Chapter 27: The Battle of the White Horse (3)
Liu Bang was full of confidence, and after Qu Yu won the victory, there were several anti-Qin Shili that came one after another, which made the Western Expeditionary Army reach more than 66,000 people, and in contrast, the Qin army was only 20,000 defeated, and it was in an absolute advantage in terms of troops, and it also accounted for the momentum of the siege in the battlefield situation, and the result of the Battle of White Horse would not change much.
However, since the Qin army showed an unprecedented high fighting spirit, Liu Bang also had a sense of pleasure of meeting his opponent and meeting good materials. He had decided to use the strongest attack to tell the Qin people that there was only two ways to oppose him, Liu Bang, surrender or die.
Qu Yu and White Horse in World War II, the number of troops participating in the war was close to 100,000, which was much more convincing than the small-scale battles of Yongqiu and Gongli, Liu Bang just wanted to let the world know that this Chu hero, in addition to Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew, he Liu Bang was not bad, and even better.
"Order: Heavy armor press!" Amid the flags and trumpets of the herald officers, 2,500 burly men in armor and armed with shields and heavy swords rang out.
"Gale!" Liu Bang looked at the elite soldiers who were moving forward with satisfaction, and a sense of pride arose in his heart, this was an elite division that he had spent countless efforts to build.
The hoplites were on the inside, the outer rangers were covering, and the men and horses who had been fighting with the Qin army all the way, Liu Bang sent the liliang that could be sent, if it wasn't for the fear of horseback riding, and worried that the horse would be frightened and take him off, Liu Bang would just want to go to the battlefield in person to cut off the heads of a few Qin soldiers.
"Cheap this group of Qin dogs!" Liu Bang took a sip fiercely, his expression was a little painful, and his legs began to ache and numb after watching the battle for a long time, and a person in his fifties and young people in his twenties and thirties could not be compared.
"Pei Gong, Baimaxi City has been captured by our army, and this battle will not end for a while, so it is better for us to go to Xishi City to rest for a while." Xiao He said with a bitter face, these days, he has been standing silently behind Liu Bang, as the general manager of Liu Jun, Xiao He can be described as conscientious, without his efforts, Liu Bang can be the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army.
Let's just say that this time, Liu Bang ordered all the heroes from all walks of life to come to help, and this grain was never seen to let the helpers solve it by themselves, but fortunately, Xiao He cleaned and thoroughly searched the county and county warehouses in Dangjun and Dongjun, so that Liu Bang's army had the possibility to continue to fight with the Qin army.
In war, in addition to fighting on the battlefield, the supply of grain is also the top priority. Yang Xiong's defeat this time was not also due to the fact that Yao Jiajin's supply line was occupied by Liu Bang's army.
In the West Market, the most active and prosperous place for Baimadu merchants, other people's eyes were fixed on the battlefield, but Xiao He had his eyes on this place early.
"I followed Gong Cao's advice." Liu Bang nodded to Xiao He, and motioned to Zhongjuan Zhou Bo to lead the Chinese army to Xishi, what was the purpose of Xiao He's suggestion, Liu Bang naturally understood, not to mention, he did feel a little tired.
――。
The fierce battle lasted from noon to dusk, after the change of commander, the Qin army's front began to stabilize slightly, under the command of Li Yuan, the remaining more than 4,000 crossbow cavalry of the Chinese army rushed back and forth, and after paying nearly half the price, the three lines were finally connected.
At this time, the soldiers on both sides have begun to be tired, and the princes who came to participate in the war saw that Liu Bang was not on the battlefield at this time, and they couldn't help but begin to relax.
In these years, if you have strength, you are a master, and if you don't have strength, you are a grandson.
Resisting the tyrannical Qin was actually just a slogan, and before the unification of the Qin state, the taxes of the six Kwantung countries were not much less than those of the Qin state.
Since Li Yuan took over the command of the Qin army, he did not blindly put the limited reserve Liliang into the counterattack, on the contrary, he transferred the two Qin troops guarding the east and west cities of Baima to enrich the Liliang of the reserves, and at the same time, induced Liu Bang to send troops to occupy the east and west cities.
The battle situation is unpredictable, a little change may trigger a fundamental difference, in the face of the huge temptation, Li Yuan does not believe that Liu Bang can bear it, you must know that Liu Bang is in charge of the allied forces of all roads this time, if you let any way Shili occupy the rich bazaar first, then Liu Bang is afraid that it will be too late to regret it.
Time passes!
On the other side of the river, the Li merchants, who had already cleared the remnants of the Xingyang army, also began to reorganize their boats and tried to cross the river to reinforce the main battlefield. Compared with the perseverance of the Liu army, Wei generals such as Huang Xin and General Pu were much slack, and only Peng Yue's thief army was still powerful, constantly launching unbearable attacks behind the flanks of the Qin army.
Sincere!
With a muffled sound, Li Yuan felt a sharp arrow pass by his side, nailed to the banner behind him, which symbolized the ownership of the Qin army's command.
Is the end of the crossbow?
Li Yuan showed a cruel smile on his face, he had already seen that not far away, Liu Bang's heavy infantry had been mixed with the Qin army, under the attack of the heavy armor soldiers, the Qin army soldiers fell one after another, in just half an hour, there were nearly a thousand Qin casualties, and what made Li Yuan feel relieved was that this time, the Qin army's front was not broken, no matter how many people were killed or wounded, they always stuck to their positions and never took half a step back.
"Drumming!"
The war drums of the Qin army sounded like thunder, and the war song of the old Qin followed.
"The whole army to the left, kill!" In the dim sky, Li Yuan shouted, rode his horse and raised his gun, and first killed the generals on the left flank surrounded by Huang Xin and others.
Behind Li Yuan, the main force of the Qin army was like the water of a great river that had been blocked for a long time, and it flowed straight down with a rushing momentum, and all those who stood in it did not die.
"Qin Gou has fought back!" I don't know who it was, but as soon as the mournful cry sounded, it was swallowed up by the black angry waves.
Wei General Huangxin didn't expect that Li Yuan would use him here as a breakthrough, and he was still thinking about leaving a new force to rush into the East and West City just now, and his fighting spirit was at the lowest point.
"Quick, gather people and kill the thief!" Huang Xin shouted urgently, and in the eyes of the black shadow, he was horrified to find that a Qin army was coming towards him.
"Whew!"
Li Yuan galloped on his horse, stabbed out with a shot, and immediately picked out an enemy general who was shouting to kill the thief. God blocked and killed God, Huang Xin couldn't have imagined that he hadn't even had time to report his name, he was picked up by the enemy under the horse, and then, a burst of horse hooves stepped on, and Huang Xin, the powerful man of Weidi, had become a pile of mud.
Huang Xin died, the department was immediately defeated, and the rest of the Shili, who was worse than Huang Xin, saw that the situation was not good, and they led their soldiers to flee backwards, and for a while, the encirclement of the coalition forces on the left flank was broken, which made Sima Yin, who was only a thousand people left, very surprised.
"Did the county guard come to our rescue?" General Sima Yin was suspicious, he had been besieged alone, he didn't notice the changes in the Qin army, and thought that Yang Xiong had led the troops to relieve the siege, but when he thought of Yang Xiong's injury, he felt unlikely.
Who is it that can take the head of the enemy general in the army of 10,000 horses?
