Chapter 24 Gale Song
Yang Xiong was defeated. After suffering a great loss, he finally put away his contempt. On the way to retreat to the white horse, Yang Xiong's personal soldiers were more than 4,000 cavalrymen, and then he barely saved the 17,000 infantrymen from getting out of the trap.
"Monday, your arm?" When Li Yuan saw Yang Xiong again, he saw that the man who was still thundering not long ago was thin, his imposing face was thin, his eyes were deep, and he was no longer as arrogant as he was on the same day. Yang Xiong's left arm was cut off from his elbow, leaving only a short piece of the robe that was dyed with blood and black hair.
"It's nothing to be bitten by a mad dog, it's not a big deal, it won't take the life of your Grandpa Yang. Li Yuan, I heard from Sima that the other side was occupied by a traitor?" Yang Xiong said loudly, but his eyes showed unwillingness. This defeat shattered his unrealistic fantasy, and Liu Bang's strength made him even more afraid. In contrast, it was even more difficult for Li Yuan to kill the Liu army pioneer Fan Kuai without his superiority in military strength.
"Return to the scout, the day and night before, Liu's general Li Shang led an elite army from Yaojiajin to expel the two counties of Xingyang stationed on the other side. The ships moored along the river on the north bank were destroyed. Our army can no longer retreat from the ferry north." Li Yuan nodded silently and replied truthfully that the army stationed on the north bank of Baima Ferry belonged to the command of Zhao Ben, the county magistrate in the city, and had no affiliation with Li Yuan. Li Yuan did not know the reason for the evacuation of the Qin army on the north bank, and would not express any opinions.
"Zhao Ben, how dare you--." Yang Xiong hit his chest with anger. He was always so straightforward that he did not expect that Zhao Ben was still playing a trick of fighting in the nest under the circumstances of the enemy. Could it be that he could not understand that if Yang Xiong was completely wiped out, how could this Xingyang City be defended?
"The county magistrate, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to be anxious. Fortunately, Li Duwei has food and fodder in Baima Village, and our army still has a chance to breathe. It is better to repair the camp and rectify the soldiers first to prevent the rebels from attacking him in a hurry." Sima Yin persuaded.
Sima Yin, who has always been a soldier, has a deep experience in Xingyang. From the secretary to the army Sima, and then to the county magistrate, the battles surrounding the Sanchuan County Magistrate were like big dramas, which made people dizzy. Compared with Zhao Ben, who was gloomy and used to calculating, Sima Yin and Li You and Yang Xiong got closer, which also made Zhao Ben feel angry with him. This time, the other two of the three commanders in Xingyang had moved closer to Zhao Ben, and Sima Yin was the only one who was still involved with Yang Xiong.
Yang Xiong lost too much blood and was also angry. Benqiang held his breath to support the white horse and was at the end of his strength. After hearing Sima Yin and Li Yuan had a solution, he stopped talking. Seeing that Yang Xiong's sturdy body was shaking after dismounting, Li Yuan hurriedly called the doctor to see Yang Xiong for treatment.
The Qin army was resting on the white horse, and nearly 20,000 generals and soldiers who escaped from this were urgently needed to be reorganized. The remaining troops of the fallen generals were organized under other generals, and then arranged various camping matters. Li Yuan and Sima Yin were busy. Thanks to the chaos in the defeated army, Li Yuan also took advantage of the situation and gave the vacancies to fill the vacancies. Sima Yin turned a blind eye to this. In his opinion, Li Yuan's military positions were all too small, and his ability was enough to be able to take on higher-level military positions and lead more troops.
——.
The red scarf tied his neck, and there were swords and guns. The solemn generals of the Chu army, panting with rapid breathing, covered the wilderness around the white horse, and Liu Bang's army, who was chasing Yang Xiong, advanced to the white horse.
The prefect of Chudang County and Wu'an Hou Liu's big red flag appeared in the central army of the coalition army. Liu Bang was covered with a stern body and held a sword in his hand. He looked cold, changing his former smile and unruly and friendly image.
Liu Bang just got the exact information, Li Yuan, the Qin Dog who had met from afar, was on the white horse. The executioner who killed Fan Kuai was finally blocked by Li Shang.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Liu Bang was just a pavilion chief and didn’t study much. Of course, he was not a gentleman. Revenge is his motto.
At Quyu, Liu Bang, who was angry, showed all the strength and charm of his age. With his earnest lobbying, the anti-Qin army joined the ranks of attack. One by one, who believed that he was a hero, stood together. Fan Kuai's death made Liu Bang the well-deserved commander of the coalition army.
Unfortunately, Li Yuan was not in Qu Yu, which made Liu Bang feel a little regretful in his record of defeating tens of thousands of enemies. Fortunately, Li Yuan could not escape this time.
October 23rd.
Liu Bang and Yang Xiong fought against the white horse again, and the two armies faced each other. The tones of red and black once again filled the entire wilderness. The autumn grass was golden. I wonder if it would grow more luxuriant after nourishing the green blood in the next year.
The grass on the Lili land, withering and flourishing every year.
This is true for plants and trees, and so is the change of dynasties.
The sound of war drums rang out.
Among the coalition forces, the passionate drum beats were like roaring waves, which raised the morale of the soldiers to the peak. The war was approaching. Whether it was the general or the soldiers, they all admired Liu Bang, the Marquis of Wu'an who had won the victory in Quyu.
Witnessing the majestic military appearance, Liu Bang raised his right hand high, pulled his sword high above the top, and the fierce drum sound suddenly stopped. All the soldiers turned their eyes to Liu Bang under the banner. There was no other sound between the world, only the heavy breathing of the soldiers and the bleak cold wind blowing the flags.
"The wind is blowing, and the clouds are flying!" Liu Bang shouted, and behind him, hundreds of personal soldiers responded in unison. For a moment, the passionate sound pierced the silent sky and clearly entered the eardrums of each soldier.
"Clouds are flying!"
"The wind is blowing!"
The soldiers of the coalition army shouted loudly, their faces filled with excitement and uncontrollable expressions. The inspirational effect of the army's war song made them buoy and shout. The crowd was excited, and the huge sounds were like mountains and earth breaking, covering up all the sounds in the world.
"A man's husband will not achieve success in his generation, and he will achieve success in his career. Today is the same! Kill!" Liu Bang shouted loudly, and he was also infected by the heroic and powerful military song he made for his rise. Although there is only one sentence, it is enough. Compared with the Qin army's "The Old Qin", this "The Song of the Great Wind" is not inferior at all.
"kill!"
"kill!"
The coalition generals responded, and the military power was greatly boosted. Under the command of generals at all levels, they began to launch a scattered attack on the Qin army, which was lined up in close defense camps.
On the left wing of the coalition army, Liu Jun's general, Xuanling Jun Guan Ying, was covered in red armor, and was covered in burning flames. A long halberd in his hand was like a dazzling silver flower. He entered the Qin army formation, and all of them were covered in dust! Behind Guan Ying, five hundred cavalrymen followed closely regardless of life and death. Wherever this team of cavalrymen passed, the Qin army's infantry formation was broken, and for a moment, Guan Ying was like a treading wave, directly directly at the command of the Qin army's central army.
On the right wing of the coalition army, Jiancheng Jun Cao Shen led 10,000 infantry to suppress it with a resolute force. In the middle of the coalition army, Xiahou Ying served as the vanguard of the front army. He personally drove a chariot to rush forward. Seeing that Liu Bang's army was so brave, the generals of the coalition army gathered in Jinghui and roared forward.
