"The thieves are out again!"

Seeing that the Han army sent troops from the east gate of the camp again, the purpose of this operation was to force the Han army to fight a decisive battle Xiang Zhuang, the commander-in-chief of the Chuji coalition army, of course, he was overjoyed immediately, but Xiang Zhuang remembered Han Xin's reminder, and did not immediately send the army to the camp to fight next to the camp that was beneficial to the Han army, and chose to wait patiently for the Han army to complete the camp assembly as just now, and take the initiative to march east to reinforce the Yan army camp battlefield, which was already in full swing.

During this period, although Han Xin, who had already seen through Uncle Zhou's intentions, knew that it was inappropriate to do so, he had no way to solve it, so he could only temporarily give up interfering with Xiang Zhuang's command and let Xiang Zhuang decide for himself, and at the same time nervously calculated countermeasures, thinking hard about how to crack Uncle Zhou's clumsy tactics.

As Han Xin expected, after the second batch of Han troops approached the Yan army camp, although they immediately launched an attack on the Western Chu army that was besieging the first batch of Han troops, when Xiang Zhuang sent 10,000 troops north to reinforce again, the second batch of Han troops out of the camp immediately urgently changed the formation into the strongest defensive circle, and took a defensive position to deal with the incoming enemy.

In this way, the 20,000 Han troops dispatched in two batches directly contained the 20,000 Western Chu troops, as well as some of the Jibei troops that were attacking the Yan army camp.

Immediately afterwards, the east gate of the Han army camp was opened again, and another Han army rushed out and quickly assembled an army outside the camp. As a result, seeing such a situation, even Xiang Zhuang, who lacked experience in taking charge alone, saw that something was wrong, and said in surprise: "What are the thieves doing?" How did you send troops out of the camp little by little? What kind of play is this? ”

"The thieves are forcing us to fight for consumption." Han Xin finally spoke, and said with a gloomy face: "Uncle Zhou sends 10,000 troops out of the camp every time, the purpose is to lure us to continue to send troops to meet the attack, and then take a defensive position in a circular formation, dragging us roughly equal or even more troops, and when the army of our main battle formation is almost contained, he can take advantage of the opportunity that we have left the army to guard the camp and the local forces are at a disadvantage, or send heavy troops to directly attack our flag formation, and win the victory with one blow, or surprise the local battlefield one by one, Accumulate a lot and defeat us completely. ”

"And this way of playing?" Xiang Zhuang was dumbfounded.

"Shameless horseman!" Liu Laosan groaned in pain and said, "These shameless thieves, why do they only fight a war of attrition as soon as they run into us?" ”

"I can't let Uncle Zhou get his wish." Han Xin said again: "If we let him fight like this again, we will suffer a big loss sooner or later, so we can only gamble." ”

"How to bet?" Xiang Zhuang hurriedly asked, and Han Xin also hurriedly whispered his tactics and intentions......

According to Han Xin's tactical adjustment, the Western Chu army did not give the third formation of the Han army a chance to approach the first two formations this time, and dispatched troops of the same strength early to block the eastern approach of the third formation of the Han army, and then the third formation of the Han army also urgently changed the circle formation and entangled the Western Chu army on the opposite side again. Then the gate of the Han army's east camp was immediately opened, and the fourth formation of the Han army began to rush out of the camp to assemble.

"Kill!"

When the flag was waved, another 10,000 Western Chu troops charged forward in the northwest direction, directly killing the fourth formation of the Han army during the camp, and refused to give the fourth formation of the Han army a chance to camp easily, Uncle Zhou saw the laughter in the Han army camp, and immediately ordered one after another, and sent another 20,000 troops in one breath, and at the same time camped from the north and south directions of the Han army camp, and continued to invest troops outside the camp in units of 10,000 people.

During this period, the Western Chu army adjusted its tactics again, and more than 100 chariots that were already on the verge of elimination marched eastward and concentrated in the south, lined up to the south of the first formation of the Han army, and immediately charged in clusters after the preparation was perfected, and attacked the Han army's round formation with the most primitive chariot breaking tactics, intending to use the chariots to break up the Han army's battle formation and get the opportunity to completely defeat the Han army's round formation.

The soldiers of the Western Chu Army, who were besieging the Han army, hurriedly scattered on both sides, making way for the chariots to rush into battle, but the roar of the Han army's circle was continuous, "Hold your ground!" Hold your ground! Palm Thunder ready! Cast in three rounds! ”

This is also the first time that the Han army used the infantry to respond to the impact of the enemy's chariots with primitive grenades, and the result was also good, although the convoy of the Western Chu army did not get the opportunity to throw primitive grenades to disrupt the enemy's war horses until they rushed within fifty steps, and the space that could be created to disrupt the enemy was very small, but when the primitive grenades were thrown into the vehicle group one after another, the frightened war horses still lost control, either people stopped standing, or they collided uncontrollably, seriously disturbing the shape of the Western Chu army's chariot convoy, As a result, the convoy of the Western Chu army was unable to crash into the crowd of Han troops in a cluster, and the power of the charge and assault was greatly reduced.

But this can only be done, in the continuous grenade explosion, there are still more than 20 chariots rushed into the crowd of the Han army, killing and injuring many Han soldiers, resulting in chaos in the queue of the Han army, the soldiers of the Western Chu army on both sides saw the opportunity, and immediately shouted to charge and kill, and never gave the Han army a chance to re-form a dense circle formation, Xiang Zhuang and Liu Laosan and others in the distance also applauded together, knowing that the army still has a chance to win today's decisive battle.

The intensity of the battlefield has also risen sharply, in order to defeat the first round formation of the Han army as soon as possible to form a chain reaction, the soldiers of the Chuji coalition army attacked the first formation of the Han army from all directions, and the spear halberd and sword Ge were frantically slashing at the first formation of the Han army every minute and every second, killing the soldiers of the Han army and constantly retreating, and the position space was compressed by more than half. At the same time, another 20,000 Western Chu troops rushed forward and once again stopped the Han army that was camping from the north and south gates, buying time for the friendly army to completely defeat the first formation of the Han army.

However, correspondingly, after the continuous division of troops to meet the battle, Xiang Zhuang only had about 30,000 reserves of the Western Chu Army available, and the Jibei Army, which was attacking the Yan army camp, also only had more than 10,000 reserves that could impulse mobile troops, while in the Han army camp, the reserves were as high as 60,000 people!

In such a situation, whether the first formation of the Han army can be defeated as soon as possible has of course become the key to the victory of the Chuji coalition army, if the Chuji coalition army can successfully defeat the first formation of the Han army before the Han army makes new adjustments, then the battle can immediately free up hands to reinforce the second battlefield, like a snowball of gradual accumulation of victories, and once the Chuji coalition army can not do this, the first formation of the Han army gritted its teeth and carried it, then needless to say, just by attrition, the Han army can leave 30,000 troops to defend the Chuji coalition army to collapse.

In Han Xin's imagination, the position where Uncle Zhou is most likely to take action is, of course, the only one that has not been affected by the enemy's Han army camp West Gate, from here to send troops to other battlefields, forming a local force advantage to reverse the situation, but Uncle Zhou's choice once again exceeded Han Xin's expectations, in the fierce battle with thunderous killings, the Han army actually forcibly sent a support army out of the camp from the east gate, and directly joined the East Gate battlefield that was blocked by the West Chu army.

Needless to say, this army is, of course, the ace of infantry in the hands of Uncle Zhou, although the number of Han army heavy armor soldiers is small, but after suddenly appearing on the battlefield, it immediately became a sharp knife that stabbed the enemy's heart, and it was almost invulnerable, and the steel knife and steel gun in his hand were extremely sharp, and he could easily and directly stab through the thin leather armor of the soldiers of the Western Chu Army, like five hundred humanoid tanks, rampage on the battlefield, invincible, and the soldiers of the Han army also followed behind the heavy armor soldiers and slashed and killed, quickly opened the position space, the Han army crowd blocked at the camp gate was released, and quickly launched a counteroffensive, and soon killed the Western Chu army that surrounded the east gate and retreated again and again, quickly revealing defeat.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Zhuang was also anxiously red-eyed, and hurriedly shouted to Ji Bu next to him: "Ji Bu, immediately bring 10,000 troops to suppress the Han thieves outside the east gate for me!" ”

"Zuo Sima, if I go up again, your troops here will be even thinner." Ji Bu sneered and said, "If the Han thieves send troops from the West Gate and directly attack our banner array, how will you deal with it?" ”

"You don't have to worry about that!" Xiang Zhuang shouted with red eyes: "Execute the order immediately, otherwise the military law will be engaged!" ”

After snorting coldly, Ji Bu symbolically arched his hand, strode down to lead the army to attack, and then Xiang Zhuang immediately turned to Liu Laosan and ordered: "Pei Gong, the west gate of the Han thief camp, it's up to you, give you 10,000 troops, no matter what, block the road for the Han thieves to leave the camp, and buy time for us to defeat the first formation of the Han thieves!" ”

Liu Laosan gave Xiang Zhuang a lot of face, and as soon as he gave his hand, he rushed down to lead the troops, and Han Xin, who was subordinate to Liu Laosan in terms of establishment, wanted to follow, but Xiang Zhuang stopped him and said: "General Han Xin, you stay, just ask your deputy to lead the troops instead of you." ”

Han Xin stopped singing, arched his hand to Liu Laosan, and then immediately turned his gaze to the first battlefield of the Han army, which had already fought flesh and blood, and said secretly: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's up to you whether you win or lose today." ”

Xiang Zhuang may have inadvertently saved Han Xin's life, and after seeing that the Western Chu Army finally divided its troops to block the west gate of the army's camp, Uncle Zhou was first overjoyed, and then saw clearly that the enemy was actually under the banner of Liu Laosan, Uncle Zhou immediately laughed and said: "It's really a narrow road, I hope that the puppet named Han Xin is also here, so as to live up to the trap I carefully set!" Wormda, I'll leave it to you on Simon's side, act according to the plan! ”

Liu Laosan's side, after quickly rushing to the west gate of the Han army's camp, taking advantage of the opportunity that the Han army had not had time to send troops out of the camp from here, Liu Laosan, who was also an old sparrow on the battlefield, immediately commanded the army to line up a dense queue outside the range of the Han army's bow and crossbow, and aimed his bow and crossbow at the two camp gates of the Han army's west camp, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Han thief, if you want to come out of here, just come!" ”

Here it comes!

It's really coming!

But it's a pity that it wasn't the soldiers of the Han army who came out, but the ......

"Whew! Call! Call! ”

In the whistling sound, a large black urn with thick smoke suddenly flew up from the Han military camp, drawing a wonderful parabola in the sky, and smashed into the dense queue of the army under Liu Laosan, and the flames were full of flames, and the countless Western Chu soldiers under Liu Laosan suddenly screamed like killing pigs, one of the large urns also happened to hit Liu Laosan's banner nearby, and a burst of burning charcoal smashed into Liu Laosan's handsome face, which immediately ignited Liu Laosan's beard and hair, also made Liu Laosan scream like a pig......

"Shameless thief! There was an ambush here! ”

The primordial incendiary bombs that fell one after another smashed the soldiers under Liu Laosan's command into a big mess, and then countless sheep's head stones fell from the sky, smashing the heads and breaking the blood flow of the soldiers of the Western Chu Army who lined up to block the door, their brains burst, and the casualties were heavy, and the cheers were also in the Han military camp one after another, Liu Laosan slapped the flames on his face while shouting in despair, "Retreat!" Retreat! Fast! ”

Uncle Zhou's number one fierce general Worm Da is waiting for this opportunity, Liu Laosan's army has just retreated in a panic, the drums of war are beating, the two camp doors of the Han army's west camp are open together, Worm Da is the first to rush out with a steel knife, and the Han army soldiers behind are all brave, all of them work hard, rushing like the wind, like two sharp knives directly stabbed Liu Laosan's army that has been smashed by the trebuchet, at the same time, the Han army trebuchet also seized the time, and threw a wave of stones again, which further confused Liu Laosan's already very chaotic queue.

The suspense is still not big, the elite of the Han army who suddenly killed rushed into the ranks of the Western Chu army that had been chaotic, just wave the knife to kill and cut people, and even if Fan Xu, Zhou Bo and other fierce generals led the army to fight to the death, they were not able to block the tide of the Han army's offensive, and the Han army soldiers behind were inexhaustible, constantly out of the camp from the west gate of the camp, and quickly occupied the advantage of the troops outside the west gate, the battlefield life-saving master Liu Laosan saw that the situation was not good, so he could only quickly turn the horse's head, lead the army to run south, and the worm led the army to chase after him. Chased and killed more than ten miles in one go, until Liu Laosan's army was completely defeated.

At this time, although the Western Chu army had already defeated the first formation of the Han army as expected, but seeing Liu Laosan's rapid defeat, Han Xin immediately understood that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said to Xiang Zhuang: "Zuo Sima, Pei Gong's side has been defeated, and when the Han thieves chase the troops turn around, they will definitely storm our banner formation, the situation is not favorable to us, the best way is to quickly withdraw our troops, so as to minimize our losses." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Zhuang categorically rejected Han Xin's suggestion and said: "No, now our army has been entangled with the Han thieves, and retreating at this time is equivalent to turning his back and letting the Han thieves cut and continue to fight!" ”

After that, in addition to ordering the last 10,000 troops in his hand to immediately form a circle formation to protect the flag array, Xiang Zhuang hurriedly sent people to contact Tian Da, and ordered the Jibei army to give up attacking the Yan army camp and attack the second formation of the Han army with all its might, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the opportunity of the Han army's scattered forces to break the Han army and lay the victory. Han Xin shook his head helplessly when he saw it, and said secretly: "Now I have fulfilled Uncle Zhou's wish." ”

Not to mention, when the Jibei Army gave up attacking the camp and changed to an all-out field battle, it really regained the upper hand on the battlefield for a certain period of time, but when Worm Da led 20,000 troops back to the main battlefield and began to besiege Xiang Zhuang's flag array, Xiang Zhuang also lost contact with all the armies in the north, resulting in the various departments of the Chuji Coalition Army could only fight on their own, all by feeling, and Uncle Zhou was extremely calm and sent troops from the West Gate, first reinforcing the South Gate battlefield of the army camp.

Lost contact with the flag array, and was far superior to their own Han army before and after, the West Chu army outside the south gate was of course quickly defeated by the Han army, and then the two Han armies decisively reinforced the East Gate battlefield, launched a fierce attack on the West Chu army led by Ji Bu, and crushed the enemy with a local advantage in strength, plus there were Han army heavy armor soldiers in the chaos of the army rampage, invincible, the West Chu army fierce general Ji Bu also could not support, and finally had to flee south when the sun set, the rest of the Chu army saw all panic, Although it was still holding on, it was also defeated, and the Jibei army began to gradually retreat.

Seeing this scene, Han Xin could only hurriedly rush to Xiang Zhuang and said, "Zuo Sima, how stubborn are you going to be?" If we don't make a splash, not only will our army be finished, but you'll also be finished! ”

After a roar of extreme unwillingness, Xiang Zhuang still reluctantly issued an order to Mingjin, and at the same time got on the horse and personally led the army to rush to break through, and when the voice of Jin Zheng finally sounded in the flag of the Western Chu army, the teams of the Chuji coalition army in the north were like amnesty, from top to bottom were scrambling to flee south, the soldiers of the Han army took the opportunity to chase and kill, and slashed and killed the defeated and retreating Chuji coalition army soldiers with their butts, and the Yan army that was tyrannized by the Chuji coalition army for a day and a night also roared and rushed out of the camp and joined the pursuit of the battlefield, Give vent to your anger at being bullied by your enemies.

Fortunately, Jinjiling is not very far from here, and the Chuji coalition army still has the temporary safe position of Licheng to retreat, so even if it is a very hasty retreat, there are still a large number of Chuji coalition troops who have fled back to the camp or Licheng City, Xiang Zhuang and Han Xin out of caution, the 30,000 defenders left behind also played a huge role at this moment, successfully covering the withdrawal of many friendly soldiers to the camp, and did not give the Han army a chance to take the opportunity to enter their camp.

Maybe it's a good retribution, Xiang Zhuang, who has a good character and martial arts, also led Han Xin to miraculously break out of the siege after a desperate bloody battle, and escaped back to the Jinjiling camp by luck, but when Xiang Zhuang returned to the Chinese army's tent with blood and sweat on his face, the first thing he saw was Ji Bu who was yelling at Liu Laosan, and the content of the roar was to accuse Liu Laosan of not fighting effectively, and the army under his command was the first to rout, which led to today's defeat.

"Don't make any noise! Today's responsibility is mine! In today's battle, I will take the initiative to send someone to report to the king and ask the king to hold me accountable! ”

After roaring and drinking the unforgiving Ji Bu, Xiang Zhuang sat on the handsome seat with a butt and said with a gloomy face: "The most important thing now is to think about what to do next, today this battle is lost, and when the reinforcements of the Han thieves come, we are even more hopeless, whether we should continue to hold on to the reinforcements, or quickly abandon Licheng and go south, we have to make up our minds as soon as possible." ”

Ji Bu closed his mouth, Liu Laosan, whose hair and beard were burned off, was silent, but Han Xin, who was also covered in sweat and blood, was thinking in his heart, and said secretly: "It is a way to retreat as soon as possible, but if we abandon the camp and retreat at this time, it must be expected by Uncle Zhou's husband, and he will definitely have a precautionary arrangement, even if we can barely escape, the loss will definitely not be small there." Stick to the situation of the Western Chu Army, and no one can say whether it can send us reinforcements again. Will there be hope ...... the Jedi Strike Back? ”
