Chapter 228: Defend the enemy's rebuke formation

Take out wisdom!

Liu Bang was planning a strategy to take Xingyang, but on another battlefield, facing a dangerous pass like Hulao, the vanguard of the Qin army, Shuma, could be said to have used up all the strategies he might have thought of, but he still had no choice but to Sima Ang, who could not get out of the pass.

War of verbal war!

Under the leadership of Shujian, every morning, a group of Qin soldiers who were specifically responsible for swearing and fighting came to Hulao Pass and shouted and scolded at the Pass. When they were thirsty, they took out their food from their arms and sat on the ground to eat. When they were tired and sleepy, they took off their clothes and armor, fell to the ground and slept soundly. After waking up, they shouted and scolded again until the sunset was not withdrawn.

For several days, the Qin army fought against the enemy's rebuke in front of the pass, but Sima Ang seemed to have not heard of it, and he was not allowed to hang the battle card.

At this point, Sima Ang is much stronger than Cao Ju, the Grand Sima in Xiang Yu's army who could not stand the aggression by Liu Bang.

In desperation, Shujian decided to attack the barriers!

However, the dangerous pass of Hulao Pass prevented the Qin army from effectively exerting its powerful combat power. Under the condescending attack of the Zhao army, Shujian had to order to withdraw his troops after several charges.

"Report to General She, the general has an order to order your troops to step up the attack on Hulao Pass to attract the attention of the Chu army!" When Shejian was worried about the long-term attack on Hulao Pass, he ordered his soldiers to send Han Xin's emergency order.

The Chu army finally arrived!

As long as the Chu army can be attracted north of Chenggao, Han Xin can lead the main force of the Qin army to pounce on the rear of the Chu army. At that time, the two Qin troops attacked each other forward and backward, and the Chu army will definitely collapse.

Shujian deeply agreed with Han Xin's plan, which is also the reason why he was worried about not being able to further increase the pressure on Hulao Pass.

"Send all the soldiers of the army to beat the drums and attack the pass!"

Shuma suddenly shouted, and he decided to launch another strong attack regardless of the cost. This battle must hurt Sima Ang. Only in this way can the Chu army speed up the marching speed to reinforce the Zhao army. Once the marching pace accelerates, the baggage troops behind it will become the best target of attack.

"Boundman, gather shooting and suppress!"

Shima roared and rushed forward with a sharp armor. Although the power of the Qin crossbowmen's concentrated shooting cannot be compared with the dense rain of bullets in later generations, at least in this era, it is the best way to suppress the enemy's firepower. The crossbow machine accurately fired and aimed at the mountain without any mistakes. The wave of crossbow arrows made the Zhao soldiers who had just joined the army at the pass hugged and shivered in the hiding place.

As soon as it appears, it will become an arrow pig. This is really terrible!

"All up, smash the stones and shoot the arrows out, you stupid pigs!" Coincidentally, just as the new soldiers of the Zhao army were uneasy about the upcoming bad luck, Sima Ang's angry voice also closed.

What will happen if you lose Hulao Pass?

Sima Ang was also a general who was in charge of the army. He was familiar with the terrain of the Hanoi County area. If he lost the Hulao Pass, his Chaoge City would definitely not be able to be protected. The next thing was that the Qin army was forced to run around like a duck. In the end, he might end up tragic death in the chaos like Chen Yu.

When Sima Ang thought of death, he couldn't help but fight a cold war!

"Damn it, it's not that easy to want my life!" Sima Ang carried the bronze sword fiercely, urging the soldiers to fight back at the risk of being shot by a crossbow arrow.

Under the pressure of the supervision team, the Zhao army soldiers began a crazy counterattack. With the help of the favorable terrain on the pass, the stone-beating wood that had been prepared in advance flew down like raindrops. On the narrow mountain road, the Qin soldiers crowded together had no way to avoid the flying stones. They could only lean their bodies tightly against the cliff, hoping that all the stone-beating wood on the pass would be consumed quickly.

An hour of fierce attack!

The result was the casualties of nearly a thousand soldiers, which was because most of the Zhao soldiers were new soldiers and their combat effectiveness was not strong.

The life of Shujian was not easy, but Sima Ang was even more sad than him. After this wave of attack, Zhao's soldiers were injured much more than the Qin army. After counting, nearly 5,000 soldiers were injured and lost the possibility of going into battle. Most of them were shot by Qin's crossbow arrows.

Thinking about it, the Zhao army soldiers who had no protection on their bodies had no ability to resist the bronze triangular arrows shot by the Qin army, and Sima Ang did not have the energy or ability to take care of how their soldiers avoided the Qin army's arrows. As for equipped with defensive armor, it was even more of a luxury. It would be great if a weak prince like Sima Ang could protect a piece of territory. How could he have the time-consuming and laborious problem to consider opening a furnace and smelting iron and creating armor.

On the battlefield, the law of survival and elimination is so cruel and bloody. Everything needs to be experienced with your blood and life. Once you are not careful, you will never have the chance to experience the next time.

"Hurry, go and urge the Chu army. If you don't come tomorrow morning, this Hulao Pass will really not be able to defend it!" Sima Ang panted and ordered the soldiers who sent the letter.

With the support of Hulao Pass, five thousand soldiers were actually lost in one battle. The huge gap in combat power made Sima Ang completely give up the fantasy of resisting the Qin army independently.

Once Hulao is lost, the Qin army can not only drive straight into the Hanoi County, but more serious is that if the Qin army goes east without stopping to kill, Xiang Yu's capital Pengcheng will be exposed naked in front of the Qin army.

By the river.

After two days and two nights of rapid march, the Chu army vanguard finally arrived at a foot away from Hulao Pass.

"General Long Qie, the Qin army is right in front of Hulao Pass, what should we do?" The person who asked was Xue Gong, the deputy general of the Qin army. As a deputy general, he knew his status and identity. In front of Long Qi, the fierce general who was second only to Ying Bu in the Chu army, he should maintain a respectful attitude.

Long Qi was originally a Sima under the command of Tian Rong, the King of Qi. Later, he admired Xiang Yu's reputation and defected to him. Since then, Long Qi has become the two generals of Dragon and Tiger in Xiang Yu's army with Ying Bu. However, unlike Ying Bu, who is quite ambitious, Long Qi is loyal to Xiang Yu and has no trace of selfish thoughts.

"Kill me and let Qin Gou see how powerful my great Chu Jianer is!" Long Qi shouted in a deep voice.

Long Qi, known for his bravery in combat, is deeply loved by Xiang Yu, and his temper is the same as Xiang Yu. However, Long Qi's tactical attainments are obviously not as good as Xiang Yu. He is more brave and lacks wisdom. He often considers using head-on methods to solve the problem when facing a war. It is precisely because of this reason that in history, Han Xin's plan and the entire army was wiped out.

Times have changed, but Long Qi's temperament is still there.

Facing the Shejian Legion who was trying to condemn the enemy in front of Hulao Pass, Long, who only commanded three thousand cavalry, decided to fight.

"General Long Qi, Qin Gou has more than 7,000 people in front of the pass. We have half of the number. Isn't it too late to wait until the main force of the Overlord follows up before fighting again?" Xue Gong saw that Long Qi intends to fight with the Qin army immediately, and he couldn't help but tremble. He had seen the bravery of the Qin people. Not to mention three thousand people, even if 30,000 people fight against the other 7,000 people, Xue Gong felt that it was not redundant at all.

"Hmph, Qin Gou has been stranded for many days before the pass, and he has been exhausted from fighting for a long time. Are you still waiting for them to escape back if you don't fight? Don't say more, I'll order all the soldiers of the army to cross the river and set off!" Long Qi looked unhappy, and could see that he was quite dissatisfied with Mr. Xue's submissiveness.

The dragon and the estimate is indeed correct.

Shima's troops could not capture Hulao Pass for a long time, and they were indeed a little tired, but they were not sure about it. Exhaustion did not mean losing their combat effectiveness. In fact, if Han Xin had not given any deliberate instructions before leaving, even if he had done all his money, Shima would have strived to climb Hulao Pass.

Since you are seducing the enemy, you must pretend to be a little bit like it.

In this regard, Shiba, who has rich combat experience, is very familiar with it.

A fierce attack of considerable strength made Sima Ang ask for help from the Chu army one after another, and then sent several scouts to inquire about the progress of the Chu army's vanguard troops. When he heard that the Chu army's vanguard general was Long Qi, Shuma secretly admired Han Xin's outstanding strategy.

"Tell us the order, the entire army will quickly get up and fight and retreat to Puban!"

Although Shuma wanted to fight a good battle with the Chu army, he was not a man who was dizzy when he saw the war. At present, the Chu army was in full swing, and fighting with Long Qi who was eager to fight would only take advantage of his wishes. Only by slowly seducing Long and chasing him is the best way to break the enemy.

When Long Qi chased, Xiang Yu was worried that Long Qi would be surrounded and eaten by the Qin army, so he had to lead the main force of the Chu army to follow up. In this way, the Chu army's logistics and baggage troops would be exposed naked to the Qin cavalry.

The sharp sword passed by like lightning in the air, and blood sprayed freely under the blade. When he thought of such a scene, Shima couldn't help but feel excited.

Wait, Long Qi, I will turn around and fight you in a decisive battle, but it is not now.

When Long Qi led his army to Hulao Pass like a storm, he saw the wretched and ridiculed farewell words left by Qin soldiers. At this time, Sima Ang on the pass actually witnessed the Qin army leaving and dared not pursue it.

"Why don't you chase your troops?" Long Qi stared at the guilty Sima Ang and questioned.
