Ding Gu pressed the horizontal knife in his hand and was pacing back and forth on the head of the city. [Literature]

From time to time, Ding Gu would stop and glance outside the city, but it was quiet.

As a general with 8,000 troops, Ding Gu originally did not have to set foot on the city to keep vigil in person like a tun chief, but as a heavy general, Ding Gu felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, after all, the millions of stone grain and grass hoarded in Ruoxian County were related to the safety of the more than 400,000 Chu troops in front, and Ding Gu would never dare to slack off.

The dark curtain before dawn finally dispersed, and the east was about to dawn, and a team leader stepped forward and said to Ding Gu: "General, it's almost dawn, you go and rest, it's okay to have a villain here." ”

Ding Gu nodded, and was about to turn around and walk down the city, when a sharp-eyed sentry next to him suddenly pointed ahead and shouted: "General, look, naval fleet?" ”

"Huh?" Ding Gu Huoran turned around, and when he looked at it urgently, he saw that a fleet of naval ships had rushed out of the thin morning light, although it was still several miles away, he could faintly see that the oars sticking out from both sides of the warship were rowing rapidly, and the warships seemed to be flying on the water.

Ding Gu's brows tightened in an instant, so dignified, why did the navy run to Ruoxian?

In less than half an hour, the naval fleet quickly approached Ruoxian, and there was a large area of black pressure, not to mention six or seven hundred warships, Ding Gu's heart sank, the naval army came to help on such a large scale, could it be that the Han army came to attack the city? But looking up at the endless wilderness to the west, there is not even the influence of half of the Han army.

Soon, several small sailor boats anchored at the gate of the city along the moat, and a navy general jumped down from the bow of the boat, and Ding Gu recognized it at a glance as Jiang Ji, the adjutant general of the navy general Zhong Liwu. At that moment, Ding Gu ordered the soldiers to open the city gate, and then personally greeted the city.

At the gate of the city, the two saluted, and Jiang Ji asked bluntly: "General Ding Gu, the Han army has retreated?" ”

"Han Jun?" Ding Gu frowned, and asked with some puzzlement, "Didn't the Han army come to attack the city last night?" ”

"No, it won't." Jiang Ji was stunned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "At least 50,000 Han cavalry left the camp last night. If you don't come to Ruoxian, where will you go? ”

"This ......" Ding Gu's heart sank suddenly when he heard this.

"There must be deception in it!" Jiang Ji said, "Tell the king as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm." Ding Gu nodded, turned his head and shouted, "Ding Ji, go get a carrier pigeon!" ”

The Chu army has been stationed in the Chushui River Bay for more than two months, during which time Qu Bucai raised a few litters of young pigeons, and after the young pigeons were raised, they were transferred to Ruoxian and Jiangling, so that Ruoxian and Jiangling were attacked by sneak attack. [Literature] was able to ask Xiang Zhuang for help in time, which was originally just prepared, and I didn't think it would really come in handy.

The sky was bright, and the Han army once again set up a position outside the river bay in the shape of "several".

Today, though. The Han army did not attack as soon as it came up, but only set up a position outside the river bend, and did not even bombard the catapults, as if waiting for something.

On the commanding nest car in the center of the Chu army camp, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State were gathering to watch the battle.

Seeing that the Han army was not moving, Huan Chu said puzzledly: "It's strange." Why didn't the Han army attack? ”

Xiang Tuo sighed. said coldly: "Liu Bang Lao'er has no cavalry now, how can he attack?" ”

Last night, the scouts reported that at least 50,000 Han cavalry had gone south to Ruoxian, and now it seems that 70,000 or 80,000 Han cavalry should have been dispatched, because there were only tens of thousands of Hu cavalry left on the opposite side, and the Han cavalry wearing bright red robes and black and brown leather armor had disappeared.

Xiang Tuo's words were unintentional, but Xiang Zhuang and Baili Xian frowned for a moment. …,

Truly. Liu Bang has no cavalry, what else to attack today? To know. But not only the Han army had cavalry, but the Chu army also had extremely sharp cavalry. If the Chu army dispatches cavalry when the battle situation is urgent, what will Liu Bang Laoer use to counteract? Could it be that just the tens of thousands of Hu Qi who have been killed by the crossbow are terrified?

Wu Shi also saw that something was wrong, and said, "King, the situation is not right. ”

As soon as the words fell, a faint thunderous sound suddenly sounded without warning, and when the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State looked around urgently, they did not notice anything.

After a while, Xiang Zhi suddenly pointed to the southeast and shouted: "Father, look, the Han cavalry!" ”

Xiang Zhuang hurriedly turned his head and looked in the direction of Xiang Zhi's finger, and sure enough, he saw that a faint black line had suddenly appeared on the horizon in the southeast direction, and only a moment later, endless Han cavalry rushed out of that black line, and the bright red robe and black and brown leather armor were the Han cavalry that had already gone south!

The feather fan that was gently shaking in Bai Lixian's hand suddenly slammed down, and he said in a low voice: "King, you've been tricked!" ”

"Turn the tiger away from the mountain!" Xiang Zhuang snorted and said coldly, "The plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" ”

Now it seems that the Han cavalry's attack on Ruoxian is just a feint, their purpose is just to transfer Jiang Ji's army, of course, if Jiang Ji's army does not move, then the Han cavalry will change the feint attack to a real attack and rob Ruoxian, this is Yangmou, this is the damn Yangmou, even if you tell you clearly, you can only be led by the nose!

Xiang Zhuang's voice fell, Qu Bucai had already climbed into the nest car, and reported to Xiang Zhuang: "Wang, if the county is in an emergency, and the Han army has not been found to ride ......" Qu Bucai's voice only stopped abruptly halfway through, because he found that there was no need to say it, because the Han cavalry had already returned here, how could they still be in Ruoxian?

"Quick!" Xiang Zhuang immediately made a decision and instructed Qu Bucai to say, "Immediately send a message to Ruoxian Feigeon, and let Jiang Ji lead the army to return to the Hewan camp quickly, go quickly!" ”

"Whoa!" Qu Bucai suddenly agreed to the promise and took the order.

Qu Bucai took the order, but Xiang Zhuang and Bailixian's hearts began to sink indefinitely, and the Han army took a feint attack on Ruoxian as a conspiracy to transfer Jiang Ji's army from the Hewan camp, I am afraid that things will not be so simple, with Zhang Liangzhizhi and Chen Ping's strategy, there will definitely be a mystery in the middle, and if Jiang Ji's army wants to come back, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

Lu Tai climbed up the ladder to the nest car, and said to Liu Bang: "See the king." ”

Liu Bang waved his hand and said happily: "Generally, this night has worked hard for you, hehe." ”

Lu Tai hurriedly said: "It is the duty of the minister to serve the Han and share the worries of the king, and it is the blessing of the minister." ”

Liu Bang smiled slightly, then turned his head to Zhang Liang and said: "Zifang, the widow is sure, Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er will definitely be in a hurry, but at this time, it is useless for him to be in a hurry, since his navy has left the Hewan camp, then don't think about coming back, hehehe, the widow wants to see, what do you do to stop my cavalry without the navy?" ”

After saying this, Liu Bang turned his head to Lu Tai and said, "You can start attacking." ”

"Whoa!" Lu Tai responded suddenly, took two steps forward and stood on Liu Bang's left, then raised his right hand and pressed it gently, and Liu Bi's hoarse roar sounded behind him, "The general has an order, attack ......"

It can be said that it is the trade route that runs through the north and south after the Grand Canal after the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it can be seen that its navigation conditions are still quite good, at least more than 600 large and small warships of Jiang Ji's navy can pass freely, but it is easy to go downstream, and it is not easy to go upstream.

In the bilge of each warship, the dirty and smelly "pulp slaves" who were locked in positions by iron chains and shackles were sweating like rain, desperately rowing the boat pulp, and if they slacked off, the Chu soldiers patrolling back and forth would split their heads and cover their faces with a whip, although the pulp slaves gritted their teeth with hatred, they could only endure it silently. ..., these pulp slaves were all barbarians who had been captured by the Chu army, and their only job was to repeatedly shake the paddle in the filthy and smelly bilge until they were tired or sick, and once they were tired or sick, they were able to leave this hellish bilge and be thrown into the great river to feed the fish.

Suddenly, a cold shout came from the grille window on the deck: "Attack speed!" ”

The two Chu soldiers who were patrolling back and forth in the bilge suddenly showed a fierce light, and the leather whip in their hands was even more slashed and slashed into the pulp slaves on the left and right sides, while roaring fiercely: "Attack speed, attack speed!" Are you bed bugs, deaf? Attack speed! Believe it or not, Lao Tzu threw you into the water to feed the fish, and the attack speed was ......"

Under the double threat of death and the whip, the pulp slaves increased their pace, and through the round hole of the oar, they could clearly see that the entire warship was going up the water at great speed...... However, the sailor colonel on the deck was still not satisfied, and after a while, another command came: "Sprint speed!" ”

The Chu soldiers in the bilge were whipped again, and then scolded again: "Sprint speed, you damn dirty bugs, if you don't want Lao Tzu to peel off your skin, just paddle hard for Lao Tzu, and give Lao Tzu all the strength to feed, row, sprint at a ...... speed."

Jiang Ji pressed his knife to stand on the bow of the ship, and the warship under his feet was chopping the waves and going up against the current.

A junior colonel of the Navy hurriedly came to Jiang Ji's side, shook it, and said in a low voice: "General, the sprint speed can't be maintained for too long, and the pulp slave will be exhausted!" ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Jiang Ji snorted and said coldly, "You just need to come up with the fastest speed, as for the pulp slave, how many dead generals will make up for you, hum!" ”

The words fell, but the warship under his feet suddenly made a "click" sound, and the momentum of the forward rush was also abrupt.

Jiang Ji, who was standing at the bow of the boat, suddenly stumbled and almost fell into the water, but fortunately he reacted very quickly, and immediately sank under his feet, and steadied his body, and when he looked down again, he saw that the warship going against the current had stopped suddenly, and it seemed that it had touched a reef, but there seemed to be no reef here?!
