Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 55 Fan Yang Debater
In a blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

In the open space in front of the old camp, five thousand "Han troops" had already formed several distinct phalanxes!
The so-called Han army is of course not the real Han army, it's just the Chu army wearing the Han army uniform!

Speaking of which, there is actually no difference between the battle robes and armor styles of the Chu army and the Han army at this time. They all follow the legacy of the Qin army, but the colors are different. The Qin army uses black as the main tone, the Han army uses red as the main tone, and the Chu army uses red as the main tone. The main tone is yellow!Therefore, the Chu army only needs to dye the color of their battle robes red, and immediately becomes a "Han army".

The soldiers of the Chu army had no idea about the change of the color of their shirts.

Although the generals were very confused, since this was an order from the general, who would dare to question it?

Xiang Zhuang, holding a horizontal saber and wearing a bearskin cloak, accompanied by Wei Liao and Wu She, walked out of the gate of the great village slowly. Looking around, five thousand Chu troops were already waiting.

On the far left is Jingqian's trapped camp. The [-] soldiers who were trapped in the formation all wore iron shoulder armor, breastplate, plastron, back armor, leg armor and helmets. The first [-] soldiers all held large square shields in their left hands. The right hand holds the first sword, while the last five hundred soldiers carry small round shields on their left arms, and hold halberds in both hands. The five hundred long halberds stab straight into the void, standing like a forest.

On the right side of the soldiers in the formation, there are a thousand auxiliary light soldiers, each of whom only wears a Ge robe and carries a long sword.

In addition to the two bulging dry food bags crossed on the chest, a bundle of javelins was slung across the back of the auxiliary light soldiers. There were a total of five javelins, each weighing about eight catties (Han Jin). The pawns will also unload their armor and hand it to them to carry. At that time, these light soldiers will have to carry more than a hundred catties on a long-distance march, which is really miserable.

On the right side of the auxiliary light soldiers, there are [-] Xiandeng dead soldiers with their heads held high.

Go to the camp first, and then to the right, there are five hundred longbowmen from the Nufeng camp.

Although the five hundred longbowmen were all new recruits, they were the most powerful lineup in the entire lineup, because almost all of them were over seven feet five inches tall, and all of them were strong and strong. A longbow was slung across his shoulders, and besides the dry food bag, he also carried a quiver on his back, which contained a full twenty heavy arrows.

On the right side of Nufeng camp, there are Ji Bu's central army, Huanchu's front army, Xiao Kai's rear army, and Yu Ziqi's right army, but Zhonglimei's left army is not among them.

Xiang Zhuang walked slowly in front of the queue without hurrying, and the soldiers of the Chu army cast their fiery gazes on him. After a full ten days of rest, the strength and energy of the soldiers of the Chu army had fully recovered, and there were no more remnants of defeated soldiers. The exhausted appearance, just like a group of screaming tigers and wolves!
After Kankan finished her inspection, Qin Ji had already led the female soldiers to bring the mounts of Xiang Zhuang, Wei Liao and Wu She over.

There were not many horses in the Chu army. Except for the horses of Wuzhao and Wei Liao and Wu She, the rest of the dozens of horses were all killed by Xiang Zhuang. Now they have been smoked into bacon and put into the dry food bags of the soldiers of the Chu army. Yes, long-distance marches and continuous battles. If you only eat dry food, you will definitely not be able to sustain it. You must supplement the soldiers with some meat.

Xiang Zhuang got on his horse, raised his right hand and pressed it forward lightly, then kicked his horse and walked away.

In an instant, the low and desolate sound of the bull's horn soared into the sky, and the mountains echoed, spreading further and further away.

Wei Liao and Wu She got on their horses one after another and urged their horses to keep up with Xiang Zhuang. Behind them, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Xiao Kai, Yu Ziqi, Jing Qian, Gao Chu, and Gongsun each led their troops to set off one after another. In half an hour, the five thousand Chu troops had completely disappeared into the vast mountains to the west...

Zhongli Mo sighed softly until he could no longer see a figure of Chu Jun.

They're all gone, the general, military adviser, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Yu Ziqi, Mr. Wu She, they're all gone!
Turning around and looking back, more than 500 of his plays, women, and children were pouring out of Dazhai. On the wooden building in the center of the village, Mrs. Yu could faintly be seen.

Zhong Limo really couldn't understand why the general didn't take Madam Yu away?
Long-distance marches and successive battles are certainly dangerous, but is it safe to stay here?

Once the general succeeds in attacking Ao Cang and cuts off the coalition's food supply, with Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's abilities, it is impossible not to know that they have been tricked by the Chu army to get rid of their shells. I'm afraid he will send elites to the mountain again, when the time comes, how will Zhong Limo protect the women and children in the village?
Just relying on his own more than 500 pieces?Zhong Li couldn't help feeling sad.

Although most of these more than 500 pieces are veterans, they are either missing an arm or a leg, or they are blind. It is more than enough to teach half-grown children to dance swords and sticks, but it is difficult for them to carry swords and halberds to fight with the Han army.

In Ruyin, an unexpected guest suddenly came to the big tent of Hengshan King Wu Rui.

Wu Rui, King of Hengshan, is a descendant of King Wu. After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched a riot in Daze Township, Wu Rui also took the opportunity to rebel against Qin in Hengshan County, and finally assisted Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's rebellious army to destroy the Great Qin Empire. The feudal princes were divided, and Wu Rui was named King of Hengshan, one of the eighteen anti-kings.

Chu and Han fought against each other for five years. Xiang Yu made a series of wrong decisions because of his lack of political acumen. The princes and kings from all walks of life rebelled against Chu and returned to Han. Wu Rui also defected during this period. The princes from all walks of life came to help in the battle, and Wu Rui mobilized [-] elite soldiers from Hengshan to come to Gaixia to help.

Soon Xiang Yu was defeated and died, but Xiang Zhuang was born again!
With only a few thousand remnants of soldiers, Xiangzhuang managed to kill the King of Han so that he dared not enter the mountain. It is unbelievable to say it!

Up to now, the [-] Hengshan army has been standing in Ruyin for half a month, but they don't know when they will be able to return to the country after the siege?
When Wu Ruizheng and his confidant general Mei Yan were drinking in the big tent to relieve boredom, a soldier came in and reported: "Your Majesty, a scholar who calls himself Fan Yang Kuaiche is asking to see him."

"Kai Che?" Wu Rui asked in amazement, "What is he here for?"

Mei Yan frowned, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, I heard that Kuai Che has frequently entered and exited the tents of various princes and kings recently, and often said bad things about the King of Han behind his back. This matter has already made the King of Han very unhappy. Sooner or later, the King of Han will If you want to deal with him, it's better for the king not to have any contact with him."

"Hey, it's okay to meet you." Wu Rui waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "Besides, he is a scholar with status after all. If he comes to visit late at night, you won't even see him. After all, it's rude, isn't it?" After all, Wu Rui He also ordered his soldiers to invite Kuai Che to come in. When Mei Yan wanted to avoid it, Wu Rui stopped him.

Soon, the soldiers brought Kuai Che into the tent.

Kuai Che first gave Wu Rui a long bow, and said loudly: "See you, Your Majesty!"

"Sir, there is no need to be too polite." Wu Ruisu said with his hands, "Please take a seat."

Kuai Che turned around, bowed to Mei Yan again, and then knelt and sat down on the lower right of Wu Rui. His own soldiers had already brought the table, and there was a plate of cooked beef and a pot of soup on the table. , and a can of hot water wine.

Kuai Che didn't even look at the wine and meat, but said indifferently: "Your Majesty, do you know that the Hengshan Kingdom is already in danger?"

Mei Yan immediately frowned and said, "Pretending to be astonishing!"

But Wu Rui said indifferently: "How do you say that, sir?"

Kuai Che shook his sleeves and said calmly: "The king of Han personally led more than [-] troops from all walks of life to garrison Ruyin. Feng, in this way, the Dabie Mountains, where the remnants of the Chu army are entrenched, will be encircled from the north, east, and south, and the remnants of the Chu army will be defeated, and they will surely collapse to the west!"

Wu Rui's complexion changed slightly when he heard the words, his Hengshan Kingdom is located westward from the Dabie Mountains!

But Mei Yan jumped up against the case and said angrily: "It's nonsense, the Dabie Mountains are high and densely forested, there are few people, and snakes and insects are rampant. Let alone three to five thousand remnants, even tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops entering it, I am afraid that there will be deaths. There is no birth, there is no return, so what danger can our Hengshan country have?"

Kuai Che said indifferently: "General Mei Yan, don't forget that it is early spring and the weather is cold. Where are the snakes and insects?"

Mei Yan said: "Even if there are no snakes and insects, there is still endless mist in the mountains. If the Chu army really dares to enter the mountains, they will definitely get lost in the ubiquitous mist in the end!"

Kuai Che waved his hand, and said again: "It's only the first ten days of April now, and it will take at least half a month before the land of Huaisi will truly enter the rainy season. Without continuous rain, how can there be endless fog in the mountains?"

"Uh, this..." Mei Yan was speechless for a moment, he was naturally far better than Kuai Che in terms of leading troops to fight, but in terms of debate skills, how could he be the opponent of Fan Yang's debater?
After a long while, Wu Rui said: "Sir, will the remnants of the Chu army really cross Dabie Mountain?"

"Nine times out of ten!" Kuai Che said calmly, "If the Chu army doesn't want to starve to death in the mountains, they can only climb over Dabie Mountain, and then enter Hengshan to burn, kill and loot." After saying this, Kuai Che got up and bowed again, If Your Majesty does not want the Hengshan Kingdom to be destroyed by the flames of war, it is best to lead the troops back to the country as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be too late to regret."

"This..." Wu Rui suddenly fell into a struggle.

Originally, Wu Rui already wanted to return to the country, but now that Kuai Che said so, he was even more eager to return, but how should he mention this matter to the King of Han?
"Haha, that's all I'm going to say. Whether you listen or not, it's all up to the king." Kuai Che laughed twice, turned around and walked away. #################################################### #########PS: Thanks: Zongheng XX, Jade Blood Sword 1, I am Rogue, Yongye Aurora, Jiangning Feixue, joseph512, Gangduo, lan904849990, dhhha, 1314 cordial, Lonely Leaf , Fan Xuanzi, maomaomao365, Pure Love Little Pig, Sea Origin, Edge Hunter 01, Story of the Starry Sky, Xiao Xiao Feng Yuyue, Toilet Place﹫POSE, vs, Qijiajun, Xiaoshi LL, wmwmwmw, sshukuang&shangs , Puzi, ★Xiaoyaoromantic★, R~~~~~, Qin Yu Qin Yu, The Last Love Is Hands Let Go, The Smoke Ends, Yu Shengzhi, sdlkcdj, and other book friends generously rewarded them.
