Chapter 241: Armageddon (1)

Lu Juan was afraid.

Not only him, but also the other Han army strategists also felt deep despair about the strength of the Qin army. This is a contest of national strength, and in this sense, the Han state founded by Liu Bang is completely incomparable to the vast Qin state.

"King Han, the bones of the captain are returned, the generals and soldiers in the army are in turmoil, and the generals at all levels are also talking about it, if they can't be suppressed, they are afraid that the whole army will collapse." Xiao He looked worried, and stood up and admonished.

As the prime minister of the Han Kingdom, Xiao He has worked hard and hard in the past year, and recruited a large amount of grain and straw in Nanjun and Nanyang County, which is a strange place, which gave Liu Bang a chance to make a comeback. Now, there is a lack of generals to lead the troops into battle, and Xiao He has to take on more responsibilities.

"Xiao Xiang, you will order to go down, open all the baggage warehouses, let the brothers eat enough, and then increase the bounty for killing Qin pawns by ten times, early tomorrow morning, I will personally go out to fight with Li Thief." Liu Bang vigorously wiped his eyes with the sleeves of his robe, and then said resolutely.

"My lord, this is absolutely unacceptable. The morale of our army is low, and if the war is unfavorableβ€”β€”! Lu Xuan, who was still in panic, was shocked and hurriedly admonished.

Liu Bangsen was colored, and shouted loudly: "Lu Xuan, you go to inform the generals and colonels that this battle is a battle of life and death for my Han Dynasty, and I, Liu Ji, should rush to the front and never retreat. ”

After crying, Liu Bang, the king of Han, finally calmed down, and when his eyes swept over the tent, he was disappointed to find that the generals of the Han army, who were once full of talents, were still standing in front of him, and only Xiahou Ying was left.

This is all caused by Li Yuan, a thief.

If you don't take revenge, when will you wait. When the weakening invaded the body year after year, and when the illness tortured the spirit again and again, Liu Bang actually had no way out.

Liu Bang's heavy oath made Xiahou Ying, Xiao He, Lu Juan and several others in the tent feel the desolation of the wind and the cold, but the difference was that Xiahou Ying's heart was excited. Liu Bang's gambling decisive battle, although in the eyes of Lu Juan and other strategists, the probability of winning is no more than fifty percent, but it is this move that makes Xiahou Ying feel a burst of warmth.

"Ah Ji, it hasn't changed, it's still the Peixian Pavilion Chief who makes people willing to die for him." Xiahou Ying's fanatical eyes followed Liu Bang's desolate figure, and he held the hilt of the sword with both hands but couldn't help trembling.

"Li Yuan, don't you want to see my Lao Liu's jokes? Come on, then, tomorrow. Let's take a look, it's my Han's banner fluttering, or your Qin people's banner waving. Liu Bang stood up, suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, and shouted loudly.

Xiao He looked at Liu Bang, the old brother, with a complicated expression, a long time after the incident of the White Snake in Mangdang Mountain, as Liu Bang's official position became bigger and bigger, the bloody nature that once made people sacrifice their lives in him gradually disappeared, and now. At a time when the Han Kingdom was facing a great threat, Liu Bang finally regained what he had lost.

Defending is also defeating.

If you don't keep it, you lose.

After calculating the strength of the Qin and Han sides, Liu Bang, who was in a difficult situation, made an unexpected decision.

The end of the strong crossbow cannot wear Lu Min.

Under the Qin army's winning streak, its performance was indeed unstoppable. But the generals fought hard repeatedly, and their exhaustion and energy had reached the limit, which was the reason for Liu Bang to find a decisive battle for his side.

——。

The Qin army battalion.

There was jubilation and festivities.

Motivated by the victory, Li Yuan ordered the addition of patrol troops. The whole army let go of the drink and celebrated the successful capture of Wancheng, as the first general to sacrifice the city. Chen Feng and his subordinates were also invited to the banquet. Facing a group of Qin generals who were once hostile, Chen Xuan's expression was a little unnatural, but fortunately, Li Yuanping's faint smile gradually stabilized his uneasy mood.

"General Chen, you are a general in the Han army, can you tell us what the real combat strength of the Han army is, in addition to the vanguard troops led by Guan Ying and Xiahou Ying, what other troops are there in the Han army that can be combated?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

Hearing Li Yuan's question, Chen Yu got up respectfully and said: "Marquis Wu, most of the various departments of the Han army are recruited by young people in the Jiangze area, these troops have only been in army for three or four months, and the weapons in their hands are not complete, and some of them are holding rudimentary weapons such as sticks, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the Great Qin Army. ”

The compliment in Chen Xuan's words was obvious, as a new general, he didn't understand Li Yuan's temperament, and Su Jiao, Han Xin and other Qin generals were eyeing each other, Chen Xuan naturally said good words one after another.

Li Yuan's face sank, and he suddenly changed color and said, "General Chen, is this to make a secret for Liu Ji?" Ben Hou knows this information in the Han army, and there is no need for the general to remind him again, and now, Ben Hou asks again, which other armies in the Han army are worthy of combat power, and what kind of characteristics they have. ”

Chen Xuan was frightened by Li Yuan's drink, his fair face immediately turned red and white for a while, and he thought for a while and said: "Yuwu Hou, as far as the last general knows, there is a part of Liu Bang's army from the Barbarian Yue, and the general headed by him is called Mei Juan, I heard that he was recruited from the Lingnan area, this person once fought with the Qin army in the southern expedition, and the last general heard them boast that even Tu Sui, the captain of the Qin State, was killed by an arrow when attacking this Barbarian tribe. ”

"Mei Juan, but are you from Shanyue in the Wuling area?" Li Yuan asked.

Chen Feng nodded and said: "It should be someone from this area, the five heroes of the Mei family, I heard that they are fierce generals under Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, if it weren't for Xiao He's heavy reward this time, Mei Juan would not have gone north." ”

The feast of the Qin camp lasted until very late, which was also a rare time, and after many days of nervous tension, the tension of the Qin army general was released on this night.

Starting tomorrow.

Their supply routes are no longer blocked, and reinforcements and baggage from Bashu, Guanzhong, and Sanchuan can be transported to Wancheng, the newly occupied transportation hub, and it is conceivable that in the near future, the military superiority of the Qin army in Nanjun will become more and more obvious.

The appearance of the Mei Five Heroes and the Shanyue people made Li Yuan frown involuntarily, as a general of the Qin State, it was impossible not to know Tu Sui's name.

Because, this is related to another elite Qin army in addition to the border army: the Great Qinling Lingnan Army.

This 500,000 army, composed of 200,000 elite troops of the Qin army, 200,000 prisoners, and 100,000 strong men from all over the country, unexpectedly chose to block the Wuling Pass after the outbreak of the anti-Qin turmoil, which made the Qin State capture Hangu Pass by the rebel army of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in time to be on guard, and almost occupied the capital Xianyang.

What is the situation in Lingnan?

In the case of the blockage of the passage, Li Yuan did not know, at best, he could only yujian, only a few records in the history books: after Ren Huan died of illness, Zhao Tuo succeeded him, and then sent troops to annex the South China Sea and Xiangjun, unified the Lingnan departments, and Zuihou established the Nanyue Dynasty in the Panyu area.

When the Qin army continued to pacify the princes in the south, what kind of actions would the degenerated Qin army, which had been independently seized by Zhao Tuo, feel that there was a completely different freshness after the expansion of the new territory.

Perhaps, it was time to send Lu Jia to Lingnan. No matter what Zhao Tuo thinks, at least, Li Yuan now has to understand what kind of attitude Zhao Tuo will have towards the reviving Qin State.

——。

Vertical day.

The Han army camp, which had retreated ten miles from Wollongong, sounded a terrible horn early in the morning, and groups of Han soldiers ran out of their tents, and under the urging of the generals and colonels of the headquarters, they began to set off as a whole.

Last night.

The large amount of grain, straw, and money that Sima received from the baggage camp in the army made the eyes of these humble soldiers who had never seen so many good things shine.

"The head of a Qin pawn will be rewarded with ten gold; The head of a Qin State Lieutenant-level officer, a reward of 100 gold; The head of a Qin general will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and if he can take the head of Li Yuan, the Shenwu Marquis of Qin State, he will be rewarded with 10,000 gold, given 10,000 acres of land, and will be exempted from payment for three years. ”

Under such stimulus measures, the low morale of the Han army swelled rapidly like blowing up balloons, and of course, this abnormal upsurge mostly occurred among the new soldiers and the barbarian troops from the south. For those veterans who have fought with the Qin army many times, and have been defeated and defeated repeatedly, no amount of excitement can arouse their desire to fight.

Life is the most important thing compared to the reward.

Liu Bang, the king of Han, got up early, put on his armor and hung a big sword at his waist, and stood on top of the chariot driven by Xiahou Ying himself, which was a gorgeous chariot pulled by eight healthy horses.

After Zhao Wuling Wang Hufu rode and arched, horseback combat gradually replaced the chariot and became the main means of transportation and combat assistance for the generals in the army, but for Liu Bang, who had inconvenient legs and feet, he still preferred the feeling of standing firmly in the chariot.

On Liu Bang's left flank.

It is a strange army that is somewhat similar to the Ba people in the Qin army, and its whole body is painted with various colors, this is the Manyue tribe from the Wuling area, which is the army of Mei Juan mentioned by Chen Feng and Li Yuan.

——。

The Han army unexpectedly went into battle!

Upon hearing this news, Li Yuan was surprised at the same time, but he couldn't help but admire Liu Bang's courage.

The person who can become the founding ancestor will not be a weak person, Liu Bang has shown his wisdom and tenacity in the previous encounters, and now, his tenacity and unyielding have also been revealed.

"Order all the departments to go to battle as a whole army!" Li Yuan shouted.

After receiving Li Yuan's order, generals such as Han Xin, Cao Xin, Su Jiao, and Meng Hu were also gearing up and eager to try, and the two juniors Feng Xuan and Zhang Ping were in the limelight before, making them envious of those who thought they were proud generals in the Qin army.

A long-awaited Armageddon is actually what Li Yuan wants. If Liu Bang had been hiding, it would take at least half a year for the Qin army to completely sweep away the anti-Qin Liliang in the Nanjun area, which was an unaffordable time for the Qin State, which was shrouded in the huge shadow of the Xiongnu.

Now, the Qin army occupies the leading position in terms of troops, morale and jishu, and in terms of commanding generals, it is also much richer than the few remaining generals and colonels of Liu Bang, Li Yuan is confident that he will win his own dignity in this decisive battle that will determine the fate of Qin and Han.
