Chapter 121: Calling the Formation
The next day, at noon.
Xiaxiang County, under the city, black flag and black armor, Li Yang took 500 Yulin troops and 3,000 Dongyang County soldiers to directly kill the city of Xiaxiang County, and set up a formation 300 meters away from the city.
The July sun is a little scorching.
But these black flags and black armor look like they have a cold and murderous atmosphere.
And behind the small hill outside the city, there was also dust, and it seemed that thousands of troops and horses were lying in ambush there.
At the head of the city, Xiang Liang took the generals in the city, and when he saw the more than 3,000 people killed under the city, he couldn't help but sigh and was surprised.
"Li Yang is really bold, there are more than 3,000 people, and he dares to set up a position under my city, which is really extremely arrogant!"
Xiang Liang looked at the Qin army under the city, and couldn't help but smile softly, and his face saw the nervousness of half of the troops approaching the city.
Long He also sneered: "It is rumored that this person is known for his arrogance in the court, but now it seems to be true." ”
"Hahaha!"
Everyone nodded and laughed.
The spies sent out yesterday, after many investigations, did confirm that Li Yang only brought 500 Yulin soldiers from Xianyang this time, and the so-called 30,000 iron cavalry was just a trick.
Xiang Bo said to Liu Ji on the side: "General Liu, you look at the current scene, but it is exactly the same as the scene in Pei County the day before yesterday?" ”
Liu Ji's face was not very good, because he was obviously laughing at him, and he was so frightened by Li Yang's 500 soldiers that he abandoned the city and fled the day before yesterday.
However, the current scene is really exactly the same as the scene in Pei County that day.
Far outside the city, behind the hills, the same frightened birds were flying, the same was dusty.
The only difference is that at this time, under the city of Xiaxiang County, instead of five hundred feather forests, it has become three thousand five hundred people.
Seeing that Liu Ji didn't speak, Xiang Bo said: "Li Yang, this person, Yu Pei County used the array of suspicious soldiers, General Liu, you don't know the truth and truth, so you were fooled and abandoned the city and fled." Now, this person is actually doing a lot of tricks in my next county, heh, I really don't know where he got his confidence, and he thinks that we will be fooled for the second time. ”
"General Xiang is better to be cautious." Liu Ji smiled coldly.
Xiang Bo chuckled, obviously thinking that Liu Ji would be in the middle of the plan because he was too cautious and timid, otherwise how could he abandon the city and flee, so he naturally didn't take Liu Ji's words as the same thing.
"Report!"
At this moment, a spy ran in front of everyone.
Xiang Liang immediately asked, "Behind the hills outside the city, what is the situation?" ”
The spy said: "General Huixiang, today I found out that behind the hill is a group of people, guessing that it should be from Pei County, about 300 people, each dragging branches on the road behind the hill, so they rolled up dust. ”
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Xiang Liang raised his head and laughed three times, his eyes were even more determined, and he said proudly: "As I expected, this is a suspicious plan." ”
"Now it can be concluded that Li Yang only brought five hundred feather forests from Xianyang, there is no doubt about it! It's just ......" Xiang Bo said this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't believe it: "It's incredible that this person only brought five hundred people to quell the chaos!" ”
Yes, a dignified prime minister, who only brought 500 people to quell the chaos, if it weren't for the exact news obtained after repeated inquiries into the military situation, everyone really couldn't believe that this would be true.
Since Qin Shi Huang sent him to quell the chaos, why did he only let him bring 500 Yulin troops, this question was incomprehensible to everyone present.
Is it because the emperor didn't give him soldiers and wanted him to come over and die?
Or is Li Yang really so arrogant that he voluntarily brought 500 soldiers over?
Whatever the reason, it seems so ridiculous to everyone.
However, for Xiang Liang and the others, they don't need to think about why, they just need to know that Li Yang under the city is not in danger, and even if they want to capture him alive, it is no problem.
Unlike Xiang Liang and others, who were overjoyed, Liu Ji on the side was completely blinded again.
Between this fiction and reality, he found that he was completely stunned in the maze of Li Yang's strategy and Xiang Liang's military situation, and he was completely unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Don't say it's him, even Xiao He is confused at this time.
He couldn't understand this.
If Li Yang had 30,000 iron horses, it should be arranged near the city at this time, otherwise the 30,000 iron horses would not be able to appear in time, which would be equivalent to Li Yang losing the protection of the iron horses.
But why didn't Xiang Liang's spies find them?
Where did Li Yang hide his 30,000 iron horses?
Xiao He looked dazed......
However, Liu Ji and Xiao He can see one thing very clearly, that is, under the condition that the fear of famine is completely solved now, there is no hope for rebellion.
In other words, rebellion is a dead end.
Therefore, at present, they have no other way to choose, but to make meritorious service and recapture Xiaxiang County for Li Yang.
At this time, Li Yang, who was outside the city, had already begun to scold under the city!
I saw Li Yang urging the horse to two hundred steps away from the city, holding a sword, shouting above the city: "Xiangliang dog thief in the city, listen to the prime minister, go out of the city and surrender quickly, the prime minister can stay with a whole corpse!" Otherwise, when the army of Benxiang breaks through the city, it will definitely be dismantled and fed to the dogs! ”
Xiang Liang: "............"
Everyone: "............"
Everyone was stunned, they couldn't believe that this guy dared to be so arrogant.
Xiang Liang was not angry at all, but chuckled lightly, and said to everyone: "Look at this person's stupidity, deliberately arrogant, he thought that we would believe that the 'suspicious array' behind the hill is 30,000 iron horsemen, haha!" ”
Long Ji also smiled: "This person is probably still dreaming, thinking that we should abandon the city and flee later." ”
Everyone laughed, but Liu Ji and the others had gloomy faces.
Because this is tantamount to laughing at him, Liu Ji and others.
Li Yang under the city was still scolding: "Xiang Liang, don't you have a nephew named Xiang Yu, I heard that he is brave and martial, can you dare to come out and fight with the prime minister for a hundred rounds?" If you don't dare, hurry out of the city and surrender. ”
"Xiang Yu, you bastard, get out of here!"
"I'll let you in with a white knife, and come out with a red knife, and I'll stab you in the heart!"
"I'll let you in with a white knife, and the green knife will come out, and I'll prick you with bitter guts!"
"I'll let you go in with a white knife, or come out with a white knife, I'll pick your head and slurry me!"
"I'll let you in with a white knife, and with a yellow knife out, I'll stab you in a!"
“…………”
In front of the two armies, there was no one in history who called the formation like this, Han Xin and Li You were stunned!
And Xiang Yu at the head of the city was completely blown up by Li Yang's mouth cannon!
He's grown so big, and he's never seen such an arrogant person!
This is simply too arrogant!
Xiang Yu gritted his teeth in anger, being insulted like this, don't I want dignity, when he asked Zhandao: "Uncle, please give me 3,000 soldiers, I will go out of the city and screw off the head of that madman!" ”
In fact, hearing Li Yang's mouth cannon under the city, Xiang Liang also wanted to go out of the city and kill this directly.
However......
How many people should be sent out of the city, and whose people should be sent out of the city, this has to be carefully calculated. Because after all, there are 3,500 people in the city, and 500 of them are still Yulin Iron Cavalry, if there are not nearly 10,000 people on their side, it is estimated that it will be difficult to win.
However, the problem is, if you send 10,000 people out of the city to fight, then there will only be 6,000 people left in the city, and Liu Ji has more than 13,000 people, so won't the dominant power in this city become Liu Ji's?
In case of defeat outside the city, Liu Ji will close the city gate, but it will be troublesome.
Therefore, thinking of this, Xiang Liang hurriedly said: "Yu'er, don't worry, the other party is more than 3,000 elite soldiers, how can you please you lead 3,000 people out of the city to fight?" ”
Xiang Yu was stunned, but he also knew that his troops were all peasants, so he said: "Then give me 10,000 soldiers, and I will cut off his head and come back and hang it on this city tower." ”
Xiang Liang pretended to be pensive, then turned to Liu Ji and said, "General Liu, since we have joined forces to resist Qin this time, why don't you and I each send 7,000 troops out of the city, how about it?" ”
Liu Ji naturally understood the little bit of thought in the other party's heart.
However, he did not reject Xiang Liang's proposal, and readily agreed: "Yes, then send 7,000 soldiers each and eat them together!" ”
Xiang Liang was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, with General Liu's words, today, the Qin army will be destroyed!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiang Liang immediately ordered Xiang Yu: "Yu'er, immediately lead 7,000 troops and go out of the city to annihilate the enemy!" ”
"Whoa!"
Xiang Yu suddenly felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood, and led the order to go down the city.
And Liu Ji also turned around and walked down the city wall and went to transfer troops to punish the generals.
"Lord Xiao, did you say that the prime minister has 30,000 iron horses?" When he walked down the city wall, Liu Ji hurriedly asked Xiao He softly.
Xiao He shook his head: "This ...... I'm afraid it's really gone. ”
"Huh?" Liu Ji was stunned and stupid: "Then what should we do?" ”
Xiao He glanced at Liu Ji and said, "Act according to the plan!" ”
Liu Ji was a little worried, and said: "If the prime minister does not have 30,000 iron cavalry, and we have transferred 7,000 people out, we will only have 6,000 people left in the city, and to deal with the 9,000 soldiers left by Xiang Liang in the city, there will be a huge disparity in strength." ”
Xiao He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Let Fan Hao lead 3,000 soldiers and Xiahou Ying lead 4,000 soldiers, and pretend to go out of the city with Xiang Yubu to meet the enemy." At the same time, Fan Hao led 3,000 people to attack Xiang Yu's department in front and behind with the prime minister, and Xiahou Ying led 4,000 people to turn around and kill directly back to the city. In this way, there is a chance of victory outside the city and inside the city. ”
When Liu Ji heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded.
