Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 115 There is no retreat
The troops that Xiang Yu divided his troops to attack from the south bridge before Xiang Yu did not have the record of this side led by Xiang Yu himself. Xiang Yu beheaded several fierce generals under Beigong Boyu by himself, and even covered up the past and killed quite a few enemies. , and the road that divided the troops to attack from the south bridge encountered fierce resistance from the rebels at the bridgehead.

The Qiang people were quite cunning. They deliberately let the troops partially pass the bridge on the river first, and then waited until they reached the open space on the bridge side, and then shot countless arrows from all directions at the right time. Xiang Yu's leading general He was too careless, and his luck was not very good. He was killed by an arrow during the first round of bow and crossbow volley, and then the whole army fell into chaos, and was killed by the enemies rushing out of the surrounding ambush , the casualties were very heavy.

Because the bridge on the river behind is relatively narrow, it can only provide a part of the troops to pass through at the same time. Whether it is advancing or retreating, as long as there are too many people, it will be very crowded. With a variety of weapons and armor, many places are very sharp and hard, once the distance between them is too close, it is easy to cause accidental injury.

The most cunning thing about the Qiang rebels was that they deliberately waited for some of Xiang Yu's troops to cross the river first. After they gathered in the open space on the river beach, once they were ambushed and attacked, it would be difficult for them to escape from the bridge behind them in a short time. Back up, because the friendly troops on the bridge behind them are still crossing the bridge in an orderly manner.

Therefore, when the soldiers in front encountered an ambush, they instinctively wanted to retreat. In addition, the main general was killed at the first time, and panic spread all of a sudden, causing almost all soldiers not Thinking of fighting to the death, but thinking of retreating backwards, as a result, the soldiers who were still advancing behind clashed with the soldiers who wanted to retreat in front on the bridge.

Due to the lack of information between each other, a large number of stampedes and accidental injuries occurred, which further led to the spread of panic. In the end, the casualties can be said to be very tragic, and the appearance of the scene is also very scary, especially those who were crowded. Many of the soldiers on the bridge were squeezed to death by the surrounding friendly forces.

After the last battle, this army lost nearly one-third of its soldiers, that is, more than 600 people. Xiang Yu's total strength itself was not many, and he never thought that his side would win the battle. Such a heavy loss all at once.

Xiang Yu looked at the row of soldiers kneeling in front of him, the expression on his face was like wanting to eat people, glaring, no one dared to look up at him, if it was him in the previous life, he would probably He had already taken out his whip to beat several people to death, and even beheaded several generals with his own hands.

But at this time, Xiang Yu has grown a lot after all, and he actually suppressed his anger forcibly, but obviously these angers will not disappear out of thin air. Sometimes people are speechless when they are extremely angry. So Xiang Yu simply turned around and left, out of sight, the soldiers kneeling behind him did not dare to get up without Xiang Yu's order.

So they knelt here for a whole night, which could be regarded as Xiang Yu's punishment for them. Although it was very uncomfortable, they still saved their lives.

Xiang Yu held his breath, and early the next morning he personally led the troops from Beiqiaotou to attack Wuwei City. Of course, this time the troops were no longer divided into two groups. He would murmur in his heart, thinking more about whether the assigned troops could do it or not. He actually doesn't have many powerful generals under his command now. In his opinion, these generals appointed from the Eastern Han court lacked some really necessary Lead training.

But Xiang Yu doesn't have so much time to personally train these generals, and many things are actually a kind of talent. Even if Xiang Yu wants to teach, not everyone can learn it well.

If you have the opportunity to meet more powerful generals in the future, it will not be too late to pass on some of your experience and knowledge to them. After all, if an army wants to be strong, it is not enough for Xiang Yu to be strong alone. A large number of generals and grassroots officers with sufficient strength are needed to lead the soldiers.

In fact, let’s talk about it, the soldiers and generals sent by the Eastern Han Dynasty are not too bad, but it may be because Xiang Yu’s requirements are a bit high, because no one is much worse than himself. Yes, so if Xiang Yu really wants to make high demands on his subordinates, it is estimated that few people can really fall into his eyes.

When Xiang Yu's troops were assembled and ready to launch an attack, Beigong Boyu stood at a certain high point in the distance in Wuwei City and watched. I didn't sleep well, maybe I had a nightmare. After all, Xiang Yu killed four of my generals in a row yesterday. Whether it was going to challenge Xiang Yu one by one, or five or six generals together, In the end, they were easily defeated by Xiang Yu.

He saw everything clearly at the scene. The strength displayed by Xiang Yu, the confidence and ease shown throughout the process made him and the generals under him feel a sense of despair. The combat skills of the Qiang generals seemed a little unrefined, but the effect in the actual combat process was also very good, but in the process of fighting Xiang Yu, their combat skills were simply blown out.

Beigong Boyu didn't have much research on combat skills, but he could also see how huge the gap in combat skills between his generals and Xiang Yu was, otherwise the opponent wouldn't be able to appear so relaxed, that's obviously The situation will only happen when the strength has completely surpassed and crushed his own side.

But what should we do now?Xiang Yu's troops attacked again, and he no longer had the confidence to go out to fight again. In fact, the vicinity of Wuwei City lacked tall walls for defense. Ambushes were deployed in some key areas, just like the southern battlefield, didn't they still achieve a big victory?

But the victory at the southern bridgehead can't give Beigong Boyu any comfort at all, because he feels that even if that kind of excellent ambush opportunity comes again, if Xiang Yu personally leads the troops, the ambush on his side will probably not be able to afford it. to great effect.

Now he can only choose not to take the initiative to fight, but to use the terrain and fortifications to carry out passive defense. Anyway, as long as the soldiers stick to their positions, Xiang Yu will not be able to attack in a short time anyway. After a big defeat, he may be snowballed, and the entire defense system may be broken by Xiang Yu in one go, and then he will have no chance at all.

Originally, Han Sui decided to take part of the main force to garrison Yunwu City, and handed over Wuwei, an extremely important place, to Beigong Boyu for defense. At that time, he was still very happy and felt that he was fully capable. Being qualified for this task, he was a little dissatisfied with Han Sui, because after all, he was the one who initiated the rebellion in the first place.

At the beginning, he forced Han Sui and Bian Zhang to rebel, and elected them as the nominal leaders of the rebel army, just to treat them as scapegoats, puppets, and shields, while he was the actual controller who could manipulate everything behind the scenes.

But he obviously overestimated his own strength, and underestimated Han Sui's strength too much. Unexpectedly, Han Sui's comprehensive abilities in all aspects gradually showed up in a short time, and he also won most of the rebels' internal strength. People's actual recognition, if it is a nameless puppet leader, of course it is just a puppet leader, but now Han Sui is a famous person, while Beigong Boyu has become nameless in comparison. potential crisis.

After all, when I am completely unable to control and control Han Sui, and at the same time my hard power and performance are somewhat inconsistent with my identity, then sooner or later my position will be lost, even if my strength is very strong , but eventually threatened Han Sui's actual dominance, then there must be a very cruel internal competition and elimination between the two of them.

It's just that the conflict between the two of them may not have developed to such a serious level now, but the day when it develops normally will come sooner or later, so this time Beigong Boyu actually has great hopes and wants to He took this opportunity to prove his strength by defeating Xiang Yu, but obviously the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The reality ruthlessly tore up his dream. Originally, when he heard some rumors about Xiang Yu's bravery and invincibility, he would inevitably sneer at the thought, thinking that it was just some incompetent people's incompetence and failure. It's just an excuse, is it really because the opponent is too strong?It's not that I'm too useless, too useless!
However, this time when he personally experienced Xiang Yu's strength, he finally realized how naive and stupid his previous thoughts were. It turns out that there are really such powerful people in this world who look less than 20 years old , already possessed such terrifying strength, and thinking about what he would look like when he was less than 20 years old, Beigong Boyu couldn't help but feel so ashamed that he wanted to find a seam to fall off.

Another point is that he is now hesitant to send someone to tell Han Sui the real situation here. In fact, under normal circumstances, he and Han Sui will communicate with each other every once in a while, or when major events happen.

However, he found that Han Sui had not shared a lot of important information with him. In fact, Beigong Boyu himself was not surprised by this at all, but when Han Sui really did this, he was still very upset. comfortable.

Of course, Beigong Boyu also has a lot of important information that he did not tell Han Sui, and the situation here is obviously not good. If he does not tell Han Sui the information, it is impossible for Han Sui to send someone Come to support him, but after I really tell Han Sui the situation here, will he send troops to support him?

And even if Han Sui really sent troops to support, there are two situations in the end, one is that Xiang Yu retreats, Han Sui will inevitably laugh at his incompetence because of this, and it will further make him unable to hold his head up in front of Han Sui At the same time, it made the soldiers in the rebel army feel that they were not as good as Han Sui, and another situation was that Han Sui could not beat Xiang Yu. Powerful, but more to reflect his incompetence, but also to drag his allies to suffer together.

So now Beigong Boyu feels that after he tells Han Sui the truth about the situation here, he will not get any benefit anyway. This may be because the so-called food is the original sin, and his strength is not enough to beat Xiang Yu. , then it would be wrong for him to do anything no matter what. Under such a situation, all that was left for Beigong Boyu was despair.

He felt that his only way out now was to fight Xiang Yu to the death, for as long as he could. Don't think about asking Han Sui to send troops to support him. After all, Han Sui may also be fighting on his own side, and he may not have enough troops to send again. I came to support myself, so I told Han Sui the real situation here, just to give him a chance to laugh at his incompetence.

After thinking about this, Beigong Boyu immediately ordered his subordinates to absolutely not leak the situation here, let alone send someone to report to Han Sui and ask for help.

After Beigong Boyu's generals heard Beigong Boyu's decision, they didn't understand and didn't support it at first, but Beigong Boyu told them some of his thoughts and worries. Gong Boyu made it clear that they already had a lot of troops and they had an advantage in terrain, if they couldn't defeat Xiang Yu, then what face would they have to live in this world.

If he still went to Han Sui to ask for reinforcements, it would be even more embarrassing. He Beigong Boyu couldn't afford to lose his face anyway, but he didn't know if these generals under him could afford to lose this man!
After listening to his analysis, these generals under Beigong Boyu felt that there was some truth in it. A soldier can be killed but not humiliated. If he can't beat Xiang Yu, he can't beat him. It is an honor for a soldier to die on the battlefield. In the end, they really couldn't beat Xiang Yu and were killed, so they deserved to die, but if they admit their cowardice now and seek support from Han Sui, then don't say that Han Sui will look down on them, even they themselves should look down on themselves.

As a result, Beigong Boyu said that the generals under him who had lost to Xiang Yu had lost most of their will to fight, and now they were on fire again, and they all expressed that they would continue to fight Xiang Yu to the death, regardless of victory or defeat. Regardless of life or death, at least it can be regarded as a real man's choice!
