Chapter 57: The young general Xiang Yu

Zhao Gao didn't sleep well all night, and almost every time he fell asleep, he would wake up in a nightmare. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info either dreamed of countless ironclad cavalry wearing black armor rushing into Xianyang City, or dreamed that he was slashed by Yun Yue. Every knife seemed to cut on his body, and every time he woke up, his body was covered with cold sweat, as if he had been fished out of water.

Early in the morning, Zhao Gao got up. There are many things to do today, and the grain from Aocang outside the city must be brought into Xianyang Palace as soon as possible. The displaced people in the city should be evacuated as soon as possible, and the forbidden army needs to be pacified. I can't say that I will bleed heavily, but there is not much money left in the treasury. It's all a headache, and Zhao Gao doesn't even know what he should do first.

"My lord, I can't find Lord Ling Yin and General Zhao Tuo." Just after breakfast, Zhao Gao heard shocking news. His two right-hand men were nowhere to be found.

"Can't find it? What do you mean? "Zhao Gao hasn't understood the taste for a while. Why are the two big living people gone?

"I heard that Lord Ling Yin and General Zhao Tuo went out of the city last night. I thought I would come back in the morning, but when I looked for them again this morning, no one knew where they were. The steward said with some trepidation.

"Have you looked for Ao Cang?" Zhao Gao thought about it and asked a little anxiously.

"I've sent someone to look for it, but no!"

Zhao Gao's heart sank suddenly, these two should not have slipped away. If both of them slip away, they're still playing with their own. The forbidden army can't play without Zhao Tuo at all, and Xianyang Mansion is all Yan Le's people. As soon as the two of them left, they would definitely be blind.

"Bastard, send someone to chase me. Hurry up and catch it back! Zhao Gao roared angrily. The stewards hurriedly went down and ordered the men to find the two bastards who had escaped.

Just when Zhao Gao roared helplessly, the Chu army had already crossed the Yellow River and approached the city of Daliang.

Daliang City, the capital of the former Wei state. It had just been occupied by the Qin army for a few months, and now it had ushered in an offensive and defensive battle that seemed to be even more ferocious. After the initial defeat that the Qin army experienced, it immediately adjusted. They are the iron-blooded Qin army, and this army has unspeakable pride in its bones. Although the number was much worse than that of the Chu army, none of the Qin troops fighting in the city retreated.

The corpses under the city of Daliang were spread layer after layer, and the corpses in the distance were full of arrows. It was obviously the masterpiece of the powerful Qin crossbow, and the corpses in the vicinity were all killed at the head of the city by the Qin soldiers. Or the Chu army who fell from the city wall of the girder and was thrown to death.

"General, the casualties are too great. In one morning, more than 2,000 of our brothers died. If we continue to fight like this, the whole army will collapse. The lieutenant ran to Xiang Liang and almost pleaded to Xiang Liang.

The face of the necklace was unwavering, as if he hadn't heard what the captain said. He glanced at the captain and said coldly, "Who asked you to come back?" The voice was as cold as a block of ice, without the slightest hint of warmth. As soon as these words came out, the temperature around him seemed to drop suddenly, and the captain shivered.

"Subordinate......! Subordinates ......! "Captain Nuo Nuo can't say a complete sentence.

"Retreat, slash!" Xiang Liang spat out five cold words from his mouth. Then he ignored the captain, and immediately a tiger and wolf guard rushed up and took the captain aside. The captain kept shouting for the general to spare his life, and the sound of his life after the knife still had an epilogue, but the head had already fallen to the ground. A stream of blood "squeaked" out of the distance, looking resentful.

Things came suddenly and quickly, and the generals of the Chu army had no time to intercede. The human head is already gnawing mud on the ground! Many people followed Xiang Liang for the first time, and they didn't expect this Xiang family's future leader. On weekdays, he is easy-going, but he doesn't even blink his eyelids when he kills. It is really kind and does not lead soldiers, and righteousness does not gather wealth.

Xiang Liang also has suffering in his heart, according to Xiang Yan's meaning. Xiang Liang should stay in the Chinese army with him and help him take care of the military affairs of the Chinese army, so as to cultivate his commanding talent. But Xiang Liang insisted on going his own way, but he wanted to compete to be this pioneer officer. In the end, it even alarmed Changping Jun, and finally Changping Jun personally persuaded Xiang Yan to make the leader of the Great Chu military nod and agree.

In this way, he became this pioneer officer, and Xiang Liang certainly wanted to make more contributions. At the beginning, the war was going fairly well. But when he arrived at the city of Daliang, the war took a sharp turn. The Chu army rushed towards Daliang City like sea water, but the damned city wall was like a breakwater, smashing the Chu army's charging team to pieces. Countless Chu armies were like small waves, which quickly bloomed and then fell and withered.

Those damn Qin armies are sometimes on the verge of collapse. But he still stuck there, no matter how the Chu army slapped like the sea, it stood like a reef.

Xiang Liang looked at Daliang City with resentment, this city that was broken by the Qin army a few months ago, how could he not break it.

"Uncle, the loss of your attack is too great. Are you sure you really want to do that? Xiang Yu stood beside Xiang Liang, and only he dared to approach Xiang Liang, who was almost crazy, at this time.

"Daliang is the Central Plains Dayi, which not only occupies the hub of the Yellow River. It is also a key position for Guanzhong to communicate with the outside, and our army only needs to occupy the main beam. It was possible to threaten Wang Qian's logistical supply lines, and the Qin army occupied the east not long after. The people's hearts have not yet returned, if Wang Jian is to defend Handan. It will be quickly consumed by us there, if we capture the girder. Wang Jian wanted not to be completely annihilated, so he could only retreat to Hangu Pass. At that time, all the land of the Central Plains will belong to my Chu State.

My Great Chu will wave his army again to sweep the Qi State and fight against Qiang Qin with the strength of the entire Central Plains. Even if it is the Qin of the tiger and wolf, I am afraid it will not be pleased. The only thing that matters now is time, and if too much time is delayed here, Wang Jian will calmly arrange a defensive line behind the girders. And will calmly retreat from Handan. If you want to destroy the tyrannical Qin, you must kill Wang Jian first. It would be best to leave him in the Central Plains and kill him. "Regarding the military strategy of the Chu army, Xiang Yan and Xiang Liang, as well as Changping Jun, have been deduced many times on the sand table.

This time, the Chu army fought hard, which was actually a battle to gamble on the fortunes of the country. In any case, the elite Qin army led by Wang Jian must be blocked east of Hangu Pass and killed. If they fled back to Hangu Pass, the state of Chu would occupy a vast territory. Once the Qin army recovers, it will not be able to hold it.

Now it's taking advantage of your illness to kill you. Desperately broke off one of the arms of the Qin army, and the Great Qin lost more than the generals. Unable to continue looking eastward, the state of Chu could smoothly take over the large tracts of land and population left by the state of Qin. It only takes a few years of strategy to surpass the Qin State in terms of manpower, material and financial resources. At that time, as long as Yunyue in the northwest is contacted, Hangu Pass does not seem to be an insurmountable barrier.

The most important thing in this strategy is time, and the Chu army must quickly advance north. blocked Wang Qian's road to the west, and the girder is the strongest link on this road. As long as you take the girder, you can hoard grain and grass in the girder. Become a huge logistical supply center. The Chu army could blockade Hangu Pass to the west and attack Wang Jian to the east. To the north, it can directly attack the former Korean territory where the Qin army is weak. No matter which way it is attacked, it is a huge threat to the Qin army.

But now, the army has attacked under the city of Daliang repeatedly, but the troops have been lost. It has been a long time since we have been able to take down this key link in the campaign!

"Daliang City is extremely strong, and in some ways even stronger than Handan. Last year, Wang Ben also dug the water of the Yellow River. It trapped Daliang for nine months, flooding Daliang City to the point that epidemics were rampant, and the people were struggling to make a living. Only then did Daliang be captured, and it was not so much that Daliang was defeated by the Qin army, but that Daliang City was defeated by the epidemic. Uncle wants to take Daliang City in the short term, but I'm afraid he won't be able to do it without paying a heavy price. "Xiao Xiang Yu looks thirteen or fourteen years old, but his figure is about the same height as Xiang Liang. Among the Chu people, a figure like Xiang Yu is really an outlier.

"Don't you know when you are an uncle that attacking Daliang like this will pay a heavy price? But my uncle can't help it, time waits for no one. If Daliang cannot be conquered, Wang Jian will withdraw his troops from Handan. If we let him withdraw through Hangu Pass, even if we fail this time, even if we occupy a large amount of land, it will be in vain. Do you think that when the Qin army recovers. Can we continue to occupy these lands? Xiang Liang said helplessly.

"Yes! If the Qin army retreats to Hangu Pass, the first thing I am afraid will be to crusade against Bashu. As long as Bashu is taken, the grain of the Qin army will be full again. We will fall into passivity again. Uncle, let your nephew fight this battle for you. Xiang Yu thought seriously for a while, then raised his head and looked at Xiang Liangdao.

"Don't mess around, there are so many brave people who can't do it, how can you do it. Da Chu hasn't had your turn to go into battle yet, so I'll watch and learn from it below. Xiang Liang saw Xiang Yu's resolute eyes, and was a little moved in his heart, but he still resolutely rejected Xiang Yu's request.

"Uncle, don't underestimate people. If you want to win the girder this time, you must have a nephew. Xiang Yu's eyes were full of confidence.

Xiang Liang was a little stunned for a while, these eyes looked like his eldest brother. "Oh, looks like you've got an idea. Come on, let's see what you kid thinks. If it works, I'll let you attack. This credit, our Xiang family has it, and there are also successors to the Xiang family. ”

"Quite simply, the girder walls are rammed earth. Wang Ben excavated the Yellow River and soaked the city wall for nine months. In many areas, the walls look very strong, but in fact they are very fragile. Soon after the Qin people occupied Daliang, it was impossible to repair these walls. As long as we use the wrestlers, we will build strong fortifications under the city with logs. You can order people to cut through these walls, or even dig them down. Our army is several times larger than the Qin army, and without the city wall, can't we beat them? ”
