"Why? Why should this be?" Pengcheng, Bi Xuan, the general of the Chu army, had a blue muscle on his face, and looked at Qu Wan viciously after the big case, the other party was flipping through a military book, and when he saw Bi Xuan, who broke in, he raised his head and showed displeasure on his face.

"General Bi Xuan, what's wrong with you?" Putting down the military book in his hand, Qu Wan asked.

"The Tucheng army was defeated, Yu Ping and his subordinates all died in Tucheng, and none of them fled back." Bi Xuan looked at Qu Wan and said bitterly: "Yu Ping is an extremely talented general under my command, if he doesn't die, he will have a great future in the future, or he will become the most capable general of our Chu State in the next generation, but now, because of your order not to retreat, let him face the enemy army several times his size alive, and fight to the last moment, or before he died, he thought that this order was given by me."

Qu Wan's face gradually turned cold, "General Bi Xuan, you are the general of my Chu State, you should know the severity, since the Han and Chu wars, how many talented generals have died on the battlefield, do you remember Bianyang?" The general from the clan? As a commander of the army, the horse leather shroud itself is our fate, and death, as long as it is worthwhile, is enough. As for you saying that Yu Ping is very talented, I am a great Chu talent, and if one dies, there will naturally be more people to make up for it, you are no exception, and I am no exception."

Seeing the other party's cold face, Bi Xuan sat down in a gloomy manner.

"Why do you have to let him fight to the death?"

"Of course we need, we have to make the new first army of the Han State think that we are not fully prepared, and can only resist the camp step by step, to buy time for the transfer of troops to Pengcheng, and then, we will send field troops to meet them head-on, not too many people, because the Han army must know how many men and horses you have in Pengcheng, resist step by step, and defeat one by one, so that the new army can once again confirm their judgment." Qu Wandao.

"And send troops to die?" Bi Xuan asked in surprise.

"It's necessary." Qu Wan stood up, "Bi Xuan, do you know how many resources we used to win this battle this time?" The new army is inserted in Suiyang, directly threatening Pengcheng, from a strategic point of view, this is a sharp knife inserted in our hearts, Daba Mountain will not have much way for a while, but you are different here, if you don't eat the new first army, Da Chu will have trouble sleeping. In order to change our strategic passivity, we must win this battle, and if we want to win, we must make certain sacrifices."

Bi Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this time I will personally lead the team to meet the Han army."

"As a general, how can you do this kind of death-sending business, and your appearance on the battlefield won't make the Han army feel strange?" Qu Wan categorically rejected Bi Xuan's idea, "Your current position is in Pengcheng, and we will soon usher in a big war, a big war that the Han army can't imagine."

Bi Xuan said goodbye angrily, this time the battle, even at his level, he only knew that it was the central Qu Taiwei who personally planned this battle, and the main battlefield was located in Sixi, on the left side of Pengcheng, from the news that Bi Xuan himself got bits and pieces, this time not only the Chu State participated, but the Qin State also participated in it, thinking of the fact that not long ago, Zhou Yuti, the general of the Qin State, brazenly occupied Suizhou and defeated the Chu army, Bi Xuan faintly understood something.

Some time ago, the troops of the Chu State were greatly mobilized, but I am afraid that it was not for the invasion of the Qin army Zhou Yu, but for the defeat of the new army of the Han State in Suiyang. What he did before was just a supreme strategic deception, if this was the case, then this time in order to deceive the Han State, Qin Chu really put a lot of effort into it.

However, the army sent to death was built by himself, Bi Xuan was still extremely uncomfortable in his heart, thinking of Yu Ping who died in Tucheng, Bi Xuan's heart was even more annoyed.

"General Bi!" When he returned to Pengcheng's own general yamen, he saw at a glance a young general who was covered in wounds and covered with scar marks, which was the tooth general Liu An who he had sent out.

"Liu'an, are you still alive?" Bi Xuan was surprised and delighted, he received a report that Tucheng and Luliuzhuang were all breached, and no one survived the defenders, and he didn't expect Liu'an to escape alive.

"General Bi, Tucheng is over, General Yu and his subordinates are all killed, none of my 500 soldiers and hundreds of Zhuang Yong of Green Willow Villa have survived, and Zhuangzi has also been burned to ashes by the Han army." Liu An knelt down with a thud and began to cry.

Bi Xuan's heart was gloomy, "Okay, okay, you just need to come back alive."

"General, why do you do this? Why should we go on such a mortal mission, when the general did not send reinforcements." Liu An straightened up and forced his eyes to look at Bi Xuan.

Bi Xuan sighed, sat down, and looked at Liu An, "Liu An, it's good that you understand some things, this matter is not something I can decide, I might as well sue you, now in Pengcheng, there are higher-level generals in charge, and I can only act according to orders, and all the war plans are formulated by this big man. It's a great blessing that you came back alive, and someone will die in the future."

Liu An was stunned, "Big shot?"

"That's right, the big guy from Yingcheng. Liu'an, I'm glad you came back alive, this time you have proved your ability and your loyalty, now I appoint you as the general of the left army, go and rectify the left army, then we have a big battle, take your left army, and prepare to avenge your Green Willow Villa, I can sue you, this time we can definitely defeat the Han army."

"Thank you for the cultivation!" Liu An was overjoyed, and jumped from a tooth general to a general of the left army, which was a leapfrog promotion. The left army had 3,000 soldiers.

"General Bi, this time in Tucheng, we have captured the enemy's crossbow and a huge trebuchet, especially this trebuchet, is the first time to appear on the battlefield, the Han army in the transport of him, is disassembled, when the battle, can be assembled at a very fast speed, the entire structure is made of steel, the firing distance is extremely far, the farthest can reach two miles away, the wall of our Green Willow Villa, can not block its blow at all, according to my estimate, the wall of Pengcheng can not withstand it, if the opponent continues to bombard, You can definitely knock down the walls."

Bi Xuan nodded, "The armaments of the Han army have always been ahead of all countries, and it's not surprising that they have come up with any new weapons, by the way, did they use the explosives they used in Kangping City?"

"Nope!" Liuan thought for a moment, "Or maybe they don't think we're worth using explosives."

"That's good. If this kind of thing appears on the battlefield, the psychological blow to the soldier is huge. Because they've never seen anything like it." Bi Xuan exhaled softly. A simple trebuchet is not terrible, but it is more powerful."

"General, this trebuchet made of steel cannot be destroyed in a short time, the knife is constantly chopping, the fire cannot be broken, and in the storm, the damage to the city wall is huge."

Bi Xuan smiled slightly, "Now we don't need to worry about this, you go and get acquainted with the left army as much as possible. The big war is coming."

"Yes, General Bi!" Liu An kowtowed heavily, got up and said goodbye and left. A green willow villa, in exchange for a general of the left army, Liu An thinks it is worth it, the villa can be rebuilt if it is destroyed, anyway, where the temple is placed can't run. The floating wealth placed in Zhuangzi was not much, and most of it had already been transported to Pengcheng.

Just when Bi Xuan gritted his teeth and sent another force to intercept and conquer Tucheng and advance towards Pengcheng, the Han Army's vanguard of the 3rd Division and 2nd Regiment of the 1st Army, He Dongdong also arrived in Sixi.

The first regiment is the absolute main force of the three divisions, and He Dong is also Dong Zhuang's favorite general, whether in terms of staffing, combat effectiveness and equipment, He Dong's regiment is much stronger than the other two regiments, which is also the reason why Dong Zhuang sent a regiment to Sixi to meet the five thousand local guards.

He Dong's regiment and three attack battalions, plus the reconnaissance company, engineer company and other special forces directly under the regiment headquarters, the total number of zero and zero total is more than 3,000 people, which is an out-and-out large regiment. And Mao Afu's second regiment and Song Tao's third regiment are only in the early 2000s.

Sixi as a key point of the arch for Pengcheng, the stationing of 5,000 local guards cannot be said to be less, but in the eyes of the Han army, the local guards of Chu are just a piece of dim sum on a plate, because when they were in Qi, they had fought a lot of battles with the Chu army adapted from the local guards, even after nearly a year of adjustment, those Chu troops selected from the 100,000 guards were still not enough in front of the Han army, not to mention that according to the intelligence before the war, the morale of these guards was very low, and their equipment was not complete, The military salary has never been paid, and it is very common for the generals to eat empty quotas, saying that it is 5,000 guards, but I am afraid that in fact 4,000 is considered to be the top of the sky.

But when the first regiment arrived in Sixi, when it ran into the opposing guards who came to meet them, He Dong felt very surprised.

The first surprise was that these legendary guards with low morale and low combat effectiveness dared to openly attack and prepare for a field battle with the Han army, and the second surprise was that the equipment of this guard army was not bad. The array of spears, the sword and shield men behind the spear array, the archers, the bed crossbows arranged on top of the carriages, and the tight formation all showed that there was something unusual about this guard.

The opponent lined up in three phalanxes, the finished glyph stood solemnly on the field, the banner of the Chu army hunted in the wind, and the formation of thousands of people was silent, which made He Dong's heart awe-inspiring, at least from the outside, this Chu army was by no means worse than the Han army in terms of military appearance.

"Spread out and prepare to attack!" He Dong said in a deep voice.

The trumpeters standing behind him immediately raised their trumpets, and the sound of strong trumpets sounded, and after a few moments, the trumpets of the various divisions of the regiment began to sound, and it was the battalions of the regiment that indicated that they had received orders. In the midst of the military flag exhibition, the Han army quickly unfolded, and unlike the other party's glyphs, He Dong put out an inverted glyph array. (To be continued......)
