There are actually not many ferries on the south bank of the river, from Xingyang in the west to Dongjun in the east. However, Xiang An chose Baima City to the east instead of the ferry farther west. Obviously when attacking Anyang from the west, he included crossing the Huan River. time will be more convenient.
"This is to prepare for future strategies." Xiang An said to Han Xin, shaking his head as he spoke, "The ferry we really need now is not a large ferry like Xingyang or Pingyin. What we need is stability. "
"The west side is not only close to Xianyang, but also where many rivers gather. The rivers, Shaoshui, Fenshui, Luoshui, Yinshui, Jushui, Wenshui. There are so many big rivers with names alone. The waterways are complicated and bring about There are too many variables." Xiang An pointed to the location of Baima City, "The location of Baima is very simple. It is right on the edge of the river. There is no big river except river water next to it."
"But in this case, we are not..." Han Xin frowned, as if he wanted to say something.
"Hey, Old Han, please listen to me first." Xiang An raised his hand and pressed it, signaling Han Xin to shut up.
"There are many waterways on the west side. Even if our Western Chu army is good at water warfare, the strength is not enough to fully control it. We only have less than 10,000 people, old Han." Xiang An looked sad and slowly lowered his hand. Move it and put it on the table.
When he led the army to separate from Xiang Yu, he indeed brought out more than 10,000 people. To be precise, it was 11,554 people. These 11,554 people were Xiang An was also included.
But now, the number of people left is 9,781, and among these people there are hundreds of seriously injured people. As for minor injuries, they are not considered injuries on the battlefield.
It goes without saying where the others have gone.
"So...General, are you planning to control a simple city to prevent the leakage of information?" Han Xin didn't care much about these losses. War and undead people are nonsense, not to mention that in Han Xin's view, the battle of Xiang An's army The loss ratio is simply pitiful. If not, he would not follow Xiang An wholeheartedly.
Xiang An nodded: "We can't let the Qin army in the west know about our change of attack route across the river, nor can we let the general in the east know about it. Only when the enemy and friendly forces are stunned at the same time can we call it a surprise attack."
"Even if the general will blame you afterwards?" Han Xin's eyes looked a little strange.
He was not a fool, so he could naturally see why Xiang Yu arranged for Xiang An to fight all the way west.
Xiang Yu attacks Zhang Han in the north. Let's assume that Xiang Yu wins for the moment, and then turns around and heads west, from Hangu Pass to Guanzhong. Is this route fast?
Maybe not slow, but compared with Liu Ji's offensive line, it is definitely quite slow, even a turtle speed, especially since Xiang Yu is still not sure whether he can win against Zhang Han. Even if he wins, then Zhang Han It's not a simple role, and it can't be solved in a few moments. Xiang Yu will definitely be involved for a while.
Therefore, sending Xiang An at this time, in addition to the meaning of a surprise attack, naturally means that Xiang Yu wants to fight Zhang Han and reach Guanzhong one step faster than Liu Ji. It will definitely be faster than Liu Ji's 40,000 people.
Xiang An was silent for a moment and shook his head: "I can't control so much now. Zhang Han is always a big worry. If Zhang Han is not eliminated, the Qin Dynasty will not die, and the world will be in trouble. The most important thing is to eradicate the cancer in the Central Plains."
"As for the agreement between the general and Liu Ji..." Xiang An looked hesitant on his face and gritted his teeth, "The general is definitely more suitable for the position of leader of the world than him!"
"At worst, I'll be shameless once!"
"You——" Han Xin was speechless and choked, "are you so optimistic about the general?"
His opinion of Xiang Yu is quite big.
Go west and compete with Liu Ji for the king of Guanzhong? That's nonsense. If you beat 30,000 to 100,000, you think you will win. Why are you so stubborn? Moreover, the orders he gave were firm and decisive, and it didn't hurt his back to speak while standing.
Han Xin really couldn't figure out what Xiang Yu could do to make Xiang An do his best.
Could it be because he is the eldest brother Xiang An?
"That's my eldest brother." Xiang An read it again, and Han Xin felt a little numb.
"I beat the white horse not only because the white horse is easy to control, but also because I want to avoid unnecessary losses." Xiang An shook his head and did not dwell on the issue of King Guanzhong. Although he said it was shameless, in fact He still... wants to keep some of it.
"...Okay, just do what you want. What I thought before was still a bit too simple." Han Xin felt uncomfortable for a long time before he recovered, and nodded, which was regarded as acknowledgment of Xiang An's decision. Strategy for attacking White Horse City.
But now when he heard Xiang An say, "That's my eldest brother," his head hurt, and the pain shot through his body.
"Let's clean up. Calculate the time. It's almost time for the general to prepare to attack Dong'a. We have to capture the white horse before the general conquers Dong'a." Xiang An stood up and sighed, stretching himself cervical vertebra, "We'll set off tomorrow morning."
Always looking down at the sand table, even if the body is an artificial human, it can't stand it.
...
the next day.
Xiang An's calculation of time was absolutely correct. Before dawn, a war broke out under Dong'a City.
The Qin army in Dong'a City was neither blind nor deaf. They must have heard about Xiang Yu's army going north and prepared corresponding preventive measures.
But even so, it could not withstand Xiang Yu's power.
Since Xiang Liang's death, Xiang Yu's way of leading his army to fight has become "Xiang An".
Riding on the tall and strong Kiyun Wuzui with shiny black fur, Xiang Yu took the lead and rushed to the front of the army, dominating the direction of the entire war. Before that, Xiang Yu's fighting methods were similar to other generals.
The reason for adopting such a combat method was that Xiang Yu made the decision after analyzing his own combat effectiveness.
"With the strength of Xiang An and I, we can still lead a war where the gap is not too big." Xiang An muttered silently, and the Tianlong city-breaking halberd reached forward from his hand. The Qin army guard who was fighting out of the city, In less than two rounds, he was pierced by Xiang Yu's halberd and fell to the ground.
"Siege wood! Come on!" He roared, his tone showing coldness.
"Yes!" The siege team quickly pushed forward and began to hit the city gate.
Zi Huai disguised himself as a slightly short Chu soldier and stayed near Zi Juan, obviously wanting to protect Zi Juan.
but......
The weapon he uses well is a dagger, which was trained in that kind of high-pressure environment. His skills may be sufficient, but for physical strength... let this malnourished boy go.
In short, he is now fighting back and forth with Qin soldiers, and the situation is full of danger...
Zijuan rode on horseback, shot a Qin soldier through the chest, and shouted sternly at the short Chu soldier: "This is a battlefield! Be more serious!"
Then he quickly rode away, leaving behind a stunned Zi Huai.
