Chapter 381: Trying to retreat from the Chu army with a strange plot
Xiang Zhuang and Zhou Lan saw Xiang Yu rushing forward alone, and they couldn't help but be a little worried, and Guanhan General Xiahou Ying and others wanted to stop the overlord of Chu, so they immediately rode their horses to meet them, preparing to protect Xiang Yu and break out of the encirclement.
The three of them came out together, and the target was Xiang Yu, and at this moment, Xiang Zhuang was the first to block in front of him, "Fan Xiaoer, and fight with a certain one, and don't hurt my king!" ”
When Fan Hao heard this, he turned his horse and turned around, and fought with Xiang Zhuang, Xiahou Ying also turned his horse and stopped Zhou Lan, and the remaining Zhou Bo held a spear and took Xiang Yu's head directly.
Xiang Yu reacted quickly, directly grabbed Zhou Bo's spear, and quickly grabbed it with his right hand, Zhou Bo saw this, so he had to pull back, but where did Zhou Bo have Xiang Yu Yingwu, sitting on the horse and unable to move at all.
"Such a horseman, Ann dares to compete with me!" Xiang Yu said quite proudly, and in an instant, the spear was directly broken, and Zhou Bo was invincible, so he had to ride his horse and retreat.
Xiang Yu saw Zhou Bo retreating, and immediately rushed forward, and the Chu army in the rear saw that the overlord of Chu had broken out of the encirclement, and they all followed him, Han Xin was willing to let Xiang Yu go, and hurriedly led the soldiers to intercept Xiang Yu.
And at this moment, Ji Bu also led the army from a distance to kill, and Han Xin saw that Xiang Yu was invincible at all, so he gave up the intention of capturing, and immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops and retreated to the Han camp.
This time, the Chu army lost more than 20,000 yuan, and Han Xin originally wanted to capture and kill Xiang Yu directly, but Xiang Yu was too heroic, so that the Han army had no way to stop it, making it still in a no-man's land.
The two sides fought several rendezvous, Fan Hao and others were defeated by Xiang Yu, so they had to be defeated, this time the Chu and Han battles, Xiang Yu relied on his bravery to save the situation a little.
When Ji Bu arrived, Xiang Yu wanted to counterattack, but the Han army retreated in an orderly manner, and he didn't know what kind of position there was behind the camp, so he ordered people to withdraw and return to the periphery of Chen County to rest.
When Fan Zeng heard that Xiang Yu had returned, he also went out to greet him, "The king can capture that crotch man and show the majesty of our army?" Or did he let him escape into the Han camp? ”
Xiang Yu didn't know that Fan Zeng deliberately made fun of him, and immediately said with some sincerity: "I regret not listening to my father's words, which caused damage to the three armies, which is really my fault." ”
"The king knows his mistake, it's a good thing, although the Han Dynasty wins, it's just a narrow victory, from today to stick to Chen County, then Han Xin has no other way." Fan Zeng said proudly.
"I didn't expect that the crotch man to have such a skill, Chen Shi entered Jingsuo River with him, and then there were thousands of chariots to surround our army, if it wasn't for Xiang Bo to come to the rescue, it would be really unpredictable." Xiang Yu said with a sigh.
The rest of the two armies is not mentioned for the time being, and it is said that in Han Xin's account, the small victory over the Chu army, all the generals are overjoyed, this is the first time since the defeat of Pengcheng that the Chu army has been defeated, and it can be regarded as saving a little face.
Now it is already October weather, after the battle of Jingsuo, the two armies have never sent troops, but Liu Bang and others are eager to destroy Daijun, so they must first occupy the south of Waihuang, so that Han Xin goes north, Xingyang still has the opportunity to defend the city.
Soon after Han Xin's victory, Liu Bang also came down to the edict, which was to seal the silk book, saying: "Han Wang Zhao, the defeat of the Chu army today, is the virtue of God, I used Wei Bao at the beginning, I don't know his talent, forced to be defeated by Chu, I am very worried, and then the general came to help the Han army, so that the Chu army did not dare to commit it, and it was really Han Xin's work." ”
"I intend to attack Daijun, but Xiang Yubing Tunchen County, if this is not removed, the Han will be unstable, I specially add the general as the commander of Chu, do not give up."
Han Xin looked at Liu Bang's edict and frowned slightly, this was obviously urging himself to quickly disperse the Chu army, what difference can a commander or something be between a general or something.
But if you think about it carefully, since the defeat of Pengcheng and the overlord sent troops, he hoarded Waihuang, so that the time to send troops has been two or three months, just to take Xingyang, so as to solve the hidden dangers in Guanzhong.
Although the victory over Chu today, but the two armies have their own damage, preliminary calculations, now Han Xin is still 100,000 soldiers and horses, as for the overlord of Chu, Chen County 30,000, as for Waihuang and Pengcheng is not yet known.
In the Han tent, Han Xin sat in the first place, and many generals were around, so he said to everyone: "Now that the king of Han has an order, it is to let us quickly break through the Chu army in Chen County, what do the generals think?" ”
Seeing this, Fan Hao was the most helpless, "The Chu army is fierce and difficult to break, so it is better for the general to directly lead the troops and fight them to the death outside Xingyang City." ”
Han Xin hurriedly waved his hand, "In the last battle, the bravery of the overlord of Western Chu was invincible, if it was a flat battle, it would definitely not have an advantage over the Chu army. ”
"If the general has any good plan, let me say it, and we should do our best." Guan Ying said very directly on the side, the last battle of Jingsuo, Guan Ying just burned down the wooden bridge, such a small thing, it is naturally difficult to celebrate, I only hope that this time Han Xin can arrange a big task for him.
Han Xin did not speak, but ordered someone to hang a map in the camp, "Everyone, please see, starting from Xingyang and going straight to the southeast, you can attack Pengcheng, which is naturally a good strategy." ”
"The general must not be reckless, the Waihuang Chu army still doesn't know a little, and if he rashly sends troops, he will definitely be attacked by the Chu army from both sides of Chen County and Waihuang!" Xiahou Ying said quite seriously.
"General Xiahou can know where the Waihuang is above, if the Chu army comes to chase, they can retreat to Chaoge, so that the Huang forces outside Chen County are reduced, and if they attack at night, Chen County will be broken, and Waihuang is not to worry!" Han Xin said very firmly.
When the generals heard this, they were all overjoyed, "Please also ask the general to arrange, we will work hard!" ”
Han Xin bowed slightly, and then said: "First by Guan Ying, Cao Shen led 3,000 soldiers and horses, set off to the southeast, deliberately let the Chu army find out, it must have thought that it was the Han army surprise attack on Pengcheng, with Xiang Yu's character, will definitely send 10,000 people to chase and kill, so that the strength of Chen County will be reduced a lot, and then Zhou Bo and Fan Hao sent troops from Yangxia, went around to the south of Chen County to ambush, and led 30,000 troops, as for Wang Ling, Xiahou Ying and Zaixia, directly confronted the Chu army, so that they went out of the city, and then you and others attacked from the south gate, if they could not capture Chen County in half an hour, they quickly withdrew their troops. ”
When the generals heard of Han Xin's arrangement, they led the troops down, and Fan Xu and Zhou Bo left the Han camp without leading the troops, but led the troops from Chenggao, and then took advantage of Yangxia to reach the south of Chen County.
Guan Ying and Cao Shen led 3,000 elite soldiers and set off directly from the main gate of the Han camp, afraid that they would not know that there were Han soldiers coming out of the camp, and then send troops in the direction of Chengyang, Fan Zeng would definitely pay attention to their movements.
As Han Xin expected, not long after Guan Ying came out of the camp, Fan Zeng learned of this and hurriedly told Xiang Yu, even the scheming Fan Zeng didn't understand what this army wanted to do for a while, so he didn't dare to rush to send troops.
"How many soldiers and horses did Father send to find out?" Xiang Yu first asked suspiciously.
Fan Zeng thought for a moment, "There are probably a few thousand people, they move quickly, and they seem to be rushing in the direction of Chengyang." ”
