The new hatred and old hatred made Xiang Yu's blood surge, and at the same time, the remnants of reason also told Xiang Yu that there was not much time left for him, his injuries were getting worse, and his camp was not all built, if the Han army was allowed to continue to wear down day and night, even if the soldiers of the Western Chu army could hold the camp without losing, he himself would have to be consumed by the Han army, and if he fell, the Western Chu army would be completely finished.

Therefore, Xiang Yu had no choice but to grit his teeth and make up his mind, and temporarily decided to launch a decisive battle in the Surabaya Pavilion, which was no less well-known than the Surabaya Pavilion under the wall, gamble on the national fortune of Western Chu, and fight to the death with Xiang Kang, the scum cousin who took advantage of the fire.

Out of personal interests, although he knew that there was little hope, Liu Laosan still chose to support Xiang Yu to make this decision, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to offend Xiang Zhuang and others who were connected with Xiang Yu's flesh and blood, and blocked a way for himself to retreat less and less, and at the same time, Liu Laosan also had to make up his mind early, and decided that as long as he saw that the situation was not good, he would quickly take his Peixian friends to flee south, and go to Huainan and Jiangdong, where the Han army is still out of reach, to continue to find hope for a comeback.

To Liu Laosan's surprise, when he returned to his army to arrange for his soldiers to prepare for a decisive battle, he hurriedly told Han Xin about Xiang Yu's decision by the way, Han Xin actually nodded and said: "The king has not yet arrived home in a daze, and at this time, we may have a greater hope of winning." ”

"Do you think we have hope?" Liu Laosan's question was obviously a little lacking in confidence.

"Of course there is hope, and it's not small." Han Xin immediately replied: "First of all, the first point, Uncle Zhou has already led the Han thief army that participated in the battle last night to collect troops and return to the camp to rest, it will definitely be difficult to make a comeback in a short period of time, send troops to reinforce Xiang Kang traitor, we can concentrate on dealing with Xiang Kang's traitor army within a certain period of time, we don't have to worry about the threat of reinforcements from Zhou Shu Pifu, and we have also invisibly avoided the strength advantage of the Han thief." ”

"Second, no matter how treacherous Xiang Kang's traitors are, it is difficult to predict that they just used wheel warfare to spend a day and a night with us, and they actually forced our king to launch a full-scale decisive battle.

"Third, the terrain in this area of Surabaya Pavilion is favorable to us." Han Xin continued: "The long and narrow terrain makes it difficult for the Han thieves to deploy their troops, and also limits the space for the activities of the Han thieves' defeated troops, and the main force of our Western Chu Army is the best at launching a surprise attack, which means that as long as we defeat the front team of the Han thieves, we can expel the scattered defeated soldiers of the Han thieves as the vanguard, impact the squadron and rear of the Han thieves, and directly smash the Han thief banner formation." ”

"As long as we succeed in doing this, we can destroy the banner formation of the Han thieves at the worst, so that the Han thieves will be completely defeated without a leader, and win a big victory in a field battle. If you are a little lucky, it is not hopeless to directly take down the head of Xiang Kang's traitor and reverse the situation in the world in one fell swoop. ”

Hearing that Han Xin was reasonable, Liu Laosan also had a little confidence, nodded and said: "I hope so, do you have any good tactical suggestions for this decisive battle?" ”

"Yes!" Han Xin replied categorically, and then said: "Pei Gong, you have to give it a try no matter what, persuade the king to just prepare for a decisive battle first, and you must not rush to lead the army out of the camp to line up, when the Han thieves first line up the formation and send troops to attack our camp, we will suddenly send troops to meet the attack, entangle the front team of the Han thieves, lure the Han thieves to send reinforcements, and then urgently go out of the camp to arrange an assault formation, and finally launch a decisive battle with the Han thieves." ”

"Why?" Liu Laosan asked in surprise: "Since we are going to assault the banner formation of the Han thieves, why do we have to let the Han thieves line up first?" Doesn't that make it more difficult for us to assault? ”

"Pei Gong, it seems that you are a smart one, and you are confused for a while." Han Xin smiled and said: "Since the Han thieves are here to attack the camp, the formation lined up must be mainly attacking, and the main forces will not be used for frontal defense, which is convenient for us to launch a frontal assault." But if we send troops to deploy the formation first, Xiang Kang traitors will definitely immediately understand that our king has jumped over the wall in a hurry, and he will definitely let the Han thief army take a defensive position to buy time for reinforcements from his rear team, wouldn't this situation only be unfavorable to us? ”

"That's right! That's the reason, in order to facilitate the attack on the camp, Xiang Kang's traitors will definitely not take a defensive position when arranging the formation! Liu Laosan suddenly woke up and applauded, and hurriedly said: "There is another advantage to this, that is, Xiang Kang's traitors will definitely not immediately send people to contact Uncle Zhou's husband, so that Uncle Zhou's puppet will immediately take the Han thief's rear army to the south for reinforcements, which can win us more time and Xiang Kang's traitors to fight a decisive battle alone, and add more hope for us to win." ”

"It's more than that." Han Xin smiled again and said: "When we suddenly leave the camp, not only can we immediately entangle the front team of the Han thief's attack camp, but Xiang Kang's traitor will definitely immediately increase the front team battlefield in order to buy him time to change the formation, and when the time comes, as long as we defeat the front team of the Han thief, we can expel more Han thieves as the vanguard, and more effectively impact the Han thief position." ”

"I'll go see the king right away." Liu Laosan immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered: "The affairs of the army will be handed over to you, Zhou Bo, Cao Shenfan, Dog, you all listen to Han Xin's arrangement, there must be no mistakes!" ”

After that, Liu Laosan, who didn't dare to waste time, hurriedly rushed to the camp of the Chinese army to persuade Xiang Yu to adopt Han Xin's tactical plan to launch this decisive battle, and Han Xin was methodically commanding the army to prepare for war instead of Liu Laosan, and said with a sneer: "Xiang Kang traitor, I heard that after you were personally taught by Xiang Liang, your ability to fight in battle has greatly improved, and you are no longer afraid of battle like a tiger when you first started the army. ”

Still came to see Liu Laosan's side, and after successfully meeting Xiang Yu, who trusted him more and more, Liu Laosan of course immediately told Xiang Yu about Han Xin's suggestion, not to mention the result, Xiang Yu was confused and impulsive in other aspects, but he was talented for the battle assault, so after listening to Han Xin's suggestion, Xiang Yu just thought about it a little, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "That's it!" Don't be in a hurry to get out of the camp first, wait for Xiang Kang's traitor to line up the offensive formation first! ”

…………

It's time to take a look at the situation on the side of Xiang Kang, the final boss of the Han army, which is not bad for the Han army, although Xiang Kang and the decision-makers of the Han army really did not expect that the Han army's wheel warfare tactics only took one day and one night, and forced the poor Western Chu overlord Xiang Yu to only launch a decisive battle, but for the sake of prudence, Xiang Kang, who was strong in strength and greedy for life and afraid of death, still brought 150,000 troops to replace Uncle Zhou to continue to attack the camp this time, of which more than 60,000 troops were still the new force of the Han army that did not participate in the battle yesterday, Therefore, the Han army not only had an advantage over the Western Chu army in terms of strength, but also had an obvious advantage in the physical strength of the soldiers.

However, Xiang Kang's next choice was indeed expected by Han Xin, and after leading the army to arrive near the camp of the Western Chu Army, in order to facilitate the attack, Xiang Kang really chose the army battle formation based on attack, so that the 110,000 troops arranged ten 10,000 phalanxes five miles north of the Western Chu Army camp, and the first six and five were divided into two army formations, and the distance between the phalanxes was quite wide, which was convenient for the army to advance and retreat, and was responsible for taking turns to launch the attack, which was the main force of the Han army. The remaining 40,000 troops were arranged in a field shape, responsible for protecting Xiang Kang's banner array, and also serving as the general reserve of the whole army. Generally speaking, the offense is stronger than the defense, but it is not careless to underestimate the enemy, but because of the terrain restrictions, there is not much room for maneuver changes.

After the formation was arranged, like yesterday's tactics, Xiang Kang still let the 20,000 troops in the middle of the front team be responsible for preventing the Western Chu army from attacking from the middle gate, and let the 20,000 troops on the left and right sides of the position each send 4,000 infantry with bows and crossbows and long shields to step forward, and set up temporary fortifications in the distance of the left and right gates of the front camp of the Western Chu army, covering the crossbowmen to release arrows to suppress the enemy on the base, and then officially launch an ant-attached attack, and continue to storm the left and right side gates of the front camp of the Western Chu army.

Xiang Kang was indeed a little careless, after the banner was played, the Han infantry attacking left and right had just marched forward in line with long shields and crossbows, Xiang Kang sat on the handsome seat, and greeted Chen Ping, Zhang Liang and Li Zuoche who came with the army: "Everyone, sit down and wait, there is no need to stand, for a while, it will be difficult for our ants to succeed." ”

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping agreed with a smile, and soon sat down to accompany Xiang Kang to chat, but Li Zuoche refused to sit down, and continued to look at the situation in the camp of the Western Chu Army with his hands behind his back, and then after a while, Li Zuoche, who was good at tactics, also found a little abnormality, and hurriedly said: "King, the situation seems to be a little wrong, our long shield team is about to enter the position, why hasn't the Western Chu Thief Army increased its troops yet?" I remember that our long shield team had just been dispatched yesterday, and the Western Chu Thief Army had already begun to increase the number of troops on the wall? ”

After glancing at the situation in the camp of the Western Chu Army, and seeing that there was indeed no situation of soldiers running on the wall of the Western Chu Army, Xiang Kang also felt a little surprised, and said, "Have you changed the commander?" Or is my brother calming down and planning to wait for our ant-attached army to come out and then increase the fortification? ”

"Be careful, King." Li Zuoche kindly reminded: "After all, the Western Chu thief army is a hundred-legged insect, and it is not dead, so it is better for us not to be careless and underestimate the enemy." ”

Of course, Xiang Kang has never been a person who underestimates the enemy, after feeling that something is wrong, Xiang Kang quickly stood up again, walked to the front of the flag array and Li Zuoche side by side to check the enemy's situation, the result is also a coincidence, Xiang Kang and Li Zuoche stood side by side, the Western Chu military camp is the drumbeat is loud, yesterday closed for a day and a night The left and right doors of the front camp of the Western Chu army were opened together, and each army charged out, and the surprise attack killed the Han army long shield team that had just entered the range of the defender's bow and crossbow, and the Han army long shield team that was caught off guard was also panicked.

"Raise the flag, the second and fifth teams in the front formation will step forward, catch the camp troops of the Western Chu army, and cover the retreat of our long shield team!"

Xiang Kang's reaction was once again expected by Han Xin, seeing that the Western Chu army actually sent troops to assault, Xiang Kang really made a decent choice, and immediately ordered the two 10,000 troops in the front to come forward to meet the battle, covering the relatively weak melee ability of the long shield team to retreat urgently, and also strive to entangle the enemy army out of the camp and win the opportunity to annihilate the enemy outside the camp.

Immediately afterwards, if the Western Chu Army and the Han Army were entangled on both flanks, and the Western Chu Army suddenly opened the middle gate and went out to camp for an assault, then needless to say, with Xiang Kang's command level, the third and fourth teams in the middle of the front line would definitely step forward to meet them without hesitation, and gradually fall into the tactical trap that Han Xin helped Xiang Yu arrange for Xiang Kang!

At the critical moment, Gou Xiangyun stood on Xiang Kang's side, and as soon as Xiang Kang's order was roared, Li Zuoche, who volunteered to serve as Xiang Kang's tactical staff officer, hurriedly shouted: "Don't worry! King, don't be in a hurry, the enemy situation is unknown, we had better not act rashly, this is easy to cause chaos! ”

"What then?" It's just that Xiang Kang, who has read the crash course in battles, hurriedly asked-there is no shame in this, Xiang Kang has not received systematic military education after all, and Liu Laosan's maximum command limit in history is only 100,000 people, and it is not uncommon for commanders in history to command too many troops but are in a hurry.

"Let our Longshield team fight on their own, even if there will be a loss, it will not matter to us." Li Zuoche sneered and said: "Your Majesty dares to bet that the Western Chu Army will take the initiative to attack this time, and it will definitely not be untargeted, and there will inevitably be a big plan!" As for the reason, it is also very simple, the Western Chu thief army must know very well that even if they succeed in the assault and kill and injure some of our crossbowmen and long shield bearers, they will not be able to turn the tide of the battle, on the contrary, it will only give us the opportunity to destroy their camping army. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Kang, who had strong capital, still nodded, and retracted the previous order to let the second and fifth teams in the front attack to meet the battle, and the main army did not move, allowing the soldiers of the Western Chu army to attack the long shield team of the Han army, and even if the long shield team with weak melee ability was quickly killed by the Western Chu army, he calmed down and ignored it.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Yu, a battle genius, and Han Xin, a soldier immortal, of course, both sighed at the same time, and both said, "How is it possible? Xiang Kang, that traitor, actually stood still? No, we finally took the initiative to leave the camp, he should have stepped forward immediately, right? ”

What surprised Xiang Yu and Han Xin even more was still behind, and it didn't take much time for the Han army long shield team that came forward left and right because the weapons were not good enough and the melee combat ability was slightly poor, and they were soon killed by the Western Chu army commandos who rushed out left and right and were forced to flee, the Han army still didn't make any moves, and let the army long shield team be chased and killed by the Western Chu army commando and fled, and they still resolutely stood still, as if Xiang Kang suddenly became blind, and he didn't see the Han army long shield soldiers who had been killed and wounded by the Western Chu army.

Of course, if Xiang Yu and Han Xin had clairvoyance and could see and hear the current situation in the Han army's flag array, then they wouldn't have any surprises - at this moment, in the Han army's flag array, it was Li Zuoche who quickly covered Xiang Kang's mouth, so he stopped Xiang Kang's order to let the first and sixth teams of the Han army's front come forward to answer - as for why Xiang Kang wanted to give this order, it was because Xiang Kang had already seen at this time that all the Western Chu troops killed on the left and right were about 3,000 people, just by relying on the rear of the first and sixth teams of the front formation, I can deal with it with complete certainty.

"King, please wait a little longer, the enemy's intentions are unknown, we had better change with the same, wait for the Western Chu thief army to take the next step, and then adapt to the situation before it is too late."

In order to create an opportunity to turn defeat into victory, Xiang Yu decisively ordered Zhou Lan, the general of the Western Chu Army, to lead 10,000 Western Chu troops to attack from the middle gate, and directly raided the front of the Han army, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the weakness of the scum cousin who was not good at battle to lure the Han army to launch a counterattack to meet the battle. At the same time, in addition to the more than 10,000 soldiers who were mostly wounded and ready to stay in the camp, the remaining more than 60,000 soldiers of the Western Chu Army were all ready to urgently go out of the camp and line up!

Xiang Yu and Han Xin's attempt almost succeeded again, and when they saw that the middle gate of the Western Chu army suddenly opened wide, and a huge number of Western Chu troops rushed out, Xiang Kang, who had strong troops in his hands, also subconsciously wanted to open his mouth and order, so that the third and fourth teams of the Han army's front line, which had been arranged to deal with the middle gate of the Western Chu army, came forward to meet them.

Fortunately, Xiang Kang still knew the lesson, and after forcibly swallowing this order back into his stomach, Xiang Kang quickly turned to Li Zuoche and asked, "Guangwujun, what do you think?" ”

"King, it's still the same sentence, calm down, let us stand firm in the front and face the battle on our own." Li Zuoche replied quietly: "If we don't move, we will only miss the opportunity to weaken the enemy outside the camp at most, but the victory is safe, the Western Chu thief army is at the end of its rope, we must prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry, and launch a decisive battle earlier than we expected." ”

Rubbing his fingers and thinking about it, considering that the battle has always been his weakness, but it is Xiang Yu's strongest point, and the soldier immortal Han Xin is also in the Western Chu army formation at the moment, Xiang Kang still made a wise choice, and decisively ordered: "Give the front battle a banner, stabilize the position, and meet the battle on your own!" ”

The wise choice coupled with the offensive and defensive phalanx helped the Han army once again avoid the trap arranged by Xiang Yu and Han Xin for Xiang Kang, although the Western Chu army led by Zhou Lan rushed fiercely, but after being shot by the Han soldiers who resolutely stood firm with a bow and crossbow, even if they rushed to the front of the Han army at any cost, it only slightly disrupted the third team of the Han army's front formation, and did not give the Western Chu army and the self-army a chance to start a melee, and even if they were at a disadvantage on the scene, they quickly offset the charging momentum of the Western Chu army, Quickly pull the tide of the battle back to a stalemate. The rest of the Han army resolutely held their positions, ignoring the third team in the front that was attacked by the Western Chu army.

Seeing this scene in the Western Chu military camp, Han Xin's face changed again, and he said in a low voice: "Oh no, it seems that I underestimated Xiang Kang's traitor's ability to fight in formation, I didn't expect this traitor who only likes to win by surprise to grow so much in battle battles." ”

At the same time, Xiang Yu's face also turned iron blue, but there was no way, things had reached this point, and the Western Chu army had no way to retreat, so after Xiang Yu gritted his teeth, he still shouted: "Beat the drums, the whole army will go out of the camp, and the cones will march into formation!" ”

The war drums sounded, and more than 60,000 soldiers of the Western Chu army, who had followed Xiang Yu for many years, divided the soldiers into three ways, and charged out of the camp at the fastest speed from the three camp gates of the front camp of the Western Chu army, and quickly marched in front of the camp in the most suitable cone formation for charging and raiding. And when he saw Xiang Yu's banner of the King of Western Chu rushing out of the camp of the Western Chu army, there was an uproar in the Han army's battle array and flag array, and Xiang Kang roared like a pig, "Decisive battle!" My brother is going to fight us to the death! ”

"King, you can't waste any time." Chen Ping, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, hurriedly reminded: "General Zhou should be given an order immediately, and let him lead the rear army to reinforce us!" ”

Xiang Kang didn't even blink an eyelid, and immediately ordered the guards Pegasus to return to the camp, authorizing Uncle Zhou to control all the rear troops in the Han army camp, and let Uncle Zhou immediately lead the rear army to reinforce him! After the guards rushed away, Xiang Kang hesitated again, and said to Li Zuoche: "Guangwujun, fortunately you are here today, it will be up to you next, I am not good at battle, this decisive battle is commanded by you for me!" ”

"Thank you for your trust." Li Zuoche hugged his fists and sang a promise to Xiang Kang, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, your subordinates will not live up to your trust." ”

History and the soldier immortal Han Xin made a big joke, he finally made Xiang Yu obey him once through Liu Laosan, and adopted his correct advice at the decisive moment of the decisive battle between the Chu and Han armies, but he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out, but he ran into Li Zuoche, who had the opportunity to easily defeat him in history.

What's worse is that what the soldier immortal Han Xin met this time was not Chen Yu, who was stubborn and refused to listen to Li Zuoche's advice, but Xiang Kang, who knew his weaknesses and defects, and decisively handed over the command to Li Zuoche!
