“What did you say?”
Listening to Long Tho’s return, Xiang Yu suddenly felt a bit dazed.
Long Tho froze for a while and once again returned, the
“Yu Ziqi, Zhong Li Chair and the two armies have already defected nine times out of ten!”
Xiang Yu seemed to have come back to his senses at this time, and with a few scowls, he said.
“Didn’t I warn them long ago! Why didn’t they take precautions earlier! Why didn’t they use military law!”
With today’s warning during the day, he had also anticipated that there would be defections from the sergeants.
That was why he had also specially cautioned the two, but he had not expected such news to come at this late hour of the night.
Long Tho returned at this time in a nebulous manner.
“Your Majesty, at the very beginning there were people sent to intercept and also to execute military justice on a few people, but… Later, the people who carried out the military justice also escaped together.”
When he just heard the news from the two men, he was actually a little taken back.
With two military camps, there were actually less than 20,000 people left today!
Forty to fifty thousand people had fled!
It’s simply unimaginable!
Hearing this, Xiang Yu could not help but fall into a moment of silence.
The people around him naturally did not dare to make a sound either, and at this time, the singing from all sides became clearer and clearer.
It’s just that these originally familiar songs of the Chu land have made Xiang Yu even more upset, and in a cold voice, he said.
“Who is still clamouring! Why don’t you hurry up and stop!”
Upon hearing the order, the surrounding people however looked at each other in disbelief, and finally, it was Long Tho who replied back, the
“Your Majesty, the singing is coming from the Qin army’s side.”
“Qin army?”
Xiang Yu froze again.
This four-sided Chu song, but why is it from the Qin army?
The people of Chu have all returned to Qin?
An incomparable feeling of emptiness rushed to Xiang Yu from all around.
A great doubt also surged into Xiang Yu’s mind.
Supplies, built equipment, and forcibly conscripted provisions.
Instead, they hurt themselves!
And the Qin army, both the farmers and those Confucians.
That’s the real killing move of the Qin army!
They’re vainly attempting to use tangible weapons against intangible attacks.
It’s simply the opposite!
This war, from the very beginning, both sides were not on the same level!
How can they not lose?
Xiang Yu has also comprehended some of this at this time, but it is all too late now.
“Prepare early, what else can this king prepare for?”
Xiang Yu said with a few miserable moments.
For the sake of this battle, he has squeezed clean the entire Chu land.
Nowadays, the nobles and gentry of Chu land and the commoners are all avoiding the Chu army.
If he won this time, he would still be able to use the prestige of a great victory to silence these objections.
And now it lost.
Seeing Xiang Yu’s dishevelled appearance, Long Tho was also somewhat stunned in his heart.
He had never seen his opponent like this.
But still, he quickly advised that
“Your Majesty, the plan today is that our army should break out as soon as possible, cross the Wu River, and return to Jiangdong!”
“Gather the men and defend along the river!”
Xiang Yu, however, is somewhat indifferent and just said coldly that
“Cross the river? This king only wants to fight Zhao Lang to the death!”
Long Tho saw that the situation is not right, if it goes on like this, then everyone will wait for death tomorrow!
Slowly exhaling a breath, Long Tho exclaimed at this time that
“Your Majesty! Now the lives of all the generals are at your whim! ”
But Xiang Yu is still unmoved.
He had already given his all long ago, but he was still not Zhao Lang’s opponent.
This time, he must ask Zhao Lang face to face why!
At this time, the camp tent on the side moved, and Yu Ji walked out from inside.
Looking at the charming Yu Ji, Xiang Yu only came back to his senses and said.
“Why did you come out? It is windy outside and the night is cold, wait for me in the tent.”
With that, he pushed Yu Ji back inside the tent without any hesitation.
Seeing this scene, Long Tho’s heart moved slightly and said.
“Your Majesty! Even if it’s not for the sake of the generals, you have to think about Miss Yu.”
Hearing this, Xiang Yu was slightly stunned and
“Yu Ji.”
Thinking about Yu Ji’s delicate appearance, and her concern for him, Xiang Yu could not help but look slightly moved.
Indeed, he has to think about Yu Ji ah!
After he sends Yu Ji back to Jiangdong and settles down, he will come back to fight Zhao Lang to the death!
Slowly taking a breath, Xiang Yu said at this time that
“Long Tho, what is your plan?”
Seeing that Xiang Yu finally stopped seeking death, Long Tho’s heart was both happy and disappointed.
The happy one is naturally that Xiang Yu has regained his fighting spirit.
Disappointed is that this fighting spirit is not for national issues, but for a woman!
The Chu Ba Wang who swallows the sky with his bravado has disappeared!
Although the heart is emotional, but Long Tho did not delay too much, directly said.
“Your Majesty, we should take advantage of the time when the Qin army is gathering the surrendered soldiers to break out as soon as possible with the help of the night!”
“Pass through the Wu River and rejoin Jiangdong! Then we can plan for the future!”
Xiang Yu nodded, since he has already made up his mind, he no longer hesitates and said.
“Let Yu Ziqi, Zhong Li Chair take the remaining remnants and break out to the two sides to attract attention! The Qin army will definitely pursue!”
“Wait for the Qin army to be confused, then we will open the way with cavalry! We’ll break through from the weakest west!”
Xiang Yu quickly arranged a plan to break out!
When it comes to military, he is still extremely good at it.
Long Tho also led the order to leave at this time.
Xiang Yu also re-entered the tent and told Yu Ji to get ready, then he put on his armour, took his weapon and prepared for battle.
When he left, he also asked Duan to take care of Yu Ji on the way.
Not long after, the entire Chu army moved!
In the midst of the Chu song on all sides, Yu Ziqi and Zhong Li眛 led the Chu army’s diehards and launched an attack in the direction of the Qin army!
The battles that didn’t erupt during the day finally erupted at night!
Soon, the Qin army camp received the news!
“The Chu army has broken out!?”
Hearing the news, Zhao Lang wasn’t surprised, he just didn’t expect that the other side’s response would be so swift and resolute!
“Han Xin! I’ll leave the interception of the enemy to you!”
Han Xin didn’t say anything more, every second now was extremely important!
He directly led the order to leave with his men.
“Big Dog, tell the Holy Maiden to stabilise the farmers!”
“Ying Bu, watch over the Chu army that just surrendered!”
“Supreme Secretary Meng, sit in the centre of the army and prevent civil unrest!”
Zhao Lang quickly responded.
Everyone received orders one by one, only Meng Yi stayed in the tent, looking at Zhao Lang with some nervousness, the
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, you don’t want to go and join the war, do you!”
“Night battles are dangerous, you can’t go into danger all by yourself!”
There was no way he would let Zhao Lang go to the war.
It was at this point, Zhao Lang’s safety was more important than anything else!
Moreover, there were too many uncertainties in a night battle, and death at the hands of one of their own was a possibility.
Zhao Lang revealed a smile at this time, and returned.
“Just don’t worry about it, Minister Meng, I won’t participate in the battle this time.”
“Moreover, there will be a retreat towards the back.”
Hearing this, Meng Yi was stunned and thought to himself that there is such a good thing?
Then he laughed out loud and said.
“Good good good! It’s safer for His Highness the Crown Prince to retreat backwards!”
“Come, come, come, the old minister will arrange it for you!”
He couldn’t wait for Zhao Lang to retreat to the very back!
With that, he personally pulled Zhao Lang towards the back to withdraw.
Zhao Lang followed extremely obediently this time, and when Hu Hai on the side heard that there was such a good thing, how could he let it go?
He hurriedly followed.
Soon, in the midst of a warring sound, Meng Yi personally sent Zhao Lang on his horse, looking at the five hundred youth army, one thousand elite Qin army, and one thousand peasant army.
Surrounding Zhao Lang towards the rear.
Only then did Meng Yi slowly let out a sigh of relief, and then returned to his tent, fully preparing to deal with the Qin army that had broken out!
At this moment, Zhao Lang left the area of engagement, of course he would not retreat backwards.
Nor would he go into battle.
Instead, he ordered.
“To the river crossing!”
Hearing the order, the Junior Army and the Peasant Army naturally had no problem with it.
They were Zhao Lang’s diehard loyalists!
Wang Li, who was leading the Qin army, hesitated but still agreed as well.
It was fine if Zhao Lang didn’t go to the engagement zone anyway.
Soon, the group headed towards the river.
“Brother Long, what are we doing at the river?”
Hu Hai, who was following Zhao Lang, asked.
He didn’t understand what Zhao Lang was doing at the river at this late night.
Zhao Lang returned bashfully and
“Waiting for someone.”
Hu Hai was even more confused and
“Waiting for someone?”
Who are you waiting for in the middle of the night?
Zhao Lang, however, didn’t explain and just smiled as he looked in the direction of the engagement.
He knew that Xiang Yu would definitely be able to break out.
Whether it was in his last life, or in this life.
Xiang Yu has never actually lost a battle!
No one can stop him!
Individual bravery is the best in the world!
This is a fact!
Even if he died in his last life, it was a suicide.
Just lost the war.
That’s why he had to come early to wait for the other side.
It’s just in case in case the other side doesn’t commit suicide, say, he’ll have to help out.
In his hand, he had already prepared three arrows that helped with the ‘Justice’ grenade, this time, Xiang Yu would surely die if he didn’t surrender!
All the way to the riverside ferry, Zhao Lang directly commanded that the
“Wang Li, bring people to ambush on both sides.”
“Nu, bring the men here.”
Wang Li froze for a moment, then looked at Nu bringing Xiang Bo, Xiang Zhuang, and Fan Zeng over.
He immediately understood something with a pale face.
But it has come to this, there is no way for him to refuse!
He could only follow Zhao Lang’s orders and lead his men to ambush the surroundings under the cover of the night.
At this time, even Xiang Bo, who was on the side, understood that the
“Brother Zhao, are you trying to ambush Yu’er?”
Zhao Lang nodded with a smile and
“There are some things that I still want to say to him.”
Xiang Bo nodded his head and said, with a little bit of solicitude.
“I’ll help you persuade him later.”
Zhao Lang was about to reply when Xiang Zhuang, who was on the side, coldly said.
“You guys aren’t afraid that A Yu alone will kill through you! Hmph, at that time, behind you is the Wu River, and you won’t even have a place to escape!”
He has absolute confidence in Xiang Yu’s force!
Of course, this is also to scare the other party and give way to the passage.
Because even if Xiang Yu kills Zhao Lang, he will be exhausted by these Qin troops!
Zhao Lang didn’t fight with the other party at this time, but raised a torch and waved it regularly in the direction of the river for a while.
In the next instant, a streak of light lit up from the surface of the river.
A large ship, and dozens of small boats, appeared on the surface of the river!
Not long after, a small boat slowly docked, and a young sailor walked up to Zhao Lang and
“Fish Egg has met the Lord.”
Looking at the fish egg in front of him, which had already slightly faded away from its greenness, Zhao Lang blandly said.
“Block off the river.”
“Yes!”
Fish Egg then led the order to leave.
At this moment, everyone was stunned, no one had thought that Zhao Lang had actually set up the ship here a long time ago!
Xiang Zhuang directly blanched.
Fan Zeng, who hadn’t said anything, closed his eyes.
Every step they took was almost expected by Zhao Lang.
No one could win in this situation!
The gaze that Nu looked at Zhao Lang was as if he was revering a god.
Of course he knew about this order from Zhao Lang, but he didn’t think that it would actually be answered here.
Only Hu Hei on the side was full of envy, this kind of invisible beeping, he also wanted to learn.
Just without letting them wait too long, a sound of cavalry galloping came from the distance.
Everyone tensed up slightly, they knew that the person coming should be Xiang Yu!
Xiang Zhuang, who was at the side, regardless of his life, wanted to raise his voice as a warning, but was stuffed into his mouth by a piece of rag from Nu who was prepared for this.
His hands and feet were tied, but he was unable to defend himself.
Soon, the cavalry quickly approached, before they even got close to the river, everyone heard a shout.
“Boatman! Quickly dock!”
Just in the next instant, countless torches were lit up all around, illuminating the surroundings!
It was the Qin army led by Wang Li.
The silhouettes in the darkness were also revealed to the crowd.
The person in the lead, although covered in blood, was none other than Xiang Yu, and behind him was a group of several hundred cavalrymen!
Xiang Yu also saw Zhao Lang by the river.
The two have once again met on the battlefield.
The two looked at each other, and after a while of silence, Zhao Lang spoke first, and
“Ah Yu!”
Xiang Yu said back.
“Gongzi Wave.”
“Today, we are finally going to decide a life and death!”
“Come, go with your entourage!”
Hearing the other party’s appointment, Zhao Lang, however, slowly shook his head and
“Ah Yu, this battle is no longer about you and me.”
“I only have one question that I want to ask you again.”
Xiang Yu laughed out loud at this time.
“Gongzi Lang, you don’t need to ask more, I, Xiang Yu, will never surrender in this life!”
Although Zhao Lang had foreseen this in his mind, he still pointed at Xiang Bo and the others behind him and
“Yu, for the sake of your friends and family, for the sake of your soldiers, can’t you just be soft for once!”
To be honest, he did feel somewhat reluctant to part with such a world-unrivalled fierce general.
Xiang Yu at this time, however, did not falter in the slightest and did not even argue with Zhao Lang about all this, instead, he snapped, saying.
“Gongzi Lang, if you want to take my life, let your horse come!”
“There is no need to talk too much!”
With the matter at hand, Zhao Lang no longer dwelled on it and directly raised the bow and arrow in his hand!
By killing Xiang Yu, his own soldiers will also have fewer casualties.
Looking at Zhao Lang’s arrow, a hint of despair also surfaced on Xiang Yu’s face, it was impossible for him to escape the power of this arrow!
Zhao Lang opened his bow and drew the arrow, aiming at Xiang Yu!
Right at this moment, a long-lost mechanical tone rang in his heart, and two choices appeared before his eyes…
“One, kill Xiang Yu and be rewarded with the Overlord Halberd, Wu Zhui Horse, and Overlord’s Power!”
“Two, spare Xiang Yu and expel him, rewarding the expansion of Chinese civilisation!”
