Chapter 350: The Battle of Ye County
Three days later, on the outskirts of Ye County.
The 50,000 Chu army has set up a strict array, 4,000 cavalry to protect the left and right wings, in front of which are 10,000 heavily armored soldiers of the right battalion of Huben, followed by the flying spearmen, archers and light soldiers from the government soldiers, and finally the baggage soldiers, rows of baggage carts firmly protect the back of the entire large array.
In order to gather troops as much as possible, Gao Chu even handed over the defense of Jiangling to the Jingxiang soldiers who had just been formed, and the Jingxiang soldiers were recruited after the arrival of the Ziche Division, because the people of the four counties of Jingxiang had not yet been completely subdued, so there were not many government soldiers who took the initiative to enlist, and only more than 5,000 people were recruited in the early stage.
These more than 5,000 Jing Xiang soldiers must not be sent to the battlefield, and they are barely able to defend the city.
The center of the entire army array is the Chu army's Chinese army formation, Gao Chu has an indifferent face, is standing on the chariot with a knife, the big war is imminent, but his heart is not very nervous, whether it is dead or alive, whether it is victory or defeat, all in this battle, the Chu army has no way to retreat, today is either Peng Yue dies, or he Gao Chu dies!
The strong wind shook the Chinese army on the chariot and crackled.
Behind Gao Chu, Xu Jiang was looking forward with a canopy in his hand, and suddenly, Xu Jiang seemed to be aware of it and said, "General, they are coming, Liang Jun is coming." ”
Gao Chu nodded silently, his expression still indifferent.
Without warning, a low trumpet sounded in the northern night.
Immediately, a faint black line appeared on the distant horizon, as time passed, this black line was slowly extending towards the two wings, and at the same time became thicker and thicker, at a certain moment, rows of banners suddenly jumped out of it, and then the entire black line turned into a raging crowd, Liang Jun ...... It's here.
##########
In the wilderness, the 100,000 Liang army is like a bison county migrating south, moving southward.
Among the ten thousand troops, Peng Yue held the chariot in his hand, and was standing firmly on his luxurious chariot, looking down from the chariot, as far as the eye could see, there were all the moving heads, all the surging people, and a strange pride rose from the bottom of Peng Yue's heart in an instant, and in an instant, it spread all over the body along the limbs and veins.
It's this feeling, the feeling of the battlefield and the killing, it's been a long time!
At the end of the field of vision on the right, a dilapidated city suddenly appeared, you don't need to think about it, you can know, it must be Ye County, at that moment Peng Yue turned his head and asked Peng Mingdao: "Have you ever investigated in the city?" ”
As a veteran, Peng Yue can be said to have experienced a hundred battles, although he is not as good as Han Xin can use soldiers, nor is he as good as Liu Bang to control people, but he can get out of doubt from the anti-Qin army and become the prince and king of the dominant side, it is not for nothing, at least, he still knows some basic elements on the battlefield.
Peng Ming bowed his hand and said: "Back to the king, there are no ambushes in the city. ”
Peng Yue's gaze crossed the bustling army of the Liang State and fell on the Chu army who was waiting in the distance, and a faint killing intent suddenly bloomed from the corner of Peng Yue's mouth, and he said disdainfully: "Gao junior child, the formation is quite like that, but the rabble is the rabble, what is the use of the formation no matter how good it is?" ”
After saying that, Peng Yue turned around again and shouted, "Where is Liu Kou?!" ”
Liu Kou, who was riding a horse, hurriedly urged the horse forward, bowed his hand on the horse's back, and said proudly: "The last will be." ”
Peng Yue raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger and pointed at the Chu army lined up in front of him, and said: "Lead the elite soldiers of the headquarters to defeat the Chu army within two hours, if you can't do it, you don't have to come back to see the widow." ”
"Whoa!" Liu Kou responded suddenly, and immediately urged Ma Yang to leave.
The horn sounded, and the army of Liang State, which was marching south, was divided into two in an instant, Peng Yueqin led the army to stop, and Liu Kou continued to move south with an army of 30,000 forwards, approaching the Chu army.
When the two armies were less than a stone's throw away, the Liang army finally shot at the ground.
At the beginning of the Chu army's formation flag, there was already a flying horse out of the battle, but it was Tie Dan, a fierce general under the Gao Chu account. ..., Tie Dan Pegasus came out of the battle, and did not stop until the Liang army was in front of the formation, and then hit each other fiercely with the double iron halberds in his hands, and shouted: "Jiangdong Tie Dan is here, who dares to step forward and fight with a certain one?!" ”
Before the words fell, a young general behind Liu Kou couldn't hold it back, and at that moment Pegasus came out of the battle and shouted: "Pifu Hugh is going to be rampant, Dangjun Liu Chong is here!" "Liu Chong is Liu Kou's nephew, he has followed Liu Kou since he was a child, and he knows the true biography of Liu Kou with his martial arts, and he has the courage of ten thousand people.
As he spoke, the two horses had already intersected, and Tie Dan's halberd and Liu Chong had a fancy-free head-on collision.
Hearing the sound of a bang, Tie Dan only felt that a wild and unparalleled force rolled back like a tide, and the tiger's mouth in both hands was suddenly shocked and cracked, blood splattered, and a pair of iron halberds almost flew out of their hands! Tie Dan was suddenly horrified in his heart, this guy is so strong at such a young age? !
At that moment, Tie Dan didn't dare to fight anymore, so he turned his horse's head and went straight to the main formation.
Liu Chong was unwilling to give up, and immediately urged the horse to raise a gun to chase Tie Dan.
Tie Dan's horse is fast, Liu Chong can't catch up with him, he is in a hurry to saddle up the spear, and then pull the bow and arrow to shoot Tie Dan, before the battle Chu Jun reminded loudly, Tie Dan dodged left and right, barely dodged two arrows, but was shot by Liu Chong's third arrow, and fell from the horse with a scream.
Liu Chong was overjoyed, and now he returned the bow to the sheath, and with the spear in his hand, he came to kill Tie Dan.
Seeing that Tie Dan was about to die under Liu Chong's spear, a horse with a fiery red body had galloped out of the Chu army's array, and before the horse arrived, a little cold star had already rushed straight to Liu Chong's door with a piercing scream.
"Liu Chong Xiao'er, don't want to hurt my generals, the Marquis of Dachufan Township is here!" Only this moment of delay, the BMW with a fiery fur has already arrived in front of Tie Dan at a gallop, a member of the Chu General on horseback, the short beard on his lips is rolled back like a steel needle, his eyes are blazing, if there are two cold flames burning in it, it makes people's hearts palpitate.
"You're the junior high school?!" Liu Chong was not surprised, but was overjoyed, and stabbed with a spear.
"Vertical looking for death!" Gao Chu was furious, dancing the halberd to fight Liu Chong, the two of them fought in front of the battle like a marquee, less than twenty rounds, Liu Chong gradually became timid, anyway, Liu Chong was only seventeen years old, although his strength was outstanding, but his body had not yet fully grown, and his fighting experience was far less than Gao Chu.
When Gao Chu was about to sell a flaw to kill Liu Chong, another horse flew out of the Liang army's array.
"Gao Chu, don't hurt my nephew!" But Liu Kou was worried that his nephew would lose, and Pegasus came to help.
Gao Chu shook his spirits, opened and closed the halberd in his hand, and fought with Liu Kou and Liu Chong's uncle and nephew.
After more than 50 rounds of fighting, Gao Chu gradually became impatient, and when he was about to deceive and shoot Liu Kou, there was a sound of gold in the formation, and Gao Chu struggled to force Liu Chong back with a halberd, and then turned back and went straight to the main formation.
Liu Chong was unwilling, and wanted to chase after him again, but was strangled by Liu Kou.
"Uncle?!" Liu Chong stretched out his hand and pointed at Gao Chu, and said unwillingly, "Why don't you let your nephew kill him?" ”
"Chong'er, you can't kill him." Liu Kou shook his head and said, "Uncle Wei can't kill him either, if you want to kill him, you have to destroy his army first!" With that, Liu Kou raised his halberd and led it forward, and the 30,000 Liang troops who were waiting behind him suddenly screamed like wolves that had discovered their prey.

Shangyong in Hanzhong County, a small county town has gathered 100,000 troops.
In the hall of the county government, almost all the famous ministers and generals of the Han Kingdom gathered, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Bai Mo, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo are all there, and Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, is also there.
In this battle, Liu Bang prepared 200,000 elite soldiers, of which 100,000 were assembled in Shangyong, and the other 100,000 were assembled in the Wuguan area. ..., unlike the state of Chu, the Han army did not have the embarrassment of lack of food.
The Han State sits on the three granaries of Guanzhong, Bashu and Sanchuan, and has accumulated for ten years, and the grain accumulated in Xianyang Taicang is more than 3 million stones, and the Jiuyuan War sent 600,000 troops, but it only consumed more than 1 million stones, in other words, a big war of this scale like the Jiuyuan War, the Great Han State can fight at least two more times!
What is Strength? That's strength!
In this regard, the state of Chu should also be dwarfed, although the land in Jiangdong is fertile, but its degree of reclamation can not be compared with Guanzhong, Bashu and Sanchuan after all, not only the total area of cultivated land is much less, but the yield per mu is incomparable, so after ten years of accumulation, the state of Chu only saved a million stone of grain, which is still the result of cunning and plundering of various countries.
It is precisely because of this that Xiang Zhuang will take the risk of an expedition to Bashu, because only by seizing the big granary of Bashu can the state of Chu get rid of the shackles of food shortage! Otherwise, no matter how developed the commerce of Chu is, no matter how adequate the military salary is, and how well-equipped the Chu army is, if there is not enough military rations, it will also be blind.
The Han army had sufficient food, and the reason why it only sent 200,000 troops was because it did not want to over-consume the national strength.
In order to recapture Jiuyuan, the Han State has recruited 500,000 guards to fight hard for several months, and if the Guanzhong guards are now recruited again for continuous battles, the people of Guanzhong will definitely complain.
What's more, the battle of Jingxiang, there is no need to pour the country's troops to deal with it, according to Zhang Liang's proposal, in the early stage of the Jingxiang War, the Han army will not move, until Chu and Liang divide the victory, the Han army will wait for the opportunity to move, at that time, whether the Liang army wins or the Chu army wins, both sides are exhausted, and the Han army can easily profit without too many troops.
If Peng Yue's tiger wins, the Han army will take the opportunity to sweep Jingxiang, first cut off the connection between Bashu and Jiangdong, and then find a way to recapture the big granary of Bashu.
In the past few days, Liu Bang and the others have been paying attention to Jingxiang's battle situation, and the meteor scouts have also been flying to Shangyong to report the latest situation of Jingxiang to Shangyong day and night.
