Chapter 8 Chu Shang

Under the crazy attack of the Qin army of the Mongolian Army, the Chu army east of Rushui had no ability to resist, suffered heavy casualties, retreated step by step, and dispersed towards the river bank!

Although Jing Qi commanded his personal soldiers to urge the Chu army to resist tenaciously behind the formation, the situation was stronger than others. No one of the Chu army, who had been defeated, followed any orders anymore, and ran around like a group of ducks frightened by poisonous snakes!

Seeing the army, which had originally had more than 100,000 people being chased and slaughtered by the ferocious Qin army in the rain all over the sky, Jing Qi was in tears!

"It's over, my 200,000 army, it's over!" Jing Qi suddenly felt a severe pain in his chest, a sweet throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, floating in the wind and rain all over the sky!

"General! General!" The guards beside them panicked and rushed up to support Jing Qi!

At this moment, before Jing Qi recovered, Fusu and Li Xin, who were west of Ru Nu, led the victorious Qin cavalry to chase after him, sprinkling a handful of salt on Jing Qi's already heartbroken wound!

"The Qin army is here! The Qin army is here! Chu Xiang is defeated! Chu Xiang is defeated! Brothers, run away quickly!"... The sound of panic cry for help from the Chu army who had not crossed the river on the west bank of Rushui came from the west bank of Rushui!

Immediately afterwards, the sound of iron hooves as anxious as thunder quickly approached the west bank, and the heart-wrenching screams of the Chu people were heard on the west bank! Jing Qi's face suddenly turned pale: "It's over, the remaining troops on the west bank are also over!"

Just when Jing Qi was a little dizzy, General Chu was running towards him and shouted: "General Jing, the situation is not good. A large number of Qin troops attacked from east to west. The Qin army was as powerful as the enemy, and our army could not stand it!"

Jing Qi was anxious and shouted: "How is the Major General?" She Xian was also anxious: "The Chu Xiang army has been defeated by the Qin army, and the remaining troops are scattered, and the major general's life and death are unknown!"

Jing Qi was stunned when he heard this. He listened to the Qin army shouting to kill him as he was getting closer and closer. He ordered with a dead face: "Send the order and the army breaks through the direction of Xinying. How much can it be?!" "Here!"

In an instant, Xinqiqi went out everywhere. Since the Chu army had no larger organization, Xinqiqiqizi ran and shouted: "General Jing has an order, and the army breaks through Xinying! The army breaks through Xinying!..."

When the Chu army heard this, they were in chaos and no longer had any intention of resistance. They fled to the south like a tide!

"Kill--!" At this time, the Qin army became more and more brave. They shouted and surrounded from all directions, driving the remaining Chu army to the river bank like a duck!

The Qin general Meng Wu rode on a war horse in the wind and rain all over the sky, commanding the Qin army's attack nearby! Everything went so smoothly, and the Chu people were so fragile. Although Meng Wu felt that his body was wet and cold and uncomfortable, the passionate flame in his chest made Meng Wu feel a desire to roar to the sky!

At this moment, the southern wing where the Qin army had just extended out was attacked by the Chu army who were eager to escape. They were in chaos for a while. Even though they resisted desperately, they could not stand it!

A cavalry messenger came to report: "Report——General Meng, the Chu army is organizing the remaining troops to break south! Our army has just arrived at the designated position, and is unprepared and cannot resist it. Please decide!"

Meng Wu was shocked when he heard this and said to himself: "It seems that the Chu people are still fighting with trapped beasts!" After thinking about it, he said: "Tell the South Wing troops and let them resist, and I will send reinforcements immediately!" "Here!" The messenger ran away in the wind and rain!

"Meng Xin!" "In!" In the wind and rain, a tall figure flashed behind Meng Wu. This was the confidant general of the Meng family who had followed Meng Wu for more than ten years!

"You lead the 5,000 reserve team to the south wing and must block the gap!" Meng Wu ordered sternly.

Meng Xin was stunned: "General, but I took away five thousand reserve teams. Isn't there no army around you to protect?" Meng Wu said furiously: "The Chu army has been defeated, and I am located behind the formation. What's the danger? Execute the army's orders quickly, otherwise you will definitely be killed!" Meng Xin was startled and hurriedly said: "Here!"

Meng Xin turned around and shouted: "Brothers, follow me! Kill the Chu army--!" "Kill..." The last five thousand reserve teams beside Meng Wu also entered the battle and disappeared in the wind and rain!

However, when Meng Xin led his arms to the southern wing of the Qin army like a fire, nearly 10,000 temporary defense lines organized by the Qin army were already desperately fleeing, and the brave Chu people rushed to pieces! A large number of remaining soldiers of the Chu army were ignoring the torrential rain, the mud on the ground, and fleeing to the south like crazy! Although the helpless Qin army fought back, they could not resist the courage of the Chu people trapped beasts and fighting, and the gap was torn bigger and bigger by the Chu army!

Seeing this, Meng Xin was anxious, wiped the rain on his face and shouted wildly: "Kill——! Don't let a Chu man go!" "Ao——!" The Qin soldiers shouted like a group of ferocious wolves, and stabbed them hard from the Chu army's side abdomen like a sharp axe!

The deserter of the Chu army was hit by a low waist and was suddenly defeated. The fighting spirit, which was already extremely weak, immediately fell to freezing point. When the orderly breakout broke out, it turned into a disorderly escape! When the Qin army's southern wing army saw reinforcements coming, they cheered and cheered, and fought hard, and slashed in a row, and suddenly blocked the gap!

The Chu army fleeing south was frightened when they saw the way to go again, and they were panicked and at a loss. Most of the Qin army around had already flocked to them!

"Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Qin Feng!..." The Qin people shouted loudly in the wind and rain, forcing the remaining tens of thousands of Chu troops to the narrow river bank with the neat and powerful military horns!

"Do not surrender! The Chu people will not surrender!..." The Qin army either stumbled on the ground with its halberds, or stamped the ground with its feet, and called in surrender to the Chu people according to ancient practices!

"The people of Chu will not surrender! The people of Chu will not surrender!..." "We will surrender! We will surrender!..." The shouts of different opinions from the Chu army came from the wind and rain!

Meng Wu frowned: "There are still people who dare not surrender! I really don't know how to live or die!" He ordered: "Beat the urgent drums and advance, and all those who do not surrender will be killed!" "Here!" Dozens of war drums on the chariot sounded again in the heavy rain, and huge sounds came like waves of rapid waves!

"Kill--!" Seeing that the last opportunity for military merit came, the Qin army cheered and jumped over the front, which seemed a little staggering because of several heads hanging on them, and rushed towards the Chu people!

In the eyes of the Qin army, the Chu people in front of them were prey, food, luxury houses, and beautiful wives, so the fanatics did not hesitate at all, and then raised the weapons in their hands and scrambled to grab them!

On the muddy river bank, countless pale-faced Chu soldiers knelt in the muddy water deep, holding their weapons high above their heads, hoping to escape to death!

The ferocious Qin army stepped on the flying mud and rushed past the surrendered soldiers of the Chu army, shouting and pounced on the remaining Chu army who were still fighting to the death! Seeing this, the surrendered soldiers of the Chu army couldn't help but feel relieved. They knew that they could escape in the end, so they couldn't help but sit in the mud and water, fearing!

The battle on the east bank of Rushui was coming to an end. In the end, the remaining Chu soldiers were either killed on the spot or driven into the vast Rushui under the urgent attack of the Qin soldiers!

At this time, due to the large number of Qin troops and the small number of Chu troops, many of the Qin troops in the back team had time to kill the enemy and make merits, and the battle was almost over. The Qin army, who had a hot temper and were fond of military merit, became anxious. Several people often surrounded and killed a Chu man. No matter whether the Chu man surrendered or fought at this time, they would cut off the Chu man's heads like crazy. There were even swords and weapons to meet each other! For a moment, a small riot occurred in the military formation where the Qin army bravely attacked!

At this time, the law enforcement team in the Qin army appeared, and they rushed forward with their halberds! The Qin army who robbed the enemy's head were shocked when they saw this. They knew that the law enforcement team was not guilty of killing the rioters, so they couldn't help but frighten and scattered, rushing into the military formation and continuing to attack forward, hoping to gain favor from heaven in the last chance!

Suddenly, a Qin army shouted and, led by a team of Qin cavalry, killed the last Chu army guarding the floating bridge on the river bank like a shackle and broke through the waves, and came to the side of the floating bridge!

A Qin army lieutenant looked at the Chu army that was still crowded on the floating bridge. At this time, the Chu army was blocking the front and pursuers behind them. They were unable to advance and retreat on the floating bridge, and they cried in panic as the ups and downs of the waves!

The Qin army lieutenant looked at the roaring Rushui, suddenly had an idea, waved his hand, and said cruelly: "Cut off the floating bridge and let all the Chu people go to see the river god!" "Oh!——" The Qin army, who were excited by the fierce fighting, screamed strangely when they heard the Ling, smirked and waved the weapons in their hands, and chopped down heavily under the terrified faces of the Chu army on the floating bridge!

"One! Two! Three!..." "Bang! Boom! Boom! Boom!" A crisp collapse sound flashed in the rain, and the sixteen thick cables connecting the pontoon bridge to the solid bridge piers broke one by one. The floating bridge, which had already fluctuated with the turbulence, immediately trembled violently like a small boat in the vast ocean! The Chu people cried and shouted, couldn't stand on the pontoon bridge, pulled each other and fell into the surging torrent, and were swallowed by the god of death without even a whirlpool!

"Bow!" This collapse sound was a greeting of death to the Chu army on the floating bridge! Amid the wailing sound of the Chu people who were frightened and looked like earth, the last cable that relied on to maintain the stability of the floating bridge was also cut off by the Qin army!

"Crash...Crack..." As the cable broke, a fierce wave rolled up rapidly, and a wave rushed the floating bridge that had no place to rely on. The sound of the floating bridge being smashed by the big waves was filled with the sound of breaking the ferry under the floating bridge being crushed by the big waves. A leaf ferry under the floating bridge was also rolled around by the huge waves, and countless people overturned.

The Chu people on the floating bridge also reached the point of life. As huge waves fell into the river one after another, the heads of people floated on the surging and wide river surface, and the wailing sounds were heard! The Chu people struggled, shouted, and tried hard to break free from the embrace of the god of death! However, the huge power of the violent nature burst out destroyed their last hope. As the huge waves rushed one after another, soon, the Ru River became quiet! Apart from the still turbulent river surface, there was no life!

The remaining battles continue, but at this time they can no longer be called battles, they can be called unilateral slaughter...

The rain gradually stopped, and the sun poked its head out of the clouds, showing a bright smile! In the distant sky, a huge rainbow was raised in the air, emitting colorful light, which looked particularly spectacular and beautiful!

However, the air after the rain should have been clear and natural, but at this moment, the Rushui shore is bloody and pungent!

Looking around, corpses floating on both sides of Rushui for dozens of miles, and the bodies of Chu people who were killed in battle were stacked layer by layer, almost submerging the earth! Teams of Qin soldiers were cleaning the battlefield in the mud that reached their feet. They carried out the body of a Chu people who had already been soaked in a little swelling out of the turbid mud and prepared to gather together to bury them!

However, the Qin army who died on land could do their best to let them get buried! However, the Qin army who died in the Ru River had no choice but to look at the Ru River from a high altitude, and floating corpses drifted downwards on the wide and rushing river surface. The huge number made the clouds in the sky still feel a little sad! In the narrow part of the river, a large number of dead bodies accumulated so that even the Ru River could not flow for a while. As the water level continued to rise, the water overflowed the embankment and washed countless fertile fields on both sides!

Near Rushui, a huge morgue for the Chu army, was here for tens of thousands of Chu army corpses in this battle! The main force of Jing Qi's front army no longer exists!

*******

The next morning, Rushui, which was violent due to the heavy rain, finally calmed down. Fusu, who was waiting on the river bank, finally took a ferry to cross the Ru Nu to meet Meng Wu!

Far from afar, the tall and majestic Meng Wuzheng led the main generals of the Qin army to welcome the marquis on the shore! Fusu got off the boat and bowed and smiled, "General Meng, generals, thank you for your hard work!" "I have seen you!" Everyone saluted one after another!

"I'm fine, I'm fine! General Meng, what was the result of the battle yesterday? Did the chief general of the Chu army have ever caught it?" Fusu asked happily.

Meng Wu smiled and said, "It's a great victory! Our soldiers killed a total of 100,000 Chu troops on the east coast, capturing more than 100,000 Chu troops, but Jing Qi himself managed to lead the remaining troops to escape!"

Fusu said with regret: "There are 20,000 people in the west bank, and with the death of the Ru River, Jing Qi's 200,000 troops may not be able to do anything intact! It's a pity that Jing Qi was not captured, otherwise this battle would be perfect!"

Meng Wu smiled and said, "Although Bi Qigong is a good thing in one battle, the world is often not as good as others wish! What instructions do you have for the current situation?" Fusu smiled and waved his hand and said, "General Meng is polite. I am just a military supervisor this time, I will help you! When it comes to commanding the battle, I am overpowering! It's better for General Meng to break up, and I will lead my troops to cooperate!"

Seeing how enlightened Fusu was, Meng Wu couldn't help but praise him in his heart, and smiled and said, "Then let's do it first. I will send the baggage troops of the Later Army to build a floating bridge on the Ru River first, so that the troops of the Lord will cross the river and gather with our troops. However, our troops will take action based on the military situation! How?"

Fusu nodded and said, "There was a heavy rain yesterday, which probably destroyed many roads. The battle situation between the Old General Wang and Xiang Yan's rear army has not been heard from him! Wait, with the specific location of the Chu army, we will send troops to cooperate with the Old General to wipe out the Chu army!"

Meng Wu nodded and immediately ordered the Qin army to start building a floating bridge on the Ru River! By the afternoon, the floating bridge was completed, and Li Xin on the west bank led the cavalry to cross the river overnight and all arrived at the east bank of the Ru River!

Until the evening, when Fusu and Meng Wu were discussing military information in the military camp on the east coast, a personal soldier suddenly came to report that General Wang Jian had a messenger! Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this, "I'm finally here, call me!" The personal soldier took the order and retreated!

The late messenger walked into the tent in a hurry. Fusu looked up and couldn't help but be startled: The tall messenger's clothes were broken, his face was thin, and his body was covered with dirt. He was not much better than a beggar! Fusu said in surprise: "How did the messenger look like this?"

The messenger smiled bitterly and said, "The villain should have arrived yesterday, but when the heavy rain and the mountain torrents collapsed the road, the villain had to walk around the rugged path. The path was very dangerous, and there were many places where horses could not go. The villain walked out of the mountains for a whole day and night, but it became like this! Fortunately, the secret message was still there, and it was intact, and the villain finally did not work hard for nothing!"

Fusu was moved and said, "Thank you for your hard work in the messenger. Come and give me ten kilograms of gold. Take it for a good rest!" "Here!" The soldiers took the messenger down!

Fusu took the brocade box quickly, removed the hot paint, and took out the military bamboo slips wrapped in oil cloth. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw it: It's intact! After a closer look, Fusu handed the bamboo slips to Meng Wu, and Meng Wu also read it!

The two of them came to the battle sand table at the same time and looked at the situation. After looking for a while, Fusu said, "General Wang Jian said that Xiang Yan's troops were severely injured by our army near Donggang, and fled eastward. Later, after hearing that Jing Qi was ambushed by our troops, he also determined that it was the work of General Meng's troops. So, he thought he had been attacked by front and back, so he did not dare to go east and led the remaining Chu troops to cross the Ru River from the south to retreat to Xinying! Xiang Yan was indeed cunning. Although this was a bit of a detour, he could avoid the head-on interception of General Meng and me! I see the situation, Xiang Yan should have crossed the Ru River now, but with the old general Wang chasing him, I am afraid that his troops will suffer heavy casualties!" Fusu looked at the good situation, and naturally he was full of spring breeze!

Meng Wu nodded and said, "Yes! Xiang Yan is much more cunning than Jing Qi. It is not so easy to wipe out him! Now Jing Qi's remaining troops are also advancing south, and they may have joined forces with Xiang Yan's remaining troops. Our army should send troops immediately and cooperate with General Wang to pursue the Chu army and annihilate as much as possible the Chu army's vitality. In this way, our army will save more effort in the future attack on Xinying!"

Fusu nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow morning, I and General Li will lead 40,000 troops to go first, and General Meng will be fine afterwards!" Meng Wu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty and Chu Xiang have a fierce battle. Although Chu Xiang is basically wiped out, there are many casualties. Will I draw another 10,000 cavalry to help the battle?"

Fusu shook his head and said, "No need, is it necessary to pursue the enemy? There should be no overly strong counterattack! However, I thought about it and felt a pain. In the battle between the West Bank and Chu Xiang, although almost all five thousand elite Chu Xiang soldiers were wiped out, but nearly 10,000 were killed or injured in our headquarters. It was a real tragic victory! Especially the loss of "Wolf Fang. Pojun" was nearly half. I am afraid that if I want to recover my vitality, it will not work in less than a year or two! It's really hateful!"

Seeing that Fusu was a little angry, Meng Wu comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much! Even so, it is still a great achievement for you to fight hard to wipe out Chu Xiang in one battle. After the battle to destroy Chu is over, you can select brave men from each army to make up for it!" Fusu had no choice but to nod in pain, but in his heart he greeted Xiang Yan and Xiang Liang's ancestors!
