Chapter 455: Flooding Pi
Chapter 455 The rain is still falling, but it has gradually become much smaller. The rain was sparsely falling, and Xiang Liang's heart was gradually becoming irritable.
Today's situation is becoming more and more unfavorable, the grain and grass are moldy, and there are huge problems in transportation. In the end, Xiang Liang slapped his thigh and made a decision, and the army immediately pulled out, retreated east into Donghui County, and joined Xiang Bo's army.
In the face of Xiang Liang's decision to withdraw eastward, Tian Rong and Yan Wangli still did not approve. Therefore, in the end, Xiang Liang directly gave up the two of them and gave part of Jiujiang County in his hands to the two of them.
Tian Rong still has an army of 30,000 in his hands, which really makes Xiang Liang's heart move. But Xiang Liang also knew that he would not be able to annex Tian Rong's 30,000 horses, because he couldn't withstand the internal friction at all.
Now the only person worthy of Xiang Liang's forcible removal is Zhang Liang. So, under Xiang Liang's strong arrangement, Zhang Liang was taken into the carriage, and as for Han Cheng, because his whereabouts were unknown, Xiang Liang simply didn't care about Han Cheng's life or death.
Whether Xiang Liang's army withdrew in a hurry or not left Tian Rong with a lot of good things. Looking at Xiang Liang's army, Tian Rong stood at the head of the city and mocked Xiang Liang in the rain.
Yan Wangli stood aside, personally holding an umbrella, and asked: "King Qi, what should we do next, look at this, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the rain will stop, and then the Qin army will be able to come to the city as long as it takes a day." Tian Rong looked at Yan Wangli, and said with his hands behind his back and in high spirits: "King Yan, sleep well tonight, and tomorrow our army will march north." The 50,000 army of the Qin army is a lot, but the 600,000 army of the headquarters is much less. ”
"As long as we can rush out, we will fight all the way to the Central Plains. As long as the Central Plains is in chaos, the world will inevitably be in chaos! We still have a chance! ”
"Good! Then everything is up to King Yan's arrangement! Enter the Central Plains! Stir up the world! Yan Wangli was enthusiastic when he heard this, and he didn't feel that the rain was cold, so he directly threw the umbrella down the city.
Xiang Yu's side marched eastward in the rain. The road on weekdays has become muddy due to heavy rain for a few days, and the horses and people are fine, but there is a problem with the carriage and horses.
Once the chariots and horses were stuck in the mud pit, the chariots and horses behind them could not move forward, so the march of the army was not very smooth along the way.
Xiang Liang saw that Zhang Liang's carriage was trapped, and he wanted to pull Zhang Liang out, and set off on horseback.
But this idea was quickly dispelled, because Zhang Liang's wind and cold had not yet recovered, and now that Zhang Liang had to retreat east with him, it was difficult to guarantee whether his condition would worsen.
If Zhang Liang is allowed to come out and blow some wind and rain now, maybe Zhang Liang will not be able to survive, and he will be blind by then.
"Call a few more people to come and push the cart! Be sure to keep the ovary safe, if something happens to the ovary! General Ben will not be spared! Xiang Yu scolded loudly.
"General! Checkmate! A general rode to Xiang Liang's side in a hurry, and said, "General! The road ahead has collapsed, and our army may have to make a detour! Xiang Liang frowned and asked, "How long will it take to take a detour?" ”
"It's two days longer than expected." The general said.
"Good! Let's take a detour over there, give the order to go down, and the whole army will speed up the march! Xiang Liang pointed at the general with a horsewhip and said.
"General, what about the carts, horses, grain and grass, once our army speeds up the march, these carts and horses will not be able to move fast on this muddy road at all." The general arched his hand and said.
"Leave 3,000 men and horses to protect the ovary and go to Donghu County, and the army will set off immediately." Xiang Liang finally made a choice.
The rain in Donghui County has stopped, and when the ground is dry, the Qin army is bound to attack the city. Since he chose to withdraw into Donghui County, Xiang Liang should lead a large army to aid Donghui County as soon as possible, and every time he is delayed here, the situation in Donghui County will be even more critical.
······ Outside Xiapi City, the Qin army suddenly withdrew its camp, retreated twenty miles, and re-established itself on a high slope.
"Why did the Qin army suddenly retreat twenty miles, this is not normal!" Wei Ji frowned and said. Xiang Bo on the side also frowned, looked at Xiang Bing behind him, and asked, "Third brother, do you know what the situation is?" Now is the time for the survival of our army. Xiang Bing shook his head and said, "The commander of the Qin army is Qin Xi, this kid is scheming, and he always likes to hide it, no one knows what he thinks." ”
"It seems that we can only look at one step at a time." Wei Qi said. Xiang Bing suddenly said: "Second brother, the eldest brother is estimated to be on the way to withdraw from Jiujiang County, should we go and pick it up." Xiang Bo was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's time to pick it up, go and prepare the soldiers and horses." ”
"No!" After Xiang Bing went down, Xiang Bo looked at Wei Ji and said, "Brother Wei, my brother is about to arrive with an army of 70,000, as a brother, I have to go to meet him." So I plan to temporarily hand over Xiapi City to Brother Wei, noncommittal? Wei Ji was suddenly happy in his heart, there was such a good thing.
Wei Qi hurriedly stood up and arched his hand and said, "Brother Xiang, as long as I Wei Ji is here, the Qin army will not want to attack Xiapi City!" It's just that I don't know how long it will take for Brother Xiang to come back. ”
"Two days." Xiang Bo stretched out two fingers and said.
"Good! Then I'm waiting for Brother Xiang to come back in Xiapi City! Wei Qi said. Judging from the current situation under the city, the Qin army will obviously not be able to attack the city within two days, as long as the Qin army does not attack the city, then everything will be easy to say about its own boasting.
"In that case, then please go down to Picheng." Xiang Bo got up and said. After handing over Xiapi City to Wei Qi, Xiang Bo and Xiang Bing led their troops to meet Xiang Liang, leaving only Wei Qi, as well as the remaining 20,000 horses of the Zhao-Wei coalition army in the city, and 10,000 Chu troops.
After Xiang Bo left, Wei Qi suddenly became the emperor of the soil in Xiapi City, and no one pressed on his head anymore.
"Alas! Finally comfortable! Someone! Find some beautiful women for this king! This king has been fighting for so long, and he has to enjoy it today! Wei Ji said with a wave of his hand.
Soon, orchestral music and the hedonistic laughter of Wei Qi resounded in the city lord's mansion. However, in Surabaya and Yishui, near Xiapi City, the Qin army was preparing to dig two rivers.
Heavy rains for nearly a month have made the storage capacity of the two rivers extremely staggering, and once they are dug up, the entire city of Xiapi will be soaked in water.
Qin Xi knew that as soon as this water was released, the people in the city would inevitably suffer. But! This is war, and war is merciless.
When emotions are used to control a war, it may face a crushing defeat, or more soldiers returning to their lives.
Qin Xi is not a saint, he just wants to create a great era that he has been fantasizing about for two lifetimes, and this must come at the cost of blood and tears, Qin Xi knew that his position as the crown prince was stable, so he was ready for this.
With the sound of a cannon, the two rivers were blown up by explosives bags at the same time, and the water suddenly rolled into the river, like thousands of troops and horses, and swept towards Xiapi City.
"Oh no! It's a big flood! The soldiers in the city hurriedly ran to the city lord's mansion to report, but found that Wei Qi had already drunk the two dancing girls, and he was unconscious at all.
