I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 124 Going to Support
"Report! General Dragon's headquarters was attacked!" A four-member cavalry squad galloped forward, and the horses under their crotches were even dripping with sweat, and large drops of sweat slipped from their abdomens.

In fact, five of them should have come to report, but they moved too fast on the way, and unfortunately one of them bumped into his horse on the road and broke his horse's foot, so he had to wait halfway.

Upon hearing the news of Long Qie's attack, Xiang Yu immediately asked about the composition of the ambush army.

The messenger who reported did not have time to catch his breath, and after a simple salute, he spoke very quickly: "Your Majesty, more than five thousand cavalrymen attacked from the forest while our army was passing by on the road beside the mountain, and cut off our army from front to back.

But when the few of us left, General Long had already organized his soldiers to form a defensive formation, which should be able to block the first wave of ambush attacks. "

"I see, you go back and rest first." Xiang Yu looked calm and did not show any panic.

There will be an ambush, which does not surprise him.

Otherwise, I would not have specially asked Long Qi, who was going to explore the road, to bring four thousand more soldiers and one thousand cavalry.

But according to this person's statement, Long Qie was not in a desperate situation.

Although they were ambushed, they were not in that kind of lore-type ambush terrain.

Even if the opponent is a cavalry, there are also cavalry among the Chu army, not to mention that the number of cavalry in the Western Wei Dynasty is not large, so it is probably impossible to eat the [-] Chu army in a very short time.

After all, Xiang Yu still understood Long Qi's ability.

Unless there are strong generals like himself in the Western Wei army, even if they are attacked suddenly, the elite Chu army under Long Qi can still withstand the offensive of the Western Wei army.

After thinking for a while, Xiang Yu said to the guards: "The order goes on, the front army puts on armor and sharpens, puts down the luggage and mounts, and follow me to support General Long."

Long Qie was attacked almost [-] to [-] miles ahead of the army. If he had led the army to support him, it would be safe, but it was possible that when he rushed over, Long Qie's troops had already suffered heavy losses, and the Western Wei army saw the situation was wrong and withdrew.

So he pursues speed.

Their front army has 2000 people, and there is no need to use one man and two horses for short-distance support. The horses in the army are completely sufficient.

Hearing Xiang Yu's order, the personal guard nodded in agreement, and then ran to order the messenger.

After a while, the formation of the Chu army slowly moved.

Chen Luo, who was sitting at the back of the Chinese army, saw Xiang Yu's intentions when he saw the command flag waving in front of him, so he rode forward.

"Brother Yu, are you going to lead the army in person?" Seeing that Xiang Yu had finished putting on his armor, Chen Luo couldn't help but said, "Actually, there is no need to risk yourself, just let General Zhongli or General Xiang Sheng go to support."

Xiang Yu shook his head and chuckled lightly: "Jiang Ning doesn't have to worry, it's just a small battle.

The soldiers under my command are fighting bravely, how can I stay behind and see them fall in bloody battle in front of me?
It's not my style. "

He is not the kind of Confucian general who sits in the tent and plans to rule the world.

Xiang Yu always hoped that he could lead the soldiers to charge on the front line, that he could personally cut down the enemies in front of him, and defeat all the enemy troops who tried to stop him.

This is what he always does!

Seeing that Xiang Yu chose to persevere, Chen Luo was silent for two seconds, and then said: "All right."

Rubbing his chin, he turned and left.

After a while, Xiang Yu looked at the fully armed Chen Luo in amazement and said, "Jiang Ning, you are... you can just stay in the Chinese army and sit in command? It's not when you are in Julu, what are you doing to fight?"

Chen Luo grinned and said, "Brother Yu stepped forward to charge, how could I be afraid to go forward?"

Anyway, if you follow the past, the possibility of encountering danger is extremely small.

After all, his force value is now close to [-], and it is impossible for ordinary soldiers in the Western Wei Army to pose a threat to him.

What's more, there is Xiang Yu in front of him, so there will be no situation where many Western Wei soldiers will besiege him.

And Xiang Yu nodded silently, without saying anything.

……

The cavalry of the Western Wei Dynasty rushed down from a high place to attack, and achieved good results at the beginning.

They cut the Chu army led by Long Qie into two parts from the middle, and the Chu army behind them had no leader, causing a lot of chaos.

It's just that they haven't been able to further expand the results of the battle.

The Western Wei army suddenly discovered that there was also a group of cavalry in the Chu army. These people were organized by Long Qie to confront each other, which suddenly interrupted their momentum of continuously killing the ordinary infantry of the Chu army.

For the time being, they can advance in the formation of the Chu army, but the efficiency is not high, and the opponent's infantry are all armored. If they rely on the speed of the horses sprinting down the hillside, they can easily break through the armor.

But after the charge was slowed down, it was like falling into a quagmire.

The cavalrymen of the Western Wei Dynasty needed their own strength to wield the long swords in their hands and cut through the leather armor of the Chu army. Even if they killed the enemy, their own physical strength would also be consumed a lot.

And the general of the Western Wei Dynasty had an ominous premonition in his heart.

The sneak attack of the Western Wei army defeated part of the Chu army, and one or two thousand soldiers of the Chu army fled in confusion.

He divided his troops into two thousand and went to pursue them, but after a lot of hacking and killing, there was nothing left.

This is what confuses him the most.

According to my own guess, this team should be the opponent's front army, so driving the more than a thousand fleeing soldiers will allow them to attack the central army of the Chu army.

But that expected situation did not happen.

Even though they fought this Chu army here for more than half an hour, they still haven't seen any reinforcements coming.

"No, this is not the main force of the Chu army at all." The general of the Western Wei army changed his face.

If this is not the main force of the opponent, then the elite Western Wei army led by him can't even beat the opponent's partial division, so how can we talk about defeating the main force of the Chu army.

Taking a deep breath, he is making a decision.

It is totally worthless for me to spend any more time with these Chu troops.

So he ordered his personal guards to gather the scattered cavalry of the Western Wei Dynasty and prepare to evacuate.

At this time, Long Qi, who had been paying close attention to the movements of the Western Wei cavalry, saw the situation and had insight into the opponent's intentions.

He didn't chuckle, but clenched the long dagger in his hand, and shouted: "Western Wei army wants to flee. Pass on my order, keep them, and wait for King Xiang to come, and all these thieves will die!"

For a time, the offensive and defensive momentum reversed.

A large number of soldiers of the Chu army rushed forward, divided and blocked the cavalry of the Western Wei Dynasty, and tried their best to delay their departure.

Even though it is difficult for ordinary Chu army infantry to really cause fatal damage to the cavalry, they still caused a lot of trouble to the cavalry of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Seeing that his subordinates could not gather around him for a long time, the Lord General of the Western Wei Dynasty became inexplicably anxious.

But the last thing he wanted to see happened at this very moment.

There was a regular vibration from the ground, and the big red flag of the Chu army in the distance came into view.
