After several years, the main force of the Western Chu Army trained by hundreds of battles of all sizes is of course extraordinary, even if the physical strength is not in the peak state, and even if there are only one large, two small and three camp gates that can be assembled out of the camp, the main force of the West Chu Army in line is still moving fast, and a large number of soldiers and soldiers rushed out in a very short period of time, and they also maintained the formation in the high-speed advance, and quickly lined up a dense horizontal line in front of the three camp gates, protecting the road out of the camp, so that the rear army in the camp can assemble out of the camp one after another without interference, It shows the demeanor of an ace army. Even the elite army of the Han army under Xiang Kang is slightly inferior to it.

However, what made Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Han Xin, the soldier immortal, secretly frightened that even though the main brigade of the Western Chu army had already assembled at high speed and no longer concealed the intention of the decisive battle, the main brigade of the Han army five miles away to the north still stood still, neither seizing the time to urgently change the formation and adjusting the main battle formation that was originally stronger than defending, but also did not let the army launch a surprise attack, delay and delay the attack speed of the Western Chu army, and buy time for the rear team to make adjustments.

"What's wrong? Why hasn't the thief made any moves? ”

This is a common question between Xiang Yu and Han Xinxin, because according to Xiang Kang's previous tactical style, the most important choice should be to let the Han army decisively step forward to face the battle, and not give the Western Chu army the opportunity to calmly set up the camp, so that it can not only play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, but also try to avoid the frontal battle that Xiang Kang has always disliked the most, and also create an opportunity for the rear team to adjust, but now Xiang Kang just didn't do this, so Xiang Yu and Han Xin couldn't help but have such a thought together, "Could it be that Xiang Kang's traitors really want to fight with us?" Is he sure that he can command such a large-scale decisive battle? This has always been the least good thing for him, right? ”

Xiang Yu and Han Xin were strange, Xiang Kang, who had temporarily handed over the command to Li Zuoche, was of course even more strange, seeing that Li Zuoche never made any adjustments, and just stared at the Western Chu army out of the camp, Xiang Kang was curious in his heart, and couldn't help but ask Li Zuoche: "Guangwujun, please advise, the Western Chu thief army is still out of the camp, we still have a little time, why don't you adjust our formation?" ”

"Returning to the king, because this is what the Western Chu Thief Army wants us to do the most, since the Western Chu Thief Army wants us to do this, then we must not let them do it."

Li Zuo replied without looking back: "The terrain in this area is long and narrow from north to south, and it is difficult to deploy troops, once we adjust the formation, the Western Chu thief army will definitely launch a surprise attack immediately, and defeat our front team at any cost, once our front team is defeated by the Western Chu thief army, the rout army flees north, and it will immediately become the vanguard of the Western Chu thief army. ”

"But is it okay not to make adjustments?" Xiang Kang asked worriedly: "Before, for the convenience of attacking the camp, we arranged the formation to be stronger than defensive, if we don't adjust it, it will not be conducive to us to gain time, and wait for the rear army led by Uncle Zhou to come to reinforce it?" ”

"Don't worry, we don't have to make any adjustments." Li Zuoche replied with a smile: "The formation we arranged before is indeed stronger than defending, but we have not completely neglected the defense, in addition, our strength is far above the Western Chu thief army, blindly defending and not attacking is both passive and wasteful, it is better not to make adjustments, and fight a decisive battle with the Western Chu thief army in a dignified manner." ”

"Fight a decisive battle with my brother?" Hearing Li Zuoche's words, Xiang Kang's heart was inevitably a little drumming, but considering that if he was changed to his own command, he would definitely be more uncertain, Xiang Kang still cheered up and let Li Zuoche continue to command the Han army and the Western Chu army to fight this head-on decisive battle.

At this time, the battle formation of the Western Chu army has also been arranged out of the rudimentary form, different from the Han army's all the teams lined up in the phalanx, the more than 60,000 Western Chu troops who rushed out of the camp were lined up with six cone formations that were convenient for assault, and the soldiers were divided into three formations, one in the front and two in the back, and joined forces to form a huge cone marching array, the front team was at most more than 10,000 people, led by Liu Laosan, and the two teams in the middle were led by the famous generals Ji Bu and Wang Fen of the Western Chu Army, Xiang Yu appeared in the middle of the rear team for the first time, and the left and right teams of the rear team were led by Dongfang Mi and Ding Gu, The strikers are sharp, the wings are powerful, and at the same time, there is plenty of stamina, which is a typical assault formation.

Seeing this scene, Li Zuoche also nodded, and said with a smile: "No wonder the King of Western Chu is in such a hurry to fight a decisive battle, it turns out that his injuries are more serious than we estimated, otherwise, with his temper, how could he hide in the safest rear squadron?" didn't stand at the front and personally serve as the tip of the cone, he was already considered calm. ”

"Guangwujun, don't underestimate Liu Jipifu, the vanguard of the Western Chu Thief Army." Xiang Kang hurriedly reminded: "Fan Xu, Cao Shen and Zhou Bo under his command, as well as Xiahou Ying, are all among the few fierce generals in the world, and they assist in serving as the vanguard of the assault, and the threat will not be smaller than my brother personally leading the army to charge into battle." ”

Li Zuoche smiled and nodded, indicating that he had remembered Xiang Kang's warning, and then ordered: "Raise the flag, change the formation, and make the second and fifth teams in our front ......." ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the Western Chu Army was still urgently arranging the formation, the second and fifth teams of the Han Army's front formation, which were not affected by the enemy, urgently adjusted the formation, and turned the 10,000-strong phalanx with both attack and defense into two conical formations like the Western Chu Army!

"Cone Formation?!" Xiang Yu and Han Xin almost suspected that their eyes were wrong, and they also exclaimed together, "How is it possible?" Did Xiang Kang's traitor eat the leopard's gall? We have all set up an assault formation, and the thieves still dare to swing into a cone formation? Could it be that the thieves want to fight against us? ”

The second adjustment made by Li Zuoche did not surprise the Western Chu army, and chose to let the third team of the Han army's middle formation, which was in the most central position, change the phalanx into a circle formation, and blocked the front road of the Western Chu army's attack on the Chinese army's flag formation, and at the same time, the right rear team of the rear formation that protected the Han army's flag formation also became a circle formation, so as to strengthen the defense, and the other three phalanxes in the rear did not make any adjustments.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu and Han Xin of course understood that the Han army really wanted to fight a decisive battle with the self-army, although this greatly surprised Xiang Yu's expectations, but it also made Xiang Yu's blood boiling, and scolded the scum cousin with a cruel smile, and immediately sent someone to Liu Laosan, who volunteered to be the vanguard, to give an order, ordering the Western Chu army led by Liu Laosan to attack the fourth team that was not attacked by the enemy in the front of the Han army, and then attack the fourth team in the middle of the Han army and the right front team in the rear, and take the nearest road to smash the Han army's flag formation to capture Xiang Kang.

As soon as the order was conveyed to Liu Laosan, Han Xin, who was guarding Liu Laosan's side, immediately understood that Xiang Yu was too careful, but when Liu Laosan asked whether Xiang Yu's choice of the right route to march into the army, Han Xin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Although this may be a tactical trap arranged for us by the Han thieves, we only have this option at present to save the most time, fortunately, the Han thieves have always been not good at battle battles, even if it is a deliberately arranged trap, it may not be effective." ”

Seeing that Han Xin also agreed to do this, Liu Laosan did not hesitate anymore, and quickly prepared for the assault, as soon as the war drum sounded in Xiang Yu's banner array, Liu Laosan immediately ordered a surprise attack, with the elite and strong soldiers led by Fan Xu as the tip, and launched a charge against the fourth team of the Han army's front that was currently not enemy, intending to break through the phalanx of the fourth team of the Han army and open the way to advance. At the same time, Zhou Lan's department of the Western Chu Army, which was fighting fiercely with the third team of the Han army, was also very clever and quickly tilted its center of gravity to the west, ready to help Liu Laosan break the formation.

The main decisive battle related to the future and fate of the Chu and Han sides has finally started in an all-round way, and in the shouting, the front team of the Western Chu army is like a sharp blade, stabbing straight at the fourth team in the front of the Han army, and no matter how the soldiers of the Han army frantically release arrows to block, they have not been able to stop the soldiers of the Western Chu army from charging without hesitation, and when the tip of the cone of the Western Chu army stabbed the front of the fourth phalanx of the Han army, the earth-shattering sound of shouting and killing and the sound of gold and iron collision immediately exploded on the formation.

Under his leadership, the elite of the Western Chu Army sacrificed their lives and forced a gap in the front of the fourth team of the Han army, forcing the fourth team of the Han army to quickly shrink their forces to strengthen the defense, while the Western Chu army resolutely stepped forward, frantically brandishing weapons and constantly assaulting, unshakably advancing in the blood splash, advancing little by little towards the inside of the Han army's formation, and the open wings resolutely stopped the Han soldiers who reinforced the central position. Gradually tearing apart the phalanx of the fourth team in the front of the Han army, Zhou Lan also took the opportunity to attack on the flank, bearing the pressure for Liu Laosan.

During this period, seeing that the Western Chu army really chose to attack the flaws that he deliberately exposed, Li Zuoche was not in a hurry, and only when the cone of the Western Chu army gradually approached the center of the fourth team in the front formation, Li Zuoche issued an order to let Xiang Kang's guards play the banner, and let the fourth team of the Han army's center change the square formation into a circle formation to strengthen the defense.

Seeing that Liu Laosan was progressing smoothly and the fourth team in the front of the Han army was in sight, the two teams of the middle formation of the Western Chu army immediately strode north, following behind Liu Laosan, ready to join the battlefield at any time to strengthen the offensive.

To Xiang Yu's surprise, after he made adjustments on his side, the two teams in the middle just stepped forward to make room for the rear of the Western Chu army to be attacked by the enemy, and the Han army reacted quickly, allowing the third team of the Han army, which had been attacked before, to charge and attack the third team on the right flank of the rear of the Western Chu army, and at the same time, the first and sixth teams of the Han army's front also launched a counterattack and launched a counterattack against the two 3,000-strong teams of the Western Chu army that had attacked them before.

"Xiang Kang's traitor has grown a lot? How dare you use such complex formation tactics against me, wanting to gradually weaken my flank offensive, and then free up my hands to fight more and less? ”

After seeing the vicious purpose of the Han army at a glance, Xiang Yu, who had absolute confidence in the combat effectiveness of the army, did not panic, did not make any adjustments, and allowed the Han army to storm the right flank of the rear of the army, as well as the two wings of the front line, and then it was not as expected by Xiang Yu, although the Han army took advantage of the strength of the two flanks of the front line, and soon formed a counter-encirclement of the two commandos of the Western Chu army, but after the commando team of the Western Chu army quickly formed a circle formation and took a defensive position, it quickly offset the offensive of the Han army, and did not lose any advantage at all, and it was impossible to be defeated by the Han army in a short time.

As for the third team of the Han army's front that attacked the right flank of the Western Chu army's rear formation, not to mention, the strength was already weakened, and it was the position of the Western Chu army with a complete impact formation, of course, it couldn't take any advantage, it was just temporarily entangled by the Han army.

Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and waited patiently for a while, with the help of Zhou Lanjun, who had been fully vacated, Liu Laosan's department really made a major breakthrough, first rushed to the 10,000 people of the fourth team of the Han army's front and was forced to retreat, and then tore the fourth team of the Han army's front into two halves, and then quickly scattered the right flank of the Han army on this position, and strode towards the position of the fourth team of the Han army's middle formation.

Of course, after doing this, Liu Laosan's army also suffered a lot of losses, and the soldiers who had already lost their physical strength became even more tired. And this also led to the Western Chu army's charge being blocked, and it was soon stopped by the fourth round formation of the Han army's central formation, which was strong in defense.

Of course, Xiang Yu couldn't stand this situation, and after yelling and giving the order, the second formation of the Chinese army of the Western Chu army immediately rushed forward, followed Liu Laosan to attack the middle formation of the Han army, and because of the space accommodation, he was soon forced to fight with the third and fifth teams of the Han army.

At the same time, the second team of the Han army's front formation, which had been arranged into a cone marching formation, also strode forward to strengthen the attack on the right flank of the rear of the Western Chu army, and the fifth team in the front of the front team advanced to the left flank of the Western Chu army, pinning down the left flank of the Western Chu army, and sharing the pressure on the friendly forces in the center.

"There is containment and counteroffensive, and there is indeed growth, but it depends on whether you can calm down, as long as you can't hold your breath, let your first and second teams of the Chinese army charge west and join the battlefield, my opportunity will come."

After snorting coldly again, Xiang Yu, a genius in the battle, repeatedly forced himself to calm down, patiently waiting for the first and second teams of the Han army, which were already facing west, to make the first move, intending to wait for the Han army to confuse the formation and gather a large number of soldiers before launching a general attack to expel the defeated soldiers of the Han army and impact the rear of the Han army.

Xiang Yu, who met the master of micro-manipulation, of course, was not able to wait for this fighter to appear, on the contrary, the front team of the Western Chu Army, which had reduced physical strength, after encountering the strong defensive Han army round formation, coupled with the fact that both wings were contained, it was like a copper stick without a blade at the front end stabbed the tough raw cowhide, although it was still slowly advancing, but it could not break the raw cowhide, and the power of the advance was constantly neutralized, and the speed of progress was slowed down little by little.

"It's definitely not Xiang Kang's traitor who is commanding this battle! He doesn't have the ability to fight a battle with such complex tactics! ”

When Han Xin came to this correct conclusion, Xiang Yu couldn't hold his breath anymore, and roared and sent guards to rush forward to give Liu Laosan an an order, asking Liu Laosan to break through the fourth team of the Han army's middle formation within a quarter of an hour, and open the way for the rear team of the Western Chu army.

After receiving the order, Liu Laosan had no choice, of course, he could only immediately transfer the pressure to his subordinates, and for the first time in the first place, he sent someone to give a death order to Fan Xu, who served as the tip of the cone, and asked Fan Hao to complete Xiang Yu's requirements, and at the same time personally rushed to the front of the battle to kill, helping Fan Hao to impact the Han army's round formation, Cao Shen and Zhou Bo and others also had no choice, and they all rushed to the front line, personally wielding weapons and sacrificing their lives with the Han army soldiers.

After all, it is the world's fierce general second only to Xiang Yu, under the joint persecution of Liu Laosan and Xiang Yu, Fan Xu, who has been injured in many places, roared and waved the dog slaughtering knife one after another, invincible in the crowd of the chaotic army, and successively hacked to death more than a dozen Han army soldiers, forcing the fourth team of the Han army to shrink the formation one after another, but at this time, a spear that suddenly stabbed, like a poisonous snake, hit Fan Xu's cheek, stabbing Fan Xu, who was fighting with other enemies, to bloom all over his face.

"Piff!"

After roaring angrily, Fan Xu first struggled to open the spear with his arm, and then stepped forward and cut off the neck of the Han soldier who stabbed him with a knife, but correspondingly, taking advantage of the opportunity of the blood blurring Fan Xu's eyes, more spears stabbed one after another, stabbing Fan Xu's body full of black flesh one after another, and the Western Chu soldiers next to him were shocked and hurriedly rushed up to help Fan Xu, and when the Western Chu soldiers finally killed the Han soldiers who besieged Fan Xu, Fan Xu was already covered in blood, Bloody wounds were everywhere.

"General, you can't fight anymore! Get back! ”

"Get out! Don't get in the way! ”

Roaring and pushing away the soldiers who had the good intention of pulling him back, Fan Xu continued to swing his knife forward, and once again killed the crowd of Han soldiers and soldiers who were already so dense that it was difficult to insert needles, his eyes almost wanted to breathe fire, "Dog thief!" Give Naion's life! ”

In the end, relying on the bloody battle of Fan Xu and other soldiers of the Western Chu Army, the Western Chu Army finally succeeded in defeating the fourth team of the Han Army's middle formation and opened the way to enter the rear of the Han Army, but when the Han soldiers broke up, Fan Xu fell on the battlefield covered in blood, and his breathing was very weak. The situation report was in front of Liu Laosan, and Liu Laosan also had tears in his eyes, and then shouted: "Zhou Suona, you go!" Replace Fan Gou'er and continue to rush forward! ”

The fourth team of the Han army finally broke up, and the crowd of the Western Chu army that had accumulated here also found an outlet like a flood, and immediately rushed forward and continued to rush towards the right front team of the Han army's rear formation. And when the two teams of the Western Chu Army in the back hurriedly followed, and at the same time a part of the space was also freed up, the Han Army also immediately made adjustments, and the first and second teams of the Han Army's Central Formation, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, immediately charged westward and rushed to the right flank of the Western Chu Army led by Ji Bu, forcing Ji Bu to turn around and face the battle.

At this time, the tactical objectives of both Chu and Han were all exposed, and the Western Chu army mainly attacked the right flank of the Han army, wanting to take the nearest road to smash the Han army's flag formation located in the right rear of the rear formation, and destroy the command center of the Han army in one fell swoop to achieve victory. The Han army also attacked the right flank of the Western Chu army, the purpose of which was not only to gradually weaken the charge offensive of the Western Chu army, but also to break the right flank of the Western Chu army, free up his hands to reinforce the right flank battlefield of the own army, and drown the main force of the Western Chu army with the advantage of troops.

Of course, Xiang Yu, a genius in the battle, saw through the purpose of the Han army at a glance, but the battle reached this point, and when the follow-up strength of the Han army was still extremely strong, Xiang Yu had neither time to adjust his tactics nor any choice, so he could only raise the steel spear in his hand, aimed at the flag formation of the Han army, and roared: "Beat the drum, general attack!" Target, the Han Thief Banner Array! Who can take down the head of Xiang Kang's traitor, and this king will share the world equally with him! ”
