I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 54 Conspiracy
"It's too quiet." Xiang Yu spit out these words lightly, with a calm expression.

Chen Luo: "?"

After coughing, Chen Luo said helplessly: "Brother Yu, it's better to explain it to me in detail. Your insight on the battlefield is far inferior to yours, so you are still confused now."

If it was Han Xin, there was no need to explain, maybe after seeing Xiang Yu's actions, he would understand what he was going to do next; but if it were generals like Cao Shen and Long Qi, Xiang Yu's words were enough to wake them up.

It's just that Chen Luo didn't reach that level, and after hearing such a short sentence as "too quiet", he was still confused.

There was a smile on Xiang Yu's face: "Jiang Ning usually understands people's hearts, and can arrange everyone into your plan in Pengcheng. If you don't know military strategy, probably God doesn't want perfect people to exist.

The 'too quiet' I just mentioned means that it has entered the range of Dongjun for several days, and even approached the range of Puyang City for a hundred miles, but no Qin army came to fight.

Then there are only two possibilities, one is that the Qin army is going to hide in the city, but we only have more than [-] people here, I am afraid they will not be so cautious.

Then another possibility is to let us relax our vigilance, and then set up an ambush to annihilate them. "

Now the army is changing in an orderly manner, there is no turmoil, and there is no need for additional micro-management, so Xiang Yu can have enough time to explain to Chen Luo.

After his analysis, Chen Luo's mind instantly cleared up a lot.

After lowering his head, Chen Luo murmured: "So that's it... I understand... So, brother Yu, you expanded the scope of scout patrols a few days ago to guard against the Qin army's ambushes, right?"

"Yeah." Xiang Yu cast his eyes on the mighty river in the distance, "I even considered the possibility of them taking a detour and attacking from the rear at night, but the scouts they sent out found nothing, and their patrol range stopped in front of this big river."

It's not that they don't want to cross the river to patrol, because after Xiang Yu expanded the search area, most of the scouts were equipped with horses.

And if you want to cross the river, not to mention the increased risk of carrying horses on the boat, the more important thing is that it is too obvious that anyone with a discerning eye can see that something is wrong, and it is directly exposed under Qin Jun's nose.

"So you suspect that the other party might set up an ambush on the other side of the river?" Chen Luo squinted his eyes. The opposite river bank was considered flat, and no one could hide within a mile or two within his field of vision.

"It's just a feeling." Xiang Yu rubbed his chin, "Even if he didn't, it wouldn't be a waste of time to change formation and let the Chinese army cross first. If the opponent really dares to make a move, it would be a pleasant surprise."

As for the "sensation theory", Chen Luo supported his forehead silently, but he still quite agrees with the overall statement.

It only takes a quarter of an hour to change formation, which is quite short compared to the six or seven hours it takes for the whole army to cross the river.

And if the opponent really set up an ambush on the other side, then Xiang Yu's countermeasure is undoubtedly the best solution.

The sudden ambush of the former army without a backbone will only cause confusion.

He personally led the Chinese army to cross the river first, even if he was ambushed, Xiang Yu was able to quickly organize his soldiers to fight back.

As the Chinese army moved to the river bank, the soldiers began to board the ships.

Except for the boatman, the large ship can accommodate 35 soldiers, but there are ten large ships that are specially used to transport horses, which accommodate eight horses and three soldiers, while the 56 small boats transport all soldiers, and one transports about ten people.

……

across the river.

At the limit of the field of vision, there is a small hill.

And in the shade of the mountain, there is a Qin army dormant quietly, like jackals in the hunting process, squatting silently, waiting for the prey to appear, and then deliver a fatal blow.

"Report to the general, there is a rebel army on the other side of the river. It should be the main force. There are about [-] people crossing the river."

The general of the Qin army licked his inner lips and said: "You pass on my order, investigate again, and report again."

When the messenger left, the general of the Qin army immediately complimented him: "The general is as good as a god. He guessed the opponent's advance route early and led our army to set up an ambush here. I am afraid that Lord Wu An and Marquis Wu Cheng back then were no more than that."

General Fuxu of the Qin Army smiled proudly: "The rebels invaded our East County from Chu. This is the fastest way to come, so I set up scouts along the way to listen for news and know their whereabouts. This is a trick."

"The general is right. The general will ask you for more advice in the future." The general flattered him again when he saw this.

"Oh?" Qin Jun said when he saw this, "Then I will test you now."

"Yes, general." The general was apprehensive, but nodded confidently.

"Do you know when is the most suitable time for our army to rush out and attack the rebels?"

That will be a while hesitation.

"Do you know why I confiscated the ships on the other side, but left some for the rebels?"

That will show hesitation again.

General Qin shook his head helplessly: "You should read more and learn more. The shelter of your family has made it easy for you to reach your current position. If you continue to advance, you will depend on your military exploits, not a few nice words."

The general lowered his head, and said in a condescending way: "Yes, the general will keep this in mind, I ask the general to advise you on the question just now."

The general of the Qin army said in a deep voice: "I confiscated the boats, but left some, in order to control the number of rebels crossing the river at the same time, and limit it to between 2000 and [-] people.

If it is less than this amount, they may have doubts and find another place to cross the river.Far beyond this amount is related to the second question I just asked you. "

He squinted his eyes, and continued: "Our army has [-] soldiers, but the rebels have more than [-]. If we fight in an array, even if we can win, it will be a difficult and miserable victory.

Therefore, we waited for the second half of the crossing to attack, and when the second batch of soldiers arrived and the ship left the shore, it was the best time.

Because at this time, the two groups of soldiers on the other side overlapped on the bank, and the formation was chaotic. Our sudden attack with an army several times that will surely make them frightened, drive them into the river, and wipe out all of them. "

After saying this, the chief general of the Qin army twirled his beard proudly, raised his head, and kept smiling.

A surprise attack wiped out three thousand traitors, and the remaining traitors on the other side of the river probably would have been terrified to see that scene.

The one next to him was about to finish listening, his eyes were first surprised at the insidiousness of this method, and then he was glad that he was the one who set the ambush.

In the end, he brightened his eyes and said: "The general is indeed a famous general. When you enter Xianyang in the future, His Majesty will definitely give you the title of Marquis."

The general of the Qin army laughed and scolded: "Your kung fu on the battlefield is half as sharp as your mouth. Now the former army of the rebels is crossing the river, and at most one hour later, they will lead the army to charge. Don't be timid at that time."

The general grinned: "General, don't worry about this, it's not the first time I've been on the battlefield, let alone such a favorable situation, will I be lenient?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they both began to calculate in their hearts, thinking about how much military exploits they could gain in the future, and how many levels of title they could raise.
