Seven days later, the 60,000 horses sent by Yiling City arrived in Luoyi first, and Xiang Yuhualong led the dragon and phoenix cavalry battalions to set off overnight, choosing to set off in the middle of the night, also in order to prevent spies from other countries from easily discovering it.

The journey of more than 700 miles took more than 5 days, and on the morning of the sixth day, before dawn, I found a mountain forest 40 miles away from the Vietnamese army and hid it. Xiang Yu ordered that no fire should be made during the day.

Xiang Yu first sent spies to reconnoiter the situation of the Vietnamese army, and at the same time let his army rest. In the afternoon, the spy reported: "All the Vietnamese troops are in Laizhou, because the city is too small and there is no city wall, all 200,000 Vietnamese troops are stationed outside the city." ”

Xiang Yu ordered everyone to continue to rest, two hours before sunrise, start to make rice, half an hour to finish eating, rest for two moments and set off. So everyone ate some dry food and continued to rest.

The next day, before dawn, Xiang Yu and Hua Long set off with their troops, and when they arrived at the Vietnamese military camp a few miles away, it was just dawn.

King Yue suffered Xiang Yu's loss last time, so this time he was more cautious, the army has always been on high alert, and when Xiang Yu's army was 20 miles away from his military camp, the spies had already found out.

Soon after the Vietnamese army received the report from the spies, Xiang Yu's army had already arrived, Xiang Yu's march was too fast, and it was just dawn, although the Vietnamese army was not in a hurry, but the preparation was not quite sufficient.

Xiang Yu first led the dragoon battalion, avoiding its edge, and attacked from the left side of the Vietnamese army, so that the Vietnamese army could concentrate on defending the left side. Xiang Yu's offensive was too fierce, King Yue saw his soldiers fall one by one, and he was a little frightened, he didn't expect that the tens of thousands of cavalry that Xiang Yu brought this time were several times stronger than the last time, not only the soldiers were brave, but also the weapons and equipment were good.

The king of Yue commanded more soldiers to defend Xiang Yu, and at this time, Ji Ling led the phoenix cavalry battalion to the right side of the Yue army, attacking the dragoon battalion that was not weaker than Xiang Yu. The Vietnamese army is now being flanked from both sides, and because the personnel are too concentrated, the soldiers in the middle cannot come out for a while and cannot play a role.

After an hour of fighting between the two sides, Xiang Yu and Ji Ling's 50,000 horses had already killed 40,000 Vietnamese troops, and their own side suffered only a few hundred casualties. The king of Yue has completely lost confidence this time, he doesn't know how to command, and the Vietnamese army has no morale.

After nearly an hour of fighting, the Vietnamese army suffered more than 70,000 casualties. The general next to him said, "King, let's withdraw, if we don't withdraw, we will be wiped out." ”

King Yue was also frightened and unconscious, and now he came back to his senses and hurriedly ordered to withdraw.

Xiang Yu and Ji Ling continued to chase with men and horses, and after 30 miles of pursuit, Ji Ling led the Fengcai battalion to the capital of Yueguo. Xiang Yu still led the dragoon battalion to continue the pursuit, and after chasing for another 30 miles, he turned around and went back. Xiang Yu was afraid that the combined forces of Chu and Jin would attack Luoyi, and he urgently needed to rush back to support.

King Yue led his men and horses to flee for another 30 miles, and only stopped after making sure that there was no Xiang Yu chasing after him. Then the number of people was counted, and only 60,000 people remained, and now the army of the whole country of Yue is only 90,000, and the country has basically been destroyed.

The king of Yue was already desperate in his heart, regretting that he should not have listened to the instigation of the king of Chu, and now his country is dead, but the two countries of Chu and Jin are unscathed. What he didn't expect was that Xiang Yu's army suddenly seemed to have risen by several levels.

King Yue reorganized the army, and then rushed to the capital with 60,000 horses, thinking: I will not send anyone to inform the Chu State of the result on his side, so that it is better for them to fight in Luoyi.

But one of his generals said: "Great King, we should send someone to inform the Chu army, saying that Xiang Yu has brought 80,000 horses to attack us, and let them attack Luoyi quickly to help us relieve the pressure." Then they may be fighting and will not have the energy to take care of us. ”

King Yue also felt that he was confused, and he didn't think of this, so he immediately sent someone to report to the Chu army.

When Hua Long, Ji Ling, and Ji Yan arrived at Huiji, the capital of Yueguo, Shen You's 20,000 horses had only arrived for two days, but they had already blocked the gate of Huiji.

Shen You asked Hua Long: "General Hua, when will we attack the city." ”

Hua Long said: "The city will not be attacked, we will ambush the army that fled back from the Yue Kingdom, kill the king of Yue, and the entire Yue army will surrender." ”

Ji Yan said: "It would be good if King Yue surrendered directly, and there would be no more casualties here." ”

Hua Long asked: "General Shen, did you send spies to reconnoiter the route back from the Vietnamese army?" ”

Shen You said: "It has been sent." ”

Hua Long said: "Okay, then let's wait here, it is estimated that if they are fast, it will arrive in 2 days." ”

On the day when Hua Long led the phoenix cavalry battalion to Huiji, Xiang Yu also led the dragon cavalry battalion back to Luoyi, Xiang Yu only took 12 days to come and go, and when he returned to Luoyi, Chu and Jin had not yet begun to attack Luoyi City.

In fact, a few days after Xiang Yu led the dragon and phoenix cavalry battalions to set off, the king of Chu and the king of Jin also received a report from the spies, but found that Xiang Yu's troops transferred back to Luoyi were more than the troops sent by Xiang Yu to Luoyi. Therefore, the 600,000 allied troops of Chu and Jin were camped 100 miles away from the border of the Zhou Dynasty, and they did not act rashly.

The day before Xiang Yu returned to Luoyi, the combined forces of Chu and Jin received a report from the king of Yue: "Xiang Yu has led 80,000 people to attack our Yue army, and the king of Yue has asked you to attack Luoyi quickly." ”

Deng Liang, the general of the Chu and Jin coalition armies, thought that Xiang Yu was not in Luoyi, so he asked the army to set off for Luoyi the next day. Two days after the march, as soon as they entered the border of the Zhou Dynasty, the spies reported: "Xiang Yu has returned to Luoyi with tens of thousands of people. ”

Deng Liang hesitated again, this time he was in a dilemma, and he entered the border of the Zhou Dynasty. Let's fight, Xiang Yu has brought tens of thousands of people back to help, and there is no certainty of victory; If you don't fight, the 600,000 allied troops of Chu and Jin have already entered the border of the Zhou Dynasty, and if they retreat, they will be laughed at by the world.

Deng Liang thought about it for a long time and decided to station the army on the border of the Zhou Dynasty and send people to understand the situation of the Vietnamese army before making a decision.

The capital of Yue Kingdom will be Ji, and the king of Yue led 60,000 soldiers to flee back to less than 100 miles away from the capital, and was blocked by Hua Long with 40,000 horses.

King Yue knew that he could no longer escape, so he stopped the army, but when he saw that the other party was not leading the army, it was not Xiang Yu, so he said: "May I ask what the general is called, where is General Xiang?" ”

Hua Long said: "My name is Hua Long, General Xiang has already led his troops back to Luoyi, and he is afraid that Chu and Jin will attack Luoyi, so he rushed back to support." ”

King Yue said: "General Hua is now preparing to destroy the Yue Kingdom." ”

Hua Long said: "King Yue, originally you didn't attack the Zhou Dynasty, and we couldn't find a reason to attack you for a while. If you lead more than 200,000 men to defend the capital, we will suffer heavy casualties, and we will not easily send troops to attack you. Now that it's over, make everyone surrender. ”

At this time, one of the generals under the king of Yue said: "You only have these tens of thousands of horses now, we have 60,000, plus there are 30,000 in the capital, the number is twice as many as you, why do you want to surrender." ”

Ji Ling immediately said, "Then we will continue to fight." ”

The general was about to speak, but King Yue waved his hand and asked him not to speak, and then said to himself: "You don't have to fight, you will lose if you fight, and you will have to sacrifice so many lives." ”

Hua Long also said: "King Yue, your city is full of recruits for about a year, and your combat ability is not very good, so you should surrender?" ”

King Yue asked: "General Hua, after I surrender, what are you going to do with my people." ”

Hua Long said: "Many of your soldiers have been forcibly conscripted in recent years, and we are ready to disband, and we will accept those who are willing to stay and continue to fight with us." As for you and your family, you will move to Luoyi, and the king of Zhou will give you a fortune, and your private property can also be brought over, and the king of Zhou will definitely ensure the safety of your property. ”

King Yue said: "Okay, General Hua, seeing your development in the past two years, I also believe that you will treat the people and soldiers preferentially. But I want to go back to the capital first, I don't know if General Hua will allow it. ”

Hua Long said, "Okay, I'll let all of you 60,000 soldiers go back to the city." ”
