I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 123
The banquet ended quickly.

After all, this is the swearing-in practice banquet before the expedition. It is just a simple meal, there will be no entertainment activities, and the process is naturally streamlined.

The three armies set out, and the banners fluttered.

At this time, Liu Le was hiding behind his mother, leaned out half of his body quietly, and said in a voice so weak that only he could hear: "Goodbye, Brother Jiang Ning, you must return safely."

And Chen Luo, who was riding a war horse, happened to turn around. After he easily found where Liu Bang and Lu Zhi were, he could find Liu Le who was like a deer hidden behind the bushes in the forest.

Yao Yao waved vigorously in her direction as a farewell.

The world is not yet peaceful, the main theme of the times is intertwined with blood and fire, and indulging in the love of children is the most unwise choice.

Only by living can there be a future.

Feeling the faint fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose, Chen Luo could tell that it was the scent of gardenia.

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "It's really fragrant, I hope it can last longer."

Six days later, [-] elite Chu troops arrived at Hangu Pass first.

This is the number of soldiers that Xiang Yu likes to command the most. After the baptism of the Qin Dynasty, he can perfectly mobilize soldiers with less than [-] soldiers, and treat them like his arms.

Of course, this cannot be used to prove that Xiang Yu does not have the ability to command a large army to fight.

Rather, he firmly believes that he only needs to have [-] to [-] elites in his hands, and there will be no enemy in this world who can stop him.

The Chu army did not take any rest. They used the Chu language that those self-proclaimed civilized people in the Central Plains mocked as the Nanman tone, sang their hometown songs loudly, and couldn't wait to leave Hangu Pass and set foot on a new battlefield.

For the Chu people who have been away from home for more than a year, this is the journey back to their hometown. No matter how much blood they have to shed, they will go back without hesitation.

In the tent of the Chinese army.

Xiang Yu said lightly: "According to the news reported by the front-line scouts, we have not detected any traces of the Western Wei army. But we have left Hangu Pass for three days, and the front is no longer within our original sphere of influence."

"What does King Xiang mean is that there is an ambush ahead?" Zhong Li Mo pinned some meaning, and frowned slightly, "The king of Western Wei is not a quiet person, but after he destroyed South Korea, he didn't do anything else, probably to prevent us from going out."

Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Western Wei is the first enemy we will face when we leave the customs. We are not only aware of this matter, Wei Bao is also aware of it.

As for the civil strife in Zhao to the north, and the ongoing war between Linjiang State and Wei State in the south, Wei Bao was not affected by other countries, so he had plenty of time to prepare.

Therefore, our scouts did not detect traces of the Western Wei army, but we need to be more vigilant. "

After his words fell, Long Qi asked Ying to say, "The final general is willing to lead [-] soldiers and horses to open the way fifty miles in front of the army. I ask King Xiang for permission."

After thinking for a while, Xiang Yu replied: "Yes. General Long led seven thousand soldiers to serve as the front army to open the way. One thousand cavalry and six thousand armored infantry."

The elite Chu army who left the customs first could gather more than [-] horses and nearly [-] cavalry.

These [-] soldiers are all armored, and [-]% of them can wear full armor.

In this era, they are the most equipped legions.

Therefore, sending a thousand cavalry and six thousand armored infantry to explore the road is really not a luxury.

"The last general takes orders." Long Qi stood up, cupped his hands firmly in his eyes, "I am determined to live up to King Xiang's expectations."

He only asked for [-] soldiers at the beginning, but Xiang Yu took the initiative to double the number of soldiers and provided [-] cavalry.

Regardless of whether it is subjective or not, this decision further guarantees my own safety when exploring the road.

……

Zhongtiao Mountains.

It lives between Taihang Mountain and Huashan Mountain, spanning dozens of miles, with lush greenery in between.

And a road near the Zhongtiao Mountain Range, in the dense forest beside it, [-] Western Wei cavalry were dormant.

Even though their cavalry here is only a "mere" [-], in fact, nearly half of the cavalry in the Western Wei Kingdom are here.

In ancient times, raising a war horse required at least the tax income of three or four families.

If the Western Wei State had not annexed South Korea, it would be very difficult for them to raise [-] cavalry.

But Wei Bao has eyesight.

He saw that the cavalry tactics used by Xiang Yu were quite effective, so when he was named queen, he first established a cavalry of his own.

After attacking South Korea and the cavalry of the Western Wei Dynasty had a miraculous effect, he unswervingly expanded the cavalry.

In the view of Wang Bao of the Western Wei Dynasty, Xiang Yu just took advantage of the cavalry tactics. He followed suit and learned a wave, and he could also perform amazing maneuvers against the sky!

Therefore, he did not hesitate to squeeze the power of the people and exploded his troops crazily, just to accumulate enough cavalry before Xiang Yu left the pass, so that he could catch the Chu army by surprise.

It's just that when Xiang Yu really wanted to leave the customs, he was decisive and followed his heart. He thought that the number of cavalry in the Western Wei Dynasty was inferior to that of the Chu army, and he dared not fight on the frontal battlefield.

So he sent a cavalry to ambush on the side of Zhongtiao Mountain, and charged from the top down, defeating the Chu army in one wave.

The chief general of the Western Wei Dynasty who led the army to set up an ambush was the commander who led the army to attack Changzhi City and destroy South Korea.

He calmly looked at the road in the distance, observing all kinds of movements, but his index finger was constantly rubbing back and forth on the rein, revealing his inner anxiety.

When forming the cavalry, I believed in Ji Bao's rhetoric, thinking that Xiang Yu's unparalleled record was only due to the use of cavalry tactics.

It was only after he really commanded the cavalry that he realized that there might be an insurmountable gap between himself and Xiang Yu.

It's like asking someone to ask: If you try to compare the Zhongtiao Mountain under my feet with the Taishan Mountain in the Qilu Land, who is more majestic and heavy?
Passers-by who heard this question would not even choose to laugh, but would say "ah" in confusion, and then wonder where Zhongtiao Mountain is, and it can be discussed together with Mount Tai.

While thinking wildly, he did not let down his vigilance.

When there was something wrong in the distance, he noticed it immediately.

The flag officer in front also waved the flag as a reminder.

Chu Jun is here!

Upon hearing this news, there was a brief commotion among the cavalry of the Western Wei Dynasty, but it quickly returned to calm, waiting for the command of the general.

"Six to seven thousand people, do you want to let them go and wait for the Chinese army behind to come over and charge them?" The general of the Western Wei Dynasty murmured, his judgment was wrong.

The Western Wei Dynasty did not have specific information on the true strength of the Chu army, so he took it for granted that this Chu army was the former army of the Chu army, not the pathfinding team of the Chu army.

Taking a deep breath, he made a decision: "When they are within a suitable distance, we will start to charge. Disrupt their front army, let the Chu army break up their soldiers, and disrupt the central army."

A quarter of an hour later, there was the sound of horseshoes and the sound of killing!
