Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 328 Let Yingbu Go Back

Bi Shu did not agree to Kuai Che's request. He really didn't want to take this risk. Chu and Huainan are allies, and Chu is indeed obliged and responsible to protect Huainan. But now that Huainan has been saved, the Chu army has no It is necessary to fight desperately with the Qi army, especially when there is still a huge risk in it, let alone go.

What's more, from the current point of view, a Huainan country without Yingbo is beneficial to Chu State.

In fact, what Bi Shu wants to do most now is to find a quiet tent, recall the duel with Han Xin several times from beginning to end, and study the details repeatedly. Bi Shu believes that through such analysis, he He must be able to learn a lot from it, and when he fights against Han Xin next time, his performance will be completely different.

Soldiers can only grow up in war. As a commander, he can only grow up in war. Soldiers need blood to become veterans, and commanders need human lives to build superb command capabilities. The Battle of Surabaya , Chu State suffered more than [-] casualties, how can Bi Shu ignore the experience gained at such a heavy price?

Bi Shu declined again, Kuai Che had no choice but to return to Pengcheng in a hurry to find Zhao Zhen.

Besides, Yingbo, with 50 forbidden troops, bit the tail of the Qi army and chased them for more than [-] miles.

Along the way, the Qi army retreated while resisting. One after another, the heavy armored phalanx, one after another light soldier phalanx, and even one bow and arrow phalanx, and the flying spear phalanx, were all chased by the [-] imperial troops of Yingbu. They were defeated one after another, but no matter how fast Yingbu's [-] forbidden troops chased and attacked, the entire formation of the Qi army was by no means chaotic.

Moreover, in the process of fighting and retreating, Han Xin has fully grasped the details of the [-] imperial troops led by Yingbu, including the strength, physical strength, and equipment of this army, and then estimated the overall combat effectiveness. During the pursuit, the physical strength of the Huainan Forbidden Army was severely exhausted again, and it was now at the end of their strength.

What's more, the Chu army didn't come after them, and the Huainan reinforcements didn't even come after them!

After mastering all the details, Han Xin finally took action and launched a thunderous blow to the Huainan army!
In order to retreat, the four-foot-tall watch chariot had been destroyed, but this did not trouble Han Xin. Han Xin asked his relatives to erect dozens of flagpoles in the main formation of the Chinese army, and then hung colorful lanterns on them one by one.

Like the command flag combination, different lantern combinations represent different objects. For example, a red lantern represents the left army, two red lanterns placed side by side represent the left army and the left battalion, and a blue lantern is added behind the three red lanterns in front. , which refers to the middle part of the left camp of the left army, and the height, density, and orientation of the lanterns also have other meanings.

Ordinary soldiers of the Qi army didn't understand these things at all, but officers above Qu Chang had followed Han Xin for a long time, and were very familiar with Han Xin's daytime and nighttime communication systems. He quickly turned around and counterattacked, and launched a fierce attack on Yingbu's 20 Huainan Forbidden Army.

Only then did Yingbu suddenly realize that it was really too reckless to bring only 2 horses to chase and kill Han Xin, but it was too late to regret it at this time, his 2 people had already been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Qi legions , In the darkness, Qi soldiers were everywhere, there were fires everywhere, and the noise of killing was everywhere, and Yingbu didn't even know which direction to break out of.

In fact, even if Yingbu knew the truth of the Qi army, he might not be able to lead the imperial army to break out of the encirclement.

Although Yingbo's [-] forbidden troops are elite, they had already fought a fierce battle with Cao Shen's [-] troops in the previous attack on the Qi army's camp, and they just chased and killed Han Xin's army for fifty miles. Both physical strength and energy have reached their limit, and now it is simply at the end of their strength.

Moreover, the equipment of the Huainan Army is obviously inferior to that of the Chu Army!

Under the waves of Qi army archers and flying spearmen, the casualties of the imperial army increased rapidly. When the dead soldiers of the Qi army launched a fierce offensive from all directions, the formation of the Huainan imperial army finally began to loosen. , It is also unable to prevent the defeat of the Huainan Forbidden Army. In the final analysis, Yingbo is also a human being, not a god.

Helpless, Yingbo could only shrink his troops and form a few formations, ready to defend to the death.

Now, Yingbo's only hope is that the army of Chu State can come as soon as possible. No matter how bad it is, Zhao Zhen and Fei Zhu will come with the Huainan army, and they may be able to force Han Xin to retreat.

##########
But Yingbo didn't know that the country is now in chaos.

On the issue of whether to send troops to rescue Yingbo, the Minister of State Kuai Che, the Chinese doctor Ben He, the general Zhao Zhen, the last general Fei Zhu and other civil and military ministers are about to quarrel.

General Zhao Zhen thought that the Huainan army should not act rashly, and the prince should guard Pengcheng well.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Zhen no longer thought that Yingbo would come back, and he was already prepared in his heart to make the prince the new king.

Ben He, the Chinese doctor, and Fei Zhu, the last general, believed that Yingbu was the king of Huainan and had to be rescued.

Kuai Che still has another worry, that is, once the Huainan army goes out to rescue the Huainan king, will the Chu army take the opportunity to attack Pengcheng?Although Chu State and Huainan State are allies, in the face of huge interests, any alliance is unreliable. If the Chu army has a chance to annihilate and annex Huainan State, I believe that Bi Shu will never be lenient.

At this time, the evil consequences of Yingbo's bad control of people became apparent. Kuai Che was the prime minister of the country, and in name he was the highest official of Huainan Kingdom when Yingbo was away. , or a senior member of the court like Ben He, when Ying Bu was away, they hardly paid Kuai Che's account.

More than a dozen ministers quarreled until dawn, but there was still no result.

##########
Outside the city of Pengcheng, the Chu army had already entered the Qi army camp.

Han Xin’s king’s tent has become Bi Shu’s temporary residence. In the dead of night, the feasible residence is still brightly lit. Bi Shu is earnestly summarizing his experience in the Battle of Surabaya, especially the details, which he carefully wrote down in the public transport paper. On the Internet, there are hundreds of pages and a long article written all over the front and back.

However, looking at this thick pile of handwriting, Bi Shu frowned.

Standing up, he walked in the big tent with his hands behind his back for a long time, until the eastern sky was slightly pale, and then Bi Shu suddenly realized something, turned around and picked up the large stack of Gongshu Zhang written on the desk full of "experience" and threw it into the brazier Seeing the snow-white paper turn into flying ash in the flames, Bi Shu finally showed a trace of relief on his face.

##########
At dawn, the Qi army, which was attacking the Huainan army from all directions, suddenly retreated like a tide.

Yingbo wiped the blood on his face, then turned his head to the east and took a deep breath against the scorching sun. The morning air was really fresh, and even the smell of blood could not cover up the freshness. Unfortunately, it was probably him. It's the last morning in the world, after the Qi army has made some adjustments, it's time for a decisive battle next, right?
When death was imminent, Yingbo didn't regret it, but what's the use of regret?
After a while, a Qi army with neat armor and strict formation suddenly came out of the army, and then went straight to crush the remnants of the Huainan Imperial Army. During the deadly battle, the Qi army stopped suddenly, and a big purple banner flashed out of its formation.

Qi Wang Dazhu?Han Xin? !Ying Bu's eyes narrowed for a moment.

Sure enough, Han Xin in a purple robe stepped out of the formation on a white horse. In Yingbo’s eyes, Han Xin was still the same. His nose was not his nose, his mouth was not his mouth, and every pore on his face was filled with pride. I really want to slap Han Xin hard on the face a few times, but now it seems that he is not qualified to do so.

"Han Xin, are you here to taunt me?" Ying Bo said coldly.

Han Xin smiled lightly, and said, "Yingbu, for the sake of past friendship, let's go."

"Ah?" Yingbo was stunned and said in disbelief, "You just let the widow go?"

"Yes, hurry up." Han Xin nodded and said calmly, "Before I change my mind."

Seeing Han Xin nodding his head, Yingbo became more and more confused. Han Xin is very annoying, but his words mean what he says. He said that if he wanted to let Yingbo go, he would never go back on his word. But why did Han Xin let him go? ?He Yingbo can be regarded as a hero or a tiger, right? Isn't Han Xin letting the tiger go back to the mountain?

"What?" Seeing that Yingbo was still hesitating, Han Xin said coldly, "Yingbo, do you really want to be a prisoner?"

Yingbo swallowed his saliva with some difficulty, turned around and shouted: "Huainan soldiers, follow me..."

"No, you are leaving alone." Before Ying Bu finished speaking, Han Xin interrupted lightly, "As for the thousands of defeated soldiers under your command, there is no need to go back, let them go to Linzi with the widow. "

Yingbo was choked up when he heard the words, and turned his head to look at the soldiers of the Imperial Army behind him with some reluctance, and finally went on his horse.

In the end, the remaining several thousand forbidden soldiers wanted to accompany them, but they were intercepted by the sharp swords and halberds of the Qi army. After a while, Yingbu rode out of the formation, and the Qi army soldiers did not stay in trouble.

It wasn't until he drove his horse up the gallop that Ying Bu heaved a long sigh of relief.

Yingbo couldn't figure it out, why did Han Xin let him go?
Yingbu didn't know that Han Xin didn't want to let him go. It was Lou Jing, Prime Minister of Qi State, who really wanted to let him go. If you really kill Yingbo, then the only one who can really benefit is Chu State. Xiang Zhuang will be able to easily destroy Huainan State, so it is better to let Yingbo go back.

Han Xin suddenly felt that Lou Jing's words made sense, so he accepted the advice, and then he really let Yingbu go back.
