Chapter 137 The Dispersion of the Chu Army
readx;
Xiang Zhuang didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info To be honest, he was also very unbelievable about the appointment given to him by Xiang Yu, because when he heard that Xiang Yu appointed him to command the operation of the army, he thought of one thing, that is, it was unlikely that he would be able to complete the task given to him by Xiang Yu.
It's a pity that he put forward the idea that he was not suitable for this task, and he did not get Xiang Yu's support. And what Xiang Yu said to him at that time made him feel very sad for Xiang Yu.
This sentence is: "Brother Zhuang, there is no one more suitable for this matter than you at the moment." ā
Xiang Yu is not wrong in a sense, that is, Xiang Yu is now, indeed, in many ways, there is no one more trusted by him than Xiang Zhuang.
Even his own uncle Xiang Tang and Xiang Tuo, whom he valued very much, betrayed him and even betrayed the glory of being a Xiang clan, and gave up Pengcheng and most of Chudi, which made Xiang Yu feel that he was betrayed by the most trusted person at the same time, he also had a deep sense of powerlessness.
After knowing that Peng Cheng was entangled by Xiang and Xiang Tuo was dedicated to Qin Dog, his heart was very angry, he didn't expect that such a thing was for him, and he himself also had a great responsibility, he blamed other people for his current predicament.
In his heart, Xiang Zhuang has become one of the few people who he thinks will never betray him, so he entrusts the last strength of his subordinates to Xiang Zhuang, and he believes that Xiang Zhuang can do such a thing well.
To be honest, even Xiang Zhuang thought that it was impossible for him to do this, and he thought more that this was Xiang Zhuang's modesty. What Xiang Yu didn't expect was that this was not Xiang Zhuang's modest mentality, but Xiang Zhuang really thought that he couldn't do this kind of thing.
It's a pity that Xiang Zhuang's truth has not been taken seriously by him.
And Xiang Zhuang can be said to be quite exhausted during this period of time.
The disobedience of some personnel in the camp has caused the morale of the officers and soldiers in the camp to fluctuate, this is still a trivial matter, and their food supply is becoming more and more scarce, this problem Xiang Zhuang also thinks that if he gambles hard, he will naturally be able to get rid of such a predicament, but in the face of the siege of more and more Qin officers and soldiers, he can think that even if he does anything now, it is too late.
And Xiang Zhuang, who looked extremely haggard, didn't expect that he would encounter something that made him even more helpless and was about to happen to him.
......
Xiang Zhuang was thinking about how much success he would have if he led the Chu officers and soldiers who were willing to follow him to launch a breakthrough operation against the Qin army, but what he didn't expect was that at this time, the five hundred lords who should be leading the troops to take charge of the defense of the southern camp gate rushed in with a big change in face.
He didn't know why this five hundred lord, who was also his henchman, broke into his tent with a big change in face, but then, before he could ask anything, after hearing the words of the five hundred lord, Xiang Zhuang sat weakly in front of the map in the tent:
"General, the Qin people have found a lot of civilians, and they are driving these civilians closer to the camp!"
Xiang Zhuang, who was slumped on the ground, couldn't help but feel a touch of bitterness in his heart, because no matter what these Qin dogs planned to do to drive these civilians away, it would not be a good thing in general.
And after Xiang Zhuang sat on the ground for a while, he slowly stood up, and then looked at his henchman Five Hundred Lord, and muttered a sentence: "I want to see what Qin Gou wants to do! If they dare to drive these civilians to launch an offensive against the camp and then launch an attack, I, Xiang Zhuang, should make them pay a considerable price!!
............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................
If the commanders of the several Qin army units besieging the Chu army camp knew Xiang Zhuang's last roar, they would also have a mocking smile in their hearts, because they had never thought that they would do such a thing.
Because they know Zhang Jiashi's consistent style very well, if Zhang Jiashi knows about this situation, no matter how the battle is won or lost, or how brilliant the results are, it would be strange if Zhang Jiashi didn't take them under the knife.
Of course, the thoughts in the minds of the commanders of the various units of the Qin army, who knew such a situation, were also more complicated, because in their hearts, such a strategy could be regarded as even more immoral in a sense. Of course, they wouldn't say that.
First, because they don't want Zhang Jiashi to know that they are slandering this kind of strategy, so that Zhang Jiashi can trouble them or make their future bleak, and secondly, they think that one of Zhang Jiashi's purposes is very reasonable, that is, whether it is a black cat or a white cat, the one who can catch mice is a good cat.
They naturally hope that they can serve as a "good cat" under Zhang Jiashi, and seek happiness for themselves and their children and grandchildren.
In front of Zhang Liang, the Qianshou of 10,000 people was slowly and cautiously advancing, and three or four hundred meters behind them was the array of Qin troops under the command of Zang Tu.
Of course, although it is said that the officers and soldiers under Zang Tu's command have made corresponding combat preparations, but without the orders of Zang Tu and Zhang Liang, these officers and soldiers will not act easily.
And although these Qiantou are traveling quite slowly, Zhang Liang and the others have no impatience in their hearts, because if this kind of thing makes these people rush over in a swarm, it will be called a strange thing.
Zang Di's expression was a little complicated, although he did not plan to take the corresponding opportunity to let his officers and soldiers follow these Qiantou to launch an offensive against the Chu army camp, but there was an idea in his heart that he did not say directly, that is, Zhang Liang and others had said a way to deal with the Chu soldiers in the camp once the "embattled" strategy failed after the failure of the "embattled" strategy, these Chu Qiantou officers and soldiers in the camp were coerced, and counterattacked their formation.
This method is also very simple, that is, to kill these people who dare to attack the battle array. Whether it is these Qianshou or the Chu army, as long as they dare to approach a certain range of the battle formation, then what awaits them will be a counterattack by the officers and soldiers under Zang Tu's command.
And not only that, if this kind of result really happens, even if others don't want to see it, then the Qin officers and soldiers in several other directions will also be pressed on it, so that these Chu officers and soldiers know what is called a rolling attack.
Therefore, in Zang Di's heart, he didn't want these Qiantou to have a lot of casualties under his men.
He was not afraid that Zhang Jiashi would be held accountable in this situation, but that he did not want the officers and soldiers under his command and his hands to be stained with the blood of too many innocent people.
Therefore, if it is possible, Zang Tu does not want this situation to happen, because he does not have too many feelings for these Qianshou, but it does not mean that he has really become a rather cold-blooded person. You must know that although the officers and soldiers under his command have gradually become official Qin officers and soldiers in recent years, their essence is still a civilian soldier.
He couldn't help but glance at Zhang Liang next to him, and after thinking for a while, he asked Zhang Liang: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know if this strategy will fail?"
Zhang Liang heard Zang Di's words and smiled slightly: "Captain Zang, any kind of strategy, no matter how subtle and flawless it looks, will have the possibility of failure, and this strategy is naturally no exception. Zhang knew that for Zang Duwei, what would happen after the strategy failed, Zang Duwei naturally did not want to see it. And Zhang also doesn't want this to happen. But Zhang is confident that these people, as well as the Chu officers and soldiers in the camp, should know what kind of results they need. ā
After Zhang Liang said these words, he didn't continue to pay attention to Zang Di, but secretly thought in his heart: "Xiang Zhuang has no other choice, he should know very well that as long as they order to attack these Qiantou, then they will lose the last loyalty of these Chu people and these Chu officers and soldiers whose families are in the Chu area." Xiang Zhuang will not make this kind of choice that will do all kinds of harm and no benefit. ā
......
Perhaps, just as Zhang Liang thought, after less than a short while, Xiang Zhuang's face became more and more pale after seeing the head of Qian, who continued to advance towards his position.
He knew from the distance between these advancing Qiantou and the Qin army troops in the distance behind these Qiantou that the other party did not intend to use these Qiantou to launch a large-scale onslaught on their camp, but Xiang Zhuang's mind was very bad, because he felt that the arrival of these Qiantou was not a good thing.
He also couldn't order the officers and soldiers under his command to attack these Qiantou, because as long as he ordered to attack these Qiantou who were likely to be the people of Chudi, then his fate was likely to be directly divided by the officers and soldiers who really rioted.
Such an outcome is not what he hoped to see. But he can say that he has no choice, but he did not choose this way at this time, he is waiting for the next move of these leaders.
......
Not only Xiang Zhuang, but even Zhang Liang, Yu Jian and other Qin officers and soldiers were waiting for the next move of these Qiantou leaders. Because for these leaders, their actions will directly change this strategy and the final outcome of this operation.
Under the gaze of many people, these Qiantou stopped at a distance of about 300 meters to the south of the Chu army camp, and many of them looked at some people who knew how to play some Chu instruments, and gradually took out their own musical instruments.
After the melodious sound of Chudi musical instruments sounded, these Chudi personnel gradually followed the tune and sang Chudi-style folk songs.
Although the singing was a little mixed, after more and more Qianshou joined the singing queue, these folk songs still entered the ears of these Chu officers and soldiers.
Xiang Zhuang naturally heard the sound of these folk songs, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, because he seemed to think about what these Qin dogs were planning.
But when he looked at the officers and soldiers guarding the camp around him, he saw that many Chu officers and soldiers were originally a little haggard and tired, and they seemed to be swept away because of the sound of songs.
Many of them wept and got up from the ground, or from the tents, some of them were disheveled, and gradually walked towards the place.
Subsequently, some Chu officers and soldiers involuntarily sang these Chu folk songs, and even some picked up the musical instruments they had collected around them and began to play them.
It can be said that such a situation gradually caused more and more Chu officers and soldiers to gather.
And Xiang Zhuang watched all this happen weakly, because he knew that he had no way to change the situation.
......
More and more Chu officers and soldiers came to the guardrail of the camp in this direction, not to mention weapons in their hands, and more people did not even have their own armor and helmets ready. In such a situation, many people start to grab the planks of the guardrail, and they are eager to go and see if their loved ones are inside.
But after many people saw Xiang Zhuang standing next to the camp gate, they couldn't help but retreat, because beside Xiang Zhuang, there were also a lot of well-armed robes.
Perhaps seeing such a situation, the meticulous work sent by Chen Ping to the Chu army quickly knew what he should do.
After they made eye contact, they whimpered to the people around them in the tone of Pengcheng: "I seem to have heard my mother's singing, I want to go home, my brother has died outside Jimo, if I also die in this place, then what should my mother do???"
Although there are many flaws in this detailed work, if it weren't for the fact that he was indeed from the Xu County area, and the officers and soldiers who were originally under the command of Xu Gong in the Yuzi period, the accent was also biased towards the Pengcheng area, otherwise there would be more flaws.
But at such a time now, few people will take such a thing seriously, because of this meticulous work, many Chu officers and soldiers seem to hear the singing of their relatives.
Under such circumstances, more and more Chu officers and soldiers were enveloped by an emotion called family affection. And then more and more people said something similar, that is, they were going to look for their loved ones.
However, the camp gate is guarded by Xiang Zhuang and nearly 200 Xiang Zhuang's henchmen, and in such a situation, it is not so easy to leave this camp tent.
And a Chu army commander gritted his teeth, and he roared loudly: "Everyone, although I am a small official, I am still willing to negotiate with General Xiang Zhuang for everyone, and I hope that General Xiang Zhuang can let everyone who intends to leave be accommodating!"
"But this big brother, if General Xiang Zhuang doesn't allow it, what should we do?" a Chu soldier couldn't help but say his thoughts sadly.
And after hearing the words of this little soldier of the Chu army, the tun chief hesitated slightly, but then he thought of his elderly parents and his wife and children, hoping to return to his family quickly, so he couldn't help but make a decision, that is, he said loudly: "If General Xiang Zhuang doesn't allow it, then we will ...... Kill it!"
