Chapter 139 Desperate
In the city of Shangjun, Fusu and others looked at the letters sent by flying pigeons from Chu, and no one had a trace of joy on their faces. "I didn't expect that the city of Surabaya is not easy to break, and the Chu army is indeed."
It’s been a month and a half, and the two sides are still at each other’s throats, and now they simply won’t even fight anymore.” Fusu sighed.
Zhang Liang smiled and said: "This is just temporary. I think the reinforcements from Qi will arrive soon. By then the balance between the two sides will be broken. If the Qin army knew that there were men from Qi to help the Chu people, they would definitely
He would take action first, or lead his troops away. But in my opinion, Zhang Han would not lead his troops back before the battle started."
"But the Chu army has blocked several strong attacks by the Qin army. Even if the Qin army attacks again, the city of Surabaya still cannot be broken. By then, Zhang Han will still have to withdraw from Chu with his troops. And the result we want is
It no longer exists." Fusu said.
Han Xin suddenly said: "Prince, in fact, our idea may be wrong. This time Zhang Han led a hundred thousand troops to attack Chu with the intention of winning, so the people under his command must be the most elite troops in the court, so the others who stayed in the Qin State
Although there are still many people in the city, they are just a ragtag group, so as long as Zhang Han's 100,000 troops cannot return to Qin, our army can march directly to Xianyang without worrying about too much resistance."
Fusu, Mengtian and others looked at each other, and suddenly woke up and said: "Yes, what General Han said is that if there are still enough people in Qin to resist us, then Hu Hai will not send people to me to go to the county council for peace.
, which means that the Qin Kingdom is completely empty now, and we can send troops as long as we know the battle situation in Chu Territory."
"No, in addition to knowing the situation of the war, we also need a suitable excuse to send troops. Prince, please don't forget that you just negotiated peace with Hu Hai. Once you tear up the peace treaty and send troops, you will definitely be despised by everyone in the world, even ours.
The soldiers may not be determined to follow the prince to attack Qin," Chen Ping said.
Fusu smiled and said: "It's not easy to find an excuse. The reason why Hu Hai ascended to the throne that day was not because he conspired with Zhao Gao to tamper with the emperor's edict. I can use this as an excuse to send troops to attack them."
"This excuse is no longer an excuse." Chen Ping shook his head and said, "Since the prince has been named the King of the North and agreed to the peace negotiation, then you are Hu Hai's minister, which means you have recognized his throne.
Orthodoxy, so we have to find another excuse."
Fusu was puzzled when he heard that his excuse was not valid, but when he looked at several other civil and military ministers, he found that the expressions on their faces were the same as Chen Ping's, they also thought that his excuse was not valid. Fusu
Only then did we realize how important the excuse to send troops at this time is, but now there is absolutely no way.
The 30,000 troops in Surabaya City were already ready to go. Xiang Liang stood at the top of the city and looked at the Qin army's camp, and found that they had indeed begun to retreat. Although they were moving very carefully, there were still many troops stationed in place.
It was used to confuse, but in the eyes of Xiang Liang, a man who has experienced many battles, he can still see the difference. Xiang Liang turned to Liu Bang and said: "General Liu, the Qin army is about to withdraw from our army's attack range.
I think it’s time for us to open the city gate and attack?”
Liu Bang seemed to be thinking about something else. It wasn't until Xiang Liang said it for the second time that he said: "Okay, then General Xiang will lead the pursuit, and I will sit guard in the city. If the retreat belongs to the Qin army,
The city also has a guarantee."
"In that case, I'll set off." After Xiang Liang finished speaking, he got off the top of the city and headed towards the city gate. Liu Bang murmured on the top of the city: "It seems that you are in a hurry to die.
If you die with these 30,000 people, it will be considered a grand burial."
"Kill!" As soon as Xiang Liang led the 30,000 Chu troops out of the city gate, he pointed his sword at the Qin army's camp and shouted. The soldiers behind him rushed forward with his shout, the weapons in their hands sparkling in the sun.
Their eyes were full of murderous intent. Because it was these Qin people who caused many of their own lords to die in Surabaya City. It was these Qin soldiers who wanted to drive them all out and continue to become the subjugated people. The Chu army charged very fast.
After a while, they rushed to the Qin army's camp. The spears and longges in the hands of the front team had swept aside all the obstacles that prevented the enemy from charging. The army drove straight in and entered the camp.
However, there were only a few hundred Qin soldiers inside who came up with weapons. Facing an enemy several times their size, these Qin soldiers were quickly dispersed and fled for their lives, while Xiang Liang led most of the people and kept attacking.
Rush forward. Because Xiang Liang believes that no matter how fast these Qin people retreat, they will not be able to evacuate them all so covertly in just a few days. There must be many soldiers not far away, as long as he catches up.
Then you can beat the drowned dog hard.
Everything seemed to be as Xiang Liang expected. Although there was no large group of Qin troops along the way, there were always a hundred or ten stragglers of the Qin army who were overtaken by them. From their mouths, Xiang Liang learned that Zhang Han's army had left.
He was not far away. After killing several small groups of Qin troops, Xiang Liang finally saw a group of people hurried forward not far ahead. Although their number was large, their formation was loose and loose.
Xiang Liang was overjoyed and pointed his sword at them and said: "Brothers and warriors, now is the time to avenge the people and soldiers of Dachu. Come with me."
Charge!" After saying this, he rushed forward immediately, and the soldiers behind him followed closely.
When the Qin army heard the shouts of killing coming from behind, they did not dare to look back and ran forward desperately. This made Xiang Liang even more convinced that his attack this time was correct and he would be able to severely hit these invading Qin troops this time.
The army is gone.
Although some Qin soldiers rose up to resist, one group had great morale, while the other group was only focused on escaping. The battle soon turned into a one-sided massacre. The nearly 3,000 Qin soldiers were quickly slaughtered.
Seeing that the Qin army was so vulnerable, Xiang Liang was even more encouraged. He hurriedly called for the scouts and said: "You quickly return to the city and explain our situation along the way to General Liu, and then let him
Then send a large army out of the city to annihilate all these Qin people together." Then he still led his men and horses to chase down. He had no idea that he had become blind, thinking that as long as he pursued, the Qin army would be there for him.
Wai Knife.
Xiang Liang continued to move forward with his men and horses, and finally found thousands of Qin troops in a valley ahead. He quickly ordered the entire army to charge and killed all these Qin soldiers. After these Chu troops were killed along the way,
, no longer as cautious as before, after hearing Xiang Liang's order, he rushed directly to the valley without stopping.
The Qin army in the valley also saw the Chu army rushing up, and they all screamed and ran towards the exit of the valley. However, in the view of the Chu army, their actions were unnecessary, because even if they escaped from the valley, they would still have to die.
Under his own sword. When the Qin army escaped from the valley, the Chu army happened to rush into the valley. Just when they were about to rush out of the valley, they suddenly heard bursts of drumming coming from the cliffs on both sides.
The soldiers couldn't help but feel strange. They all looked up and saw countless Qin soldiers on the cliff pushing down huge rocks from above and shooting arrows from their crossbows.
When they saw that there were obviously tens of thousands of Qin troops above, these 30,000 Chu troops who wanted to take advantage were immediately confused. They all turned around and wanted to exit the valley. But this valley was what Zhang Han had been searching for for several days.
The newly selected one was broad in the middle, but the entrance and exit were very narrow and could not allow many people to pass through at the same time. So the Chu army huddled together at the exit, which made it easier for the Qin army's arrows and stones to hit the target.
In a short time, nearly half of the Chu army was killed by rocks and arrows.
Xiang Liang knew he had fallen into a trap when he heard the sound of drums on the cliff, but before he could react, the Qin army on the cliff had already sent stones and arrows towards him, so he only had time to shout.
After two calls to calm down, it was discovered that the Chu army was all in chaos. They all crowded towards the exit, and then became the target of the Qin people. Xiang Liang's heart ached for a while. These were all from the Chu State.
The most elite soldier.
Seeing the Chu army in chaos below, Zhang Han didn't have a smile on his face: "My plan was to attract all the Chu troops defending the city, but only tens of thousands of troops came."
That's all, this didn't do much harm to the defenders of Surabaya. It was in vain that I sacrificed nearly five thousand soldiers to lead them here. It seems that they are really going to return this time." Zhang Han became even more angry when he thought of this.
He was suffering from a fever, and loudly ordered: "Send my general order, not a single one of these tens of thousands of Chu troops can be left alive, kill them all!" He wanted to use the blood of these Chu troops to extinguish his anger.
After the Qin army threw all the stones, they found that less than 5,000 Chu soldiers were left in the valley, so they rushed down from the mountain with shouts. By this time, all the Chu soldiers who were still alive in the valley were dead.
Injured and dazed by the ambush just now, they had no intention of resisting. When they saw tens of thousands of Qin troops rushing towards them, they were so frightened that they just stood there and waited for the trouble.
The Qin army was not polite. They fought all the way and nearly half of the Chu army was killed.
At this time, Xiang Liang had recovered, and he hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, let's fight hard. If we don't fight, our whole army will be annihilated!" After saying that, he took the lead and rushed towards the Qin army. The Chu army behind heard Xiang Liang's voice.
After saying this, he came to his senses and shouted to greet the Qin army. But now he remembered that it was too late to resist. Xiang Liang and the remaining thousands of troops were already in a desperate situation. (To be continued.
