Chapter fifty-ninth unexpected situation
Li Yuan and Liu Bang, like two powerful men who were anxious, showed all their skills around the important town of Xingyang.
The war is in a stalemate.
The troops from both sides of the offense and defense have reached their limit, and the last bit of placing the bottom of the box is used. For generals at all levels, the only thing they can do is grit their teeth and hold on until the other party can't support it.
County governor's office.
As the most important aide under Li Yuan, Chen Ping's voice has been hoarse for many days, and his previous demeanor has disappeared with his busyness.
Li Yuan urged at the top of the city that Chen Ping would be responsible for the matter, thanks to Chen Ping's assistance, otherwise, relying solely on Fan Jia, Guan Yue and others who were capable of being alone would have been out of stock.
The battle between Li Yuanjun and Liu Bangjun continued for more than two months in the battle for the important town of Xingyang. Anyone with some military knowledge could see that the final victory and defeat had arrived.
Before this battle, the main tactics of the two armies confronted each other was to stand upright king's camps, and they were mainly fighting. As for siege, in the absence of gunpowder weapons, they were generally mainly siege cities and did not adopt strong attacks. Especially in the Spring and Autumn Period, some cities were surrounded for seven, eight months, or even more than a year, and finally reinforcements were brought in to turn defeat into victory.
This bloody battle in Xingyang completely overturned this traditional tactic. He spent his life on his life without paying attention to the fierce attacks of war and the killing of fugitive soldiers by the supervisory team, which made the battle enter a more cruel mode.
——.
The storm became heavier and heavier, spreading from Xingyang to all parts of Guandong.
Pingyin North.
An unexpected army was involved in this Rakuten War. The one who commanded the army was Han Cheng, a descendant of the Korean royal family, and the one who assisted Han Cheng was the most famous strategist in the late Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty: Liu Hou Zhang Liang.
After learning that the Qin army in Luoyang was advancing eastward, Liu Bang also launched a series of powerful forces. On the one hand, he planned to eliminate internal hidden dangers of the coalition forces, and on the other hand, he sent out several envoys, Xiang Chu, Han, Wei, Zhao and other anti-Qin forces, and were in a hurry again.
Compared with other forces, the Han army operating in Yingchuan County was closest to each other. So after the ghost Chen Ping appeared, Zhang Liang was finally brought into the vortex by the storm caused by Li Yuan. Luo Jia and Jiang Yu's resident actions in Pingyin did not escape Zhang Liang's eyes. Zhang Liang had long been close friends with Liu Bang. After carefully analyzing the dilemma faced by Liu Bang, he immediately persuaded Han Cheng to send troops to aid.
Luo Jia and Jiang Yu's experience in fighting and adaptability were still far behind Zhang Liang. Although the Qin army had the upper hand in the battle with Han Cheng and Zhang Liang, the Qin army was dragged down by the Korean army and advanced slowly for a while.
The Qin army on the west side was blocked by the Han army. In the west of Puyang, the five thousand Qin army from Zhayuan were unable to cross the river smoothly. The Chu army, who had been stopping in the Anyang area, suddenly exerted its efforts.
General Song Yi appointed by King Xiong Xin of Chu was killed by the bloody Xiang Yu. The Chu army then arrived at the periphery of Julu in just two days and two nights. The pressure faced by Zhang Han suddenly increased. Under the circumference of his last resort, Zhang Han urgently ordered Zhang Ping to lead the army back to the rescue. At the same time, he ordered Wang Li's army from Handan to quickly move south and meet with the main force of the Qin army in Julu. Zhang Han wanted to end all the wars in Guandong with a major battle.
The Qin army near the two routes was blocked, which made the Sujiao army from Handan go smoothly. The Qin border army had strong mobility and made all the forces trying to block them become dust-eating goods.
On December 29, 3rd year of Qin II, it was noon.
Su Jiao, a fierce Qin army general who was advancing along the way, penetrated the empty Liu Bang army like a bamboo shoot, and cooperated with the defenders inside and outside to launch a counterattack against the exhausted Liu army. The arrival of the Qin border army was like a bolt from the blue for the generals and soldiers of Liu army who had been exhausted after a long battle.
Su Jiao, who had been full of anger, led his army to fight fiercely. The combat effectiveness of the Qin border army was fully utilized in this battle. Liu Jun, who had been depleted of fighting spirit under the city, gradually became dissatisfied. Su Jiao's attack was unexpectedly smooth, and Li Shang, who was the blocking force of the rear army, was about to collapse. Seeing that the situation was not good, the generals such as Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying and others began to lead their troops to retreat south. Liu Bang seemed to have expected it and took the lead to contact Han Cheng and Zhang Liang first.
January 2nd.
Liu Bang led more than 17,000 troops from his headquarters to retreat to the Baima and Pingyin area, and then he did not stop to take over Luo's defeated soldiers, and then led his troops to Yingchuan and Nanyang areas.
The Second Battle of Xingyang ended with the Qin army's victory in the defense. The two battles were commanded by the Qin army generals surnamed Li, who were Li You before, and now Li Yuan.
——.
The Qin border troops raped. When dealing with the enemy, this army was sharp swords, and when dealing with their own people, these violent soldiers were also disgusting.
With the arrival of Su Jiao, the situation in Xingyang City where Li Yuan's family dominated was broken. Aunt Gongsun, who had been in contact with the border army, quickly turned to Su Jiao's arms.
A battle for ownership rights in Xingyang will begin again.
Dongcheng.
A light boat was swaying above the river channel, and there was no one else except Li Bi who was in charge of the helm. In the cabin, several important figures under Li Yuan were all here.
This was a secret gathering. After several bloody battles, Li Yuan finally planned to build his own team. Wen Chen Ping, Guan Yue, Hou Xi and others, Wu had Luo Jia, Jiang Yu and other generals. In addition to these direct generals and counselors, a group of middle and lower-level officers such as Zhang Fu, Hu Zhuang, He Ping, Cao Xin, Li Bi, Bai Guangji and other fellow villagers formed the support of Li Yuanjun.
A light swayed back and forth as the ship swayed, making the soap map in front of everyone feel as if it was alive.
"General, this time, the border army has gained a disadvantage. Ping is guilty. Please punish him." Chen Ping looked gloomy. The plan for the Battle of Xingyang was made by Chen Ping, but the result was unsatisfactory. It can be said that he resisted the tiger and went to the wolf at the back. This made Chen Ping, who has always claimed to be a strategy, very embarrassed and angry.
Originally, according to Chen Ping's plan, if Zhang Han and Wang Li come to support each other, after repelling Liu Bang, Xingyang will form a balanced situation where Zhang Han, Wang Li and Li Yuan's three forces are restrained. Among them, although Li Yuan is the weakest, he is a local snake, and the two guest troops are opposite each other. Li Yuan happens to mediate from it and find a glimmer of hope in the cracks. Unfortunately, Chen Ping's plan was ultimately unfulfilled after Xiang Yu's rapid advance westward.
"Sir, the words are serious. Things in the world are changing. If you predict the enemy first in everything, wouldn't it be the same as a god? Now, Su Jiao's border army has colluded with some forces in the city, and our army needs to make plans early." Li Yuan waved his hand and said.
He had no intention of blaming Chen Ping. At that time, Chen Ping was indeed a good plan to kill two birds with one stone. The situation of the battle was unpredictable. Not only did Zhang Han's reinforcements not arrive, but even the reserved Luo Jia army did not play its due role under the obstruction of the Korean army.
When everyone in the cabin was silent after hearing Li Yuan’s question, they finally occupied a little territory. Now they were about to be taken away by life. It was like raising a child with great effort and then being recognized in the blink of an eye.
