Chapter 623

The resistance of the Qin army made Xiang Yu feel deeply trapped in the mud altar. Although he was facing only the elite soldiers of the Qin army, which was far different from his former Qin generals, his fierce and fearless manner made him helpless.

Yes, this kind of feeling is helpless. One after another, it seems that they are not going to die but to a banquet. He can't remember how many Qin soldiers he killed, but there is always a feeling that he can't kill them all. Although he wanted to leave several times, the soldiers always killed them, so Xiang Yu had to fall into the tangled battle with them again.

All of a sudden, Xiang Yufa felt a shower of arrows flying over his head. Then he heard the cries and groans of the arrows coming from the soldiers behind him. Moreover, the roar of the arrow rain seemed to be continuous and never meant to end.

After another forced retreat to kill several of his soldiers, Xiang Yu took time to look back. He saw that hundreds of soldiers had fallen between 20 and 30 steps behind him, and he was still shooting. All of a sudden, Xiang Yu woke up with a start, and there were crossbow soldiers in the Qin army. Damn it, and the number was very large, otherwise it would not have been so fierce.

Just at this time, Pu Jun killed Xiang Yu and said in a loud voice, "general, Qin Gou's Crossbow reinforcements have arrived. Shall we retreat temporarily? Otherwise, our army will suffer heavy casualties!"

Just as Xiang Yu hesitated, yingbu rushed over and said, "general, withdraw first. There are too many crossbow soldiers in Qingou. It's only a few minutes, and the army has lost nearly a thousand people."

At this time, Xiang Yu was not the arrogant overlord of Western Chu, and he accepted the persuasion of his two generals very quickly. Biting his teeth, he said in a loud voice: "order, retreat, withdraw from the 200 step range, and then make plans!"

With Xiang Yu's consent, yingbu and Pu Jun are greatly relieved. Today's Qin army is so evil that they suddenly don't know where to run out so many crossbow soldiers. Then, the sound of Mingjin rang out in the Chu army. Within a moment, the Chu army outside the Sujiao camp retreated completely. However, the soldiers of Qin did not pursue any more, but slowly retreated to the camp.

Watching the Qin army slowly retreat into the camp, Xiang Yu knows that his idea of encircling and annihilating the Qin army under Julu city has failed. Although he is unwilling, he has nothing to do. God knows why a large number of crossbow soldiers have come to support the Qin army. Otherwise, the 200000 Qin army will escape from him.

Sure enough, the Qin army who returned to the camp did not idle down. Instead, they constantly strengthened the defense in the camp, and then kept piling up something behind the camp gate.

Xiang Yu, who was unwilling, sent people to attack him several times. However, as soon as he reached a hundred paces away from the camp, the crossbows and arrows in the camp were like pouring rain. Every time, the Chu army left dozens of soldiers behind and had no choice but to retreat.

But if we bypass the camp, we need to go further. So several times, the two sides were deadlocked here.

As a matter of fact, there are only 1000 yuan army crossbow soldiers and the remaining 700 soldiers in the present Sujiao camp. The rest of the Qin army has retreated one after another.

However, before they left, they had reinforced the internal defense of the camp again. Moreover, not far behind the camp wall, a large number of inflammables such as grain, grass, wood and so on were placed. Moreover, they left enough war horses for them to use dozens of steps behind these soldiers.

Only after the soldiers left long enough, the crossbow soldiers and the soldiers of the trapped camp could light the camp and then retreat on horseback. In this way, the Chu army could not catch up with them.

At the beginning of Maoshi, which is about five o'clock in the morning in real time, the sky is already a little bit bright, and it has been more than half an hour since Wang Li's army left. After Zhao Cen and Gao Shun look at each other, they give a deep salute to the seriously wounded soldiers of Qin army who voluntarily left behind, and then they run away with more than 1000 soldiers under their command, He chased in the direction of the retreat of the army.

The movement of the Qin army camp shocked the Chu army outside the camp. After hearing this, Xiang Yu knew that the Qin army had retreated. However, with the idea of having a try, he sent 1000 Chu soldiers to attack the camp.

Sure enough, they stormed into the camp smoothly, but before long, there was a fire everywhere in the camp. Soon they saw that the soldiers of Chu retreated in confusion, and a thousand people went in. Less than 400 people retreated, and the others were trapped in the camp by the fire.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu was furious, but he had nothing to do. Finally, he had to go back to his camp and discuss with fan Zeng about the next step.

When Gao Shun and Zhao Cen led the way to catch up with Huangfu Chaobo, it was already bright. By this time, the army had already stood out from the encirclement of the princes, and it was only 20 li away from Xindu.

Outstanding encirclement of the Great Wall corps soldiers, high morale, all the way down, finally arrived in the capital before noon. All the soldiers who came back to the city were relieved. They were able to have a good meal and have a good sleep.

After entering the capital of Xin, Wang Li ordered the army to rest. At the same time, he quickly ordered the city to be under martial law. He ordered the scouts to closely monitor the movements of the princes' army. If they found any changes, they would report them immediately. At the same time, it counted the war losses, counted the number of soldiers that could be fought, and reorganized the soldiers that could be fought. The call was busy until the evening.After that, Wang Li called the generals in the county yamen of Xindu city to discuss the affairs, and Huangfu Chaobo also called them.

After everyone arrived, Wang Li informed everyone about the damage of the army in the battle of Julu. During the successive days' War, 200000 troops of the Great Wall army were damaged in half, and 80000 were killed and injured. Most of them were damaged after Xiang Yu's Chu army took part in the war. After hearing Wang Li's announcement, all the generals on the scene were prepared, but they were all startled.

After the public's discussion subsided a little, Wang Li continued to talk about other things. Of course, Wang Li and other generals are very grateful for Huangfu Chaobo's full rescue.

Then, Wang Li told everyone about the situation of the surrounding princes and Zhang Han army. Then Wang Li ordered the generals to do their own things.

After the Qin generals got up to salute, they turned and left. Huangfu Chaobo also got up to leave with the generals. However, he wanted to discuss with Pang Tong. He had rescued Wang Li and the Great Wall army, but when could his task be completed? It's rare to find Wang Liyao himself, or to wait for the Great Wall army and Xiang Yu to fight again. What else?
