Chen Rui's mood is a little complicated, in the face of the pressure of the 300,000 troops of the Liang Army, it is impossible not to be nervous, but the tension is also accompanied by opportunities, such as the famous and classic example of winning more with less is produced in the face of several times the enemy army of their own, and at this time they can almost be regarded as facing twice as many enemy troops as themselves.

But now the strength of the Qin army makes him feel that his side is strong, and the other party is like a rabble.

Yes, Chen Rui is ambitious, he is different from Pang Xiong and others who want to stick to and wait for help, what he wants is to defeat the strong with the weak, and take the opportunity to become famous in the world, no one dares to underestimate him, so that Emperor Chu is not willing to wave a butcher's knife at him.

But now it seems that Chu Junsheng is also because of the strength of the Qin army, which has nothing to do with him, and he is a little disappointed.

But in fact, he thought too much, how could the elite of the Liang army be a rabble? Today's casualties are just the Liang army's strong attack at any cost, ignoring the advantage of the Qin army's defenders, although the advantage of defending the camp is not as great as defending the city, but the advantage is the advantage, it does not mean that the Liang army's combat strength is not strong. Moreover, the strongest of the Liang army is the iron cavalry, not the foot soldiers, and even the Qin army in the field cannot take much advantage when facing the Western Liang iron cavalry.

Besides, the coach of the Chu army is not him, even if he wins, it is also the credit of Pang Xiong, he is just a gift for a certain treasure to buy something......

Chen Rui thought about it and understood the key to this, so he didn't bother anymore, and said with a smile: "Several generals have worked hard, go down to rest and rest, there will be a fierce battle tomorrow, remember to arrange good people to keep vigil, beware of enemy sneak attacks at night." ”

"Whoa!"

"General, the Qin army must be tired after a hard day's fighting, so you might as well leave the matter of the vigil to me." But it was He Yongchang, the general of the pioneer battalion, who said.

Chen Rui thought about it, then nodded and said, "You can't slack off, you must guard it." ”

"Whoa!"

Several generals of the Qin army glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything, and they wouldn't rest assured if they handed it over to them, but it was not good to brush off people's kindness, so they just secretly put more guard.

At this time, the atmosphere of the Chinese army's big tent was a little solemn, because in the face of the Liang army's attack on the first day, the total casualties of each camp had exceeded 10,000, although the Liang army's casualties were not small, and none of their camps were lost, but if they continued like this, they would collapse if they could not hold it for a few days, because their troops were much less than the Liang army.

Now there are only two roads in front of the Chu army, continue to hold on, or retreat and build a second line of defense.

But even if you retreat and build a second line of defense, in the face of such a crazy attack by the Liang army, the result will be difficult to hold, and if you retreat, the Liang army will be put into the territory of Chu, and the Liang army will be able to plunder in Chu, but it will suffer the people.

The generals in the account argued endlessly, Pang Xiong rubbed his swollen head, and said: "Continue to hold on, my urgent report must have already arrived in the hands of Your Majesty, Your Majesty must be sending reinforcements, as long as we hold on for a few days, when our reinforcements arrive, we will be able to defeat the Liang army." ”

Similarly, the atmosphere of the Chinese army's big tent of the Liang army is also very dignified, because what they want is to destroy the Chu army, go straight to Xiangcheng, and then enter Sichuan and Shu, and occupy the northwest territory of Chu State.

Instead of being consumed by the Chu army here, they have paid a heavy price and have not achieved results today, so even if they win, they do not have too many troops to go down to the territory of the Chu State, which is far from their goal.

After the generals discussed for a while, Xie Wu made a decision: "Tomorrow, we will feint to attack the Chu army camp, and first remove the large camps on the high ground of the Chu army's pass one by one." ”

"Whoa!"

The next day, the 100,000 troops of the Liang army came to the outside of the Chu army's camp as yesterday, showing a situation of encirclement, but they did not rush to attack, but consumed crossbow arrows and bows and arrows, even if they had little effect in the face of the Chu army's shield wall.

The Chu army in the camp breathed a sigh of relief, and the guards of the village secretly guessed that the Liang army might not continue the attack because of the huge casualties and lack of men and horses due to the strong attack yesterday.

However, compared with the ease in the big camp, the big camps in the high lands of the Chu army can only be described as miserable.

In the Beishan camp, the guard General General Xu's armor was stained with blood, and he said to a soldier beside him: "Quickly go and tell General Pang that the Liang army attacked my camp with twice as many tens of thousands of troops yesterday, if there are no reinforcements, the camp will be lost, and the last general will only die for the country." ”

The soldier said with tears in his eyes: "General......"

General Xu's eyes widened: "Go quickly." ”

"Whoa!"

In the camp of the southern pass, General Zhang instructed the soldiers with the same words.

Xifengshan Daying......

Because the Liang army is determined to pull out the village today, and because of the siege of Sanqueyi, the soldiers passed on the word, but I did not hinder it at all.

In the Dongyang Valley camp, General Wei, the guard, looked at the slight difference between the Liang army outside the camp who was only shooting arrows, looked at Li He and said, "Why is this Liang army so strange today?" ”

Li He also frowned, he led 10,000 horses to respond in the center, yesterday the Dongyang Valley camp almost lost in the face of the Liang army's onslaught, he brought troops to help, I thought that today's Liang army would continue to attack, so he stayed in the Dongyangkou camp to guard against the Liang army, where did I think that today's Liang army actually changed its temperament, and was not in a hurry to attack.

"Oh no, I've been tricked." Li He pondered for a while and then slapped his thigh and said with some annoyance.

General Wei looked at him a little strangely and said, "General Li, what did you remember?" ”

Li He said: "The Chu army must have feinted to attack my Dongyang Valley camp, and the main attack on other camps. ”

"Then General Li should hurry up and reinforce them!" General Wei also understood and said.

Li He nodded and said quickly: "Although the Liang army is like a feint, General Wei must not be careless. ”

"Understood!"

Li He didn't say much, and hurriedly went to integrate the soldiers and horses, preparing to gallop to other places.

In the camp of the Liang army in Dongyangkou, he came to Wu Xu as soon as he probed his horse, and said: "Tell the general, Chu general Li He left the camp with 10,000 soldiers and horses and went north. ”

Wu Xu's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he laughed and said: "Okay, pass the order, all the soldiers will kill me, and whoever is the first to attack the big camp will be promoted to three levels in a row, and a reward of 100 gold." ”

"Whoa!"

"Kill ......"

"Report! The camp in Dongyang Valley was lost, and General Wei was killed. ”

"Report! The Beishan camp was lost, and the defending general General Xu led his army to surrender. ”

"Report! The large camp in the southern pass was almost lost under the onslaught of the Chu army, but fortunately, General Li He's reinforcements arrived in time, and he was temporarily worry-free. ”

"Report! The Xifengshan battalion suffered heavy losses, and if there were no more reinforcements, it would definitely be lost. ”

On this afternoon, the bad news came one after another, and the people in the tent will go from the initial surprise and gaffe to the fact that they have been able to face the bad news without changing their faces, and the ability to bear it has become stronger and faster, which is staggering.

Pang Xiong waved his hand and said, "Go down!" ”

The messengers at the bottom withdrew from the big tent, and the general at the bottom couldn't help but stand up, and arched his hand and said, "General Pang, order the withdrawal of troops!" If the Xifengshan battalion is lost, our army will have no way to retreat. ”

The generals looked at each other and nodded.

Pang Xiong closed his eyes, looked up at the tent, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Pass the order, the whole army will pull out the village overnight and withdraw into Anshan County, fifty miles later." ”

"Whoa!"

When night fell, the Liang army retreated as yesterday, and in the middle of the night, the Chu army left the village overnight, including other camps guarding the high ground and passes.

The whole army was stationed together again in Anshan County, fifty miles later, Anshan County is also the last barrier of Xiangcheng, if it breaks through here, the Liang army can reach the city of Xiangcheng.

Although it may be better to withdraw troops to garrison Xiangcheng, Xiangcheng is the second largest city in the Chu State, and if it is affected by the war, it will not be a good thing for the Chu State, so Pang Xiong finally decided to build the last line of defense in this Anshan County.

After several days of fierce fighting, the army lost more than 30,000 people, and the rest plus the Qin army was less than 100,000.

In the county government of Anshan County, all the generals gathered, Pang Xiong frowned and stared at the mountains and rivers terrain sand table in this area, after thinking for a long time, he pointed to one of the highlands and said: "I intend to divide troops to garrison this mountain, and the county seat of Anxian County into a corner, if the Liang army attacks my Anshan County, the army of the mountain camp will attack their backs, if the Liang army attacks my camp, the Chu army in our city will reinforce the camp, so as to drag the Liang army, within half a month, wait for our reinforcements to arrive, if they do not retreat, we will fight to the death with them." ”

"Who does the general think is this important task?" Wu Lu asked.

If Cao Cao attacks the city, the general will come to reinforce me, and if Cao Cao attacks the general, I will attack their back. In this way, within a month, Cao Cao's grain and grass will be eaten up, and they will retreat at that time. It's a pity that Lu Bu didn't listen to Chen Gong's words, otherwise he wouldn't have been defeated and captured.
