Originally, it was inevitable to win the Han army, but now it has been unable to attack for a long time, Chen Yu is more and more anxious, but he is very helpless.

From the beginning of the war, Li Zuoche kept persuading Chen Yu to withdraw from the army, but Chen Yu was unwilling.

The fierce battle began at nine o'clock in the morning and lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon, and the Zhao army had lost more than 30,000 men, and the Han army had fallen only a few thousand.

"General, if you continue to fight, you won't be able to destroy these Han troops, so quickly order a retreat!"

Li Zuoche tried hard again.

At this time, Chen Yu was very conflicted in his heart, looking at the high-spirited Han Xin in the distance, he hated it so much, but he was helpless, what could he do if he was unwilling?

"Bang bang

The Zhao army stopped the offensive and retreated on all fronts.

On the banks of the Manshui River, the generals of the Han army cheered for victory.

Only Han Xin, his eyes were still fixed on the enemy army, he was observing the retreat of the enemy army to judge the remaining morale and combat strength of the Zhao army.

Important figures gathered around Han Xin, including Zhang Er, Cao Shen, Fan Hao and others.

Zhang Er said: "General, let me lead the troops to chase after me, I will kill Chen Yu." ”

During the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, he and Chen Yu were brothers at that time, and later Xiang Yu named him the king of Changshan, but Chen Yu was not crowned king. Because Chen Yu was dissatisfied with the separation, he sent troops to drive Zhang Er away, and then supported Zhao Xie as the king of Zhao. Zhang Er and Chen Yu have become mortal enemies.

Han Xin said: "Although the Zhao army was forced to withdraw its troops, the retreat was orderly and there was no chaos, and now is not the time. Wait another two quarters of an hour, and when the Zhao army learns that the camp has been captured by our army, it will definitely collapse. ”

If the Zhao army prepared immediately after withdrawing its troops, the Han army would inevitably engage the rear army of the Zhao army, and Han Xin wanted to obtain the greatest victory at the minimum cost, wait for a while, and then follow behind the Han army to keep a certain distance.

Han Xin's bronze face showed a smile of satisfaction, this victory, he will definitely be famous all over the world.

Cao Shen said: "The general is like a god with soldiers, and at that time, our army will defeat the Zhao army without blood." ”

Several generals praised Han Xin, starting from the altar in Hanzhong more than a year ago to pay homage to the generals, until now, the generals have seen Han Xin's outstanding ability in training soldiers and commanding operations, and they have long been deeply impressed.

The Han army quickly counted the number of people, and the battle lost 8,115 men.

As long as Zhao can be taken, these losses are very valuable.

About two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Er said, "General, you can attack!" ”

Han Xin said loudly: "Defeating Zhao Jun is today. Zhang Er, Cao Shen. ”

"In"

The two responded in unison.

"The two of you will lead 8,000 troops as the front army to pursue Chen Yu!"

"No"

The two of them took the order in unison.

Victory was imminent, and Han Shin's heart was filled with joy.

Cao Shen and Zhang Er were ordering troops to set off.

At this time, Fan Xu pointed to the northwest and said loudly: "Look, that's our people!" ”

The generals looked to the northwest, and a group of light cavalry came down from the mountain, led by Guan Ying and Ding Fu.

In an instant, Han Xin's mood fell to the bottom, and the cavalry he sent returned, which must have been unsuccessful in capturing the Zhao army camp, the plan was not successful, and the victory had come to naught.

"General, according to your orders, the last general attacked the camp after the Zhao army poured out, and when he was about to act, a cavalry of the Zhao army suddenly appeared......"

The baby told the story of the morning.

When the generals heard this, their mood became depressed.

In the past, Han Xin had never miscalculated every time he used troops, and this was the first time that he had not succeeded.

He calculated that Chen Yu would come out, but why did the cavalry of the Zhao army suddenly appear? The cavalry appeared from the south, presumably from the Xiangguo side. Han Xin thinks that there are two possibilities, either someone in Zhao Guo decided that Chen Yu was not his opponent and rushed to stop Chen Yu from fighting; Or it happened to come in time.

Han Xin deserved to be an excellent commander, and he quickly adjusted his mood and made the most appropriate contingency measures according to the situation on the spot.

"Pass my order, hurry up to build a raft, and the whole army will cross the river tonight."

There are many trees on the hills on both sides of the mouth of the well, which can be cut down at any time.

A last-ditch battle can only serve as a short-term motivation, and if there is no victory in a short period of time, morale will drop quickly.

The base camp of the Zhao army was not lost, and if he came again tomorrow, it would be unfavorable to the Han army at that time, and Han Xin could only retreat first and then make plans.

——————

The Zhao army camp, the sky is already dark.

In the room, the men were busy, and some soldiers also went over to help, cooking good meat and vegetables.

The hundreds of Han army horses that were shot to death just played a role.

Zhao Xie walked in the barracks, looking at the busy figures of the soldiers, looking at everything in the barracks more than two thousand years ago, from noon to now, he has been spending time in depression, looking forward to the early return of the army, the sooner Chen Yu withdraws, the Zhao army can reduce some unnecessary losses.

"The army is back! The army is back! ”

Zhao Xie walked quickly to the Yuanmen, only to see a group of cavalry running towards this side, this is the cavalry team of the Zhao army, Chen Yu and Li Zuoche are among them.

When they came to the gate, the soldiers dismounted.

"The King..."

In front of Zhao Xie, Chen Yu looked helpless and sighed: "Falling for Han Xin's treacherous trick is really a hard bone." ”

Chen Yu is nearly fifty years old and short and strong, he is just helpless, but he does not feel guilty.

Li Zuoche looked respectful to Zhao Xie, "King, if you hadn't come to guard the camp in person, the soldiers brought back by the ministers and generals would have seen the camp taken, and the consequences would be very serious. ”

Zhao Xie looked at this talent, Li Zuoche in his early thirties, tall and thin, with a goatee, and his eyes radiated the light of wisdom.

Zhao Xie, who is familiar with the history of the Chu and Han dynasties, knows that Li Zuoche is a rare talent.

Zhao Xie will definitely not bury him, and will let others do their best to assist him as much as possible.

The soldiers in the back returned to the camp one after another, and the morale of the army was low.

Entering the camp from Yuanmen, you can see the corpses and flags of the Han army, Zhao Xie deliberately arranged this way, so that the generals knew that it was Chen Yu who led the whole army to fight, so that the Han army had the opportunity to sneak attack the camp. At the same time, it also shows the role of King Zhao, if it weren't for King Zhao's timely arrival, the base camp would have changed hands.

Of course, most people still don't know the truth of the matter, and Zhao Xie and others will announce it in detail.

In the tent, the generals who returned to the camp rushed here to gather as soon as possible.

Zhao Xie was also in the tent and asked Li Zuoche to tell in detail about the day's battle.

When fighting, not all generals stay next to the commander, but more command the soldiers everywhere, and many things that happen to the commander are not understood by the generals.

Telling the original story of today's process, including King Zhao's order for Chen Yu to withdraw his troops, and Li Zuoche's exhortation to Chen Yu, is to let the generals understand how serious the mistakes made by Chen Yu are.
