"He was ready to die in battle, but he didn't think about it, as soon as he died, the lives of these tens of thousands of soldiers were gone, you definitely won't leave, and you will die in battle, and General Xiang, he is only in a coma now, not dead yet, why doesn't he think of a way to lead everyone to win the battle, then everyone doesn't have to die, is he responsible." The prince continued.

The princess also said, "Yes, my brother is right. ”

was said by the prince, Hua Long also thought: Yes, Brother Xiang is not dead yet, I have survived this hurdle, everyone does not have to die, Brother Xiang can wake up by then, and we can continue to fight side by side, at this time I can't give up a little, I want to give everyone confidence. Then he said to the prince: "Thank you prince for reminding me, I will think about it alone, and in the afternoon I will ask everyone to discuss the battle plan together." ”

Hua Long thought: We came with 30,000 soldiers, this siege received more than 3,500 troops, if you add the princess's 5,000, the defenders in several other places also have 5,000, there are 43,000 people, almost 1 to 2 troops to fight, we should have a chance, and the other party can't think that we have more than 40,000 troops, there may be a light enemy, they estimate that there will be 2-3 days to arrive.

In the afternoon, in the war room, Hua Long said: "If you have any ideas, tell us." ”

Some say to defend the city; Some said no, we have a lot of cavalry, and we have an advantage when we fight outside.

"We have more than 30,000 cavalry, and it is right to fight outside the city" Hua Long said: "In this way: Wang Hedong and Lü Fei each led 10,000 cavalry, Wu Changfeng and Xia Qi each led 2,000 infantry, and the four of you followed me to meet the enemy head-on; Chen Rong and Chen Lichuan each led 2,000 infantry to defend the city together; The prince and princess led 5,000 cavalry, Chen Sheng led 5,000 cavalry, you lay in ambush on both sides, if we have the advantage, you flank them from both sides, if we are inferior, you attack the troops behind them in a roundabout way, help us reduce the pressure. In addition, Chen Sheng sent someone to call Liu Hu of the original country, and brought all the soldiers who were defending the city in several places to come over to support, and they must arrive tomorrow. ”

Everyone was ordered to disperse.

In the afternoon of the next day, Liu Hu brought 5,000 cavalry over, and Hua Long said to him: "This time Zheng Guo's 100,000 troops are coming, if they don't attack within two days, you can find an opportunity to go to their rear, find a way to burn their grain and grass, and force them to fight quickly." In a protracted war, we suffer losses: first, our forces are less than half of them; Second, there is no support in our rear, but they have the powerful Zheng Guo. ”

Another day later, in the morning, the spies came to report that Zheng's army was only 80 miles away from me, and in the evening, the spies reported that Zheng's army had camped 10 miles outside the city.

In order to prevent them from suddenly attacking and besieging the city, Hualong also stationed troops outside the city, and on the first day, the Zheng army did not attack, and sent a messenger, agreeing that the two sides would fight tomorrow morning. Hua Long thought, this is the brain into the water, and the time for the war is still agreed, but it is not strange to think that the history books say that during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a monarch surnamed Xu who fought a war, and he was destroyed because he was too benevolent and righteous.

The next day, the two sides fought, Zheng army dispatched 90,000 and cavalry 30,000, Hua Long thought: This seems to be preparing to destroy himself in a battle. Both sides were fronted by cavalry, and the main generals stood in the middle. The other party's main general, Shen You, shouted: "In Xia Shen You, may I ask the general's surname?" ”

Hua Long thought: There are so many famous people in a war, and he said directly: "The name is not enough to worry about, and you don't want to ask me why I want to attack Jiguo, just go to war." ”

Shen You was stunned for a moment, and thought: Why don't you play cards according to the routine, as if waiting for me to attack, is there any ambush, but I can't see it, we have 90,000, they are less than 30,000, and the cavalry is not as many as me, so I can't help but attack.

Shen You observed again for more than 10 minutes, and his subordinates were urging, General Shen, attack, don't hesitate, they are less than 30,000 horses, we are all 3 against 1, no matter how we fight, we can win. Shen You thought: I can't hesitate any longer, so with a wave of his sword, he attacked, and the cavalry rushed over.

Hualong and they didn't move, and when the Zheng cavalry was only 200 meters away, Hualong also waved his sword and flashed. The cavalry dodged quickly to the sides, revealing two rows of large crossbows in front, followed by rows of archers, and then rows of catapults. It turned out that the Hualong army only stood a few rows of cavalry in front, blocking the other party's line of sight and playing a confusing role. Now the arrows and crossbows and catapults are fired together, the arrows and crossbows are double arrows, the war horses are hit by the catapults and the arrows, and they die on the spot, only to see the opposing cavalry fall one by one, many war horses crash together, the dead war horses fall to the ground, slowing down the momentum, and some sporadic cavalry rushing over were shot to death by the archers.

In a quarter of an hour, the cavalry of the Zheng army lost more than half, in fact, half of the cavalry here were bumped together, Shen You saw that if this continued, the cavalry would die, if they withdrew, they rushed over, and the casualties were also large. Just as they were about to retreat, suddenly a cavalry on each side of the army attacked the infantry behind them, Hua Long's sword waved, catapults and crossbows stopped attacking, and 20,000 cavalry rushed out.

In this way, Zheng Guo's army was in chaos, all fled backwards, Hua Long led the troops to chase and kill behind, after Zheng Jun fled for a few miles, Liu Hu's troops, who were originally going to burn grain and grass, saw that Zheng Jun was on the run, and also joined the pursuit, Zheng Jun saw more and more chasing soldiers, and fled more desperately, some weapons were dropped, Hua Long ordered, keep chasing, chase until the other party's city appeared and then return, so that it has been chasing for more than 60 miles, before stopping.

In this battle, Hualong suffered more than 3,000 casualties, Zheng killed more than 70,000, 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry.

After dinner, Hualong gathered everyone together and said: "This time we have won a complete victory, we strike while the iron is hot, Liu Hu, you take 10,000 horses to attack Liao, this country is connected with the original country, Su State, and Zheng State, Lu Fei and Wang Hedong each bring 10,000 horses to attack the city of Zheng State from the left and right, every time you fight a place, you must do a good job of pacifying the people, and then leave some soldiers to manage the local area, and then lay down a city after stabilizing, and strive to eat half of the land of Zheng State, they are now greatly injured, There's no energy left to hit us again. We must remember to do a good job in recruiting soldiers, collect everyone, start leaving tomorrow, and report the battle situation in a timely manner. Xia Qi led his troops to recover the grain left by Zheng Jun tonight. ”

Xia Qi said: "When you went to chase Zheng Jun, I took people to take it back." ”

Hua Long said happily: "Your kid has grown. ”

In the evening, Hua Long went to see Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu's complexion was much better, so he said to Li Tingting: "I've worked hard for you these past few days." ”

Li Tingting said: "Brother Hua, no, I didn't dare to talk to Brother Xiang before, but I have been staying with him for the past few days, and I feel very happy." ”

Hua Long said: "Brother Xiang will notify me when he wakes up." ”

"Okay, Brother Hua, go and rest, it's been a day's battle." Li Tingting said.

Hua Long also felt a little tired, so he went to rest.

Early the next morning, Li Tingting came over to call Hua Long and said, "Brother Hua, Brother Xiang is awake." ”

Hua Long hurriedly ran over and saw that Xiang Yu was awake, Hua Long almost burst into tears, and his eyes were wet.

Xiang Yu saw it and said: "Second brother, I'm awake, what are you still sad about, I'm in good health, I can't die." ”

"Big brother, I'm excited to see you wake up!" Hua Long said.

After a while, a bunch of people came into Xiang Yu's room, and everyone heard that Xiang Yu had woken up, so they all came over.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xiang Yu said: "Second brother, what about the girl who assassinated me? ”

Hua Long replied: "Big brother, don't worry, I let Xia Xueqin live with her, ask people to take turns on duty, watch her, don't let her escape, don't let her commit suicide." ”

"It's still the second brother who thinks thoughtfully, and I want to see her now." Xiang Yu said.

"Big brother, don't worry, your injury is not healed now, and besides, it will be embarrassing for you to meet now, this can only be done slowly." Hua Long said.

Xiang Yu thought about it: "Second brother, I listen to you." ”
