Let's say that after Xiang Yu arranged the combat deployment, as usual, he went out of his tent and inspected the barracks.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

The eyes of many soldiers still follow his figure eagerly, as if they are convinced that their king can still lead them out of the heavy encirclement as before; somewhere ahead.Many wounded were groaning in pain because of suppurative wounds.

A stretcher passed him.Xiang Yu saw that although the person on the shelf couldn't recognize his name, but he was very familiar, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"

The man squeezed out a weak smile, and said: "I'm dying... I only hope that the king can break through the encirclement... and return to Jiangdong."

Seeing that his face was pale and his right arm was broken at the shoulder, Xiang Yu touched his forehead, which was burning hot, and couldn't help crying (note).Just after the two battles of Guling and Chenxia, ​​many wounded in the army died on the way because of lack of medical treatment and medicine, unable to rest and recuperate.

He gripped his sword hilt tightly, as if making an oath, and promised: "It will." This time, it will definitely not be like the previous life...

The next day, the Chu army got up at the fourth watch, and the Huotou army had already prepared a steaming breakfast, and the whole army had a full meal.It has been one or two months in a row, in order to save military rations, the soldiers of the Chu army have not had a full meal, and today they all ate hungrily.They also knew that it might be a decisive battle soon.

Xiang Yu was riding on a black horse, holding a long halberd, and his eyes slowly swept across the army formation.Many of them were familiar faces. Almost all of the soldiers who had followed him for many years were dressed in rags, had thin faces, and held spears or daggers. Some of them had wandering eyes, but most of them still followed his figure firmly.

Xiang Yu's heart couldn't help but throbbed.In fact, Gaixia was the place he chose for the decisive battle with the Han army.After signing the boundary agreement, he released Liu Bang's father Liu Taigong, wife Lu Zhi and other hostages according to the agreement. Unexpectedly, Liu Bang broke his promise, tore up the agreement, pursued the Chu army, and fought against the Chu army twice in Guling and Chenxia. .After Zhou Yin, the great Sima of Western Chu, rebelled, Shouchun was besieged, and his retreat back to Huainan was cut off.The only retreat is Jiangdong. Only by relying on the natural danger of the Yangtze River can we deal with the Han army again.

However, he had to cross the Huai River to retreat to Jiangdong, but behind him was the Han army and the coalition forces of princes closely following him.In order to calmly cross the Huai River, a decisive battle with the Han Army Alliance is necessary, and another victory in the Battle of Pengcheng is required to create conditions for the army to cross the Huai River.

In his previous life, he led an army against Han Xin's 30 Qi army, and was lured into the deep formation of the Qi army, and was drawn into the encirclement of Han Xin by stretching the battle line.Although he knew that it was an encirclement, he had to fight. However, the Chu army was exhausted after marching for many days, food and grass were scarce, and their combat power was not as good as before, so they were finally defeated.

But this time, Han Xin and his 30 Qi army retreated. So, will he repeat the mistakes of his previous life?

His gaze became firm and deep, and he raised the halberd in his hand, and shouted: "If you don't fight, you die! Let's go!"

"If you don't fight, you die!"

"If you don't fight, you die!"

"Come on!"

A black torrent rushed towards the camp of the Han army, and the horseshoes stepped on the ground, making a rumbling sound like thunder in the sky. It was the [-] cavalry led by Xiang Yu himself.A rain of arrows flew in front of them, and several knights of the Chu Army had been shot and fell off their horses.Xiang Yu swung his halberd in his hand, while blocking the sharp arrows, he accelerated his horse speed, and rushed into the Han army formation in an instant.I saw him stabbing or hooking, and with a wave of his hand, several Han soldiers fell down, swaying a rain of blood, which was unstoppable.At this time, more Chu cavalry rushed into the Han army formation, and the two armies fought hand to hand.

These cavalry were all elite Chu troops who were good at controlling horses. Zhang Liang, who was watching the battle on a small hillside, saw the Chu army cutting into the Han army formation like black awls, advancing layer by layer under the leadership of Xiang Yu, unstoppable.Although he hated Xiang Yu deeply, he couldn't help sighing secretly, "The overlord is indeed the overlord." Xiang Zhuang, a general of the Chu army, led his elite cavalry around the Han army formation, constantly bending his bow and shooting arrows, and the Han army camp became more and more scattered.Zhang Liang's expression became more and more dignified, and he said to Liu Bang beside him, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Zhou Bo and Chai Wu won't be able to hold back..."

Liu Bang also saw this, and said, "Call the rear army."

Chen Ping, who was on the side, also suggested: "My lord, you can ask Yingbu and Peng Yue to attack the rear camp of the Chu army." Zhang Liang frowned secretly, but did not stop him.

Liu Bang immediately ordered the Pegasus to deliver the order.At this time, Zhou Bo and Chai Wu's camp had been disrupted and retreated steadily. About 15 soldiers of the Han army, led by Fan Kuai, Xia Houying, Guan Ying and others, entered the battlefield.

As soon as the fresh troops of the Han army entered the battlefield, they blocked the offensive of the Chu army.After fighting for about half an hour, the Chu army began to retreat under the pressure of the Han army.Liu Bang couldn't help but slanted his horsewhip and laughed triumphantly.However, Zhang Liang frowned slightly.According to his estimation, the Chu army's offensive should not be so easily frustrated, could it be...

At this time, Huainan Wang Yingbu and Jiancheng Hou Pengyue also led 3 people each to attack the Chu army from the rear.

As soon as Yingbo entered the camp of the Chu army, he saw a Chu general galloping forward and shouted, "Yingbo! When did King Xiang treat you badly? Are you going to follow Liu Bang to fight King Xiang?"

Yingbo looked up and recognized that it was Xiang Sheng who had defeated him before, and he couldn't help being a little discouraged.It turned out that Yingbo was originally Xiang Yu's general. Because of his bravery, he often served as a pioneer and made great achievements. Later, when Xiang Yu divided the world, he made Yingbu King of Jiujiang and ruled Jiujiang and Lujiang counties.Later, when Qi Wang Tianrong rebelled against Chu, Xiang Yu went to attack Tian Rong and sent troops to Yingbo.Later, Liu Bang defeated the Chu army in Pengcheng, and Yingbu excused his illness and refused to assist Chu.Xiang Yu resented Yingbo because of this, and repeatedly sent envoys to blame Yingbo and summoned him to go. Yingbo became more and more frightened and dared not go.

Later, after he talked with Yingbo and voted for Liu Bang, Xiang Yu sent Xiang Sheng and Long Qie to attack Huainan and defeated Yingbo.

While Yingbo was hesitating, he heard Xiang Sheng say again: "Yingbo, King Xiang said that if you retreat this time, he will let the past go, otherwise he will lose his promise to the world. Think about it for yourself, is Liu Bang really worth your life? ? If Liu Bang is really worth your life, why didn't Han Xin come this time?"

This sentence just speaks for Zhong Yingbu's mind.He has always been a person who only believes in himself and relies on his own strength.This is also the real reason why he didn't want to go when Xiang Yu sent troops to him.In Yingbo's view, in troubled times, the so-called righteous status of monarchs and ministers are all fake, and only his own strength is real.Originally, Liu Bang promised him that this time he only needed to capture Shouchun and watch the battle outside Gaixia, with the momentum of the strong Han army, and Han Xin's Qi army would fight with Xiang Yu's main force. Unexpectedly, Han Xin did not come this time, and he The army was thrown into battle.

Could it be that Liu Bang deliberately consumed my strength?After all, I used to belong to Xiang Yu.Yingbo couldn't help feeling suspicious, waved his hand, and stopped.

Peng Yue, who was at the side, rolled his eyes and said, "Xiang Sheng, don't talk nonsense here!"

Seeing that it was Peng Yue, Xiang Sheng couldn't help but contemptuously said: "Who am I? It turns out it's you!" It turned out that when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were fighting on the front line of Xingyang, Peng Yue's army repeatedly attacked the Chu army's rear, cutting off the Chu army's food road. But when Xiang Yu's army went to encircle and suppress, they often slipped away like swimming fish, and never confronted Xiang Yu head-on.

Peng Yue was furious, he patted his horse forward, swung his spear and stabbed at Xiang Sheng, Xiang Sheng swung the horse's head, let the spear go, and said again: "Peng Yue, don't even think about it, why didn't Han Xin come? You deserve to be here for Liu Bang Sell ​​your life?"

Peng Yue was originally a bandit from Juyeze, and later led more than 3 people to join Liu Bang.He has always believed that Liu Bang is the Lord of Destiny, but recently saw that Han Xin was named the Queen of Qi, and he was also moved.Originally, it was a generally accepted rule in the world to seal the king and crack the earth with military exploits.Why is he just a prince when he has made great military exploits?The King of Han was also a bit stingy.

For this reason, when Liu Bang envoys summoned him to Guling at first, he declined on the grounds that "the land of Wei has just been pacified, and he is still afraid of the Chu army, so he cannot go there". Later, Liu Bang agreed to make him king. After all the land in Gucheng was granted to him, he led his troops to join the battle.

Zhang Liang was watching the battle on the hillside. He saw that the Yingbu and Pengyue troops were still unable to break through the Chu army's rear. In front, the Chu army stabilized their position after a short retreat, and fell into a stalemate with the Han army.

This time, Xiang Yu absorbed the lessons of his previous life, and did not stretch the front line too long at the beginning to prevent the lone army from going deep, but has been paying attention to the news of the rear army.Seeing that the defense line of the rear army is solid, I can't help but make up my mind.

Suddenly, "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom," the sound of the majestic drums of the Chu army's middle army sounded, even on the noisy battlefield, it was still deafening.

Xiang Yu yelled, "Liu Bang broke his promise! If you die, you will fight!"

The soldiers of the Chu army shouted, "Liu Bang betrayed his faith! If he dies, he will fight!"

"If you die, you will fight!"

Xiang Yu took the lead, brandishing his long halberd, and Xiang Zhuang swung his spear behind him. The Chu army, stepping on drums and holding spears, rushed desperately towards the Han army.In this charge, the Chu army also invested 5 people in the reserve army. After some rushing and killing, the Han army's position was disrupted.

Liu Bang frowned, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw a troop rushing up the mountain, the first general was the black horse, and on the banner behind him was the word "Xiang".Could it be Xiang Yu himself?Shocked, Liu Bang pulled his horse and fled, followed by Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.

"Liu Bang escaped!"

"Liu Bang escaped!"

After hearing this, the soldiers of the Han army lost their fighting spirit and fled back one after another. Xiang Yu swung his troops to cover up the kill and rushed straight for more than [-] li.When Liu Bang fled, Yingbo and Peng Yuejun also led their troops to retreat.

In this battle, the coalition forces of the Han princes lost 10 people, and the siege of Gaixia was immediately resolved.
