Chapter 335: God bless me
"Where did the mad dog come from, it actually bit me deadly!"
Fifty miles south of Shangcai, on the banks of Rushui.
A Chu army of nearly 10,000 people is resting here.
Sima Ye Sheng, the right of the Chu State, was very annoyed, and when he thought of the Qin army hanging tightly behind him, he felt a pain in his head.
This time, Zhao Yuan ordered a desperate counterattack against the Qin army, which was a mortal situation in Ye Sheng's eyes. He, the right horse, naturally did not want to be buried, so he prepared 10,000 elite soldiers in advance. When his generals launched an attack on Yang Duan's Qin army, he took the opportunity to escape with his troops so that he could escape with his life.
Ye Sheng originally wanted to lead the army east, cross Huai from Xia Cai, and go to Shouchun.
However, Zheng Zisu, the general under his command, persuaded him that although the Pingyu and Bedqiu lines in the east were still some distance away from the Chen Ying battlefield, and there was Xiangcheng in the middle to resist, Wang Qian's Qin army might not be able to go south to block him after breaking through Zhaoyuan.
But further east, there is still a force of Qin general Zhao Tuo.
In case Zhao Tuo happened to lead his troops to the west and wanted to attack the Chu army with Wang Qian, wouldn't he just bump into him? Or that Zhao Tuo was about to lead his troops to attack Chudu, and he just happened to go to Xia Cai, so it was easy to confront Ye Sheng. Therefore, the road is not safe, so it is better to go south.
When Ye Sheng heard this, this truth was also correct.
Qin General Zhao Tuo's reputation is too loud, and he doesn't want to add merit to the other party.
Ye Sheng simply led his troops south along Rushui, and at the same time sent cavalry to go first, so that Xincaicheng in the upper reaches of Rushui could prepare ships for him. Ye Sheng wanted to cross the Huai River from the confluence of Rushui and Huai Shui and enter the land of Huainan, so that the Qin army could be thrown away far away and there would be no more danger.
This Chu army took advantage of Paoze to launch a general attack to delay the time of the Qin army, walked more than 20 miles along Rushui, and camped on the bank of Rushui for the night.
Unexpectedly, the next day, before dawn, they found that the figure of the Qin cavalry appeared in the rear. There was a Qin army that pursued day and night.
This news frightened Ye Sheng on the spot, and he didn't care about turning back to meet the attack, so he hurriedly led the 10,000 people to set off from the camp and fled in panic to the south.
Although Ye Sheng's subordinates are carefully selected elite soldiers, with the collapse of the frontal battlefield, the morale of the army also has a tendency to collapse, especially when it is known that there is a Qin army chasing in the rear, this army of 10,000 people has irrepressibly deserted.
After all, everyone knows that the target of the Qin army must be their right Sima, and although there is food to eat with the right Sima, it is also in danger, so it is better to escape alone to save his life.
The Chu army went all the way south, and there were people constantly looking for opportunities to escape on the way, even if they caught the deserters and cut off their heads, they couldn't suppress this phenomenon.
In just fifty miles, the 10,000 Chu army ran nearly a thousand people.
"Right Sima, the heart of our army is already unstable. If this continues, by the time our army arrives in Xincai, I am afraid that more than half of the army will have to run away. At that time, the Qin army following in the rear pounced on it, and it could easily defeat our army. ”
"According to the opinion of the last general, it is better to take advantage of the fact that our army is still strong at this time and fight the enemy with a division. Defeat this Qin army, so that the morale of the army can be boosted, and when the soldiers are stable, they will not flee again! ”
General Zheng Zisu opened his mouth and suggested: "According to the investigation of our cavalry, the Qin army chasing from the rear is about 5,000 people. Our army still has more than 9,000 people, and if we stir up the morale of the army, we will definitely have a chance to win! ”
Ye Shengneng is in the position of the right Sima of Chu State, and naturally he is also familiar with the art of war, and he knows that what Zheng Zisu said is reasonable.
After a slight hesitation, Ye Sheng said hatefully: "Since this Qin army is unwilling to let us go, then it can only be like this." Zisu, you give the soldiers a full meal, and then we will return to the army to fight these hateful Qin people to the death!" ”
……
"Jun Hou, according to the captured Chu army fugitive. Right Sima commanded 10,000 people, intending to flee south along Rushui and go to Xincai. However, our army is following behind, the 10,000 Chu army has collapsed, and there are deserters along the way, according to this situation, when the Chu army arrives in Xincai, the number of Chu troops will be greatly reduced, and then the army will wave its troops to attack, and it will definitely break the enemy in one fell swoop, capture the right Sima of Chu and return! ”
Gong Ao stood in the tent and reported the information given by the deserters of the Chu army they captured.
"Our army is hanging behind the Chu people, and there is no need to attack, so that the Chu army can collapse on its own. The art of military waiting is in line with the art of war's 'soldiers who surrender without a fight', we admire! ”
"However, if the military hou captures the right Sima of Chu this time, it will be a great achievement, at least he can be promoted to a knight!"
"A knight? Right Sima Ye Sheng is the chief general of more than 100,000 Chu troops, if the army Hou captures him, will there be too few knights? I think the military candidate can be promoted to at least two knighthoods! ”
In the military tent, several two or five hundred lords immediately slapped their farts on the back.
"Enough. Don't flatter me and mess with my mind. There are still nearly 10,000 sharp soldiers under the right Sima, how can it be easy to deal with, don't take it lightly! ”
Li You glared at the generals under his command.
His tone was serious, but a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, and his heart was even more happy.
Li You was right.
He aimed at the right Sima very early, and when the Qin army launched a full-scale counterattack, he asked Gongao to lead the troops to capture the Chu rout, and found out the escape direction of the right Sima Ye Sheng, and chased after him all the way, and only caught up after day and night.
There were 10,000 soldiers on the side of the right Sima, who had more troops than Li You, so he did not dare to come forward to attack, so he used the method of tailgating and hanging all the way behind the Chu army to find fighters.
Unexpectedly, this frightened the hearts of the Chu army and made the Chu army desert all the way, which is really a good opportunity for Li You!
"Shame before the snow, just now!"
Li You clenched his fists tightly, his heart full of excitement.
But soon, he thought of something again, his face turned cold, and he asked, "Where has the Ren Huan Department who followed us now?" ”
A two-five hundred lord immediately returned with his hand: "Wait for the army." According to the cavalry's report, Ren is still twenty miles away from our army. ”
"Hmm."
Li You bowed slightly, and his tense face relaxed a little.
Renhustle.
A song of military waiting, the title of duke, once accompanied Tu Sui to guard Xingyang.
Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to attack Chu, Tu Sui was transferred to Dongjun to preside over the military, and Ren Huan went south to serve as a general.
This time, the Qin army went out to counterattack, not only did Li You aim at the great achievement of the right Sima of Chu State, but also two other songs of people and horses followed the taste, one of which was the people and horses under the command of this arrogant man.
However, because Li You was prepared for a long time, he acted the fastest. The other two songs are far behind, far less close to him Li You and Right Sima.
"That Ren Huan is said to have a good relationship with Zhao Tuo, so I think he wants to fight with me for Zhao Tuo? It's a pity, God bless me Li You, you can only follow me and step on. ”
"When I defeat the Chu army and capture the right Sima of the Chu State, I will leave you some remnants of the army and let you chase them. It's also considered to give him Zhao Tuo a face, hehehe......"
The corners of Li You's mouth were slightly upturned, he was repeatedly deflated in front of Zhao Tuo, and he was depressed in his heart.
Although it can't be compared with Zhao Tuo now, if you can find an opportunity to suppress the other party's friends, it will still be very refreshing.
"If I win a big victory this time and return home, my father will definitely be happy. And the princess, if she knew that I had done such a great job, I don't know what her expression would be, heh. ”
Just when Li You was imagining in his heart, when he captured the right Sima of Chu State in the future, he would definitely return to Xianyang to show off.
Half an hour later, he suddenly received an urgent military situation.
"What, the Chu army turned around and wanted to attack our army?"
Li You's face changed, he was ready to drag the Chu army all the way, wait until most of the Chu army escaped, and then launch a general attack, why was Right Sima so anxious, he was going to turn back and fight him.
"The army is waiting, the Chu army is unstable, and the soldiers keep breaking away, then the right Sima must want to take advantage of the fact that there are still many people to fight a decisive battle with our army in order to gain an advantage."
"According to the opinion of the last general, our army should avoid its edge and retreat, the Chu army will definitely not be able to drag us down, and when its morale is exhausted, there will be a greater collapse, and then the army will wave the army to kill it, and it will definitely be able to break the enemy in one battle!"
Gong Ao immediately made suggestions, he was born in the Nanjun Gong clan, and his ancestors were also from a noble family, and he had read some books on the art of war, and he was quite insightful in what he said.
Li You bowed slightly, what Gong Ao said was indeed a good strategy, the Chu army returned to the division, and he avoided it directly, but it was just ......
Li You thought of Ren Huan and another Qin army who were chasing after them.
The two Qin armies were only about twenty miles away, and if the Chu army returned to the division and Li retreated, the distance between the two sides would definitely be shortened. When the Chu army couldn't bear the collapse, maybe the fastest Ren Huan department would catch up.
At that time, the credit for breaking the army of the right Sima will not be his exclusive possession, and even the right Sima will not necessarily fall into his hands.
If you can't break the Chu army and get the great merit of capturing the right Sima, then what's the point of this pursuit?
How can he, Li You, be ashamed?
At this moment's hesitation, Li You's heart moved.
Because the Qin army had an overall advantage, a certain idea of being suppressed by him suddenly popped up again.
Li You suddenly became excited, he straightened up, ignored the looks of the generals, and ran out of the tent.
In the cold wind, Li You saw that on the west side of the Qin army, a large river was slowly flowing towards the south.
Rushui.
"Isn't this the place where I, Li You, has built a great achievement by carrying the water as a battle?"
"Hahahaha, God bless me!"
Thank you for your repeated rewards, as well as your votes, thank you!
