In the battle of attacking the camp of the young marshal's army head-on, although the Qin army, which was stubbornly resisted by the soldiers of the young marshal's army, did not have much confidence in directly attacking the camp, it was very promising to rely on the cover of the ant-attached attack to fill in a large number of the young marshal's camp trenches, so as to facilitate the attack on the camp in the coming day, but Zhang Han suddenly gave up and suddenly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. The reason is the same as Xiang Kang's guess, it is indeed Zhang Han who received an urgent report from the Qin army, and knew that Xiang Liang's army was rapidly approaching the Suiyang battlefield, so he decisively ordered to retreat and collect his troops.

Zhang Han must also withdraw his troops as soon as possible, the reason is that the tenacious performance of the main force of the young marshal army in the offensive and defensive battle of the camp greatly exceeded his prior estimate, so that Zhang Han knew that it was difficult for the Qin army to take the camp of the young marshal army by relying on one or two frontal strong attacks, in order not to consume the soldiers and the army's spirit in vain, Zhang Han could only give up this uncertain attack on the camp, so as not to attack the camp in vain, and also gave Xiang Liang's army the opportunity to successfully arrive at the Suiyang battlefield and meet with Xiang Kang.

Secondly, the size of Xiang Liang's army is also quite large, just the preliminary statistics of the Qin army, Xiang Liang brought at least 40,000 troops this time, although it will not pose a fatal threat to the Qin army, but it is also an existence that cannot be ignored, and once Xiang Liang's army and the young marshal's army meet, the total strength is likely to reach 100,000, which is enough to fight the Qin army head-on. Therefore, Zhang Han could only quickly collect his troops and free his hands to concentrate on dealing with the sudden changes on the battlefield.

It was only after retreating back to the camp that Zhang Han disclosed the news to the generals of the Qin army, and the generals of the Qin army, who were still strange for Zhang Han's sudden withdrawal of troops, suddenly realized, and then immediately discussed, some people suggested that Zhang Han, like the Battle of Linji, deliberately let Xiang Liang and Xiang Kang join forces, and then try to break the enemy, and some people suggested that Zhang Han besieged the city to send reinforcements, leaving part of the army to monitor and contain the main force of the young marshal's army, and concentrate the superior forces to kill Xiang Liang from afar first, and then turn around and calmly clean up Xiang Kang, and argued endlessly about this.

Advocate deliberately allowing Xiang Liang and Xiang Kang to join forces are Zhang Han's favorite generals Zhao Ben and Nei Shibao, who also pointed out: "If our army deliberately allows Xiang Liang and Xiang Kang's thief army to join forces, then the thief army will inevitably take it lightly under the arrogance when it sees the growth of the thief's strength, and even give birth to the idea of taking the initiative to fight a decisive battle." Moreover, Xiang Liang and Xiang Kang were in a hurry to meet their divisions, and it would definitely be difficult for them to quickly integrate with each other, and it was easy to expose flaws due to inconsistent orders and create a fighter plane for our army to destroy the enemy. In addition, Xiang Liang rebelled against thieves from afar, and it was absolutely impossible to establish a strong camp in a short period of time, so it was absolutely not impossible for our army to seize the opportunity to suddenly launch a sneak attack, and then break the enemy in one fell swoop like the Battle of Linji. ”

"If you want to break the enemy by surprise attack again, it's best not to think about it, how treacherous Xiang Kang's traitor is, don't you know it? Moreover, he must have been clear about the situation of the Rinzai War for a long time, how could he not let his traitorous uncle be careful to prevent us from repeating our old tricks? Don't sneak attack, it won't work, and give Xiang Kang, that despicable and rebellious thief, the opportunity to sneak attack us in turn. ”

Dong Peng, who led several generals to advocate besieging the city and sending reinforcements, scoffed at Nei Shibao's opinion, and said: "Only the siege of the city is the most stable and the most certain, Xiang Kang's rebels are the most afraid of battle, we only need to leave a small half of the soldiers and horses to contain and monitor, it is enough for him not to move." The main force rushed eastward and attacked the Xiang Liang thief army head-on, and we were absolutely sure that we would annihilate the Xiang Liang thief army who had no time to establish a strong camp, and then turn around, we could calmly clean up Xiang Kang, the rebel thief. ”

"What if Xiang Liang avoids the thief and doesn't fight? Our grain route is too long, easy to be threatened by thieves, the main force is pulled to the east of Suiyang, once the thieves are pulled into the war of attrition, how can Xiang Kang rebels not take the opportunity to make a move, harassing and cutting off our grain route? ”

Listening to the arguments of his subordinates, Zhang Han, who has always liked to seek stability with soldiers, has always been silent, or after Dong Fei and Nei Shibao and others argued dryly, Zhang Han slowly spoke, and said: "The thief army is more difficult than we imagined, besieging the city to help, and breaking the two rebel thieves Xiang Liang and Xiang Kang should be the most stable strategy." But we must also guard against Xiang Liang's rebels and thieves from avoiding and not fighting, dragging us into a confrontation and attrition. Therefore, it is best to compromise, and in turn take advantage of Xiang Liang's anxious mentality of the rebel thief who is anxious for Xiang Kang's thief army to join the army, lure him to fight a head-on battle with us, give full play to our strengths in the battle, and break the enemy with the battle. ”

"General, what are you going to do?" Sima Xin next to him asked.

Zhang Han didn't answer, but just instructed Dong Fei: "General Dong, you and Su Tuo go down and prepare for the attack, and lead 60,000 troops to the east early tomorrow morning, go east of Suiyang to set up camp, and stop Xiang Liang and Xiang Kang, the two rebels, from joining forces." Xiang Liang rebels see that you have little advantage in troops, and will inevitably have the idea of a decisive battle, when you meet the enemy in a formation, and strive to repel Xiang Liang's rebels for me, and also test the strength of Xiang Liang's rebels by the way, and then we will take advantage of the situation and formulate a strategy to break the enemy. ”

Dong Fei happily agreed, and immediately rushed down to prepare with Su Chan, the general of the Qin army who advocated the siege of the city, and the next day the sky was just dawning, and immediately marched westward with 60,000 troops, bypassing the camp of the young marshal's army and Suiyang City, and went straight to the eastern suburbs of Suiyang to set up camp. At the same time, Zhang Han also prepared a sufficient number of reserves to stand by early to prevent Xiang Kang from sending troops to meet Xiang Liang.

On the side of the young marshal army, the disparity in strength between the main force of the Qin army is too huge, Xiang Kang certainly did not dare to risk dividing his troops to meet Xiang Liang, even if he saw at a glance that Zhang Han deliberately intercepted Xiang Liang with a partial division, and wanted to deliberately lure Xiang Liang to launch a decisive battle, Xiang Kang did not dare to make any moves, so he could only send a fast horse to contact Xiang Liang, so that Xiang Liang knew that his situation here was still stable, and there was no need to risk rushing forward, and at the same time, the anti-Qin coalition army in Suiyang City was ready to attack, so that he could send troops to meet his uncle at any time.

Xiang Kang really underestimated his heroic second uncle, although on the urgent letter sent to Xiang Liang, Xiang Kang had already hinted that Xiang Liang could avoid the enemy's edge and retreat appropriately to take a defensive position, and at the same time, Xiang Kang's messenger also sent the letter to Xiang Liang very smoothly. But after reading the letter from his nephew, Xiang Liang only smiled slightly, and then without hesitation, he ordered the army holding high the banner of Chu to continue to move forward and strode towards Suiyang City.

When it was almost noon, Xiang Liang's army ran head-on into the Qin army Dong Fei's headquarters that came east to block the attack, and saw Xiang Liang's army coming straight away, Dong Ping, who was setting up camp, hurriedly dispatched 50,000 troops to form a formation, leaving only 10,000 rear troops to continue to repair the camp. Xiang Liang did not hesitate, and immediately let his army form a formation on the spot, preparing for a head-on battle with Dong Peng. Dong Fei was of course overjoyed when he saw it, but when the news was sent to the camp of the young marshal army by the fast horse, Xiang Kang was very worried, and he didn't understand why his heroic second uncle used the Qin army's best battle to fight the Qin army.

What made Xiang Kang even more unexpected and even more happy for Dong Peng was still behind, after forming a battle formation, it was Xiang Liang who attacked first! As soon as the formation was established, Xiang Liang immediately dispatched two thousand cavalry on the right flank of the Chu army to launch an assault, Dong Fei was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers of the Qin army to stabilize their positions and prepare enough bows and crossbows in advance to meet Xiang Liang's charging cavalry.

To Dong Peng's surprise, the cavalry of the Chu army, under the guidance of a general banner with the word 'Xiang', directly bypassed the Qin army's tight battle formation, rushed in a roundabout way, and directly killed the Qin army camp behind the Qin army's battle array. And after being stunned for a moment, Dong Fei immediately sneered and said, "Want to take advantage of the situation to attack my camp and disturb my army's morale?" Go if you like, and see how my rear army picks up your thief cavalry. ”

Dong Fei does have this self-confidence, because the Takahashi saddle and stirrup have not yet been invented in this era, and the cavalry of this era can only rely on one hand to hold the reins of the horse and the other hand to hold the weapon to fight, and the combat effectiveness is actually not strong, so the cavalry of this era is usually used as an auxiliary army, and it is difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of assault. Therefore, even though the camp of the Qin army was still being established and there were flaws everywhere, Dong Fei's heart was not panicked at all, and the rear army of the Qin army, which was rushing to build the camp, was not panicked, and quickly assembled with great calmness, ready to teach the Chu cavalry who dared to rush directly into the camp a hard lesson. But......

But what Dong Fei and the Qin army didn't expect was that this Chu cavalry, which was even wearing armor with men and horses, was not only far more powerful than they imagined, but also so powerful that they didn't dare to imagine it. The spear of the Chu general had already stabbed like lightning, like a string of sugar gourds, directly piercing the bodies of the two Qin soldiers, and when the spears flicked again, the bodies of the two Qin soldiers flew out horizontally, and smashed several Qin soldiers and soldiers, shouting loudly, "Who else?!" ”

"Oh my God! What kind of strength is this? ”

When countless Qin soldiers let out terrifying screams, the cavalry of the Chu army had already killed one after another, either dismounted and fought on foot, or directly rode on horses to fight, wielding spears and halberds to fight the Qin army with great ferocity, killing the frightened Qin soldiers backwards, screaming constantly, almost unimagining that there was such a fierce enemy in the world.

In fact, the greatest psychological pressure on the soldiers of the Qin Army is still the Chu Army general who is so powerful that it is not like he was raised by his parents, wearing heavy armor and riding on a black horse, the Chu general is extremely arrogant and only swings the spear with one hand, but every time the spear is poked out, it can directly pierce the chest of one or two Qin soldiers and soldiers, and every time he kills a person, he roars, "Who else?!" ”

There were also a few soldiers of the Qin army who were confident in martial arts and resolutely met the Chu general, but they were all fighting but they couldn't get together, and they were immediately pierced through the body by the Chu general's spear, screaming and falling in a pool of blood. One of the powerful Qin army commanders took advantage of the opportunity of the Chu general's return spear, suddenly discarded his weapon and grabbed the Chu general's spear with both hands, in a vain attempt to pull him off the war horse, but the Chu general raised the spear with one hand, and actually lifted the Qin army commander directly into the air, and then smashed it down, directly using the body of the Qin army commander to smash the other two Qin soldiers, "Who else?!" ”

A sheep led by a lion can beat a lion herd led by a sheep, and the cavalry of the Chu army, which is more fierce and powerful than a lion, is obviously a carefully selected elite soldier, under the leadership of the Chu general, the cavalry of the Chu army with fewer enemies and more indomitable spirits, like a tiger rushing into the flock, rampage in the Qin army array, like entering no man's land, killing the Qin army's rear army all over the field, and the flesh and blood are splashed.

"Who else?!"

Hearing this lion-like roar, countless Qin army soldiers had already been directly weak before they could engage in battle, and then saw that the Chu general with the Chu cavalry directly towards his banner to kill, and the Dong Fei generals who stayed in the camp were even more distracted, and they just urged the troops around them to step forward and stop the Chu army cavalry generals who were as fierce as ghosts and gods. It's a pity that it's useless, but none of the soldiers of the Qin army who dared to stop in front of the Chu general were not stabbed to death, and they were completely buried under the fire of the Chu general.

Finally, seeing that the Chu general was about to kill in front of him, the Dong Fei general who stayed in the camp could no longer resist the fear in his heart, suddenly screamed, turned his horse's head and fled to the rear, and the rear army of the Qin army also collapsed instantly, shouting and fleeing everywhere, but the Chu general was merciless, seeing the opportunity for a surprise attack, he suddenly rushed to the back of the embarrassed Dong Fei general, and stabbed out with a one-handed spear with an arrogant face, and directly pierced the back of the heart of the Dong Fei general, "Who else?!" ”

At this time, of course, Dong Fei had also found that the situation was not good, in order to prevent the collapse of the rear army from affecting his military morale, Dong Fei could only quickly urge the soldiers on both wings to step forward, in a vain attempt to break Xiang Liang's battle formation and turn the tide of the battle again.

Xiang Liang waited for the Qin army to take the initiative to attack, and after ordering the whole army to stabilize its position, Xiang Liang stopped speaking, and just waited for the Qin army to come and die with a smile on his face, but the Chu soldiers did not disappoint Xiang Liang. And then, the battle formation of the Chu army was still motionless, like an iron wall full of spikes, not only standing like a mountain, but also stabbing the Qin soldiers who forcibly charged the formation to the point that their heads were bleeding and fell to the ground one after another.

The two wings could not move, and the rear army was being wantonly slaughtered by the cavalry of the Chu army, Dong Fei and the Qin soldiers of the Chinese army were of course more panicked and panicked, and what made Dong Fei even more distressed was that seeing that the Chu army had the upper hand, Yingbu in Suiyang City also decisively sent troops and ran to help with his own army. As a result, when he met with the general of the Chu army who was riding a black horse, Yingbu, who had already witnessed his bravery, did not dare to slack off, and immediately clasped his fists on the horse, and said loudly: "In Xia Yingbu, dare to ask the general's surname." ”

"Xiang Yu." General Chu replied very simply, and pointed at the battle formation of the Qin army in the distance with a spear that had long been stained with blood, and said: "I don't need your help here, if you really want to help me, take your army to attack the back of the Tyrant Qin phalanx, as long as you can entangle the Tyrant Qin rear team for me and create a surprise opportunity for me, I can disrupt the battle formation of the Tyrant Qin army." ”

If someone else said such a thing, even if Xiang Kang said such a thing, Yingbu would definitely think that he was bragging, because at this moment, the Qin army still has a very large number of more than 20,000 troops, but since Xiang Yu said such a big thing, and has already witnessed Xiang Yu's heroism, Yingbu did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Okay! I'm going to act as a striker for the general! ”

After that, Yingbu gave a loud order, and really took his army to Xiang Yu as cannon fodder, and attacked the battle formation of the Qin army that was still very strict for Xiang Yu. Xiang Kang's overlord cousin, Xiang Yu, calmly sorted out the cavalry and waited for Yingbu to create an assault opportunity for himself.

Even if it was facing the enemy head-on, the Qin army's battle formation was still very tight for the protection behind it, and at least twenty small phalanxes of 100 people were facing the rear, so when the British army launched an attack, it was still attacked by the Qin army's bow and crossbow, and it took a lot of casualties to finally rush to the close to start a hand-to-hand battle with the Qin army, and to a certain extent, the formation of the Qin army was confused. Xiang Yu saw the opportunity and decisively led the regrouped cavalry of the Chu army to charge, directly killing the enemy who was more than ten times his number.

"Who else?!"

Still roaring like thunder, still invincible, under the leadership of Xiang Yu, the cavalry of the Chu army descended the mountain like a tiger, and directly rushed the five Qin army hundred people phalanx at once, just like chopping melons and cutting vegetables to slaughter the Qin soldiers, Yingbu was heartbroken by Xiang Yu's momentum, and led the army to also rush and fight, and Xiang Yu joined forces to gradually disrupt the rear of the Qin army, forcing Dong Fei to divide his troops and fight, blocking the group of terrifying enemies behind him who were like crazy demons.

At this time, Xiang Liang, who had obtained the true biography of his father Xiang Yan, was still standing still, just smiling and just carefully observing the battlefield and peeking at every subtle change on the battlefield. As a result, when the Qin army on the right-flank battlefield retreated slightly because it could not be attacked for a long time, Xiang Liang asked his own soldiers to wave the order flag and ordered the right-wing Chu army to launch a counterattack.

Xiang Liang seized the fighter very accurately, and the flank Qin army who took the initiative to retreat was already timid in his heart, and then saw the right-wing Chu army on the opposite side launch a counterattack, and his heart was inevitably even more panicked. Even the Qin army on the other wing was also affected by psychology, and involuntarily slowed down the offensive, Xiang Liang decisively urged the soldiers on the right wing to step forward, and quickly grasped the initiative of the two wings.

The balance of victory is obviously tilting in favor of the Chu army, the rear team has been disrupted, and the two wings are obviously at a disadvantage, Dong Fei of course understands that if this continues, his army will undoubtedly be defeated, and in desperation, Dong Fei can only quickly send people back to the camp to ask Zhang Han for help, asking Zhang Han to send troops to reinforce himself, and at the same time, he is ready to retreat early.

Fast horse sent the news to the Qin army camp, Zhang Han was so surprised that he could hardly believe his ears, and said in a loud voice: "How is it possible? How can it be? Xiang Liang is a traitor, how can he defeat our army in a battle? ”

"General, this is not too strange." Sima Xin said: "General, don't forget, Xiang Liang is the son of Xiang Yan, a famous general of the old Chu, who has been familiar with military books since he was a child, proficient in battle formations, and went to the battlefield with Xiang Yan when he was young, and must have obtained Xiang Yan's true biography, so he is not only good at battle battles, maybe he is more proficient in battle than us." ”

"Then why didn't you say it yesterday?" Zhang Han asked angrily.

"Damn it, I forgot about it yesterday." Sima Xin bowed his head and pleaded guilty, and said: "I also blame Xiang Kang for being a traitor and playing tricks, never fighting in formations, and our army has never suffered losses in battles, so the subordinates forgot to think about this yesterday and failed to remind the general in time." ”

"Alas!" Zhang Han sighed and slammed his fist on the case, and he regretted that he knew that Xiang Liang was the son of Xiang Yan, a famous general of the Chu State, but he forgot to beware that Xiang Liang might be very proficient in battle battles. But now it was too late to say anything, and in desperation, Zhang Han could only quickly send Shi Cheng to lead an army of 20,000 to attack, and hurried to the eastern suburbs of Suiyang to pick up Dong Peng.

"Who else?!"

At the same time, there was another roar of a tiger and a wolf, and another Qin soldier whose chest was pierced by a spear fell from the sky, smashing a Qin soldier directly unconscious, Xiang Yu's eyes widened angrily, and he went to find the next slaughter target. It's a pity that the soldiers of the Qin army standing in front of Xiang Yu were not fooled, and they just retreated frantically, desperately trying to stay away from this Shura killing god, and many Qin soldiers also screamed directly, "Ghost god!" The ghosts and gods are coming! ”

Xiang Liang's side, seeing that the Qin army on the right flank was about to be overwhelmed, Xiang Liang waved the flag, and two teams of 1,000 people immediately rushed out of the Chinese army's formation, rushed into the battlefield on the right flank to strengthen the attack, and the frightened Qin army on the right flank had no intention of resisting anymore, and immediately broke up and fled. Xiang Liang smiled slightly, and then ordered: "Beat the drum, the Chinese army advances." Give an order to the right wing, let them go around the back of the Tyrant Qin battle array, and assist Yu'er to attack the back of the Tyrant Qin. ”
