Hongshui Camp.

This is the original border between the Chu State and the Song State, and this is where the Chinese army camp of the Western Front of the Chu Army is located.

Xiong Biao asked, "Ling Yin, the Wei State captured our Qi Di Xuan camp, but did not advance further west, but occupied the Jiang Qi Land, and seemed to be preparing for war with the Zhao army. Will the Wei army on the Xingang side attack the land of Wuyue that our Great Chu has just occupied? ”

"No!" Xiong Zilan is very confident.

"General Xiang has calculated that the Wei army in Xingang will not get any benefit from attacking Wu Yue, and at that time the land is now vast and sparsely populated, so what if it is captured, if it does not solve the siege of the old and new capitals of Wei, the Wei State will destroy the country."

Xiong Biao asked again: "Will that attack my Da Chu's Shouchun?" ”

"Isn't that better."

The state of Chu has already transferred enough troops, and the Qianzhong side has borrowed 30,000 Qin troops to guard the important pass, and the Yue State in Lingnan will definitely not have a chance to attack it.

The Qin State had a ten-year non-attack agreement, so the troops on the Qin-Chu border were also transferred back.

It can be said that at present, in addition to the troops defending the capital and important cities, the state of Chu has mobilized a total of 450,000 troops, half of which are located in the east and northeast of the state of Chu, just to deal with the main force of the Wei army in Xingang.

Then the other half divided the troops into two routes, east and west to attack Suiyang.

Thirty miles north of Hongshui Daying.

One of the sentry of the Chu army lost his life in the dark, and then one by one, at least ten miles of the sentry were killed silently.

The Chu army naturally has its own communication system, and if the sentinel has been missing for an hour and a half, the main battalion will definitely be aware of it.

After the sentinels within ten miles were cleared, the wolf blade guards around Bai Hui began to evacuate, and they couldn't let anyone find out, all of this had the shadow of the Qin army.

The Qin State has not attacked for ten years, and this sentence must be insisted on to the end on the bright side.

The Chu army sentinel was lost, and there was no information to send back to the main camp from the second watch, and the commander of the northern battalion of the Chu army immediately realized that something was wrong and dispatched troops and horses to prepare for battle.

A team of 1,000 people, less than ten miles out of the camp, exchanged hands with the Wei army.

The Wei army fought a counter-ambush, 5,000 men and horses against the Chu army 1,000, although the victory was a victory, but the casualties reached 700.

Hearing the news, Bai Hui felt a lack of confidence for the first time.

5,000 to 1,000, under the favorable terrain and fighters, there were 700 casualties.

Was the Chu army too strong, or was the Wei army too weak?

Wei Wuji was very embarrassed, he also knew that this record was too bad, Wei Wuji walked up to Bai Hui: "Dahejun, only one thousand of the ten thousand Chu troops are the defenders of Daliang, and the remaining nine thousand people are transferred from the surrounding small cities. ”

"You mean, the lower army of the Wei army met the middle army of the Chu army, or even the upper army?"

Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, Bai Hui's words might not be understood by Wei Jiang.

The Qin army was divided into the middle army, the front army, and the rear army. According to the combat strength, it is divided into the upper army, the middle army, and the lower army. The upper, middle, and lower armies, represented by the Wei State, are distinguished between the forward troops, the main forces, and the logistics baggage troops.

Wei Wuji also understood Bai Hui's meaning because he understood the military system of the Qin army.

Bai Hui meant that the inferior troops of Wei met the elite of the Chu army.

Wei Wuji said: "The Wei army still needs 30,000 elites to break the camp. ”

"It's fine." Bai Huixin said that the task of the 10,000 people is just a feint and the task of luring the enemy, and it doesn't matter if it is weak, but Bai Hui is really worried that tonight according to his plan to storm the Hongshui camp of the Chu army, then the task of the feint is to transfer the main force of the Chu army, and then the main force of the Wei army will attack the camp.

Otherwise, with the total strength of the Chu army being higher than that of the Wei army, it would be difficult for the large battalion to attack.

The northern camp of the Chu army.

None of the 1,000-strong troops fled back, and the Chu army realized that the Wei army might be quite numerous.

The various camps of the Chu army occupy a favorable terrain and are in defensive formations.

"Report ......"

One piece of information was sent to the chief general of the North Battalion.

The commander of the northern battalion of the Chu army personally led his troops to the front line to check, which startled him by the torches all over the mountains.

"General, looking at the length of the Wei army and the density of the torches being assembled, the Wei army will not be less than 100,000 people."

"Ordered, ordered all the armies in the northern camp to act according to the plan, and sent people to ask the main battalion to support 80,000 soldiers and horses. Eat these 100,000 Wei troops, I am afraid that the Wei State will have no troops to send unless the soldiers and horses north of the Great River are mobilized. ”

"No!"

The Wei army took advantage of the night and was slowly advancing.

At present, there were only 9,300 men and horses, all of them on foot, and there were bamboo frames on horseback, each of which was at least one zhang wide, and more than ten torches were tied to them.

Each soldier also carried a bamboo frame with three to five torches on it.

Their task was to create the illusion of 100,000 men and attract the soldiers and horses of the Hongshui battalion to surround them.

The main general of the Chu army watched from a distance as the Wei army stopped, and the torches stopped moving.

A quarter of an hour later, about 3,000 Wei troops made the first assault on the Chu army's defensive line, and the fighting was not fierce, which was the norm on the battlefield, and the first time the soldiers and horses were tentative attacks.

After mutual casualties, the Wei army launched an attack with 8,000 men and horses half an hour later.

After the Wei army took the first line of defense of the Chu army, it was beaten back by the soldiers and horses counterattacked by the Chu army.

The first general came to the main general of the Chu army: "General, the soldiers and horses on both sides can complete the two wings in half an hour, and the Hongshui battalion has sent 80,000 horses, and at most one hour can surround the enemy's rear formation." ”

"Okay, strengthen the defensive line, wait another hour, and it's time for a general attack."

Talk on both sides.

As soon as Bai Hui heard that the 80,000 people in the Hongshui camp had been transferred out, he immediately ordered the 90,000 Wei troops in his hands to throw away all the sundries and only bring one meal of dry food, and then march thirty miles in a hurry, with half an hour as the upper limit, to capture the Hongshui camp of the Chu army in a desperate and bloody battle.

The Wei army was 80,000, and the Chu army had 40,000 soldiers and horses in the Hongshui battalion.

80,000 to 40,000, Bai Hui did not have full confidence at this time, but this battle must be fought, and if he can't take the Hongshui camp, the Wei army has no possibility of reversing at all.

Four watches.

The 10,000 Wei troops who feinted to attack have already suffered casualties of almost 4,000 men and horses.

They began to retreat, these people were to flee before they were surrounded, and the seriously injured had no choice but to stay.

In front of the Hongshui camp, the Wei army did not have a tentative attack at all, although the 80,000 horses could not be launched immediately, but as soon as they were dispatched, the elite of the 20,000 Wei army in the city of Liang attacked the Hongshui camp.

In the camp, Xiong Zilan was woken up.

"Report, the Wei army attacked the camp on a large scale, with more than hundreds of thousands of people."

"Impossible." Xiong Zilan roared.

Xiong Biao also arrived, and also said: "Impossible, the Wei army's 100,000 soldiers and horses are fighting on the Beiying defense line, how can the Wei army have another 100,000 soldiers and horses?" ”
