: I have a plan

The night was quiet, Xiang Zhuang was surrounded by Bailixian, Xiang Tuo and others and walked to the river beach.

On the river beach, rows of corpses wrapped in battle robes were lying horizontally. They were the bodies of the dead Chu army. A large pit had been dug in front of these corpses. In a short time, these corpses would be buried. The Chinese people all pay attention to being buried in the soil, so as long as conditions were met, the dead soldiers would be buried in the soil.

Looking at the fallen soldiers lying quietly on the river beach in front of him, Xiang Zhuang was in a heavy mood.

The fierce battle during the day is still lingering in his mind. Liu Bang obviously knew his situation, so he ordered the Han army to launch a desperate attack. The Han army almost paid his life with his own large amount of casualties, and at the same time, it also caused great damage to the Chu army. The front army camp became the Shura Blood Prison that both sides repeatedly competed for!

Xiang Tuo walked to Xiangzhuang and said, "King, let the soldiers be buried in peace."

Xiang Zhuang nodded, raised his right hand and waved his hand. The Chu soldiers who had been waiting beside him rushed forward one after another, raised their robes and put them into the pit. Xiang Zhuang finally bowed deeply to the dense corpses on the river beach, then turned around and returned to the central army camp silently.

A small school rushed over and said something to Xiang Tuo.

Xiang Tuo rode his horse to catch up with Xiang Zhuang, and said with a serious expression: "King, the number of casualties has come out. In today's battle, our army killed more than 20,000 people, and more than 50,000 others were injured." Seeing Xiang Zhuang's expression turn cold, Xiang Tuo quickly said, "However, the Han army has suffered more casualties. Although they did not count them carefully, at least 30,000 people have died. Only more injured are afraid of more!"

Xiang Zhuang suddenly turned around and turned his eyes to the other side of the river beach. There, all the bodies of the Han army who died in battle had been piled up into a hill, but at this moment, the hill had become a burning volcano. The fallen Chu army was treated as a safe haven, and the Han army as the enemy would not have such a blessing.--net.

After sighing softly, Xiang Zhuang said a little lonely: "It's not OK to continue fighting like this."

This kind of life-threatening style is indeed not what Xiang Zhuang wants. If you continue to consume this, at most ten days, the Han army will be exhausted, but the Chu army is afraid that there will be no more than a few people left. In this way, the Chu State will have to rest for at least another ten years before it can launch the final battle of unification, but Xiang Zhuang does not want to wait for another ten years!

While speaking, the group had already returned to the front army camp. At this time, the front army camp was brightly lit, and countless Chu army strongmen with their chests and backs were sweating profusely, repairing the village walls destroyed by the Han army overnight, re-digging the trenches filled by the Han army, and then re-setting the deer fort in front of the trenches, resisting horses, and sprinkling a large number of caltrops.

Seeing the horse refusal, Xiang Zhuang thought of the navy army that was still blocked in Liyu Beach. He frowned and asked Xiang Tuo: "Ziyan, can the navy army still not come?"

Xiang Tuo shook his head and said with some depression: "The Han army dragged hundreds of big trees with branches and leaves into the Mian River, almost blocking the entire river. The Han army also set up horse-rejected horses among these big trees, and all horse-rejected horses were tied to the big trees with iron ropes. The navy wanted to drag these obstacles to the shore, but there were Han army cavalry on the shore..."

Meng Feng couldn't help but ask for battle and said, "Master, please lead three thousand cavalry to Liyutan for rescue."

Xiang Zhuang shook his head and said nothing, asking Meng Feng to take three thousand cavalry to Liyutan. Not only could he not help the navy, but he was afraid that it would eventually evolve into another cavalry decisive battle. The Han cavalry still had an absolute advantage. Even if the Chu cavalry, which was mainly the cavalry, won the decisive battle, it was a tragic victory. This was not what Xiang Zhuang wanted.

As for dispatching infantry to Liyu Beach, there is no need to mention it.

The Chu army dispatched infantry, and the Han army would definitely intercept it. If the infantry that Xiangzhuang did not want to attack was surrounded and annihilated by the Han army, he would have to send troops to rescue him. After such a mess, it eventually turned into a decisive battle in the wild. The reason why Xiangzhuang held the camp and did not go out was to avoid a decisive battle in the wild, because he really had no confidence in winning.

Unless Bi Shu arrives, Xiang Zhuang would rather continue to waste like this.

Bailixian, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "King, I have a plan to bring the navy back!"

After saying that, Bailixian rushed forward again and whispered a few words in Xiang Zhuang's ear. Xiang Zhuang's eyes lit up immediately, and he turned his head and ordered Qu Bucai: "Old Qu, send a letter to Ruoxian Feige immediately..."

#############

The night was dark, but the woods on the west bank of Carp Beach were bright and torches were clear.

Except for the raids sent out to patrol, the remaining 900 riders have become carpenters now and are building horse-rejecting horses overnight. The so-called horse-rejecting horses are actually nailing two horizontal bars at the intersection of two crosses and the corresponding foot, and then nailing a row of long wooden stakes with sharpened tops on the two horizontal bars. Although the workmanship is rough, it is better to be practical.

At this moment, Zhou Guanfu was surrounded by nailed horses, and at least hundreds of them were there.

When Zhou Guanfu was checking these refusals one by one, a small school hurried to the front and reported: "General, the Chu navy has retreated!"

"Well, have you retreated?" Zhou Guanfu was stunned when he heard this. He immediately turned over and came to the river. Sure enough, he saw that the Chu warships that were originally wandering south of the blocked river had turned around and headed to the south. Zhou Guanfu was a little confused about the intentions of the National Navy for a while, so he had to instruct the scouts to strengthen the alert on the shore.

Back at the woods, Zhou Guanfu shouted again: "Okay, don't nail them anymore. Throw these refusal horses into the river. Also, cut down hundreds of big trees to block the river upstream and downstream of the Carp Beach. Humph, as long as I am here, the Chu navy will not think of passing here, as this road is blocked!"

The Han army carried dozens of sheepskin rafts from the forest, and then four sheepskin rafts in groups, carrying one by one, resisting horses and slashing towards the heart of the river. The other part of the Han army began to cut down big trees, but these big trees were not dragged into the water by human power. They had to use long hemp ropes and horses from the Han army on the other side.

#############

Liu Bang once again developed the intention to retreat. After a fierce battle in one day, the Han army lost nearly 30,000 people, including three thousand elite cavalry and three hundred heavy cavalry. Innumerable injuries were injured. If he continued to fight like this, at most ten days, more than 500,000 Han army would almost be fought. At that time, he would not be able to become the King of Anle in Guanzhong.

Liu Bang said to Zhang Liang: "Zifang, although the Chu army's crossbow has been adjusted by your design, it is still quite difficult for us to fight. Why don't you... forget it?"

Zhang Liang was speechless. He thought that the Han army would be able to pull out the camp by transferring the sharpest crossbows. Zhang Liang never thought of defeating the 400,000 Chu army in one fell swoop, but at least he should have captured one of the five camps of the Chu army, and at least he should have eaten the Chu army's front army. But in the end, the Han army still failed to do so.

Three hundred heavy cavalry lived up to their expectations and indeed broke through the heavy armored defense line of the Chu army!

The three thousand elite cavalry did not disappoint. They almost slaughtered the light soldiers and archers of the Chu army in the front camp, but in the end, the three hundred heavy cavalry and the three thousand elite cavalry were still buried in the vast sea of ​​the Chu army. Zhang Liang could see that the Chu army did not even use the Tianlang Army or the cavalry among the three imperial guards.

The combat effectiveness of the Chu army is still beyond Zhang Liang's imagination!

Zhang Liang has already known that even if the Han army continues to attack, the best result will be both defeats. If the Han army wants to win, it is almost impossible! More than 400,000 Chu troops are huddled in a group. It is indeed too difficult for the Han army to swallow this turtle in one bite...

However, Zhang Liang also knew that the Chu army would never blindly defend!

This has nothing to do with Xiang Zhuang's character and whether he likes to take risks, but is determined by the general trend of the world and the offensive and defensive trends of the Chu and Han countries.

Obviously, if the Chu army blindly defended and fought with the Han army to lose both sides, then the Chu State would need to rest for another ten years before it could unify the world; if the Han army had a decisive battle, there would be only two, either a big victory or a big defeat. If the Chu army won, it would be able to take advantage of the situation to destroy the Han State and the world would be unified. If the defeat was a big defeat, it would be nothing more than a few more years of rest for a long time.

In other words, the result of the Chu army's great defeat is not much worse than that of both sides' losses, but the benefits of the big victory are obvious.

Therefore, as long as Xiang Zhuang is not an idiot, he will definitely choose to fight the Han army before both sides suffer losses. This is the only chance for the Han army to defeat the Chu army!

Zhang Liang calmed down and said, "King, you must not give up easily when you are alive and die!"

"Did I ever think about giving up?" Liu Bang spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "But the problem is that the child of Xiangzhuang is huddled in the camp and cannot come out. We can't do anything about him, right? If you continue to attack like this, I will have all my family's fortunes. At that time, I'm afraid I won't even be a Guanzhong King."

Zhang Liang said: "Please believe me. If you don't have three days, the Chu army will definitely go to war!"

"Three days?" Liu Bang said skeptically, "Will the Chu army really go to war in two days?"

Seeing Zhang Liang nodding, Liu Bang said helplessly: "Well, then try to attack for another two days."

"In this way, I will leave, and the king should have a rest sooner." Zhang Liang bowed to Liu Bang, turned around and left the tent.

When Chen Ping was about to leave the tent, he suddenly stopped, as if he wanted to say something to Liu Bang, but when he met Liu Bang's gaze, Chen Ping swallowed the words he vomited to his mouth back into his stomach.

Looking at Chen Ping's back as he was gone, Liu Bang said, "What do you want to do this Chen Ping hesitantly?"

Hearing Liu Bang's muttering, Chen Ping couldn't help but stop and wanted to go back and tell Liu Bang and Pan what he planned. But he still held back. The reason was that he planned was really fierce and almost a big fuss. Not to mention that a humble gentleman like Zhang Liang could not stand it, I was afraid that even the king who had always been a black-hearted would be furious? However, for the sake of the life and death of the Han Dynasty, Chen Ping took the initiative.
