Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 37 Zhang Liang's Counterattack

Liu Bang was pacing back and forth in the big tent, while Zhang Liang and Chen Ping were kneeling on the mat. Although Liu Bang looked a little anxious, the expressions on Zhang and Chen's faces were as calm as ever.

The soldiers of the Nine Routes were waiting in formation, and Xia Houying and Li Shang had already set off quietly with [-] elite soldiers each.

These ten thousand elites are all one-in-a-million military athletes. Not only are they tall and strong, but they are all veterans who have experienced many battles. What's more, they all imitated the Chu army and carried individual rations, a cloth bag full. The dry food is enough to ensure that they don't need to cook for seven days!
With dry food, there will be no burden of mules and carts, and the Han army can finally cross the mountains and ridges to launch a surprise attack on the Chu army. This is Zhang Liang's counterattack, and he will use his own way to attack him!

The hiding place of the Chu army has also been found. After discovering the secret of the gathering of soldiers by the beacon fire, the approximate area where the Chu army will gather is basically determined.
Qing Pi was just a nickname, but his real name was never revealed to anyone, even Zhang Liang didn't know it.

Qingpi is skilled in martial arts and is good at wielding a 120-jin hammer. He once followed Zhang Liang to assassinate the King of Qin in Bosha, Gulang, but unfortunately failed. However, assassination is not actually Qingpi's director.And this time, Qingpi also did not disappoint Zhang Liang, and soon, he spied on the exact whereabouts of the Chu army.

Now, the situation has been completely reversed, the Han army is in the dark, and the Chu army is in the clear!

Liu Bang, who was pacing back and forth, suddenly stopped, then fisted and clapped his hands, and said in a hateful voice: "I really want to see how the Chu army will behave when it is attacked by our army at night?"

Chen Pingdao: "No matter what kind of army it is, it should behave the same when it is attacked by surprise."

But Zhang Liang waved his hand and said calmly: "Your Majesty, don't be too anxious. Now the whereabouts of the Chu army are all under our army's control. Therefore, even if this surprise attack cannot seriously damage the Chu army, there is still a chance in the future. After all, the Chu army It’s no different than our army, which was wounded six times but only scratched the surface, but what about the Chu army? As long as it is defeated, it will collapse!”

"It's best to capture Xiang Zhuang alive." Liu Bang nodded, and said in a bitter voice, "I want to cut off his head and gouge out his heart with my own hands, and sacrifice Fan Kuai, Chunyu Hu, and Yin Fu to the spirits in heaven!"

"Xiangzhuang boy, die!"

A figure like an iron tower suddenly appeared in front of Xiang Zhuang, and immediately a gleaming long knife slashed towards his neck like lightning. He couldn't move at all because of the lead, and he could only watch helplessly as the long knife cut towards his neck.

Just when Xiang Zhuang thought he was going to die, he suddenly woke up, and it turned out to be Nan Keyi Meng.

"Huh." Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, thinking how damn good it is to be alive.

Just now he just wanted to take a nap to relieve his sleepiness, but unexpectedly fell asleep, and had such an extremely ominous nightmare, which scared him into a cold sweat, and now his whole back is still shivering.

Looking up at the sky, it was already late at night, and the whole army would be on the move in a while.

But for some reason, Xiang Zhuang always felt a little uneasy in his heart, maybe it was because of the nightmare just now, maybe it was because of his sixth sense, anyway, he felt that something was wrong with today's situation, very wrong.

##########
In fact, Xia Houying's five thousand elite soldiers were quietly approaching in the nearby dense forest.

The light in the woods was very dim, although it wasn't considered as invisible, but it was not too bad. Fortunately, this forest was a big pine forest, and there was thick pine hair on the ground, so it didn't matter if you fell down, and No sound will be made.

Looking out from the dense forest, you can even see a faint bonfire, which must be the campfire of the Chu army!
In an instant, the corner of Xia Houying's mouth showed a ferocious murderous intent. These sad southern barbarians are all dying, so they are probably still thinking about how to sneak attack the Han army outside the mountain pass?

It's a pity that they have no chance, and they will never have another chance!
When Xia Houying was imagining the scene of killing the Chu army, suddenly a few owl hoots came from the scout team exploring the way ahead, Xia Houying quickly raised his right hand, and the five thousand elite soldiers who were slowly following behind him stopped one by one down.

When Xia Houying came to the front again, he saw that the scout team was shrinking behind a fallen tree.

Qing Pi, who was sent by Zhang Liang to lead the way, greeted him immediately, and said in a low voice, "General, there are scouts from the Chu army ahead!"

Xia Houying looked in the direction of Qingpi's finger, and sure enough, she saw a big rock in the middle of the open space in front of her, with two blurred figures on it, one standing still, and the other walking back and forth, because the stone was surrounded by people. It was very empty, and the moon was shining, so it was discovered by the Chu army scouts.

Seeing this situation, Xia Houying also scratched his head a little. Because the terrain in front is too open, it is basically impossible to get close to sneak attack. If you use archers to hunt and kill, it is difficult to ensure that the two of them will be shot together!

Xia Houying himself was not sure, and immediately led the scout team: "Go and call Lou Fan!"

The scouts led the way, and soon came to Xia Houying with a grown-up barbarian. This barbarian was Lou Fan. Lou Fan was actually the name of a barbarian tribe. This barbarian was obviously Lou Fan. It's just that the soldiers of the Han army didn't know his name, so they simply called him Lou Fan.

Xia Houying didn't speak, but pointed to the two figures in the open space ahead.

Lou Fan nodded coldly, then unrolled the strong bow and put a heavy spiked arrow thick as a thumb on the string. Amidst the rattling sound of the bow arm being tensed, the strong bow was quickly drawn into a full moon shape, a certain For a moment, the two black shadows on the open space happened to overlap, and Lou Fan's slightly squinted eyes suddenly opened, revealing their brilliance, and immediately let go of the bowstring.

Hearing a buzzing sound, the two black shadows in front fell down in response, killing two people with one arrow!
"Okay!" Xia Houying couldn't help applauding, but he was too happy too soon!
As soon as the voice fell, a low-pitched horn sound suddenly sounded in the dense forest ahead. Under the silent night sky, the low-pitched and desolate horn sound was extremely harsh and embarrassing!
"Damn it!" Xia Houying knew that the signs had been exposed, and that the Han army could no longer approach silently, but the distance between the two sides was close enough, so what if the Chu army took precautions?There are two groups of elite soldiers on the left and right, a total of [-] troops, can't they destroy the three or four thousand remnants of the Chu army?At that moment Xia Houying yelled sharply, "Light up the torch and kill!"

##########
Just when Xiang Zhuang was in a state of restlessness, the sound of a desolate trumpet suddenly sounded from the dense forest to the left!
Xiang Zhuang was taken aback. Originally, the scouts were set up in the dense forests on both sides of the canyon just in case, but he didn't expect that it would actually work! ?

What surprised Xiang Zhuang in particular was that the Han army didn't take the mountain pass road, but ran over mountains and ridges to sneak attack!

What does this mean?This shows that Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping have fully understood the tactics of the Chu army, and now, they are going to use their own methods to return them!
As expected of Chen Ping!
As expected of Zhang Liang! !

As expected of Liu Bang! ! !
At that moment Xiang Zhuang suddenly stood up, drew out his horizontal knife again, and shouted sharply: "Assemble, assemble urgently!"

Since the rare soldiers of the Han army were found in the dense forest on the left, there must also be in the dense forest on the right. With Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's sophistication, how could it be possible to ignore their heads?How could it be possible to make such a low-level mistake?
Therefore, if you divide your troops and drill into the woods on the right, you will be courting death!
For the present plan, the only way is to concentrate our forces to break through in the direction of the mountain pass. No matter how many elite soldiers there are in front, just defeat them, and don't care how many people there are, just kill them all!
In the blink of an eye, Xiang Zhuang had already made a decision!
No matter whether this decision is right or wrong, at least you can't hesitate at this time!
The soldiers of the Chu army who were sitting on the ground got up one after another and began to line up nervously.

Almost at the same time, countless torches suddenly lit up from the dense forest on the left. In the bright light, countless soldiers of the Han army were waving their gleaming swords and rushing down like a tide.

Facing the sudden rush of the Han army, the soldiers of the Chu army couldn't help but riot.

"Roar..." Xiang Zhuang roared suddenly, his beard and hair all stretched out like an angry lion.

This loud and suffocating roar was like the wolf king's long howl, and it shocked the commotion of wolves at once!
After a little bit of attracting the attention of the generals of the Chu army, Xiang Zhuang raised his horizontal knife again, pointing the tip of the knife at the mountain pass in front of him, and shouted solemnly: "Everyone, don't panic, follow me to kill!"

"Get out!" Gao Chu slammed his sword at the shield and roared to the sky.

"Get out!" Jing Qian punched his chest and howled to the sky.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Behind the two, five hundred soldiers howled in response!

In an instant, more than 4000 Chu troops roared like a mountain roar and a tsunami. Xiang Zhuang drew his sword forward again, and the more than 4000 Chu troops rushed towards the mountain pass ahead like a flood that broke the dike. Flocking down in the dense forest, but so what?You go your way, we go ours, the road is open to the sky, each side goes!
##########
Seeing that the remnants of the Chu army in the valley were not chaotic or disintegrated, but even responded quickly, trying to break out of the encirclement from the mountain pass in front, Xia Houying couldn't help being shocked. Is this really a broken army that escaped from the Gaixia battlefield?Such calmness, such calmness, is simply the elite of the elite, how can they look like they are in the slightest defeat?

No wonder the Chu army was able to defeat Fan Kui first and then Li Zuoche!

No wonder the Chu army was able to defeat six Han armies in succession before, beheading [-] ranks!

However, no matter how calm and brave the Chu army is, they will still be defeated tonight!

All of a sudden, Xia Houying's mouth had a ferocious murderous intent, and his feet suddenly started to accelerate.

##########
Five thousand Han troops swarmed down from the dense forest on the left, while more than 4000 Chu troops swept forward along the canyon.

Seeing that the two armies of Chu and Han were about to pass each other, the sound of desolate trumpets suddenly sounded in the dense forest in front right!
Although Xiang Zhuang was mentally prepared and never had illusions about Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping, he still felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave when the horn sounded in the dense forest on the right.

Two-sided attack, it really is two-sided attack!

Outside the mountain pass in front, there must be Han troops blocking it!

Even though he was very careful, he still fell into Zhang Liang's plot if he didn't want to!

Zhang Liang, as expected of Zhang Liang, if you don't make a move, you'll be killed if you make a move!
Xiang Zhuang raised his sword and ran, forcing himself to calm down quickly. At this moment, the life and death of the Chu army depended on his thoughts. If he made a wrong step, the whole army would be defeated immediately! ####################################################PS : Thank you for the ten thousand rewards, and congratulations for becoming the first elder in "Chu-Han Struggle for the Ding Ding"!Thank you, Biting Cold, ♂Gentle Killer♀, Yeluoruthless, maomaomao365, Innocent Little Pig, Xiutianzi, 1314 Kindness, ★Happy Romance★, and other book friends for their generous rewards, thank you very much.
