Chapter 32: Unstoppable
Looking at the starry campfire, Xiang Zhuang's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of a wonderful idea!
Almost at the same time, Wei Yi also turned his head to look at Xiang Zhuang, the old man who was almost seventy years old, but his eyes were still so sharp, obviously, this old man also thought of something.
Xiang Zhuang smiled and said, "The military advisor has a way to deal with it?" ”
Wei Yi smiled slightly, and asked instead of answering: "The general also seems to have a good plan?" ”
Xiang Zhuang suddenly remembered the allusion between Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, and his heart moved at the moment, and said: "Military advisor, you and I will each write the strategy in our chests on the wooden tablet, and then look at it, how about it?" ”
Wei Yi smiled and nodded: "Just follow the general, hehe." ”
When Xiang Zhuang ordered Gao Chu to find two pieces of wooden tablets, the two of them took out short knives and carved them on the wooden tablets, and then raised them side by side to the torch to take a look, only to see that the two pieces of wooden tablets were engraved with the same two words - beacon fire, Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yi stroked their palms at the same time and laughed, this situation, the two couldn't help but feel sorry for each other.

The next day, the Han army camped.
Liu Bang beat the drum and gathered the generals, and summoned Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu, Zhang Er, Han Wang Han Xin, Wu Rui and other princes, as well as Liu Jia, Lu Juan, Li Shang, Jin She, Fu Kuan, Chen Ping, Zhang Liang, Xiahou Ying, Li Zuoche, Shusun Tong and other military generals, and Zhang Liang assigned military affairs to the princes and generals of each battalion.
A screen has been placed in the center of the tent, and a map is hung on the screen.
This map was a map that Zhang Liang spent all night in, consulting many generals and soldiers who were familiar with the nearby terrain, and arranged for a disciple who was good at painting to draw a map of the mountains, rivers, rivers and rivers of Dabie Mountain overnight.
Waiting for everyone to surround him, Zhang Liangcai pointed to the map and said: "Everyone, please see, this is Dabie Mountain, the remnants of Xiang Chu rely on the Dabie Mountain of geographical advantage, and now, the remnants of Xiang Chu have issued a war letter, and they want to fight a decisive battle with our king in the mountains!" My king is compassionate and does not want the people of the world to be poisoned by war for a long time, so he decides to fight! ”
"The king is benevolent!" The princes from all walks of life have surrendered their hands.
Liu Bang waved his hand to stop the commotion, and motioned for Zhang Liang to continue.
Zhang Liang nodded, and said: "After you each return to the camp, you should immediately assign soldiers, with 3,000 people as a battalion, each set up a general school, and enter the mountain one by one. ”
Why three thousand, and not more or less, is also well thought out.
The remnants of the Chu army are about 5,000 people, and if the elite soldiers from all walks of life want to have stronger mobility than the Chu army, the strength must be less than the Chu army, but if the troops are too small, the Chu army only needs one assault to defeat it, then it will not work, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping and Liu Bang discussed it again and again, and finally set the strength of the elite soldiers from all walks of life at 3,000!
Liu Bang specially advised: "After entering the mountain, each battalion will look for its own mountain pass to go down to the village, and remember, the distance between the battalions should not be too far apart, at most not more than fifteen miles!" Once the enemy is found, the trumpet will be sounded immediately to warn, if the enemy army escapes, the tail will be chased, and if the enemy army turns back to attack, then stick to the spot and wait for help! ”
Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu, Zhang Er, Han Xin, the king of Han and other princes agreed one after another, and immediately received the order.
In less than half an hour, the sound of horns sounded in the barracks of the various armies, and immediately a group of armored soldiers, light soldiers, and dead soldiers drove out of the barracks one by one, and after a little assembly, they drove along the mountain path into the vast mountain.

The night was like ink, and the five thousand Chu troops were quietly lurking in the valley.
It is already far away from the Chu army village in the deep mountains, to say the least, more than two hundred miles.
The reason why the Chu army chose the battlefield here was naturally to ensure the safety of Dazhai.
It was cold in the mountains, and most of the soldiers of the Chu army were only wearing single clothes, although they were all shivering with cold and their teeth chattering, no one dared to make a fire to keep warm!
Halfway up the mountain, Xiang Zhuang was taking a small number of personal soldiers to climb high and overlook.
Standing on the mountain beam and looking back at the valley, he only saw that it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything at all, but Xiang Zhuang knew that his five thousand troops were quietly hiding in it, like a fierce tiger entrenched in the dark night, just waiting for the prey to appear, it would suddenly jump out of the endless darkness, and kill with one blow!
Looking beyond the valley, you can faintly see the campfires.
It was the campfire of the coalition army, a coalition army of about 3,000 people, camped by the small river outside the valley, this coalition army would never have thought that the remnants of the Chu army they were searching for were hidden in the valley less than five miles away from them, and the chest-deep artemisia grass completely covered the traces of the remnants of the Chu army, and if they did not walk closely, they would not be found at all.
Farther away, there were more campfires, but it was another coalition army.
After a while, the corners of Xiang Zhuang's mouth bloomed with a trace of cold murderous intent, and he looked back behind him and said, "Go, go down the mountain!" ”
##########
Outside the valley, 3,000 elite soldiers led by the Han general Chun Yuhu camped by the river.
Chun Yuhu has followed Liu Bang to the east and west since Pei County, and has been promoted from a small soldier to a general all the way, and now he is also a well-known general in the Han army camp.
Speaking of which, Chun Yuhu was still very cautious, although the army only stayed here for one night, but he still personally supervised his subordinates to fence the fence, dig trenches, and set up deer barricades, of course, due to the rush of time, these facilities are very simple, but no matter how rudimentary, they can always play some defensive role.
The night was deep, the cold was getting heavier, Chun Yuhu drank two wines in the big tent, after all, he couldn't rest assured, so he put on his clothes and got up, and took his own soldiers out to patrol the camp, at this time, most of the soldiers of the various departments had fallen asleep, only on the simple watchtower added behind the gate, there were more than a dozen sentries on the vigil, and in the distance, there were two patrols approaching this side.
Everything was so calm and peaceful, there was nothing unusual at all.
Seeing that the cold was getting heavier, the captain of the pro-soldier school persuaded: "General, go back......
Chun Yuhu Huo Ran raised his hand, and the voice of the pro-soldier captain suddenly stopped.
Just now, Chun Yuhu vaguely seemed to hear a sound outside the gate, but now listen carefully, but there is no movement, but with years of experience accumulated on the battlefield, Chun Yuhu is sure that there must be someone outside the gate, there must be a situation, and suddenly, Chun Yuhu's right hand has been on the hilt of the sword.
The pro-soldier captain and the accompanying pro-soldier suddenly changed their faces slightly, and they also clenched the hilt of their swords one after another.
In the suffocating silence, Chun Yuhu turned his head and gestured to the pro-soldier captain, and the pro-soldier lieutenant understood, and then turned back to the two pro-soldiers who accompanied him and made a gesture, and the two pro-soldiers immediately raised the short bull's horn hanging on their waists.
"Thieves dare!" Chun Yuhu shouted, the long sword in his hand had already been slashed out horizontally, only to hear two dings, two cold stars had fallen to the ground, when he looked at it urgently, it was two wild goose arrows, the sharp arrows had been deeply rooted in the soil, and the tail feathers were still trembling gently.
The next moment, the short sound of the bull's horn finally burst into the sky.
Almost at the same time as the horn sounded, hundreds of pine torches suddenly lit up outside the Han army camp, and by the light of the fire, Chun Yuhu and the soldiers behind him were surprised to find that countless Chu troops were like black and oppressive ant colonies, and they were swarming towards the Han army camp.
This arrow, the momentum is completely different from the two arrows just now, just the scream of the arrow breaking through the air, it makes people feel that its power must be extraordinary, Chun Yu in the tiger's heart, suddenly raised the sword to block with all his might, only to hear a muffled sound of "Qiang", a thumb-thick wolf tooth arrow has been obliquely inserted into the ground, but not as deep as the feather!
And Chun Yuhu felt that his arms were sore, and the power of an arrow was so powerful!
Outside the gate, Chu Jiang once again pulled his bow and arrows, but Chun Yuhu had already hidden behind the pro-soldiers, and where the bowstring sounded, another wolf's tooth heavy arrow shot like lightning, and the pro-soldier captain who was in the front didn't have time to raise his sword, and the sharp three-edged arrow cluster had already penetrated his strong body, and the front and back two heavy iron armors couldn't stop it!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Chun Yuhu was frightened and angry, looking up to the sky and roaring.
The poignant and short sound of the horn was even more continuous, and the Han soldiers who were sleeping soundly woke up one after another, and began to dress and wear armor in a hurry, and the dead soldiers who did not need to wear armor quickly rushed out of the camp tent and rushed to the fence in a chaotic manner, preparing to defend the fence, but at this time, it was obviously too late.
Because the Chu army had already rushed to the front of the Han army camp.
With a loud roar, more than a dozen Chu army warriors who rushed to the front threw out the flying claws in their hands at the same time, and as soon as the sharp iron claws hooked the fence, hundreds of Chu army warriors began to pull the claw rope at the same time, how could the hastily enclosed fence withstand the hard pull of hundreds of people? It was pulled into a big piece at once!
The fallen fence crushed the deer barricade again, and the trench became a smooth road in an instant!
"Kill!" Xiang Zhuang casually threw a hard bow, pulled out a horizontal knife again, and rushed into the Han army camp first.
Behind Xiang Zhuang, Gao Chu and Jing Qian each led a hundred personal soldiers, all of them holding air-conditioned ring-headed knives, like a group of bloodthirsty wolves, howling over the collapsed fence.
A Han general relied on his own martial arts and raised his sword to Xiangzhuang.
"Die!" Xiang Zhuang shouted violently, and the horizontal knife slashed down diagonally.
Han Jiang didn't have time to dodge at all, he could only subconsciously raise his sword to block, only to hear a violent sound of "Qiang", the double-edged sword in Han Jiang's hand was suddenly broken into two, but the cutting momentum of the horizontal knife was not weakened at all, and the cold light flashed, and the sharp blade cut from Han Jiang's left shoulder, and cut out from the right rib, and actually cut Han Jiang obliquely into two!
Xiang Zhuang slashed the Han general with a knife, never stopped at his feet, and hit his shoulder, and another Han army commander in front of him suddenly screamed and flew backwards and flew up, this shoulder collision was so powerful that the Han army commander was smashed to the sternum, the spine was completely broken, and before he could land, the Han army commander was already angry.
Immediately, two more Han soldiers were killed and faced Xiang Zhuang fearlessly.
Xiang Zhuang roared in the sky, his eyes were cracked, his beard was open, and then he was slashed horizontally, and the two dead soldiers of the Han army were cut into four pieces in an instant, and before the corpse landed, Xiang Zhuang had already raised his knife again and entered the formation, Chun Yuhu hid behind his own soldiers and watched coldly, and couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring, Xiang Zhuang Xiaoer, was as brave as this!
Looking at the Chu army behind Xiang Zhuang, it was also unstoppable, hundreds of Chu soldiers were stubborn, like a group of fierce tigers rushing into the flock, and the Han army's armored soldiers and dead soldiers flocked up, and they couldn't stop it for a moment.
