Chapter 32 Twenty-Eight Riding on the Wujiang River (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation.) )
"Kill!"
……
50,000 cavalry pursued and killed 100,000 foot soldiers, and in the narrow southern valley, from the rising sun to the sunset.
The foot soldiers who were not organized into a formation could not withstand the impact of the cavalry cone and arrow formation, and the iron cavalry of the Chu army rushed through, and countless Han soldiers fell.
……
There were too many Han troops, even if Xiang Tian led the army to chase and kill, Cui Guangcheng was still not left, the remnants of the Han army fled by grabbing the road, and at this moment there were corpses left in the South Valley, the Chu army and the Han army were not the same.
Since Xiang Tian's strategic goal was to go north to the Central Plains, Knock Wuguan swept through Guanzhong. This time, the Chu army did not accept the surrender army, because the cavalry with foot soldiers would slow down the marching speed of the Chu army.
Going north, Xiang Tian must ensure that the army comes and goes like the wind, and overnight, it has the mobility to run for 300 miles. Bringing a foot pawn will drag Xiang Tian to death.
Therefore, this time Xiang Tian only killed for the sake of killing. Even if it was to collect the pawns, it would greatly increase the strength of the Chu army, and Xiang Tian did not act rashly.
……
"Xiang Sheng, count the casualties."
"No."
……
"Xiao Kai, led the army to set up camp, and after eating, he rushed to six counties overnight."
"No."
……
Attacking the King City of Huainan is a joint decision of Xiang Tian and Li Zuoche, and if you want people to be unaware, you must go out at night.
"Prince, our army lost 13,000 casualties, killed more than 60,000 Han troops, and the rest of the Han army fled in the direction of Qixia."
Xiang Sheng's reply made the expressions of several people in the big tent change slightly, and they killed Fan Xu, the first fierce general of the Han army, with an army of 50,000 and broke the pursuit of the Han army.
No matter what era it was, it was a great victory, but for Xiang Tian, it was a pyrrhic victory at all.
Of the 50,000 elite iron horsemen, there are now only more than 37,000 left, and there are not even 40,000. The loss of a third of the army at once made Xiang Tian's heart ache.
He is not the king of Qi Han Xin is like a god, nor is he the king of Han Liu Ji is rich and rich, and now Xiang Tian is just a rat crossing the street.
Although the Central Plains is big, there is no place for him to hide. This army is the only force in his hands, and one less is a weakening.
"Prince, the number of our army is small, so that we can effectively cover people's eyes and ears and complete our strategy, if the number of Chu troops is huge, it will be a drag."
Li Zuoche saw Xiang Tian's expression change, raised his eyebrows, and admonished Xiang Tian.
……
"Hmm."
Bowing slightly, Xiang Tian recognized Li Zuoche's words very much, because he also thought so in his heart, but as the commander of the Chu army, he had to make a sad gesture.
……
"The six counties are two hundred and forty miles away from Shouchun, and our army can reach it overnight by marching in a hurry, and at the fifth watch tomorrow, we can break through the six counties."
Xiang Tian frowned slightly, he was clear about the physique of the Chu army, and it was not impossible to run three hundred miles overnight.
"What does the prince mean is that the army trekked out and traveled two hundred and forty miles in one night, and the army reached its destination and attacked the city directly without resting?"
"Hmm!"
Nodding, Xiang Tian said: "Our army is an elite cavalry that runs three hundred miles in one night, as long as our army suddenly kills, it will definitely take advantage of the chaos to break through the six counties."
"But in this way, the next siege war will be a big problem."
Xiang Tian's sigh is true, as long as he breaks through the six counties, he will definitely shake the world, and when the time comes, he will become famous, and he can be said to become famous in the world.
The princes led by the Han army will definitely defend with all their might, causing obstacles to the Chu army going north.
……
"It is of great significance to attack Huainan and break through the six counties, if the prince has made up his mind, he can win the battle."
Li Zuoche and Wu Shi glanced at each other, and they instantly knew the intentions of Prince Xiang Tian to each other, but on the battlefield, the situation was unpredictable.
No one can strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, even if it is the most prestigious old Chu army Fan Zeng today, and Zhang Liang, the Han army division, can't.
Naturally, the crown prince Xiang Tian, the military advisor Wu Shi, and the general Li Zuoche are also not allowed.
……
"Kill!"
The tiger roared, and the halberd in Xiang Yu's hand was like a dragon going out to sea, killing the Han army in front of him one by one.
"Tick!"
……
The blood on Fang Tian's painting halberd was low, like a fatal hour, constantly ringing. Coming out of the Yin Tomb, Xiang Yu led the Chu army under his command to fight continuously.
There were no less than thirty battles, and now there were only twenty-eight horsemen left by Xiang Yu's side.
……
"King, there is a boat on the river, go quickly."
A sharp-eyed soldier was surprised when he saw the captain on the river, and hurriedly said to Xiang Yu.
"Boatman, boatman, come here!"
……
At this moment, on the wide lake, there is only one small boat swaying, and this is the glimmer of life of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. Historically, Xiang Yu did not cross the river, but chose to kill himself by the Wujiang River.
"King Xiang, let's go."
At this time, the old man rowed the boat to the shore and hurriedly said towards Xiang Yu.
……
"Boom ......"
At this time, countless reds on the horizon were connected into a line, under the banner of a large Chinese character, swept towards the Wujiang River.
At this moment, the chasing soldiers led by Liu Ji, the king of Han, Han Xin, the king of Qi and others finally arrived, and the rise and fall of Western Chu was at this moment.
"The king is leaving, the Han army is coming."
……
The twenty-eight horsemen were about to split, their eyes were red, and they shouted at Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, with a spear in their hands, and said. The voice was anxious, and Xiang Yu couldn't wait to board the boat and leave Wujiang immediately.
"King Xiang go quickly, if you don't leave, it's too late!"
The old man's whole face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, and he couldn't help but persuade Xiang Yu and said.
……
Xiang Yu's eyes were like torches, looking at the overwhelming coalition army, as well as Liu Ji, the king of Han in the center, and a touch of sadness arose in his heart.
At the beginning, he led 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers to cross the river to attack Qin, how high-spirited he was, and now there are only 28 horsemen left of 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers.
The huge gap made Xiang Yu unwilling to leave and fight to the death.
"The king is leaving, Xichu is still there!"
……
"Yingbu led the army to kill Xiang Yu, and he must not be allowed to cross the river."
"No."
Han King Liu Ji has such a vision, he naturally knows that there is only one boat on the entire Wujiang River, and once Xiang Yu boards the boat, they will have no chance to chase after him.
"The King of Han has an order: those who take the head of Xiang Yu will be sealed as the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"
"The King of Han has an order: those who take the head of Xiang Yu will be sealed as the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"
"The King of Han has an order: those who take the head of Xiang Yu will be sealed as the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"
……
As Huainan Wang Yingbu raised his head to the sky and howled, the Huainan army that followed behind raised their arms and shouted, as if Xiang Yu was in front of him, and he could be killed with a swing of a knife.
"King Xiang, I'll wait for you to break off, please board the ship quickly."
Twenty-eight horsemen roared angrily, and then rushed towards the Yingbu army coming from the opposite side, they wanted to die as Xiang Yu in exchange for time, leaving a chance for Western Chu.
"Kill!"
……
"Don't!"
Seeing the twenty-eight horsemen rushing towards the British and Bu Army, Xiang Yuhu had blood and tears in his eyes, and in grief, he turned around and jumped on the boat.
