Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba led 10,000 elite soldiers on horseback at breakneck speed.
That very night, they stormed into Hulao Pass.
Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba ascended the city wall.
The two men flashed their badges: "Lord Jiang, we've been sent to assist you."
When everyone saw the 10,000 elite soldiers, they were all extremely excited.
These 10,000 elite soldiers were all dressed in gleaming armor, carrying muskets on their backs and holding horse-slaying swords.
The mere presence of these 10,000 elite soldiers made Chen Leiting and his men realize that they were not to be trifled with.
"The wounded brothers, go down and rest. Leave this to us." Xiang Yu waved his hand behind him. "You guys guard this place."
Ten thousand soldiers climbed the city walls.
They quickly set up 50 cannons.
More than 10,000 muskets were pointed at the city gate.
Chen Leiting: "Those brothers who are still alive, let's not go down for now. Let's advance and retreat together with our reinforcements."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Just then, the sound of retreat was heard from the rebel camp.
A gong sounded.
These rebels retreated one after another.
It was clear that they were extremely unwilling.
"Why did they suddenly withdraw while fighting?"
"Give us another half hour, and we will definitely be able to take Hulao Pass."
"Brothers, so many have died. How can we retreat at this crucial moment?"
"It's truly unbelievable."
"Who the hell is in charge here?"
Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba watched the departing troops and let out a long sigh.
“These bastards are fast; otherwise, a single volley of fire could have wiped out tens of thousands of them.” Li Yuanba looked at the military camp at the selection site.
"Li Yuanba, I think we can leave now," Xiang Yu said, looking into the distance.
"Absolutely."
"Open the city gates, and the two of us will go out." After saying this, Li Yuanba changed his clothes.
They took off their armor and changed into the clothes of ordinary people.
Chen Leiting was taken aback when he heard this.
“Generals, the rebel army’s camp is outside the city. They have a million men. If you two rashly go out of the city, you will be walking into a trap.”
Li Yuanba smiled slightly: "In my opinion, they are nothing more than a million chickens and dogs."
Xiang Yu: "They are just a million-strong rabble, what's so scary about them?"
Just as Li Yuanba reached the city gate, Xiang Yu quickly stopped him.
"Li Yuanba, if we leave the city rashly, we will definitely arouse suspicion."
"Which way do we go from here?"
Li Yuanba, look at the eastern sky.
The eastern sky was already showing a hint of dawn, and soon, a sky full of red clouds appeared.
The scene looked spectacular.
"Li Yuanba, have you forgotten what our mission is?"
Li Yuanba nodded: "Infiltrate the enemy camp and kill their commander."
"What are our identities?"
"Pang Qingyun's subordinates."
"Then how can we just swagger out like that?"
Before Xiang Yu could finish speaking, Li Yuanba leaped into the air.
This guy jumped straight off Hulao Pass, which is dozens of meters high.
Xiang Yu quickly followed suit and jumped from a height of nearly 100 meters.
The soldiers on the city wall were stunned when they saw this.
They didn't expect that these two guys would jump directly from a height of nearly 100 meters.
Chen Leiting quickly peered down.
Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba were both unharmed.
They whistled.
Wanli Yunyanzhao and Tayun Wuzhui also let out a long cry and leaped off Hulao Pass.
"Generals, this is a deity!"
"If an ordinary person jumped from such a height, they would surely be smashed to pieces."
"This warhorse is a fine steed; if an ordinary horse were to fall off it, it would be smashed into a pile of minced meat."
The garrison commanders and soldiers all exclaimed in admiration.
They rode their horses forward, recklessly charging ahead.
...
The main tent of the rebel army camp.
Sun Erhu and his men all retreated.
"General, we are about to succeed, why do we need to retreat?"
"General, once you sound this gong, all those brothers who died will have died in vain."
"General, we have lost twenty to thirty thousand brothers."
Pang Qingyun smiled slightly at the crowd: "If you continue to attack the city, you will suffer casualties."
I've chosen the exact date.
Jiang Tian and Qian Renxue's child will arrive today.
Do not rush to attack the city now.
With those two bastards, Jiang Tian and Qian Renxue, do you think the guards on the city walls would dare refuse to open the gates?
"I'm doing this for your own good, to avoid unnecessary casualties," Pang Qingyun said, then snapped his fingers: "Someone, bring them some hot wine, let them drink and rest."
In addition, there were the soldiers who had retreated from the front lines.
Each person is given two women.
Don't let them do any work today; just let the women serve them.
"promise……"
However, to Pang Qingyun's surprise, Sun Erhu and his men had no intention of going down.
"General, you promised that whoever breaches the city wall first will be rewarded with ten thousand gold pieces and be enfeoffed as a marquis of ten thousand households."
"The brothers led the charge, one after another, all for this reward and this money."
"What's the point of having two women with us?"
"Once we capture the capital, we can have as many women as we want. Even if we asked Empress Qian Renxue to accompany us, she wouldn't dare refuse."
