Chapter 858: Guling Interception and Killing, "Dragon Fights in the Wild"
The retreat route of the Chu army surprised everyone, and the Han army, which was pursuing on the whole line, was deeply puzzled. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Tanma came back and reported: "King Qihan, the Chu army did not retreat east along the Yellow River, and it seems that it has no intention of returning to Pengcheng. They turned south and went straight in the direction of Guling. ”
"Guling?" Liu Bang was taken aback, puzzled, and then asked Zhang Liangdao beside him: "What does Brother Zifang think about this?" Could it be that Xiang Yu plans to give up Pengcheng? Could it be that Xiang Yu is worried that we have ambushes along the way? What was his motive for going south? ”
Zhang Liang shook his head, took out the marching map and looked at it again, and said thoughtfully: "Boss, this Xiang Yu is really cunning!" He seems to have concluded that we will not really negotiate peace, and intends to deliberately lead our army to the south and open up a new battlefield to avoid being surrounded by our army on all sides! If we follow the Guling line and quickly escape to the banks of the Wujiang River, then the great encirclement situation that we have spent three years forming will be directly broken by Xiang Yushen unknowingly. Then the two armies faced each other along the Wujiang River, the Chu army practiced water warfare more, and the northern army did not adapt to the southern climate at all, and the general trend of the world was not yet known! ”
"Huh?! The battlefield moves south, and the Wujiang River confronts! Liu Bang was taken aback and gasped! God, the god of war is the god of war, Xiang Yu thought of the [plan to break the game] so quickly! If it weren't for Zhang Liang and letting Xiang Yu run south, the future would be in big trouble!
"Zifang, then shouldn't our army speed up the pursuit, and we must intercept Xiang Yu in the north of the Wujiang River!" Liu Bang came to a conclusion with difficulty, the situation in this world seems to be under control, but if you don't pay attention to it, you will be overturned by Xiang Yu.
"That's right! We can't wait any longer, we must pursue at full speed, and at the same time order Peng Yue, Han Xin and others to quickly assemble, move south from Pengcheng, and stop Xiang Yu from retreating to the south bank of the Wujiang River. If you miss this opportunity, it will be almost impossible to eliminate Xiang Yu in the future! Zhang Liang quickly came up with a strategic proposal, and everyone agreed.
At the end of the discussion, Liu Bang immediately ordered to march at full speed, and at the same time sent messengers to Peng Yue, Han Xin, General Fei, General Liu, Yingbu, Guan Ying, etc., requiring all armies to quickly assemble in the Wujiang Theater and be sure to cut off Xiang Yu's intention to move south.
Drunken Horse Song,
Xiao Ao's blood is free and easy!
A pot of cloudy wine into the throat,
Laughing books are all over the sky!
Who has solved the merits of Qianqiu?
Leave a famous painting in history!
The country is changing its fingers,
Who wants to be a cocoon on me?!
The Chu army and the Han army launched a race of life and death, and the Han army discarded the grain and grass baggage, day and night, and chased frantically.
The Chu army also discarded grain and grass baggage, only brought dry food, and the cavalry and infantry went south at full speed. The speed of the cavalry was naturally relatively fast, and Xiang Yu ordered Xiang Zhuang to lead 20,000 cavalry and go to Guling to arrange the battle situation first.
The Han army chased after the infantry of the Chu army, and did not dare to get too close, after all, Xiang Yulongwei was still there!
300,000 Han troops, advancing step by step; And Xiang Yu led 60,000 Chu army infantry, fighting and retreating, setting up many suspicious soldiers along the way!
Soon, the Chu army drove to Guling (now Huaiyang, Henan), where the city was not solid, it was only a small city at that time, and it was not suitable for large-scale defense, but the area around Guling was full of large plains for more than 100 miles, and the troops marched, and the whereabouts could be seen almost at a glance; The scouts and scouts have nowhere to hide.
The 60,000 infantry of the Chu army marched into Guling City.
Dozens of miles outside Guling City, as far as the eye can see, the Han army is overwhelmingly chasing and killing!
Suddenly, Zhang Liang quickly caught up with Liu Bang and whispered: "Boss, I always feel a cool breeze blowing on my neck, which is only felt during the Battle of Pengcheng." I think Xiang Yu may have an ambush this time! ”
Zhang Liang's words were full of interest, and Liu Bang immediately broke out in a cold sweat! Liu Bang exclaimed: "No! This is the Great Plains, uninhabited for hundreds of miles, and there are no people in sight! The Chu army has all entered Guling City, this city is simply an earthen city, not suitable for defense, and it can be broken with one attack! ”
