Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1933: Supporting the new emperor, a decisive battle

"General Zhang, I believe that His Majesty has other instructions for asking you to lead the third prince to the Zhushan camp!" Yang Su looked at Zhang Churang meaningfully and said.

Especially when he mentioned the third prince, he deliberately lowered his voice.

Zhang Churang might not be a talented person and could not become a pillar of society like Yang Su. However, Yang Su knew that while he was brave and invincible, he also had a smooth side.

Although they are just some clever tricks, I believe they can understand his hints.

Zhang Churang, who understood Yang Su's hint, fell into a struggle at this time.

However, when he looked at his eldest son Zhang Guiba beside him, he finally compromised! Of his three sons, the other two had already died at the hands of the Han army, and he couldn't send his eldest son into danger.

"Your Majesty has said that if things cannot be done, you can support the third prince as the new emperor!"

While speaking, Zhang Churang even took out an imperial edict that he had been hiding from his robe and embroidered it on his clothes.

"what!"

All the generals were horrified at this time!

However, that imperial edict could not be faked, it was indeed an imperial edict passing the throne to the third prince.

At this time, Zhang Churang could only sigh in his heart.

Huangfu Guhan did give him such an imperial edict when he asked him to escort the third prince away. But the premise of all this is that Lin'an City was broken and the emperor and the prince were all killed for the country, and then he could take out this imperial edict. Only at that time would this imperial edict be effective.

But now, Zhang Churang changed the precondition to that nothing can be done, and took out the imperial edict in advance. The meaning of this is completely different.

The Third Prince of Dongcang, this can only be said to be a helpless choice of Huangfu Guhan, a choice just in case. If Yang Su's reinforcements did not arrive in time, we can't let them wipe out everything at once, right?

Although the Third Prince was not the most ideal heir in his mind, it was impossible to release the Crown Prince at this time. Once the news got out, the morale in Lin'an City would collapse immediately, and there would be no hope at all!
In this way, the Third Prince became the lucky one! The Third Prince, who originally had little presence, was regarded by Huangfu Guhan as the hope of Dongcang, and was asked to take on the important task of raising the banner of Dongcang.

But Huangfu Guhan would never have thought that his preparations for any eventuality would eventually become the best reason for Yang Su to give up on him. At the same time, it also became a stepping stone for many generals.

With such an imperial decree, Yang Su quickly convinced most people present to protect the third prince, the last hope of Dongcang. After they arrived in Qingnan, if His Majesty really had any accidents, they would support the new emperor and continue to fight against the rebellious Han.

Although there were a small number of Huangfu Guhan's die-hard followers, such as veteran general Li Zeyu, Yang Su simply gave them 5,000 cavalry and gave them the task of meeting the emperor!
After all, the generals still hoped that His Majesty could arrive in Qingnan safely. The so-called support for the new emperor was only for the situation that His Majesty was no longer around. As long as His Majesty was still around, he would always be their Majesty.

And next, Yang Su still has a lot of things to do!

Now is the best time for them to leave!
Han Xin wanted to let them go and let them split their forces and return to Lin'an, but Yang Su wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to withdraw his troops and move to Qingnan as soon as possible.

At the same time, the Liejing Corps, one of the enemy's five major legions, and the Tianhe Navy are now roaming in the waters of Hebei and Hedong, while the Yanbei Navy is roaming in the waters of Qingbei.

However, most of the Yanbei Navy's troops have now landed at the source of the river, preparing to block the area south of the plain.

There are only a few thousand soldiers left on the river!

Yang Su was prepared to sacrifice a part of his troops and use the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain to ensure that most of the troops could cross the river smoothly and move from Qingbei to Qingnan.

Therefore, he didn't have much time. Once the Yanbei Navy took over the source of the river, they would certainly re-strengthen their forces in the river. At that time, if he wanted to cross the river, he would have to pay a greater price.

Given Yang Su's character, once he made a decision, he would naturally act decisively.

On the Zhushan front, he left 20,000 troops, pretending to be 50,000 troops, to confuse Han Xin and buy time for his evacuation.

Afterwards, Yang Su led the remaining troops and pretended to head eastward towards Lin'an, but halfway through, he turned south and marched at full speed.

Afterwards, he dispatched another 15,000 troops, pretending to attack the source of the Pearl River from the direction of the river, in order to divert the attention of the Yanbei Navy on the river. In fact, the main force marched non-stop southward, preparing to cross the river as soon as possible.

Yang Su's movements were fast enough, but Han Xin still saw through his flaws.

Han Xin's initial preparations were indeed based on ensuring the overall victory of the Han Dynasty. Not only did he want to annihilate the enemy, but he also wanted to take the credit for destroying the country.

Therefore, this deliberately gave Yang Su the opportunity to lead his troops away.

Just as Yang Su thought, if he, Yang Su, was not there and the front-line troops were reduced by half, Han Xin would be able to break through Zhushan in a short time.

And Yang Su did exactly what he thought, and he left in the end. After all, even Han Xin couldn't give up his emperor. He didn't expect Yang Su to do this.

Han Xin only tentatively attacked the Zhushan defense line again a few days after Yang Su, in preparation for the general offensive in the next few days.

But it was this test that made Han Xin realize that the number of troops in the Zhushan camp was wrong.

At this time, Han Xin still had not thought that Yang Su would actually abandon his emperor. He still thought that Yang Su was prepared to give up Zhushan completely in order to mobilize enough troops to defeat Meng Tian.

Therefore, Han Xin could not wait any longer. Meng Tian, ​​Yang Yanzhao or Han Xin, they all wanted to plan the credit of destroying the country, but all this was based on the premise of the victory of the Han Dynasty.

Han Xin knew Meng Tian's ability, and that he was not necessarily inferior to Yang Su. If they really fought head-on, even if Yang Su had slightly more troops, he would not lose in a short time.

But the problem is, if he were Yang Su, he would definitely use the same method to confuse Meng Tian, ​​making Meng Tian think that they had only returned 50,000 troops. When the real fight started, suddenly tens of thousands of more troops appeared on the side, which would be enough to instantly affect the final outcome of the battle.

Han Xin was confident that he could break through the Zhushan defense line, not to mention that the current Zhushan defense line was much smaller than he expected. In just two days, Han Xin led 100,000 troops to completely break through the obstacles, killing 10,000 enemies and capturing 10,000 enemies. When interrogating the captured generals, Han Xin found that he had underestimated Yang Su again. This guy actually gave up his emperor!
However, now is not the time to think so much. So many days have passed. If the other party was riding in a troop carrier, I am afraid they would have already crossed the river and entered Qingnan.

However, Han Xin, who refused to give up, still ordered the 10,000-strong Feiyu Corps, which was temporarily under his command, to pursue the enemy with all their might. He even led the Feiyu Corps personally in the pursuit.

Of the 50,000 Feiyu Corps, 20,000 were under Han Xin's command at this time. The reason why Han Xin only used 10,000 instead of 20,000 for this pursuit was to ensure speed.

Each soldier in the Feiyu Corps had two horses, and Han Xin's pursuit this time allowed the other ten thousand men to temporarily transfer their spare horses to these ten thousand men, so that these ten thousand men had three horses each, and they continued the pursuit without stopping.

It's not that Han Xin really won't give up until he sees the Yellow River, but after analysis, he judged that there is still a possibility of catching up with Yang Su as long as he is fast enough.

In terms of time, if they were riding in a troop transport vehicle, it would definitely be enough for the enemy to reach the north of the river and then cross the river.

However, crossing the river requires boats! Han Xin can guarantee that the enemy is in such a hurry that they can only mobilize a limited number of boats in a short time.

After all, Han Xin had seen that most of the food and supplies in the military camp had been moved away. The main force, plus the food and supplies, could only cross the river in batches if there were not enough boats.

Logically speaking, it would be a burden to bring these things when escaping. However, what can we do? Dongcang is poor at this time! We should bring as much as possible! Otherwise, even if we reach Qingnan, we will not be able to stabilize.

Crossing the river in batches with a large number of troops, food and supplies is not as convenient as having troop transport vehicles, and it will definitely take a lot of time.

Therefore, he still has a chance to catch Yang Su's tail!

At the same time, he sent someone to urgently send a message to the Yanbei Navy as soon as he was chasing, asking them to control the river at all costs and to intercept Yang Su north of the river.

Although he didn't know why the Yanbei Navy, which was supposed to leave part of its troops to control the river, had gone away at this time, he could guess that it was probably another trap set by Yang Su to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

No matter what kind of bait Yang Su left at this time in order to divert this part of the troops, it was not important to Han Xin. The most important thing was to keep Yang Su's main force.

Han Xin was lucky. Under his full pursuit, although 40,000 of Yang Su's 60,000 troops had successfully crossed the river, and all the food and supplies had been successfully transported to the other side of the river, there were still 20,000 troops who had not had time to cross the river.

In order to pursue the enemy with all his strength and ensure the speed of pursuit, Han Xin just hurried along the way without any cover. Therefore, when his troops were about to approach, the scouts sent out by Yang Su also discovered Han Xin's trace.

No one expected that Han Xin would come so quickly. However, at this time, the previous batch of ships had just left. At this moment, the 20,000 people were in a state of despair.

At this time, Yang Su could only arrange his troops to form a defensive formation. He could only pray that Han Xin, who had come from afar, would not attack immediately due to exhaustion. As long as he waited for the boats that crossed the river to return, he could at most abandon some of his troops to stop Han Xin. Every soldier saved was a good thing.

What gave Yang Su a headache was that after Han Xin caught up with them, he didn't even let his troops rest for a moment, but directly launched a general attack.

Han Xin's troops pursued them day and night. Even though there were only three horses on each side, the soldiers were still exhausted and their fighting power was not at its peak!
However, the enemy was now on the run, and when they were caught up, they were panicked and their morale was definitely not at its peak. Moreover, the enemy had less than 20,000 soldiers and horses that had not crossed the river, and most of them were infantry, with only about 1,000 or 2,000 cavalry.

Therefore, after thinking it over, Han Xin launched a general attack without any rest. Even if the losses were greater, he was unwilling to give Yang Su any more chances.

At the same time, he also had some soldiers tie branches to the horses' tails to stir up smoke and dust, creating the illusion of more troops and further undermining the enemy's morale.

"damn it!"

"This Han Chongyan is really troublesome!" Looking at the countless cavalrymen rushing along the way like a torrent, Yang Su's heart sank.

Countless clouds of dust rose up, making the cavalry torrent seem endless and overwhelming, making it impossible to tell how many people there were.

"I heard that Han Zhongyan once fought a desperate battle in Hebei, and defeated Huangfu Wugui with a weak force!"

"Today, this general can only imitate Han Chongyan!" Yang Su sighed helplessly in his heart.

If he had not been forced to this point, he would rather never have the opportunity to emulate Han Xin's fight.

The more powerful the military strategist is, the more he knows the risks of doing so! Moreover, Han Xin fought a desperate battle and deployed troops in advance to steal the opponent's lair, but Yang Su fought a naked "fight with his back to the water", which is completely different.

"My lords, today, our army has no way out!"

"If you want to survive, you have to defeat Han Xin!"

"Today, I will personally charge in front. If I die in battle, I will die before you all!"

"In order to stay alive, I swear to kill Han Xin!"

Yang Su drew his sword, and when he said the last sentence, he almost roared.

"In order to stay alive, I swear to kill Han Xin!"

"In order to stay alive, I swear to kill Han Xin!"

"In order to stay alive, I swear to kill Han Xin!"

Scattered roars sounded one after another, until finally, they gathered into a thunderous sound that seemed to overturn the sky.

To be alive, these two simple words, however, at this moment, have become the biggest motivation for these 20,000 people to fight, the motivation for them to fight to the death.

"Ding, Yang Su's Jingwu skill effect 2 is activated, Wu Bing, "Fear me and insult the enemy, fear the enemy and insult me, those who insult will lose, those who establish prestige will win. Yang Su is good at gathering the morale of his soldiers, making them only fear Yang Su in a short period of time, charging into battle and risking their lives!" The effect of this skill is limited to the soldiers under his command."

"Ding, Yang Su..."
