428 Four Side Chu Swansong (1/2)

On the huge battlefield, only three hundred thousand troops remained.

In Xiang Yu's tent, the various princes and lords had gathered once again.

”General Xiang, what should we do now?”

Xiang Yu sat in the commander seat. He kept silent and did not speak a word. Fan Zeng sat at the side; his eyebrows tightly locked.

The experience of being captured made Fan Zeng really sensitive. He felt that the eyes of the lords and princes looked at him with contempt and mocking.

In truth, why would they think that?

After a long while, one of the princes carefully said, “Why don’t we surrender?”

The air in the entire tent instantly froze like they had touched upon some kind of forbidden curse.

”Bastard!”

Xiang Yu raged. He slammed his palm onto the table, which caused the wine on it to fly everywhere.

”Even if I die fighting, I won't surrender to those Qin thieves.”

Xiang Yu hollered; filled with arrogance.

All of the lords and princes froze. When they thought about his skills on the battlefield, their timid faces had already turneed ashen white.

”Whoever dares to surrender, I'll kill them.”

Xiang Yu looked around; his eyes filled with killing intent.

Total silence.

The moment a king grew furious, blood would flow.

Even so, that would not stop the lords and princes from making their own plans.

They were not fools and would not act as hot blooded as Xiang Yu.

At the start of the uprising, their main goal was naturally to overturn the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty. When they gained power, their goal had changed to gaining more interests for themselves.

Seeing that there were no hopes of victory, their desires died out.

Their blood was warm but their hearts cold.

Although they displayed submission to Xiang Yu, in their hearts, they had already made their decisions.

Rather than wait and die, why not try to live?

In the end, this meeting ended unhappily as all of them could not reach a common consensus.

The moment they left, Xiang Yu was so furious he smashed the wine cups.

”A bunch of bastards!”

Fan Zeng sat at the side and coldly said, “General, did you see that?”

Xiang Yu did not reply, as his face slowly blackened.

”Their eyes already show the intention to back off. Without the Qin Army forcing them, they would have already surrendered.”

Fan Zeng's voice contained an indescribable sadness and disappointment.

Xiang Yu still did not say anything. His gaze toward Fan Zeng was ice cold.

The entire tent had an awkward atmosphere.

When Fan Zeng saw such a response, his embarrassment turned into anger, so he walked off.

After numerous days, the various troops could not hold on any longer and surrendered.

The grain in the camp could not last for even one more day. If they did not surrender, they were going to starve to death.

Even if they did not starve, how would a bunch of hungry soldiers survive against the Qin Army’s attack? Rather than wait for that, why not just surrender?

Relying solely on tens of thousands of troops, they could suppress two hundred thousand odd soldiers from the princes and lords. Xiang Yu's threats were just empty words. In front of a huge army, an individual's strength was nothing.

No matter how vicious he was, he could not lead the Chu Army to attack the princes and the lords.

Their surrender instead made the Qin Dynasty players unhappy. They wanted to use the last battle to obtain another bunch of battle contribution points.

Because of the battle map settings, the moment the NPCs surrendered, players could not kill them.

The army that surrendered were all handed over to Zhang Han to keep watch.

The lords could only scold out at the princes for being soft and weak.

How smart was Gaia? The moment the outcome was decided, it would not give the players chances to obtain easy rewards. The Battle of Changping had followed a similar ruleset.

The surrender of the Zhao Army signalled the end of the war. It did not give the players a chance to kill the prisoners.

After the various princes surrendered, even the Chu Army could not hold on anymore.

This army was mostly made up of troops taken from Song Yi; they were not his own army. Hence, at such a moment, they really did not want to listen to him.

As for his personal army, he only had the three thousand Jiangdong Warriors. However, after the numerous clashes, only two thousand remained.

What Xiang Yu found unacceptable was that along with the players leaving, the generals in his tent all left one by one to follow their new lords.

Ying Bu, Long Qie, Ji Bu, and Zhong Limei, all four of them left. Along with them, the last player army also left.

Of the entire uprising army, only Xiang Yu and his two thousand Jiangdong Warriors remained.

Betrayal.

In the end, even Fan Zeng left Xiang Yu.

To save Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu even gave up their last chance at victory.

Ironically, even Fan Zeng left him in the end.

People were complicated and hard to predict.

He was besieged on all sides.

Quite ironically, the famous four side Chu Song would not actually happen right here.

The overlord Xiang Yu was on his last leg.

This was the final battle.

Xiang Yu definitely would not surrender.
