Chapter 340: Let Yingbu go back

Bi Shu did not agree to Kui Che's request, he really didn't want to take this risk, Chu and Huainan were allies, and Chu did have the obligation and responsibility to protect Huainan, but now that Huainan has been saved, there is no need for the Chu army to fight with the Qi army, especially when there is still a huge risk, let alone go.

What's more, from the current point of view, a Huainan country without Yingbu is beneficial to the Chu state.

In fact, what Bi Shu wants to do most now is to find a quiet tent, recall this duel with Han Xin from beginning to end several times, and repeatedly study the details, Bi Shu believes that through this analysis, he will definitely be able to learn a lot from it, and the next time he fights Han Xin, his performance will be completely different.

Soldiers can only grow in war, as a commander, and also only grow in war, soldiers need blood to become veterans, and commanders need to pile up human lives, in order to build superb command ability, the battle of Surabaya, Chu suffered more than 50,000 casualties, such a heavy price in exchange for the experience, how can Bi Shu ignore it?

Bi Shu refused again, and Kui Che had no choice but to hurriedly return to Pengcheng City to find Zhao Zhen.

Besides, Yingbu took 20,000 forbidden troops and chased the tail of the Qi army for more than 50 miles.

Along the way, the Qi army retreated while resisting, one after another heavy party formation, one after another light army phalanx, and even one after another bow and arrow phalanx, flying spear phalanx, all of which were successively defeated under the pursuit of the 20,000 forbidden troops of the British and Bu forces, but no matter how urgent and fierce the 20,000 forbidden troops of the British and Bu forces were, the entire formation of the Qi army was not in the slightest chaos.

Moreover, in the process of fighting and retreating, Han Xin has completely grasped the details of the 20,000 forbidden army led by Yingbu, including the strength, physical strength, and equipment of this army, and then estimated the comprehensive combat effectiveness.

What's more, the Chu army didn't chase after it, and the Huainan reinforcements didn't chase it either!

After mastering all the details, Han Xin finally made a move and launched a thunderous blow against the Huainan army!

In order to retreat, the four-zhang high lookout car has been destroyed, but this is not difficult for Han Xin, Han Xin asked the pro-army to erect dozens of flagpoles in the Chinese army's main formation, and then hung colored lanterns on them one by one.

For example, the red lantern represents the left army, and the two red lanterns placed side by side represent the left battalion of the left army, and the first three red lanterns are added to the back of a blue lantern, which refers to the left part of the left camp of the left army, and then the lanterns are placed in a high and low, dense and azimuth, which also has another meaning.

The ordinary soldiers of the Qi army did not understand these things at all, but the officers above the rank of Qu Chang had followed Han Xin for a long time and were extremely familiar with Han Xin's daytime and nighttime communication systems, so after the lanterns on the flagpole were hung, more than 200,000 Qi troops quickly turned around and counterattacked, launching a fierce attack on Yingbu's 20,000 Huainan Forbidden Army.

Yingbu suddenly realized that it was indeed too reckless to bring only 20,000 horses to chase and kill Han Xin, but at this time it was too late to regret it, his 20,000 people had already been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Qi legions, in the dark, there were Qi soldiers everywhere, there were fires everywhere, and there was a clamor of killing everywhere, Yingbu didn't even know which direction to break through.

In fact, even if Yingbu knew that the Qi army was false and real, he was afraid that he would not be able to lead the forbidden army to break out of the encirclement.

Although Yingbu's 20,000 forbidden army is elite, in the previous battle against the camp of the Qi army, they have already fought a vicious battle with Cao Shen's 100,000 army, and just chased and killed the butt of Han Xin's army for fifty miles, whether it is physical strength or energy, all have reached the limit, and now it is simply the end of the crossbow.

Moreover, the equipment of the Huainan Army is also significantly inferior to that of the Chu Army! ..., under the blows of the archers and flying spearmen of the Qi army, the casualties of the forbidden army increased rapidly, and when the dead soldiers of the Qi army launched a fierce offensive from all directions, the formation of the Huainan forbidden army finally began to loosen, even if Yingbu was there, it was also impossible to prevent the defeat of the Huainan forbidden army, in the final analysis, Yingbu was also a human being and not a god.

Helpless, Yingbu could only shrink his forces and form several formations, ready to defend to the death.

Now, Yingbu's only hope is that the army of Chu can come as soon as possible, no matter how bad it is, Zhao Zhen and Fei Bao will come with the Huainan army, and maybe they can force Han Xin to retreat.

Yingbu didn't know that the country was now in chaos.

On the issue of whether to send troops to rescue Yingbu, the ministers of civil and military affairs, such as the Minister of State Kuaiche, the middle doctor Ben He, the general Zhao Zhen, and the last general Fei Ba, were already about to quarrel.

The general summoned Zhen to think that the Huainan army could not act rashly, and should guard Pengcheng by the crown prince.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Zhen no longer thinks that Yingbu can come back, and he is ready to make the crown prince the new king.

Zhong Dafu Ben He and the last general Fei Bao believed that Yingbu was the king of Huainan and could not help him, even if he knew that he was invincible, he would also mobilize the Huainan army to respond.

Kui Che still has a worry, that is, once the Huainan army pours out to save the king of Huainan, will the Chu army take the opportunity to attack Pengcheng? Although Chu and Huainan are allies, in the face of huge interests, any alliance is unreliable, if the Chu army has the opportunity to destroy and annex Huainan in one fell swoop, I believe that Bi Shu will never be merciful.

At this time, the evil consequences of Yingbu's unkindness in controlling people were revealed, Kuaiche was the minister of state, nominally the supreme governor of Huainan when Yingbu was absent, but in fact, it was not, whether it was Zhao Zhen, Fat Baht and other military bigwigs, or Ben He, a member of the DPRK and the central government, when Yingbu was not there, they almost didn't buy Kuaiche's account.

More than a dozen ministers quarreled until dawn, but there was still no result.

Outside Pengcheng, the army of Chu has been stationed in the camp of the Qi army.

Han Xin's royal tent has become Bi Shu's temporary line, in the dead of night, but the feasible Yuan is still brightly lit, Bi Shu is seriously summarizing the experience of the Battle of Surabaya, especially the details, he has carefully written on the public loss paper, before and after it is actually full of hundreds of sheets, long articles.

However, looking at this thick pile of handwriting, Bi Shu frowned.

got up, paced in the big tent with his hands behind his back for a long time, until the eastern sky slightly revealed the white of the fish's belly, Bi Shu suddenly realized, turned around and picked up the large stack of public loss sheets full of "experience" on the desk and threw them into the brazier and burned them, looking at the snow-white paper turning into ashes in the flames, Bi Shu's face finally showed a trace of relief.

##########

At dawn, the Qi army, which was attacking the Huainan army from all directions, suddenly retreated like a tide.

Yingbu wiped the blood on his face, turned his head to the east, and took a deep breath of cold air in the sun, the morning air is really fresh, even the smell of blood can't cover up this fresh smell, but unfortunately, this is likely to be his last morning in the world, after the Qi army has made a slight adjustment, and then the next decisive battle, right?

When death came, Yingbu did not regret it, but what was the use of regret?

After a while, a neat armor and a strict queue of Qi troops suddenly drove out of the army, and then went straight to the remnants of the Huainan Forbidden Army.

King Qi Daxu? Han Shin?! Yingbu's eyes narrowed for a moment.

Sure enough, Han Xin, who was dressed in a purple robe, walked out of the formation across the white horse, in Yingbu's eyes, Han Xin was still like that, his nose was not a nose, his mouth was not a mouth, and every pore on his face was full of pride, Yingbu really wanted to slap Han Xin in the face a few times, but now it seems that he is not qualified for this. ..., "Han Xin, you're here to ridicule the widow, right?" Yingbu said coldly.

Han Xin snorted lightly and said, "Yingbu, for the sake of the past, you can go." ”

"Huh?" Yingbu was stunned when he heard this, and said in disbelief, "You just let the widow go?" ”

"Yes, let's go." Han Xin nodded and said indifferently, "The widow hasn't changed his mind yet." ”

Seeing Han Xin nodding, Yingbu became more and more confused, Han Xin was very annoying, but he spoke a lot, he said that if he wanted to let him Yingbu go, he would never go back on his word, but why could Han Xin let him go? How can he Yingbu be regarded as a hero and a tiger, isn't Han Xin letting the tiger return to the mountain?

"How?" Seeing that Yingbu was still hesitating, Han Xin said coldly, "Yingbu, do you want to be a prisoner?" ”

Yingbu swallowed his saliva with some difficulty, turned around and shouted: "Huainan soldiers, go with the widow......"

"No, you're going alone." Before Yingbu's words fell, Han Xin interrupted lightly, "As for the thousands of remnants of the defeated soldiers under your command, you don't have to go back, just let them go to Linzi with the widows." ”

Yingbu was stunned when he heard this, turned around and looked at the soldiers of the forbidden army behind him with some reluctance, and finally went to fight his horse.

In the end, the remaining thousands of forbidden troops wanted to accompany them, but they were intercepted by the sword halberd of the Qi army, and in just a moment, Yingbu rode out of the Qi formation, and the soldiers of the Qi army did not stay in trouble.

It wasn't until the horse was driven up the gallop that Yingbu let out a long sigh of relief.

Yingbu couldn't figure it out, why did Han Shin let him go?

Yingbu didn't know that Han Xin didn't actually want to let him go, what really wanted to let him go was Lou Jing, the prime minister of Qi State, Lou Jing said to Han Xin, King, after this defeat, our army is powerless to go south in a short period of time, if you really kill Yingbu, then the real benefit can only be Chu State, Xiang Zhuang will be able to easily destroy Huainan State, so it is better to let Yingbu go back.

Han Xin suddenly felt that Lou Jing's words were very reasonable, so he adopted the advice, and then really let Yingbu go back.
