Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-12-05

After the troops were withdrawn, Fusu summoned all the generals to his tent and asked them to talk about their views on the first day of the war.This time, Meng Tian and other generals did not sit in the central army with Fusu, but went to the front to command, so they got more detailed information than Fusu. Fusu wanted them to tell him about the actions of the Chu army. So as to come up with a strategy that can deal with the Chu army to the maximum extent.

Han Xin first said: "Your Majesty, the last general never thought that the Chu army would be so fierce in battle with our army today. They have only been soldiers for a few years, but now there is no difficulty in commanding. The forward troops of the Chu army were deeply involved, and eventually lost nearly ten thousand people. If we had known that the Chu army was like this, then we would not have allowed the forward troops to go deep alone."

Meng Tian also said: "In today's battle, I found that the central army of the Chu army only moved a little when I attacked from both wings. Obviously they still have reservations. We still have no idea how strong the Chu army is now. Got it."

With these two generals opening their mouths first, the other generals stopped hiding what was in their hearts, and they all told Fusu that the Chu army was not easy to deal with, and how much damage was done to the soldiers under their command. Fusu frowned again and again when he said something like that.What Meng and Han said was targeted, but these generals were completely bragging about the strength of the enemy. Perhaps it was because all the soldiers underestimated the people of Chu before they came to Chu, so when they encountered setbacks, Then there is a heart of fear.Fusu knew that if they were allowed to continue talking like this, once the soldiers heard these words, they would definitely affect the morale of the army, so he said: "Is there nothing that is beneficial to us?"

At this time, Zhang Han, who had never opened his mouth, spoke. He did not actually go to the front line today, but arranged for the transfer of troops from behind, so he did not really see how powerful the Chu people were: "The last general did not go to the battlefield, but Judging from the casualties of our army, there were only more than 1 casualties, and most of the casualties were caused by the forward troops falling into the enemy's line without checking for a while, so the final general thought that the combat power of the Chu army was not as strong as we thought. Strong, we can rely on our superiority in strength to slowly drag down the Chu army."

Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this, but then he shook his head and said, "No, our army attacked Chu this time because the Huns on the grassland were coming south due to civil strife. If we delay in Chu It's been too long, and the Xiongnu will definitely take the opportunity to attack once the civil strife is over, and then we will be in a disadvantageous situation, so we can't procrastinate, we must find a way to solve it quickly."

When everyone heard that they wanted to fight quickly, they all showed embarrassment. It is true that although the Qin army has a certain advantage in terms of strength, the Chu army is actually not weak.Seeing the expressions on the faces of the crowd, Fu Su felt a little helpless. It's not that he didn't know the truth that haste makes waste, but the situation forced him to do so.Seeing that all the generals had lost their minds, Fusu had no choice but to let them go back to the camp to rest and wait for the next day to fight again.

After everyone had retreated, Han Xin suddenly turned around and said to Fusu: "Your Majesty, the general has thought of a way to defeat the [-] Chu troops."

"Oh? Come and listen to me." Fu Su was overjoyed, he believed in Han Xin's ability, otherwise he would not be the founding minister of the Han Dynasty in history.

Han Xinwei hesitated before saying: "Compared with the Chu army, our biggest advantage lies in our strength, but because of the geographical constraints, it is impossible for our army's 20 horses to go into battle together, which allows the Chu army to make use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses. Fight us with fewer soldiers than us. In fact, the reason they can do this is because they have been helped by the rules on the battlefield..." At this point, Han Xin stopped talking and looked at Fusu.Fusu looked at Han Xin very strangely: "General Han, please continue."

Han Dao said, "What the general said next may be somewhat disrespectful to the sages, so please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Fusu had a wry smile all over his face, unexpectedly he stopped because of me, and hurriedly signaled him to continue.Only then did Han Xin continue: "What they rely on is the fighting rules of our people in the Central Plains for three generations. More than 200 years ago, when the countries in the Central Plains were at war, the two sides only attacked the enemy, and did not stop or pursue the fleeing enemies. The killing is to open three sides for the net. But in the past hundred years, because of the war between countries, coupled with the increase of hatred, some people finally started to attack the enemy from the left and right sides at the same time, but the retreating enemy But he was also allowed to retreat, to make room for the net. This is how my Qin army fought against the Chu people today. But this way, the Chu army can calmly confront me with less than half of our army. I think it is really pedantic to do this. Since we are on the battlefield, we should take killing the enemy as the first priority. No kindness or righteousness can bind our hands and feet, so I thought of letting Huang Shang send a team to detour behind the Chu army. Launch an attack on the Chu army at the same time as my army on three sides, so that our army's superiority in strength can be fully demonstrated, and the Chu army will inevitably be in chaos if it is completely unprepared, so it will be defeated by our army. It's just that Doing so goes against the usual way of fighting, so I dare not raise it in public."

After hearing what Han Xin said, Fusu wished to give himself two mouths, and said that he had traveled from the 21st century, but he was so ignorant that he would not think of the strategy of encircling the enemy until Han Xin came to propose it to him. Obviously, I have been in this era for too long, and the modern thinking has gradually disappeared from my mind.So Fusu hurriedly said: "The strategy proposed by General Han is indeed a clever strategy to defeat the enemy. I don't think it is an offense to the sages, but a kind of transcendence to them. The form of war at that time was completely different from what it is today. Now, how can we stay the same? As long as we can defeat the enemy, not to mention encircling the enemy on all sides, even if it is an ambush on all sides, it is easy to do." As soon as the words came out, Fusu felt dumbfounded, and this ambush on all sides was Han Xin Gaixia's last move against Xiang Yu was unexpectedly brought up by himself now.

Han Xin saw that Fusu not only adopted his suggestion, but also praised him greatly, which moved him very much. He always thought that his deviant ideas would not be approved by others.So Han Dao said: "Since the emperor agrees to do this, I will ask you to lead a soldier to quietly detour behind the Chu army, and when our Great Qin army is fighting with the Chu army, run from behind and run to the back of the Chu army, so as to defeat them in one fell swoop. "

Fu Su nodded and said: "I'm sure. You will leave tomorrow when our army is fighting with the Chu army. I have already let the scouts explore the roads around here. You can go find them as guides. And a Once you have reached the back of the Chu army, I will launch the strongest attack with a series of horses, forcing the Chu army to go all out, leaving the back road empty, so that you will be able to attack the Chu army's back road more smoothly."

Han Xin quickly agreed, and the conversation between the two changed the battle between the Qin and Chu armies again.

In the early morning of the next day, the Qin army still sent troops to attack the Chu army's camp as the previous day, and the Chu people also came to resist the enemy in a normal formation. Both sides were still injured, but it seemed that the Qin army suffered relatively large casualties. However, because the Chu army was on the defensive side, the casualties were relatively small.But what the Chu people didn't expect was that Han Xin had quietly left the Qin camp with 3 horses, and started to circle to the rear of the Chu army from the side road.

After the Chu army withdrew, Xiang Yu also called several important generals into his tent, and he said with a serious face: "After these two days of fighting, I can already see that the Qin army is not as powerful as our Chu army. They are comparable, but in terms of fighting spirit, our soldiers in the Chu army are all fighting for the people of Chu, and they are bound to be stronger than the Qin people who went on an expedition against Chu and were threatened by the Huns in the north. So I think we will attack tomorrow. It's time."

Long Qi persuaded from the side: "Overlord, the reason why the Qin army was repulsed by us, and the casualties were more severe than mine, is that the advantage of this place can't allow all their troops to go into battle. It's not that their strength is really inferior. Us. In the humble opinion of the general, it is better to hold the position and let the Qin army attack, so that they can slowly eat away at their strength and hold the Qin army back."

Xiang Yu shook his head and said, "I don't want to be hit head-on by the Qin army and not fight back. If this is the case, why don't we retreat to the city? With the high wall of Surabaya as cover, our army's casualties can be reduced a lot You must know that the reason why the overlord ordered the whole army out of the city is to have a quick battle with the Qin army."

When the other generals saw that someone like Long Qi, who was highly regarded by Xiang Yu, was also refuted by Xiang Yu, they knew that Xiang Yu was determined to fight the Qin army this time, so they had to keep silent.Seeing this situation, Xiang Yu said: "Since everyone agrees, I will arrange for the generals who will attack the Qin army camp tomorrow..." He said the name of a member of the generals, and asked them to take their troops to attack Qin which side of the army.After dozens of generals were arranged properly, Xiang Yu said: "Long Qi, you should take the rest of the troops and stay in our army to ensure safety."

Long Qi knew that Xiang Yu was still angry at this time and would not follow his own advice, so he could only accept his orders.

The third day of the decisive battle between the two sides finally arrived. The soldiers of the Qin army rushed out of the camp under the leadership of their respective generals, but the first thing they saw was the rows of cavalry in armor. Even they are serial horses who have only heard of their names but never seen them.On both sides of the serial horse are light cavalry in leather armor. They are used to cooperate with the serial horse. Once an enemy is scattered by the serial horse, these light cavalry can annihilate the enemy from the side in a flexible fighting form.

Everything was ready, just waiting for Fusu's order.
