Ni Chu

Xiang Ye raised his long sword high and stopped the team from advancing.

He saw that under the city of Puyang, the Qin army had already formed a formation in the dark.Countless spears pointed at them, more than a thousand people, like a dense forest.Numerous archers had already opened their bows and arrows, fastened the arrows to the strings, and when the Chu army approached, they shot arrows overwhelmingly at them.

Xiang Ye stopped the team's advance, and he looked at the dark Qin army under Puyang City from a distance.

Zhang Han did not garrison the army in the city, he had his plan.

There are [-] people in the Chu army's western expedition. If he stationed all the troops in the city, whether Puyang City can accommodate so many troops is the second priority. The most important thing is the defense of the city wall. After all, the number of people needed is limited. , Even if everyone enters the city, it is impossible to defend the city at the same time. Once the city wall is breached, even the retreat route of the garrison in the city will be completely blocked.

In this way, he might as well withdraw the main force outside the city, so that he can attack when he advances and defend when he retreats.Once fighting with the Chu army, the Qin army on the city wall can also launch bows and crossbows as a response.In case of loss, it is much better to withdraw from the battlefield than to stay in the city.

Zhang Han's arrangement is undoubtedly correct, and it is precisely because he arranged the army outside the city to form an exceptional support pattern with the defenders in the city that the Qin army was able to discover Xiang Ye who came to make a surprise attack in time.

Seeing that his whereabouts had been discovered by the Qin army, Xiang Ye shook his head helplessly. His original plan was to arrive near the Qin army, first settle down, and then take advantage of the night to make a surprise attack like in TV dramas about ancient wars he had seen before.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as they arrived outside Puyang City, they were discovered by the Qin Army who was in charge of looking out on the city and reported to the main force of the Qin Army outside the city.

"General, I always feel that Liu Bang is asking us to die!" Shi Lei rode up to Xiang Ye's side, pointed at the dark Qin army and said, "There are 5 to 1000 people over there, and we only have [-]. Wake up, even if they took off their pants and whipped us with the thing in the crotch, they also whipped us to death!"

Xiang Ye gave Shi Lei a blank look, and said angrily, "Use the crotch of your crotch? You should take off your trousers and whip it for me to see! Do you think your thing is from a donkey or a horse? Can it be used as a whip? "

"Ugh!" Shi Lei rolled his eyes when Xiang Ye robbed him, and muttered, "It's just an analogy!"

"Tell everyone, rest where you are, don't let your weapons leave your body, don't leave your horse three steps away, and prevent the Qin army from attacking us at any time!" Xiang Ye looked at the dark Qin army, and said to Shi Lei: "Also tell everyone to bury the pot." Cooking, we will talk about everything when we are full!"

The archers of the Qin army in the distance tightened their bowstrings. After waiting for a long time, Xiang Ye led the army to rush towards them. Many people's arms were a little sore, and they gradually put down their bows and arrows, and sat on the ground to observe Xiang Ye and what he brought. More than a thousand Chu troops.

After many Qin Army archers put down their longbows, Xiang Ye pulled the corner of his mouth upwards, and suddenly shouted: "Everyone get on your horse and follow me!"

More than a thousand Chu soldiers were burying pots and preparing to cook, when Xiang Ye suddenly issued an order, and before they had time to put away the pots and stoves, they jumped on their horses and rushed towards Qin Jun behind Xiang Ye.

Seeing the Chu army burying pots for cooking, Qin Jun also got up and began to bury pots and stoves. When they were very busy, they suddenly heard a sound of horseshoes. When they looked up, they saw more than a thousand Chu troops waving their weapons. He galloped towards them.

The Chu army launched an attack without warning, and the Qin army suddenly became flustered. The archers hurriedly picked up their bows and arrows and aimed at the Chu army, while the spearmen hurriedly formed a pile, forming a crooked wall of spears.

What surprised Qin Jun was that after the more than 1000 Chu troops rushed a certain distance, they suddenly stopped again. The Chu army stopped in place for a while, then turned around and ran towards the place where they buried the pot.

Not only the Qin army with their bows and arrows outstretched and the spear formations set up were depressed, but even the Chu army who rushed halfway but was abruptly stopped by Xiang Ye was also confused.

The Chu army was busy burying pots and making food under Xiang Ye's order, and suddenly got an order to attack the Qin army. advance.

When Xiang Ye stopped the army from advancing again, thousands of Chu soldiers looked at him in puzzlement. Xiang Ye didn't explain to everyone, but just gave another order lightly: "Go back and continue cooking!"

When the Chu army suddenly launched an attack, the Qin army prepared for the battle in a panic, but the Chu army suddenly withdrew, which made them feel very puzzled.

Zhang Han stood in the camp with his saber in his hand, watching the more than 1000 Chu troops led by Xiang Ye from a distance. After a while, he waved to Zhang Ping who was beside him.

Before and after Zhang Ping went up, Zhang Han pointed to the Chu army led by Xiang Ye and said: "Look over there, there are only a thousand bandits. If my analysis is correct, they are trying to disturb our army. The bandit army should be right there. Not far afterwards, as long as our army's position is slightly confused, it will inevitably be fatally attacked by the enemy. Instead of being passively beaten, it is better for us to send troops first to wipe out these thousand bandits."

Zhang Ping looked at Xiang Ye's team in the direction of Zhang Han's finger, and after a while he nodded and said: "The enemy must have tried to paralyze our army through multiple feints, and when our army was negligent, they suddenly Launch an attack, although they are relatively small in number, if we let them succeed, our army will inevitably suffer great losses."

"You go and order Baifu to lead 2000 people to attack the bandits, and they must be wiped out before they pose a threat to our army." Zhang Han raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said to Zhang Ping: "The barbarians in Jiangdong are too arrogant." Underestimate me, Zhang Han, we must cut off the heads of the thousand bandits on the opposite side, and let them know that I am not as stupid as they imagined!"

Zhang Ping responded, and turned to look for Bai Fu.

Bai Fugang led the army to fight the Chu army. After returning to the barracks, he was resting in the tent when Zhang Ping opened the curtain and rushed in.

"General Bai!" Zhang Ping didn't greet Bai Fu much after entering the account, and said to him: "The general ordered you to lead another 2000 people to fight!"

"Get out!" Bai Fu lay on the straw mat, with one arm pillowed behind his head, his eyes slightly closed, and said coldly, "Notify the guards, and come in after getting permission!"

Zhang Ping didn't expect to be slumped just after entering the account, his complexion changed, and he wanted to attack, but thinking that it was time to employ people, and Bai Fu was a brave general, so he had to retreat with a flushed face.

Baifu was not originally under Zhang Han's tent, but he joined when the Qin army attacked Wei.Originally, he just wanted to find Bai Wuwu, the elder brother of the same clan, but he was recommended to Zhang Han by Bai Wuwu. When Zhang Han attacked Wei, Bai Fu led the army to intercept Tian Dan, the king of Qi who was going to reinforce him, and beheaded Tian Dan with him. Among the rebellious army; later he helped Zhang Han to besiege Linji and forced King Jiu of Wei to burn himself to death.

He has made great military exploits for the Qin army, but he has never had a good impression of Da Qin. To a certain extent, he even hates the Qin royal family, which is completely different from his elder brother Bai Wuwu.

If it wasn't for being able to stay by Bai Wuwu's side, Bai Fu would definitely lose his general seal and leave the Qin army alone.He has always been brooding about Bai Qi's murder and the implicated family.

Although he is not Bai Qi's direct grandson, he is also a member of the Bai clan. When Bai Qi was punished, the Bai clan searched everywhere for Bai Wuwu to no avail, and finally had no choice but to move away from Xianyang.

Bai Fu has been instilled by his clansmen since he was a child that the Qin royal family is sorry for the Bai clan, and he hates Qin Shihuang deeply. The fundamental reason for helping Zhang Han now is only because Bai Wuyi is here, and Bai Wuyi is the death capital of the Bai clan. The person he wanted to protect, he was just obeying the clan's rules.

In the past, whenever there was any military action, Bai Fu would only accept orders at the behest of Bai Wuyi. Now Bai Wuwu has entered Puyang to assist in defense, but he stayed in the barracks to confront the Chu army.

Zhang Ping rushed straight into the camp. If he were any other general, not only would he not show disgust, but he might even welcome Zhang Ping with a lot of flattery.

The biggest difference between Bai Fu and the others is that he never thought of developing in this army that exists to keep the Great Qin Dynasty, so when Zhang Ping rushed into the camp, he showed great impatience.

After Zhang Ping got out of the tent, he straightened his armor, raised his voice and said to the guards guarding Baifu's tent, "Zhang Ping came to ask to see General Bai, please inform me."

The two soldiers looked at each other, and they looked at each other, wondering whether it was better to go inside to report or not to go inside to report.

In the entire army, no one knows that Zhang Ping is Zhang Han's direct younger brother. Even if he is a general, he will avoid Zhang Ping by three points, but Bai Fu is the one who doesn't buy it. Sometimes his actions make people follow him. His own soldiers also felt troubled.

The two soldiers were in trouble, but Bai Fu in the tent seemed to be magnanimously yelling out: "I don't know that General Zhang Ping is here. I hope you will forgive me if I miss you. Please come in and talk."

Hearing the voice from inside the tent, Zhang Ping frowned, and secretly greeted the eighteen generations of Baifu ancestors one by one.Bai Fu is also very good at pretending, obviously he drove Zhang Ping out, but he was still able to say "I don't know if you are here".

Knowing that the military affairs were urgent, Zhang Ping didn't want to argue with Bai Fu, so he opened the curtain and walked in.

As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Bai Fu still lying with his buttocks on the outside, and he suddenly felt his scalp explode.Bai Fu had ignored him several times, and this time he was even more presumptuous to deliver Zhang Han's order, while Bai Fu was still lying prone on the straw mat.

"General Baifu." Zhang Ping frowned, cupped his fists and slightly arched his back and said, "The general wants me to come forward to deliver an order, ordering you to quickly lead two thousand soldiers and horses, and the thousand soldiers who are approaching our army The rest of the robbers wiped out..."

Just as Zhang Ping said this, Bai Fu stretched his waist and waved to him, saying: "I see, please come back, General, I will be there soon!"

Bai Fu's rudeness made Zhang Ping feel very uncomfortable, but for the safety of Daqin Sheji and the whole army, he had to swallow this breath, arched his hands towards Bai Fu's back again, turned and walked out of the tent.
