General Qin

Zhao Tuo ordered the whole army to stop, stop chasing the bait ahead, and set up camp in the open.

After a while, Meng Tian's troops in the rear came galloping to report the surprise attack that the Qin army encountered half a day ago.

In this battle, Meng Tian's tribe trapped and killed the Chu army, beheading more than 1,000 people on the spot, and captured more than 2,000 prisoners in the pursuit.

"There are quite a few tricks here. Not only did they send out fake soldiers to lure us, but they also made people set up obstacles on the way to intercept and kill two groups of Meng Tian's messengers. In the end, it was Zhongli who led the army to enter after the war. Those who blocked the way Chu people fled away. Otherwise, we would not have received the news."

Zhao Tuo laughed to the left and right. This time the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, but many Chu people were beheaded and captured. According to the accounts of those captives, the total number of this Chu army was around 10,000, and now it lost three or four thousand in the First World War, which is already a heavy blow.

"Although Xuanyu escaped, most of the scales and flesh on his body were cut off by our army. In the future, there will be no more power to disturb my supply of food and fodder. You can send someone to let our army's real food team speed up."

Zhao Tuo's headquarters originally had more than 20,000 people, and Wang Jian made up for it with 10,000 soldiers and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, adding up to 40,000.

This time the Qin army detoured Dongyang to attack Huaiyin, and it was necessary to save the enemy.

Zhao Tuo knew that if the main force of the Chu army was restrained by Wang Jian, he would definitely send partisans to attack his grain roads, so he was more prepared.

Just in case, and fearing that the Chu army would succeed in a sneak attack and cut off the Qin army's food and grass, Zhao Tuo divided the whole army's food and grass into two parts.

Among the 40,000 people, Zhao Tuo alone allocated 10,000 people to the rear to escort a large amount of food, grass and luggage, and asked Baimeng to send thousands of soldiers to guard them, and walked slowly.

This real food team was very slow, keeping a distance from the Qin army in front, and sent a large number of sentries to try their best not to let the Chu army find out. It was not until the Qin army killed the attacking Chu army that the real grain team could catch up.

Therefore, the number of Qin troops observed by the Chu army was only 30,000.

The convoy led by Meng Tian did carry some food and grass, which could provide food for the Qin army for half a month, but it was also a bait to seduce the Chu army.

As for the main force of the Qin army led by Zhao Tuo, each of them carried food for a few days to prevent them from eating if the Chu army did not attack.

Under such a complete calculation, Chu Jiang Jing Tong really took the bait. Of course, what made Zhao Tuo dumbfounded the most was that Jing Tong actually used a trick of insulting him by carving wood, which was really a big knife in front of Guan Gong.

"Fortunately, I'm playing Qiang Li's flag this time. If I show my own flag, Jing Tong will definitely not be fooled, let alone use my old tricks to deal with me. Hehe, this name is Qiang Li, but it is actually Zhao Li. Tuo's tricks are really good for shady people. No wonder that in the battle of Changping, King Qin wanted to replace Wang Lu with nothing, and the enemy was hard to defend against!"

Zhao Tuo and the generals laughed for a while, while sending out sentries to investigate the traces of the Chu army, while waiting for the follow-up Liang Mo to catch up.

When Meng Tian finished clearing up the results of the battle and the escorted food and grass caught up, Zhao Tuo ordered the whole army to leave camp and set off.

"According to the captives of the Chu army, the puppet king Xiong Qi is sitting in Huaiyin City, and the remaining Chu army has about 30,000 troops."

"With General Feng Wuze crossing the Huai River to contain Xiong Qi's troops, my partial division can go straight to Huai Yin, maybe capture him in a single battle, and complete the task that the King entrusted to me!"

Zhao Tuo's eyes were full of excitement.

He can clearly remember that just a year ago, Qin Wangzheng called him into the Qin Palace, and said to him personally: "Xiong Qi rebelled against Qin, and revenged for the widow, and the widow will let him die!"

Qin Wangzheng hated Xiong Qi far more than that Chu Wang.

As long as he, Zhao Tuo, can capture and kill Xiong Qi, the king's enemy, not only will he be promoted to a young master, but he will also be in the heart of the emperor, and he will have a bright future in the future.

"The whole army attacks, targeting Huaiyin!"

...

"I lost."

In a forest, Jing Tong's face was full of desolation.

Jing Tong was full of confidence in his attack this time, thinking that Qiang Li was not worth mentioning. How could he know that this barbarian general from the west was as cunning as Zhao Tuo, and he used Jing Tong's tricks to lure the enemy to confuse the Chu army. Jingtong suffered such a big defeat.

After the defeat, the Chu army scattered and fled in all directions. Even though Jing Tong and Jing Ju, who arrived later, tried their best to gather them together, they finally gathered about 3,000 people.

Many Chu soldiers did not fall into the hands of the Qin army, but took advantage of the chaotic scene to escape separately, unwilling to work for this so-called "Chu country". There is the word "survival".

"Zuo Sima and General Xiang once said that the generals of Jingchu, on the day of their departure, have the honor of death, but not the disgrace of life."

"That's why he killed himself when he was defeated, in order to thank the king. Today I am defeated, and I have no face to see Ling Yin. I should thank you for this."

With a long sigh, Jing Tong drew out his sword.

"Brother!"

Jing Ju turned pale in shock, and immediately rushed forward and hugged Jing Tong's arm tightly, shouting: "Brother, An Neng can do such a foolish thing, my country of Chu is at the time of its collapse, and I want my brother who has experience in the battlefield The general leads the troops to fight. If the elder brother commits suicide here, who else can use under Ling Yin's command? Don't you see that after the death of Zuo Sima and General Xiang, our Chu army will have no more generals!"

"Brother, please stay useful and try to avenge Qin Jun!"

Jing Ju burst into tears and begged bitterly.

Seeing this, the short soldiers around all knelt down and kowtowed, begging: "Please also save General Jing a useful body to protect our country of Chu."

Jing Tong was stunned.

Jing Ju's words touched him.

Yes, if Zhaoping and Xiang Qu hadn't apologized and committed suicide after the defeat, then Xiang Yan would have been much more relaxed in the face of Wang Jian's army.

"If you have Zuo Sima and General Xiang leading the army this time, how can they be tricked by the Qiang? They will definitely defeat the Qin army."

Jing Tong murmured, he let go of his hand, and the sword fell to the ground.

"Let's go, we'll go see Ling Yin."

...

The good way is in the camp of Chu.

The gray-haired Xiang Yan sat with a blank expression.

"Ling Yin, the last general wanted to plan to destroy the Qin army's food and grass. In the end, he missed a move and was trapped and killed by Qin general Qiang. He was defeated. The last general was incompetent in this battle. Please punish him."

The Jing brothers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize.

Xiang Yan glanced at Jingtong, who was full of mourning, and sighed quietly: "Get up, on the battlefield, victory or defeat is impermanent, and if you lose, you will lose. That Qiang Li followed Wang Jian in the Yanzhao battle before, and he has never fought against me from Chu." Confrontation, you don't know its ability is normal."

Seeing that Xiang Yan didn't blame, the Jing brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

Jing Tong gritted his teeth and said: "Ling Yin, our army has lost this time, and Qiang Yan's side has no worries. He will definitely go straight to Huaiyin. This is the trend of killing my heart. What should we do now?"

Faced with Jing Tong's question, Xiang Yan did not answer, but motioned to Qu Mao who was next to him to speak.

Qu Mao said expressionlessly: "A few days ago, the fleet of the Qin State Navy entered the east of the Huai River and destroyed all the ships of our army on the Huai River. The army is tired of running."

"In the end, Feng Wuze, the Qin general in Huaibei, took advantage of our unpreparedness and sneaked across the Huaihe River east of Huaiyin. He had already boarded Huainan, and His Majesty was leading his troops to stop it. If Qiang Li attacked Huaiyin at this time, Your Majesty will We will face the enemy."

"hiss……"

When the Jing brothers heard this, they gasped.

Qiang Yan's going north is already a great danger to the current state of Chu. Unexpectedly, the Qin army led by Feng Wuze sneaked across the Huai River, so how could the Chu Wangqi in Huaiyin fight against the Qin army in such a pinching attack between the two armies!

After Qu Mao finished speaking, Xiang Yan sighed again.

"I originally wanted to use this land of water to contend with Wang Jian and stop the Qin army here. But that old thief is extremely treacherous. Every day he cuts reeds with his soldiers and makes a good move. Let me send troops here We are facing him in the water, but he is able to take advantage of his strength, divide his troops outside, and attack everywhere, attacking my rear, making it difficult for me to resist."

Xiang Yan said bitterly: "Now that Feng Wuze is crossing the Huai River, and Qiang is going northward, if he wants to attack Huaiyin together, it is useless for me to stick to the good way. If Huaiyin is lost, this place will be a place of death. At this moment, the only way is to lead the army to retreat , surrender Huaiyin, the land here can only be lost to that old thief Wang Jian."

"However, if our army retreats, after Wang Jian leads the army to take this place, the main force of the Qin army can go straight to Huaiyin along the Huai River. At that time, it will be in real danger of overthrow. Ten thousand people will be stationed here. The power of water and water will fight to the death against Wang Jian and the Qin army, and it will be delayed as long as possible! Who would like to stay here?"

Staying here to stop Wang Jian's main force will surely end in death.

Jing Tong shouted: "The final general wishes to stay here and make atonement for his crimes."

Before he finished speaking, Qu Mao said quietly: "General Jing is newly defeated. If he stays here, the soldiers will be terrified and difficult to serve. I'd better stay."

Jing Tong was stunned, his face flushed to the ears.

A defeated general doesn't even have the qualifications to lead an army to fight to the death.

"In that case, General Qu will lead the army to stay here and hold back Wang Jian. I will lead the army back to Huaiyin and help the king defeat the Qin army."

Xiang Yan issued the military order, her face covered with frost.

"We will not go in the direction of Huaiyin along the good road. I will lead the army diagonally into the road from Dongyang to Huaiyin, follow that Qiang Li, and kill him from the rear!"

"If Qiang Yan dies, then I will join forces with the king, and Feng Wuze, who came across the Huai River, will become a lone army and will be defeated by me sooner or later!"

...

In the camp of the Qin army west of Shandao, the Qin army's offensive in the direction of Shandao has come to an end today.

Ever since the partial division left Dongyang by detour, Wang Jian sent people to march along the Weidao path to Shandao every day. Marching all the way, he asked the soldiers to use farm tools to cut the roadside reeds, clearing the vision on both sides, and preventing them from being attacked by the Chu army.

In this way, it is very safe, and it is not easy to be attacked by the Chu army, but the price is that the advancement speed is very slow.

In addition, Xiang Yan often sent Chu people to harass, and even built earthen walls on the small roads as barriers. The Qin army could only use human lives to attack, causing the Qin army to suffer heavy casualties.

But Wang Jian didn't care. His greatest advantage was the large number of troops. No matter how big the loss here was, as long as Xiang Yan could be dragged here and the Qin army attacked Huaiyin, the whole situation would be completely opened.

After paying a lot of casualties on this day, the Qin army captured several walls of the Chu army, and even captured some prisoners.

In the big tent of the Qin camp, Wang Jian was calling the generals to discuss matters.

"Feng Wuze has successfully crossed the Huai River, and is now confronting the false king. As long as he can hold on to it, when Zhao Tuo's troops arrive, we can attack the false king together with him. This battle, we will be considered victorious. "

"Yes, the success or failure this time depends on General Zhao. However, the road to Dongyang is quite a long detour. There is no news from General Zhao this time. I wonder if he was attacked by the Chu army?"

Qiang Yan squinted his eyes, and felt uncomfortable when he heard Zhao Tuo's name. He was about to open his mouth to mock, when suddenly his nose itched and he sneezed loudly.

Its voice was so loud that all the generals were startled, even Wang Jian who was sitting on the chief seat trembled in fright, and dropped the bamboo slips in his hand on the desk.

"Nose itching is unbearable, forgive me."

Qiang Li smiled awkwardly.

For some reason, he has been sneezing these days, and his ears are often inexplicably red, which makes him puzzled.

Just when the situation was embarrassing, a general in charge of the front-line prisoners walked into the tent and reported: "General, our army has won a big victory!"

"According to the captives of Chu captured today, Chu general Jingtong led an army of 10,000 to attack our army, but was lured by General Qiang Lu with a strange plan. The Chu army was defeated and returned! General Qiang Lu is now marching into the Huaihe River..."

Speaking of this, the general suddenly saw Qiang Lu who was in the tent with a look of astonishment, and his eyes straightened.

He was excited for a moment because of the great victory told by the captive, but he forgot that Qiang Li was still in the army, so he followed the words of the captive from Chu to report.

Wang Jian and all the generals in the tent were also stunned for a long time, and then everyone realized that they couldn't help laughing, and they all looked at Qiang Li with playful faces.

"I am Qiang, have I won the battle?"

Qiang Li was full of confusion.

"Sitting here, how can I win the battle?"

"Why didn't I know about this?"

I checked Han Xin's birth year and found that Huai'an's official website advertised the first 231, but I don't know how to verify it. Judging from this, Han Xin is only one year younger than Xiang Yu. In the text, he should be 8 years old this year, which is really too young
