Chapter 282 Hulaoguan Battle VII
Lucky.
Things always come to those who are prepared, Li Yuan firmly believes in this.
When he saw Wang Shang and Zhang Ping's team coming from the back mountain, Li Yuan knew that he was still the unshakable winner in this fight with Xiang Yu.
It's not because of God's blessing, but because of having more foresight than the other person.
The morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted by the arrival of reinforcements. The roaring Qin soldiers began to press on their opponents with unparalleled momentum.
At the end of the powerful crossbow, the force cannot penetrate Lu's silk.
The nervous Chu army finally collapsed. Not only the ordinary soldiers, but also some generals also felt deep despair. The Qin army in front of them, these Qin soldiers, were like Xiaoqiang who could never be defeated.
One after another pounced on them. This kind of fighting method that was not afraid of life and death was experienced by the Qin army that once had a glorious record. Now, they desperately found that the unyielding old Qin people were back.
"Overlord, where are you?" Chu general Zhou Lan grabbed a Xiang Yu soldier who had been scattered and shouted.
"On the high slope of the top of the mountain." Before his soldiers could complete the answer, Zhou Lan led a group of soldiers towards the top of the mountain as if they were fleeing.
Zhou Lan certainly did not join Xiang Yu to achieve further meritorious deeds. He just felt that he could no longer fight. Since he could not fight again, he might as well retreat early.
——.
Very strange.
At the moment when the Qin and Chu armies were killing each other, the two generals Xiang Yu and Li Yuan met but did not fight. They exchanged a few words and talked about the hardships on the road to hegemony.
Li Yuankong bore the title of the second generation of a rich, rich and handsome man, but in reality he was just a grassroots who could not be more careless. As for Xiang Yu, although Xiang Liang and the Xiang family were behind him, he was also almost defeated by Xiong Xin and Song Yi.
Such bombastic conspirators are ignored.
"Li Yuan, if you dare to surrender, how about Xiang granting you the title of a vassal?" Xiang Yu's eyes showed a complex expression of admiration. The young man opposite him was not eye-catching at first sight. He was just an ordinary person.
He is just an ordinary general of the Qin army. However, after a real battle, I found that this man was really unreasonable and unscrupulous.
surrender--.
This overlord Xiang Yu really has a heart of pity for heroes. He is cruel to ordinary people and kind to those who look up to him. Such a Xiang Yu's behavior is really impressive. No wonder Lao Liu was defeated by Xiang Yu once in history.
Once again, he was able to survive and be resurrected.
"If you want to fight, then fight. Why do overlords talk so much?" Li Yuan sneered, but did not move his feet. He would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of an ox. After finally fighting for a piece of foundation, he has a group of brothers who will accompany him in life and death.
Naturally, Li Yuan would not be interested in working for Xiang Yu, not to mention that Xiang Yu was a short-lived boss.
Mountain forest rocks.
They are all natural battlefields.
The cliffs and rocks in the mountains are more rugged and steep than ordinary flat areas. For Li Yuan, who has practiced fighting under special conditions, flexibility and adaptability are his advantages over Xiang Yu. Of course,
Make good use of it.
"Do you really think you can escape from a certain family's sword? Aren't the princes and kings enough?" Xiang Yu was furious and shouted angrily. In Xiang Yu's heart, among the seventeen princes, who is not a hero? Li Yuan was granted the title
For a junior to be king is already his greatest reward.
"Kings of princes, Overlord is really generous. It's just that what Li wants, Overlord cannot give. Speaking of which, in today's battle at Hulao, both Qin and Chu will suffer losses, and only one person will gain the advantage." Li Yuan smiled indifferently and said lightly.
For Li Yuan, Xiang Yu's appreciation is just a feather on the top of Mount Tai. Neither one nor the other will affect the others. Because of Xiang Yu's insistence, the Qin and Chu armies now have a deep grudge that cannot be solved.
.
"Who?" Xiang Yu asked with his eyes focused.
Although Li Yuan is an opponent, he is a figure that Xiang Yu admires. Even if Xiang Yu does not accept what such a person says, he will take it to heart.
"Didn't the King of Han send you a letter? He would raise his troops out of Wuguan and flank our army from Nanyang County. At this time, I think he has already sharpened his sword in Nanyang. Didn't the Overlord get any news?
"Li Yuan replied with a mocking smile.
He was too lazy to persuade Xiang Yu to be so stubborn. People who were fooled and helped count money were either heroes or fools. Xiang Yu was just that kind of person.
"You——!" Xiang Yu was furious and was questioned sternly by a junior. For someone accustomed to high positions, he had not heard such retort for a long time...
This period of smooth sailing made him more and more angry, and he gradually began to be unable to listen to the advice of his subordinates. What made him even more ashamed and angry was that when he thought about it carefully, this Hulao Pass
After fighting to the death and working hard, it was really possible to make a wedding dress for Liu Bang. According to Liu Bang's thick and dark style, once he was let out of Hanzhong, it would be extremely difficult for Xiang Yu to drive him back.
Xiang Yu, who was respected as the Overlord by all the princes, was only temporarily blinded by the praise. When he gradually understood what Li Yuan said, the fighting spirit in his heart also gradually faded away.
If we continue to fight, what will be the use? Let alone whether we can kill Li Yuan. Even if we defeat the Qin army, the Chu army will be severely weakened. If Liu Bang really makes a comeback, with a group of exhausted Chu soldiers,
What effect can a few wounded generals have?
Mountain top.
The great banner of the Qin army is still flying. Its existence inspires one Qin army soldier after another to march forward bravely. Its existence gives them confidence and strength, and nothing else, because it represents Li Yuan, the Qin Dynasty.
The new prince is still fighting and has not given up.
In this era of cold weapons, the role of a general is more in strategy and morale-boosting. After all, there are not many people like Xiang Yu who go into battle as if they are the first to ascend. Even Xiang Yu, after becoming the leader of the princes, basically no longer
Now that we are on the front line, this decisive battle with Li Yuan is also Xiang Yu's first battle since the Julu War.
"Li Hou——!" came a shout. Wang Shang led a group of soldiers to run and sweat profusely. When he finally saw Li Yuan still alive, his face turned pale with fright.
For him, who started from a young age and whose name is only Wang Laoliu, Li Yuan is heaven and everything. Without Li Yuan's support, how could he, a small pawn in the Qin army, become the leader of the Qin army like he is today?
The senior generals of an army can also make powerful opponents fail repeatedly.
"This is your subordinate. Okay, very good. I hope that one day, we can have a good fight without any ties." Xiang Yu put his sword into its sheath with a "choking" sound, nodded towards Li Yuan, and strode forward.
Turn around and go down the pass.
All the way.
Although the soldiers of the Qin army were blocking the front, Xiang Yu passed by them as if he didn't realize it. Facing this unconventional and extremely brave man, no one had the courage to step forward and stop him. For ordinary Qin,
For the generals and soldiers, such a plague god only hopes to get better and better.
"Overlord, I have one more message for you. Pengcheng is in danger, please come back quickly!" Li Yuan stared at Xiang Yu's somewhat lonely back, and suddenly, a burst of sadness and pain surged into his heart.
Xiang Yu is a proud and lonely man.
With a surname, there are flaws.
But he is genuine, not hypocritical, not pretentious. If you appreciate someone, you will appreciate him, and if you hate someone, you will hate him. Such a hero died prematurely, leaving only a song of grief, which only adds to the sadness.
"Thank you!" Xiang Yu didn't look back, but waved to Zhou Lan, Ji Bu and other generals who were still fighting, signaling the Chu army to break away from contact and retreat!
After Wang Shang arrived, Zhang Ping, who had defeated Ji Xin's troops, also joined the battle group. The Chu army's situation became increasingly unfavorable. Although there were Yu Ziqi and Ding Gong in the Chu camp outside the pass,
And some miscellaneous forces from the small princes can be used, but these soldiers who were frightened by the cruel battle situation may be able to let them hold the camp, let them attack the pass full of dead people, I am afraid that no general will take the general order.
The Chu army retreated like a tide.
In this fierce battle, the Chu army lost nearly 10,000 elite soldiers. This did not include the disappearance or death of a large number of generals like Ji Xin. Guan Jian was under Ji Bu. This Chu army has always been the main force in the charge. They
The loss also caused Xiang Yu to lose the ability to continue attacking in a short period of time.
As the side guarding the pass, the Qin Army undoubtedly took advantage in this forceful attack with a huge disparity in strength. Added up, the Qin Army suffered more than 2,700 casualties, including: those who ambush Ji Xin.
In the First World War, Wang Shang and Zhang Ping were paired
With a tacit understanding, Ji Xin's intervening troops were completely wiped out at the cost of less than fifty men; in the battle at the pass, the Chu army's biggest casualties did not come from the last-minute storm, but from the hopeless and meaningless attack before.
The battle of filling the pass.
Li Yuan looked up and saw the damaged Qin army's banner still flying on the top of Hulao Pass. Li Yuan couldn't help but have his thoughts rise and fall.
Finally passed another level!
This process of breaking through obstacles and taking risks made Li Yuan both painful and happy again and again.
This fierce battle at Hulao Pass started in early July and lasted for ten days. Although it was not long, in terms of the intensity of the battle, it was more cruel than any battle Li Yuan had experienced before.
battlefield.
Ever-changing.
The plans laid out in advance always seem to be a little out of touch with the reality.
Han Xin's Northern Expedition troops were on the north bank of the river. I don't know how the battle was going. Faced with the encirclement of Zhong Limei, Zhang Er, Zhao Xie and other princes, I wonder if he could fight his way out and carve out a world for the Qin army in Hebei.
As for Hou Yingbu's plan to rebel against Jiujiang, I don't know whether Zhaoping's lobbying was successful. However, Yingbu was also a tycoon. Li Yuan never knew what he would think and how he would do it. What he just said to Xiang Yu in the end was unknown.
In short, it was actually just a premonition in his heart.
Yingbu should not give up this rare opportunity.
