My father, King Chu, was besieged at Gaixia

Chapter 82: Big Defeat
Arriving at the drill ground, Zhongli Mei rode his horse to Xiang Chang and said, "General, I will join your team. I believe Ying Bu will not be able to say anything."

"Count me in!"

"I have disliked Ying Bu for a long time!"

At this moment, Ji Bu, Huan Chu and other generals forgot that Xiang Chang was the first to implement the Qin military merit system in the Chu army, which affected the fundamental interests of these aristocratic generals. They united as never before and spoke to Xiang Chang.

They decided that in a confrontation between the two sides, they would hold off Ying Bu, while Xiang Chang would lead his troops to wipe out Ying Bu's cavalry guards on the periphery. This way they would have at least a 50% chance of winning.

Yes, even if all of these core high-level generals of the Great Chu came together, and with a hundred cavalry against a hundred cavalry, Ying Bu would have very little room to maneuver and deploy his military formation, and he still did not dare to guarantee victory.

Ying Bu took off his brocade robe and put on a suit of iron armor. He ordered his 100 riders to take off their weapons and bows and arrows and replace them with spears without the spear heads. After getting dressed, he saw Zhongli Mei, Ji Bu and Huan Chu surrounding Xiang Chang and talking anxiously. He understood what was going on and laughed loudly: "No need to discuss. All of you come together. Today, I, Ying Bu, will take care of you all!"

Xiang Chang changed his light leather armor into iron armor, ignored the words of Zhongli Mei and others, turned to Xiang Zhuang and said: "You stay too!" His words revealed that there was no room for doubt.

Xiang Zhuang was stunned, glared at Zhongli Mei and others with dissatisfaction, stepped aside, and waved to another cavalry guard to replace him.

Seeing Zhongli Mei, Ji Bu, Huan Chu, and even Xiang Zhuang, retreating to the side with an unwilling look on their faces, Ying Bu raised his eyebrows and for a moment he really looked at Xiang Chang's courage with a new respect.

Holding a wooden stick, he looked Xiang Chang up and down and shouted coldly: "If you admit defeat now and apologize to me, this matter will be over!"

At this point, Ying Bu knew that Xiang Chang would never back down, so he said this naturally in order to make a hypocritical statement again so that he could shut the Overlord up afterwards.

He secretly thought that after warning Xiang Chang several times, even if the Overlord was angry, he would have nothing to say, and in order to fight against the Han army, he might have to appease him! And he was Xiang Chang's uncle, so wasn't it natural for an elder to teach his rude nephew a lesson?
Xiang Changli, who was riding on a big black horse opposite him, didn't bother to pay attention to him. He covered his face with thick cowhide, called out to the hundred guard cavalrymen behind him who were also dressed in full uniform, waved a long stick, and rushed forward fiercely.

Hei Shi who became famous for his scolding, the silly Xiang Xi, the cold and aloof young man Tian Jian, as well as Ning Xi, Wei Le, Han Hu and other generals, surrounded Xiang Chang and followed him closely!

Ying Bu suddenly felt relieved. He was really afraid that Xiang Chang would become weak again when the time came. Seeing that Xiang Chang was so ignorant of his own life and dared to fight against him, a famous general who had fought many battles, he couldn't help but get very angry.

His eyes could not hide the ruthlessness that was revealed. Ying Bu was too lazy to try any tricks such as sending the main force to meet the enemy on both wings, or dividing the army into several groups to attack successively. He took the lead, staring at Xiang Chang, and rushed straight towards him head-on.

Although the two cavalry troops were small in number, the sound of their hooves was as dull as drums, and the sound was even more majestic, exuding a violent momentum that could destroy everything in front of them! Ying Bu was determined to kill Xiang Chang in the first round and defeat Xiang Chang's 100 cavalry in one fell swoop. He was very clear about the combat power of his own cavalry guards. The cavalry guards behind Xiang Chang were absolutely vulnerable to a charge, and they would definitely doubt why they appeared here and provoked his tiger and wolf team!

Yes, the pride in Ying Bu's heart would not allow him to launch a second wave of attack to defeat Xiang Chang, a fledgling on the battlefield. If he wanted to win, he had to win quickly and beautifully!
Angry in his heart, he focused all his attention on Xiang Chang. He didn't notice at all that there were two strange-looking semicircular iron gadgets on both sides of the belly of Xiang Chang and the horses of the hundred riders behind him. The hundred riders stepped silently inside them.

"Ying Bu! After this battle, I want to fight you next!" Amid Zhongli Mei's angry roar, the one hundred cavalrymen led by Ying Bu and the one hundred cavalrymen led by Xiang Chang, with the rolling earth dragons rising from their true bodies, collided with each other with a loud bang!
The drill ground was instantly filled with flying dust and strong winds. The sound of wooden sticks hitting each other, the screams, curses, and shouts of the cavalry, the neighing of war horses, and the sound of horses falling to the ground could be heard one after another, densely and without interruption!
Zhongli Mei and the other onlookers, including Xiang Zhuang, all showed nervous expressions. Even though the drill ground was dusty and the view was not very clear, they still opened their eyes wide and looked.

Ying Bu took the lead and rushed to the front, staring at Xiang Chang who was rushing towards him. The wooden stick waving by Xiang Chang was undoubtedly a joke in his eyes. When the two horses were about to meet, he stretched out his wooden stick like a snake, and with a light shake and a flick, a huge hidden force penetrated the stick. With a "pop" sound, the wooden stick that Xiang Chang had thrown at him bounced up. Immediately when the two horses met, the wooden stick that still had some force left swept back, and with a muffled "bang" it hit Xiang Chang's back!
This is not over yet. "Bang", "Bang", "Bang", "Bang", four more sticks struck out one after another like rolling stones and thunder, accurately hitting the shoulders, chest, heads and other parts of Hei Shi, Xiang Xi and other four cavalrymen who were closely guarding Xiang Chang!

In a short while, he hit all five of the most ferocious-looking cavalrymen, including Xiang Chang. Ying Bu was very proud of himself. He gently pushed the charging warhorse forward, and the warhorse made a small semicircle as if it was gliding on ice. Then he turned the horse's head and stopped on the spot, waiting quietly for his cavalry to gather.

Even when passing by Zhongli Mei and other generals, he still had time to wave his long stick around, his intention to demonstrate could not be more obvious.

However, it was obvious that none of the generals including Zhongli Mei noticed his tricks. They all opened their mouths slightly, looked surprised, and stared at the battlefield behind Ying Bu in a daze!
Ying Bu was delighted, knowing that these guys were frightened by his swift and beautiful charge!
In his opinion, after this charge, there would be no more than 20 of the 100 cavalrymen behind Xiang Chang who could still sit on their horses! The five people he hit, including Xiang Chang, all fell off their horses and struggled in vain but could not get up.

Out of hatred for Xiang Chang, he did not hold back when he struck him with the stick just now. Even though Xiang Chang was wearing iron armor, he would still be in great pain.

However, the arrogance and complacency on Ying Bu's face slowly froze, and the arrogance in his eyes turned into disbelief!
Behind him, the cavalrymen who had gathered on flying horses were less than 20 in number, and the remaining 80 or so were lying on the ground in front of them, stretching their arms and legs and rolling and wailing helplessly. The fallen horses kept whining, and more of them were running around with their backs empty.

The scene was a mess.

As for Xiang Chang's back, there were more than seventy cavalrymen still intact on their horses, maintaining a strict formation, holding their white spears horizontally, looking murderously at Ying Bu and the less than twenty pitiful cavalrymen behind them.

"Where am I? How could this happen? This is impossible! Impossible!"

Ying Bu was like a tiger that had fallen into a pit, roaring silently in his heart. He especially saw that none of the four men, including Xiang Chang, who had been hit by him, fell off their horses, but were all safe and sound on their horses. For a moment, the wooden stick in his hand was almost broken by him.
