Legends in Chu and Han - C298
Tens of thousands of horses charged forward, a total of close to a hundred thousand men and horses surrounded by cavalry, infantry, and carriages. The entire ground was shaking from the impact of the iron hooves, and the ground was covered with troops as they charged forward.
“Release the arrows!” Tian Rong bellowed, and dozens of formation crossbows shot out at the Chu Army s in front of them, creating a burst of whooshing sound as they broke through the air, transforming into streaks of light that streaked across the sky, firmly enveloping the area above Chu Army’s head.
“Pa Pa Pa!” The arrow carried a powerful force and landed on the ground between the crowd of troops and the gaps, producing crackling sounds. In a single exchange, over a thousand Chu Army were shot to the ground and died as they howled miserably.
The soldiers in front fell to the ground, their war horses rampaging about, tripping over many of the cavalrymen behind them. The charging Chu Army was immediately in a dire situation, but this was only a small area, with a hundred thousand enemy soldiers, how many crossbow arrows could they shoot?
The speed of the war horses was extremely fast. After shooting twice with his crossbow, they had already crossed a distance of three to four hundred feet, and were getting closer and closer to the Allies.
Wei Bao and Wu Rui were at the front lines leading their troops, seeing the Chu Army cavalry soldiers arrive in a blink of an eye, Wei Bao bellowed: Prepare, release!
The six thousand archers shot wildly at Chu Army again, and a few dozen ballista s followed suit, their power great, their range was far, and in a moment they had filled a hundred arrows, ten companies, they were extremely destructive to the charging enemy soldiers, but after the arrows were loaded, the enemy soldiers had already entered the close range, so it was too late to load another arrow, it was just the right range for a normal archer.
Zhang Liang sat on the platform, looking at the horsemen charging over, he suddenly ordered: “Shao Quan, you will lead three hundred men and bring our ballista back to the north gate of Xianyang. If it is attacked and the chariots are immediately destroyed, you cannot let the Chu Army obtain it.
After Shao Quan received the order, he turned around and brought three hundred Dragon Army elite s with him to control the ballista, returning from the first front line and immediately sent them to Xianyang City. This was the light of the allied army, if they were to land in the Chu Army’s hands, in the future, they would overuse it on the allied forces.
As the shouts drew closer and closer, the soldiers at the camp’s fence could clearly feel the chill on their faces. The cold blade edge, the bone-piercing sword aura, together with the momentum of the charging horses, it was too powerful. Archers took turns to draw their arrows, prepare their arrows, shoot their arrows, and retreat one step at a time.
Very quickly, in a few breaths, the first batch of Chu Army’s vanguard cavalry soldiers had already arrived in front of them. In close combat, their bows and arrows could no longer hold the advantage, and the Chu cavalry soldiers rushed over with their horses and horses, constantly throwing out long spears in their hands.
“Puff puff puff …” The pike pierced through the air and pierced into the bodies of many of the Qi Jun and Wei Jun’s soldiers, nailing them to the ground.
Zhang Liang sat on the general’s stage and sighed: “Chu Army Vanguard is too sharp, send orders, give up a line, and retreat to the second line of defense.”
The herald, who was standing beside him, raised his banners, gave the order, and the drummer beat the drum according to the instructions.
When the two generals, Wei Bao and Wu Rui, heard the drum sound of retreat, they immediately gave out an order and led their subordinates to reverse the line of defense of the fence. The enemy troops in front of them had already charged into the camp, but they were blocked by the fence, forcing the cavalry to retreat.
However, the soldiers who were a step too slow were all stabbed to death by the spears thrown by the Chu Army. Qi Jun, who had escaped from the battle, had now hidden behind the defensive board in fear.
“There are too many Chu Army s. We can’t stop them. The Korean general, Zheng Chang, shouted to the general standing behind him.
Wei Bao, Tian Guang, Wu Rui and the rest of the dukes also agreed with him, leaving behind their own bodyguards. They only brought their guards and returned to the stage, and when they saw Zhang Liang sitting upright and proper, fanning himself with his feather fan, they expressionlessly watched as the few rows of riders fell into the pit of the horses.
“Mr. Zhang, where is the pure and simple Commander? Why didn’t they personally set up a defense formation to protect the Chu Army? If she wasn’t here, our fifty thousand rogue troops wouldn’t be able to stop the Chu Qin troops. Furthermore, Zhang Han and his men have already rushed over to block the escape route of the east gate. Wei Bao was so anxious that he became like an ant on a hot pan, trying to express his views in front of Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang said indifferently: There is no rush, the pure and simple chief had long predicted that the Chu Army would come to attack the camp, and was already on his way to meet us at the northern gates of the Xianyang. As long as we can hold on for a while, hold back the main forces of the Chu Army, then withdraw, and return and command the soldiers to use the defense of the camp for two hours, that is enough.
“Two hours? We won’t be able to stop him even after an hour. Mr Zhang, look, Xiang Yu has personally led the Chu Army Tiger Generals and elites to break through the first layer of defense. ” Tian Guang pointed to the distant camp entrance and said nervously.
Zhang Liang stood up and walked to the front of the arena, and passionately said: “Seeing that Xianyang has already fallen into the hands of the Allies, don’t you guys want to make some achievements at this crucial moment? As long as they can inflict heavy damage to the Chu Army Cavalry, using mediocrity in exchange for the enemy’s elite force, even if rivers of blood flow, it would still be worth it! ”
“But… “However, if we wait any longer, all of my men will die.” Han Guang said, flustered and exasperated.
“Kill ~ ~ ~” Chu Army had already attacked from three sides, clashing with the allied army guarding ahead.
Xiang Yu took the lead and entered the camp, holding the heavenly halberd, she shouted angrily: “Today, the This Overlord is in a massacre, all allies are to die!”
Ji Bu, Long Qie, Jing Tao, Teng Yan and the other generals rushed over while brandishing their long sharp blades, slaughtering all the soldiers who were defending. On the other side, Ying Bu, Pu Jie and the other generals also rushed over and broke through the railings and rolled down the trees, like tigers entering a flock of sheep.
“Oh my god, my three thousand warriors! Don’t let them all die!” Shen Yang’s eyes reddened. The remaining three thousand men only wanted to enter the Xianyang to get their hands on some treasures and beauties, then return back to their own territories to expand their strength and enjoy wealth. Without an army, they would even be considered fart kings!
Zhang Liang turned around and ordered the messenger, “Pass the order, retreat to the third line of defense. Han, Qi, and Wei will leave three thousand troops behind each to cut off the enemy’s retreat. After our troops push them out, we will set the camp on fire, break away from the pursuers and retreat towards the north entrance of Xianyang.” He had also experienced the bravery of the Chu Army. If they were to drag this on, none of them would be able to escape.
“Gu ~ ~ Dong Dong Dong ~ ~” After placing the command flag, the horn and the battle drum changed accordingly.
The soldiers below heard the sound of the drum and immediately retreated. They were not in the mood to fight, but they were surrounded by the Chu Army warriors who were too slow to fight back.
Zhang Liang, Wei Bao, Tian Guang and the others all went down the stage and retreated to the rear of the tent. There were Chu Army s attacking from both sides, and there was even a group of Chu Army Death Soldiers attacking from behind. Tian Rong, Han Guang and the others were stopped in their tracks and fought a fierce battle.
“Whoever captures Wan’er alive will be rewarded with 500 taels of gold!” Xiang Yu roared, her face revealing a sinister look, she laughed wildly: “Long Tianyu, I’ll do my best with your women, and let them beg for forgiveness under my crotch. Haha, I’ll let you have a taste of the This Overlord’s powerful methods!”
Just then, the Xianyang’s horn sounded out. The southern city gate was opened wide, and a huge group of people rushed out, leading the generals Guan Ying, Yu Ziqi, Zhang Yun and Wang Ling.
“It’s not good to be an overlord. The dragon army inside the city is charging towards the camp at the back of our army. Send a group of people back to support them!” Ji Bu suddenly suggested as he stood beside Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu thought about Yu Ji and Yueyao who were in the tent, his heart immediately sank, and she shouted: “Ying Bu and Zhang Han, lead the troops and continue to chase them down. Long Qie, Ji Bu will go back and fight with the Dragon Army to their heart’s content ~ ~”
