Competing

Chapter 103 Chapter [-]
In the early morning of autumn, Dingtao was very foggy.

Zhang Han stood on a small hill outside the city, the milky white mist shrouded the ground, and only a vague figure could be seen within five feet.A sentinel came over vaguely. It was really not easy to grasp the road so accurately under such visibility.

"General, the Chu army has left the city to break through!" The sentinel stopped in front of Zhang Han and knelt down to report.

He fought for more than [-] cities in Qi State, and now he has beaten Xiang Liang, the general of Chu State, which is terrible. This general of Qin State can be described as high-spirited and proud.Hearing the report from his subordinates, he stroked his goatee and asked with a smile, "All out of the city? Where can we break out from?"

The sentry replied respectfully: "General, all of them have left the city. As you expected, the Chu army broke through from the north gate!"

Zhang Ping beside him said with a smile: "Brother, as you expected, this old Xiang Liang really broke through from the north."

Zhang Han said with a smile: "What's the matter? Tian Rong and Song Yi refused to rescue, and Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were thousands of miles away. How long can he persist alone? If you don’t break through, there is only one dead end. There are heavy guards on both sides of the southwest, and Juyeze is on the east. If you want to escape, you can only go from the north.”

Zhang Ping sneered and said: "Qi people and Chu people are really hopeless. Song Yi did not hesitate to sell his country's interests and put Xiang Liang to death in order to fight for power inside. Seeing death without saving him is a disgrace to the world!"

Zhang Han sighed softly: "If it weren't for this, the battle would not have been so smooth. That's probably why treacherous ministers wronged the country!" He was talking about Qi and Chu, but Zhang Han couldn't help but think of Qin, and now Zhao Gao in Xianyang is alone He is so big that he treats a deer as a horse, and the chaos of the government has reached the point where it cannot be added.Although he led the army outside, he was also worried.

"Let the whole army get ready, use Beigou as the boundary, and ambush the Chu army who broke through!" Zhang Han quickly recovered from his sigh, and issued the first order of the day.

Zhang Ping couldn't bear to laugh and said: "Brother has a clever plan, the Chu people don't know that they just fell into the trap, just wait for the whole army to be wiped out! Xiang Liang's encounter is considered to be a fall, but it is not wrong to fall into the hands of the elder brother!"

Zhang Han scolded with a smile: "Okay, go and prepare for the ambush!"

In the thick fog, while Zhang Ping left angrily, Xiang Liang was quietly moving forward with more than 1 surviving Chu troops.Going all the way out of the north gate, avoid making noise as much as possible along the way, so as to alert the Qin defenders.

The Chu army's goal was Beigou, seven miles north of the city, where a large river flowed directly into Jishui.As long as you pass through there smoothly, it will be much easier to escape.After crossing the river, they will not shoot the Qin army to block the road and encircle and wipe them out.

Xiang Liang knew very well in his heart that he knew that the thick fog was conducive to breaking out of the siege, and Zhang Han also knew it.So he will definitely step up his defense, so he must deal with it carefully. This is destined to be a desperate fight for life and dignity.The Chu army's scouts were ordered to explore the road carefully, and found nothing unusual along the way. Zhong Li, the vanguard in the lead, couldn't help being excited, and took the lead to open the road to Beigou.

After all, Xiang Liang is a veteran in the battlefield, with rich experience and scheming skills.When I learned that the journey was smooth, not only was there no trace of joy, but a trace of hidden worry floated up in my heart. Being too peaceful is itself a kind of unrest.Perhaps this is the calm before the storm, which makes people extra depressing and worrying.Even so, the Chu army was too eager to break through, so they turned around and went back?Stand still?It's impossible.Instead of this, it is better to rush forward without hesitation, life or death is destined.

Sometimes knowing that the road ahead is bumpy, you have to go through the waves without hesitation, even if the road ahead is full of dangers.At this time, Xiang Liang was probably in such a state of mind, he had no choice.

All the way carefully, gradually approaching Beigou, all the Chu soldiers couldn't help feeling a burst of joy in their hearts.Crossing the Beigou means safety and survival, a kind of joy, longing, and tension pervades the heart.

Zhong Limei led the vanguard and walked ahead. When he reached the Beigou River, there was no abnormality. When he crossed the river safely, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.The sentinel signaled that it was safe and clear to Xiang Liang behind.

When the brigade of beaming Chu troops walked to the edge of Beigou, things backfired, and the sentry cavalry leading the way were the first to notice the abnormality.The moment the arrow was hit, a warning signal was issued, Chu Jun was shocked, and Xiang Liang's heart sank instantly.When Zhong Limo realized that something was wrong, it was too late, and the rain of arrows and shouts of killing came from both sides of Beigou.

After all, Zhang Han is Zhang Han, and the ambush position is placed at the Beigou position with the most boundary significance. The Chu army must be on guard along the way.When they arrived at Beigou, the tense attention would inevitably relax, and there would even be a kind of secret joy, especially when letting the pioneer Chu army cross the river, it gave the Chu army an illusion.So in this ambush, there was a lot more surprise, attacking the unprepared.

Although Xiang Liang was nervous and heavy, he did not panic. He calmly commanded the Chu army to break out of Beigou at all costs.At this time, only by crossing the river with all one's strength, there is still a chance of escape.

The water in the Beigou was not deep, and the river was cold in autumn, and soldiers from Qin and Chu stepped into it without hesitation.The purpose of the Chu army was to escape, and the purpose of the Qin army was to encircle them. After the hand-to-hand combat, the crossbow arrows lost their effect.

On both sides of Beigou, the sound of Qin and Chu soldiers' swords clashing could be heard endlessly, and blood spattered.There are countless corpses with severed limbs floating in the Beigou River, so that the river was once stagnant.The splattered blood almost dyed the milky mist red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Xiao Gongjiao led his own soldiers to guard Xiang Liang and walked forward with difficulty. After paying a huge price of casualties, he finally crossed Beigou.At the same time as they landed, countless Qin troops rushed up, Xiao Gongjiao desperately guarded, and the breakout seemed to have failed.The troops dispatched were almost desperate, and at this moment, the sky-shattering shouts of killing sounded in the northeast.

In despair, Chu Jun looked up and listened.

"Yin Xu is here!"

"Yin Xu is here!"

"Yin Xu is here!"

Zhongli Mo said pleasantly: "It's coming from the east, it's coming from the east, reinforcements have arrived!"

"The rescue has arrived, the reinforcements have arrived! General Yin is here to rescue, it is General Yin!" Chu Jun was overjoyed, and when he learned that the heroic General Yin came to rescue, his morale was immediately boosted and he fought hard.

Xiao Gongjiao bled all over his body, ran to Xiang Liang out of breath, and said happily: "Marshal, General Yin's reinforcements are here, we are saved!"

Unexpectedly, Xiang Liang didn't have the slightest feeling of joy, Xiao Gongjiao immediately noticed it, and when he looked over carefully, his smile froze immediately.

The last scene I want to see.Xiang Liang was pale and extremely weak.An arrow was shot in the chest at some point, and drops of blood dripped from the wound.

"Marshal?" Xiao Gongjiao exclaimed in surprise.

God's will tricks people, Xiang Liang was injured by an arrow at the moment when the reinforcements arrived...
