Destiny Only Han

Chapter 180 The Song of Iron and Blood
In the dim night, the Chu army began to kick the battalion.

The first to attack the Han army was the eight thousand Jiangdong disciples led by Huan Chu.

Most of these people's fathers were brothers Paozhe who followed Xiang Yan and died in battle together.

Later, after Xiang Liang gained a firm foothold in Kuaiji County, he took these orphans under his command one after another, and included them under the command of Huan Chu, who was a water bandit in name but was actually a retainer of the Xiang family.

Years of thieves who have looted the government have made them not only brave and good at fighting, but also accustomed to hiding their whereabouts in the night and in the wilderness, and launching surprise attacks on the enemy.

This time Xiang Yu quietly returned from Qidi, and the eight thousand Jiangdong disciples were the pioneers along the way.

They destroyed the city and pulled out the stronghold along the way, but they didn't let any news pass to the Han army in Pengcheng.

But today, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, when they couldn't see their fingers, they quietly approached the neglected Han army camp and pulled down the fence with ropes.

Then a signal was sent out to guide Lou Fan's cavalry in the Chu army to rush in through the gap.

And they themselves, taking advantage of the fact that the Han army hadn't reacted, rushed in first, and started setting fire everywhere, attacking and killing the generals and schools in the Han army.

…………

At the camp of the Chinese army, Chai Wu, who hastily put on his battle armor, suddenly heard the sound of rumbling drums stop abruptly.

His heart tightened, and he hurriedly led the soldiers around him to run towards the drummer.

In the dark of night, he was suddenly attacked by the enemy at night.

Ordinary soldiers are prone to panic when they don't know how many enemies are there and where they are coming from, which will lead to the collapse of the whole army.

Therefore, the sound of the drums of war at the Central Military Department must not stop.

When visibility is extremely poor and there is no effective means of communication, the sound of rumbling drums can not only boost one's own courage, but also serve as a beacon.

Here, still resisting!
Your generals have not abandoned you!
Because of the sound of drums, scattered soldiers who lost their organizational system can hear the sound, rearrange their formation, and confront the enemy.

This is a method of warfare in the night, and during the day, the generals of the Chinese army usually wear extremely gorgeous costumes and stand under the banner.

If the battle flag does not fall, the morale of the army will not be disturbed.

Otherwise, even if the situation ahead is overwhelming, the situation may be reversed instantly if the soldiers look back and find that their general is not there and the battle flag has fallen.

Therefore, killing the general and capturing the flag has always been equal credit, and it is a first-class credit.

Because of this, the Jiangdong disciples who kicked the battalion, after hearing the sound of the war drum in the Han army, quickly assembled an elite force and went straight to the place where the war drum was.

It's a pity that when they rushed over, Chai Wu was not at the place where the Chinese army was drumming. He was busy gathering the scattered Han army and preparing to close the opened gap again.

Therefore, they just killed the drummers in the Han army, and used the dismantled tents to ignite the cowhide war drums with a diameter of nearly one foot.

There was neither beheading nor capturing the flag.

But, that's enough.

When the war drums of the Chinese army stopped abruptly, even though Chai Wu responded immediately, after the surprise attack, the morale of the already frightened Han army dropped again.

At this moment, the shouts of killing rang out from all directions in the entire Han army camp.

In an instant, the fire was raging, and Lou Fan cavalry, who were good at riding and fighting, rushed in from the panicked Han army camp.

Kicking the battalion to break the account, the Han army was never given a chance to react, and the massacre began.

The cavalrymen of Lou Fan let out strange howls like howling wolves, and galloped back and forth, passing by the Han soldiers who hurried out of the tent and scurrying around like headless flies. , flew over the head, brought up a cloud of blood, and a heavy corpse fell heavily on the grass with a bang, and there was no more sound.

On the horizon in the distance, there was a faint whiteness. Although the world was still dark at the moment, it was enough to distinguish the enemy from us.

As a result, the Loufan cavalry gave up the task of attacking the Han army's camp, and began to use a technique they had practiced since childhood.

riding and shooting.

Like the Huns, Lou Fanren are mainly nomads. Children can ride sheep and shoot birds and mice with bows;

At this moment, on the backs of the galloping horses, they only use their legs to clamp the horse's belly, draw their bows and set up arrows, and under the rapid arrows, almost no arrows are missed. Every arrow can hit within ten steps in front of them. The panicked Han soldiers.

Well, riding a bow is weak, and the maximum lethality can only be exerted within a dozen or twenty steps.

In the camp of the Han army, the scattered cavalry cavalry were like hungry wolves galloping out of the twilight. Although they attacked in all directions in pieces, they did not make a free and loose decision.

Gradually, on the battlefield where the sound of breaking through the air was heard everywhere, the Han army, who was completely stunned, was gathered like a flock of sheep by Lou Fan's cavalry.

So, the armored cavalry in the Chu army began to charge.

This time the charge was still led by Xiang Yu.

Under the faintly lit sky, he was wearing a red cloak, a golden helmet and armor, and an extraordinary black horse under his crotch, like a god descending from the earth.

Da-da-da, da-da-da!
The sound of hooves sounded like a bell.

For whom does the bell toll?

Xiang Yu stabbed forward with a long halberd, directly lifted a Han soldier in front of him on the tip of the halberd, and threw it five feet away.

In an instant, witnessing all this, the armored cavalry of the Chu army broke out into a roar of mountains and tsunami:

"Your Majesty is mighty and mighty for thousands of years!"

Therefore, under Xiang Yu's encouragement, the Chu army's armored cavalry was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, unstoppable.

The iron cavalry is vertical and horizontal, like the vertical and horizontal waves.

Hold the halberd high, walking like a wolf.

Under the repeated charges of the elite armored cavalry, the soldiers of the Han army who were already slackened almost lost all their will to resist. On the entire battlefield, the massacre was almost completely one-sided.

The sound of horseshoes, screams, howls, and the sound of weapons colliding and piercing the body erupted suddenly, interweaving into a symphony composed of iron and blood.

In the rushing back and forth of the Chu army's armored cavalry, countless Han soldiers did not die under their long halberds, but were knocked out by horses weighing nearly half a ton, and died of broken bones and tendons.

Some panicked soldiers of the Han army were squeezed to the ground. Immediately, the feet of countless of their own people and the horseshoes of the Chu army armor would be trampled down.

Broken and twisted limbs, trampled through the tattered belly that leaked out of the organs, crushed by the horse's hooves, the brains were cracked, and the head with a painful and confused expression appeared on the remaining cheeks...

In the distant sky, although the sun was rising vigorously, the soldiers of the Han army here did not seem to feel any warmth.

The massacre is still going on.

Chai Wu, who was located in the Central Army and fought hard to kill Jiangdong's children, was on the verge of despair, still shouting loudly, commanding the Han soldiers around him to form a defense line, fighting back vigorously, and returning the frightened soldiers back to the formation In the middle, patiently waiting for their morale to recover.

He was waiting, waiting for the Wei army around the Han army camp, as well as the troops of Sai and Zhai to come for reinforcements.

As long as they can attack, everything will be fine.

However, at the moment Wei Bao was in the camp of the Wei army, returning from Pengcheng in a hurry, and was about to mobilize troops for reinforcements, when he heard an attendant outside the tent running, saying that it was Sima Xin, king of Sai, and Dong Yi, king of Zhai, who were visiting.

Wei Bao suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart.

In fact, apart from being a little paranoid, he is also very good at commanding operations.

Back then, King Huai of Chu, Xiong Xin, lent him thousands of Chu troops, and he made great strides all the way, conquering dozens of cities in Wei State one after another.

In a sense, when it comes to specific command operations, he is not a bit stronger than Zhang Liang, who also borrowed thousands of Chu troops, but was beaten by the Qin army and forced to go into a guerrilla in a ravine...

On the way back from Pengcheng to the Wei army camp, he had great doubts about the Chu army coming so swiftly and covertly.

There is no problem with Liu Bang's deployment at all. Then, the reason why the Chu army was able to move forward and launch a surprise attack among hundreds of thousands of troops must be because of the appearance of traitors among themselves!
Someone passed on the deployment of the army to Xiang Yu who was trapped in the quagmire of Qi State in detail!

So, who would this traitor be?
Wei Bao first ruled out himself, as well as Lu Wan and Cao Shen in the Han army who had access to such top secrets.

Then, he ruled out Shen Yang and Sima Yang, who were intoxicated in luxury and indulging in wine and sex.

These two wastes have completely lost their fighting spirit now, and they only think about how to please Liu Bang, so that they can exchange for the glory and wealth of the rest of their lives for themselves and their family!

Moreover, if the Han army fails, according to Xiang Yu's pissing nature, these two people may not escape the fate of Jiudingshi and Jiudingcooking.

As for Han Wang Han Xin, this person is almost a dog raised by Liu Bang. Although Wei Bao thinks that this person will definitely devour the Lord, it will definitely not be now.

Therefore, it is clear who the traitor is.

What Wei Bao was thinking at the moment was whether to capture these two sleazy guys and send them to Liu Bang to ask for credit, or to hear what they wanted to say.

After all, a real man was born between heaven and earth, so how can he live in depression for a long time!

Thinking of this, he put on a smiling face and asked people to let Sima Xin and Dong Yi in.

In the big tent, after the ceremony was over, Dong Yi didn't have time to sit down, so he went straight in and said, "The two of you alone have decided to submit to King Xiang again, what is King Wei's plan?"

Wei Bao pondered for a while, rebellion is not impossible, but it needs to have enough benefits.

For people like them, what they value is not faith, but interests.

Xu Shi saw what Wei Bao was thinking, but Sima Xin didn't answer, but just waited quietly.

As a personal participant in the Battle of Julu, he has no doubts about Xiang Yu's military ability. As long as the Chu army launches a surprise attack, the Han army will be defeated.

Sure enough, the scouts who rushed over from outside the tent reported back. With the charge of the armored cavalry of the Chu army, the Han army had already begun to collapse across the board at this time, with corpses strewn across the field and blood flowing like rivers.

Sima Xin said calmly: "On behalf of King Xiang, I can promise you one condition."

Wei Bao asked, "What conditions."

Sima Xin smiled: "Grace not to kill."
