"Don't stop, shoot them all!" Xiang An opened his bow and nocked an arrow, his hole shrinking slightly. Although there was heavy snow in front of him, it couldn't stop the arrow from finding its target.
There are not many defenders on the city walls in Tong County, and even more so in the snowy weather.
"General!" Liang Ning shouted, "There has been a riot in the county!"
The defenses on the battlements have basically been cleared, and the city gates are still closed despite the heavy snow, but...
"That's enough, retreat!" Xiang An put his Thousand Step Horn Bow back behind him, shouted expressionlessly, then turned his horse's head and ran away.
"drive--!"
"drive!"
The three generals did not hesitate, stopped and followed.
"General, what's the point of doing this?" Wei Hao followed Xiang An, shouting and asking, even though it was winter, he was exhausted and sweating all over.
"It's very simple. This is a steady attack. If you move steadily, the enemy will be in chaos!" Xiang An controlled the rapid speed and slowed down a little. The speed of the rapid speed was much faster than the good horses of Zijuan and the others. If the speed was not reduced, The other three couldn't keep up at all. "Although our sheep attack will not cause real damage to the enemy and the losses will be very small, it can change their stable and stable mentality."
"In short, make them afraid!"
"Suspicion, worry, panic, this is our purpose!"
"The reason why we, Xi Chu, can win every battle and be invincible is because we have many soldiers and horses and sufficient food and grass. But the key is that we have never been afraid of any enemies! Even if we face the 400,000 Qin troops under Julu City, we will not retreat. , Perseverance will play a very important role in a war. This is the key to morale and the foundation for victory."
"And now we are going to dig up and break this foundation! If we can make the enemy fearful, then the enemy will retreat without a fight without our troops coming to the city."
"So...that's it..." Wei Hao and Liang Ning nodded together, indicating that they understood Xiang An's intention, while Zijuan lowered her head and thought, as if she was deducing something.
Xiang An turned his head and glanced at Zi Juan, smiled with satisfaction, and continued: "But this method is not very useful in peacetime. Even if it is useful, it is of little significance when the strength of the troops is huge. This The reason why it can be useful is because of the heavy snow."
"All kinds of strategies must be used in the right situation and on the right person. Xiaosi, remember to use your brain on the battlefield in the future."
"...I understand, second brother." Zijuan pursed her lips and nodded.
Liang Ning and Wei Hao looked at each other on horseback and sighed together.
There are two things in the Western Chu army that are extremely valuable, but now it seems that they have nothing to do with them.
One is Zijuan's heart, well...just think about it.
As for the other one, it's Xiang An's guidance. It's not bad now. Although he's not being taught, it's nice to have some experience beside him.
...
"Yongqiu or Waihuang are not suitable for the time being. The geographical advantage is still too great. Moreover, after the general comes, our number of soldiers and horses will not be advantageous. Even if spring begins, it will be difficult to attack." A strong man The man stood next to Xiang Yu, crossed his chest and sighed, "It's difficult to go west..."
His name is Chen Ping, a general in the Western Chu army.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Chengwu Military Camp was a bit depressing.
A group of generals gathered around the sand table. You looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn’t know what to say.
Due to the long-term garrison, many generals were sent out by Xiang Yu to guard against the sneak attacks of the princes, and were stationed in the cities around Chengwu to guard against Changshan and South Korea.
"Fortunately, the general has shared the pressure from the north. I hope there is good news from the general..." Jiang Chun sighed.
"It's okay. I've already received the information." Xiang Yu, who was leaning over to observe the sand table, straightened up and swept his calm and oppressive eyes over the generals of Xi Chu. The generals who were caught lowered their heads involuntarily. , dare not look at Xiang Yu.
It's not that Xiang Yu's eyes are ferocious, but they are calm enough to be extremely oppressive.
"This is the information from Xiang An. According to the report from his spies, because the North Route Army's attack direction is Boyang, Changshan King Zhang Er seems to have dispatched part of his army to support Jibei. Unfortunately... ....It’s a little slow.”
As Xiang Yu spoke, he walked to his seat and sat down. He poured a glass of hot water and took a sip.
"Then Tian An should be grateful for the heavy snow. If it weren't for the heavy snow, Boyang would have been defeated by the general." Chen Ping shook his head regretfully. As a person who understands the art of war, he admires and respects Xiang An the most. of.

"That's wrong, this heavy snow seems to be helping Tian An, but actually... it's helping us." Xiang Yu shook his tea cup with a slight smile on his face.
"This..." Several generals looked at each other, wondering what Xiang Yu meant.
Chen Ping frowned and thought about the details of the situation.
"It's true that Xiang An would have captured Boyang if it weren't for the heavy snow, but... if that were the case, Zhang Er's support wouldn't be able to reach Jibei." Xiang Yu picked up a bundle of bamboo slips on the eucalyptus platform. , shook it, "Twenty thousand reinforcements have left South Korea's defense line, don't you understand?"
Hearing Xiang Yu's words, all the generals in the camp's eyes lit up.
"There was civil strife in the Three Qi Dynasties, and Tian soldiers attacked Tian City. Neither Qi nor Jiaodong could support Ji Bei. Tian An had no choice but to ask for help from Changshan or Han, but... Zhang Er and Zhang Liang had to support him. .”
Throwing the bamboo slips aside, Xiang Yu drank the tea in one gulp with a smile on his face.
"The pressure from the general's offensive is too great." Jiang Chun also smiled and shook his head, "You are worthy of being a general. Just attacking Jibei forced the Changshan countries in the center to dilute their defenses."
"In that case, Your Majesty, this is our chance." Chen Ping took a step forward and looked at Xiang Yu with excitement.
"I know that the situation in the Central Plains can affect the whole body. Now crossing the Wenshui River is our best choice." Nodding, Xiang Yu stood up and returned to the sand table.
"Let's... attack here."
He pointed at a coordinate on the sand table and said with a stern expression.
The generals looked at the city Xiang Yu pointed at and held their breath involuntarily.
Ding Tao.
At that time, Xiong Xin was still King Huai of Chu, and Western Chu suffered an unprecedented defeat in Dingtao. The general at that time, Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, and Xiang Liang, the uncle of Xiang An, the general of Western Chu, died in Dingtao. A battle in Dingtao.
"We want to get back all the things we threw away in Dingtao."
Xiang Yu raised his head, and the corners of his mouth turned into a bloody angle.
"Attack Dingtao..."
"If you win, you will massacre the city."
