Chapter 53 Peng Yue attacks the South Vietnamese Army camp at night
When Li Yan's 20,000-strong army appeared near the South Vietnamese Army's station, they were discovered by South Vietnamese Army patrol soldiers.
Based on the information provided by the patrol sergeants, Li Yan judged that there were only 10,000 or 20,000 Qin troops near the camp, so he decided to seize the opportunity to capture this small force.
A short while later, Zhao Shi led an army of 50,000 people out of the camp gate and pursued Li Yan's army of 20,000 people.
Seeing the South Vietnamese army rushing out of the camp under the leadership of Zhao Shi, Li Yan immediately led his troops to evacuate from the vicinity of the South Vietnamese army's station without bothering them.
When Zhao Shi saw Li Yan's 20,000-strong army withdrawing, he thought that the Qin army in front of him was cowardly, so he immediately urged the army to press forward, intending to annihilate the small group of soldiers in front of him who wanted to rob the camp at night.
When Peng Yue, who was lurking not far outside the Nanyue Camp, saw countless torches leaving the Nanyue Camp, he sent his detective cavalry to follow them quietly.
After a moment of burning incense, the detective turned back.
"General, the South Vietnamese army has chased them five miles away, and their number is about 50,000."
After hearing the news brought back by Tanqi, Peng Yue immediately ordered the Huben army to quietly move towards the South Vietnamese army camp.
When the Huben troops sneaked to a distance of 500 steps from the South Vietnamese army camp, Peng Yue issued the order to attack.
In the span of a cup of tea, 50,000 Tiger and Ben soldiers swept through the South Vietnamese Army camp like a tornado. When the Tiger and Ben soldiers left, the South Vietnamese Army camp was in a mess, with the cries of soldiers and the crackling sounds of burning food, grass and other materials intertwined.
, adding a lot of desolation for a while.
When Li Yan's 20,000-strong army lured Zhao Shi five or six miles away from the South Vietnamese army camp, Li Yan ordered the army to quickly break away from Zhao Shi's pursuit and return directly to the Lishui camp.
Just when Zhao Shi stood up and rubbed his hands because of the escape of the 20,000 people he had almost obtained, a group of South Vietnamese cavalry found Zhao Tuo.
When Zhao Shi saw clearly the miserable appearance of the visitor by the light of the torch, he was suddenly speechless in shock.
"Your Majesty, after you led your army to leave the camp, a Qin army's cavalry rushed into our camp. After a massacre, they left quickly. Because the Qin army arrived too hastily, our camp guard
Our army had no time to organize a defense and had to fight independently in a hurry. As a result, our army suffered heavy losses."
After listening to the cavalryman's story, Zhao Shi was stunned.
"Thief Fusu, what a scheme!"
After a while, Zhao Shi sighed through gritted teeth.
After hanging out with Xiang Yu for a few days, Zhao Shi learned Xiang Yu's bad names for Fu Su. What's more, this time Zhao Shi was tricked by Fu Su. When he was angry, he naturally cursed Fu Su as a thief to vent his anger.
When Zhao Shi led his troops back to the camp, he was immediately shocked by the tragic scene in the camp. He saw countless corpses of South Vietnamese soldiers being carried to the open space in front of the camp gate by the surviving soldiers. They almost piled up a mountain of corpses.
, and the place where grain, grass and military supplies were piled in the distance was even more ablaze.
After seeing the scene in the camp, Zhao Shi immediately ordered the 50,000 soldiers behind him to participate in the rescue. He was busy until Chou was able to sort out the losses in the camp: In this battle, more than 20,000 soldiers in the camp were killed and injured.
There were more than 5,000 people and almost all the food, grass and weapons were lost.
Listening to the quartermaster's report on the camp's losses, Zhao Shi had mixed feelings in his heart, including helplessness towards Fusu, resentment towards the Jiangdong Xiang family's sudden withdrawal, and even more resentment towards himself for not seeing Fusu's plan in advance.
Blame yourself.
In view of the critical situation, Zhao Shi ordered the army to erect camp overnight and led the defeated soldiers to retreat to Sihui County, an important town in Nanhai County.
The next day, when Tanqi reported the news of Zhao Shi's withdrawal to Fusu, Fusu immediately led his army straight to Nanhai County.
…
Just as Fusu's army advanced into Nanhai County, Wang Li and Meng Tian's 200,000 troops split into two groups. Meng Tian's 100,000 troops continued to confront Xiang Bo in Lujiang County, while Wang Li and Yingbu led 100,000 troops.
The army turned around and headed towards Changsha County.
When Jiangdong Tanqi reported to Xiang Bo the news that 100,000 Qin troops were marching south to Changsha County, Xiang Bo was shocked and broke into a cold sweat. He quickly wrote a letter and sent someone to Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang, ordering them to enter Jiangdong territory.
Go to rescue Changsha County immediately.
Xiang Bo knew the importance of Changsha County to Jiangdong, so he ordered Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang to rush to Changsha County. After Fusu raided Jiangdong, Xiang Bo ceded the land west of the Xiang River in Changsha County in order to ease the conflict with Fusu.
All counties. Now that one hundred thousand Qin troops are moving south, I am afraid that the districts and counties east of the Xiang River in Changsha County are also in danger.
On this day, Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang led their troops into the jurisdiction of Jiangdong, and saw a fast rider galloping towards them.
"To the two major generals, the general has a letter. Please open it and read it." Kuai Qi said and handed a letter to Xiang Yu.
When Xiang Yu read Xiang Bo's letter, his brows immediately knitted together.
Xiang Zhuang saw the change in Xiang Yu's expression and hurriedly took the letter from Xiang Yu and read it.
"This thief Fusu is really hateful. This time he not only launched troops against South Vietnam, he also wanted to plot against our Jiangdong rivers and mountains. Is there anyone in the world who is more scheming than this thief Fusu?" Xiang Yu sighed helplessly.
Ever since Xiang Yu killed 20,000 soldiers from Nanjun and surrendered, Fusu has almost become a nightmare for Jiangdong; first he led his army to sneak into Jiangdong to attack Xiang Liang's camp and kill Xiang Liang, then he kidnapped Xiang Yu's betrothed wife Yu Ji from Lujiang County, and finally
Jiangdong was forced to cede Hengshan County and half of Changsha County, and now he is taking advantage of the opportunity to attack South Vietnam to plot to engulf Jiangdong. How can Xiang Yu and others not feel helpless?
"Brother Yu, why do I feel that the Qin army's goal this time is not South Vietnam, but our Jiangdong?" Xiang Zhuang said with a sad look on his face.
"Brother Zhuang, I used to think that our Jiangdong could definitely regain our Chu Kingdom. After fighting with Fusu for so long, I have become less and less confident. Let's just talk about this time. Fusu clearly transferred 200,000 troops to
South Vietnam, but who would have thought that this thief Fusu would use our meticulous work in Hexi to paralyze us and secretly transfer a hundred thousand troops to Penglize."
"Brother Yu, do you think we in Jiangdong can really regain our country under Fusu's nose?"
"I don't know either. I can only take one step at a time and see."
Xiang Yu looked at Xiang Zhuang in front of him with a melancholy expression, not knowing what to say.
Facing an opponent like Fusu, Xiang Yu himself felt so helpless that he no longer dared to have any illusions about the future. How else could he comfort Xiang Zhuang?
When news of Fusu's continuous attacks on cities and villages in South Vietnam and Jiangdong reached Dang County, Liu Ji and others were shocked.
"Brother Ji, the Qin army's offensive is too fierce. They have just wiped out the Xiongnu army in Hexi and are about to recapture South Vietnam. There is also Jiangdong. It is estimated that Changsha County and Lujiang County will soon be unable to hold on. When Fusu destroys South Vietnam,
With Jiangdong, it’s my turn to be in Dang County." Xia Houying said pessimistically.
"Brother Ji, I also think what Xia Houying said is reasonable. Now that Qin has become stronger and stronger under Fusu's governance, our Dang County is no longer Fusu's opponent. I have a suggestion. Please don't blame Brother Ji.
.”
"Lu Wan, if you have something to say, just say it, don't be nagging." Liu Ji scolded helplessly when he saw Lu Wan hesitate to speak.
"Brother Ji, how about we surrender Fusu?"
Lu Wan summoned her luck and came up with her suggestion. After speaking, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look up at Liu Ji and his group of brothers again.
"Lu Wan, that's a bullshit idea you came up with. Not to mention that Brother Ji doesn't agree, there are a few brothers in our group who are willing. I think you were intimidated by Fu Su." Zhou Bo directed his firepower at Lu Wan.
Seeing Zhou Bo verbally insulting Lu Wan, several people immediately prepared to follow Zhou Bo and scold Lu Wan.
Seeing that everyone was about to speak, Liu Ji stopped everyone and then stared at Lu Wan solemnly.
Seeing Liu Ji's solemn eyes, Lu Wan was momentarily panicked.
"Brother Ji, I just said it casually. Don't worry about it. As long as you are right, brother, I will follow you to the end."
Lu Wan watched Liu Ji explain in panic.
After a while, Liu Ji no longer stared at Lu Wan, but turned his attention to others.
