C170

Xiang Liang summoned his forty thousand men to temporarily form a phalanx, preparing to meet the enemy. As the horse hooves drew closer, the Chu Bing's heart was at a loss.

Sima Xin commanded thirty thousand light cavalry soldiers to move as fast as wind, with the momentum of fierce tigers, they instantly charged straight towards the front lines of the Chu Army, rushing forward like a surging tide.

Xiang Liang gave the order to release arrows, and with a burst of arrows, they blotted out the sky and earth as they shot into the battle formation. Putong, hundreds of the Qin Soldier s were hit by the arrows and fell off their horses, causing their warhorses to stumble and fall, rolling into a ball. The rest of the cavalrymen at the back leapt up, some tripping over, and most of them stepping on the fallen soldiers and horses, continued to charge forward as if they were on flat ground.

After three rounds of rain of arrows, thousands of Qin Soldier soldiers were killed. However, the light cavalry troops moved like the wind, and before the Chu Army archers could shoot a fourth round of arrows, they had already rushed forward like a flood.

When Xiang Liang saw this, he immediately retaliated, sending orders to his officials to spread out the news, the battle drums beating the sky and shaking the ground, the Armour s clanging the earth, quickly rushing to meet the enemy, soldiers against soldiers, generals against soldiers, longs against pikes, the battle cries and battle cries immediately soared to the skies, blade slashing, deaths and injuries appearing, blood and flesh splattering, a battle of life and death began.

The Qin Army had the advantage of standing on her warhorse, and with a gust of wind, she rushed towards the enemy with a flurry of thrusts and stomps, her lethality far surpassing that of the infantry. Amongst the forty thousand troops that had come to attack the Chu Army, there were only nearly ten thousand cavalrymen, twenty thousand infantry, five thousand heavy armor, and five thousand archers.

"Kill …" Many of the cavalrymen were surrounded by a group of heavily armored infantry, using their spears to stab at the hedgehogs, but most of the Chu Bing s were splashed by the hooves of their horses during the charge, and their blood flowed like a river.

The Black Armored Qin Wei and the Red Armored Chu Bing were in chaos as they fought desperately. Their eyes were bloodshot as if they were possessed by demons as they cursed and slaughtered each other. The Chu Army was forced to retreat by the Qin Cavalry.

Xiang Zhuang's swordsmanship was high, she had beheaded over twenty Qin Soldier s and three of them were leading their subordinates to fight back if they could not stop him.

Xiang Liang and Sima Xin started to fight on horseback. One of them wielded a long spear while the other brandished a long axe, unlike the fighting sword technique on the ground, the movements were simple and practical, crafty and ruthless, the battle horses roared incessantly, their lower bodies moved back and forth, and with a wave of their hands, they slashed through the sky, the axe whistled, and the clanging sound did not stop there.

When the Qin Soldier on top of the Tuan Guan city gates saw that reinforcements were rushing over, they immediately boiled with excitement, the city guards shouted for the battle to begin, and the city gates opened up. Zhou Yin and Huan Chu led twenty thousand troops to stop them, and the front and back lines started to fight intensely.

Some of the soldiers had predicted that the entire mountain slope would be blocked by the Qin Army, causing their faces to turn pale from fright, their military morale had gradually become disordered, and they had gained the upper hand one after the other. The Qin Army had completely surrounded the Chu Army and attacked from all sides, and the victory or defeat could already be determined in this instant.

From afar, they could see the dust and the flags that covered the ground. The Qin Wei was covered with a dense black armor, and with one hundred and fifty thousand troops under Zhang Han's command, they chased after them with their tails in an attempt to cut off this lone army that was deeper in.

At this moment, some of them cried out in pain and forgot to fight. Some of them were stabbed to death by the Qin Army, while some of them chopped to death ruthlessly, trying their best to get back what they had gained by dying.

Xiang Liang's expression changed greatly as he shouted to the side: "Xiang Bo, Xiang Zhuang, quickly bring five thousand men out of the encirclement and report to Xiang Yu about this urgent matter."

Xiang Zhuang became anxious and shouted: "General, I will stay and fight alongside you."

Xiang Liang said angrily: "No, quickly lead the troops and attack, otherwise it will be too late."

Sima Xin roared: "I can't escape anymore, Xiang Liang is just a man, eat my axe!"

Xiang Liang swept his arm across and fiercely clashed with Sima Xin. The latter clashed head-on with the axe and with his formidable strength, Xiang Liang blocked with the axe, causing both of their arms to tremble, following that he clashed against Sima Xin's ribs.

Sima Xin swung the axe, cutting away the tip of the long spear, and at the same time releasing the force, he swung it backwards. The axe drew a half circle in the air, cut horizontally, and created wind.

Seeing that the axe was coming at him quickly, Xiang Liang bent at the back of the horse to dodge the attack, he sat straight up and slashed downwards, Sima Xin immediately used his both hands to grab onto the axe, and struck the axe, with a peng sound, he did not bounce back and separate, but glued himself to the spear instead.

Xiang Bo shouted: "Let's lead our troops and cut a bloody path so that we can report to Xiang Yu. We can let him prepare herself for the counterattack, if not, who would be the one to take revenge?"

Xiang Zhuang clenched her teeth and nodded, she took out a sword and threw it far away. After piercing through the air, she slashed at Sima Xin's arm, and then, she dismounted and called for thousands of people to follow him as she rushed towards the Qin Army.

Sima Xin's arm was lacerated, he lost the battle miserably, and the two assistant generals beside him immediately dismounted and pounced on Xiang Liang, striking at him. The other vanguard general and the other vanguard generals who had the assistance of the Chu Army also competed in life and death battles, causing the Chu Bing to suffer heavy casualties, being forced to retreat from the attacks of the Qin Army.

Zhang Han held onto a large ring blade, leading a few tens of assistant generals beside him, as well as a hundred and fifty thousand light armored soldiers to surround and block them, causing a black mass of Qin Army soldiers to instantly charge forward, lances, sabers, spears, halberds in batches, rows upon rows, no matter how strong one was, he would not be able to defend against the tide of attacks from a large army of thousands of soldiers.

Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Bo led their six thousand and seven hundred thousand disciples of Jiangdong to rush towards the right wing of Qin Army. Facing such a strong obstacle, even though they had the guts to cut through, it was also a sign of courage and ability, but Xiang Zhuang did it, the thousand of people that had killed their way into the right wing of Qin Army, after pushing it, there were only around three to four hundred people gathered together, rushing towards the Wuguan.

Xiang Zhuang cried as she gnashed her teeth in hatred. Turning her head in pain, she urged her horse to gallop across the rugged mountains, soaring high up into the mountains. The roads turned, and it was not good for him to escape, but it was also not good for him to chase.

… ….

Under the silent night sky, a bright moon slowly ascended into the sky. Thirty thousand elite Dragon Cavalry soldiers were stationed two miles away from Luoyang City.

"General, a letter has arrived …" A general in charge of scouting the area reported from outside the tent.

The generals in the tent were shocked, Guan Ying shouted: "Quick, transfer them over."

After entering the account, he handed the Eagle Eagle Uploaded Letter to Guan Ying, who finished reading it, with furrowed brows, he passed it on to Pure Yu Wan'er, and said respectfully: "Please have a look, Young Madam." Although he was the leader, he had to listen to the commands of his talented daughter.

Pure Yu Wan'er nodded her head, her expression still as cold and pure. She frowned slightly, and thought to herself: "Long Lang has never been in such a hurry, what is going on up ahead, why must we rush to rope pool within three days, it is indeed very difficult."

Zhang Liang looked at her and said: "Wan'er, does the General want us to send our troops over immediately?"

Chunyu Wan'er nodded and asked, "How did you guess that?"

In terms of seniority, she was indeed Zhang Liang's junior sister, but in terms of Zhang Qian and sister, she was a generation lower than him, so she had always come from a different generation and still called him senior brother. Zhang Liang had gotten used to it.

Zhang Liang stroked his beard and slowly said: "This is not hard to guess. Zhang Han gathering two hundred thousand of the Qin Army's elites to attack the Hangu Pass, which is enough to break through the barrier and rush to Xianyang, yet he changed paths midway to take Wuguan Lan Tian's remote path. He must have been scared off by Tian Yu using some clever scheme;
