, slashing with swords, bumping with shoulders, and smashing with shields. They frantically destroyed the shield wall of the Chu army, trying to crush the wall that allowed them to fight. The steel heavy wall that feels fear, but this is futile at all, no matter how they hit, they can't stop the movement of this steel heavy wall.

"Roar!" A Sima of the Han army slammed his round sledgehammer violently at the large shield of the opposite Chu army.

There was a "click" sound, and the huge square shield wrapped in iron shattered immediately. The iron helmet of the military soldier was suddenly dented by the smash, and the head protected by the helmet was crushed to pieces in an instant, and a canopy of bone and meat fragments shot out directly from the dark eye hole , Right in front of Sima of the Han army.

Sima of the Han army stuck out his tongue and licked the broken bones and meat at the corner of his mouth, and immediately raised his head and let out a strange laugh.

However, soon, another soldier of the Chu army bravely stepped forward and filled the gap left by the fallen soldier. Almost at the same time, four cold halberds had already thrust out from behind the shield wall. Sima dodged in a hurry, but he was severely hindered by the soldiers of the Han army on the left and right, and he couldn't dodge them all!

In the blink of an eye, a long halberd pierced through the side of Sima's neck, and the sharp twig cut open his jugular artery. , The bright red blood spurted out from the open wound like a fountain, and soon Sima's eyes dimmed.

The next moment, another long halberd pierced the Han army Sima's wide-open mouth fiercely, and the sharp cross blade cut the Han army Sima's head into two pieces along the root of the teeth, and the upper half of the skull was cut off instantly. Flying, until flying more than ten steps away, a lump of brains slipped down from the severed skull cavity.

"Ahhh..." Another Sima of the Han army roared angrily, and jumped onto the shield wall suddenly.

The Sima of the Han army raised his sword and dropped it, and the soldiers of the Chu army who were behind the big shield immediately fell into a pool of blood.

The next moment, the six long halberds stabbed almost at the same time, nailing Sima of the Han Army to the air. , shot into the eye hole of a Chu army soldier, and the Chu army soldier fell into a pool of blood without making a sound.

Half an hour later, Mei Yan's army finally arrived ten miles away.

From a distance, Mei Yan could even see the entire battlefield. Thousands of armored soldiers of the Chu army had already mingled with the Han army in Jipuyi. The two armies were fighting fiercely, fighting to the death!Fortunately, Si Kouli's [-] elite soldiers have not yet collapsed, they are still persisting, and the fierce battle is still going on.

"Attack! The whole army attacks! Kill Xiang Zhuang, kill Xiang Zhuang..."

On the horseback, Mei Yan frantically swung his big sword, roaring frantically, like crazy.

Although the Han army had just gone through a long-distance march of hundreds of miles and urgently needed to rest and recover their strength, Mei Yan couldn't take care of that much anymore. The four thousand elite soldiers in front of Sikouli might collapse at any time. He had no time to rest and recover his strength. What's more, Chu Jun's physical strength will not be so strong.

"Attack! The whole army attacks! Kill Xiang Zhuang, kill Xiang Zhuang..."

Amidst Mei Yan's frantic roar, more than ten thousand Han soldiers gritted their teeth one after another, pulled up their remaining physical strength, and rushed towards Jipu City to cover up and kill all over the mountains and plains.

"Reinforcements have arrived, our reinforcements have arrived!"

Si Kouli had already seen Mei Yan's army approaching from a distance, and immediately roared with great excitement.

Excited, Si Kouli couldn't hold back anymore, he took two steps forward suddenly, and the big sword in his hand had already been stabbed out.

Just hearing a "click", Si Kouli's big sword had already pierced through the big shield of the Chu army soldier on the opposite side, and he pierced through the Chu army soldier behind the big shield without exhaustion. For a moment, a bone-piercing icy cold suddenly enveloped him, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a blood-soaked Chu general in heavy armor waving a long knife and rushing towards him.

"Damn it!" Si Kouli suddenly raised the wooden shield in his left hand, and used the edge of the shield to meet General Chu's sword.

However, the sharpness of General Chu's long sword was far beyond imagination. Si Kouli's wooden shield was completely cut off with just a sound of "呲". The forearm of his left hand was cut off, and Si Kouli screamed like a slaughtered pig. He was dying, and the iron fist of his right hand was already violently blasting towards General Chu's face.

General Chu turned his head sideways, avoiding the door but was still hit on the cheek by Si Kou Li's iron fist.

Hearing the sound of "ge pop", a piece of General Chu's iron helmet was dented, his visor fell off suddenly, and two big blood-stained teeth shot out from General Chu's open bloody mouth...

General Chu was hit hard suddenly, but he still slashed with his instinct.

"Aw..." Si Kouli wailed miserably again, but Chu Jiang cut off his left leg at the knee with his swirling knife. Si Kouli, who lost the support of his left leg, immediately fell to the ground, before he could get up, Four long halberds had pierced out from behind the Chu army's shield wall, piercing four bloody holes in his back at once.

Chu General Jing Qian struggled to get up, shook his dazed head, and was about to fight again, but found that the Han army in front of him was retreating like the ebb tide, and many Han troops followed the Huan River. The river bank fled, but more Han troops hurriedly rushed to the depths of the Huan River, trying to escape by wading across the river.

Jing Qian was panting violently, unable to react for a while.

The heavily armored soldiers behind Jing Qian cheered like a landslide and tsunami: "The Han army is defeated!"

"The Han army is defeated!"

"The Han army is defeated!"

"The Han army is defeated!"

The cheers of the heavily armored soldiers instantly spread throughout the river beach.

The next moment, all the soldiers of the Chu army cheered, and the huge sound went straight to the sky.

Ten miles away, the more than ten thousand Han troops who were sprinting with all their strength slowed down their progress one after another. The Han army was defeated? !
On the river beach, Xiang Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and took a deep look at the surging Mei Yan army, then turned his head and told Gongsun Sui, "Order the whole army to ford across the river."
