Chapter 5: The Battle of Jingcheng
Now, Chen Yu Shuai Yin is in the Shuai tent, Zhao Xie took it and wrapped it in cloth with Zhao Wang Yin.
As for the talisman, it was carried by Chen Yu, and after he came back, he would take the opportunity to seize the talisman as much as possible.
Outside the camp, a fast horse entered.
"Report to the king, I did find the banner of the Han army in Baoqi Zhai Mountain, there are about two thousand."
Sure enough, the Han army really wanted to attack and seize the camp first, and then plant all the flags.
The Jingcheng post road is more than 30 kilometers long, and it takes at least four hours for the cavalry to come and go, Zhao Xie thought about what to do in front of him, and after making the corresponding arrangements, this body could no longer support it, lying on the bed, and fell asleep in less than half a minute.
——————
On the west side of Jingchengkou, on the surface of the Mianman River, there are no boats and bamboo rafts in sight.
In the early hours of this morning, Han Xin led his army across the river and sent people to attack the Zhao army's camp. When he learned that the Zhao army had been successfully lured out of battle, he ordered all the tools to cross the river to be destroyed, leaving no retreat for the Han army.
When the Zhao army arrived on the west side of Jingchengkou, the Han army had its back to the Mianman River and set up a defensive formation.
The location of the Han army, surrounded by water on three sides, made it impossible for the Zhao army to deploy superior forces and outflank the Han army.
Chen Yu was bent on destroying the Han army in a battle, solving Han Xin, and issuing an attack order.
The morale of the Han army was high, the formation was not chaotic, and the Zhao army's offensive was blocked.
Li Zuoche was next to Chen Yu, witnessing the battle situation in front of him, which made him frown.
After the battle lasted for more than half an hour, Yu Wei rushed here, which surprised Chen Yu.
"Yu Wei, why did you come here?"
"General, there is an ambush of the Han army on the mountain of Baoqizhai, and the camp was raided two quarters of an hour after the departure of the army, fortunately the king led the army to arrive in time, otherwise the camp would not be protected."
"What?"
Chen Yu and Li Zuoche were both taken aback, not only because of Han Xin's cunning, but also because King Zhao would bring troops here.
Li Zuodao: "Han Xin's soldiers are really cunning, he sent troops to attack and harass at night, just to provoke the general, you were fooled." ”
Chen Yu's face turned blue and purple, and he vowed to kill Han Xin.
Yu Wei took out the cloth and said to Chen Yu: "General, this is an edict from the king, and the special general will come to you, and he will ask you to obey the edict." ”
Chen Yu took it and opened it, looking at the content of the edict, Li Zuoche also looked sideways and saw it clearly.
Li Zuodao: "General, we have been fooled, since the king has an edict, we should be ordered to withdraw the troops." ”
Chen Yu originally wanted to fight a decisive battle with Han Xin in a dignified manner, but Han Xin used a trick against him, hated Han Xin very much, how could he be willing to retreat, he said to Wei: "Since the king is here, there is no danger in the camp, and the army has no worries, so it is just right to fight a decisive battle here." You go back and report to the king, the Han army has no way to escape, I will destroy the Han army today, take Han Xin, and suggest that he prepare a celebration banquet. ”
The battle was only fought for half an hour, although the morale of the Han army is currently high, and it is difficult to defeat it quickly, but Chen Yu has blind self-confidence, the Zhao army is several times that of the Han army, as long as the most fierce offensive is launched, the Han army will not be able to support it for long.
Looking at Han Xin under the Han army in the distance ahead, Chen Yu did not take his head and vowed not to give up.
Li Zuoche persuaded again: "General, at present, the morale of the Han army is high, and there is no way to retreat, just like the Chu army when the cauldron was wrecked, the decisive battle at this time is not conducive to our army, we should avoid its edge first and withdraw the army!" ”
Chen Yu said categorically: "I have made up my mind, and I will not say anything!" To Wei Dao: "Don't go back and report it quickly." ”
"No"
Yu Wizema returned.
Chen Yu gave the order to die and launched the fiercest offensive against the Han army.

Outside the gate of the Zhao army camp, the soldiers of the Zhao army were cleaning up the battlefield, they gathered the corpses of the Han soldiers together, collected the arrows shot, and for those war horses that were shot to death, they naturally could not be wasted, and they were moved into the camp and handed over to the room, and the soldiers could eat a good meal of horse meat.
At the entrance and exit of the camp, on the left is the corpse of the Han soldier, and on the right is two thousand Han army flags brought back from Baoqizhai Mountain, which was specially ordered by King Zhao.
At noon, several fast horses entered the camp of the Zhao army, and Yu Wei returned.
Ouyang Ling asked, "What's the situation?" ”
Yu Wei said: "The general refuses to retreat, but the battle situation is acceptable. ”
The two of them entered the tent together.
"The King... The King..."
Zhao Xie woke up in a daze, it was Yu Wei who woke him up, and Ouyang Ling was also present.
Zhao Xie, who was sleepy-eyed, got up and sat on the bed, tired all night, obviously not sleeping enough.
"Report to the king, the last general has sent your edict, but the general did not give the edict, he said, the Han army has no way to escape, he will destroy the Han army today, take Han Xin, and also suggest that you prepare a celebration banquet."
"Chen Yu, bastard!"
Zhao Xie got up and scolded Chen Yu, his heart was on fire, and his sleepiness disappeared suddenly.
Yu Wei said: "Your Majesty, our army has a large number of people, and the soldiers have been practicing for several months, and the last general thinks that there should be a great chance of victory in the battle before the battle. ”
Zhao Xie immediately said: "There is a chance of winning with fart, it will only lose the soldiers, and Chen Yu eats." ”
The two generals were stunned for a while, Chen Yu's status in Zhao was almost no less than that of King Zhao, who had always been elegant and respected Chen Yu very much. Now he actually scolded Chen Yu, and he also burst into foul language.
Zhao Xie became irritable again, it can be imagined that when Chen Yu returns, the camp will be full of wounded soldiers, and I don't know how many men and horses will be lost.
He walked back and forth in the tent, and after a while, he sighed deeply and said to the two of them: "Pass my order, let the gang make a delicious meal for the whole army tonight, and the widow will comfort the soldiers." ”
Now he is putting himself in the identity of King Zhao, the soldiers of the Zhao army are his people, even if he does not win the battle, it is the mistake of the commander Chen Yu, the soldiers obey the military order, fight bravely, and do their duty, as the king of a country, he should comfort them.

The west side of the well.
The endless forest of halberds, the cold blades, almost reflected the cold and dark sky, and countless soldiers of the Zhao Army gathered into an endless gray wave, endlessly rushing forward to kill.
The battle between the Han army and the Zhao army is raging.
Chen Yu vowed to kill Han Xin, organize soldiers and horses to launch a strong attack on the Han army in turn, and kill one after another 10,000 people.
He also sent men to supervise the battle in front of the battle, and those who dared to retreat were executed on the spot.
On the side of the Han army, Han Xin always commanded the battle calmly, more than 20,000 soldiers formed multiple defensive formations, and many different combat formations in the Han army were strictly trained by him, plus the morale of the soldiers was strong, so that the Zhao army suffered a lot.
At noon, Chen Yu temporarily stopped the attack, let the soldiers fill their stomachs, and only rested for two quarters of an hour before continuing the offensive.
On the east bank of the Manshui River, the drums roared, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and this place has become a flesh and blood mill, and soldiers continue to fall, and blood flows like a river.
Among them, the speed and number of Zhao soldiers in gray clothes fell much faster and more than that of Han soldiers wearing yellow clothes.
The Han army under the "desperate situation" burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and the more the Zhao army fought, the more frightened they became.
The more Li Zuoche looked, the more he didn't feel good, he always paid attention to the battle situation, and paid great attention to the casualties on both sides, and for every 4 people he lost, he could only kill 1 soldier of the Han army.
Under the Han army, Han Xin, who was wearing a white robe and white armor and riding a white horse, had an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.
The backwater array he set up successfully blocked the offensive of the Zhao army.
The Zhao army came violently, but it could not be attacked for a long time, suffered heavy losses, and the morale was getting lower and lower, and after Chen Yu had no choice but to withdraw his troops and go back, he found that the camp had changed hands, and there were "innumerable" Han troops in the camp, which would definitely lead to a complete collapse of the morale of the Zhao army.
In Han Xin's eyes, the victory of the battle of Jing Cheng has already arrived.
