Chapter 0231: The Only One Who Has Defeated Xiang Yu
Just half a day later, Qi County, which was originally peaceful and peaceful, was immediately enveloped by a battle formation!
The gates of the city, which had been unimpeded, were closed day and night; The hundreds of county soldiers and village warriors in Qi County, who were already small, also climbed to the city wall of Qi County with their own weapons, and all of them were terrified to explore the news outside the city.
Half a day ago, the western suburbs of Qi County, where Liu Yingzhong's army was still stationed, were even more in a mess.
But fortunately, with the departure of Liu Yingzhongjun's big tent, the Huainan thief army that came at a gallop did not stop around Qi County, but followed the direction of Liu Yingzhongjun's 'escape' and left towards Huizhen west of Qi County.
Seeing the thieves coming and going, tens of thousands of people in Qi County were secretly relieved.
But for Liu Yingzhongjun, who hurriedly 'fled', the real danger has just begun······
·
In the autumn and August of the eleventh year of the Han Dynasty, Ding Chou (fourteen), north of Huiyong, Yongcheng.
Looking at the slowly closing city gates, as well as the banners and banners erected on the city, Liu Ying's face showed no panic at all.
"Whew~"
"It's finally here······"
With a comfortable sigh, Liu Ying moved her ridiculous gaze to her uncle Lu Shizhi beside her.
And at this moment, on Lu Shizhi's face, there is no trace of the stability that a nobleman should have.
"Huh······"
Looking down and smiling, Liu Ying turned sideways, as if caring, and as if teasingly, she touched Lu Shizhi with her elbow.
"How?"
"The army has moved into Yongcheng, uncle, why is it still in shock?"
Hearing Liu Ying's question, Lu Shizhi's face only tightened suddenly, and he hurriedly raised his head, just wanting to defend himself.
When he saw Liu Ying's side, Li Shang and Jin She both looked at him with an inexplicable strange look, and Lu Shizhi couldn't help but pause again.
hummed and chirped for a long time, and when he rushed to his mouth, he was finally forcibly swallowed back into his stomach by Lu Shizhi.
"Your Highness is joking, laughing ······"
Seeing that Lu Shizhi still didn't forget to wipe the cold sweat from the corners of his forehead, Liu Ying didn't tease anymore, but put on a solemn face and looked at Li Shang on his side.
"How?"
"According to Qu Zhouhou's opinion, Huainan thieves, can it all be here?"
Seeing that Liu Yinggang had just experienced an emergency escape, but there was no 'palpitation' on his face, Li Shang only nodded secretly.
"This concentration alone has the posture of His Majesty seven or eighth······"
After making a 'reliable' evaluation of Liu Ying in his heart, Li Shang turned around, raised the thumb of his right hand, closed his left eye, and gestured outside the city for a while.
I don't know how long it took to see Li Shang put down his hand with a stern expression, slapped his palm heavily on the wall, and let out a low sigh at the same time.
"Elite~"
"The elite of the brave and good at fighting!"
said a word full of determination, and saw Li Shang turning sideways with a wry smile and nodding his head at Liu Ying.
"The thief ran west from Qi County and chased here, but he did not hesitate to work hard, detoured to the south of Yongcheng and camped, so that he was close to Huaishui, and he could leave a back road - once there was something, the thief could cross the Huaishui and go south, and then enter Jing and Huainan."
"What's more, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the thieves camp in the south of Yongcheng, so that they can attack Yongcheng regardless of the morning and dusk, without worrying about the dazzling sunlight."
As he spoke, Li Shang slowly turned his head again, and pointed at the black military camp outside the city.
"The thieves camped twenty to thirty miles south of Yongcheng, and fifteen miles wide from east to west."
"So it will be a great camp ten miles wide and fifteen miles long."
"According to the old minister's opinion, such a large battalion can accommodate soldiers, no less than 100,000!"
After saying that, Li Shang finally smiled bitterly on his face, and let out a long sigh full of feelings.
"Alas~"
"It's a pity that such a strong army cannot be used by the Han family to retake Henan and conquer the Xiongnu, but for the thief Yingbu, and use it to plot rebellion······"
"Woohoo lament~"
"Woohoo lament~~~"
Hearing Li Shang's heartfelt lamentation, Liu Ying couldn't help but nod slightly.
As a rookie on the battlefield, especially a rookie who has traveled from later generations, Liu Ying knows almost nothing about warfare in the era of cold weapons.
But the experience of the puppet emperor in his previous life also made Liu Ying have a certain understanding of some of the most basic theoretical knowledge.
As far as Liu Ying knows at the moment: in this era, the combat effectiveness of an armed force can almost completely correlate with the speed of the new army and draw an exponential proportion!
In layman's terms, it means that with the same distance, the same external factors, and the same number of people, that army can reach the end point faster, which can basically show that the army has higher combat effectiveness and deeper military literacy.
And today, the Huainan rebels led by Yingbu himself, in front of Liu Ying on the way to 'escape', showed a textbook-level demonstration on 'how to catch up with an enemy army that wants to run'!
- You must know that the Chinese army controlled by Liu Ying is only 60,000 people in total!
And for today's 'escape', Liu Ying can be said to have made preparations early.
In other words: today's rapid march was prepared by Liu Ying and the soldiers under his command!
On the other hand, the rebel army led by Yingbu, relying only on the news that 'the prince is in the western suburbs of Qi County', secretly bypassed the Hongxian County where Cao Shen was located in the early hours of this morning, and by noon, they had already appeared near Qi County!
At this time, Liu Ying's Chinese army was actually waiting for work, standing on the starting line like a sprinter, waiting for the flare gun to sound.
On the other hand, the signal gun, that is, the rebel army led by Yingbu, had been lurking around Hongxian since the early morning and marched all night to Qi County, which should have been exhausted and hungry.
But in the past half a day, from the western suburbs of Qi County to Yongcheng, where Liu Ying is at the moment, it is a distance of dozens of miles, and the 'tired army' under Yingbu is almost running away from the Chinese army under Liu Ying!
- even a little bit, he was left by Yingbu at the end of the team with a captain's department!
According to Li Shang's inference, there were at least 100,000 Huainan rebels who marched for more than ten hours and chased Liu Ying's 60,000 troops······
On one side is the 100,000 rebels in a tired state, and on the other side is the 60,000 Chinese army of Liu Ying, who is full of food and drink, waiting for Yingbu to appear.
Judging from this simple comparison alone, the combat effectiveness of both the enemy and the enemy can be said to be clear at a glance.
Of course, this does not mean that the Chinese army under Liu Ying's control is really inferior to the Huainan rebels in Yingbu, and there are many complicated factors in this.
——In the past half-day pursuit, the Chinese army under Liu Ying was the one who fled; And the rebels under the command of Yingbu are the one who pursues.
Just think about it: there are many factors to consider in a chase battle as the one being chased.
Just one 'maintaining the formation and the distance between the front and back', the twists and turns in it, are enough for Liu Ying to study for several years!
On the other hand, the rebels under the command of Yingbu, as the party that takes the initiative to catch up, actually have only one problem to consider.
- Keep an eye on the enemy in your field of vision, then chase after them regardless of the situation!
Coupled with a carrot that 'catches up and captures the prince alive' hangs in front of him, it is no wonder that the rebels have burst out with inhuman potential and can always follow the Chinese army under Liu Ying.
However, even so, the chase between the enemy and us that happened in the past half a day is enough to confirm Li Shang's evaluation from the side.
——The Huainan rebels under the command of Yingbu are definitely elite!
"Hmmm······"
"It's normal, too."
"If he didn't even have this confidence, he wouldn't have the courage to rebel······"
The tone was steady and let out a soft murmur, and Liu Ying's eyes involuntarily converged on Li Shang's side, and he was looking at Jin She outside the city with a stern expression.
Looking out of the city along Jin She's field of vision, when he saw the rebel army slowly approaching Jin She, Liu Ying still had an unhurried look and paced forward.
"Marquis Xinwu, but seeing the momentum of the rebels, a little less than our army?"
Hearing Liu Ying's question, Jin She didn't turn back immediately, but maintained that heavy expression and stared at the outside of the city for a while.
When the rebel army of about 10,000 people came to a position about three miles outside the city, and the dust raised in the sky gradually dispersed, only to see Jin She's deep eyes clenched his fists and smashed lightly on the battlements.
"Just look at this method of sending troops and arranging formations······"
Halfway through his words, Jin She slowly turned his head sideways, and saw that Li Shang also sighed slowly, then closed his eyes, and nodded to Jin She again and again.
After making sure that his opinion had been recognized by Li Shang, Jin She turned around and bowed his hand to Liu Ying with a solemn expression.
"Your Highness should know: Duke Xilu is still here, and the princes of the world are in groups, and when the Republic is the enemy of Duke Lu, the ministers have repeatedly faced Duke Lu's army."
He said softly, and saw Jin She squeeze out a slight smile, and touched the back of his head as if he was embarrassed.
"Hi~"
"The minister doesn't dare to be self-indulgent."
"Thank Your Majesty Hongfu, in the past, all the generals of our Han Dynasty, those who fought and won the battle with the Duke of Lu, except for the former Marquis of Huaiyin, will be the only minister······"
Hearing that Jin Shu said this sentence full of Versailles atmosphere with an awkward look of 'I really don't want to mention this', Liu Ying couldn't help but nod his head heavily.
Jin She's words may have some ostentatious meaning.
But as a reborn, Liu Ying knows very well: Jin She's words can be said to be half a fake word!
- Chu and Han struggle for hegemony, or 'Liu Xiang dispute', although in the end, it ended with the overlord Xiang Yu Wujiang killing himself, and the Han king Liu Bang establishing Han Zuo, but in fact, in the entire process of Chu and Han fighting for hegemony, the Han army camp faced the overlord Xiang Yu, which can almost be said to be 'no victory'.
The Hongmen Banquet, the defeat of Pengcheng and other past events do not need to be repeated.
From the first year of the Han Dynasty to the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu Wujiang killed himself, and during the five-year period of the Chu and Han Dynasty for hegemony, the number of victories of the Han army under Liu Bang in the real sense was only two and a half in total!
It can also be said that in the entire Chu and Han Dynasty hegemony instruments, there are only two and a half people who can win in front of the overlord Xiang Yu.
The first of them is self-evident - it is Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, who laid an ambush on ten sides under the wall and completely led the overlord to the road of destruction!
The remaining 'half', or 'half-win', is a draw, to be precise.
It was after the Han army experienced the defeat of Pengcheng and fled to Xingyang, that Peng Yue, the prime minister of Liang at that time, used unprecedented guerrilla tactics to block the footsteps of the overlord Xiang Yu from advancing westward.
It is also the existence of Peng Yue that makes today's Liu Bang, who has not recovered from the defeat of Pengcheng at that time, return to the right path of dominating the world.
From this point of view, Peng Yue, who can stop the overlord Xiang Yu outside the pass and east of Xingyang, can indeed be regarded as a tie with Xiang Yu.
Coupled with the impact of this draw on the outcome of the entire Chu-Han hegemony, as well as the resounding name of the overlord Xiang Yu, it is not nonsense to say that Peng Yue once defeated Xiang Yu 'half a time'.
——The experience of 'drawing with Xiang Yu', put it on anyone, can already be regarded as a victory and a badge to boast of his martial arts!
And except for Han Xin and the 'half winner' Peng Yue, the remaining 'complete winner' is the Han chariot cavalry general who is standing in front of Liu Ying at this moment, and believes in Wuhou for a while: Jin She!
Or it can be said that from the defeat of Pengcheng to the end of the world, this counterattack of Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, was completed by Peng Yue, Jin She, and Han Xin alternately.
- At the beginning, it was Liu Bang who withdrew to Xingyang, backed by Hangu Pass, and was about to fall short, Peng Yue relied on unprecedented guerrilla warfare to stabilize Liu Bang, who had just suffered a big defeat;
After Xiang Yu stayed in Xingyang City for a long time to no avail, and the news of 'Han Xin's surprise attack' came from the base camp Chudi, it was Jin She who blocked Han Xin from Chu and couldn't go straight back to Chudi, but could only make a detour.
It was the Han army led by Jin She who stopped Xiang Yu, who was in a hurry to return to Chu, on the road, and defeated Xiang Yu head-on, which laid a solid foundation for the Han army to win a complete victory and Xiang Yu to fight against Chu and Han in Wujiang.
Even if you mention Peng Yue's guerrilla warfare and Han Xin's ambush on all sides, if you really want to talk about it, today, there is only Jin She who has been tough and tough with Xiang Yu and won a big victory in the end!
It is precisely with such a unique and proud martial arts that Jin She has become the second person in the Han family today with a status second only to Taiwei Zhou Bo - General Che Cai!
And when such a person said in front of himself, 'It's not that I want to mention it, but I did just beat Xiang Yu and won the battle', no matter how inconsistent this scene is, Liu Ying doesn't feel that there is anything wrong.
But obviously, Jin She suddenly mentioned this past, not just to show off······
"Back then, on the eve of the next battle, the minister led the army to fight against Lu Gong."
Seeing Jin She whisper again, he immediately turned his head with a calm face and looked outside the city again.
After making sure that he was not mistaken, Jin She turned around and bowed his hand to Liu Ying with a hesitant face.
"According to the minister's view: at this moment, the posture of the Huainan thief army outside the city ······"
"Or, or 'slightly' like the past, the soldiers and formations used by Lu Gong ······"
