Chapter 814 The Great Defeat of the Chu Army in Jiangdong!
The wildly popular online novel, "I Summon Famous Generals from All History in Another World," is a heartfelt work by author Mu Jin Bai Yi.
"boom!"
The two forces collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.
Xiang Yu felt an unprecedented force surge through him, and his body was thrown backward as if struck by a boulder. He tumbled several times in the air before landing steadily on the ground.
However, before he could regain his footing, Wang Xiangyang attacked again.
Xiang Yu felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, but he could only force his exhausted body to swing the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd once more, trying to withstand the tidal wave of attacks.
However, his strength is now too weak to withstand Wang Xiangyang's fierce attacks.
"Sizzle!"
A sharp sound rang out, and Xiang Yu felt a chill on his side. A hideous wound appeared on his body again, and blood gushed out, staining his armor red.
"Walk!"
A resolute thought flashed through Xiang Yu's mind. He endured the excruciating pain and swung the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd once more, stubbornly taking the blow from Wang Xiangyang.
With that blow, he felt as if his body was being torn apart, but he gritted his teeth and stubbornly refused to fall.
But at this moment, Xiang Yu had no time to check his injuries; he only knew that this was the best time for him to escape.
After enduring Xiang Yang's halberd strike, Xiang Yu used the immense force to quickly retreat, instantly turning his horse around and leaving a distance between himself and Wang Xiangyang.
The black horse seemed to sense its master's urgency, and with all four hooves off the ground, it charged forward like a whirlwind.
Xiang Yu lay on his horse, feeling the wind whistling past his ears, his heart filled with boundless bitterness.
The black horse neighed and pawed the ground, carrying Xiang Yu as it charged like the wind into the ranks of the Chu army in Jiangdong.
As Xiang Yu's disheveled figure, like a defeated lion, crouched on his black horse and fled back at an unprecedented speed.
The morale of the Chu army in Jiangdong, which had been barely maintained, was completely extinguished at this moment!
Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King!
This was a figure like a god of war in their hearts, the lord who had led them in battles across the north and south, never suffering a defeat.
The escape at this moment was like a heavy hammer blow, striking the hearts of every Jiangdong youth!
On the battlefield, the Jiangdong Chu army, which had been barely able to maintain its formation, was now in complete chaos.
Countless Chu soldiers from Jiangdong looked at each other, their fighting spirit replaced by despair.
Some people stopped fighting, staring blankly at Xiang Yu's departing figure, as if they had lost their reason to continue fighting. Others began to scatter and flee, trying to escape the battlefield that was about to be submerged by the Nine Heavens Army.
The eyes of many soldiers of the Chu army in Jiangdong were filled with confusion and fear. Their desire for victory and their trust in their lord were shattered by the cruel reality at this moment.
Seeing that once invincible figure now so disheveled, the courage that had sustained them in their fight to the end seemed to vanish along with Xiang Yu's escape.
"Our lord has been defeated..."
This idea spread rapidly among the Chu army in Jiangdong, like a plague.
Countless Chu soldiers began to panic, and cracks appeared in their originally tight formation. Some began to retreat, while others stood still, at a loss.
The fighting spirit that once struck fear into the hearts of the enemy has now vanished.
Standing on the central command platform of the Jiuxiao Army, Han Xin keenly observed the collapse of morale among the Chu army in Jiangdong.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time and was ready!
With a sudden wave of his command flag, the flag bearers on the command platform instantly waved their flags, and tens of thousands of Jiuxiao Army soldiers launched a general offensive.
"Ambush!"
Han Xin's calm voice was quickly relayed throughout the battlefield by messengers, and tens of thousands of Jiuxiao soldiers seemed to be injected with endless vitality, surging towards the Chu army in Jiangdong like a tide.
The infantry formation advanced like a rock, their spears forming a dense forest, each step striking the hearts of the Chu army of Jiangdong.
The Nine Heavens Army cavalry, who had been waiting on both flanks, flanked from both sides like two sharp scythes, ready to harvest the "crops" on this battlefield.
The archers behind them drew their bows and nocked arrows, which rained down like raindrops, mercilessly reaping the lives of the Jiangdong soldiers.
At this moment, the Chu army in Jiangdong was completely thrown into disarray.
Their already shaky morale collapsed completely under the fierce attack of the Nine Heavens Army.
Among the Chu army in Jiangdong, those soldiers who still tried to resist appeared so powerless under the fierce offensive of the Jiuxiao army.
Their resistance was like a small boat on a vast ocean, which could be swallowed up by giant waves at any moment.
Some fought desperately until the very last moment, while others chose to surrender, kneeling on the ground with fear in their eyes.
Xiang Yu's defeat was like a bomb that detonated the morale of the Chu army in Jiangdong, causing the already crumbling defenses to collapse completely.
Countless Chu soldiers from Jiangdong began to scatter and flee. Some abandoned their weapons, and some even took off their armor, thinking only of escaping this land of death as soon as possible.
Those who surrender will not be killed!
The shouts of the Nine Heavens Army echoed across the battlefield, which was undoubtedly the best option for the Jiangdong soldiers who had lost their will to fight.
Finally, those Chu soldiers who had been caught by the Nine Heavens Army's cavalry and had virtually no chance of escape stopped, knelt down, and surrendered.
In a short time, countless people surrendered, and white flags fluttered everywhere on the battlefields of the Chu army in Jiangdong.
Xiang Yu's defeat and escape were like the first domino, completely triggering the collapse of the Chu army in Jiangdong!
Those Jiangdong Chu soldiers who had followed him in his campaigns across the north and south, now that they had been overtaken and realized there was no hope of escape, all chose to give up resistance.
Without the will to fight to the death for Xiang Yu, the war had lost its meaning to continue.
Han Xin looked at the situation on the battlefield, and a faint smile slowly appeared on his lips.
Ever since his first encounter with Xiang Yu, he had been plotting for a long time, and now his plan had succeeded!
They took advantage of Xiang Yu's arrogance and underestimation of his enemy to set this perfect trap.
Xiang Yu, the enemy whom he once feared, was now fleeing in a sorry state like a stray dog.
Heh... Extreme Qi? Few in the world can rival you?
He's just a brute!
"Pass down the order: pursue the remaining enemy forces, but do not indiscriminately kill the innocent."
Han Xin's voice echoed across the battlefield; the purpose of war is not to kill.
His goal is not only the Wenzhou region in front of him, but also the Quezhou region in the south, which is also in the hands of Xiang Yu's Chu army, and even... the Jiangdong region!
Han Xin was very interested in them all and would take them from Xiang Yu one by one.
At that time, these Chu soldiers, who were originally from Jiangdong, will play a role in Han Xin's hands that exceeds their imagination!
Therefore, with the defeat and death of Xiang Yu, the backbone of the Chu army in Jiangdong, the remaining Chu army in Jiangdong was no longer a threat.
He hoped to win the war at the lowest possible cost!
Each of these surrendered Chu soldiers from Jiangdong would be an important resource for his future conquest of Jiangdong.
