Chapter 372: Galloping
When Kui Che said that Xiang Zhuang was going to attack the Qi State, the ministers such as Liji, Zhu Jian, and Fei Baht were stunned at first, and then laughed, Xiang Zhuang only brought these tens of thousands of cavalry to dare to fight the Qi State? Really take Han Xin is not Han Xin, this word needs to be believed, Yingbu is furious, and roared: "Kuaiche, you dare to fool the widow? ”
"Why did the king say that?" Kui Che was stunned, "What the minister said is the truth - kbook update"
Kuaiche also didn't think that Xiang Zhuang's tens of thousands of cavalry could win the Qi State, and it was very likely that there would be no return, but in the Chu army camp, Xiang Zhuang said this to him.
Zhu Jian smiled and said coldly: "I'm afraid that the attack on Qi is fake, and the fake way to sneak attack my Huainan is real, right?" ”
Fat Baht also said: "Xiang Zhuang has already played a trick of fake Dao extermination, is it possible that he wants to play a second time?" You need to know that our Huainan country is not a Linjiang country, hum! ”
Yingbu snorted and said, "The widow is not the co-captain. ”
Kui Che sighed and closed his mouth helplessly, because he knew that Yingbu no longer trusted him, and no matter how much he explained, it would be in vain.
Yingbu glanced at Kui Che coldly, and then took Fei Baht and the others to the city to patrol the night in person.
However, what Yingbu feared most did not happen, and the Chu army did not take advantage of the night to sneak attack Pengcheng.
The next day, when the eastern sky was just showing the whiteness of the fish's belly, the banks of the Surabaya River were plunged into the bustle of the boiling sky, and the tents were unloaded, tied, and then loaded into canvas bags, and the horses were put on their bridles, and then the saddles were buckled, and the cavalry mounted one after another, like a stream flowing into a great river, and began to gather bustling towards the galloping road.
In less than half an hour, the torrent of cavalry heading north disappeared into the northern wilderness, and only the smoke and dust gradually rose from the sky, obscuring the rising sun in the east.

Handan, the army of Qi has already approached the city.
Outside the city, the 100,000 Qi army has set up a huge formation, the heavy infantry is in front, the spearmen and halberders are in the center, the flying spearmen and archers are hidden in the back, and finally it is the baggage team...... It's already on the verge of eruption.
In the main formation of the Chinese army, the purple King of Qi Daxu is hunting and drifting in the east wind, and under the Daxu, Han Xin is wearing a purple royal robe and a purple coat, and he is standing calmly on the car.
Suddenly, Lang General Cao Wei stepped forward and reported: "King, everything is ready!" ”
Han Xin bowed his head slightly, raised his right hand and pressed it forward gently, and not far away, the herald who had been staring at Han Xin suddenly turned around, picked up a bright red pennant and shook it vigorously. To read the latest chapters of this book, please search on Baidu:
Dozens of paces, dozens of bare-chested and bare-chested Qi army wrewlers withdrew their eyes from the towering lookout, and then raised a huge drumstick and slammed it heavily on the marching drum that was more than one person high.
Suddenly, the muffled sound of trumpets and the impassioned drums of war burst into the sky.
In the rear of the Qi army, the captain of the light car pulled out his long sword and held it high above the top, and more than 20 bare-chested and bareback Qi military wrestlers raised the wooden hammer in their hands, and with the fall of the sword in the hands of the light car captain, the wooden hammer in the hands of the Qi army wrestler also fell suddenly, accompanied by the sound of Zheng Zheng, the machine of more than 20 catapults suddenly opened.
The next moment, the counterweight weighing tens of thousands of catties fell suddenly, and the other end of the throwing arm suddenly bounced up, and then dragged the huge hanging basket with iron cables, and flew into the air with a piercing scream, when the hanging basket crossed the highest point, the boulder placed in the basket suddenly broke free from the restraints, and roared towards the city outline in front of it.........

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun falls and is bleak.
Outside Boyang City, all the eyes can see are a ridge of Qianmo, Qianmo is full of millet seeds, this year's Jibei County is still a good wind and rain, so the growth of millet is good, the spit out of the millet ears are long and big, it is a rare harvest year, the farmers who are working in the fields all show a happy smile on their faces.
An old farmer sat down in his own field, grabbed the clay pot and was about to pour water into the bowl, but the clay bowl placed on the stone suddenly fell to the ground, and the light fell into two petals, the old farmer was stunned for a moment, and when he was puzzled, he suddenly felt that the ground under his feet seemed to be trembling slightly, and faintly, as if there was some sound coming from the sky.
The old peasant put down the clay pot, stood up a little dazedly, and looked south with his hand on the awning.
Not far away, the farmers who were working hard in the fields also stopped what they were doing, straightened up one by one, and looked back to the south.
On the south side of the field is a low mountain beam, and it is impossible to see the situation behind the mountain beam, but the faint sound is clearly coming from the other side of the mountain, and the fear quickly spreads in the field, and some alert farmers have thrown away the farm tools in their hands and quietly turned around and ran in the direction of the county seat.
It seemed like a long time had passed, as if it had only been an instant, and a cavalry suddenly appeared ghostly from behind the mountain beam.
The cavalryman only gently pulled the reins of his horse, and in an instant the man stood up with his front hooves in the air, and hissed with his head held high.
The peasants clearly saw that the cavalry on horseback was clearly dressed in bright red robes, as bright red and as eye-catching as blood in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the long and slender knife in the hand of the cavalryman, reflecting a dazzling reflection in the light of the slanting sun, but it was so palpitating.
"It's the Han army, the damned Han army is here again!"
"Run, everyone, run, the Han army is here again!"
I don't know which two farmers roared, the farmers who were standing in the field stunned suddenly fried the pot, threw away the farm tools in their hands one by one and turned around and ran, more than ten years ago, Boyang County was looted by the Han army, for that looting, they still remember it vividly, but they didn't expect that these robbers came again.
On the mountain beam in the distance, the war horse with its front hooves in the air finally hit the ground heavily.
Almost at the same time, more cavalry had emerged from behind the horseman, first a dozen, then a dozen, then hundreds, then thousands, tens of thousands...... In less than half an hour, the low mountain beam had been annihilated by an endless, boundless cavalry.
The boundless cavalry Wang Yang first annihilated the mountain beams, and then surged down the hillside, annihilating the entire field, the ridges, pieces of corn that were about to ripen and harvest, were trampled into a mess by endless iron hooves in the blink of an eye, and outside the city of Boyang in the distance, the farmers were running away, but they were silently crying.
After more than ten days of galloping, the Xiao cavalry finally entered the Boyang boundary of Jibei County.
Xiang Zhuang rode a black horse and galloped across the field, looking at the mess under his feet, and the millet that had fallen to the ground and had been trampled to the ground, Xiang Zhuang's eyes couldn't help but pass a trace of gloom, but soon, Xiang Zhuang's expression returned to its original coldness, this is war, war is always cruel!
This expedition, in addition to saving the Zhao State, is also to destroy the war potential of the Qi State.
How can we destroy the war potential of the Qi State? The answer is self-evident, that is, to destroy the agricultural production of Qi as much as possible, forcing the people of Qi to flee to other countries, so that Qi will have no food to collect, and there will be no soldiers to recruit, no food and no soldiers in his hands, even if Han Xin has the unpredictable ability of ghosts and gods, it is difficult to escape defeat. …,##########
Handan, the onslaught of the Qi army has been going on for five whole days.
After five days of fierce fighting, the Qi army suffered a lot of casualties, and lost a lot of equipment such as ladders and siege vehicles, but Handan City looked as indestructible as a rock, but Han Xin did not have the slightest anxiety on his face, everything was under his control, at most half a month, just wait for the dark passage to be dug through, Handan City will be completely broken.
From the very beginning, the assault was just a disguise, and Han Xin's real killer was still a surprise attack.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Han Xin played against Lou Jing while teaching Han Qi: "He'er, the way of using soldiers is ever-changing and endless, but in fact, it is inseparable from its origins. ”
Han Yu said: "The child understands, my father ordered the army to set up a battle to storm Handan City, this is to coincide, and secretly digging the tunnel to attack is to win by surprise, yes or no?" ”
Han Xin smiled and said, "It's okay for you to understand it this way." ”
The voice fell, and Su Weilang suddenly hurried in with Cao Yao, and handed over his hand to report: "King, Linzi is urgent!" ”
Han Xin picked up a white piece and landed on the chessboard, then turned around and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Cao Ji took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Xiang Zhuang, the king of Chu, personally led 100,000 cavalry, and has entered Jibei County, and the minister of state said in the flying newspaper that in three days at most, the Chu army will be in Linzi City!" ”
"It can't be!" Han Xin Huo Ran got up, and the chess pieces in his hand also fell to the ground.
It's no wonder that Han Xin lost his temper, Chu was thousands of miles away from Qi State, even if Xiang Zhuang knew that he was going to be unfavorable to Zhao State, it would take at least two months for him to send troops to help, but now, his army had just launched an attack on Handan, and the army of Chu was about to come to Linzi City, how could this be possible?
Even if it's a cavalry, it's impossible to be so fast, could it be that the Chu army can't fly over?
In fact, this can't be blamed on Han Xin's miscalculation, even though Han Xin is a soldier in Chinese history, but he obviously lacks sufficient knowledge of cavalry tactics, let alone imagine the terrifying marching speed of the Mongolian cavalry in later generations, because at this time, the stirrup has just appeared, and the horseshoe has not yet flowed into the Central Plains from the west.
In the era when there were no horseshoes, cavalry would never be able to attack long distances!
Therefore, Han Xin didn't expect that the cavalry of the Chu army would be able to attack the Qi country so quickly!
Lou Jing got up, stretched out his hand to Cao Ji and said, "What about the Prime Minister's flying report?" Get it. ”
Cao Wei hurriedly submitted the flying report of the Prime Minister Wang Ling, and Lou Jing hurriedly read it and couldn't help but change his face greatly, and said to Han Xin: "King, I'm afraid this is true, the Chu army is indeed a big soldier." ”
