Chapter 173 Please enter the valley

After the Qin army attacked at night, they retreated in the darkness that was not yet completely transparent!

Based on reports from all parties, he finally learned that the Qin army had occupied the Xicheng Gate inside and outside. Then Xiang Zhuang, who took the opportunity to burn food and fodder, was furious. A group of baby soldiers and bloody battles had never fought a battle, and he actually took a big advantage under the nose of Xiang Zhuang. If the generals of Chu knew about this, wouldn't he lose face?

What’s more important is that the food and fodder are gone, and the main force of the Chu army will come next. What should we eat? Will we drink the northwest wind?

"The little thief with a halberd is indeed not a good species?" Xiang Zhuang raised some people and joined the group of Xiao Gongjiao who was delaying his departure. In addition, the soldiers and horses of various small princes such as Yin King Sima Qiong and Western Wei King Wei Bao who arrived in Luoyang one after another, a total of about 5,000 infantry and cavalry were chasing Han Xin's retreat.

The army passed by ten miles slope.

But from time to time, the scattered cavalry of the Chu army came towards us. When the fleeing cavalry saw Xiangzhuang's big banner, they immediately leaned over as if they had seen their relatives.

"Major General, no, Captain Huan was attacked by the enemy-!" A fleeing soldier looked anxious and shouted loudly before he could dismount.

"Is Huan Chu dead?" Xiang Zhuang felt a little laughed in his heart, his face turned pale instantly. The burning of food and fodder for negligence was already a big blame. If a general was given, even if Fan Zeng gave up on behalf of Xiang, someone would be embarrassed, and General Xiang Zhuang would inevitably be punished for demotion.

"No, no, Captain Huan is injured!" The escaped soldier was glared by Xiang Zhuang and finally came to his senses.

"Where are the people?" Xiang Zhuang asked.

"It's in the dense forest ahead, there are border soldiers. The Qin soldiers are coming here!" The escaped soldiers stammered, not knowing that at this time, his head had been sent to Xiang Zhuang.

"The Lord General was fighting hard, but you fled to death. Aren't you afraid of death?" Xiang Zhuang sneered. The big halberd in his hand stabbed out and cut off the escaped soldiers' throats.

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Huan Chu's cavalry was actually not weak in combat power. The reason why it collapsed suddenly was mainly because the fierce cavalry battle in the dark night last night was too fierce.

One life exchanges another life.

As long as you can still be on the right track, you must move forward bravely.

The bravery of the border army made the Chu army's elite cavalry feel the approaching death. The Chu army's cavalry now is no longer a pauper who had nothing to do during the Julu War. They don't care about anything except a bad life. Many of them got a lot of money when they entered Guanzhong for the first time. With this money, they returned home in glory like the overlord Xiang Yu, which made the young companions in the village envious.

With money and status, he married another beautiful and passionate little lady and gave birth to a boy with a hand. With such concerns, the combat effectiveness of the Chu army soldiers gradually declined.

Xiang Zhuang gathered Huan Chu's defeated cavalry. Unwilling to give up his defeat, he continued to pursue, trying to use a victory to recover his mistake. Unfortunately, Han Xin, in front of him, had a thorough grasp of the gambler's psychology of Xiang Zhuang. The Qin army fought and retreated, but was not far from the Chu army. When Xiang Zhuang finally came to kill, Meng Hu's cavalry was in front of him again, making Xiang Zhuang strong but unable to use it, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

In the midst of entanglement, Hongnong Jian is right in front of him.

The Qin infantrymen followed the pass of the valley and hid in it. Then Meng Hu's cavalry walked around the valley and quickly left the battlefield from another direction.

"What should I do? Should I divide the troops to pursue, or just take the whole way?" Xiang Zhuang was undecided for a moment.

"Major General, the valley ahead is deep. I am afraid that the enemy will have ambush. Why don't we retreat for the time being?" Xiao Gongjiao approached Xiangzhuang and whispered.

In the battle late at night, if he hadn't delayed his speed, Huan Chu would not have attacked alone. If he had joined forces to fight together, the Chu cavalry, who had obviously superior strength, would not have been defeated with the little force of the border army. Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang looked at Xiao Gongjiao and became fierce.

"What kind of troops are we going to retreat? We want to advance. Captain Xiao, you go and kill Han Xin and avenge Captain Huan." Xiang Zhuang snorted coldly and shouted.

"This, Han Xin has thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and I have only a thousand cavalry--!" Xiao Gongjiao stammered.

"If you don't go, can you afford to take the crime of missing the prison last night?" Xiang Zhuang shouted loudly. His voice was like a 300 taels of silver, which forced Xiao Gongjiao to a dead corner.

If you don't go, you can take on all the crimes of inattention. If you go, you will make great contributions, and then everything can be just assumed that nothing has happened. During the days when Xiang Zhuang followed Fan Zeng, he may not have learned anything, but he has some skills in the art of being a singular.

"I'll go into the valley to chase after you!" Mr. Xiao's horny face turned red, and he had to surrender in the end. A grassroots general like him who had no background and no strength, and fought with a tall, rich and handsome man like Xiang Zhuang, but there was only one.

——.

Hongnongjian.

After three days of continuous rain and stream water converge, Sai Lake has formed a lake that can accommodate more than 500 people. This small mountain lake blocked by artificially shaking waves, and the shadows of trees are reflected on the lake, making people unable to bear to destroy and break its tranquility.

"Marty Li, the enemy has entered the valley, and there are about a thousand people." Jiang Yu came out of the forest in sweat and reported to Li Yuan who was looking at the distance.

"According to General Han, Xiangzhuang has more than this. Are the other Chu soldiers still stranded outside the valley?" Li Yuan asked. The scouts sent by Han Xin had arrived, but the enemy troops were still wandering around the valley at this time. They still need to continue to drag the Chu army's pursuit.

"Look at the banner of the Chu army, it should be Xiao Gongjiao's troops, Xiang Zhuang did not enter the valley." Jiang Yu replied.

"Give Han Xin a banner, organize an ambush to siege Xiao Gongjiao and lure Xiangzhuang into the valley to reinforce." Li Yuan ordered that a Xiao Gongjiao would not be able to use a killing weapon like the water of the lake.

Xiao Gongjiao is very unlucky.

He didn't want to enter the valley, but was forced into the valley by Xiangzhuang. Shortly after entering the valley, Xiao Gongjiao found out in despair that he had fallen into a trap. Han Xin's army surged out from all corners of the valley and surrounded his more than a thousand troops.

"Hurry, give the major general a reward, just say Han Xin has counterattacked!" Xiao Gongjiao ordered the troops to gather, and called the scout Kuaima to order.

What was Xiang Zhuang's idea? Xiao Gongjiao thought for a moment and understood that Xiang Zhuang wanted to turn defeat into victory, use his own bait to lead Han Xin out, and then he would take another counter-encircle and eat Han Xin's troops.

Seeing a scout running out of the valley, and hearing the sound of killing in the valley again, Xiang Zhuang showed a proud look on his face. Many people think that Xiang Zhuang is a brave but not a resourceful man. Today, he also wants to use a strategy to let those who despise him see what kind of person Xiang Zhuang is?

"My sons, I ate the dry food and took the sword. Let's kill Qin dogs." Xiang Zhuang shouted loudly and turned his back on the horse first.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

After a brief rest, Xiang Zhuang had more than 1,700 cavalry and more than 4,000 infantrymen had recovered their energy. He rushed into Xiang Zhuang in the valley first and saw Xiao Gongjiao surrounded in the middle of the valley road, and the bodies of Chu and Qin soldiers who were lying all over the ground beside him.

Xiao Gongjiao was desperate. No matter what, he had to drag him to Xiangzhuang to rescue him. Otherwise, even if he died, his relatives would be treated as slaves by his family members as guilty generals. This is something that Xiao Gongjiao could never bear.

"Da Chu, kill!"

At the order of Xiang Zhuang, he saw the Chu soldiers who had a advantage and rushed towards the center of the battlefield quickly. At the same time, he saw reinforcements coming to rescue the Xiao cavalry.

Attack on both sides.

After a concerted effort, the young men of the Han Xin army gradually lost their aura. Just now, the team under Gan Liulang led Feng Gouzi to make a contribution and approached Xiao Gongjiao not far away, but did not want to be besieged by Xiao's army. With the help of the few, Feng Gouzi fought hard to kill the two of them, and was eventually chopped over to the ground by the scattered blade.

Gan Liulang, who was in charge of the task of cutting off the rear, was so tired that he could hardly take up the knife. This night was an unforgettable night for those underage boys.

"The general has an order to retreat!"

After persisting for a long time, I finally waited for the order to retreat that I had been thinking about in my heart. However, almost all the Qin generals and soldiers who were still fighting seemed to have not heard it. Their eyes were red, and they continued to fight with the increasing number of Chu soldiers and their lives were fighting for their youth.

"Go away! If you violate the order, kill!" Han Xin screamed hoarsely. The stalemate situation in the back team made him anxious. There is no need to say much about the bravery and desperateness of these young soldiers, but they still need further encouragement in strictly enforcing iron discipline. They have not yet understood the true meaning of "obedience".

"Han Xin! Where can I escape--." Xiang Zhuang laughed loudly, led a team of personal cavalry to chop over the Qin army infantry who could not avoid it one by one. This battle was about to turn defeat into victory, which made his tense nerves begin to relax.

——.

On the lake.

Li Yuan was anxiously waiting for the news that Jiang Yu sent back in flag language. As long as Han Xin's back team could successfully get out of a distance, the soldiers who had already prepared here would dig up the dike and pour down the full lake of water.

The narrow valley will increase the speed and energy of the water flow. The mudslide mixed with mud and sand and stone will show unparalleled power in nature under the action of gravity.

"Jiang Yu, why haven't he received the response?" Li Yuan felt uneasy. Jiang Yu's thousand soldiers were all composed of old soldiers who were used to fighting. They were ambushed on the side of the mountainside of the valley road. According to the pre-conceived idea, they would intercept Xiang Zhuang's men when Han Xin could not get rid of the pursuers.

"Mr. Li, General Jiang's flag is moving." When time was about to stagnate, Li Yuan finally heard the shouts of the soldiers who reported the news.

"Hurry up, drown the enemy-!" Li Yuan shouted. With excitement, he grabbed a copper hoe and fell hard towards the gap that had already begun to loosen.

Note: I'm sorry. I'm too excited and didn't see clearly, but the head of the sect is also the leader of the sect. Haha, thank you again! (To be continued.)
