Chapter 23 A Hearty Victory Is Needed (Ask for Collections, Ask for Recommendations.) )
"Military advisor, now that Chu is not allowed to go, what road do you think our army should take to the north to shake the Central Plains and force the major princes to return to the country?"
……
After Wu Shi calmed down, Xiang Tianfang turned the topic to the main topic, and the chasing soldiers kept approaching, and they didn't have much time to stay in Shouchun.
Temporarily stayed, just to allow the army to rest and recuperate. Although Xiang Tian already had a countermeasure in his heart, it was far better for one more person to make suggestions than to think hard about it by himself.
What's more, two people can compare and remove the infeasible ones to avoid too many casualties. At this moment, only by combining the best of them can we find the most suitable route for the Chu army to go north.
……
Hearing this, Wu Shi was shocked, and he recovered almost instantly, at this moment, the Chu army was the enemy of the whole world, and the situation was not good, and it was definitely not a time for personal sadness.
Now, when personal grief and anger are the strength, they help the army to shake the Central Plains, so as to force back the 700,000 princes under the alliance, so that the Chu State can leave a glimmer of life.
……
Thinking of this, Wu Shi looked at the map that Xiang Tian took out, his eyes were like torches, and after a pause, he said.
"Prince, the minister thought that when he went south from Shouchun, passed Anfeng, broke through Hengshan Kingdom, and directly entered Linjiang Kingdom, after resting in Linjiang Country, he came out of Deng County, went to Xixian County, and the army shook Sanchuan County."
"At the same time, conquer Wuguan, loot Guanzhong and force Liu Ji, the king of Han, to return north."
……
Deducing the route drawn by Wu Shi in his heart, Xiang Tianhu's eyes flashed with a gleam, Wu She's thoughts were similar to his.
It's just that he will go directly to Nanyang County and go south instead, Xiang Tian's thoughts flickered in his heart, and after a while, he found that the strategy of martial arts was easier to implement than what he thought in his heart.
In particular, the king of Han is the head of the alliance of princes, and once Guanzhong is shaken, Liu Ji will inevitably return to the division in anger.
……
"What the military advisor said is the same as Lone, since this is the case, our army immediately went south to Anfeng."
"No."
……
"Chudi, Lone will definitely return."
Wu Shi left, and Xiang Tian's eyes fell on Zhang County and Huiji County who were close at hand, and his expression was extremely complicated.
He knew in his heart that it was far easier to go to Zhang County and return to Chu from Shouchun than to go north to Sanchuan County in Linjiang, but he understood that returning to Chu at this moment would not help at all.
The coalition of 700,000 princes is in Jiangbei, and it is easy to trap Jiangdong. Only by forcing the alliance of princes to retreat can Western Chu be rebuilt, and the eight-year-long struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han can be rebuilt.
……
"General, the 100,000 Han army led by Fan Xu will arrive soon, will our army defend or attack?"
……
Li Zuoche's brows furrowed, this decision made him feel embarrassed, because he had to take down the Qin King Jade Seal in Xiang Tian's hand.
And Fan Xu led an army of 100,000 to chase and kill, and his purpose was nothing more than the Yuxi of Qin, the two had the same purpose, so he naturally didn't want Fan Xu to come.
"Retreat!"
With a roll of his eyes, Li Zuoche waved his left hand. As a soldier, he naturally knew that Chu Prince Xiang Tian's strength was stronger than his own at the moment.
Rather than losing both and letting Fan Hao benefit the fisherman, it is better to retreat and wait for the Chu army and the Han army to fight, and the Qi army will be the profiteering fisherman.
"No."
……
After Li Zuoche's Qi army crossed the river, they retreated before attacking, and when the news came, the Chu army was surprised, but Xiang Sheng, Wu She, and Xiang Tian looked solemn.
The worry in his eyes was almost written directly on his face.
Li Zuoche used his troops like a god, and at the moment he was unusual, retreating when attacking, and the only explanation was that there were people behind them.
"Xiang Sheng, immediately release the ranger, and you must know who is behind Li Zuoche's Qi army?"
"No."
Nodding in agreement, Xiang Sheng hurriedly retreated, the situation was as dangerous as an egg, and the chasing soldiers were wave after wave, and there was no room for a moment of slackness.
"Military advisor, immediately order the three armies to eat, the war horses to feed, the Qi army and the Han army are all here, and they should fight to the death."
"No."
……
Because the people of Shouchun were in the heart of Chu, Xiang Tian's recruitment was extremely smooth, and he recruited 23,000 troops in one day, making the Chu army 50,000.
Although the combat power is not as good as before, Shouchun is not bad for leather armor and weapons, but it makes the Chu army look neat, quite like an elite army.
It's just that Xiang Tian knows in his heart that except for the original 27,000 elite Chu army, the rest of the new army is just useless, and it will definitely be exposed in its original form as soon as it enters the battlefield.
……
"Prince Yu, Li Zuoche's 30,000 Qi troops are stranded in the north of the city, according to the report from our army's rangers, behind Li Zuoche is the 100,000 Han army led by Fan Xu."
……
Hearing this, Xiang Tianhu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he knew in his heart that Liu Ji, the king of Han, was determined to win.
"How long will it take for the Han army to arrive in Shouchun?"
"One day!"
……
Xiang Tian knew in his heart that Fan Xu's march was not like his own exhaustion, he accelerated the march vigorously, and the 100,000 army had more foot soldiers than cavalry, plus the weight of grain and grass, and the speed of action was delayed.
In this era, there were more foot soldiers than cavalry, and there were only 100,000 elite iron cavalry under the command of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and the 2,000 cavalry of Liu Ji, the king of Han, had already died with the infants.
"Strategist, immediately write a war letter, send someone to Li Zuoche's camp, and fight him fairly."
"No."
Xiang Tian turned his head to stare at Xiang Sheng, and said: "When the Han army arrives, contact Fan Hao and Li Zuoche at the same time, and I want to see them, just under this Shouchun City."
"No."
……
"Prince, are you planning to risk your life?"
Shaking his head, Xiang Tian looked at Wu Shi and Xiang Sheng, and said, "Li Zuoche is stranded in the north of the city, and Fan Hao leads an army of 100,000 to chase and kill, it is not worth it alone."
"Han Xin, the king of Qi, and Liu Ji, the king of Han, are only interested in the jade seal of the king of Qin in their hands, since they all want the jade seal of the king of Qin, then the jade seal will be used as bait today."
"Lone today under Shouchun City, I will definitely leave these 130,000 troops, so that the people of the world can see the sharpness of the Chu army, and the belligerence of my Chu people."
……
"Willing to fight for Western Chu!"
The words of the crown prince Xiang Tian were domineering, as if the chasing soldiers who came outside the city were not enough, which made Xiang Sheng and the others feel a long-lost familiarity.
At the beginning, he followed Xiang Yu to fight in the south and the north, no matter how many enemies he encountered, the morale of the Chu army was high and he won the battle.
Therefore, the last thing the soldiers of the Chu army are afraid of is to fight a hard battle, what kind of hard battle they followed Xiang Yu did not fight at the beginning, and why should they be afraid of this mere 100,000 troops.
"Haha......"
Feeling the confidence in everyone, Xiang Tian looked stunned and laughed.
Since the outbreak of the Battle of Qixia, he has lost his courage, and when he encounters the enemy, he only thinks of avoiding it, rather than attacking it head-on.
At this moment, the reaction of the soldiers of the Chu army made Xiang Tian clear in his heart that the Chu army, which was constantly fleeing for his life, needed a big victory that he couldn't wait to recast the army's heart.
Since Fan Hao is here at this time, Xiang Tian must not miss it, what he wants is an iron army with high morale and cannot be defeated or dragged down.
What he wants is an invincible lion that follows him for thousands of miles and invites him to fight in the Central Plains countries with a partial division.
