Competing

Chapter 541 Dead time has come
After a brief confrontation, the Han army finally took the first step and launched an attack on Longqie's troops in the Western Chu Kingdom.

Long Qi immediately responded to the battle calmly, and the battle was well organized and evenly matched.With complicated feelings, Long Qie never rushed in personally, this time he had to be brave and resourceful.He carefully observed the situation on the battlefield, trying to find some clues and find out a strategy to defeat the enemy.

Soon, Longqiu found that the situation on his side seemed to be not very good.The reason is that the Han army charged too bravely.

The Han army was not so brave, and each of them seemed to be desperate, slashing and killing them selflessly with their long swords.Long Qi was greatly surprised by this. The Han army's bravery was limited. How had it ever reached this level? What motivated them to keep attacking?With the limited quality of soldiers, it must have stimulated their morale to have such an effect.

Not long after, Long Qie thought he had found the reason. He discovered that Han Xin, Marshal of the Han Army, actually crossed the river to supervise the battle.The banner was fluttering, and Han Xin, dressed in soft white armor, calmly stood under the banner, commanding the soldiers and horses to fight.In the past, Long Qi had met Han Xin. Even though Han Xin was unknown at the time, he was with Yin Xu, so he was deeply impressed.

No wonder the Han army is so brave, Han Xin's status among the Han army in Qidi is like an emperor.He personally led the army to fight, which is tantamount to a personal conquest by the emperor, and the morale of the soldiers must be greatly boosted.Throughout the ages, there has never been a lack of such examples.

No wonder ah no wonder!It seems that Han Xin really thinks highly of himself, and at the same time, he is too reckless. "The Royal Conquest"?Looking down on me is also underestimating me, Long Qi coldly snorted.Although the Han army's offensive was fierce, the Chu army was only at a disadvantage.But in an instant, he saw an excellent opportunity, an opportunity to turn defeat into victory and win a big victory.

Long Qi immediately mobilized the army and counterattacked with all his strength. There was only one target, and that was Han Xin, Marshal of the Han Army.This battle does not care about the results of the battle with the Han army, the only goal is Han Xin.As long as Han Xin is taken down, the Han army without a coach will undoubtedly be in a state of disunity, and there is nothing to worry about.

The Chu army's goal was very clear, and they all rushed towards Han Xin's Chinese army banner.

Longqi has already ordered that as long as he rushes into the Han army, he will be rewarded with [-] gold; Report to Fenghou.This is an unprecedented reward and encouragement from the Western Chu Kingdom. Now Longqi can be said to be fighting, everything is for victory.

With a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. After receiving Long Qi's promise, all the soldiers of the Western Chu Kingdom were a little bit excited.At the same time, they also knew what it meant to attack Han Xin, and they were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.As a result, the army of the Western Chu Kingdom charged forward one after another like a tide, with an extremely clear goal, rushing towards Han Xin's central army banner.

The high-morale Han army finally met its opponent, and the Chu and Han armies fought with all their strength, forming a stalemate.

Standing under the big banner, Han Xin watched the Chu army's crazy attack, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the bait has been bitten enough, very good!Long Qie did not disappoint, and Han Xin was very excited.

When the Chu army besieged its own marshal, the soldiers of the Han army naturally refused to agree, and they naturally defended with all their strength. The two armies formed a stalemate battle on the bank of Weishui.Maybe the soldiers of the Western Chu State were motivated by the reward from the Marquis, or maybe they wanted to kill and beat the enemy Han Xin too much.All in all, they rushed over wave after wave.Countless soldiers of the Chu army fell down, and the soldiers behind rushed forward, stepping on the corpses of their comrades and yelling, and came forward to kill them.Scenes like this were being staged on the battlefield, with blood and corpses all over the ground.The Chu army is like this, and the Han army is still like this.However, the Han army seemed a little overwhelmed by the momentum of the Western Chu State, and they were still stubbornly resisting at first, but gradually they seemed to be unable to support it.Especially when the casualties continued to increase and the Xichu soldiers became more frantic, this state continued to spread.

The situation on the battlefield gradually began to favor the Western Chu Kingdom, and Long Qi looked at such a good situation with a gloomy and smug smile on his lips.Han Xin, oh Han Xin, you are too big, since you are looking for death yourself, then don't blame others.Immediately shouted and mobilized the Chu army to rush towards the still standing big banner, and the shouts of killing were louder and louder.The most forward soldiers of the Western Chu Kingdom were much closer to the banner, and victory seemed to be much closer.

In the beginning, facing the frenzied charge of the Western Chu army, Han Xin stood still under the big banner with a calm face, always looking unmoved by the collapse of the mountain.Marshal Han is calm, this is what he has practiced on the battlefield for a long time.However, the generals of the personal guards were not calm anymore. The two generals Li Zuoche and Guanying were not there. The Chu army charged so hard, but Marshal Han had some problems. What should we do?Especially the fierce fighting in front of him. Following Marshal Han all the way to kill the enemy and destroy the country, it seems that he has never seen such a tragic scene. The shock in his heart is extremely strong, and at the same time, he can't help but feel a little timid.

"Marshal, the Chu army is really charging too hard, you should avoid going back to the camp for now!" General Wu Dong of the personal guard stepped forward to persuade him, he didn't know Han Xin's arrangements and strategies for this battle.At the same time, he also expressed doubts and opposition to Han Xin personally leading the army to fight, but Han Xin's attitude is firm, and his objection is directly invalid. The only thing he can do is to protect Marshal Han.The situation is too critical now, he feels obliged to remind Han Xin.

Han Xin waved his hand and said: "What are you afraid of when there is a large army here to protect you? This commander will never retreat!"

"But..." Wu Dong Xinshuo has an army to protect him, but it depends on the situation, the army will soon be overwhelmed.

"Nothing but!" Han Xin's cold tone cannot be questioned.

However, the situation seemed to be getting worse and worse. The Chu army's attack became more and more fierce, while the Han army's defense seemed to become more and more lax. The Chu army gradually approached Dazhu.In some parts of the defense line, gaps were even opened at one point.

The general of the personal guard army noticed that Marshal Han's face was getting more and more gloomy, and there were even slight beads of sweat on his forehead.Wu Dong seems to have never seen Marshal Han so calm, could it be...

"Could it be that Marshal Han is afraid?" Wu Dong speculated in his heart, everyone would be afraid of the situation in front of him, even Marshal Han was no exception.Especially now that he has a noble status and can be said to be a man of gold, how could he easily take risks.Maybe Marshal Han wants to retreat?It's just that he has said such a thing just now, and I'm afraid he won't be able to save face now.Wu Dong guessed that maybe he should help Marshal Han to get out of the siege.In any case, it is necessary to persuade Han Xin to retreat as much as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome if something goes wrong.

"Marshal, the situation is urgent and there are a lot of stray arrows. To be on the safe side, let's go to the back camp for a while!" Wu Dong stepped forward to persuade again.

"This..." Han Xin glanced at Wu Dong, hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright!"

Wu Dong smiled in his heart, it seems that he guessed right, Marshal Han's step is not bad, but he is afraid that he will lose this battle.

But these big things are not something that a small bodyguard can decide. His duty has always been to protect Marshal Han.

Han Xin withdrew, but fortunately, the arrangement was relatively proper, and there was no confusion at the beginning. After a group of soldiers and horses died desperately, they stopped the soldiers of Chu State from approaching.Han Xin left triumphantly, and then the big banner of the Han army retreated. The big banner is the symbol of the coach Han Xin, and it is the backbone of the soldiers of the Han army.Marshal Han retreated, so no matter how he fought this battle, the soldiers of the Han army finally started to get a little confused.However, the order has been issued, at least to cover Marshal Han's smooth departure as much as possible.

Long Qi had been watching the situation on the front line from behind the formation, and when he saw Han Xin's banner retreating, a stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "What? Han Xin, you can't hold on any longer?"

The charge without counting sacrifices finally achieved results, and the defeat of the Han army had already appeared, so Long Qi was naturally very happy and excited.But even if this battle is won, what's the point?It just killed the soldiers of the Han army and hit the morale of the Han army.Unless Han Xin is captured or beheaded, the battle between Chu, Han and Qi can be won this time, which is of great significance to Western Chu.

Now that the Han army was defeated, Han Xin fled under the escort of his own soldiers. It can be said that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How could Long Qi give up so easily, and immediately called out to mobilize the soldiers to chase and kill Han Xin.This is the only chance to capture or kill Han Xin alive, and it must be seized firmly.

But just as Long Qie was on his head, a basin of cold water was poured over.At this time Xiang Sheng leaned over and said, "General Long, be careful of fraud!"

"What's the fraud?" Long Qie didn't understand, and asked in a panic. At this moment, he was only thinking about how to intercept and kill Han Xin.

Xiang Sheng approached and said, "General Long, Han Xin has always been full of tricks. How could he be so careless today and personally lead the army to supervise the battle? Why did he put himself in a dangerous situation? Now the Han army is still showing signs of retreating. Will it be possible?" What kind of conspiracy? It's better to be careful."

"I think you were frightened by Han Xin. How can there be any conspiracy? Is the current Han Xin the same as the former Han Xin? With the current record, he also has a lot of trust. Today is a golden opportunity. It is a matter of me to eliminate Han Xin in one fell swoop. The Western Chu Kingdom is alive and dead, and there is no room for hesitation!" Long Qie's attitude was very resolute, and he didn't care what Xiang Sheng said at all.

"But……"

Xiang Sheng was about to say something just now, but was interrupted by Long Qie without hesitation: "There is nothing but, you hurry up to organize and deal with those Han troops, I will personally go after Han Xin, don't let this opportunity pass."

Now the arrow is on the string and has to be launched. The soldiers of Chu State, stimulated by blood and rewards, rushed to kill with incomparable bravery. It is impossible to stop at this time.It can only be a vigorous effort to fight for a bigger battle.

Without waiting for Xiang Sheng's answer, Long Qi rode his horse and led a troop of soldiers and horses to chase them out.Xiang Sheng shook his head helplessly, went to rectify the soldiers and horses, and fought with the Han army, praying silently in his heart: I hope Long Qie is right.

Although the Han army was on the verge of being defeated, they never really retreated. It may be because they were covering the escape of the commander Han Xin. They all resisted desperately and blocked the Western Chu State's pursuers.As a result, it was impossible for many people to chase Han Xin, and they were all blocked on the battlefield.In the end, only Long Qie was the only one who succeeded in chasing and killing Han Xin, and the number of them was only a few thousand.

Han Xin retreated quickly, as if he had completely lost his demeanor and courage as the generalissimo of the Han army, and looked a little embarrassed.Long Qi also pursued very closely, as long as he catches up with Han Xin, it will be a great victory, and the West Chu Kingdom can also be freed from the current predicament.Therefore, it can be said that the dragon did not stop at all. Even if the main force did not catch up, it rashly led the army to chase and kill.One reason is that Han Xin seems to have only a few personal soldiers around him, so how could he miss such a great opportunity.

Furthermore, he was originally an impatient person, and his previous caution was considered a great restraint.It was precisely because of restraint that he suppressed the impatience in his heart, and now it broke out because of the good opportunity to hunt down Han Xin.Just like a spring, it was suppressed too hard before, so now it rebounds even harder.It can be said that Long Qi doesn't care about anything now, and there is only one thing in his mind - chasing and killing Han Xin.

Long Qie chased and killed him all the way, and finally came to the Weishui River, where he thought he could intercept and kill Han Xin.But he didn't expect Han Xin to cross the river. When he came to the river, Long Qie found that the river was very shallow. Maybe it was because of the dry season in winter, and a lot of river sand was exposed outside.

Because Han Xin was not far ahead, he could see his embarrassment. Long Qi didn't think too much about it. He completely forgot that the snow had melted recently, and he didn't notice why the exposed river sand was so wet and muddy. Ma Guohe chased and killed the horse all the way.When people are in a hurry, they don't care about many things, and now Longji has fallen into a kind of crazy behavior.

After crossing the river, he ran for two or three miles, but he was almost on the verge of catching up, so Long Qi couldn't help pushing forward and speeding up his pursuit.A small hill appeared in front of them, and Han Xin disappeared from their field of vision for a brief moment.Long Qi and the others couldn't help being a little anxious. If Han Xin slipped away from under their noses, it would be a waste of money.

When Long Qie led his army up the hill, Han Xin appeared in his eyes again.However, it was quite different from before. I saw Han Xin turning around calmly, completely without the previous embarrassment, looking at him with a gentle smile, and behind him was the Han army lined up neatly.

"No, it's a trick!" Long Qie's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, there was still something he didn't understand. It was indeed a trick of the Han army to lure the enemy.

At this moment, a group of people surrounded him from behind, and the leading member shouted, "Long Qi, your time of death has arrived!"
