Chapter 611: Never Give Up
"Ugh...."
Xiang Yu put away the coiled dragon halberd and threw it to the soldier next to him. simply lay down on the war horse: "Wait." When he loses, let me know. ”
"Yes."
Lu Xun stared at the battlefield on behalf of Xiang Yu.
Time passes minute by minute...
In the blink of an eye.
It's getting dark.
The 50,000 iron cavalry sent by Kebineng broke through the two lines of defense of the Thousand Banners Army.
When attacking the third line of defense, they were met with desperate resistance and suffered heavy casualties.
Considering that Xiang Yu had too many troops and the situation on the left and right flanks was unclear, Kebineng ordered the withdrawal of troops and ran towards the southwest. Because the northeast is blocked by Xiang Yu, the wings are dangerous. He had to flee from the southwest.
"General Xiang, General Xiang..."
Lu Xun shook Xiang Yu's body a few times and said, "The enemy has fled." ”
Xiang Yu sat up rubbly, not sleepy at all.
He picked up the dragon halberd, jumped out of battle, and shouted: "Brothers, kill the past, and don't let the enemy go!" ”
"Kill..."
The 200,000 troops followed the cavalry of Kebineng and ran to the southwest.
Liu Bowen's Thousand Banners Army sorted out the formation and also followed.
......................
......................
Night.
Kebineng's 100,000 iron horsemen passed by an official road and were blocked by Xue Rengui. The official road was next to a city, and there was a mountain outside the city, connected to a river, and the terrain was somewhat complicated.
Xue Rengui had already prepared and desperately blocked Ke Bineng.
"Kill..."
Xiang Yu's hundreds of thousands of troops caught up and engaged Kebineng.
Puff puff...
Xiang Yu took the lead, and the impermeable dragon halberd dance wiped out all the enemies that stood in the way.
Lu Xun was also in the war.
He didn't have Xiang Yu's bravery, and he didn't kill the enemy himself. However, he stood in the group of soldiers, commanded well, and arranged well, dividing, encircling and annihilating the enemy's iron cavalry, which played a great role.
................
In this great battle, the combined strength of the two sides amounted to 480,000.
In the middle of the night, 60,000 iron cavalry of the Xiongnu came to help and engaged Lu Xun's Jingzhou army. Later Yang Lin and Wu Yunzhao each led 3,000 foot soldiers to attack the Xiongnu's rear army.
All in all, the number of troops reached 540,000!
This is almost catching up with the strength of the Hebei battlefield.
Infantry against cavalry, weak against strong, can be called a model of infantry and cavalry engagement.
Xiang Yu has always been fighting and has never stopped.
Xue Rengui, Yang Lin, Wu Yunzhao, etc., also fought separately.
Lu Xun and Liu Bowen commanded the army, mainly fighting formation warfare and positional warfare.
Each has its own abilities and is wonderful.
It's a pity that at night, I can't see the specific situation on the battlefield clearly. Both sides are caught in an endless fight, and no one dares to retreat, and no one dares to coax. Whoever is cowardly is likely to die.
Next.
Noon.
Xiang Yu's whole body was stained red with blood. Even his eyeballs were covered with a layer of blood mist: "Kill..." ”
"General, general."
A soldier came to Xiang Yu's side and reported: "General, the enemy has withdrawn, retreated to the north." ”
"Chase, don't let the enemy go!" Xiang Yu wiped his eyes with his hand, stood on the horse's back, and looked north. I saw that the enemy's iron cavalry had all bypassed.
He waved his dragon halberd and roared: "Listen to the order, chase and kill!" ”
"Kill..."
All the troops, as if they were crazy, pursued the cavalry with infantry.
This is like Xiang Yu's character, if he doesn't achieve his goal, he won't give up.
The two armies were in the north of the Wei River, to the left Fengyi Gaoling, and launched a fierce pursuit and escape battle. The Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Qiang people had war horses, and they ran very fast, and Xiang Yu's infantry couldn't catch up. But did not give up, always followed.
"General Xiang. The soldiers fought for a day and a night, exhausted, and could not continue. Can you stop and rest? Wait for the rest to be good, and then pursue the Huns? Lu Xun ran to Xiang Yu's side.
"Are you tired?" Xiang Yu asked.
"I..."
"The enemy is more tired than you! The lord said that no enemy soldier should be spared. Now the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Qiang people, there are at least sixty or seventy thousand iron horsemen, how can we let them go? ”
Xiang Yu roared: "Keep chasing!" ”
"Yes..."
Lu Xun really couldn't stand it anymore.
How can there be such a war?
Chasing cavalry with infantry? Isn't this looking for abuse? If it can catch up, is it still called cavalry?
..................
Pursued for half a day.
Hundreds of thousands of troops crossed several rivers in succession and arrived at Gaoling City in Zuo Fengyi.
The light cavalry came to report: "General, the cavalry of the alien race has already passed through Touyu County.... ”
Hearing the soldier's report, Xiang Yu grabbed the reins of the horse.
Lu Xun, Liu Bowen, Yang Lin, etc., all came up one after another and said, "General Xiang, our troops are too tired. The soldiers did not eat for two days. How can you chase this? Let's rest in Gaoling Castle first. When you have rested, it's not too late to chase after you. ”
Syllable!
Xiang Yu slammed the dragon halberd to the ground, and said angrily: "The 360,000 troops were dispatched, fought for two days, and let the enemy escape. ”
"An alien war horse, extremely fast. We don't have a war horse, and it's normal that we can't catch up. General Xiang doesn't need to be angry, it's already very good to be able to repel the alien iron cavalry. Liu Bowen said.
"Hmph."
Xiang Yu was very dissatisfied, turned the horse's head, and ran towards Gaoling City.
Whew...
All the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly led their troops to Gaoling City to station.
After settling in.
Xiang Yu summoned the generals and said, "The alien cavalry who fled north.... Although it is already three hundred miles away. However, they cannot be spared. I decided to gather all the light cavalry in the army, and I led it to continue the pursuit. Rest in Gaoling City for the time being, and wait for my orders. ”
"General Xiang. The combined light cavalry of our armies is not more than six thousand. There are 60,000 enemies, how can you overcome them? Wu Yunzhao was very worried.
"You don't have to worry about that." Xiang Yu snorted: "Even if I have only the last person left, I will fight to the end." Fight to the last breath. The 180,000 iron horsemen of the alien race (plus the 60,000 horsemen of the Xiongnu later) could not let go of any of them. ”
Everyone looked at each other...
Lu Xun and Liu Bowen both scolded in their hearts: "What a madman! ”
Xue Rengui said, "General Xiang." I heard that General Han Shin's 1st Army is coming to us. Why not wait for him to arrive and ask him for help? He had a large number of steam engine trucks, which were no slower than the cavalry. ”
Xiang Yu scolded: "Don't always think about others to help. Hanshin has Hanshin's mission, and we have our mission. Besides, Han Xin is going to the north to support, do you know what the situation in the north is now? Hundreds of thousands of alien iron horsemen went south, if we delayed the big thing because of us, then the sin would be great. ”
"Don't persuade me. The pursuit of the Huns, I have made up my mind. Send out all the light horsemen, as many as you want, and I will lead them into battle. I don't believe how strong the defeated alien iron cavalry is. ”
.................
Because of Xiang Yu's obscenity, no one could dissuade him.
Forthwith.
All the generals gathered the cavalry and were led by Xiang Yu. A total of six thousand horsemen.
Although the number is small, the soldiers have no fear, no regrets, and are willing to follow Xiang Yu and continue to fight.
Night.
After dinner.
Xiang Yu's 6,000 horsemen brought enough dry food and water and marched towards Touyu County.
The speed of the light cavalry was extremely fast, and it pursued along the path of the alien iron horseman's escape, and the distance became closer and closer.
