After learning the art of qi refining, Gengwu's overall strength has been improved in a straight line.

There were already eight cavalry of the Chu army who fell under his sword, and all of them were killed by him in one fell swords.

Next, Geng Wu directly targeted Xiang Yan, if he brought back the head of the chief general of the Chu army, it would be a great achievement!

"Kill him!"

Geng Wu snorted coldly and led the cavalry around him to charge.

"Protect me, retreat!"

At Xiang Yan's age, he is only suitable for commanding battles, not for killing the enemy personally.

He saw that Geng Wu was going to kill him, and he saw that the morale of the cavalry of the Qin army was high, and he completely pressed the cavalry of their Chu army to kill, whether it was horsemanship, morale, or even weapons, etc., the Chu army was far inferior to the Qin army.

If they don't retreat at this time, they will all die here.

In the end, Xiang Yan could only take hundreds of cavalry and hurriedly fled to the west.

Of course, he wanted to fight back, but after meeting with Xiang Liang, he had the ability to do so.

With cavalry alone, they can't cross the Fenshui.

"It's a pity!"

Geng Wu sighed, and could only watch Xiang Yan escape.

He kept Bai Zhong's order in mind, and if he won the battle, he would retreat and retreat, and he could not chase it, but when he saw the ownerless war horses left behind by the cavalry of the Chu army, he ordered them all to be taken away and passed through the pontoon bridge.

On the way back, Geng Wu asked people to simply count the results.

Their sharp soldiers were not killed, only three were seriously injured, and they hurriedly used gold sore medicine to stop the bleeding.

Back to the barracks.

Geng Wu reported the results of the battle just now.

"Well done!"

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "You guys go down to rest first, it's already late, there won't be another fight today, let's see how the situation is tomorrow." ”

Since Xiang Yan's cavalry returned to the shore, the infantry behind was also fast.

If you don't come tonight, you will come to the shore of Fenshui tomorrow.

When to fight, it is not Bai Zhong who decides, but Xiang Yan's father and son, Bai Zhong only needs to hold on the edge of the Fenshui and control the pontoon bridge, even if the Chu army builds a pontoon bridge again, as long as there are no warships, they can easily deal with it on the shore.

"Your idea, it works."

Ying Shu said with a little admiration.

When he left Shang Cai, Bai Zhong made arrangements based on his guesses, but he didn't expect all the guesses to come true, and said, "It should be Xiang Yan who underestimated me, you should also go back and rest." ”

Inside the barracks, quiet soon returned.

It's the second half of the night.

A scout came to report that Xiang Yan's father and son, a total of more than 50,000 people, rushed overnight and finally came to the shore.

Bai Zhong didn't rest, and when he heard the words, he muttered: "It's a little fast, don't act for the time being, you can arrange people and take turns to stare at the edge of the pontoon." ”

"Yui!"

The scout responded.

Bai Zhong thought that Wang Ben's side should also be waiting for his progress, including Yang Duanhe in Handan, so he wrote two more letters, and then called people in and asked them to send the letters to the north as soon as possible.

At this point, Yang Duanhe can make a feint attack in Handan and create pressure on Wang Wei to fake, and Wang Ben will almost be able to enter the Yan Kingdom.

So far, so good!

After dawn.

Bai Zhong walked out of the camp, regardless of Xiong Qi, who had already entered the city, and came directly to the bank of the Fenshui River and looked at the opposite bank.

When Wang Li and them saw that their general seemed to be about to declare war, he immediately gathered his whole army and followed Bai Zhong, ready to stand by at any time.

The Chu army on the other side saw it and gathered as well.

After a while, Xiang Yan appeared from the Chu army and also came to the shore.

He looked from a distance, and it was the first time he had met Bai Zhong.

"General Bai, good means!"

Although the distance between the two banks of the river was far away, Xiang Yan's voice was loud, and Bai Zhong and they could all hear it.

Bai Zhong said with a smile: "General Xiang has conceded, I don't know if you will withdraw directly from the army, or will you fight with me?" If it's the latter, I'm here to accompany you to the end! ”

Xiang Yanlang said: "General Bai is very confident in his own ability? ”

"Is there self-confidence, General Xiang has already seen it."

Bai Zhong laughed: "If you want to fight, my people, stand here waiting for you to fight, if you don't want to, it's too late to retreat now." ”

Xiang Yan didn't speak again, pondered for a long time, and left from the side of the riverbank, but he didn't attack.

Meng Tian was worried: "What if the Chu army really retreats? ”

Wang Li said: "I don't think Xiang Yan will retreat, things have come to this point, in fact, it makes little difference to him whether he retreats or not, it is better to forcibly cross the river, fight with us, and fight hard, they absolutely want to save everything, they don't want to leave like this, and they are not willing to give up, so we must be ready to fight." ”

Bai Zhong agreed: "I also think that Xiang Yan will not retreat, you can help me arrange a few people to cross the Fenshui from the upstream, I want to know where Zhang Han has come." ”

As long as Zhang Han can come smoothly, even if Xiang Yan really wants to retreat, it will be difficult to withdraw from Huaiyang.

"At the same time, be prepared to cross the river."

Bai Zhong was thinking about what they should do if Yiyi Yan would retreat.

However, if Xiang Yan wants to retreat, the best thing to do is to chase and kill directly.

——

Xiang Yan returned to the barracks and was also considering whether to retreat.

Now retreat, Huaiyang is equal to nothing, the king of Chu will definitely punish them, if they fight, they can recover Chen Cheng if they win, and they can recover the entire Huaiyang, if they are defeated, the consequences are not much different from retreating.

"A-Ong, what are we going to do?"

Xiang Liang asked.

Xiang Yan spread out a map, thought for a while, and said, "Do you think you can cross the river?" ”

"It's hard!"

Xiang Liang analyzed: "If we have more than 100,000 people now, we can force the Fenshui crossing, but with only more than 50,000 people, it is not easy, unless we can disturb the rear of the Qin army." ”

"Disrupt the rear of the Qin army?"

Xiang Yan thought about it for a long time, felt that this method was feasible, and pondered for a while, and continued: "You immediately arrange two thousand soldiers with the best water ability to swim across the Fenshui from a place where there is no Qin army monitoring downstream, wait on the opposite bank, and we will force the Fenshui tomorrow night." ”

He thought for a while and said: "When we cross the river, we will send an order for people to beat the drum vigorously, and the drum sound will be used as a trum, and when the two thousand people hear the drum, they will kill the rear army of the Qin army, set fire to the barracks, disturb the rear of the enemy army, and assist us to cross the river." ”

Xiang Liang hurriedly said, "I'll arrange it right away." ”

Doing so as if it were their only chance.

That same evening.

Two thousand Chu troops quietly crossed the Fenshui downstream.

But before the Chu army crossed the river, the people of the Qin army had already crossed over, and they got in touch with Zhang Han at this time.

Seeing Bai Zhong's military order, Zhang Han thought for a while and said, "Approach the Chu army first, pay attention to hiding, don't alarm anyone, and the scouts will monitor the movements of the Chu army first." ”

When the Chu army moves, whether it is forcibly crossing the river or retreating and fleeing first, he will send troops to kill it, and if he will escape, of course, he will intercept it, and wait for Bai Zhong to lead the army to come over to encircle and suppress.

The battle against the state of Chu was about to come to an end at this time.
