Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 338 Battle of Bi County
Three days later, on the outskirts of Bi County.

The [-] Chu army has already formed a strict formation, and [-] cavalry guard the left and right wings. Right in front are [-] heavy armored soldiers from the right battalion of Hu Ben, followed by flying spearmen, archers and light soldiers from the Fubing. The battalion of dead soldiers, and finally the heavy soldiers. Rows of heavy trucks firmly protected the back of the entire formation.

It can be said that the Jingxiang Chu army was dispatched in full force. In order to gather as many troops as possible, Gao Chu even handed over the defense of Jiangling to the Jingxiang Mansion soldiers who had just been formed. For those who were recruited, because the hearts of the people in the four counties of Jingxiang had not yet been completely subdued, there were not many government soldiers who volunteered. Only more than 5000 people were recruited at the beginning.

The more than 5000 Jingxiang soldiers must not be sent to the battlefield, and they are barely used to defend the city.

The center of the entire army formation is the main formation of the Central Army of the Chu Army. Gao Chu stood on the chariot with a cold expression on his face. The battle was imminent, but he was not so nervous in his heart. It was life or death. Whether it is victory or defeat, it is all in this battle. The Chu army has no way out. Today either Peng Yue died or Gao Chu died!

The strong wind swayed the banners of the Chinese army on the chariot and made a crackling sound.

Behind Gao Chu, Xu Jiang put on the awning and looked forward. Suddenly, Xu Jiang seemed to feel something, and said: "General, they are here, Liang Jun is here."

Gao Chu nodded silently, his expression still indifferent.

Without warning, a low-pitched horn sounded from the northern expanse of night.

Immediately, a faint black line appeared on the distant horizon. As time passed, this black line was slowly extending towards the two wings, and at the same time became thicker and thicker. At a certain moment, rows of banners suddenly Jumping out of it, the entire black line turned into a raging crowd, and Liang Jun...arrived.

##########
In the wilderness, the [-] Liang army was marching southward like a buffalo county migrating south.

Among the thousands of troops, Peng Yue was standing firmly on his luxury chariot with his hand on the shaft of the chariot. Looking down from the top of the chariot, as far as he could see, there were all moving heads and a turbulent flow of people. A strange passion rose from the bottom of Peng Yue's heart in an instant, and immediately permeated the whole body along the limbs and veins.

This is the feeling, the feeling of the battlefield and killing, long gone!

At the end of the right field of vision, a dilapidated city suddenly appeared. You don't need to think about it. It must be Bi County. At that moment, Peng Yue turned his head and asked Peng Ming, "Has the city been investigated?"

As a veteran, Peng Yue has experienced a lot of battles. Although he is not as good at using soldiers as Han Xin, and he is not as good at controlling people as Liu Bang, but it is not without reason that he can escape from the anti-Qin army and become the king of the princes. Yes, at least, he still knows some basic elements on the battlefield.

Peng Ming clasped his hands and said, "Report to Your Majesty, there is no ambush in the city."

Peng Yue looked over the bustling Liang army, and landed on the Chu army who was waiting in formation in the distance. A faint murderous intent suddenly appeared from the corner of Peng Yue's mouth, and he said with disdain: "Gaochu, the formation is quite similar. That's the thing, but a mob is a mob, so what's the use of a good formation?"

After finishing speaking, Peng Yue turned back and shouted, "Where is Liu Kou?!"

Liu Kou, who was accompanying the horse, hurriedly urged the horse forward, bowed his hands on the horse's back, and said proudly: "The last general is here."

Peng Yue raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at the Chu army lined up in front of him, saying: "Lead the elite troops of the headquarters and defeat the Chu army within two hours. If you can't do it, then you don't have to come back to see the widow."

"Here!" Liu Kou responded loudly, and immediately urged the horse to leave.

When the horn sounded, Liang Guo's army, which was heading southward, split into two groups. Peng Yue led the army to stop, while Liu Kou led an army of [-] vanguards to continue southward, approaching the Chu army.

When the two armies were less than a stone's throw away, Liang Jun finally took a shot.

At the place where the Chu army's formation banner opened, a flying horse rode out earlier, but it was Tie Dan, a powerful general under Gaochu's tent.

Tiedan rode out on his flying horse, and stopped until Liang Jun was in front of the formation. Then he struck each other fiercely with the two iron halberds in his hands, and shouted: "Jiangdong Tiedan is here, who dares to step forward to fight against a certain one?!"

Before the words were finished, a young general behind Liu Kou couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately flew out into battle, shouting: "Don't be mad, everyone, Liu Chong from Dang County is here!" Liu Chong is Liu Kou's nephew, He has followed Liu Kou since he was a child, and he has learned Liu Kou's true biography of martial arts, and he has the courage that is undeserved.

While speaking, the two horses had already intersected, and Tie Dan's double halberds had a head-on collision with Liu Chong Daben without any fancy tricks.

Hearing the bang of clang, Tie Dan felt a wave of wild and unrivaled power roll back like a tidal wave, the tiger's jaws of his hands were suddenly split open, blood splashed down, and a pair of iron halberds almost fell apart. Let go and fly!Tie Dan was horrified, this guy is so young, his physical strength is so strong? !
Now Tiedan didn't dare to love to fight anymore, he turned his horse and went straight to the main formation and returned.

How could Liu Chong be willing to give up, and immediately urged his horse and gun to chase Tiedan.

Seeing that Tie Dan could not catch up with him, Liu Chong threw his spear in front of the saddle in desperation, and then shot Tie Dan with a bow and arrow. However, Liu Chong's third arrow hit him straight, and he fell from the horse's back with a scream.

Liu Chong was overjoyed, and immediately put his bow back into its sheath, and with his spear in his hand, he went to kill Tie Dan.

Seeing that Tie Dan was about to die under Liu Chong's spear, a fiery red horse galloped out of the Chu army's formation. Before the horse arrived, a little cold star came straight to Liu Chong's door with piercing screams. Liu Chong's heart trembled, and he hurriedly raised his spear to block it, only to hear a bang, and a spiked heavy arrow broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.

"Son Liu Chong, don't hurt our generals. The Marquis Gaochu of the Great Chu Fan Township is here!" After only a moment's delay, the fiery-colored BMW was already galloping to Tie Dan, and a Chu general was on the horse. , the short beard on the lips curled back like a steel needle, and the eyes were piercing, as if there were two cold flames burning faintly in them, which made people feel palpitating.

"You are Gao Chu?!" Liu Chong was not surprised but delighted, and stabbed with his spear.

"Zhuzi is looking for death!" Gao Chu was furious, and he swung his halberd to fight Liu Chong. At that moment, the two fought in front of the formation like a revolving lantern. After less than twenty rounds, Liu Chong gradually became timid. Anyway, Liu Chong only At the age of 17, although his physical strength is superb, his body has not yet fully grown, and his fighting experience is far less than that of his junior high school.

When Gao Chu was about to show his weakness to kill Liu Chong, another horse galloped out from Liang Jun's formation.

"Gao Chu, don't hurt my nephew!" It was Liu Kou who was worried about his nephew's loss, so Pegasus came to help.

Gao Chu cheered up, opened and closed the halberd in his hand, and started fighting with Liu Kou, Liu Chong's uncle and nephew. Suddenly, the soldiers of the two armies shouted like a tsunami, crazily cheering for their respective leaders.

After fighting for more than 50 rounds, Gao Chu gradually became impatient, and when he was about to feign defeat and shoot Liu Kou, there was a sound of gold ringing in the formation. At that moment, Gao Chu fought hard to force Liu Chong back with a halberd, then reined in his horse and went straight to the formation. back.

Liu Chong was unwilling, and when he wanted to chase again, Liu Kou reined in the horse.

"Uncle?!" Liu Chong pointed at Gao Chu, unwillingly said, "Why don't you let your nephew kill him?"

"Chong'er, you can't kill him." Liu Kou shook his head and said again, "Uncle also can't kill him, if you want to kill him, you have to destroy his army first!" After finishing speaking, Liu Kou raised his halberd again Pulling forward, the [-] Liang army behind them, who were waiting in full battle, immediately yelled and killed a pack of wolves as if they had discovered their prey.

In Shangyong, Hanzhong County, a small county town has gathered an army of [-].

In the hall of the county government office, almost all the famous ministers and generals of the Han Dynasty gathered, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Bai Mo, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo were all there, and Han Wang Liu Bang was also there.

After this battle, Liu Bang prepared a full 20 elite soldiers, of which [-] were assembled in Shangyong, and the other [-] were assembled in the Wuguan area.

Unlike the state of Chu, the Han army did not suffer from food shortages.

The Han Kingdom had three major granaries in Guanzhong, Bashu, and Sanchuan. After ten years of accumulation, the grain accumulated in Xianyang Taicang was more than 300 million shi. The Jiuyuan War sent 60 troops, but only consumed more than 100 million shi. In other words, For a war of the scale of the Jiuyuan War, the Great Han Kingdom can fight at least twice more!

What is strength?This is strength!

In this respect, Chu State also pales in comparison. Although the land in Jiangdong is fertile, its level of reclamation cannot be compared with that of Guanzhong, Bashu, and Sanchuan. After years of accumulation, the Chu State only saved 100 million shi of grain, which is the result of plundering and plundering other countries.

It is precisely because of this that Xiang Zhuang took the risk of expedition to Bashu, because only by capturing the big granary of Bashu, Chu State can get rid of the shackles of food shortage!Otherwise, no matter how developed Chu's commerce is, no matter how sufficient the military pay is, and no matter how well-equipped the Chu army is, if there is not enough military rations, they will be caught blind.

The army of the Han Dynasty was sufficient, and the reason why it only sent 20 troops was because it did not want to consume excessive national power.

In order to regain Jiuyuan, the Han Dynasty has recruited 50 pawns and fought hard for several months. If Guanzhong pawns are recruited again for continuous battles now, the people of Guanzhong will definitely complain.

What's more, in the battle of Jingxiang, there is no need to use the whole country's soldiers to deal with it. According to Zhang Liang's proposal, in the early stage of the Jingxiang battle, the Han army will stand still until the victory of Chu and Liang is decided, and the Han army will wait for the opportunity. At that time, no matter whether Liang Jun won or Chu Jun won, both sides were exhausted, and the Han army could easily make a profit without too many troops.

If the tiger Peng Yue wins, the Han army will take the opportunity to sweep Jingxiang, first cut off the connection between Bashu and Jiangdong, and then find a way to regain the big granary of Bashu. It will go east in a big way, and first destroy Liang State in one fell swoop, thus threatening Chu State's Jiangdong lair from the Central Plains.

In the past few days, Liu Bang and the others have been paying attention to the battle situation in Jingxiang, and the meteor scouts are also flying around the clock to report the latest situation of Jingxiang to Shangyong.
