Chapter 372 What is the use of mere reputation?(1/2)

Xiang Yu's arrival enhanced the momentum of the Chu army.

In an instant, thousands of troops gathered in the south of Yongcheng, with the Qin army being black and the Chu army being red and yellow. The two armies were about four hundred steps apart, and all stopped.

The gate on the south side of Yongcheng was also blocked by Zhou Yin using stones from a catapult and the body of the Chu army when Han Xin ordered it to open.

In other words, as long as Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army under the city, there was a great possibility of invading Yongcheng.

At this moment of tension, Xiang Yu rode on the horse, looking at Zhao Kun at the cityside from the distance, and said with a smile: "Zhao Kun, long time no see. I heard that you are dead. I have been happy for a few days. Why are you alive again?"

"Hahaha--"

As soon as Xiang Yu finished speaking, Zhao Kun's laughter rang out from the head of Yongcheng City.

The laughter was full of sarcasm.

Xiang Yu didn't care about this. After all, Zhao Kun's personality is like this, and he has long been used to it.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Yu put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Zhao Kun, Qin State has been destroyed, why do you have to make unnecessary struggles? As long as you surrender to me, I can leave it alone and make you king!"

"Oh~~"

Zhao Kun nodded as if he had realized it suddenly, and then said with a slight joking voice: "I almost forgot if you don't say it. I heard that you are known as the King of Western Chu and have also enfeoffed various princes. I want to ask you...

..Do you deserve it?"

"presumptuous--!"

“Bold—!”

Hearing Zhao Kun's words, the general under Xiang Yu immediately shouted.

Xiang Yu looked at Zhao Kun with a gloomy face and said coldly: "I am not as good as you for verbal use, but I want to ask you a question... Where is the body of a cousin Xiang Zhuang?"

Xiangzhuang?

It turned out to be for him!

Zhao Kun pondered for a moment, and said truthfully, "Xiangzhuang is a descendant of a famous family. I have ordered people to restrain his body and bury him at a date!"

"good!"

Xiang Yu shouted loudly when he heard this, then exhaled a breath of turbid air and said in a heavy voice: "There is no need to be buried on a date. When I capture Yongcheng, I will be good at dealing with his funeral!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Zhou Yin who was beside him: "I will deal with those cavalrymen, you will be responsible for the attack on the city with all your might!"

"yes!"

With the order from Zhou Yin, the Chu army began to attack the city again.

"Dongdongdongdong--"

A loud drum sound suddenly reminded me of it. Xiang Yu raised the Overlord's Salute and said loudly: "Brothers of Chu Army, the tyranny of the King of Qin has caused the people to suffer. His son Zhao Kun wants to stop us from overthrowing Qin. We are incompatible with him. Kill him.

——!"

"Kill--!"

As Xiang Yu finished speaking, the 10,000 Chu cavalry led by the general Yu Ziqi under his command rushed towards the Lei Cavalry Camp in front.

The Chu infantry on both wings also quickly approached Yongcheng under the command of Zhou Yin.

Wang Yan was in the military formation and smiled coldly: "In terms of force, I am not as good as you, Xiang Yu, but in terms of cavalry, I, the Thunder Cavalry, have no reason to be afraid of you!"

After saying that, he shouted loudly: "Thunder Rider is ready to... shoot arrows!"

Yu Ziqi, who was coming towards him, was stunned when he saw that the thunder cavalry had given up the charge and turned to archery.

"Why is the thunder rider today different from the previous one? Isn't their advantage an armor... why don't they rush to kill?"

Yu Ziqi was puzzled because in his impression, the thunder cavalry should be like the Julushi, who was invincible.

However, today's thunder rider seems to be very different.

"Hmph! Pretend to be a ghost!"

He snorted coldly, Yu Ziqi pointed to the Lei Qi in front of him with confidence.

He felt that the elite cavalry of the Chu State behind him was not weaker than the thunder cavalry, because these elite cavalry were trained by Xiang Yu. Not only were they good at riding and shooting, but they were also very well-equipped.

However, just when he thought the enemy general was putting the cart before the horse, the five thousand thunder cavalry, who were waiting for the battle, pulled the crossbow machine in turn.

"Swoosh swish swish--"

Countless dense arrows flew into the air and shot at the enemy with great accuracy.

After a while, the rumbling and surging Chu army seemed to hit a wall of arrows, screaming and falling off their horses.

For a moment, blood and flesh flew in front of the thunder cavalry, war horses neighed, and a mess.

Since the standard Zhuge crossbow among every Lei rider is the Zhuge crossbow, after one round of shooting, it did not stop too much and a new round of shooting began.

Although these Chu troops were well-equipped, there were still a large number of casualties under the dense rain of arrows.

Most of the Chu army's equipment came from Zhang Han's criminal army. The reason why the criminal army can quickly form combat effectiveness is that their crossbow soldiers.

Seeing the thunder cavalry and crossbows firing, Yu Ziqi was not willing to be outdone and immediately ordered the Chu army's crossbow soldiers to fight back.

Although a single-shot crossbow is not as good as a continuous-shot crossbow, as long as the winner cannot be decided in a short period of time, his goal will be achieved.

Just as the Thunder Cavalry was shooting the arrows, the Chu cavalry relied on their number of people and quickly approached the Thunder Cavalry's position.

"The left-wing charge will scatter the Chu army and crush it. The crossbowmen retreated and the spearmen rushed up!"

Facing the approaching of the Chu cavalry, Wang Yan did not feel panic at all and ordered loudly.

The thunder cavalry is not only strong in combat, but also well-trained. The two thousand thunder cavalry on the left wing have been ready for battle. The moment he heard the order, he rushed out like thunder.

"Bang bang bang--"

The cavalry of Qin and Chu armies handed over in an instant. As the swords and swords rotated, sparks burst into pieces, blood and shouts appeared at the same time, completely killing them into a mess.

Now, the Chu cavalry's charge advantage was no longer useful, and instead was killed by the Lei cavalry in the chaos.

So Yu Ziqi quickly ordered the crossbow soldiers to retreat and let the two wings surround Wang Yanzhong's army.

However, Wang Yanzhong's army did not give him any chance at all, and began to charge towards them before the Chu army surrounded them.

Thunder cavalry belongs to heavy cavalry. The most suitable formation for heavy cavalry is that there is no formation, so you can leave a distance between each other and then crush it without thinking.

"Boom--"

As the war became fierce, the advantage of the Thunder Cavalry in military equipment gradually emerged. Five thousand Thunder Cavalry actually killed ten thousand Chu Cavalry, retreated step by step, and even showed signs of collapse.

"King, our cavalry cannot break through the Qin cavalry, let me support Ziqi!" Chen Wu, the general under Xiang Yu, couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw the battle situation in front of him.

Xiang Yu was also a little anxious. At the time in Julu, he knew that the thunder rider was very good, but he did not expect that he still underestimated the thunder rider's strength.

"Chen Wu, I ordered you to lead 8,000 cavalry into the army and be sure to take down the enemy's head!"

Xiang Yu looked at Zhao Kun on the top of the city, then looked at the battle situation, and found that Yu Ziqi could no longer hold it back, and Wang Yan was killing the enemy in a big way. He couldn't help but be angry, so he ordered it decisively.

Chen Wu received the order and immediately bowed his hand and rode his horse to the battlefield.

"The warriors of Western Chu! For the sake of the overlord and for the Chu people killed by the Qin army, kill all the Qin dogs and kill——!"

Chen Wu rode his horse and roared loudly.

The eight thousand cavalry behind him were full of morale, like a sharp red and yellow sword, penetrated directly into Wang Yanzhong's army.

At the same time, the Chu army behind Xiang Yu shook flags and shouted: "Chu Xiang! Chu Xiang! Chu Xiang!"

………

On the other side, on the top of Yongcheng City, Zhao Kun looked at the increasingly fierce battlefield and thoughtful.

After a moment, he turned his head and looked at Han Xin and said, "If you continue to fight like this, the Five Thousand Thunder Riders will probably not be able to withstand it."

"Xiang Yu has not participated in the war yet. If we cannot lure him to join the war, our plan will be wasted." Han Xin frowned.

"What should I do now? I can't let Wang Yan die like this!"

"this……"

Han Xin hesitated for a moment, suddenly remembered the conversation between Zhao Kun and Xiang Yu, and asked Zhao Kun tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you mind your reputation?"

"Um?"

Zhao Kun was stunned and looked at Han Xin with some confusion: "What does it mean?"

Han Xin said hesitantly: "I mean... If you don't mind your reputation, you are planning to anger Xiang Yu with the body of Xiang Yu's cousin Xiang Zhuang!"

Zhao Kun: “………”

Han Xin: “………”

Both of them looked at each other without saying a word.

After a moment, Zhao Kun asked in a deep voice: "Are you kidding me?"

"Don't dare!"

Han Xin hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, Xiang Yu is respectful and kind, treats his soldiers and relatives with kindness and gentleness, but these are all the kindness of women. This is the most taboo thing on the battlefield."

"Victory is always an iron rule on the battlefield. The so-called "soldiers never get tired of deceit" is this. As long as I humiliate Xiang Zhuang's body in public, Xiang Yu will definitely be angry and attack the city with all his strength."
