Ni Chu

After the Chu army buried the pots and stoves, many people looked up at Xiang Ye from time to time while cooking. Most of them suspected that Xiang Ye would suddenly give the order to charge again.

This time Xiang Ye did not order an attack, but called Shi Lei and Li Xinpeng to him, holding a branch in his hand and gesturing on the ground to discuss with them how to deal with the Qin army.

"Shi Lei, Xin Peng, come and see!" Xiang Ye first drew a straight line on the ground with a branch, and then drew a big circle outside the straight line.After drawing these, he drew a small circle a little further away, followed by a large circle.

He first pointed to the straight line and said to Shi Lei and Li Xinpeng: "This is Puyang City, and the circle outside is Zhang Han's army."

Speaking of this, he moved the branch, pointed at the little dot and said, "Here are us, and behind us is the main force of Da Chu."

Shi Lei and Li Xinpeng looked at the place where Xiang Ye's branches were lit, and although they nodded, they were very puzzled in their hearts, not knowing why Xiang Ye told them these things that everyone knew.

Xiang Ye used a branch to draw a line between the small dot and the big circle on the opposite side, and said to Shi Lei and Li Xinpeng: "Look, we only have 1000 people, but there are nearly 1000 Qin troops on the opposite side. In terms of power comparison, our army must be one against ten warriors, and it is impossible to win. Peigong's intention is obvious, he wants to use us as bait, and when the Qin army's camp changes, The main force of our army launched a general attack on them. This kind of tactics is indeed foolproof, but it is a nightmare for us [-] people. As soon as the battle starts, we are the bait at the front. Of course we can't trap ourselves .”

"What does General Xiang think?" Li Xinpeng usually acted a little silly, but when he was on the battlefield, he was extremely serious. He first carefully looked at the lines and circles drawn by Xiang Ye, and then After a while, he raised his head and asked Xiang Ye.

Xiang Ye grinned at the two of them and said, "Zhang Han is not an idiot. He can't sit on an army of [-] to [-] and let us harass him. I expect that he will send troops to wipe us out soon. Before we set off, I heard that Bai Wuwu is currently assisting in the defense of Puyang City, so we might as well use a trick to make them make trouble first, so that not only will we not have to fight the Qin army head-on, but the effect we will get is much better than directly harassing them."

"Countermeasures?" Shi Lei and Li Xinpeng looked at Xiang Ye with puzzled expressions at the same time and asked, "I don't know how to use this countermeasures?"

"Shi Lei, can you write?" Xiang Ye didn't answer them directly, but looked at Shi Lei and asked.

Shi Lei shook his head, with an expression on his face that it would be better to send him to the gallows than asking him to write: "I know the words, but I know them, they don't know me."

"I will!" Xiang Ye rolled his eyes at Shi Lei, and was about to turn his head to ask Li Xinpeng who was squatting aside, but Li Xinpeng said first: "I have learned to write, but I can't write very well. I don't know if I can do it." ?”

"Okay! Okay!" Hearing that Li Xinpeng said he could write, Xiang Ye nodded quickly, and said to him, "Hurry up and get a piece of wood, and engrave some words according to what I said. After the engraving, Qin Jun should have killed him." , when the time comes, we will leave the wooden board with engraved characters, if we succeed, Puyang will be able to break through in a short time!"

After the discussion, the three of them were busy looking for suitable wood chips and carving knives together.

The lettering is much clearer on the bamboo slices than on the wood slices, but it is very difficult to find the bamboo slices right now, so I can only temporarily find a wood slice to replace it.

Xiang Ye found a small tree nearby, he cut off a piece of wood with bark with a long sword and handed it to Li Xinpeng, Li Xinpeng engraved the words one by one under Xiang Ye's instructions, and when he put After the words were engraved, a soldier in charge of monitoring the Qin army ran over in a panic, knelt in front of Xiang Ye and said, "Report to General Xiang, a group of troops from the main formation of the Qin army suddenly came out, about twice as many as us, Will our army meet?"

Xiang Ye raised his head and looked at the camp of the Qin army. Sure enough, he saw a group of people pouring out from the Qin army. Like the 1000 of them, that group of people were all cavalry, and they were galloping towards them on horseback. There, a cloud of smoke rose into the sky.

"Get on the horses, all!" Seeing Qin Jun rushing towards them, Xiang Ye stood up quickly, threw the newly carved board on the ground, waved to the whole army, and jumped on the horse first.

More than a thousand people had already finished their meal and were ready for battle. Seeing Xiang Ye's call, they thought they would start a bloody battle with the Qin army.

"Retreat!" Xiang Ye ordered, except for Shi Lei and Li Xinpeng, almost everyone was stunned. The more than 1000 Chu soldiers all looked at Xiang Ye in puzzlement, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Liu Bang sent them here to disturb the Qin army's camp, but Xiang Ye didn't fight the Qin army at all.

Although they were full of puzzles, the officers and soldiers of the Chu army did not dare to violate the military order, so they had to follow Xiang Ye reluctantly to retreat.

Bai Fu led two thousand Qin troops to gallop towards the thousand Chu troops led by Xiang Ye. Seeing that the Chu troops retreated before fighting, he couldn't help feeling a little proud, thinking that the Chu troops were afraid of his bravery, so he worked harder He led the army to chase Xiang Ye and the others.

Xiang Ye knew that Bai Fu was chasing after him, so he didn't look back, but led the Chu army to retreat southward.

After rushing up a low slope, Xiang Ye looked back and saw Bai Fu still chasing after him.

A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, stopped the advance of the whole army, and ordered the army behind him: "Everyone dismount, set up spear arrays, and prepare to meet the enemy!"

With an order, more than a thousand people dismounted one after another. After dismounting, they drove the horses away, held spears in their hands, and formed a spear formation along the hillside.

The officers and soldiers of the Chu army didn't know why Xiang Ye wanted them to give up their horses, and instead chose to form a spear formation to meet the enemy on foot. Cavalry spears are slightly different from infantry spears. Infantry spears are specially made for spear formation. The length is much longer than the cavalry spear.

After a group of Chu troops who were originally cavalry formed a spear formation, they stared nervously at the Qin troops who were charging up from the bottom of the slope.

Bai Fu rushed to the front brandishing his spear. When he saw the Chu army abandoning their horses and forming a spear formation with cavalry spears, he couldn't help but feel contempt for the commander of the Chu army.

He galloped forward, and was the first to kill the spear formation that the Chu army had laid out.

"Capture him alive!" Seeing Bai Fu rushing over, Xiang Ye's eyes narrowed slightly. He still remembered the scene of Bai Fu shooting crossbows all the way in the previous sneak attack. Huge help.

"Kill!" Bai Fu chased and killed all the way without using crossbow arrows. He also had a plan. He wanted to capture the chief general of the Chu army alive. Although Zhang Han gave him the order to wipe out the Chu army completely, he But he understands very well that the merit of capturing the enemy general alive is greater than beheading him.

Bai Fu doesn't attach much importance to merit. The reason why he wants to make meritorious deeds is that he wants Bai Wuwu to see that the current Bai family still has generals who can defeat the army, and there is no need to send them to Zhang. Under the eaves of Han, under Zhang's cowardice.

When he rushed to the Chu army, Bai Fu's spear was about to sweep towards the Chu army's spear array, but before his spear could be swept out, a grim reality was placed in front of him.

After Baifu approached, all the Chu troops pointed their spears downwards. The lack of length of the spears was made up for by the slope of the hillside. In addition, the cavalry spears were slightly shorter, and the piercing speed was significantly higher than that of infantry spears. As soon as Bai Fu swung his spear, the horse under his crotch was pierced by more than a dozen spears, and he turned over and fell down.

The horse fell down, and Bai Fu quickly jumped up and wanted to jump off the horse's back, but the horse was still galloping when it fell to the ground, and his body was thrown forward.

A dense row of spears was facing Bai Fu flying in the air. Seeing that his chest was about to hit the wall of spears, the spear formation slipped open at this moment, and two figures rushed out facing Bai Fu .

Seeing that the spear wall was suddenly parted, Bai Fu was taken aback for a moment, and he slammed the spear in his hand on the ground, and then he stretched his body upwards, and then pulled it up a little higher.

He was about to jump out, avoiding the two people rushing out, but one hand firmly grabbed his armor, and pulled him down violently.

"Peng!" With a muffled sound, Bai Fu's body fell heavily on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The grinning Bai Fu was just struggling to get up when he stepped on his back with one foot, and then two swords were placed on his neck.

It took only a moment for Bai Fu to be arrested. When the Qin army he brought rushed up, the gap that the Chu army's spear array had opened closed again.

The horses of the Qin army galloped towards the Chu army. The horses and knights rushing in front were stabbed by spears one after another, and the Qin army behind was knocked over by the falling Tongze in front. It is the rolling horses and the officers and soldiers of the Qin army.

Due to the slope of the hillside, few of the Qin army's war horses rolled forward after being stabbed and overturned. Most of them fell to the side and then rolled down the slope.

It wasn't until this time that the Chu army, who had been a little slanderous about Xiang Ye's order to abandon their horses and set up a spear array, realized that the spears in their hands were not all they could rely on, and that the hillside was the barrier they could really rely on.

The Qin army swarmed towards the hillside in pieces, and then fell in pieces in front of the Chu army's spear wall and rolled down the hillside.

"Kill!" The Qin army who rushed forward gradually realized that the battle was completely against their own side. Many people wanted to rein in their horses, but their efforts were so powerless under the forward momentum of Tongze's charge behind them. , The horse that had just been reined in was arched by the horse from Tongze behind, and then spread its four hooves and slammed into the spear wall of the Chu army, and more and more horses and human corpses gathered in front, and Qin, who was charging up the slope, The army felt like it was struggling and at the mercy of others.
