Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 487 No way out

Chapter 499 No way out

After Xiang Yu led the Jiangdong Cavalry with less than [-] people left, he rushed out of the seemingly impenetrable but empty encirclement wrapped by Han Xin, and then went directly south to Guangling, preparing to cross the Huaihe River from Guangling and return to Kuaiji County.

After all, the hometown of Jiangdong is the old nest of the Xiang family. Even if there are no eggs under the overturned nest, living in Kuaiji will give Xiang Yu a little more comfort in his heart.

After easily breaking through the false encirclement created by Han Xin's [-]-strong army, Xiang Yu already knew that he had been tricked. In fact, the Qin army was only tens of thousands more than his own army at most. The power of war.

However, the army was defeated like a mountain, and on the chaotic battlefield, the morale of the soldiers of the Chu army who had been surrounded by the Qin army had been mistakenly thought to have declined to the extreme. It was impossible for Xiang Yu to regroup and motivate the army to fight again.

If Xiang Bo had not betrayed, maybe Xiang Yu and the tens of thousands of Chu troops still had a chance.

After all, with Xiang Bo coordinating the army at the rear, the Chu army's scouts could detect Han Xin's army before it appeared around them.

As long as the response is made in advance, the reality of the Qin army is found out, and the Chu army abandons some soldiers to break away from the entanglement with Han Xin's army, they can easily break through Han Xin's empty encirclement.

It was just Xiang Bo's betrayal that put Xiang Yu's [-] army in a dilemma.

And Xiang Yu himself led [-] Jiangdong iron cavalry to charge into the battle in person. Without the presence of a general, even if the scouts discovered the appearance of the Qin army, they would not be able to respond in time, because they had no rights and no prestige.

After breaking out of the encirclement, Xiang Yu has never hated someone so much as today.

Xiang Bo's betrayal not only led to the defeat of the Chu army, but also stabbed the already scarred Xiang Yu's heart again.

Even his relatives have left him, can the Xiang clan have a tomorrow?
However, Xiang Yu's resentment only lasted for a moment, because Li Wei's vanguard cavalry had already entangled tightly like tarsal maggots.

After some chasing, the cavalry of the vanguard battalion, which was recharging their energy and morale, faced the Jiangdong cavalry of Xiang Yu who was eager to leave the battlefield. With the four major generals Xiang Yu, Ying Bu, Ji Bu, and Yu Ziqi present, Xiang Yu's team eventually After losing nearly half of the Wanjiang Cavalry, they broke through the interception of the vanguard cavalry and fled in a panic.

The forward battalion cavalry under Li Wei lost nearly 3000 people.

Compared with the loss, the arrogant cavalry of the vanguard battalion fell at a disadvantage.However, this also aroused the aggressiveness of the forward battalion cavalry, and the Jiangdong cavalry, who had less than 5000 remaining men in Xiang Yu's hands, followed all the way south, chasing after him.

The two sides fought and stopped along the road to Guangling, leaving the corpses of soldiers entangled along the way.this
Among them are the cavalry of the vanguard battalion and the cavalry of Jiangdong cavalry.

And Han Xin and Wang Ben quickly mobilized more cavalry to join the battle to chase Xiang Yu.

Facing the tens of thousands of light cavalry of the Qin army equipped with saddles, stirrups and horseshoes, Xiang Yu knew very well that it was impossible for him to go to Guangling if the defeat of the Chu army was certain.

However, listening to the roar of horseshoes that are getting closer and closer in the distance, seeing the empty Huaihe River rolling east, and the hundreds of Jiangdong cavalry who are almost humanoid, Xiang Yu knows that today he is Impossible to go any further.

Inside the camp, Xiang Yu looked dejected.

In the account, in addition to Xiang Yu, there are four other people, Yingbu, Jibu, Xiangzhuang, and Yuziqi.Compared with the high spirits of the past, they seem a little lonely at this moment.

After this series of battles, the huge Chu State is now scattered on the ground like withered leaves in this winter.

"General, let me stay. If any of you stay, maybe they will be killed by Wang Ben and Han Xin, but I won't, they will definitely not kill me." After a long silence, Yu Ziqi said .

Xiang Yu hesitated. Yu Ziqi had a sister-in-law relationship with Ying Gang, and people like Wang Ben regarded Ying Gang as the future heir of the empire, so his family of wives would naturally be slightly different.

At the mention of Concubine Yu, Xiang Yu felt three-point pain and seven-point regret.

It's not that he doesn't like beauties, especially Yu Ji, who is so overwhelming.

But for the great cause of the state, he had to bury this pawn beside Ying Gang.But it is a pity that the state of Chu is gone before it can be activated.

Among the generals, apart from Xiang Zhuang, the family brother, Yu Ziqi and Long, who had already died in battle, had the best relationship with him.

Just like what Yu Ziqi said, if he stays, he can stop the Qin army. Even if he is captured by the Qin army, he will be quiet at best.

Xiang Yu thought in his heart, and suddenly his heart beat.

"Then leave it to Ziqi." Xiang Yu nodded towards Yu Ziqi.

"Don't worry, General," Yu Ziqi said.

The other three were silent for a while, obviously acquiescing to this method.

"Report to the general, a person who claims to be a guard of Zhongli came outside the camp gate. He asked to see the general." Suddenly, a guard outside the tent came in and reported.

"What?" Everyone in the tent turned pale with shock, Xiang Yu stood up suddenly, waved his hand and said, "Let him in."

Those close to Xiang Yu naturally knew what was going on with Zhongli, and now they heard that Zhongli had actually sent someone over.

They were also angry and shocked.

The anger was because Uncle Xiang betrayed them, and this person who was supposed to be the last hope of the Chu State turned out to be the straw that crushed the Chu State.

The reason for surprise is that their families are all in Zhongli City. How can any eggs be completed under such a large crowd?
Just when everyone was more or less anxious.

A few soldiers walked in from outside the tent, one of them looked haggard and knelt down in front of Xiang Yu with a common sound.

"General, I have brought a letter under Zuo Yin's order."

As he spoke, the leading soldier took out a letter from his pocket.

Xiang Yu took the letter, glanced at the soldier in front of him and asked, "How is Zhongli?"

This soldier was originally one of the guards in the city. Although Xiang Bo surrendered, he still had his heart for Xiang Yu, and when he saw Xiang Yu's question, he answered directly.

"Zuo Yin has led everyone to surrender to Qin, and Qin general Zhongli has completely accepted Zhongli's affairs."

"Touch." Xiang Yu's body, which was originally tense, immediately went limp like mud.

Although he had long guessed that Uncle Xiang would surrender, when he actually heard it, it still gave him a big shock.

It's over, it's over, it's really over.

Although Xiang Yu had great feats at this time, he had not grown up in the Battle of Julu after all, and could not be associated with the historical overlord of Western Chu at all.

Under heavy blows, his last faith also completely collapsed.

"General, general." Two hurried voices sounded from the side, and after a while, Yingbu and Jibu helped Xiang Yu up.

"Come here, take these guys down and cut them down." After Yingbo's voice fell, the two soldiers quickly supported the soldiers who came to deliver the letter and were ready to go out.

"Slow!" Xiang Yu suddenly shouted to the people in front of him, and all eyes fell on the young general.

"Forget it, let them go." Xiang Yu sighed lightly, and everyone in the big tent felt heavy hearted.

"Thank you, General." A Gan soldier let out a sigh of relief, got up and walked out.

The way back is gone, the family is gone, is it true to give up hope and surrender obediently?

Xiang Yu was unwilling to abandon his military power and the ambition he had spent his entire life building.

If I had no ambition in my heart, I am afraid that I would become a tiger in captivity, and I would only be left to eat and wait to die.

Xiang Yu didn't want to be like that.

Just when Xiang Yu was hesitating, another guard suddenly walked in.The report said: "General, there are people outside the camp who claim to be the envoys of the Qin army asking to see them."

Xiang Yu immediately knew that the visitor was not kind, he was silent for a moment, and asked.

"please come in."

"No." After the guard got the order, he immediately turned and walked out.

Xiang Yu glanced around, in his opinion, this would bring adverse consequences.Xiang Yu couldn't help saying: "Everyone calm down, don't let people see the joke." Now including Xiang Yu, the expressions of several people are not good-looking.

The four of Yingbu knew it well, and put away their expressions.Sit and wait for the messenger to arrive.
