A Chu soldier standing on the side of the mountain frowned and asked the figure looming in the fog in the distance.
The distance was more than twenty meters, and the fog at the foot of the mountain was heavier than other places. They could only see figures moving in the fog, but their specific appearance was unclear.
However, these Chu troops were not too vigilant.
First of all, we are near Shouchun, the heart of Chu State, and there is no possibility of enemies.
Secondly, they have five thousand well-equipped soldiers. Who would dare to provoke them if they don't have the foresight?
"Your Majesty said that the fog was heavy and we were worried about possible loss on the road, so he ordered us to come and help him."
The answer came from the fog, with a very authentic Chudi accent.
The figure is getting closer and closer, and there seem to be more figures appearing behind it.
"Oh, the fog is fine. Let's walk slowly."
Chu Zu, who asked just now, nodded and replied casually.
He instinctively followed the train of thought in the other party's words and thought that this was an army sent by King Chu of Chu to support him.
But then he realized, wasn't Shouchun in the west?
Why do these responders come from the direction of Bashan in the north?
In the mist, Shejian kicked down the Chu businessman who was shivering in front of him and was trying to answer and cover him.
At this time, they are already close, and they no longer need to pretend to be a supporting force. They have a better excuse!
She Jian raised his long sword and shouted in the poor Chu dialect he had just practiced all night: "Qu Ming wants to rebel and avenge Xiong You. Your Majesty orders us to kill the rebels and anyone who stands in our way."
, treat them like thieves and be executed without mercy!”
Then, countless similarly lame Chu language rang out from the mist, echoing at the foot of the mountain, causing the horses in the marching array to be frightened and neigh.
As people screamed and horses neighed, countless figures emerged from the mist on the mountainside and ran towards the Chu army who was escorting the prisoners.
Xiong You!
It was the King of Chu who was killed by Fu Chu and usurped the throne. Compared with Fu Chu, he was the real legal heir.
Therefore, after the King of Chu, Hei Cu, regicide usurped the throne, many nobles and princes were dissatisfied with this, and some even wanted to rebel against He Cu and install other princes in the throne. For this reason, there were many bloodshed incidents.
Therefore, although Shejian's accent was strange, the content of his words still made those Chu soldiers who heard clearly look at each other.
"General Qu Ming wants to rebel?"
"The king sent people to capture him?"
Countless question marks popped up on the heads of these Chu soldiers. They never expected that enemies would appear near Shouchun, so they were involuntarily misled by those words.
Although everyone thought it was strange, the meaning behind Shejian's words made them dare not act rashly.
What if it's true?
If General Qu Ming really wants to rebel, are these people really sent by the king to capture him?
Those who stand in the way are really rebels. They are just a group of soldiers and they don't dare to act rashly on this kind of thing.
With no one taking the lead, many Chu soldiers froze on the spot, allowing the figures in the mist to quickly approach.
"Do I want to rebel?"
"Do I want revenge for Xiong You?"
"Your Majesty sent someone to kill me?"
On the horse, Qu Ming's eyes widened, his face turned red, and he looked incredible.
….
Are you kidding me?
Who is Qu Ming?
He, Qu Ming, was the real confidant of Chu King Fu Chu, the man who helped Fu Chu usurp the throne and personally forced the palace to capture Xiong You.
In the grand scheme of things, Qu Ming can also be regarded as a member of the Regicides. How could he want to avenge the death of Xiong You now? Who is kidding?
[The problem of slow update of new chapters will be resolved soon.
There is something wrong with the accent. Although it is Chu dialect, it is by no means a normal accent!
"It's a Guanzhong accent! And a Hanoi accent..."
Xin Wu lay on the chariot and stared blankly at the direction where the sound came from.
The familiar tone sounded, tugging at his heartstrings.
Those people must be from Qin!
But, how could anyone from Qin appear in the hinterland of Chu, near Shouchun?
Not only Xin Wu, but also the thousands of Qin soldiers who were crestfallen and were tied up with hemp ropes by the Chu people and were listless, all raised their heads blankly and looked at the direction where the sound came from.
Are they our compatriots from Paoze?
At this moment, whether it was the five thousand Chu soldiers who were escorting the prisoners or the one thousand Qin soldiers who were being escorted, they all stayed in place in a daze until the figures in the fog approached and revealed their appearances.
The Chu soldier closest to him opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene in front of him in horror.
Those who rushed out of the mist were not sent by the king to kill the rebellious Chu army.
They are all Qin people wearing Qin armor and covered with weed stains!
The pair of red eyes and the ferocious faces scared the Chu soldier and screamed on the spot.
"It's the Qin army! The enemy is attacking, the enemy..."
Before he finished speaking, a crossbow missed and shot into the Chu soldier's open mouth, reaching deep into his throat.
"kill!"
Bai Rong, who was running at the front, yelled.
Behind him were the fastest-running Di Qiang barbarians. These people were wild and howling. The sound was as terrifying as the roar of wild wolves, which was very scary.
Behind those Di Qiang, thousands of Qin soldiers rushed towards them like tigers descending from the mountain towards the Chu soldiers who were still stunned and unresponsive.
In an instant, the battle broke out!
Although the numbers of the Qin and Chu armies were similar, their status was very different.
The Chu soldiers were energetic and well-equipped with weapons, but the Qin army was hungry, ragged, and in far worse physical condition than the Chu people. If the two armies really fought in formation, the Chu army would have a higher chance of winning.
But unfortunately, under the cover of the fog and frightened by the excuses Zhao Tuo came up with, the Chu soldiers seemed to be marionettes, just standing there blankly and receiving a blow from the Qin army.
Although they reacted quickly, the soldiers of the Qin army had already rushed into their immediate vicinity. They were stabbing with sword blades and halberds in their hands. Every shot of the weapon represented the fall of a Chu soldier.
land.
Blood spurted out and screams filled the ground.
Being prepared and unprepared, the brave soldiers of the fierce tiger descended from the mountain and attacked the army that was stunned and stunned. There was no suspense in this battle.
The Chu soldiers had no idea where the so-called Qin army came from, nor what the situation of the battle was. Some of them even held weapons in circles, making it difficult to advance or retreat.
….
They only heard screams coming from the mist, and at the same time, the lame Chu sound sounded again.
"The Chu army was defeated!"
"Qu Ming is dead!"
"The Chu army is defeated! Run away!"
After hearing these words, the confused Chu soldiers could not tell the truth from the lies, and many of them turned around and fled.
At the same time, the prisoners of the Qin army who were tied to the hemp ropes also took this opportunity to resist. With the help of the Qin army robes who rushed forward, they cut off the ropes and then picked up the weapons from the Chu people's corpses.
, joined the battle.
The Qin army wore black armor and the Chu people wore red armor. In a chaotic battle, they were not afraid of killing the wrong person.
During that battle, many Qin soldiers were so hungry that they could no longer walk, so they lay on the ground, took out the rations they carried from the corpses of the fallen Chu people, stuffed them into their mouths, chewed them, and ate them.
While making a terrible swallowing sound.
Viewed from afar in the mist, this scene looked like those Qin people were lying on the ground eating the corpse after killing someone.
"The Qin army is eating people!"
"Oh my God! The Qin army is cannibalistic!"
"Run quickly!"
Chu Zu who saw this scene
Their souls trembled with horror, and they turned around and ran away, without any fighting spirit anymore.
In a short period of time, the outcome of the battle has been decided.
The Chu army was defeated, and Qin people wearing black armor were chasing and killing them everywhere.
"I am dead?"
In the rebellious army, Qu Ming, who had just come to his senses, heard voices saying "Qu Ming is dead" from everywhere, which made him even more confused.
"General, leave quickly! The Qin army makes a sneak attack, and we will escort the general back to Shouchun!"
The soldiers beside him urged anxiously.
Qu Ming finally came to his senses and saw that in the short period of time he was in a daze, the soldiers in front were defeated, and the prisoners who were escorted were also resisting. This scene made Qu Ming's scalp numb with shock.
The situation is over!
"Is it really the Qin army? How come the Qin army appears in this land of Huainan?"
Qu Ming's teeth were chattering, but fortunately he also knew that he was in danger now. Without any time to think about it, Qu Ming shouted to the soldiers around him: "The front is full of Qin troops and random soldiers. We can't rush through.
Escape first, get out of here, and then take a detour back to Shouchun!"
Qu Ming yelled, patted his horse and turned around, running towards the road.
"The general is wise."
The soldier beside him was stunned for a moment, then turned to the rear while agreeing.
The two or three hundred Chu soldiers at the rear were confused by the chaos coming from the front. After all, they were too far away to see the situation clearly. They only knew that their own army seemed to be attacked. At this moment, they saw Qu Ming riding a horse in a panic.
Later, knowing that the situation was not good, they began to collapse.
"Damn it, don't run around, just follow me!"
Qu Ming yelled, trying to retreat back while gathering the remaining soldiers.
The moment his voice fell, several arrows flew from the fog in the distance, hitting Qu Ming all over him.
The Chu army general screamed and fell to the ground, and was immediately trampled by the short soldiers and horses that followed him.
Not far away, Zhang He shook the crossbow machine in his hand.
Didi couldn't help but say: "The military commander asked me to lead my men to intercept the Chu army's retreat. The man's voice just now was so loud, I don't know if he was hit or not?"
Behind Zhang He, the Qin soldiers shouted and began to hunt down the fleeing Chu soldiers...
