My father, King Chu, was besieged at Gaixia

Chapter 150: Deceiving
Looking at the three Han reinforcements approaching quickly, there is no doubt that once they are put into the battlefield, not only will the Chu army's upper hand be suppressed, but it will also be defeated and collapsed in one fell swoop. Xiang Zhuang and Zhongli Mei cast anxious eyes on the tall figure at the same time.

——Since the Overlord was surrounded at Gaixia until now, this tall and straight figure has led them to repeatedly create miracles, gradually reverse the downward trend, and step by step walk out of the inevitable death situation. Now, can this figure create a miracle again?

"Now is finally the time for our Great Chu to avenge its past humiliation. You two, hurry up and step forward!" Xiang Chang suddenly turned his head and exhaled. His tone was not only free of panic and fear, but rather - excited?
Seeing Xiang Chang's eyes blazing, as sharp and powerful as a peerless divine weapon, Xiang Zhuang and Zhong Li Mei were both frightened, their chests pounding, their blood boiling, they bowed and growled: "I will obey your orders! General, please rest assured, we will fight with all our might and even die!"

"Very good! Next, Zhongli Mei, you will be in charge of military strategy on my behalf. I will leave you 3,000 Chu cavalry. If the 12,000 mobile cavalry of the Han army goes into the battlefield, you will lead these 3,000 Chu cavalry to defeat them. I will lead the remaining 7,000 Chu cavalry myself to test the quality of King Jiujiang and Gu Feng. As for Commander Xiang Zhuang, you will lead 10,000 infantry to fight against the 30,000 Han troops led by Lu Shizhi and Yong Chi." Xiang Chang spoke crisply and sharply as he assigned the last 20,000 mobile Chu troops.

Zhongli Mei bowed to receive the order, and could not help but ask anxiously: "Who will go to retreat the 40,000 Peng Yue cavalry coming from the northwest?"

"Someone will take care of it!" Xiang Chang sneered, leaving the confused Zhongli Mei behind, stepped down from the observation platform, climbed onto the big black horse, reached out to take the halberd thrown by Meng Xia, and with a whistle, led the 7,000 Chu cavalry to break away from the front line and head towards Ying Bu's 30,000 Jiujiang troops.

Ying Bu had a proud and complacent look on his face. He was no longer the King of Jiujiang, but the King of Chu!

In order to persuade him to rebel again, Liu Bang spent a lot of money and directly promised that not only the original Jiujiang fiefdom, but also the old Chu lands including Hengshan and Linjiang would all be assigned to him, making him the well-deserved lord of the Great Chu!

To show his sincerity, Liu Bang even directly sent the full set of ceremonial items including the enthronement edict, seal, arrows, swords, flags, etc.

This is not a blank check, but a real enthronement, which means that Ying Bu is now the real King of Chu, so he can't help but be tempted.

Seeing Xiang Chang actually coming out in person and leading only 7,000 Chu cavalry to intercept him, Ying Bu instinctively felt very amused. If it was the Overlord himself, he might have to treat him with caution, but as for Xiang Chang, he didn't take him seriously.

"You really think of yourself as your father." Ying Bu was undoubtedly disdainful of Xiang Chang's arrogance.

Just when a stern look appeared on his face and he was about to lead 30,000 cavalry to charge forward and fight Xiang Chang's 7,000 Chu cavalry, Xiang Chang's 7,000 Chu cavalry suddenly slowed down and stopped when they were still two shots away. Then Xiang Chang was seen riding out alone and came to the center of the two armies' array.

"Ying Bu, come here and talk to me!" Xiang Chang's voice was like thunder, rolling towards him.

"King of Chu, what else is there to say to this kid now? The King of Han urgently needs your help. You should send troops quickly and attack without delay!" Gu Feng urged his horse to come over and said hastily.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Ying Bu stroked the thick mane of his mount and glanced at him arrogantly. He recalled the past when Xiang Chang had repeatedly humiliated him. The black words on his cheek trembled: "What's the harm in meeting him? The winner has the right to taste the sweetness of victory! A victory without the loser's rage but powerlessness, resentment and helplessness, is a victory of the night march in brocade clothes! It is an incomplete victory!"

Gu Feng looked disapproving and wanted to persuade him again, but Ying Bu had already left him and rode his horse to meet Xiang Chang.

Gu Feng shouted angrily, then turned around and whispered to Feng Wuze, Guo Ning, Guo Meng and other generals, "Be prepared. If Ying Bu is persuaded by Xiang Chang and shows any signs of wavering in his attitude, we should immediately ignore everything and lead our troops to charge."

Feng Wuzhe, Guo Ning and Guo Meng were also quite annoyed and nodded immediately.

It has to be said that the Han camp was also afraid of Ying Bu's fickleness and was secretly on guard against him.

Ying Bu was well aware of Xiang Chang's personal bravery and knew that he was no match for him. Although he was very afraid of his repeating crossbow, he was not afraid at all because he was alone and was fully armored.

Ying Bu rushed to Xiang Chang and said in a teasing tone, "Xiang Chang, you never thought that you and I would meet in this situation, did you? What are you going to say to me? Are you going to beg for mercy?"

"You really treat rebellion as a daily routine, and you are proud of it instead of being ashamed of it." Xiang Chang looked impatient. Not only did he not beg him, he didn't even scold him. He said directly in a rough tone and tough words, "What do you want! Men of Chu, descendants of the Overlord, have always died standing, never lived on their knees! I called you here because you made contributions in the last battle of Gaixia, so I'm giving you one last chance. If you stop at the brink, dismount quickly and kneel down to beg for surrender, I will spare your life!"

Ying Bu looked up and laughed wildly as if he had heard a great joke. After a while, he stopped laughing and became furious. He pointed at Xiang Chang and cursed: "You are such a rude boy! The reason why I rebelled against Chu and joined the Han camp was to get rid of the shadow of the Overlord and become a king! I made this decision again for the same reason! I heard that you, the Great Chu, believe that those who have made great contributions cannot be kings. Pah! Is this how you treat meritorious officials?! I followed you, the Great Chu, through life and death, and finally I became a mess, but I can't even be crowned as a king. Why?"

"You are really obsessed with being a king, but a living marquis is better than a dead king!" Xiang Chang said coldly.

"Hahaha, Dead King? How shameless! Now that your Great Chu is at the end of its road and will soon be doomed, you are still bluffing in front of me. Haha, no matter how many tricks you use this time, you can't deceive me, and you can't make me bow my head! Not only that, today I will kill you with my own hands to wash away the humiliation you inflicted on me last time!" Ying Bu's words revealed hatred deep in his bones.

"Okay, okay, Ying Bu, you really are worthy of being you! - Since you don't want to be a living marquis and want to be a dead king, then I'll grant your wish!" Seeing that Ying Bu was determined and had no intention of turning back, Xiang Chang completely gave up the idea of ​​talking nonsense with him, turned his horse's head and left.

"Now that you're here, are you just going to leave like this? Xiang Chang, let me check if your martial arts have improved during this period of time?" Ying Bu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. With a grim smile, he rode towards Xiang Chang, waving a spear.

It seems that the reason why Ying Bu came to chat with Xiang Chang was that he had evil intentions and planned to take this opportunity to kill Xiang Chang on the spot.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Killing Xiang Chang in front of the 7,000 Chu cavalry will not only eliminate the long-accumulated resentment in his heart, but it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the morale of the Chu cavalry. The following battle will become much easier.

It has to be said that Ying Bu was indeed ruthless and cunning enough. Once he decided to betray Chu, he did so thoroughly. Not only did he not care about their old friendship, but he also did not leave any way for retreat!
Gu Feng, who was watching from behind with a nervous look on his face, was afraid that Ying Bu, who was obviously not smart enough, would be fooled by Xiang Chang again and make a mistake of changing sides in the battle like last time. But now, seeing that the two men had not only failed to talk, but Ying Bu was riding his horse and brandishing his spear to kill Xiang Chang, he was relieved and cheered, "Good! The King of Chu is worthy of being the King of Chu, mighty!"

Xiang Chang was furious: "You dare to be so arrogant when death is imminent!" He kicked the big black horse, and the big black horse suddenly rushed backwards, creating some distance between him and Ying Bu. Then he bent the bow and drew the arrow. In just a few clicks of his fingers, a series of arrows shot towards Ying Bu.

Ying Bu knew that Xiang Chang was an excellent archer, so he was on guard. He chased after him on horseback, and at the same time, he secretly shook his wrist, showing a strong force, and flew his spear like a flying wheel, protecting him tightly in front of him, and easily knocked away the arrows one by one. "Xiang Chang, is this your special skill? If you don't have any other outstanding skills, it will be my turn next." Ying Bu laughed wildly.

At this moment, Xiang Chang, who was fleeing in front, suddenly stopped his horse, turned around and looked at him, his eyes revealing a strong sense of - pity?

Ying Bu's smile disappeared, and he became extremely confused. Then, a warning sign of carelessness arose in his heart, and a sudden and huge sense of danger that was enough to endanger his life gripped him tightly.

Ying Bu suddenly raised his head, his eyes opened wide, and a fierce light shone in them, like a ferocious beast trapped in a deadly situation.

The two front rows of the seven thousand Chu cavalry behind Xiang Chang separated to the sides, revealing four strange-looking "vehicles" behind them. The vehicles were equipped with triple bowstrings, which were as thick as wrists and as long as a ton, like giant spears made of pure iron! At this time, accompanied by a dull and extremely deafening sound, the triple bowstrings that were fully stretched to their maximum were released at the same time, and four huge "arrows" that were off the mark burst towards him.

"It's over!" Ying Bu only had time to show a trace of despair on his face as this thought suddenly emerged in his mind. The next moment, four huge "arrows" appeared in front of him out of thin air and pierced into his body and the horse he was sitting on!

The big spear that he instinctively swung out completely missed.

These four giant arrows are so fast!
It was so fast that even a full-strength attack from him, the world's top warrior, was completely useless!

The heavy pure iron armor Ying Bu was wearing seemed as soft and fragile as cloth under the four giant arrows and was easily torn apart.

So as the 30,000 Jiujiang soldiers watched helplessly, accompanied by a dull and piercing whistle, several cold rays of light flashed as if cast by the gods, and their leader, the newly-appointed King of Chu, and his horse, suddenly exploded in a thick blood mist, their bodies tore into pieces, flew backwards a long distance in a mess, and fell powerlessly to the ground!
This scene is really too horrifying!

The mighty general who was feared by all the world and the famous king turned into a pile of minced meat in the blink of an eye. This was a soul-shaking blow to the 30,000 Jiujiang troops.

The "Three-bow Crossbow" has a long range, great lethality, and explosive speed. It is undoubtedly a weapon of dimensionality reduction in the current world! However, due to the short time, the "Craftsman Camp" only had time to manufacture four of them. Now Xiang Chang pulled them to the front of the battle and made a great contribution in one fell swoop, killing Ying Bu, the legendary general, on the spot!

"King Ying Bu of Jiujiang has gone back on his word and repeatedly rebelled against the Overlord, for which he was punished by the gods! Brothers of the Jiujiang Army, why don't you quickly turn to the light and join us again?" At this time, the cavalry of the Chu Army camp shouted loudly at the same time.

While shouting, he rode his horse and rushed towards the Jiujiang cavalry line.

The 30,000 Jiujiang cavalry were truly bewildered, including the officers and generals. They were all shaken and at a loss, their ranks were in disarray, and they were in a panic.

Generals Gu Feng, Feng Wuze, Guo Ning, Guo Meng and others were also terrified. They knew Ying Bu had fallen into Xiang Chang's trap again, so they naturally did not believe the shouts of the Chu cavalry. However, seeing that their cavalry was in a state of confusion, at a loss and lacking fighting spirit, they rode out of the crowd, brandished their weapons and shouted, "Don't be deceived by the Chu army. Avenge the King of Chu. Kill! Kill!"

The two shots passed by in the blink of an eye, and at this time, seven thousand Chu cavalry had rushed to the front like a raging tide.

Ying Bu was dead, and Gu Feng was the leader among the remaining Han generals.

At this point, Gu Fengqing knew that if he retreated, not only would the 30,000 Jiujiang cavalry be destroyed, but the entire Han camp would also be implicated. After all, according to the original plan, after the 30,000 Jiujiang cavalry defeated the blocking Chu cavalry, they would also have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of cooperating with the Han camp's right army to attack the Chu army's left army and destroy it. He immediately gritted his teeth, took the lead, and led the guard cavalry beside him to meet the Chu cavalry.

Before the fight started, another strange and sharp whistle was heard. Gu Feng looked up hastily and saw a fat and strong Chu cavalryman rushing towards him with a fierce look on his face. He waved his hand and threw the weapon at him.

The weapon was actually a guillotine that was two palms wide and one cubit long, making people tremble with fear at the sight of it!

"Oh my god!" Gu Feng felt that his soul instantly flew away from the top of his head where the cold air was coming out, and he blurted out a curse.

Fortunately, he was also an experienced man, and his reaction was amazingly fast. With a quick and beautiful backward jump, he lay completely on the horse's back.

The rapidly spinning guillotine was almost close to his belly, spinning past him with a "whoosh whoosh" sound, making him break out in cold sweat.

Gu Feng, who was still in shock, stood up and looked back hastily, and saw that three or four of the guard cavalrymen behind him were chopped down by the sword!
Soon afterwards, the Chu cavalryman rushed up to him, brandishing a large spear and stabbing him in the chest, with a ferocious and domineering look on his face, as if he would not stop until he had impaled him and his horse into the ground in one fell swoop!
Gu Feng let out a fierce roar as if he was forced into a desperate situation. He swung his spear and smashed it hard, blocking the Chu cavalryman's spear.

The two of them fought back and forth.

The ferocious Chu cavalryman was obviously really angry. He saw that Gu Feng was a high-ranking general and was determined to take his head as a reward for his military merit, so he attacked relentlessly.

At this time, the 30,000 Jiujiang cavalry and the 7,000 Chu cavalry had collided with each other. For a moment, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the sounds of weapons slashing and blocking were loud. All that could be seen was the extremely brutal fight with all their strength.

Gu Feng was not as naive as this Chu cavalryman. As the highest-ranking general, he needed to look around from time to time to observe the entire battlefield situation.
