Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 324 Peak duel (final)

On the north bank of Surabaya, the fierce battle between the Chu and Qi armies continued.

The two groups of heavy armored soldiers of the Qi army and a group of light soldiers who split into the depths of the Chu army were besieged by the Chu army. Similarly, the Chu army's cavalry battalion was also facing the threat of encirclement by the Qi army. Although the movement is as fast as the wind, it is not easy to suddenly switch from offense to defense, and then to escape from the two wings of the Qi army's flying geese formation!
##########
The Chu army's formation was deep, and Han Xin's Su Weilang general Wang Ji was fighting in all directions.

Wang Ji is the second son of Wang Ling, Prime Minister of the Qi State. He has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and he is extremely powerful when he is an adult.

There are rumors that because Han Xin committed too many murders, he was tortured by ghosts when he slept at night, and he could not sleep well every day. This is mostly just a legend, but it also shows the reputation of Wang Ji and Cao Yu in Qi State.

Wang Ji's physical strength and martial arts are indeed not boastful, and there is no one in the iron halberd!

"Ho!" Seeing that Wang Ji beheaded dozens of Chu soldiers in succession, a member of the Chu army's junior high school was so brave that he suddenly had the vicious thought of sacrificing his life. He roared and jumped into the air After hiding the knife, he rushed towards Wang Ji in a daze.

"Looking for death!" A contemptuous sneer appeared on the corner of Wang Ji's mouth, the little man wants to kill himself?Before Xiaojun Chu approached, Wang Ji raised his right leg, which was far beyond ordinary people, and kicked it hard. It hit Xiaoxiao Chu's abdomen. out.

Wang Ji's kick smashed all the viscera in Xiaoxiao Chu's abdomen, and Xiaoxiao Chu died before he hit the ground.

"Team rate!"

"Old cow!"

Seeing this, the Chu army of the two armies was immediately furious, regardless of their inferior skills, they still brandished the sharp ring-shoulders, and rushed towards Wang Ji screaming, but Wang Ji did not retreat but advanced, with a faster speed Speeding towards the two of them, Wang Ji had already passed through the two Chu soldiers like lightning.

The figures of the two Chu soldiers suddenly paused, and their eyes suddenly became dull. It was not until a moment later that a trace of blood finally appeared between the necks of the two of them, and then their heads finally tilted to one side , and fell to the ground slumped, until they died, neither of them knew what kind of weapon they died with, but it was definitely not the pair of iron halberds!

Wang Ji beheaded the two of them in an instant, and when he was about to move forward again, the icy cold suddenly came from the front like a tide. When he looked up quickly, he saw a Chu general who was holding his bow and setting his arrow dozens of steps away. The cluster of arrows had already aimed at his vitals, and the next moment, a few cold stars shot towards him like shooting stars.

"Small tricks!" Wang Ji waved his two halberds, and easily blocked the three arrows shot at him. When the Chu army on the opposite side wanted to draw their bows and arrows again, how could Wang Ji do what he wanted? It was too late. Quickly, the iron halberd held by Wang Ji's right hand was thrown out suddenly, the heavy iron halberd instantly tore through the air, and shot at the Chu general dozens of steps away with an ear-piercing scream.

General Chu was awe-inspiring, and when he was eager to dodge, the iron halberd had already arrived, and with a pop, the iron halberd had already shot into General Chu's left chest, and was carried backwards by the cross blade.

"Haha, there is no one in the mighty state of Chu?" Wang Ji looked up to the sky and laughed, "Where is Xiang Zhuang?!"

"Don't be crazy, everyone. How can a bastard like you have the right to challenge my king?!" As soon as the words fell, a clear and majestic voice suddenly sounded from the opposite Chu army, and then a slender man Surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, the general of the Chu army came up to meet him. Wang Ji's pupils shrank suddenly. After killing for so long, he finally bumped into someone who was worthy.

##########
Not far away, the Xiaoqi Battalion was also caught in a fierce battle.

In order to prevent the two wings of the Qi Army's geese from reversing, and to gain time and space for the retreat of the 3000 heavy cavalry and more than 6000 light soldiers who penetrated deep into the Qi Army and were almost entangled by the Qi Army, more than [-] soldiers roamed around the periphery of the Qi Army. The light cavalry has launched continuous assaults on the two wings of the reversed Qi army.

However, light cavalry is not heavy cavalry after all. Heavy cavalry can ignore the attack of bows and arrows and the intensive defense of heavy infantry, and directly break through from the middle, but light cavalry cannot. While killing the enemy, you must also ensure your own safety as much as possible.

Therefore, the tactics adopted by the Xiaoqi Battalion are roundabout side attacks and layer-by-layer skinning tactics.

To put it simply, a team of cavalry first gallops across the front of the Qi army from a relatively long distance, and uses cavalry and shooting to suppress the Qi army's archers, especially flying spearmen, as much as possible, and then another team of light cavalry Speeding past the Qi army, "peel off" the outermost layer of the Qi army. After peeling off one layer, turn the horse's head and peel off the second layer.

At this moment, the Xiaoqi Battalion had peeled off several layers of the Qi army's wings.

However, the strength of the Qi army is really too much. Although the Xiaoqi Battalion has killed thousands of people, the wings of the Qi army that turned back are as thick as before, and have not been weakened much.

Amid the tidal sound of horseshoes, the Chu cavalry who had galloped a long way came back again, and the archers and spearmen on both wings of the Qi army suddenly became agitated. What a pity, these cavalrymen of Chu state are so fierce in riding and shooting, they have no power to fight back...

Driven by instinct, many archers and spearmen began to shrink back one after another.

The officers at the lower level, such as corporal commander, Shichang, and team leader, were also a little bit upset, but when they turned their heads, they saw that Qu Zhang was still standing there upright, with a very calm expression on his face, and he immediately settled down. He stepped forward and punched and kicked his soldiers, and then yelled at them.

"Don't retreat, I will cut you off if you retreat again."

"If you dare to run away, the whole family will become lowly slaves!"

Some low-level officers with bad temper even directly raised their heavy swords and chopped off a few bloody heads. They had no choice but to muster up the courage to regain their footing, but if they ran away, the consequences would be really serious.

The main reason why Han Xinbing is so powerful is that he possesses far more precise calculation ability and keen battlefield insight ability than ordinary people, but there is another reason that cannot be ignored is that he is strict in running the army. Thinking back when Hanzhong worshiped generals, many of Liu Bang's subordinates The old general was not convinced at all, Han Xin dared to use Liu Bang's king sword to kill people!That was Han Wang Liu Bang's confidant veteran, Han Xin killed as soon as he said he would, which shows how strict Han Xin's army is.

The Qi army was in the main formation, and Han Xin's Qi Wang Dazhu had stopped.

Lou Jing struggled with his old nose to finally see the battle situation in the dark night, and then said to Han Xin worriedly: "My lord, it is already dark, and if we continue to fight, it will be a night battle. It seems that our army has never stayed overnight." The precedent of the war, I am very worried, will this have a negative impact on our army?"

"Night battles are night battles. What are you afraid of?" Han Xin waved his hand, then turned his head and told Cao Yu, "Cao Yu, replace the five-color flags with five-color lanterns, and prepare for night battles! Know the whole army again, the Chu army is at the end of its strength, and it won't last long. Let the soldiers grit their teeth, work harder, and wipe out the Chu army in one fell swoop!"

"Here!" Cao Yu replied suddenly, and went down to prepare the five-color lanterns.

Lou Jing hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, over there at the camp..."

Han Xin was silent. He was also a little worried about the battle at the camp, but he was worried. He couldn't think about it now. Before defeating the Chu army, he would not be able to divide his troops to rescue them. Daying, maybe the war here will be reversed, and Han Xin's melee will be a big one.

At this time, Su Weilang's general Cao Yuhu hurriedly boarded the watch car again, and came to Han Xin, with a serious expression on his face, and even a trace of grief and anger, as if something major had happened. Sure enough, after greeting Han Xin, , Cao Yu burst into tears, and begged while crying: "Your Majesty, the camp has been breached, and my father is in danger. I beg you to give me an elite army, as long as five thousand is enough, and go back to rescue the camp immediately."

"What?" Lou Jing said in shock, "The camp has been breached?!"

The complexions of Cheng Hei and Xu Qing's generals also turned pale in an instant. The camp was breached. Doesn't it mean that the military rations and equipment hoarded in the camp were gone?Without military rations, what do hundreds of thousands of troops eat?Are you going to grab it?Also, what would the Qi army use to attack Pengcheng without equipment and supplies?Could it be possible to build hundreds of thousands of simple long ladders?
Han Xinxin's head also jumped, but he didn't show it at all on his face. He just said lightly: "Why panic? Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Besides, it's just that the camp has fallen. It’s still unknown if we haven’t lost the defense, and if we take another step back, even if the barrier is lost and the military supplies and equipment are lost, it’s nothing, and we’ll come back next time.”

After saying this, Han Xin ordered lightly again: "Send the order, the big banner is backward, and the whole army forms a formation of crane wings, and retreats slowly." After issuing the military order, Han Xin looked back at the distant battlefield with regret. , In the distance, two groups of heavily armored soldiers of the Qi army and one group of dead soldiers with light soldiers have fallen into the heavy siege of the Chu army. If the Qi army retreats, they will die.

The Chu army is in this formation.

Bi Shu was secretly startled because the Chu army was unable to annihilate the two lines of heavy armor and the light soldiers who had penetrated into the hinterland of the Chu army. It seems that the quality of equipment is not the decisive factor on the battlefield. Although occupying the advantage of sharp weapons and more than ten times the strength of the enemy, the Qi army of the three routes formed a defensive formation, and the Chu army failed to succeed for a long time.

Bi Shu thought with regret, if the Huben camp or the Tianlang camp were here, how could the Qi army of the three routes be allowed to be arrogant?
Just as he was thinking about it, Tieniu, the pro-military school lieutenant, suddenly shouted excitedly: "General, the king of Qi is retreating, the king of Qi is retreating, the Qi army is going to retreat! They are going to retreat!"

"Huh?!" Bi Shu raised his head abruptly, and under the dim twilight, he could vaguely see the Qi Wang's banner in the distance. After careful analysis, he could find that the Qi Wang's banner was going backwards, and Bi Shu was ruthless. He slammed Jiedao, "It seems that Huainan King has succeeded, and the Qi army camp has been breached, hahaha..."

Tieniu also excitedly said: "General, do you want to pursue the victory?"

"No!" Bi Shu shook his head resolutely and said, "The Qi army is forming a crane wing formation. This formation is both offensive and defensive. If our army pursues in a hurry, it is very likely that the Qi army will bite back." After a pause, Bi Shu said again, "The most urgent task is to eat up the three Qi armies who are surrounded by our army, and then bite the Qi army from a distance, waiting for the opportunity."
