The Chu army broke in from the direction of Liu Bang's ambush. ”

"It's a pity that you can't bombard?" Li Chen said regretfully.

The Chu army has already stepped into the pocket formation with one foot, and if it is used to run and bomb at this time, it will definitely be able to severely damage the Chu army at a very small price. But it can't open artillery, now the two sides are not entangled, and now the Chu army can withdraw from the battlefield at any time. And once the two armies are entangled in battle, they will hurt their own people by firing artillery casually.

The Chu army was getting closer and closer, and the distance between the two sides was now less than a mile, and the soldiers on the battlefield could even feel the dust brought by the hooves of the Chu army's horses.

"The Qin camp is in front, the cavalry rushes to the camp, and the infantry encircles the Qin army besieging the city."

The big camp was already in front of him, and under the command of Zhong Liyi, the Chu army divided its troops to attack. The cavalry led by Zhong Liwu was responsible for burning grain and capturing Li Chen, while the infantry under Zhang Liang's command was tasked with blocking the returning Qin army.

More than 5,000 cavalry of the Chu army rushed into the Qin army camp, although the main force of the Qin army was attacking the city, but the defense in this camp was also lax, which made Zhong Liwu inevitably muttered in his heart.

The big tent of the Chinese army, empty.

Granary, empty.

They went to the two most important places in the camp one after another, but they were empty. Xiahou Ying knew in her heart that this was an empty camp.

I'm afraid, I've been tricked.

"Chirp, tweet, tweet."

Zhong Liwu stayed on the horse and sniffed the peculiar smell in the air, a bit like the smell of fire oil. Just as Zhong Limo hesitated, all that caught his eyes was rockets like a meteor shower.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Before Li Chen withdrew, he buried gunpowder in the ground of the barracks, and the camp tents in the army were also poured with fire oil early. By the time Zhong Liwu reacted, there was already a rumbling explosion in the camp.

"Oops, I'm in the middle of the trick."

Zhang Liang, who had been paying attention to the battlefields on both sides, couldn't help but let out an angry roar in his heart. He had already guessed that Liu Bang must have sold him.

Suddenly, when the explosion in the Qin army camp sounded, Liu Bang's ambush soldiers also followed closely and killed him. Although Liu Bang's soldiers are uneven, they can't stand the crowd. There are 50,000 or 60,000 people in the dark area.

At this time, the two sides of the city wall staged no longer fought, and began to cover the Chu infantry led by Zhang Liang.

The explosion in the Qin army camp was not very lethal to the cavalry of the Chu army, after all, the explosives were buried in the ground and had limited lethality. More of the Chu cavalry died under the hooves of their own horses, and the violent explosions frightened the horses, while the Chu cavalry did not have stirrups and saddles. In the explosion, many cavalrymen were thrown to the ground by their horses because they could not stop their horses, and were trampled to death by the chaotic herd.

After an explosion, the smoke and dust dissipated. The 5,000 cavalry of the Chu army were already less than 2,000 people still on horseback, and Zhong Liyi's riding skills were superb and lucky, so he didn't die in the explosion.

In addition to Xiang Yu's three hundred personal soldiers, these five thousand cavalry are already all the cavalry of Xiang Yu's group. Xiang Yu had already taken the initiative on the battlefield of the lower minister, and in order to annihilate Li Chen, the old enemy, Xiang Yu sent all his cavalry. But now that the battle has not yet been fought, the cavalry was broken in half after an explosion, which really made Zhong Limo ashamed.

"Kill, kill, kill."

"Capture Li Chen alive."

Zhong Liwu had already seen the Li Zi Shuai Qi in the army, and he commanded his cavalry to start accelerating in the direction of the Shuai Qi. More than 2,000 cavalry charged together, the neighing of people, the sound of horses' hooves, this momentum is really a little frightening.

At this time, there were only about 5,000 soldiers in front of Li Chen, which was more than half of Zhong Liwu's cavalry. If it is other troops, the infantry is not sure that even if it is two to one, the cavalry is not sure. But this is the Shenwu Army, and there are Mo Dao soldiers in the Shenwu Army who can be called cavalry killers.

Seeing that Zhong Li's cavalry was already about to attack Li Chen's military formation, the sword and shield soldiers in front of the military formation suddenly made way of a few passages, and out of the passage came a heavily armored Mo sword soldier.

"Cavalry, your father is here."

The power of the Mo sword soldiers Zhong Liwu had seen it when Bolangsha assassinated the First Emperor, but the cavalry charge relied on a momentum. The arrow had to be sent on the string, and now it has rushed to the front of the people's formation, where is there a chance to turn back.

Zhong Limu clenched the weapon in his hand, his eyes widened like an old cow, and he gritted his teeth and instructed the soldiers to avoid the Mo Dao soldiers as much as possible, and rushed towards the military formation.

It's just that the frontal battlefield is so big, and the impact of the cavalry relies on a courageous momentum. Although Zhong Liwu commanded the cavalry to avoid the frontal impact of the Mo sword soldiers, the strength of the cavalry under him was also discharged. As soon as the cavalry's strength is discharged, there is no way to chisel through the Qin army's military formation, and once they are entangled in bedding, the cavalry is simply heavier than the Mo sword soldiers in heavy armor. Zhong Liwu was still panicked after all, and his erroneous command led more than 2,000 cavalry into an extremely dangerous situation.

"Wind, wind, wind."

"Kill, kill, kill."

"Hiss, hiss, hiss."

"Ahh

The battlefield was full of the roars of people and the neighing of horses. The adrenaline of the soldiers was rushing, the smell of male hormones was emanating, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in iron and blood.

"General, let's go."

"Let's go."

Under the knife, everyone is broken. Mo Dao soldiers fighting cavalry is like Lao Tzu beating his son, and the cavalry has no power to fight back at all. Under the desperate protection of his subordinates, Zhong Liwu fled in the direction of Zhang Liang with more than ten personal soldiers in embarrassment.

Now Zhang Liang is also a little too busy to take care of himself, he commands an army formation composed of more than 20,000 infantry, and has just resisted the two-sided attack of Li Chen and Liu Bang, but the news of the annihilation of the cavalry led by Zhong Lifu has made the morale of the entire army low.

War is like a spring, if you are weak, he will be strong.

The Chu army was tied down because of low morale, but Liu Bang's soldiers were good at fighting against the wind, and if Liu Bang's subordinates could only exert 60 percent of their strength against the wind, then they could use 12 percent of their strength in the wind battle. Where can Liu Bang give up this opportunity to beat the water dogs, Liu Bang is also a ruthless man, in order to boost morale, he took the lead in charging with a bronze sword. There are too many factors affecting the war, and Liu Bang's morale boost is only one of them, in short, the Chu army has begun to retreat on the battlefield.

Li Chen also understood the meaning of the phrase "defeated like a mountain" at this time.

People have the instinct to be powerful, there are enemies on the left and right, although they know that there is a big river blocking the way on the side where there is no enemy, but the Chu army still subconsciously retreats in the direction of the big river.

Soon the Chu army evacuated to the side of the big river, this season is the rainy season, the water flow is very turbulent, not to mention, there are still a lot of undercurrents in the river, there are no boats to cross the river, going into the water can only be a dead end.

The big river in front of him was like a giant dragon blocking the road, completely blocking the back road of the Chu army. However, the defensive pressure of the Chu army, which was backed by the river, was also relaxed, and the Chu army, which had no way to retreat under the command of Zhang Liang, blocked the army in front.

"A battle against the water, or a shipwreck."

"It's a pity that I won't give you Zhang Liang this opportunity."

Li Chen looked at Zhang Liang and Chu Jun who were forced to the river, and thought so.

"Open the cannons, and smash all the shells in the battalion at me."

Li Chen yelled.

(ps: Asking for votes, begging for subscriptions, Zhang Liang is finally dead, and the next one is Xiang Yu who is angry and comes to give away people's heads.) ）
