Chapter 225: The Cavalry Moves South

From Longhe defending in the north to Xiang Zhuang defending in the south, the Chu army basically collapsed at the touch of a button, and there was no combat effectiveness at all, and it seemed that the elite troops were indeed taken to Qi by Xiang Yu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu! My good brother, you can play slowly in Qi Country, and it's best not to come back......

"Report ...... King Xiang and Liu Bang have commanded the three-way army, and Keri is approaching Pengcheng, which is currently only more than 200 miles away from our capital. The defenders of Pengcheng have abandoned the city and fled, and the people in Pengcheng have not had time to retreat! "100,000 Tanma hurried to the Chinese army's big tent to report.

Xiang Yu sat in the tent, and his face did not change. The generals on both sides changed color, because most of the generals' families were in Pengcheng, and they all said that they were under a lot of pressure when they heard the news.

Fan Zeng couldn't sit still, although he was alone and didn't have a small family, but the old man still cared more about the generals. He stood up and sighed, "Yu'er, we can't spend so much time in Qi Country anymore!" These little thieves of the Qi State don't need us to bring 200,000 troops to attack at all. Now, Liu Bang led the princes of the Five Roads to attack Pengcheng! We must hurry back to the division, and the whole army will rush to the aid of Pengcheng, and it will be too late. ”

All the generals kept nodding their heads, expressing their agreement with Fan Zeng's words.

Xiang Yu smiled slightly and said: "Father Ya has a point, but the Han army is only more than 200 miles away from Pengcheng; If we return from the Qi country, even if we go day and night, how long will it take for the whole army to rush back to Pengcheng? If we rush back to Pengcheng day and night, and the Han army is just waiting for work, will our men and horses still be able to fight? I just fell for the tricks of the Han army! ”

Fan Zeng and the generals were stunned, not understanding what Xiang Yu meant. Fan Zeng continued: "Then according to your meaning, we won't save Pengcheng?" Just throw the wives and children of the great country and the generals to Liu Bang, we don't care? ! ”

Xiang Yu waved his hand and sneered: "Definitely! I didn't say that I wouldn't save it, but that I couldn't return to the division with the whole army. We must continue to create the illusion of attacking Qi with all our might, otherwise as soon as the troops are withdrawn here, the Qi people will be chasing behind us, and we will really fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on our backs! What I mean is that we have to leave the main force in Qi and make the Han army think that we are going to destroy Qi as a new base. I will lead a strange army to detour behind the Han army, cut off the return route of the Han army, and kill them to the ground! ”

"Huh?!" Fan Zeng and the generals vomited blood together, and a strange army went around behind the Han army? Wouldn't that be more of a day and night? Wouldn't it be even more important to be treated by the Han army?! Fan Zeng sighed: "Yu'er, this time the Han army's 560,000 male divisions, although they are not as brave and good at fighting as the Qin army before, but a group of ants bite the elephant to death, in the face of this group of hungry wolves, we can't always take chances!" ”

Xiang Yu saw through the worries in the hearts of the generals, stood up and said: "Brothers, your family is my family, and your relatives are my relatives!" So, rest assured, I will definitely do my best to defeat Liu Bang and rescue all the old folks in Pengcheng. Everyone can rest assured that Liu Bang himself is also a Chu person, and he did not dare to burn and kill lightly when he entered the Qin State, so after entering Chu, he did not dare to do unrighteous acts. Moreover, I am confident that I will completely defeat him before he has a firm foothold, so that he will never dare to speak lightly again! ”

Xiang Yu's words brought confidence to the generals, after all, they knew that Xiang Yu could always create miracles on the battlefield.

Xiang Yu saw that the mood of the crowd gradually stabilized, and then ordered: "I order Xiang Bo, you lead a thousand elite soldiers to Xuecheng to protect Yu Ji, and after the battle of Pengcheng is over, escort Yu Ji back to Pengcheng." ”

Xiang Bo responded: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Xiang Yu continued to order: "Zhong Liwu, you lead the main force and continue to attack Linzi of Qi State, be sure to kill the rebel general Tian Rong, teach the people of Qi a lesson, don't go against my Great Chu!" ”

Zhong Liwu stood up and stood up straight, and responded: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Xiang Yu continued to order: "Yafu, you are with General Zhong, but you immediately repair a letter to Yingbu, the king of Jiujiang, and order him to lead his men and horses, disguise himself as a poor man and march to Pengcheng, wait for me to fight with the main force of the Han army, and then attack the back of the Han army with all my strength." ”

Fan Zeng responded: "The old minister obeys the order!" ”

Xiang Yu continued to order: "Xiang Zhuang, you lead the 20,000 cavalry under your command and then detour behind the Han army day and night, in addition to the original war horses, and then borrow 20,000 war horses from the main force, each soldier has two horses, one horse carries people, and one horse carries supplies. The army is set off now, and there is no time to delay! At the same time, you sent a horse disguised as a common man, and went to the area of [Chengpu] to inform Long Ji, so that he could lead his cavalry to the south with all his strength and join our army in Pengcheng! ”
