Qiang Qin

Chapter 276 Breakthrough and Encirclement

Updated: 2011-01-02

The sky had just darkened, and the Chu army in Yingchuan City had already begun to gather. Just then, they had already shared the last bit of food left. Under Xiang Yu's encouragement, they decided to take advantage of the new arrival of the Qin people's reinforcements. And not fully prepared to rush out of the city to break through.After analyzing the various reactions of the Qin people outside the city when they saw him leaving the city, Xiang Yu finally decided to divide his troops into four groups and fight out from the four gates at the same time.And one of the troops along the way was completely used to attract the attention of the Qin army, delaying the footsteps of the Qin army so that the other three routes of the Chu army could break out of the encirclement more easily. Even those who were seriously injured or even disabled, they were willing to be the abandoned sons, so that the Chu army would not be wiped out, because they knew that they would not be able to escape the encirclement of the Qin army.

At the second watch, after Xiang Yu raised the long knife in his hand and put it down again, the four Chu troops rushed out from the four gates at the same time, breaking through the encirclement in four directions, east, west, north, south.If the Chu people were to guess which side of the Qin people's defense would be the weakest, everyone would guess that it was the north, and of course the strongest was the south, so the Chu army wanted Xiang Yu to go from the north.But Xiang Yu rejected this proposal, and chose the east, which is second only to the south, because he is the general of the three armies, and he should not be greedy for life and afraid of death in times of crisis.

The Qin people outside the city did not expect that the Chu army would give up the city to kill the generals. They were in a mess for a while, and encountering enemies on all sides at the same time made it impossible for the Qin army to judge from which side the Chu army wanted to break out. It was able to enter the Qin army camp smoothly, thus making the cavalry and crossbow arrows, the most powerful weapons of the Qin people, lose their deterrent power.

Although Han Xin meant to deal with the Chu army tonight, but in the end, Fusu did not implement it, because the army had been exhausted all the way here, and he really didn't have the energy to start a battle with the Chu army immediately, so Fusu Su just wanted to convey his thoughts to the soldiers of each battalion, and asked them to strengthen their guard. At the same time, they set up multiple ambushes outside to prevent the Chu army from breaking through. However, the strategy of using Chu songs to make the Chu people lose their fighting spirit was moved to the second day. .

When everything was arranged properly, it was the first watch, and Fusu, who was tired all day, went back to sleep in his tent.Unexpectedly, just after he fell asleep, he heard the sound of killing from outside the camp, Fusu quickly jumped up from the couch, put on a coat and ran outside the camp.At this time, the night watchmen outside the camp had already kept the emperor's big tent airtight, and now they still don't know where the Chu people came from, so of course they had to protect the emperor's safety first.Seeing Fusu coming out, all the soldiers knelt down on one knee. Fusu waved his hand and said, "What happened? But the Chu army came out of the city?"

One of the soldiers said cautiously: "According to what the soldiers in front said, the Chu army suddenly opened the city gate and came out, and now they are fighting with our army." Hearing this, Fusu felt a burst of regret in his heart, Unexpectedly, as Han Xin thought, the Chu army immediately planned to break out of the siege after seeing that he had brought the army, but he couldn't show it, but calmly said: "The soldiers who are ordered to guard the south should pay more attention. We cannot allow the Chu army to break through and go back."

Immediately, someone went to the south to convey Fusu's will. At this time, Fusu saw Meng Tian striding over. Break out from all sides at the same time, if it is dark today, it is impossible for the soldiers to guard all directions at the same time, please show us how to defend."

Fu Su was stunned. He didn't expect that such a small number of Chu troops would dare to split up to break through the siege, but then he had to praise the good plan. Although the Chu army's dispersal and breakout would disperse their strength, it would also not be able to make the Qin army break out. Stick to one place or pursue fiercely. Once the Qin army separates, there will inevitably be a gap for the Chu army to penetrate. At that time, one of their troops may be able to break out of the encirclement.After pondering for a while, Fusu said: "There are three rivers to the west of this place. It is impossible for Chen Ping to lead people to guard the Chu army, and the road to the north can also go to Chu, so as long as we guard the southeast two sides, the Chu army will not be able to cross it." It is bound to break out of the siege."

This idea coincided with what Meng Tian thought, so he hastily issued this order.Then Han Xin and other generals also rushed over. After seeing Fu Suqiu, they each led their troops to encircle and suppress the Chu army.

After Fusu waited for them to leave, he looked towards the dark northwest. Although he had never deployed heavy troops there, since the forest was stolen by Xiang Yu, Fusu would not let his encirclement have a single gap. He had ambushed thousands of elite soldiers there before dark, and only a few confidant generals knew about it. Once the Chu army really broke out from there, they might suffer even greater losses than breaking out of the encirclement.Fusu would not let Xiang Yu, the cooked duck, fly away from his hands for the second time.

With the help of the dark, Xiang Yu led 3000 people forward to kill the east. At the beginning, he did kill the Qin army by surprise, so that they could fight a long way of blood.But as time went by, Xiang Yu clearly felt that the Qin army's resistance was constantly strengthening. Every step forward required a lot of effort, and some people would bleed or even fall down.But there was no turning back when he opened the bow. Xiang Yu knew that there was only one way to go forward at this time, so even if he saw the Chu army being killed continuously, he could only bite the bullet and fight until he broke out of the encirclement.

Under the protection of more than a dozen personal soldiers, Xiang Yu brandished a long sword in the army of Qin like a demon. Dozens of people have fallen under his sword, and with his bravery as a guarantee, the Chu army behind The number of Qin soldiers facing them was also less, and at the same time, it also made the Chu army more desperate to die.With a cry, Xiang Yu chopped off the head of another Qin soldier, and according to his estimation, this place is less than half a mile away from the last line of defense of the Qin army, so he said loudly: "Soldiers! , we are about to break out of the siege!" Encouraged by his words, the Chu army mustered the last courage and strength at the same time, and rushed towards the Qin army in front of them.

The Qin army guarding the east was led by Han Xin. He estimated that this Chu army was the most elite one from the moment the two sides confronted each other. The Chu army fought recklessly, but let the horses keep retreating, which made the Chu army's front line stretched, so that the Chu army's spirit could be hit.

Sure enough, when the Chu army tried their best to fight, but found that they couldn't break through the encirclement no matter what, their spirit slowly dropped.Xiang Yu even said several times that he was going to kill them. Unexpectedly, after killing a group of Qin troops, what he saw was still the Qin troops who were besieged and killed. Even he himself began to doubt himself.The vigor of the Chu army dropped sharply after several times of disappointment. They had already begun to wave their weapons and began to think about retreating, but how could the Chu army, who was surrounded by heavy siege, be able to fight back?

The Chu army in the south was even more fierce. They were originally used to attract the attention of the Qin people, so they created the greatest momentum, and Xiang Yu's banner was on their side.Every Chu soldier who broke through the siege came out with the belief that they must die, so they didn't care how the Qin army lined up in front of them, they just knew how to kill them blindly, and exchanged their lives for the lives of the Qin army.This kind of life-for-life play made Qin Jun fall into a passive position. After all, Qin Jun had an absolute advantage, and he didn't want to die with the Chu people, so he was killed by the Chu army along the way and retreated again and again.However, as Fusu's will came and Meng Tian brought troops to help, the situation changed. The Qin people began to stabilize their position with their superiority in military strength, and then there were crossbowmen to suppress the Chu army.After a few rounds of arrow rain, most of the Chu army suffered casualties along the way, but there were also many Qin troops who fell in their hands, and they could be considered to have completed their set goals, exhausting a large part of the Qin army's troops. here.But they continued to attack the Qin army in a life-and-death manner until they were all killed.

Compared with the Chu army on the southeast and southeast sides, the Chu army on the northwest side must have been much smoother. Under the leadership of Xiang Bo, the Chu army who broke through to the north under the leadership of Xiang Bo created gaps in the Qin army's formation after several attacks, allowing them to break through. Killed out.Because the Qin army was not prepared, it couldn't organize an effective pursuit after being killed by the Chu army, which allowed the Chu army to flee to the north more quickly.

Although he couldn't return to the state of Chu in the north, Uncle Xiang led the Chu army to the north, because he knew that once the Qin army reacted, they would inevitably set up troops nearby to prevent them from going to the state of Chu, so They simply headed north first, and then changed direction after a certain time.

Turning his head to look at the Qin army camp that was still roaring with murder, Uncle Xiang couldn't help but began to worry about Xiang Yu's safety. He really shouldn't agree with Xiang Yu's decision to let him take risks. Chu State can live without him, but Xiang Yu cannot live without Xiang Yu ah.But now he could only regret secretly, and at the same time fled all the way north with his troops to preserve the strength of Chu State, and only hoped that Xiang Yu could break out of the encirclement of the Qin people.But just when he thought it was safe, he suddenly killed countless Qin soldiers from both sides of the dark and silent road, and their gleaming weapons cleanly pierced into the unprepared Chu army. The Chu army who had just escaped was in chaos.The result of the chaos was that the Chu army of more than 2000 people was completely killed in less than half an hour.The Chu army who broke through to the west encountered exactly the same situation as them. How could the thousands of exhausted Chu troops be the opponents of the long-prepared Qin army?At the same time, the two groups of people were killed by the ambush soldiers under Fusub.

At this time, Xiang Yu, the last remaining one, was also in crisis all the way, and the army's fighting spirit, and the Qin army had already launched the final encirclement...
