He had already received news that Meng Tian's army of more than 100,000 men was rushing to Chengwu to aid Hu Hai, so after Xiang Liang surrounded Chengwu City, he sent a large number of scouts within fifty miles north of Chengwu City!
Naturally, this was done to prevent Meng Tian from unexpectedly arriving early and catching him off guard!
Now, it is obvious that Xiang Liang's preparations were not in vain. Meng Tian arrived early! And it was not just a day and a half early! It was a full three days earlier than Xiang Liang and Zhang Liang expected!
What is the concept of three days?
In other words, Meng Tian's army covered a distance of more than 500 miles in such bad weather in just two days and three nights, and even had to cross the Yellow River!
Xiang Liang was immediately frightened by his calculation!
"Did the scouts see clearly how many soldiers were in the cavalry heading towards Chengwu?" Zhang Liang saw Xiang Liang lost his mind, so he had to stand up and ask!
"Uh!" The guard outside the tent seemed to be communicating with someone. After a while, he said honestly, "Sir, the scouts hurried back to the camp when they discovered the cavalry, and did not look carefully at the cavalry running towards them.
How many soldiers and horses are there?"
"Well, okay, you go down and have a rest!" Zhang Liang ordered without blaming him!
"Here!"
When the guard retreated, Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Don't worry, general! Meng Tian rushed to Chengwu so quickly, I guess there won't be too many soldiers! And the weather is so hot now, even if you get to Chengwu, you will probably be exhausted.
Nothing to worry about!”
Xiang Liang also came to his senses at this time, and said in surprise: "Let the wife laugh!"
"Haha! As one of the most famous generals in the world, Meng Tian really deserves his reputation! He traveled nearly 500 miles in two days. The Jiuyuan Army really deserves his reputation!" Zhang Liang sighed!
"Indeed!" Xiang Liang said in agreement! Then he changed his mind and said excitedly: "Zifang, since this cavalry army must be short of men and horses. Can we take the opportunity to destroy this Jiuyuan Army that is rushing to help?"
"No!" Zhang Liang said quickly when he heard Xiang Liang's words, and then found that his tone was a bit harsh. He slowly explained: "General, although the cavalry coming to Chengwu will not be too many, and they will definitely be short of men and horses,
But we still can't take it lightly! The Jiuyuan Army is the most elite soldier of the Qin people today. As a famous general in the world, how could Meng Tian not think that we would ambush them?
If Meng Tian himself is in this cavalry army, I am afraid that if we really try to steal the chicken, we will lose a handful of rice! And this cavalry army is obviously only part of Meng Tian's army, and there will definitely be a continuous army coming from behind! If
We ambush Meng Tian. It would be better if we could wipe out this army in one fell swoop. If Meng Tian uses this cavalry as bait to hold back our army until Meng Tian's follow-up army arrives. General, I'm afraid we will
All that is left is death!"
When Zhang Liang said this, he paused slightly and continued: "If these hundreds of thousands of troops were left in Chengwu by Meng Tian's army, I'm afraid Shouchun and I won't be able to return! At that time, the general will lose his troops, and the King of Chu will
And how could Zhao, Qu and Jing let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury? General, think twice!"
Xiang Liang suddenly looked stunned after hearing Zhang Liang's analysis.
"Shame on you Liang! You almost thought you were going to die!" Xiang Liang bowed to Zhang Liang and said!
"General, there is no need to be like this! If there is no news of the alliance between the young master Zi Ying, Liang Ye will definitely take a risk! If he can really kill Meng Tian and Qin Emperor Hu Hai here in Chengwu! The Qin Kingdom in Guanzhong will definitely collapse in a day!
If it fails, we will all die here! But now, since South Vietnam is helping us! We don’t have to take a risk." Zhang Liang comforted Xiang Liang and said!
"What Zifang said is true! It's true!" Xiang Liang nodded repeatedly! "But, what should we do now?"
"The general should order the whole army to break camp and return south to Shouchun as soon as possible! The Qin army's cavalry will definitely march much faster than our infantry! We should march as soon as possible! Otherwise, if Meng Tian's army catches up,
I'm afraid I'm going to run away all the way!"
"Come here!" Xiang Liang heard Zhang Liang's words and thought he was shouting loudly!
"General!"
"Send an order to the four camps to break up and go south immediately! There must be no mistake!"
"Here!"
Soon countless noisy sounds sounded from Xiangliang Camp!
The soldiers of the Qin army who were resting at the top of Chengwu City thought that Xiang Liang's army was about to attack again, so they got up, picked up their weapons, and stood on the city wall, on tight guard!
But, this time, they were obviously wrong!
I saw a large number of Xiang Liang's rebel soldiers rushing out from the Sifang camp, then dismantling the Banqiao bridges connecting the five ditches one by one and transporting them back to the camp! Immediately afterwards, as the torches of Xiang Liang's Chinese army camp were extinguished first, the remaining three parties
The torches in the camp were extinguished one by one!
Suddenly darkness fell outside Chengwu City!
The soldiers of the Qin army on the top of the city could only see about a hundred steps away from the city wall. Even Long Xuan, who was holding Hu Hai's telescope, could only see more than a hundred steps at night!
Outside the city wall, countless noises accompanied the neighing of horses and chariots!
Obviously, Xiang Liang's army is making big moves!
However, no one knows what Xiang Liang's army wants to do with his big move!
If the city was to be attacked, then why did Xiang Liang demolish the Banqiao that connected the five trenches? If Banqiao was demolished, people in the city would not be able to get out, and Xiang Liang's army outside the city would definitely not be able to fly over!
If it is not to attack the city, then it is just dawn, what does Xiang Liang want to do?
Hu Hai, who had also not slept all night, arrived at the top of the city after receiving the news! He was also confused as to what Xiang Liang was up to!
It was not time for a cup of tea, and the noise of Xiangliang camp outside the city gradually faded away and finally disappeared!
This is?
Is this a troop withdrawal?
Hu Hai can’t understand it!
The sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded outside Zichengwu City! It was especially crisp in the silent night!
The sound of horse hooves seems to have started to disperse from Xiangliang Camp, galloping around Chengwu City!
Several fires suddenly appeared in the dark Xiangliang Camp!
This time Hu Hai saw clearly that it was Xiang Liang's Jiangdong cavalry!
However, after seeing Hu Hai clearly, he became even more confused. Through the telescope, he could clearly see that the Xiangliang camp around the torch-bearing Jiangdong cavalry was empty!
Within ten steps of Naqi Jiangdong Iron Cavalry, you can see all kinds of things scattered everywhere!
What was Xiang Liang trying to do? Did he really withdraw his troops? Did Meng Tian come? Hu Hai suddenly thought of this question!
But it seems impossible! Meng Tian can’t arrive until tonight at the earliest!
Immediately afterwards, more torches began to light up in the four-sided camp surrounding Chengwu City! They were all Jiangdong cavalry on horseback! The big man surrounded by more than ten knights in the Xiang Liang Central Army camp was the most conspicuous.
!
Xiang Yu!
As the tens of thousands of enemies in Xiang Yu's hands were raised, more than a hundred Jiangdong cavalry with torches began to scatter in all directions!
ignition!
Yes, Jiangdong Cavalry is lighting up its camp with a torch!
Xiang Liang really withdrew his troops!
Hu Hai was sure now! Otherwise Xiang Yu would not have burned his camp! Unless Xiang Yu got mad!
But, could it be that Han Xin is here?
As more than a hundred Jiangdong cavalry set fires everywhere! Xiang Liang's camp, which was originally dark, suddenly burst into flames! Hu Hai discovered that Xiang Liang had piled almost all the wooden boards around the camp!
Therefore, the fire burned extremely fiercely!
As the fire broke out in the camp of Xiang Liang's army, the Jiangdong cavalry in the other three camps in Chengwucheng also began to set fires everywhere in the camp!
In an instant, the outside of Chengwu City was suddenly enveloped in blazing fire!
After setting the fire, the Jiangdong cavalry did not stop and all rode towards Xiang Liang's Central Army camp where Xiang Yu was!
When Hu Hai saw Xiang Yu, he suddenly urged him to sit down on his black horse, and he rode quickly toward Chengwu City alone! Finally, he stopped in front of the first ditch!
Xiang Yu stood up on his horse and looked at Chengwu City quietly!
Behind him is the Xiang Liang camp with flames rising into the sky!
Hu Hai could clearly see Xiang Yu's expression and even eyes through the telescope!
Bloodthirsty and violent!
Xiang Yu seemed to feel that Hu Hai was looking at him!
The eyes of the two people, separated by more than a thousand steps, collided in the blazing fire, creating countless sparks!
a long time!
Xiang Yu suddenly scratched his neck with his hand, then suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped away along a passage vacated by the fire!
Looking at Xiang Yu galloping out, Hu Hai remained silent for a long time!
He understands what Xiang Yu means!
He doesn't just want to take off his own head!
The raging fire grew stronger and stronger, reflecting the dark night sky in red!
The originally quiet Chengwucheng city suddenly burst into cheers!
At this time, everyone knew that Xiang Liang’s hundreds of thousands of rebels had withdrawn! Although they didn’t know the reason, they had withdrawn after all!
I don’t know who took the lead. The overwhelming cheers finally turned into four words, echoing in the night sky!
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
…
Hu Hai saw that Long Xuan next to him was shouting "Long live your Majesty" with excitement and in a hoarse voice. He was really ashamed!
The war has lasted until now. Except for the fact that it is still unknown whether Meng Tian or Han Xin came to rescue Xiang Liang's hundreds of thousands of troops, which led to the hasty withdrawal of Xiang Liang's troops, any remaining results seem to have nothing to do with him as the emperor!
Chengwu City was able to hold out for five hours under Xiang Yu's fierce and violent attack, repelling waves of Xiang Liang's rebels. This was all due to the soldiers of the Qin army, including the people of Chengwu. What does it have to do with him?
Nearly a thousand black shadows appeared faintly in the firelight!
It's the Black Bird Army!
Hu Hai could see clearly through the telescope!
At this moment, rolling muffled thunder suddenly came from behind Chengwucheng, from far to the north!
The rolling muffled thunder turned into overwhelming thunder a moment later, instantly overwhelming the overwhelming cheers from Chengwucheng!
Hearing the overwhelming roar of horse hooves, the cheering soldiers and people of the Qin army in Chengwu City were suddenly at a loss! Could it be that the jackals have just been sent away and the tigers have come again?
The overwhelming sound of horse hooves made Hu Hai slightly distracted for a moment! But suddenly, he realized that Xiang Liang could not have so many cavalry, so the only ones coming here were the Qin army!
It’s Meng Tian’s army that has arrived!
