Chapter 182: The Battle of Tiger Prison Pass (7)
Fortunate.
It always comes to those who are prepared, and Li Yuan is convinced of this.
When he saw Wang Shang and Zhang Ping's team rushing over from the back mountain, Li Yuan knew that in this fight with Xiang Yu, he was still the unshakable victor.
Not because of God's favor, but because of more foresight than the other party.
Up and down the Qin army, because of the arrival of reinforcements, the morale was greatly boosted, and the roaring Qin soldiers began to force the opponent with unparalleled momentum.
At the end of the strong crossbow, it is impossible to wear Lu Min.
The tense Chu army finally collapsed, not only ordinary soldiers, but also some generals, but also felt deep despair, the Qin army in front of them, these Qin soldiers, like Xiao Qiang who can never be killed, killed one after another, and pounced again, this kind of battle method that is not afraid of life and death, in the Qin army that once had a brilliant record, the Chu people have felt it, and now, they are desperate to find that the unyielding old Qin people are back.
"Overlord, where?" Chu pulled Zhou Lan past a broken Xiang Yu pawn and shouted.
"It's on the high slope of the mountaintop." Before the soldiers could answer completely, Zhou Lan led a group of generals to run towards the top of the mountain as if fleeing.
Rendezvous with Xiang Yu, of course Zhou Lan was not for another meritorious service, he just felt that he couldn't fight, and since he couldn't fight again, it was better to retreat early.
――。
It's weird.
At the moment when the Qin and Chu armies were killed, Xiang Yu and Li Yuan, the two main generals, although they met, did not fight, and they said few words to each other, saying all the hardships on the road to hegemony.
Li Yuankong memorized the name of the second generation of the rich and handsome, but in essence, he was a grassroots who could no longer be grassy. As for Xiang Yu, although Xiang Liang and Xiang were behind him, he was almost overthrown by bombastic conspirators like Xiong Xin and Song Yi.
"Li Yuan. If you dare to surrender. Xiang promised you the title of princes. How is it? Xiang Yu's eyes showed a complicated look of appreciation, and the young man opposite saw it for the first time. It's not inconspicuous, it's just an ordinary general of the Qin army, but it's a real competition. only to find out that this person acted really wildly, and there was no trace of him.
Surrender - .
This overlord Xiang Yu really has a heart of pity for heroes, cruelty to ordinary people, and benevolence to the people who look at him, such a Xiang Yu, acting in a way that is really speechless, no wonder Lao Liu was defeated by Xiang Yu again and again in history, and he was able to survive and be resurrected.
"If you want to fight, you will fight, why should the overlord talk too much?" Li Yuan sneered, but his feet did not move. Rather for the head of the chicken. Not for the queen of the cow. finally struggled for the next foundation, and had a brother who died with all beings. Li Yuan naturally couldn't be interested in working for Xiang Yu, not to mention, Xiang Yu was still a short-lived boss.
Mountains and rocks.
It's a natural battlefield.
The overhanging cliffs and cliffs in the mountains are more rugged and steep than ordinary flat land, and for Li Yuan, who has practiced fighting under special conditions, flexibility and adaptability are the advantages he can have compared with Xiang Yu, and of course it is better to use them.
"Do you really think that you can escape under a certain sword? Aren't princes and kings enough? Xiang Yu was very ashamed and angry, and shouted angrily. In Xiang Yu's heart, the princes of the Seventeenth Road, which one is not a hero, and crowning a junior of Li Yuan as the king is already his greatest reward.
"The princes, the overlord is really generous, it's just what Li wants, and the overlord can't give it. Speaking of which, in today's battle in the Tiger Prison, Qin Chu was defeated and injured, and only one person was cheaper. Li Yuan smiled indifferently and said lightly.
Xiang Yu's appreciation, for Li Yuan, is just a feather on the top of Mount Tai, whether there is or not, it will not affect the others, because Xiang Yu is bent on going his own way, and the current Qin and Chu armies have a deep grudge and can no longer be unraveled.
"Who?" Xiang Yu stared at him and asked.
Although Li Yuan is an opponent, he is a figure that Xiang Yu admires, and even if Xiang Yu does not accept what such a person says, he will take it to heart.
"Didn't King Han send you a letter, he will raise troops to go out of the military pass and attack the rear of our army from Nanyang County, at this time, I think he has already sharpened his sword in Nanyang, didn't the overlord find out any news?" Li Yuan replied with a mocking smile.
For Xiang Yu's brainlessness, he is really too lazy to persuade him, the person who is fooled and helps the people to count the money is either a hero or a stupid, Xiang Yu is this kind of person.
"You-!" Xiang Yu was angry and was questioned by a junior, which was a long time since he had heard such a contradiction.
During this period of smooth sailing, his temper became bigger and bigger, and he gradually began to disobey the advice of his subordinates. And what made him even more ashamed was that after thinking about it carefully, this battle of Tiger Prison Pass was desperate, and it was really possible to make a wedding dress for Liu Bang, according to Liu Bang's thick black style, once he was let out of Hanzhong, it would be extremely difficult for Xiang Yu to drive him back again.
Xiang Yu, who can be called the overlord by the princes from all walks of life, was just fascinated by the touting for a while, and when he gradually understood what Li Yuan said, the war spirit in his heart couldn't help but fade.
If the battle continues, what is the effect, can you kill Li Yuan and not to mention, even if the Qin army is defeated, the Chu army will also be greatly injured, in case Liu Bang really makes a comeback, with a group of tired Chu soldiers, a few wounded generals, what role can it play.
Mountaintop.
The Qin Army's Zhongjun Daxu is still fluttering, its existence inspires one after another Qin soldiers to move forward bravely, its existence has given them confidence and liliang, not for anything else, because it represents Li Yuan, the new prince of Great Qin, is still insisting on fighting and has not given up.
In this era of cold weapons, the role of the main general, more in terms of strategy and morale, such as Xiang Yu like Xiang Deng to go into battle after all, even Xiang Yu, after becoming the leader of the princes, basically no longer go to the front line, this decisive battle with Li Yuan, is also Xiang Yu's first battle since the Julu War.
"Li Hou-!" A shout came, Wang Shang ran with a team of soldiers sweating profusely, and finally saw Li Yuanhao alive and alive, his frightened face turned pale for a while.
For him, who started from the end of the micro and whose name is only Wang Laoliu, Li Yuan is the sky and everything. Without Li Yuan's support, how could he, a pawn in the Qin army, become a high-ranking general in command of an army like he is today, and still be able to make a tough opponent fail repeatedly.
"This is your subordinate, good, good, I hope that one day, we can fight well without any ties." Xiang Yu "choked" and put his sword into the sheath, nodded at Li Yuan, and strode around to get down.
All the way.
Although it was the Qin army generals who blocked the front, Xiang Yu seemed to be unconscious, passing by their side, facing this man who was like no one around and extremely brave, no one had the courage to step forward to stop him, for ordinary Qin army generals, such a plague god only hoped to get better and better.
"Overlord, I'll give you another word, Pengcheng is in danger, go back quickly!" Li Yuan stared at Xiang Yu's somewhat lonely back, and suddenly, a wave of sadness and bitterness welled up in his heart.
Xiang Yu is an arrogant and lonely man.
There are personalities, there are shortcomings.
But it is true, not hypocritical, not pretentious, appreciate a person if you appreciate a person, and dislike a person if you hate a person, such a hero died prematurely, leaving only a song to add to the sadness.
"Thank you!" Xiang Yu didn't look back, but just waved his hand at Zhou Lan, Ji Bu and other generals who were still fighting, signaling the Chu army to disengage and the whole army to retreat!
After Wang Shang killed, Zhang Ping, who solved the Ji Xin troops, also joined the battle group, and the situation of the Chu army became more and more unfavorable, although there were still Yu Ziqi, Ding Gong's two tribes, and some miscellaneous liliang of the small princes in the Chu camp outside the pass, but these soldiers who were frightened by the cruel battle situation let them guard the camp It is estimated that they can, let them attack the pass full of dead people, but I am afraid that no general will take the general's order.
The Chu army retreated like a tide.
This fierce battle made the Chu army lose nearly 10,000 elite soldiers, not counting the disappearance or death of a large number of generals like Ji Xin, Guan Jian is the Chu army under Ji Bu has always been the main force charging into battle, and their losses also made Xiang Yu lose the ability to continue to attack in a short period of time.
As the defending side, the Qin army undoubtedly took advantage of this strong offensive battle with a huge disparity in strength. Added up, the Qin army suffered more than 2,700 casualties, including: in the first battle of the ambush on Ji Xin, Wang Shang and Zhang Ping cooperated tacitly, and at the cost of less than 50 people, they completely annihilated Ji Xin's interspersed troops; In the Battle of Pass, the greatest casualty of the Chu army did not come from the strong attack of the Zuihou moment, but the previous hopeless and meaningless battle of filling the pass.
Looking up, seeing the broken Qin army still fluttering on the top of the Tiger Prison Pass, Li Yuan couldn't help but think about the ups and downs.
Finally got through it again!
This kind of process of breaking through the danger made Li Yuan painful and happy again and again.
This fierce battle in Tiger Prison began in early July and lasted for ten days. Although it was not long, in terms of the intensity of the battle, it was more brutal than any war that Li Yuan had experienced before.
Battlefield.
Fast changing.
The pre-arranged jihua always seems to be a little disconnected from reality.
Han Xin's Northern Expeditionary Force did not know what the battle situation was on the north bank of the Great River, and in the face of the encirclement of Zhong Liwu, Zhang Er, Zhao Xie and other princes, I don't know if he could fight a bloody way and create a world for the Qin army in Hebei.
As for the plan to oppose Jiujiang Hou Yingbu, I don't know if Zhaoping's lobbying was successful, but Yingbu is also a hero, what he will think and do, Li Yuan has no way of knowing, what Zuihou said to Xiang Yu is actually just a premonition in his heart.
Yingbu should not give up this rare opportunity.
Note: The battle of the Tiger Prison has come to an end, and the following has entered the chaotic battle of the Central Plains. xiexie! (To be continued.) )
