262 Danyang Army's Quilted Dumplings!
King Xiang Wu of Chu was furious by Chu Tianxiu's words.
What does it mean that a boat cannot cross the river?
What does it mean to return to Chu State and write a surrender book?
Xiaohun Hou brought 6,000 Danyang soldiers and dared to clamor with him in such a 100,000 army of Chu State. It was simply unreasonable!
He immediately dispatched troops and personally led 50,000 Chu troops to confront Danyang troops on the shore without moving on the ship.
He just ordered the boats to be farther away from the shore, about two hundred feet away, to prevent them from being bombarded by small steel cannons on the shore.
At this distance, you can attack and retreat.
If Xiaohunhou realizes that something is wrong, he wants to lead his troops to escape.
He could immediately order an army of 50,000 to land and pursue it quickly.
Another 50,000 Chu troops rode thousands of boats downstream for ten miles. They looked for a suitable place downstream and began to rush to the beach.
The 50,000 troops went around the back of the Danyang Army and attacked each other, causing Xiao Hunhou to be attacked from both sides and directly make dumplings.
One hundred thousand Chu troops besieged Danyang troops from all sides at the same time.
This is not a clever tactic, it is that there are few people who bully the Danyang Army and cannot divide the troops to guard the river bank.
Once these 6,000 Danyang troops are divided, the advantage of dense firepower will become weaker and cannot resist the Chu army at all. They will cross the river in many places and at many points.
Such a tactical arrangement is obviously very safe, with a steady victory and unbeaten.
"Even if Xiao Hunhou is a natural talent, he cannot withstand the siege of 100,000 troops from all directions."
"However, the Danyang Army's 'magic weapon' is quite amazing. After we attack Danyang County, we can rob craftsmen and take them back to Chu State to build a batch of gunpowder guns."
The generals of Chu said one after another.
"That's natural! If our Chu army can get this magical weapon and equip it with a hundred thousand troops, it will be enough to sweep the world!"
The King of Chu couldn't help feeling relieved.
He sat down on the deck of the building boat, a pair of tiger-skin seats, and started to drink refreshments.
...
Chu Tianxiu saw that the ships of the King of Chu's 100,000 troops were divided into two in the river, half of which remained, and the other half of which floated downstream, and he couldn't help but jumped in surprise.
Is this going to divide the troops across the river?
The King of Chu was obviously making a huge mistake!
The King of Chu must have thought that he only had six thousand Danyang soldiers in his hands and could not compete with the Chu army. Then he divided it into two and crossed the river separately.
But in fact, Li Yu was ambushing in the woods several miles behind the river, waiting for the fighter planes, with 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry.
The Chu army's division of forces was disconnected and it was difficult to support each other. Oh
It is absolutely possible to eat the 50,000 Chu troops who came ashore in one breath.
When Chu Tianxiu thought of this, he immediately said, "Zu'er, go and tell the princess, keep the troops still. Let 50,000 Chu troops come ashore to fight, don't let them escape back to the river."
"yes!"
Zuer immediately went to a forest several miles away to send an order, leaving Li Yu's 50,000 troops to remain in place and wait for the opportunity to fight.
...
On the banks of the river.
Six thousand Danyang soldiers were silent all the time, holding gunpowder guns in their hands, aiming at the surface of the river behind the miles-long horse.
River surface.
The King of Chu and the 50,000 Chu troops were also still moving in the river and confronted the Danyang army on the shore.
The scorching sun is in the sky.
The cicadas on the treetops by the river were screaming desperately.
Chu Tianxiu took out a water hyacinth and drank a big sip of water.
I came out in the morning and had a fight. Until noon, I had to take out a pancake from my pocket and bite a few bites to satisfy my hunger.
In the confrontation between the two armies, they obviously had no way to make rice, so they could only eat a few bites.
The Danyang soldiers also took out their dry food and ate a few bites.
On the tall building boat, King Xiang Wu of Chu sat in a comfortable seat, leisurely eating pastries on the table, drinking hot tea, pointing at Chu Tianxiu, and cursing:
"Xiao Hunhou, why are you doing this?
Eat dry food and bring thousands of soldiers to guard the world for the emperor? The emperor is in Jinling City himself, so he dare not come out, but he lets you work hard. He doesn't give you more soldiers.
This king cherishes his talents. As long as you are willing to serve this king, I will not blame you in the past. I will still grant you the title of the Three Duke and the Herald King.
Otherwise, when my army surrounds you, you are defeated and become a prisoner, it will be unfavorable. Even if I do not kill you, at most I will give you a little marquis to continue in front of you."
"King of Chu, it's not that I am looking down on you. You have a very sarcastic appearance and a dark face. You look like a short-lived prince. It doesn't seem like you can become an emperor!"
Chu Tianxiu smiled.
"Hmph, I don't know how to lift it up! After a stick of incense, I will see how hard you are?!"
King Xiang Wu of Chu was eating pastries on the boat, eating and drinking, and slapped his stomach with satisfaction.
Waited for half an hour.
But I saw that on the shore downstream, a huge Chu army had landed and headed towards the Danyang army, preparing to complete the encirclement.
This 50,000-man Chu army was led by General Li Pan, the general under the command of the King of Chu.
Ten thousand cavalry and ten thousand swords and infantry, which are the elite troops of the Chu army.
The Chu army had a total of 30,000 elite soldiers, and the landed ones had 20,000 elite soldiers. The remaining 10,000 elite archers were still in the river, and the King of Chu personally led them.
There are also 10,000 swords, shields, and spearmen, but they are all pieced together and have weak combat power.
King Xiang Wu of Chu was overjoyed when he saw his 50,000 troops and horses, who were taking over Xiaohunhou's retreat.
Once the number of soldiers exceeds tens of thousands, the number of soldiers alone will be extremely powerful. As many as 50,000 soldiers, General Li Pan certainly would not take the Danyang soldiers of only 6,000 people seriously.
Before, he was blocked by Xiaohunhou in the river and could not form a huge infantry attack, so he lost three thousand soldiers on the slums on the shore.
Now his 50,000 troops have arrived ashore, and the army is neatly arranged, enough to defeat the thousands of Danyang soldiers in one fell swoop.
"Quickly, surround the Danyang Army!"
"Catch Xiaohunhou and give a reward of 100 taels. Don't let Xiaohunhou escape!"
Li Pan rode his horse, waved his sword, and shouted desperately.
Fifty thousand Chu cavalry and infantry ran desperately, and two or three miles away, the six thousand Danyang troops on the bank of the river surrounded him to prevent Xiaohunhou from taking Danyang soldiers to escape to Danyang County.
Taking down Xiaohunhou is the first achievement in this battle.
It’s just today that it’s famous!
...
"Change the array!"
"Return to the defensive formation, resist the horses on the periphery! Block it!"
Of course Chu Tianxiu didn't escape.
The six thousand Danyang troops remained still and began to change formations.
Soon, on all sides, a long log block of horses was completely surrounded and tied together with iron wire.
They can't get out, but it's hard to get in outside.
The war horses definitely can't rush in.
It is also difficult for infantry to drill through the wire that resists horses.
The horse was within the control of the horse, two thousand soldiers wearing Danyang were holding swords and shields, ready to defend. Once the enemy soldiers rushed past the horse, they rushed over and slashed.
On the central level are 4,000 Danyang musketeers, who can shoot a hundred steps. The small steel cannon in the innermost can shoot a three hundred steps away.
"Okay, okay! These six thousand Danyang troops have been made of dumplings by my king's general Li Pan. Let's see how arrogant he is!"
