Chapter 677 Those willing to die, follow me in the charge!
"Brother Xiang, you... are as fierce as ever!"
Before leaving, Liu Bang could only silently give a thumbs up.
Only Xiang Yu could easily achieve a crushing victory when there was a significant disparity in weaponry between the two sides.
"It's not as fierce as you think. My left hand is still hanging."
Xiang Yu raised his left hand, but it seemed he still couldn't exert much strength.
"That's already quite impressive. To be able to charge back and forth like that in this battle is something that not just anyone can do."
"Also, take those few hundred Jiangdong soldiers you have with you, so that you can have someone to look after you later."
"Anyway, it doesn't matter whether they are there or not in the defense of the city. It would be a waste to let them die in the defense of the city."
"With you by their side, they can become an invincible force of the Jiangdong people."
After saying this, Liu Bang waved his hand, and hundreds of men walked up behind Xiang Yu without hesitation.
Once this topic is brought up, they don't want to leave.
For them, following Xiang Yu was far more promising than following this King of Han!
"Alright, then take care. After this surprise attack and encirclement is successful, the pressure will be on you. You must not reveal any flaws, otherwise all your previous efforts may be in vain."
"But you don't need to be under too much pressure. This raid was much more successful than we expected, and the Qing army will not have much force left to threaten the border."
"We won't need you for the next surprise attack, so get some rest."
"My lads, come with me!"
With a wave of Xiang Yu's halberd, the Jiangdong soldiers, who had been almost exhausted, seemed to find their backbone in an instant.
"Kill the enemy!"
"Cut off Dorgon's head and serve it to the Overlord as a side dish!"
Only after watching Xiang Yu lead his army in the direction the Qing army had retreated did Liu Bang finally relax completely.
Perhaps only someone like Xiang Yu could maintain such fighting spirit when faced with such a situation.
Indeed, he was able to lead dozens of cavalrymen out of the encirclement in such a desperate situation as the Siege of Gaixia, let alone the current battle situation.
Not only did they have more troops, but they also had Han Xin providing support from the outside.
As the encirclement gradually shrinks, the Qing army's resistance will only become increasingly feeble.
When the Qing army is forced to turn its attention to the border and try to escape, this battlefield will become his playground.
When Xiang Yu was in a losing position, he was still able to break through the encirclement. When he was in a winning position, it was hard to imagine anyone being able to stop the Jiangdong soldiers he led.
"A person like Xiang Ji is really suited for this kind of battlefield."
"He was a tyrant, but we must also admit that he was a hero."
On the battlefield, he was a hero no one could rival.
"Your Majesty, shall we... go back now?"
go back?
Liu Bang thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"I now understand why Xiang Yu was unwilling to cross the Yangtze River back then."
"If I go back now, I don't know how to face Zhang the tailor, or how to explain it to the soldiers."
"Although most of the beggars have died in battle, they died for me, so at least I should collect their bodies."
"Don't worry, the Qing army won't hold out for long. They'll catch up after a short rest."
With Xiang Yu leading the charge, the few who managed to escape would likely be terrified and pose little threat.
There were many things Liu Bang knew he couldn't do, but at least he wanted to give those heroes the treatment they deserved.
"According to the order!"
……
Amidst the ongoing flames of war.
The more Xiang Yu charged forward, the more surprised he became.
Especially since they had just encountered two groups of Qing troops that were completely different from other troops.
Whether it was their armor, their weapons, or their own level of skill, they were almost no less formidable than any enemy he had ever encountered.
If nothing unexpected happens, those should be the most elite troops in the Qing army.
And the guards of the supply depot should also be the same elite troops.
Indeed, breaking through these people was not difficult for him.
Just like the various elite forces he had encountered before, it wasn't overwhelming, but it wasn't too difficult either.
But he knew very well that ordinary soldiers, without a qualified general to command them, would only be crushed when facing such elite Qing troops in equal numbers.
Moreover, he had encountered that raiding camp's troops before, but it was only a small force.
Many times, he saw them, but before he could rescue them, they had already been killed or injured.
With such a small number of men and their tattered equipment, how could they possibly break through the defenses of such elite Qing troops and burn down the supply depot?
hard to imagine.
"How were the Qing troops we encountered earlier?"
He turned around and looked behind him.
Although the challenge required him not to bring his generals, these Jiangdong men had already developed a tacit understanding with him after so many years of fighting side by side.
Upon hearing his words, the person behind him instantly understood what he wanted to ask.
"We can easily destroy the enemy, but ordinary soldiers would probably only be crushed."
The troops they were able to defeat were an almost insurmountable barrier when facing ordinary soldiers.
"Then there's only one possibility left."
"The method they chose may have been aimed at total annihilation from the very beginning."
At this point, Xiang Yu suddenly fell silent.
Even he felt terrified.
That takes a lot of determination.
"My lads, they are no match for the Tartars, yet they have accomplished such a feat. How can we possibly lose to them?"
"If they can raid and burn the Tartars' supply camp, why can't we?"
"I will lead the charge. They burned the enemy's supplies, and I will go and cut down the enemy's banner."
"Those who are willing to die, follow me in the charge!"
……
"How should I put it, is this even a comparison?"
"Xiang Ji is still injured. If he goes too far, isn't he afraid of capsizing in a ditch?"
Indeed, no one throughout history has ever questioned Xiang Yu's bravery.
The phrase "a match for ten thousand men" might be an exaggeration when applied to others, but when applied to Xiang Yu, especially when he was leading his Jiangdong troops, it was a true description!
But an individual's bravery is ultimately limited.
Especially when facing an enemy force that is equally elite and even better equipped, being too reckless could very well lead to disaster!
"We have to compare. Xiang Ji is a man of great stature. He certainly respects those people, but his pride will not allow him to fall behind in terms of bravery."
“He can admire them, he can regard them as heroes, but he will never allow himself to fall behind them.”
"On this battlefield, the only achievements comparable to burning down the supply depot are killing the enemy commander and cutting down the enemy's banner."
"Dorgon certainly wouldn't dare to appear before him, so he actually had no choice."
"But if nothing unexpected happens, the Imperial Guard Battalion will definitely fight to the death."
"Making this decision means it will be a tough battle."
