Chapter 302: The Chu Army Breaks Out

The Battle of Yuyang.

Another stage of the battle for the land of swallows was unveiled.

The Xiongnu army, which had been in a strategic offensive before, gradually lost its vigor and enterprising spirit after spending the entire summer of June and July.

A group of Hun soldiers who returned with a full load began to return from Yandi, and behind their carriages, there were not only looted treasures, but also countless women and children in Yandi.

The complacent Huns began to be homesick in August, and gradually lost the desire to stay in Yandi.

In contrast, the Qin cavalry who came from afar did not look tired at all, and when the Huns and the Chu people fought desperately in Yandi, the Qin army was grinding their knives on the side for a long time, and they were already impatient to wait.

The border people of Jiuyuan and the Huns -- over the years, resentment and hatred have long been indistinguishable. Before Mao Dun took over as Da Danyu, the Qin army had the upper hand, and after the fall of the Qin state, the border army fell behind.

In fact, the appearance of these border people galloping in the Hetao and Yinshan areas is actually very close to the Huns, among them, intermarriage is the main reason, of course, this kind of intermarriage is based on strength, generally speaking, it is the pairing of Qin men and Hun women.

After Li Yuan realized the unification of the military and government of Qin, Wang Li's border army group gradually integrated into the Qin State as a whole, and with the support of the strong national strength behind it, the border army regained its vitality in the confrontation with the Huns.

The right bone of the Huns, who was responsible for guarding the rear road, was lost in a battle, and nearly 10,000 Hun cavalry became yellow sheep who were driven away and fled in the battle with the Qin cavalry.

Hearing that the northern front was defeated, Yu Maodun, who was recuperating from illness, couldn't care about the recurrence of his illness, and personally led the Chinese army of his headquarters to rush to the Yuyang area to supervise the battle, which narrowly stabilized the front that was about to collapse.

On the southeast front, Han Xin and Lu Chen's 30,000 allied troops quietly escaped from the junction of Qi and Yan in the past. Although the soldiers of the coalition forces could not be compared with the Huns in combat effectiveness, it was important that they had a surprising advantage.

The two support armies on the left and right were dispatched separately, and Li Yuan, the commander of the coalition army, of course, would not sit idly by, and the Qin, Changshan, and Wei coalition armies built pontoon bridges in Yishui with great fanfare, and began to march north in groups, in fact, it was precisely because of his containment in the front that the Huns relaxed their vigilance on both flanks.

Maud had a splitting headache.

With his understanding of how to deal with the feuds between the steppe tribes, he could not have imagined. Li Yuan will send troops to rescue Xiang Yu, Qin and Chu are already undying old enemies, how could they not attack the capital of Chu when they can fall into the ground, but run to the north to aid the Chu army.

For the Xiongnu in the north, the grievances and hatreds between Qin and Chu can only have one result, that is, one side overwhelms the other, and there will never be a situation where the two sides will work together to deal with the third party.

Different cultural origins.

Let the Huns and the Central Plains people consider the problem. There are different ways of thinking and opinions, and it is the difference in this layer that makes the Huns suffer a big loss.

――。

None.

The Chu army finally waited for the best time to break through.

On the bank of Luanshui, the fierce battle between the Qin army and the Hun cavalry made Xiang Zhuang's blood boil. He could never have imagined that when the Chu army was in despair, it was the old enemy Qin people who came to the rescue.

Although Chu has three households. Death of Qin will be Chu.

After Xiang Yu shouted this slogan, and after Julu defeated more than 400,000 Qin troops, the feud between Qin and Chu could no longer be resolved.

Unless. Qin people repay grievances with virtue, how is this possible?

"Overlord, we break through to the south, more than two hundred miles away from Jixian County, it is the territory of the Qin people, as long as we rush through the encirclement of the Huns, we can stand out." Xiang Zhuang looked excited, and admonished Xiang Yu, who was drunk and hazy.

"Qin people, how can Qin people come to save us, Xiang Zhuang, you talk in your dreams." Xiang Yu staggered to his feet, his bloodshot heavy pupils cloudy.

Breakthrough.

It's not like he hasn't tried.

But ten full attempts brought Xiang Yu deeper and deeper disappointment each time, even if it was the most successful one, it was just for him to escape alone.

The elite Northern Expedition of more than 60,000 Great Chu, if only one escaped alone, then what face did he Xiang Yu have to live in the world, and what face did he have to see Jiangdong's father.

In this battle, Xiang Yu really underestimated the enemy.

Originally, he thought that the Huns were just foreign barbarians, just like the Fan tribe and Shanyue who were active in Jiangdong, but they survived with their own bravery and the cold weather in Mobei, and June and July were the summer days in the north, and after the Huns had no credentials, if the two armies faced each other with real swords and guns, how could the Huns be the opponents of the Chu army.

However, the facts gave Xiang Yu a blow to the head.

Maudun's military talent, in terms of comprehensive ability, surpassed Xiang Yu, and after the Chu army achieved some initial results, it fell into the encirclement of the Huns.

"Overlord, this time it is true, the scout has just returned from the waterway, in the Luanshui area, the Qin army and the Huns have been facing each other for several days, as long as we break through from this direction, we can join forces with the Qin army, and then the food supply will be settled-!" Xiang Zhuang rubbed his hands happily and said longingly.

At this moment, the great joy of breaking through made Xiang Zhuang completely forget the past grievances between Qin and Chu.

"Xiang Zhuang, how is the morale of the soldiers in the city? How many people are there who can fight? Xiang Yu asked calmly, he had just woken up from a drunken state, and suddenly found that not only Xiang Zhuang, but even the eyes of the relatives around him also showed a look of joy.

The desire to live.

has overwhelmed everything.

"Overlord, in Jixian County, our army has a total of more than 30,000 generals, of which about two-thirds are wounded, sick and weak, and the soldiers who can fight are less than 10,000 people, but after hearing the arrival of reinforcements, the morale of the whole army is high, and they are asking for battle-!" Xiang Zhuang replied with a happy face.

"Okay, if you want to fight, you will fight, even if I am drunk, I can still fight on the horse, and kill him in the Hun camp and turn over on his back alone." Xiang Yu said loudly.

After that, Xiang Yu kicked the table of wine to the ground, took the helmet and battle armor held by the soldiers on the side, and strode out of the gate of the old Yanwang Mansion.

As soon as the black cone horse saw Xiang Yu come out, he immediately hissed with a long voice of "Herod", during this time, the Chu army was short of food, and many war horses were also killed as military food, this black cone horse was spared, thanks to the reason why it was Xiang Yu's mount.

Li Yuan personally led the coalition army to help.

This unexpected news made Xiang Yu's already desperate heart full of fighting spirit again.

Li Yuan can do it, why can't he Xiang Yu do it, what if there are many Huns, think that at the beginning, on the bank of Zhangshui, the Chu army faced the same as as 400,000 elite Qin troops, and now, in the face of the siege of the Huns, is it really stronger than the Qin army at that time?

Apparently not.

The real reason is that the fighting spirit of the Chu army has fallen.

After winning the status, glory and wealth, the Chu army gradually lost the desperate energy that had nothing at the beginning, and many Chu army generals such as Zhou Lan began to protect themselves, and began to choose to preserve their strength when the war was tight, and no longer took the lead as bravely as before.

August 14th.

Daybreak.

When the first rays of color in the sky began to shine on the head of Jixian County, the well-prepared Chu army breakthrough troops opened the south gate and swept through the Xiongnu camp that had just woken up from their sleep like a fiery fire.

It was a desperate sortie.

The Chu army left nearly 30,000 wounded and sick soldiers, almost in an embarrassed posture to fight, if defeated again, the Chu army will no longer have the strength to struggle, in the front of the Chu army's charge, Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang, Cao Ji, Xue Gong and other Chu army generals attacked with a decisive momentum, and for a time the Huns were caught off guard.

The red wave swept in.

It only took half an hour to break through the first line of defense of the Huns, and the scattered war horses ran aimlessly between the tents, while its owner lay down on the route of the Chu army's breakthrough and was directly trampled into a pile of mud.

The big tent of the Xiongnu Chinese army.

This time, after learning the news that the Chu army was out of the city, he began to dispatch troops, and there were about 100,000 Hun cavalry besieging the city, all of which were elite divisions brought by Mao Dun from Mobei.

With 100,000 elite horsemen to deal with less than 10,000 Chu people.

Mao Dun was actually not worried about the result, the opponent he really cared about was still the Li Yuan who always surprised him and made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Da Danyu, the Chu people broke the first barracks, and now they are coming towards the Chinese army, and the armies of the left and right generals and the right bone are gathering over."

Although it was impossible for the Chu army to kill the Xiongnu Chinese army camp for a while, the safety of Mao Dun made these generals particularly worried.

Although the Chu army is nothing?

But Xiang Yu is the world's first-class fierce general, such a single-handedly fierce general once he goes crazy, he is a person who blocks and kills, and the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha, in case he is allowed to rush to the Chinese army, then no one can guarantee that Mao Dun will be safe and sound, in the final analysis, this is still due to Mao Dun's illness, if he changes to a healthy period, Mao Dun can escape several miles away as long as he straddles a horse, and he doesn't have to worry about the pursuit of the Chu people at all.

"Command all departments, besiege and kill Chu Man, today, I will first slaughter the head of Xiang Ji, the Chu thief, and then lead the army to fight a decisive battle with Li Yuan." Mao Dun's face turned pale, and he ordered in a cold voice.

Swallow land.

It has completely become a battlefield for tearing and killing, and the battle line between the Huns and the Central Plains has long been unable to distinguish each other, and this kind of melee is the favorite of the Huns who are good at raiding. (To be continued......)
