Chapter 243 End of the first round
kill."
"Stop them."
The two men were only a few dozen steps apart. Li You wanted to lead people out, while Wei Bao wanted to stop Li You and others.
Wei Bao took the lead and waved the long sword in his hand with a ferocious face. Wei Bao was a bandit, but he was able to win over tens of thousands of people, so this person also had the ability to form a formation. Wei Bao was ruthless and had to block the group of people no matter what he said today, otherwise Xiang Yu would probably have no way to explain it.
Because he was dressed up as a thief army, Li You wore the enemy's clothes and his weapons and equipment were all from the enemy. Without the advantage of equipment, even if the Qin army was well-trained and could face the enemy ten times his own, it would be difficult for a while to resist it.
"Puff."
"Puff."
This is the sound of a knife and a knife entering the flesh. Except for a few people, everyone basically has no armor. Now both sides are starting to fight desperately, and this melee is extremely bloody.
Now, whether it is Fan Kuai's troops in front or Li You who is cooking food behind, although the battlefields on both sides have reached a point of intense heat, the Qin army's tactical purpose has been achieved. Xiang Yu, who has lost Zhang Liang, seems to have begun to be led by Han Xin.
The fierce flames ignited in the direction of the granary were unknown to the Qin army, but the Chu army naturally saw them too. The soldiers who had been hiding outside the camp in advance began to attack the rear camp after the fire was ignited, hoping to help Li You in the camp withdraw.
Chu army, central army tent
The granary is on fire, the king.”
"Let's go back to put out the fire first."
Xiang Zhuang said with a fist clasped his fists, and his sweaty look obviously extremely nervous.
"No, now I'm going back to the army, I'm going to be the Qin army's plan. The front line is now at a time when the war is intensified. If you don't want to go back to the army rashly, you're going to retreat."
"I don't want food anymore. I ordered Long Qi to lead the cavalry and block the Qin army in the back camp for me." Xiang Yu said firmly. I have to say that Xiang Yu's interpretation of the battlefield form was extremely accurate.
Now on the front battlefield, the Chu army is currently at the forefront. But once Xiang Yu wants to go back, he will put out the fire, and he will definitely lose sight of the other and throw watermelons and pick up sesame seeds. Once the Chu army is in a little less momentum, Han Xin's ten-faced ambush will inevitably rush forward to attack Xiang Yu and catch him off guard.
"But king, if there is no food and grass, our military rations may only last for three days at most." Xiang Zhuang said worriedly.
"No need to say more. Since you can only last for three days, you will conquer Fengxian within three days." Xiang Yu said without doubt.
Xiang Yu is now like a crazy gambler. He will be able to capture Fengxian within three days. Taking Fengxian will naturally be no problem. But if he can't take it, then the Qin army can trap the Chu army even if it doesn't move one soldier or another.
"Run out from the wing."
At this time, the Qin army arranged by Li You were attacking fiercely. The flanks of Wei Bao's troops wanted to tear a hole in the surround. However, five thousand people fell into the siege of 50,000 people, and it was so easy to rush out.
Although the array of Wei Bao's army was very chaotic, this unskilled human wall was enough to make Li You headache. You cut a row of people and came up from behind. These thieves also knew that if they could not stop Li You and others, they would not be able to get away, so they all used their strength to visit the kilns.
"Wei Bao, get out of here."
"I'll do it."
It was really raining all night. When Li You couldn't get rid of Wei Bao and others, the three thousand Chu cavalry led by Long Qi were already feeling it.
The Qin army was almost surrounded by a bandit army several times its own. Wei Bao had too many people, which affected the charge of the Chu cavalry. So Long Qi shouted and asked Wei Bao's men to withdraw from the encirclement. He handed over these Qin troops to him. After a great battle, Li You's subordinates were less than 3,000, and each of them were almost exhausted. However, Long Qi led three thousand lively cavalry, which seemed to have become a dead end.
When Long Qi shouted, the bandits saw that the main leader was coming, so they naturally gave Li You and others to Long Qi, and began to defend against the Qin army that was being met outside the camp. As soon as the bandits retreated, Li You and others were about 500 steps away from the gate of the camp, but the cavalry of Long Qi also had more than 500 steps away from them. The distance between these five hundred steps was the distance between life and death. Five hundred legs, the two legs of a man obviously could not escape the four legs of a horse.
"Take General Li away."
A roar came, and someone in the Qin army turned around and rushed towards Long Qi's cavalry. One thousand, two thousand, almost all the Qin army began to turn back.
More than a hundred personal soldiers beside Li You were stunned at first and immediately protected Li You and ran out of the camp gate. Sacrifice in the war has always been essential, and the sacrifices of these people are valuable only when Li You go out alive.
The exhausted infantry rushed to the cavalry that was raising their strength fearlessly, which was simply a death. But the facts proved that such death was valuable. When Long Qi cleared these obstacles, Li You was already protected and rushed out of the camp and joined the Qin army outside.
Looking at Li You outside the camp, Long Qi could only see You Xingting at all. There was more than 10,000 fully armed Qin troops outside the camp, and his three thousand cavalry were not sure of rushing to the formation. As for Wei Bao's thief army, he never took these people into his eyes.
At this time, Han Xin was holding a telescope and staring at the battlefield.
"The Chu army did not return to put out the fire." Liu Bang said to Han Xin.
"There are ways to put out fires, and if you don't save them, there are ways to put out fires." Han Xin said with full information.
"Sentence, attack the whole line hard, and hurt Xiang Yu." Han Xin said to the message.
"If we are defending now, Xiang Yu's army will lose food and grass and will not last long. If we attack, will there be too many casualties?"
Liu Bang said to Han Xin.
"If it is under custody, Xiang Yu can withdraw at any time. Even if there is no food and grass, they can still kill horses and attack. These people can find a forest to get a nest, which is a hidden danger to the Qin Dynasty. This time, I must wipe out Xiang Yu in three days."
"War, death and injury are inevitable."
Han Xin said firmly.
With the order from Han Xin, more than 100,000 Qin troops began a full-scale attack on the Chu army from all directions. The bloody battle started from daytime to night. The battlefield had become a bloody swamp, and the river water seen by people downstream was red. The strong smell of blood could be smelled almost in the entire Fengxian County, and there were hoarded corpses everywhere.
The sky gradually darkened, and both sides temporarily stopped. The soldiers from both sides retreated to the other side of the river, facing each other across the river.
"How are the casualties?"
On the Qin army, Han Xin asked the officials responsible for counting casualties.
"Twenty-seven, three hundred and seventy-one people died, one thousand, two hundred and sixty people seriously injured, and more than 13,000 people slightly injured."
"But fortunately, many of the slightly injured soldiers can still fight tomorrow."
The official responsible for counting casualties said.
War is a flesh-and-blood mill. In just one day, the Qin army almost suffered more than half of the casualties, and the same Chu army was not inferior to the Qin army.
"Mr. Liu, how did the singer you prepared for? "
Han Xin asked at Liu Bang.
"It's ready, it's the top names in various brothels in our Fengxian County. I have been practicing the Chu Ge that I want to sing for a long time, and there will be no problem with the designation." Liu Bang said with a promise.
