I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 127 The Han Army Was Attacked, Han Xin Responded

at the same time.

The Han army came out from Wuguan.

As soon as they entered the border of Nanyang County, they encountered an attack from Peng Yue.

In the reeds beside the water, suddenly hundreds of figures appeared, holding strong bows, shooting at the unprepared Han army.

But they were not fond of fighting, and when they saw the shield soldiers of the Han army getting ready, they disappeared abruptly.

When the Han army reacted and chased after them, they could only look at the dozens of small boats going away on the water and scold their mothers.

Even though the casualties of the Han army were not serious, the whole army was extremely angry and felt that they had been severely humiliated.

You must know that when they face the well-equipped Qin army or the brave Serbian army, they can bite off a piece of their flesh, instead of letting the opponent leave easily after being attacked.

However, in this depressed atmosphere, Han Xin climbed to a higher place, looked at the surrounding terrain calmly, made some gestures in his heart thoughtfully, and then returned to the army with a faint smile on his face.

Seeing his appearance, Fan Kui, who was originally full of resentment, suddenly calmed down, and even had a bit of excitement in his eyes.

Seeing his sudden change of expression, Xia Houying on the side asked suspiciously: "Old Fan, you were cursing just now, why do you look like you picked up two baht of gold now?"

Fan Kui chuckled and said to himself, "Didn't you see General Han's expression? He smiled. No matter how cunning that thief Peng Yue is, he is like a chicken with tied wings and locked in a cage. Can he escape?"

Only then did Xia Houying realize that Han Xin in the distance was walking towards Liu Bang, with a relaxed expression on his face.

"General Han is not worried, so we really don't have to worry too much." Xia Houying calmed down and said in admiration, "Old Fan, you have good eyesight. You can still see General Han from such a distance, which is comparable to Lou Fan."

"No." Fan Kui shook his head, "It's not that I have good eyesight, it's that General Han has an aura around him that makes people notice him, which makes me involuntarily attracted to him."

Faced with this simple and rude flattery, Xia Houying and Zhou Bo who had been silent beside him nodded in agreement.

"It's true, General Han."

"If I hadn't turned my back to that direction, I would still be able to see General Han."

Not long after, the messengers rushed over and asked them to go to Liu Bang, saying that Han Xin had something to explain.

The three of them looked at each other, and they all read the surprise in each other's eyes.

Without stopping for a moment, when he rushed to Liu Bang's place, he saw Han Xin stating his thoughts.

"Nanjun and Nanyang counties have many lakes, mountains and dense forests. Most of the soldiers of the Linjiang Kingdom are locals. They are familiar with the terrain and will definitely harass them along the way. Our army should not rush in."

"Great General Han, I don't know how to deal with it?" Liu Bang took the opportunity to ask for countermeasures.

But Han Xin didn't pause, and replied directly: "Slow and steady, before marching, learn about the terrain and dangerous places along the way from the local residents; during the march, let the shield soldiers go outside, so that they can set up shields as soon as possible to defend against bow and arrow attacks, and..."

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, Peng Yue attacked repeatedly, just to panic the Han army.

If they marched quickly, then Peng Yue would send troops to cut off the Han army's food roads, making them exhausted and becoming a tired army. It would be very difficult for the Han army to capture the strong city.

But the Han army has the same advantage.

That is the hard power of their army crushing the soldiers of Linjiang Kingdom.

Just from the archers who came out to attack and shoot arrows just now, it can be seen that they usually do not receive any systematic training, and basically rely on projectiles to cause damage, but they have no strength.

If those ambush archers were replaced by the Chu army, the casualties of the Han army would at least double today.

Han Xin saw that his side had this advantage, so he wanted to expand this advantage step by step and turn it into a victory.

Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and others nodded slightly, approving Han Xin's arrangement.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone was quite quiet, Fan Kui would have switched to the loud praise mode.

After thinking about it, Han Xin added, "By the way, I still have a few specific arrangements..."

……

The Han army rectified slightly, and the centurion and thousand commanders all went out to appease the soldiers under their command, revived their morale, and then marched forward.

After a distance of more than ten miles, another water swamp appeared at their sight.

When the Han army saw it, they couldn't help but feel a shadow in their hearts, thinking that there would be ambushes from the Linjiang Kingdom at any time.

Even though the surrounding area was protected by shield soldiers, they still had some palpitations.

But the more I am afraid of something, the more something will come.

When they gradually approached the water, archers from the Linjiang Kingdom appeared in the reeds again, and their number was nearly double that of last time. From a distance, there were nearly 1000 people. It can only be said that this water is quite hideable.

It's just that although there was commotion among the Han army, the previous appeasement by the centurion and thousand commander had an effect, and their formation was still firmly maintained.

In this way, it was the ambush soldiers from Linjiang Kingdom who were surprised.

They threw a round of bows and arrows, and the Han army quickly erected three or four layers of shields around them. The arrows falling from high altitude by gravity could not pose a threat at all.

But before they had time to throw the second round, they suddenly discovered that two or three hundred chariots of the Han army rushed out from behind, heading towards the edge of the water.

"Evacuate! Evacuate quickly!" The leader of Linjiang Kingdom's ambush shouted.

If it is pawns to counterattack, then they would like to ask for it.

After several rounds of throwing, causing a lot of casualties to the pursuers, they left leisurely in a small boat, laughing heartily at each other's distraught appearance.

But the speed of the chariot was too fast, if they didn't all get on the boat, the opponent's Chang Ge would flash in front of their eyes.

Gritting his teeth, the commander immediately commanded: "Tiger, after you lead three hundred soldiers, wait until our small boat is at least fifty feet away from the shore, and then you can leave by boat."

The young man called Hu was taken aback for a moment, and then said in a muffled voice, "Take care, General."

If some people are not left to delay the approaching Han chariot soldiers, none of them will be able to leave.

Looking at the tiger leaving with his back turned, he took a deep breath, and then shouted: "Evacuate in an orderly manner, you can discard the arrows, don't throw the bow, and offenders will return to the camp and be punished severely."

Their equipment is simple, and most of them have no armor.

For the convenience of running, it is not a problem to throw away the arrows. If a large number of soldiers throw away their bows, they will not be able to equip them with new bows and restore their combat power.

From this point of view, there is a generation gap between them and the Han army in terms of equipment.

When he got on the small boat and started to leave the shore, he looked back and saw that the Han army's chariot had rushed into the reeds, and the wheels ran over, and the soldiers of the Linjiang Kingdom who were ordered to stop them fell to the ground like reeds.

And he saw the Han army on the chariot stretching their bows and drawing arrows, and arrows flew towards him one after another.

He was horrified to see an arrow magnified in his eyes, and then bright red stained his vision.

"General!" With a cry of surprise, he fell down slowly.
