Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 339
In front of the screen where the map was hung, Liu Bang was discussing the battle situation in Jingxiang with Zhang Liang and others. While talking, there was a rush of footsteps coming from outside the lobby. When everyone looked back, they saw Zhou Guanfu had already entered the lobby boldly. He gave a bow and said loudly: "Your Majesty, what a strange thing, the Chu army has taken the initiative to attack!"

"Huh?" Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, then gasped, "Chu Jun took the initiative to attack?!"

Zhou Guanfu nodded and said: "Yes, the Chu army has arrived in Bi County just now!"

"Bi County?" Liu Bang whispered, Bai Mo had already found the location of Bi County on the map, pointed to the map and said to Liu Bang, "Look, my lord, Bi County is here, almost at the junction of Nanyang County and Nanjun County gone."

"Is Pang Yu crazy? Let Jiangling, a fortified city, not defend it, and go to Bi County to fight with Liang's army in the field?" After saying this, Liu Bang suddenly said, "Oh, no, no Pang Yu, it's Gao Chu, I've forgotten that Xiang Zhuang's boy has already transferred his number one confidant, Gao Chu, from Bashu to Jingxiang."

"Gao Chu is definitely not crazy." Bai Mo muttered, "The Chu army should have other plans."

"It's natural that the Chu army has other plans." Chen Ping continued, "I just don't know, what is the Chu army's plan?"

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment, then squinted his eyes and said, "After careful analysis, there are actually traces of the Chu army's plot. The Chu army left the fortified city undefended, but insisted on going to Bi County to fight the Liang army in the field. Pai, it can be said that Peng Yue and the [-] Liang army are not in his eyes at all, and Peng Yue's heart is so arrogant, he will definitely be furious."

Chen Ping thought thoughtfully: "Brother Zifang, you mean that the Chu army used aggressive tactics?"

Bai Mo continued to analyze: "So, the Chu army wants to lure the enemy to go deep?"

Zhou Bo looked at Liu Bang and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to remind Liang Wang Yi Er?"

"I'm afraid it's too late." Zhang Liang shook his head, and sighed, "Shangyong is three or four hundred miles away from Bixian County, and it takes seven or eight hours for a fast horse to run back and forth. If there is no accident, the battle in Bixian County has already started. Even if we send people there, by the time the messenger arrives, the battle over there may have already been settled."

Liu Bang thought for a while and said, "Then just wait and see."

Zhou Guanfu endured it, but he still couldn't hold it back, and asked Zhang Liang, "Military Master, do you think Liang's army will lose this battle?"

Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "Originally, the Liang army should have won this battle better than the Chu army, but now, even I am not sure. This high school student can give up Jiangling and run to Bi. The county's field battle with Liang Jun shows that he still has a strong future, and now it depends on whether Gao Chu can succeed."

Bai Mo said: "If Gao Chu succeeds, the Liang army will surely be defeated."

Chen Pingdao: "That's not necessarily the case. In the face of real strength, all conspiracies and tricks will be useless. If the Chu army can't withstand the frontal attack of the Liang army, Gao Chu's latecomers may not be able to play a role."

Zhang Liangdao: "In short, our army should also make preparations as soon as possible. Whether it is sending troops out of the Central Plains or sweeping Jingxiang, it will be a good result. Of course, if Liang Jun can fight Chu Jun and lose both sides, that would be great. However, this way, our army will not only be able to sweep Jingxiang and take back Bashu, but the Central Plains will also be included."

Liu Bang's eyes lit up instantly, this was the result he wanted most.

On the outskirts of Bi County, fierce battles are raging.

High above the sky, a large number of arrows are weaving and weaving. In the low sky, rows of flying spears are flying in the sky. Blossoms of blood will inevitably bloom. Although heavy armored soldiers have large shields and iron armor to protect their bodies, they can't stop the thrusts of flying spears. Unable to resist the attack of the arrows, under the attack of waves of arrow rain, one by one fell into a pool of blood.

However, it was the heavily armored pawns who fought the hardest and suffered the most casualties.

"Die!" Gao Chu roared, and the horizontal knife in his hand slashed horizontally, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.

"Dreaming!" Liu Kou grinned grinningly, the heavy twin iron halberds came forward without any tricks, only heard a clang sound, and unexpectedly held Gao Chu's horizontal saber forcefully.

In this reckless fight, the two of them were evenly matched.

Taking advantage of Gao Chu and Liu Kou's crossing swords and halberds, when the old strength of the two was exhausted and the new strength was not born, Liu Chong's figure suddenly appeared from behind Liu Kou like a ghost. It had already pierced Gao Chu's throat like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole.

"Zhuzi dare!" Po Jun roared, carrying a big shield, he took two steps forward suddenly, blocking Gao Chu's front, and then there was a clear clang, and Liu Chong's big clumsy spear stabbed heavily at Po Jun. On the big shield of the army, in an instant, a monstrous force rolled back from the big shield, Pojun couldn't stand, and slipped back with his feet rubbing the ground.

"Hey!" Seeing this, the six sharp soldiers of the Chu army lowered their shoulders and set up their shields at the same time. They piled up behind Po Jun. The six of them worked together, and Po Jun was able to block the power of Liu Chong's spear. Well, if Po Jun's large shield was not made of pure iron, this spear alone would probably have been shattered.

At this time, Gao Chu and Liu Kou finally regained their strength, and immediately the two exerted their strength at the same time, pushing forward suddenly.

A huge energy that seemed to be real suddenly burst out from the intersection of the sword and halberd. In the dusty air, Gao Chu and Liu Kou couldn't stand at the same time. Po Jun, Liu Chong and their own soldiers behind them were immediately brought down a large area, and the front of the two armies was turned on their backs.

Gao Chu retreated five steps in a row before finally regaining his footing, and said awe-inspiringly, "As expected of Liang Jun!"

However, Liu Kou retreated seven full steps before barely gaining a foothold, and said grimly, "Chu Jun, that's all!"

At the forefront of the hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers of the two armies on the left and right are still fighting desperately. In the blink of an eye, tens of hundreds of soldiers died on the battlefield. After a brief confrontation, both Gao Chu and Liu Kou had already discovered that it would be difficult to defeat the opponent in a short time.

Gao Chu’s commanding style is in the same line as Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang’s. In a big battle, they all take the lead and rush to the forefront of the entire army. This approach can greatly boost the morale of the entire army. Breaking through the crowd, however, requires extremely high martial arts from the general, and not everyone can imitate it.

If someone else led the army, even if Peng Yue led the army himself, under the onslaught of Gao Chu and the eight hundred soldiers, he might have been defeated. However, this time, Gao Chu met a real opponent. He is on par with him, and his fighting style is almost the same. He also advocates taking the lead and destroying the enemy's front in Zhengrui!
Taking a deep breath of the bloody air, Gao Chu slashed his knife across his chest and said in a deep voice, "Liu Kou, within ten minutes, this general will kill you!"

"Ha, what an arrogant high school boy, don't talk about ten matches, but fifty matches and five hundred matches. Why is this general afraid of you?" Liu Kou laughed back in anger. On the arms are even more knotted muscles, supplemented by a tower-like figure, instantly exuding a beast-like prehistoric and violent aura.

"Liu Kou, die!"

"Eat me with a halberd!"

After a short confrontation, Gao Chu and Liu Kou pounced forward almost at the same time, like two raging lions, opened their bloody mouths and showed their sharp claws, and fought together violently. Behind Liu Kou, he attempted to attack Gao Chu from the flank several times, but was blocked by Po Jun and the soldiers behind him.

Although the Liang army attacked like a tide, the Chu army stood still.

A few miles away, Liang Jun is in the formation.

Peng Yue slapped the guardrail resentfully, and said angrily, "Liu Kou is an idiot, what is he doing?"

Lieutenant Peng Ming, the lieutenant of the Chinese Army, had always been dissatisfied with Liu Kou, so he sneered and said: "The general seems to be really old, [-] elites have stormed for nearly two hours, but they still can't defeat the tens of thousands of mobs?!"

Shen Tujia, the lieutenant of the guard, was not angry, and retorted loudly: "Didn't you see the big banner with the tiger embroidered on it? That's the Huben Camp of Chu State. This is not a mob, but the real elite of the Chu army!"

"Stupid elite!" Peng Ming said disdainfully, "Turn a few tiger flags and become an elite?"

"That's the banner of the Chu Army's Huben Camp!" Shentu Jia said, "Not any army can fight it."

"Shentu, what is your intention to increase your ambition and destroy your own prestige every time?" Peng Ming was furious.

"The last general is just stating the facts." Shen Tujia responded coldly, and then said to Peng Yue, "Your Majesty Mingjian, it's not that the general's attack is not sharp enough, it's because the defense of the Chu army is solid!"

"Shentu, you still dare to talk nonsense?" Peng Yue was furious.

"Enough!" Peng Yue was furious, and gave Peng Ming a hard look, and Peng Ming fell silent.

Peng Yue said again: "The fighting strength of the Chu Army's Huben Camp is not weak, but Xiangzhuang is not here. Liu Kou can't defeat them for such a long time, but it has disgraced our Liang Army!" After a pause, Peng Yue looked around again, and shouted sharply, "The big banner sends an order, all the troops will come out together, and defeat the Chu army in one fell swoop!"

##########
The Chu army is in this formation.

Gaochu took the lead and left, but the burden of being in the army fell on Xu Jiang who joined the army, but Xu Jiang was just a frail scholar, and the most brilliant deed was just taking the national examination ten years ago and getting No. 17 in the top armor. Although I have fought many battles with Gao Chu in the past ten years, they are all small battles, how can they compare with today?
At this moment, Xu Jiang was already sweating profusely, fighting with each other.

On the contrary, Qing Pi, who was guarding Xu Jiang's side, looked calm and composed. Seeing Liang Jun marching forward and all the troops coming out together, he turned his head and said to Xu Jiang: "Xu Canjun, Liang Jun is going to do his best!"

Xu Jiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hummed lightly.

Qingpi said again: "Liang Jun has already taken the bait, should we retreat?"

"No, it's not yet time." Although Xu Jiang was extremely nervous, his mind was not confused, and said, "If we retreat now, Liang Jun will immediately rise up. It will turn into a defeat, so at least we have to hold on for another half an hour, and wait for Liang Jun to get restless."

"This..." Qing Pi hesitated, "Should I ask the general?"

"No need to ask." Xu Jiang calmed down a little and said, "This is the general's military order!"

Qingpi didn't say anything more, turned around and yelled: "Command, the cavalry on the two wings run up, let me run up, protect the two wings of the formation, protect the two wings of the formation..."
