Chapter 362: King Han's soldiers defeated and abandoned his father and wife
After the defeat of Fan Xu's army, Xiang Yu's army was greatly boosted, in addition, there were Liu Bang soldiers in the southeast of Xiao County, and several battalions were stationed, which was a company camp, which Liu Bei also learned at all, maybe Liu Bei read Gaozu's log at that time and couldn't say for sure, but Xiang Yu did not use the fire to burn.
The overlord army arrived in Xiao County at night, took advantage of the dawn to counterattack the Han army's flank from west to east, began to attack in the morning, and started a big battle with the Han army, and broke the Han army at noon. The Han army's sudden attack on Xiang Yu's army was very dazed, and it was impossible to organize effective resistance at all, and these soldiers were all princes' coalition troops.
Liu Bang was singing and dancing in the city at the moment, and suddenly heard that Xiang Yu had led his troops to the suburbs, so he was in a mess, and hurriedly anxious Xiahou Ying, Wang Ling and others to discuss matters in the palace of the king of Chu.
"Now that the overlord soldiers are back, the troops are fast, what should we do?" Liu Bang asked anxiously.
"Don't worry about the king, Weichen immediately sent troops to stop the elite soldiers of Xiang Ji, and the king can take this opportunity to retreat to Xingyang!" Xiahou Ying bowed and saluted.
"I regret not listening to the words of the Hou Ye, there is today's trouble, the overlord is brave, there are no soldiers available in the city today, the scouts come to report, Cao Shen Fan Hao was defeated in Lu Fangqiu and Xiao County, and the loss of more than 100,000 soldiers will be lost, and the defenders of Pengcheng are less than 5,000 today, can you hold it?" Liu Bang himself said with a little skepticism.
"King, now it's not about defending the city, but hoping to retreat as soon as possible, if you delay like this, the overlord soldiers are coming." Wang Ling said anxiously beside him.
"What Wang Ling said is reasonable, now the overlord army is on the outskirts of Pengcheng, I will lead people to retreat first, and you will break off." Liu Bang said that, immediately made a carriage and left Pengcheng and rushed towards Xingyang.
Xiang Yu's soldiers went to the suburbs of Pengcheng, slaughtered more than 100,000 Han troops, the momentum was unprecedentedly huge, there were only less than 5,000 guards in Pengcheng, and when they saw the overlord cavalry coming, they were afraid, and no one guarded the city gate.
Wang Ling, Guan Ying, Zhou Bo, and Xiahou Ying knew that the Han army had no intention of fighting, so they didn't force it, anyway, this Pengcheng was originally the overlord of Chu.
So the four of them each led more than 1,000 people to flee from the south gate into four ways, Xiang Yu entered the city, saw that there was no Liu Bang in the palace, and did not make many arrangements, and led the troops to chase directly in the direction of Xingyang.
Liu Bang took his wives and concubines in the carriage, moving slowly, thinking that Pengcheng would not be able to hold on for too long, which also made Liu Bang panic.
"Can the carriage be faster?" Liu Bang asked with a very embarrassed face in the back.
"King Qiqi, everyone in the car, how can you be fast, if you get to Jushui, it will take two or three hours!" The groom said helplessly.
At this moment, the scouts behind hurriedly came to report the situation, Liu Bang saw this, hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Quickly speaking, the situation is urgent today, there is no need to salute!" ”
"King Qiyu, the four generals of Pengcheng have already led their troops to flee, and tens of thousands of Han soldiers in Luliang Mountain in the rear have been slaughtered by the overlord, and it won't be long before they will rush here!" The scout said anxiously.
Seeing that the situation was so crisis, Liu Bang looked at Lu Pheasant with some guilt, "Is my wife willing to save me in danger?" ”
"The king, please command, the concubine will never dare to have two hearts!" Lu Pheasant didn't know what Liu Bang was going to do, and said with some doubts, I just hoped that Liu Bang wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary.
"I have this wife, no regrets, you and your grandfather quickly got off the carriage and fled to the jungle, and the horseman drove away from the path!" As he spoke, Liu Bang dragged the scout off his horse and jumped up.
"Father, Wife Lu, Bang is going to Jushui to move the rescue soldiers!" After saying that, he fled forward without looking back, and the horseman followed Liu Bang's arrangement and used the path as bait.
Lu Pheasant looked at Liu Bang a little blankly, and immediately scolded: "It's really a ruffian, if you throw your wife and children here today, you will definitely be captured by the Chu army!" ”
But the matter has come to this, Lu Pheasant had to order his family to scatter and escape, but after a while, the overlord arrived with his troops, and the prince Lu Pheasant was unable to move, so he was captured and taken to Pengcheng, even the coachman was not spared.
As for Liu Ying, she was small and didn't know where she had gotten into, and she was not noticed by Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu didn't seem to catch Liu Bang and swore not to give up.
Seeing that Liu Bang's wife is still on Jushui Road, Liu Bang must not be able to escape far, so he did not stop at the moment and continued to chase towards the Jushui Bank.
Liu Bang rode a horse from the avenue all the way to the Jushui bank, at this moment Peng Yue was stationed, seeing Liu Bang coming in a hurry, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and immediately welcomed into the tent.
The two hurriedly saluted, "King Han is so embarrassed today, is it really rare?" Didn't Xiang Yu occupy Pengcheng? At this moment, Peng Yue didn't know anything about the battle report ahead.
The reason is very simple, Xiang Yu dispatched troops quickly, 30,000 iron horses and horses non-stop, and in less than half an hour, he had recovered most of the territory north of Pengcheng and killed more than 100,000 Han troops.
The other tens of thousands of Han troops were killed in Luliang Mountain, the situation was basically similar to that in Xiao County, and no preparations had been made, Xiang Yu had already led his troops to come, and the Han army was in a mess, but most of them were trampled to death.
"General Peng, you should quickly gather troops, the back of the Lingbi is Jushui, if you are defeated, it will be difficult for the Han army to survive!" Liu Bang said anxiously.
"The King of Han is really going to laugh, now the Liang Han army is more than 100,000 people here, even if that Xiang Yu is brave, it will be difficult to capture the spirit wall!" Peng Yue said confidently.
Just as the two were talking, the scouts outside suddenly came to report, "It is said that the overlord is leading the troops to come, the dust is flying, I don't know the geometry of the Chu army, and it is coming quickly!" ”
When Liu Bang heard this, he was shocked, and he didn't talk to Peng Yue, and immediately went out of the camp to sort out the army, and the Han army had not fought here for many days, so it was inevitably lazy and unmotivated.
Before the Liang Han army had set up a position, Xiang Yu had already led the army to rush into the barracks, the Liang army was shocked and hurriedly retreated, Peng Yue and Xiang Yu were defeated, and led the army to flee to Liang.
Seeing this, Liu Bang did not fight, retreated backwards, Xiang Yu actually killed tens of thousands of Han troops in the Lingbi, trampled on countless dead, but everyone did not know that behind the Lingbi was Jushui.
The Han army was afraid of the Chu army, scrambling to jump into the river, the drowned did not know how much, after Liu Bang went ashore, there were only a thousand people left, Xiang Yu pursued in the rear, saw that the front seemed to be Liu Bang's army, the heart was overjoyed, and immediately led the army to rush over.
At dawn, the Chu army was 30,000 very few, but now the Han army is 1,000 people, and the strength and weakness can be seen at a glance, so after Xiang Yu caught up with the Han army, he immediately ordered someone to surround the Han army in the middle.
"Liu Bang Pifu, occupy my Pengcheng, and now I am safe!" Xiang Yu shouted at the thousands of people in the Han army.
Liu Bang was mixed in it, after a long journey, his whole body was ragged, and he was on the same level as the soldiers, and when he heard Xiang Yu shouting, he did not go out of the ranks.
"Liu Bang, if you don't come out and surrender, you will kill all these more than 1,000 Han soldiers, including you!" Xiang Yu said with a slight hint on the periphery.
