Destiny Only Han

Chapter 256 Fan Kuai: Military Merit, Can You Cash It Out?

On the east bank of the Sishui River, the drums of war raged.

Although the Chu army shouted that Xiongchu will surely win, they felt very guilty in their hearts.

After all, it was not Xiang Yu, who was like a god, nor the generals of the Chu army, such as Zhongli Meijibu, who had fought bravely and had won great victories.

At this time, the person with the top helmet and armor giving orders is nothing more than a dreamer...

These veterans of the Chu army actually sneered at the so-called war idea of ​​Cao Jiu and Sima Xin encircling Liu Bang.

But helpless, the military order is like a mountain, and those who don't obey can only die!
But now, I'm afraid I won't live long...

As far as the Chu army could see, a huge battle flag of the Han army fluttered in the wind.

They knew very well that under the battle flag, the King of Han must be personally present!

But they didn't have the idea of ​​rushing over to capture Liu Bang alive and make contributions.

Without him, between the Chu army and the King of Han, there is still a Great Wall, a Great Wall of flesh and blood.

The daredevils!

In this battle, Fan Kui came from Guangwu, and those who dared to die who only wore single clothes, did not break the enemy's formation, and did not kill the enemy and would not return, naturally followed.

The Han army marched southward along the Sishui River, the right flank was the surging river that did not need to be defended, and the left flank was Zhou Bo who was holding his breath and preparing to take revenge after the Chu army took Ao Cang before.

Based on the combat idea of ​​the lion fighting the rabbit, Liu Bang sent elite soldiers to personally, in order to be able to wipe out Cao Jiu's 5 people, and then conquer the neglected frontline camp of the Chu army, Qifeng City.

If this battle is won, the strength comparison between Chu and Han will be completely overturned!
However, the first attack on the Chu army was not Liu Bang's headquarters on the east bank of Sishui, but Yingbo, who was on the west bank and attacked from Chenggao.

Most of the Chu army on the opposite side followed Xiang Yu to break through the six counties and burned, killed and looted.

So, when the enemies met, they were extremely jealous.

Yingbu rode his horse and held his halberd, and took the lead in charging regardless.

Will be the courage of soldiers.

When the commanding general rushes to the front of everyone, even the most timid soldiers will also be courageous and risk their lives.

In particular, these Guanzhong soldiers who have been educated by their elders since they were young and have only lived for farming and fighting all their lives.

But what makes them descend like fierce tigers is the Chu army on the opposite side. Most of them only have a short weapon for self-defense, and they are only wearing winter clothes to keep out the cold, not armor.

Spears and halberds fight against arm-length daggers; armored pockets fight against patched linen clothes...

Moreover, before the Han army set off, they were half full of steaming mutton soup pancakes, while the Chu army on the opposite side had been shivering in the cold wind for a whole night.

Well, in order to succeed in the raid, they are not allowed to light bonfires to keep warm.

So, if you still can't win, just buy a piece of tofu and kill yourself...

When the Chu army on the west bank fell into an almost one-sided massacre, the Chu army on the east bank, under the command of Cao Jiu, hurriedly dressed and prepared to meet the first wave of the Han army's charge.

However, Liu Bang ordered the Han army to stop within a stone's throw of the Chu army.

Afterwards, a series of miniature gravity trebuchets slowly came out.

In the era of cold weapons, armies fought in thick phalanxes.

So, this kind of stone that fell from the sky, if you hit a piece, you will die if you hit it, and you will be injured if you rub it!

Although the killing efficiency of the Han army's catapults is limited, fear is actually contagious.

When the boulder was hit and the howls of crying father and mother sounded, the front army of the Chu army began to waver. Even under the restraint of the officers, it was difficult to resist the wave of soldiers wanting to retreat.

After all, no one wants to be this unlucky guy.

Seeing all this on the hastily built cloud car, Cao Jiu felt that he could not sit still and need to take the initiative to attack.

In his opinion, the Chu army is strong in close combat, but the Han army's support is just these weird things!

As a result, the sound of the drums became louder and louder.

This is an order to urge the Chu army in front to stride forward and start hand-to-hand combat with the Han army.

But before the Chu army started to attack, seeing the chaotic Fan Kuai on the other side, he immediately took the lead in charging.

Behind him, the daredevils also charged in groups.

As one of the two main forces of the Han army, their combat power on the frontal battlefield is not inferior to any elite of the Chu army.

After all, the opponent has good skills, but I am not afraid of death. In terms of momentum, I actually overwhelm the opponent.

As a result, the Chu army, without Xiang Yu's morale bonus, began to retreat steadily.

Cao Jiu on the cloud chariot had no choice but to curse Sima Xin and Liu Bang while ordering the Chu army lined up behind to go up.

But all of this became futile as Zhou Bo commanded the army to join the encirclement.

In this battle, Liu Bang still followed the method of surrounding three and missing one.

In the heart of the retreating Chu army, in fact, everyone was thinking about running away.

Victory or defeat is standard issue.

When the Han army on the opposite side faced their own king, didn't they often turn around and run away?

The Han army can run, but the Chu army can't?
So, in Cao Jiu's despair, the defeated Chu army began to throw away their helmets and armor in an organized way, and fled towards the east.

There is the base camp of the Chu army.

As long as he can run back, he can rely on the strong fortress to delay time until Xiang Yu returns with his troops!
When the time comes, let the Han army on the opposite side understand, what is the victory of a hero!
The army was defeated like a mountain.

Almost a few moments later, the Chu army fell into a complete collapse.

Cao Jiu on the cloud car let out a long sigh and made his own choice.

run!
Unfortunately, on the eastern horizon, Han Wangxin's battle flag fluttered in the wind in the rising sun.

Han Jun blocked Chu Jun's retreat.

If it was a quarter of an hour ago, the Chu army would have had to fight to the death in the face of this situation.

But now, they are ready to throw away their armor and flee.

It is absolutely impossible to fight to the death!
"Whoever descends shall be spared death!"

When the dialects from all over the world rang out among the Han army, the Chu army, who was panicked like a bereaved dog, knelt down on the ground.

To be alive is more important than anything else!

But on the cloud car, Cao Jiu, who was preparing to run with the army, didn't think so.

Life is also what I want; righteousness is also what I want.You can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives for justice!

Overthrow the army and kill the general.

At this time, these four words lingered in Cao Jiu's mind.

He held the five fingers of the long sword at his waist, loosened it, clenched it, loosened it again, clenched it...

After doing this several times, he slowly raised the sword and put it on his neck.

As a veteran who had followed Xiang Yan, he did not lack the courage to apologize with death.

However, when his eyes accidentally saw Sima Xin wriggling like maggots on the bullock cart, he was furious.

Traitor must die!

…………

In the east of Kaifeng City, on the west bank of the chasm, Zhongli was wandering around in a ignorant manner.

Since he was no longer trusted by Xiang Yu, he has almost completely become this idle state.

Eat all day long and do nothing.

Now, when Cao Jiu led the troops to fight, he was appointed as the general of the rear army and stationed in this camp.

Well, here it is said to be the camp of the Chu army, but one of the most important functions is to hoard fodder and food to ensure the logistics of the entire army.

In other words, in fact, Zhong Limei's identity at the moment is a logistics director...

However, Zhong Limei is a very down-to-earth person who works hard without complaint.

Now that you have become the "logistics director", then do what you do and love what you do!
During the boring wandering, he carefully recorded the data of firewood piles in each granary, and based on his experience as a general, he judged whether it was necessary for Chen Ying, who was in Pengcheng, to deliver more grain and grass.

After all, it is already the winter moon at this time, and in a few days, the water level of the chasm will drop, making it impossible to use more labor-saving water transportation.

Just as he swiped almost [-] steps and was about to eat lunch, there was a slight vibration on the ground.

As a veteran military commander, Zhong Limei was no stranger to this kind of shock.

This is the sound of an army approaching quickly!

Moreover, it is definitely not the return of the elite Chu army led by Xiang Yu!

After all, this kind of vibration can only be produced when thousands of people run wildly!
So, enemy attack!
Although he didn't know who the enemy was and where it came from, Zhong Limei was a general of the Chu army after all, and he had both execution ability and prestige among the soldiers.

Under his command, the bewildered Chu army quickly returned to normal, and began to put on their armor in an orderly manner, preparing for the battle.

Outside the camp of the Chu army, after handing over the follow-up cleaning of the battlefield to Zhou Ke and Zhang Liang, Liu Bang personally led the troops eastward, conquered the almost empty city of Kaifeng in one fell swoop, and seized countless gold and silver treasures.

Therefore, when he faced the Chu army camp like a hedgehog, he was actually lacking in interest.

Chicken ribs.

It is a pity that it is tasteless.

However, it would be a very good thing if Zhong Limei could be recruited.

The next time he sees Xiang Yu again, he will be able to say triumphantly, Xiang Ji, your soldiers are really useful...

But on the watchtower, Zhong Limei's swearing, still made Liu Bang feel a little uncomfortable.

There is no benevolence and righteousness in business, so what?
When Liu Bang was furious, he completely forgot how badly he used Chen Ping's countermeasures to harm Zhongli Wu...

So, he ordered the whole army to camp on the spot, ready to destroy this bastard who knows nothing about the sky and the earth!

But before that, there is one more thing to do.

On rewards for meritorious deeds.

This is where Liu Bang is different from Xiang Yu. He will commend meritorious soldiers as soon as possible, no matter how much the other party has contributed.

But this time, Fan Kuai Zhou Bo's face was full of hesitation.

Liu Bang rewarded these military generals who had already been enshrined, except for a small part of gold and silver, and more food.

In the past, they liked this kind of reward that could be passed on to future generations.

but now……

"Can it be discounted?"

Liu Bang looked at Fan Kui, who was leaning in front of him, confused, but then looked at a piece of paper that the other party took out, and couldn't laugh or cry.

Donghai Branch of Dahan Salt Industry is recruiting shareholders...
