Chapter 316: The Yellow River Bank Breaks the Boat
At this moment, the battle of the giant deer can be touched at a moment's notice, and Lu Yan is naturally leisurely in Linzi, and by the way, he asked his master to marry Zhang Wen'er to himself, which is also worth the trip.
In the living room of the Lu Mansion, Zhang Cangzheng was drinking tea with Lu Yan, and suddenly an entourage came to report, Lu Yan hurriedly invited people in, and explained in detail the recent battle report of Zhang Han.
Zhang Cang was beside him, his face was a little displeased, "What this entourage said is true?" You have been in Linzi for a long time, and you have been asking about these things all day long, Zhang Han sent a giant deer, if he wins, all places will die down. ”
Lu Yan didn't reply, and motioned for his entourage to retreat, "Master, you just stay in Linzi, I'm afraid the apprentice will have to go back to Xianyang, and if it's too late, the second will die." ”
What do you mean by that? The current battle point is Julu, what does it have to do with Xianyang? Zhang Cang asked suspiciously.
"This matter is not clear to you, now Xiang Ji has led his troops to Julu, and Emperor Yi is estimated to have sent Liu Bang to attack Hangu Pass." Lu Yan said worriedly.
Zhang Cang nodded slightly after hearing this, "That Zhang Han soldiers brought 200,000, and there should be 200,000 left, and it is inevitably a little early to attack Hangu Pass." ”
"The 200,000 are still in Pengcheng, but there are not many people guarding Hangu Pass, Liu Bang takes people to Hangu Pass, as long as he and Zhao Gaoli should be outside, Xianyang is broken, and the second life is rested." Lu Yan analyzed very seriously.
"The second is dead, what are you worried about?" Zhang Cang said with some disapproval, and Lu Yan knew that Hu Hai's mistakes were all led by Zhao Gao, and he shouldn't be so desperate.
How could Lu Yan listen to Zhang Cang's persuasion, arrange all the things in Linzi, and rush to Xianyang, Zhang Cang still trusted his apprentice, so he didn't do much to consol him.
At this moment, Liu Bang's movement is not big, not to mention it for the time being, and to say that the danger of the giant deer, Xiang Jixian led his troops to garrison on the north bank of the Yellow River, and Yingbuxian led 20,000 soldiers to cross the river.
That Wang Li besieged Julu, and he didn't know that Wuzhong rescued the army, and Yingbunai was marching at night, and he was very agile, and he fought for the first time, which made Wang Li's army suffer heavy losses.
However, it can only be regarded as a small trauma, and now Zhang Han's army is still on the way to come, and a lot of food has been transported, Xiang Ji is very happy to receive this secret report.
Zhang Han's army is now unable to fight, it is necessary to burn the grain, just capture Wang Li, the periphery of Julu, Yingbu won a small victory, and Chen Yu in the city immediately wrote a letter urging Xiang Ji to send troops.
However, it was not Xiang Ji who actually held the military power this time, although Emperor Yi agreed to Xiang Ji to take over the matter with full authority at that time, and was afraid that his heart was not pure, so he was accompanied by Song Yi, the superintendent army.
As a result, this matter is a little embarrassing, nominally it is Xiang Ji who supports the army, but in fact, it is Song Yi who controls the movement of the soldiers under the banner of Emperor Chu Yi.
But at this time, in Julu City, Yingbu won a small victory, Chen Yu asked for troops many times, Song Yi was timid and afraid, that is, he did not move, so he commanded Zhongzhong: "Now Zhang Han's soldiers have besieged Zhao for many days, the soldiers are sleepy and the horses are lacking, and the people have no fighting spirit. ”
When Xiang Ji heard this, he was furious, so he ignored everyone's obstruction and actually killed Song Yi in the tent, so all the military power returned to Xiang Ji's hands.
Xiang Ji on the bank of the Yellow River was not staying, and immediately ordered people to cross the river, who knew that as soon as he arrived on the other side of the river, Xiang Ji ordered the grain to be burned, leaving three days' worth of food, and the boats were all chiseled, so that the Chu soldiers had no way to retreat.
When everyone saw Xiang Ji's move, they were all puzzled, and even complained a little, so Xiang Ji instructed the generals: "This battle is a battle of survival, if Jiangdong is defeated, the righteous emperor will die, and the only way to fight is to the death." ”
The general meaning is that it is hoped that the commanders will be able to convey this kind of thinking, and many soldiers heard this, and the determination of Xiang Ji also made the morale of the army great.
At the same time that Yingbu restrained Wang Li, Xiang Yu led the army first and went to Yongdao to intercept Zhang Han's grain and grass, which did not kill anyone, but only burned the grain and grass.
Now Zhang Han is rushing from Pengcheng, and the food transported is to support Wang Li, although the giant deer is besieged, but the people outside also have to eat.
That night, Zhang Han's army marched to Yongdao, Xiang Yu led the army to kill, Zhang Han's army was caught off guard, and had to retreat and stick to the periphery of the giant deer, but at this moment Wang Li's army heard that the grain road was intercepted, and the army was panicked.
Xiang Yu led the troops back, united with the Yingbu soldiers, and attacked Wang Li's army, at this moment Wang Li couldn't stabilize the army's heart, and Shijian and Su Jiao didn't know what to do.
At this time, Zhang Er and others in Julu City came out again, divided Wang Li's army into three groups, and the 40,000 troops were all annihilated.
When Zhang Han heard that Wang Li's 40,000 troops had been killed, he was shocked and hurriedly convened the Qin generals to discuss the matter, "Now that the Chu soldiers are fierce, it will be difficult for our army to win if they are so consumed." ”
"What the general said is true, now that most of the grain and grass have been burned, this battle should be decided quickly!" Wang Li said angrily.
Zhang Han also nodded yes when he heard this, and then ordered: "Xiang Ji is already heroic, and his uncle was killed, it is even more angry, the generals must not underestimate the enemy, you and other soldiers are divided into three ways, even the village camp, I led the troops to fight against Xiang Yu, each team responds in turn, and when the Chu soldiers go deep into the land, the three people and horses will work together to kill, and they will be able to cut off the head of Xiang Ji." ”
In the early morning of the next day, the danger of the giant deer had been solved, and Xiang Yu led his troops with no intention of retreating, preparing to take Zhang Han's army directly.
The two teams of military horses met near Yongdao first, and Xiang Ji saw Zhang Han in front of the team, and he was furious in his heart, so he shouted at Zhang Han: "Qin will be a traitor, kill my uncle, this revenge is not shared, come out quickly and die!" ”
Zhang Han just sneered, and immediately went out to meet the team, the two fought and killed dozens of rounds, regardless of victory or defeat, Zhang Han pretended to be tired and fled backwards, Xiang Yu chased after him, less than five miles away, Wang Li killed from the flank.
Xiang Yu immediately went out to fight with Wang Li, less than twenty rounds, Xiang Yu pretended to fight him, but he rode back to run, Wang Li thought that Xiang Yu was no longer able to fight Zhang Han, so he stepped forward to assassinate Xiang Yu.
How do you know that Xiang Yu turned around and flashed, dodged Wang Li's halberd, and pulled it with his hand, Wang Li's body tilted, and he fell off the horse, and the Chu army saw the momentum and rushed up, and actually captured Wang Li.
Where did Zhang Han expect that Wang Li would be caught, seeing this, he was just shocked, turned the horse's head, and prepared to escape, Xiang Yu saw Zhang Han running away later, and chased after him.
"Zhang Han's rebel thief is gone!"
As everyone knows, Xiang Yu sat down on a black horse, and he only saw Zhang Han in front of him, but he didn't expect the soldiers behind him, and the soldiers and horses of the two soldiers were all left behind.
The two didn't know how far they had run, Zhang Han was overjoyed when he saw Xiang Yu alone, and immediately turned around to fight with Xiang Yu.
