Humane Yongchang

Chapter 461
In the early morning of August 23, Han Xin sent [-] soldiers to storm Jingxing Pass.

Chen Dao personally sat on the mountain pass, and calmly commanded [-] Huben soldiers to resist the attack of the Han Xin Department.

Han Xin fought fiercely. One hundred thousand soldiers were divided into four columns. Under the cover of dozens of catapults, they took turns pushing the ladders and catapults towards Jingxing Pass without a break.

The obviously narrow mountain road simply cannot hold a battle formation of tens of thousands of people.

Obviously every round of customs clearance will leave hundreds of corpses outside the customs.

Clearly, morale is rapidly declining as round after round of failures are returned...

The [-] Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army is still tireless, rushing up wave after wave to fight Jingxingguan to death!
Even the big soldiers who don't know the art of war know the madness of dying on the other side of Jingxing Pass... Han Xin is in a hurry!

Even the big soldiers can see things, so it is naturally impossible for Chen Dao not to understand.

But he always felt that something was wrong with Han Xin's battle!

This battle was fought too bluntly and too hard, which was very different from Han Xin's usual method of using troops with a combination of hardness and softness.

However, in the previous battle of Julu, when he and Li Xin were brought into the gutter by Han Xin's strategy of "following the plan", Chen Dao didn't dare to make a judgment lightly, thinking that there is only one way to go in Jingxing anyway, as long as he doesn't Open the door, even if Han Xin is full of wit and cunning, it is impossible for him to grow wings and fly over Jingxing Pass!
The fierce battle lasted for a whole day!
The [-] Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army dropped nearly [-] corpses outside Jingxing Pass.

The dark red blood gathered into a stream, flowing down the narrow mountain path, dyeing most of the hills red...

It wasn't until night fell that the Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army who had robbed the pass finally called in gold and withdrew their troops.

When the high-pitched, sharp sound of clanging gold resounded through the hills, even the soldiers of the Huben army guarding the city couldn't hold on to their weapons, and fell to the ground, panting like cows.

……

When the bright moon was on the treetops, a large number of Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army came to collect the corpse of Paoze outside Jingxing Pass.

Chen Dao leaned out of the female wall with his shield on his head, and looked at the corpses of many soldiers killed by the Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army. His doubts became stronger and stronger: "What kind of medicine is sold in Han Xin's gourd?" '

This battle made him confused.

Jingxing Pass is a Shangguan Pass that existed during the Ji Zhou period. He took over and invested a lot of manpower and material resources in transformation. Now, not to mention Hangu Pass, which is difficult to conquer with manpower, Kyushu Pass, at least there is not much difference in the strength of the two sides. And if the surrounding terrain does not change dramatically, it can be called unbreakable!
In terms of defending the city, Chen Dao, who was born in the Youzhou Army, is definitely a professional!
He believed that with Han Xin's attainments in the art of war, even if he hadn't seen the strength of this mountain pass beforehand, he should have understood it halfway through the battle.

It stands to reason that this kind of meaningless battle should have stopped long ago, so think of another way!
But up to now, shutting down these Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army to collect the corpses of the fallen robes, still shows a calm posture.

This, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be camping, and continue to fight Jingxingguan!
But knowing that there is nothing to be done, but still in such a desperate situation full of dangers and isolation...

Such a desperate battle, even the low-level officers in the lieutenant class of Jixia Academy, would not know how to fight.

What's more, Han Xin, a famous general in Kyushu?
'The king said that if something is abnormal, it must be a demon! '

Chen Dao retracted behind the female wall, rubbed the hilt of his sword and thought in his heart: "The more Han Xin is like this, the more it shows that his plot is not at Jingxingguan... Could it be with Li Xin?" '

'I can't justify it, how could Han Xin go south?Fukouxing is right next to the couch of the Pingxi Army. With the 10,000+ remnants and defeated generals in Han Xin's hands, how can he have the confidence to provoke the Pingxi Army again? '

'But if you think about it carefully, it's not completely impossible. Although going to Fukouxing is dangerous, once you pass Fukouxing, you can go straight to Handan, return to Julu at the top, and enter Chenliu at the bottom... '

Taihang Eight Xings connects Bingzhou and Jizhou.

There are only three roads for Han Xin to choose: Feihuxing in the north, Jingxing in the middle, and Fukouxing in the south.

The reason why Chen Dao and Li Xin chose Jingxing to deploy heavy troops.

The reason is that Feihuxing is approaching Youzhou. Before the news of Xiang Yu's return to the great man leaked, Han Xin couldn't have tried his best to jump from one dead place to another!
In contrast, although Bingzhou was surrounded by the Han army on three sides, at least there was still the retreat of Yongzhou.

But once it is blocked in Youzhou, it will really become a duck in the pot, and it will not be able to fly out if it grows wings.

Although Fukouxing is not in the Shangdang area where the Pingxi Army is stationed, it is very close to the Shangdang area.

The partial division led by Li Xin was active in the south of Jingxing. If the Han Xin tribe wanted to go south to Fukouxing, it had to intersperse with Li Xin's tribe first.

But where is Li Xinbu so easy to penetrate?
The soldiers and horses they are stationed at Jingxing Pass are not blind, and they can still watch Li Xin being interspersed?
What's more, even if Li Xin's troops were penetrated, the Pingxi Army in the rear would still quickly support...

Han Xin couldn't even deal with the 15 troops of their Huben Army, so how could he have the capital to provoke the Pingxi Army?

Chen Dao thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure out why.

But there is a saying that goes like this: After eliminating all possible mistakes, the remaining one, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth!
There are three roads, upper, middle and lower, and the middle road is clearly impossible. Even if Han Xin didn't understand this truth before, now that he brought [-] Bingzhou Yellow Turbans to Jingxingguan and hit a bag full of heads, he would definitely have a very deep feeling. comprehend.

It is impossible to walk on the road, or in other words, if Han Xin wants to go on the road, he does not need to go to Jingxingguan to perform such a show. No need on the way here!
In addition to the top lane and the middle lane, the only way to go is the bottom lane...

Can I return it?

If Han Xin wanted to return to Jiuyuan, then why did he come to Jingxingguan to perform this drama, and just run away with soldiers, horses and buckets?

But even after confirming that Han Xin was most likely to plot against Li Xin, Chen Dao still had a lot of worries in his heart: "Should I remind Li Xin to be more vigilant?" '

It's not that there is any conflict between him and Li Xin, and he wants to play some trick of borrowing a knife to kill someone.

Rather, he was worried that if his judgment was inaccurate, it might mislead Li Xin.

Han Xin fought with a god at Li Xin's level, and it was too difficult for a mortal like him to mix in...

'Speak clearly with that guy, there is no guarantee that the inference is true, just ask him to be vigilant and make his own judgment! '

Chen Dao hesitated for a while, but finally he was still worried, and decided to inform Li Xin.

"Order Colonel Zhou of the Special Operations Bureau, take the messenger bird, and come see me quickly!"

With a firm mind, Chen Dao immediately gave an order to the short guard guard beside him.

The head of the short-armed bodyguard clasped his fists to accept the order, and immediately arranged manpower to notify the person in charge of the Guannet battle situation.

……

The bright moonlight fills the earth.

Han Xinzheng led an army of [-] away from Jingxing and galloped south.

When Chen Dao speculated about his true intentions, as if feeling something in his heart, he turned his head and glanced at the brightly lit distant hill.

'I hope you guys are not too stupid...'

He muttered something in his heart, turned his head and shouted loudly: "The enemy army Anzha cowhide tents, pottery pots cooking fish and sheep, invite someone to a banquet with the kings, how can we be late?"

The [-] Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army remained silent, but turned their legs faster!

The [-] Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army did not participate in the daytime assault on Jingxing Pass.

They were suppressed by Han Xin and listened to the hoarse shouts and wailing of the robes all day long.

I also learned that in the battle of the day, they dropped [-] brothers Paoze outside Jingxing Pass!
The deep anger and humiliation, under Han Xin's superb commanding skills, turned into a poisonous fire that burned the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys!
And now, he is taking the Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army to find a place to vent out the poisonous fire in his chest...

There is a knife on the head of Ninja.

If you don't hurt the enemy, you hurt yourself!
……

Li Xin sat high on the handsome tent with a big horse and a golden knife, and a whole lamb roasted until it was golden and oily was placed in front of him.

Holding a three-foot-long saber in one hand, he quickly cut off pieces of mutton that were bigger than his face, and put them into his mouth to feast on!

"Report to the general!"

The head of the short guard walked quickly into the tent, held a bamboo tube in both hands and raised it above the head, bent down and said: "The Special Operations Bureau sent a letter of urgency from Jingxing Pass!"

"Jingxing Pass?"

Hearing the sound, Li Xin's heart skipped a beat, he thought that there was something wrong with Jingxing Guan, and before he even had time to put down the saber and lamb chops in his hand, he hurriedly got up and walked down the handsome tent.

He stuffed the large-faced lamb chops into the hand of the head of the short guard, then casually inserted the saber into the soil, freed his hand to take the bamboo tube, crushed and shook out the silk cloth in the bamboo tube, and quickly glanced at ten lines at a glance.

As soon as he saw half of it, his suspended heart slowly fell back.

But after reading it, his eyes became serious once again...

'Striking around? '

Li Xin thought about it and re-read Chen Dao's handwritten letter word by word. According to the various abnormal actions Chen Dao described in the letter, Han Xin stormed Jingxing Pass, and he also agreed with Chen Dao's judgment in his heart!
As soon as the battle started at Jingxing Pass today, he received news from his end.

The reason why they didn't cooperate with Chen Dao to encircle Han Xin's department was because Xiang Yu hadn't moved to the predetermined position. If he launched a decisive battle too early, he might not be able to keep Han Xin...

Now it seems that they have their encirclement plan, and Han Xin also has his own wall ladder!
"Come on!"

Li made a decision with confidence, put away Chen Dao's letter, and shouted.

The messenger entered the commander's tent in response, clasped his fists and said, "The bid is here!"

Li Xin: "A certain commander-in-chief ordered that the number of scouts on guard tonight will be increased to 2 cavalry, and the number of soldiers on duty in the army will be increased to [-] according to the order of night duty.

"Here!"

The messenger took the order, turned around and ran out of the commander's tent to distribute Li Xin's commander's order.

After a while, dozens of messengers scattered from around the commander's tent...

Li Xin returned to the Shuai case and sat down, tore off a leg of lamb with his bare hands and continued to eat.

But the roast mutton, which was still dry and fragrant just now, tastes like chewing wax when I eat it now.

He only ate half a leg of lamb, lost his appetite and threw the leg of lamb back on the plate, grabbed the sweat towel, slowly wiped the oil on his hands, and quickly reviewed the overall situation of the Hengshan battle in his mind, his eyes Sometimes showing signs of struggle.

But not long after, he gritted his molars secretly, and said loudly: "Come here, order Colonel Chen of the Special Forces Bureau, take the messenger bird, and come to see XX soon!"

He still decided to inform Wang Ben, just in case.

His personal success or failure, honor or disgrace is a trivial matter. If he misses the great cause of the great Han to unify Kyushu, it will be a great crime of harming the country and the people... Although he is reluctant to admit it, in his heart, he has actually realized that he is a little afraid of Han Xin.

Perhaps not to mention fear.

But he can no longer firmly believe that he can defeat Han Xin on his own as before.

This realization gave him a sense of melancholy as if he suddenly felt old.

'Don't think like this, in terms of talent, who can be at the right of the king?Thousands of miles away, he can easily set up a three-sided encirclement array to cut off his back and cut off his life. Compared with the king, Han Xin is like a firefly competing with the scorching sun! '

Thinking of Chen Sheng, Li Xin suddenly felt as if he had found a life-saving straw, once again there was a brutal killing intent in his majestic tiger eyes: "But this guy is indeed a scourge, even if he let go ten times this time." Wan Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army must also keep this guy...'

……

At that time, outside the camp of Li Xin's troops, there was a lot of fighting and shouting like thunder!
Li Xin had already received the scout report in advance, and commanded the army to line up calmly without any panic, and fought against the incoming soldiers and horses of Han Xin's army.

However, Han Xin's troops had already suppressed the evil fire in the daytime battle against Jingxing Pass. Once the battle broke out, the [-] Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army rushed wildly towards Li Xin's army formation like wild horses running wild. .

Although Li Xin learned of the news that Han Xin might lead the attack two or three hours in advance, he couldn't see things in the dark and the time was too short. fighting.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the two armies fought, the position of Li Xin's troops began to float, and they were on the verge of crumbling.

"General, these Bingzhou yellow scarf thieves are like crazy. They are all rushing towards our army without fear of death. No matter how hard they kill, they will not retreat. The forward has been pushed back, and the wings are closed. No matter how hard they are, they can't stand up live……"

The head of the short guard squeezed to the side of Li Xin, who was fighting bloody guns in front, and rushed to report.

Li Xin wiped the warm blood on his cheeks, and listened carefully to the shouts of killing on the battlefield, only to hear the shouts of "Wan Sheng" on the battlefield scattered, almost disjointed.

He immediately issued an order: "A certain commander in chief ordered that the whole army move south. A certain family led the Second Tiger Division behind the palace. The whole army relied on the terrain and fought while retreating, fighting steadily, and strived to prevent the enemy from going south with the least casualties. Fukouxing!"

The head of the short soldier guard immediately took orders, ordered dozens of short soldiers, explained Li Xin's leadership, and quickly conveyed to each division.

This is not because Li Xin is timid and afraid of death!
If Li Xin was the one who was greedy for life and afraid of death, he would not have led fifty thousand red-clothed troops to make a surprise attack on Luoyi.

The reason why he easily issued the military order to retreat without many attempts this time is that there is no meaning in this battle.

From the overall situation, the Great Han's Northern Expedition strategy must not be missed. He must preserve his strength and do everything possible to prevent the enemy from going south!
From the perspective of the battle situation, there are soldiers and horses of their big men in all directions here. He only held back Han Xin, and some reinforcements came to help him stabilize his position.

……

Li Xin withdrew.

Han Xin chased.

Once Li Xin found favorable terrain, he immediately stabilized his position and turned around to fight again.

Han Xinbu finally conquered the geographical advantage, and when he gained the upper hand again, Li Xinbu started to run away again.

Han Xinbu had no choice but to muster up all his strength again, and continued to chase after...

The two armies fought and walked like this, stopping and going all night.

Obviously no one has stopped, but it has only moved less than [-] miles to the south!

Until dawn, the soldiers of the Han Xin Ministry finally couldn't hold on anymore, gave up the pursuit first, and set up camp.

Li Xin also took the opportunity to retreat for more than [-] miles, chose a condescending and favorable terrain, built a defensive line, and set up camp.

He didn't panic at all!
Counting the time, Wang Ben's reinforcements should be on their way by now.

noon.

Chen Dao, who sits at Jingxing Pass, obtained first-hand information about the pursuit battle last night through the special warfare bureau...

He gestured to the map with the information, and suddenly felt a little impatient.

The Ministry of Han Xin planed out the 13 Yu Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army who died in the storming of Jingxing Pass yesterday, and there should be a total of [-] soldiers and horses.

The partial division led by Li Xin only had [-] soldiers in total, and [-] of them were stationed at Fukouxing just in case.

13 against [-] troops, how does Li Xin fight?
As for Xiang Yu's troops, according to the marching itinerary reported by Guan Ying a few days ago, it will take the day after tomorrow at the earliest to arrive at Taiyuan, the scheduled encirclement site...

　It's been a long time since I asked for a monthly pass, so I have the audacity to ask for a monthly pass...
