Chapter 85: Rush forward

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came back from the front.

Soon, a cavalry scout rushed out of the night, and the flying horse only pulled the reins to stop the momentum when it reached Mei Kai, and the cavalry on horseback immediately turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee and reported: "General, the Chu army suddenly turned around and came to the east!" ”

"Oh? The Chu army is coming east? Mei Wei couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, the Chu army actually came to the east? Isn't that getting closer and closer to your own army? The Chu army is not afraid of meeting his own army head-on? Or did Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er not take his 20,000 elite soldiers in his eyes at all?

No, Chu Jun's behavior is a little abnormal.

Mei Li immediately turned over and dismounted, and turned back and shouted: "Map! ”

There were already pro-soldiers who dismounted, and spread out the map taken care of by the army on the grass in front of Mei Kai, and there were more than a dozen pine torches, illuminating the radius of dozens of steps as bright as day, Mei Kai leaned over, staring at the map for a moment, and soon, he found something strange from the map.

The general Si Kou said: "General, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Here." Mei Wei patted the map, frowned and said, "Even if the Chu army defeats our army, it will not be able to break out, because less than a hundred miles to the east is Huanshui, which is wide and deep, and there is no way to wade across the river. ”

"That's right, Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er is in a hurry, isn't he going to die by himself?"

"That is, not to mention that my 20,000 army is in front of the Chu army, even if they break through, what can they do?"

"Yes, in fact, there are still gaps in our army's encirclement network, but it's a pity that the Chu army doesn't know the truth of our army, and it lacks timely and accurate intelligence, so it has not been able to break out, but if the Chu army really marches east along the Huanshui, then my six-way army only needs to encircle the left side of the Chu army, so that there will be no gaps again, and the Chu army will definitely die."

The generals echoed one after another, but Mei Kai always felt that something was wrong, how could Xiang Zhuang be so easy to deal with?

What's more, Wei Yu is the military advisor of the Chu army, this old guy used to be the captain of the Great Qin, and he once formulated a grand strategy for Qin Shi Huang to wipe out the Six Kingdoms, he should be quite familiar with the terrain of Zhao Di, so how could the Chu army make such a low-level mistake? No, there must be something weird in it!

Mei Li groaned for a moment, and then ordered the general Si Kou to leave: "Go, find a few villagers!" ”

Si Kou left the order, and after less than a meal, he took an old man and a young villager to Mei Kai, the old man was obviously afraid of Mei Kai, and immediately protected the young child behind him, Mei Kai was patient and asked: "Don't be afraid, the old man, we won't hurt you, but I have something to ask you." ”

The old man said tremblingly: "Although the general asks, the little old man will definitely answer truthfully." ”

Mei Kai nodded and asked, "From here to the east, there will be water in the water, you know the water, right?" ”

"Yes." The old man said busily, "The little old man often goes to Huanshui to sell fish when he is young, and the carp in Huanshui is fresh. ”

"Good." Mei Wei nodded, and said, "Is there a shallow place in Huanshui for the army to wade through?" ”

"Yes." The old man said without hesitation, "Although the water is wide, it is not deep, and it is especially shallow near Jianpu, and the deepest part is only more than five feet, and the army can completely wade through the water. ”

"Sure enough!" Mei Kai smacked the knot and said, "Old man Wei, what a good calculation!" ”

After speaking, Mei Wei waved his hand again and motioned for his soldiers to take the ancestors and grandchildren away, and then shouted: "Si Kouli!" ”

Former military captain Si Kouli suddenly took two steps forward, clasped his hands into fists, and replied proudly: "The last general!" ”

Mei Li said murderously: "Lead the four thousand elite soldiers of the headquarters, immediately rush to Jianpu, and then guard the general there, before the rest of the armies of all walks of life arrive, you must not let a Chu soldier over, otherwise you are the only one who asks!" ”

"No!" Si Kouli suddenly agreed, and immediately ordered four thousand elite soldiers to leave, Mei Kai turned his head and ordered his own troops to lead: "Immediately send flying cavalry to inform Zhou Bo, Wang Su, Fu Kuan, Li Shang, Xiahou Ying and other five generals, that the Chu army is likely to flee east from Jianpu across the Huanshui River, and let them immediately encircle in the direction of Jianpu!" ”

"No!" The pro-soldier team responded to the promise with a bang, and also turned back and assigned the order to ride.

Mei Kai said again: "The rest of the generals, each with their own people, followed the general to the south to intercept the Chu army!" ”

More than a dozen lieutenants and Sima agreed in unison, and they all picked up the men and horses of their headquarters, and followed Mei Kai to the south, preparing to intercept and kill the remnants of the Chu army that was advancing eastward in the starry night.

##########

Under the night sky, 5,000 Chu troops were rushing east along the main road.

All the soldiers were already sweating like pulp and panting like oxen, but Xiang Zhuang was still urging them vigorously.

"Speed up, continue to speed up, you can't slow down, you can't stop, soldiers, sons and daughters of Da Chu, grit your teeth and hold on!"

"It's a man, just hold it up to Lao Tzu!"

"We're not afraid of death, are we still afraid of being tired?"

"Think about eating and drinking, hundreds of miles of instigation will pass!"

"Lao Tzu promised you that when you arrive at Thorn Pu, I will definitely give you fragrant food and spicy drink!"

"Fucking hear clearly, now it's a little bit tiring and hard, and then there will be fewer deaths!"

"Rabbit cubs, give Lao Tzu all the strength of your maidens, speed up, continue to speed up, rush ahead of the Han army and rush through the small river in front, fast, fast, ......"

At this time, the sky was already bright, and in the thin morning light, a small river was quietly crossed in front of me.

The river is not wide or deep, and the army can completely wade through the water, but the problem is that dense layers of Han army banners have appeared on the northern horizon, and in the continuous sound of horns, tens of thousands of Han army armor soldiers have come out from behind the banners, like endless ant colonies, sweeping down along the Qianmo field.

##########

In the Qianmo field to the north, Mei Kai's army of more than 10,000 people is swarming south.

Seeing that the Chu army was about to cross the small river not far ahead, Mei Li couldn't believe his eyes, as early as when he was in Huainan, he had heard that the Chu army could escape more than 300 miles overnight, Mei Li didn't believe it at first, but today, he believed it, the endurance of these remnants of the Chu army to run long distances is really unmatched!

At this moment, Mei Kai was also shocked into a cold sweat, according to the previous distance and direction of the two sides, his more than 10,000 troops only ran more than 20 miles, but the Chu army had at least run more than 50 miles, if his army was too late, then it would fall behind the butt of the Chu army and eat ashes!

"Mei Yin listens to orders!" Mei Li was in a hurry, turned her head and yelled.

Mei Yin, the lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, stepped forward and promised sharply: "The last general is here!" ”

While controlling the horse and galloping, Mei Wei shouted: "Lead five hundred light horsemen, rush up, and entangle the Chu army!" ”

Before Puyang divided the troops, Liu Bang allocated five hundred light horsemen to the six elite soldiers, in addition to serving as flying horses and transmitting messages between each other, another use was to entangle the Chu army at a critical juncture.

Mei Yin suddenly agreed, and soon ordered five hundred light horsemen to leave the brigade and swarmed south.

"Damn!" Xiang Zhuang gritted his teeth, turned his head and shouted, "Gongsun Sui! ”

Gongsun hurriedly stepped forward and replied sharply: "The end will be!" ”

Xiang Zhuang pointed hard at the hundreds of Han light cavalry swept from the north, and roared angrily: "Lead the scout team and block them!" ”

"No!" Gongsun then suddenly agreed, and then turned around and shouted at the more than 100 cavalry scout cavalry accompanying him, "Sons of the scout team, follow Lao Tzu!" ”

"Let's go, fight with them!"

"I'll leave these Han Riders to us!"

"With us here, no one should think about it, don't think about it!"

More than 100 scout cavalry roared and shouted, one by one they controlled their horses and broke away from the brigade, brandished javelins, and followed Gongsun to meet the Han light cavalry swarming from the north.

The javelin was specially given to the scout cavalry by Xiang Zhuang and was specially used to deal with the Han cavalry.

Because the cavalry at this time was not equipped with stirrups, in addition to the military generals with outstanding strength who could rely on the strength of the legs to hold the belly of the horse for horse shooting, it was difficult for ordinary cavalry to hold the bow and release arrows on horseback, but throwing javelins only required one hand, so ordinary cavalry was completely able to do it.

The two armies advanced against each other, and the distance was rapidly approaching.

"Whew...... Ha! Gongsun then carried the horizontal knife upside down, and suddenly raised his head to the sky and howled.

In an instant, more than 100 cavalry who followed up behind him slowly spread out to the two wings, and in less than an instant, more than 100 cavalry were placed in a long snake formation with a width of more than 100 zhang.

On the northern horizon, the Han general Mei Yin waved his hand, and five hundred Han cavalry slowly spread out towards the two wings, and a cavalry queue more than a hundred zhang wide was set up-for-tat, but the Chu army only had one column, but the Han army had five columns in front and behind! Looking at the thin cavalry formation of the Chu army, the corners of Mei Yin's mouth suddenly bloomed with a very hideous killing intention.

Gongsun then rode the lead, urging the horse to gallop, and the earth under his feet receded like a tide.

Suddenly, Gongsun Sui had already raised the horizontal knife in his hand, the cold blade faced the rising sun, and the hair reflected a dazzling cold light, and the next moment, Gongsun Sui pulled the horizontal knife in his hand forward again, and more than 100 Chu horses twisted their bodies at the same time, and tried to raise their right arms backwards, and the cold javelins were ready to fire.

"Kill!" With a thunderous shout, Gongsun Sui's high horizontal knife fell sharply, and more than 100 Chu cavalry threw the javelins in their hands at the same time, and more than 100 sharp javelins cut through the void in an instant, and shot at the Han cavalry on the opposite side with a piercing scream. ####ps# Thanks: avdfgdsf4d, Dragon Dance World Finger Foolishness, Blue Blood Sword 1, Drifting DE Bait, Genius Xiaoyue, Book Friend 091212205308029, Sa Poop Look, HS85242059, ★ Easy Romance ★, Liutq, Love Without Age, In the Red Dust, Chu Han Fights for the Crown, The Story of the Starry Sky, Cruel C, Kendo Ancestor, Transfiguration Anal, Lonely Rainy Night Walk, Crying Little Purple, JJZTCF and other book friends for their generous rewards, thank you very much.
