Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 463
"The thief army is out again!"

Seeing that the Han army sent troops from the east gate of the camp again, Xiang Zhuang, the commander-in-chief of the Chuji coalition army, whose purpose of this operation was to force the Han army to a decisive battle, was of course overjoyed immediately, but Xiang Zhuang remembered Han Xin's reminder, and did not immediately He sent troops to the camp and fought next to the camp that was beneficial to the Han army. He chose to wait patiently for the Han army to complete the assembly as before, and took the initiative to advance eastward to reinforce the Yan army camp that was already in full swing.

During this period, although Han Xin, who had seen through Uncle Zhou's intentions, knew that it was wrong to do so, he had no way to solve it. He could only temporarily give up interfering with Xiang Zhuang's command and let Xiang Zhuang decide on his own. Thinking hard about how to break Uncle Zhou's clumsy tactics.

As Han Xin expected, after the second batch of Han troops approached the camp of the Yan army, although they immediately launched an attack on the Western Chu army that was besieging the first batch of Han troops, Xiangzhuang sent another [-] troops to the north for reinforcements At that time, the second batch of Han troops who left the camp immediately changed into the most defensive circular formation and took a defensive position to deal with the incoming enemy. It is to let the queue naturally extend to the two wings, gradually encircling the Han army circle.

In this way, the [-] Han troops dispatched in two batches directly restrained the [-] Western Chu troops, and some Jibei troops who were attacking the Yan army camp. , still appeared to be very comfortable, showing no sign of failure.

Immediately afterwards, the east gate of the Han army camp opened again, and another Han army filed out and quickly assembled outside the camp.As a result, seeing such a situation, even Xiang Zhuang, who lacked independent experience, saw something was wrong, and said in surprise: "What are the Han thieves doing? Why are they sending troops out of the camp bit by bit? What kind of strategy is this? "

"The Chinese thieves are forcing us to fight for consumption." Han Xin finally opened his mouth and said with a gloomy face: "Mr. Zhou sent [-] troops out of the camp every time. If we have roughly the same or even more troops, and when we have almost restrained the army in our main battle formation, he can take advantage of the opportunity when some of our troops in the guard camp are at a disadvantage, or send out heavy troops to directly attack our flag. We can take a long shot and win the victory with one hammer, or we can attack some parts of the battlefield one by one, and we will be completely wiped out."

"Is there still such a style of play?" Xiang Zhuang was dumbfounded and surprised.

"Shameless bastard!" Liu Laosan groaned in pain, and said, "Why do these shameless traitors fight a war of attrition as soon as they encounter us?"

"Uncle Zhou can't get what he wants." Han Xin said again: "If we let him continue to fight like this, we will suffer a big loss sooner or later. We can only gamble."

"How to gamble?" Xiang Zhuang quickly asked, and Han Xin quickly introduced his tactics and purpose in a low voice...

According to Han Xin's tactical adjustment, the Western Chu army did not give the third formation of the Han army a chance to approach the first two formations this time, and dispatched an army of the same strength early on to block the third formation of the Han army from the east. As expected, the third formation urgently changed into a circular formation, and once again entangled the Western Chu army on the opposite side.Then the gate of the East Camp of the Han Army opened immediately, and the fourth formation of the Han Army began to rush out of the camp to gather.

"Kill!"

While the command flag was being waved, another [-] Western Chu troops charged northwestward, and directly charged at the fourth formation of the Han army that was leaving the camp. They refused to give the fourth formation of the Han army a chance to leave the camp easily. Uncle Zhou Seeing a big laugh in the Han army camp, he immediately ordered one after another, and dispatched another [-] troops in one breath.

During this period, the Western Chu Army adjusted their tactics again. More than a hundred chariots that were already on the verge of being eliminated marched eastward and concentrated, and lined up to the south of the Han Army's first formation of bell gnats. The chariot-breaking tactic was to attack the Han army's circle formation, intending to use the chariot to break up the Han army's battle formation and gain a chance to completely defeat the Han army's circle formation.

The horses raised their hooves, the cars rumbled, and the chariots of the Western Chu Army galloped like the wind. But there were constant roars in the formation, "Stand firm! Stand firm! Palm Thunder is ready! Divide into three rounds!"

This is also the first time that the Han army used primitive grenades to deal with the impact of the enemy's chariots, and the result was not bad, although the convoy of the Western Chu Army did not get to throw primitive grenades to disturb the enemy's horses until they rushed within fifty steps. However, when the original grenade was thrown into the car group and exploded one after another, the frightened war horses still lost control one after another. Either they stopped immediately, or they ran around uncontrollably, seriously disrupting the situation. The formation of the Western Chu Army's chariots prevented the Western Chu Army's convoy from crashing into the crowd of the Han Army in a cluster, and the power of the charge was greatly reduced.

But it can only do this. Amidst the continuous grenade explosions, still more than 20 chariots rushed into the crowd of the Han army, killing and injuring many Han army soldiers, causing chaos in the queue of the Han army. As soon as the soldiers of the Western Chu Army saw the opportunity, they immediately charged and charged, and never gave the Han army a chance to form a dense circle again. Xiang Zhuang, Liu Laosan and others in the distance also applauded, knowing that their own army There is still a chance to win today's decisive battle.

The intensity of the battlefield also suddenly rose to a new level. In order to defeat the first round formation of the Han army as soon as possible to form a chain reaction, the soldiers of the Chu-Ji coalition attacked the first formation of the Han army from all directions. For a second, he was slashing and stabbing at the first line of the Han army, killing the soldiers of the Han army so that they kept retreating, and the space of the position was compressed by more than half.At the same time, another [-] Western Chu troops rushed forward and once again stopped the Han army team that was leaving the camp from the north and south gates, buying time for the friendly army to completely defeat the first Han army.

But correspondingly, after the continuous division of troops to face the battle, Xiang Zhuang has only about [-] Western Chu Army reserve troops left available, and the Jibei Army, which is attacking the Yan Army camp, also only has more than [-] reserve troops that can act impulsively. In the Han army camp, the reserve team is as high as [-]!

Under such circumstances, whether the first formation of the Han army can be defeated as soon as possible is of course the key to the victory of the Chuji coalition forces. If the Chuji coalition forces can successfully defeat the first formation of the Han army before the Han army makes new adjustments, then the battle Immediately, you can free up your hands to reinforce the second battle, gradually accumulating victories like a snowball, and if the Chu-Ji coalition army can't do this, and the Han army gritted their teeth on their own in the first battle, then needless to say, just relying on consumption , the Han army will be able to exhaust the Chu-Ji coalition forces that left [-] troops guarding the camp.

In Han Xin's vision, the position where Uncle Zhou is most likely to take action is of course the only Han camp that has not been attacked by the enemy at present. Contrary to Han Xin's expectations, during the fierce battle, the Han army forcibly dispatched a support army from the East Gate, and directly joined the East Gate battlefield that was blocked by the Western Chu Army.

Needless to say, this army is of course Uncle Zhou's infantry trump card heavy armored soldiers. Although the number of heavy armored soldiers of the Han army is only [-], they are small, but when they suddenly appeared on the battlefield, they immediately turned into a straight sword. The sharp knife that stabs the enemy's heart is almost invulnerable, but the steel knife and gun in his hand are extremely sharp, and can easily pierce through the thin leather armor of the soldiers of the Western Chu Army, just like five hundred humanoid tanks. Rampage, invincible, the Han army soldiers followed behind the heavily armored soldiers, slashed and killed, quickly opened up the space of the position, the Han army crowd silted at the camp gate was released, and quickly launched a counterattack. The Chu army retreated again and again, and quickly showed signs of defeat.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Zhuang's eyes were also anxious, and he hurriedly shouted to Ji Bu beside him: "Ji Bu, immediately bring ten thousand troops up, and suppress the Han thieves outside the east gate for me!"

"Zuo Sima, if I go up again, your troops here will be even weaker." Ji Bu said with a sneer, "If the Han thieves send troops from the west gate again and attack our flag array directly, how will you deal with it?"

"You don't need to worry about it!" Xiang Zhuang roared with red eyes: "Immediately execute the order, otherwise the military law will be followed!"

After snorting heavily, Ji Bu bowed his hands symbolically, and strode down to lead the army to attack, then Xiang Zhuang immediately turned to Liu Laosan, and ordered: "Pei Gong, at the west gate of the Han bandit camp, just go It's up to you, I'll give you [-] troops, no matter what, you must block the way out of the Han bandits' camp, and buy us time to defeat the Han bandits in the first battle!"

Liu Laosan gave Xiang Zhuang a lot of face, and rushed down to lead the attack as soon as he bowed his hands. Han Xin, who was subordinate to Liu Laosan in terms of organization, wanted to keep up with him, but Xiang Zhuang stopped him and said, "General Han Xin, you stay behind." Next, just ask your deputy to lead the army instead of you."

Han Xin sang a promise to stop, bowed his hands to Liu Laosan, and then immediately turned his attention to the first battlefield of the Han army, which was already bloody and bloody, and secretly said: "Hurry up, hurry up, it depends on whether you lose or win today." Yours."

Xiang Zhuang may have saved Han Xin's life by accident. Uncle Zhou was overjoyed when he saw that the Western Chu Army had finally divided up and rushed to block the west gate of his army's camp. After San's banner, Uncle Zhou laughed out loud and said, "It's really a narrow road to Yuanjia, I hope that man named Han Xin will also come, so that I can live up to the trap I carefully set! Here you go, follow the plan!"

On Liu Laosan's side, after quickly leading the army to the west gate of the Han army's camp, before the Han army had time to send troops out of the camp, Liu Laosan, who was also an old sparrow on the battlefield, immediately commanded the army A dense queue formed outside the range of the crossbows of the Han army. They aimed at the two camp gates of the west camp of the Han army, and then said through gritted teeth: "Han thief, if you want to come out from here, just come!"

coming!

It's really coming!

But it's a pity that it wasn't the soldiers of the Han army who came out, but...

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Amidst the whistling sound, large black urns with thick smoke suddenly flew up from the Han army camp, drawing beautiful parabolas in the sky, smashing into the dense formation of Liu Laosan's army, bursting into flames Suddenly, countless Western Chu soldiers under Liu Laosan screamed like killing pigs. One of the big urns happened to hit Liu Laosan's banner, and a piece of burning charcoal hit Liu Laosan's head. The handsome face immediately ignited Liu Laosan's beard and hair, and made Liu Laosan scream like a pig...

"Shameless traitor! He even ambushed a trebuchet here!"

The primitive incendiary bombs that fell one after another smashed the soldiers under Liu Laosan into chaos. Immediately afterwards, countless sheep's head stones fell from the sky, smashing the heads of the soldiers of the Western Chu Army who lined up to block the gate. , The cheering voices also rose and fell in the Han army camp, while Liu Laosan slapped the flames on his face, and shouted in despair, "Quickly retreat! Back up! Quickly!"

Uncle Zhou's number one general, Chong Da, was waiting for this opportunity. Liu Laosan's army had just retreated in a panic. When the drums were beating, the two camp gates of the Han Army's West Camp opened wide. The steel knife rushed out first, and all the soldiers of the Han army behind were brave, all of them working hard, rushing like the wind, like two sharp knives, they directly stabbed Liu Laosan's army that had been smashed into chaos by the trebuchet. The trebuchet seized the time and threw another wave of rocks, which further confused Liu Laosan's already chaotic queue.

The suspense is still not great. After the elite Han army who suddenly broke out rushed into the chaotic Western Chu army, they just swung their knives to kill and kill people. The attack of the Han army was like a tide, and the soldiers of the Han army behind them continued to leave the camp from the west gate of the camp, quickly occupying the superiority of troops outside the west gate. He quickly turned his horse's head, led the army and ran southward, and Chongda led the army in hot pursuit, chasing and killing for more than ten miles in one breath, until Liu Laosan's army was completely defeated.

At this time, even though the Western Chu army had already defeated the first formation of the Han army as it wished, Han Xin saw that Liu Laosan was retreating quickly, and Han Xin immediately understood that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said to Xiang Zhuang: "Zuo Sima, Pei Gong has already been defeated." If we are defeated, when the Han bandits turn around, they will definitely attack our flag array, the situation is not good for us, the best way is to withdraw the troops as soon as possible, so as to minimize our losses."

After hesitating for a while, Xiang Zhuang flatly rejected Han Xin's suggestion and said, "No way, our army is already entangled with the traitors. To retreat at this time is to turn our backs and let the traitors cut us down. Continue fighting!"

After all, Xiang Zhuang not only ordered the last [-] troops in his hand to immediately form a round formation to protect the flag formation, but also hurriedly sent someone to contact Tian Da, ordering the Jibei Army to give up attacking the Yan Army's camp and instead attack the Han Army's first camp with all its strength. In the second battle, they tried in vain to take advantage of the opportunity of the dispersion of the Han army's forces to defeat the Han army one by one and establish a victory.Han Xin shook his head helplessly when he saw this, and said to himself, "Now Uncle Zhou's wish has been fulfilled."

Not to mention, when the Jinbei Army gave up attacking the camp and changed to a full-scale field battle, it really regained the upper hand on the battlefield for a certain period of time, but when Chongda led [-] troops back to the main battlefield, he began to besiege Xiangzhuang. After the flag formation, Xiangzhuang also lost contact with all the troops in the north. As a result, the Chuji Allied Forces could only fight on their own, all based on their feelings. Uncle Zhou sent troops from the west gate very calmly, first to reinforce his own army The south gate battlefield of the camp.

Losing contact with the flag formation, and being flanked back and forth by the Han army far superior to him, the Western Chu army outside the south gate was of course quickly defeated by the Han army. The Western Chu army led by Ji Bu launched a fierce attack and crushed the enemy with partial strength. In addition, there were heavy armored soldiers of the Han army rampaging in the chaotic army. If they hadn't fled south when the sun was setting, the rest of the Chuji army would have been flustered when they saw it. Although they were still trying their best to hold on, their defeat was revealed, and the Jibei army also began to retreat gradually.

Seeing this situation, Han Xin could only rush to Xiangzhuang and said: "Zuo Sima, how stubborn are you? If you don't call gold, not only our army will be finished, but you will be finished too!"

After roaring extremely unwillingly, Xiang Zhuang still reluctantly gave the order to call gold, and at the same time he got on his horse and led the army to break through the siege. All the teams were amnesty, from top to bottom they were scrambling to flee south. The soldiers of the Han army took the opportunity to hunt down and kill the retreating soldiers of the Chu-Ji coalition army. The national army also howled and rushed out of the camp, joined the hunting battlefield, and vented their anger at being bullied by the enemy.

Fortunately, Jinji Ridge is not very far from here. In addition, the Chuji coalition forces still have Licheng, a temporary safe place to retreat, so even if they retreated hastily, there are still a large number of Chuji coalition forces who fled back. In the camp or Licheng City, out of caution, Xiang Zhuang and Han Xin left behind [-] defenders who also played a huge role at this moment, successfully covering the retreat of many friendly soldiers to the camp, and preventing the Han army from entering their camp. Chance.

Perhaps it is good that is rewarded with good. After a bloody battle with good character and martial arts, Xiang Zhuang also led Han Xin to break out of the encirclement miraculously, and escaped back to the Jinjiling camp by chance. When he returned to the big tent of the Chinese army covered in blood and sweat, the first thing he saw was Ji Bu who was yelling at Liu Laosan. The army was the first to be defeated, which led to the defeat of today's battle.

"Stop arguing! I am responsible for today! I will take the initiative to send someone to report to the king for today's battle, and ask the king to hold me accountable!"

After roaring and choking Ji Bu, who was unreasonable, Xiang Zhuang sat down on the handsome seat, and said with a gloomy face, "The most important thing now is to think about what to do next. We lost this battle today. When the reinforcements from the traitors arrive, we will be even more hopeless, and whether we should continue to stand firm and wait for reinforcements, or quickly abandon Licheng and go south, we have to make up our minds as soon as possible."

Ji Bu closed his mouth, and Liu Laosan, whose hair and beard had been mostly burnt off, was silent, while Han Xin, who was also covered in sweat and blood, was planning in his mind, secretly said: "Retreat as soon as possible, but we abandon the camp and retreat at this time. It must be within the expectations of Uncle Zhou, and he will definitely have a defensive arrangement. Even if we can barely escape, the loss will definitely not be so small. Hold on and wait for help. In the current situation of the Western Chu Army, can we still do it? Sending us reinforcements, no one can say for sure. Jedi counterattack... Is there any hope?"

　It's December, looking for a new monthly pass for January.
