Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 59

Seeing Xiang Yu setting fire to the city, and then killing him, one of Han Sui's generals was extremely annoyed, thinking how could it be possible for you to escape so easily today, so he gathered his troops and went out to the west gate of Chencang City to chase after him. Xiang Yu killed him.

After all, there were only about a hundred cavalry around Xiang Yu at this time, and after a bloody battle, most of them were injured or exhausted. If they fought again, they might not be able to keep up physically.

At this time, they could choose to ignore the pursuers and move forward all the way. After all, they were all cavalry, and it was not so easy for the pursuers to catch up. However, Xiang Yu decided to continue to retreat for the time being, and then wait for an opportunity to fight back.

Xiang Yu knows very well that the best defense is to attack. When facing pursuit, the more you run away, the more aggressive the opponent will be. The best way is to find a suitable time to deal a heavy blow to the pursuer. As long as you can Given a blow of sufficient intensity, the pursuers would naturally retreat, or at least suspend the pursuit.

At the same time, chasing soldiers often think that they are in an absolute advantage, so they are likely to relax their vigilance. They usually think that the party being chased will not have the courage to fight back, so if they can take advantage of the opponent's psychology If you are slack, you will have a good chance to find a chance to fight back.

And Xiang Yu knows how to do it well. During the Battle of Gaixia, he was still able to lead a small cavalry unit to launch a counterattack against Liu Bang's troops that had countless times his own, and achieved very good results. Not because the disparity in military strength is too great, it may be hard to say who will win in the end.

Therefore, chasing Xiang Yu rashly is not a smart choice. Of course, the generals who are chasing at this time will not know that they are facing Xiang Yu. After leaving the city, there was a mess, and even the infantry and cavalry mixed together and rushed forward, which also caused some of his infantry to be knocked down by his own cavalry, resulting in casualties, but he didn't care about these at all, and kept on coming The troops rushed out of Chencang City, which was already in flames.

You must know that with such a large force advantage on your side, Xiang Yu led such a small number of people to turn the city upside down. I am afraid that anyone else would not be able to swallow this breath.

On Xiang Yu's side, he led his army to a relatively high slope nearby, allowing the cavalry around him to take a rest for a while, while standing on the top of the slope to observe the situation on Chen Cangcheng's side. When he found that there were a large number of chasing soldiers coming out of the city, instead of panicking, he showed a faint smile.

Based on the approximate distance, Xiang Yu deduced that the opponent would catch up soon, and there was not much time left for him to rest, and his current location was less than one mile away from the Weihe River to the south, while the entire north was a plain. This part of the hillside is only about ten meters higher than the plain, and the slope is not steep, and there is a long downhill.

Xiang Yu made up his mind, so he stopped marching forward, but ordered the soldiers to get on their horses and get ready to fight at any time. Although the soldiers were exhausted, the blood in their hearts was still hot. They followed Xiang Yu in Chencang City. The experience of fighting in the ashes together is so passionate, and many of them have never seen or even imagined that they can fight in this way.

They all put Xiang Yu in a very high position in their hearts, believing that under his leadership and command, nothing is impossible, so when Xiang Yu ordered to stop advancing, everyone had no doubts , but each prepares for the upcoming next battle.

Everyone dies, and if a man dies, he will die in a bloody battle, and it is still hard to say who will die and who will live. As long as everyone shows the heart of death, how can there be any battle that cannot be fought?
Soon the pursuers came to the front. They saw that Xiang Yu's troops were standing straight on the top of the slope without any movement. Some soldiers who rushed to the front also temporarily stopped advancing, but the others behind them The soldiers kept charging forward, forcing them to have no way to stop, but because the formation had not been adjusted since leaving the city, the formation was still very chaotic at this time.

The cavalry and infantry were mixed together, making it impossible for the cavalry to take advantage of their speed. At this moment, Xiang Yu on the top of the slope led a group of cavalry to line up. With Xiang Yu's roar, he immediately issued an order to charge. All the cavalry began to rush down the ramp, and Xiang Yu's horse, Benlei, was faster than the other horses around him, so he rushed to the forefront within a few steps.

Han Sui's chasing formation was originally very chaotic, and the generals in command were not even at the forefront of the troops. Facing Xiang Yu's cavalry charging from top to bottom, how could he have much fighting power? The soldiers at the front were rushed away at once. Originally, some infantry with spears and shields were specially used to deal with cavalry charges.

But in the chaotic army, there is no time to set up the formation. The spears are already very long, and they need a corresponding formation and space between each other to exert their combat effectiveness. However, under the current situation, the cavalry of the surrounding friendly forces are mixed with it, and the distance between each other It's also very close, and the troops from the rear are still coming in a steady stream. It never occurred to me that the troops standing in front have been turned into human meat sandwiches.

In this way, the troops at the front didn't have any power to fight back at all, and they lay down when Xiang Yu led the army to charge, and Xiang Yu himself showed the might of the overlord, and relied on his own personal combat power to tear apart the front of the formation. Xiang Yu was able to deal with the oncoming sword and shield soldiers or spear and halberd soldiers with ease. Generally, the enemies who came face to face with him were unable to parry for two rounds before being beheaded by Xiang Yu. Even if the surrounding enemies were If they attack Xiang Yu together, they will still be parried by Xiang Yu, and then they will face his violent counterattack.

Although there were not many people in the charge led by Xiang Yu, it really brought out the power of the cavalry. As a result, the troops that were originally chasing Xiang Yu were directly crushed, especially after the collapse of the current army. The mood of defeat will quickly spread to the rear, just like spreading flowers with drums. Soldiers on the battlefield can only be influenced by friendly troops not far away.

And when several rows of troops at the front are directly defeated, the defeat will quickly spread backwards. After a while, the large troops that were originally rushing forward have evolved into a steady stream of backwards. Troops charging in the opposite direction.

The cavalry and horses mixed in the army were frightened and rushed wildly. They either trampled the infantry of the friendly army under the horseshoes, or were pierced into blood holes by the spears of the friendly army, and more soldiers were collapsing each other. Killing each other under trampling, it was a miserable situation in the world, and blood was left everywhere from the army formation caught in it.

The blood even flowed along the ditch into the Weihe River farther away, dyeing the Weihe River red.

And Xiang Yu also led the army to hide and kill all the way. The troops of more than 100 people caused at least hundreds or even thousands of casualties among Han Sui's rebels. Of course, a large part of the casualties were actually caused by their own friendly troops. caused by the collapse.

And the general who ordered to pursue Xiang Yu was even more miserable. The defeated cavalry who came back from the rebellion were rushed off the horse, and finally was trampled into a meat mud by thousands of troops, and the body could not be recognized at all.

Xiang Yu and the others really killed themselves completely without any strength before ending the battle. At this time, many soldiers were already exhausted, and it can be seen how fierce the battle was this day.

As the sun set, the glowing red glow reflected in the sky, forming a magnificent but tragic scene with the blood and corpses flowing all over the ground.
