When Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng led nearly 200,000 troops from the middle and rear armies to Xiang Liang's location, Xiang Liang stood blankly at the edge of the battlefield, watching tens of thousands of infantry rushing to help clear the battlefield!
Xiang Zhuang, Tian Du, and Sima Ang followed Xiang Liang!
The rich smell of blood permeated the entire battlefield, steaming under the scorching sunshine, and a disgusting smell floated in the entire air!
Looking around, the most common thing seen on the battlefield is not the corpses of Sima Ang's former soldiers who were nailed to the ground by crossbow arrows, but the scattered corpses of thousands of Jiangdong cavalry who were chopped down by two thousand Xuanwu Army heavy armored cavalry.
!
Basically, no corpse of Jiangdong cavalry is complete!
Just like the hundreds of overturned chariots, broken limbs and broken arms were everywhere!
It’s not like Zhang Liang has never experienced battles before, but this is the first time he has seen such a tragic battlefield!
Taking a deep breath and forcibly controlling his tumbling stomach, Zhang Liang carefully avoided the corpses of several former soldiers of Sima Ang who were lying on the ground and had not yet been restrained, and came to Xiang Liang's side.
Stand still!
Sima Ang, Xiang Zhuang and Tian Du saw Zhang Liang and bowed slightly to Zhang Liang! Everyone knows that this seemingly young Zhang Liang is the second most powerful person after Xiang Liang among Xiang Liang's hundreds of thousands of troops.
Number one!
Even Fan Zeng, who was the first to follow Xiang Liang, is only ranked third now!
"General!" Zhang Liang returned a salute to the three of them, looked at Xiang Liang who looked lonely, and said softly! This is the first time he has seen the high-spirited Xiang Liang look like this!
Obviously, this battle, which was originally meant to be a bargain, dealt a huge blow to Xiang Liang!
Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Xiang Liang seemed to wake up from his deep thoughts. He looked back at Zhang Liang and said calmly: "The ovary is here!"
"General, how was this battle?!" Zhang Liang thought for a while and said!
The three people from Xiangzhuang next to them all changed their expressions when they heard Zhang Liang's words! Didn't Zhang Liang refuse to open and lift certain pots? Look at the broken arms and limbs that can be seen everywhere on the battlefield, and you will know how this battle went.
That’s it!
Aren't you just adding a pinch of salt to the general's already wounded heart?
"A miserable failure!" Xiang Liang said without looking back!
"How many casualties are there?" Zhang Liang seemed to want to ask Xiang Liang clearly about this issue today. He then asked!
"The three generals will go down first to collect the bodies of the fallen soldiers and bury them all! Order the army to camp on the spot!" Xiang Liang turned around and took a deep look at Zhang Liang and then said to Xiang Zhuang, Sima Ang and Tian Du!
"I will obey your orders!"
The three people who originally wanted to leave after hearing Zhang Liang's words, now heard Xiang Liang's words and quickly responded, then turned around and left without looking back!
"The 6,000 Jiangdong cavalry who followed this general are now less than 1,000 intact. More than 3,200 people were killed! More than 200 chariots and soldiers were wiped out! Sima Ang's 50,000-strong front army suffered more than 20,000 casualties.
people!"
Xiang Liang waited until Xiang Zhuang and the others left and looked at Zhang Liangdao!
"May I ask the general, do you know the casualties of the Qin army?"
"I don't know, general! But I think the casualties of the Qin people were only a thousand!"
"In that case, why did the general behave like this? Is the general afraid of the Qin people? Or has this battle destroyed the general's determination to destroy Qin?" Zhang Liang asked immediately!
"Zifang misunderstood!" Xiang Liang said with a bitter smile, "Is there any way out for us now?"
"Then why is the general in such a state?"
"If Zifang hadn't sent troops to help today, I'm afraid Liang's head would have been sacrificed to Emperor Qin by the Qin army!"
"We already know the advantages of the Qin army! Don't worry, general! It's just that today it seems that the Qin people have a kind of soldier who has never appeared in the battle array?" Zhang Liang asked!
"Thousands of cavalrymen whose whole bodies were covered in armor and could not be seen as humans or anything else! Invulnerable! Thousands of Jiangdong cavalrymen could not stop these cavalrymen for a moment. All three thousand of my Jiangdong disciples were buried here.
Wait for the hands of the cavalry!"
Speaking of Xuanwu Army Xiang Liang, he thought of the last flying man, the steel giant who was more than ten feet tall, and a ray of fear flashed in his eyes!
"General, have there ever been corpses of cavalrymen like this?" Zhang Liang saw Xiang Liang's noncommittal expression.
"I didn't get any of them. The Qin army took them all away when they withdrew!"
"General, don't worry! You must know that everything cannot be perfect! The Qin people's cavalry army is so advantageous, but it must have its drawbacks! Now the Qin people have a good idea of what is true and what is true, and this time they will definitely help the general get what he deserves.
May! By then, those invulnerable cavalry troops will be used by the general! At that time, Emperor Qin will die. Who else in the world can be the opponent of the general!" Zhang Liang said proudly!
"Oh!? Are you serious about what Zifang said!?" Xiang Liang, who had a lonely look on his face, immediately grabbed Zhang Liang's arm and asked eagerly after hearing Zhang Liang's words!
"General, please listen to Liang's arrival." Zhang Liang said and whispered to Xiang Liang!
Xiang Liang's expression changed as he listened to Zhang Liang's words. The dejection disappeared from his face, and finally he burst into a hearty laugh!
"Haha! With the help of the ovary, Liang has no less than a hundred thousand elite soldiers!"
…
The battle outside Chengwu City lasted for several hours. By the time Xiang Liang's army finished cleaning the battlefield, the sun was about to set!
After cleaning up the messy battlefield and burning the bodies of all the fallen soldiers, Xiang Liang immediately moved in with his army and set up camp less than three miles away from Chengwu County, completely surrounding Chengwu County from all sides!
Hundreds of thousands of people surrounded Chengwu County and set up tents stretching for dozens of miles!
The overwhelming momentum of the densely packed army of hundreds of thousands suddenly put a heavy stone on the hearts of the people of Chengwu who were originally relieved because of a great victory!
Even Hu Hai saw so many soldiers besieging the city for the first time!
Although I have watched many wars in the cold weapon era through TV movies in my previous life, most of them were extras, and the number was only a few hundred people, and then they were made into hundreds of thousands by computer stunts. Naturally, I couldn't compare to what I was experiencing right now.
Compared with the situation of his environment!
After Xiang Liang's army set up camp, they began to dig trenches one or two feet deep and one foot wide on all sides of Chengwu County, less than a mile away from the city wall!
It seems that they are determined to surround and kill Hu Hai in Chengwu County!
When Hu Hai received the news and rushed to the city, five deep trenches had already taken shape in the south facing Xiang Liang's camp!
There is strength in numbers!
In less than two hours, before the sun set and darkness fell, the trenches on the four walls had been closed, and five shallow trenches more than ten miles long formed five rings, enclosing the entire Chengwu County.
!
And there are countless soldiers who are continuing to widen and deepen the trenches!
Seeing these five trenches connected in a line, Hu Hai's first instinct was that Xiang Liang used these trenches to defend his cavalry, especially the heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army that almost killed Xiang Liang!
But then Hu Hai was confused again. Could it be that Xiang Liang dug the trench without any passage to trap himself in Chengwu County and starve to death? Was Xiang Liang afraid of being defeated in the first battle?
Although there is no shortage of food in Chengwu County now, it can only sustain the city's nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians for at most half a month! Of course, if it counts the Qin Army's nearly 10,000 war horses, it should be able to last more than 20 days.
!
If there were no armies from Meng Tian and Han Xin to rescue him, Hu Hai should really be worried about Xiang Liang!
However, now that the armies of Meng Tian and Han Xin are quickly coming to Chengwu Road, Xiang Liang's plan to trap himself in Chengwu County is exactly what Hu Hai wants!
He is not worried about being besieged to death! What he is worried about is Xiang Liang's desperate and crazy attack on the city!
After looking at it for a while, he couldn't understand the situation. Hu Hai was too lazy to think about it. Anyway, Xiang Liang's trench was still widening and deepening! He couldn't get out, he didn't leave any passage, and he couldn't attack it himself!
Hu Hai went to bed with peace of mind!
There is always a large army guarding the Fangzheng city wall. As long as Xiang Liang's army makes any movement, a warning will be issued immediately!
That night, except for the sounds of logging and digging, there was no movement in the Xiangliang camp outside the city that stretched for dozens of miles!
Chengwu County and outside it fell into a strange calm that night!
It seems that Xiang Liang's hundreds of thousands of troops are here to protect Hu Hai!
A night without words!
…
The ninth day of the seventh month in the first year of the Second Emperor of Qin Dynasty!
Early in the morning, Hu Hai had just gotten up and was still washing his clothes when he heard Long Xuan say outside the lobby: "Your Majesty, there is someone outside the city asking to see you!"
Hu Hai wiped his face with a towel and said vaguely: "Does this person want to see me again?"
"Return to Your Majesty. That person did say that he wanted to see Your Majesty!"
"What?"
After hearing Long Xuan's words, Hu Hai stopped what he was doing and asked!
"Back to Your Majesty, there is a man calling himself Zhang Liang outside the city asking to see Your Majesty!"
This time Hu Hai heard clearly!
Zhang Liang!
"He also came alone, right!?" Hu Hai put down the towel in his hand and said calmly!
"Your Majesty, yes!"
"Don't worry about him! I'll talk about it after breakfast!" Hu Hai really couldn't figure it out. Isn't this a habit for fighting at this time? Is it necessary for everyone to meet the other party's general before the war and then the two sides fight to the death?
Pay homage first and then fight?
The reason why I met Xiang Yu before was because Hu Hai really wanted to see the true face of this overlord who has been coquettish for thousands of years. Now, Hu Hai is really tired of these famous figures in history!
Zhang Liang was the one who assassinated the First Emperor in Bolangsha. He was hunted down and hid in Xiapi to put on Huang Shigong's shoes. He obtained Huang Shigong's "Tai Gong's Art of War" and finally helped Liu Bang destroy the Qin Dynasty and unify the world. Zhang Liang!
I don't think there will be anyone else!
I just didn't expect that Liu Bang would turn to him now. Zhang Liang, who was not optimistic about Xiang Liang in history, would turn to Xiang Liang! However, now that Liu Bang is gone in this life, it seems that Zhang Liang can only turn to Xiang Liang!
"Here!"
Long Xuan originally didn't want to report to Hu Hai. After all, when did the emperor become a green vegetable in the field? Whoever wants to see him can see him? But because of Xiang Yu's incident, he was worried about what if the emperor wanted to see him? So he came to report it!
As for whether the emperor saw Zhang Liang or not, he didn't care at all!
By the time Hu Hai had eaten and drank enough, the sun had already risen high!
Zhang Liang also waited eagerly under the city for almost half an hour!
My neck is sore!!~!
