Chapter 303: Who Fights
In August, the autumn breeze rises.
The cold wind from Mobei began to patronize the fields and cottages in Yandi, blowing the empty huts to the west. Compared with Handan and Daijun, which are gradually living across the water, the situation in Yandi is like a ghost domain.
After waiting for a long time, the coalition army, with the Qin army as the backbone and the Changshan army and the Chu army as the branches and leaves, marched in unison, and pressed towards the Huns of Youyan with wild and unstoppable momentum.
The battle in Luanshui was unfavorable, Yuyang was defeated, and the Chu army in Jixian County was also desperately trying to break through, and the Huns, who were still in a good situation not long ago, suddenly became a fragmented tragedy under the rare concerted efforts of all the princes of the Central Plains.
On the 17th, more than 40,000 men of the Central Route Army of the coalition army crossed Yishui, leaving behind this bleak and bleak demarcation river.
"Great Qin, Great Qin!"
"The world is in turmoil, He An Kangning, Qin Youruishi, who competes!"
I don't know when it began, among the coalition forces, among the troops dominated by the Qin army, some generals began to sing loudly, and the battle song gradually changed from the most pathetic and deep "Old Qin, restore my rivers and mountains, blood does not drain, death does not truce" to the domineering "Qin has sharp soldiers, who fights" This paragraph.
From the faces of the generals of the Qin army, Li Yuan could clearly see the pride and pride in their hearts.
Easy water gushing.
The story of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin has long become the dust of history, and no one mentions it anymore.
In the face of the Xiongnu, the common enemy of the Central Plains countries, who had fought for several lifetimes and stood side by side, and as the commander who led this coalition army, Li Yuan felt pressured and extremely proud.
The gap between the coach and the manager is only a little bit, but the difficulties and tests they face. But it's much bigger. The gap between commanding a hastily assembled combined army and leading a Qin army that knew itself and knew its opponent was so great that Li Yuan almost gave up.
The so-called coalition is a combination of various interest groups, and a group of communities that are entangled with each other for temporary interests and purposes.
Inside the coalition forces.
Each shili has its own demands.
Even the Chang Shan Army, who was most eager to rescue the Chu army, also had interests appealing, and Zhong Liwu hoped to act as a vanguard in the attack, so as to repay Xiang Yu's original promotion, and the Chang Shan army was willing to take the lead. This was originally a good thing, but the problem was that Zhong Liwu proposed that his army's equipment was too poor, and asked Li Yuan to exchange some of the Qin army's standard weapons and battle armor for Changshan Army.
Although the hostility between the Qin State and the Changshan Marquis State has been eliminated, the estrangement still exists, and in this case, providing weapons to the Changshan Army is in the eyes of the Qin people. It's no different from a capital enemy. And if Zhong Liwu's requirements are not met, the coalition army will inevitably look like a god, and whether Li Yuan's order can be obeyed by Changshan Army still needs to be said.
Definitely can't give it all. Unless Zhong Liwu agrees to surrender to the Qin State, he can't give it, and if he doesn't pull out a dime, the officers and soldiers of the Changshan Army will have resentment against the Qin army.
The strongest Qin State wants to completely control this liliang. It requires not only strong military support, but also great political skill.
In order to do a better job of coordination, Li Yuan had to be angry. After holding several internal meetings and repeatedly explaining the situation at the front to Chen Ping, Li Zheng and others who stayed behind, the Qin army provided the Changshan army with 3,000 battle armor and bronze sword halberds.
With the gradual maturity of the iron smelting process of the three major armies, the Qin army also began to replace weapons and armor in batches, and in the era of the gradual popularization of iron applications, the original bronze weapons began to withdraw from the Qin army's equipment sequence.
The needs of the Changshan army were calmed, and most of the contradictions within the coalition army were resolved, as for the five hundred soldiers of the Wei army, they were completely running to play soy sauce, Wei Bao only sent a captain to lead the team, and as soon as he arrived in Daijun, this guy who was greedy for life and afraid of death pretended to be sick, and the five hundred Wei army was like scattered sheep, and they acted nonsense in Daijun, and Zuihou or Li Yuan gave an order to directly arrest these Wei pawns and put them in prison, which ended the absurd performance of the Wei people.
After settling the internal strife.
Li Yuan immediately led the middle route army to cross the Yishui to the north, in order to prevent the main force of the coalition army from approaching Jixian, Mao Dun instructed the right valley Liwang Xu Buhun to lead the troops to meet the attack, but did not want to, Xu Buhun because of the disadvantage of the bait troops of the Qin army in Luanshui, repeatedly mobilized the generals under his command to the Luanshui battlefield, which made Li Yuan's army face to face, except for some small tribes of stragglers, there was no large-scale Xiongnu tribe to block and exist.
When Xu Buhun came back to his senses and found that he had been hit by the timing of the tiger leaving the mountain, the main force of the Qin army had already arrived within a distance of only more than 100 miles from Jixian County.
Once the Qin and Chu armies converged, the 100,000 Xiongnu army surrounding Jixian was likely to be attacked from both sides, although the Huns still had an advantage in terms of total strength, but the fierceness of the Qin army still made Xu Buhun feel a chill in his back.
In fact, no matter how hard Li Yuan exerts his strength, as long as he thinks of Da Shan Yu Mao Dun's cold eyes staring at him, Xu Buhun has a cold feeling that his head is not on his neck.
Shocked.
Xu Buhun hurriedly withdrew the siege of Luanshui, and hurriedly led more than 20,000 soldiers of his tribe to the south, relying on strong horsepower, Xu Buhun finally blocked Li Yuanjun before Mao Dun took his head.
The siege of Luanshui was immediately resolved.
Gan Yong, who had completed the task and was exhausted from fighting, was still resting in place, and the Huns could pull out the camp and leave, but they could not walk away with the main foot soldiers.
There are many injuries and illnesses on the Yan people who have been gathered, and it is not good to run long distances, and the Qin army is stationed in the dangerous place of Luanshui, and the protective surface of the crossbow soldiers is very small, so the Huns have no choice, once they leave, in case Xu Buhun kills a horse gun, and under the enemy on all sides, Gan Yong is worried that the Qin army will collapse all of a sudden.
"Ma Jin, you lead the generals of your headquarters, as well as those Yan people who defected to the east, from the waterway to the east, according to the scheduled Jihua, General Han Xin's right army should be not far downstream of Luanshui." Gan Yong looked at the wolf tent abandoned by the Huns, and felt unwilling and irritable in his heart.
"General, what about you?" Ma Jin asked in a daze.
"Su Buhun has bullied us for so long, if this account is settled like this, it can't be done, you just wait, see that I take Su Buhun's head and come back." Gan Yong shouted with confidence.
Among the generals of the Qin army, Gan Yong was the youngest and most trusted by Li Yuan.
In the past, every time he went to war, Gan Yong's troops were part of the charging trap, but this time, as a decoy force, Gan Yong really felt the difficulties and difficulties of the battlefield.
This is a stage that he must go through in the process of growing up, and only by going through it can he bear more pressure when he leads the army independently in the future.
Ma Jin watched Gan Yong leave with a group of fat soldiers, his heart was full of envy, once upon a time, he was just as young, and he was the same as he could not look back for the ideal in his heart.
"Let's go!" Ma Jin shouted, pulled the horse and turned back, he was middle-aged, he no longer had such a bloody impulse, and some were calm and calm.
The reason why Gan Yong was able to leave with peace of mind was that he believed that Ma Jin would be able to handle the follow-up matters, which was a heavy trust, and Ma Jin understood it in his heart.
――。
Jixian battlefield.
The momentum of the Chu army's breakthrough is getting weaker and weaker.
The generals of the Chu army, who only relied on two feet to run, finally felt the fatigue brought by hunger after getting through the momentum of the initial stage, although Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang and other generals kept boosting their morale, they still couldn't let them advance more.
"Hey, Xiang Zhuang, you take the team to the south, pro-cavalry, and follow me to the Hun king's tent." Xiang Yu roared angrily, pulled out the black cone horse, and wanted to lead his own cavalry to counterattack the Hun cavalry formation.
"Overlord, this is absolutely impossible, if you have three longs and two shorts, how can Zhuang go back to see Xiangguo and his wife?" Xiang Zhuang shouted urgently.
"Xiang Zhuang, this is an order, your task is to take everyone out to kill, as long as you can meet with the reinforcements and then kill back, at this time, who can take this life of my Xiang Ji." Xiang Yu shouted, and without looking back, he led more than a thousand Chu horsemen to meet the location of the Xiongnu Chinese army.
The domineering Xiang Yu, after a period of low ebb after being besieged, finally found himself on the battlefield again, what he said was right.
In this battlefield of the era of cold weapons, it is not easy to take his Xiang Yu's life.
Xiang Zhuang and a group of Chu army generals looked at Xiang Yu's figure rushing into the enemy formation with respect, and at this moment, their tired bodies suddenly regained their vitality.
I have to admit it.
Xiang Yu's invincible and heroic performance on the battlefield did multiply the combat power of the Chu army's generals one by one, which may be a level that Xiang Zhuang will never reach.
"Da Chu, Da Chu, break through!" Xiang Zhuang exclaimed.
Time, for the Chu army, is the most precious. Every minute of delay may put Xiang Yu and his subordinates in danger one more point.
The Chu soldiers who were determined to break through shouted one by one, gasped, and rushed towards the weak point of the Hun encirclement desperately.
"Xiang Zhuang is here, who dares to fight!" Xiang Zhuang's eyes were red and shouted, he was also riding a black horse, wearing a red robe and holding a halberd, and his appearance was no different from that of his cousin Xiang Yu, except that he was one size smaller.
"Who dares to fight!" The shouting soldiers of the Chu army were unstoppable, and they ran desperately, hoping to use a little of their liliang to win a chance to survive for their hero, the overlord Xiang Yu.
Because they know that the safety of the Chu State is tied to Xiang Yu.
If everyone else returned, but Xiang Yu died on the battlefield, this result would be more serious than the annihilation of the entire Chu army, and a country without a backbone was destined to have no future.
Once Xiang Yu died, Mo said that it was the Qin State, even a thief like Huang Bu and Peng Yue, and he would not take the Western Chu State regime in his eyes, and when the time came, the Chu State would be attacked on all sides and fall apart internally, and Xiang Zhuang did not think that he had the ability to clean up this mess.
