"Brothers, kill for me, this is the time to make great achievements!" The shouts of killing came like a tsunami, and they surrounded Liu Xiu and the others.
Tao Kan was riding on his horse, looking at the chaotic battlefield, and immediately shouted angrily: "Fire the arrow!"
"Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!" A rain of arrows from the sky rushed towards the back of the Chu army, and even a small part of the Xiang army was hit by Chi Yu.
This is the decisiveness that a famous general should have. As long as the gains are proportional to the losses, even if some sacrifices are made, so what?
Tao Kan, a famous general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, although he came from a poor background, he was both civil and military, capable of commanding troops and governing politics, and was proficient in everything. During his lifetime, he put down the uprisings of Chen Min, Du Tao, and Zhang Chang, and as the commander of the coalition forces, he put down the Su Jun rebellion, and made great achievements in stabilizing the regime of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Jingzhou under his rule was known in history as "the road that never picks up things". He is diligent in his official duties and does not like drinking or gambling, so he is praised by others. After the later general Guo Mo killed Liu Yin without permission, he immediately led his troops to conquer and captured Guo Mo and his son without spending a single soldier, which made him famous in the enemy country.
"What's going on?" Liu Xiu asked angrily, how could Xiang Yu still hide a group of troops?
The strength of the troops in his hands was not as good as the opponent's, only half of the opponent's, and he was able to defeat the enemy with just one breath. But now another enemy soldier came from behind them and made dumplings for them. If they didn't find a solution quickly, they would definitely lose this battle.
However, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. How can Liu Xiu have any extra troops?
At this moment, not only Liu Xiu was confused, Xiang Yu was also very confused. He had never ambushed such a troop beforehand, but now such a troop actually appeared!
"Brothers, reinforcements have arrived. Kill them all and behead the enemy generals. I will personally take credit for them after the war!" Long Qie, Yu Ziqi and others were refreshed during the hard battle and immediately boosted their morale. .
Although they didn't know when Xiang Yu hid such a soldier and horse, the sudden appearance of this soldier and horse was indeed one of their own. Therefore, this does not prevent them from taking this opportunity to fight back.
In fact, all the soldiers and horses brought by Xiang Yu, except for Jiang Xia and those sent to the south, are already here. This sudden appearance of soldiers and horses is really not his in advance. prepare.
After the incident in Jiangxia was reported back to Jingnan, Fan Zeng and Sun Shuao's superiors began to feel restless. If this incident was widely publicized, Xiang Yu's reputation would be ruined. If he attacked the city in the future, the other party would either stay away because of fear. Surrender, or fight to the death and fight to the end.
This is not the first time for everyone to deal with each other. Both Fan Zeng and Sun Shuao are very aware of Liu Xiu and Liu Yu's methods. With the abilities of these two people, it is impossible for them to be frightened by what happened in Jiangxia this time.
On the contrary, they will use this incident to further smear Xiang Yu. Whether it is because of fear of being killed or hatred, the soldiers and people of Jingzhou will inevitably be inspired to fight to the death by these two men.
If Xiang Yu fails to attack Jingbei this time, and the people in Jingbei have lost all their support, Xiang Yu will most likely not be able to find a chance to advance northward in his lifetime.
In desperation, Fan Zeng and Sun Shuao could only curse Xiang Yu for his incompetence and inadequacy, while trying their best to wipe Xiang Yu's butt and deal with his funeral affairs to ensure that he could successfully capture Jingbei this time.
Only then did Tao Kan's army of three thousand troops appear. These three thousand people are the elite of the army specially selected by Fan Zeng, and their combat effectiveness is guaranteed. These three thousand people were also the back-up men secretly prepared by Fan Zeng and Sun Shuao for Xiang Yu.
Although there are not many in number, the troops are capable and used properly, which can have the effect of changing the situation of the battle. Three thousand people are not too many. If there were more, the concealment of this soldier and horse would not be guaranteed.
And once this army loses its concealment and is exposed to the public, it will have basically no effect. Xiang Yu's troops are twice as many as the opponent's. On the surface, these three thousand more are not much, and these three thousand less are not much. Only by hiding them in secret can they play a real role.
If everything goes well for Xiang Yu, the soldiers and horses will return silently. Except for a few people, no one will know that the soldiers and horses have been to Jingbei. But if the war reaches a stalemate, this soldier will suddenly burst out at the critical moment and quickly open up the situation for the war.
Moreover, as a famous general, Tao Kan was also very good at timing, and he hit Liu Xiu's key point as soon as he started.
When he discovered that all Liu Xiu's troops had been dispatched, he took advantage of the stalemate to attack directly from behind to achieve the effect of a pincer attack from both front and rear, decisively catching the opponent off guard.
It can be said that Liu Xiu has fallen into such an embarrassing situation. If he really can't come back this time, he will not be defeated at the hands of Xiang Yu, but at the hands of Fan Zeng and Sun Shuao! These two people are scheming behind the scenes. Who in the world can guarantee that they can definitely catch them?
Of course, if he really failed in this battle, it could be said that he was defeated at the hands of Xiang Yan and Liu Biao. Who told Xiang Yan to leave such a good team for Xiang Yu, who were loyal even when they were outstanding in ability?
On the other hand, Liu Biao, while relying on his two brothers everywhere, also guarded against his two brothers everywhere, allowing his two brothers to maintain a balance in order to achieve the purpose of maintaining his own status. For example, the exchange of Nanyang and Jiangxia defense zones caused a lot of trouble for his two brothers!
"Brothers, our wives, children, and children are all watching us from behind. In this battle, if we don't win, we will die, if we don't win, we will die! Kill them all!" Liu Xiu roared angrily.
He cannot lose this battle. Once he loses, he will have nothing. Instead of doing this, he would rather fight to the end to win the slim chance of winning. If he couldn't succeed, he would die on the battlefield!
"Charge...!" Tao Kan carefully observed the battle situation in front of him, with a faint smile on his dark face.
As a famous general at that time, Tao Kan knew very well that Liu Xiu and Liu Yu's methods were indeed superb, inspiring the entire army to fight to the death, and indeed allowing them to increase their combat power in a short period of time.
However, no matter how long the breath lasts, there will be a time when it will weaken. Once the opponent's breath falls, they will die without a burial place, and there will no longer be a possibility of a comeback. But the appearance of Tao Kan was the catalyst that urged the other party to lose his temper as soon as possible.
