Chapter 468: Lao Tzu fights
But it was too late, only a "bang" was heard, and a loud bang exploded in this army of 30,000 people. The soldiers in the middle thought that standing in the middle of the line should be the safest, surrounded by "iron buckets", but they didn't expect to be the first to suffer in the end. Nearly five or six hundred people were blown up, and many of them died on the spot, and those who did not die only had half a life, only the breath that came out, and the gas that did not enter, most of them did not live long.
Xiang Yu's disciples, who were about to retreat, were already panicked when they heard this loud noise, and the teams in front and behind saw that a big hole suddenly exploded in the middle of the team, and they panicked and began to flee in all directions.
Some of the soldiers were particularly superstitious, and they began to think that someone had used demon magic to blow out a big pit in the middle, and it was rumored everywhere that this was the curse they had suffered after following Xiang Yu, and the entire army of 30,000 people began to waver, and the formation was unstable. Seeing this, Zhang Liang immediately reacted, the army on the other side must have mastered the explosives that the Flying Tiger Army used before, but what he didn't understand was that the previous explosives were all thrown over before they were detonated, and even if they were quite powerful, but at this scale, the explosion level could rival hundreds of explosive packs. And he didn't see anyone dropping the explosives, which was clearly coming directly from a distance.
Zhang Liangqing knew that it was not good, if only he had thought about it and chased these three hundred people again, this was clearly the vanguard force that lured them, and now they could not be found at all. Zhang Liang knew that if he didn't retreat at this time and hesitated to save the wounded and sick, the consequences would be even more serious, and God knew if another exploding ball would fall from the sky and kill another group of soldiers. Zhang Liang commanded everyone to retreat while looking around for who was plotting against them from a distance, "Don't panic, everyone, if anyone rumors some more nonsense, I will directly correct the Fa on the spot." Let me retreat without hesitation. ”
In this way, when the 30,000 army was cut off in the middle and was about to retreat without these compatriots bypassing the corpses in the middle, they only heard a sudden sound around them, and the soldiers who were in ambush on both sides of the road outside the city rushed out directly, and when the army behind the soldiers turned around and left the soldiers in front of them, they were inserted horizontally, directly choking their throats and making them breathless all of a sudden.
"Brothers, kill! Don't care about the retreat in front, chase after the back and haven't come yet! Zheng Ze commanded all the soldiers to rush up and fight the soldiers head-on. This was the impact of the firing range of this cannon that Supreme Treasure had anticipated, and Zheng Ze had already ambushed there in advance.
The soldiers who turned their heads and were about to retreat saw that a sudden army surrounded the troops behind them, and the main general Zhang Liang was still behind, so they naturally couldn't retreat without permission, so they turned around and prepared for reinforcements.
Unexpectedly, the shell of the second Shenji cannon of the Supreme Treasure had already been loaded and ignited the fuse, and just when the army behind was about to backhand the combined force formed by the Flying Tiger Army and the Mengying Army, it hit their vanguard impartially. This time it really completely panicked the soldiers.
The Supreme Treasure has the experience of shooting the cannon just now, and this time it has been adjusted more accurately, so this time the damage is even more severe than the damage just now, and the range of the impact is just twice as large. The soldiers were also beaten into a circle, and some of the timid ones directly transferred the team and returned directly to the city. Only the soldiers who were still trying to fight were left to come back to rescue the vanguard and the main general Zhang Liang, who were surrounded by the Flying Tiger and Mengying Alliance.
"Give me all back, who let you go, are you ready to be dealt with by the art of war? One more step and I'll kill you. Zhang Liang shouted at the top of his voice while dodging the attack of the Flying Tiger Army.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the Supreme Treasure was about to rush forward with the remaining Mengying Army to inflict heavy losses on the soldiers. Who knew the sound of the hooves of another team of people and horses not far away, "Governor, the lower officials are late in the rescue and hope to forgive the sins!" ”
It's Yan Li! Wasn't he pinned down by Liu Bang in the mountains of Huaiyue? Why did you come back so early? Supreme Treasure wondered in his heart, could it be that someone reported the news or Liu Bang became a traitor? was puzzled, and then Liu Bang also rushed to the side of the Supreme Treasure, "Returning to the general, the young general is not doing well, please punish the general, Yan County ordered to come back with the army!" I don't know why, but their governor came back to inspect the situation in the city, so some of them came to report to him in advance and let him come back, I really can't stop it, so I can only rush to inform the matter, and ask the general to confess. ”
"Liu Bang, you have done a good job, General Ben will not blame you, but now that Yan Li is back, things are indeed a little difficult to do. However, it is not that there is no need to fight, but the formation of their 30,000 soldiers has all been broken up by us, so that we can concentrate our firepower and break them one by one. Supreme Treasure said calmly.
At this time, Li Yi was excited and ready to rush up to find the main general desperately, "Lao Tzu fought with you!" ”
"Li Yi, what are you doing? Don't be impulsive at this time, the opposite Lord is protecting so many people, and we have to take our time to break them one by one. Supreme Treasure pulled Li Yi, who suddenly became emotional.
"General, you don't know that this chief general is the governor of Xiang Yu's disciples, and he is trusted by Xiang Yu, and many of our brothers died in vain because of his scheme. I didn't see who the main general on the other side was just now, but now I know that it's him, how did this thousand-knife killer come here, but it's good that I can kill him with my own hands to avenge my brothers! Li Yi still said excitedly.
"Okay, I promise you that you will let you kill this person who killed our brother at that time, but now is not the time, if we attack them directly now, it is likely to be surrounded by a strict army, and it will be difficult to win at that time, time is money, have you forgotten the essence of blitzkrieg?" Supreme Treasure enlightened.
"But...... Well, I listen to my uncle. You Zhang Liang remember for me, sooner or later I will kill you! Li Yi pointed to Zhang Liang who was not far away, and muttered to himself.
"What do you say? This governor is called Zhang Liang? Is it Zhang Zifang? Supreme Treasure was surprised.
"Yes, uncle, how do you know his name, have you heard of this person too?"
Of course, Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang are the supreme treasures, but he is an outstanding strategist and minister in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, and is known as the "Three Masters of the Early Han Dynasty" along with Han Xin and Xiao He. He is proficient in the way of Huang Lao, does not cherish the position of power, and is said to have followed the red pine nuts in his later years. After Zhang Liang's death, he became the Marquis of Wencheng. The historical records of the Marquis family specially recorded the life of Zhang Liang. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, commented on him in Luoyang Nangong and said: "In the planning and planning of the husband, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and I am not as good as the ovary." "I didn't expect that the person Zhang Liang was following now was Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang was on the opposite side, this history is really chaotic enough, Supreme Treasure couldn't help complaining.
