Qiang Qin

Chapter 245 Night Battle

Updated: 2010-12-03

Fusu, as a person who always likes to win by surprise, sends troops to attack the camp of the besiegers while defending the city, naturally he also has a set of defensive measures for his own camp when he attacks other people's cities.He knew that no matter how many soldiers he deployed to watch the night, there would still be loopholes, so he asked Peng Hong, who had been hunting in the mountains before, to lead his men to dig large pits at several crossings in the camp, and set up traps in them. Put on the upward spikes, and ordered the soldiers to build the refusal horse, which has already appeared, but is not often used because there are not many cavalry, and put it outside the camp to prevent the cavalry of the Chu people from attacking.

Although these two traps are very simple, their effects are surprisingly great. Under the circumstances that Chu people did not expect at all, hundreds of Chu soldiers fell into the trap in a daze like this. People were nailed to death with spikes.And the crude refusal horse also stabbed the cavalry of the Chu army to the ground.At this time, the soldiers of the Qin army who were ready to stop rushed out of their respective camps, and each attacked the Chu soldiers who fell on the ground with their weapons, and even the sharp arrows in the hands of the archers and crossbowmen. Desperately shooting at the enemy in the pit, the whole Qin army camp screamed continuously, but the screams did not come from the attacked Qin army but from the tricked Chu army.

When Xiang Yu found out that he was once again caught by Qin Jun's timing, the anger in his heart really increased. But at this time, he is no longer the impulsive person he used to be. He knows that he should keep calm on the battlefield. At the same time, he also knows that the most important thing is now. The most important thing is to keep his own troops, so he hurriedly ordered to retreat and retreat to Sishui City.But Qin Jun obviously didn't want to let him go so easily. When he loudly ordered to retreat, many Qin troops suddenly rushed out from all sides, and his tens of thousands of troops were surrounded by Qin troops at once.

Only at this time did Xiang Yu fully understand that the people of Qin had figured out what he was thinking, that's why they put up such a big battle. It seems that it is not so easy to go back to the city today.So Xiang Yu no longer ordered the soldiers to retreat, but said loudly: "Soldiers, there are only two roads in front of us now. Either rush up and break the formation of the Qin army and break through the siege smoothly, or be besieged here and be captured by the Qin army." Kill? Are you willing to fight a bloody path with this overlord, or kill here?"

All the soldiers were flustered at first and didn't know what to do, but they still had adoration for Xiang Yu in their hearts, so after hearing his words, many of them said loudly: "I'm waiting for the original to fight out with the Overlord!" Encirclement!" As these people yelled, the hearts of those who were more flustered began to calm down, they all clenched their weapons tightly, and their eyes began to flash desperately.

Seeing that his words really worked, Xiang Yu was determined, so he continued: "In this case, everyone will follow the overlord and see how the overlord can completely destroy the camp of the Qin army!" Then he raised the long knife, and as soon as he urged the black horse, he rushed out first.The soldiers behind saw that Xiang Yu was the main general and killed them all. Naturally, everyone was desperate, shouting and killing the Qin army who was waiting in full force.

After sending a letter of persuasion to enter the city yesterday, Fusu thought that with Xiang Yu's character, he might suddenly attack the city, and night is the best time for him to go out of the city to make a surprise attack, so Fusu ordered 5 people to stay up all night , Hiding around the camp, just waiting for the Chu army to attack.And the other soldiers were also resting in their respective camps in undressed clothes.At that time, the Qin soldiers did not complain about this, thinking that this was just the emperor's temporary guess, and there was no need to be so serious.But now they are full of admiration. If it weren't for Fusu's preparation, the Chu army's surprise attack tonight would have been successful.So now the soldiers of the Qin army are vying to be the first, and they are fighting bravely against the Chu army.

Fusu was watching this scene with several other generals in the Chinese army, and he was not satisfied. He was able to win against Xiang Yu in such a simple way for the first time on the battlefield, so he couldn't help being unhappy. .For Fusu, Xiang Yu is not only the general in front of him now, but also the actual leader of the Chu State, but also a historical legend. If he can defeat this legend, what a wonderful thing it would be.Just when Fusu was full of joy, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the actions of the besieged Chu army, so he hurriedly took a closer look.

At this time, because the sky was very dark, with only hazy moonlight and a few fire lights, Fusu could only see a general idea.Seeing that the Chu army was in chaos just now, and wanted to withdraw their troops back to the city, Fusu ordered the Qin army ambushing all around to be killed, in order to make the Chu army who wanted to retreat pay a greater price. .But the current situation is a bit wrong. Those Chu troops who were originally surrounded suddenly turned around and rushed towards their own camp of the Chinese army.

"Could they be crazy? With this little force, do they want to attack our Chinese army camp?" Fu Su murmured.Zhang Liang and the others next to him were also full of doubts. Although they sent most of their troops to besiege and kill the Chu army, because Fusu was here, the Chinese army was still guarded by tens of thousands of horses.Even if the Chu army can break through the blocking of the Qin army in front, they will be at the end of their strength when they reach the Chinese army, so how can there be any kills?

But Fusu still underestimated Xiang Yu's ability. Although he was not an opponent of Fusu and the others in terms of tactics, he was good at motivating the fighting spirit of the soldiers, so that the soldiers were willing to die and burst out with great lethality. When the world can match.Otherwise, there would not be a scene in history where tens of thousands of Chu troops killed tens of thousands of Zhang Han's horses and surrendered.Driven by Xiang Yu, all the soldiers of the Chu army rushed up bravely, and 10 soldiers broke through the heavy encirclement in front of them at an incredible speed, and came straight to the Chinese army.

Xiang Yu himself didn't expect that this move would be so smooth. As he got closer to the big banner of the Chinese army, Xiang Yu's thoughts also changed: "Since we can break through the siege of the Qin army so easily, why not really How about killing his central army, beheading the opponent's main general, and defeating the Qin army in one fell swoop?" After such a tempting thought came to Xiang Yu's mind, Xiang Yu was no longer satisfied with scaring Qin's army, and the formation became chaotic. It's just a matter of leading the troops to break out of the encirclement, but to win a decisive victory in one battle.

But just like Fusu didn't understand Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu also didn't figure out who was the main general in the Qin army besieging the city, so he took it for granted that where he came, he would definitely be able to kill the Qin army.But when he came to the Chinese army, he realized that the Qin army here was much higher in terms of military capacity and combat power than the Qin army just now. He charged several times, but was stopped by them desperately.At this time, the Qin army behind them had already surrounded them. If this continued, Xiang Yu knew that his army would fall into the siege of the Qin army again.

With Fusu in the middle army, how could those Qin soldiers not try their best to stop them, and those Qin soldiers who broke out with 3 horses led by Xiang Yu were even more frightened out of their wits. What if the emperor suffered because of his negligence? Injury, then I will really die without redemption.So all the Qin troops didn't care where they were, and hurried to the central army to stop them before Xiang Yu charged in.

When Xiang Yu saw this situation, his heart moved, and he knew that there must be a very important person in the central army of the Qin people, but now it is impossible to kill him with his own strength, so he can only take the troops and insert them diagonally. One of the Qin troops on the side of the Chinese army defeated them and then escaped from the siege and headed towards Sishui City.And the Qin army who was on this road had already rushed there because they were worried that Xiang Yu would hurt Fusu, which allowed Xiang Yu to take the rest of the troops and go to Sishui City calmly.And finally returned to the city safely.

After entering the city, Xiang Yu lost nearly [-] people with a small number of troops. Although the Qin army also suffered a lot of losses this time, the Chu army suffered even greater losses. Morale hit.

However, all the generals in the Qin army camp ran to Fusu's tent to plead guilty. Han Xin, as the commander of this battle, was also full of shame and said: "Your Majesty, it was the improper use of troops by the ministers that gave the Chu people an opportunity to take advantage of it, and made the emperor suffer. Frightened, please ask the emperor to punish you."

Fusu had just calmed down at this time, thinking that if he hadn't left a team at the central army just now, the Chu army might have really killed the generals and came in. When the banner falls, the whole army will collapse completely , even if he doesn't die, the 20 people will probably die here, so he still has some fears.But after hearing what Han Xin and others said, Fusu still smiled calmly and said: "It's no wonder you generals, no one would have thought that the attacking Chu army was so brave. It seems that they only have 3 or [-] horses and can break through us. The encirclement of more than [-] troops shows the strength of the Chu army, and we, the generals of the Qin Dynasty, must not relax too much because we have more troops than the Chu people." At this point, Fusu glanced at the generals below.All the generals are busy and agree. "However, this battle has greatly boosted the morale of our army. Even if the Chu people attacked the camp at night, they were still defeated. When we attack the city tomorrow, everyone will fight for the first. I'll wait for it."

"Is the emperor not going to besiege the city again and not attack?" one of the generals asked in a low voice.

"I think Xiang Yu will sneak attack overnight because of our letter of persuasion, so he will definitely not endure our continuous attack. The purpose of attacking the city is to force Xiang Yu out of the city to fight us, so from tomorrow At the beginning, the army was divided into three groups to attack Sishui City in turn, and Xiang Yu must be forced out of the city to fight with us!" Fusu said.
