Chapter 1006 Fan Zeng and Sun Shuao’s back-up plan
"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, oh swish!" A rain of arrows filled the sky and shot towards the back of the Chu army. Even a small part of Xiang's army was hit by Chi Yu.
One general's success is worth ten thousand bones. 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 the country, and was proficient in everything. He put down the uprisings of Chen Min, Du Tao, and Zhang Chang in his life, and as the commander of the coalition forces, he put down Su Jun's rebellion and stabilized the Eastern Jin Dynasty. political power and made great military exploits.
The Jingzhou under his rule was known in history as "no one picks up things on the road". He was diligent in his official duties and did not like drinking or gambling, so he was praised by others. After General Guo Mo killed Liu Yin without authorization, he immediately led his troops to conquer without spending a single soldier. He captured Guo Mo and his son, and became 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 them all with one breath. But now another enemy soldier came from behind them and made dumplings for them. If they don't find a solution quickly, they will definitely lose this battle.
However, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, so 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 did not know when Xiang Yu hid such a soldier, the sudden appearance of this soldier was indeed one of their own. Therefore, this did not prevent them from taking this opportunity to fight back.
In fact, all the troops and horses brought by Xiang Yu, except for Jiang Xia and those sent to the south, are already here. This sudden appearance of troops and horses is really not something he had done beforehand. 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 afraid of 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 probably never 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, and at the same time tried 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 3,000 men appear. These 3,000 men were elites in the army specially selected by Fan Zeng, and their combat effectiveness was guaranteed. And these 3,000 men were also selected by Fan Zeng.
Together with Sun Shuao, they secretly prepared a backup plan for Xiang Yu.
Although there are not many people, the soldiers are good and used well, which is enough to have the effect of changing the situation of the battle. And three thousand people are not too many. If there are more, the concealment of this soldier and horse cannot be guaranteed.
.
And once this troop of troops and horses loses its concealment and is exposed to the public, it will have basically no effect. Xiang Yu's troops and horses are twice as many as the opponent's. On the surface, these three thousand more are not much, and these fewer are not.
Three thousand is not a lot, and only by hiding it in the dark can it play a real role.
If everything goes well for Xiang Yu, this troop and horse will return silently. Except for a few people, no one will know that this troop and horse has been to Jingbei. But if the war reaches a stalemate, this troop and horse will
Break out suddenly 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 hit Liu Xiu's key points as soon as he started.
When he discovered that all of Liu Xiu's troops had been dispatched, he took advantage of the stalemate and rushed out from behind to achieve 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 now. 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! This is
The two of them are scheming behind the scenes. Who in the world can guarantee that they can definitely catch it?
Of course, if he really failed in this battle, it can 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, and to be loyal even when they were outstanding?
dedicated.
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, exchanges
The issue of Nanyang and Jiangxia defense zones caused a lot of trouble for his two brothers!
"Brothers, our wives, children, old and young 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 can't lose this battle. Once he loses, he will have nothing. Instead of this, he would rather fight to the end to win the slim chance of winning. If he cannot succeed, then he will 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 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 the possibility of a comeback. But his appearance of Tao Kan is to motivate the opponent.
The catalyst for this tone to fall as soon as possible.
