Destiny Only Han

Chapter 184 Do You Want To Drown Me?But I can't water!

On the side of the mulberry forest, after a moment of silence, Zhang Liang said softly, "Han Xin, great general Han Xin."

Liu Bang was stunned. His guess in his mind was Chen Yu or Wei Bao.

These two are brave and resourceful, and they are the leaders of one side.

Well, although Wei Bao's life and death are uncertain at the moment, and he is under Pengcheng and almost wiped out his family fortune, it is not difficult for Wei Bao, who is almost self-made, to make a comeback.

What he never expected was that Zhang Liang would say Han Xin's name.

Liu Bang took two steps in place, with complicated emotions in his heart.

Although Han Xin is very capable, he is his subordinate. It is no exaggeration to say that eating and drinking his food, and the food and clothing of the soldiers under his command are all issued in the name of the King of Han.

If such a person becomes a king on an equal footing with himself, what would Xiao He and Cao Shen think?
What would the other generals in the Han army think?
When Liu Bang was silent, Zhang Liang began to close his eyes and rest, quietly waiting for Liu Bang to figure it out.

He believed that Liu Bang would have self-knowledge. The Han army at this time was nothing more than a grassroots team. .

The Battle of Pengcheng at this moment clearly illustrates this point.

Although there were internal traitors to support them, an army of tens of thousands of people traveled hundreds of miles and conquered more than a dozen county towns one after another, yet they were able to take advantage of the darkness to launch an active attack. The gap between the generals of the two sides can be seen!
After all, if the two armies confront each other, after the defeat, it can be inferred that the sergeants are useless and their equipment is not as good as others, but they are successfully attacked by others and then defeat the entire army.
Liu Bang was silent for a moment, and said seriously: "Okay, as long as I can defeat Xiang Yu and restore the peace of the world, I will do what the ovary asks me to do!"

…………

Sishui County, east bank of Suishui, Xiang County.

On a night in early summer, the sky is full of stars, and the sky looks higher and more distant.

When the moon was about to set and rise again, on the vast and boundless wilderness, countless figures staggered hurriedly.

These are all soldiers of the Han army and Wei army who were defeated under Pengcheng.

Now, everyone's organizational system has been completely messed up. Soldiers can't find generals, and generals can't find soldiers. Soldiers from both armies are supporting each other, trying to escape in panic.

They have been running for a whole day.

The grain of rice has not been eaten, and the drop of water has not been drunk.

The damn Chu army cavalry, relying on their own horses, almost chased them for a distance of ten or twenty miles, then began to dismount and rest, and then mounted their horses again to chase them down, repeating this, endlessly.

And whenever they want to turn back to the north and join Cao Can's army in Dang County, the Chu army will gather a large army and launch a fierce attack.

In desperation, they could only continue to retreat southward.

As for where to escape to escape the pursuit of the Chu army, no one has any idea.

For the current plan, we can only take one step at a time.

…………

Nearly [-] miles away from the rout, the Chu army buried the pot again and prepared to launch the final attack.

As locals, they all know that Tangtang Suishui is at most twenty or thirty miles away.

At this time, the dry season has passed. Although the water flow is not large on weekdays, if you are not proficient in water skills, you can only die in the middle of the river, which is the only end!
Therefore, the new battle plan is to continuously weaken the physical strength of the soldiers of the Han army in this way, so that they will jump into the Sui River and swim to the opposite bank under the desire to survive, and then drown in the middle of the river.

The main reason why the Chu army no longer launched a strong attack is that the traces of Liu Bang, the king of Han, have been detected by the scouts.

At this time, Liu Bang was fleeing in the direction of Guanzhong along the Sanchuan Dongkai Road.

Therefore, Xiang Yu personally led [-] elite soldiers of the Chu army, and pursued them from tail to tail, striving to completely eliminate this scourge!

So here, we can only bluff and let those frightened birds kill themselves.

After a while, when the sky was dim, the Chu army finished repairing again.

In fact, they themselves are not tired, the main reason is that the horses under their crotches can't stand it anymore.

Almost all of the horses they were riding on were captured from Wang Li's Great Wall Corps during the Julu Battle that day.

These horses are all fine-bred war horses domesticated in the official stables of Qin State.

It's a pity that the strong is the strong, but the requirements for feed are a bit too high, and the proportion of concentrated feed almost accounts for more than half of the daily feed.

And at this time, let the horse run continuously, and even before getting on the horse, several eggs were smashed into the horse's mouth!

These are all elite cavalry with extremely high salaries, and they are also good things that they are reluctant to eat.

Moreover, the cost of these eggs was deducted from their own military pay!
But even so, they were also reluctant to change their horses, because the Loufan cavalry who were chasing the Han army with them, their prairie horses could not run at all at this moment.

And the Qin horse under their crotch was still a little tired after eating and drinking, but it ran fast!

Under the rumbling horseshoes, the Chu cavalry once again saw the Han army in the distance.

Throwing away the helmets and armor, the defeated Han army!

As a result, thousands of Chu cavalry soldiers spread out and rushed up with strange screams.

Their purpose, of course, was to complete the battle plan given by the general. As for the rest, they aimed at the long swords around the waists of the soldiers of the Han army.

To be precise, it was the strangely shaped but very sharp Ring Shou Dao!

The one-handed weapons equipped by these ordinary Han soldiers are much better in terms of durability and sharpness than the long swords worth thousands of dollars in the hands of these elite cavalrymen!

Such a good knife is worth using as a family heirloom!

Therefore, the soldiers of the Han army who walked with the soldiers of the Wei army felt that the Chu army in the distance seemed to be able to distinguish themselves from the soldiers of the Wei army who were also fleeing for their lives in single clothes.

Sometimes, the rangers of the Chu army who were chasing up seemed to circle in a circle, staring straight at him and rushing towards him.

Really beeping a dog!

But soon, they knew the intention of the Chu cavalry.

Every man is innocent of his guilt.

It's just that the ring swords in their hands are just mass-produced goods worth a few hundred dollars, so what?
Chu Jun, when did you become a beggar?

So, after seeing the cavalry of the Chu army rushing towards them, they immediately untied the ring-shoulders at their waists and threw them in another direction without any further words.

Immediately, I saw the cavalry of the Chu Army on the opposite side. After glaring at them for a full second, they turned their horses and chased after them...

All of a sudden, in the process of trying to escape, laughter was everywhere.

Until, some sharp-eyed soldiers saw the river winding above the ground like a jade belt in the distance.

Sui water!

Then, fear began to spread, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

Whether it is the Han army or the Wei army, they gradually stopped at this moment, with despair rising in their hearts.

They don't know how to water!
This is the biggest similarity between the soldiers of the Han and Wei armies.

Wei Jun is mostly from Hedong County. He is a typical northern landlubber. His legs are weak when he sees water on weekdays. He also has another characteristic, that is, he does not eat fish.

The main reason is that they don't know how to eat fish, and their throats are easily stuck by fishbone. Moreover, fish meat is also a food that poor people only use to survive.

In the past, Jin Linggong sent a dead man to assassinate Zhao Dun. When the dead man saw Zhao Dun's dinner was only fish from the window, he admired him and marveled that "for the state of Jin, he eats fish." Unable to bear to kill him, he drew his sword and killed himself.

And the Han army beside the soldiers of the Wei army did not give way to the fear of water.

At this moment, they began to regret that they shouldn't have thrown away the Ring Shou Dao like a stick for walking the dog.

There is a river in front, and there are pursuers behind them, and they are unarmed, which is really killing them!

Riding on the horse, the cavalrymen of the Chu Army, who were full of anger, also stood still.

"Laugh, keep laughing!"

They tested the pressure while cursing, forcing the enemy on the opposite side to jump into the river to escape automatically, and then died in the belly of the fish.

But at this moment, from the upper reaches of the Sui River, the sound of war drums could be faintly heard, and small boats in the inland river flowed down the river like arrows leaving the string.

Flying on the boat is a battle flag with the word Lu in black on a yellow background.

"This is King Lu's army!"

"It's my own!"

"It's saved!"

Among the Han army, unstoppable cheers erupted.

The car goes to the front of the mountain, and the boat goes to the bridge.

Seeing the hope of life in a desperate situation, how can we prevent them from shouting and jumping excitedly!
On the Sui River, among the largest merchant ships, Lu Ze was secretly rejoicing.

Fortunately, he caught up.

The news of the defeat of the Han army in Pengcheng was sent to his army by flying pigeons half a day ago.

And he did not build a pontoon bridge to transport military supplies as Liu Ying said.

The reason is simple. After entering the summer, the rain gradually increased. After a heavy rain upstream, when Lu Ze led his troops to Suishui, the water level soared and the flow was turbulent.

Under such conditions, even if a floating bridge is forcibly built, it will be washed away by the river in the blink of an eye.

The only way is to punting.

Fortunately, in Lu Ze's army, there is Yue General Mei Yan, who is a native of the water village, and he can swim faster than fish in the water!
Well, due to productivity factors, the Yue people could not get rid of the wild growth of mountains and forests after the rainy season, so they simply lived by the water, using boats as vehicles and oars as horses.

The Yue warriors led by Mei Yan didn't know the hydrology of Sui River, so they rowed a little slower, but there was no danger of capsizing.

After all, Suishui is not a big river, the amount of sediment is not large, and the hydrology is relatively simple.

Amid the bewilderment of the Chu cavalry, Lu Ze ordered his soldiers to land quickly, and at the same time dispatched a small force to quickly organize the scattered Han and Wei soldiers in front of them.

Those who were able to evade pursuit all the way and escape here were mostly shrewd and capable people.

So after the morale of the army stabilized a bit, they began to quickly gather and stand by, and were armed again by Lu Ze.

So, a pair of eyes full of anger stared straight at the Chu army cavalry on the opposite side.

"It's kind, don't be cowardly!"
