Pei County was defended, and Lu Taigong was able to breathe a sigh of relief, the losses of the Pei army in this battle were extremely heavy, especially the new soldiers, who had not experienced the battlefield and exposed great flaws. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Lu Taigong swept over these recruits and sighed again, hoping that after this battle, these soldiers can also grow up quickly.

"Yongping, order to rest." Lu Taigong instructed the generals beside him, paused, he stopped again, and said again: "Strengthen inspections, and pay more attention to the changes of the soldiers, this battle has a great impact on them, don't have (riots)." ”

"No, the last general understands." Yongping gave the order, and then went down to make arrangements.

Lu Taigong didn't know what happened to Xiao He's reinforcements, and at this time he didn't dare to act rashly anymore, his eyes swept outside the city, and he could only pray for Xiao He silently.

And Xiao He was also anxious when he saw Xiang Jiajun getting closer and closer. I wanted to relieve the siege of Peixian and lead the Xiang family army away, but I didn't expect to be used by the other party and divided my troops to Pengcheng. He is anxious about Peng Cheng now, how can he still have the heart to fight with the Xiang family army behind him.

"Xiao Xiancheng, you have to get rid of the pursuit." Lu Ze caught up and said.

Xiao He was riding on horseback, his bumpy and undulating posture, and he was thinking quickly in his mind. "Lu Ze, the road ahead is narrow, can you be sure to stop the Xiang family's army for half an hour?"

When Lu Ze heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Half an hour? Xiao Xiancheng rest assured and handed it over to Yu Ze. ”

"If not, retreat immediately!" Xiao He admonished again, and then he instructed the guards: "Lead a thousand soldiers, follow me!" ”

As a result, the 8,000 troops were divided into two routes, Xiao He led 1,000 troops to march forward quickly, and Lu Ze led the remaining 7,000 troops to hold on the narrow gallop road. Because there are rivers on both sides of this section of the gallop road, only this gallop road can be crossed, and holding this gallop road can prevent the Xiang family's army from continuing to pursue.

"Kill!" Xiang Yu rode his horse and moved, since Pei Jun chose to fight, he couldn't ask for it. Xiang Yu was excited, and the halberd in his hand was invincible.

Pei's army was under great pressure, although he was fighting with Xiang's army by taking advantage of the terrain, but under the leadership of Xiang Yu, Xiang's army had many fierce generals, and Pei's soldiers and casualties gradually increased. Lu Ze fought bloodily, he promised Xiao He to resist the Xiang family's army for half an hour, although he didn't know why Xiao He did this, but he would never let Xiang Yu lead the troops to rush over, even if Xiao He said that he could evacuate.

"Go up and die." Lu Ze roared angrily.

"Rush!"

Xiang Yu laughed, riding a black horse to kill wantonly in the Pei army, and no one was invincible at all. Killing people is like chopping melons, this is the best description of Xiang Yu at this time. The Xiang family army advanced step by step, and the Pei army fell and rushed up, one after another, blocking the advance of this family army with their own lives.

Xiao He led the troops to the front, and he hurriedly ordered, "Hurry, cut down trees." Pressed for time, he drew his sword and went into battle himself.

The soldiers and soldiers of Pei also drew their swords one after another and entered the mountains and forests. These thousand soldiers did not dare to slack off, and they all used their strength, humming and using their blades to cut down. They worked in groups of five, and Xiao He did not let the soldiers cut down the giant trees, but specially picked up those trees that did not have many annual rings and were only the thickness of the bowl mouth. In this way, Pei soldiers can cut down more in a very short time.

"Xiao Xiancheng, what are you going to do here?" A guard asked.

"Hurry up and cut down, our sergeants are still buying time for perfection." Xiao He did not answer, but continued to cut down. Seeing this, the guards also worked harder.

Half an hour was not too long, a thousand soldiers cut down hundreds of trees, Xiao He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to pile these trees into a bundle of twenty each, and block them with hemp rope in the middle of each bundle, one end of which was tied to the trees on both sides of the road.

In this way, dozens of bundles of trees were tied to the gallop road blocked by hemp ropes. Xiao He immediately ordered the two ends of these trees to be set on fire. As a result, the fire began to spread, and dozens of bundles of raging fire burned on both sides of the gallop.

Xiao He calculated the hour, half an hour had passed, and according to the agreement, Lu Ze should retreat. Xiao He didn't know how the battle in the rear was going, could it be that Lu Ze's army had been entangled by the Xiang family's army and could not retreat? Or is it all gone? Xiao He couldn't hide his worry in his heart.

"Xiao Xiancheng, here!" Suddenly, the army surged, and the guards reminded.

Xiao He fixed his eyes, and the anxiety in his heart finally fell, and Lu Ze had already led the troops back. "Quick, listen to me!"

Lu Ze and the others were very embarrassed, and the soldiers of Pei were exhausted, and the blocking battle was not easy, causing thousands of casualties to the army. Lu Ze saw the piles of trees burning on both sides of the road, and he wondered in his heart, he didn't know what Xiao He was going to do?

Xiao He shouted: "Lu Ze, don't stop the speed, pass quickly." ”

Hearing this, Lu Ze quickly whipped his horse and led the troops to rush over. Xiao He saw that after his army passed, the Xiang family's army was also desperately chasing, he sneered and ordered: "Cut the hemp rope." ”

"No!" Sergeant Pei received the order, and at the same time cut the hemp rope that bound the wood to block the burning wood. Unrestrained, the trees rolled down the trail with flames. Hundreds of firewood trees form walls of fire. The temperature on the road increased sharply, and the heat wave came after wave.

"Let's go!" Xiao He rode his horse and moved, and a thousand Pei troops immediately followed.

Xiang Yu led the troops to the firewood, and at a glance, dozens of meters on the gallop road were covered by these firewoods, and it was impossible to pass at all. The pursuing Xiang family soldiers also stopped, and in the face of such a sea of fire, no soldier dared to take a step forward.

Xiang Jiajun's war horse was also restless in the face of the scorching waves, but only the black horse that Xiang Yu sat on was still as steady as Mount Tai. Xiang Yu's face was hideous, and his angry look made people dare not approach, "This damn Pei Jun actually played such a trick." ”

"Borrow!" Xiang Liang also chased after him, and when he saw the sea of fire in front of him, he frowned and said, "Quickly bypass." ”

Xiang Yu nodded, and immediately led the army to take a detour from the mountains and forests on the side of the road, but this was not easy to walk, the horses were not fast in the dense forest, and the soldiers would be blocked, and it was impossible to pursue. The reason why Xiang Liang wanted to make a detour was to reinforce Pengcheng. Ji Bu had already led his troops to Pengcheng, and if nothing else, he could capture it.

This is what Xiang Liang dreamed of, seizing Pengcheng, controlling Xiong Xin, and completely dismantling Liu Yuan's foundation. From now on, the state of Chu will be his family's.

Xiao He had already joined up with Lu Ze, and using the strategy of the sea of fire, Pei Jun finally got rid of the pursuit of the Xiang family's army. But the situation in Pengcheng is not optimistic, Xiao He is also prepared for the worst, even if Pengcheng is lost, Lu Pheasant and Liu's mother must not have any accidents.

Especially Lu Pheasant, who is pregnant, is the hope of Peijun and must not be lost.

"Let's go, return to Pengcheng." (To be continued.) )
