Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-09-16

Liu Bang came all the way with more than [-] horses. When he saw the Qin army killed by Xiang Liang's soldiers, he couldn't help but also began to believe that the Qin army had indeed encountered Fusu's attack and retreated to Xianyang.Now that he was chasing and fleeing the enemy, Liu Bang naturally refused to lag behind. More than [-] troops rushed forward, fearing that they would miss the opportunity and Xiang Liang would take all the credit.

Then Liu Bang saw a neat team of the Qin army preparing to fight him, and he and the soldiers under his command were all stunned there.They ran excitedly to beat the dog in the water, but they saw the Qin army waiting in full force.

When Zhang Han saw this chaotic team, the big stone in his heart was put down.He also needed to order. When the Chu army entered the range of the crossbow arrows, the crossbow archers distributed in the front had already shot all the arrows at the Chu army.Because the attack was unprepared, the shield soldiers of the Chu army did not stand at the forefront of the team. When they saw the arrows of the Qin army coming, they quickly set up their shields on the spot, but because the team Loose, so the shield can't cover many soldiers.A round of arrow rain passed, and the Chu army who rushed to the front fell in a large area, and many soldiers fell to the ground with their hands covering their wounds, screaming in pain.

"Shieldmen stepped forward to set up the formation, and spearmen were ready to fight..." Seeing this situation, Liu Bang knew that he couldn't run away, so he had to fight, but now the formation of the team was messy, so he had to order the soldiers to set up the formation right before the battle.But these Chu soldiers first ran for a long distance, and then encountered the attack of the Qin army. At this time, they were already spinning around like chickens without their heads. The soldiers could not find the general, and the general could not find his own soldiers.

Seeing the chaos of the Chu army, Zhang Han naturally would not let go of this good opportunity. He waved the command flag in his hand and ordered: "Cavalry assault, divide the Chu army's troops and horses, and I will divide these Chu troops today. Annihilate all the troops." The cavalry on both sides immediately attacked as a whole, attacking from the left and right of the Chu army.

At this time, Xiang Liang was among the Qin army, watching his soldiers being attacked and fell by the Qin army without any preparation, his heart was full of remorse: "God, I made such a big mistake!" One mistake, is it possible that all the army of Chu State will be buried in my hands?" If he is not tied tightly now, I am afraid that Xiang Liang will commit suicide to apologize.

Because the cavalry began to raid, the crossbowmen of the Qin army stopped firing arrows, which also gave the Chu army a chance to breathe.After all, they are also well-trained veterans. Although they are not the opponents of the Qin army in terms of combat effectiveness, they are still elite soldiers after all. An opportunity in exchange for the lives of thousands of soldiers.Seeing that the cavalry of the Qin army attacked his two wings, Liu Bang hurriedly transferred most of the shield soldiers there. Hundreds of huge shields stood in front of the formation, making the cavalry of the Qin army use the crossbow and arrow technique to play its role. function, and at the same time these shields can be used to block the huge impact of cavalry.Behind the shield soldiers are spearmen one by one, and they are always ready to deal a fatal blow to the cavalry when they rush out of the gap in the shield.

The cavalry of the Qin army raised their crossbows when they were a hundred steps away from the big formation of the Chu army, but those feather arrows did not do much damage to the Chu army. When he was in front of him, he found that he couldn't break through the opponent's defense. After trying to attack a few times, this ten thousand cavalry had to retreat.

Seeing that his cavalry could not achieve the desired effect, Zhang Han couldn't help sighing: "It seems that these Chu soldiers are indeed no worse than my Great Qin soldiers in terms of military discipline. It seems that it is wrong to eat them all at once. It's very possible." Having said that, Zhang Han didn't stop attacking, because he knew that this was an opportunity he had come so hard to get, and if he couldn't wipe out this Chu army, then there might be no chance in the future. There's a better chance.So he immediately issued another order: "The 3 soldiers of the Chinese army will rush straight to the middle of the Chu army in a fish-scale formation, and their formation must be dispersed."

The fish-scale formation is the most suitable formation for attacking the opponent's camp. It is like a fish scale with sharp ends and a thick middle. Once fighting the enemy, it will inevitably break through the opponent's formation, and then divide the enemy with the troops in the middle Come, so that the enemy can not look at each other, so as to deal with the enemy.Following Zhang Han's order, the Chinese army's 3 horses rushed up at the fastest speed. They are all the most elite fighters in this Qin army, and they can fight two against one.

After seeing the Chinese army rushing out, Zhang Han ordered the soldiers on the left and right flanks to wait quietly in front of the formation. Once the Chu army was really rushed away, the troops on both sides would cover up and kill the Chu army together with the Chinese army.For a time, the entire battlefield was full of killing noises, and the Qin and Chu armies fought desperately.The Qin army had the advantage of preemptive strikes and elite soldiers, while the Chu army relied on its large numbers, and the two sides were inseparable for a while.

In the city of Surabaya, both Fan Zeng and Xiao He stayed here. Although they had already received military reports that the Qin army had left the vicinity of Surabaya, the two of them did not dare to be careless. It was too powerful, so they were also afraid that the people of Qin used a strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain this time. The defenders in the old city did not relax their vigilance, and Fan Zeng and his two always went to the top of the city to check to see if it was really safe.

Now the two are on the top of the city again, Xiao He and Fan Zeng are both learned men, they met many times to discuss some knowledge when they were in Kuaiji County, and now they are even closer in Sishui City.Although Xiao He knew that he had an opposing position with Xiang Liang's military adviser, he still admired Fan Zeng's knowledge, so the relationship between the two could be said to be good.After Fan Zeng saw that there was nothing wrong, he said to Xiao He: "Brother Xiao, my general has been chasing the Qin army for two days, and General Liu also went there yesterday, why haven't they brought their troops back for so long? Could it be that the Qin people had other intentions in retreating this time?"

Xiao He was actually worried, but seeing that the soldiers around him were listening to the conversation between the two, he was afraid of causing unnecessary panic, so he said: "Mr. Fan, don't worry, it's obvious that the Qin people retreated so secretly because they didn't want to We know that this would not be the case if it was a plan. Although the Qin army will inevitably withdraw after the withdrawal, the combat power of the Qin people should not be underestimated. Perhaps General Xiang and General Liu are leading the army to fight fiercely with the Qin people. .As long as we can defend the city of Surabaya, those two generals will be able to return safely." When he said this, Xiao He looked to the south and asked strangely: "Where did the army come from?"

Fan Zeng followed Xiao He's gaze, and saw a mighty army approaching Sishui City. He was also surprised, because no one else had so many in Chu State except Xiang Yu's tens of thousands of horses. The soldiers were gone, and he was afraid that Xiang Yu would take the opportunity to seize Sishui County, and then he would be in a dilemma.

The defenders on the city also saw the incoming army, and immediately someone drew their bows to the direction of the incoming army. At the same time, the equipment for defending the city began to move to the south gate, and the army was ready to fight.But the army stopped when it was three miles away from Sishui City, and then a soldier came to the city on horseback and said: "We are the reinforcements from Qi State, and we came to help at the request of the King of Chu." Your army guards Surabaya, is there anyone in charge in the city?"

Xiao He and Fan Zeng looked at each other, and also remembered that when the battle between Qin and Chu began that day, the King of Chu sent envoys to the Qi State to ask for help. After seeing Fan Zeng nod, Xiao He ordered someone to ask: "You said you came from the Qi State?" What proof do the reinforcements have?"

The soldier immediately lifted up the roll in his hand and said, "This is the letter that the King of Chu gave us when he sent my general here. You will know it at a glance."

The people in the city put a basket down and asked him to put the letter in it.When the letter was delivered, Fan Zeng and Xiao He read it carefully, and after confirming that it was indeed a letter from the King of Chu, they said: "This general forgives your sins. We have to be careful in this critical period." Then they ordered the city gate to be opened, Let those Qi troops enter the city.

Jiang Huan traveled all the way, and finally arrived at Sishui City, but he didn't find a Qin soldier. He was very strange in his heart, and asked as soon as he entered the city: "Didn't you say that Sishui City was besieged by Qin Dajunian? Why didn't you see an enemy?" ?”

Originally, after receiving Jiang Huan, Fan Zeng and the two planned to compliment and thank him first, and then took him to meet the wind. Unexpectedly, Jiang Huan was not a person who paid attention to etiquette, so the two had no choice but to tell the truth: "Before the general comes , The Qin army retreated, and the two generals Liu Bang and Xiang Liang led their troops to pursue, and it has been two days now."

"So that's the case, then please tell this general the whereabouts of Qin Jun, so that my troops from Qi State can also go after him." Jiang Huan said with interest as soon as he heard this.

"The precious army has come from a long distance and must be exhausted, why not rest in the city for a night before setting off?" Xiao He persuaded.

"Soldiers are precious and fast. Now is the best time to catch up with the Qin people. How can we wait here? Please also tell this general the whereabouts of the Qin army." Jiang Huan wanted to make meritorious service, so he just kept asking Qin whereabouts of the army.

"Of course they went west." Fan Zeng said to Jiang Huan, thinking that tens of thousands of horses would also help Xiang Liang.As soon as Jiang Huan heard this, he immediately led his troops out of Surabaya City and headed west.Xiao He said with a smile: "With these 5 horses, the Qin army can't possibly escape and ascend to heaven."

At this time, Xiang Yu, who was in Jiujiang County, was already rectifying his troops and preparing to send troops to Surabaya to help his uncle. "Although I don't take the king of Chu seriously, but now it is my uncle who is resisting the Qin army, so I can't stand by and watch. The three armies obey the order and send troops to Sishui City!" Xiang Yu sat on the black horse, facing The generals said.
