The reason why Feng Jie and Han Xin moved their troops eastward in the dark was nothing more than to prevent Xiang Liang from suddenly crossing the Huai River when he learned that the Qin army on the other side of the river was withdrawn. After all, as soon as Han Xin left 100,000 troops, Feng Jie was left on the other side of the Huai River.
The army had only more than 100,000 people in full battle.
What's more, although Feng Jie and Han Xin had 200,000 troops, 90% of Feng Jie's 100,000 troops were brought by Meng Tian when he came to Julu to support Hu Hai.
These nearly 90,000 soldiers were all chaotic soldiers who had been tangled up by Li Zuoche's previous rebellion in Julu. After that, although Meng Tian had been training in Julu for more than a month, he changed the armor and weapons of the Qin army.
Even many intermediate generals in it were served by Jiuyuan Army in the past, but the combat power of these soldiers is not only compared with the five armies that came out of the Bashang Camp, but it is estimated that even the more than 100,000 Xianyang Guards led by Wang Li before.
The only difference is very different.
After all, no matter what, the Xianyang guards led by Wang Li were all regular soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. Many of them were veterans who had participated in the Unification War of the Qin Dynasty.
Of course, this is just a comparison between Feng Jie's 100,000 army and the two armies of Qinglong and Baihu led by Xu Chuang and Du Teng. If we change the angle, compare Feng Jie's 100,000 army with Han Xin's 100,000 army.
Feng Jie is obviously much happier than Han Xin.
But there is one thing that Han Xin has 20,000 elite soldiers in his hands.
The talented scholar camp is actually equivalent to a non-commissioned officer school in Daqin. The talented scholar camp, as the name suggests, is all talents and scholars!
Under normal circumstances, the soldiers in Caishiba rarely go directly to the battlefield. Only in the battle will these brave and warlike people be used as the frontline. Of course, this is also a kind of training for Caishiba's soldiers.
Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo actually stayed in the Caishi Camp for a while. Zhang Han was also a former Caishi General.
Han Xin's army of 100,000 were the soldiers of the Caishiba who had left the imperial guards with him from Xianyang, and the remaining 80,000 soldiers were the remaining soldiers of Zhang Er and Chen Yu who had been gathered in Chen County by Wang Li, who was the ordinary people, and they were slightly more common.
The elite soldiers were basically killed.
These 80,000 people were all left in Aocang, Sanchuan when Li Xin was withdrawn from Chen County, and then all of them were placed under Han Xin's command with Hu Hai waved his hand.
During the period when he was stationed on the north bank of the Huai River, both Feng Jie and Han Xin were not idle. The two, who had already had a gap because of the Wei Bao incident, still chose to lean on each other even when they were camping, but
But the two have never been together.
Both of them knew that if Xiang Liang took advantage of the loophole, neither of them would have any good results. However, although the two did not interact, they both observed the movements of each other's camp and secretly competed.
The consequence of the force was that the soldiers under the two men had been training hard on the north bank of the Huai River for more than a month. Although they were working behind closed doors, they were much better than before. At least they could barely do it.
The two moved their troops eastward, and no one expected that Xiang Liang would immediately start crossing the river shortly after they left.
...
There are more than fifty small building ships, none of which can carry up to more than a hundred soldiers, five thousand at a time. In addition, the simple bamboo rafts built by sneaking down trees can cross the river more than 20,000 at a time.
Under Xiang Liang's strict order, the entire process of crossing the river was like a thief, in the dark. Many soldiers would accidentally fall into the river. Fortunately, everyone in the Chu army knew water, except for a few.
The unlucky ones didn't climb up and were washed away by the river. Most of them could climb up ashore alive.
Xiang Liang had thought about finding a shallow and crossing the river directly, but Shouchun was located in the middle of the Huai River. If you want to find a shallow, you have to walk at least hundreds of miles upstream or downstream.
In this way, hundreds of thousands of troops traveled hundreds of miles and not to mention whether the Qin army on the other side would find out that the time spent on the journey alone would be far more than the time directly crossing the river.
The Chu army could clearly hold hundreds of thousands of troops in Shouchun. Xiang Liang had already sent people to guard the shoals of the Huai River up and down Shouchun. If the Qin army wanted to take Shouchun, it would first have to cross the river. And to cross the river.
The Chu army is at least better than the one who fights head-on with the Qin army.
Therefore, Xiang Liang carefully considered it and chose to cross the river in the dark night in Quyang.
Xiang Liang, Zhang Liang, Fan Zeng and others discussed it. Before the Qin army arrived, they destroyed the 200,000 Qin army vanguards on the other side of the river. Then they immediately retreated to the other side of the river and strictly guarded the Huai River.
After Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu's army were stirred up the Shandong and other places, the Qin people must divide their troops to wipe out Xiang Yu's army.
There are more than 100,000 troops in the hinterland. Unless the Qin people's head is stuck in the door, they will definitely divide their troops. As long as the Qin people divide their troops, the crisis in Shouchun will be solved.
With the natural chasm of the Huai River and the defense is basically without tower ships and naval troops, if Xiang Liang can no longer block the Qin people, then he can really wipe his neck with his sword. The glory of the Xiang clan is the city of glory.
He threw it all away.
All the ideas are beautiful.
The Chu army crossed the river very smoothly!
From beginning to end, there was no movement in the two large camps of the Qin army, and the scouts only left for more than twenty miles. How could they find the Chu army crossing the river downstream across more than a hundred miles?
After a 300,000 army, after midnight, when all the Chu troops crossed the Huai River, the sky was already dawn.
At this time, Hu Hai, who was far away in Xianyang, must have just gotten up, and the people in Xianyang were immersed in the excitement of the coming ceremony.
After the army crossed the river, Xiang Liang, Wu Rui, Song Yi and other senior generals also followed closely behind, all crossing the Huai River. Now, except for the soldiers of the Zhaoqu and Jing tribes stationed in Shouchun, the rest of the troops were stationed in Shouchun.
All of them belong to the commander of Xiang Bo.
Xiang Liang even ordered Xiang Bo to personally take charge of Anfeng City, the gateway to Shouchun, to command 70,000 troops to strictly guard against Weng Zhong’s 50,000 Xuanwu Army who went south from Wu Pass!
All the troops crossed the river, and it was extremely smooth, which made Xiang Liang completely let go of his heart. After all, there were 200,000 Qin troops on the north bank of the Huai River. If the Qin army discovered that the Chu army crossed the river, it would intercept the attack halfway.
If so, the consequences can be imagined.
In the dark sky, Xiang Liang only mobilized the army to travel less than thirty miles, and ordered to find a hidden place to camp and let the army rest well.
Now there are more than fifty miles away from the easternmost camp of the Qin army. Hundreds of thousands of troops will inevitably be discovered by the Qin army scouts. The Qin people are waiting for their work, and Xiang Liang is really worried about his army.
So Xiang Liang decided to let the army rest during the day, wait until it was dark, and attack the camp directly tomorrow morning. As long as you defeat a large camp of the Qin army first, only 100,000 Qin troops will be left, and the army will be able to seize the opportunity of a great victory.
One fell swoop.
...
The first place where the battle took place was not on the bank of the Huai River, but on the gateway to Shouchun, the capital of Chu, and Anfeng City.
Weng Zhong's army headed south from Nanyang County, along the eastern foot of the Dabie Mountains, heading straight to Anfeng (in the territory of Shou County, Anhui Province later). Weng Zhong arrived at Xiaohe Township, fifty miles from Anfeng City on the night of September 14th, and was in
Xiaohe Township set up a camp to rest for one night.
Xiang Bo himself did not have any military talent. The reason why Xiang Liang sent Xiang Bo to Anfeng to take charge was actually to watch his 50,000 "people's army" transferred to Anfeng to guard.
There was no detailed introduction to the various Qin army corpses in the news from Jixia Academy. Xiang Liang took it for granted that there were only 50,000 ordinary Qin army. Although Xiang Liang had met the Xuanwu army in Chengwu before, and also had Xuanwu.
The army fought, but this did not attract Xiang Liang's attention.
In fact, a long time ago, there were heavy armored soldiers in the Qin Dynasty, and there were quite a few. So Xiang Liang took it for granted that he encountered heavy armored soldiers who had often appeared on the battlefield to attack the enemy, although that heavy
The soldiers all replaced such hideous weapons.
In the past, the heavy armored soldiers of the Qin Dynasty wore bronze armor, and the hardness and strike resistance of bronze were obviously impossible to be comparable to those of fine iron.
Xiang Liang did not pay enough attention to the Qin army on the west route, and Xiang Bo knew his abilities very well. Since his brother Xiang Liang sent him to Anfeng, it was obvious that Anfeng was not dangerous. This also directly affected Xiang Boyue.
The Qin army should be vigilant when coming from the south of the west road. So on the first day of coming to Anfeng City, Xiang Bo accepted the beautiful concubine sent by the magistrate of Anfeng County. With a beautiful woman, how could he remember that he came to Anfeng mainly because of the fact that he was with him.
For what to do.
This is the case with the lord general, let alone the soldiers and generals below who were already mobs.
According to Xiang Liang's instructions, Xiang Bo ordered the scouts to investigate within 30 miles, but the scouts who went out directly reduced the range by more than half. Some scouts even failed to detect the distance of ten miles.
Cheng didn't know where to go to drink and hugged the beauty.
The people of Sishui, Chen County and Dang County who were plundered by Xiang Liang had a difficult life. You can imagine that they came to Jiujiang to live without a home. Selling children and daughters only requires a few meals of food, is everywhere.
As well as these people who have transformed into the Chu army, they have the ability to buy children.
When Xiang Bo, who was sleeping with his newly-sucked concubine in Anfeng City, received his general report that the Qin army had disappeared, Weng Zhong Xuanwu's army vanguard had approached less than ten miles from Anfeng City.
This was not discovered by the scouts. The scouts who went out to investigate were all killed by the scouts of the Xuanwu Army. Tens of thousands of troops were moving forward, but it was still during the day, so it was impossible to hide their whereabouts, and Weng Zhong did not intend to conceal his whereabouts.
Before the Chu army was caught, the scouts of the Chu army had already poured beans into Anfeng City, how many troops were now, who was the chief general, and even Xiang Bo took over a concubine and drank and had fun in Anfeng City every day.
Said it out.
Weng Zhong has nothing to worry about!
How could a 70,000 mob crowd stop the Xuanwu Army that he built with more than 50,000 emperors with countless efforts?
When Xiang Bo got up from the gentle town and climbed up to the city of Anfeng tremblingly, the 50,000 Xuanwu troops were already at the city!
