Under the leadership of Ying Ze Jiu, the five-thousand-strong cavalry broke through the encirclement of the rebel army, turned around, and rushed towards Wu Pass.
"Ah! That Qin thief!"
A wave of arrows blocked the attack. Fan Kuai was so flustered that his face turned red, and his eyes were bloodshot. He could only watch as Ying Ze Jiu left calmly.
He was the core figure of the Qin army at Wu Pass. If he left, wouldn't he return empty-handed today and lose so many soldiers? It would be like stealing a chicken and losing rice.
How could Fan Kuai not be angry?
"General Fan, do not pursue a cornered enemy. Don't fall into the enemy's trap.”
Zhou Bo knew how powerful the Qin army was, so he quickly stopped Fan Kuai. The Revolutionary Army had already suffered enough losses, and there was no need to add more.
"Humph!" " Are we just going to let them go?" Fan Kuai said angrily.”
Hearing this, Zhou Bo pondered for a while. The uprising army had lost more than 20,000 men during the sneak attack at Wu Pass. If they returned just like that, it would probably dampen the morale of the army.
"The nearest city to Wu Pass is Danshui, there are a lot of provisions stored there. If we take Danshui, we can explain it to Liu Gong when we return.”
"That's good. Men, pass on my order. Attack the Pill Water.”Fan Kuai shouted.
Zhou Bo's pupils constricted and he frowned. He knew very well what he meant by not sealing the saber. That was a massacre.
Even though in this chaotic era, there was slaughter everywhere and blood flowed like rivers, this was a little too brutal. After all, Pill Water City had nominally submitted to the Revolutionary Army.
However, he only glanced at Fan Kuai and said nothing. He led the rest of the army to Elixir Water, because everyone had to bear the responsibility for the terrible defeat just now.
As for the rebel army, which was originally a motley crew, they needed to vent their anger through this hearty massacre.
Under the night sky, the moonlight seemed so enchanting. The city by the Danshui River was originally silent, and the people were all dreaming.
However, a group of thugs armed with sharp weapons broke through the city gate and charged into the city under the moonlight. For a moment, wails filled the air and blood flowed like a river.
The entire Pill Water City had been baptized by slaughter. The so-called Liu Bang Revolutionary Army did not hide their beastly nature at all.
In just two hours, the soldiers and civilians of Danshui City were slaughtered by Fan Kuai's brutal army. Even the elderly and children were not spared.
The air was filled with the thick smell of blood. The ground was covered with corpses, and the blood was so flowing that it made people tremble.
In this chaotic world, people were inferior to dogs. If one wanted to avoid being killed, one could only kill.
This was the rule.
...........
It was a quarter past midnight.
"Pei Gong, General Zhou and General Fan have taken down Danshui City and seized a large amount of grain, gold, and silver.”
The sudden arrival of the vanguard envoy and the news that Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai had conquered Danshui City sent the rebel army into an uproar.
After a long journey, the army's rations had become increasingly scarce, not to mention meat. Now that they had taken down the city, they could at least eat something good. The soldiers were inevitably overjoyed.
Even Liu Bang was surprised. He was about to order the army to move to Elixir Water City and have a good meal.
"Pei Gong, please punish Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo.”
At this moment, Xiao He barged into the tent with a cold face and shouted.
"Xiao He, what are you talking about? Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo have just taken Danshui City and seized a large amount of grain, gold, and silver, and now you want me to punish them.”Liu Bang said in disbelief.
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned this. However, the moment he mentioned this, Xiao He became even angrier.
"Pei Gong, do you know what Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo did in Elixir Water? They actually ordered a massacre in the city. Now, the city is dead silent. Not even a living dog can be found.”
After Liu Bang heard this, he immediately smiled. He thought that Xiao He was a soft-hearted scholar and might not be able to see such a military matter.
"Lord Xiao, perhaps the Qin army is too stubborn, so Zhou Bo and the others inevitably gave such an order.”
"There are many cases of killing until one's eyes turn red. Xiang Yu often does this. This is the only time our army has done this.”
During the Battle of Dingtao, Xiang Liang, Lord Wuxin of the Chu Country, died in battle. Xiang Yu was so furious that he would order a massacre every time he attacked a city. Wherever he went, corpses would be strewn everywhere and no one would be seen.
"There won't be a next time.”
"Danshui County sent out an envoy a few days ago to declare their allegiance to the Pei County Revolutionary Army.”
"If our army doesn't break our promise and attack Danshui, and even massacre the city, how will the people of the world view our soldiers?”
From his words, he could tell that even Liu Bang did not care about massacring the city.
If this continued, the Revolutionary Army would definitely be reduced to the Qin Army, or even worse. Wherever they passed, be it the civilians or soldiers, they would all retreat three feet.
At that time, he bowed solemnly and said seriously,"If Pei Gong doesn't punish the two of them today, I will never be able to join the Revolutionary Army again.”
"Everyone knows that Xiang Yu is cruel and heartless. Everywhere he goes, people avoid him like a plague. He is truly notorious. Even King Huai of Chu is afraid of him.”
"In the past, the Pei County Revolutionary Army followed Xiang Yu's example and embarked on a path of no return. They will definitely disappear in the long river of history.”
