Chapter 1376 Xiang Yu rushes thousands of miles to attack Xu Shiji
The war in Japan was in full swing, and the situation in Dahan was even more turbulent.
However, many princes are now paying more and more attention to the small place of Japan. Especially after the news came back that there are indeed a large number of gold and silver mines in Japan, it makes all the princes feel like hungry wolves who have seen their prey. Same.
To put it bluntly, war is all about money, otherwise there would be no such thing as a cannon shot and a thousand taels of gold.
Moreover, not only war, but also construction requires financial support. Even the most powerful princes will be unable to move forward without money.
And the topic is temporarily transferred back to the Han Dynasty. Since Liu Che was born, apart from the war against the Southern Barbarians, this should be Liu Che's first official expansion.
After all, the previous battle against the Jin army was not for expansion, but to support other princes.
Liu Che was also very vocal about his first expansion, with Xu Shiji as the commander-in-chief, Chen Qingzhi, Chen Tang, and Zhao Chongguo as deputy generals, Fazheng and Shen Luoyan as military advisors, and his subordinates Yang Jian, Liu Zhiyuan, Jiuchong, Jiufeng, and Huangpao. , Yu Shi, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren, Cheng Bushi, Dongfang Bo, Pang De, Fu Chang, Fu Xiong, Fei Wei, Gan Ying, Ji Chang, Yang Duanhe, Yang Shuang and a series of elite soldiers and generals, gathered together A total of 200,000 soldiers and horses, plus 50,000 barbarians, marched straight from Nanzhong to Jiaozhou.
Among them, it can be said that there are many powerful generals. There are many famous generals with a command value of 90, and there are countless fierce generals among them. Even the fierce generals who have reached the level of divine generals include Yang Jian, Jiu Chong, The number of the four Jiufeng and Huangpao, not to mention the peerless generals below, is even greater.
The changes in the sequence of this battle simply blinded the eyes of everyone in the world.
To be honest, Xiang Yu didn't take Liu Che seriously in Yizhou. After all, many years ago, the Xiang family also took action against Yizhou. However, the terrain in Yizhou was like that. If you insist on holding on there, you may really be unable to do anything to them!
Therefore, that battle did not go smoothly for the Xiang clan. They wasted a lot of time there, but did not gain enough results. Fortunately, Xiang Yu opened up the second battlefield of Jiaozhou and achieved success here. A huge victory.
And for so many years, the Yizhou soldiers and horses basically only played in their own one-third of an acre of land. Except for Li Xiang, they never had any dealings with the soldiers and horses of other princes. Therefore, in the final analysis, those generals did not What a remarkable achievement.
In terms of strong generals alone, in the eyes of outsiders, there was only one Yang Jian under Liu Che who could take action, but Yang Jian still switched to Yang Jian after his death.
At the beginning, Liu Che's generals were even bullied by the southern barbarian generals, which made Xiang Yu naturally look down upon them. What kind of strength can barbarian people have, but Liu Che's generals can't even do this? No one can beat him.
Moreover, this time Xiang Yu also heard that one of the military advisors sent by Liu Che actually had a woman.
Moreover, unfamiliar names like Jiuchong, Huangpao, and Shen Luoyan, let alone other people's ears, would have no impression on them even if they were placed in Yu Ji's ears!
Even with the name Shen Luoyan, Yu Ji took a long time to react before she had some impression of this person. It was also because of the name Song Que that she had a certain impression of the name Shen Luoyan.
After all, first of all, not everyone likes to read martial arts novels, and not everyone is a historian. For many people, they have only heard of them, and they have not even heard of many names.
Secondly, just by using the two names Jiuchong and Huangpao, any normal person would think of the two people Nine-Headed Insect and Huangpao Monster upon hearing these two names.
Speaking of Song Que, Yu Ji persuaded Xiang Yu to reuse this person, but Song Que really looked down on Xiang Yu and deliberately hid his clumsiness and wanted to be a civil servant.
And even if you exclude these things that Yu Ji has no impression of, the remaining ones are enough for her to remind Xiang Yu to be more vigilant.
Although the problem between Xiang Yu and Yu Ji has not been resolved, Xiang Yu can still hear Yu Ji's words.
The most important thing is that 250,000 troops is not a small number. In a sense, it can definitely attract Xiang Yu's attention. Therefore, he is quite vigilant about this battle.
This may sound contradictory. While looking down on the other party, one is wary of the other party at the same time. However, human beings are inherently contradictory creatures.
Xu Shiji entered Jiaozhou with great force, but unexpectedly he encountered Waterloo in his first battle.
The cavalry's lightning attack with thousands of miles of detours should be Xiang Yu's specialty. However, there has never been any opportunity to use it before.
After all, Xiang Yu's target was Liu Xiu before, and his cavalry could not cross the Yangtze River no matter what, let alone launch an attack. But this time, Xiang Yu was finally able to give full play to his advantages.
At first, Xu Shiji wanted to imitate Yue Fei, who struck out with lightning and quickly bit the enemy hard.
Because of Liu Xiu, Xiang Yu's initial focus was indeed not on Jiaozhou, and most of his troops were not in Jiaozhou.
Therefore, this creates the possibility for Xu Shiji to attack with lightning. Even if Jingnan is close to Jiaozhou, it will take time to send reinforcements. And as long as Xu Shiji moves quickly enough, within the time when Xiang Yu's reinforcements arrive, they will have already It's enough for him to do a lot of things.
The force of 250,000 troops is indeed a force that is difficult to resist for Jiaozhou now.
However, how could Xu Shiji have expected that Xiang Yu's reinforcements would not arrive so quickly in theory. However, Xiang Yu abandoned the large-scale infantry troops and instead gathered all the cavalry troops, relying only on the cavalry troops to go straight to Xu Shiji. Come.
Xiang Yu used all his strength and nearly 20,000 cavalry came in for a surprise attack. Xu Shiji, who was not prepared for this moment, was immediately fooled. Especially when all 250,000 troops were spread out like a large plane, but Xiang Yu's 20,000 The iron cavalry is like an awl digging into a flat surface.
In this battle, Xu Shiji returned with a great defeat. Although half of Xiang Yu's troops were left behind because of his timely dispatching! However, their losses were even greater, losing tens of thousands of troops!
Wu Ban, Lei Tong, Dou Yihu, Mu Kun, Zhang Tianyong and other generals were all killed in this battle.
Fortunately, Yang Jian, Jiuchong, Huangpao, Jiufeng and other generals provided timely support, otherwise, Xu Shiji's life might have been in danger.
If nothing happened later, Xiang Yu would have truly won a complete victory this time.
It's a pity that although Xiang Yu traveled thousands of miles, he captured Xu Shiji's tens of thousands of troops in one battle, which not only caused heavy losses to the enemy, but most importantly, demoralized the enemy.
By the time Xu Shiji reorganized his troops, Xiang Yu's reinforcements had officially arrived. Logically speaking, it seemed that the situation was beginning to develop in Xiang Yu's favor.
However, not long after this great victory, the Yizhou Army's counterattacks had already defeated Xiang Yu one after another, and he was almost unable to withstand it. And the beginning of it all came from one person...
