Two days later, not long after Xiang Sheng led the remaining Chu troops to withdraw from Yinling.
Fan Kuai's five thousand light cavalry had arrived at the north gate of Yinling long before Liu Bang's main force.
There was no one guarding the top of the city, and there were only about twenty corpses hanging there.
Let the scouts run around the city for reconnaissance.
After confirming that it was an unguarded empty city, they led their troops into the city.
When the soldiers took down the twenty corpses, they had already begun to vomit.
Then he was presented to Fan Kuai.
Fan Kuai originally slaughtered pigs and dogs, but he started slaughtering countless cities after following Liu Bang's uprising.
So this scene didn't touch him at all.
There was also a cloth tied around the body, and anyone who wrote a letter to massacre the people of our Chu land would end up like this.
Facing an empty city, Fan Kuai was puzzled and questioned the remaining people in the city, only to find out that the Chu army had just left Yinling.
However, he thought it was the main force of the Chu army that had left, so he did not dare to pursue the Chu army immediately, but only sent out scouts to investigate.
The small city of Yinling could not accommodate a hundred thousand troops, so the main force of the Chu army was stationed outside the city.
During the Chu army's occupation, the city was under martial law and no one was allowed to enter or exit.
This led to the fact that the main force of the Chu army began to withdraw two days ago, and the people in the city had no way of knowing.
Xiang Yu watched the first batch of Chu soldiers board the ship.
These are hundreds of large and small boats collected from both sides of the river.
Among the people on board was Yu Ji.
Yu Ji originally said that she was unwilling to cross the river first and wanted to cross the river with Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu had no choice but to order Xiang Zhuang to take her aboard the ship by force.
The ferry can carry about 5,000 people at a time, and it takes about twenty times to complete the crossing.
Each batch takes an hour and cannot be sailed after dark.
Therefore, it takes almost three days to cross the river, and these three days are the most anxious three days after Xiang Yu's soul passed through the Overlord.
He ordered people to dig trenches and build fortifications outside the temporary simple ferry, and built a waning-moon-shaped simple defensive position to defend the ferry.
Five thousand of the most elite infantry were drawn out and put into a defensive formation behind the position, and maintained day and night.
Two thousand elite cavalry were also hidden in the reeds in the formation, ready to go at any time.
By the morning of the third day, 60,000 to 70,000 Chu troops had arrived safely in Jiangdong.
At this time, accompanied by a rumble, a line of men and horses surged out on the northern horizon.
It was Fan Kuai's five thousand cavalry.
It turned out that after the scout cavalry he sent had followed Xiang Sheng's troops for a long time, they realized that this was not the main force of the Chu army at all, and quickly turned back to report to Fan Kuai.
Only then did Fan Kuai realize that he might have made a mistake, and quickly led five thousand cavalry to the south.
When we arrived at Wujiang River, we found that the main force of the Chu army was crossing the river, and it seemed that many people had already passed by.
Facing Xiang Yu's Xuanyue Formation, Fan Kuai did not dare to attack rashly.
They could only watch from a distance and send fast horses to convey the news to Liu Bang's main camp in the rear.
As time passed, Fan Kuai watched helplessly as Chu troops were transported away in batches.
In the end, it seemed that only the soldiers of the Chu army were left guarding the formation.
The ferry once again approached the simple dock on the shore.
Fan Kuai saw groups of Chu troops leaving their positions and rushing towards the dock.
Don't miss this opportunity, it will never come again.
Fan Kuai shouted: "Kill" and gave the order to charge.
Five thousand Han army cavalry were like a whirlwind, killing Chu army's Xuanyue Formation.
However, as they approached, arrows were fired from behind the trench and the earthen ramparts, many of them powerful and accurate.
Two hundred gale archers and six hundred selected crossbowmen began to fire intensively at Fan Kuai's cavalry.
The arrows shot into the bodies of Han cavalry or horses with a heart-stopping whistling sound.
Because they were hit by arrows or their horses were frightened, a large number of cavalrymen fell off their horses, and many of their bodies were trampled to pieces by the iron hoofs of the horses behind them.

The Han cavalry withstood two or three waves of arrows and suffered nearly a thousand casualties before they reached the front of the trench.
Riding a horse requires crossing ditches and earthen barriers.
Following a shout-like command from the Chu army's position, countless three-meter-long halberds stretched out from behind the earthen barrier, turning the entire Xuanyue Formation into a curled-up hedgehog.
The mount of a Han cavalry had already jumped into the air.
When its front hooves stepped on the earth barrier, the blades of two halberds had already pierced the horse's body.
Because of the earth barrier, the kinetic energy of the mount was converted into potential energy and did not impact the Chu soldiers holding the halberd.
The Han soldier on horseback fell off his horse, and his head was split open on the spot by another halberd.
Some of the Han army's mounts were very clever.
When they saw the forest of halberds, they stopped their horses in a hurry.
The Han soldiers above could only fly out, fell onto the extended halberd blade, and were disemboweled.
The cavalry at the front were stopped, but the cavalry at the back could not stop their horses immediately.
Many of them bumped into the buttocks of horses in front of them, causing tragedies in which the horses were injured and others were sent flying.
Subsequently, the Han cavalry had to slow down their horses, turn around and retreat.
At this moment, the Overlord shouted loudly: "Kill" the two thousand Chu army elites in the reed swamp mounted their horses and charged.
Following the Wuzui horse, he jumped out of the formation.
The overlord roared and waved his halberd.
Wherever the black horses passed by, the Han troops fell to the ground like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, accompanied by blood flowers and the sound of broken bones and flesh.
Two thousand Chu army elite cavalry faced the Han army cavalry who had their backs exposed to them, and slaughtered them unceremoniously with Huanshou swords.
Fan Kuai's tribe quickly collapsed, and all the survivors fled away.
Fan Kuai originally wanted to organize a counterattack, but when he saw that the situation was over, he turned his horse's head and fled north.
Then his body felt the mount tremble under his crotch, and as the horse screamed, his whole body flew into the air.
It turned out that Xiang Yu behind him swung a big halberd and cut off the two legs of his mount.
Fan Kuai, who had fallen to the ground, endured the pain and wanted to get up to resist.
Xiang Yu saw that there were no infantry following him, so he could not call someone to catch him.
The Overlord, who remembered the lessons of the Hongmen Banquet, did not hesitate to swing his big halberd and cut off both of his legs half a foot above the knees.
This Fan Kuai is indeed a brave man.
In such a situation, he still wanted to make a comeback, so he used his hand to pull out the sword from his waist, hoping to cut off Wu Zui's horse's legs.
Xiang Yu snorted coldly, how could he hurt his beloved horse?
He flew out two halberds and stabbed its arms in pieces.
Fan Kuai, who had all his limbs broken, actually fainted without pain at this time and cursed loudly.
However, the overlord was no longer the same Xiang Yu as he was back then, so instead of being angered, he sneered.
He picked up Fan Kuai's belt with a big halberd, took his remains into his hands, and rode back.
The rest of the Han cavalry had already fled, leaving behind nearly three thousand corpses and wailing wounded soldiers.
The setting sun is like blood, and the last group of ferries are carrying the setting sun on their backs to the east.
There is not a single Chu soldier on the banks of the Wujiang River.
Moling was called Jinling during the Warring States Period.
Qin Shihuang was afraid that he had the spirit of an emperor, so he opened mountains and diverted water to cut off his dragon veins, and changed his name to Moling.
At present, Xiang Yu stands thirty miles south of Moling County, where Longzangpu enters the river mouth.
Longzangpu became the later famous Qinhuai River.
This place has a radius of twenty miles, and Xiang Yu has ordered military martial law.
Xiang Yu is the only one in the entire wilderness.
At this time, he brought up the system panel and prepared to build the city
