"Kill!"
The roaring soldiers of the Qin army and the rebel soldiers rushed together, blood spattered, and some soldiers died in the battle and fell.
"kill!"
Zhao Yun rode directly into the rebel group, swept across with his spear, and killed each rebel soldier.
Zhao Yun wanted to continue chasing Zhong Limei, but unfortunately, because of the obstruction of these rebel soldiers, his horse slowed down and he could no longer catch up with Zhong Limei, who had fled far away.
"General, are you okay?"
Soon, Zhong Limei was also joined by his generals.
"It's okay, command the soldiers and kill them for me!"
Zhong Limei's hair was disheveled and he looked very embarrassed. He was even more angry inside and roared at his generals.
"No, General."
Poof!
Zhao Yun, one man and one horse, fought in and out of the enemy group. Many Qin soldiers around him also fought hard against the rebels. The battle was fierce.
Zhong Limei, who fled to the back, calmed down and looked at Zhao Yun, who was invincible on the battlefield and was wearing silver armor, his eyes full of fear.
At this time, Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng, Long Qie and others who were watching the battle from behind looked at Zhong Limei escaping in embarrassment after being killed by Zhao Yun. They shouted for help and burst into laughter.
"General, Yafu, and Zhong Limei acted so realistically in order to fulfill Yafu's instructions that they even lost face."
After Ji Bu saw Zhong Limei's embarrassed look, he smiled and said to Xiang Yu next to him.
"very good."
Yafu also laughed.
Xiang Yu even nodded with a smile on his face: "Well, Zhong Limei did a good job this time."
Xiang Yu also praised Zhong Limei, because he knew that Zhong Limei was a face-saving person, and it was not easy for him to work so hard and lose so embarrassingly.
At this time, Xiang Yu and others thought that Zhong Limei was acting.
Because, before Zhong Limei went to the battle, Fan Zeng had already told him that he would lose this battle, and he would lose if he challenged the Qin generals. In short, this battle would be a defeat, a defeat, a defeat.
Zhong Limei himself was superb in martial arts. Among Xiang Yu's troops, the only ones who could defeat Zhong Limei were Xiang Yu and Long Qie. Ji Bu and other generals were no match for him either.
It was precisely because of his understanding of Zhong Limei's martial arts that Xiang Yu believed that as long as the Qin army did not send Lu Bu, no one would be Zhong Limei's opponent.
At this time, Xiang Yu did not believe that the Qin army could have another general with Lu Bu's strength.
If Zhong Limei were here at this moment and heard the conversation between Xiang Yu and others, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood on the spot, and then shout: "I'm not acting, I really can't beat him!"
On the battlefield, 10,000 Qin troops and 20,000 rebel soldiers were still fighting together.
On the side of the Qin Army, the 10,000 infantrymen of the Guards Corps brought out by Zhao Yun were formerly known as the Weiwei Army. They were the elite of the Qin Army and had strong combat power.
In addition, during this period, the number of Qin soldiers increased. At this time, these Qin soldiers once again reproduced the domineering power of the former First Emperor, fearless of all enemies.
On the rebel side, for the sake of showmanship, the 20,000 infantry soldiers brought out by Zhong Limei this time were all old and weak in Xiang Yu's army and were weak in combat power.
At the same time, Xiang Yu has been unable to conquer Hangu Pass recently, and the rebel soldiers were already in a slump. Zhong Limei was defeated by Zhao Yun just now, which once again dealt a blow to the morale of the rebel army.
Therefore, even though the Qin army had 10,000 fewer soldiers than the rebels, when the two armies fought together, the powerful Qin army basically suppressed the 20,000 rebels.
In particular, the Qin army was equipped with iron weapons, which made it even more powerful. A mere 20,000 rebels could not stop the 10,000 Qin army.
Only half an hour after the battle began, thousands of rebel soldiers on the left wing of the battlefield were the first to fail to hold on. They were killed by the Qin army to the point of fear, their will collapsed, and they were the first to be defeated.
"Damn it, who asked them to retreat? The battle has only been going on for a while.
My general's order to retreat has not been given yet! Who allowed them to be defeated?"
Zhong Limei stayed behind, looking at the left wing of the battlefield in front of his men who were beginning to collapse, and roared with great dissatisfaction.
Zhong Limei thought it was his generals who failed to obey his orders and were defeated without authorization.
This is actually Zhongli's injustice to his generals. It's not that his generals disobeyed his orders and waited for his orders before pretending to be defeated.
Rather, these rebel soldiers on the front line faced the wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers of the Qin army. They persisted for just a short time and then they were really defeated.
The speed of the defeat even exceeded Zhong Limei's expectation.
Zhong Limei originally planned to order his generals to pretend to be defeated, lead the army to a rout, and complete Fan Zeng's orders an hour after the battle started.
After all, even if they are acting, they have to act realistically, so that Xu Feng and the others cannot see any flaws and see through their schemes.
Twenty thousand rebels faced ten thousand Qin troops. They fought for an hour on the battlefield before being defeated. For the Qin army, it was considered a great victory.
But now, something suddenly happened on the battlefield, completely breaking Zhong Limei's plan.
"Kill!"
On the battlefield on the left wing, a Qin soldier chased and killed the defeated rebels without mercy.
From the eyes of these Qin soldiers, we can see excitement, strong fighting spirit, and fearless courage.
Poof!
The rebels, whose will collapsed, turned around and defeated one after another, and the fake show came true.
At this time, they were not acting, they were really defeated, and even reduced to a one-sided pursuit. Those rebels no longer even thought about resisting.
It is true that these Qin soldiers are too fierce.
In the eyes of these rebels, these Qin soldiers were completely different from the Qin soldiers they encountered before.
Just a short time after the war started, countless of their companions fell under the blades of the Qin army, until they became frightened, their will collapsed, and they no longer wanted to fight.
These Qin soldiers are very crazy when fighting, they are not afraid of death, and each of them has extraordinary skills. No rebel army can defeat these Qin soldiers one on one.
What made these rebels even more speechless was that the bronze weapons they were holding were cut off after several collisions with the weapons of the Qin soldiers.
On the battlefield, even the weapon in his hand was cut off, how could he still fight this battle?
With the rapid defeat of the left-wing rebels, the whole body was affected, and soon the rebels were defeated across the board.
The 20,000 rebel soldiers were defeated by the 10,000 Qin army in half an hour, and they were defeated across the board.
"Damn it, every one of them disobeys my general's orders. I'm really rebelling against you."
At this time, looking at the troops defeated across the board, Zhong Limei became even more angry.
Zhong Limei felt that this day was really bad, so he showed weakness to the enemy and pretended to be defeated. They had used this strategy before.
So, Zhong Limei has done this kind of thing before, it was very easy!
But this time, things that should have been very easy and simple turned out to be unexpected one after another.
First, he was defeated miserably by Zhao Yun. He looked miserable and was seen by so many subordinates, which seriously damaged his face.
This made Zhong Limei feel angry. He still cared about his own face and dignity.
But now, his men did not obey his orders and were defeated in advance, which made Zhong Limei, who was already angry, even more depressed and almost vomited blood.
"Forget it, let's leave it like this. We will be defeated anyway. When you come back, I will settle the score with you, general."
The situation on the battlefield is now like this, and Zhong Limei can't change anything, but he has decided in his heart to settle the score with his generals.
At this time, Xiang Yu and others who were standing on the carriage behind to watch the battle looked puzzled as they looked at the defeated family members and horses on the battlefield.
"What's going on with Zhong Limei? Why did the general retreat so quickly?
The Qin army was defeated so early, so Zhong Limei could not hold back his anger."
