Tang Li once commented on the Chu people with Liu Kan in private.

"Every time the Chu people fight, they are different from the Central Plains. Influenced by their customs, the Chu people held a brutal nature when they fought. The battle was like a volcanic eruption, and it was extremely fierce. However, in terms of tactics, there is a lack of planning, and when things go well, it can be overwhelming, but once it is in trouble, it is easy to lose morale and lose morale. Therefore, in the battle with the Chu people, we must not let them get up smoothly, and we must take away their morale. ”

It's easy to say, but it's hard to do.

Liu Kan's unauthorized attack was unexpected by the Jing Barbarian Army. The so-called preemptive snatch is probably the case. You are fierce, and I am fiercer than you; You don't want to die, and I don't want to die more than you. When the two armies meet, the brave wins, and this truth has been indestructible since ancient times.

After a scuffle, the Jing Barbarians retreated.

Many bandits began to flee, and Wang Ling killed nine people in a row, and even killed one bandit on the spot, finally stabilizing the situation.

One to four, Wang Ling has an absolute advantage. But in terms of practical conditions, the morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted, and it became very difficult to win.

Wang Ling had to start thinking about it, should he continue to fight?

On the other side, the grain team, after paying the price of more than 40 lives and more than 100 wounded, retreated behind the barrier.

Zhao Tuo thundered, and replaced Liu Kan, ordering him to guard Daxu in the Chinese army. At the same time, Ren Ao was appointed as the subordinate chief, replacing Liu Kan's men. On the surface, Liu Kan was punished, but a discerning person could see that Liu Kan was not only not demoted, but was actually rewarded. Daxu is the guarantee of morale, Daxu does not fall, morale does not disperse, but not everyone can protect it.

In this battle, Liu Kan killed seven people, including a bandit.

According to the Qin system of military merit, killing a soldier can be promoted to a knight, and Liu Kan is no longer an ordinary commoner now.

Zhao Tuo made this decision for another purpose. Their task is to hold back the royal tomb and then catch it all. Looking at the current situation, the morale of the grain team is high, and it is not impossible to defeat the royal tomb. But in this way, the significance of the mission is lost.

Killing one king's tomb is far better than killing a hundred bandits.

It's just that Zhao Tuo's thoughts can't be told to others.

Liu Kan didn't seem happy, and Ren Ao, who replaced Liu Kan, didn't seem very happy.

"Brother Liu, the people on the left sentry are now all based on Ah Kan. How could I have commanded them? General Zhao, isn't this a problem for me? ”

Liu Bang helplessly glanced at Liu Kan, who was standing behind Zhao Tuo, and said with a wry smile: "Don't think about replacing Liu Kan, just obey the order." The butcher is not here, and in this full camp, I am afraid that no one can replace the position of that kid, and so be it. ”

After speaking, Liu Bang grabbed Xiahou Ying.

"Ah Ying, I'll give you a task."

Xiahou Ying killed quite happily this time, beheading three people, and now he is covered in blood.

Hearing Liu Bang's words, Xiahou Ying nodded excitedly, "Big brother just command, I will definitely do it." ”

"Keep an eye on the Yongfang!"

Xiahou Ying, Lu Juan and others couldn't help but be stunned. looked at Liu Bang in surprise and asked softly, "Staring at Yongya?" And why? ”

"Just now, that kid's eyes are rolling, I'm afraid he has other plans. He is a strong Chu person, and Wang Ling is also from a Chu person, so it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen. Ah Ying, keep an eye on his people and horses, and tell me immediately as soon as there is a change, understand? ”

Xiahou Ying nodded vigorously to show that she understood.

After Xiahou Ying left, Lu Juan couldn't help but ask: "Liu Bang, is it possible that we really have to die for that old Qin man?" ”

"It's not about selling your life, it's about following the trend. Lao Qin's unification of the Kanto region is already the trend of the times. In the current state of affairs, anyone who tries to stop it is tantamount to a mantis arm blocking the car. In the future, if we want to gain a foothold in Pei County, we must rely on it. ”

Involuntarily, Liu Bang glanced at Liu Kan, who was holding a stinging eye.

I won't lose to you!

Liu Bang secretly said in his heart: Such a good man, who can use Liu Ji without me? When I have status, I will definitely take you under the door.

******

Wang Ling tried to attack the grain team several times, but the effect was not good.

The two sides come and go, but each has its own damage. But the black dragon Daxu, which represented the banner of the Qin army, was still fluttering in the night wind.

The rain has stopped.

The wails of the wounded echoed on the battlefield, and several ownerless war horses roamed alone in the night, with one or two mournful cries from time to time. Zhao Tuo's face became colder and colder. Although it is said that the morale of his side is high, he also suffers heavy losses. Not many people died, but countless people were injured, accounting for 30% of the total number. To this point, it can be said that Zhao Tuo's earlier expectations have been achieved.

"General, if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for everyone to persevere!"

Liu Kan couldn't help but whispered: "If you hurt one person, your morale will drop by one point." While everyone still has the strength to spare, why not take the initiative? ”

"Sortie?"

Liu Kan said: "According to the grass people's opinion, although the number of bandits is large, their morale has been lost. At this time, if you make a single blow, you will definitely be able to defeat it. ”

Zhao Tuo glanced at Liu Kan and suddenly showed a wry smile.

Liu Kan's words, he didn't understand, but the problem was that Ren Huan's order was to drag the royal tomb, not to defeat the royal tomb. The arrows have run out, and the only thing left is blood. Yes, if you take the initiative, the effect will be very good. But what about the royal tombs?

That guy is cunning and will definitely run away!

"Liu Kan, there are major events in the army, you are a grass people, and An Neng is talking nonsense. Take care of it, and you don't need to worry about the rest. ”

Zhao Tuo's words came out, and Liu Kan understood in his heart.

It turns out that it's not just a bait, it's a dead man. It seems that the Qin people are preparing to wipe out the royal tombs, and then kill them to make an example.

Thinking about the mystery, Liu Kan unconsciously clenched the flagpole.

"It's up, the thieves are coming up again!"

In the middle of the right-wing people, someone suddenly shouted loudly. I saw a cavalry army appear, about seventy or eighty people. On a fiery red war horse, a stout man sat upright, and shouted loudly to the grain team: "I am the tomb of the king of the Chu people, Yongya...... You are also a Chu person, why do you want to help those old Qin people? Could it be that you have forgotten how the old Qin people humiliated us Chu people back then?

Insult me the king of Chu and shame me the people of Chu.

In the past, my Great Chu territory was so vast, if it weren't for the old Qin people, how could we end up where we are today? Yongya, if you are still a Chu person, you should fight side by side with me! ”

Liu Bang and the others shook the cicada.

Wang Ling recognized Yongya. It's no wonder that they are all begging for a life along Surabaya, how can Wang Ling not know a character like Yongya?

At the same time, there was a fear in my heart: I wish Wang Ling did not know his identity.

Right-wingers, commotion.

Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Zhao Tuo and the others at once. In that eye, there was a strong resentment, which made Zhao Tuo's heart frightened. This guy is actually playing with this hand. I didn't expect it before, but I did underestimate the leader of this Jing Barbarian Army.

At the same time, the Jing Barbarian Army also moved.

However, on the part of the food team, it has become a little less united. The hatred between the Chu people and the old Qin people has become thick and cannot be resolved. Wang Ling's instigation made the Chu people in Yongya's department have different ideas. And this sentiment is also spreading rapidly.

Pei County is a mixed place of remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

If you want to talk about the hatred between you and the old Qin people, which one of the six countries does not have it. Tang Li is a Wei person, a Lu person is a judge of the food, and Ren Ao is a Qi person.

There are countless situations like this.

A Chu man suddenly jumped out and shouted loudly: "Wang Ling, there is no ...... here"

Liu Kan and Liu Bang reacted subconsciously. One bends the bow and the other raises the hand to throw. The sharp arrow and the copper arrow flew out almost at the same time, and the Chu people knocked away Liu Bang's sharp arrow, but they couldn't stop Liu Kan's copper arrow. screamed, and was pierced by the copper.

The body flew off the wheel, and the tent stared at the ground.

Yongya subconsciously stood up and glared at Liu Bang and Liu Kan: "What are you doing?" ”

Liu Bang was just about to speak, but Liu Kan spoke first: "Yongya, do you want to be beheaded by the nine clans of Zhulian?" Don't forget, our parents and dependents are still in Pei County. The top priority is to kill the thieves, who dares to rebel again, Liu Kan is the first to spare him. ”

In a word, calm down many people.

Those who achieve great things are not informal. But the question is, how many people have been able to achieve great things since ancient times? After all, there are many ordinary people, and a person can not be afraid of life and death, but how can parents and brothers be ruthlessly abandoned? After all, in this era, the concept of the state has not yet arisen, and everything is focused on the clan. Among the Seven Kingdoms, only the old Qin people ruled the country with Qin, and it took two hundred years to change.

The clan concept, coupled with Liu Kan's previous display of force, and Liu Bang's prestige, temporarily calmed everyone down.

At least on the surface, everyone seems to have a clear goal. But is there a unity of thought in this heart? Outsiders are afraid that there is no way to know. The Jing Barbarian army had already rushed up, and the resistance of the grain team was significantly weaker than before, especially on the right flank.

And Wang Ling concentrated all the main forces in the direction of the central army and the left flank.

The Yongyan Department on the right flank looked like it was fighting lively, but in fact it was thunder louder than raindrops, and it was just a bluff.

Wang Ling and Yongya, in the blink of an eye, have reached some kind of unknown tacit understanding. Zhao Tuo knew that this was the case, but there was no way. Seeing that the round array was torn open, and the Jing barbarian thieves were rushing over in a steady stream, he knew that it was time to fight hard......

"Liu Kan, hold Daxu!"

Zhao Tuo brandished his iron sword, shouted loudly, and rushed into the chaos in a row.

In an instant, the shouts of killing became loud, and everyone had to face the biggest crisis since the start of the war.
