Chapter 451: Take the initiative to fight
When the sky was about to fall, Lu Tai finally rushed to Ruoxian with 30,000 Han cavalry and 20,000 Yueshi Hu cavalry, and Zhou Guanfu's 3,000 elite cavalry went south with Lu Tai. [Literature]
Looking at Ruoxian County not far away, Zhou Guanfu said angrily: "Generally, I will take people to cut down trees and build ladders, and attack the city overnight tonight, maybe tomorrow morning, we will be able to take Ruoxian County and burn the grain and grass of the Chu army with a fire, I want to see, how can Jiang Ji's army rush back this time?" Hum! ”
Lu Tai muttered: "It's okay to cut down trees and build ladders, just attack the city overnight." ”
In any case, Ruoxian is an important place for the Chu army to hoard grain and grass, and there are not only 8,000 elite soldiers stationed in the city, but also the entire city is surrounded by water. The king of Han ordered him to lead his troops south, but the purpose was to mobilize Jiang Ji's Chu army and make it exhaustive, rather than really wanting to take Ruoxian.
Zhou Guanfu shouted and said, "Forget it? How can it be counted? Can't count! ”
"Okay, victory, stop yelling." Lu Tai patted Zhou Guanfu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I know that you have been holding back the anger in Liyutan, but you still have to wait until you turn back to attack the Hewan camp and then vent it to Xiang Zhuang's head, Ruoxian in front of you is a hard bone, you don't have to gnaw on it for the time being." ”
Zhou Guanfu snorted and muttered that he would lead people to cut down trees and build ladders.
Only then did Lu Tai turn around and shout to the herald cavalry behind him: "Order the whole army to camp and set up camp!" ”
"Whoa!" Dozens of horsemen responded violently, and flew away, less than a moment of effort, the cavalry of the Han army in the western suburbs of Ruoxian County turned over and dismounted, and unloaded the tent equipment from the horseback, and began to set up camp.

Bi Shu fell asleep from noon until the next morning, and the fatigue of the hurried march was suddenly swept away.
When striding into the tent of the Chinese army. Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Tuo, Bai Lixian and other monarchs and ministers of Chu have already gathered together, Xiang Tuo, Bai Lixian and other civil and military officials are all sitting on the left and right, Xiang Zhuang is only sitting on the right head of the case, but the chief in the middle is empty, Bi Shu knows that the seat is reserved for him. didn't shirk at the moment, and sat down with the chief high.
Xiang Zhuang looked sideways at Bi Shu and said loudly: "Learn the sword, this is the beginning?" ”
Bi Shu bowed his head lightly, waved his hand lightly, and said: "Order, drum and gather generals!" ”
"Whoa!" The iron bull behind Bishu responded violently, and then strode out of the account. [Literature]
After a while, the Chinese army camp sounded like a rain of war drums, and the sound of war drums began to be heard. The generals of all armies and battalions turned over their horses one after another and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Liu Bang had a nightmare again, dreaming that Xiang Zhuang was covered in blood and broke into Weiyang Palace with a sword in his hand, Liu Bang fled with Mrs. Qi in a hurry, never thought that Mrs. Qi slipped and fell to the ground, Liu Bang was about to go back to support Mrs. Qi When Xiang Zhuang had already killed, he lifted Mrs. Qi from the ground.
Liu Bang's soul is all gone. I have the heart to step forward to save people, but my feet instinctively retreat backwards.
Xiang Zhuang didn't chase after him, but just smiled and began to tear Mrs. Qi's shirt, only a moment, Mrs. Qi's shirt was stripped clean by Xiang Zhuang, but a pair of infinitely enchanting, extremely angry snow-white delicate body, and then, Liu Bang saw Xiang Zhuang lift his robe, took out a terrifying giant and stabbed Mrs. Qi's lower body at once......
"No!" Liu Bang roared angrily. Suddenly, he sat up from the soft couch, and realized that it was just a dream of Nanke.
The closed curtain was suddenly opened, and Liu Bi, who was dressed in military uniform and full of heroism, strode in, and asked Liu Bang with some concern: "King, what's wrong with you?" "It's okay, it's okay." Liu Bang waved his hand weakly, but a bean-sized cold sweat slipped down his face, and then Liu Bang felt a burst of coldness, and he found that the whole person had been soaked in cold sweat, and there was no reason at all. Liu Bang felt an unprecedented irritability, all these years, Xiang Zhuang was about to become his demon.
Liu Bi asked people to bring a basin of hot water to Liu Bang to clean himself, Liu Bang just changed his clothes and got up, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying and other important civil and military ministers came to his Chinese army tent one after another.
Seeing Zhang Liang and the others looking excited, Liu Bang said puzzledly: "Ovary, what's wrong?" ”
Zhang Liang took a breath and said in a deep voice: "King, the Chu army is lining up outside the camp, and they are going to fight!" ”
"The Chu army wants to take the initiative to fight?!" Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, and then said overjoyed, "This is good news." ”
Zhang Liang bowed his head lightly and said: "It seems that Xiang Zhuang has realized that if he continues to consume like this, his naval army will not only not be able to save Ruoxian, but will also be dragged down and dragged to death by our army, so he can only choose to fight with me!" After saying this, Zhang Liang said again, "However, Xiang Zhuang is still very good at choosing the right time, and at this time, the Chu army has the greatest chance of winning in a decisive battle with our army." ”
Liu Bang nodded and said: "Well, if you take away 30,000 elite cavalry and 20,000 Yueshi Hu cavalry, the Chu army will fight at this time, at least in terms of the disadvantage of cavalry, it is not so obvious." "The Han army originally had 100,000 Han cavalry and 100,000 Hu cavalry, and after several big battles, there are still 80,000 Han cavalry plus 50,000 Hu cavalry, and Lu Tai took away 50,000 Han cavalry, leaving only 50,000 Han cavalry and 30,000 Hu cavalry.
Zhou Bo said in a deep voice: "But if Xiang Zhuang chooses to take the initiative to fight, the battlefield will inevitably be far away from the river, and the Chu army will not be able to use the crossbow boats of the navy, which is good news for our army!" ”
Chen Ping echoed: "Therefore, in this decisive battle, our army has a better chance of winning!" ”
"!" Liu Bang waved his old fist and said viciously, "Edict, the whole army will fight!" ”
"Whoa!" In less than a moment, the Han army camp resounded with the sound of passionate war drums and endless horns, and then a group of Han soldiers rushed out of the open gate and began to line up on the empty wasteland.

Half an hour later, the two armies of Chu and Han shot at a distance of five hundred paces from each other, the two armies of Chu and Han put on a conventional formation, the infantry army was in front, the baggage fell behind, and then the cavalry protected the two wings, the only difference was that the scale of the baggage troops of the Chu army was much larger than that of the Han army.
In the circle of the two armies, Huyan had already come out of the formation, galloping back and forth in front of the formation, dancing and shouting: "The Great Chu Heavenly Wolf General Huyan Zhengde is here, who dares to fight with a certain battle?!" ”
As the so-called shadow of the tree and the name of the person, I heard that the Chu general in front of him, who was as strong as an iron tower, was Huyan Zhengde who fought with the champion Hou on the Golden Bull Road for more than 100 rounds, and a low sound of inhalation sounded in the Han army formation, and there were no less than hundreds of Han army generals behind Liu Bang, and no one dared to fight.
Seeing that no one in the Han army had come out to meet the battle, Hu Yan still refused to give up, and actually lightly urged the war horse to approach within a hundred steps of the Han army's main formation, and then raised the pole in his hand, pointed at the Han King Daxu on the opposite side and sneered: "There is a huge Han country, hundreds of thousands of troops, and there is not a single man?" ”
"Huyan Zhengde Piff, Hugh is going to be rampant, a certain will fight you!"
Someone in the Han army was finally annoyed, and at the moment he urged the horses to go out of the battle, dancing the halberd and taking Huyan, and when the generals looked at it urgently, it was Liu Bi, the general of the Yulin Zhonglang in front of the Han king's tent.
Hu Yan laughed twice, and immediately urged the horse to greet him.
said that it was too late and that it was fast, the two horses could intersect, Hu Yan shouted, and the eight horse lances in his hands had already swept over according to Liu Miao's head and face, how could Liu Bi be willing to show weakness? At that moment, the round halberd swept over Hu Yan's waist, and between the lightning and the fire, the horse lance and the big iron had already collided fiercely, and then there was an explosion. ..., Liu Bi snorted in an instant, the crotch mount raised its head and hissed sadly, and the huge body was also abruptly on one side, almost falling to the ground on the spot, fortunately, Liu Bi was excellent at riding, and suddenly pulled the reins of the horse when he could not make a move, which stopped the sideways of the war horse by means of the momentum of the oblique rush, and then the two horses staggered.
"Haha!" Huyan Lema turned around, raised his horse lance again and pointed at Liu Bi, and said with a loud smile, "Boy, you are not a certain opponent, suffer death!" Before the words fell, Hu Yan had already urged the war horse to rush towards Liu Bi again, Liu Bi knew that he was invincible, but he refused to weaken the momentum, and roared angrily to greet the horse.
The two horses can intersect, Hu Yan stabbed Liu Bi with a lance in his right hand, but his left hand quietly put on the dumb moon sword on his waist, Liu Bi thought that Hu Yan was deliberately humiliating him with a lance in one hand, and he was furious at the moment, regardless of the ground, he was also a halberd according to Hu Yan's heart and stabbed over, looking at his posture, he planned to fight for his life and die with Hu Yan!
The corners of Hu Yan's mouth suddenly bloomed with a trace of hideous murderous intent, and when he was about to stab Liu Bi to death with a lance, a sharp sound of breaking the air suddenly shot from the back of his head, and there was also an uproar in the Chu army formation on the opposite side.
At the moment of life and death, Hu Yan did not have a trace of panic, the horse lance in his right hand was lightly pulled, calmly put aside Liu Bi's halberd, and the dumb moon sword in his left hand was unsheathed at the same time, and he didn't look at the backhand of the back of his head is a sword, and with a ding, a thumb-thick wolf tooth heavy arrow was cut in two by the dumb moon sword and fell to the ground.
The two horses staggered again, galloping a hundred and ten paces away, and when Huyan reined in his horse and turned around again, another horseman general held a bow in his left hand and a halberd in his right hand, and he had already stepped out of the formation, and shouted at Liu Bi: "General, don't panic, I'm here to help you!" "This person is the sister-in-law of Lu Juan, the guard of Jiuyuan County, and Lu Yi, the guard of Liu Bang.
Liu Bang saw Lu Yi out of the horse, so he simply ordered the other sixteen Lang generals, and the sixteen Lang generals urged their mounts one after another, and rushed out of the big array to meet Huyan like a swarm.
On the other side, the Chu army was already boiling, and when you Yuan, Baili Mao, Tian Po and other fierce generals were about to go out to help in the battle, they were stopped by Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Zhuang waved his hand to drink the generals, and said: "Such a group of local chickens and tile dogs, Huyan should be able to cope with it, you don't have to do this more." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
