Legends in Chu and Han - C313
The next day, an overwhelming majority of Chu Army’s generals gathered on top of the tower at the east gate of Lan Tian City.
Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng, Ji Bu, Zhang Han, Long Qie, Pu Jie, Ying Bu and more, all of them were around 30 plus years old, raising their heads to look at the distance, quietly awaiting the arrival of reinforcements. This army of 100,000 was formed from the conquest of Chu, and all of them were disciples of the Jiangdong.
It was only when Fan Zeng sent his messenger over that the reinforcements found out that the Qin Dynasty had been annihilated. Long Tianyu was the first to take over the Xianyang and become the king of the fortress.
It was as if a calm lake had suddenly appeared on the horizon. The dazzling sunlight shined on the lake’s surface like a mirror. At the same time, muffled thunder could be heard and the earth began to shake inexplicably.
Flowing light rippled, and the light reflected by the Dark Hammer Armor was gorgeous …
Suddenly, a group of cavalry soldiers were the first to rush out from their line of sight, raising a billowing cloud of dust. The rumbling sounds of horses’ hooves mixed with the clang of Armour.
The mountain wind rustled the dust and soil in front of the cavalry’s hooves, and the cold air rushed out of the armor. The iron cavalry and the intimidating military might caused the wind at the border of the mountains to die down, and the only sounds that could be heard were the flapping of the banners and the galloping of the horses’ hooves.
“They’re here, haha, our reinforcements are here.” Fan Zeng faced the extremely far away banner and cavalry, and finally let go of the worry in his heart. With the support army rushing over in time, the Hong Gate Feast could begin in time, and once the army had been deployed, all the rights to life and death would be in our hands. At that time, even if any of the dukes disagreed, they would not make the right decision.
Xiang Yuxiong’s heart soared once again, the military power in her hands was already in her grasp, she was very confident, but she could not say it during the banquet. Using troops to kill others was not impossible!
Very quickly, the vanguard cavalry rode over, their flags fluttering, one of the Lieutenant s called out: “General Zhou Lan greets Senior General Zhou Lan!”
Xiang Yu asked, “How many men and horses are in the vanguard and how many Li is the army?”
Zhou Lan replied: “Five thousand cavalrymen from the vanguard, rushing here to inform us, the army behind is divided into thirty thousand cavalrymen, ten thousand carriages, thirty thousand heavy armoured infantry, ten thousand light armoured infantry, ten thousand archers, and the transport team escorting the food and supplies at the back, a total of ten thousand troops, all of them together. They are now eight miles away from Lantian City, and will arrive in an hour.”
Xiang Yu laughed loudly, and said in high spirits: “Good job, people, the city gates are open, let’s welcome the reinforcements into the city!”
Lieutenant Zhou Lan led the Vanguard Cavalry to enter the city first.
After a while, one hundred thousand reinforcements arrived in a long snake formation. Banners, armors, and spears covered the vast earth like snow. The soldiers wore neat armors and formal equipment.
“It’s a pity. If the reinforcements had arrived two days earlier, they would have completely annihilated all those rioters in the Alliance!” Fan Zeng sighed with emotion as he looked at the formal army of West Chu.
, Long Qie, Ying Bu, Huan Chu and the rest all stared with their eyes wide open. With the support from the dragon army, their fighting strength had increased by a few fold, even if they tried to attack the Xianyang fiercely, they would still have a chance of winning.
In a moment, the confidence on the tower soared. All of the generals regained their fighting spirit!
“General Xiang Sheng pays her respect to the Senior General!”
“This lowly general will stay for a period of time to pay his respects to the great general!”
“This General Wei Wuzhi …”
The generals that brought their troops over bowed at the same time. The army behind suddenly stopped, the Armour s began to clang, the sound was powerful and vigorous, and a huge amount of heads started to surge.
“Xiang Zhuang? Xiang Bo? ” When Xiang Yu saw the two figures of the reinforcements, she was suddenly stunned. Didn’t they get surrounded and annihilated by Zhang Han outside of Tuan Guan?
“Uncle Xiang Bo, brother Xiang Zhuang, is it really you two?” Xiang Yu asked in surprise.
Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Bo, and Zhou Yin alighted from the horse and Xiang Bo said excitedly: “I was lost that day in the encirclement, and was exiled among the mountains. On the way, I encountered Commander Xiang Sheng’s reinforcements, who just happened to advance along with Lucian.
“Everyone, Wild Qin has already been annihilated, but we have yet to take revenge for our national grudges. The wealth of the Xianyang City has its own citizens, the beautiful women in the palace have our unfortunate Chu Nation women, Ying Zheng has snatched it away from the hands of the Chu people, we will snatch it back alive! Qin Dynasty is dead, but the Qin have not died out. Xiang Yu was filled with a domineering aura, agitating her reinforcements’ fighting spirit and fighting spirit.
The hundred thousand Chu Army s struck their weapons and roared like thunder: “Kill the Qin! Kill the Qin! ”
Zhang Han, Sima Xin, Lu Jianli and the other generals who had pledged their allegiance to the Chu Army had uneasy expressions on their faces. After all, they were once Qin men.
Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Yu from the side. While admiring the handsome general’s ability, he could not help but sigh that his desire to kill was too strong, if she truly wanted to kill all of the Qin people, the world would probably go against him. If she lost the hearts of the people, how could she fight for the world? However, he didn’t know how to explain this to Xiang Yu. He thought to himself that when he returned to the hall, he must advise Xiang Yu not to disturb the citizens and start a massacre even after she had entered the Xianyang. This would cause public outrage.
Xiang Yu didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with her words as she said arrogantly: “The road to Qin Xing Chu is just ahead, whoever dares to take the Chu Army’s grand plan of dividing the world, will be eliminated! Haha… The great army will temporarily rest and adjust their pace after entering the city. After noon, we will gather the Hong Sect and prepare to divide up the territories of the Great Qin with the various dukes! ”
A hundred thousand reinforcements entered the city one after another. Since they did not prepare as many pavilions as possible, they rested in the open air, the military stove burned with smoke, the smoke rose in spirals, and the war horses hissed, causing Qin Chuan’s Southern Mountain Pass, which was in a state of desolation, to become even more noisy.
Xiang Sheng, Zhou Lan, Liu Gongsheng, Wei Wuzhi and the other generals came to the main hall and handed over King Chu’s imperial edict and Li Xiang’s secret command. They were simply giving rewards to the generals at the front lines, giving them the rewards to boost their morale according to their military merits.
Outside, no one would be willing to accept any orders!
With power in hand, Xiang Yu did not even put the King Chu in her eyes, she snorted coldly and threw the imperial edict onto the table, then shouted at the twenty to thirty generals present: “Qinwangzi baby has surrendered to Long Tianyu’s allies in the Xianyang, Long Tianyu has sealed up all of the treasures between the Qin Palace and E Panggong, and is preparing to divide it up. Only the one missing is this the Chu Army, this time our army is stationed at the Hong Gate, and has invited the Alliance over to seal the world, Long Tianyu will definitely come, and all the troops will come along as well. At that time, we will return to Chu Yue and the Pengcheng. If they don’t come, we’ll prepare ourselves to break into the city and ambush them at night! ”
The generals nodded in agreement. Facing the high official position and the treasure beauty, they were a little impatient, but they knew in their hearts that in order to get the rewards, they had to go through the consent of the Dragon Army. Other than Xiang Sheng, Zhou Lan and the others, who did not understand the power of the Alliance, the other generals were very afraid of the Dragon Army.
Xiang Yu then spread out the military map and pointed at the map for the strategic deployment. First, he divided the hundred thousand troops into five groups, one of which consisted of his ten thousand Great Desert Cavalry soldiers, reinforcements archers and heavy armored soldiers, which were all stationed at the Hong Men Camp, the other four groups were split into four parts, east, west, east, to prevent any escape or attack from the outside, and set up their respective generals: “Ji Bu, Long Qie, Zhou Lan, east, south, Huan Chu, Zhou Yin, north.
All the generals commanded, but Fan Zeng suddenly laughed sinisterly: We have already written the peace agreement, and are waiting for the allied forces to take the bait, but, we still have to choose a suitable person to go to the Xianyang as bait, who can take the responsibility?
The generals and aides in the hall felt the danger and could not react in time. Suddenly, a person in the corner of the Chu Army stood up and replied: “General Chen Ping is willing to send this letter of truce to the Xianyang!”
