117 Not giving in to each other

【Subscribe!】

Bainiwa, this is a very ordinary depression east of Dongtonghe River, but today it has become a flesh and blood mill.

This is where Huang Zhong and Xiang Yu personally led their troops to fight fiercely. Two or three miles northwards, the Qin army built a dike to intercept Dongtonghe River.

This is a low-lying area with mud everywhere. At this time, more than 30,000 soldiers from the Qin and Chu army were fighting bloodily in the mud.

"kill!"

The soldiers on both sides roared, sing in dialects they could not understand, desperately attacking their opponents, thinking about killing them.

They chased and rolled in the mud, fighting in a ball, and the front line lasted for miles.

These Qin infantrymen blocked the Chu army tightly, preventing them from moving further north.

These Chu soldiers, who were personally commanded by Xiang Yu, are definitely the most elite among the 300,000 coalition forces under Xiang Yu, but they are still unable to break through the defense line of this Chu infantry.

However, the Chu army infantry had a numerical advantage, and they were elite infantry under Xiang Yu's command, and they had extremely strong combat power.

Although the infantrymen of the Qin army had tried their best to fight without fear of death, the situation on the battlefield was still tilted towards the Chu army.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the Chu infantry defeats the Qin infantry.

On the west side of the already dry Dongtonghexi Riverbed, the terrain here is higher and flat, and it is no longer a muddy place.

Therefore, this area became a place where Xiang Yu led 6,000 cavalrymen and 10,000 flying feather light cavalrymen led by Huang Zhong fought.

The cavalry on both sides divided into several groups and chased and fought in Mercedes-Benz.

Although Xiang Yu had few cavalry, when fighting, it was the Chu cavalry chasing, and the Qin cavalry kept guerrilla wars.

As long as these Qin army flying feather light cavalry can distance themselves from the Chu army cavalry, they can continuously consume the Chu army cavalry with their superb cavalry techniques.

Xiang Yu's Chu cavalry could not do such cavalry. Only by catching up with the Qin light cavalry would they have the chance to kill the other party.

This is the first time Xiang Yu encountered this "kite flying" style of the Qin army's flying cavalry.

Xiang Yu felt that he could not use it. As he led the cavalry to continue to pursue the Qin cavalry, his cavalry was constantly being consumed.

Although, during the battle, there were several Feiyu Light Cavalry teams, which were chased and defeated by the cavalry team led by Xiang Yu.

However, most of the Qin army's light cavalry teams were safe, and Xiang Yu was still a few of them able to catch up with.

This made the Wan Feiyu Light Cavalry led by Huang Zhong firmly grasp the initiative in the cavalry battlefield. No matter how angry Xiang Yu was, he could not change this situation.

"Cowards are all cowards."

Xiang Yu rode on the Wuqi horse and roared angrily, looking at the Qin cavalry who kept keeping distance from them and constantly shooting arrows at them, Xiang Yu was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

"Overlord, you can't continue to fight like this. If this continues, our troops will be exhausted by them."

A Chu general rode a horse close to Xiang Yu and shouted to him.

"What should I do?"

Xiang Yu encountered this kind of cavalry tactic for the first time, and he really couldn't think of a good countermeasure for a while.

"Over King, I can't think of how to deal with the Qin army's cavalry fighting style.

However, overlord, we seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding.

Why do we fight with the Qin army cavalry? We want to dig up the dam upstream, and the route we want to take is the depression to the east.

As long as our infantry can defeat the Qin army in the depressions in the east and open up the north road, our army can pass.

Defeating or not defeating this Qin cavalry will not have much hindered our journey north!"

The Chu general said to Xiang Yu.

"yes!"

When Xiang Yu was told that he was under such command, he immediately woke up.

He also found that what he was doing now was indeed contrary to the main purpose of their trip.

This time they came here to dig the embankment and obtain water, not to fight the Qin army.

"Appoint to retreat, and do not fight against this Qin cavalry, a group of cowards."

Xiang Yu was not an ignorant person. After he woke up, he immediately issued a retreat order.

Soon, Xiang Yu led the remnants of the cavalry back to Bainiwa on the east side of Dongtonghe River, and no longer fought with Huang Zhong's light cavalry on the west side.

"Everyone dismounts, joins the battle, defeat this Qin infantry as soon as possible, and go north to dig a dam."

When Xiang Yu led the Chu cavalry with more than 4,000 people left, he immediately issued an order when he retreated to Bainiwa.

He directly let these Chu cavalry dismount and join the infantry battle in order to defeat these ten thousand Qin army infantry as soon as possible.

"No, Xiang Yu has reacted. We are in trouble with this.

The whole army obeyed the order and fought back to Bainiwa!"

On Huang Zhong's side, when he saw that Xiang Yu no longer pursued them, but led his troops to retreat to Bainiwa on the east side of the river, he knew that Xiang Yu had reacted.

So, without hesitation, Huang Zhong immediately ordered the remaining nine thousand flying feather light cavalry and followed it back to Bainiwa in the east.

"Dropping off all the horses and killing me, you must not let the Chu army pass here."

After Huang Zhong led the nine thousand Feiyu Light Cavalry back to Bainiwa on the east, he saw Xiang Yu asking the Chu cavalry soldiers to dismount and join the infantry battle, and he issued the same order without hesitation.

So nearly 50,000 troops from both sides rolled and fought in this muddy place, and the blood dyed the white mud here red.

The war in Bainiwa has now fallen into a stalemate.

Although the Chu army had the advantage, Huang Zhong led nearly 20,000 Qin soldiers to fight to the death. Xiang Yu could not do it for a while.

On the other hand, the battles at the Qin army camp were also particularly fierce.

The generals of Xiang Yu, Long Qi and others, joined forces with several other vassal armies, totaling more than 200,000 troops, to attack the three wooden villages of the Qin army in turn.

On the Qin army, there were 60,000 soldiers in the three Muzhais. Relying on the protection of Muzhai, they fought against the enemy.

The battle between the two sides lasted from the morning to the afternoon, and neither side showed any sign of stopping.

This time, Xiang Yu will not withdraw his troops easily.

Xiang Yu knew very well that the water stored in their large military camp would be used up tomorrow. If he could not dig the upstream embankment today, he would never withdraw his troops back to the camp.

On Xu Feng's side, he had previously ventured to mobilize 30,000 soldiers and 30,000 civilians overnight to build this embankment and divert the Dongtonghe River.

How could it be so easy for Xiang Yu to dig the embankment now!

If both sides are unwilling to retreat and make concessions, this battle will naturally continue until one side admits defeat and withdraws its troops, or the other side is completely defeated.

The shouts of killing outside were shocking the sky, but at this time Xu Feng and Guo Jia were sitting in the Qin army's main camp playing Go.

Xu Feng's Go skills are very poor, he is simply a bad chess game. Xu Feng has basically never won the game with Guo Jia.

Xu Feng is playing chess with Guo Jia now, just to let him have something to do, otherwise waiting will be a torment.

Now, they have arranged everything they should arrange. Whether they can win this battle depends on the performance of the Qin soldiers fighting on the front line.

The only thing Xu Feng can do now is to wait.

"How long will it take for Fengxiao to get dark?"

Xu Feng was absent-minded and casually made a chess piece, then looked up and asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia smiled bitterly, looked up at Xu Feng, and said, "My Majesty, you have asked the empress for the 18th time."

"Yes, have I asked so many times?"

Xu Feng smiled awkwardly and said indifferently: "Don't bother how many times I have asked, I just want to know how long it will be dark now."

"Your Majesty, it's almost an hour and a half before it gets dark."

Guo Jia shook his head and replied.

"It will take so long, why does time pass so slowly? Is there any news from Huang Zhong who has been sent back?"

"No."

"It's good if there is no news, it's good news."

Xu Feng said nervously, after all the past half day, Xu Feng felt like he was living like the New Year!

"Hey, Fengxiao, why did you slaughter my big dragon?"

When Xu Feng felt enlightened, he found that his black-spoken dragon had been eaten by Guo Jia on the chessboard, and he couldn't help but shout.

"Forget it, forget it, I lost this game, start over.

This time I am filial to you, you want to let my fifteenth son. Look, I have said that if you let my tenth son, I still can't beat you.

I will give you 15th son this time, but I won’t be able to give you 20 sons next time. I don’t believe that I can’t win you.”

Xu Feng reached out and swept away all the pieces on the chessboard and said.

Guo Jia, who was opposite, was speechless when he heard Xu Feng's words, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, let's not talk about your chess skills for now, just talk about your current mentality.
