Chapter 366 Han Xin’s preparation

Han Xin led his troops to Bashang and looked at Xiang Ceyu's military camp from a distance. He took the initiative to find a low-lying place by the river with gentle roads and a wide view to set up camp. This at least ensured the water supply for the entire army. convenient.

Of course, Han Xin is not afraid of water attacks, because it is impossible to intercept water sources and carry out water attacks at this time of year.

The purpose of setting up camp here is to provide Xiang Ceyu with the convenience to attack him.

Otherwise, he would have to fight against Xiang Ceyu's camp, which would not only take a long time, but also cause heavy casualties.

Han Xin always remembered that he came here to defeat Xiang Ceyu during military training and had no interest in wasting his troops.

Therefore, after Han Xin led his army to arrive, he did not do anything out of the ordinary. He set up camp like an ordinary general, and it did not seem to reveal any big flaws, because the more normal it is, the better it is to cover up.

"The troops brought by Han Xin have already set up camp downstream. Should we attack them?" Yingbu suggested.

"Our army will be stationed at Bashang Camp. As long as the army does not move until the end of the Hongmen Banquet, we can at least save ourselves!" Zhou Yuji insisted on her own ideas and continued: "It's not that I am timid to fight, but the meaning of this battle is not Not big.

Not to mention whether we can defeat this partial division, even if we defeat this partial division, Liu Hua can just recruit [-] Qin army cannon fodder. Liu Hua's main force is intact. If he wins, Ce Yu may really become a thorn in Liu Hua's side. "

After hearing what Zhou Yuji said, Xiang Ceyu naturally agreed.

Why did this war happen? Liu Hua wanted to kill the chicken to show the monkeys, showing his ambition and strength to dominate the world.

Xiang Jian, on the other hand, needs someone to contain Liu Hua's development so as to buy himself more time to recover.

As for Xiang Ceyu himself, the most convenient way to obtain the reputation recognized by the nobles was to step on Liu Hua and ascend to the throne.

Although Xiang Ceyu didn't know the role of this fame, but seeing Liu Hua's strong soldiers and strong horses still pursuing this thing persistently, Xiang Ceyu naturally and instinctively pursued this thing.

But Zhou Yuji understood that Xiang Ceyu did not need to defeat the Qin army.

As long as he sticks to it, Xiang Jian will never forget Xiang Ceyu whether he is appointed an official or divided into feudal lords in the future. After all, his own family, Xiang Ceyu will definitely inherit Xiang Jian's position in the future.

Normally, Xiang Ceyu should get the land in Hanzhong or Nanyang, and its main function is to check and balance Liu Hua's development.

After Xiang Ceyu captured Nanyang and Hanzhong, Xiang Jian's Chu state was able to form an alliance with it. In this way, the Xiang family was equivalent to having the strength of two vassals.

Otherwise, only the Chu family would be able to be manipulated by Liu Hua.

"I think Mr. Zhou Yuji is too cautious. Taking advantage of the enemy's unstable camp, an attack is a good opportunity after all!" Ji Bu stood up and said, "At least we need to know whether Han Xin is really capable or a fake. You have the ability!”

Xiang Ceyu looked at the generals under his command and saw the determination in their eyes, knowing that he could only let them give it a try.

However, Xiang Ceyu had also seen Han Xin's command and knew that letting them go would be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and there would be no return, so he did not intend to let Long Qie, Yingbu and other generals go for a night attack.

"Indeed, you have to test it after all!" Xiang Ceyu said, "I will go there myself!"

Because the camp had just been set up and the facilities were still very crude, at least in Xiang Ceyu's view this was a good opportunity.

Han Xin emphasized stability in the deployment of his Qin army. When setting up camp, he even cleared the surrounding weeds and shrubs.

At least a hundred meters away, so that you can have an unobstructed view, and then build walls and barriers to build defensive facilities.

The reserve soldiers who were building the camp never expected that Xiang Ceyu had led the war department under his command to go around behind them and launch a sneak attack at any time. After they completed the road development work of building bridges and paving roads as usual, they naturally returned to the military camp to eat and sleep.

Except for the people watching the night, everyone fell asleep.

To be honest, not even Han Xin specifically told the entire army that Xiang Ceyu would come to attack the Han army camp.

Because Han Xin is not a god, it is impossible to predict when Xiang Ceyu will attack. Even whether Xiang Ceyu will attack is just Han Xin's own speculation.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to rely on this speculation alone to keep soldiers who have worked hard for a day on high alert for a long time.

So what Han Xin did was to keep the elite troops in the military camp and let the reserves stay stationed on the periphery.

Han Xin asked the reserve soldiers to serve as bait in the outer camp.

If Xiang Ceyu really attacks at night, the reserve soldiers in the outer camp will definitely be the opponent's primary target.

If you want to trap Xiang Ceyu, don't think about using any fake bait. If you want to use it, use the real one.

Because these reservist soldiers have received the most comprehensive military training, each of them is even a talented soldier. As long as they work in the fields under Liu Hua, they are basically equipped with weapons and master this elite talent that is convenient for work.

If added to the army of the princes, one can even directly become a commander. Even if added to most of the elite legions of the Han army, with a little training, one can almost reach the level of second talent.

Therefore, they are soldiers in the army, and they are excellent warriors who follow their own words and deeds.

Of course, Han Xin appointed Li Jing as the general person in charge of this reserve force. It was impossible for him to tell him that I want your reserves to be used as bait, and you should station them outside the camp. If he really said that, he would be afraid that the army would collapse the next day. .

The reason Han Xin gave Li Jing to be stationed outside was because the work of the reserve force was basically done outside the camp.

Whether it was building bridges and roads, constructing camp defense facilities, or even assisting in transporting grain and grass, in short, it was not very convenient for the reservists to carry out these tasks in the city, so the reservists were stationed outside Anyang City to facilitate the movements of the soldiers.

At the same time, Han Xin also wanted to see how capable this young general, who Liu Hua rated as being as talented as himself, was.

Naturally, Li Jing would not refuse Han Xin's thoughtful order for the soldiers. Of course, Han Xin also mentioned casually that this is a military camp after all, and the soldiers must be more vigilant, even at night.

All in all, Han Xin also reminded him, but Han Xin didn't know how effective it would be.

If Li Jing was really capable, he would naturally understand Han Xin's intentions.

The moonlight splashed on the earth, giving the ground a hazy layer of floating gauze. Xiang Ceyu waited patiently until night, especially when one or two floating clouds occasionally drifted on the surface of the moon, covering up a lot of its brilliance.

After all, Han Xin's army has come a long way. Today, they are setting up camps and clearing weeds. It is impossible for the soldiers not to be exhausted.

Therefore, as darkness falls, it is really a night of murderous people in the dark moon, and a sky of high wind and fire.

Finally, when the moon in the sky was completely covered by dark clouds, Xiang Ceyu said to everyone, "Everyone, fight with me!"

Hearing this, Xiang Ceyu's soldiers didn't hesitate at all. They all followed Xiang Ceyu and rushed towards the military camp!
