Chapter 241: Another Meaning

Knock~knock~

Bang bang~!

When the Qin army attacked, the sword face slapped on the shield, and a clear collision sound was heard.

Zhang Han's army, which was struggling to resist, heard the neat and imposing knocking sound, and instantly perked up.

"It's reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements are coming!"

One by one, the already timid and desperate soldiers let out excited shouts.

Although I can't see how many reinforcements there are, from the horizontal point of view of the military formation, I am afraid that it will not be less than 100,000 troops!

The sudden arrival of the Qin army made the hearts of the Chu soldiers who were struggling to fight uneasy.

If Yingbu led an army of 20,000 from the flank before, he would have caught the Qin army off guard.

Then these Qin troops who suddenly appeared on the flank of the Chu army also caught Xiang Yu off guard!

Moreover, the Qin soldiers who suddenly appeared were overwhelming, and judging from the form of the military formation, there was no intention of cutting the Chu army at all.

Instead, it is surrounded by a large number of people!

Once contacted, the Chu army will be surrounded from the flanks!

Long He sat on his war horse, glanced at it, and shouted eagerly: "General, the Qin army wants to surround us, quickly retreat!" ”

The reinforcements that suddenly appeared from the flanks caused confusion in the Chu army.

Originally, with the intention of dying in a broken cauldron and sinking the boat, he suppressed the Qin army, which was overwhelming.

Who would have thought that the other party would have a large army to hide.

Even more annoying, it actually appeared on the flank.

Seeing that he was about to be surrounded and in a situation where he was being attacked on his back, no one could help but be a little flustered.

The morale is damaged, the soldiers are physically exhausted, and they will definitely be defeated when they are attacked by the enemy!

Even the general Long He sat on his war horse, his eyes scanned, and he also shouted eagerly: "General, the Qin army wants to surround us, quickly retreat!" ”

"Withdraw, do you think the Qin army will give us a chance?!"

Xiang Yu's face was gloomy, and there was anger in his eyes: "Chen Yu, that waste, why didn't he be able to contain Qin Jun!?" ”

He didn't understand, wasn't this local garrison besieging Julu City?

How could it suddenly appear here!

Aren't you afraid of giving Zhao Wang Xie a chance to be attacked from behind?

Even if Zhao Wangxie, Chen Yu and the others didn't dare to sneak attack, would they just let them escape from the city?

The current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Chu army!

The appearance of this local army completely disrupted the previous plan!

If the Qin army is defeated, he will definitely not let go of the great opportunity to pursue.

Similarly, will the Qin army give them a chance to retreat now?

After the cauldron was broken, the Chu army fought with the heart of death, and indeed repelled Zhang Han's 400,000 army.

But he was also a lost soldier, and the soldiers were already tired.

Among them, there is also the factor of the British and Bu raids on the flanks to disrupt the enemy's position.

Now that the 100,000 army is fighting from the flanks, it is no longer a matter of being brave enough to resist it.

Under the front and back attacks, there is no doubt about defeat!

Although Xiang Yu was impulsive and had a violent temper, he also knew the truth of being invincible when enemy reinforcements were coming and he was about to be besieged.

It's not that I don't want to retreat, it's that I don't dare to retreat!

The back road has been cut off, and the lack of food after three days alone will collapse tens of thousands of troops!

Yu Ziqi killed a Qin soldier, leaned in front and shouted, "Swear to live and die with the general!" ”

Xiang Yu's face was moved, and his tiger eyes were full of emotion.

"Swear to live and die with the general!"

"Swear to live and die with the general!"

Suddenly, a shout of death sounded in the Chu army!

From the beginning of the scuttling of the ship, the officers and soldiers of the Chu army were already mentally prepared to die in battle.

In a shout, the Chu army regained its strength and took the initiative to meet the Qin army on the flank.

At the same time, Xiang Yu also charged bravely like crazy!

I fought my way out and joined up with Yingbu's men and horses!

However, at this time, the Chu army also began to get tired.

Xiang Yu's heart continued to sink, and he wiped the blood stains off his face, his eyes showed a fierce look, and he raised his sword to continue fighting.

suddenly

Woo~!

The long sound of trumpets entered the battlefield, and the Qin army began to retreat.

If the Qin army wanted to retreat before, the Chu army would inevitably take advantage of the situation to chase and kill.

But now that the front army has retreated from the front and flank, the Chu army will not dare to pursue it anymore.

No matter which side is pursued, the other side will be surrounded by a counterattack.

At that time, even if you break out of the encirclement, I'm afraid there will be few soldiers and horses left!

Now that the Qin army has taken the initiative to retreat, it is already the best ending.

Xiang Yu also hurriedly ordered: "Collect the troops and retreat!" ”

Immediately, Long Ji and other generals led the Chu army to begin to retreat.

Although this battle failed to achieve the expected goal of winning or losing the first battle, it could only retreat and repair at this moment.

Anyway, with three days of military rations, you can fight again!

Xiang Yu looked at the retreating local army and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The enemies hidden in the shadows are the most terrifying.

Now that this local army has appeared, it can be redeployed next time and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

Especially when 100,000 vs. 400,000 had the upper hand, which greatly increased Xiang Yu's confidence.

The next time you are prepared, you will definitely be able to defeat these Qin troops in one fell swoop!

……

In the middle of the Lishan prisoner army and the local defenders, Zhang Han and Shima gathered together.

Zhang Han held an edict stamped with the emperor's seal in his hand, and his face was extremely solemn.

This edict was sent by someone from Shima.

According to the order of the edict, the Chu army was not allowed to pursue after retreating, as long as the two armies were kept facing each other and waited for the next order.

Therefore, when Zhang Han saw the Chu army retreating, he ordered to blow the horn and withdraw the troops.

If Shiruma didn't pursue, he really didn't dare to pursue alone.

After all, if it hadn't been for the appearance of the local army before, he would have been defeated!

After expressing his gratitude, Zhang Han asked suspiciously: "General Shima, why did Gongzi order to stop the pursuit?" ”

Shiruma raised his head and said proudly: "Childe is sympathetic to the soldiers, and he doesn't want to increase casualties in vain!" ”

Then he smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes!" ”

Zhang Han and Sima Xin glanced at each other, and their faces were even more confused.

This time gave the Chu army a chance to breathe, and in the next decisive battle, the casualties of the Qin army may be even greater!

It's just that the order came from Xianyang, and they didn't dare to ask more.

Shiruma thought about it and felt that he still needed to explain something to them.

He said: "According to the news from Xianyang, the general led the army all the way south from Shangdang County to quell the rebellion, and several counties have been recovered!"

The nests of the so-called princes and kings on the other side have all been served, but they don't know it!

The general went all the way south, and in two days he would reach the opposite bank and block the 100,000 anti-thief coalition troops on the river bank and annihilate them in one fell swoop! ”

"What?" Zhang Han and Sima Xin's eyes widened in surprise, they couldn't believe how the general Li Jing could calm the thieves so quickly.

Although the rebels are all outcasts, they occupy the county town, and it is not so simple to defeat them.

It's a pity that they wouldn't have been so surprised if they had known about the coordination of the repeater and the explosives.

Zhang Han touched his beard and asked suspiciously: "It is rumored that Han Xin of Wei is a genius in soldiers, and the general can really go all the way south?" ”
