Liu Laosan and Liji saw that the situation of Han Xinjun's camp was not good, and they were already mentally prepared to slip away overnight, but Han Xin, who bore the brunt of the attack, did not despair, because Han Xin was very confident in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command, and believed that even if the camp gate was broken, the soldiers of the Nanyang Army, who were brave, tenacious and tenacious and good at fighting, may not be without hope that they could use the Great Wall of Flesh and Blood to block the crazy attack of the Han army and survive until the favorable retreat time when it was dark.

"Even if you can't stop it, at least you can break a lot of the thief's teeth! Consume a considerable part of the elite of the Han thieves! This is the worst plan Han Shin has ever made.

Liu Laosan and Han Xin jointly trained the officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Army did not disappoint Han Xin, just saw the Han army charge, was smashed by trebuchets and suffered heavy casualties on the first line of the Nanyang Army soldiers immediately forgot their fear and nervousness, quickly came out of hiding place to gather, and then under the command of Xi Juan, the general of the Nanyang Army who commanded the first line of the army, quickly entered the combat post, clenched his weapons and gritted his teeth and waited for the Han army to rush to the front, and the remaining Nanyang Army soldiers on the wall immediately opened their bows and crossbows, cast feather arrows, and made every effort to suppress the charging momentum of the Han army.

During this period, the Han army trebuchet that had not had time to adjust the direction of the stone throwing smashed more than a dozen boulders, and most of them smashed into the Nanyang Army blocking position, causing a lot of casualties to the soldiers of the Nanyang Army who were hurriedly assembled, and the Han Army crossbowmen behind the long shield also desperately released arrows, and in turn suppressed the long-range firepower of the Nanyang Army, but still did not shake the determination of the Nanyang Army soldiers to defend the gap in the camp gate.

Fortunately, as Han Xin was worried about, after a few Han army trebuchets that had not had time to adjust the direction of the stone sling, they smashed the boulder, and sure enough, they easily smashed a Nanyang Army's Saimen knife car into a part state, and basically shattered the Nanyang Army's hope that the camp gate would be temporarily and completely blocked by relying on the Saimen knife car.

This still did not shake the determination of the Nanyang army soldiers, the Han army soldiers just rushed to the camp gate near the door, the remaining Saimen knife car has been deployed in place, the Nanyang army soldiers also immediately lined up in the remaining gaps, the front row of soldiers held the sword and shield, the back row of soldiers clenched their spears and fought Ge, waiting for the Han army to rush to the hand-to-hand combat position with a resolute expression, and the Nanyang soldiers on the camp were also like crazy, desperately facing the Han soldiers with bows and arrows.

As usual, the Han soldiers still used the primitive grenade to disturb the enemy's dense queue, and the loud noise and flames made by the primitive grenade when it exploded at close range really caused a lot of confusion to the Nanyang soldiers, and the Han warriors took the opportunity to step forward with their spears, and fiercely stabbed the Nanyang soldiers who temporarily confused the formation, and quickly came back to their senses and kept calm Nanyang soldiers fought back decisively and fiercely, and a cruel and bloody battle was also launched at the camp gate of the Nanyang army camp.

All kinds of roars have long filled the scene, and the spears and swords that are constantly coming and going with the sound of the wind splash blood, and at any time there are iron knives that fall, axes are chopped, and the blood brought up is sprinkled on the battlefield one after another, and the two sergeants and soldiers have completely forgotten their fears and fears, and only know how to desperately greet each other with their weapons, and the warriors in front fall, and the companions behind immediately make up for it, and the collision of gold and iron, armor and flesh is endless.

During this period, the soldiers of the Han army also used the trench bridge car brought by the army, urgently paved a number of trench roads on the trenches on both sides of the camp gate, and the Han soldiers who carried the flying ladder forward rushed directly to the base, and set up the flying ladder on the base to launch an ant-attached charge, and also relied on the gap smashed by the trebuchet of the army, rushed to the wall one after another, and launched a fierce battle with the enemy on the wall.

If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers of the Han Army were equipped with primitive grenades that disturbed the enemy, it would be difficult for the front team of the Han Army to break through the dense horizontal formation of the Nanyang Army with more than a dozen columns, and although the officers and men of the Nanyang Army had long been repeatedly instilled with the situation of the primitive grenades of the Han Army by their superiors, they knew that this kind of thing was just a scary sound and flame, but in fact it was not very powerful, but the normal reaction of the human body, after the primitive grenade of the Han Army exploded directly near the side and even in the ear, the officers and men of the Nanyang Army still reacted reflexively, or subconsciously dodged and retreated. Or was stunned by the loud noise, and even the eardrums were directly broken and bleeding, coupled with the Han soldiers throwing one after another at the expense of blood, the dense horizontal team of the Nanyang army still could not remain intact as usual, and the soldiers of the Han army took the opportunity to rush and kill one after another, after all, they still did not give the Nanyang soldiers the opportunity to completely block the camp gate with all kinds of sundries, and protected the road of the rear army.

At this time, the slow-moving Han army heavy armor soldiers have also slowly come to the camp gate, and launched an attack on the camp gate crowded with two soldiers, and the Nanyang soldiers who can still free their hands on the wall are desperately releasing arrows at them, but the bronze arrows shoot at the body of the Han army's heavy armor soldiers, but at most they can only splash some sparks, and even the opportunity to nail them to the Han army's steel armor does not exist, and they fall directly to the ground.

Seeing this situation, of course, the officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Army on the wall exclaimed, "Monster! Monster! The monster is coming! It's a pity that such a shout was completely drowned in the huge shouting and killing, and it did not immediately arouse the vigilance of Xi Juan and other generals of the Nanyang Army, and Han Xin was also unable to find the danger at the first time because of the distance.

Taking this opportunity, the heavy armor soldiers of the Han army are getting closer and closer to the camp gate, and the Han soldiers and soldiers who are blocking in front of them have given way, and the Nanyang soldiers who stick to the door return that it is the stubborn resistance of the own army that has played a role, and they stabbed and killed even more frantically, in a vain attempt to completely disperse the enemy in front of them and buy time to block the camp gate.

Finally, Zhang Zhong, the brave general of the Han army, was the first to rush to the front of the Nanyang soldiers, and then before Zhang Zhong could raise the steel spear, several spears had already stabbed at him at the same time, and a war warrior pecked fiercely at his helmet, which was enough to break stones!

The sound of gold and iron was endless, and those Nanyang soldiers who stabbed with spears immediately saw in disbelief that after their bronze spears stabbed Zhang Zhong's body, they only splashed a string of sparks, leaving some traces on Zhang Zhong's armor, not afraid that a spear could penetrate the armor and hurt Zhang Zhong after the armor, pecked the bronze battle of Zhang Zhong's helmet, and was also directly bounced away, and he was also unable to peck through the helmet.

Before these Nanyang soldiers screamed, the steel spear in Zhang Zhong's hand had already been stabbed out fiercely, and without much effort, he directly pierced the leather armor on the chest of a Nanyang sergeant, and directly pierced through the chest.

The heavy armored soldiers of the Han army behind also rushed up one after another, dancing with all-steel weapons, slaughtering the enemy on the opposite side as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, and they were all only attacking and not defending, ignoring the enemy weapons that stabbed them one after another, and then it was also at this time that the Nanyang sergeants and soldiers burst into panic shouts in the crowd, "Monster!" Monsters that can't be killed! ”

"Monsters that can't be killed? What do you mean? ”

Hearing the shouts and finding that the situation was not good, Xi Juan, the general of the Nanyang Army who commanded the front-line army, hurriedly took a closer look at the situation ahead, but the crowd of soldiers in front was too dense, Xi Juan could only see that the warriors of the Nanyang Army under his command were like touching the tide of the reef, constantly opening to both sides, and a Han army flag was like a sharp blade, easily advancing towards the self-military camp, but in a moment it had already rushed into the self-military camp twenty or thirty steps.

"Overseer team, give it to Lao Tzu! Those who dare to retreat will be killed! ”

According to Xi Juan's order, the Nanyang military supervision team carrying the Xueliang axe immediately stepped forward quickly, forcing the Nanyang soldiers who were retreating in panic to come forward to fight again, although this also received certain results, but it was still unable to resist the stride of the Han army's heavy armor soldiers, and the Han army's heavy armor soldiers whose defensive power was close to the full level were always only attacking but not defending, while striding forward, they were extremely fierce and greeted the enemy in front of them, and easily slaughtered the Nanyang army soldiers who were still in the tail of the Bronze Age. The soldiers of the Han army in the back took the opportunity to pour into the camp one after another, occupying a large area of space in the Nanyang military camp.

"What's going on?" Han Xin, who was commanding on the high ground in the camp, also saw that the situation was not good, and said extremely strangely: "How can the attack of the Han thieves be so fierce? Our soldiers can't stop it? Xi Juan is not usually so incompetent, huh? ”

At this time, Xi Juan, who was very trusted by Han Xin, finally saw the general situation of the Han army's heavy armor soldiers, and was surprised by the combat effectiveness of the Han army's heavy armor soldiers, Xi Juan not only refused to give up, but also personally led his direct army to charge, roaring and rushing to the front line, "Follow me!" Kill me the thief out of the camp! ”

It was also Xi Juan's bad luck, when he rushed to the front line, he happened to meet Zhang Zhong, a martial arts expert who can be counted on his fingers in this era, although relying on the advantage of weight, Xi Juan stabbed Zhang Zhong's chest with a spear, and poked a small hole in Zhang Zhong's steel armor with an iron spear, but still failed to pierce the steel armor on Zhang Zhong's body, and the steel spear in Zhang Zhong's hand took the opportunity to stab Xi Juan's chest with the same spear, making a crisp sound, not to mention, but also directly pierced the bronze armor on Xi Juan's body, straight into Xi Juan's chest.

Thanks to the blocking of the bronze armor, Zhang Zhong's spear did not directly kill Xi Juan, but after Zhang Zhong pulled out the spear, the blood still flowed directly from the gap in Xi Juan's armor, and Xi Juan finally shouted in a distraught, "Oh my God! What kind of armor is this? Can't even pierce me? ”

Before the words fell, Zhang Zhong's second spear had already stabbed again, broke through the armor again, and left a wound on Xi Juan's body, Xi Juan no longer had the courage to fight, and quickly retreated sharply, and his own soldiers also surged up very loyally, temporarily blocking Zhang Zhong with flesh and blood, giving Xi Juan time to retreat and flee for his life, but as the heavy armored soldiers of the Han army followed one after another, the loyal and brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives to protect Xi Juan quickly died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Han army.

Even Xi Juan himself and his well-equipped pro-soldier team can't stop the heavy armor soldiers of the Han army, of course, not to mention the other Nanyang soldiers, under the leading charge of the Han army's heavy armor soldiers, the Han army's offensive is like a knife cutting tofu, unstoppable, but in a moment, more than 2,000 Han soldiers in the front team all entered the Nanyang military camp, and then Long He also personally led the army to kill in, completely shattering the wishful thinking of the Nanyang army to block the attack of the Han army with flesh and blood.

On the other side, the trebuchet of the Han army also easily smashed open the left door of the north camp of the Nanyang Army, and the soldiers of the Han Army who were later put into the front line entered the camp from the left gate, exerting more pressure on the officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Army who were sticking to the outer camp, forcing Zhou Bo to quickly lead the Nanyang Army reserves to join the battlefield and buy time for the Nanyang Army commanded by Han Xin.

Xi Juan, who was seriously injured, was also quickly brought back to Han Xin's face, and after knowing what had happened and the general situation of the Han army's heavy armor soldiers, Han Xin's face turned blue and black, and he said after a while: "The crime of non-war is that our weapons and equipment are too far apart from the Han thieves, let alone me, even if Sun Wu is reborn and Wu Qi is reincarnated, there is no way to win this battle!" ”

"General, what should we do next?" Lu Jia asked in fear.

Han Xin didn't answer, but quickly looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun in the sky was in the sky, the time was only noon, and the time left for the Han army was still very sufficient, Han Xin's heart couldn't help but hesitate, and said secretly: "What should I do?" At this time, abandon the camp and retreat, the thieves will definitely chase and kill with all their might, it is difficult for us to safely transfer to the king's camp or Yexian City, continue to resist senselessly, we still can't escape the fiasco, and we are not even sure if we can escape smoothly. ”

After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Han Xin still found that the sooner he slipped away, the more sure he was of keeping as many troops as possible, so he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and immediately ordered: "Go and give an order to the defenders of Ye County, telling them to prepare to welcome our defeated troops into the city." Then I will report to the king, and ask the king to be ready to welcome our defeated army back to the camp. Send people to contact the troops in the camp, and abandon the camp and retreat together on the fire of the Chinese army's big tent. Also, go get some sets of soldiers' clothes. ”

The Chinese army camp that was not damaged by the Han army's trebuchet bought Han Xin enough time to prepare, first several sets of soldiers were quickly sent to Han Xin, so that Han Xin and Lu Jia and others quickly replaced, and then Han Xin's order was quickly passed to the Nanyang army generals who could still be contacted, and finally the Nanyang soldiers had just ignited Han Xin's Chinese army tent, and the inner and outer camp doors of the Nanyang army were opened together, and the generals of the Nanyang army who saw the signal also immediately abandoned the camp and left, and escaped from the camp with a roll. Then he fled to Yexian Chengchi and Liu Laosan's camp in the south.

"Fuck it! Run so fast! ”

Seeing this situation in the banner array of the Han army, Xiang Kang first scolded a swear word, and then immediately ordered Guan Ying and Zhong Liwu to lead the army to launch a pursuit, and stood up nervously to see the escape of the Nanyang army, and when he saw that the crowd of the Nanyang army had just fled to the north gate of Ye County, and the defenders of Ye County immediately opened the door to respond, Xiang Kang also immediately understood that today I am afraid that I can only win a defeat battle at most.

Finally seized the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Nanyang Army, of course Xiang Kang refused to give up, and said that he would not watch Liu Laosan and Han Xin slip away from him, after a little calculation, Xiang Kang pointed to the Han Army Ding Ji Department who was responsible for monitoring and containing the Western Chu Army in the west, and ordered: "Go and give Ding Ji an order, tell him to divide half of his forces, join the pursuit battle, try to kill the Nanyang thief army who fled out of the camp, and the remaining half of the army, withdraw to the main formation and return to the team." ”

After that, Xiang Kang asked his own soldiers to bring a silk pen, and it was very rare to personally pick up the pen, and quickly wrote a short letter on the silk: "This king swears to the spirit of the ancestor Xiang Yangong and his uncle Xiang Lianggong in the sky, if you lead the army to retreat first and give this king a chance to take revenge on the Nanyang thief army, this king will never send troops to chase and kill you!" If you are obsessed and insist on continuing to guard the camp, or retreat with the Nanyang thief army, or even give the Nanyang thief army the queen palace, this king will never spare you! Han King Xiang Kang! ”

After writing this letter, Xiang Kang also personally stamped his jade seal on this letter, and then handed the letter to Chen Ping, and instructed: "Send a eloquent messenger to contact the Western Chu thief army, and clearly tell Li Ji that this time this king only wants to settle accounts with the Nanyang thief army, if he is smart and runs first, this king will definitely fulfill his promise not to chase and kill his army!" If he is obsessed and insists on giving the Nanyang thief army a burial, he will be responsible for all the consequences! His family won't be spared in the future! ”

Chen Ping agreed, and quickly selected a eloquent messenger from his command, and instructed him face-to-face, asking him to immediately go to the camp of the Western Chu Army to contact Liji, and persuade Liji to flee first and not to bury the Nanyang Army. Xiang Kang quickly sent someone to order the Han army camp, so that the rear army left behind in the camp immediately began to prepare torches and dry food, and was ready to pursue the army overnight.

Because the Han army never launched an attack on the camp of the Western Chu army, even when the two armies were fighting, the envoy of the Han army also entered the camp of the Western Chu army quite smoothly, and presented Xiang Kang's handwritten letter to Liji, and then needless to say, Xiang Kang's credit was already extremely good, and seeing Xiang Kang solemnly swear in the honor of his ancestor Xiang Yan and his second uncle Xiang Liang, Li Ji was of course secretly happy in his heart, knowing that Xiang Kang's breach of his word must be very small. However, of course, it was impossible for Li Ji to directly agree to the Han army envoy for such a thing, so he just waved his hand to the Han army envoy who was trying to persuade him, and ordered: "I know, you can go." ”

Let's take a look at the situation on Han Xin's side, because the preparation is the most complete, after abandoning the camp and retreating, Han Xin and his direct army were of course the first to flee to the nearest Yexian North Gate City, and they were almost the first to rush into Yexian County to avoid the pursuit of the Han army, so although the Han army also took the opportunity of the Nanyang army's hasty retreat, a large number of soldiers of the Nanyang army were eliminated in the pursuit battle, and the defeated soldiers of the Nanyang army were killed all over the field, and the blood was pouring down, and they never touched Han Xin's hair.

Then it was not as expected by Han Xin, because there was not enough time, and the Nanyang army camp that protected the north gate of Ye County was difficult to quickly raze to the ground, and the counterweight trebuchet of the Han army could not get close to the north gate of Ye County to throw stones, and the Han army really did not launch an attack today, but only tried to eliminate the enemy in the field, and did not even attack the camp of the Western Chu army in the west, and quickly withdrew to the camp to rest. Han Xin also hurried out of the city from the south gate of Ye County and rushed to the Nanyang army camp outside the south gate to meet Liu Laosan.

"King, the trebuchet of the Han thieves is far more powerful than we imagined, it is impossible to hold here in Yexian for a long time, only by retreating quickly and keeping our army, we can hope to hold on to the city by city and win the time for the king of Western Chu to personally lead the army to help."

This was Han Xin's first sentence when he saw Liu Laosan, and Liu Laosan, who had already made up his mind to escape, did not hesitate, and immediately said: "How to evacuate?" With the cunning of Xiang Kang's traitors, it is impossible to expect that we will retreat overnight, we must have been prepared to pursue for a long time, and the strength of the Han thieves is far above us, if we pursue with all our might, even if we can withdraw from the Yexian battlefield, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, how to solve this problem? ”

"Your Majesty has a solution." Han Xin replied in a deep voice: "But the stakes are very high, and I have to ask the king to make a decision." ”

"What's the solution? So hard to decide? Liu Laosan asked.

"Sacrifice the Western Chu Army!" Han Xin replied in a low voice: "Use a trick to trick the Western Chu army into giving us the queen of our palace and give us time to retreat." ”

Liu Laosan laughed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "What's so difficult to decide? Liji is not the son of this king, why hesitate to sacrifice him? The great thing is that the king suffers a little loss, accepts him as a righteous son, and asks him to do his filial piety for the king. Say, how can I make the king's righteous son Li fulfill his filial piety? ”
