Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 482 Meeting the Nemesis
Let’s first look at the situation on Peng Yue’s side. After successfully capturing the small town of Chengqiu in the southwest of Xiaoqiu, as usual, Peng Yue’s army, in addition to taking prisoners as much as possible and recruiting recruits to expand the army, immediately sent people to investigate the surrounding situation. Contact the eyeliners that Peng Yuejun had placed in various places in Xue County before, and grasp the movements of the Western Chu Army in various places in Xue County.

Guerrilla warfare genius Peng Yue's eyeliner is naturally very effective. Liu Laosan who is in charge of dealing with him has just arrived in Xiaoqiu with an army of [-], and Peng Yue already knows this important situation. The news that a large amount of military supplies, money and food had departed from Lu County and went south was also delivered to Peng Yue almost at the same time.

Although he has no direct contact with the Northern Front Corps of the Han Army and does not know the latest movement of Uncle Zhou's army, just after hearing these two news, Peng Yue, who is outstanding in military talent, immediately guessed that Uncle Zhou's side has already made a move—otherwise , the Chu-Ji coalition forces can send military supplies back to Pengcheng in batches through the Surabaya route, but they are forced to use land transportation without enough ships to transport them by water. This is the iron proof that Uncle Zhou has already done it!

This made Peng Yue both happy and worried. Of course, the happy thing was that since Uncle Zhou had already taken action, he could successfully complete the task entrusted to him by Xiang Kang as long as he slowed down the southward speed of the Chuji coalition forces; It was Liu Laosan who took the initiative to lead the army westward. It was clear that he wanted to bite him and cover the retreat of the Chuji coalition army. There is a danger that the Economic Union Army will bite back.

When discussing countermeasures, Hu Zhe, a confidant who has followed Peng Yue for many years, made a suggestion, saying: "Zhu Kingdom, the Western Chu bandits have fewer troops than us, and they are eager to go south to get rid of the pursuit of the King of Han's army. They will definitely be eager to fight. , I hope to defeat us as soon as possible. In this case, we might as well fulfill their wish and fight them to the death under Chengqiu City. As long as we defeat them, we can not only avenge the last fiasco in Zhang County, but also free up our hands Come and entangle the main force of the Western Chu bandit army to buy time for the King of Han's army."

"No risk!" Liu Laosan's fellow villager Yong Chi, who joined Peng Yue's army in Fengyi, immediately objected, saying: "Don't underestimate Liu Ji, he is not only cunning, but also good at using soldiers. Cao Shen and the others are tough generals. Although we have more troops than them, we are not very sure of victory in a decisive battle. The best way is to avoid the enemy's sharp edge and give up riding south as soon as possible. Get rid of Liu Jipifu first, and then find a way to entangle the Western Chu bandits."

"General Yong, why build up other people's ambitions and destroy our prestige?" Hu Zhe said unconvinced: "The Western Chu bandit army fled back after a big defeat in Qidi. We don’t have much morale and fighting spirit, and our troops are not as strong as ours. How can we be confident in a decisive battle head-on?”

"General Hu, don't underestimate the enemy." Yong Chi shook his head again and said, "I know Liu Ji very well. What he is good at is winning people's hearts and boosting morale. It's best not to fight him hard."

Hu Zhe and Yong Chi couldn't stop arguing, and the ball naturally kicked in front of Peng Yue, but to Yong Chi's disappointment, Peng Yue still chose to accept the opinion of his old subordinate Hu Zhe, saying: "Hu Zhe's words make sense. , The Western Chu bandit army is an army rebuilt after a big defeat. Its morale is not high, and there must be many injuries and illnesses in the army. Even if there are a few strong generals in command, its combat effectiveness will definitely not be as good as before. We will fight them head-on and win. It's a big deal!"

"Pillar Kingdom..."

Yong Chi wanted to persevere, but was interrupted by Peng Yue waving his hand, and then Peng Yue said: "General Yong, I know that you also have good intentions, but there is no way, the order given by the King of Han is to entangle the Xichu bandit army tightly, if we don't do it as soon as possible If we kill Liu Jipifu, we will not be able to fulfill the orders given by the King of Han, so we must take a risk."

Seeing that Peng Yue persisted and brought out the order issued by his idol Xiang Kang, Yong Chi had no other choice but to bite the bullet and clap his hands and sing promises with other Peng Yue generals, and then Peng Yue even asked Jing Jia for a little instruction I didn't even bother to go through the cutscene, and immediately started to prepare for the decisive battle with Liu Laosan, preparing to wait outside Chengqiu City to wait for work, and to compete head-on with Liu Laosan, who had never seen Liu Laosan before at this historical level.

In fact, Peng Yue is not incapable of fighting a tough battle head-on. At noon the next day, when Liu Laosan led the Western Chu Army to the vicinity of Chengqiu, which was still more than ten miles away from the small city of Chengqiu, Peng Yue decisively led his troops to take the initiative to fight , forcing the exhausted Western Chu army to fight in the eastern suburb of Chengqiu, the result made Peng Yue, Hu Zhe and others secretly happy that the Western Chu army was as eager to fight as they expected. When they hit each other, they immediately lined up to meet Peng Yuejun's challenge head-on.

Unexpectedly, when the soldiers of the two armies were lining up, the Western Chu Army suddenly sent people to fly a white flag to the front of Peng Yue's army, and shouted at Peng Yue's soldiers: "Go and tell your Peng Zhuguo, just say you The Sima Yongchifu is the spy of the Han thief Xiang Kang'an in your army. He is ready to take down your Peng Zhu Kingdom and the King of Chu and dedicate it to the Han thief Xiang Kang! If you Peng Zhu Kingdom wants to believe it, believe it. Be careful yourself!"

After shouting these words, the envoys of the Western Chu Army immediately turned around and ran away, not daring to delay too much in front of Peng Yue's army formation, and the situation was soon reported to Peng Yue's flag formation. As a result, Jing Jia and Peng Yue were all expressionless when they heard it. Decisively ordered to announce that this was a rumor of alienation, and then Peng Yue snorted coldly in his heart: "Is it up to you, Liu Jipifu, to tell Naiweng about this? Back in Pengcheng, when Yongchipifu chose to join us in Chu, Naiweng Knowing that he must be the spy of the old man Li Shiqi who inserted Xiang Kang's traitor into Nai Weng's army!"

Peng Yue soon understood why Liu Laosan made such an unnecessary move. After the decisive battle officially started, the Western Chu Army, which had few troops, not only took the initiative to attack, but also directed the spearhead directly at the left wing of Peng Yue Army where Yongchi was located, and focused on storming Yongchi's flag. Although the soldiers under Yong Chi's command tried their best to resist in the direction where they were, Zhou Bo, the three generals of Liu Lao who led the attack helplessly, was extremely brave. , the pressure of the Yong tooth is hard to breathe.

Seeing this situation, Peng Yue had no other choice. In order not to misunderstand Yong Chi and arouse Xiang Kang's suspicion behind Yong Chi, Peng Yue could only deploy troops from the Chinese army to reinforce the left wing and help Yong Chi share the pressure. With the continuous increase of troops on the left wing, they were forced to move troops to the left one after another with refueling tactics, and gradually shifted their center of gravity to the left.

Of course, Liu Laosan, the old sparrow on the battlefield, did not do this aimlessly. He stormed the left wing that Peng Yue was forced to rescue, forcing Peng Yue to continuously transfer troops from the central army to reinforce Yong Chi. The troops stepped forward, rushing to the front of Peng Yue's central army at any cost, and won the opportunity to fight hand-to-hand with Peng Yue's central army. Then Fan Kui, the number one general under Liu Laosan's command, immediately led a thousand elites to charge and directly assaulted Peng Yue's central army. army position.

When covering Feng Zhong's army to break through, Peng Yue was forced to fight Xiang Yu in the hinterland of Xue County, and witnessed Xiang Yu's invincible majesty. Originally, Peng Yue always thought that there would be no second chance in this world. A similar pervert, it was only at this time that Peng Yue realized that he was wrong - there is indeed a pervert who is not very different from Xiang Yu in this world. ——This guy's highest record of beheading is 68 heads cut off by himself in one battle!

After rushing into the enemy group with the dog-butcher knife cheated from Xiang Kang in his hand, the black-fleshed Fan Kui can only be described as a Texas chainsaw madman. The soldiers of Peng Yue's army were killed with blood and flesh, screaming and falling to the ground. The elite of the Western Chu army behind them followed closely, using Fan Kui as the blade, like a sharp blade, directly inserted into the depths of Peng Yue's central army position, Invincible, no one can do it, Peng Yue's soldiers screamed again and again, they couldn't believe that there are such fierce generals in the world, and their morale plummeted. A large gap was torn in the top, opening the way for the rear army to advance.

Seeing this scene, of course Liu Laosan did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered the beating of drums to launch a general attack. He personally put on his clothes and led the remaining soldiers of the Western Chu Army to charge the enemy. The charging speed was much faster than usual, and the slashing was also extremely brave. Like a flood, it rushed directly into the gap that Fan Kuai had torn for them, and tore Peng Yue's central position in half in one go. Head towards the flag formation of Peng Yue and Jing Jia.

Seeing that the situation was not good, apart from regretting that he did not listen to Yong Chi's good advice, Peng Yue could only abandon the Golden Drum Banner quickly and fled westward with Jing Jia and the guards. The left wing of Peng Yue's army, which was fiercely attacked by the Western Chu army, also collapsed quickly, and fled in a mess in the direction of Chengqiu Town. Hong's main brigade of the Western Chu Army covered the retreat of the defeated troops.

Fortunately, although Peng Yue's army's ability to fight tough battles can only be described as barely passable, its ability to escape and transfer is one of the best in this era. , and completed the transfer preparations in a very short period of time, and quickly fled westward with the weapons, banners and some food and grass necessary for combat, and fled in great strides in the direction of Juyeze. The lingering posture quickly came westward to chase the main force of the army, perfectly interpreting the essence of guerrilla warfare-run if you can't beat it!

It was only after fleeing westward for more than 20 miles that Peng Yue realized that he had met his nemesis this time. Liu Laosan's army, who had been chasing after him all the time, could still do it while advancing at high speed. Barely keeping the formation in order, Peng Yuejun never gave Peng Yuejun a chance to turn around and fight back, and he also bit his own army's tail tightly, making it impossible for his own army to escape the pursuit. Peng Yue had no choice but to bite the bullet and order Hu Zhe to turn around and fight , Gain time for the main force of the self-army to distance themselves, and then meet at Renkeng, and use the gecko tail-docking tactic to get rid of the Western Chu army's pursuit.

Fortunately, although Hu Zhe's tactical advice misled Peng Yue to make a wrong decision, he had nothing to say about his loyalty to Peng Yue. After decisively turning back to fight, he really gave Peng Yue a chance to throw off his pursuers, but when night fell, When Hu Zhe finally fled to Renkeng to join Peng Yue with the defeated soldiers, less than half of the [-] soldiers he led were left.

Then, while the exhausted Hu Zhe was munching on dry food, Peng Yue also hurriedly discussed the countermeasures with his subordinates present, and took the initiative to apologize to Yong Chi with grace, admitting that he did not listen to Yong Chi's harsh advice, which caused the Today's battle was defeated.The black and short Yong Chi waved his hand to say no, and asked: "Zhu Guo, what should we do next? Shall we withdraw to Ju Ye Ze and regroup?"

If it was changed to normal times, then needless to say, Peng Yue, the founder of guerrilla warfare, must have chosen to withdraw his troops immediately, fleeing back to Juyeze to preserve his vitality, but the situation is different now. He also hinted that this is the last chance for Jing Jia and Peng Yue, and secondly, the overall situation of the world has been decided, and the only option left for the Western Chu Army is to shrink southward. The Peng Yue Army based in Juyeze He was about to lose his strategic and tactical value, and he was doomed to never have any opportunities to perform. After the Han army destroyed Chu, it would definitely be impossible to return the land of Chu to Jing Jia and make Peng Yue the overlord of Chu.

It was because of these considerations that Peng Yue could only resolutely put aside the tempting idea of ​​withdrawing to Juyeze, and said: "You can't go back to Juyeze, the King of Han's order is very clear. Explain, no matter what method we think of, we have to entangle the main force of the Western Chu thief army to buy time for General Zhou."

"What Zhu Guo said is very true." Jing Jiada, who didn't need to fight in person, nodded, and asked impatiently: "Zhu Guo, what shall we do?"

After careful consideration for a while, Peng Yue made up his mind and said, "Go to Rencheng, grab a handful of food and grass there, cross Sishui there, and then go west to Zou County, find out the situation of the Western Chu bandit army before making a decision." .”

Jing Jia quickly nodded and applauded, and praised: "Zhu Guo's clever plan, our army was accidentally defeated today, and the Western Chu army must have thought that we would flee directly to Juyeze. They would never have thought that we would continue to advance eastward and go directly to Juyeze." Duan Chidao, if we go directly to Zou County, it will definitely surprise the Western Chu bandits."

Logically speaking, this should indeed be the case. After Chengqiu suffered a big defeat, the Western Chu army would definitely think that Peng Yue's army had no choice but to flee back to the surrounding area of ​​Juyeze, which is complex in terrain.In fact, it seems to be the case. After more than two days, Peng Yue's army suddenly rushed to the Xiaoyi city of Rencheng on the west bank of Surabaya, and killed Rencheng. Fleeing, let Peng Yue's army rush into the city to replenish a handful of food and grass, and then passed through Surabaya smoothly.

However, what happened next was far beyond what Peng Yue and the others had expected. After successfully crossing Surabaya, they headed towards Zou County and made it halfway. Before the scout sent by Peng Yue to Zou County to investigate the enemy's situation came back to report the news, To the north was already a flag fluttering, and the dust and smoke rose to the sky. Liu Laosan's troops of the Western Chu Army, which had been thrown away by Peng Yue's army a few days ago, suddenly appeared in the north of Peng Yue's army like a magic soldier descending from heaven.

Seeing this scene, even the guerrilla genius Peng Yue couldn't help screaming, "How is it possible? How could Liu Jipifu come so fast? Even if it was the Xichu bandits from Rencheng who delivered the letter, he couldn't have crossed so quickly. After crossing Surabaya, he appeared directly north of us? Could it be that after we threw him away, he immediately crossed Surabaya and ran to the side of Chidao to wait for us?"

No one could answer Peng Yue's question, and Peng Yue didn't have time to carefully figure out why Liu Laosan came so fast. Knowing that he was invincible, Peng Yue could only resolutely give up going east to Zou County, and chose to let the general Luan Bu lead the army At the back of the palace, take the main force and retreat to the south-don't ask why you don't turn back, the Sishui Dahe can kill Peng Yue and Jing Jia!
Unfortunately, this time, Peng Yue's army failed to escape Liu Laosan's pursuit again. On the second day, after finally escaping to the Dongyou Mountain area where Luan Bu had agreed to meet, Peng Yue's army had not waited for the main force of Peng Yue's army to catch up. , Luan Bu had already fled with the defeated soldiers in a panic, followed by Liu Laosan's main brigade, Peng Yue had no choice but to take the defeated soldiers up the mountain in a hurry and defend , Temporarily avoiding Liu Laosan's edge, Liu Laosan was also very sensible and did not rush to attack the mountain, and decisively let the army rest on the spot at the foot of the mountain, waiting for Peng Yue's army to take the initiative to go down the mountain to die.

It was only at this time that Jing Jia and Peng Yue completely resigned themselves to their fate, knowing that the army had no hope of completing the mission assigned to them by Xiang Kang, and instead considered how to get rid of Liu Laosan and escape first. The terrain is complex, the mountains are dense, and there are many lakes (now Dushan Lake). It is not difficult to get rid of Liu Laosan, who has no advantage in troops, and pursue him. At the same time, there are soldiers who are familiar with the terrain in Peng Yue's army who can lead the way, so there is no need to worry about the complex terrain. However, when breaking through in that direction, Peng Yue encountered difficulties.
"Western Chu bandits are guarding the foot of the mountain. Father Kang can't go there, and Teng County certainly can't go there. It's open and far away from Juyeze. It's too dangerous to go there. There are two other ways, one is to get closer Fang Yu of Ju Ye Ze, the other is to Hu Ling, where should we go?"

When Peng Yue was discussing this issue with his subordinates and Jing Jia, Yong Chi and Hu Zhe, who had been fighting so hard last time, agreed very much this time. Go to Huling. Because Fang Yu is the closest to Juye Ze, and Liu Jipifu is extremely treacherous. As long as he finds that we have broken through, he will give priority to blocking our retreat to Fang Yu. We will not only easily be caught up by him , and the danger of being stopped by him."

"General Yong is right." Hu Zhe immediately echoed: "Fang Yu is the closest to Juyeze, and the Xichu bandit army must give priority to blocking the road there. Only by going southwest to Huling can we get out of the West Chu banditry." Army's expectations, get rid of their pursuit."

After thinking about it carefully, he found that this was the reason, and seeing that everyone had the same opinion, Peng Yue quickly made up his mind, nodded and said, "Okay, then go to Huling."
