Han Xin looked at the thousands of subordinates around him, and he wanted to laugh in his heart. In less than two hours after the rapid march, this group of old soldiers had back pain and leg cramps, and even sat on the ground with their butts, refusing to leave no matter how much you urged.

Han Xin bit his somewhat dry lip, thinking that if he gave himself a little time, he would definitely be able to scream at these grandsons one by one, but Li Ying didn't give him the slightest chance to reorganize the army, and directly led the 24,000 army out of Jinyang.

It will definitely not be able to beat, looking at the ruffians of these old soldiers, it is estimated that as soon as the righteous army is killed, they will immediately kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, even if Han Xin is possessed by Sun Wuzi's soul, it can only be useless at that time.

If you can't beat it, you can only run away, Han Xin's kung fu is still very good at escaping, and he spreads a maze to confuse the rebels along the way. These old soldiers also ran quite well, and when they saw the banner of the rebels from afar, they spread their feet and ran wildly, leaving the rebels far behind.

Taking the water bag handed over by Zhao Wuji, Han Xin took a few sips, and Zhao Wuji also stretched his face with helplessness. After drinking the water in a sullen voice, he looked at the soldiers next to him and said helplessly; "General, you said that these people should fight the war, I think we should break up and go back to the Northern Army."

Han Xin shook his head with a wry smile and said; "You gave up so easily? You must know that the most basic quality of becoming a famous player is to be unyielding and tenacious. ”

Zhao Wuji muttered angrily: "I can't become a famous general, anyway, you are the best at using your brain, I just need to know how to do it when I fight with you." General, you are also a famous general, so tell me, what should we do with these old soldiers. ”

Han Xin didn't answer immediately, but thought for a long time. In fact, the physical fitness of these soldiers is not bad, and the drill is far better than that of a group of rabble rebels. It's just that they lack a spirit, or a faith.

Most of them were defeated soldiers, and Han Xin put up a banner in Taiyuan County, and these people came over one after another, just wanting to have something to rely on. Most of their original formations were broken up and disabled, and Han Xin could only organize them together temporarily.

Expecting these stragglers to be loyal to Daqin who is far away in Xianyang is definitely not very reliable, they care more about their own lives.

The best way to deal with this kind of loose rout is to kill people and strictly enforce military discipline. It's not that these Han Xin haven't thought about it, but it doesn't work at this time, if it's usual, it's nothing, but the problem is that now it's on the way to escape, there are obstacles in front and chasing soldiers in the back. If Han Xin had killed people at this time, I am afraid that in less than a moment, this group of stragglers would have dispersed in a hurry.

Han Xin bit the grassroots, groaned for a while, and suddenly raised his head and asked Zhao Wuji: "What do you say is the best way to let a group of people who have lost their courage regain their courage?" ”

Zhao Wuji replied without thinking; "Money, titles, and women, isn't that what you did in Mobei, my lord?"

Han Xin shook his head and said; "It won't work here." After a pause, he continued; "The soldiers thought very simply, they still had a way out, and they couldn't defeat the rebels. As far as I know, the rebels are quite welcoming to our Qin soldiers who surrendered. ”

"So we must first cut off the retreat of the soldiers at both ends of the first rat, so that they can be determined to follow us to the end. Lao Zhao, you go and do something for me. ”

Liying has been in a bad mood lately, and it's very bad. He was originally a lone thief, and after defecting to Wuchen, he relied on his outstanding martial arts skills and a good mind, and soon climbed to the position of the third person in the 'Zhao State', and was named the Marquis of Wuqiang by Wuchen to lead the troops to Hedong.

Generally, robbers have one characteristic, that is, they are short-tempered, and Liying is no exception. When he has a bad temper, he usually likes to find women to vent, or beat soldiers for fun. Naturally, there were no women in the wilderness here, so he had to double the beating of the soldiers, and the camp was full of complaints.

As for the reason why he was so angry, it had to start with Qin Jun, who had been chased by him for five days. I don't know how this Qin army fought, but the escape was first-class, more slippery than loaches, and Li Ying led the army to chase after him breathlessly for seven days, and still didn't touch a single hair of the Qin army. What made him even more angry was that every dusk in the past three days, more than 100 cavalry of the Qin army would come to provoke outside the station.

Li Ying's men are all foot soldiers, and as we all know, two legs can't outrun four legs under normal circumstances, and his subordinates will certainly not be an exception. Every time he went out of the camp to face the battle, the Qin army would run away when he saw that there were many of them, and he was angry. If you don't ignore them, the words will be unbearable, which will only make Li Ying's teeth itch with hatred, and he can't wait to eat the flesh and blood of the Qin army.

On the eighth day, the spies reported good news that lifted the spirits of the camp, and the Qin army finally stopped fleeing, but camped on a high ground to prepare for battle.

After Li Ying learned the news, he looked up to the sky and laughed, thinking that this general of the Qin army was really fucking okay, and the four thousand people wanted to fight against his six-fold army, and he didn't know whether to praise him for his courage or laugh at him for being stupid. At the moment, he was not polite, and rushed up with a large army and surrounded the camp of the Qin army.

The army of Liying was in hand, and they were in high spirits, and they did not wait for their subordinates to rest and urged them to attack the Qin camp urgently. originally thought that it could be taken in one go, but unexpectedly, there was no progress after a day of hard fighting, and many soldiers were killed and wounded.

Han Xin put a lot of thought into arranging this place, and the camp here was a high ground, and the condescending camping increased the difficulty of the rebels attacking the camp. He also dug a pit in front of the camp and placed strong wood and iron thorns, so that the rebels could hide in all directions when attacking, and the queue was in chaos. Seeing that the Li camp could not be attacked, he had no choice but to ask for a truce in the dark and camp at the foot of the mountain to surround the Qin army.

Although the Qin army relied on Han Xin's skillful camp to resist the attack of the rebel army, there was not much joy in the Qin army, but many people were already frightened when they saw the huge momentum of the rebel army. During the day, the battle is fierce, either you die or I die, and I don't have time to think about it, just mechanically follow the people around me to fight. At night, they became more and more panicked, and many people had the idea of surrendering, and took advantage of the night to sneak down the mountain to join the camp of the rebels.

Li Ying was drinking angrily in the tent, and when he heard that more than a hundred Qin troops had come down the mountain to surrender, he immediately found a vent and immediately ordered the heads of those surrendered soldiers to be cut off. When the overseers sent by the military ministers heard about it, they hurried to stop it and persuaded Li Yingdao; "General, if you cut down the surrendered Qin army, then who will dare to surrender us in the future, isn't this forcing the Qin army on the mountain to fight to the death?"

Li Ying slapped the table and pointed at the nose of the prison army and scolded; "Li Zuoche, you fucking don't point fingers in front of Lao Tzu, you really take this prison army seriously. When I called the king brothers, you kid didn't know which mountain you were nesting on, and now you actually ran in front of me and became presumptuous. ”

"Tell you, the king asked you to be this prison soldier, just because he values your identity, and you really take yourself seriously. If you want to rob money, you won't let me kill people, I won't listen to you, what can you do. I don't believe you go out and shout now to see how many people will listen to you. After Li Ying finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and left, ignoring him.

Li Zuoche sighed and looked up to the sky; "The erector is not enough and the plan."

The relatives on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to persuade in a whisper; "Young master, this martial artist just gave you an empty title, but didn't let you participate in any decision-making, which is obviously distrustful of you. In my opinion, he just wants to use your identity as a young master to call on the old people of Zhao Di, and he doesn't mean to care about you at all. I think we'd better go, stay here and be angry with that birdman, why bother? ”

Li Zuoche sighed again and said; "I don't know what you're saying, but I still can't bear to let it go. You must know that most of these soldiers are the people of my Zhao land, and I think that when my grandfather, General Li Muda, was here, he was more sympathetic to the people, so he was supported by the Zhao people. As his grandson, how can I, as his grandson, abandon the people of Zhao and let them die in vain under the sword of the Qin people.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly; "The food of the king, the matter of loyalty. Although this warrior did not trust me, he always treated me with courtesy, and helped my grandfather erect a monument and build a tomb. Just rush this, I, Li Zuoche, should also try my best to assist Li Ying, as for whether he listens or not, it is not something I can calculate. ”

In the early morning of the second day, more than 100 Qin soldiers who had been separated from their heads were dragged to the foot of the mountain.

After two more days of fighting, the two sides were still deadlocked, the Qin army relied on the geographical advantage to firmly hold the high ground, and there was a spring on the mountain without worrying about cutting off the water. Although Li Ying trapped the Qin army to death on the mountain, he couldn't help them for a while.

On the third day, the Qin army suddenly sent an envoy down the mountain and delivered a letter to Liying. Han Xinwen said a lot of things on it, and Li Ying, who watched it, was dizzy for a long time, and only when he saw the last paragraph did he understand that it was Han Xin who gave him a war letter. It is said that the bitter battle is tasteless, but it is better to have a decisive battle. Let Liying make way for a way, and the Qin army withdrew down the mountain to set up a formation, and the two sides agreed to rush into battle to fight, life and death are fate, and the victory or defeat is determined in a battle.

After reading it, Li Ying laughed and asked the envoy of the Qin army to reply to Han Xin, saying that he would fight as promised tomorrow morning.

After the envoy of the Qin army left, Li Ying said to the generals with a smile; "The leader of the Qin army is really a nerd, originally I thought he had some skills, but I didn't expect him to be an incompetent person who can only talk on paper. If he refuses to stay on the mountain, I can't do anything about him for a while, and since he wants to come and fight against me, then I will do as he wishes, and let him die blindly. ”

All the generals in the tent laughed, only Li Zuoche groaned; "General Li, I'm afraid that Qin Jun's actions are deceitful. Judging from the various actions of the Qin army before, this Qin general is a person who is proficient in warfare, but now his behavior is a little abnormal, and I am worried that there will be some conspiracy in it. Anyway, our army has already trapped them to death, and it only takes more than ten days to surround them, and the Qin army will be exhausted. ”

Li Ying glanced at him angrily and scolded loudly; "Fart. The Qin army has come to invite the battle, but you let us be shrinking turtles, what kind of thing is this, and we won't be laughed to death by others when we say it. You scholars, you will chirp crookedly all day long, but you can't tell you that the most important thing in fighting a war is morale, if we are timid, the soldiers below will also be panicked, do you understand you. ”

Li Zuoche still wanted to speak, but Li Ying waved his hand impatiently and said loudly; "Pass the order, stop the war today, and have a good rest for a day. After eating enough tomorrow morning, he will fight to the death with the Qin army. ”

In the early morning of the second day, if the rebels gave way as promised, the Qin army calmly marched out of the mountains. Li Zuoche saw that the ranks of the Qin army were faintly chaotic during the march, so he suggested that Li Ying take the opportunity to sneak attack, but he glared back.

The Qin army retreated to the river in a hurry, but Han Xin ordered to set up a formation with the water on his back, facing the rebels in front. Seeing this from afar, Li Ying couldn't help laughing and said; "This Qin general is also incompetent, extremely incompetent, he actually set up a formation with his back, isn't this bringing the team to death, there is nowhere to run when the time comes, hahahaha."

After speaking, he said sharply; "Pass my general order, beat it with three drums, and the whole army will press it, and if there is a retreating immortal fighter, cut it."

The rebels put up a big banner, all of them left the camp, and swooped down on the Qin army formation in the distance with murderous spirit.

Han Xin rode in front of the formation and said loudly; "Behind us is the surging river, today we have no way to retreat, only desperately resist the rebel offensive can have a way to survive. I have received orders from the general, Wang Li, that he is sending a fine cavalry straight behind the rebels, and that if we hold off their main army, victory will be ours. ”

After speaking, Han Xin drew his sword, raised it and shouted; "Fight to the death to meet the enemy, Daqin will win."

The Qin army, which was in a desperate situation, burst out with all their combat strength, they were originally the regular army of Great Qin, and they did not lack training and armor, what they lacked was only the determination to fight to the death, and Han Xin's various actions were nothing more than to arouse their determination.

Relying on experience, the Qin army quickly set up a phalanx to meet the enemy, and the black Qin army's phalanx was like a rock, standing still in the brown rebel army's attack. The rebels attacked for an hour, and gradually exhausted, and the camp saw that it could not win, and that any further attack would only increase casualties, so it had to order the withdrawal of troops and return to the camp.

The large number of rebels turned around and retreated, and the Qin army did not pursue, but followed from a distance.

When the chaotic rebels returned to the camp, they were horrified to find that their camp had been planted with the Qin army's Heishui flag, and the camp was full of Qin troops standing guard with bows. It turned out that Han Xin had already sent Zhao Wuji to lead 400 cavalry to wander outside, and when he saw the righteous army pouring out, Zhao Wuji took advantage of the situation to capture the camp, planted the camp with Qin flags everywhere, and ordered all the soldiers to go to the wall with bows to bluff.

First, one person shouted and threw down his weapon and turned to run, and then ten, hundred, and thousand, and the rebels were in chaos, and the soldiers fled one after another. Li Ying, who was on guard in the rear army, saw that the front army was in chaos, and hurriedly rushed back to the front army to stop the momentum of escape.

At this time, Han Xin in the rear took advantage of the situation to cover up, and saw that the 'reinforcements' arrived and captured the rebel camp, the morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted, while the rebel army collapsed rapidly, and even Li Ying himself was killed by the Qin soldiers in the chaos.
