Chapter 285 I am the King of Han
The battle between Qin and Chu armies on the Zhang River was not successful for a while, and the fierce battle in the middle of the night could not change the situation where both sides were evenly matched. Whether it was Xiang Yu or Fu Ge, all they could do was perseverance.
Xiang Yu was hoping that Ying Bu would come to help earlier, while Fu Ge was also waiting for reinforcements.
Although the distance from Julu to Nanqinying in Zhangshui is farther than Yingbu, Han Xin's actions are undoubtedly much more determined than Yingbu, who has different ambitions.
As long as Han Xin arrives at the battlefield first, Xiang Yu will have no choice but to retreat!
Once this battle ends with Qin's victory and Chu's defeat, the end of the second battle between Julu will be confirmed. At that time, the Chu army, which suffered severe damage and was short of food and food, could only choose to retreat to Pengcheng.
Xiang Yu still had the opportunity to withdraw his troops, but in the battlefield east of Puban hundreds of miles away, Han King Liu Bang and his surprise attack coalition were already in a desperate situation and had no choice but to retreat.
After the battle of Zibo Camp, Liu Bang's nerves were disturbed by endless torture, and the ones who gave him this pain were not others, but Qin general Li Lie and his cavalry troops.
The most important thing is to attack thousands of miles away from surprise.
Liu Bang originally thought that his bold strategy must have been beyond the expectations of the Qin army. He thought that the Qin army, which was dragged down by the Chu army, would not be able to send elite troops to take care of his partial division. He thought that even if there were pursuers blocking it, it would never be the evil star Li Lie.
However, he was wrong.
It was so outrageous.
It was not until he caught a glimpse of the blood-devouring Li Jingqi of the Qin cavalry that Liu Bang understood why he was defeated repeatedly and was defeated again and again in the hands of Fu Ge.
Fu Ge, is this guy still human?
How could there be such a perverted person in this world? He is in danger, but he still wants to bite his opponent with a dying death. Such a person is like a venom-squirting snake, and he can't touch it.
From the end of March to early April, on the way to Julu to Puban, Liu Bang and his 60,000 princely troops suffered a lot. For those soldiers whose fighting spirit was boosted by momentary impulse and desire, longing can only quench their thirst for a while, but cannot solve the long-term.
How does it feel to be chased by Qin cavalry behind your butt?
That is a painful memory that I will never forget in my life.
So, in order to survive, some soldiers with weak minds deliberately dragged behind. They held their hands high and knelt on the ground waiting for the Qin people to capture them.
Instead of staying in the army of princes and suffering, it would be better to surrender the Qin people early, whether they beheaded or captured, at least their legs would not have to be moved with difficulty.
"King Han, look, after only five days, my subordinates have been missing by nearly half. If I run away, wouldn't I, the King of Wei, become a bare-legged person?"
Compared to Liu Bang, Wei Bao was in a worse mood. He was so excited by Liu Bang's encouragement that he thought that another troubled time was about to come, and the King of Wei, who had already declined, would have a chance to recover. Wouldn't you think that things would not develop as Liu Bang said. The Qin army, who had seen through Liu Bang's strategy, sent out the most elite cavalry to chase after him.
Although the number of Qin cavalry soldiers was less than 10,000, the combat power was amazing. The number of princes was 60,000. Unfortunately, they were a group of unscrupulous mobs. These people were okay to bully the common people. It would be a fantasy to fight with the regular army of Qin. Of course, Wei Bao didn't know these four words, but the meaning was the same.
"Well, King Wei calmed down. Puban was right in front of us. As long as we crossed Linjin Pass and burned the ships crossing the river, no matter how capable the Qin cavalry is, they will have to eat the northwest wind in Hedong. We can enjoy the beauty and wealth of Guanzhong." Liu Bang smiled bitterly and comforted.
Puban was indeed right in front of him, but he had no confidence in whether he could successfully take Liu Bang. One hour ago, he had sent King Zang Tu of Yan to lead his army to attack the ferry. If everything went well, he might have succeeded at this time.
At this critical moment when there were natural barriers before and there were pursuers behind, Liu Bang had no choice but to think about it in a good direction. As for the consequences of not being able to rush to rush, he didn't dare to think about it.
"Report to the King of Han, and the King of Yan urgently reported that the Qin army burned the ships at the ferry first, and guarded the other side of the shore, so we could not cross the river." Just when Liu Bang imagined that a miracle could happen, a scout who reported the news broke all his dreams.
"What did you say? This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible?" Liu Bang stepped forward, pressed the soldier's neck, and then questioned loudly while exerting force.
"Well, Han Wang is not a little - he didn't lie!" The scout who thought Liu Bang was suspicious of his false words and explained in panic, "Didn't you know that Liu Bang was completely confused at this time?"
"King of Han, is it that King Yan was blocked in front?" Wei Bao was a little further away, but he also saw what was happening here. The angry expression on Liu Bang's face suddenly made Wei Bao understand that his beautiful wish had been shattered.
"Haha, Qin Gou, don't bully people too much. Even if I, Liu Bang, are forced into a desperate situation, will never surrender. If you have a genitals, come up and take my life."
Under a series of major blows, Liu Bang's nerves were on the verge of madness. At this time, he decided to turn around and fight.
A dying counterattack is not completely unsustainable. At this time, the combat power and potential of the soldiers will be stimulated. If the remaining more than 40,000 princely troops were all the same, it would be difficult to swallow this huge coalition with Li Lie's cavalry alone, but as the saying goes, one person has his own heart, each has different. Liu Bang has the intention to counterattack, but others may not necessarily have it.
At least, Zang Tu and Wei Bao, two more powerful princes, did not intend to throw all their soldiers here.
If you can't beat it, you have to fight hard. How can you have such a fool in this world?
If Liu Bang wants to die, then let him die.
But don't take care of yourself.
As for two legs that can't run four legs, it doesn't matter. The 40,000 vassal forces of all sizes are less than ten. If the Qin cavalry wants to chase and kill, they will not be able to take care of them all. As long as the unlucky person is not themselves, they will not care about the lives and deaths of others.
Of course, the Qin army can also divide its troops to pursue, but in that case, the Qin cavalry with weak forces will not be able to form the overall combat effectiveness. A cavalry with a maximum of 3,000 people is a powerful army, and a cavalry unit with only a few hundred people is nothing.
Just as Liu Bang and Wei Bao received desperate information from the scout, King Zang Tu of Yan had led his more than 16,000 Yan land athletes to leave the main force and ran along the Yellow River towards the Anyi area in the north.
Before running, I sent someone back to tell Liu Bang and others that Zang Tu was already quite kind and righteous. If he was a little more ruthless, Liu Bang and others would be afraid that they would still be in the dark and wait for the news that Zang Tu had captured Lin Jin Pass.
Capturing Linjin Pass, this good dream is over.
When Zang Tu saw the rushing river flowing, the ferry was deserted and there was no ship, he realized that he had completely let Liu Bang, the big liar, play.
What a big plan for the Thousand Miles Raiders, bullshit!
Along the way, Liu Bang kept boasting that there was his secret in Linjin Pass. Whenever the coalition of princes arrived at the ferry, a team with Chinese characters would greet him.
This is really ridiculous.
The Han army did not see any of them. Zang Tu carefully looked at the other side, but they saw more than a thousand Qin soldiers holding weapons. Although the soldiers looked old, small, and their weapons and armor were not very good, they had the natural river of the Yellow River blocking them in front, and there was no ferry. Zang Tu knew that even if he had the ability to reach the sky today, he would never be able to cross the river.
"What did you say? This old guy Zang Tu ran away?"
In Puban, Liu Bang, who was trying to organize an army to fight to the death of the Qin cavalry, was once again hit hard. This time, it was not the Qin army that hit him, but the inside of the coalition.
"Not only King Yan, but also King Wei, seemingly talking to his subordinates, and it seems that he is also trying to escape!" The person who reported to Liu Bang was a confidant who had just defected to him.
Throughout history, once a person becomes rich, those who seek to rely on the opportunity will always come. As soon as Liu Bang is the deputy leader of the coalition forces, some people who are depressed and unsatisfied in the princes' army hurriedly swore allegiance to him. Therefore, although Liu Bang was chased by the Qin army along the way, he actually gained a lot. Even three days ago, he also incorporated two small princes' troops, which gave Liu Bang, who had been bare for more than a year, the power of about 3,000 people.
"Zang Tu, Wei Bao, you two cowards, go and call your brothers, bring your weapons to meet Wei Bao with me!" Liu Bang snorted coldly, pulled out his sword from his waist and headed straight for the place where Wei Bao's army was.
Although Wei Bao had at least 5,000 soldiers, which was more than Liu Bang's troops, Liu Bang was not afraid because he had already won over the three most powerful lieutenants under Wei Bao in advance.
According to Liu Bang's plan, Wei Bao's troops would become his subordinates sooner or later. Now, Wei Bao wanted to pull up the team and escape, which made Liu Bang, who had regarded these five thousand people as his own, tolerate it.
