Chapter 9 Different Paths to the Same End Ninety Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Chu

"General! Fan Daren and General Yu Ziqi are here! Sima of the Chinese army hurriedly entered the account to report.

Xiang Yu was about to get up to greet him, when Fan Zeng and Yu Ziqi had already strode in. Yu Zi period and Ji Bu, Zhong Liwu, Huang Bu, Long and the same name, and known as the Chu Army Five Tiger Generals. However, Yu Zi is different from the other four, because his relationship with the Xiang family is extraordinary, not only Xiang Liang treats him as his own, Xiang Yu is also a brother of the opposite sex with him, and after Yu Zi Qi matching, Xiang Yu and his sister Yu Miaoyi have a good impression of each other and become husband and wife.

"Father! Brother of the child! Xiang Yu hurriedly walked out of the handsome case and greeted him with his fists.

"Not long ago, Song Yi returned to Jiangdong, and the old man was afraid that something would happen to the king, so he immediately organized an army of 100,000 troops, and crossed the river with the general of the sub-period to meet him, but he was still a step late......" Fan Zeng shook his head with a sigh, and was choked up for a while and couldn't speak anymore.

"Destiny dictates, and the Father doesn't have to be too sad." Xiang Yu whispered a word of comfort.

At this moment, the scout Pegasus reported: "General, the Zhao army is 200,000, and it is less than 300 miles away!" ”

"Got it." Xiang Yu waved his hand to retreat from the scout, and then raised his head and said, "I have gathered 50,000 defeated troops, plus the reinforcements of my father and son, a total of 158,000 troops, which is enough to resist the Zhao army!" Xiang Yu's eyes faintly revealed a murderous aura.

"My military camp is facing the river, which can be described as a Jedi! Today, the Zhao army came with a great victory, and the momentum was huge! I don't know how the general broke the enemy? Yu Ziqi asked worriedly.

Xiang Yu turned around after hearing this, and suddenly shouted: "Where is the military commander?" ”

"In!" The military commander on the side, Sima, hurriedly handed over his hand and waited.

"Order the whole army, scuttle all the ferries on the riverbank, break the cauldron and burn the house, and the whole army only holds three days of dry food, and follow me to meet the Zhao army!" Xiang Yu gave a combat order sharply.

"This ......" the military commander Sima raised his head in disbelief and looked at Fan Zeng as if asking for help.

"The general's military order is clear, and you act according to the military order, what do you want me to do?" Fan Zeng didn't look at the military commander Sima, but just said with an expressionless face.

"No." Although the military commander Sima had many doubts in his heart, he still left the account and passed the order.

After the military ordered Sima to leave, Yu Ziqi couldn't help but ask again: "The general has broken the cauldron and sunk the boat to retreat, in case the war is unfavorable to me, wouldn't it be ......?"

"The general of the sub-period is poor, "Sun Tzu" cloud: Cast into the place of death and then survive, fall into the place of death and then live! Now the army of Zhao is rumbling and coming, our army is facing the river, and we are in a dilemma, only by retreating can we inspire the soldiers to fight to the death, and only this method can get a glimmer of life! Fan Zeng nodded approvingly and looked at Xiang Yu, he didn't expect that Xiang Yu, a martial artist, would come up with such a brilliant idea, it seemed that he had indeed underestimated him before.

By the time Xiang Yu walked out of the camp, the various units of the Chu army had already been packed up and consciously assembled on the riverside.

Xiang Yu then boarded a boulder on the shore accompanied by Fan Zeng and Yu Ziqi, only to see Xiang Yu raise the halberd "ghost god" in his hand, and shouted impassionedly to the surrounding soldiers: "All Chu army soldiers! In the battle of Yingshou, the king was unfortunately killed, and the Zhao army attacked with victory, trying to sweep away Jiangdong! However, today, Xiang Yu is determined to break the cauldron and lead all the monarchs to fight against the enemy in a bloody battle, and the shame of the past is snowed! In this battle, the Chu army has advanced and retreated, and the Zhao army is undefeated, and I swear not to return to Jiangdong! ”

"Bloody battle against Zhao Jun! There is no advance or retreat! Chu Ying suddenly roared like thunder, and the momentum shook the sky.

"All the troops are attacking!" Looking at the flames that were still burning not far away, Xiang Yu strode down the boulder and flew onto the unparalleled black horse......

Not long ago, although the vanguard of the Zhao army had just suffered a setback in Pengcheng, after all, the main force was not damaged, and it was still in full swing at this time. Therefore, everyone, including Zhao Kuo, did not expect that Xiang Yu would come so quickly this time, and the Zhao army had just set up camp, and the Chu army had already killed in front of him like a tide. In the face of the sudden attack, Rao is Zhao army had strict military laws, and for a time it was also chaotic, so they could only fight on their own.

After a whole hour of melee, Zhao Jun finally gradually eased his breath and began to move closer to Zhao Kuo's Chinese army Daxu one after another. It was another fierce battle for more than an hour, and seeing that the dusk had passed, Xiang Yu ordered to stop the attack, and the whole army retreated ten miles, and then fought a decisive battle the next day.

"Xiang Yu, damn it!" Looking at the messy scene of the camp, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but slam his helmet to the ground, and blamed himself for being too careless, and he didn't even notice the news of the Chu army's increase of 100,000 troops.

It didn't take long for the casualty statistics of the various departments to be sent to the shogunate of the Chinese army one after another, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but be surprised after seeing it, today's battle Zhao army actually killed and wounded 30,000 elites, which Zhao Kuo had never encountered in his decades of military career: "Xiang Yu will come to fight tomorrow!" Decree all departments to immediately reorganize their armaments, and not to slack off in the slightest! ”

"No!" The generals took the orders and left.

Sure enough, as soon as the sky was bright on the second day, Xiang Yu led the army to appear outside the Zhao army's camp. This time, the Zhao army was fully prepared, and the two armies fought a bloody battle for a day, each losing tens of thousands of soldiers, but no one got a bargain.

"Childe, with such a method of warfare, even if you win in the end, the casualties will be too heavy! Xiang Yu is brave and resourceful, and he came with a heart of revenge, so he naturally became unstoppable! Our army should avoid its sharp edge and must not blindly fight and kill fiercely. After returning to the camp after the battle, Ji Xue couldn't help but persuade Zhao Kuo.

"What's the best plan for Sister Xue?" Zhao Kuo took off his helmet and gently patted the dust off it.

"Xiang Yu will come again tomorrow, I only need to close the door, if the Chu army dares to attack the village, then use a large array of bows and crossbows to repel it. When its troops are slightly weakened and the food and grass are insufficient, they can fight a decisive battle. Ji Xue said without hesitation.

"Then let's do what we do." Ji Xue's words made Zhao Kuo calm down instantly.

The next day, the gate of the Zhao army's camp was closed, and no matter how the Chu army challenged, it could only not be defended. Xiang Yu was annoyed and angry, and ordered a fierce attack on the Zhao camp, but as soon as the Chu army approached the camp, the Zhao army was a flurry of arrows, and the Chu army suffered heavy casualties, but it still couldn't get close to the Zhao camp for half a step. After a day, all the soldiers and soldiers of Chu were exhausted, and what was even worse was that the three-day dry food they carried when they set off was the last day today.

After thinking for a long time but having no good plan, Xiang Yu walked back and forth in the military tent anxiously: "Tomorrow, our army will run out of food, I don't know if Yafu has a strategy to break the enemy?" After shouting and scolding in front of the battle for a whole day, Xiang Yu's voice was a little hoarse.

Fan Zeng's eyes locked, and suddenly he thought about it, he immediately whispered to Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu couldn't help but nod again and again.

Soon, the news of the food shortage spread in the Chu camp, and many soldiers chose to flee. Facing the thousands of Chu army fugitives who flocked to the Zhao army's camp, Zhao Kuo was worried.

"The scout's secret report, the Chu army's food supply is true, and the general doesn't need to hesitate." Seeing that Zhao Kuo was still hesitating, the deputy general Li You hurriedly persuaded him, "There are many brave men in the Chu army, if they are all turned away, they will have no way out, and they will definitely flee back to Jiangdong again, which can be described as endless troubles!" ”

"What General Li said is extremely true, please make a decision quickly!" Strategist Chen Yu also persuaded him.

Zhao Kuo glanced around the tent again, and saw that all the generals meant this, so he nodded slightly and reluctantly agreed......

The night was peaceful, and when it was dawn, the commander of the scout battalion suddenly came in a hurry to report: the Chu camp was empty, and Xiang Yu was afraid that he had withdrawn his troops overnight and fled across the river.

"How can it be!" Zhao Kuo had also heard about the Chu army's destruction of the cauldron and sinking the boat, and Xiang Yu had never been strategic, so Zhao Kuo did not believe that there was fraud in it, and he immediately ordered the three armies to pursue it with all their might, and Xiang Yu could not be allowed to escape back to Jiangdong.

But this time it was Zhao Kuo's miscalculation, the Zhao army was ambushed by the heavy troops of the Chu army on the way, and just as the Zhao army was about to retreat, someone suddenly shouted: "Zhao Kuo is dead by an arrow!" Run! ”

Immediately after, the soldiers of the Chu State who had surrendered before also shouted in unison in the Zhao army's array: "The Zhao army is defeated, run!" ”

The sergeants didn't know the truth, but they only heard the shouts of "Zhao's army is defeated" everywhere. For a while, the army was in turmoil, Xiang Yu took advantage of the situation to cover up the army, and after only half an hour, the Zhao army was defeated on all fronts.

The defeat was like a mountain, and seeing that the general trend had gone, Zhao Kuo had no choice but to take Ji Xue and hundreds of guards all the way out of the siege and retreat to the north. The Chu army then launched a full-scale counteroffensive, recapturing Pengcheng, an important town in northern Huaibei, in just a few days.

"The old man Rongma has never tasted defeat in his life, and he doesn't want to be defeated by the hands of the horseman today! Amusing! Alas! Looking at the only dozens of remnants around him, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but burst into tears.

Ji Xue hurriedly raised her hand and gently wiped the blood from Zhao Kuo's face, and comforted: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the son doesn't have to mind." ”

"This plan is not something that Xiang Yu can come up with! Xue Mei, but when she returned to Handan, she immediately found out who Xiang Yu was behind the scenes! Zhao Kuo closed his eyes unwillingly and said angrily.

"Report! General, Xiang Yu has taken the throne in Pengcheng! Claiming...... Self-proclaimed Chu Overlord! As he spoke, he rode a pegasus to report.

"Birds! Mu monkey and crown, vertical son king! Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing.
