Chapter 281: It's Time to Harvest (Second Update)
As soon as Xiang Yu heard this, he suddenly became energetic, the word carriage was really too attractive in his eyes, wasn't this carriage what he was waiting for?
What does the carriage mean, the carriage means grain and grass, it means baggage, it means its own opportunity, an opportunity that can make Yinggao completely messed up.
Xiang Yu was still experienced in battle, and after discovering the carriage, he did not act rashly, but let the soldiers under his command continue to hide in place.
The result he wanted was no longer to burn down a granary of Qin Bing's granaries like last time, but to really take all these grains, grass and baggage for himself.
In fact, in this era, fighting to the end, it is nothing more than the strength behind the scenes, although Xiang Yu's Jiangdong soldiers are backed by the vast majority of Huiji County and even Jiangdong, but it is not on the same level as the Qin soldiers, so it is almost impossible for Xiang Yu to win this battle.
Although all they said was that the emperor of Great Qin could not stay on the front line for too long, he would have to go back within two or three months.
But if Yinggao goes back, will Chen County's army also be withdrawn? It's unlikely, what if Meng Yi or something is still here to fight such a tug-of-war with you? In that case, it will be Xiang Yu who will not be able to hold on for another two months, and he will have to take all the money he has saved from running Jiangdong for so long.
Therefore, Xiang Yu wanted to eliminate the advantages of one through this way, this time he intercepted the grain and grass of the Qin soldiers, plus the ones that were burned last time, which was enough to make the Qin soldiers have not enough food in a short period of time.
If he can seize this opportunity again, Xiang Yu believes that he can not only solve Chen Ying's annoying team, but also pose a big threat to Yinggao, and then tilt the battle situation a little to his side.
Xiang Yu was thinking about it in his heart, only to hear the neighing of horses in the originally quiet night sky, Xiang Yu knew that this team of Qin people with a heavy responsibility was coming.
Like a qualified hunter, he silently counted the ranks that walked along the path in front of him, looking for what he thought was the most appropriate time.
Finally, when the team was about to reach the middle position, Xiang Yu clenched the arrow in his hand and pointed an arrow towards the crowd in front of him.
A soldier in the middle of the Qin army's team fell to the ground in response, and immediately after, the Jiangdong disciples who had been lying in ambush here for several hours rushed out and pounced on the prey in front of them like hungry tigers.
The hearty battle that Xiang Yu wanted finally seemed to appear on his body.
However, what Xiang Yu didn't know was that just when he was lying in ambush here, thinking about letting Ying Gao eat a good meal, he thought that the place where he hid the warship was going through the last thing he wanted to see.
What kind of general is Han Xin, that is a person who can make the Nanyue tribe honest with the 50,000 army in his hands when he arrives in Nanhai County, and now he has 40,000 troops in his hands, but Xiang Yu only guards the warship with 5,000 people.
Moreover, Han Xin was a surprise army in the shadows, and the 5,000 men and horses guarding the warship were the ones who had already figured out what the situation was.
So there is no need to guess the result at all......
Han Xin didn't even pick at night, and directly launched an offensive against the 5,000 men and horses on that clear morning on the day agreed with Yinggao.
Although Han Xin knew that Yinggao on Shouchun's side must be taking some measures, although he was usually not very strict with himself, but once it came to the matter of fighting, it would not work, five thousand people, Han Xin didn't want to let any of them go.
It is precisely because of this that he did not choose to take the night here, because some people will definitely be let go at night, and in the morning, the view is really good, if there is really a person who runs, he can still see clearly more than ten zhang away, and it is naturally much easier to catch it back.
For this reason, Han Xin almost moved all the 40,000 people under his command, and carefully designed more than ten routes, as a result, as he had planned, catching turtles in the urn, almost not letting the enemy run away, poor Jiangdong disciples who were very trusted by five thousand Xiang Yu, killed three or four thousand in battle, and the remaining 1,800 people saw that it was really impossible to do anything, so they could only choose to surrender to the Qin soldiers.
It was so easy, Han Xin completed the task assigned to him by Yinggao.
If he smashed all the warships one by one now, Xiang Yu's back road would be cut off, but of course he didn't do it, this is a large warship, and Xiang Liang didn't know how much money he spent in Huiji County before he said that the county guard Yin Tong at that time made it.
If this is smashed like this, it will take at least two or three years for Yinggao to make so many warships of this size.
Since Han Xin is here, he must keep these warships, which can be regarded as his second surprise to Yinggao, but in his heart, he cut off Xiang Yu's back road and took Xiang Yu's warship, these routine matters cannot be regarded as real surprises, what he wants to do is something that Yinggao can't imagine when the time comes.
After taking here, Han Xin's 40,000 horses and horses did not lose much, at this time, he was in one of the largest warships, while looking at the structure of the warship with great interest, by the way, check whether there are any fish hidden in the ship, after all, the volume of the warship is still quite huge, in case there are one or two Jiangdong sergeants hiding in it and running to Shouchun while you are not paying attention, then Han Xin's job is not perfect.
Behind Han Xin, the commander of these 5,000 men, a deputy general that Xiang Yu trusted, had actually been eyeing him as early as when Han Xin came to step on the point, so when he attacked, Han Xin repeatedly ordered that this general must live, and he must not damage his life, and whoever killed him would be dealt with according to military law.
Such an order must be given, otherwise Han Xin would have seen that when the Qin soldiers were fighting, in addition to carrying out the orders of the generals, they almost always had only one purpose, that is, to collect heads.
In the eyes of the Great Qin soldiers, once they arrived on the battlefield, the head of the opposing sergeant was no longer a head, but a broad road to the promotion of the title.
Especially in such an obviously one-sided combat effectiveness, the result must be like a tiger entering the flock, and the generals of the enemy army cannot be let go of for the Qin soldiers, because in the military merit system of the Great Qin, if you can kill a general of the enemy army, it is amazing, and there are more than a dozen ordinary enemy soldiers on top.
Therefore, if Han Xin wants to leave the life of this general, it is necessary to tell the soldiers under his command, and it is precisely because of this that the Jiangdong general can stand behind him, looking at the seven dissatisfied and eight dissatisfied expressions on his face, Han Xin said If it weren't for my brother and me, your head would have been crushed by now......
"How many defenders are there in Huiji County, and where are they camped?"
Han Xin didn't do any foreshadowing, but directly turned his head and asked this question.
"When the young general leads the army to kill, aren't your tens of thousands of Qin soldiers a dead soul under the sword? I, the children of Jiangdong, how can I be intimidated by the Qin people's words? ”
The reason why this general was able to be left by Xiang Yu in this battleship that looked at the most important thing was that there must be no problem with his loyalty, if he recruited him so simply by asking, Han Xin really had to wonder if what he said was true.
"Do you know how your uncle Xiang Liang, the major general of Jiangdong, died?"
Han Xin didn't ask about the previous things, nor did he go up to greet him with punches and kicks, but went to the man's side and asked in a low voice.
Xiang Liang's image in the hearts of Jiangdong's disciples is really very tall, Han Xin said this, the general naturally couldn't answer, just lowered his head deeply, and no longer paid attention to Han Xin.
"Xiang Liang was captured like you, and then came to the king's body, and the king was also like me, and asked that Xiang Liang a question, and that Xiang Liang was just like you before, and then ...... Tut-tut......"
Speaking of this, Han Xin raised his eyes and looked at the Jiangdong general, and sure enough, he found that this guy's expression was not as resolute as before, and he was also secretly looking at Han Xin, which showed that he was beginning to have no bottom in his heart.
After a pause, Han Xin's mouth opened again.
Then, the king didn't ask any more words, and directly cut Xiang Liang out of the door, and then what was the situation of Xiang Liang's head, I think I would have seen it. If you are not a king, you can't do such a decisive thing, so you should at least have another chance this time, do you say yes or no? ”
After saying these words quietly, Han Xin slowly repeated the question he had just asked.
This time, the Jiangdong generals were no longer as decisive as before, and with Han Xin's few words, his previous psychological defense line was broken into pieces.
He didn't know what the consequences would be if he continued to carry it to death, he only knew that if he didn't have a good head, he might be hung on the handsome flag, or he didn't even have the qualifications to be hung on the handsome flag, and was thrown directly into the river.
Looking at the general's expression, Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that this guy should have been taken down by himself.
The reason why I thought of this way was because Han Xin said something in a conversation after Yinggao killed Xiang Liang, that is, what scared the enemy was not death itself, but knowing that he was on the road to death, and it was getting closer and closer......
Although it scared the other party Han Xin so much, he had a little disdain for himself, but now is the time to race against time, and he can't control it so much.
Han Xin's situation, Xiang Yu didn't know, Ying Gao didn't know so much detail, they both had their own set of things to do now, and they didn't have time to take care of those at all.
When Xiang Yu in Chen County gave an order, the children of Jiangdong rushed to those carriages like tigers slaughtered, they had not fought such a hearty battle for a long time, and their hearts were also very much looking forward to it.
But what made Xiang Yu feel a little surprised was that the number of Qin soldiers escorting these carriages seemed to be not a lot, no matter how five or six thousand, if he tried his best to resist him, he would not be wiped out by the army under his command in an instant.
But these Qin soldiers had just found out that they had been attacked, and they almost ran away before they could meet the soldiers in Jiangdong.
What kind of virtue did the soldiers of Great Qin have, of course Xiang Yu knew, and if he ran such a thing before he had a fight, the Qin soldiers were almost rarely able to do it.
A full row of carriages, which looked heavy, were all thrown on the road.
This ease was completely unexpected by Xiang Yu, which made him mutter in his heart, but these carriages and the boxes on the carriages were really placed in front of him.
"Open these boxes and inspect them one by one to see what they are?"
When the soldiers of Jiangdong lined up, and all of them reached out to open the seemingly tight wooden box, a sudden change occurred!
The lids of those wooden boxes suddenly opened on their own, and when the sergeants of Jiangdong subconsciously looked in the moonlight, they realized that there was no grain or grass at all, let alone weapons, but living people......
Almost all of the boxes opened on their own at the same time, and there was nothing else inside, it was none other than the Great Qin soldiers who were holding the Qin crossbow tightly in their hands!
"Not good!"
Xiang Yu saw this situation clearly, but before he could say anything, let alone the Jiangdong sergeants who had just relaxed around the box, they fired arrows one by one......
Caught off guard, the Koto sergeant was shot down by several hundred, which caused quite a commotion at that time.
In this instant, Xiang Yu's heart fell directly from the clouds to the mortal world.
What he was most afraid of, but he had been comforting himself that it would not happen, happened at this moment, this huge flaw in the Qin soldiers that he deliberately discovered was completely a trap, and it was obvious that after he fell into this trap, with his high temperament and ability, this battle, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult.
"Major General? What should we do in such a situation? ”
As soon as such an accident happened, Long Er's heart was also half cold, what was Xiang Yu's idea in his heart, Long He knew it too well, Fan Zeng and Zhang Liangquan didn't agree much with this matter, so Xiang Yu can be said to be at a great risk, and now that such a thing is coming, in case of defeat this time, it is not necessary to have such an opportunity.
"Quickly withdraw to Shouchun, I'm afraid that the emperor of Great Qin at this time will not stay in Chen County honestly, and Shouchun is ......in danger."
