Chapter 10 The siege of the city must be stopped

Behind Han Xin's army was Liu Jizhong's army, which was heavily lined up.

Seeing the murderous Chu army getting closer and closer, Liu Ji commanded the army to open the front according to the plan, forming a "concave" character to meet the enemy.

The two sides soon fell into a fierce battle, with swords and swords, and flesh and blood flying.

I don't know how long the battle has been, seeing that his Chinese army is about to be unable to resist, Liu Ji was so anxious that he scolded,

"Han Xin, this kid, is really unreliable!

Lao Tzu is going to be killed here by him today! ”

Before the words fell, there seemed to be a trace of commotion at the back of the Chu army, which could not be seen at a glance-

Han Xin didn't trap him, and the two cavalry led by Kong Xi and Chen He finally came to an end!

These two groups of cavalry were like two huge sharp axes, cutting in from both sides of Xiang Yu's army at the same time, and completed the meeting at the speed of light, completely isolating the rear army of the Chu army from the encirclement.

At the same time, the remaining "stragglers" of Han Xin's army, which had already been defeated and disappeared, suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ji's army as a ghost, and quickly launched a counterattack against the Chu army.

In an instant, Xiang Yu's army, which was originally pursuing by victory, was cut off by Qi Gen from the rear, and was isolated and helpless in the Han army's encirclement on all sides, without the power to resist.

What follows is not so much a battle as a literal killing.

***

In the Battle of Qixia, the Chu army suffered a crushing defeat, and the front army led by Zhong Liwei and the Chinese army led by Xiang Yu were almost completely annihilated.

Xiang Yu took the few survivors, broke out of the siege and fled back to the city, while Zhong Lihuan's whereabouts are unknown.

Now, there are less than 20,000 Chu troops left in the city.

In the Han camp, Liu Ji was roaring at the soldiers in charge of searching the battlefield,

"What about Zhong Lixi? Where's Zhong Li's house?!

I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death! ”

Zhong Liwei was ordered by Xiang Yu to stick to Guling, and defeated Liu Ji in the city, which made him lose confidence and caused irreparable psychological trauma.

Therefore, once he was victorious, Liu Ji was eager to eat him alive and break his body into thousands of pieces.

Chen Ping was busy persuading,

"In such a fierce battle, he could not escape with his wings, and he must have died on the spot.

It's a long time coming, we will check slowly, and we will always find it. ”

Lu Pheasant sat quietly in the corner of the big tent, slowly wiping Liu Ji's long sword, and listening to the latest battle report in his ears:

At present, the morale of the Han army has been greatly boosted, and Han Xin has been full of enthusiasm and commanded the army to surround the city layer by layer, like an iron bucket.

"Surrounded by layers?"

Lu Pheasant raised his eyes sharply, but couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Liang seemed to have the same question in mind, and hurriedly asked,

"All surrounded?"

The soldier who reported the news was stunned and hurriedly added,

"Ah, Fang is the villain didn't make it clear.

The king of Qi ordered that the strength of our army at the south gate of the city should be deployed extremely small. ”

Zhang Liang let out an "um" and didn't ask again.

That's right, Lu Pheasant also echoed in his heart, the siege of the city must be que, leaving an opening is to leave a way out, once the trapped army in the city has vitality in his heart, he will not fight to the death.

Moreover, Xiang Yu is very likely to break through from this gap, which is also convenient for our army to detect and pursue.

"Han Xin is really a once-in-a-lifetime god of war, if only he could not fight back in the end, it would be good if he could still be used by me."

Lu Pheasant thought to himself, and the long sword in his hand glowed with a cold light.

***

The city has been besieged, and the pass in the south of the city has also been opened, and the next thing that needs to be done is to accelerate the complete collapse of the Chu army.

In Liu Ji's big tent, Chen Ping was chewing on sesame cakes, his mouth was full of sesame crumbs, and he didn't forget to ask Zhang Liang,

"You say, how will Han Xin force Xiang Yu out of the city?"

Zhang Liang shook his head,

"His tricks are endless, and I can't say for sure.

However, there were not many rations in the city, and Xiang Yu had already betrayed his relatives and left.

In my opinion, he will flee by tomorrow night at the latest. ”

Listening to the chatter between the two, Liu Ji thought for a while, and summoned the general to the tent.

"I will tell King Qi and ask him to give you full authority to pursue Xiang Yu.

Do a good job, don't embarrass me. ”

Guan Ying was originally a small cloth seller in Suiyang County, and since the beginning of Liu Ji's army, he has always followed the left and right, and is one of his most loyal old subordinates.

For Liu Ji, the work of chasing Xiang Yu must be handed over to his own people.

And the deepest thoughts in his heart can only confide in his own people.

"Han Xin has deliberately sold a flaw in the defenders in the south of the city, and along the way out of the city, he must have made all arrangements, and he will never let Xiang Yu escape back to Jiangdong smoothly.

In these matters, you can listen to him.

It's justβ€”"

Liu Ji wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing how to phrase it for a while.

"Don't worry, the king will definitely capture Xiang Yu alive and bring him to you."

The baby's black and red face was full of confidence.

"You capture Xiang Yusheng back, what will the king do?

Do you kill it, or let it go? ”

***

Seeing that Liu Ji was inconvenient to speak, Chen Ping could only put down the hemp cake in his hand and asked the baby directly.

"Ah, do you want me to let Xiang Yu go?"

The baby's brain was knotted and completely confused.

Chen Ping stared at the elm head of the baby, and his beard straightened with anger.

Lu Pheasant watched coldly, and couldn't help but want to laugh:

Liu Ji was pretending to be posturing again, waiting for others to help him say evil things.

After all, Xiang Yu was the Duke of Lu who was crowned by the Prince of Chu Huai, and he had let Liu Ji go once at the Hongmen Banquet, and reached a peace agreement with Liu Ji outside Guangwu City.

If Liu Ji kills him with his own hands, he will definitely bear the infamy of treachery, and he will not have enough confidence in both emotion and reason;

But if he is left alive, it is a legacy of raising tigers, and when he thinks that Xiang Yu is still in the world, Liu Ji will not have another night to sleep peacefully in the future.

Zhang Liang said categorically,

"Xiang Yu must die, and he must die on the battlefield, so that it is convenient for the king to finish for him.

If he doesn't want to die, you scold him to death. ”

"Xiang Yu is arrogant by nature, no need to scold much, I estimate that he will kill himself on the spot when the time comes.

Just bring his body back properly. ”

Chen Ping carefully instructed the baby.

"And Yu Ji." Lu Pheasant, who had been listening silently in the corner, suddenly interjected,

"Baby, you must restrain your subordinates and never insult her.

If she wants to live, you can bring her back and give her to me, and I will arrange it myself.

If she judges herself, you must also treat her body well and give her dignity.

Anyway, when she was in Chuying, she also helped her grandfather and me privately several times. ”

Lu Pheasant's last sentence was said to Liu Ji.

Liu Ji was noncommittal, and only asked about the baby,

"I remember that under your account, there are many soldiers of the old Qin army?

Pick three hundred of the best of them and let them take the lead in the pursuers. ”

Lu Pheasant knew in his heart, Liu Ji's trick is called borrowing strength to fight, and it is also called borrowing a knife to kill.

Five years ago, in the final battle with the Qin army, the Qin general Zhang Han defected, surrendered to Xiang Yu, and was established as the king of Yong.

The 200,000 soldiers of the Qin army under Zhang Han were absorbed by Xiang Yu and became part of his army.

Who knows, in the blink of an eye, this newly incorporated Qin army, when it arrived in Xin'an, was deceived by Xiang Yu and all of them were killed.

Since then, the Qin army and the people hated Xiang Yu very much, and in the subsequent Chu-Han war, the Qin people and the Qin army were the most ruthless vanguard of the Han army, and followed Liu Ji with all their hearts, only hoping to be able to break Xiang Yu's body into thousands of pieces and cut them with thousands of knives.

Heaven is a good reincarnation, and the time for the Qin people to take revenge has finally arrived.
