Chapter 179 Come but not go

As Fu Ge expected.

Dingjun valley.

The rugged and difficult mountain roads and overgrown forests quickly flooded the Han army's flag. In this unfamiliar place, Chen Wu, the pioneer of the Qin army, who was eager to move forward and retreat, fell into a dilemma of being unable to advance or retreat.

"Dong! Chen Wu, you dog thief, hurry up and die!"

"Chen Wu, you scum——!"

"Chen Wu, don't struggle anymore, you'll surrender. For the sake of past love, I won't make things difficult for you." Not far away, the proud laughter of the Han general Guan Ying came.

The shouts resounded throughout the mountains and forests, as if thousands of Han troops were pouring out in an instant. Just as Chen Wu led his troops to pursue Guan Ying, Han general Fu Kuan led three thousand Han troops out of the slanting stave, and cut off the Qin army's way back. At this time, Guan Ying, who was responsible for the seduction task, also waited for an opportunity to turn around and kill. The morale of the Han army was greatly boosted when attacking each other. The shouts echoed in the mountains and forests for a long time, with great momentum.

This sudden change suddenly made the Qin soldiers who were immersed in the joy of chasing and panic. They all looked panic, with Han troops all over the place, and the enemy could not estimate how to fight this battle. In such a panic situation, Chen Wu could no longer gather the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

"Damn it, you're a little more tender if you want to make me die!"

Chen Wu knew that if he didn't fight to the death today, he would have to die. He took off his upper armor and shouted barely. Chen Wu is not a fool, nor is he a fool without a brain. He knew what the outcome would be if surrender was, and what would the end of a capricious villain be.

There is no place to die!

Of course Chen Wu didn't want to have such an ending, so he had to choose to continue fighting.

The ambush battle became extremely bloody under repeated interceptions by the Han soldiers. In order to break through the siege, Chen Wu used all his skills. Five thousand Qin soldiers also rushed back and forth under his leadership. Every step he took, soldiers would fall down, and screams would sound every moment. This was a carefully arranged killing! The dense forest and complex terrain made the brave Qin soldiers lose the direction of their march. In the process of getting lost and finding the right path, they fell one by one in the Han army's "conspiracy".

"kill!"

Chen Wu roared angrily and stabbed a broken halberd into the body of a Han soldier hidden behind a tree. At the same time, two sharp arrows were nailed firmly to his back. Conspiracy happened all the time, which is the law of jungle field battle. For the unprepared Qin army, death is like a ghost entangled around them. As long as they have not broken through the siege, their lives will be swallowed up anytime and anywhere.

"Haha, Chen Wu, you can't run away!" Somewhere behind the Void Piaomiao, Guan Ying's smug laughter and shouting came.

"Guan Ying, you bastard! If you have sex, come and take Grandpa Chen's head!" Chen Wu gasped and leaned against a big tree and roared. At this moment, he really had no strength to support him. His spirit was about to collapse. After more than half an hour of hard fighting, there were only less than 300 Qin soldiers who could still surround Chen Wu. When he came, there were only 5,000 elite soldiers, but now there was only one left. Chen Wu was really crying without tears.

"Chen Wu, do you think I dare not? Don't worry, I won't let you, a traitor, die easily. I want you to watch the soldiers around you die in pain one by one, and then only you, Lianlian, are left--!" Guan Ying's voice came from the depths of the dense forest, with a cruel and cold aura.

Cat playing with a mouse - Guan Ying's mentality at this time was like a cat that caught a prey, full of joy after success. At this time, he urgently hoped that someone could share his happiness, and even hoped to see the desperate and helpless expression on Chen Wu's face. Lan Tianguan's unwillingness to fail, he finally made up for it twice this time. Guan Ying could even imagine how glorious it would be when he carried Chen Wu's head in front of Liu Bang.

"Ha, Chen Wu, I didn't expect you to be so tough. If you have such a proud person, why didn't you commit suicide at Lantian Pass? That would be enough to leave a name for loyalty and wise." Another voice of advice sounded. This time, Fu Kuan was speaking. His personal relationship with Chen Wu was originally good, so his tone was a little gentler than Guan Ying.

"You dream!" Chen Wu spitted bloody saliva and hissed in anger. His severely injured body was shaking.

"General Fu, don't talk to this traitor. Just shoot these Qin dogs into a bunch of hedgehogs!" Guan Ying sneered and gave the order.

"Brothers, aim and shoot!"

With a command, arrows rained like locusts, screams came one after another. Chen Wu closed his eyes in pain and died in the battlefield like this. The entire army was wiped out. Five thousand elite soldiers lost their lives because of their carelessness. The blame was hard to escape. What else can I think about? Even if I can escape back, I believe that Shuai Fu and the General would not be lucky.

"It's Qin Gou's main force here, retreat quickly!"

"General Li Jie's reinforcements have arrived, we are saved!"

The urgent shouts of the Han army and the cheers of the surviving Qin soldiers interspersed, making Chen Wu unable to tell which one was true or which one was false, and the reinforcements were really arrived? How could this be possible? Li Jie had not had much friendship with him, and in order to fight for the position of this vanguard, he had already blushed. How could he come to rescue so quickly?

Although his heart was filled with despair and felt that reinforcements could not appear, Chen Wu, who had a hint of hope, opened his closed eyes. After all, people want to live. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, who is willing to die? Chen Wu was a realistic person, otherwise he would not have chosen to surrender to Qin.

"Where is General Chen Wu? Shuai Fu and General ordered me to come and answer!" Chen Wu heard this sound of youthfulness and confidence clearly. It was Li Jian's voice.

"I'm here!" Chen Wu, who was extremely happy, shouted hard, but his voice was extremely weak, and his voice was already hoarse and could not speak.

"The general is here!" Finally, the soldiers beside him lured Li Jian over.

At the same time, Dingjun Mountain Pass.

Under the urging of Han Xin, Li Shang and other Qin generals, Fu Ge's face was extremely gloomy. He had just received a reward from the front. Chen Wu's vanguard troops were trapped in an ambush circle set up by the Han army. Life and death are unknown at present, and Li Jie, who received the reinforcement order, has rushed to rescue him, but he didn't know if it was too late.

"Ship Fu, Chen Wu was attacked by rashly, because the creditor was improper, so the dereliction of duty cannot be entrusted. Please ask Shuai Fu to remove Xin's position as a general and punish him strictly according to the military law!" After receiving the unfavorable news of the war ahead, Han Xin apologized for guilt.

"The general doesn't have to do this. Now our top priority is to save the soldiers in front as soon as possible. If you can save one, you will be the one. As for who will bear the responsibility for the defeat, we will discuss it later!" Fu Ge said in a deep voice.

After this unexpected defeat, the responsibility must be held accountable, otherwise the military law will lose its constraints and significance, and the generals will follow the examples of this unauthorized action and prohibit them. Whether it is Chen Wu, Han Xin, or even Fu Ge himself, they will bear the responsibility for this defeat.

But now is a time when the Han army is in a very close battle. The two armies are fighting each other. Changing generals at the last stage is a taboo in military strategists. Once Han Xin is withdrawn, who can command these thousands of troops?

Just when Fu Ge was anxious, Li Jie, who was given the order to reinforce, lived up to expectations. He led 5,000 reinforcements to retreat to the Han army and rescue Chen Wu. He gathered the Qin army's defeat scattered in the dense forest, and the remaining injured soldiers were less than 2,000. In other words, Chen Wu's defeat directly caused the Qin army to lose 3,000 elite troops. This can be regarded as a major loss for the Qin army, which has a total strength of only 50,000.

"Ship Fu, General, Chen Wu was sentenced to death-!" Chen Wu, who was carried back by the soldiers, was covered in blood and covered in scars. It was obvious that he had done his best to break through the siege.

"Go and call the military doctor Zheng and take General Chen Wu to treat the wound. Let's talk about other things later!" Fu Ge's majestic and sharp eyes swept over Chen Wu's face. He patted Chen Wu's shoulder lightly and ordered. Defeat is not terrible. What is terrible is losing confidence in victory. Looking at the dejected soldiers, Fu Ge understood that he must win a battle as soon as possible to win back the confidence of the soldiers.

However, from another perspective, Chen Wu's defeat was also beneficial to the Qin army. Since Fu Ge led his army into Guanzhong, the Qin army has not yet suffered a defeat in a head-on confrontation. The pride and complacency of the soldiers in the army grew. Even many grassroots generals in the army often only saw the optimistic side when fighting, and ignored the adverse situation. For their opponents Liu Bang and his Han army, many Qin army generals still believed that they were just defeated generals under their command, so there was no need to worry too much. This defeat could just make them clear and congested and feverish minds.

"Ship Fu, I believe that if the enemy successfully attacked the enemy, it is very likely that we will take advantage of the new defeat of our army and conduct the night attack on our army camp in the evening." After slightly soothing the turbulent morale of the army, Fu Ge and Han Xin returned to Xishan camp and immediately put forward his views on the current situation of war, Han Xin, who had recovered his calmness.

"Does the general want to give Liu Bang a greeting?" Fu Ge stared at the Han army camp in Dingjun Mountain marked with red dots on the map, with a knowing look in his eyes.
