Ni Chu

Chapter 161 The Battle of the Giant Deer 5

Xiang Yu rode on horseback.Silently watching the big ships sank into the bottom of the Yellow River.After those big ships sank to the bottom of the water.Bubbles came out of the hull.The river bed of the flowing Yellow River is tumbling "gulp, gurgle" as if it is boiling.

"Yingbu, Chenwu." The last big boat sank to the bottom of the river.Xiang Yu reined in his horse and ran towards the Chu army behind him.In front of the generals.He reined in.Said to Yingbu and General Pu: "I got a report from the investigation. Zhang Han built a grain road south of Julu. You two immediately led 2 horses to cut off the Qin army's grain road. After destroying the Qin army guarding the grain road, return immediately. Join the army outside Julu City."

"Decree." Yingbu and General Pu heard that Xiang Yu had entrusted them with the task of cutting off the Qin army's food routes.They looked at each other and nodded.He clenched his fist at Xiang Yu.The order went.

"Xiang Ye." After Yingbo and General Pu left.Xiang Yu called out to Xiang Ye again.

Xiang Ye quickly galloped forward.Clasped fists were about to receive the order.I saw a war horse running in the distance.The knight on horseback rolled over and got off his horse when he was still halfway to Xiang Yu.He quickly ran to Xiang Yu and half knelt on the ground and said, "General. There are dozens of people coming here. The armor doesn't look like the Qin army."

"Dozens of people." Xiang Yu frowned.He looked in the direction pointed by Chu Jun who was kneeling on the ground.Sure enough, I saw a small piece of smoke and dust approaching the river in the distance.

Xiang Ye stood behind Xiang Yu.He also stretched his head and looked in the direction of the smoke and dust.Said to Xiang Yu: "Could it be that some princes came to ask for a fight?"

"Let's see." Xiang Yu didn't look back at Xiang Ye.Instead, he flicked the reins.He greeted the small piece of smoke and dust.

Xiang Ye saw this.He hurriedly rode his horse to keep up.When they greeted the small cloud of smoke and dust.Immediately, more than a dozen Xiang Yu's personal soldiers followed closely behind.

When the people on both sides are getting closer.Xiang Yu saw a group of people wearing Zhao Jun's armor galloping on horseback.The leader was wearing the armor of General Zhao Jun.

"General Zhao Chen Yu pays homage to Great General Xiang of Chu." The people on the opposite side approached.The person in the lead reined in sharply.The horse neighed and stood still.The man wearing the armor of General Zhao Guo on horseback bowed his hands to Xiang Yu.Said very respectfully.

Xiang Yu returned a salute to Chen Yu and asked, "The general doesn't guard the formation. What's the point of coming here?"

See Xiang Yu's question.Chen Yu didn't talk too much.Straight to the point, he said: "A few months ago, the last general led his army to rescue Julu. However, the Qin army was too numerous. Moreover, Zhang Han and Wang Li formed a formation of horns. Our army has never been able to find a way to break through. .Today I heard that your army crossed the river. I came here specially to challenge the general. I would like to be the vanguard of the Great Chu Heavenly Soldiers.”

Xiang Yu pondered for a moment.Said to Chen Yu: "Crossing the river this time, the final general has the confidence to completely defeat the Qin army. However, since the general came to ask for a fight, and the one trapped in Julu City is the king of your country. If I refuse the general's kindness, it will appear that I am a little bit Xiaojiazi is angry. Now Qin General Wang Li is besieging Julu City with his army. Troubled General led his army to launch a feint attack on Wang Li to attract the attention of the Qin army. Our army just took advantage of the situation to advance."

Chen Yu's face turned pale and red at what Xiang Yu said.After a while, he cupped his hands towards Xiang Yu and said, "Thank you, General, for your kindness. The last general will return to the camp immediately. Lead the army to attack Wang Li."

After watching Chen Yuyuan go.Xiang Ye moved closer to Xiang Yu's side.He asked in a low voice: "Chen Yu came to ask for a fight. It was a good thing. Why did the general still make remarks."

Xiang Yu looked at Chen Yuyuan's back.He curled his lips and said: "Chen Yu has been stationed here for several months. If he wants to fight the Qin army to the death, he can still wait until our army arrives. I intend to provoke him. It's just to ignite the pride in his chest. If he doesn't say it, let him Feint attack. Instead, let Zhao Jun attack Wang Li directly. I am afraid that the two armies will fight. You don’t need a stick of incense. Zhao Jun will be defeated.”

Xiang Ye nodded half understanding.The look in Xiang Yu's eyes couldn't help but become a little more complicated.Later generations will always affirm his bravery when evaluating Xiang Yu.But no one has ever admitted that he knows strategy.Even in the entire Chu-Han War.Xiang Yu once showed excellent military talent.It also failed to reverse this kind of evaluation and view of the later generations.He has some doubts.Doubt whether history books have a fair and just view of a person.If Xiang Yu doesn't understand strategy at all.And how can they gain a foothold in the complicated and complicated Qin Dynasty.In the end, he started the Chu-Han dispute with Liu Bang.

"By the way, Xiang Ye. You will immediately lead the army to the direction of Julu City as the vanguard of our army. If you meet the Qin army on the way, you only need to fight to the death. The army will arrive immediately." On the way back to the Chu army formation.Xiang Yu gave Xiang Ye an order.

Xiang Ye responded.He rode his horse and ran towards his headquarters.

When Xiang Yu gave the order to let Xiang Ye be the vanguard.Xiang Ye was really full of bitterness and didn't know where to pour it.At this moment he regretted a little.Since returning from Haiyan.He was too prominent.Xiang Yu has been impressed many times.Only now will the important position of pioneer be given to him.

For many generals.Can be a pioneer.That is a very honorable thing.But for Xiang Ye.But it is not a good thing.What he wants is not military merit.outstanding performance.It is nothing more than to be reused in the future.Having military power in hand can help Xiang Yu fight for the world.Let him and those around him survive.

Be a pioneer.Not what Xiang Ye wanted in his heart.The vanguard is the first person in an army to encounter the enemy.After crossing the Yellow River.What the Chu army faced was not tens of thousands of enemies.But a full 40 troops.

Xiang Ye knew that the Chu army would eventually win this battle.But he didn't know what his fate was in this battle, which was never mentioned in the history books.If he died in Julu because of being a pioneer.That is the loss to grandma's house.

After ordering the soldiers and horses.Xiang Ye reluctantly led the troops and set off.

The military order has been issued.On the eve of the war.Disobeyed military orders.What awaits him is bound to be capital punishment.If you don't disobey the military order.Follow Xiang Yu's arrangement.When it comes to the battlefield, adapt to the situation.Life and death are no more than fifty or five.If you can survive by chance.It will definitely be reused by Xiang Yu in the future.As long as Xiang Yu gave him enough military power.He has the confidence to change history.

He has an advantage over anyone around him.He knows the future development of history.As long as he has enough strength in his hands.He has the confidence to reverse the development of the entire Chu Han.

Generals Yingbu and Pu led their troops towards the Qin army south of Julu.When Zhang Han got the news, he didn't pay much attention to it.His main attention was on the main body of the Chu army staying on the bank of the Yellow River.Xiang Yu was the enemy he was really worried about.

Wooden archery towers line the road to the south of Julu City.It's like sticking there like bamboo shoots.

Yingbo looked at those archery towers from a distance.He said to General Pu beside him: "General Pu, you can see that the Qin army has so many archery towers. And there are fences around the archery towers. They must attach great importance to the defense here. How should our army capture this place."

"Hehe." General Pu looked at those watchtowers.Somewhat indifferently said: "General Yingbo must have forgotten General Xiang Ye's favorite trick."

"What trick?" Yingbo asked, looking at General Pu, frowning.

"General Pu smiled slightly. He said to Yingbu: "Use fire.The archery towers are all made of wood.Have the crossbowmen shoot rockets at it.It will inevitably cause Qin Jun to panic.At that time, our army will take advantage of the situation to charge and kill.Will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. "

Heard this way.Ying Bu slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "Why didn't I think of this method. It's just that the Qin army is on the archery tower. Qin's crossbows have a longer range than our army's crossbow arrows. I'm afraid our army's crossbowmen have not yet rushed within the range. will be shot by them. What can I do."

"Don't worry, general." General Pu waved his hand and said, "What the crossbowmen have to do is to set fire to their archery towers. Send out shield formations as cover. Wait until they're done. Then let them charge with the army."

Ying Bu was stunned.Then he nodded and said: "General Pu has a great plan. Cutting off the Qin people's food supply is the key to our army's victory. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. It is better to attack the Qin people immediately. First, we can solve the siege of the giant deer first."

General Pu nodded.Said to the general beside him: "Immediately order the shield array to prepare. The crossbowmen carry burning materials. Mainly attack the Qin army's archery tower."

"Decree." Pian Jiang responded.He tugged at the reins.He turned around and shouted to the Chu army behind him: "The shield array is out. The crossbowmen are in it. The arrows are tied with burning objects. Attack the Qin army's archery tower."

The general's shout just fell.Thousands of Chu troops walked out of the camp.Advance towards the Qin Army Archery Tower.

On every arrow tower of the Qin army.There are five Qin soldiers holding Qin crossbows, and they are always paying attention to the Chu army appearing in their field of vision.

"Hurry up and report to the general. The bandits attacked the grain road." When the Chu army's shield formation moved forward step by step.An officer of the Qin army on the archery tower poked his head out and shouted to the Qin army protecting the grain road below.

After he yelled.An officer of the Qin Army below immediately turned over and jumped on the horseback.He rushed towards Zhang Han's handsome tent.

"The robbers are attacking. Let the arrows go." When the Chu army's shield array advanced within the range of the Qin crossbow.The officers of the Qin Army on the watchtower shouted loudly towards the surrounding watchtowers.

With his cry.The Qin army on the archery tower shot crossbow arrows at the Chu army who was wearing a large shield.

The front two rows of large shields of the Chu army faced forward.Advance step by step.The shield-bearing Chu army who followed them put their shields on their heads.The Chu troops lined up on both sides kept their shields at their sides.Form a tight shield formation.

Many archers of the Chu army hung their backs.Hiding in the shield formation.Step by step, Qin Jun's archery tower approached.On the arrows in their quiver.All wrapped in a thick layer of linen.These sackcloths were also soaked in lamp oil.After the original snow-white sackcloth was soaked.It looks a little oily and yellowish.

Qin Jun's archery towers are arranged very tightly.The shot crossbow arrows flew towards the Chu army's shield formation from all directions.But the Chu army's shield array is very tightly pieced together.Almost all the crossbow bolts hit the huge shield.
