Chapter 373: The Dragon Swims Against the Water
Xiang Zhuang definitely didn't believe this answer. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Ji Bu gave another answer: "Stupid! King Xiang said, decisive battle, Xingyang! If we march in a hurry, Liu Bang will not have time to prepare, and his army will turn around and run away without firing a shot. King Xiang marched slowly, so that the Han army could not figure out our real intentions, so that the Han army would be nervous, and once it was nervous, it would mobilize all kinds of troops, and all of them would gather in the area of Xingyang for strategic defense. Only in this way can we effectively assemble the Han army in Xingyang to the greatest extent, and we will have the opportunity to completely eliminate the main force of the Han army! ”
Everyone suddenly realized that King Xiang had already calculated. This Ji Bu can guess King Xiang's plan, which is indeed not an ordinary general. Ji Bu was a famous swordsman and general in the Qin and Han dynasties, and later served as the five tiger generals under the overlord, besieging Liu Bang several times, and was one of the powerful characters in addition to Yingbu and Long Ji.
"The dragon swims against the current;
The cross-wave battle has not stopped for thousands of years, Qingzi groans!
Who will? Ronghua traction?
A product of gold, the hero is full of tears......
Who is infatuation right with? Beauty red makeup is lonely! ”
However, it is said that Liu Bang led an army of 200,000 to the north, and almost effortlessly, defeated Zhong Liwu and killed the famous general Zhonggong. After recovering Xingyang and [Chenggao], Liu Bang felt very excited! Finally relieved the evil spirit of running away in embarrassment last time. Liu Bang walked around Xingyang a few times, arranged for manpower to strengthen the defense and attack, and then personally went to [Chenggao] to rectify the defense; He knew that Xiang Yu would definitely come again, but this time he should be able to drag on a little longer in Xingyang, right? This "Turtle Breath Great Array" still has to hold on, Han Xin, you should hurry up and take the Qi State and wait for the opportunity to copy Xiang Yu's nest!
Tan Ma reported that Xiang Yu couldn't help it, and led the army from Pengcheng in the starry night and went straight to Xingyang.
Liu Bang immediately laughed, haha, this Xiang Yu child is really obedient. If I let you come to Xingyang, you will come?! When you come, Lao Tzu can't beat me, I'll keep running! While reinforcing the defense, Liu Bang deliberately arranged the withdrawal route, and the most important thing was to send Zhou Bo to continuously strengthen the Tongguan defense line in case of contingencies.
In June of the third year of the Han Dynasty, this time the Chu army came to Xingyang slowly; Liu Bang had indeed taken enough precautions in Xingyang, and sent Han Wang Xin and [Zhou Cao] to lead more than 100,000 troops to defend Xingyang; He personally led an army of 150,000 to garrison [Chenggao]! The strength of the two sides is about the same, and Xiang Yu is also 250,000, but Xiang Yu has a slight advantage in attacking.
However, this time, Liu Bang miscalculated again!
How did you miscalculate? It turned out that Xiang Yu had already ordered Zhong Liwu to manipulate the entire city wall south of Xingyang before withdrawing from Xingyang. Zhong Liwu had already arranged a troop to use the time on duty at night to dig up the bottom of the entire city wall south of Xingyang. As soon as Xiang Yu's army came, the other city gates were not attacked at all, and dozens of trebuchets were directly dispatched to target the southern city of Xingyang, and soon, the southern city of Xingyang was blasted out of a big gap!
Terror! It's insidious! Xiang Yu actually calculated this day earlier!
It took only one day for Xingyang City to be breached, and Xiang Yu's iron cavalry was like a torrent, instantly flooding Xingyang City. Pity the 100,000 Han army, only more than 30,000 were running fast and fled to [Chenggao] to join Liu Bang. Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Wangxin, the general of Xingyang, hung up the white flag and announced his surrender. The other two guards, Zong Gong and [Zhou Cao], were surrounded in the city and rushed to kill.
Xiang Yu ordered someone to persuade [Zhou Cao] to surrender, saying: "Liu Bang is insidious and cunning, he is a despicable villain, and he has no future with Liu Bang." If you are willing to surrender, you will be immediately made a general and add 30,000 households! "The strange thing is that [Zhou Cao] and [Zong Gong] have both exerted the revolutionary spirit of not being greedy for money and not afraid of death, and they are not afraid of death, and [Zhou Cao] also said impassionedly: "Xiang Yu Xiao'er, you are not the opponent of the King of Han, surrender quickly!" ”
After a fierce battle, [Zonggong] was killed by the dragon. [Zhou Cao] was captured alive by Zhong Lifu. [Zhou Cao] finally made a speech to the effect that "Xiang Yu, Lao Tzu's head is up to you!" Twenty years later, another hero! ”
Xiang Yu is really angry, shameless, you think you are really a hero!
He ordered someone to cook [Zhou Cao] alive! What does it mean to cook? It's like stir-frying, fried in oil!
Xiang Yu is definitely a bloody person, and his thinking is completely different from ordinary people, so far, he has invented three original killing methods - boiling corpses (the mother of Wang Ling), roasting alive (Ji Xin), and cooking (Zhou Cao)! The history books do not analyze the reasons why Xiang Yu invented these tortures, but these cruel methods are outrageous to think about!
This time, it was Liu Bang's turn to cry bitterly! It's really painful!
This weeping is not fear, but despair! After three years of fighting, the Xingyang defense line, which was constantly reinforced, was unexpectedly broken by Xiang Yu in just one day! What about Cheng Gao?
