Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 183 Uncle Xiang Makes Another Great Contribution
There is such a rumor in the Qin army that there is such a strong general in the anti-Qin Yi army. He rides a black horse and uses a spear. He has a green face, long teeth, and a waist half a foot thick. It roared like thunder from the sky, and its strength was so great that it didn't look like it was raised by its parents. Even if you use a spear with one hand, one spear can kill three or four people wearing female rhinoceros leather armor. All the middle-aged men stabbed their hearts out!Then he could pick up all these stabbed people with one hand and smash them like a hammer, until all the corpses strung on the spear were smashed into meat paste!
The soldiers of the Qin army generally did not believe this rumor, even some soldiers of the Qin army who claimed to have escaped from the spear of the fierce general on the black horse swore and swore that they had seen this fierce general with their own eyes, and saw him skewered like a fish on a string with their own eyes. The corpses of the soldiers of the Qin Army were smashed and smashed. Most of the soldiers of the Qin Army still listened to the words of these survivors as a joke. No matter what, they refused to believe that such a thing could exist in the world, and people who could have such strength .

But today, many soldiers of the Qin army suddenly believed such rumors, because they saw the unrivaled power of this dark horse general on the battlefield with their own eyes!
Facing the feathered arrows hastily released by the soldiers of the Qin Army, the cavalry of the Chu Army naturally formed a conical formation during the charge, like a sharp arrow off the string, directly piercing into the crowd of the Qin Army, originally to attack the right wing of the anti-Qin coalition army. The soldiers of the Qin army also forgot their duties, howled excitedly to meet Xiang Yu, the commander of the anti-Qin coalition army who rushed to the forefront, to fight for the rare opportunity to make himself rich and honored for life, and even be named a marquis and general.However, it is a pity that these Qin army officers and soldiers who hoped to kill the generals and make meritorious service soon discovered that their thinking was too naive.

"kill!"

A very simple word spewed out of Xiang Yu's mouth, like thunder, shaking the eardrums of many soldiers of the Qin army rushing to numb. Surprisingly fast, like candied haws on a string, they pierced through the chests of two Qin army soldiers with their armor on. Before the two Qin army soldiers who had experienced many battles even had time to feel the pain, their bodies were crushed together by a strange force. He picked them up and smashed them sideways at their companions. Their bones broke when their bodies collided. Four or five soldiers of the Qin army were knocked over directly. His companions trampled to death and injured him.

The spear continued to fly, flying the weapons among the soldiers of the Qin Army, and smashing the necks and skulls of the soldiers of the Qin Army. The soldiers of the Qin army whose bodies were pierced flew away from the ground and turned into weapons in Xiang Yu's hands, smashing the other soldiers of the Qin army to their bones and bones, bleeding from their mouths and noses, and the screams of extreme fear echoed in front of Xiang Yu one after another. , "Ghosts! Ghosts have descended!"

The cavalry of the Chu Army who followed Xiang Yu into the crowd of the Qin Army were also unstoppable. They roared excitedly and desperately greeted the soldiers of the Qin Army with their weapons. Although it was an elite unit of the Great Wall Corps, it still couldn't resist the fierce offensive of the Chu cavalry, and was directly torn out by the Chu cavalry in a blink of an eye, and the formation was in chaos.The right-wing armies of the anti-Qin coalition army took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and the cavalry of the Chu army flanked the advancing soldiers of the Qin army on both sides, quickly reversing the offensive and defensive situation.

The more it came to the time of melee, the more unrivaled the King of Chu's majesty was revealed. Every time the spear was stabbed, one or two soldiers of the Qin Army screamed and were pierced through their chests. Every time the spear was swung, several soldiers of the Qin Army He screamed and fell to the ground, and some unlucky people were directly stabbed in the face by the spear point, and even their skulls were directly pierced, and their brains and blood were sprayed together, but Xiang Yu relaxed as if he was walking among flowers, and kept yelling, "Still Who?!"

Captured by Xiang Yu's majesty, none of the soldiers of the Qin army who originally wanted to kill the generals were terrified, and retreated repeatedly while screaming in fear. No one dared to stop Xiang Yu's horse, and the cavalry of the Chu army took the opportunity to follow. He was even more excited to kill the enemy with spears, and killed the heartbroken soldiers of the Qin army. The corpses were scattered all over the field, the formation became more chaotic, and the team of the Qin army was torn in two.

Seeing this scene on the high ground in the distance, Wang Li couldn't believe his eyes at all. He opened his mouth wide and couldn't make a sound for a long time. It was only after repeated reminders from his subordinates that Wang Li woke up like a dream. He mobilized the troops to attack the left flank of the anti-Qin allied army's position, in an attempt to take advantage of Xiang Yu's temporary departure from the command flag formation to crush the enemy's left flank and seize the initiative in the decisive battle.

It is a pity that the Qin army who attacked hastily failed to shake the left-wing position of the anti-Qin coalition army. On the contrary, the Qin army that attacked before was defeated by the anti-Qin coalition army on the right-wing battlefield, and was forced to flee back to the front for help. The right-wing army of the coalition army took the opportunity to launch a pursuit, but Xiang Yu didn't even blink his eyelids. He immediately led the Chu army's cavalry to reinforce the left-wing battlefield, and directly charged into the Qin army's crowd again, massacring the Qin army's soldiers like cutting melons and vegetables.

After the soldiers on the left wing of the Qin Army were also dispersed by Xiang Yu himself, the Great Wall Corps of the Qin Army was doomed to be defeated. , Xiang Yu, who returned to command the flag formation, did not even wipe the sweat and blood from his face, and immediately urged the Chinese army to attack. The soldiers divided into three groups and attacked the Qin army's battle formation at the same time. Relying on the formation, he gritted his teeth and persisted, striving to force back the anti-Qin coalition forces to keep the tie.

Wang Li's sweet dream did not come true. When the fierce battle was about to set and the sun was about to set, he saw that the Qin army's right wing had begun to loosen. Before it was dark, the right wing of the Qin army was crushed. Seeing that the general situation was over, Wang Li had no choice but to let someone ring the golden bell, and led the Great Wall Corps to retreat hastily. Falling, corpses littered the field, and even chased directly to where Zhang Han's main force was.

Fortunately, at this time, the main force of Zhang Han had established a strong camp, and made preparations for the night battle in time. He also dispatched [-] troops to fight on the road with torches, and temporarily blocked the anti-Qin coalition forces for Wang Li's defeated troops. Pursue soldiers to cover the defeated soldiers of the Great Wall Corps of the Qin Army fleeing westward.Although the anti-Qin coalition army's offensive was fierce, they suffered from the fact that they did not prepare torches and other items for night battles. In addition, their physical strength declined severely after the fierce battle. After several attacks, they failed to break through the army sent by Zhang Han. In the end, they had no choice but to give up the pursuit. , Temporarily retreat and set up camp to rest.

After the disastrous defeat, Wang Li knew that he had committed a serious crime, and just barely managed to gather the defeated soldiers. Regardless of the opposition of the generals, he ordered himself to be tied up, and entered Zhang Han's camp to plead guilty to Zhang Han face to face. Kneeling down, he offered to accept any treatment from Zhang Han.Although Zhang Han wished in his heart to tear Wang Li's corpse into pieces, considering Wang Li's identity and background, as well as the feelings of the Great Wall Corps, Zhang Han suppressed his anger forcibly, and said, "I won't do it for the time being." I will kill you, but I will report your matter to the court truthfully, and ask the emperor to decide how to deal with you, and no matter how the emperor punishes you, don't blame me for not remembering the past."

"Thank you, General." Wang Li paused heavily, and then took the initiative to say: "Please rest assured, General, no matter how the emperor punishes the guilty general, the criminal will never complain, let alone have the slightest complaint against the general."

With a long sigh, Zhang Han said with a gloomy face: "Get up, go back and regroup the army quickly, and count the losses. We still have a long way to retreat. Whether we can retreat back to Hanoi smoothly depends on whether we can withstand the attack." The pursuit of the thieves."

Wang Li respectfully agreed, and then got up to say goodbye and leave, but when Wang Li was about to walk out of the military tent, Zhang Han's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

"What orders does the General have?" Wang Li hurriedly turned around and asked.

"After you go back, select [-] troops from your defeated army overnight, replenish enough weapons and equipment, and hand them over to reliable generals." Zhang Han ordered: "After receiving the dry food tomorrow morning, immediately leave the main force and go west. Go to Dangyin to set up a camp, defend Dangyin for me, and protect our westward retreat."

"Dangyin is only a small city, without even a city wall, why does the general attach so much importance to it?" Wang Li asked suspiciously.

"Did you forget about Xiang Kang?" Zhang Han asked angrily: "Now that he has captured Puyang and Baima, we can't go through the road of Baimajin anyway, we can only walk in the dark If Xiang Yu's rebel army separates out to attack Dangyin and join hands with Xiang Kang Xiaoer to cut off all our retreat routes, how can we retreat back to Hanoi?"

Wang Li came to his senses, and hurriedly accepted his orders with clasped fists again, and then hurriedly returned to the Great Wall Corps army camped out in the wild, to select an army that remained intact to form a partial division, and prepared to go to Dangyin to protect the retreat the next day.

…………

The Anti-Qin Allied Army still had the opportunity to join forces with the Young Marshal Army to cut off the Qin Army’s retreat, because at this time, the messenger of the Young Marshal Army who came from Puyang had already contacted the Anti-Qin Allied Army, and after revealing his identity, he obtained a Xiang Yu summoned him overnight, and presented Xiang Kang's letter to Xiang Yu before the Qin army divided the troops.

Xiang Kang was indeed at odds with Xiang Bo and Master Xiang. When the messenger of the Young Marshal Army saw Xiang Yu, Master Xiang Bo, who had made great contributions today, happened to be by Xiang Yu's side, and he was still bragging about his tricks. The scenery is infinite, arrogant and proud.As a result, after his bragging was interrupted by the messenger of the Young Marshal Army who arrived suddenly, Uncle Xiang, who was already very dissatisfied with Xiang Kang, was inevitably even more annoyed, and he urged Xiang Yu: "Nephew, it's late at night, and you are also tired." It's terrible, let's meet Kanger's messenger tomorrow."

Knowing the seriousness, Xiang Yu ignored Uncle Xiang's dissuasion, and immediately summoned the messenger sent by Xiang Kang. After reading the letter sent by Xiang Kang, Xiang Yu was still very happy, and immediately said: "It's still my brother who thinks about it." Zhou Quan, that’s right, I should immediately send a force to attack Dangyin, and join forces with my younger brother to cut off the retreat of the main force of the Tyrant Qin, so we will definitely hope to wipe out the main force of the Tyrant Qin to the east of Hanoi.”

Uncle Xiang, who likes to show off his identity, asked Xiang Kang's letter for a closer look at the first time. After reading it quickly with the light of the bonfire, Uncle Xiang rolled his eyes, first waved for the messenger sent by Xiang Kang to go down to rest, and then Then he asked Xiang Yu with a pleasant face: "Nephew, from your tone, are you planning to take Kang'er's suggestion and divide your troops to take the risk of raiding the Yin?"

"Of course." Xiang Yu said without even thinking about it: "As long as we divide our troops and attack Dangyin successfully, we will cut off the two retreat routes of the Tyrant Qin army. "

Uncle Xiang sighed, and then said: "Nephew, this risk may be worth taking, but have you considered it? Who will benefit the most if you succeed in taking the risk?"

"Who is it?" Xiang Yu was taken aback by the question.

"Do you need to ask? Of course it is Kanger." Uncle Xiang smiled bitterly, and then said: "If you take the risk and divide your troops to attack Dangyin and succeed, the initiative to capture and kill Zhang Han to avenge your second uncle will be entirely on Kanger's hands." In your hands, if the main force of the Tyrant Qin retreats westward by Baimajin, he only needs to be in the way to stop him, and he may use our pursuit to capture and kill Zhang Han before you. If the main force of the Tyrant Qin breaks through by force, he will You can also immediately take the army from Baimajin directly to the north to pick up cheap ones. At that time, our army will block and chase, and he will suddenly attack from the flank. If he is lucky enough to capture and kill Zhang Han in front of you , then isn’t he the justifiable general of the Chu Kingdom?”

Xiang Yu's complexion changed a little under the bonfire. Uncle Xiang observed his words and took the opportunity to say: "Nephew, besides the old man, you are the head of the Xiang family's children. I am incompetent myself, and I am not qualified to succeed my elder brother as the general of the Chu State. , but I sincerely hope that you can inherit your brother's behest and succeed him as the general of the Chu State, so you have to understand the pains this old man has put in for you."

Xiang Yu still remained silent, and Uncle Xiang took the opportunity to say: "Actually, in my uncle's opinion, there is no need for us to take the risk of dividing our troops to attack Dangyin, because there is still more than 60 miles to retreat from here to Dangyin, and at the marching speed of the Tyrant Qin army , there are at least two days before they can retreat to Dangyin. In addition, if the Tyrant Qin army wants to retreat to a safe place, it will take at least two more days to retreat to Chaoge, and they must cross the flood on the way. We have so much time to pursue the pursuit, and we have the opportunity to attack the Tyrant Qin army halfway through the flood, why should we take the risk of dividing our troops to attack Dangyin? If we miss the attack, we will lose our troops and generals, but if we succeed in the attack, it will be cheaper for others, my nephew. Why bother?"

Xiang Yu still had a gloomy face and did not speak, and it was after a long time that Xiang Yu said in a hoarse voice: "Uncle, it's late at night, you go to rest, I will think about the matter of running around in the dark."

Uncle Xiang nodded in agreement, got up and patted Xiang Yu's shoulder again, and said, "Nephew, uncle is not biased, but Kang'er is indeed a little greedy, and Huaisi was basically brought down by him, if he chooses again You are so cheap that you captured and killed Mr. Zhang Han in front of you, and I am afraid that you will be trampled under his feet for the rest of your life. You must think carefully about where to go, otherwise it will be too late to regret it in the future."

Xiang Yu still didn't respond, even after Xiang Bo left with a sigh, Xiang Yu still sat motionless in front of the bonfire, but the light of the four pupils kept changing, and he gradually made up his mind...

In the early morning of the next day, the main force of the Qin army and the anti-Qin allied army got up and marched westward almost at the same time, one in front and one in the back, and slowly marched towards Hanoi. The troops were mobilized to block the attack one by one, never allowing the pursuers to gain any advantage, and they retreated step by step in an orderly manner.During this period, the scouts of the anti-Qin coalition army also discovered the situation of the Qin army's division of troops in time, and reported the news to Xiang Yu in time.

This is also the last chance for the anti-Qin coalition forces to cut off the Qin army's retreat first. Hearing that the Qin army divided up and marched first, the soldiers surnamed Han who happened to be not on duty by Xiang Yu's side last night woke up first, and immediately stood up to speak out, pointing out that the Qin army's division of troops ahead is inevitable. In order to go to Dangyin to protect the retreat, he tried his best to persuade Xiang Yu to divide his troops to attack Dangyin immediately, not to give the Qin army a chance to calmly gain a foothold in Dangyin, and to give Xiang Kang the opportunity to send troops directly from Baimajin to Dangyin to assist the anti-Qin coalition forces. The partial division cut off the Qin army's retreat.

This time, old man Fan also stood by the soldiers surnamed Han, and also persuaded Xiang Yu to divide his troops immediately. Xiang Yu was hesitant, but Xiang Bo jumped out to express his opposition, saying: "Don't take risks, don't forget, Mr. Zhang Han was in court before. Song left [-] troops to respond. If the Tyrant Qin army received Zhang Han's order to set up defenses in Dangyin in advance, and our division troops marched alone, and the Tyrant Qin army was waiting for work in Dangyin, wouldn't our division be necessary? In danger?"

"General You hasn't dealt with that tyrannical Qin army yet?" Old man Fan froze, and quickly asked Xiang Yu: "Ex-general, did General You send someone to contact us? Did you introduce Chaoge's tyrannical Qin army?" trend?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Yu shook his head and said, "No."

"What the hell is this Xiang Kang doing?" Old man Fan was very dissatisfied when he heard this, and said: "We have already caught the main force of Tyrant Qin, and he has also killed and retreated the Tyrant Qin army from Jiyuan to reinforce Puyang. He has no idea what to do." Hurry up and get rid of Chaoge's tyrannical Qin army, why don't you even send a message quickly?"

"So, Fan Gong, if the enemy's situation is unknown, we'd better not take the risk of dividing our troops." Xiang Bo persuaded again: "The strength of Tyrant Qin's army is already superior to ours, so we'd better concentrate our troops to pursue them. Just in case."

The disadvantage was that he didn't know the enemy's situation. For the first time, Old Man Fan could only follow Xiang Bo's persuasion, and gave up the suggestion of immediately dividing his troops to attack Dangyin. Xiang Bo forcibly drinks back.Xiang Yu let Xiang Bo do his best, and only after Xiang Bo forcibly suppressed all the opposing voices, Xiang Yu ordered: "Order the whole army to advance at a faster speed, catch up with the Tyrant Qin army and force them to fight decisively."
