Three hundred and thirteenth chapter who fights
In August, the autumn wind blows.
The cold wind from Mobei began to visit the fields and cottages in Yandi, blowing the empty huts to the east and west. Compared with Handan and Daijun, which are gradually becoming more and more vibrant across the water, the situation in Yandi is...
It's like being in a ghost land.
After waiting for a long time, the coalition forces, with the Qin army as the backbone, Changshan army and Chu army as branches and leaves, advanced in three directions, pressing towards the Huns in Youyan with a wild and unstoppable momentum.
The battle at Luanshui was unfavorable, Yuyang was defeated miserably, and the Chu army in Jixian County was also desperately trying to break out. Not long ago, the Huns were in a good situation. With the rare concerted efforts of all the princes in the Central Plains, the battle line suddenly turned into a tragic situation.
On the 17th, more than 40,000 people from the Allied Army's Middle Route Army crossed Yishui, leaving the windy dividing river behind. All the Allied Army officers and soldiers were wearing thin armor, holding standard weapons, and striding towards the Yishui River with their heads held high.
North, then north——.
"Da Qin, Da Qin!"
"The world is in turmoil, how can we be safe and healthy? Qin has sharp men, who can compete with us!"
I don’t know when, among the coalition forces, the Qin Army-dominated troops began to sing loudly. The war song gradually changed from the most tragic and profound "Jiujiao Lao Qin, restore our rivers and mountains, and the blood will not be shed."
, a truce until the end" was replaced by the domineering paragraph "Qin has sharp soldiers, who can compete with him?"
From the faces of each Qin army general, Li Yuan could clearly see the pride and pride in their hearts.
Easy water surges.
The story of Jing Ke’s assassination of Qin has long since faded into the dust of history and is no longer mentioned.
Facing the Xiongnu, the common enemy of all countries in the Central Plains, we stood side by side, fighting to the death for several lifetimes. As the commander-in-chief of this coalition, Li Yuan felt extremely pressured and at the same time extremely proud.
There is only a slight difference between a coach and a general, but the difficulties and tests they face are much greater. The gap between leading a hastily gathered joint army and leading a Qin army that knows itself and the enemy is so great that Li Yuan almost
Gonna give up.
The so-called coalition, at best, refers to the arrangement and combination of various interest groups; at worst, it refers to a group of communities entangled with each other for temporary interests and purposes.
Within the coalition.
All forces have their own demands.
Even the Chang Shan Army, who was most eager to rescue the Chu Army, also had interests. Zhong Limei hoped to serve as the vanguard in the attack in order to repay Xiang Yu's promotion. Chang Shan Army was willing to take the lead. This was originally a good thing, but the problem lies in
, Zhong Limei pointed out that his army's equipment was too poor, and asked Li Yuan to exchange some Qin army's standard weapons and armor for the Changshan army.
Although the hostility between Qin and Changshan has been eliminated, the estrangement still exists. In this case, providing weapons to Changshan's army is no different from the Qin people's eyes. And if it is not
To meet Zhong Limei's request, the coalition forces will inevitably appear to be in harmony with each other. Whether Li Yuan's order can be obeyed by the Changshan Army remains to be seen.
It is definitely not possible to give them all. Unless Zhong Limei agrees to surrender to the Qin State, it is impossible not to give them. If nothing is given, the officers and soldiers of the Changshan Army will become resentful towards the Qin Army.
If Qin, the strongest country, wants to completely control this force, it not only needs strong military support, but also superb political skills.
In order to better coordinate the work, Li Yuan had to suppress his anger and spend more energy on this. After holding many internal meetings and repeatedly stating the situation on the front line to Chen Ping, Li Zheng and others who were left behind, Li Yuan
, the Qin Army provided the Changshan Army with 3,000 eliminated battle armors and bronze swords and halberds.
As the iron smelting technology of the three major military industries gradually matured, the Qin army also began to replace weapons and armor in batches. In an era when the application of iron became more and more popular, the original bronze weapons began to withdraw from the Qin army's equipment sequence.
The needs of the Changshan Army were calmed down, and most of the conflicts within the coalition forces were resolved. As for the 500 soldiers of the Wei Army, they were just here to make soy sauce. Wei Bao only sent a school captain to lead the team. Once they arrived at Daijun,
Greedy for life and afraid of death
The guy pretended to be sick, and the 500 Wei soldiers were like scattered sheep, and they started misbehaving in Dai County. In the end, Li Yuan gave the order to arrest these Wei soldiers and throw them into prison, which ended the absurdity of the Wei people.
show.
After resolving internal disputes.
Li Yuan immediately led the middle route army to cross Yishui and go north. In order to prevent the main force of the coalition forces from approaching Jixian, Mao Dun ordered Xu Buhun, king of Youguli, to lead his troops to attack. However, Xu Buhun was not in a position to destroy the Qin army's decoy troops at Luan River.
, repeatedly mobilized his generals to the Luanshui battlefield, which made Li Yuan's army face to face. Except for some stragglers from small tribes, there was no large-scale Xiongnu tribe to block or exist.
By the time Xubuhun came to his senses, he realized that he had been tricked into swaying the tiger away from the mountain. The main force of the Qin army had already arrived within a hundred miles of Jixian.
Once the Qin and Chu armies converge, the 100,000 Xiongnu troops surrounding Jixian are likely to be attacked from both sides. Although the Huns still have the advantage in terms of total strength, the ferocity of the Qin army still makes Xu Buhun feel a wave of pain in his back.
cold.
In fact, without Li Yuan's efforts, Xu Buhun felt as if his head was no longer on his neck as long as he thought of the cold eyes of Shanyu Maodun staring at him.
In shock.
Xu Buhun quickly withdrew from the siege of Luanshui and led more than 20,000 troops of his tribe southward. Relying on his strong horse power, Xu Buhun finally blocked Li Yuan's army before Mao Dun could take his head.
The siege of Luanshui was immediately resolved.
Gan Yong's troops, who had completed their mission and were exhausted from the battle, were still resting in place. The Huns could break camp and leave, but they, who were mainly infantry, could not just leave.
The gathered Yan people had many injuries and illnesses, making it difficult to travel long distances. Moreover, the Qin army was stationed in the dangerous area of Luanshui, and the crossbowmen had little protection. The Huns had nothing to do. Once they left, Xu Buhun would kill a carbine
, surrounded by enemies on all sides, Gan Yong was worried that the Qin army would suddenly collapse.
"Ma Jin, you lead the generals of your headquarters and the defecting Yan people to the east from the waterway. According to the predetermined plan, General Han Xin's right army should be not far downstream of the Luan River." Gan Yong looked at it visually.
Looking at the messy tent abandoned by the Huns, I felt unwilling and irritable.
"General, what about you?" Ma Jin asked in confusion.
"That guy Xubuhun has oppressed us for so long. If we just settle the matter like this, it won't work. Just wait and see me come back with Xubuhun's head." Gan Yong shouted with confidence.
Among the generals of the Qin army, Gan Yong was the youngest and the most trusted by Li Yuan.
In every previous battle, Gan Yong's troops were part of the charge trap, but this time, as a decoy troop, Gan Yong fully felt the hardships and difficulties of the battlefield.
This is a stage that he must go through in his growth process, and only after going through it can he bear greater pressure when leading an independent battle in the future.
Ma Jin watched Gan Yong leave with a group of brave soldiers, and his heart was full of envy. Once upon a time, he was just as young, and he was able to pursue his ideals without hesitation.
"Let's go!" Ma Jin shouted and turned around. Already middle-aged, he no longer had such passionate impulses, but was more calm and calm.
The reason why Gan Yong was able to leave with peace of mind was because he believed that Ma Jin could handle the follow-up matters well. This was a heavy trust, and Ma Jin knew it in his heart.

Jixian battlefield.
The Chu army's breakthrough momentum became weaker and weaker.
The generals of the Chu army, who were running only on two feet, finally felt the fatigue caused by hunger after overcoming the initial momentum. Although Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang and other generals kept boosting their morale, they still could not move forward.
of more.
"Hey, Xiang Zhuang, you lead your team southward, and your cavalry will follow me to kill the Huns." Xiang Yu roared angrily, pulled out his black-tipped horse, and wanted to lead his cavalry in a counterattack against the Huns' cavalry formation.
"Overlord, this is absolutely impossible. If you have three strengths and two weaknesses, how can Zhuang go back to see the Prime Minister and his wife?" Xiang Zhuang shouted anxiously.
"Xiang Zhuang, this is an order. Your mission is to lead everyone out and fight back. As long as you can rendezvous with the reinforcements and fight back, who can take my life, Xiang Yu, in this short time?" Xiang Yu shouted.
, without looking back, he led more than a thousand Chu cavalry to meet the Xiongnu central army.
The domineering Xiang Yu finally found himself again on the battlefield after experiencing a low period of being besieged. What he said was right.
In this battlefield of the cold weapon age, it would not be easy to kill Xiang Yu.
Xiang Zhuang and all the Chu army generals looked at Xiang Yu charging into the enemy formation with respect. At this moment, their tired bodies suddenly regained their vitality.
Have to admit it.
Xiang Yu's invincible heroic performance on the battlefield has indeed doubled the combat power of the Chu army's generals. This may be a level that Xiang Zhuang will never reach.
"Da Chu, Da Chu, break out!" Xiang Zhuang shouted with enthusiasm.
Time is the most precious thing for the Chu army. Every extra minute of delay may put Xiang Yu and his cavalry men in more danger.
The Chu soldiers who were determined to break out of the encirclement were all shouting, panting, and desperately rushed towards the weak point of the Huns' encirclement.
"Xiang Zhuang is here, who dares to fight!" Xiang Zhuang shouted with red eyes. He was also riding a black horse, wearing a red robe and holding a halberd. He looked no different from his cousin Xiang Yu.
, except for being one size smaller.
"Who dares to fight!" The Chu soldiers who shouted were unstoppable. They ran desperately, hoping to use their own strength to win a chance to survive for their hero, the Overlord Xiang Yu.
Because they knew that the safety of Chu State depended on Xiang Yu.
If everyone else returns, but Xiang Yu dies on the battlefield, the result will be more serious than the Chu army being wiped out. A country without a backbone is destined to have no future.
Once Xiang Yu dies, not to mention the Qin State, even bandit forces like Yingbu and Peng Yue will not take the Western Chu regime seriously. When the time comes, the Chu State will be attacked from all sides and fall apart internally. Xiang Zhuang does not think that
