Chapter 607: How Dare You Hit Your Father!

leader?

The old farmer looked at the young man's back, and after eating the food in his hand, he began to eat the potatoes given to him with confidence.

This reaction made the farmers on the side stunned again, and they couldn't help but ask,

"Aren't you surprised?"

The farmers were a little surprised, this was the leader of the farmers!

I gave you my own food and ate the food you left on the ground. Shouldn't this be a shock?

The old farmer said very naturally at this time,

"This is what we farmers should be like."

"This is our leader!"

What does it matter if a farmer eats some dirt?

When the farmers heard this, they were stunned again.

He looked at Zhao Lang's back and seemed to understand something in his heart.

At this time, Zhao Lang had arrived at a high place where he could see the status of the entire team.

"Slave, what's going on with those old people in the team?"

He summoned all the farmers in Gaixia to build up his momentum, which was also a way to show his strength.

But there are regulations.

Those who are too old must not come.

Nowadays, everyone relies on walking, and some oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages also transport supplies.

The journey is too long, and the elderly will die if they walk all the way!

At this time, the slave returned with a bit of a wry smile,

"We have reported it before, and it is the elderly who want to come."

"We can't stop it, we can only be more generous with food."

They can't just tie these people up.

Zhao Lang frowned slightly,

"Have you told the elders about the consequences?"

The slave nodded at this time,

"I've said it all and persuaded some to go back, but the rest are more stubborn."

Zhao Lang didn't know what to say for a while.

The slave hesitated for a moment and then said,

"Master, actually the conditions we gave you are very generous. Even if you are a slave, you never had enough to eat when you were a child."

"We have never treated anyone badly along the way."

"This food is enough to buy these lives."

"These lives are not so valuable."

He was born a slave and had seen many worse things in the world than this.

One bite of rice can change one or even several lives!

Therefore, when he saw Zhao Lang, he was willing to do anything for that opportunity!

The result also proved that he was right.

After hearing what the slave said, Zhao Lang fell silent for a moment and said,

"Fate shouldn't be so cheap."

After a pause, he added,

"At least not in Great Qin."

He has no intention of saving all mankind.

With a slight sigh, Zhao Lang quickly pulled his thoughts away from here and asked quickly,

"How's it going with everyone else?"

The slave quickly replied,

"Saint Girl, Peng Yue, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others have already led their people towards Gaixia."

"We should be able to arrive in a few days."

"Master, there is news from the Holy Maiden and Peng Yue. Together they have more than 20,000 fighting soldiers!"

When the slave said this, he was a little happy. At this time, any soldier who can fight is worth cherishing.

Zhao Lang didn't pay much attention to the number of people and just warned,

"They don't have to be so fast. With Han Xin and the others blocking the way, they have enough time."

"Don't increase casualties by rushing."

The slave naturally responded, so Zhao Lang continued to ask,

"What are the movements of the Chu army?"

The slave replied,

"The Chu army was in a hurry to set up defenses and marched all the way. Now they are almost at Gaixia."

Zhao Lang nodded, and the other party's actions were expected.

Probably trying to find a way to crack his crossbow and add gunpowder.

In fact, as long as he knows how to do it, these things of his can't really cause too many casualties.

The main thing is psychological shock and damage to morale.

But fortunately, this time, he had never thought of using this trick.

If there are more people, then it depends on who has more people.

Soon, the slave went down to deliver the order.

Zhao Lang glanced at the line of farmers that stretched for dozens of miles again, and turned to leave. This time, even if the farmers shed their blood, it was for all the farmers.

At this time, Gaixia.

This was originally just a small earth city on a slightly higher ground.

When the Chu army went north, they chose this place as the point to take over from the rear.

A major expansion was carried out to serve as a transfer station.

Now, many Chu troops are working again.

At this time, Xiang Yu was looking at the construction site on the low city wall and asked,

"How long will it take to build another earth wall?"

Long Ju on the side quickly replied,

"Your Majesty, a few more days are enough."

"It's just that this earthen wall won't be particularly strong."

Xiang Yu replied calmly,

"It doesn't matter. These earthen walls are just to stop the Qin army's crossbows. It only needs to be able to block some of them."

"Their crossbows can't even fire a few rounds."

"By the way, what are the movements of the Qin army?"

Long Ju replied,

"The Qin Army is almost here, only dozens of miles away from here, but for some reason, they have blocked the surrounding area very tightly this time."

"Our people are not very aware of the surrounding situation."

"But I heard that the farmers came in and have been bewitching the farmers."

"Your Majesty, the Qin army won't have any big tricks up their sleeves."

After hearing this, Xiang Yu pondered for a moment and said,

"What kind of trick can there be? It's just an old trick that was used before to block the eyes and ears."

"But this is Chu land. Even if we don't need spies, I know the terrain arrangement here!"

"As for confusing farmers, there's no need to worry."

"I think they know that our army has a large number of people and want to temporarily recruit some farmers."

"It's just that the young and strong people here have been conquered by our army long ago, and those left behind are the old and weak. Let these people join the Qin army."

"It will only increase their burden! If Zhao Lang really dares to let them die, then the whole world will know the true nature of Zhao Lang's hypocrisy."

After hearing Xiang Yu's analysis, Long Ju couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.

I have to say that my king's military ability is still extremely strong.

If the young men here had not been forcibly recruited in advance, all the defeated troops would have been collected.

Otherwise, these people will also become sergeants of the Qin army, and by then, this battle will be difficult to fight.

Now, the Qin army's temporary recruits are all old and weak, and they are all young and strong.

Who is strong and who is weak on the battlefield? Needless to say?

In this battle, as long as the Qin army's thunder deterrent is broken, then it will be won!

Thinking of this, Long Ju couldn't help but smile.

Since the battle with the Qin army, in addition to being relatively smooth at the beginning, it has also gained the prestige of the Chu army.

But after meeting Zhao Lang, he almost suffered a loss.

Once the situation is stabilized this time, Da Chu will still be qualified to fight against the Qin army!

Xiang Yu continued to ask at this time,

"How are Yu Ziqi, Zhongli Mei and the others doing?"

Long Ju replied,

"The two are almost here and will be deployed on both sides of our army as flanks."

It is impossible to gather all these hundreds of thousands of people together in a war.

Xiang Yu nodded, and then said seriously,

"In that case, all the ministries are in position and ready to attack the Qin army!"

"Be prepared for the thunder from that day and the ones we made!"

"This time, we will definitely drive them out of Chudi!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Long Ju immediately took the order and left.

After Long Ju left, Xiang Yu returned to his tent. Dui at the door opened the tent for him and saw Yu Ji inside.

Logically speaking, there should be no female dependents in the army.

After last time, he almost always had to be held by Yu Ji before he could fall asleep.

Later, even though I realized that it was not a thunder at all, the nightmare naturally disappeared.

But he still brought the other party over.

Both Xiang Bo and Xiang Zhuang were captured by the Qin army, and he had no one to speak his mind to.

"Yu Ji, bring the wine."

Xiang Yu said with a smile as soon as he entered the camp.

Yu Ji took the wine with great obedience.

"Why is the king so happy?"

Xiang Yu replied,

"I already know the details of the Qin army, and I will win this battle!"

No matter which man he is, he will speak louder in front of the woman he loves.

Seeing Xiang Yu's high-spirited look, Yu Ji couldn't help but think of the first time she met Xiang Yu, so she smiled and agreed,

"Then I wish the king a great victory!"

Soon, the camp was filled with cheerful sounds.

It just made Dumb outside the tent couldn't help but pick his ears.

Although he was happy, Xiang Yu did not relax. He was still very concerned about urging the Chu army to build defenses.

But when the Chu army's spies were reporting back and forth, the Qin army had already arrived at the surrounding area, and the spies from both sides were also fighting.

He knew that the war was already around the corner.

"Gather the sergeants, don't conflict yet."

Xiang Yu quickly ordered.

This is not because he gave in, but because the Qin army's thunder threat has not been broken yet, the Chu army is somewhat afraid.

When he makes an appointment with the opponent tomorrow, he will declare that he is favored by God in front of both parties.

In this way, the Qin army's thunder deterrent can be completely broken!

"Come here! Go and write a letter of war to the Qin army!"

Soon, there were messengers from the Chu army heading towards the Qin army.

At this time, inside the Qin army's camp.

Countless spies and messengers delivered the news.

Zhao Lang was in Meng Yi's camp,

"Your Highness, the battle with the Chu army this time will be left to the old minister."

"Although there are many Chu troops, most of them are newly recruited men, so there is nothing to worry about."

"The opponent's cavalry will not be a problem as long as the crossbows are used properly."

Meng Yi quickly made arrangements. Of course, his core idea was to prevent Zhao Lang from going to the battlefield.

For him, now that the war has come to an end, there is no need to risk Zhao Lang!

It's just that Zhao Lang won't listen to him this time. This battle is not only to defeat the Xiang family's Chu army, but also to show and warn the people of the world!

He must take the lead himself.

Said directly and without any doubt,

"Meng Shengqing, this battle must be presided over by me."

Meng Yi and others were slightly stunned. This was the first time they saw Zhao Lang being so determined in the war. The other party was usually easy to negotiate.

"In the past few days, I have been looking for opportunities to fight!"

Hearing this almost unreasonable order, Meng Yi could only smile bitterly. How could there be any fighter jets?

The Chu army built a high wall, obviously not wanting to fight.

Just as he was about to dissuade him, a Qin soldier came in and said,

"His Royal Highness, General, the Chu army messenger is issuing a letter of war outside!"

"We will fight with our army tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly startled, and looked at Zhao Lang with a somewhat strange expression.

I was really sleepy so I brought a pillow.

Sure enough, Zhao Lang quickly said at this time,

"Tell them that our army will fight tomorrow!"

The Qin army took the order to leave, and Zhao Lang said to the slave,

"Send an order to the farmers and gather together in Gaixia early tomorrow morning!"

Nu immediately took the order and left.

Early the next morning.

Waves of smoke and dust rose up from time to time around Gaixia.

This is a sign of military activity.

Looking at the smoke and dust, the Chu army spies quickly sent the return information back to the city.

Soon, Xiang Yu and others slowly walked out of the city wall and arrived in front of the newly built earth wall.

You can go back at any time.

For a battle that has officially been declared, the generals of both sides can talk to each other.

This is a rule left over from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Soon, the smoke in the distance slowly approached, and Zhao Lang also appeared in front of him.

Looking at Zhao Lang, Xiang Yu had a complicated look in his eyes.

He still remembered when he and Zhao Lang fought side by side in Xianyang.

But who knew, now the swords are facing each other!

"Zhao Lang, do you dare to come forward and talk to me?"

Xiang Yu said loudly at this time.

Hearing the call, Zhao Lang did not hesitate and walked up with Tianyi.

With Tianyi around, he can escape safely.

Of course, just in case, he still kept a distance,

"Ayu, I have an appointment today. Are you willing to surrender?"

Looking at Xiang Yu, although Zhao Lang knew there was no hope, he still made one last attempt.

But Xiang Yu laughed and replied,

"Zhao Lang! You are bullying the Qin Dynasty and oppressing the six countries. I will not surrender even if I die!"

"Do you still think that destiny is only for you?"

"Now I have been favored by God and can summon thunder!"

Xiang Yu took the opportunity to take over the conversation and talked specifically about the sky thunder. His purpose today was to break the Qin army's pressure from the sky thunder!

His words also had messengers early on, spreading the word to everyone in the Chu army!

Sure enough, after hearing this, there was a sudden movement in the Chu army.

Most people have seen the power of the Qin Army's thunder and are extremely resistant in their hearts.

Everyone has already made a plan in their mind to take the opportunity to escape when the war breaks out and there is chaos.

How can one fight against the thunder?

But when they heard Xiang Yu's words, they were shocked again.

Can your own Overlord also summon thunder?

At this time, Xiang Yu had already witnessed Zhao Lang's tendency to act unconventionally, so he stopped nagging and directly let someone light a fire that had been prepared.

Loudly,

"Thunder, come quickly!"

Then he took out the bow! An arrow shot into the fire.

Not long after, in front of everyone's eyes, an explosion burst into the sky.

This time not only the Chu army was shocked and speechless, but even the Qin army opened their eyes wide!

There is only one thought in my mind,

This overlord of Western Chu also has destiny?

Seeing this scene, Xiang Yu couldn't help but show a proud smile. No matter whether others believed in destiny or not, Chu Jun would not be afraid because of Tianlei!

This is his purpose.

He was about to formally declare war and attack, but found that Zhao Lang, who was not far away, looked at him with pitiful eyes.

Xiang Yu couldn't help but said loudly,

"Zhao Lang, what are you looking at!"

Zhao Lang said calmly,

"I'm looking at a poor man!"

"Ayu, take a good look, you are surrounded!"

Xiang Yu glanced at the battlefield where the smoke and dust had cleared. Now the Qin army had already surrounded Gaixia with its numerical advantage.

But Xiang Yu didn't panic at all, but laughed and said,

"I already know this, Zhao Lang, you are the one who wants to take a closer look!"

"How can these old and feeble men be a match for my king's army if there are another hundred thousand of them!?"

"Come here! Send the order to the three armies! This battle will last until the death!"

As he said that, a cavalryman came out from behind Xiang Yu. They ran around in the open space between the two armies like a demonstration, and then prepared to deliver the order.

At this moment, an old farmer walked out from behind Zhao Lang.

Regardless of life and death, he ran towards the cavalry, and no one else could hold him back!

Seeing this scene, Xiang Yu said loudly,

"Kill him to sacrifice the flag!"

The cavalry immediately took the order and headed towards the old farmer to kill him!

On the battlefield, it doesn't matter whether you are an old man or not!

Zhao Lang's expression changed slightly and he was about to go to the rescue.

But the cavalry was extremely fast and had already raised its weapons. The old farmer was about to die.

No one thinks that an unarmed old farmer can defeat a fully armed elite cavalry!

Just when everyone thought the old farmer would die, the cavalry suddenly stopped, and the horses were restrained and raised their hooves high, neighing.

It seemed that something extremely shocking had been discovered.

Then the next moment, everyone saw the cavalryman being pulled down by the old man, pinned to the ground and beaten wildly, while beating and cursing,

"Big boy! You've got a chance! How dare you hit your father!"

In an instant, the entire battlefield fell into silence!
