The night is dark, and the stars and moon are dim.

The 5,000 Chu army was marching slowly in the wilderness, although they were experienced in a hundred battles and had excellent physical fitness, but after two consecutive days and two nights of marching, they were now unbearable, all of them were sweating like pulp, panting like oxen, and their legs were like being filled with lead, and they couldn't walk.

Xiang Zhuang was urging the horse to march, and Gongsun suddenly hit the horse and followed, shouting in a sad voice: "General, it's not good, the military master fell off the horse and passed out!" ”

"Huh?!" Xiang Zhuang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly urged the horse to rush back to the Chinese army.

When Xiang Zhuang arrived, Wu Shi had already helped Wei Yu up, Wei Yue was feeding him water, this little lady was a little unexpected by Xiang Zhuang, after such a long and rapid march, she had not fallen yet, of course, this was also because she had a horse to ride, if she really let her march on foot with the soldiers of the Chu army, I was afraid that she would have been tired and lay down.

After drinking a few sips of water, Wei Yu finally woke up and said to Xiang Zhuang: "General, the old decay has caused you a burden. ”

"The military advisor is serious." Xiang Zhuang shook his head, and immediately ordered to stop advancing, and the whole army rested.

Wu Shi helped Wei Yu and asked with a sad face, "Military Master, where is this?" ”

Wei Yi shook his head weakly, and said with a wry smile: "In the past two days, I have been running back and forth, and I can't tell where I am, but most of them are still going around in circles in Handan County." ”

As soon as Xiang Zhuang turned around, he happened to see a bunch of beacon fires burning on the dock fort not far away, obviously, Zhao Jun's eyeline guarding the dock fort had already noticed the Chu army under the night sky, so he lit the beacon fire to warn, and then Xiang Zhuang instructed Gongsun Sui: "Go, take two hundred people to pull out the dock fort, and tie a few more alive!" ”

"No!" Gongsun then agreed and took the order.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Gongsun then led people to pull out the dock fort and returned with another prisoner of war.

As soon as I asked, I found out that the Chu army had already entered Ye County, and the generals looked at each other when they landed, why did they come to Ye County?

Wei Yi sighed and said to Xiang Zhuang: "General, I don't know if you have noticed, in the past two days, we have encountered at least six Han troops, but each Han army is not in a hurry to fight, and there is no intention of chasing, just send a small group of cavalry to bite our tracks, only when we are ready to stop and rest, the Han army will suddenly appear!" ”

"Well, I've felt the same way." Xiang Zhuang said in a deep voice, "Liu Bang Lao'er wants to exhaust us to death!" ”

Wei Yu shook his head and sighed: "General, we are likely to have fallen into the net of the Han army, if we can't break through in time, then we can only be trapped in the net in the end!" ”

As soon as Wei Yu's voice fell, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves under the night sky ahead, and then a horse of scout cavalry galloped over, and from a long distance, the scout cavalry howled bitterly: "General, the northeast direction found a brigade of Han troops, at least 10,000 people!" It's less than thirty miles away from our army right now......"

"Damn it!" Xiang Zhuang gritted his teeth and said, "Here we go again!" ”

"Oh my God, don't let people live?" Wu Shi looked up to the sky and lamented.

It's been two days and two nights, every time it's like this, the Chu army ran half dead and just wanted to stop and rest, the Han army would immediately kill from the corner where it didn't know, and the Chu army continued to run, and the Han army would not be in a hurry to chase, but when the Chu army ran away and stopped, and wanted to rest again, the other Han army would immediately kill again......

Puyang, the county guard.

Liu Bang is drinking with Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.

In the sound of hurried footsteps, the subordinate Sui He had already walked into the hall of the county guard mansion with a letter of letters, and waved at Liu Bang, and said urgently: "King, Zhao Di is eight hundred miles urgent!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Bang's spirits perked up when he heard this, "Trap the Chu army!" ”

At that moment, Chen Ping stood up, took the book from Sui He's hand and opened it indirectly.

Liu Bang was naturally literate, but he was too lazy to read the book, and asked at the moment: "Chen Ping, what does the war report say?" ”

After Chen Ping finished reading the book, his eyes were overjoyed, and he bowed his hand to Liu Bang and said: "Congratulations to the king, Brother Zifang's ten-sided net has worked, General Zhou Bo said in the battle report that the Chu army has fallen into a heavy siege, and has not rested for a day and night, at most in three days, the Chu army will be trapped and tired, and it will definitely be annihilated in one fell swoop!" ”

"Hahaha, good!" Liu Bang was overjoyed, and immediately raised his eyes to Zhang Liang and said, "The ovary, and drink this full!" ”

While Liu Bang was drinking and having fun, Chu Jun was facing a threat of life and death.

Xiang Zhuang gritted his teeth and shouted, "Blow the trumpet, the whole army will be pulled out!" ”

Suddenly, a long horn sounded under the night sky, and in the continuous sound of the horn, the soldiers of the Chu army who had just sat down and rested for less than half an hour cheered up and got up again, and the five thousand elites of Xiang Zhuang were replaced by other armies, even if it was the three thousand tiger and wolf soldiers of Liu Kou, the general of the Liang army, the willpower did not have such perseverance!

Seeing that Wei Yi's face was gray, Xiang Zhuang asked his soldiers to make a stretcher and carry him on the march.

Wei Yi still wanted to struggle to get on the horse, but Gongsun couldn't help but press him on the stretcher, Wei Yu sighed, raised his head to Xiang Zhuang on horseback and said: "General, it can't go on like this!" ”

Wu Shi also said: "If we continue like this, we will have to die of exhaustion." ”

"Hmm." Xiang Zhuang nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, "I know! ”

Wei Yu pondered for a moment, and then said to Xiang Zhuang: "General, from now on, we can't avoid the Han army anymore!" ”

After saying this, Wei Yu said again: "The Han army has the guidance of Zhao Difenghuo, and there are flying horses to transmit news, every move of our army is under their control, no matter which direction our army turns, they can know in time, so it is impossible for us to penetrate through the gap between the Han armies from all walks of life." ”

Xiang Zhuang nodded silently, this is all the fault of intelligence, damn intelligence!

Wei Yu took a breath and said: "If our army wants to turn the situation around, we must choose a direction and move forward bravely, no matter how many Han troops are intercepted in front, we must defeat them until we are far away from Handan, away from this shadow-like beacon fire, otherwise, it will be impossible for our army to get rid of the Han army's pursuers!" ”

Xiang Zhuang nodded and asked in a deep voice, "So, which direction should I choose?" ”

Wei Yi pondered for a while, and then said: "Since this is already Ye County, then the continuous east is Huanshui, if the old decay is not mistaken, you can go down the Huanshui to a small city called Jianpu, this place can wade across the river, as long as our army can cross the Huanshui, you can temporarily get rid of the pursuit of the Han army." ”

After saying this, Wei Yu said again: "However, on the way east, the Han army pressed over from the northeast will definitely intercept it, so that there may also be a Han army stationed in Jianpu!" If this is the case, and our army cannot defeat the defenders of Jianpu in time, then the Han armies from all walks of life around will hear the news, and our army will probably be ......"

Wu She, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Xiao Kai, and Yu Ziqi's generals suddenly became very solemn, although the second half of Wei Yu's words did not come out, but the meaning was that everyone knew that if Jianpu was really guarded by the Han army, and the Chu army could not break through in time, then the Han army from all walks of life would hear the wind, and the Chu army would probably be wiped out.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes focused on Xiang Yu.

Whether it can go east or not is related to the life and death of the Chu army, and this decision can only be made by Xiang Zhuang!

Xiang Zhuang didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "Order, the whole army will turn around and go east, go to Thorn Pu!" "It doesn't matter whether the front is an abyss or a sea of swords and fires, it's a big deal to fight with Liu Bang Lao'er, only indecisiveness, that is a taboo for generals, at least Xiang Zhuang will never hesitate at such a time.

Handan County, northeast of Ye County.

The 20,000 elite soldiers of Mei Kai, the general of Hengshan State, were zigzag westward, and the scouts of the Chu army found that it was Mei Kai's army.

Mei Kai is also a famous general, after Xiang Yu destroyed Qin, he divided the world, in addition to the eighteen princes and kings, the following generals were only crowned with ten thousand marquis, only Mei Kai was awarded one hundred thousand marquis because of his outstanding military achievements!

However, even Mei Li has to admire Zhang Liang's resourcefulness!

It is not unreasonable for Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, to exaggerate and strategize, but to win thousands of miles away, this white-faced scholar sat in Puyang and moved his mouth, drumming up a net of four positives, six wonders, and ten sides, Mei Kai thought it was a joke, but he didn't want to really force the thousands of remnants of Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er into a desperate situation!

How ferocious Xiang Zhuang is, Mei Li is quite clear.

In the battle of Dabie Mountain, although Mei Qiang said that he had never fought with Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Zhuang only relied on 3,000 remnants of soldiers to kill the three Han armies in a row, and then smashed the Han Bang camp, almost cut Liu Bang with a knife, this battle made Mei Qiang not dare to believe it, Xiang Zhuang can scare Liu Bang so much that he dare not stay in the mountains, how can it be easy to be with him?

But now, the remnants of Xiang Zhuang have really become fish in the net.

Zhou Bo, Wang Su, Fu Kuan, Mei Kai, Li Shang, Xiahou Ying Six Road Army has been completely opened, forming a huge encirclement, the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang to wrap up, because the beacon fire and wolf smoke are all over the Zhao land, so the Han army can grasp the movement of the Chu army in time, so no matter which direction the Chu army turns, the Han army's encirclement network can also move in time.

When the Chu army stopped and tried to rest, there would immediately be a Han army that smashed into the net, forcing it to continue to advance.

Mei Kai believes that in two days at most, the Chu army will be exhausted, and by that time, the 120,000 troops of the Sixth Route Elite Army will be surrounded on all sides, and the Chu army will be defeated no matter how brave and good it is!
