Chapter 271: Liu Bang Is Desperate
The sound of killing shook the sky.
One Qin army after another, and one Zhao army after another threw themselves into the whirlpool of the battlefield.
In despair, King Xin of Han finally waited for reinforcements from Liu Jia, but even so, they could not withstand the Qin army's offensive from across the mountains and seas.
From the sun rising, to setting in the west, to a bright moon hanging in the sky, the moon's light was so magical that the Qin army generals could identify the direction and target without even lighting a torch.
Zi Shi.
The former military camp of Han Wangxin fell, and nearly 2,800 of the 8,000 guards died in the battle. Countless people were injured and captured. Han Wangxin ran into Cao Xin on the way to retreat. After a fierce battle, almost all of Han Wangxin's soldiers were killed.
The losses were all over, even he himself was struck in the shoulder by Cao Xin, and his left arm was immediately cut off.
The seriously injured Han Wangxin was rescued by Liu Jia, and at least he saved his life. As for whether he could survive despite being seriously injured and losing blood, it all depends on his personal fortune.
March 29th.
After two days and nights of hard fighting, the Qin army broke through the front camp of Liu Bang's army. The troops suddenly approached Liu Bang's central army. Facing the powerful offensive of the Qin army, Liu Bang, who was lying on the bed vomiting blood, ignored his fatigue and sent urgent reports to King Zhao Chen Yu one after another.
, requesting Chen Yu to quickly lead his troops to come for reinforcements. If it were a few days later, he would really commit suicide by jumping into the Zhang River.
In fact, judging from the flag of the Qin army's attack during the day, Liu Bang already knew that Li Yuan was going to be ruthless. The current situation is: the Qin army is attacking with all its strength, but the main force of the Zhao army is standing still, leaving Liu Bang alone.
The Zhao army took the blow. If this continues, Liu Bang doesn't know how many days he can hold on. After being defeated one by one by the Qin army, the morale of the Zhao army will definitely plummet. By then, the little strength Chen Yu has worked hard to preserve will eventually be wiped out.
scattered.
——.
Inside Julu City.
Chen Yu walked back and forth in the county mansion, unable to make up his mind for a long time. Zhang Liang stood on the side with a worried look on his face, and kept persuading Chen Yu.
"King Zhao, Duke Pei has sent five urgent messages in a row asking for help. We can't delay it any longer. For the sake of big things, please send troops quickly."
"Sir, don't be anxious. The Qin people are attacking so eagerly. Is it reckless or a trap? Let me think about it carefully." Chen Yu glanced at Zhang Liang with some displeasure and said.
Celebrities.
There are always some arrogant people. Take Chen Yu for example. In the Daliang area of Wei, Chen Yu has a very high reputation. This is the same as Zhang Liang is highly respected in Han.
Due to the same attribute, Chen Yu's attitude towards Zhang Liang has always been relatively cordial. However, this kind of polite intimacy gradually became unfamiliar after Chen Yu became the King of Zhao.
Princes, kings and ministers.
These are two completely different classes. These days, Zhang Liang's continuous urging has given Chen Yu a mentality of "Who is the eldest?" This mentality did not exist before Chen Yu became the King of Zhao.
"General Chen, Li Yuan's banner has been planted on the north bank of Zhangshui River. How can there be any trap? Even if there is, with nearly 60,000 soldiers, why are we afraid of him?" Zhang Liang said angrily. With him
It is rare for someone to lose his temper and lose his temper. But this time, Zhang Liang really couldn't help it.
Chen Yu was still the same Chen Yu who sat on the sidelines and hesitated when decisions were made. He did not change because he became the king of Zhao and commanded more troops.
"Zhang Zifang. I respect you because you are a descendant of the Korean royal family, so I give you face. Liu Ji is just a pavilion chief. He is lucky to be able to serve as the commander of an army. Now it is the people of Qin who want to kill him, not me. He wants to kill him.
What else do you want to do, do you want me to be buried with him?" Chen Yu's face was ashen and he shouted rudely.
"That's what King Zhao said." Zhang Liang's face turned blue and white for a while. He had always been treated politely by the princes, but he didn't expect to be scolded by Chen Yu for no reason. He originally wanted to throw away his sleeves and leave, but when he thought about Liu Bang
Still trapped in a difficult situation, after thinking about it for a while, he had to suppress his anger and continue to follow Chen Yu.
"Humph, I have my own plans for military and national affairs." Chen Yu waved his hand proudly, returned to his seat and continued to meditate on the map. Looking at the way he was stroking his beard, he really seemed to be strategizing. Of course,
Only the parties involved know what the facts are.
Chen Yu is not in a hurry.
Whether Liu Bang was miserable or not, to be honest, it really had nothing to do with him as King Zhao. After successfully taking the position of King Zhao, Chen Yu felt that Liu Bang was actually of little use, and at best he was just a cannon fodder.
For example, this time, the soldiers Chen Yu assigned to Liu Bang were mostly new soldiers who had recently been recruited. Such a new army had only one purpose on the battlefield. It consumed the energy of the Qin army and provided him with Chen Yu.
A well-planned major counterattack came down to create favorable conditions.
——.
attack!
Use all your troops to press forward and destroy all enemy resistance.
Long-range strikes by trebuchets, close-range shooting by crossbowmen, and detours by light cavalry, on the narrow battlefield between Zhangshui and Julu City, under the noses of tens of thousands of Zhao Jun generals on the city
, the Qin army is using hard facts to complete a counterattack.
"Da Qin, Da Qin!"
"Wu Hou, Wu Hou, invincible, invincible——!"
The shouts of thousands of Qin soldiers resounded through the sky and echoed between heaven and earth, making the Zhao soldiers tremble and unable to pick up their weapons. Li Yuan was also excited. It has been a long time since he went to the battlefield in person with his brothers.
We fight side by side. Today, he will have a good show of arrogance. Even if he is complained by Ying Yushu or nagged by Chen Ping later, he will still get on his horse and go to fight.
A strong wind blew against my face.
There is a bloody feeling.
The sweaty horse spread its hooves and ran along the gap opened by the Qin army's forward. Around Li Yuan, Gan Yong led a group of infantry and cavalry to guard him closely. This responsibility, his father
He has done it before, and today, it is his turn to fulfill it.
The long knife is in hand.
Li Yuan only felt that the strength in his body was returning rapidly. As the distance approached, he could already see the enemy's flag clearly. On the right side of the battlefield, Qin Army Captains Zhang Chun and Manqiuchen were fighting with Liu Jia
There was a melee between the two sides, and both sides were exhausted from the long battle. Liu Jia was one against two, but he was still as stable as Mount Tai.
"Get out of the way and wait until I capture Liu Jia." Li Yuan shouted, smashing his horse and slashing at Liu Jia with his sword.
"Retreat quickly!" Liu Jia exclaimed and immediately led his troops to retreat to where Liu Bang's central army was.
When Li Yuan drank, Liu Jia was extremely frightened. He had no burden to fight Zhang Chun and Manqiuchen. The abilities of these two low-level officers of the Qin Army were far behind Liu Jia's, but now, it was not the case.
Then Li Yuan, the god of killing, arrived, which made Liu Jia dare to fight and how could he fight.
retreat!
Especially in a melee between two armies, if you want to retreat, you have to hand your back to your opponent. Whether you can escape with your life in this situation depends entirely on whether God will give you face.
Liu Jia couldn't care anymore.
He immediately turned around and ran away, hoping to run faster than the others. This was also a shameless act of a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist. In this regard, Liu Jia and Liu Bang were no different in nature.
"kill!"
Facing their retreating opponents, the Qin army's morale naturally soared, and they shouted loudly to pursue them.
Liu Jia's war horse has long since disappeared. He only hates that his legs cannot run fast. Now he only hopes to surpass every soldier around him to win the chance of survival.
If Liu Jia had not escaped, he might have been able to survive for a while, but once he escaped, the Zhao army generals who had already lost their fighting spirit were immediately dispersed by Gan Yong and other Qin army officers, and more of them knelt down directly.
He fell to the ground and raised his sword high above his head as a sign of surrender.
Li Yuan kept staring at Liu Jia's back. This enemy general who looked similar to Liu Bang gave Li Yuan a feeling of déjà vu. Liu Bang - I'm here, are you ready?
The sweaty horse jumped into the air.
The horse's hooves flew and trampled directly towards Liu Jia's back. At the same time, Li Yuan's thick-backed sword in his hand reached across the waist and slashed straight towards Liu Jia's waist and abdomen.
"puff!"
The knife penetrated the body, and the soft internal organs and intestines were pulled out at once. The hot and dirty blood mixed with the feces in the intestines, creating a nauseating feeling.
Liu Jia is not dead yet.
With his eyes wide open, he suddenly saw a corpse whose lower body was still running forward. The legs that had lost the support quickly fell to the ground. At that moment, the twisted and twisted appearance looked cumbersome and funny.
.
"Who is this? Why do those shoes and fur trousers look so familiar?" Liu Jia thought blankly, and suddenly the world was spinning. A severe pain made him close his eyes tightly.
Liu Jia, who lost support in his upper body, fell into a coma after severe blood loss. The moment before closing his eyes, he saw in despair that a man and a horse were getting closer and closer like black clouds. Finally, he grabbed his hair and
It was thrown into the air violently.
"Liu Jia is dead. The remaining thieves have not yet been decapitated."
"Liu Jia is dead, the remaining thief will be crowned——!"
"Wuhou kills Liu Jia in the formation, long live Wuhou!" The voices of the Qin army generals grew from loud to quiet, from near to far. Gradually, Liu Jia could no longer hear him. He died in front of the formation like this. He was really unwilling.
.
The Qin and Zhao armies fought fiercely for three days.
On the first day, the Qin army broke through the left-wing front camp defense line guarded by Liu Bang. On the second day, the two armies fought hard all day and night. Han Wangxin and Liu Jia finally blocked the Qin army's fierce attack. On the third day, Liu Bang's general Liu Jia
Killed in action——.
Most of Liu Jiajun's soldiers, who had lost their last fighting spirit, surrendered, and the rest fled in all directions. On the fourth day, Liu Bang's army of more than 18,000 people only had less than 5,000 defeated soldiers left.
Relying on the favorable terrain of a high slope by the river, we struggled to support ourselves and looked forward to the quick arrival of Chen Yu's reinforcements.
"Is this the last time? I didn't expect that I, Liu Ji, would die like this, no different from the enemy generals who were defeated and killed." Liu Bang was extremely desperate. He gradually no longer held any hope for Chen Yu's reinforcements.
Hope, too, that he no longer has a strong desire to live in order to escape again.
Becoming a king and becoming a marquis is just a dream.
Becoming an emperor is a ridiculous dream that is far away and out of reach.
Looking at the soldiers lying on the ground one by one, and looking at the black battle formation of the Qin army gradually approaching in the distance, Liu Bang only felt that his legs were as heavy as if they were tied with sandbags, making it impossible for him to break free from the restraints and cages.
