Chapter 52: The Battle of the Water

When Meng Tian received Fusu's edict, he immediately divided the 200,000 army into two teams of 100,000 people, one led by himself and the other led by Li Yan. A group led by Li Yan went to Gongzi Fusu, while Peng Yue himself led a group to secretly rush to the camp of Peng Lize Wangli.

After Li Yan's 100,000 horses arrived in Bushan County, Fusu sent people to South Vietnam to send a war letter, and then began to reorganize the army.

At this time, the 10,000 tiger army that had attracted Zhao Tuo's attention at the border of Nanhai County had already been established, and the righteous army of Guilin County that had returned to Daqin also had 40,000 people, plus 5,000 Qingzhang Mountain soldiers, and the army under Fusu had reached 200,000 people.

On this day, Fusu's 200,000 troops left Bushan and slaughtered Zhao Tuo's Nanhai County.

On the second day of the Fusu army, the 70,000 troops of the Xiang clan in Jiangdong arrived in Nanhai County, which made Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, much more confident for a while.

Just when the king of Nanyue, Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang were excitedly discussing the plan to drag the Fusu army to death, the 200,000 army of Wang Li and Meng Tian crossed the Yangtze River and killed Lujiang County in Jiangdong.

When Xiang Bo led 120,000 Jiangdong troops to collide with the Qin army, Xiang Zhuang was surprised to find that the Qin army that had invaded Lujiang County had 200,000 people. After a few days of fighting, Fanyang, Yugan and other counties in Lujiang County completely fell into the hands of the Qin army.

Through interrogating the Qin captives, Xiang Zhuang learned that Meng Tian's 200,000 troops had not all been invested in South Vietnam, and that 100,000 horses had quietly joined Wang Li's army.

It was not until this moment that Xiang Bo understood that Fusu had already thought that he Jiangdong would send troops to South Vietnam when he was calculating South Vietnam, so Xiushu sent a fast horse to South Vietnam Sea County to recall Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang's 70,000 troops.

Seven days later, Fusu's 200,000-strong army crossed Lishui and came to an open place on the east bank of Lishui, where 170,000 Zhao and Xiang troops were waiting for Fusu's army.

The reason why Fusu chose to fight a decisive battle with the Zhao and Xiang coalition forces with his back to Lishui was because Fusu was worried that the Qin army would be suddenly attacked by the South Vietnamese army, after all, in addition to the 170,000 Zhao and Xiang coalition troops in front of him, there were more than 100,000 horses in South Vietnam.

Giving the back of the 200,000 army to Lishui, although it can ensure that you will not be attacked on your back, but the slightest carelessness will cause the 200,000 horses to fall into a desperate situation, so Fusu asked Peng Yue to lead the 50,000 tiger army to temporarily leave the army in case of accidents.

When the more than 300,000 troops of both sides came to a distance of 500 paces from each other, the commanders of both sides gave the order to stop the march.

I saw that the two commanders of the Zhao and Xiang coalition armies came to the middle of the two armies, and the crossbowmen behind the two commanders raised their crossbows one after another, ready to deal with emergencies.

Seeing the opposing coach coming out, Fusu also stepped out of the military formation and came to the front of the two opposing coaches.

"It's Fusu, the son of Qin?" The thin commander of the Zhao and Xiang coalition forces asked.

"I'm Fusu, I don't know what to call the two?" Fusu asked proudly.

In fact, Fusu didn't want to pretend too much, but in front of these two armies, he still had to pretend.

"Zhao Shi, the king of South Vietnam"

"Thief Fusu, do you recognize Jiangdong Xiang Yu?"

Looking at the two people in front of him who were vomiting blood by their own pits, Fu Su shook his head with a smile.

"Two, it's better to listen to my advice, let's go back with our own troops, and I won't embarrass you two, as long as you go back and tell the people in charge of your family, let them dismiss the soldiers, and then tie yourself up and kneel in front of me, I still treat them as my Great Qin people. Do you think it's possible? Fusu pretended to be sincere and persuaded Zhao Shi and Xiang Yu.

"The thief helps the Su, Hugh must be quick to speak, if he is really capable, he will see it on the battlefield."

"I also think that the Great Qin Gongzi must have a high theory, but what he wants to say is so vulgar."

Seeing Xiang Yu and Zhao Shi retorting, Fusu shook his head disdainfully.

"I, the people of Great Qin, stand up to the heavens and the earth, how can you wait for the rebellious thieves of the country to do it. I'll just say casually, you really think that my Daqin will be rare for your father and uncle to be like this crooked melon and cracked jujube. ”

"Go back and tell your family Zhao Tuo, let him wash his neck and wait, I will definitely use this Qin Wang Sword to cut off his dog's head." Fu Su pulled out the Qin Wang Sword in his hand and stared at Zhao Shi and said.

"And you are a reckless man, even my wife was robbed by me, and what face do you have to make a big statement in front of me. Go back and tell your family Uncle Xiang, the state of Chu has long since died, don't use the banner of restoring Chu to plague the people of my Great Qin and Chu land, this Jiangdong disaster is all your own fault. ”

Listening to what Fusu said, Zhao Shi and Xiang Yu were resentful, Xiang Yu was so angry that he was about to draw his sword and rush to Fusu, but was stopped by Zhao Shi.

"This Jiangdong disaster......" When Xiang Yu recalled what Fusu said, he felt a little strange, and he couldn't say anything wrong for a while.

Fusu also no longer paid attention to Zhao Shi and Xiang Yu, and returned to his own phalanx by himself, and Zhao Shi and Xiang Yu also returned to the ranks of Zhao and Xiang Lian's army when they saw this.

When Fusu returned to the military formation, he gave the order to start a war, and the 320,000 troops were instantly intertwined and slaughtered together.

When the Qin army fought with the South Vietnamese and Jiangdong coalition forces, I saw a fast horse rush to Xiang Yu and Xiang Bo, and handed a letter from Jiangdong to Xiang Yu.

Knowing that Jiangdong was in crisis, Xiang Yu hurriedly issued an order to the Jiangdong Army to retreat, but the 70,000 Jiangdong Army had fallen into a battle with the Qin Army together with the South Vietnamese Army, and it was impossible to withdraw for a while.

It wasn't until sunset that the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops came to an end. The Qin army suffered 45,000 casualties, while the combined forces of Zhao and Xiang suffered 30,000 casualties, including 18,000 casualties among the Jiangdong army.

When the battle was over, Xiang Yu and Xiang Bo withdrew to Jiangdong with the remaining 50,000 people despite Zhao Shi's opposition.

When the Tancai reported the news of the departure of the Jiangdong Army to Fusu, Fusu was overjoyed for a while, and immediately sent someone to the Huben Army camp to recall Peng Yue.

Half an hour later, Peng Yue led dozens of followers to the Qin army camp on the east bank of Lishui, and went straight to the Chinese army tent where Fusu was located.

"General Peng Yue, the Jiangdong Army that came to the aid of South Vietnam has hastily withdrawn to Jiangdong, and it seems that Wang Li's army has crossed the river. At this time, the morale of Zhao Shi's South Vietnamese army was inevitably affected, and it was a good time to rob the camp. Fusu analyzed Peng Yue, who came in a hurry.

"Gongzi, the South Vietnamese army is newly defeated, and the patrol of the camp will inevitably be strengthened tonight, I am afraid that it will be dangerous to rob the camp, please think twice." Peng Yue looked at Fusu and suggested sincerely.

"General Peng Yue, if I send 20,000 troops to attract the attention of the South Vietnamese army before the Tiger Ben army robs the camp, can I be sure of robbing the camp?"

"Yu Gongzi, as long as I can attract the attention of the patrol soldiers of the South Vietnamese Army, I am sure to rush to the front of Zhao Shi's Chinese army camp." Peng Yue said with an oath.

"That's good, I'll let Li Yan lead an army of 20,000 to assist you, remember to accept this battle when you see it, don't fall in love."

That night, Li Yan and Peng Yue led their respective teams towards the South Vietnamese army station.
