Chapter 173: Please enter the valley

After the night attack of the Qin army, they retreated by taking advantage of the night that was not yet completely transparent!

Based on the reports of all parties, it was finally learned that the Qin army occupied the West City Gate from inside and outside, and then took the opportunity to burn the grain and straw, Xiang Zhuang was furious, a group of baby soldiers, and the bloody battle had not fought a battle, and he actually took a big advantage under his Xiang Zhuang's nose, if this was known to all the Chu generals, wouldn't he Xiang Zhuang lose face.

And more importantly, the grain is gone, and when the main force of the Chu army arrives next, what will you eat, do you want to drink the northwest wind?

"The halberd thief, really not a good species?" Xiang Zhuang raised some men and horses, and met Xiao Gongjiao, who had delayed his departure, plus the soldiers and horses of Sima Qiong, the king of Yin, and Wei Bao, the king of Western Wei, who had rushed to Luoyang one after another, and a total of about 5,000 people rode on foot, and chased in the direction of Han Xin's retreat.

The army passed through the ten-mile slope.

But from time to time, the scattered cavalry of the Chu army came to meet them, and the fleeing cavalry saw Xiang Zhuang's Daxu, and immediately leaned over as if they had seen their relatives.

"Major General, it's not good, Captain Huan has been attacked by the enemy-!" One of the fugitives looked panicked and shouted loudly before he could dismount and return.

"Huan Chu is dead?" Xiang Zhuang chuckled in his heart, and his face turned pale instantly. The grain was burned due to negligence, which is already a big crime, if it is because of this, a general, although Fan Zeng said on behalf of Xiang, but someone is really embarrassed, Xiang Zhuang will inevitably be demoted.

"No, it's not, Captain Huan is injured!" The fugitive was glared at by Xiang Zhuang and finally came back to his senses.

"Where are the people?" Xiang Zhuang asked.

"Just in front of the dense forest, it's a border pawn, and the Qin people's border pawn has come over!" The fugitive replied stammeringly, unaware that at this time, his head had been sent to Xiang Zhuang's name.

"The Lord will fight before him, but you will flee for your life. Aren't you afraid of death? Xiang Zhuang sneered. The halberd in his hand stabbed out. Slit the throat of the fugitive at once.

Punish someone as a warning to others.

Huan Chu's cavalry combat power is actually not weak, and the reason why it collapsed all at once was mainly because a fierce cavalry battle in the dark night last night was too fierce.

One life for another.

As long as you can still be on the horse, you have to move forward.

This brave spirit of the border army. Let the Chu army cavalry feel the approach of death, and now the Chu army cavalry is no longer a poor bastard who had nothing during the Julu War, except for a rotten life. Don't think about anything. Many of them, when they first entered Guanzhong, robbed a lot of wealth, and with these treasures, they returned to their hometowns in the same clothes as the overlord Xiang Yu, making the young friends in the township envious.

With money and status, marry a beautiful and amorous little lady and give birth to a brat with a handle. Under such concerns, the combat effectiveness of the Chu army generals gradually declined.

Xiang Zhuang retracted Huan Chu's defeated horse. Unwilling to lose, he continued to pursue, trying to use a victory to recover his mistakes, but unfortunately, Han Xin in front of him had a very thorough grasp of Xiang Zhuang's gambler psychology, and the Qin army fought and retreated, but it was not far from the Chu army.

In the entanglement, Hongnongjian is in front of you.

The Qin army's foot soldiers followed the pass of the valley, turned around and disappeared into it, and then Menghu's cavalry bypassed the valley and left the battlefield from another direction.

"What to do? Is it to divide the troops to pursue, or to take only one road? Xiang Zhuang was undecided.

"Major General, the valley ahead is deep, and I am afraid that the enemy will have ambushes, why don't we withdraw for the time being?" Xiao Gongjiao approached Xiang Zhuang and whispered.

In the middle of the night, if he hadn't delayed his speed, Huan Chu would not have attacked alone, if he fought together, with the little strength of the border army, the Chu cavalry, which had an obvious advantage, would not be defeated, thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but look at Xiao Gongjiao's eyes fiercely.

"What kind of soldiers to retreat, we have to march in, Captain Xiao, you go and kill Han Xin to avenge Captain Huan." Xiang Zhuang snorted coldly and shouted.

"This, Han Xin has thousands of soldiers and horses, and I have more than a thousand horsemen!" Xiao Gongjiao was embarrassed.

"If you don't go, can you afford the crime of neglect last night?" Xiang Zhuang scolded sharply, and his voice was so like no silver three hundred taels, forcing Xiao Gongjiao to a dead end all of a sudden.

If you don't go, that's okay, all the sins of negligence are borne by you, and if you go, make a great contribution, then everything can be as if nothing happened. Xiang Zhuang may not have learned anything during the days he followed Fan Zeng, but he had some skills in the technique of belly black.

"The last general will go into the valley to chase and kill!" Xiao Gongjiao's face turned red, and Zuihou had to give in. A grassroots general like him, who has no background and no strength, fights with a rich and handsome man like Xiang Zhuang, and there is only one result.

――。

Hongnong Stream.

After three days of continuous rain and stream confluence, Saihu Lake has formed a lake that can accommodate more than 500 people.

"Li Hou, the enemy army has entered the valley, and there are about a thousand people." Jiang Yu sweated out of the forest and reported to Li Yuan, who was looking at the movement from afar.

"According to General Han's report, Xiang Zhuang's men and horses are more than this, are the other Chu soldiers still stranded outside the valley?" Li Yuan asked. The scouts sent by Han Xin had already arrived, but the luring enemy troops were still wandering around the valley at this time, and they still needed to continue to drag the pursuers of the Chu army.

"Look at the banner of the Chu army, it should be Xiao Gongjiao's troops, and Xiangzhuang has not entered the valley." Jiang Yu replied.

"Give Han Xin the banner, organize an ambush to besiege Xiao Gongjiao, and lure Xiang Zhuang into the valley for reinforcements." Li Yuan ordered, a Xiao Gongjiao, could not use such a big killing weapon as flooding the lake.

Xiao Gongjiao was very unlucky.

He didn't want to enter the valley, but was forced into the valley by Xiang Zhuang, and soon after entering the valley, Xiao Gongjiao found out in despair that he had been tricked, and Han Xin's troops poured out from all corners of the valley and surrounded his more than 1,000 people.

"Quick, report to the young general, just say that Han Xin has counterattacked!" Xiao Gongjiao shouted the order to gather the troops, and at the same time called the scout fast horse and commanded.

What was Xiang Zhuang's idea? Xiao Gongjiao thought about it for a while, and also understood that Xiang Zhuang wanted to turn defeat into victory, use his own bait to lure Han Xin out, and then come to a counter-encirclement by himself to eat Han Xin's people.

Seeing a scout galloping out of the valley, and then hearing the sound of shouting and killing in the valley road, Xiang Zhuang showed a smug look on his face. Many people think that he Xiang Zhuang is a brave and reckless man, and today, he will also use a strategy to let those who despise him see what kind of person Xiang Zhuang is?

"Sons, gnaw the dry food, take the sword, let's kill the Qin dog." Xiang Zhuang shouted loudly and turned over on his horse first.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

After a short rest, more than 1,700 cavalry and more than 4,000 foot soldiers under the command of Xiang Zhuang have regained their strength, and Xiang Zhuang rushed into the valley first, and saw that Xiao Gongjiao was surrounded in the middle of the valley road, and the corpses of the Chu army and Qin army generals lying on the ground beside him.

Xiao Gongjiao is very desperate, no matter what, he must be dragged to Xiangzhuang to rescue, otherwise, even if he dies, his relatives will be used as slaves by his family members who are regarded as criminals, which Xiao Gongjiao must not bear.

"Da Chu, kill!"

Xiang Zhuang gave an order, and saw the soldiers of the Chu army who had a cheap advantage to take advantage of them rushing towards the center of the battlefield, and at the same time, the Xiao cavalry who saw that there were reinforcements to rescue them also began to get excited.

Hit on both sides.

Han Xinjun's teenagers gradually lost their sharpness after a blow, just now, Gan Liulang's team led Feng Gouzi to be eager to make meritorious contributions, and approached Xiao Gongjiao's side alone, but he didn't want to be besieged by Xiao Bu's personal followers, and with outnumbered enemies, Feng Gouzi struggled to kill two people in a row, and was finally cut to the ground by the blade.

At this time, Gan Liulang, who was in charge of the task of breaking the queen, was so tired that he could barely hold a knife, and this night was an unforgettable night for them who were still minors.

"The general has an order, retreat!"

After persisting for a long time, he finally waited for the order to retreat that he had been thinking about in his heart, but almost all the generals of the Qin army who were still fighting, including Gan Liulang, didn't seem to hear it, their eyes were red, and they continued to fight for their young lives with more and more Chu soldiers.

"Let's go! Those who violate the order will be killed! Han Xin's voice was hoarse, and the stalemate situation in the rear team made him anxious, these young soldiers needless to say in terms of bravery and hard work, but in the strict implementation of iron discipline, they still need further tempering, they have not yet understood the true meaning of "obedience".

"Han Shin! Where to flee -- . Xiang Zhuang daxiao, led a team of personal horses, all the way to avoid the Qin army foot soldiers one by one, this battle was about to be defeated, so that his tense nerves began to relax.

――。

Plug on the lake.

Li Yuan was anxiously waiting for the news that Jiang Yu had sent back in the banner language, as long as Han Xin's rear team could successfully get rid of a certain distance, the soldiers who had been prepared here for a long time would dig up the embankment and pour down the full lake of water.

Narrow valleys add speed and energy to the flow of water, and mudslides mixed with sediment and rocks can be unmatched by gravity.

"Jiang Yu, why hasn't you received it yet?" Li Yuan felt uneasy in his heart, Jiang Yu's 1,000 generals were composed of veteran soldiers who were accustomed to fighting, and they were ambushed on the mountainside side of the valley road, according to the pre-plan, they would intercept Xiang Zhuang's men and horses when Han Xin could not get rid of the pursuing soldiers.

"Li Hou, General Chiang's banner has moved." When time was about to stand still, Li Yuan finally heard the shouts of the messengers.

"Quick, drown the enemy-!" Li Yuan shouted, and in his excitement, he snatched a copper hoe and fell hard towards the gap that had begun to loosen.

Note: Oolong, sorry. I was so excited that I didn't see it clearly, but the head of the family is also the head of a faction, hehe, thank you again! (To be continued.) )
