Chapter Twenty-Three: The South Vietnamese
readx;
Xiang Liang's hundreds of thousands of troops were completely annihilated, so that the Qin army did not have any problem of crossing the Huai River. www.biquge.info It is conceivable what consequences Shouchun City, which is only garrisoned by more than 100,000 Chu troops, will face after the total destruction of Xiang Liang's army.
Even Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang had already thought that even if Shouchun had not been captured by the Qin army now, he could only survive, and it was only a matter of time before he fell.
The situation has changed more than all into the imagination, or worsened more than all into the imagination.
Before the third death, Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang still fantasized that no matter how bad the Chu State was, they would be able to stick to the Chu land, and wait until the Nanyue Ziying sent troops and then threw the little Qin Emperor who overlooked the entire death in Xianyang into the room.
After the third death, their army has been like floating duckweed, and it seems that there is no place for them except for the temporarily stable land of Jiangdong.
The unprecedented crisis made Xiang Yu completely forget about the feud with Zhang Liang, and took the initiative to put down his body and ask Zhang Liang what he should do in the future. In the current situation, no matter how stupid Xiang Yu is, he knows that he is already at the threshold of life and death.
Obviously, the Qin army had already discovered his own army, so Feng Zai's army on the north bank of the Huai River just blocked the way he had to go north, and the reason why Feng Zao had not attacked so far was only one explanation, that is, he was waiting for the rest of the Qin army to come to encircle him. ββ
The longer the time drags on, the more difficult the situation will become.
This night, Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang had a very happy conversation, full of affection. Xiang Liang was captured, Xiang Yu was the only successor of the Xiang clan, and the object of Zhang Liang's allegiance also changed. The change of identity made the two completely forget the unhappiness in the past.
Regardless of whether we continue to go north or go south to join South Vietnam, there is one thing that must be done. That is, we must first deal with the 100,000 Qin army in front of Feng Zheng, who is like a maggot attached to a bone.
In order to allow Xiang Yu to disturb Shandong and other places as much as possible, so that Daqin could not take care of each other, Xiang Liang gave more than half of Jing Rui to Xiang Yu. Therefore, Xiang Yu is still very confident in his 100,000 Chu army.
These 100,000 Chu troops, whether they are Jiangdong disciples or Baiyue barbarians, whether they are morale or weapons and equipment, are much stronger than the tens of thousands of troops he commanded when he went to Chengwu before.
And Xiang Yu did not hide the news that Xiang Liang was captured and Shouchun was about to be captured by the Qin army. It's just that the outcome of the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops captured by the White Tiger Army is unknown. ββ
The advantage of being vague is that it can make associations, no matter which direction you think about, what Xiang Yu says will not affect him. Because he doesn't have a clubhouse.
Under the premise that only one side of Great Qin and Chu can destroy the world and be clean, and there is a precedent of killing hundreds of thousands of people to surrender to the Zhao army, it is self-evident which direction the soldiers of the Chu army should go.
The same era, almost the same situation, different enemy invasions, different locations, Xiang Yu's destruction of the cauldron was staged again.
The sharpest soldiers in the hands of the 100,000 Chu Xiang Yu did not disappoint Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang. Morale and military morale not only did not fall because of this, but on the contrary, morale was greatly inflated and the morale of the army was boiling.
I didn't want to die. But if you don't want to die, then obviously you can only let Qin Jun, who is staring at him, die.
The military heart is available, and this battle will be won. These are the eight words that Zhang Liang whispered to Xiang Yu.
One hundred thousand Chu troops poured out of the nest and approached the location of Feng Zheng's department.
As soon as the Chu army was launched, Feng Zheng had already received the news. ββNow the initiative of the matter is no longer in the hands of Feng Zai, but in the hands of Xiang Yu. It is impossible for Feng Zai to retreat without a fight, not to mention that in Feng Zao's opinion, the gap in strength between the two sides is not very large.
Han Xin had already said in his last letter that he was only fifty miles away from Feng Zheng's location, even if he was really not Xiang Yu's opponent, he only needed to delay Xiang Yu for an hour or two, and when Han Xin's army arrived, Xiang Yu, the last army of Chu Xiang Yu, would be unable to fly.
Before Feng Zai moved to the position of Imperial Doctor, he had been leading the army to fight. It was only after the unification of Great Qin that there was no war to fight before he became the imperial historian.
For the matter of marching and fighting, Feng Zheng's ability is actually not inferior to Wang Li, or even slightly better. A series of orders were issued, and in addition to leaving more than 1,000 soldiers in the Qin army to guard the camp, the remaining 90,000 soldiers poured out. In this battle, Feng Zheng has already thought of a countermeasure, that is, one word, drag.
dragged until Han Xin's army came, and Jing Rui, the Qinglong Army dragged to Xu Chuang, dragged Xiang Yu's 100,000 army to death.
Now that Daqin has an absolute advantage, and Xiang Yu has become a grasshopper after the autumn, it won't be long before he can stumble with Xiang Yu, right?
I don't know when the sun has quietly disappeared in the thick clouds, and the cold wind with a terrible howl rolls up the boundless dust and rags wantonly. ββIn the endless wilderness, two black sΓ¨ torrents are rapidly approaching.
β¦β¦ Han Shin's army.
"Dare to ask the general, why did the army suddenly stop?" Wang Qiao, the captain of the Caishi Battalion, walked into Han Xin's tent in a hurry, and asked with his fists clenched.
Feng Zai didn't know that when Han Xin wrote a letter to him, it was actually less than fifty miles away from where Feng Zai's army was. Even if the fifty-mile army was not in a hurry, it was only an hour small and could reach Feng Zheng's location.
Wang Qiao, as the captain of the material battalion, has no doubt about his own ability, and he is also from the Wang family, and he was already a captain when Wang Kun was the general of the material officer. Although Hu Hai listened to Wei Yu's words and did not give Han Xin the position of any of the main generals of the five major legions, he transferred 20,000 soldiers from the battalion to Han Xin's command, which can be regarded as a small compensation for Han Xin.
In a few months, the young Han Xin had already established a high prestige in the Caishi camp. The Caishi battalion itself is the place where the generals at all levels in the Great Qin Army have been trained, and the soldiers in the Caishi battalion will be transferred to the local army as officers at all levels after one or two major battles.
Although Wang Qiao also admired Han Xin's ability to command the army, seeing that the big war was imminent, the army only needed to march for more than half an hour to reach the place where the general Feng Zhengjun was, but at this time, Han Xin, who was the main general, suddenly ordered the whole army to stop marching and set up camp to bury the pot and cook. ββIt seems that I don't want to move forward anytime soon.
"General Wang, my army has been traveling for more than 100 miles in a row, and all the soldiers are tired, if you encounter Xiang Yu's thief army at this moment, does the general think that he can win in one battle?" Han Xin held a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, glanced at Wang Qiao and said lightly.
"It's just that General Feng is ......"
"When General Feng commanded the army for a long time, General Wang thought that the general would definitely lose to the feather thief chieftain?"
"The last general will not dare." Although Wang Qiao still had some doubts in his heart. But as the captain of the Caishi Battalion, he knew very well that even for Jing Rui's Caishi Battalion soldiers, most of them were tired after two consecutive rapid marches, and as for the Qin army that Zhang Er Chen Yu's rebels were reorganized, it was even more unbearable.
Wang Qiao knew very well that everything Han Xin said was a real fact.
"General Wang, pass the order. The army seized the time to rest, and after two hours the whole army was marched. Han Xin put down the bamboo slip in his hand and ordered with a solemn expression.
"The last general obeys!"
Looking at Wang Qiao, who was retreating, Han Xin smiled helplessly. Han Xin could understand the psychology of the army under his command, especially the 20,000 battalion of soldiers, who were eager to fight, but he didn't want to attack blindly like this.
Compared with Feng Zheng, who only learned about Xiang Yu's army through the edict sent by Hu Hai, Han Xin's understanding of Xiang Yu's Chu army, which had become a lone army, was far greater than Feng Zheng.
Feng Zai never noticed a name repeatedly mentioned in Hu Hai's edict, and that was Zhang Liang. Several times, Han Xin found that Zhang Liang's name in the emperor's edict was still in front of Xiang Yu.
In the pre-Qin era, which emphasized strength and dignity, it was impossible for such a mistake to be made.
In the two years of hurrying, Han Xin spent most of his time studying Zhang Liang in addition to studying how to eliminate Xiang Yu's Qianjing neat point.
Zhang Liang's name is still heard by many people in the Qin army. Especially those South Koreans who followed Zhang Er and Chen Yu to raise troops.
Han Xin's son, Bo Langsha's assassination, Huangshi's book gift, and so on, Han Xin is carefully studying. At this time, Han Xin discovered that in the final analysis, Zhang Liang was the one in Xiang Yu's army that the emperor considered the biggest threat.
With the assistance of Zhang Liang, who is extremely resourceful, and the brave and unparalleled Xiang Yu, the sum of the two entries obviously cannot be simply equated with one plus one equals two.
Therefore, Han Xin set up camp less than forty miles away from Feng Zheng's army. Han Xin is also an extremely conceited entry, although he is not afraid of Zhang Liang, but he still wants to let Feng Zheng and Xiang Yu bump into each other first.
Feng Zheng unfortunately became a tool in Han Xin's hands to throw stones and ask for directions.
Han Xin, to make this battle win crisp and neat. Prove to the emperor that even if he leads a rabble, he can be as good as anyone else.
β¦β¦ At this time, on the sea level of Haiyan County (the north side of Hangzhou Bay in later generations, belonging to the Jiaxing area) near the sea in Huiji County, a large black shadow suddenly appeared in the place where the sea and the sea meet, slowly approaching the coastline where Haiyan is located.
The black shadow gradually approached, and the fishermen who were fishing found that the black shadow was a dense crowd of more than 100 building boats coming across the sea, Zhao Gang stood on top of the building boat, looking at the yellow coastline not far away, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Since leaving South Vietnam in late August, he and his soldiers have been floating at sea for more than a month. Although it is always moving along the coastline, anyone who dies in the sea and faces the endless sea for more than a month will not be able to bear it, and the boredom alone can drive life crazy.
Seeing that the clear water and the grain and vegetables were going to be chime, all the soldiers were on the verge of collapse, and finally arrived at the destination of this trip, the base of Chu Xiang, Huiji County.
More than 100 building ships, more than 1,000 soldiers, carrying a large number of ordnance, set off from South Vietnam, along the long coastline all the way to the east, arrived at the location of Huiji County, Ziying and Zhao Tuo in order to support Chu Xiang, indeed spared no effort. The two sides can be said to have their own plans, Ziying and Zhao Tuo want Xiang Liang to disturb the hinterland of Great Qin, disperse the main force of Great Qin, reduce the pressure faced by South Vietnam, and consume Great Qin's troops. Xiang Liang wanted to get enough Great Qin-style weapons from Ziying. Naturally, it hits it off.
It's just that Zhao Gang came in person this time, not just to send a batch of ordnance to Xiang Liang.
