Chapter 251 Defeat the Chu army

Long Qie was ordered to stay in the army and be ready to send troops to help Xiang Yu at any time. When he first saw that Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Yu were about to be annihilated under the impact of the Qin people's horses, Long Qie did not send troops to support because

He knew that the powerful cavalry of the Qin army would be helpless no matter how many men and horses he sent out. Instead, they would go up to die, so he refrained from sending troops and just sent all the archers forward, preparing to retreat if Xiang Yu and others were defeated.

He was able to respond in time. But what happened next made him overjoyed. Those armored cavalry that were originally indestructible actually fell to the ground. Then Xiang Yu led his men and horses to kill them back again, killing the Qin army's men and horses in one fell swoop.

They were intercepted, and relying on Xiang Yu's influence, the Chu army fought bravely, and even used half of the Qin army to defeat them until they could not advance any further. Long Qie's blood boiled when he saw it, and he hurriedly ordered the Chu army who stayed behind to attack.

Be prepared and step forward at any time to defeat the Qin army together with Xiang Yu.

Just when Long Qie had arranged everything and all the soldiers were waiting for Long Qie to give the order to attack in full force, suddenly there was a cry of killing from behind them. Tens of thousands of Qin soldiers holding various weapons shouted loudly

They shouted and rushed towards them. The Chu army stayed there for a while. They never expected that a Qin army would suddenly appear behind them, and judging from their rushing posture, they were all elite men. The hearts of the Chu army

They just thought about how to kill them, and never thought that an enemy would come from behind, so the Chu army immediately became confused and began to flee in all directions. Even Long Qie's scolding had little effect.

In fact, this is also the biggest drawback of the Chu army. When Xiang Yu won consecutive victories, these troops seemed to be elite and capable of fighting the Qin army. But in fact, they still lacked valuable experience on the battlefield.

, that is the experience of failure, so once it fails, the Chu army will be in chaos. If it weren't for Xiang Yu's timely turn around just now, and the heroic killing of the Chu army who had been following him for a long time, even the Qin army's chain of horses would have been defeated.

If everyone is dead, the Chu army will only have the idea of ​​​​escape.

The Chu army dispersed, which made Han Xin very happy. On the one hand, he ordered his soldiers to separately pursue and kill the Chu army that had lost their fighting ability. On the other hand, he led more than a thousand of his own soldiers straight to the Chu army's central camp.

Knowing that as long as the Chu army's commanding flag is chopped down with one sword, the Chu army of more than 100,000 people will be completely defeated.

Long Qie also knew this clearly. Now he could only command a few hundred people around him. He hurriedly ordered people to pass the news of the attack on the rear to Xiang Yu who was fighting in the front, and he himself

Then he took the hundreds of people to stay in the Chinese army camp and guard the banner representing the Chu army.

When Han Xin led his men and horses to the center of the Chu army, he saw Long Qie and his men standing there waiting for them. Long Qie glanced at Han Xin and said, "You Qin people are so despicable. You actually sent troops to attack us from behind."

, don’t you know the battlefield rules since Zhou Dynasty?” His tone was very disdainful and contemptuous.

Han Xin laughed loudly and said: "Zhou Zao was destroyed by our Qin Dynasty, but you still use them as an excuse. Moreover, you people are just rebellious people. You and I are not at war with each other, but our Qin Dynasty is suppressing the rebellion, so why do you need to talk about any rules?"

What? As long as you defeat your Chu army and take the Chu land as our land of Great Qin." At this point, Han Xin pointed the long sword in his hand at the center camp of the Chu army and said: "Attack with all your strength and chop down the flag.

The general will definitely report it to the emperor, and he will be rewarded heavily!" Upon hearing this, all the Qin soldiers shouted and went to kill him.

Seeing this, the Chu army also formed a formation to block the outside of the camp. Their eyes were full of death, and they were all old men who followed Xiang Yu from Jiujiang. After the two armies met, the sound of killing was heard immediately, and soon after

, dozens of people fell under the enemy's weapons, but no one on both sides had the intention to retreat. Although the Qin army is still unable to enter, the longer it takes, the more beneficial it will be to Han Xin and the others, because he brought

Thirty thousand men should be able to quickly annihilate all the Chu troops who were scattered and had no fighting ability. At that time, with hundreds of men fighting against tens of thousands of men, no matter how powerful Long Qi and his soldiers were, they would not be able to hold it.

This camp and that big flag.

Long Qie also understood this deeply, but he could only stay here. Now he just hoped that Xiang Yu could quickly defeat the enemy in front of him, and then lead his men and horses to fight back with the momentum of victory, and together with him, he would defeat the Qin army.

The army was defeated.

Although Long Qie's idea was good, it was no longer possible to realize it, because just now, Fusu had given the order for the entire army to attack. When Fusu was standing in the formation and saw a sudden commotion in the Chu army's formation,

When many Chu troops were fleeing in all directions, he knew that Han Xin's 30,000 troops had succeeded in sneak attack from behind. "Now is the time for the Chu troops to see the true strength of our Qin army." Fusu said and immediately

He ordered the whole army to attack the Chu army. He and Han Xin wanted to attack the Chu people from both sides.

All the soldiers of the Qin army knew that their troops had reached the enemy's back, and their morale was greatly boosted. Without any supervision from the generals, these soldiers rushed towards the Chu army as quickly as possible.

When Xiang Yu was still thinking about how to defeat the 200,000 Qin army with these troops, and then take advantage of the victory to attack the Central Plains and become the overlord of the Central Plains, he suddenly found that more soldiers rushed out of the Qin army's camp.

And it seemed that their morale was very high, and they were not affected at all by the killings and the falling of the horses. This made Xiang Yu very puzzled. But then he knew the reason. The soldiers sent by Long Qie

The people found Xiang Yu one step ahead of the Qin army and conveyed the news to Xiang Yu that the Qin army was raiding the rear.

After hearing the news, Xiang Yu's expression suddenly changed. If the camp is broken and the flag falls, the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos. What's more serious is that his retreat will be completely blocked by the Qin army.

I am afraid that all of his tens of thousands of troops will die in the hands of the Qin people. However, even at this critical moment, Xiang Yu did not panic. On the one hand, he ordered his soldiers to continue fighting against the advancing Qin army, and on the other hand, he

Thinking of a way to resolve it. "If we lead the troops back to the camp at this time, the Qin army behind us will definitely pursue us. Coupled with the Qin army behind us, we will have no chance of escaping under attack from both sides. But if

If we block the Qin army in the front here, the dragon on the other side of the camp will definitely not be able to block the Qin army that is several times his size. Once the flag falls, the whole army will lose their fighting spirit. It seems that the only way to break through is from the side.

." Thinking of this, Xiang Yu looked to the left and right sides. At this time, the Qin army had not yet formed an encirclement, so the Chu army had not deployed troops on the left and right sides, which gave Xiang Yu an opportunity.

Xiang Yu is also a decisive person. He knows that if he wants to take all the Chinese troops out now, he will probably cause more people to die at the hands of the Qin people, so he gritted his teeth and decisively ordered: "The whole army breaks out from the left

, and take a detour to Jiujiang City."

Although the Chu soldiers did not know why Xiang Yu suddenly issued such a military order, they had always admired Xiang Yu's bravery in battle, so they followed Xiang Yu and others to the left without any objection.

The Qin army obviously did not realize that the Chu army either advanced to fight to the death or retreated to meet up with its rear army, but actually fled. Unprepared, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to rush out.

When Fusu used this tactic, he had thought about what the Chu army would do, but in his impression, Xiang Yu would not flee even if he was in defeat. But today Xiang Yu gave the order

But it was completely beyond Fusu's expectations. Not only did he break out from one side with his men, but he also left the army behind him. In fact, Fusu was inspired by the legend of Xiang Yu that has been circulated in China for thousands of years.

He was deceived. Maybe he committed suicide in Wujiang River in history, but that was because he had already become the overlord of the Central Plains at that time, and was just one step away from becoming the emperor. Of course, he could no longer accept failure, but now Xiang Yu is just Southeast

As a small overlord in a corner, it is not a shame for him not to be able to defeat the Qin people, so now he will lead his troops to break out, thinking of continuing to fight the Qin army in Jiujiang.

Seeing the Chu army going to the left, Fusu paused for a moment and immediately ordered: "Chase, we must catch up with the Chu army no matter what, and we cannot let them escape to the next city, otherwise we will have trouble capturing this Chu land."

Difficult."

The troops immediately took orders to pursue them, and many troops rushed towards the center of the Chu army to join Han Xin's 30,000 troops to control the tens of thousands of Chu troops there first.

At this time, there were less than a hundred people left around Long Qie in the Chu camp, and he had suffered many injuries. He relied on his strong spirit to keep himself from falling. And among these more than a hundred people

Outside were tens of thousands of Qin soldiers. They had already disarmed and guarded the Chu troops who had completely lost their fighting spirit, and then came here to join Han Xin in besieging the Chu troops here.

Seeing that Long Qie didn't surrender with only such a few people, Han Xin had to admire his loyalty, so he didn't order the sergeants to attack, but just surrounded them, otherwise many of these people would have died long ago.

times. Of course, this was also because Han Xin issued the order after seeing that the overall situation was completely controlled by the Qin army. Otherwise, even if he wanted to save Long Qie's life, he would have decisively issued a killing order under the pressure of the situation.

At this time, seeing more and more Qin troops approaching him, Long Qie already guessed that the Chu army had been defeated, but he didn't know whether Xiang Yu died on the battlefield or broke out. He sighed.

Said: "Overlord, Long Qie has done his best, and I can be considered as repaying your kindness." He took out the long sword from his waist and slashed towards his neck... (To be continued
