Chapter 181: Defeat of the Wei army
Xiang Yu received Wang Xu's letter, followed Wang Xu's advice, and immediately launched the Chu army to attack Liu Ji.
Fan Zeng was angry with him, he thought it was all Liu Ji's fault, so he hated Liu Ji very much.
Chu Yun looked at the terrain, pointed to a certain place and asked, "What kind of area is this?"
The scout said: "This is Luolong Gorge, which is a natural and dangerous area."
Chu Yun looked at Luolong Gorge and suddenly fell into deep thought.
After noon, he summoned all the generals and said, "The king of Han is in danger and is attacked by Xiang Yu, this is Wang Xu's strategy."
"General Han wants to attack the Wei State, and it is difficult to support and rescue the King of Han, so we must give up Hanzhong and go back to rescue the King of Han."
Chu Yun ordered the army to be divided into several branches and quietly retreated with the main army.
Wang Xu looked at the Han army and still didn't move, and felt very curious, so he asked the deputy general: "Hasn't there been any news from the Han army yet?"
The adjutant general said, "The last general will go and ask."
His lieutenant quickly turned back and said, "There is news from the Han army that Chu Yun has retreated with the main force of the Han army. ”
When Wang Xu heard this, he smiled and said, "Very good, it's time for us to fight back."
He led the Wei army to attack the Han camp, and all the Han troops surrendered without resistance.
They were the Han army that Chu Yun left to confuse the Wei army, and Chu Yun gave them an order before leaving, once the Wei army came to attack, they didn't have to resist, they surrendered directly, and they could survive.
Of course, before Chu Yun left, he naturally had to make a tirade, frantically brainwashing them, feeling that Chu Yun was not abandoning them, at least he didn't ask them to resist desperately.
Wang Xu heard that Chu Yun was evacuated from Tao County with the main army, and planned to secretly pass through the county and go back to rescue the King of Han.
He immediately pursued with the Wei army, and Chu Yun led the Han army and the Wei army to fight fiercely in Tao County, and finally the Han army was defeated and retreated, and they retreated to the county.
The Wei army attacked the city all the way, and the military prestige was very high.
The county was a very important city of the Han king, if the county was lost, the Wei army could drive straight into the city and directly attack Xiayi, and any city would become a bag.
Wang Xu ordered the army to lead the army to capture the nearby cities, and the army approached the county, forming a siege.
Chu Yun led his troops to engage the Wei army, was defeated, and ordered to hold the city.
Wang Xu could not attack the city, so he camped several miles away, and was about to plan how to break through the county.
Late at night, the sound of drums, Wang Xu woke up, he quickly rehearsed the formation, if the Han army attacked the camp at night, they would not return.
But the night passed, and the Han army still showed no signs of attacking, and the beating of drums disappeared.
The next day, Wang Xu led his troops to frantically storm the county, and it only took half a day to break through the county.
But Chu Yun and the main force of the Han army were gone, and Wang Xu spent a lot of effort to pry out useful clues from the mouth of a general of the Han army.
He led the elite soldiers of the Wei State to pursue quickly, and when they approached a dangerous terrain, he asked his subordinates, and when he heard that it was a natural danger that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, he sneered: "It's too whimsical to want to bring me in."
He led his troops back to the county, planning how to directly cross the Luolong Gorge and approach Xiayi.
"Report to the general, Tao County is lost!"
"Report back to the general, Macheng is lost!"
"Report to the general, the rented city is lost!"
More than a dozen generals rushed over at the same time to report the situation to him, and in just half a day, the fifty cities they had captured were lost.
It was the Han army that appeared in their rear and surrounded the Wei legions.
"How is that possible, how did it get lost?" Wang Xu asked.
The Han army obviously retreated, was defeated by them, and finally retreated to Luolong Gorge, how could it be that the Han army conquered their rear when they were chasing.
"General Hui, because Chu Yun recruited troops all the way, his soldiers were recorded in various cities, and he disguised the main force of the Han army as the people of each city, so he evaded our investigation, and their main force did not retreat to Luolong Gorge."
Chu Yun led the Han army to surround the Wei army, the horn sounded, and the Luolong Gorge appeared with an army, forming a trapped beast.
"The general's conspiracy is also good!" Dianchou gave a thumbs up and laughed.
His army roster has not been made public, so Wang Xu has not been able to find out the soldiers recruited by Chu Yun.
Tens of thousands of troops were hidden in fifty cities, each led by a general, and at the appointed time, the army was gathered to conquer the cities occupied by the Wei army.
"Does that mean that it is possible that there is also a hidden Han army in each county?" Wang Xu's face was indifferent, revealing infinite killing intent.
At this time, rumors spread from county to county, because the Wei army had lost too many cities, Wang Xu was very likely to slaughter the city.
Rumors spread like a plague, and the people of the city became terrified.
Chu Yun led his troops to attack the city and joined the army of Longxia, and the situation of the Wei army was very bad.
The people in the city were terrified, and when they saw that the Wei army was beating the people, they believed the rumors even more.
So the generals of the Han army, who hid county by county, took the opportunity to encourage the people to rebel against the Wei army and meet the Han army, so that they could have a chance to live.
"Who told them to do it to the people?" Wang Xu was furious.
"They are pretended by the Han army!" General Wei said in a low voice.
Wang Xu was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood, and after the "Wei army" beat the people, the people in each county felt disappointed and frightened about them, even if it was not their hands, the black pot was also determined.
"I can only break through!" Wang Xu said coldly.
The matter is getting more and more serious, if the people riot and help the Han army break the city, they will completely lose the strength to confront the Han army.
He led the Wei State to forcibly break through from Luolong Gorge, and Wang Xu learned that the general of Luolong Gorge was not Chu Yun, and only by breaking through from this road could they have a way to live.
The Wei army led by Wang Xu was brave and forced to break through from Luolong Gorge, but they suffered heavy losses, and only a few thousand remained of the 100,000-strong army.
Chu Yun ordered people to spread rumors in all the cities, saying that the Wei army slaughtered county by county, the people suffered heavy casualties, and the methods were cruel, and he hoped that the people of the counties would actively help, otherwise it would cause further annihilation.
When Wang Xu heard this, he spit out a mouthful of blood again, it was too despicable, he didn't do it, and as a result, Chu Yun said it as a fact.
It must be known that the world is in turmoil, the people of all counties are panicked, no one will confirm whether the Wei army has done a massacre, even if someone investigates, considering the traffic situation, it will take at least a long time before the truth is revealed.
However, the crazy spread during this period of time made the people of various counties believe that they were all afraid of the Wei army attacking and being slaughtered, so they continued to provide information and military supplies to Chu Yun.
The Wei army suffered heavy losses, and in the end there were only 3,000 elite soldiers left, and Wang Xu had no choice but to lead the Wei army to join Xiang Yu.
At the same time, Han Xin conquered the capital of Wei, and the king of Wei surrendered and canceled the king's title.
"I didn't expect Chu Yun to have such a ability." Han Xin heard that Chu Yun led the Han army to a great victory and defeated Wang Xu's Wei army, so that the land of Sanqin in Guanzhong did not dare to resist, and directly opened the city and surrendered.
Chu Yun conquered Guanzhong, and he made a great contribution to relieving Liu Ji's heart disease.
