Chapter 91: To be a queen
Xiang Yu's march was also relatively slow, and he still wanted to wait for Hua Long and Ji Ling to come over, less than 200 miles away, they walked for 3 and a half days. Finally, on the night when Xiang Yu arrived at the border, Hua Long and Ji Ling arrived, and everyone's confidence increased a lot.
Xiang Yu confronted the allied forces of Chu and Jin in Ertian, Xiang Yu said: "General Deng, if you want to annihilate us, we will simply launch a general attack." If we want to test our strength, we will send some people to attack first in a ratio of 2 to 6. ”
Deng Liang discussed with Fan Qi and said, "General Xiang, let's let General Fan Qi of the Jin State lead 60,000 horses on our side, and you can send 30,000 out, we don't want to take too much advantage." ”
Xiang Yu said, "Okay." Then he prepared to lead the dragoon battalion to attack.
Ji Ling suddenly said: "Brother Xiang, let me lead the Fengqi Battalion, you have to keep the pressure formation to prevent them from raiding." ”
Xiang Yu said: "It's okay, princess be careful." ”
So Ji Ling stepped forward and said, "General Fan, my name is Ji Ling, and this time I will lead 20,000 people to fight against you." ”
Fan Qi saw that it was a female general, and thought to himself, Xiang Yu didn't take himself too seriously, so he said: "It's the first time I, Fan, have seen a woman lead a soldier, and I'm afraid that it won't be very honorable if I win." ”
Deng Liang said to him: "General Fan, don't be careless, this General Ji has some ability." ”
Ji Ling saw that he looked down on himself, so he didn't want to talk too much nonsense with him, and said, "Let's start." ”
The war drums of the two sides beat up, and Ji Ling led the Fengqi battalion and rushed over in the lead. Of the 60,000 people in the Fan period, 35,000 were cavalry, and of the 300,000 Jin troops he brought, there were only 70,000 cavalry in total. Now sending so many at one time also wants to win the first battle and kill Xiang Yu's majesty.
Fan Qi saw that Ji Ling, as a general and a woman, was not commanding beside him, but was still rushing to the front line, and felt that it was too incredible. He also thought just now that Ji Ling should have a good brain, understand the art of war, and know how to set up formations before leading the troops.
After Ji Ling rushed into the Jin army, it was almost one move at a time, and the soldiers on the other side couldn't get close to her at all. In addition, her weapons and equipment are all superior, and her strength is great, she is like entering a no-man's land, like chopping melons and vegetables, and in less than ten minutes, she killed nearly 20 people.
Although the soldiers of the Feng Cavalry Battalion are not as powerful as Ji Ling, they are much stronger than the soldiers of the Jin Army, especially the protective equipment, and there is no problem with occasionally being stabbed and half robbed.
The whole scene gives people the feeling that Ji Ling's team is like a huge wave, pushing towards the 60,000 people in the Fan period, and the soldiers of the Jin army will fall down as soon as they touch it. In just over half an hour, the Jin army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and Ji Ling's side suffered more than 100 casualties.
Fan Qi was shocked by this scene, Deng Liang immediately reminded him to beat the drum to withdraw the troops, Fan Qi hurriedly ordered to withdraw, thinking, it was too scary, a little late retreat, a large number of people died.
Ji Ling didn't chase after him, so he led people back to the camp. Xiang Yu immediately stepped forward and asked, "General Deng, General Fan, now you have also seen the effect, are you still fighting?" ”
Deng Liang said: "General Xiang, I really admire it, I didn't expect General Ji to have your demeanor in battle, but I feel that you soldiers seem to be much stronger than before." The battle will not be fought, and my king was also sowed discord by the king of Yue, all of which is because the king of Yue wants to take revenge. ”
Xiang Yu asked again: "What is General Fan's opinion, don't you think it's faceless to win a woman now?" ”
Fan Qi said embarrassedly: "Everyone says that General Xiang fought bravely, and I also want to see the demeanor of General Xiang, I didn't expect a General Ji to be so powerful, I am really ashamed." The king of Jin was also instigated by others under unknown circumstances, and is now willing to negotiate peace with General Xiang. ”
Xiang Yu said: "I also want to make peace, since everyone wants to make peace, the war will not be fought." But those horses that the Jin Kingdom killed more than 10,000 people in the battle just now, give them to us. The terms of our peace were 15,000 horses. ”
Deng Liang didn't care, he didn't want them to come out of the Chu State, and besides, their Chu State didn't die a single soldier.
Fan period is a bit difficult, war horses are urgently needed by all countries to fight wars, in the past, they were all chariot battles, and horses were needed, but now all countries are developing cavalry, and they need horses even more. If you don't give it, if Xiang Yu fights to the death with himself and Chu Guo doesn't help, he is really not Xiang Yu's opponent.
Deng Liang saw that Fan Qi was embarrassed, and thought that it would not be good to let all the Jin Kingdom out, so in order not to cause conflicts with the Jin State, he said: "General Fan, give it, our Chu State is willing to give 5,000 horses." ”
In this way, Fan Qi agreed, thinking that it would be better to go back and explain to the King of Jin, so he asked people to count 10,000 horses, and Deng Liang also admitted to quit 5,000 horses.
Xiang Yu's army returned to Luoyi with 15,000 horses.
Deng Liang and Fan Qi also led the men and horses to withdraw, Deng Liang said: "General Fan, I am not afraid of death, and it is better not to fight a battle that I am not sure of." If we finish fighting with Xiang Yu here, we will form a dominant family in the Qin State, and we will lose more than we gain. ”
Fan Qi said convincingly: "Now I also know their strength, I didn't expect a woman to be so powerful." And their soldiers, not only are they well-armed, but they are also much higher in martial arts and combat effectiveness than our soldiers. ”
Deng Liang sighed: "I didn't expect that this General Ji would suddenly become so powerful, and he wasn't so strong when I saw her last time." ”
Fan Qi asked curiously: "What kind of powerful method is that Xiang Yu fighting?" ”
Deng Liang said: "Much stronger than this General Ji, General Ji can pick up a person with one shot, and Xiang Yu can pick up a horse with one shot." ”
Fan Qi shook his head and said, "Then how will this battle be fought in the future?" ”
Deng Liang said: "What we want to make up for now is the gap between the soldiers, and we have to send people to find out how Xiang Yu's soldiers were trained, and we also want to form such a team." As for Xiang Yu's personal ability, there is no way for us to learn. ”
Fan Qi said: "Then we will fight with Xiang Yu in the future, and we will never be able to fight hard." He led the troops to fight and rushed to the front alone, directly opening the way for the soldiers, which was too morale-boosting. We lead our troops to fight, and if we rush to the front, it is easy to be killed by others, and as soon as we die, the army will be in chaos. ”
Deng Liang sighed: "Yes, there is no way to make up for this, we can only have an advantage in numbers, and then we can narrow the gap between the soldiers, so that we can fight with them in the future." ”
Fan Qi said: "Hey, let's go back to China separately." ”
After Xiang Yu Hualong and the others returned to the Luoyi military camp, Ji Ling smiled and said, "Brother Xiang, why are you like your dead second brother now, asking for people and things at every turn." ”
Xiang Yu also smiled and said: "We started to be very reasonable, General Cao and I sent them 1 million yuan first, but they refused to ask for it, saying that they had to see our strength." Since we have let Princess Ji take action, I won't charge any appearance fees, and I can't help you. ”
Cao Di also joked: "It seems that the reason why they don't like money is because they want to see the demeanor of our beauties." ”
Ji Ling was very happy to be praised and said, "How come you are all as virtuous as that dead rascal." ”
Ji Yan also said: "Yes, there are several big men, none of them are serious." ”
Xiang Yu said: "Second brother, why don't you say a few words." ”
Hua Long said: "I now find that I don't have a chance to speak for myself, and you are now more and more crazy than the other." ”
Xiang Yu said: "Then let's be serious, now that the Yue Kingdom has been destroyed by us, the territory has increased a lot, but our troops have only increased by 30,000, what do we plan to do in the future." ”
Hua Long said: "It would be nice if it ran into a small country like Yue Guo that threw itself into the net." ”
Ji Yan said: "It's impossible, the last time they fought the Song Kingdom, they surrendered and became vassals at the beginning." ”
Cao Di said: "I think other countries will learn from us and also go to form special forces." ”
Ji Ling said: "Yes, they are also engaged in special forces, so it is not so easy to deal with." ”
