Chapter 26 Iron Cavalry Assault
"What's going on? What's the emergency military situation?"
When Liu Bang heard the call of the messenger, his heart suddenly jumped, as if a strong and unknown came quickly, and his complacent smile had completely dissipated.
Zhang Liang also made a clang and his face suddenly changed.
"Attacking the Malay newspaper, tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly rushed over from Luoyang..."
The spy was breathless and quickly reported the military information he received.
"Ten thousand cavalry?"
Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, Chen Yu and others not far away looked at each other and could see the panic in each other's eyes. Tens of thousands of Chu cavalry rushed from the direction of Luoyang.
This means that Luoyang City, which had just been taken down by the coalition of princes, fell into the hands of the Chu army again.
Now that the army of princes is approaching Hangu Pass, there are tens of thousands of elite Chu troops led by Xiang Zhuang in front, and tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly appear behind. The coalition of princes was attacked from both sides.
"Don't panic! Just tens of thousands of cavalry, our coalition forces have hundreds of thousands. As long as we stabilize the camp and respond slowly, what can we do if the Chu army attacks on both sides? How can we be our opponent if there are less than 100,000 soldiers?"
Liu Bang reacted very quickly, and immediately laughed and pretended to be indifferent.
Zhang Liang also smiled and said, "The king is right. If a few tens of thousands of cavalry arrive at the assault while our army is siegeing the city, it may cause great trouble to our army!"
"Now that the other party has been discovered by us, it cannot affect the overall situation!"
That's what it means.
But a layer of gloom appeared in Liu Bang and Zhang Liang's hearts, especially Zhang Liang, so he had to think more.
"Ten thousand elite cavalrymen... How did the Chu army react so quickly! From the assassination of Long Qi to the present, but in a short time, if the Chu army receives the news to send troops, it will not be ready for a while!"
"Unless the Chu army was ready to deal with the King of Nanyang, they gathered troops nearby!"
When Zhang Liang thought of this possibility, he became more and more uneasy.
"King of Nanyang, what should we do now? Should we divide our troops to attack Hangu Pass, or set up camp first?"
Chen Yu asked with a frown.
Liu Bang pondered for a while and now attacking Hangu Pass, the princes' army entered the footsteps of the Qin army not long ago. The Qin army was also attacked by the Chu army when besieging Handan.
As a result, although he had an army of 400,000, he could only divide into two troops and was defeated by the Chu army in succession.
Now the coalition of princes is under Hangu Pass, and there are also tens of thousands of Chu cavalry behind them. With such a similar situation, Liu Bang dared not learn from Zhang Han and Wang Li.
"Our army will set up camp first. When building the camp, we will send a horse to find out the origins of these tens of thousands of cavalrymen!"
Liu Bang said in a deep voice.
Although his ability to command troops cannot be compared with that of Xiang Yu and Han Xin, he is extremely outstanding compared to others.
At least in the original timeline, Han Xin praised him for being able to lead a hundred thousand people.
Such an evaluation is much better than Longji and Yingbu.
The ability to command troops is definitely the third in the world.
Of course, if divided according to data, the first and second are all the full value of 100, and the third one is only more than 80.
Although such ability is not considered a top-notch general, it is still very clear about the means of generals such as camping and camping, and there are no flaws to be found.
With his order, hundreds of thousands of vassal coalition forces began to be divided into two parts.
Some elites stood behind to prevent sudden cavalry assaults. A small number of men began to cut wood in the mountains and forests on both sides and build camps on the spot.
"There should be no mistakes if more than 200,000 elite troops form a battle formation!"
While these soldiers and horses were following the orders, Liu Bang brought Zhang Liang and others to a relatively high mound nearby.
Standing in the direction of the high ground, I saw a dark area of dozens of miles, all of which were the soldiers of the coalition forces of the princes.
On the east side, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses specially drawn were stacked and formed a large formation to prevent the enemy from raiding. In the direction of Hangu Pass, there was also an elite force waiting for the battle.
Zhang Liang nodded slightly and said, "The five generals under the command of the Overlord have the strongest ability. The leader Long Qi is dead. Ji Bu is in Xiangyang and Zhongli Mei is in Qi."
"This time the troops were leading the attack were either Ying Bu or Yu Ziqi!"
Liu Bang said: "That must be Yu Ziqi. Ying Bu is like an eagle. He is hungry and uses it. If he is full, he will go away. He has just received a generous reward. It is probably not as easy as the overlord who wants to drive him."
Zhang Liang couldn't help but look at him when he heard this.
Liu Bang's description of Ying Bu is very appropriate. This is the case with Ying Bu in the records of the Book of Heaven. Not to mention Liu Bang's other abilities, he has to accept this ability to look at people and employ people.
"Yu Ziqi, it is said that he is the brother-in-law of the Overlord. He has never seen him lead a army before, and he doesn't know his true ability!"
There was a hint of pressure in Liu Bang's eyes.
In essence, he was like Yu Ziqi, and he was the first time he was commanding an army of hundreds of thousands, and he had no experience.
If he messed up, he would probably never have the power to turn over again.
Buzz ~ Buzz!
At this time, a slight roar came from afar.
Then, the buzzing gradually became louder and louder.
Liu Bang and Zhang Liang's expressions changed, and they immediately looked in the direction where the sound came, and saw a torrent gradually appearing on the wilderness in the distance.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen are gradually coming from far to near.
The roar of the horse's hooves was like thunder, causing a hint of fear to the soldiers of the allied forces of the princes.
But it's fine.
It seemed that more than 200,000 elite soldiers in front formed a large blocking formation, and tens of thousands of cavalry gradually stopped to gallop ten miles away.
These tens of thousands of cavalry slowly stopped under the eyes of the princes' army.
The cavalry in front took out soybeans from their bags and began to feed the horses, treating the army of princes in front as air.
This kind of arrogant arrogance is the momentum of the most elite cavalry of Chu State.
"So overbearing, this doesn't take us seriously!"
One by one, the commanders came one after another, clearly spreading the situation of the Chu cavalry to the mound.
Liu Bang's expression was a little bad when he heard this.
"What can the Chu army do when they come by, no matter how arrogant they are? Can they still rush directly to the battlefield? If the Chu army really does this, what if there is a saying, they are at the end of their strength!"
"At that time, with the king's order, no matter how powerful the cavalry is, it will be wiped out!"
Xiahou Ying, who had been following Liu Bang, sneered.
Liu Bang couldn't help laughing, patted Xiahou Ying's shoulder intimately, and said with a smile: "Now everyone knows reading books, and knows the words "The last word of strength, you have grown a lot."
He hasn't finished speaking.
Woo woo woo woo woo!
The sound of the Chu army's horn came from a very far away.
"This is a signal to attack!"
Liu Bang immediately turned his head and continued to look in the direction of the Chu army.
His strength is limited, and he can only see a vague shadow from such a distance. He cannot see the other party's detailed actions clearly.
ah……
At this moment, the front army of the princes suddenly heard a terrifying noise, which was like boiling boiling water, constantly conveying towards the surroundings.
Liu Bang listened carefully and vaguely heard some soldiers' terrified screams.
"The Overlord's Flag!"
