Chapter 6 Ambush II
This earth-shaking shout made Jing Qi tremble immediately. Looking up, Qin troops were densely packed on the cliffs on both sides, and the cold light of countless weapons seemed extremely cold in the cool morning light. Jing Qi was shocked and said, "What's going on? How can there be Qin troops here?"
At this moment, arrows were like rain on the cliffs on both sides, and tens of thousands of arrows roared down like blue meteors in the sky. The Chu army, who were caught off guard, were hit by arrows, blooming with strange blood flowers. The valley suddenly felt a tragic sound, and countless Chu soldiers fell to the ground heavily!
Immediately afterwards, the huge rock-beating wooden rolling wood made a rumble sound, jumping from the top of the mountain and colliding. Because the speed was too fast, the huge rocks and rolling wood couldn't help but make a "whirring" sound in the air, which scared the Chu army and ran around!
However, the valley was small, and the Chu army had no choice but to escape. They were knocked away for a while and countless people were crushed. The valley was abandoned for a moment with a dull sound of a cunning heavy object hitting the human body!
In just a short moment, corpses were everywhere in the valley and blood flowed into a river!
"Oh--!" The Qin soldiers on the top of the mountain were cheering when they saw this, and could not help but neigh and shout. While beating the Desheng drum, they tried hard to shake the flags to cheer! Jing Qi pulled his horse and looked up quickly, and the words "Meng" on the flags were staring at him!
Jing Qi couldn't help but be stunned: "The 'Meng' flag!? Could it be that the Mengwu army in Anyang has already rushed westward and attacked our army with Wang Jian from front to back!? Oh no! There are blockages in front and pursuers behind. If I don't fight to the death, my life will be over!"
Jing Qi tried hard to pull out the long sword and shouted: "Brothers, don't panic, hurry up and rush out of the canyon, as long as you rush out, it will be safe!" The Chu soldiers realized and were eager to escape. They rushed towards the entrance of the valley like a swarm of arrows and stones in the sky!
How could the Qin army be willing to let go? The arrows were not very lethal to the Chu Xiang Xiong soldiers, so they opened fire at the ordinary Chu army, and the attack direction of the rolling wood and rocks was mainly aimed at the Chu Xiang Xiong soldiers! Therefore, the Chu Xiang Xiong soldiers who were opening the way forward were continuously attacked by the Qin army one after another. The rainy huge rocks and rolling wood kept falling into the dense red figures, splashing blood flowers.
The poor brave and brave Chu Xiang elite soldiers were powerless at this time and were completely in a passive state of being beaten!
Xiang Liang saw a son of the Xiang family who died helplessly under the huge rock of the Qin army. He couldn't help but his eyes were so angry that he was about to climb the cliff and attack! Several deputy generals hurriedly held Xiang Liang and advised him: "Major General, don't be reckless. The Qin army in the Mongolian Army has a large number of people and has a good geographical advantage. Don't fight for force! Let's go quickly. If Wang Jian's troops catch up again, my entire army will be stopped!" Xiang Liang gritted his teeth and stared at the Qin army on the cliff for a long time, and then ordered viciously: "Let's go, this blood debt will be calculated later!"
For a moment, the people of Chu thought they were attacked from front and back and did not dare to fight, so they just tried their best to escape from the valley, leaving countless corpses along the way, and left in the desert!
...
The battle finally came to an end. The corpses of the Chu army were lying everywhere in the huge valley, and a strong smell of blood floated in the air; the originally majestic flags lay in scattered everywhere, almost trampled into rags by the chaotic army; from time to time, the baggage vehicles made a slashing sound, burning their last life in the bloody valley!
"Oh!" Although most of the Chu army had escaped from the siege, the outstanding military achievements at the bottom of the cliff made the Qin army feel happy, waving the weapons in their hands on the top of the mountain, jumping and jumping!
Li Xinzhi said to Fusu with pride: "Your Majesty, Jing Qi has led the remnants of troops to run east, so chase them immediately!" Fusu thought for a while and said: "Wait a moment and let him escape a little further! Our army is not under General Mengwu's headquarters, and it is much different from its number. Only by staying away from it, pursuing the Chu army as if it were close and farther away, so that Jing Qi would not be suspicious, and let them obediently get into the trap we set up!" "Here!" Li Xin nodded with a smile!
The Qin army rested for a while and boarded the horses one after another. Fifty thousand elite troops raised the smoke and dust from the sky and followed Jing Qi in a hurry!
In the next few days, Fusu and Li Xin led their troops to chase them all the way, staring at Jing Qi's butt, and launched fierce attacks from time to time, and at the same time ordered the army to pull their feet and hold more flags, which looked like tens of thousands of Mengwu Army chasing them in a hurry!
Jing Qi was indeed deceived. He thought that the main force of the Mengwu Army was chasing him desperately. Seeing that the Chu army had suffered great losses and the morale of the army had dispersed, he did not dare to fight or run to Anyang. He led the Chu army to the south and prepared to cross the Ru River to retreat to Xinying!
*******
In the early morning, the sun had just risen and everything had just woken up. The river bank west of the Ru River was already noisy: tens of thousands of Chu soldiers were preparing to cross the river, but people shouted that horses were neighing and the wheels were rolling. It was so lively! Last night, Jing Qi and others were busy all night and collected almost all the ships within a hundred miles of Ru Nu's shore. Some were used to build floating bridges and some were used to carry troops to cross the river. Finally, they made all preparations in the morning!
Jing Qi and Xiang Liang stood on a hill on the banks of Rushui, looking at the west from afar, smoke and dust rolling in the distance, and the large group of Qin troops were coming! Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiang Liang hurriedly said: "General Jing, the situation is not good, hurry up and cross the river, the Qin army is about to chase after him!"
Jing Qi hesitated and said, "But, the rear army still needs a lot of supplies but has not arrived!" Xiang Liang said anxiously, "Don't throw them all away. As long as there is someone, the supplies can be rebuilt! If the army is finished, it will never be gathered again for a while!"
Jing Qi gritted his teeth and ordered: "Tell me the general order, and the army will abandon all the baggage and cross the river with all their strength!" "Yes!" The messengers went down one after another and went to the various troops to pass on orders.
Soon, the Rushui began to get busy: countless Chu troops stepped across the long floating bridge like a long snake and rushed towards the east bank of the Rushui River. Ferries began to sail back and forth on the Rushui River to rush to ferry the army!
The army had just arrived one-third, and the shouts of the Qin army behind him were approaching. Jing Qi said anxiously: "Major General, it's too late. The army will be caught by the Qin army before crossing the river! It is a taboo for military strategists to fight halfway through. Send troops to quickly intercept the Qin army and fight for half a day!"
Xiang Liang gritted his teeth and said, "General Jing, don't panic. You lead the army to cross the river first. I will lead the elite troops of Chu Xiang to cut off the rear. I will definitely buy you half a day!" Jing Qi was very moved to see this and said, "The Qin army is brave, the major general must be careful!"
Xiang Liang nodded, galloped down, and drifted down the mountain like a white floating cloud. "Woooooo..." The strange horn sounded, and the Chu Xiangxiong soldiers who had been lined up on the west bank of Rushui suddenly held the weapons in their hands when they heard Ling!
Xiang Liang rushed to the front, suddenly grabbed Bai Jun from the crotch, shouting: "The warriors of my Xiang tribe, the Qin army is about to chase after me, but our army has not crossed the Rushui yet! For the safety of our Chu army's main force, we must block the Qin army west of Rushui for half a day! But what you will face will be ten times and twenty times your enemies. Are you timid?"
"No!" The majestic voice did not hesitate!
"Chu Xiang will win!" Xiang Liang pointed the long halberd in his hand towards the sky!
"Chu Xiang! Chu Xiang!..." Chu Xiang's soldiers shouted with great force. The continuous defeats did not make this unyielding force surrender. The boiling fighting spirit almost ignited their red armor!
"Follow me!" Xiang Liang shouted loudly, driving the white Feijun to the west!
"Kill--!" The elite soldiers of Chu Xiang shouted, stepped on the wet earth and flowed up hundreds of times. When the other brothers fled eastward, they were going to face countless enemy troops bravely!

"Report————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Fusu hurriedly stopped the war horse and shouted: "Stop moving forward!" "Right..." Amid the neighing of a horse like thunder, the galloping cavalry quickly stopped and waited for Hou's order!
Fusu shouted, "Get the map!" A military staff member quickly took out the map and presented it.
Fusu looked at the current situation and said to Li Xin: "General Li, General Mengwu's special envoy reported urgently yesterday that they had arrived from Anyang, less than fifty miles away from Rushui. I guess they must have ambushed on the east bank of Rushui now! And the Chu army must not have time to completely cross the river. It is estimated that tens of thousands of remaining troops have passed by at most half, which is a good time to attack halfway! As long as we can quickly defeat this elite Chu Xiang army, we will attack with General Mengwu from the east and west, Jing Qi will even lose his skin even if he dies!"
Li Xin heard this and said excitedly: "It's great. After our army's ambush the day before yesterday, there were only more than 5,000 people left! But our army still has 50,000, so I don't believe it. With ten to one, our army still has the advantage of morale and cannot beat them!"
Fusu nodded and said, "Yes, as long as you take this opportunity to flatten this elite Chu army, destroying Chu is only in the middle of overturning your hands!"
Immediately Fusu came to the army and shouted: "My Qin army soldiers, the most proud heroic troops in front of you are the Chu people: Chu Xiang Xiong soldiers! A year ago, they defeated my unbeaten heroic troops in Qin! But are you convinced?" "Don't accept it! Don't accept it!" The Qin army had already been full of anger, and they all slammed the ground with their halberds and shouted wildly!
"Okay! I am worthy of being my son of the Qin Dynasty! Now, the enemy is right in front of me, they are only 5,000, and we have 50,000! The enemy is already a dog that is lost, but we are tigers that have emerged! In this case, are you confident of fighting for them?" "Yes!" The Qin army raised their halberds in the sky, screaming wildly, and their fighting spirit was boiling to the extreme!
"Okay, take back the immortal honor of our Great Qin, flatten Chu Xiang! Kill—!" Fusu rode his horse and held his halberd and pointed straight ahead!
"Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Qin Feng..." The Qin cavalry roared like thunder, driving the angry war horses, like a huge tornado to face Chu Xiang Xiong's soldiers!
The battle between the brave is about to begin!
*******
The Qin army's galloping cavalry turned a corner and their vision suddenly became wider. A huge red cloud in front of the open space was quietly blocking the cloud road!
The fire-like armor, the fire-like fighting spirit, and the group of warriors with red eyes, the huge murderous aura emitted by this red cloud made Fusu feel a little shocked!
Fusu made up his heart and gritted his teeth: "The brave ones who meet on a narrow road will win! Today we must step down your Chu Xiang elite soldiers!"
"Kill—! The iron cavalry is invincible, only the Qin Dynasty!" Fusu neighed, waving the halberd in his hand, driving the war horse to run wildly! The wind whistling beside his ears, the fighting spirit in his heart almost made Fusu's eyes red like a burning fire!
"Ao Uh!" The Qin cavalry screamed like a wolf, storming and sweeping over the trembling earth!
"Four hundred steps!" the Chu people shouted!
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!..." The Chu infantrymen knocked on their shields with their weapons in their hands, making a uniform sound "dongdongdongdong..."! The dull sound was strong and powerful, and it was permeated with the surging fighting spirit and the heroic spirit of swearing to death!
"Three hundred steps!" The voice trembled more and more!
"Two hundred steps!" The voice was almost hoarse!
"One Hundred Steps-!" The long tail sound was not over yet, Xiang Liang waved his hand violently: "Infantry, go up!"
"Kill--!" More than 2,000 elite Chu Xiang soldiers held shields in their left hand and battle axes in their right hand, heavy swords and short spears, rolling up on the ground, like a ball of red fire clouds pounced on the Qin army!
Fusu suddenly thought about it and shouted: "Be careful of the horse's legs!" As soon as he finished speaking, the galloping cavalry formation had already collided with the Chu army infantry in passion!
At the moment when the two armies intersected, Chu Xiang's elite soldiers flexibly dodged the galloping war horses and covered their entire body with shields. The battle axes and giant swords in their hands greeted the horse's legs one after another!
"Bo——!" Countless Qin army horses neighed and fell heavily to the ground. Many Qin army cavalry fell to the ground suddenly with the horses, unable to hold back. They flew out like clouds and fog, and fell heavily to the ground! Either they broke their arms or their necks. Fortunately, they were still conscious before they got up, they were killed by the Chu Xiang infantry surrounding them and were killed by the flesh and blood!
Fusu was shocked and angry, and shouted again: "Pay attention to your feet! Hit the enemy's side and back!"
When the Qin army heard the order of the general, they immediately learned their lesson. When they saw the Chu Xiang infantry pounce on the ground, they lifted the reins of the horse heavily. The war horses were neighing, and the giant halberds immediately pierced down, penetrated heavily from the Chu army's heavenly spirit, reaching the internal organs, killing the Chu army like a broken doll!
"Oh--!" Seeing that the tactics worked, the Qin army cheered and wanted to do it in the same way! Unexpectedly, when the next group of Qin army replayed the same tricks controlled their mounts and soared into the air, the giant halberd was facing a solid shield!
"Boom!" At the muffled sound, the giant halberd was bounced back heavily, and then the Chu soldiers counterattacked: "Pu..." A sharp short spear quickly stretched out from behind the shield, and penetrated heavily from the horse's belly, turning the Qin army's men and the spurs into meat skewers; "Crack..." The heavy sword and battle axe also quickly extended from behind the shield, and actually cut off the hind hooves of the Qin army's war horse. The Qin army that landed on the ground was broken and dismembered the Chu army without waiting to get up!
For a moment, the Qin army's galloping cavalry was blocked by more than two thousand Chu soldiers. The warriors who fell to the ground like rain dyed the yellow earth red!
The Chu army's ability to adapt to changes is so excellent, and its close combat power is so fierce. Fusu couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning!
Suddenly, Fusu thought about it; the Three Talent Formation! When he looked up at the sky, a strange drum sounded in the riding formation: "Wuwuwuwu..."
As the trumpet sounded, the originally thunderous cavalry formation of the Qin army changed instantly: the Qin army suddenly formed a concave inverted triangle with three people as a small formation, and reorganized again to fight!
When the Chu army's fierce soldiers swept over the ground again, the Qin army's new attack formation showed its power: the Qin cavalry in the inner top of the inward triangle roared loudly and launched a violent attack on the Chu army. His attack was immediately blocked by the Chu soldiers with a strong shield. However, at this time, the Qin cavalry with two vertices on the front of the inverted triangle were busy defending the attack on the Qin cavalry! The Chu Xiang infantry immediately fell into the helpless dilemma of being attacked by the three sides!
"Puff..." In the warm morning sunshine, the tragic blood flowers of the Chu people quickly bloomed, and the bloody sky became particularly strange and bloody!
"Kill--!" As soon as the Qin army saw that the new formation was effective, they cheered and drove the huge army formation, instantly submerged more than 2,000 Chuxiang infantrymen in the black steel flood!
Looking high in the sky: in the huge black raging waves, little Firehong struggled hard, tenaciously resisting the black god of death's devour. However, Firehong was too small after all. In front of Black, which had a huge advantage, she finally couldn't resist it and quickly defeated and drowned in the raging waves of death!
However, the elite soldiers of Chu Xiang are worthy of being the most brave elite in the Chu State. When these outstanding warriors saw that they could no longer resist the Qin cavalry's rapid advance, they became angry and burned. They roared and roared, abandoned the shields to protect themselves, and rushed towards the Qin army coming from all directions! While the green spear of the Qin cavalry penetrated their bodies heavily, they also gave death to the Qin cavalry with the cold light in their hands!
One life is worth one life, and the courage of the Chu people is so heroic! In order to defend the national honor, they fulfilled the highest mission of a soldier: fight to the end and never give up!
Xiang Liang, who was behind the formation, saw that the battle was unfavorable, and the Chu Xiang infantry was seriously injured, and tears of sadness immediately poured into his eyes: These Chu Xiang elite soldiers were from the same tribe as Xiang Liang, and were all outstanding children of the Xiang family. Everyone was related to each other and had a common blood relationship! Then, because these Chu Xiang elite soldiers were relatives, Xiang Liang couldn't help but feel a huge pain when he watched his relatives die one after another on the battlefield!
"Ao Uh--" Xiang Liang was furious, as sad and angry as a raging wolf. His silver armor almost burned in the rushing fighting spirit, and his black eyes turned red. His whole body was like a furious god wolf king full of huge murderous aura!
