Chapter 680 Only those who can endure what ordinary people cannot can be the ultimate winner!
Dorgon sent someone forward to inquire.
But just as that person went there, before he could even ask a question, he discovered that the chaotic army had not stopped.
In the chaos of war, someone pushed him off his horse, and he was instantly trampled over by countless people.
"?"
"Archers, prepare to release!"
Even if Dorgon didn't know what had happened, he could clearly understand one thing after seeing this scene.
These people were completely terrified.
At this point, only the threat of death could bring them back to their senses.
However, after a sparse volley of arrows, the fleeing people showed no sign of stopping.
Even Dorgon wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but it seemed like these people were escaping even faster?
Could it be that there's some kind of monstrous flood or beast behind us?
Even the monstrous raiders from before were still surrounded and almost killed by his cunning.
Besides that person, who else could pose such a great threat?
This even forced these people to disregard the threat of a rain of arrows.
This confusion did not last long.
Because just moments later, he saw the reason why these people were fleeing in a frenzy.
It was still that nightmarish figure.
Back when he was outside the Great Wall, it was this very figure who led thousands of men to rout his camp.
Right now, it's still the same person!
"Ridiculous! Have we all forgotten how we surrounded and killed this man in the last encounter?"
"Even if he really is a monster, as long as he gets separated from the troops behind him, he can still be trapped and killed!"
"Go, let him come over here, and do everything in your power to block the troops behind him!"
"I want to see if he can break through the encirclement by himself!"
After seeing Xiang Yu clearly, Dorgon was not too frightened.
In their last encounter, he nearly killed him. If Xiang Yu hadn't been so incredibly brave, he would have been one of his spoils by now.
But he could never have imagined that the troops that followed Xiang Yu last time were fundamentally different from those this time.
Not only were their elite forces vastly different, but their trust in Xiang Yu was also completely different.
The soldiers of Jiangdong, to put it bluntly, were Xiang Yu's relatives and brothers.
They had complete trust in Xiang Yu. Even if they knew it was a dead end, they would follow him without hesitation, no matter the cost, as long as he went.
As long as he had the support of the people of Jiangdong, there would never be a time when Xiang Yu was isolated and helpless!
The Qing troops who had been following Dorgon in rescuing supplies from the baggage train had no idea why these people were fleeing so frantically.
But they also felt that Dorgon's words were fine.
In the last encounter, they intercepted Xiang Yu's troops behind him and almost surrounded and killed him in the army formation.
This time, Xiang Yu had even fewer troops behind him.
Encircle and annihilate him, it'll be a piece of cake!
With a wave of Dorgon's hand, thousands of people rushed forward.
A small number of men wielding shields stood in front of Xiang Yu, while the rest bypassed him and headed straight for the troops behind him.
Shields, more shields!
Seeing that these people were actually using the same tactics as in their last encounter, Xiang Yu couldn't help but sneer.
The reason he didn't break through these shield-bearing soldiers with all his might last time was because he knew there was no one behind him.
The troops that Han Xin had hastily trained were not yet able to keep up with his pace in battle, and it was difficult for them to provide him with the necessary support when they were trapped in enemy lines.
Therefore, in the previous round of confrontation, he needed to leave himself some room for maneuver in every aspect.
But now, he is followed by his Jiangdong followers!
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, as he approached the soldiers holding shields in front of him, his warhorse reared up high, and his halberd, after being fully charged, slammed into the shield with a crescent-shaped strike.
"nice!"
There was no need to look at the outcome; the people of Jiangdong were well aware of Xiang Yu's strength.
This build-up of power, this slamming down.
While the shield remains difficult to break, the person beneath it cannot withstand such terrifying force.
Almost the instant the halberd struck the shield, the two soldiers beneath it went limp, unable to even utter a single scream.
"You ant, how dare you block my way?"
"Dorgon, I couldn't find you outside the Great Wall before, but today, your head should be mine!"
After breaking through the two shield-bearers at the front, Xiang Yu swung his halberd in a sweeping motion, sending the remaining shield-bearing soldiers who were trying to surround him flying several meters away.
After doing all this, Xiang Yu raised his halberd and pointed it directly at Dorgon, who was standing there dumbfounded.
"Block him!"
"Forget about those damned provisions, all of you, get up there and hold him off!"
The scene he had just witnessed had almost horrified him.
What does it mean for two people to wield a shield?
Even with siege engines, it's unlikely they could kill the two instantly through their shields.
What kind of monster is this?
He wanted the surrounding troops to continue advancing, using their numerical advantage to block Xiang Yu.
But everyone had already seen what happened in that instant.
After witnessing such a horrifying scene, how many people would still have the courage to oppose Xiang Yu?
Let alone the fact that they still don't know how many troops the enemy has, even if they knew that there were only a few thousand people behind Xiang Yu, who would be willing to face such a monster when the situation is so unclear?
"Go forth! Whoever blocks his path will be rewarded with a hundred gold pieces; whoever injures him will be rewarded with a thousand gold pieces and be ennobled!"
"Whoever can cut off his head will be rewarded with ten thousand gold pieces, made a king, and will share the reins of government with me!!"
Seeing that none of them moved, Dorgon knew how much of a deterrent the scene had been to his men.
If you want them to keep fighting, the only way is to offer them huge rewards!
Profits can move people's hearts; enough profit can make them forget their fears!
Sure enough, as his words spread, most people, after a brief hesitation, gritted their teeth and stepped forward.
"Promise a huge reward?"
"Who do you think you are? A commander who only dares to cower in the back, a commander who will be the first to run away when things turn out badly."
"A man like you, unless you have a large army and excellent weapons and equipment, would not even be considered a worthy opponent."
As more and more enemies surrounded him, Xiang Yu laughed instead of being afraid.
He was even ashamed to add such a mark to his record of achievements after defeating such an enemy!
"Dorgon, wash your neck clean and wait, I will personally cut off your head."
"And this time won't be too long."
When Dorgon heard this, he even thought it was Xiang Yu's harsh words before retreating.
But after seeing that his charge continued and even grew stronger, he understood.
This wasn't just a harsh statement before retreating; it was a firm conviction that Dorgon would run away once he saw the situation was turning against him.
Just like that battle outside the Great Wall...
"Only those who can endure what ordinary people cannot endure will be the ultimate winners!"
Dorgon gritted his teeth.
Run!
