Chapter 19 Champion Hou

{I am very serious about my grandmother, so the update is temporarily suspended, please forgive me}

When the two armies really took action, it was only one hour before dawn. Unbounded clouds and mist suddenly grew in the dense primeval forest in the valley. Zhang Fan and Li Tong's armies abandoned their war horses and walked forward on foot. The soldiers were holding marches and marched for twenty miles in a hurry, and soon occupied the woods on the east and west sides of the valley.

After staying in the valley for a few days, Li Xin roughly understood the situation in the valley and knew that there was no road in the valley. However, the sparse trees on the east and west sides could barely pass by.

Zhang Fan and Li Tong were walking in the valley in the dark, and according to Li Xin's request, they sent spies back to report the situation every ten miles. They walked for thirty miles and it started to dawn.

The valley is green with green bamboos, ravines and streams, and fog has become the biggest feature of the local climate. When the fog starts in the middle of the night, it will be noon when the sun is shining, and the clouds will clear and the fog will dissipate. At this time, there is still a quiet area between the wild forests, and the misty and moist morning fog is wandering in the atmosphere, floating, and people cannot be distinguished from one meter away.

"Cut, cut it!" Zhang Fan suddenly heard the sound of trotting and panting from the crowd behind the pile of rocks in front of him, the sound of armor, bows and arrows, and the sound of light collisions, and from time to time, one or two low-pressed dry coughs came.

"The enemy is here!" Zhang Fan's spirit immediately concentrated highly, and he became nervous easily and with a playful mood, and a layer of sweat appeared on his back. What General Li Xin said was true!!

"Prepare for battle! The archers hang their strings and send orders. Everyone hides to the left of the road. No one is allowed to speak, and they will die! Order people to go back and report the message to the old general!" As he said that, he turned around and jumped back like a monkey. The sound was very light, but the soldiers nearby heard it clearly. The responsible messenger turned around and returned, and the order was passed through layers of strict organization and executed.

The Qin army disappeared in an instant in the vast forest.

Zhang Fan saw two meters ahead, and there were vague figures rushing towards him. He guessed that it must be the enemy's vanguard. The crossbowman beside him had already aimed at the target. As long as he loosened his hands, those people would immediately lie down like dry firewood. Zhang Fan had calmed down, and held the crossbowman down and said in a low voice. "Don't move, let these people go, let them all go, don't forget the orders of the old general."

At the same time, Li Tong also discovered the incoming Chu army and hid it, and issued an order to release it. Xiang Yu and Wu Shezheng gradually drilled into their pockets.

In the heavy fog, the entire Chu army passed the ambush formation of Zhang Fan and Li Tong without any notice. The two armies of Zhang Fan and Li Tong quickly gathered behind them and sewed them together. The Chu army's retreat was cut off.

Li Xin had already received the news that Zhang Fan and Li Tong had passed from the front. The Qin army arrived fifteen miles away. After Li Xin had already selected a hill, a natural barrier blocked the Chu army's path and sight. They were about to cross mountains and ridges again, but ten thousand bows and arrows with red flames had already opened here.

Xiang Yu and Wu She were at this time like the bottom of the pot, with hills and towering trees on all sides. In the middle was a flat ground with long grass above the knees, slightly sunken. There was a dark forest on the hills. There was a rocky path with arms wide circling around the bottom of the pot for a while and then stretching out toward the outside of the valley.

Wu She stood under the hills, standing beside each other, with his arms around him, and said, "Old King, walk forward thirty miles, there is a mountain called Dongling Mountain to the south. Cross the mountain and lead to Wangong Mountain to the north. After passing Huangzhuling, it is equivalent to crossing Feihukou and reaching the city of Chenggao. Overlord, your divine weapon descends from the sky. The main army of the King of Qin is all along the Honggou. Now they will lose."

Xiang Yu touched his beard and hair, frowned and snorted coldly, "Hurry up and march, the faster the better, cross the mountain." After hearing the order, the Chu soldiers tensed their muscles and quickly seized the mountain.

"Peng!" A sudden sound, the Chu soldiers who were stalking in front fell heavily from the foot of the hills like a black meteorite. The carved feather arrows on their foreheads buzzed and trembled. The red blood-red little snake flowed to Xiang Yu's feet.

The soldiers on both sides heard the crisp sound. In an instant, the Chu army understood what was going on. Before Xiang Yu issued the order, they shouted loudly and climbed up to the foothills on both hills on both sides of the mountain road.

In half a stick of incense, Li Xinjun and Zhang Fanjun, who were behind the Chu army, occupied the commanding heights around, respectively. Rockets, stone generators, crossbows and rattles were launched one after another, and they were organized and shot. There were fires everywhere, dead bodies everywhere, and chaos everywhere. After a period of stalemate between the Chu army and Li Xinjun located on the front, they retreated from both sides of the foothills.

Zhang Fan and Li Tongjun quickly covered up from behind and surrounded the Chu army in the center.

Xiang Yu's eyes were already a sea of ​​fire and a sea of ​​blood. He rounded his tiger's eyes, holding the iron halberd tightly, and watching the entire valley burning - Chu soldiers fell down one by one, instantly turning into ashes, and countless casualties, blood, blood, blood! The soldiers shouted at the top of their lungs; "Crush, kill, protect the overlord--" But no one could rush out of the sea of ​​fire. All the plants were crawled with the tongue of fire, and the world turned red.

Li Xin's cavalry team was chosen by himself with a slut. Li Xin is a typical "Qinism" soldier from other countries. He didn't even bother to look at it. Therefore, all he chose were Qin people with pure blood and veterans with practical experience. With Wang Zhu's greeting, the military department also gave the greatest convenience. Most of them were strong attacks and hard crossbows and sharp swords and guns. The soldiers were younger, had high fighting enthusiasm, and were familiar with the terrain, and they fought bravely. In addition, Li Xin was so old that he personally came to the frontier to command the battle, led by the army, shot and killed countless enemy troops, and the soldiers screamed and fought hard.

The Chu army was in a desperate situation, with unfavorable terrain and was raided again, surrounded, with fire everywhere and ambush everywhere, the worst thing was that there was no way to retreat. The soldiers were burned to death and turned dizzy, and the eyes were filled with stars running around and screaming. Xiang Yu had no choice but to do anything, and even half of the Qin soldiers could not see the shadow of the thick smoke. Only arrows flew around and blood was storming.

Wu She squatted behind a big rock tremblingly, and was so frightened that she was about to faint. Xiang Yu pulled it out, and Xiang Yu cursed, "Bao!" and then said calmly, "Lead the way, take me out, I guarantee you not to die." Wu She was so scared that she was trampling on her shit and urine, thinking that she was dying, and she didn't know where the strength came from, so she straightened her waist and stood up: "Bawang, Ba, what should brothers do?"

Xiang Yu's heart was bleeding, but his mouth was fierce, and he said angrily, "A general's success has been achieved and his bones are undone. As long as I, Xiang Yu, will avenge my brothers one day, so you don't care about this." He thought to himself, these soldiers are finished and they are powerless to turn things around.

Wu She was still thinking about himself at this time, and his feet softened and he knelt on the ground and shivered, and kept saying to Xiang Yu, "Bao Wang, I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I ask the Bo Wang to live my life, I don't know who leaked the news-"

Xiang Yu fired his bow and rewarded him with two huge slaps; "The bastard, so many people have died, but you are still missing? Do you want yours? I just need to move my fingers - take me out, not only will I not cure you offend you, but I will reward you with a thousand golds, hurry up." Xiang Yu is not confused at this time.

Wu She hurriedly got up, smoked and fired, hurriedly rushed out. The arrows in the smoke were like a locust plague and arrived at the sorghum field, right in his ears, hands, legs, trousers, and hair. He almost learned about his life several times, but was rescued in time by an iron halberd behind him. Along the way, Wu She was surrounded by fire people, corpses everywhere, wailing sounds, and the hearts of people were broken, as if they were falling into hell.

The Qin army only knew how to set fire to the Chu army surrounded by the middle, but they were not going to fight. The entire valley became a fire cave, and the fire spread rapidly to the periphery. Li Xin commanded the Qin army to gradually expand the battle circle. Finally, he simply called out the gold and stopped the troops, stood on the hills and watched countless Chu troops turn into ashes, until the entire army was destroyed, and no one left.

With his courage and powerful martial arts, Xiang Yu protected Wu She. Wu She led Xiang Yu. The two miraculously escaped from the sea of ​​fire. However, both were injured by arrows and burns. When they climbed from the valley to the foot of the mountain, they were already dying and exhausted. The wailing sounds behind them had stopped, and there was no one of the 30,000 soldiers who could escape.

Xiang Yu really wanted to poke Wu She to death with an iron halberd, but he still needed Wu She to lead the way. The two of them took a break, endured the pain and crossed mountains and ridges, and returned along the original path with all their might. This road was already full of thorns, and in this situation, it would be a life-and-death death to be able to go out.

Not to mention whether Xiang Yu could escape from the Tianlong and return to the sea, but Wang Zhu. Wang Zhu was stunned for more than twenty minutes after receiving the battle report from Li Xin. He had been thanking God for more than twenty minutes. He thought to himself, it seems that I am really the emperor of destiny. If I hadn't accidentally sent "Old Li" to the valley, this time I would have ended! Who would have thought that there was such an unknown path hidden in the vast forest.

Wang Zhu ordered the restoration of Li Xin's fiefs and land in the era of the First Emperor, and was named "Champion Marquis". He was the one who was brave enough to win the three armies. Huo Qubing won this honor back then. Wang Zhu wanted to satisfy the vanity of the old guy and let him not have any regrets in a hundred years. After receiving the title, Li Xin was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and he was no exaggerated to knock his head to the blood. He was really excited. The haze that had been suppressed in his heart for many years was finally dispelled by the scorching sun.

If Li Xin knew that he had let Xiang Yu go, he would be very regretful. With this lesson, Wang Zhu found several local literati who were familiar with geography as guides, arranged ambushers at all dangerous intersections where pedestrians could be sent, and unified them to Li Xin's dispatch. The total force reached 80,000, which was considered an important task. The outer periphery of Chenggao is truly impeccable. (To be continued)
