Chapter 55
In a blink of an eye, ten days have passed.
On the open space in front of the old camp, five thousand "Han troops" have formed several clearly divided square formations!
The so-called Han army is of course not the real Han army, it is just the Chu army wearing the Han army's battle robe!
Speaking of which, the style of the war robe armor of the Chu army and the Han army at this time was actually no different. They all followed the legacy of the Qin army, but the colors were different. The Qin army mainly focused on black, the Han army mainly focused on red, and the Chu army mainly focused on yellow! Therefore, the Chu army only needed to dye the color of the battle robe red and immediately became the "Han army".
The Chu soldiers had no idea about the change in the color of the battle robe.
Although the generals were confused, since this was the order of the general, who dared to question it?
Xiang Zhuang, carrying a horizontal knife and a big bear's fur, walked slowly out of the gate of the village accompanied by Wei Liao and Wu She. Looking around, the five thousand Chu troops were already ready.
On the left is Jing Qian's camp. The 1,000 martial soldiers in the trap were all of the same colored iron-piece shoulder armor, chest armor, abdominal armor, back armor, leg armor and helmets. The first five hundred martial soldiers all held large shields in their left hand and ring-headed swords in their right hand. The last five hundred martial soldiers were carrying small round shields on their left arm and long halberds in their hands. Five hundred long halberds pierced the void and stood like a forest.
On the right side of the military soldiers who were trapped in the battle were a thousand auxiliary light soldiers, each wearing only a robe and carrying a long sword.
In addition to the two bulging dry food bags crossed on their chests, the auxiliary light soldiers also had a bundle of javelins cross-body behind them. There were five javelins in total, each weighing about eight kilograms (Hanjin). After the army set off, the military soldiers who were trapped in the battle would take off their armor and hand them over to their backs. At that time, these light soldiers would carry more than 100 kilograms of long-distance marching, which was really miserable.
On the right side of the auxiliary light soldiers, there are five hundred first-row dead soldiers with their heads raised and their chests raised. The first-row dead soldiers' load carrying the lightest. Apart from the dry food bags that were cross-body on their chests, there was only a long sword left.
First climb the camp and then to the right, there are five hundred long bowmen from the Nufeng camp.
Although the five hundred longbowmen were all recruits, they were the most powerful in the lineup in the entire queue, because they were almost seven feet and five inches tall, and they were all strong and strong. Each longbowman had a longbow cross-body on his shoulders. In addition to a dry food bag, he also carried an arrow bag on his back, which contained twenty heavy arrows.
On the right side of the Nufeng Camp are Ji Bu's central army, Huan Chu's front army, Xiao Kai's rear army, and Yu Ziqi's right army, and Zhonglimei's left army are not among them.
Xiang Zhuang slowly walked past the queue slowly, and the Chu soldiers threw their scorching eyes at him. After ten days of rest, the Chu soldiers' physical strength and energy had completely recovered, and they no longer had the fatigue of the defeated generals, and they were like another group of screaming tiger and wolf soldiers!
After just after the inspection, Qin Ji had already brought Xiang Zhuang, Wei Liao and Wu She's mounts over with her female soldiers.
There were not many horses in the Chu army. Except for Wuqian, Wei Liao and Wu She, the other dozens of mounts were killed by Xiangzhuang. Now they have been smoked into bacon and put into the dry food bags of the Chu army soldiers. They marched for a long distance and fought continuously. If they only eat dry food, they would definitely not be able to hold on. They had to supplement some meat for the soldiers.
Xiang Zhuang turned over the horse, raised his right hand and pressed it forward gently, then beat the horse and left.
In an instant, the low and desolate sound of the horns had already soared into the sky, and the mountains echoed, spreading farther and farther.
Wei Liao and Wu She also boarded the horse one after another, urging the horse to follow Xiangzhuang. Behind the two, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Xiao Kai, Yu Ziqi, Jing Qian, Gao Chu, Gongsun each led his troops to set off one after another. In less than half an hour, the five thousand Chu troops completely disappeared into the vast mountains to the west...
Until he could no longer see a Chu army, Zhongli Mei sighed softly.
All left, General, Military Advisor, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Yu Ziqi, and Mr. Wu She, they all left!
Turning around, his more than 500 plots and women, and children were pouring out of the village. On the wooden building in the center of the village, Mrs. Yu's figure could be seen faintly.
Zhonglimei really couldn't understand why the general didn't take Mrs. Yu away?
It is of course dangerous to march long distances and make continuous wars, but is it safe to stay here?
Once the General sneak attacks Ao Cang and cuts off the food route of the coalition forces. With the ability of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, it is impossible for them to know that they have been defeated by the Chu army's golden plan. At that time, in addition to sending a large army to chase and suppress the General, Liu Bang will probably send elite troops into the mountain again. At that time, how can he, Zhonglimei, protect the women and children in the village?
Just based on his more than 500 plots? Zhonglimei couldn't help but look sad.
Although most of these more than 500 plots are veterans, they either lack arms or legs or blindness. In short, few of them are all in a hurry. If you ask these veterans to open up land and teach half-year-old children to dance with swords and sticks in their spare time, it would be more than enough, but if they were asked to lift swords and halberds to fight with the Han army, it would be difficult.
#############
An unexpected guest suddenly came from the tent of King Wu Rui of Hengshan.
King Wu Rui of Hengshan was a descendant of the King of Wu. After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched a riot in Daze Township, Wu Rui also took the opportunity to raise an army to rebel against Qin in Hengshan County, and finally assisted Xiang Yu. Liu Bang's rebellious army destroyed the once prosperous Great Qin Empire. After destroying Qin, Xiang Yu divided the princes. Wu Rui was named King of Hengshan and ranked one of the eighteen rebel kings.
During the Chu-Han struggle, the Chu-Han war was fought for five years. Xiang Yu lacked political intelligence and made a series of wrong decisions. The princes and kings of all walks of life rebelled against Chu and returned to Han. Wu Rui also turned against each other during this period. Xiang Yu was trapped in Gaixia. Liu Bang summoned all the princes to help the battle. Wu Rui raised 20,000 elite troops from Hengshan Kingdom and rushed to Gaixia to help the battle.
Soon Xiang Yu was defeated and died, but Xiang Zhuang was born again!
Xiangzhuang killed the King of Han because he was afraid to enter the mountain with just a few thousand remaining soldiers. It was really hard to believe it!
Up to now, the 20,000 Hengshan army has been guarding Ruyin for half a month, but I don’t know when it will take the opportunity to rescue the siege and return home?
When Wu Ruizheng and his closest general Mei Jing were drinking to relieve their boredom, his personal soldiers suddenly came in to report: "Master, a scholar who called himself Fan Yang Kuai Che asked for his visit."
"Kuai Che?" Wu Rui said in surprise, "What are he here to do?"
Mei Yu frowned and persuaded: "King, I heard that Kuai Che has been in and out of the tents of various princes and kings recently, and often talks bad things about the Han king behind him. This has made the Han king very unhappy. The Han king will take action to deal with him sooner or later. It is better not to contact him."
"Hey, it's okay to meet." Wu Rui waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "Besides, he is a scholar with status after all. After all, he comes to visit the door late at night and you don't see him. He is still rude, right?" After that, Wu Rui ordered his personal soldiers to invite Kuai Che in. When Mei Jing wanted to avoid him, he was stopped by Wu Rui.
Soon, the personal soldiers took Kuai Che into the tent.
Kuai Che first bowed a long time to Wu Rui and said aloud: "See the King!"
"Sir, don't have to be too polite." Wu Ruisu said, "Please go to the seat."
Kuai Che turned around, bowed slightly to Mei Qing, and then he knelt down on Wu Rui's lower right. His personal soldiers had already brought the table table and placed a plate of cooked beef, a pot of soup, and a can of boiled water wine on the table table.
But Kuai Che didn't even look at the wine and meat in front of his eyes, but said lightly: "King, do you know that Hengshan Kingdom is already in danger?"
Mei Ke immediately frowned and said, "Pretending to be amazing!"
Wu Rui said lightly: "What do you say sir?"
Kuai Che shook his sleeves and said calmly: "The King of Han personally led more than 400,000 troops of the princes from all over the country to station Ruyin, Jin Xu guarded Quyang, Li Zuoche guarded six counties, and Li Shang guarded Anfeng. In this way, a situation of encirclement in the Dabie Mountains where the remnants of the Chu army were entrenched on the north, east and south sides. If the remnants of the Chu army were poor, they would inevitably collapse to the west!"
When Wu Rui heard this, his face changed slightly. From Dabie Mountain to the west, it was his Hengshan Kingdom!
Mei Yu slapped the table and said angrily: "There is nonsense. The Dabie Mountains are high and densely forested, with few people coming, and snakes and insects are rampant. Not to mention the only three or five thousand remaining soldiers, even tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops entered it. I am afraid that there will be death and no life, and there will be no return. What danger can my Hengshan Kingdom have?"
But Kuai Che said lightly: "General Mei Yu, don't forget that it is early spring, the climate is cold, where do snakes and insects come from?"
Mei Jing said: "Even if there are no snakes and insects, there are endless fogs in the mountains. If the Chu army really dares to enter the mountains, they will eventually be lost in the fog that is everywhere!"
Kuai Che waved his hand and said, "It's only early April now, and it will take at least half a month before the Huai and Si land will truly enter the rainy season. Without the continuous rain, where can there be endless fog in the mountains?"
"Uh, this..." Mei Jing was speechless. When it comes to leading troops to fight, he naturally would be far ahead of Kuai Che. But when it comes to talking about his adversary, how could he be the opponent of Fan Yang's debater?
After a while, Wu Rui said: "Sir, can the remaining soldiers of the Chu army really cross the Dabie Mountains?"
"Nine out of ten!" Kuai Che said lightly, "If the Chu army does not want to starve to death in the mountains, they can only cross the Dabie Mountains and then enter Hengshan Kingdom to burn, kill and loot." After saying this, Kuai Che stood up and bowed, "If the king does not want Hengshan Kingdom to be destroyed by the war, it is best to lead the army back to the country as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."
"This..." Wu Rui immediately fell into struggle.
Originally, Wu Rui had already become determined to return to the country. Now that Kuai Che said this, he became even more heartless. But how should he mention this matter to the King of Han?
"Haha, I'll finish my words here. Whether you listen or not, it's all about the king." Kuai Che laughed twice, turned around and left. ########################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################
