"What? Don't want to go? You don't want to fight a tough battle, why don't you want to fight a field battle either? ”

Xiang Liang is asking nonsense, accustomed to being the master of his own house, Xiang Kang has long been looking forward to continuing to be independent, making his own decisions in an army and on a battlefield, no longer having to ask for the consent of others and the feelings of his colleagues, coupled with the style and habits of using soldiers and serious conflicts with many Chu army generals, Xiang Kang is even more eager to break away from the main force as soon as possible, and live back to the good life of fooling around as much as he wants. did not immediately receive Xiang Liang's order, it was entirely because Xiang Kang was thinking about Xiang Liang in his heart, and he didn't react for a while.

After reacting immediately, Xiang Kang was of course unceremonious, and immediately clenched his fists and said: "The last general will obey the general's orders and guarantee to kill Li Youpifu on behalf of the general, and ensure the safety of our army's rear and grain routes." ”

"Are you really sure of that? Do you want me to send another army to help you? Xiang Liang asked uneasily.

Before Xiang Liang finished speaking, Feng Zhong, Xiang Zhuang and Liu Laosan immediately jumped out and volunteered to help Xiang Kang go south to clean up Li You, but unfortunately Xiang Kang was unwilling to appreciate it, and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the general, but there is no need, Li You's army is familiar with the last general, and the soldiers in the hands of the last general are enough to deal with him." The main force of our army is facing the main force of Zhang Handpifu, and it is not appropriate to divide the troops too much. ”

"Okay, just support the army." Xiang Liang nodded, and said casually: "But if you go south this time, you can't just kill Li Youpifu and finish the matter, if you have the opportunity, you have to chase and kill to the end, it is best to let Li You no longer have the ability to organize the tyrannical Qin army to continue behind our back." It is your advantage to be cautious in the use of soldiers, but it is your disadvantage to not be able to eliminate evil enough, and you had better correct such shortcomings. ”

Xiang Kang agreed loudly, and officially accepted the task of leading the action of the first army in the envious eyes of the generals of the Chu army, but out of filial piety and respect for Xiang Liang, after the tent was dispersed, as the generals of the Chu army left the camp of the Chinese army, Xiang Kang still repeatedly told Feng Zhong and Liu Laosan, who were close friends with him, and asked them to try their best to persuade Xiang Liang to give up the attack on Puyang as soon as possible, retreat to the Jishui area to establish a defensive line, and give priority to digesting the results of the victory that had been obtained, and then hurriedly returned to his camp and organized the 20,000 troops under his command to attack south.

Even Xiang Kang underestimated the excitement of his direct army to act alone, it was better in the Chu army camp, and the Chu army officers and soldiers who were directly subordinate to Xiang Kang could barely restrain themselves, but they quickly pulled out the camp with a happy face, but just left the Chu army camp, Xiang Kang's army soon burst into joy, and the generals and soldiers were all happy, no one was not cheering, Xiang Kang saw it and laughed and scolded, "What are you shouting?" Isn't it to marry a daughter-in-law, so happy? ”

Scolding and scolding, Xiang Kang, who was also very excited in his heart, quickly ordered again: "Pass the order, stop shouting, sing our military songs, and sing to Jiyang." ”

"Wu Gexi was rhinoceros armor, and the car was wrong and short-handed. The sun covers the enemy like a cloud, and the arrows and fallen soldiers compete for the first. Ling Yu hesitated for the rest of his life, and his left side was slashed and his right blade was injured ....... ”

According to Xiang Kang's order, the loud military song of the Chu army soon echoed on the road from Puyang to Jiyang, and the old men of the young marshal army, who had been secretly suppressed since the merger into the Chu army, were all high-spirited, turning the unevenness accumulated in their chests into loud singing, singing endlessly, and the happiest and loudest singing was Xiang Kang himself!

Xiang Kang was ordered to lead the army south alone to block the reinforcements of the Qin army, and it was definitely not only Xiang Kang and the old man of the young marshal army under Xiang Kang who were excited and happy, but also Zhang Han, the chief general of the Qin army, was also ecstatic, so that after receiving the news, Zhang Han actually drank three bowls of wine on the spot, and said with a wild smile: "God help me!" God help me! Xiang Liang's old thief sent away Xiang Kang, a treacherous and traitorous thief, God really helped me! The thief army can be broken, and the thief army can finally be broken! ”

The old and young marshal army with high emotions marched very quickly, and it only took about a day and a half to advance directly from Puyang to the suburbs of Jiyang, but unfortunately the young marshal army was a late strike after all, and it was an army that was dispatched after learning that the outer Huang defenders of the Chu army were forced to abandon the city and leave, so when the young marshal army arrived at the Jiyang battlefield, the more than 30,000 Qin troops led by the old opponent Li You had successfully crossed Jishui and arrived at the city of Jiyang.

At the same time, combined with the information collected by the scout and the detailed work, Xiang Kang also preliminarily figured out why Li You would go north from Neihuang to reinforce Puyang, it turned out that this matter was related to Han Cheng, the new king of Han who was canonized by Xiang Liang, Han Cheng took the army that Xiang Liang gave him and the Zhang Chu army recruited along the way After returning to Han Land, with the help of the remnants of the Korean nobles, he quickly captured two cities, Zhang Han was unwilling to use the main force to deal with Han Cheng's small shrimp, so he asked Li You to take the Qin army of Sanchuan County to the south to quell the rebellion, also quickly recaptured the fallen city and beat Han Cheng to the ground. Therefore, after receiving the news that Zhang Han was trapped in the Puyang battlefield, Li You went directly north from Yingchuan, and rushed to the Puyang battlefield to reinforce Zhang Han by means of Yongqiu and Waihuang.

After understanding this, Uncle Zhou immediately proposed to Xiang Kang: "General Right, since Li You is here to reinforce Puyang, then whether he plans to go north to Puyang directly, or go along the east of Jishui to cut off our grain route, then he must be more anxious to fight than us." Since this is the case, then our army might as well drive directly to the city of Jiyang, Li You saw that our army was tired from afar, and he would inevitably send troops to fight, and our army was now at a time when morale was high, and the victory of the decisive battle should be not small. ”

"Don't rush." Xiang Kang smiled cruelly and said: "It's hard to be alone, I want to vent my life, and I will fight a decisive battle as soon as I arrive, what is the difference between this and our main force?" I want to tease Li You first, make him itchy and unbearable, and then suddenly send troops to make his face bloom, this is my style and habit of using soldiers. ”

"General Right's style and habits are really different from ordinary people." Uncle Zhou smiled and didn't object, but just suggested: "Since General Right doesn't want to rush to a decisive battle, then we might as well set up camp ten miles north of Jiyang City, this distance is not far or close, and you can do countless articles, which is the most suitable for General Right to highlight the surprise soldiers." ”

Xiang Kang, who was full of bad water and was already fermenting and boiling, heard the applause, and decisively ordered the army to advance to the north of Jiyang City ten miles to set up camp, and then not as expected by Uncle Zhou, Li You, who was eager to fight, took the initiative to come over with the Qin army to fight, Xiang Kang ignored it, just ordered the army to be on guard while rushing to repair the camp, and at the same time led Uncle Zhou, Chen Ping, Li Shiqi and others to the front of the battle to check on Li Youjun's situation closely.

Relying on the prosperity of Sanchuan County, the old opponent Li Youjun is still well-equipped and has a clear banner and armor, but whether the combat effectiveness has improved compared to before can not be known by observation alone, and at the same time, Xiang Kang can also see that although Li You, the second generation of the most competitive official in the Qin Dynasty, is famous, his military talent is not outstanding, and the Qin army's battle formations look neat, but there is an obvious lack of change, and the level of the battle is about the point of looking at the books and fighting in a daze.

However, Li You's backbone and courage are still commendable, in the face of the young marshal's soldiers who are waiting for strict order, the 20,000 young marshals who have experienced a hundred battles, Li You, who is only the main force of the county soldiers, first sent people to the young marshal's barracks to insult and fight, and after being ignored by Xiang Kang, Li You decisively urged the army and forcibly came to attack the young marshal's army camp that was being built, Xiang Kang ignored it, just let the generals under his command lead the troops to meet the battle, and also took the opportunity to carefully observe Li Youjun's current combat effectiveness.

Li Youjun's performance perfectly explained the sentence of what kind of people bring what kind of soldiers, in the face of the crossbow arrows and thrown bows and arrows that the young marshal soldiers kept casting, Li Youjun and the soldiers just strode forward with a long shield, even if the casualties were not small, they did not stop, and they only continued to advance, and successfully won the opportunity to fight with the young marshal soldiers in close quarters, and then even if they exposed the weakness of the combat effectiveness and experience of the young marshal soldiers and soldiers, they still fought and did not retreat, and the tenacity of the will to fight made Xiang Kang and Uncle Zhou can't help but praise, Admired for it.

It is a pity that the tenacious will did not help Li Youjun to achieve victory, relying on the combat experience accumulated in long-term actual combat, the young marshal soldiers still successfully withstood Li Youjun's fierce attack, so that Li You attacked several times, but never broke through the blocking position of the young marshal's army, although Li Youjun fought tenaciously, the attack has always been like a left jab in a boxing match, the strength is somewhat insufficient, and it cannot form a fatal threat to the young marshal's army. In addition, it was not early, and after several tentative attacks by the Qin army were fruitless, Li You had no choice but to order the troops to be withdrawn and retreat to the camp angrily with the army.

Li Youjun retreated in an orderly manner, and Xiang Kang did not send troops to pursue, but just asked Uncle Zhou next to him: "General Zhou, what do you think?" ”

"It's not difficult to deal with, and its combat effectiveness and experience are inferior to our army." Uncle Zhou replied: "But the will to fight is tenacious enough, if we retreat to the city, or hold the danger that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, then we may have some headaches, such an army is most suitable for defensive battles." ”

"That's what worries me the most." Xiang Kang said: "We are sure of defeating Li You head-on, but if we can't seize the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on him and give him the opportunity to retreat to Jiyang City or the south bank of Jishui with enough troops, then our next battle will definitely be difficult." ”

"If you don't want Li You to calmly retreat into the city to defend the city, or retreat to the south bank of Jishui, then we have only one way to ......."

Before Uncle Zhou finished speaking, Xiang Kang had already taken over the conversation, and said in unison with Uncle Zhou: "Night attack, only a night raid, breaking through his camp in one fell swoop, Li You can't quickly turn from attack to defense." ”

When Xiang Kang and Uncle Zhou, who had a good heart, looked at each other and laughed, Chen Ping next to him came up again, and said with a wicked smile on his face: "General Right, do you still remember Li You's conscientious temper?" If we take advantage of his weakness and use some fatigue, in a few days, we will surely be able to create an opportunity for a night raid. ”

"Then how should we fatigue our soldiers?" Xiang Kang asked.

"Xun Ying." This time, it was Uncle Zhou's turn and Chen Ping to answer in unison, and then Chen Ping added: "We can follow the tired tactics of Xun Ying, the general of the Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period. ”

…………

The next morning, before Li You made up his mind whether to send troops to fight, Xiang Kang had already sent his general Zhu Jishi to lead 3,000 troops to the south, and took the initiative to run to fight against Li You. It's a pity that Zhu Jishi saw that the Qin army was strong, so he immediately turned around and left, and took the army to directly withdraw to the young marshal's army camp, which had begun to take shape.

Even more angry Li You is still behind, seeing that the camp of the young marshal army cannot be broken, Li You just ordered to collect the troops and did not go far, Zhu Jishi actually rushed out of the camp of the young marshal army like a leper dog, and attacked the rear of the Qin army, when Li You commanded the main force to turn back to fight, Zhu Jishi immediately saw that it was good and immediately fled back to the camp to hide, and the Qin army angrily attacked the camp and beat it down, tossing until it was close to evening before hating to collect the troops.

The night is more lively, Xiang Kang's signature tactics disturb the battlefield at night, every once in a while, there are some soldiers of the young marshal's army who touch the Qin army's camp and beat gongs and drums, disturbing the Qin army's rest, Li You, who is loyal to his duty, is afraid that the young marshal's army will rob the camp, and every time he takes the army to get up to meet the battle, he can't rest well all night.

On the third day, the young marshal's army repeated its old tricks, and Zheng Bu led three thousand troops to fight outside the Qin military camp, shouting insults, affectionately greeting Li You's father, Li Si, the famous minister of Qin, Li You was furious and led the army to fight, but Zheng Bu only resisted a little, and then immediately turned around and ran, and seduced the main force of the Qin army to fight outside the camp of the young marshal army that was getting stronger and stronger.

That night, Xiang Kang's younger generation kept going out again, and every once in a while they ran to the outside of the Qin army camp to beat gongs and drums, so that Li You and the Qin army soldiers did not sleep well for another night, and once provoked the Qin army to take the risk of going out at night to expel the shameless villains of the young marshal army lurking around the camp of the self-army.

On the fourth day, Li You, who had already turned into panda eyes, of course understood that Xiang Kang was using a tired tactic, so when Xiang Kang sent Ding Ji to fight outside the Qin military camp, Li You did not continue to be fooled, and did not send the main force to fight again, but only sent his subordinate Wu Qingxiang to lead 8,000 troops to attack and expel the Ding Ji army that was scolding outside the camp.

The Qin army's attack force became smaller, and Ding Ji of course immediately turned the enemy into a force, and took 3,000 young marshals and soldiers to fight hard outside the Qin military camp with Wu Qingxiang's troops, and at the same time, Xiang Kang also immediately sent Xiang Guan and Guan Ying to lead the cavalry of the young marshal's army to attack, rushing to reinforce Ding Ji. Li You saw that the young marshal's army suddenly turned fake into true, and he didn't dare to hesitate, so he hurriedly took the main force to go out again, while Ding Ji and Xiang Guan fought and left, and lured the Qin army to the vicinity of the camp of the army, and fought bravely with their backs to the camp.

In this battle, the young marshal's army finally moved to the real character, and fought with the Qin army in front of the military camp in the dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and it was not until more than half of the afternoon that Ding Jijun seized the opportunity of the Qin army's rotation and quickly withdrew to the camp and took the initiative to end the hard battle in front of the camp. Although less than half of the Qin army took turns to participate in the battle, they were afraid that the main force of the young marshal's army would suddenly move, and the main force of the Qin army was still pinned down outside the young marshal's barracks and did not dare to move.

At this point, Li You of course also understood that Xiang Kang wanted to deliberately exhaust his main force, so on the way back to the camp, Li You took the initiative to promise the soldiers of the Qin army: "Hold on for one more night, no matter how Xiang Kang rebels fight tomorrow, we will only defend and not fight, and we will never let Xiang Kang's rebels get their wishes." ”

Hold on for another night? Li You said it easily, he went out to fight during the day for four consecutive days, and failed to sleep well for two consecutive nights, and the soldiers of the Qin army were difficult to support even if they were beaten with iron, so at night, when the young marshal army came to shamelessly disturb the soldiers of the Qin army to rest, Li You himself supported his bloodshot eyes, and every time he got up to organize the army to defend the camp, but the soldiers of the Qin army were so tired that their hands and feet were weak, and they could fall asleep directly by leaning on the camp fence.

The fourth time was forced out of the tent by the disturbing tactics of the young marshal's army, and finally confirmed that there was no danger when he returned to the tent to rest, Li You was so tired that he even walked on his feet, and asked weakly how many shifts, and before the soldiers in the tent answered, Li You had already laid down directly on the couch, snoring in armor and falling asleep.

The young marshal army was waiting for this time, and at the halfway point of the third watch, the officers and men of the young marshal army, who did not participate in the battle during the day today, suddenly sneaked outside the Qin army camp under the personal leadership of Xiang Kang, and suddenly launched a sneak attack on the Qin army camp. Although the sentries of the Qin army, who were as loyal to their duties as Li You, discovered it in time and immediately sounded the gong to call the police, then the young marshal army decisively turned a sneak attack into a strong attack, and stormed the door of the Qin army camp at any cost.

"Kill——!"

In the shout, the young marshal soldiers with sharp axes and shields in their hands rushed to the door of the Qin army camp with the crossbow arrows hurriedly released by the Qin army, and slashed fiercely, and countless young marshal soldiers took advantage of the cover of the night to quickly step forward, and tied the fence of the Qin army camp with ropes and pulled hard, although the tired Qin army soldiers also quickly rushed to block, but they were still successfully pulled down several rows of fences by the young marshal soldiers, and the young marshal soldiers immediately carried the simple bridge that had been prepared long ago and quickly built a trench road.

When the first road through the trench was just completed, a camp gate in the north camp of the Qin army was cut off by the soldiers of the young marshal army and rushed open almost at the same time, and the commando team of the young marshal army, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, immediately launched a charge, and the soldiers were divided into two ways and directly entered the Qin army camp. Li You had no choice but to command the army to defend the camp of the Chinese army while hurriedly organizing the army to fight to the death with the young marshal's army in the outer camp, in a vain attempt to retreat the young marshal's army to defend the camp.

It's a pity, it's still that sentence, although Li Youjun's fighting spirit is remarkable, but neither experience nor morale is the opponent of the young marshal's army in a hundred battles, and the camp can't arrange troops, it can only be a messy melee, which not only weakens Li Youjun's combat effectiveness even more, but also makes the young marshal soldiers who are good at melee more like a fish in water, so the battalion is fighting to the death, but the young marshal army still has the upper hand, and the battle is only a moment, and the front army of the young marshal army has all entered the Qin army camp.

When Xiang Kang personally led the main force of the young marshal army to kill the Qin army camp, the Qin army soldiers who were extremely tired were even more opponents, Zheng Bu and Zhu Jishi's second army took the banner as the guide, and rampaged in the chaotic Qin army camp, like entering no man's land, almost all the military tents and fortifications of the Qin army's outer camp were set on fire, and the main force of the young marshal army led by Xiang Kang personally took Zhong Liwu and Long and the two generals as the vanguard, unceremoniously and directly attacked the Qin army's camp and fought frantically with the Qin army's Chinese army.

At this time, Li Youdu was so anxious that his eyes almost spewed blood and fire, in order to boost morale, he not only personally put on armor and went into battle with his own troops to fill the leaks, but also personally killed the enemy with a spear in the fierce battle, and was also injured. But there was no way, the combat effectiveness, physical strength and morale were all at a disadvantage, so no matter how hard Li You worked, the Qin army still failed to block the fierce rush of the young marshal army, and the young marshal army directly broke through the Qin army's Chinese camp defense line from the front and entered the Qin army's Chinese army camp.

"Xiang Kang! Traitor! You shameless dog thief! You obviously have the strength to fight me head-on, why do you still steal chickens and dogs? Are you a man? Isn't it a man's husband?! Come out, come out, this county guard will fight you personally! I'm going to fight you personally! ”

Wielding his spear like crazy, Li You's angry roar was directly accompanied by a cry, and he couldn't understand how could there be such a filthy and vicious despicable villain as Xiang Kang in this world, who obviously had the upper hand in the overall strength of the army and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but he still refused to fight him head-on? Even if you want to steal chickens and touch dogs, play yin and play evil, like cats and mice, play yourself half to death first, and then give yourself a fatal blow?

"Xiang Kang is a traitor, are you by nature?!"
