The lake water leaked down like a bound dragon!

The rumbling sound of water echoed in the valley, making people feel breathless and suffocating.

The trees as big as bowls were uprooted and then they were swept into the rapids, becoming generals in the charge trap; the large rocks on the cliff merged into it with mud and sand, rolling and jumping, and extremely domineering all the way, smashing all the opponents blocking the road.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuan, the culprit, couldn't help but be stunned. The destructive power of nature is so powerful that just an artificial mudslide makes people feel that life is insignificant.

Looking from a distance, the Chu army generals in the valley were stunned for a while and finally realized that in the face of the huge threat of losing their lives, the Chu army had completely disbanded.

The at a loss-willed soldiers ran in panic, and had the experience to climb to the high hillsides on both sides, hoping to quickly occupy a place where they could stand. The soldiers who didn't know what to do followed the large army toward the valley entrance, hoping that their feet could run faster and could escape successfully before their companions.

The torrent is surging.

Looking down from the top of the mountain where Li Yuan was standing, you can only see that the Chu soldiers like ants below are like small red dots, moving little by little in the narrow valley. Behind them is a white giant python, which is quickly devouring the red dots one after another.

"Xiang Zhuang is finished!" Li Yuan let out a long sigh. Although the process was a little twists and turns, fortunately there was no deviation. Han Xin's young army also felt the tense atmosphere on the battlefield for the first time. I believe that after experiencing the experience, these young people will become stronger and stronger.

"Jiang Yu, order all troops to pursue the remaining enemies and target Luoyang!" Li Yuan shouted.

It is better to pursue the defeated enemy with the remaining courage.

Don't seek fame and learn to be overlords.

Li Yuan remembers this poem by Taizu in later generations clearly. Although Xiang Yu's lesson has not happened yet, the arrogant personality of the Western Chu king returning home in a brocade style seems to be difficult to change.

Li Yuan led his personal entourage to the bottom of the valley from the top of the mountain. Han Xin and Jiang Yu had already taken the general order and led their troops to chase and kill the disabled. The soldiers responsible for clearing the road and guarding the prisoners in the valley were transporting the bodies. After the flood, the bodies of the Chu soldiers who were unable to escape were lying on the valley road, and their expressions remained in the state of panic when they saw the flood flow down.

Xiao Gongjiao is dead.

He died with his eyes open.

He was desperately trying to climb up the side of the valley road. He was unable to become a survivor in the end. He had protected his safety with heavy armor, but now he has become a burden to take his life. Xiao Gongjiao, who has been working hard in the Chu army system for a long time, eventually did not escape the law of killing on the battlefield. As the first unit to enter the valley, the soldiers of the Xiao army became victims of this ambush.

Li Yuan did not find Xiang Zhuang's body at the bottom of the valley. There are two possibilities: one is that Xiang Zhuang was indeed dead. But the body has not been cleared out yet. After all, it will not take a moment to identify which corpses covered in mud and sand. Second, Xiang Zhuang escaped. Before the flood caught up with him, the major general of the Western Chu State used his kung fu a thousand miles a day and quickly fled the Hongnong Valley Road, which made him extremely frightened.

No matter what the result is, even if Xiang Zhuang is alive, he is probably still scared now. In this battle, the Qin army was prepared and the Chu army was flooded first, almost sweeping the forces of the princes in Henan. Henan was presented to the Qin army without any restraint, just like a woman who opened her white breasts to pick up the guests.

June 4th, noon.

The strong wind blew across the city tower, and a creaking sound broke the fire-red flag of the Chu army into two pieces.

"It's a bad omen!"

Shen Yang, who was looking forward to the triumphant victory of Xiang Zhuang on the city tower, felt anxious. Zhang Zhonggong was actually the enemy's secret, and his every move was under the eyes of the Qin people. If Xiang Zhuang's pursuit failed again, then no one else would say that, Shen Yang would be the first to escape the blame.

"King, look, is Major General Xiang back?" The soldiers lying on the city wall exclaimed. What was surprising was not that Xiang Zhuang went quickly, but that he was also back quickly, but that there were only more than twenty cavalry left by Xiang Zhuang.

"The Major General is back after victory. Come on, hurry up, hold a banquet to welcome the major general to the dust-!" Shen Yang called out anxiously. He was obese and could not move. He could not climb up in a steep place like the city tower. Therefore, he could not see Xiangzhuang's embarrassing appearance for a while, and thought Xiangzhuang had won a great victory again.

"Master, it seems not." The young master couldn't help but get anxious when he heard Shen Yang's shout. Xiang Zhuang was still a little far away from the city, and he couldn't see clearly from far away. If he made a mistake, he, a soldier, could not bear the responsibility.

"What is it? Get ready for the car quickly. I'm going to welcome the Major General." Shen Yang couldn't wait to shout loudly. Shen Yang, who was eager to express his loyalty to Xiangzhuang, had no patience to listen to what a pawn said. He wanted to prepare everything that rewarded Xiangzhuang and the Chu army as soon as possible until Xiangzhuang was satisfied.

——.

Finally, I saw Luoyang City Tower.

Xiang Zhuang had already run away with soreness. This time, he fell completely.

Nearly three thousand elite cavalry of the Chu army and more than five thousand princes and infantrymen, the only one who escaped with him was left, and the rest were either buried in the valley or captured by the Qin army.

Among the two deputy generals, Xiao Gongjiao must not be able to survive. When she escaped from the valley entrance, Xiang Zhuang turned her head and looked at her. Xiao Gongjiao was still a long distance from the valley entrance. Behind him, the water flow like white refining had suddenly rushed towards him. Another deputy general, Huan Chu, was injured in the previous night battle, and stayed in Luoyang to recover before he escaped.

completely annihilated.

Since Xiang Zhuang started his army with his cousin Xiang Yu, he has never encountered such a tragic battle. Compared with the huge casualties of the Chu army, the Qin army's losses are almost negligible. The only casualties are the entanglement between Gu Dao and Xiao Gong's corner of the corner of the army, and this is very likely just a means for the Qin army to train a young team.

"Major General, what's going on?" Shen Yang happily came out of the city with a group of servants, but he was approaching Xiang Zhuang's escaping in disgrace.

"Hurry, if you don't want to die, pack up and retreat!" Xiang Zhuang shouted, and without waiting for Shen Yang to answer, he rushed into the city and headed straight to the post station.

Station.

Not only is it a place to transmit military information, but there are also horses to transfer. The war horse under Xiang Zhuang's crotch was already foaming at the mouth, but the Qin army pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer. Luoyang's empty city must be guarded. Xiang Zhuang just wants to run as far as he can, as long as he can no longer look back and see the Qin army's flag.

Shen Yang looked at Xiang Zhuang's back blankly, and it took him a while to realize what it meant. He urgently ordered the servants to return to the city to pack up their things and escape. He was pitiful to the thousands of people he had finally saved, but he was completely defeated by Xiang Zhuang, a prodigal son. Thinking of this, Shen Yang couldn't help but feel like a knife.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

The Menghubian cavalry in pursuit appeared near Luoyang. Their arrival time was only a quarter of an hour slower than Xiangzhuang. After the long-distance raid, the strong horses in Hetao still maintained considerable foot strength.

June 5th.

The entire territory of Henan was occupied by the Qin army. Li Yuan once again climbed to the familiar city of Luoyang. Looking at the gurgling Luoshui not far away, and several smelting sites that could be vaguely recognized by the riverside, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved. This enclave, which was once part of the Sanchuan County of Qin, finally returned to the embrace of Qin after more than a year of changes in the city.

Hangu Pass.

It is the dividing ridge between Qin and the Kanto countries. It is very necessary for the Qin army, which is not strong enough at present.

Advance can attack, retreat can defend.

After having Henan, the Qin army took the initiative in the battlefield in the subsequent wars, mainly stationed a group of troops in Guguan east of Luoyang (i.e. Hulao Pass during the Three Kingdoms), and could block the likely invading Chu army from the east to the east and advance west. When the Qin army had the advantage in strength, it could also use Henan as a springboard, garrison military rations, attack Wei, Qi, and Yan and Zhao to the east, so as to achieve the strategic intention of unifying the Central Plains.

——.

Xiang Zhuang, who was arrogant and arrogant, was defeated and fled back to Dongjun. After the shock and resentment of Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu immediately removed all his military positions and exiled him to the Jiangdong area. At the same time, Xiang Yu's army accelerated the marching speed. The Chu army's vanguard crossed Daliang and appeared near Xingyang.

The Qin army appeared in Guanzhong again.

The black flags, carrying the Qin soldiers who were shouting for fighting with their heads, and a series of serious military disciplines that made people shudder again appeared on the land of Guandong.

It was not only Xiang Yu who felt the pressure from the Qin army was raised again, but the princes such as Liu Bang, Zhang Er, Chen Yu, and Wei Bao all sent envoys to inform each other.

"The King of Han was defeated repeatedly, and although the King of Han was defeated, he also understood who Li Yuan was. In this regard, no one among the princes could reach."

In this regard, Liu Bang, the King of Han who had fought with Li Yuan several times, became the target of various princes competing for visits. In a sense, in this long-distance race where who failed worse than whom, Liu Bang actually won the respect of all princes with his several defeats.

Who is Li Yuan?

In just one year, he was able to quickly become the focus of discussion among all the princes from all over the world. According to well-informed people, Li Yuan has never really suffered a defeat since he led the army. When Liu Bang occupied Xianyang City, it was because Li Yuan gave up voluntarily.
