Chapter 26 The Battle of the White Horse II
The Qin Army's right wing had stabilized due to Li Yuan's outstanding personal performance, but on the left wing and the center, the Qin Army's formation had been shattered by the intervening coalition forces.
After struggling for two hours, Sima Yin on the left wing, with more than 3,000 infantry, was trapped on a high slope east of the river beach. This high slope was just a blind spot caused by river erosion. Sima Yin was trapped.
At this point, the only two directions left to break out of the encirclement were the west and south. In addition, the Qin army's generals moved all the way from Quyu to Baima. They were trapped and depleted of horses and men. It was obvious that if reinforcements were sent, Sima Yin's Qin army might be spared.
At the location of the Chinese army, Yang Xiong relied on 4,000 cavalry and nearly 3,000 crossbow troops to engage in a melee with Cao Shen and Xia Houying. After all, Yang Xiong, who was wounded and commanding the command, was mentally weak, and the Qin army's formation was forced to retreat step by step.
, as soon as I saw it, I was almost flattened by the pressure.
"Ahem, quickly, let Captain Li on the right wing come closer!" The successive tight military situations made Yang Xiong highly nervous. The wound on his left elbow that had just been healed began to burst open again, and the blood stained his half-armor.
Yang Xiong had a pretty good grasp of the situation on the entire battlefield. The Qin army on the left, center and right, namely Li Yuan on the right, still had the strength to fight. Sima Yin, the most dangerous one, had no time to take care of himself. Although the Chinese army was elite, it lacked the strength to fight.
The generals had poor command and fell into a situation where they were passively beaten.
——.
The army is in desperate situation.
Amid the expectations of Yang Xiong and the Qin army in the middle, Li Yuan finally rushed over from the right wing. Facing the chaotic battle situation, Li Yuan couldn't help but frown.
No matter how strong an individual is, he cannot stop thousands of horses and thousands of troops.
When Yang Xiong saw Li Yuan's figure, he was close to collapse. He finally managed to hold on until Li Yuan arrived. He hurriedly handed over the command to Li Yuan and then passed out due to blood loss.
Looking at the bewildered Qin army generals, Li Yuan felt his heart heavy. Yang Xiong felt relaxed and passed out. Are these more than 20,000 generals really going to be annihilated here?
?
The sky was getting dark, and it seemed that he couldn't bear to see the killings on the ground. Li Yuan looked up at the dark sky. The heavy dark clouds made people breathless. Is this the last battle? Not willing to give in, Liu Bang's counterattack
It was more violent than Li Yuan expected. Tens of thousands of troops participated in this battle. The Battle of White Horse, which can be called a great battle, has only one incident in the history books. Sima Qian's Spring and Autumn Period brushwork was too powerful. He didn't even have time.
By relying on two thousand years of wisdom to change his own destiny, the Qin army can be saved.
No!
It was not Li Yuan's wish to die in such a confused way. For one hundred and three days, every day in this chaotic world, he worked hard and never thought of giving up.
Today, it's the same.
Li Yuan was determined, and the Qin Army's central army erected a large flag with the word "Li" in place of Yang Xiong's flag. He wanted to use the flag language to tell all the Qin Army soldiers on the battlefield not to give up or abandon. He
Use this method to tell Liu Bang and other enemy generals on the battlefield that if you want to take Li Yuan's life, just go ahead!
"Perhaps one day we will die on the battlefield and shed our blood; one day we will lose our lives and never leave our hometown; one day we will have our heads cut off and die miserably. But I want to tell you, it will never be the case.
Today, it will never be here, never -!" Li Yuan looked solemn and his voice was high-pitched, with a power that penetrated people's hearts. The change of the Qin Army's flag made many Qin Army soldiers move to the center.
The army gathered around, and when Li Yuan's words reached their ears, their dazed eyes began to regain their luster.
"We are the descendants of Fei Lian Eilai, who can walk thousands of miles, and whose hands can tear apart tigers and leopards; we are the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the flags point to the enemy; we are iron-blooded warriors, with every scar proving our glory!"
Fei Lian and Er Lai were ministers of King Zhou of Yin and Shang Dynasties, and were the proud ancestors of all Qin soldiers. More and more Qin soldiers heard Li Yuan's passionate words, and the heroic ambitions accumulated in their hearts were reflected here.
He was awakened in a moment. Before Li Yuan, no general had ever shouted and shouted in front of the formation, and no general's words could have made people's blood boil so much.
"Behind us is a surging river, and we have no way out! The rebels killed everyone in Daliang. If we surrender, we will die. If we throw ourselves into the river, we will die. We will die on both sides. Why don't we fight to the death with the rebels!" Li Yuan's words
His voice was hoarse, his expression was ferocious, and the barrel of his spear was stained with blood.
Gan Houbo, who looked like an old farmer, glared hard at the enemy soldiers approaching from the opposite side. His face was as red as red cloth, and his eyes revealed a heart-stopping murderous intent.
"Fight to the death, fight to the death!"
"Till death!"
Amidst the heart-stirring shouts, almost all the soldiers of the Qin army began to shout crazily. Once their despair and frustration found a breakthrough, the energy that burst out made people look at them.
"Fight to the death!" Zhou Xing shouted in pain. His right leg was pierced by an enemy spear. He simply bandaged it with an armor robe and continued to fight. Not far away from him, Gu Yun
Under the cover of Wu Qin soldiers, they fought as a team against more than thirty rebel soldiers. Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, Gu Yun's performance was unhurried and measured in advance and retreat, Peter's rules.
Perhaps out of a desire to protect the weak, Gu Yun integrated into the Qin army very quickly. Most of those Qin army officers, who were big and powerful, heard about the competition between Gu Yun and Zhou Xing, and were very interested in Gu Yun, who seemed weak but had great martial arts skills.
Skilled companions, they quickly developed a rapport.
——.
The Qin Army flag with the word "Li" flying high was not only seen by the Qin Army generals, but also by the coalition soldiers who entered the Qin formation. However, in the rear formation, Liu Bang did not know that the Qin Army commander had changed.
Seeing the Qin army's chaotic formation changing, Liu Bang looked surprised. Feeling something was not quite right, he asked around: "What's going on? Did you kill Qin Dog's general Yang Xiong, or did you kill him?"
Killed the dog thief Li Yuan?"
The Qin army, which was in desperate situation, suddenly burst out with huge power, and every general seemed to be killing them desperately. This made the soldiers of the coalition almost think that they had encountered the iron-blooded division that swept across the six countries.
Xiao He was also a little panicked. The battlefield was not his specialty. After calming down for a while, Xiao He ordered his horse to quickly report the battle situation. After receiving the urgent report from the front, Xiao He hurriedly stepped forward and reported back: "Pei Gong, the Qin thieves seem to have changed.
I have captured the general, and seeing that the flag bearer is named Li, is this battle difficult to win?"
Liu Bang stroked his gray beard, his face changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes: "It's getting more and more interesting, Li Yuan, this thief is actually quite good, I actually underestimated him." In a desperate situation.
Under such circumstances, Liu Bang asked himself if he could single-handedly inspire soldiers who lacked fighting spirit and make them take up arms again.
Anyway, only such an opponent can live up to Liu Bang's reputation. The battle at Baima Crossing was the first turning point of my army's western expedition.
At this time, Liu Bang was full of fighting spirit. He laughed in front of the generals and said: "Li, if you guessed it correctly, the little thief Li Yuan has seized power, and Yang Gouxiong is too cowardly, but this is okay.
Chapter completed!
