Chapter 241 The Great Battle (1)

Lu Wan was in fear.

Not only him, but other Han army strategists were also deeply desperate about the strength of the Qin army. This was a contest of national strength. On this level, the Han State that Liu Bang first established could not be compared with the vast Qin State.

"The King of Han, the Taiwei's body was sent back, and the soldiers in the army were in a state of turmoil, and generals at all levels were also talking. If they could not suppress them, they were afraid that the entire army would collapse." Xiao He stood up and advised with a worried look on his face.

As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Xiao He has worked hard and worked hard this year. He recruited a large amount of food and fodder in the unfamiliar old Chu land of Nanjun and Nanyang County, which gave Liu Bang a chance to make a comeback. Now, there are few generals leading troops and fighting, so Xiao He has to take on more responsibilities.

"Xiao Xiang, please send the order down and open all the baggage warehouses, so that the brothers can eat enough, and then increase the bounty for killing Qin soldiers ten times. I will go to the battle myself early tomorrow morning to fight against Li thieves." Liu Bang tried his best with his robe sleeves, and then said resolutely.

"King, this is absolutely impossible. Our army is not strong enough. If the war is not good," Lu Wan, who was still in panic, was shocked and quickly advised him.

Liu Bang was so arrogant that he shouted sternly: "Lu Wan, go and tell the generals of the army that this battle is for the life and death of our Han Dynasty. I, Liu Ji, should rush forward and never retreat. If you do not respond to this, you will not die well if you hit the sky with thunder."

After crying, King Liu Bang of Han finally calmed down. When his eyes swept through the account, he was disappointed to find that the only one Xiahou Ying was left in front of him, who was once full of talents.

This is all caused by Li Yuan, the little thief.

If this revenge is not avenged, then when will it last? When the weak invades the body year by year, and when the illness and pain torture the spirit again and again, Liu Bang actually has no way out.

Liu Bang's oath made Xiahou Ying, Xiao He, Lu Wan and others in the tent feel the desolation of the wind and the cold of Yishui. The difference is that Xiahou Ying's heart was excited. Although Liu Bang's gambling-style decisive battle action, in the eyes of Lu Wan and other strategists, the chance of winning was no more than 50%, it was this action that made Xiahou Ying feel a little warm.

"Aji, it has not changed. It is still the Peixian Pavilion Chief who is willing to die for him." Xiahou Ying's crazy eyes followed Liu Bang's desolate figure, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands but trembling constantly.

"Li Yuan, don't you want to see my old Liu joke? Then come on, let's take a look tomorrow. Is it the flag of my great man flying, or the flag of your Qin people waving." Liu Bang rose up, suddenly pulled out his sword from his waist, and shouted loudly.

Xiao He looked at the old brother Liu Bang with a complicated expression. It was a long time after the White Snake was killed in Mangdang Mountain. As Liu Bang's official position grew bigger and bigger, the bloodiness in him that once made people sacrifice their lives was gradually gone. Now, when the Han Dynasty was facing a huge threat, Liu Bang finally found what he had lost.

Keeping is also a failure.

Not keeping is also defeat.

After considering the strength of Qin and Han sides, Liu Bang, in the dilemma, made an unexpected decision.

The last momentum of the powerful crossbow cannot penetrate Lu silk.

The Qin army was in a row of victories. The performance was indeed unstoppable, but the generals and soldiers fought hard one after another. Both fatigue and energy had reached their limits. This was the reason for the decisive battle that Liu Bang could find for his side.

——.

Qin army camp.

A joyful and festive atmosphere.

Inspired by the victory, Li Yuan ordered that the entire army, in addition to the patrol troops, would freely drink and celebrate the successful capture of Wancheng. As the first general of Xiancheng, Chen Xi and his subordinates were also invited to the banquet. Facing the once hostile Qin generals, Chen Xi's expression was a little unnatural, but fortunately, Li Yuan's calm smile and faint smile gradually stabilized his uneasy mood.

"General Chen, you are a general in the Han army. Can you tell us what the real combat power of the Han army is? In addition to the vanguard troops led by Guan Ying and Xiahou Ying, what other combatable troops are there in the Han army?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

When Chen Xi heard Li Yuan ask, he stood up respectfully and said, "Reported to the Marquis of Wu and Han Army, most of them were recruited by young men in Jiangze. These troops have only been formed for three or four months, and the weapons in their hands are not complete. Some of them hold simple weapons such as sticks, and their combat effectiveness is incomparable to the Qin army."

Chen Xi's words have obvious compliments. As a new general, he doesn't understand Li Yuan's temperament. In addition, Su Jiao, Han Xin and other Qin generals are eyeing him, so Chen Xi naturally said good things one after another.

Li Yuan's face darkened and suddenly changed color and said, "General Chen, is he going to make a secret room for Liu Ji? I have known this information in the Han army, so there is no need for the general to remind him again. Now, I will ask again what other troops in the Han army are capable of combat power and what are their characteristics."

Chen Xi was frightened by Li Yuan's snorting, and his fair face turned red and white. After thinking for a while, he said: "By Wuhou, as far as the general knows, there is a member of Liu Bang's army from Man Yue. The general led by Mei Juan. He heard that he was recruited from Lingnan. This person had fought with the Qin army in the southern expedition. The general heard them boasting that even the Qin State's national magistrate Tu Sui was killed when attacking this group of Man Yue tribe."

"Mei Juan, are people from Shanyue from Wuling?" Li Yuan asked.

Chen Xi nodded and said, "It should be people from this area, the five heroes of the Mei family. I heard that they are powerful generals under the command of Wu Rui, the King of Changsha. If Xiao He had not rewarded a lot of money this time, Mei Juan would not have gone north."

The Qin camp banquet lasted until very late, which was a rare time. After many days of nervousness, the Qin army generals and schoolmen were released this night.

Start tomorrow.

Their supply and retreat routes were no longer blocked. The reinforcements and supplies from Bashu, Guanzhong and Sanchuan could be continuously transported to Wancheng, a newly occupied transportation critical point. It can be imagined that in the near future, the Qin army's military advantage in Nanjun will become more and more obvious.

The appearance of the five heroes of the Mei family and the Shanyue people made Li Yuan frown involuntarily. As a general of Qin, Tu Sui's name could not be unknown.

Because this is related to another elite Qin army besides the border army: the Southern Legion of the Great Qinling Mountains.

This army of 200,000 elite Qin army, 200,000 prisoners, and 500,000 strong men were recruited from all over the country. After the anti-Qin turmoil broke out, it unexpectedly chose to block the Wuling Pass. This made Qin State capture Hangu Pass by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising troops and almost occupy the capital Xianyang.

What is the situation in Lingnan?

Li Yuan could not know when the passage was blocked. At best, what he could foresee was only a few records in history books: After Ren Xiao died of illness, Zhao Tuo was established, and then sent troops to annex the Nanhai and Xiangjun, unified the various units in Lingnan, and finally established the Nanyue Dynasty in the Panyu area.

When the Qin army continued to pacify the princes to the south, what would happen to the deteriorated Qin army, which was independently divided by Zhao Tuo, would do? Li Yuan suddenly felt that there was a completely strange freshness after the expansion of the new territory.

Perhaps it was time to send Lu Jia to Lingnan. No matter what Zhao Tuo thought, at least Li Yuan would now understand what kind of attitude Zhao Tuo would have towards the revived Qin State.

——.

Perfect day.

The Han army camp ten miles behind Wolonggang had a shrill horn sounded early in the morning. Teams of Han soldiers ran out of the tent and, under the urging of the generals and officers of the headquarters, began to set out.

last night.

The large amount of food, fodder and money brought back from the baggage camp by Sima in the army made these humble soldiers who had never seen so many good things shine.

"A Qin soldiers' heads will be rewarded with ten golds; a Qin lieutenant-level officer will be rewarded with hundreds of golds; a Qin general's heads will be rewarded with thousands of golds. If he can take the heads of Li Yuan, the Shenwu Marquis of Qin, he will be rewarded with ten thousand golds and acres of land, and he will be exempted from taxes for three years."

Under such stimulation measures, the morale of the Han army expanded rapidly like a balloon. Of course, this abnormal rise often occurred in the new soldiers and the barbarian and Yue troops from the south. For those old soldiers who fought many times with the Qin army, repeatedly defeated and repeatedly defeated, no matter how exciting they were, they could not arouse their desire to fight.

Compared with heavy rewards, life is the most important thing.

King Liu Bang of Han got up early, put on his helmet and armor, and hung a big sword on his waist. He stood on the chariot driven by Xiahou Ying himself, a gorgeous chariot pulled by eight strong horses.

After King Wuling of Zhao was riding and shooting, he gradually replaced the chariot with horse-riding combat and became the main means of transportation and combat assistance for generals in the army. However, for Liu Bang, who was inconvenient in his legs, he still prefers to stand firmly in the chariot.

On Liu Bang's left wing.

It is a strange army dressed a little similar to the Ba people in the Qin army, covered with various colors. This Man Yue tribe from the Wuling area is the army of Mei Juan mentioned by Chen Xi and Li Yuan.

——.

The Han army unexpectedly went to war!

When Li Yuan heard about this news, he was surprised and could not help but admire Liu Bang's courage.

The person who can become the founding Emperor Gaozu would not be a weak person no matter how he said. Liu Bang had already shown his wisdom and tenacity in the previous few confrontations, and now his tenacity and indomitableness have also been revealed.

"Tell all troops to fight!" Li Yuan shouted.

After receiving the order from Li Yuan, Han Xin, Cao Xin, Su Jiao, Meng Hu and other generals were all ready to try. The two juniors Feng Xuan and Zhang Ping were in the limelight in the previous episode, making them envious of those who believed they were arrogant soldiers and generals in the Qin army.

A long-awaited decisive battle was actually what Li Yuan wanted. If Liu Bang had been hiding, it would take at least half a year for the Qin army to completely wipe out the anti-Qin forces in the Nanjun area. This would be an unaffordable time for the Qin State, which was shrouded in the huge shadow of the Huns Maodun.

Now, the Qin army has a leading advantage in terms of military branches, morale and technology. In terms of commanding generals, it is much richer than the remaining generals and schools of Liu Bang. Li Yuan had the confidence to win his own dignity in this decisive battle that determined the fate of Qin and Han countries.
