Text Chapter 227 Night attack in the mountains and forests, Xiang Liang¡¯s death place

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is said that when the coalition forces of Liu Bang and Yingbo were being besieged and trapped in a city by the Qin army, in Dang County, thousands of miles away, Xiang Liang, a veteran of Chu State, had a smooth journey.

    "General, it seems that Qin Jia'er doesn't dare to fight us head-on. If he continues at this rate, he will be unable to retreat in half a month at most, and will eventually have no choice but to retreat to Suiyang County."

    "Yeah, I didn't expect Qin Jia to be so timid. Although his troops are not as strong as ours, he has at least nearly 30,000 troops, but he never dared to fight our army head-on. For many days since the war started, he has retreated again and again.  retreat."

    "What do you know? Qin Jia's son obviously knows that our general this time is General Xiang. He is intimidated by the old general's reputation and knows that he is defeated, so he retreats like this!"

    The terrain of Dang County is mostly mountains, rivers and jungles, with few flat areas.

    However, this time before the Chu army sent out troops, it seemed that they had planned it for a long time. Most of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that came out were infantry.  In addition to thousands of cavalry as reserve forces, only some high-level generals have war horses to ride on.

    At this time, tens of thousands of Chu troops were crossing the mountains and ridges with great momentum.  As for Xiang Liang, who was riding on a tall horse and listening to the discussions of several Chu army generals around him, he had no intention of speaking. Instead, he had a frown on his face, as if he was not in as good a mood as the people around him.

    The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and it looks like it¡¯s going to rain.

    "In the land of mountains and forests, the weather is unpredictable. Send the order and find an open and flat place ahead, then set up camp and continue on the road tomorrow."

    "Old General, it's still early today. Why are you so eager to stop?"

    "Yes, according to the map provided by Liu Bang, as long as we continue forward for less than 100 miles, we will be able to leave this mountain forest, and the terrain will be much flatter by then."

    Several generals did not quite understand Xiang Liang's decision, but of course, they did not dare to question or object.  Although Xiang Liang is old.  But in Chu**, he is definitely the number one person without a doubt!

    Even his niece Xiang Yu, who came from behind, is famous but has little influence in Chu.  Still not as good as the fifty-year-old general in front of him.

    "The mountain and forest area is not comparable to our Jiangdong area. The soldiers have been traveling for several days and their physical strength is already insufficient."

    In fact, Xiang Liang has no choice.  Why doesn't he want to settle the matter here quickly and then rush to the other side to help?

    "However, it has been five days since we entered Dang County. Except for some weak resistance from Qin Jia's troops in Dang County on the second day, the next three days were basically smooth sailing, so smooth that even Xiang Liang was a little stunned.

    "It went so smoothly"

    "Old General, what did you say?"

    The other generals on the side did not hear clearly, but Xiang Liang shook his head.

    Soon, the troops in front found a relatively flat and open place.  It's a pity that the tens of thousands of people on Xiang Liang's side seem a bit crowded, for this reason.  There are about 10,000 people, and they can only be scattered in the surrounding forests.

    After tens of thousands of people settled down, it finally began to rain lightly.

    The rain was not heavy, but I don¡¯t know if it was due to the mountainous forest area, so the surrounding visibility was quite low.

    "Let people pay attention to their surroundings. Beware of enemy sneak attacks!"

    Out of caution, Xiang Liang gave some instructions.  Of course, almost all generals, including himself, did not believe that they would be attacked by surprise.

    Qin Jia didn't have the guts to fight the Chu army head-on. He didn't know which side he would retreat to.

    "The old general is really too cautious. How could Qin Jia have the guts to come for a sneak attack? I don't know where to escape now."

    "That's right. I haven't encountered any troops from Dang County in the past few days. I think this area must have been deserted."

    Some of the soldiers who were responsible for the vigilance actually complained a little. After all, in this mountainous and forested area where the climate was unsuitable, coupled with the drizzle, it made people feel a little depressed.

    Although they entered Dang County at the beginning, Qin Jia's soldiers and horses collapsed at the first touch, which made the Chu army full of momentum and morale.

    But in the past few days, the continuous journey through the mountains and forests had already exhausted a group of Chu troops physically and mentally, so it is no wonder that some people complained.

    After nightfall, the rain showed no signs of weakening at all, and even got heavier.

    ¡°This damn weather!¡±

    Looking at the heavy rain outside, it could have been lowered to the ground at night, but now it is even less than two or three meters.

    And because of the heavy rain, it was impossible to even light a fire, and the entire camp was plunged into darkness.

    Of course, the unlucky ones are the ordinary soldiers below, the same kind among the Chu army.For generals like Xiang Liang, there are still people who carry tents and other items for rest.

    In the dead of night, most of the Chu army fell asleep.  The remaining people who were responsible for the vigil were all leaning together, their heads lighting up, obviously lacking in energy.

    I don¡¯t know when, the clouds in the sky have drifted away, the rain has stopped, revealing the bright moonlight shining directly down.

    "kill!"

    Suddenly, the shouts of killing soaring into the sky woke up the entire Chu army camp.

    "What's going on? What happened?"

    Countless Chu soldiers were still sleeping, and were suddenly awakened by the bursts of shouts of killing.  But before their minds can change, many people feel severe pain in their necks or chests, and then don't know anything else.

    Only at the last moment when I closed my eyes, I saw countless people in black, holding bright weapons, charging into the entire camp.

    "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Someone is attacking at night!"

    No one would have thought that such a change would happen. The Chu army was obviously ill-prepared for being attacked at night.  Many soldiers of the Chu army took off their armor and threw them aside, and they didn't know where their weapons were.

    And the group of men in black who rushed into the position, although none of them were wearing armor, were well prepared.  The weapons in his hands decisively killed each and every Chu army soldier.

    "The handsome tent is over there! Kill! Capture Xiang Liang!"

    "Kill! Capture Xiang Liang! Bounty of 10,000! Promotion to the third level!"

    The number of the men in black who suddenly came out was about three thousand, although it was nothing compared to the tens of thousands of Chu troops.  But the victory was that it was unexpected, and it appeared at the time when the Chu army was most exhausted and relaxed into sleep.

    In less than half an hour, at least a thousand people died in their hands, and this group of people obviously came with a purpose. They didn't care about the Chu troops around them and went straight to the commander's tent!

    This group of people are all brave and good at fighting, and the surrounding Chu troops cannot stop them at all.  Just before they saw it, they fought their way out and arrived near the commander's tent.

    "Protect the general!"

    But it¡¯s too late!

    "Xiang Liang! Die!"

    The first man in black was the most powerful. With two huge hammers in his hands, he instantly smashed through the obstruction of two Chu army lieutenants, and then kicked away another strong man who was attacking with his sword.  .  .  )
