The night was quiet, and Xiang Zhuang strode to the river beach surrounded by Bailixian, Xiang Tuo and others.

On the river beach, there are rows of corpses wrapped in battle robes, that is the corpses of the dead Chu army, a big pit has been dug in front of these corpses, and it will not be long before these corpses will be buried.

Looking at the fallen soldiers lying quietly on the river beach in front of him, Xiang Zhuang felt heavy.

The scene of the fierce battle during the day still lingers in his mind, Liu Bang obviously already knows his situation, so he strictly ordered the Han army to launch a desperate attack, the Han army is almost fighting for their lives, while suffering a large number of casualties themselves, it has also caused great damage to the Chu army, and the former army camp has become a Shura blood prison that the two sides have repeatedly fought for!

Xiang Tuo walked to Xiang Zhuang's side and said, "King, let the soldiers go to the ground for peace." ”

Xiang Zhuang nodded, and then raised his right hand and waved, and the soldiers of the Chu army who had been waiting next to him rushed forward one after another, lifted the corpses of the robes and put them into the pit, Xiang Zhuang finally bowed deeply to the dense corpses on the river beach, and then turned around and got on the horse, silently returning to the camp of the Chinese army.

A junior colonel rushed over and said something to Xiang Tuo.

Xiang Tuo rode his horse to catch up with Xiang Zhuang, and said with a solemn expression: "King, the casualty figures have come out, in today's battle, our army has killed more than 20,000 people, and more than 50,000 people have been injured. Seeing Xiang Zhuang's expression turn cold in an instant, Xiang Tuo hurriedly said, "However, the Han army suffered more casualties, although it was not counted carefully, but at least 30,000 people died, and I am afraid that there are more wounded!" ”

Xiang Zhuang suddenly turned his horse and set his eyes on the other side of the river beach, where it was. All the corpses of the Han soldiers who died in the battle have been piled up into a hill, but this hill has become a burning volcano, and the dead Chu army has the treatment of being buried in the ground, and the Han army as the enemy does not have this blessing.

Sighing softly, Xiang Zhuang said a little lonely: "It's not okay to fight like this." ”

This kind of life-fighting style of play is indeed not what Xiang Zhuang wants, and if it continues to be consumed like this, it will take ten days at most. Of course, the Han army will be exhausted, but the Chu army is afraid that there will not be a few people left, so that the Chu State will have to recuperate for at least another ten years before it can launch the final battle of unification, but Xiang Zhuang does not want to wait another ten years!

While speaking, the group had returned to the former army camp, at this time the front army camp was brightly lit, and countless chestless and bareback Chu army wrecks were sweating like rain, repairing the wall destroyed by the Han army overnight. The trenches filled by the Han army were re-excavated, and then the deer barrages and horses were re-set in front of the trenches, and a large amount of thistles were sprinkled with them.

Seeing the rejection of the horse, Xiang Zhuang thought of the sailors who were still blocked in Liyu Beach. At the moment, he frowned and asked Xiang Tuo: "Ziyan, can't the navy still come over?" ”

Xiang Tuo shook his head and said a little depressedly: "The Han army dragged hundreds of big trees with branches and leaves into the water, almost blocking the entire river, and the Han army also set up rejection horses in the middle of these big trees, and all the rejection horses were tied to death on the big trees with iron cables. The trolls wanted to drag these obstacles to the shore. But there are Han army rangers on the shore......"

Meng Yan couldn't help but ask for a battle and said: "King, please lead three thousand horsemen to Liyu Beach to rescue." ”

Xiang Zhuang shook his head and said nothing, and asked Meng Zhen to take three thousand cavalry to Liyutan, not only could not help the navy, but I was afraid that it would evolve into another cavalry decisive battle in the end, and the cavalry of the Han army still occupied an absolute advantage, even if the cavalry of the Chu army with the cavalry of the Xiao cavalry as the main force won the decisive battle, I am afraid that it would be a tragic victory. This is not what Xiang Zhuang wants.

As for the dispatch of infantry to Liyu Beach, it is even more needless to mention.

The Chu army dispatched infantry. The Han army will definitely intercept it, and if Xiang Zhuang does not want to attack, the infantry will be surrounded and annihilated by the Han army. had to send troops to rescue again, so there was a lot of trouble, and finally it evolved into a decisive battle in the field, and the reason why Xiang Zhuang insisted on the camp was to avoid a decisive battle in the field, because he really had no certainty of victory. …,

Unless Bishu arrived, Xiang Zhuang would rather continue to consume like this.

Bai Lixian, who had been silent, suddenly said: "King, the minister has a plan to bring the navy back!" ”

After that, Bai Lixian stepped forward again, whispered a few words softly in Xiang Zhuang's ear, Xiang Zhuang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly turned his head and instructed Qu Bucai: "Old Qu, immediately pass the book to Ruoxian Feigeon......

The night was dark, but the woods on the west bank of the carp bank were lit with torches.

In addition to the rangers sent out to patrol, the remaining 900 horsemen have all become carpenters, and are building a rejection horse overnight, the so-called rejection horse is actually to nail two horizontal bars at the intersection of two crosses and the corresponding foot, and then nail a row of long wooden stakes with sharp tops on the two horizontal bars.

At this time, Zhou Guanfu was already surrounded by nailed rejection horses, not to mention hundreds.

When Zhou Guanfu was inspecting these rejected horses one by one, a small colonel hurriedly came to him and reported: "General, the water army of Chu has returned!" ”

"Well, went back?" Zhou Guanfu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately turned over and came to the river, and sure enough, he saw that the warships of the Chu State that were originally hovering in the south of the blocked river had turned around one after another and went to the south.

Back in the woods, Zhou Guanfu shouted again: "Okay, don't nail it, throw these rejected horses into the river, and, cut down hundreds of big trees, and block the upstream and downstream rivers of Liyu Beach for General Ben, hmph, as long as General Ben is here, don't think about passing through here, this road is impassable!" ”

The Han army carried dozens of sheepskin rafts from the forest, and then a group of four sheepskin rafts rowed to the center of the river with a number of horses, and another part of the Han army began to cut down big trees, but these big trees could not be dragged into the water by manpower, and they had to be done with the help of long hemp ropes and horses of the Han army on the other side.

Liu Bang once again had the idea of retreating, and after a day of fierce fighting, the Han army lost nearly 30,000 people, including 3,000 fine cavalry and 300 heavy cavalry, and countless wounded were countless.

At that moment, Liu Bang said to Zhang Liang: "Ofan, although Chu Jun's repeater has been designed and adjusted by you, it is still quite difficult for us to fight, or ...... Or forget it? ”

Zhang Liang was speechless, he thought that if the sharpest crossbow was transferred, the Han army's operation would be much smoother, and he would defeat the 400,000 Chu army in one fell swoop Zhang Liang never thought about it, but at least he should capture one of the five large battalions of the Chu army, and at least he should eat the front army of the Chu army, but in the end, the Han army still failed to do so.

The three hundred heavy cavalry lived up to their expectations and indeed broke through the defense line of the Chu army's heavy armor!

The three thousand elite cavalry did not disappoint, they almost slaughtered the light soldiers and archers of the Chu army in the former army camp, but in the end, the three hundred heavy cavalry and three thousand elite cavalry were still annihilated in the vast sea of the Chu army, Zhang Liang could see that the Chu army did not even use the wolf army or the Xiao cavalry army in the three forbidden armies.

The combat effectiveness of the Chu army is still beyond Zhang Liang's imagination!

At the current point in the battle of Chushui, Zhang Liang already knew very well that if the Han army continued to attack, the best result could only be a defeat for both sides, and it was almost impossible for the Han army to win a big victory! More than 400,000 Chu troops shrank together, and it was indeed too difficult for the Han army to swallow this turtle in one bite......

However, Zhang Liang also knows that the Chu army will never blindly defend it!

This has nothing to do with Xiang Zhuang's personality and whether he likes to take risks, but is determined by the general trend of the world and the offensive and defensive trends of Chu and Han. ..., it is obvious that if the Chu army blindly defends and fights with the Han army to defeat both sides, then the Chu state will need to recuperate for another ten years before it can dominate the world; If you fight a decisive battle with the Han army, the result is nothing more than two, or a big victory or a big defeat, if the Chu army wins a big victory, it can take advantage of the situation to destroy the Han State and unify the world, if it is defeated, it is nothing more than a few more years of rest and recuperation.

In other words, the result of the defeat of the Chu army will not be much worse than the defeat of both sides, but the benefits of a big victory are obvious.

Therefore, as long as Xiang Zhuang is not an idiot, he will definitely choose to fight the Han army before both sides are defeated, and this is the only chance for the Han army to defeat the Chu army!

At that moment, Zhang Liang settled down and said: "King, when it comes to life and death, you must not give up lightly!" ”

"How could the widow ever think of giving up?" Liu Bang spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "But the problem is, Xiang Zhuang's child can't come out of the camp, so we can't do anything about him, right?" If this kind of attack continues, the widow's family will be completely exhausted, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to be the king of Guanzhong at that time. ”

Zhang Liang said: "Please believe the minister, in less than three days, the Chu army will definitely fight!" ”

"Three days?" General Liu Bang was suspicious, "Will the Chu army really fight in two days?" ”

Seeing Zhang Liang nodding, Liu Bang said helplessly: "Okay, then let's try to attack for two more days." ”

"In this way, the minister will retire, and the king will rest early." Zhang Liang waved at Liu Bang, turned around and walked out of the account.

When Chen Ping came out of the account, he suddenly paused, as if he wanted to say something to Liu Bang, but when he met Liu Bang's inquiring eyes, Chen Ping swallowed the words that were spit out of his mouth back into his stomach.

Looking at Chen Ping's distant back, Liu Bang said: "This Chen Ping, do you want to do it?" ”

Hearing Liu Bang's muttering, Chen Ping couldn't help but stop again, wanting to go back and tell Liu Banghe what he had secretly planned, but he couldn't help it after thinking about it, for no other reason, the things he planned were really vicious, and it was almost a big disapproval of the world, not to mention that a humble gentleman like Zhang Liang couldn't stand it, I was afraid that even the king who had always been black-bellied would be furious, right? However, for the sake of the life and death of the Great Han Kingdom, he Chen Ping gave up. (To be continued......)
