"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the front. Last night, the rebels and the Young Master's army fought ten miles outside Chencang City. The battle was fierce!"
"Your Majesty, the rebels have arrived at Chencang City. Young Master Hao is sitting alone in the empty city, calmly dealing with tens of thousands of rebels!"
"Your Majesty, Prince Hao is so powerful that he can scare away tens of thousands of rebels by himself!"
"Your Majesty"
Listening to the military information from the front reported by the commander-in-chief every half hour, Ying Zheng's expression changed again and again, and he didn't know what words to use to describe his mood.
He has already experienced Zhao Hao's magic.
But he never thought that Zhao Hao would be so courageous.
In his eyes, this kid has always been synonymous with fear of death.
And he also threatened Zhao Hao with death more than once.
But now, when he heard the military report coming from the front, he suddenly realized that he still didn't understand Zhao Hao well enough.
This kid is bolder than he thought.
"Haha, it does look like a shadow of my past."
Ying Zheng smiled for no reason, turned to look at Wang Ling, and continued: "Wang Ling, what do you think of my son's empty city plan?"
"If I were that Xiang Yu, I would never retreat!"
Wang Ling muttered: "This strategy is not something ordinary people can use. It is the right time, place and people. I think Young Master Hao knows that Xiang Yu very well."
"Yes, that kid wants to kill him. Maybe this feather is a real threat to Da Qin."
As he spoke, Ying Zheng's face became extremely serious and he said in a deep voice, "Even Ying Chenglong attaches great importance to this person."
"this"
Wang Ling was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
He only knew a little about Ying Chengyu.
But Ying Zheng did not continue to ask what he meant. He raised his head and looked at Chencang County in front of him. He pondered for a while, then waved his hand and said:
"We are not going to Chencang, we are going to Zhouzhi to cross the river!"
"Ah? This"
Wang Ling was slightly surprised and looked at Ying Zheng with some confusion.
Just now, he was anxiously concerned about Zhao Hao's safety, but now that he knows his son is fine, he disappeared just because he said he didn't see him?
It’s really hard to understand how worthy this father is!
As if aware of Wang Ling's strange gaze, Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "This world belongs to me, so you can't rely on my son for everything, right? I don't like to always hide behind!"
As he spoke, his eyes gradually became cold, and he sighed in a solemn tone: "I thought it was just a group of petty thieves causing trouble, but I didn't expect that even the Imperial Army betrayed me. This really surprised me."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Lieutenant Yang."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything. I believe in Yang Duanhe's loyalty."
"this"
Wang Ling opened his mouth but hesitated, feeling bitter in his heart.
His Majesty said he believed in Yang Duanhe's loyalty, but did not mention Yang Duanhe's dereliction of duty. I am afraid that Yang Duanhe will not be able to hold the post of lieutenant.
As the first and second leaders of the Forbidden Army, Yang Duanhe is in the front and Wang Ling is in the back.
Therefore, Yang Duanhe was the commander-in-chief of the front army, and Wang Ling was the commander-in-chief of the rear army.
No matter which army it is, the Qin army is divided into front, middle, rear, left and right generals. Only when fighting, there are generals, that is, generals.
In the Qin State, the only people who served as generals and generals were Wang Jian and Meng Tian.
Now that Yang Duanhe may lose his position as lieutenant, it is very likely that he will succeed him as lieutenant.
But he didn't want to be a lieutenant at all, because although the lieutenant was one of the Nine Qings and was in charge of a hundred thousand forbidden troops, he could not send troops to fight and could only defend the imperial city.
For example, the battle of conquering Baiyue in the south, or the battle of conquering Jiuzhou, the lieutenant had no chance to participate.
But Wang Ling wanted to participate.
Because he wanted to benefit future generations, even if he couldn't be crowned king, it would be better to get a real fiefdom.
At the same time that Ying Zheng ordered the route to be diverted to the crossing of the river, Zhao Hao in Chencang City happened to receive the news that Ying Zheng was coming, and he couldn't help but suddenly realized.
Although Xiang Yu's withdrawal was expected by him, he still felt a little unsure. After all, Xiang Yu was not Sima Yi.
But now that he heard the news of Ying Zheng's arrival, he finally understood Xiang Yu's concerns, and he was probably worried that he might be attacked from multiple sides.
However, it was precisely because of his worries that this 'empty city plan' was prompted.
To be honest, looking back now, Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel a little scared.
If Xiang Yu, that 'reckless man', really rushes into the city desperately, he will have no choice but to hate the northwest.
"Come here, pass my order and go out of the city to meet my father!"
As soon as Zhao Hao got the news, he ordered outside the door.
At the same time, he arranged his robes and prepared to welcome the First Emperor.
However, not long after his order was conveyed, Mond brought new news.
"Sir, there is no need to prepare. Your Majesty is going to Zhouzhi to cross the river!"
Mond stepped forward and said.
Zhao Hao was slightly stunned and couldn't help but said, "Why did my father go to Zhouzhi to cross the river? Didn't Xiang Yu have a decisive battle with Han Xin?"
"I don't know this either. His Majesty ordered Zhao Gao to send someone to deliver the news."
"Where are they now?"
Mond said: "We should be arriving at Mei County soon!"
"Mei County?"
Zhao Hao frowned, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go too!"
"Where to go?"
Mond pressed.
Zhao Hao glared at him angrily and said impatiently: "Kill Xiang Yu!"
After saying that, he picked up his skirt and rushed straight out the door.
Seeing this, Mond scratched his head subconsciously and couldn't help but muttered: "Could it be that His Majesty also went to kill Xiang Yu?"
"Hey, why are you still standing there! Let's go!"
"Oh oh oh, here we come."
On the other side, Zhouzhi crosses the river mouth.
Knowing that Xiang Yu was coming towards him, Han Xin waited for work. He first observed the river topography in the Zhouzhi area, then chose to set up camp on the west bank of the river crossing, and ordered his soldiers to prepare tens of thousands of sandbags and secretly stockpile them in the upper reaches of the tributaries of the Wei River.
When Xiang Yu passed by Mei County, Han Xin immediately sent an order to open part of the blocked water flow and let it flow like a stream.
In the afternoon, Han Xin and Yang Duanhe acted as planned.
Han Xin still used himself as bait and took the initiative to attack Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu had long wanted to confront Han Xin head-on. Faced with Han Xin's active attack, he went forward without thinking.
With the high morale of the rebels and his own bravery, he not only withstood Han Xin's attack, but also defeated Han Xin steadily, and finally returned to the camp to defend.
Seeing this, Xiong Kai said to Xiang Yu with a face full of joy: "The ability of the young general is definitely not comparable to that of Meng De. How can Han Xin defeat the young general!"
"hehe."
Xiang Yu smiled noncommittally, and at the same time felt extremely happy, and immediately ordered:
"Kill Han Xin quickly to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
"promise!"
Xiong Kai promised and rode out.
The rebels behind him were like locusts crossing the border and launched a general attack on Han Xin.
Upon seeing this, Han Xin moved three thousand black armors to the front of the formation, each holding crossbows and bows, shooting at the rebels at a 45-degree angle.
A hail of arrows fell, causing countless casualties.
The Qin Army's arrow array was so powerful that it was the Qin Army's arrow array that allowed the Great Qin Empire to unify the world.
However, the Qin Army's arrow array did not rely solely on crossbow arrows, but also relied on various arrows.
The Qin crossbow is also divided into two types: body-stretched and arm-stretched.
Chu Zhang is shot with a foot-operated bow. Generally, this type of bow shoots farther and is suitable for long-distance attacks.
When their bows and arrows fly, they often make a sound of breaking through the air. This is one of the reasons why the Qin army shouted "strong wind, strong wind" in front of the station.
However, because its rate of fire is not high, it can only be used in positional warfare.
The arm-opening crossbow is the most common Qin crossbow, suitable for close combat and mounted combat.
Seeing that Han Xin only focused on defense and no longer fought with him, Xiang Yu became furious:
"Han Xin, you thief, I think you have the appearance of a famous general, and you want to compete with me for the world, but you don't even have the courage to stand up and fight with me, you are really a coward!"
"Xiang Yu, I don't even bother to fight with you. You are a reckless man. Only a reckless man would force others to fight! I will tell you that today is the day you die!"
Facing Xiang Yu's scolding, Han Xin looked calm and even said with some disdain.
Xiang Yu has never been so aggrieved in his life. Hearing this, he immediately became furious and cursed again: "I spared your life back then, but you didn't want to repay kindness, but actually repaid kindness with hatred. You, Han Xin, are a complete villain!" "
"If you don't kill me, I can only say that you are stupid. Didn't your uncle teach you how to be kind and not to wield troops? Oh, by the way, your uncle is dead and has no chance to teach you!"
"you!"
Xiang Yu was so angry that Han Xin gritted his teeth and was furious.
The soldiers around him also looked at each other in shock, thinking that Han Xin was really cheap.
Xiong Kai on the side quickly rode forward and comforted Han Xin: "Major General, don't fall into Han Xin's trick, kill the enemy quickly!"
"Um!"
Xiang Yu nodded heavily, murderous intent bursting out of his eyes, and led Xiong Kai straight towards the river crossing.
Seeing this, Han Xin shouted again: "Xiang Yu, you fool, you have fallen into the trap, it's not too late to surrender now!"
"snort!"
Xiang Yu snorted coldly and stopped talking to Han Xin.
His army is overwhelming. As long as it breaks through the river crossing, Han Xin will be unable to fly. He will not believe that he has fallen into a trap or something.
Because the terrain around the river crossing is flat and there are no dense forest hills, it is impossible to hide the ambush.
"Kill them all!"
Xiang Yu pointed his iron halberd and roared loudly.
"kill--!"
The morale of the rebels was greatly shaken, and they rushed towards Han Xin in a dark atmosphere.
"Two hundred steps!"
"One hundred and fifty steps!"
"One hundred steps!"
"Prepare."
"Raise your shield!"
Xiong Kai, who was rushing at the front, saw Han Xin's posture and thought he was going to set up an arrow formation again. He immediately took a step ahead of him and ordered the shield soldiers to raise their shields to defend.
Who would have thought that Han Xin would directly order Heijia to withdraw from the river crossing.
Before Xiong Kai could react, a roar suddenly came from behind him.
Then the river surged.
Objectively speaking, it is early spring and the amount of water will not be very large. However, due to long-term water storage, some people should drown.
However, this sudden river water has the same effect as a desperate fight. It is not intended to drown you, but to kill people and kill your heart.
The surging river water quickly flooded the river crossing and divided Xiong Kaijun and Xiang Yujun into two parts.
At this time, Xiong Kaijun, who had crossed the river mouth, became a lone army with his back deep into the water.
The rebels were immediately demoralized.
This time it was Xiong Kai's turn to fight against the odds.
But he doesn't have Han Xin's ability, nor Han Xin's arrangements, and he doesn't even know Han Xin's lines.
By the time Xiong Kai was ready to fight to the death, Han Xin had already defeated him.
Xiong Kai himself was also killed among the rebels.
Xiang Yu was horrified. He couldn't believe that such a thing could happen. He was stunned on the spot.
The rebels behind him who were preparing to rush to the river crossing were so frightened that they forgot to rush.
Everyone was in a mess, looking at their comrades struggling in the river.
"Major General, what should we do now?"
One of Xiang Yu's personal guards shouted in shock.
Xiang Yu reacted for a moment, then immediately turned his horse's head and shouted at the soldiers: "Retreat, get out of here quickly!"
However, just as Xiang Yu's front army changed to his rear army, and his rear army changed to his front army, and was preparing to evacuate along the river crossing, Yang Duan and his cavalry suddenly rushed out, killing and wounding his rear army numerous times.
At this moment, Xiang Yujun was completely in chaos.
However, this is not the worst case scenario.
The worst thing was that shouts of killing suddenly came from all around Xiang Yu. When he looked up, the first thing he saw was Ying Zheng's black dragon flag, followed by the reinforcements that Wei Liao had found.
The total strength exceeds 100,000.
At this time, Xiang Yu came to a desperate situation again.
Although he has long been familiar with this kind of desperate situation, now it is different from the past. Facing the Qin army with nearly ten times his own strength and no general in hand, even if he is brave enough, it will be difficult to break through the encirclement.
You know, when Liu Bang gathered 300,000 troops and handed them over to Han Xin to encircle and suppress Xiang Yu, he was besieged on all sides. Xiang Yu relied on his generals to still break through the layers of siege, and 28 cavalry rushed to Wujiang.
This kind of bravery, if left to the imagination of future generations, would definitely be like cheating.
But this is history.
Xiang Yu in history was indeed very powerful, this is a fact.
"Young General, let's go!"
The personal guard looked at Xiang Yu with a tragic face, his eyes extremely complicated.
Xiang Yu looked at the Qin army approaching from all sides, and finally set his sights on Ying Zheng's black dragon flag, and said solemnly: "I am determined to fight to the end and never survive. I hope you will fight with me happily. Fight to break through, capture the flag in World War II, kill Ying Zheng in War III;
May you all win three battles in a row and live your life in vain, how about that? "
"good!"
Everyone responded loudly and showed expressions of generosity in dying.
Xiang Yu divided the remaining 2,000 cavalry into seven teams, and each team went in one direction, waiting for the Qin army to encircle them.
Soon, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops surrounded Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu pointed to the swaying black dragon flag and said calmly: "I will lead a group of troops first and kill the generals of the Qin army. You will follow me to defeat the Qin army. Do you have the confidence?"
"have!"
Seeing Xiang Yu being so calm, the soldiers' morale improved a bit and they responded loudly.
Xiang Yu nodded with satisfaction and pointed to the east: "There are three highlands on the river bank over there. You three teams should go there and wait for me. If I kill Ying Zheng, the morale of the Qin army will be in chaos. Then you will come to my aid quickly. Don't do it." Love war!"
With that, he said to the other three teams: "Follow me and attack the flanks. Don't let the Qin army block our offensive!"
"promise!"
All the soldiers agreed and rode out according to Xiang Yu's plan.
Xiang Yu held an iron halberd, looked in the direction of Ying Zheng, and shouted: "Kill!"
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of cavalrymen rushed towards Ying Zheng.
