The night was dark and the world was lonely.
There was only a vast force that traversed the mountains and rapidly traversed, vividly displaying the word "elite".
They were armed with weapons, and there was no hesitation on their cold faces.
The place where the order is, the place where the vanguard is.
"Advance!"
Xiang Yu raised his arm and shouted, pointing the tip of his spear at the hazy fire in front of them. This was the only lighthouse that guided them forward.
They stepped on the muddy road, stirring up the wet mud and leaving heavy footprints.
Training time and time again, the profoundness of rapid marching was engraved into their bones.
Xiangyu trained the elites, a special combat unit.
Marching at night was one of the criteria to assess whether a troop was qualified or not.
When Xiang Yu first carried out the mission, more than 100 of the 500 lieutenants fell behind.
Unable to see clearly in the dark, physical exhaustion, and so on were all excuses. After a month of training, the Huai River Battalion finally adapted to the night march.
Humans had a natural fear of the night. Only by overcoming this could they be called elites.
There were 2,000 soldiers in the Huaishui camp, divided into four lieutenants.
Five people form a team, ten people form a team, a hundred people form a count, and five hundred people form a lieutenant. The corresponding officers were the sergeant, the sergeant, the uncle, and the commandant.
Xiang Yu had made many military achievements. Apart from joining the army, he was also appointed by Sun Ce as a lieutenant of the Huai River.
Now that there were many dukes and countless miscellaneous generals, no one would look at the size of their official positions. They would dominate based on their strength.
Now that Sun Ce was still a general, Xiang Yu would not feel wronged as a lieutenant.
When they arrived at Guling Ferry, Jiang Qin anxiously reported,"Commandant, the scouts have discovered an army. It seems to be Gu Ling's reinforcements, with about three thousand people.”
Xiangyu weighed the pros and cons for a while and said in a deep voice,""First deal with the enemy's reinforcements and break their morale.”
"Understood!" Jiang Qin cupped his fists and said.
Xiang Yu made full use of the mobility of the Huai Water Battalion and their ability to fight in the field to avoid the camp that Zhou Xin was guarding.
After passing through a few hills, a boundless fire dragon entered his sight.
Xiang Yu made a prompt decision. The tip of his spear flickered with silver light as he shouted in a deep voice,
"Assault!"
The Huai Water Battalion descended from the sky and attacked the Kuaiji Army like a dragon in the night.
People were talking and horses were neighing.
"Kill them!"
The slaughter swept down.
Wang Lang's heart trembled as if he was being stared at by a wild beast. His breathing quickened.
He had a premonition that something would happen at Guling Ferry, so he led the army to reinforce them overnight. He did not expect to encounter an ambush.
"Reinforcements will arrive soon. Everyone, follow me and fight!”
A chaotic battle broke out.
Xiang Yu soon discovered that there were many Shan Yue tribes mixed in this army, and they were willing to fight for Wang Lang.
This was definitely not a good sign.
Shan Yue's combat strength could not be underestimated. They were poor, brave, and aggressive, not afraid of death.
The famous Danyang Soldiers were recruited from Danyang County.
Shan Yue of Kuaiji Prefecture also came from the same lineage.
They bared their teeth, brandished their blades, and fought for the kindness they believed in.
Unfortunately, they had run into the Huai Water Battalion, a well-trained elite force that could make them feel despair.
Xiang Yu shook his iron spear and struck several people, creating a bloody path.
He only looked at the enemy's flag!
Zhou Xin quickly received a report from the sentry post. He knew that something had happened behind them, so he mobilized his troops and prepared to send reinforcements.
At this moment, a scout reported that Sun Ce's army was approaching in the rain.
He was forced to lead the army to fight, blocking Sun Ce's main force at the shoal.
The two armies clashed and blood spilled.
Tonight was destined to stain the river with blood!
Xiang Yu heard the fierce fighting in Guling and knew that Sun Ce had begun the battle to cross the river.
Zhou Xin didn't care about the rear and revealed a flaw.
Perhaps he had trusted the reinforcements too much, or perhaps he was forced to do so.
Xiang Yu seized the opportunity to disperse Wang Lang's reinforcements. Then, he lit a torch to illuminate the riverside.
The rain fell bit by bit, and the sky was pitch-black.
Sun Ce saw the raging fire on the other side of the mountain and knew that the Huai Water Battalion had started a bloody battle to contain the enemy.
"Soldiers, charge!"
The troop-carrying ships continued to flow as they busied themselves on the Zhe River. Sun Ce's army quickly stabilized their position on the shoal.
As the Huai Water Battalion attacked Zhou Xin's rear, the situation was settled.
Xiang Yu was like a hot knife through butter, overturning the enemy's line of defense and transmitting the clang of weapons to everyone's ears.
"Charge, tear them apart!"
The camp on the Huaihe River was like a tiger or a wolf. In an instant, the drums and music were noisy.
Zhou Xin was unable to take care of both sides and was surrounded on a hill.
Sun Ce pointed his sword forward, killing intent spreading out.
"Zhou Taiming, I know your name, why not surrender earlier?”
"Dying for the country and being loyal to your duty, why should I be afraid? It's you rebels who will not die a good death!”Zhou Xin was impassioned.
A rain of arrows fell, and Zhou Xin was pierced through and killed.
His troops cried and wailed.
Sun Ce's army took advantage of the situation to occupy the ferry and attack Shanyin County, the county seat of Kuaiji County.
Wang Lang was frightened and led his troops to retreat to Dongye.
