Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 168
"Uncle! Uncle! Why did you leave like this? Why did you leave like this? Uncle——!"

"My little nephew is unfilial! My little nephew is unfilial! My little nephew was one step too late and didn't come to rescue you in time! My little nephew is unfilial!"

Kneeling in the wind and rain, Xiang Kang, who was so emotionally agitated, ignored the muddy mud all over the ground, desperately bowed his head in the direction of Xiang Liang's martyrdom, and cried bitterly, until the color of the world changed and the Great Wall burst, and he ignored Zhou Zeng, Chen Pinghe No matter how persuasive Li Shiqi and others tried to persuade him, it was useless.In contrast, although Xiang Guan, who is also a child of the Xiang family, also cried into tears, his appearance is definitely not as good as Xiang Kang's sincerity, which makes people cry, making people feel that he is not as filial as Xiang Kang.

Even Shusuntong, the number one scum of Confucianism in the late Qin era, cried more emotionally than Xiang Guan. With the support of several disciples, Mr. Shusuntong completely forgot the contempt and humiliation he had received in front of Xiang Liang, and cried loudly. Almost fainting, he cried bitterly and screamed, "General! You are the pillar of the Chu Kingdom, the pillar of the country! Without you, what do you want us to do? What do you want us to do?!"

"General Right! Don't rush to be sad! The military situation is like a fire, and the Tyrant Qin army may send troops to kill at any time. At this time, we should give priority to dealing with the strong enemy! Otherwise, we will not even have a chance to avenge the general!"

In the end, Uncle Zhou, who personally interrogated Dong Yi's messenger, came over and yelled, which made Xiang Kang calm down a little.Seeing that Xiang Kang's crying stopped for a while, and he raised his ugly face covered with sewage to look at Uncle Zhou, Zhou Zeng and Chen Ping took the opportunity to agree with each other: "General You, what General Zhou said makes sense, we can't be in a hurry at this time Sad, we must first deal with the Tyrant Qin army who wanted to trick us into Dingtao and fall into the trap, first solve the immediate difficulties, and then we can hope to avenge the general!"

Xiang Kang's greatest strength is that he can listen to advice, and this time it is the same. Although he was deeply saddened, Xiang Kang pulled himself together, barely held back his tears, stood up with the support of Zhou Zeng and Chen Ping, and let Bo Yuan Zhi wiped the sewage and tears from his face, and said with tears in his eyes, "Has the Tyrant Qin army in Dingtao figured out the situation? How many enemies are there, and are we sure we can deal with them?"

"Forgive me, General You, but I haven't figured it out yet." Chao Zhi replied, "Baoqin's army is too tightly blocked, and it is difficult for our scouts to enter within ten miles of Dingtao, so our scouts haven't caught the enemy yet. The specific circumstances of the case have been investigated clearly.”

"If Dong Yi's traitor, our main force, is not lying, Dingtao's Tyrant Qin army should be 4 to [-], and there are still an unknown number of Tyrant Qin guards in Dingtao City." Uncle Zhou took the conversation and said: "This number is what I asked from that traitor just now."

"So many?" Xiang Kang frowned, and said, "If there were really so many Tyrant Qin troops on the Dingtao battlefield, we wouldn't be sure to defeat the enemy in one battle."

"General You, the last general thinks that we can no longer take the risk of going eastward." Chao Zhi said: "Baoqin's army designed to lure us to go eastward at full speed, which proves that they must have made complete preparations in Dingtao. Duojishao, for the sake of our army, it is best for us to withdraw our troops and return to Wanqu as soon as possible, and then go south from Wanqu to Feng County, and return to Pengcheng via Suiyang, so as to avoid being surrounded by the Tyrant Qin army."

The withdrawal route proposed by Chao Zhi is undoubtedly the safest and most secure route for the Young Marshal. Xiang Kang had already thought of this withdrawal route when he was crying bitterly before, so Xiang Kang also Without hesitation, he nodded immediately.But before Xiang Kang could make up his mind, Uncle Zhou objected: "General You, I'm afraid this road will no longer work. If the general guessed correctly, the Tyrant Qin army may have crossed from the north bank of Jishui to Wanwan." Qu, the current government has cut off our retreat to Feng County."

"How do you know? We didn't find such a situation on the road?" Xiang Kang asked doubtfully.

"The last general interrogated the fake messenger carefully just now, and besides asking about the general strength of the Tyrant Qin army, he also asked about an important piece of information." Uncle Zhou replied: "On the afternoon of the day before yesterday, the Tyrant Qin army suddenly split a The army crossed Jishui to the north and left the battlefield of Dingtao. Although the false messenger did not know where the Tyrant Qin army went, the final general boldly speculated that the Tyrant Qin army probably discovered that we were approaching Dingtao, in order to cut off our We divided our troops to take the small road on the north bank of Jishui River and crossed to Wanqu to cut off our retreat, and we were also prepared to encircle us with the Tyrant's pursuers. So when we turned around Wanqu, we might fall into the trap of the Typhoon army. .”

"So, don't we have nowhere to go?" Xiang Kang gasped.

"General You, don't worry, we still have a chance." Chao Zhi hurriedly said: "The Tyrant Qin army is still standing still in Dingtao at this time, as long as we turn around immediately and move forward at a faster speed, it is entirely possible to catch up with the Tyrant Qin army. Hurry back to Wanqu before catching up, and defeat the tyrants who may penetrate into Wanqu first, and open our way to retreat."

"General Chao, forgive me for speaking bluntly. I'm afraid it's dangerous for us to do this." Uncle Zhou said, "If there are indeed some partisans from the Tyrant Qin who intersperse into Wanqu, then they will definitely take a defensive position with all their strength to stop us from buying time for the Tyrant Qin's pursuers. Once the Tyrant Qin army blocking the way cannot be defeated in time, the consequences will definitely be disastrous."

"Also." Uncle Zhou added: "Now it is the first moment of Sishi. If we turn around and retreat at this time, if we walk slowly, we will definitely be overtaken by Dingtao's Tyrant Qin army. It must have been completely dark in Wanqu, and it was raining heavily in the middle of the night, and we don’t need to think about how dangerous it is to go directly south from Wanqu.”

Xiang Kang's frown became tighter, and Chao Zhi also became nervous, saying: "According to this, don't we really have nowhere to go?"

"No, we should still have a chance." Uncle Zhou replied: "When I asked the fake messenger just now, he also said that more than 1 prisoners of our main force were locked up in a prisoner-of-war camp outside Dingtao City. The Qin army is closely guarding..."

Before Uncle Zhou could finish his sentence, Xiang Kang's eyes lit up when he also asked about the situation, and he slapped his thigh and said, "There is a way. Since the Tyrant Qin army wants to keep the army to guard the prisoners, they will definitely not Send out all the troops to pursue us, we can definitely lure the Tyrant Qin army to divide the troops again and again, defeat the Tyrant Qin army in Dingtao and Wanqu, and maybe even rescue our captured soldiers!"

"The right general is really resourceful." Uncle Zhou praised sincerely: "The last general just racked his brains and finally saw the opportunity to defeat each one. Unexpectedly, the right general just noticed that the Tyrant Qin army must leave troops to guard the prisoners. , I immediately thought of a plan to defeat the enemy, and the general admired it."

Xiang Kang, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, finally showed a little smile, and he was not polite to Uncle Zhou, and immediately gave orders, planning to arrange a tactical plan to ambush the Qin army, but he didn't notice Bao Yuanzhi beside him at all. He has been staring at himself with an expression of admiration in his eyes, and secretly said: "You are so sick, yet you are still so calm and calm."

…………

At this time, the Young Marshal temporarily stopped advancing. Of course, the scouts of the Qin Army reported it to Dong Yi. Dong Yi was very nervous. He was afraid that Xiang Kang would see something wrong and immediately turned around and retreated westward. Prepared to lead the army to pursue.However, Dong Yi was still able to hold his breath. Without confirming that the main force of the young commander's army turned around and retreated, he still patiently stood still and let the Qin army continue to occupy a favorable position, waiting for the main force of the young commander's army to come to the net.

Dong Yi didn't wait in vain, and after a while, the scout Pegasus sent a good news, saying that after a short pause, the young commander's army had already rushed towards Dingtao, marching faster than before, Dong Yi heard the report Overjoyed, he hurriedly ordered the army to prepare for the attack, and arranged for [-] troops to stay in Dingtao early on to take care of the disarmed Chu army prisoners of war, so that he could free up his hands and lead the rest of the army to pursue the young commander's army with all their strength.

There is only one thing that makes Dong Yi regretful. About an hour later, although the Young Marshal allowed Dong Yi to march into the suburbs of Dingtao as he wished, it is a pity that Xiang Kang was very cunning and just let the general Zheng Bu lead an army of [-] to go first, and the main force followed far away. Five miles away, no one rushed directly into the Qin army's ambush circle.At the same time, the front team of the Young Marshal Army was still marching, while sending out scouts to closely search both sides of the road, which basically shattered the hope of the Qin Army to directly ambush the main force of the Young Marshal Army, and forced Dong Yi to launch an ambush in advance and attack the Young Marshal from three sides. Army front.

"Kill!"

In the sound of war drums beating suddenly.The ambushes of the Qin army that came out from the front and on both sides of the road successfully killed the front team of the Young Marshal's army. Zheng Bu was so frightened that he could only turn around and run away with the army. Zheng Bu's butt chased and killed the main force of the young commander's army. The main force of the young commander's army hurriedly lined up to fight, and at the same time quickly moved the supply and grain trucks to the west. There was a ball.

Because the Qin army had exposed its true strength, and found that the main force of the deceived young commander did not dare to love to fight, he just fought hard and temporarily forced the Qin army to retreat, and immediately changed the rear team to the front team, striding towards Wanqu and retreating at full speed.Dong Yi, who had long expected that the Young Marshal would have such a skill, was not in a hurry, and led the Qin army to pursue quickly. While biting the buttocks of the main force of the Young Marshal and slowing down the retreating speed of the Young Marshal, he calmly followed the Young Marshal. The handsome army marched westward.

The rain was continuous, sometimes big and sometimes small, completely soaking the clothes of the Qin army and the young generals. On the muddy and slippery road, the two armies, which were all wet, moved forward with difficulty in three steps and one slippery step.However, although the march was hard, Dong Yi, who was also covered in rain, always smiled confidently and calmly, firmly believing that he would be able to catch the opportunity this time and wash away all the humiliation he had suffered in front of Xiang Kang. Looking forward to the wonderful scene after he defeated the main force of the Young Marshal Army.

Xiang Kang was also very decisive. After fleeing westward for more than [-] miles, he saw that he could not get rid of the Qin army's pursuers. The heavy vehicles blocked the road to temporarily stop the Qin army from pursuing. Seeing that he was willing to let Xiang Kang get what he wanted, Dong Yi also decisively ordered the army to speed up and break through the vehicles of the young commander's army. Shuai Jun any chance to distance himself.

Of course, this is the opportunity that the Young Marshal was waiting for. Only about half of the Qin army's pursuers had crossed the narrow road where the Young Marshal had abandoned their luggage. Long Qie's two armies rushed out from the left and right, and attacked the Qin army's front and rear connections. At the same time, the main force of the young commander's army also turned around immediately, shouting to launch a countercharge against the front team of the Qin army led by Dong Yi himself!
"Why..., an ambush again?! How did I fall into the trap again?!"

While Dong Yi was crying without tears, Qin Jun's nightmare reappeared. The young commander's ambush soldiers who rushed out from left and right cut off the front and rear connections of Qin Jun in one fell swoop, cut Qin Jun in half, and turned around to kill the young commander The main force is like a tiger descending the mountain, and like a tide rushing, it rushes directly to the front team of the Qin army that has lost contact with the rear. Soon he was overwhelmed by the young marshal's army, and soldiers scattered and fled in all directions.

"Hold on! Hold on! Hit backwards, rush past the Chu thief to intercept, retreat on the way back and forth! Don't panic! Don't panic!"

Shouting not to panic, Dong Yi, who had been bullied by Xiang Kang into a neurotic, panicked more than anyone else. He even forgot to arrange a rear team. With poor vision and extreme chaos, the Qin army trampled on each other in broad daylight, trampling to death countless soldiers of the Qin army who unfortunately fell to the ground. Completely defeated the front team of the Qin Army, forcing the soldiers of the Qin Army who were surrounded by front and back to flee in all directions. Finally, seeing that the situation was not good, Dong Yi had no choice but to bring some soldiers along as he did when he was bullied by Xiang Kang. Fleeing to the south, fleeing to the far south under the cover of wind and rain.

After the Qin army's front team was defeated, the leaderless Qin army's rear team quickly collapsed under the counterattack of the young marshal's army. Guiwailing and howling, they rushed to the road and ran for their lives. He issued a command from Zhi's arms, commanding the main force of the young commander's army to pursue at full speed, and continued to kill Dingtao City without stopping.

When they chased under the city of Dingtao in the heavy rain, it was almost completely dark, but the soldiers of the young commander did not dare to rest. They used the lights to identify the direction, and drove some of the defeated Qin army to become free forwards, and went directly to the outside of Dingtao city. The Qin army camp launched an attack.

At this time, the soldiers of the Young Marshal who were chasing after them in the rain were of course very exhausted, while the soldiers of the Qin Army who stayed in the camp were resting and waiting for work, with sufficient physical strength. Logically speaking, it should be difficult for the Young Marshal to break through the Qin Army's camp.But fortunately, seeing the young commander's army coming suddenly, more than 6000 Chu army prisoners in the prisoner-of-war camp resolutely launched a riot in order to escape, and cooperated with the young commander's army to attack back and forth. First, they successfully killed the Qin army guarding the prisoners of war. The soldiers then took the weapons they had just snatched or picked up to cooperate with the young generals to attack the enemy camp, and successfully entered the Qin army camp, forcing the remaining Qin army to abandon the camp and flee, and Ding Tao was also frightened. The county soldiers of the Qin army in the city did not dare to leave the city to die.

After fighting a textbook-like defeat battle and successfully turning defeat into victory, the generals of the young commander and the reborn soldiers of the Chu army were of course bursting with joy, no matter how tired they were, they were all beaming with joy, but Xiang Kang fell into the trap again. Crying in pain, because in the camp of the Qin army, the young commander-in-chief successfully recaptured Xiang Liang's body, and the body of Xiang Liang, who had been kind to him in nurturing him, was carried in front of Xiang Kang. Of course Xiang Kang wanted to keep his voice down Crying is as hard as going to heaven.

The Young Marshal Jun Wenwu still persuaded Xiang Kang with military sentiments as the most important thing. After putting Xiang Liang's body in the coffin, Xiang Kang endured his grief and wiped away his tears, letting the army just rest for one night outside Dingtao City. Tianjiu hurried westward with the army and the prisoners of the Chu army reorganized overnight, and then retreated at full speed in the direction of Wanqu.Although Dong Yi gathered some remnants and defeated generals in the south of the Dingtao battlefield, he had lost all his food, supplies and countless weapons, so he couldn't continue to pursue him. Once, because of a disastrous defeat in pleading guilty to Zhang Han, he sent someone in a hurry to contact Ji Hu who had penetrated to Wanqu fortification, and told him that he could no longer go there to cooperate with the flanking attack.

Although the young commander's army fought beautifully in this battle, it turned out to be a pain for Xiang Yu and others who were hunted down by the main force of the Qin army. Before and after Han, Zhang Han, who had already chased down his father, jumped into a rage. In order to vent his anger, despite the continuous heavy rain, he resolutely led the main force of the Qin army to continue chasing the remnants of the Chu army who fled in a hurry, and even directly pursued them to the city of Fengyi. , defeated the remnants of the Chu army again, and beat Xiang Yu, Liu Laosan and others to the point of tears, crying out for grievances, "Mr. Zhang Han, did we dig your ancestral grave or robbed your daughter? How can we chase after you?" When we arrive in Fengyi, you won’t let us go?"

Not to mention, after beating the remnants of the Chu army and running away with their heads in their hands, the main force of the Qin army, which had already run out of food and grass, slaughtered Fengyi City, pouring out the monstrous anger against the young commander's army on the innocent people of Fengyi, frightening the east. Xiang Yu, Liu Laosan and others who fled to Pei County did not even dare to breathe, and quickly fled to Pengcheng with Liu Laosan's family members and Xiao Henan, finally getting rid of the main force of the Qin army who could no longer maintain food and grass.

Dong Yi's general, Ji Hu, was also unlucky. It was only when the main force of the Young Marshal's army returned to the vicinity of Wanqu that the messenger of the Qin army who took the small road on the north bank sent the news of the disastrous defeat of Dong Yi's troops. In front of Jihu, Jihu screamed bitterly, and was afraid of being attacked halfway by the young commander's army. He didn't dare to take the risk and fled across the north immediately. He was forced to choose to close the camp to protect himself. Flee south.

It was just a fantasy. It was expected that the main force of the Qin army would not be able to catch up quickly. Xiang Kang, in order to avenge the main force of the Chu army and retreat to the south more safely, resolutely went into battle again due to illness, and personally commanded the soldiers of the young commander to storm the camp of the Qin army. Successfully broke through the camp of the Qin Army's partial division that was not strong enough on the same day, defeated the Qin Army's partial division, and beheaded the leader of the Qin Army's partial division, Ji Hu, on the battlefield. Only then did they calmly go south, and retreated to Suiyang, which was still under the control of the Chu army, via Feng County.

A few days later, when he saw the city of Suiyang in the distance, Xiang Kang, who was still ill, heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but think of the time when he met Xiang Liang for the first time in Suiyang after he came to this era. Situation, silently recited his own address to Xiang Liang, tears wet his clothes.This time, Xiang Kang was really crying.

"General You, don't be sad. People cannot be resurrected after death. The General has a spirit in the sky. Seeing that you can lead the army to break out of the encirclement and rescue his body and the captured Chu soldiers, you will surely be able to rest in peace. "

Bo Yuanzhi's soft consolation did not relieve the pain in Xiang Kang's heart. On the contrary, Xiang Kang couldn't help but bury his head in Bo Yuanzhi's arms, crying even more sadly. , but moved by the family relationship between Xiang Kang and Xiang Liang, he could only let Xiang Kang rub in his arms and vent the sorrow in his heart.
