Xiang Liang shook his head, as if he was swaying away the uneasiness that lingered in his heart.
"Old Fan, have you ever discovered the difference between these two Qin troops?"
After a while of silence, Xiang Liang felt more uneasy in his heart as he looked at the dark torrent sweeping away from his army. He lowered his voice and looked at Fan Zeng and pondered.
As the head general, he naturally could not tell Fan Zeng directly. These two Qin troops made him very uneasy. This not only damaged his majesty as the head general, but also directly shook the morale of the army.
After all, at this moment, in addition to Fan Zeng, there were dozens of generals of all levels, as well as more than ten clan elders who followed Xiang Liang.
What's more important is that before the war, there were more than 200,000 soldiers from Chu in line below. If he was the main general at this time, he would be timid before the battle, and there would be too many people and talk differently. Once it spread, it would inevitably be shaken.
Military morale.
"General, I think it's better to be cautious!"
Although Fan Zeng does not understand military affairs and is more of a person who plays power, he still believes in his intuition. Just as he chose Xiang Liang at the beginning, although Xiang Liang does not have the strength to compete with Daqin, he can
It is good enough to achieve this level under such circumstances.
After all, the fire of restoration that has swarmed in has only been the only one in Chu State left! The remaining tribes of the other countries have basically raised troops in front, and the Qin army who came to hear the news later were strangled to death.
Although Fan Zeng's words were a little vague, the meaning was self-evident. Obviously, he also discovered the difference between the two Qin troops who rushed over. He tactfully expressed his concerns.
Xiang Liang regrets a little now, why didn’t he find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack to set up camp? Although the camp is located in a depression area now, it can only be used for concealment, but it cannot achieve the effect of easy defense.
However, then again, if the Qin army in front of us is really the elite Qin people, then with the countless powerful crossbows equipped by the Qin army, there is probably no big camp in the wilderness that they cannot defeat.
Although the Chu army is also equipped with a large number of powerful crossbows sent by Ziying from Nanyue, compared with the standard configuration of the Qin army, the gap is still too big. Xiang Liang has 300,000 yuan.
In the army, only 50,000 Jiangdong soldiers have made a powerful Qin army crossbow, including more than 30 large continuous crossbow shooting machines, which are also in the hands of Jiangdong soldiers.
The rest of the Chu army did not have strong crossbows. However, compared with the shabby appearance that did not even have armor and weapons in the past, the Chu army is now much better. At least, the armor can be used as a pair of weapons, and as a single weapon can be used as a single one.
Many people also have shields.
Among the 100,000 barbarians, 20,000 strong men were equipped with six-foot-tall shields.
Everything is to defend against the sharp crossbows of the Qin people!
Xiang Liang is now facing two choices. The first is to take a gamble and choose a Qin army to directly entangle or destroy one of them with the advantage of numbers, and then free up his hands to eliminate another.
Of course, there is also the other way to withdraw troops directly and return to the other side to Shouchun. However, judging by the distance between the two armies and the speed of the Qin army's advancement, I am afraid that if I can't go far, I will be caught up by the Qin army.
I never thought about sticking to Xiang Liang in the camp.
Xiang Liang is very clear about how many soldiers there are on the other side of the Huai River, because basically all the combat plans were formulated by him. He would rather stick to it and be seeking death without reinforcements.
After all, Chen County is strictly the territory of the Qin people. It is firmly in the territory of the enemy. Not to mention the reinforcements, even if the Qin army does not attack, as long as it sends reinforcements continuously, it will be possible to trap dozens of them.
Wan Dajun was trapped to death.
The 300,000 army consumed a lot of food and supplies.
Since Xiang Liang returned to Shouchun, he has been reserving grain and grass. Fortunately, he had just passed the harvest season. Although several counties such as Kuaiji and Jiujiang have gradually separated from the Qin Dynasty and become the territory of Chu, they have not experienced any major wars.
.
Although the Qin Dynasty unified the world for more than ten years, except for Guanzhong, which was the foundation of the Qin Dynasty, although the territory of the six countries that were destroyed later belonged to the Qin Dynasty in name, it never established an effective and perfect rule.
This is related to the reasons why the remnants of the six countries were constantly intending to restore the survivors, and the First Emperor began to constantly seek immortality in his later years. In the general direction, the national policy of the Qin Dynasty can be said to be very advanced, but in terms of maintaining the foundation of the Qin Dynasty's rule, it is
The national policy far behind the Qin Dynasty.
This is also a fundamental reason why, just two years after Hu Hai's first ascended the throne, the Qin Dynasty was immediately destroyed by the anti-Qin movement that swarmed the world. If the Qin Dynasty could establish a perfect rule in the original six kingdoms, and strong control
In the place, even if Hu Hai generals Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Li Si, Feng Quji, Feng Jie and others all killed them, the Qin Dynasty would not collapse so quickly.
The failure to establish a strong rule resulted in Wu Rui, Xiang Liang and others who raised an army to rebel against Qin basically did not encounter decent resistance. The officials from all over the city changed their flags and immediately left the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, several counties such as Jiujiang and Kuaiji have basically not been subjected to war. Although daily production has had some impact, it has little impact. The land of Chu in Jiangnan may have been a blessing for heaven, and there was no flood or drought, so the harvest was achieved.
Still good.
At the same time, when occupying Chen County and Dang County, Xiang Liang basically moved all the grain in Chenliu Warehouse in Dang County. Although some of them were burned by the Black Iron and Black Bird Army, it was still
A lot left.
In addition to the food he collected from Chen County and Dang County, the current food in Jiujiang could support him to raise so many large troops. However, although the Chu State does not lack food at present, it only refers to most people in Chu.
Xiang Liang's people who were plundered from Chen County and Dang County had nothing and survived on the verge of death.
In Xiang Liang's original idea, it only takes up three days to defeat the Qin army on the north bank, and 300,000 Chu army wiped out the 200,000 Qin army. Xiang Liang was not so arrogant yet.
, It is best to destroy all the Qin army.
Therefore, the food and grass carried by Xiang Liang was only enough to consume the army for three to five days. After all, the Shouchun base camp is on the other side of the river. If a large amount of food and grass is carried, it will have a great impact on the march.
If you stick to it, the Qin army doesn't need to attack at all. You only need to surround it for ten days. There are basically few people in the 300,000 Chu army that can use weapons.
Now, Xiang Liang cannot retreat, and cannot defend, which is truly in a dilemma.
Xiang Liang's mind changed rapidly and stared at the two Qin troops sweeping over and weighed in his heart.
"The order was sent to Xiang Tong to lead 50,000 Jiangdong soldiers and 50,000 Baiyue people to fight the Qin army that came to the north. Tell Xiang Tong that no matter what method he wanted to hold the Qin people in the north. Otherwise,
Come and see you!"
The two Qin troops, Xiang Liang, had a long time to measure, and combined with the scout's letter, they finally confirmed that the Qin army would definitely not exceed 200,000. Two hundred thousand people, which should be the Qin army stationed in two camps on the north bank of the Huaihe River.
number of soldiers.
If reinforcements from the Qin army arrived, then there would definitely be no more than 200,000 soldiers coming to attack now, and at least there should be more than the Chu army. This discovery gave Xiang Liang great comfort.
Xiang Tong, Xiang Liang's second son! Although his force is not as good as Xiang Yu, he is also the best among the younger generation of the Xiang clan. Xiang Liang sent his own son and obviously had made up his mind to have a decisive battle with the Qin army.
It's right.
Xiang Tong was inexplicably excited when he received the order. This was his first time leading the army to fight alone, and he commanded a large army of 100,000, of which 50,000 were the most elite Jiangdong soldiers of the entire Xiang clan!
Although Xiang Liang did not say how to arrange the remaining 200,000 troops, it is not difficult to see from his order that the 200,000 troops would obviously be used to encircle the Qin army in the west.
Xiang Liang only planned to let Xiang Tong hold back the Qin army, obviously because he was worried that his 100,000 Chu army would not be able to defeat the same number of Qin army. He dragged that Qin army just to fight the 100,000 Qin army in the west.
Just win time.
However, Xiang Tong was not just thinking about dragging the Qin army, he wanted to prove that he would not be inferior to Xiang Yu!
Xiang Tong's movements were very fast, but in just a moment, 50,000 Jiangdong soldiers and 50,000 Baiyue barbarians had left the formation and drove towards Xu Chuang's Qinglong Army in the north.
"Old Fan, I will leave you 20,000 elite troops. If our army has a chance to win, then Mr Fan only needs to seize the opportunity to join the battlefield and give a fatal blow to the Qin army! However, if my 180,000 army is exposed,
As the defeated statue, Mr. Fan immediately led the 20,000 elite troops to the East China Sea to meet with his nephew Xiang Yu."
Xiang Liang looked at Fan Zeng and said solemnly.
"General!..."
"Mr. Fan, please listen to me. There is no need to persuade you today. If you win, Liang will live; if you lose, Liang will die! Is there still a way for him now?" Xiang Liang interrupted Fan Zeng. Although he regretted that he would not
It was time to cross the river to seek war without finding out the exact situation of the Qin army, but it was obviously too late to talk about the regrets.
It is difficult to ride a tiger, so it is better to go to Tiger Mountain. There is no chance of life!
After all, Xiang Liang experienced a long battle formation. After seeing the situation, he immediately made the most suitable choice!
"If the army is defeated this time, Shouchun will definitely be out of protection! Mr. Fan must remember to tell Xiang Yu that he will never avenge me when he is not able to seize his strength and will not return to the land of Jiangdong. We still need to worry Mr. Fan to bring more Yuer in the future.
Although my son is very passionate, he is also a person with the most affectionate nature. With Mr. Fan and Mr. Zhang Liang assisting Yu'er, Liang is at ease! Nanyue is a good place to go! My Xiang family, please give me a sir!"
Xiang Liang clasped his fists at Fan Zeng and gave a solemn greeting, then grabbed the horse's belly and ran down!
After a while, the flag was shaken, and the remaining 200,000 Qin troops began to slowly divide into two parts, and one 180,000 people slowly headed towards the Qin troops coming from the west.
Under the "Xiang" banner in the center of the army, Xiang Liang rode his horse!
