Destiny Only Han

Chapter 259 Longqi: Soldiers can be attacked halfway through!

On both sides of the Weishui River, the two opposing armies had battalions for tens of miles, mighty and mighty.

But if you look carefully, you will find a very interesting point.

On the east bank of the Weishui River, the Chu army, which claims to be 20, and the Qi army, which claims to be [-], form a coalition army. The number of military accounts is actually only a little more than the Han army on the opposite side...

Well, this is the usual public opinion war of the ancients.

A few thousand people are called tens of thousands, tens of thousands are called 20, and when they exceed 30, they are usually called [-] or [-]. When there are more troops, such as reaching a scale of more than [-], they will claim that they have hundreds of thousands of troops. Thousands of people, throwing whips to cut off the flow...

In the camp of the Chu army, Long Qie looked at Xiang it with contempt, with a foolish smile on his face.

The reason is very simple. Xiang it does not agree with the plan to directly fight the Han army, and advocates that Tian Guang call on all the Tian's children in Qi to launch an attack on the Han army. Caught in the vast ocean of people's war...

Those who subdue the soldiers without fighting are the good ones!

But Long Qi didn't think so. He finally had a chance to express himself this time. If Tian Guang was allowed to take the credit for defeating the Han army, then he would never have a chance to stand up in the Chu army. !
After all, he is not a child of the Xiang family like Xiang It, so he will naturally gain Xiang Yu's trust.

If you can't make great achievements in battle, it's not enough to regain your status as a general of the Chu army!

No matter what the price is, this battle must be fought!
Long Qie's mentality at this moment is actually very consistent with the thoughts of Cao Shen, Chai Wu and others before the start of the battle to destroy Qi.

This is an important reason why military nobles were suppressed after the Han and Tang Dynasties.

For the sake of their own merits, this group of guys are easy to provoke...

In the Han army barracks on the west bank of the Weishui River, the officer corps were actually running away.

Han Xin's tent of the Chinese army commander was full of generals and schools who came to ask for a battle.

Liu Ying didn't ask any questions, and directly dumped the blame in her heart to Cao Shen, who was standing aside with an old god.

This guy is the worst, if there is something he wants to do, he never takes the initiative to do it himself, but encourages others to go first, and he supports him with secret support...

And Han Xin, who had already made a comprehensive plan, was just like a repeater, repeating a sentence that his grandson once said in the past.

When guests come without water, don't welcome them in the water, and order them to hit them with half aid, which will benefit.

To put it simply, if the enemy crosses the river and comes to attack, don't fight in the river, but wait until part of the opponent's army successfully crosses the river before launching an attack.

But the gangsters in the army don’t care about that much. The previous march was too fast. Many of them just smelled the smell, and the lucky ones just drank a little soup. Not so far!

After a few days of pulling and pulling like this, Han Xin rode his horse around Weishui in the early morning of the third day, and returned to the camp with a smile on his face.

Immediately, drums and generals gathered.

Waking up by the sound of drums, Liu Ying walked into the handsome tent cursing, and what she saw was a group of muscular men with helmets and armour, gearing up.

Well, except Cao Shen who was full of doubts.

Both Liu Ying and Han Xin had a tacit understanding and did not explain to Cao Shen how to fight this battle, so Cao Shen still maintains the state of what the pangolin said that day.

At noon, the well-arranged Han army began to pull out their camps in an orderly manner and headed for Weishui Ferry.

And it was Cao Shen who was in charge of leading the former army until now.

Gradually, the army marched to the bank of Weishui. Unlike ordinary soldiers marching with their heads bowed, Cao Shen stood on the bank and watched carefully.

Today, compared to the previous days, the water level seems to have dropped even more. In many parts of the middle of the river, the bare riverbed can almost be seen.

But now, it is December in winter, the shallow and slow-flowing Weishui, a cold wind blows overnight, and most places have already frozen. There is no need for a ferry, and you can walk directly to the other side of the river.

So, Cao Shen and Zhao Jiangye Chaiwu and others who were standing with him looked at each other and smiled, feeling more confident in their hearts.

During the past few days, Han Xin hid all of them and ordered people to build a dam on the upper reaches of the Wei River to store the river water.

Now, just wait for their former army to return after a big defeat!
Yes, Han Xin's plan is very simple, that is to take the initiative to cross the river to attack, so that the Chu army can get a good opportunity to attack halfway.

Subsequently, the former army feigned defeat and led the Chu army into the dry and frozen river bed.

Finally, water was released upstream, so that the icy Weishui flooded all the Chu troops in the middle of the river.

At this moment, Liu Ying was riding his little pony, surrounded by Langzhong cavalry, and Chen Xi and others went to the upper reaches of Weishui River.

This battle is very important. Han Xin himself needs to sit in command and can't get away. Originally, this work should be done by Cao Shen, but since Liu Ying has actually supervised the army in the army, this is simple but the most critical The task naturally fell on him.

After a while, Guan Ying led the Langzhong cavalry to cross the river from the shallow water, and parted ways with Liu Ying and his party.

The task of the Langzhong cavalry is naturally to wait until the river floods the Chu army, and attack the panicked enemy from the flank.

In this battle, Han Xin did not intend to let Long Qie and Tian Guang continue to live.

On the bank of the Weishui River, Liu Ying was wrapped in a leather robe and crouched on the ground, waiting for the pigeon that descended from the sky to send the order to open the gate and release the water.

On the embankment in the distance, Xiao Lu led several engineers to check repeatedly, hoping that with an order, the wooden stakes that fixed the embankment could be pulled down with ropes.

The fight ahead is in full swing, but the oolong incident in which Dashui has been delayed must not happen to them.

In fact, in the view of Liu Ying, who knows a lot of historical allusions, building dams to store water is not difficult, nor is it difficult to lure the enemy into the dry river.

The most difficult thing is to grasp the extent of the former army's feigned defeat.

If the acting is fake, the other party will definitely not take the bait.

But if the acting is overdone, this kind of panic spreads, and it is easy to fake the show and cause the entire army to be defeated.

For example, the famous Battle of Feishui.

Only if the army retreated or not, Fu Jian's famous name will be ruined...

And on the main battlefield at this moment, Cao Shen was obviously fully prepared.

When the Han army began to cross the river, the Chu army who received the news began to gather, put on armor and distribute weapons.

Waiting for 5000 forwards of the Han army to wade through the mudflats and prepare to establish a beachhead, the Chu army, who had been recharging their energy for many days, rushed over unstoppably like a tiger descending a mountain.

Long Qi, who was eager for success, went directly to the place only a few tens of meters away from the front line of the two sides fighting, shouting loudly to boost morale.

The Han army, which was hard to beat with two fists and four hands, naturally began to retreat steadily.

And Long Qi was obviously not satisfied with just driving the Han army back to the other side of the river.

He wants more!
Therefore, relying on his prestige in the army for many years, Long Qi quickly replaced Xiang it and became the de facto supreme commander of this battle.

Under his order, the Qi-Chu Allied Forces arrayed on the east bank of Weishui began to move.

Their goal is to cross the Wei River and outflank the opposing Han army from both wings.

Although the strength of the two sides is almost the same, the Chu army has almost defeated the Han army on the frontal battlefield.

In this way, the collapsed Han army was not far from the collapse of the entire army when it was hit by the two wings of the Qi-Chu coalition forces.

In winter, the north wind whimpers and it is bitingly cold.

But at this moment, the Qi-Chu Allied Forces began to stride in the half-frozen mud, but felt their blood was throbbing, as if there was a raging fire in their hearts.

Make meritorious deeds and win titles by beheading.

After experiencing a world of great struggles where all bloody spirits must be contested, each of the seven surviving Warring States Heroes has a corresponding military merit system.

At that time, the Seven Kingdoms also had the county system and the monarchy system coexisting.

As for the fact that Qin State has been using a single county system since Shang Yang's reform, it is just a well-known Internet rumor.

As we all know, Shang Yang himself, who was the reformer of Shang Yang, actually had different titles such as Wei Yang and Gongsun Yang.

Shang Yang was a man of Wei, and after he was the royal family of the state of Wei, he was called Gongsun Yang when he was in the state of Wei, and he was called Wei Yang when he came to the state of Wei, which means the martingale from the state of Wei.

After all, he is not the clan of the Wei State, so he cannot be called Gongsun.

The so-called Shang Yang is the name after he was named Shang Jun during the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, Shang Yang himself is the emperor.

Naturally, the Qin State system designed by Shang Yang must have the existence of a state within a state.

Well, after Shang Yang was trapped in a cocoon and disgusted by the system he set up, he mobilized his fiefdom's army and tried to fight to the death...

But in the end the army was defeated and killed, that was another matter.

In fact, most of the formulation of the system of an emerging country is made by tinkering in the place where the previous dynasty fell to the street.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, so the coexistence of prefectures and counties and feudal monarchs became the prefecture-state system.

When the Qi-Chu coalition forces began to cross the river on the west bank of the Weishui River, Han Xin, who had no expression on his face but had expected the opponent to do so, pointed his long sword obliquely, and a banner slowly rose.

In a blink of an eye, the phalanx of heavy infantry equipped with super long guns slowly stepped forward after responding to the flag.

Their mission is to block the Qi-Chu coalition forces in the riverbed and prevent them from going ashore.

At the same time, a group of dusty pigeons were thrown into the air, and then flew south with flapping wings.

There is the upper reaches of the Weishui River, where the Han army built dams.

And on the battlefield where more than 10 people were fighting each other, no one noticed these pigeons piercing through the clouds.

Therefore, when the flood rolled down, accompanied by the cheers of the Han army, the Qi-Chu coalition army only hated their parents for not giving them two more legs, so that they could run away from the river bed quickly.

And this is not over yet, accompanied by the roaring and turbulent river, there is also the sound of horseshoes as dense as drums.

Lang Zhong cavalry!

Although the soldiers in the Qi-Chu coalition army have never fought against this army.

However, most of the soldiers of the Chu army have seen their own elite cavalry that traversed the world.

Now, the sense of oppression brought by the Han army in the distance far exceeds that of the Chu army!
