Competing

Chapter 102 Chapter [-] Breakout and Rescue

Because it is located next to Jishui River, the vast water waves of Juye Ze are on the side, and the steaming water vapor is getting thicker and thicker.Since the middle of the night, there has been a thick autumn fog around Dingtao.

Dingtao City was looming in the mist, and Xiang Liang on the top of the city looked at the milky white, feeling very heavy.As a general of the state of Chu, this time he led his army north to fight against Qin, with all his heart on the overall situation.The State of Qi was attacked by Zhang Han and asked for help everywhere. Xiang Liang thought that he must be rescued.After capturing Yongqiu and defeating Li You, he set off for Qi State immediately.I didn't expect that my enthusiasm would not be rewarded, and I fell into a dilemma because things backfired.

As soon as he entered Qi State with 30 Chu troops with high morale, Zhang Han did not hesitate to give up Qi State, which had captured more than [-] cities.Neither take advantage of the victory to pursue.He immediately turned around and fought back, attacking the Chu army led by him with all his strength, and encountered him by the bank of Juyeze.

Xiang Liang was a little surprised by this situation, but he was a descendant of a famous family and a veteran in the battlefield after all.Facing the ferocious Qin army, he did not panic, calmly commanded the army to fight, retreated from Juyeze to Dingtao, and confronted it with Dingtao's strong city.

As time went by, Xiang Liang felt a little panicked—Song Yi's rescue was delayed.Xiang Liang realized that he was a little careless, a little overestimated Song Yi's character, believed his nonsense, and also a little overestimated the battlefield situation.

Despite this, he still sent a distress letter to Song Yi, Qi Guotian Rong and Pengcheng, hoping that someone would come to rescue and break out of the siege.He is only in his 50s this year, and he has just learned his destiny. He still has unrealized ambitions, and he is too unwilling to die at this time.

After repelling Zhang Han's fierce offensive again and again with difficulty, Dingtao's city wall has been damaged more, the army rations accumulated in the city are running out, and injured soldiers can be found everywhere.If there is no reinforcements, the city will be destroyed and the entire army will be wiped out. It is only a matter of time.Xiang Liang stood at the top of the city looking forward to it time and time again, but returned disappointed time and time again, and the reinforcements were never seen.

The envoy sent to ask for help narrowly escaped death and brought back news. Song Yi said that he was blocked by Sima Xin's troops and it was difficult to advance.But in fact, it was nothing more than the harassment of a small group of Qin troops.Hearing this statement, Xiang Liang smiled bitterly and helplessly.He was sure that Song Yi was delaying on purpose, and that the old man went so far in disregard of the overall situation, that his old life was over.The key is that treacherous ministers harmed the country, and the hope of revitalizing the great Chu may be shattered, and Chu's anti-Qin uprising may fail.

The other one is Qi Guotian Rong, which is really sad. He rushed to rescue him by himself, but he avenged him.Rescuing himself has to negotiate conditions, even thinking that Chu State proposed to kill Tianjia, otherwise he would refuse to send troops.In his eyes, a benefactor is not more important than a dispensable hatred, Xiang Liang hates it very much.

The hateful thing is that King Huai of Chu and Song Yi put forward a set of benevolence, righteousness and morality. If they don't kill Tianjia, a Tianjia is more important than themselves?Xiang Liang couldn't laugh or cry.That's all for Song Yi, Chuhuai King Xiong Xin is too disappointing, he has worked so hard to find him back, let him sit on the throne, and now he treats himself like this, extremely ungrateful.

"Marshal, it's foggy!" Zhong Limo came over and hesitated to speak.

Xiang Liang couldn't help sighing: "Yes, it's foggy!" His eyes were full of sadness as he spoke, and he paused for a moment: "Just say what you want to say!"

Zhongli said: "Marshal, the brothers suffered heavy casualties, and less than [-]% of them can continue to fight. I am afraid that Dingtao will not be able to hold on. Song Yi and Tian Rongyou refused to rescue, and the major general is still in Weidi, so there is no time to catch up." Come on, General Yin’s raid on Hebei has not been heard from until now, and there are no reinforcements. If we wait like this, I’m afraid it won’t work...Marshal, it’s foggy today, why don’t we take advantage of the thick fog to break through! Maybe There is still a ray of life!"

"That's right! Marshal, instead of sitting still and waiting for death, it's better to fight to the death, maybe we can fight a bloody way. General Lu Chen is on the periphery. If the two armies can successfully join forces, there is still great hope." It was Xiao Gongjiao who spoke, The two of them are the two generals that Xiang Liang brought with him this time.

Xiang Liang sighed and said, "Okay, get ready to break through! Lead the soldiers to fight for a way out, and even if you can't, you must fight Zhang Han to the death."

"No! The general will prepare now!" After Zhong Limo and Xiao Gongjiao left, Xiang Liang turned around with heavy steps. He was brave and strong, with many gray hairs and wrinkles on his forehead. A lot deeper, as if I aged ten years overnight.It can be seen how much pressure the siege of Dingtao put on him.

On the school field in the city, before breaking through, Marshal Xiang Liang came to make the last pre-war mobilization.

"Soldiers, the reinforcements have not come. Dingtao city has been damaged in many places, and the defense is no longer possible. The commander's office intends to fight to the last soldier, shed the last drop of blood, and die with the city! The commander-in-chief thought again. , It’s not worth it, we came to rescue the Qi people through all kinds of dangers, they will repay their kindness, and they will die instead of saving, is it necessary for us to continue to hold on to the city for them?”

"no!"

Chu Jun's answer was crisp and clear, and the hatred of the Qi people had been rooted in the hearts of every soldier.Word spread that Song Yi was stagnant and did not come to rescue, and the soldiers of Chu hated him deeply.

Xiang Liang continued: "We are the people of Great Chu, and we are soldiers of Great Chu. If we want to serve the country, we must keep it useful. Before the Qin army's offensive was strong, we could only rely on the city to resist and wait for rescue. Unfortunately, we did not wait for rescue. .We can't sit still, in order to return to our hometown, to see our relatives, we must break through!"

"Breakthrough!"

"Breakthrough!"

"Breakthrough!"

Chu Jun shouted from his heart, shouting out their most longed-for aspirations.A longing for life, a longing for hometown and longing for loved ones.

Xiang Liang said loudly: "Well, today's heavy fog is God's will. It is God helping us and creating opportunities for us to break through. The thick fog is so thick that the Qin army's defense line will inevitably be neglected. Now is a good time for us to break through! Only by fighting to the death can there be a way to survive. If you can't, you have to fight to the death with the people of Qin, even if you die, you will have to drag a few Qin soldiers to support you."

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Shocking shouts of killing sounded in the school grounds, arousing the will to survive of tens of thousands of Chu troops, arousing the killing intent of Chu troops.Breaking through is undoubtedly their last hope, and it is a battle of life and death.

Seeing this, Xiang Liang said in a loud voice: "Soldiers, go out with this commander and fight to the death with the people of Qin. If you are unfortunate enough to die for the country, the people of Great Chu will always remember us. The brave General Xiang Yu and countless great Chu warriors Will revenge us! Go, kill a bloody road."

In the thick fog and the sound of killing, the gate of Dingtao city was opened, and the Chu army was cautiously on guard, sneaked out of the city, and marched towards the north of the city.Zhang Han's main defense force is located in the southwest, and it is difficult to break through. To the east is the endless Juyeze, with no way out.Therefore, the direction to break out of the encirclement was to choose the north side, from then on to the edge of Jishui, if you can meet Lu Chen's army if you go west along the river, there is at least a [-]% chance of escaping.

What they didn't know was that it was also in a thick fog, and hundreds of boats were carefully moving in the thick fog on the surging Juyeze.It was Yin Xu who came to the rescue. After making a plan with Han Xin yesterday, Yin Xu immediately started preparations.

Thanks to Fan Bai's full help, relying on the powerful resources and strength of the Fan family, enough ships were gathered overnight.God is sorry, the heavy fog this morning gave them a chance to reach the other side without anyone noticing.

However, the heavy fog also brought inconvenience. Fortunately, the boatmen that Fan Bai recruited were first-class experts who knew the water conditions of Juye Ze very well, so they would not lose their way.Sitting on the bow of the boat, Yin Xu held onto the cut-off water tightly, looking at Dingtao City, which had completely disappeared in the mist, feeling extremely nervous. Can Dingtao hold on?Can Xiang Liang be saved?

In the mist, a life-and-death breakout and rescue is in full swing...
