Chapter 407: The Battle of Chu and Han

The Battle of Jingxiang broke out suddenly, although Liu Bang and Xiang Zhuang did not want to fight each other rashly at this time, but sometimes the evolution of the situation did not depend on the will of people. N.ET/ * small * say net / no pop-up ad full text TXT download

All in all, the first general battle broke out just like that!

Counting the reasons, we have to start with the desperate strangulation between the scout rangers.

Because the Chu army scouts had the upper hand in the dark battle, the Han general Lu Tai and the hussar general Zhou Guanfu transferred more cavalry to form a scout team of fifty horses.

The next morning, Zhou Guanfu was furious when he learned the news, and immediately led two thousand cavalry out to sweep around, and hunted more than a dozen Chu army scouts in a row.

After a vicious battle for more than half an hour, Meng Keng was finally defeated by Zhou Guanfu and fled.

When Xiang Zhuang knew the news, more than 1,000 remnants of the cavalry had fled to the front of the camp, but the Han cavalry chased very closely, if they did not send troops to rescue, Chu cavalry would definitely not be able to escape, of course Xiang Zhuang would not see death without rescue, at this time, if he did not save him, it would not only make Meng Keng and hundreds of remnants of the cavalry feel cold, but also make the 400,000 soldiers in the camp cold.

And Zhou Guanfu is so big, he only dared to chase in front of the Chu army camp with only 2,000 horsemen, which also gave Xiang Zhuangsheng the opportunity to capture him, no matter how brave and good he is, he can still take 2,000 remnants of cavalry to defeat the 50,000 cavalry of Chu State? ! Xiang Zhuang gave an order, and 50,000 cavalry poured out of the nest and surrounded Zhou Guanfu and 2,000 Han cavalry.

Zhou Guanfu is really fierce, in the face of tens of thousands of Chu cavalry, he is still fearless, with two thousand Han cavalry in the Chu army back and forth conflict, shouting and fighting, where the double iron halberd goes, the Chu army is suddenly like a wave splitting, no one can stop it for a moment, seeing that it is about to break through, Xiang Zhuang immediately ordered to release arrows.

The cavalry of the Chu army suddenly fired ten thousand arrows, and the Han cavalry who followed Zhou Guanfu fell off their horses one after another, but the red dragon horse under Zhou Guanfu's crotch was fast, and it was still invincible.

Xiang Zhuang immediately launched more than 300,000 infantry into battle, and it didn't take long for Liu Bang to rush to the battlefield with more than 300,000 infantry plus 100,000 Hu cavalry, and the first Chu-Han war on the Jingxiang battlefield broke out like this. Keep in mind

Xiang Zhuang stood solemnly on the towering nest car with a handheld guardrail, and the entire battlefield was in full view.

On the left flank of the battlefield were the cavalry of both sides were strangling, and the middle and right flanks were infantry dueling, and at the front of the formation were still heavy infantry, most of them were tall and sturdy, with heavy scale armor on their bodies, shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands, and thousands of people lined up in a row, shouting and cursing and pushing forward.

Although they were hundreds of steps away, Xiang Zhuang could still feel the explosive power exuding from them, if the heavy cavalry was the sharpest spear in the world, then the heavy infantry was the strongest shield in the world, when the two strong shields slammed together, the violent impact force that erupted was enough to burn every man's heart!

The hoplites were followed by halberders, most of whom wore light leather armor, or at most an extra goggle over their chest vests.

The halberd spearmen were divided into two groups, one holding a spear more than three feet long, and stabbed frantically over the heads of the heavy infantry in the front row, they were like poisonous snakes hiding in the shadows, and every time they spat out a letter, one of the opposing heavy infantry would inevitably fall to the ground screaming in a pool of blood. …,

Another group of spearmen held flying spears and threw them into the enemy's formation.

In the deafening shouts of the soldiers on both sides, thousands of flying spears were emptied, and with piercing screams, they fell viciously towards the opponent's formation, and in the crowded formation, there would be endless screams and wails in an instant, even the strongest oars and shields could not stop the stinging of the flying spears.

At the end of the formation are rows of archers, and with the first draw of the bows of the archers on both sides, a large number of arrows will sweep into the air, and then intertwine in the air into an endless rain of arrows, whistling down towards the formation of both sides, and the halberd spearmen who are swinging spears and trying to throw spears will fall one by one......

The whole battlefield is like a big pot of boiling water, boiling to the sky.

Looking at the noisy battlefield, he was like Xiang Zhuang after a hundred battles, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat in his palms.

In this battle, in addition to leaving 10,000 halberd spearmen and 20,000 archers to garrison the camp, the remaining 370,000 cavalry troops have already poured out, but the Han army on the opposite side is even larger, especially the cavalry, the Han cavalry plus the Huyi cavalry also have 200,000 cavalry, which poses a great threat to the Chu army.

Bai Lixian put down the feather fan on his forehead and said indifferently: "King, the Han army has begun to change formations. ”

Xiang Zhuang bowed his head silently, after the initial test of the ** front, the Han army first began to change formations, obviously, the Han army has discovered the weakness of the Chu army, at least they think it is a weakness, this weakness is the Chu cavalry on the left flank, because the black pressure is like an ant colony Hu cavalry is gathering a large number of people on the left flank!

Standing on the nest car and looking down condescendingly, the formation of the entire Han army is like a horizontal sledgehammer, the infantry in the middle and the right wing is the hammer handle and the hammer tail, and the cavalry on the left wing is a huge hammer body, this huge hammer body is still expanding, when it swells to the maximum, it will smash towards the Chu army violently.

The formation of the Chu army is more like a long knife, the infantry in the middle and right wing is the long handle and the tail of the knife, and the cavalry on the left wing is the head of the long knife, the arc-shaped blade is facing the Han army, the two wings are slightly retracted, tough and sharp, but in the face of the huge hammer of the Han cavalry, it is difficult to predict whether it can be blocked.

Xiang Tuo said in a deep voice: "Liu Bang Lao'er wants to break my left wing cavalry first!" ”

After saying this, Xiang Tuo said fiercely: "King, order the cavalry to attack, the minister doesn't believe it, my 50,000 elite cavalry in Dachu is no match for more than 100,000 Hu cavalry!" Xiang Tuo's words are not nonsense, although the number of cavalry of the Chu army is not as good as that of the other party, but the equipment is excellent, and the quality of the improved war horses is by no means comparable to the opponent.

"Nope." Xiang Zhuang raised his right hand lightly and said indifferently, "There's no need for that." ”

"The advantage of the cavalry is that it is fast, and it is what they should do to attack quickly, as for the head-to-head duel, it is better to leave it to the infantry army." After saying this, Xiang Zhuang said again, "Order, the cavalry immediately feints to the left, covering the attack of the baggage troops, and when the baggage troops are completed, the cavalry will detour behind the large formation and flank the right flank of the Han army!" ”

Xiang Zhuang gave an order, and the 50,000 cavalry of the Chu army on the left flank moved in an instant, like a herd of bison galloping and migrating, surging towards the left side of the entire battlefield, and hundreds of thousands of iron hooves trampled wildly on the dry ground, raising billowing smoke and dust, soaring into the sky, and even the vision of the main generals on both sides was disturbed.

Under the cover of smoke and dust, thousands of baggage wagons that were originally hidden under the banner slowly galloped out towards the left flank, followed by tens of thousands of heavy and light soldiers, who were immediately busy, disassembling the carriages, laying down iron nails, connecting the carriages, assembling the baffles, and finally putting a bed crossbow on the roof of the carriage......

The Han army was in the main formation, Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo frowned at the same time. ..., the abnormal behavior of the cavalry of the Chu army was completely beyond their expectations, Liu Bang did not say it, he almost never won the battle, although Zhang Liang and Chen Ping were full of wisdom, but the command of the battle was not their strength, although Zhou Bo was a famous general, but he was not very good at cavalry, only Lu Tai had an insight into the intentions of the cavalry of the Chu army.

Lu Tai waved at Liu Bang and said respectfully: "King, the cavalry of the Chu army is obviously preparing to make a detour behind them, and then flank the left flank of our army (the left flank of Han is the right flank of Chu). ”

Liu Bang nodded, and said, "How to deal with it?" ”

Lu Tai smiled slightly and replied, "Just order the cavalry to bite Chu Cai." ”

There is only one guiding ideology for Lutai's tactics, that is, cavalry against cavalry and infantry against infantry.

Although this tactical guiding ideology is simple, it is extremely ruthless, and it is not easy for the Chu infantry to defeat the Han infantry, but the Han cavalry can defeat the Chu cavalry in a relatively short period of time with its absolute superiority, which is equivalent to the Han cavalry detouring behind the Chu infantry, and the defeat of the Chu army is inevitable.

"Makes sense." Liu Bang nodded happily, then turned his head and shouted, "Order, the whole cavalry will attack, give the widow bite the cavalry of the Chu army, eat them, eat them......"

Zhou Guanfu retracted his gaze from the nest car in the distance, and the corners of his mouth suddenly bloomed with a trace of hideous murderous intent, so he immediately raised the iron halberd in his right hand and slammed forward, and at the same time looked up to the sky and howled: "The whole army obeys the order, chase!" ”

100,000 Han cavalry and 100,000 Hu cavalry chased after the buttocks of the Chu cavalry.

Zhou Guanfu took the lead, galloping westward against the slanting sun, looking back leisurely, only to see the cavalry behind him like a tide, countless horse heads were undulating, endless mane sky fluttering wildly in the wind, hundreds of thousands of iron hooves trampled wildly on the desolate land, and in the sound of tidal iron hooves, there were more rolling smoke and dust soaring up to nine nights.

At this scene, the fire in Zhou Guanfu's heart burned.

"Huh, ah......" Zhou Guanfu raised his head to the sky, and let out a wild roar that was not like a human being, and then immediately hit each other with the double iron halberds in his hands. Xiang Zhuang Xiaoer, prepare to die!
