Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Seven Thousands of Horses Galloping
When the emperor goes on a patrol, the 20,000 guards who can protect the emperor need not even think about it. They must be the most elite soldiers in the Qin Dynasty. At least they will not be inferior to Meng Tian's 29,000 original frontier troops!
So, how could Xiang Yu still besiege the Qin Emperor with 20,000 elite Qin troops in Chengwu County?
"How dare you bully me, little Xiang Yu!"
Xiang Liang, who wanted to understand the cause and effect, suddenly became furious and said sternly!
"Zifang thinks that Emperor Qin is no longer in Chengwu? What should we do?"
After scolding Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang asked with a worried look!
If Hu Hai is really not in Chengwu, then Xiang Liang will be completely embarrassed this time! He led hundreds of thousands of troops to hurry up, and there were thousands of soldiers killed and injured by heatstroke along the way, not counting this journey.
How much food and grass was consumed by the hundreds of thousands of troops from Suiyang to Chengwu, but in the end not even a hair was seen on Emperor Qin's head. So how could Xiang Liang have the dignity to lead these hundreds of thousands of anti-Qin troops in the future?
The entire Xiang clan will probably lose their face!
Zhang Liang looked at Xiang Liang, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and said slowly: "General, don't be anxious! Zifang just said that Emperor Qin was not besieged by the young general in Chengwu, but he did not say that Emperor Qin is now
Not in Chengwu! On the contrary, Zifang thinks that Emperor Qin must still be in Chengwu waiting for us and the army to arrive!"
"Ah ha! That's good, that's good!" Xiang Liang had already been convinced by Zhang Liang. Now when he heard Zhang Liang say that Hu Hai must be in Chengwu, he was immediately elated! When he said these words, Xiang Liang seemed to have thought of something.
"Wait a minute, just now Zifang said that Emperor Qin must be waiting for me and the army in Chengwu?" Xiang Liang said doubtfully!
"Of course! The Qin Emperor is indeed waiting for me!" Zhang Liang said leisurely, shaking his cattail leaf fan!
"We came with hundreds of thousands of troops to kill this man. He escaped without hearing anything and still dared to wait for my hundreds of thousands of troops to arrive in the small town of Chengwu? Could it be that the little Qin Emperor really had his head burned and confused?
Could it be that he really thought that his mere 20,000 Qin troops could withstand my hundreds of thousands of troops? People said that the second emperor of Qin was fatuous, but Liang thought he was not fatuous, but stupid! Hahaha!"
When Xiang Liang mentioned the excitement, he couldn't help but laugh!
Zhang Liang, who was shaking his cattail leaf fan, suddenly had black lines in his head when he heard Xiang Liang's idiotic words! He wasn't like this when he saw Xiang Liang before. Could it be that after being with him for a long time, Xiang Liang had changed?
Are you so stupid? Or is it because you are too smart?
Zhang Liang is speechless!
"General!"
Zhang Lianglue interrupted Xiang Liang's self-absorbed laughter with dissatisfied words!
"Uh!" Xiang Liangtian saw Zhang Liang's dissatisfied words, and his laughter suddenly stopped! "If you have anything to say, please tell me!"
Although it was a headache for Xiang Liang to become so stupid, Zhang Liang was still very satisfied with Xiang Liang's attitude towards him!
"General, do you remember the message from Handan?" Zhang Liang asked!
"A message from Handan?" Xiang Liang was a little confused, and then he seemed to think of something. His face suddenly became solemn, "What Zifang said is..."
"That's right!" Seeing that Xiang Liang finally figured it out, Zhang Liang nodded happily!
"From Zifang's point of view, the 60,000-strong army under the command of the Major General is now in danger! Then since Emperor Qin is waiting for Meng Tian's army to come to rescue him, and wants to defeat our army in one fell swoop, how can he let the 60,000-strong army go?
Join our army and increase our strength?"
"Don't think this is enough!" Xiang Liang was still very confident in Xiang Yu's combat power, and said with doubts!
"Now our army has arrived in Chengwu. I think we will receive the Major General's message later, and we will know then! But now, Zifang Zhao really likes Emperor Qin!"
Zhang Liang did not argue with Xiang Liang on whether Xiang Yu's 60,000 Yue barbarians were still there, so the topic changed!
"It's true! If things are really as Zifang said, this little Qin Emperor seems to be more courageous than the First Emperor!" Xiang Liang suddenly looked convinced when he heard Zhang Liang's words!
When the words "First Emperor" were mentioned, even Xiang Liang, who hated the Qin Dynasty deeply, looked fascinated!
When Zhang Liang heard Xiang Liang's words, he had no response. He hated the Qin Dynasty more than anyone else, and hated the First Emperor whom Xiang Liang admired!
"Now it seems that this Chengwu battle will be a fierce battle! The general should have prepared early! If we don't capture Chengwu and get the Qin Emperor's head within three days, then we will have to retreat!
Chen County and other places must also be abandoned together, and must be returned to the south of Jiujiang and the Huaihe River!"
Zhang Liang directly pointed out the consequences if Chengwu returned from the battle without success!
"Yes!" Xiang Liang nodded solemnly!
They don't know at this moment that in addition to Meng Tian's army of more than 100,000 people, Han Xin's army of more than 100,000 people is coming from Yingchuan!
Of course, Zhang Liang was right about one thing. If Xiang Liang did not capture Hu Hai's head in the end, he would have to retreat directly to Shouchun, the capital of Xinchu, and try again!
While Xiang Liang and Zhang Liang were discussing Hu Hai, eight thousand Qin elite cavalry led by Du Teng, Xia Houying and Fan Kuai had already approached Sima Ang's fifty thousand front army!
In the wilderness in broad daylight, it is impossible to hide such a large-scale cavalry movement from anyone! The overwhelming dust and the roaring sound of horse hooves quickly approached Sima Ang's 50,000-strong front army, which was depleted of men and horses!
As the Great Qin cavalry approached, Sima Ang, who was in the army formation, immediately received the news!
Even if there was no report from the personal guards, he knew that a large group of cavalry was coming towards him from the rumbling earth shaking!
Today, Xiang Liang's army, except for the 5,000 Jiangdong cavalry currently in Xiang Liang's middle army, the entire rebel army has more than 300,000 people, with a total of less than 2,000 horses! And these less than 2,000 horses except for the rear army
Except for the horses that were pulling baggage and food, most of the remaining horses were under the lap of senior generals like them!
Some mid-level generals can only walk on two feet like ordinary soldiers, without even a horse! And Xiang Yu's 60,000 soldiers who came to Chengwu are all infantry, and there is not a single war horse!
So, with so many cavalry coming straight towards them, there seems to be only one possibility, and that is the Great Qin cavalry!
Wanting to understand this problem, Sima Ang found that his brain seemed to be insufficient!
Then Emperor Qin only had 20,000 Qin soldiers accompanying him, and he still had to face the siege of 60,000 hundred Yue barbarians under Xiang Yu who were said to be besieging Emperor Qin. How could he still have enough energy to attack his army?
What about the 60,000 people who besieged Emperor Qin? Could it be that there were not only 20,000 people around Emperor Qin? Did Emperor Qin simply set a trap to send people like himself?
Sima Ang was suddenly frightened by his series of thoughts and broke into a cold sweat! He even regretted it at this moment. Why did he raise troops to fight against Qin and join Xiang Liang? Not only were tens of thousands of his soldiers deprived by Xiang Liang, but also it seemed that at this moment
He foolishly followed the news that Emperor Qin was besieged in Chengwu by Xiang Liang, who was said to have reliable information, and came to kill Emperor Qin!
Although Sima Ang thought so, it was obvious that he could not escape alone from the army at this moment. The most important thing was that he knew very well that his short horse with short legs could not outrun Da Qin's war horse!
To run away now is simply to die early. After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the army to back you up, right?
Sima Ang calmed down and ordered his personal guards to quickly go to the Chinese army to convey the message that Xiang Liang's front army was being attacked by the Qin army. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers of the front army to get into position and prepare to resist the upcoming attack of the Qin army's cavalry!
Nearly 10,000 cavalry galloping in the wilderness. Unless they face it personally, it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine what it feels like to face nearly 10,000 cavalry charging!
The black torrent that seemed to be able to grind everything into pieces was approaching quickly. The huge pressure, accompanied by the increasingly heavy earth tremors, quickly approached Sima Ang's front army!
Du Teng's idea was simple. He was going to use an upright charge to destroy the morale of hundreds of thousands of rebels in one battle!
As for the fighting strength of the rebels, although he has never fought with the rebels personally, he has been dealing with the more ferocious Baiyue barbarians every day in the past two days! From here to there! Du Teng also roughly guessed these rebels.
combat power!
The most important thing is that everyone knows that there are simply not so many Baiyue barbarians, so the fighting strength of Xiang Liang's hundreds of thousands of rebels will definitely be reduced again from the original basis!
This is why Du Teng insisted on leading the attack even though he knew that Xiang Liang's front army had at least 50,000 troops!
As one of the first people to be promoted from prisoners to generals, Du Teng knew very well how powerful the Qin cavalry equipped with horseshoes was in the Bashang Camp! It is no exaggeration to say that he led 10,000 fully equipped cavalrymen
Equipped with saddles, stirrups and horseshoes, he even dared to directly challenge a hundred thousand rebels!
This is not arrogance. After all, in the face of absolute strength, numbers often bring not advantages, but huge hidden dangers! If one person collapses, then the collapse of more than 100,000 rebel troops will be a disaster!
Now, Sima Ang's 50,000-strong front army is receiving an extremely powerful impact from nearly 10,000 Da Qin's black cavalry!
Most of these people are ordinary people who came here casually with a wooden stick and became soldiers! They have never been on the battlefield, how have they ever faced such a war!
Looking around, countless black-armored Great Qin cavalry were rushing towards them with an indomitable momentum! The earth trembled, the sound of hoofbeats was like thunder, and the whole world seemed to be dominated by the black torrent in front of me and the roar of horse hoofs that filled my ears.
!
Everyone believed that even if Mount Tai stood in front of themselves and others at this moment, they would probably be crushed to pieces by these mighty Great Qin Jingqi!
Sima Ang looked at the galloping Great Qin Jingqi and was also frightened and his face turned pale!
This was also the first time he saw the frontal charge of the Great Qin Jingqi on the battlefield! The unparalleled pressure made people go crazy! There were still hundreds of steps away, but there was already an endless wind blowing through the dust.
!
Xiang Liang's 50,000-strong army all looked with trembling eyes at the approaching black torrent!
Finally, a soldier in tattered clothes and holding a wooden stick in his hand could no longer bear such tremendous pressure. A stream of water with a fishy smell flowed down his crotch, and he dropped the wooden stick in his hand as a weapon with a sound of "ah"
Turn around and run! (To be continued)
