"Your Majesty, are the Han army pursuing us?"
The personal soldiers around him reminded him.
Looking down the hillside, they saw thousands of soldiers surrounding them and trapping them on the hillside. They were now isolated and had no way to escape.
Xiang Yu came to his senses, looked down at the Han army on the hillside, and said, "I will die today, but I am willing to fight for you quickly. I will surely win three victories and help you break the siege today."
The guards immediately perked up.
They followed the Overlord here and were ready to face death, so they were not afraid of dying in battle.
"You twenty-eight men, divide yourself into four teams and gallop along the hillside from all sides. Then, upon my command, converge on the east and attack the Han army."
"yes."
The twenty-eight people immediately received the order and ran in four teams.
Seeing that Xiang Yu's troops were breaking out in four directions, the Han army at the foot of the hillside hurriedly divided their troops to pursue them.
Seeing the opportunity, Xiang Yu rode his horse and galloped eastward. Four teams of Chu troops gathered together and charged into the Han army on the east side.
Seeing that Xiang Yu had only more than 20 soldiers and horses and was alone, the Han army in the east laughed.
As he was chuckling, Xiang Yu arrived and killed the first Han general. With the general's death, the remaining soldiers were frightened and immediately fled in defeat.
Xiang Yu took the head of a Han general among thousands of soldiers and broke through on horseback.
When he met up with the twenty-eight riders, Xiang Yu threw the head of the Han general in his hand to everyone to see.
Soon, the Han army came after them again, and Xiang Yu ordered the 28 cavalrymen to split into three groups and continue to break out.
When the pursuing troops arrived, Yang Xi saw that Xiang Yu had broken out in different directions and had no idea where Xiang Yu was, so he immediately ordered his troops to split into three groups to search.
Xiang Yu went into battle again, took the head of a Han commander and returned, killing nearly a hundred enemies. He fought his way out of the army and regrouped his cavalry.
Two riders were lost while breaking out.
Xiang Yu broke out of the siege of Dongcheng and gathered 26 cavalrymen to march south.
The twenty-eight riders escaped from the siege of thousands of troops with only two casualties.
