Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 18 Night Attack
Before dawn, Xiang Yu had already awakened from his dream. Since his soul took possession of this body, he had been troubled by various dreams. It was not that he never dreamed in his previous life, but at that time he Most of the wandering between the battlefields, Ye Lai's dreams are mostly related to killing enemies on the battlefield.

But his dream in this life mainly has two aspects. One is that the experience and memory of the previous life are turned into dreams. The defeat in the First World War is something he will never forget. The suicide on the bank of the Wujiang River that day not only did not free him from the humiliation of defeat forever, but continued this humiliation until now.

For a period of time, he would dream of the bleak scene of Farewell My Concubine day and night. Obviously, he had had so many glorious and magnificent peak moments in his life, but only this last battle was unforgettable for him, and he won it before. The more it is, the more damage the failure of this battle will cause to him, so that it seems that this psychological imprint cannot be erased, and he has no way to escape.

Later, he dreamed about the many pains experienced by the owner of this body, the real pain of being an ordinary person, a powerless, insignificant ordinary person, but obviously no matter how much Xiang Yu dreams about these pains, In the depths of his heart, he couldn't really feel the pain and despair of the owner of this body at that time, perhaps because there was a more painful thing that had been occupying it in the depths of his heart, making other The pain has been difficult to touch the depths of his soul.

It was not yet dawn, but he couldn't sleep anymore. He walked out of the tent alone and saw the stars all over the sky. He was a generation of heroes like him in his previous life. After he died, he couldn't turn into a bright star in the sky. It can only turn into a lonely ghost wandering in the world.

An unprecedented sense of loneliness swept up, so what if he won the world, even if his old opponent Liu Bang won the world, and with the nearly 400-year-old Han Dynasty, he will also embark on a road of no return. The so-called heroes are nothing but It's temporary, so what's the point of fighting for world hegemony?

If people who knew Xiang Yu in the previous life knew that Xiang Yu had such thoughts in his heart at this time, they would be dumbfounded. Xiang Yu himself couldn't help laughing at the bright moon and starry sky. He obviously didn't sleep well, but at this time he was like this Sober, consciously aware that compared with the vast sky and the sun, moon and stars, this life and all living beings on the earth are just ants.

He also regarded everyone else as an ant, but in the end he finally understood that he himself was an ant.

"Come and drink with me!"

Xiang Yu called the soldiers standing guard around, asked them to boil several cans of sake, cut some dried mutton, and sat in a circle.

The soldiers neither dared to speak, nor dared to drink or eat meat.

"Why are you standing there, drink quickly, eat quickly, and I will take you to great things later!" Xiang Yu picked up the wine jar and drank heavily without saying a word.

"Do big things? General Xiang"

"Is it just us enough?"

"It's enough, just a dozen or so of you are enough, you drink and eat quickly, and we will be able to return with a big victory before dawn."

Several soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, they looked at each other and didn't know what to do, as if what Xiang Yu told them was just drunk nonsense, but they didn't dare to confront Xiang Yu head-on, he was always In the military, one thing is true.

In addition to leaving three or five soldiers to continue to stand guard in the camp, the remaining nine soldiers, including Xiang Yu, a total of ten riders, set off from the camp in the dark.

At this time, most of the soldiers in the battalion were still in deep sleep. They had marched north for several days in a row. Both the soldiers and the horses were actually a little tired. The rebels of the Southern Huns were very cunning. A cavalry team of 200 men came, they did not choose to fight head-on at all, but separated their troops and wandered around in the grassland, making Xiang Yu's troops not sure where their main force was.

This rebellious Southern Huns army itself is relatively small in number, and it will not exceed a thousand people at full strength, and most of them are herdsmen. Most of the herdsmen are good at riding horses. All of them are quite confusing, making it difficult for Xiang Yu's troops to make correct judgments.

So when Xiang Yu assembled all his troops to look northward for the Southern Huns rebels, they hid from Xiang Yu. When Xiang Yu divided his troops into several groups to look for the rebels separately, these rebels could always find opportunities to carry out sneak attacks. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, and the grassland is the territory of these Huns. In addition, the soldiers led by Xiang Yu lack actual combat experience, so they suffered a lot of dark losses.

Even though Xiang Yu's ability and experience to lead the battle are very strong, but when facing the small guerrilla tactics of these nomads, there is still a feeling that his strength cannot be used. keeps falling, and may even lead to collapse in the end.

Just as Xiang Yu in his previous life knew, sometimes a numerical advantage is an advantage on the battlefield, but sometimes it is a disadvantage.

At this time, Xiang Yu's ten-man cavalry was quickly approaching a camp of the Southern Huns.

In fact, Xiang Yu didn't know that there was a camp of the Southern Huns here before. He judged that there might be a camp of the Southern Huns based on his own experience and intuition. During the day, these nomads might be able to ride around on horseback as a whole. , but at night, after all, I still have to find a place to rest.

If there are too many people, it will be easy to be discovered by these Huns with extremely rich experience in wild survival, but Xiang Yu only took these horses, and tied a rag on the horseshoes to reduce the sound of their running as much as possible, In addition, it was already late at night and not far from sunrise, and most of the sentry soldiers of the Huns were close to falling asleep.

At this time, Xiang Yu and his party rushed out of the darkness and rushed straight into the tents of the Huns. Each of them held a torch and lit the tents. Many Huns were engulfed by the flames in their sleep.

Those Huns who rushed out of the camp in panic, before they had time to equip their armor and weapons, were about to encounter Xiang Yu's thunder gun. One of the unlucky guys was directly pierced through the neck by the thunder gun, and immediately died. Blood spurted out, and he couldn't die anymore.

Although the camp of the Huns is not big, there are at least a hundred or so people. At this time, they were killed by Xiang Yu and the ten cavalry. , a man with a fierce appearance, with no hair on his head, opened his mouth to reveal yellow teeth, and roared loudly at Xiang Yu who was not far away. fell off the horse.

Xiang Yu rolled to his feet, only to see the strong Huns with open arms, bare-chested and charging towards Xiang Yu without any armor or weapons. It can be easily waved, which shows its great power.

Xiang Yu stabbed forward with his spear to the opponent's forehead, but was blocked by the strong Huns with a big axe. The tip of the thunderbolt collided with the big axe and made a harsh sound, and then the big ax pushed the muzzle of the gun upwards.

Xiang Yu withdrew his gun. He could feel that his body was far behind the opponent in terms of absolute strength. If he fought head-on, he would not have any advantage or certainty. To defeat the opponent, he needed some combat skills. of.

The opponent's movements emerged in Xiang Yu's mind, and he quickly found the weakness of the strong Huns, that is, the turning speed was very slow, and there was a large attack blind spot and defensive blind spot.

It would be fine if we only dealt with this strong Hun alone, but at this time there were other Hun soldiers wearing armor and weapons, and they were besieging Xiang Yu and the others. After blocking the early offensive, after all, they have an absolute advantage in numbers, and they are on their territory. Once they are surrounded by them, it may be a disaster.

Xiang Yu is keenly aware of this point. Showing off temporary bravery is not what he should be doing now, and they have actually achieved a lot of results in this trip. The opportunity is not too late.

Facing the Huns soldiers who were constantly besieging him, Xiang Yu waved his thunder gun, and a sweeping army came all around. Several Huns soldiers had no time to avoid being knocked down by the spears. Taking the opportunity to find an opening, he rushed out of the encirclement, rode on his good horse, and then led a group of horsemen to charge again, and finally galloped towards the direction where the sun was about to rise.

Xiang Yu turned his head and counted a little, and there were five cavalry behind him, that is, four of the nine people who followed him.
