In fact, from the time Xiang Yu broke into the camp to kill He Qing, to the time when Jiangdong's cavalry tore apart the fence of the camp and strangled the Qin army's infantry, in less than a cup of tea, Xiang Yu did not go too far into the Qin army's formation and wandered around.
Waiting at the edge of the camp for Jiangdong's cavalry to enter the camp.
The "Ten Thousand Enemies" spear weighing more than a hundred kilograms moved like flying in Xiang Yu's hands. The soldiers of the Qin army were injured immediately upon contact and died. Xiang Yu broke through the encirclement of the Qin army faster than the more than two thousand Jiangdong cavalry.
The speed is even faster.
The Jiangdong cavalry knew Xiang Yu's plan immediately when they saw the direction of Xiang Yu's advance. In the eyes of these Jiangdong cavalry, it was obvious that Xiang Yu's weight far exceeded that of Wang Li's camp, and the sudden attack was crazy in an instant.
The Qin army's infantry phalanx, which had just been blocked and was still crowded together, was caught off guard. Jiangdong's cavalry suddenly charged forward and fell down. The remaining soldiers separated to both sides like waves to temporarily avoid the sharp attack.
After a while, Xiang Yu and the remaining thousands of Jiangdong's cavalry had reunited.
Looking at the Jiangdong cavalry, who were mostly injured and sparsely injured, a hint of sadness flashed across Xiang Yu's murderous face, and then turned ferocious. All of this was caused by the Qin people!
"Follow me and charge! Break through the Qin camp! Kill!"
Xiang Yu raised his hand and shouted "Ten Thousand Enemies", and then he clamped his legs firmly on the Wuzui horse's belly and rushed out first.
With Xiang Yu as an arrow, the infantry of Dong Daying were only equipped with a small number of long-handled weapons such as Chang Ge and Beryllium. The rest were short swords, small shields and other equipment suitable for close combat, and they were suddenly more able to resist.
For difficulty.
Soon more than a thousand Jiangdong cavalry, led by Xiang Yu, had cut through the Qin army's infantry square. Xiang Yu took the lead and turned around to kill the Qin army again while their formation was in chaos.
The soldiers of the Qin army where Xiang Yu and Jiangdong's cavalry passed by all moved aside. After Jiangdong's cavalry passed by, they gathered together again and slowly adjusted their formation. This greatly reduced the casualties caused by Xiang Yu's second charge.
Seeing that Xiang Yu and the Jiangdong cavalry had already killed an opponent once more, they wanted to do it again. They rushed back and forth in the Qin army's infantry formation as if they were in a deserted area, which immediately aroused the anger of the Qin army generals.
"crossbow!"
A leader of two to five hundred people shouted loudly.
Hearing this loud shout, the soldiers of the Qin army reflexively fired the crossbows in their hands at the Jiangdong cavalry who was about to break the Qin formation three times.
In the constant battle, only a few hundred people had loaded their crossbows with arrows, and under the explosion of the two to five hundred people, only some of them shot the crossbow arrows in a hurry.
More than a hundred crossbow arrows flew up one after another from the Qin army's formation, easily piercing the simple armor of Jiangdong's cavalry. Dozens of them fell from their horses to the ground.
Under the sudden attack of crossbow arrows, more than twenty of the Qin army's infantry, which had been in close combat with Jiangdong's cavalry, were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The reason why they had not used strong crossbows to attack Xiang Yu and others before was because they were afraid of hurting their own people.
But obviously at this time the Qin army generals could no longer care so much.
The Jiangdong cavalrymen who were killed by the Qin army were the brothers and neighbors of Paoze, and the soldiers of the Qin army were also killed by the brothers and neighbors of Paoze. Both sides were already red-eyed.
The screams of dozens of Jiangdong cavalrymen before they were killed suddenly made Xiang Yu, who had been completely filled with endless murderous intent, suddenly wake up. Looking at the sparse Jiangdong cavalry behind him, which was less than a thousand riders, Xiang Yu gritted his steel teeth.
"Follow me, General!"
Xiang Yu suddenly turned his horse's head and used tens of thousands of enemies to block a ten-foot-long wooden fence that was still burning and rushed towards the depths of the camp. The remaining Jiangdong cavalry, which numbered less than a thousand, followed suit.
The tents along the way were set alight one by one by Xiang Yu.
Without Xiang Yu's instructions, the Jiangdong cavalry behind them already knew what Xiang Yu wanted to do, and they all followed suit by using the fire sticks in their hands to ignite the feather arrows soaked in kerosene and set the tents on fire one after another.
The sky-high flames suddenly rose from all over Dongying, and spread rapidly as Xiang Yu and his party ran.
The sudden flight of Xiang Yu's more than a thousand cavalry was completely unexpected by the soldiers of the Qin army. By the time they reacted, Xiang Yu and his party had already run a long way away. It was obviously impossible for the infantry to catch up with the cavalry.
However, the action of Jiangdong's cavalry setting fire to the tent immediately caused the Qin soldiers to panic.
"Put out the fire quickly! Put out the fire quickly!"
The soldiers of the Qin army watched helplessly as Jiangdong's cavalry set fire to the camp. The remaining thousands of soldiers hurriedly beat up the tent that had been set ablaze. The east camp was suddenly in chaos.
The fire that shot up into the sky at Dong Daying immediately attracted the attention of Yang Xiong, who was still shooting at the more than two thousand Jiangdong cavalry in front of the camp gate. The thunderous hoofbeats came from far to near, and gradually became clearer. With the hoofbeats, the fire was coming.
Spreading towards the Zhongda Camp.
Yang Xiong's expression changed drastically!
Apparently, the East Camp had been broken into by a group of rebel cavalry. Moreover, the rebels broke through the obstruction of more than 7,000 Qin infantry, broke into the camp, and started setting fire to the camp.
Yang Xiong wouldn't be too worried if it was just a camp burning. The key point was the Beida Camp, which was built against the mountain behind the Zhongda Camp.
The Beida camp stores the grain and grass baggage carried by Wang Li's 100,000-strong army when he went south. Once the rebels break into the Beida camp and set fire to the grain and grass baggage, then the 100,000-man army that is in a food-free situation will not need to be attacked by the rebels.
Can retreat and allow the rebels to cross the river.
Yang Xiong shuddered when he thought of the consequences!
If that time really comes, then he, the camp commander appointed by Wang Li, will really die without redemption!
"Immediately ride on my horse and leave the camp from the gap in the east camp to report to the general that the camp is under attack!" Yang Xiong grabbed a guard who was guarding him and said loudly.
The guard obviously knew that the matter was urgent, and even forgot to say "here", he jumped on Yang Xiong's horse and fled away.
"He Yu! I will give you two thousand soldiers. You must not let these more than a thousand rebels rush in from the main gate of the camp! Otherwise, you will come to see me! I will personally lead four thousand soldiers to the Beida Camp to protect the food, grass and baggage!"
"Here!"
He Yu is He Qing's younger brother, and he simply responded to Yang Xiong's order.
Yang Xiong didn't waste any time, and immediately led nearly 4,000 Qin army infantry towards the Beida Camp at the rear of the camp.
Xiang Yu is indeed looking for the place where Wang Li's army stores grain and supplies, but it is very difficult for such a huge camp with one hundred thousand soldiers to find the place where grain and grass is stored. Fortunately, the inside of Wang Li's camp can be said to be extremely empty, and all the way
Only a few Qin troops, less than a hundred men, stopped the march, but they were all slaughtered by Jiangdong's cavalry in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, Xiang Yu led more than a thousand Jiangdong cavalry and set fire all the way to the Chinese army camp.
Passing through the East Camp, there are two camps in front of you, the Central Camp and the North Camp. Xiang Yu stood on the intersection of the three camps and looked at the two camps in the middle and south, thinking about which camp to burn first.
Which camp.
"Buzz!" A sharp roar suddenly came from the direction of Beidaying.
"Disperse!" Xiang Yu was so frightened that he heard this voice, and shouted sternly. As he said that, he drove his Wuzui horse towards the direction of Beidaying.
"Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!"
This time Xiang Yu was not so lucky. The spear he was swinging blocked many crossbow arrows, but three crossbow arrows still tore through his armor and penetrated into his body. Three eight-inch-long small crossbow arrows struck Xiang Yu's arms, shoulders and thighs.
There is one branch on each side, nearly half of which is submerged in the flesh.
Xiang Yu's shirt was instantly stained red by the blood that soaked out!
Xiang Yu didn't look back at the series of screams from Jiangdong's cavalry behind him. Just by hearing the sound, he knew that this sudden attack must have caused heavy casualties! Xiang Yu held a ten thousand enemy on his horse with one hand, and with the other hand, he thrust his sword into the horse like lightning.
The three crossbow arrows on his body were pulled out.
Three bloody swords burst out as the crossbow arrow was pulled out! In the light of the camp's towering fire, one could even clearly see the strips of meat hanging from the three sharp barbs of the crossbow arrow!
Xiang Yu opened his mouth and tore off the pieces of his own flesh that were hanging on the barbs. He threw the crossbow arrows out with his hands. He opened his eyes wide, chewed his own flesh and blood, and ran towards the Beidaying!
Half of the more than a thousand Jiangdong cavalry in the rear were killed by a round of crossbow attacks from the Beida camp. The remaining five hundred or so Jiangdong cavalry silently looked at Pao Ze who was lying on the ground and was still screaming miserably, and followed Xiang Yu silently.
He rushed towards Beida Camp from behind.
Xiang Yu in a frantic state is terrifying! What's more, the two thousand Qin soldiers in the Beida camp were disturbed by the fires burning all over the camp. They couldn't help but feel fear when they saw Xiang Yu, who was covered in blood and being killed.
However, the strict military discipline of the Qin army still allowed them to muster up the courage to face them bravely.
More than a dozen figures came back just as quickly as they came! They were swung away by Xiang Yu's stick, and all of them turned into shrimp shapes. They spit out large mouths in the air and smashed into the Qin army's formation with the dirty blood inside.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Hundreds of rockets flew out from the charging Jiangdong cavalry formation and aimed at the tents of Beida Camp.
When the captain of the Beida camp saw this, his eyes were filled with tears. "Put out the fire!" He turned around and went to put out the large tent that contained 100,000 army provisions and supplies that had been hit by an arrow and caught fire!
When the defenders of the Beida Camp heard the captain's order, they immediately went into chaos. Many cavalrymen in front came up to kill them like crazy people. The grain and grass baggage they were guarding in the rear was hit by arrows and caught fire. It was really a dilemma!
Xiang Yu heard the stern shouting of the general of the Qin army very clearly, which immediately confirmed Xiang Yu's guess that the camp here was the place where grain, grass and baggage were stored. At this moment, the Qin army was in a state of chaos, unable to see each other from the beginning to the end. How could Xiang Yu
Can you give up this great opportunity!
Thousands of enemies opened the way, and Xiang Yu rushed into the Qin army's formation with men and horses, rushing left and right to kill each other! The remaining 500 or so Jiangdong cavalry raised their long bows and waved their spears and attacked the gap where Xiang Yu broke into.
bumped in!
The command of the Qin Army Captain helped Xiang Yu a lot!
The infantry of the Qin army who could not look at each other from head to tail were unable to form an effective square formation to resist the advance of the Jiangdong cavalry led by Xiang Yu. In a moment, they were penetrated by the Qin army blocked by the Jiangdong cavalry in front of the Beida camp!
"kill!"
After piercing through the Qin army, Xiang Yu ran into the camp without stopping, carried fire, and started setting fires everywhere. More than 500 Jiangdong cavalry no longer formed a formation, but dispersed and started setting fire to food everywhere in the Beida camp! (To be continued.
