Chapter 235 The setting sun is like blood
In the sky, a bloody setting sun floated on the Jin water, and ripples spread out with the summer evening breeze, bringing out bloody aura.
The battlefield that had been bustling all day long fell into a rare silence!
There is a dead silence around!
In fact, when Li Lie's cavalry carried Long Qi's head to the main battlefield, the climax of the war ended, and the next test was the finale of the two main generals.
Win, win again!
Xiang Yu, who has always been staggering, has always been a result of the situation, that is, charge, victory, entry into the city, and massacre! Even if it was a very cowardly battle in Linjin Pass, the Chu army stopped moving forward only because it was controlled by the Yellow River barrier!
Now, what is Jinshui?
If a stream that is shallower than the Zhang River can be regarded as a natural barrier, wouldn’t it make the heroes and heroes in the world laugh out loud?
However, if you continue to fight, the victorious world will inevitably tend to be the Qin army that is reinforced by cavalry. In fact, just as Li Lie led his army, Xiang Yu had already keenly felt that the fighter's plane was lost, and the courage of the Chu soldiers was exhausted with the arrival of the Qin cavalry.
"Tell me the order behind the Yingbu Army, the rest of the troops began to retreat!" In desperation, Xiang Yu issued an order to retreat.
retreat!
Xiang Yu's order was quickly transmitted to various battlefields of the Chu army. Zhonglimei, General Pu, Zhou Yin and other Chu army generals were all breathless. The feeling of fighting with the Qin army was not as good as the slaughter of the princes. They were never satisfied. Even if they were trapped and surrounded, they would bite you. Faced with such a fierce team, the first feeling of the Chu army was that they could avoid it if they could!
The Chu army retreated!
With the murderer behind Wang Yingbu, even if Li Lie followed behind and chased him, he would not have much to get.
"Tell me the order, the entire army will return to Puban, General Li Lie will lead the cavalry to guard the rear wing!" Han Xin, who was exhausted, breathed a sigh of relief and ordered.
In this battle, both sides can be said to have a draw.
In this battle on the Jinshui River, the Chu army damaged the powerful general Long Jie and about 7,000 elite troops, and the Qin army suffered about 8,000 soldiers, and a group of generals and officers including Shujian. The losses of both sides were roughly equal. However, in terms of the equipment of the reserve troops, the Qin army, which had the vast rear bases in Guanzhong, Hanzhong, and Bashu, would have to recover faster than the Chu army.
After this battle, many young soldiers in the Qin army will slowly grow up. The tasks of their older generation generals have been completed, and the baton will be handed over to the younger generation. One day they will replace the positions of the leader, captain, and military marquis who died in battle. The place where they will fight in the future may not be in the Central Plains, but in the four frontiers of the Qin Dynasty!
For Han Xin, this was his first time commanding a large army to fight against powerful opponents on the plains, and there were inevitably some lack of experience.
During the First World War of Jingxing, Han Xin mainly used cavalry as the main force. The mobility of the cavalry effectively made up for the number of Qin troops. In addition, Li Lie's outstanding record in the Mianmanshui area, this allowed the Qin troops to win a great victory!
There are many differences between commanding cavalry operations and infantry. In this battle, Han Xin gained experience that his coordination and command ability was strengthened when serving as the main general. For the Qin army under his command, as long as the gap between the various phalanxes and substitutions of troops was solved, the combat effectiveness would have a qualitative leap.
At the same time, Han Xin also needs to learn from the lesson that he cannot underestimate the opponent's potential for counterattack at any time. The battle is like this, although there are objective reasons why Xiang Yu is too strong, and there are still unfamiliarities in the cooperation between the various formations of the Qin army.
I believe that with this experience against the enemy, Han Xin will benefit a lot in his future battles.
In the history that Fu Ge knew, the showdown between Han Xin and Xiang Yu was not a victory in every battle. The siege of Gaixia was just a microcosm of the four-year Chu-Han War.
In that most famous battle in Pengcheng, Xiang Yu defeated Liu Bang's 560,000 vassal coalition forces with 30,000 elite cavalry. According to the records of the Grand Historian, the bodies of the princes' soldiers were cut off from the Sui River, and 30,000 to 560,000. In the face of such a huge gap in military strength, the fewer side actually won the victory. This shows that Xiang Yu's bravery and the weakening of the princes' army.
At that time, Han Xin had been appointed as a general by Liu Bang, and was responsible for coordinating and commanding various forces in the army of the princes. He was able to suddenly return from the battlefield in Qi and defeat the coalition forces one by one with a force of unstoppable force. At that time, not only King Liu Bang of Han did not expect it, but even Han Xin did not expect it.
Everlasting victory and unbeaten!
Nowadays, there are no generals who have never lost their battles. Some are just famous generals who constantly summarize experiences and lessons and constantly improve their combat command capabilities.
Although the result of the draw made Xiang Yu not very satisfied, he can only accept it for the moment.
The Chu army, which was attacked by Liu Bang, had no stable supply guarantee, could win the battle, but it would never win a battle with both sides. If all the elite subordinates were fought over in one battle, what would they use to turn around to deal with Liu Bang, Zhongshan wolf?
"Hmph, when I deal with Liu Bang, retake Xingyang and Ao Cang, and come back to find Qin Dog's foul air!" Xiang Yu thought angrily on the way back to the army.
"Overlord, can we just let it go. General Long Qi's corpse has not been regained yet, and this great revenge has not been avenged yet?" Zhou Lan stopped in front of the black horse, her eyes were red and her voice was loud. He had the strongest relationship with Long Qi. This battle damaged his best companion and felt extremely sad.
"Hmph, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Don't worry, when you have some settlements with Qin Gou, Chen Ping, you can go to Qin camp quickly and exchange the dragon for the serratic service?" Xiang Yu stood up, took a deep breath, and then ordered in a deep voice.
Long Qi was killed!
It was not just Zhou Lan who was sad.
In Xiang Yu's heart, Long Qi has almost become his clone. Compared with Ying Bu, who had ulterior motives, Long Qi completely defected to the Chu army because of his admiration for Xiang Yu.
In this sense, Long Qi is absolutely loyal and obedient to Xiang Yu. If such a powerful general loses, how can Xiang Yu not feel pain in his heart!
What's more, in fact, Xiang Yu had already been regarded as his own brother and his own shadow in his heart.
Take revenge and kill Qin Gou!
Xiang Yu's heart was filled with blood boiling and burning, but reason was reminding him that it was not the time to show up with the Qin people. Since the strategy of using the strategy had gone bankrupt, he should withdraw his troops in time.
"No! Follow the order of the Overlord!" Chen Ping bowed and bowed his head, responded with a whistle and turned around and left.
Watching Chen Ping leave, Fan Zeng, who was standing beside him, finally couldn't help but feel angry and advised: "Overlord, Chen Ping has always been capricious, so I'm afraid there will be no return when I go!"
"Father Ya, I'm too worried! Chen Ping is just a verbal man with no beauty in his heart. If he wants to leave, then let him get out. It's no big deal."
Xiang Yu sighed disapprovingly and said.
Chen Ping! What made him feel regretful was not Chen Ping who was only clamoring around him, but his former stern doctor and his current opponent Han Xin.
Unexpectedly, Han Xin has grown so much this year. Although Han Xin still has some loopholes and gaps in tactical aspects, it is extremely exquisite in its big strategy.
If it weren't for Han Xin's design, Long Qi would never have been able to enter the heavy encirclements set up by the Qin army. The targeted tactics of the cavalry against the cavalry made Xiang Yu, who was determined to rescue, lose the most precious time to rescue Long Qi.
In two hours, if it were another Qin army, Xiang Yu had reason to believe that Long Qi would never be able to support it for two hours. Xiang Yu had enough confidence in the combat power of this brave general under his command.
At the end of August of the third year of the Xinyuan period of the Qin Dynasty.
The confrontation between the Qin and Chu army in the area of Hanoi County was finally broken. The Qin army, which did not win the expected victory, returned to the west bank of the Yellow River to rest. Similarly, the Chu army, which did not achieve its goal, began to turn to Xingyang under the leadership of Xiang Yu, and vented a sense of anger on Liu Bang's Han army.
Xiang and Liu turned against each other, and the princes of Guandong were in chaos. Some supported Xiang Yu and some defected to Liu Bang. For a moment, the princes who had worked together to resist the tyrannical Qin began their internal struggle!
The endless internal struggle of the princes is undoubtedly the result that Fu Ge is most willing to see.
The primary purpose of this large-scale war between the two sides of the Qin army was to expand the territory of Qin, and the secondary purpose was to trigger a civil war between princes in order to fight for a place of survival. As long as this ideal goal can be achieved, the Qin army's return will basically achieve its goal.
After learning about the unfavorable situation on the northern front, Fu Ge, who was in Wu Pass, hurried to Hangu Pass and happened to meet the main force of the Qin army led by Han Xin.
"Shishuai, General Shejian was killed. Xin really humiliated Shuai Shuai's kindness to treat him!" Han Xin's face was sad, and he was trusted by Fu Ge. He was promoted from a surrendered doctor to a general. Even if this kindness cannot be said to be unique, it can be regarded as a kindness.
In order to repay Fu Ge's kindness, Han Xin has been working hard to show his talents on the battlefield. He hopes that he can win every battle, play triumphant songs, make achievements, and be among the kings and princes.
"General, why do you need to blame yourself? I can predict that Xiang Yu's life will be even harder. If you lose Long Qi, people will definitely be in the Chu army. Even if you fight with our army again, you will unconsciously accumulate three-pointers. Isn't this the victory of our army?"
Faced with a powerful force that has worked hard and paid a considerable price, Fu Ge gave them the first one to encourage, confidence and courage. Not to mention that this battle has not been lost, even if it is defeated, it is no big deal. As long as everyone has the confidence to win, the final victory will be finally to the Qin army.
Chapter completed!
