After listening to Liu Bang's inquiry, Liu Xiu only smiled bitterly: "I really don't dare to deceive my father, the weather is hot and cold, cloudy and sunny, and the child is really unpredictable."
Liu Bang pinched his chin and muttered: "Since Wu'er is not sure, it is better for my father to cross the river with dozens of followers first, and return to Rome to organize the ships to come to the rescue, what does Xiu'er think?"
Liu Xiu nodded and said: "The Han army is overwhelming, and the fierce generals are gathered, just the vanguard troops can already be inseparable from our killing, if we wait for the main army led by Yue Fei and Zhuge Liang to surround it, our army is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the end of the annihilation of the whole army."
Although the ice on the Seine is thin, it is no problem to cross the small group, and without further ado, ask my father to quickly return to Rome to organize troops to come to the rescue, and the child will definitely hold out with the generals until the reinforcements arrive. ” "Father and son are concentric, their profits are cut off, and everything in the army will be entrusted to my son after my father leaves" Liu Bang patted Liu Xiu's shoulder, with a look of melancholy at the end of the hero.
Liu Xiu personally packed his bags for Liu Bang, and sent Liu Bang to the Seine River with Guan Ying, Zhou Bo, Deng Yu and others, and said goodbye: "Please take care of Lord Zai Heng all the way, return to Rome as soon as possible, and send reinforcements as soon as possible."
"After I leave, I hope that the generals will carefully assist Xiu'er, and I must support it until domestic reinforcements arrive."
Liu Bang clasped his fists and saluted the generals, turned over his horse, and led fifty or sixty followers to carefully step on the river, and scattered, walking on the ice in twos and threes, and finally arrived on the other side without danger.
The two sides of the strait are separated by more than 500 zhang, and the figure is already a little blurred, Liu Bang waved his hand reluctantly, tears couldn't help but roll down, and he sighed to the sky: "Alas, my Liu Bang's life's work is on the other side, if I can't quickly rescue them from the siege of the Han army, I'm afraid there will be no comeback."
The horsewhip slammed into the horse's hips, and he galloped wildly, carrying Liu Bang to the west.
Dozens of entourages raised their whips one after another, and the horses' hooves were loud, and they followed Liu Bang's horse's hooves all the way to the west, gradually moving away.
After Liu Bang walked away, Liu Xiu beckoned the generals to return to the camp and ordered everyone to stay on their backs and be ready for battle at any time.
If the weather becomes cold and the ice on the Seine thickens, the army will abandon the camp and cross the river, and if the weather does not change, it can only resist the siege of the Han army to the death, and insist on domestic reinforcements.
But what Liu Xiu didn't expect was that because of Liu Bang's crossing of the river, many Roman soldiers had no intention of fighting, and quietly found out of the camp in the middle of the night, stepping on the ice on the Seine River to the opposite bank.
The number of Roman soldiers who absconded increased rapidly, from dozens to hundreds and then to thousands, wriggling towards the opposite shore in the dark, as dense as monkeys that had just come out of the ground in summer.
The ice on the Seine could not withstand such a massive stampede, and it made a "click, click" sound in the darkness, and finally fell apart, causing countless Roman soldiers on the river to fall into the river, which was immediately swept away by the rushing water beneath the ice.
"Help, help" The Romans who followed behind saw that the ice in the center was cracked, and the companions in front fell into the water like dumplings in a pot, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and there were messy cracks like branches under their feet.
When Liu Xiu learned that there had been a large-scale desertion, he couldn't help but be furious, and led thousands of archers to the river to reprimand loudly: "When the national disaster is at hand, instead of working together to tide over the difficulties, you and others ignore military discipline and flee from the battle."
These Romans who were in a dilemma were not angry in their hearts, and they retorted loudly: "Why did Lord Zaiheng cross the river and flee for his life, but asked us to stay and wait for death, and dare to ask where justice is" Liu Xiu was furious, and roared hoarsely: "Dare to quibble, my father went back to Rome to organize rescue soldiers, how can you be as greedy as you are and afraid of death, where are the archers, shoot me fiercely" Under Liu Xiu's stern reprimand, the Roman archers on the shore fired arrows in unison, raining arrows on the river.
The screams suddenly rose one after another, and the desperate deserters fell under the rain of arrows, and the river was suddenly full of messes, and the blood stained the ice.
Knowing that there was no way to turn back, some deserters braved the rain of arrows and got up and ran wildly to the other side, trying to escape to the other side, but accidentally stepped into the crack and were immediately swallowed by the icy water.
After dealing with these deserters, Liu Xiu hatefully ordered Deng Yu to lead 5,000 descendants to guard the river, patrol back and forth, and kill them as long as they saw deserters At noon, the 200,000 army led by Zhuge Liang arrived on the banks of the Seine, and Guan Yu, Huo Quji, Ma Chao and other generals went out of the village to greet them and report yesterday's battle.
"Hehe, this weather won't get cold again within half a month, forgive them for their wings and it's hard to fly" Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand, and ordered his generals to camp with a smile, "Don't rush to attack, set up camp for the time being, and wait for the arrival of the armies of the two marshals of Wu and Yue, and then join forces to besiege it."
Under the command of Jiang Wei, Xu Huang and others, tens of thousands of Han troops were busy for an afternoon, setting up a large camp that stretched more than ten miles from north to south, and Guan Yu's vanguard troops were horns and confronted the Romans more than ten miles apart.
After Liu Bang crossed the Seine, he hurried his horse and whipped his horse, all the way to the west, and he had already galloped one hundred and fifty miles in half a day, and he was already sleepy and tired, so he had to order him to dismount and rest for a while, and then continue to hurry after eating and drinking.
"General Cunxiao, a group of Roman soldiers came ahead" Suddenly, dozens of horsemen galloped towards him, led by a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, covered with smoke and clouds under his crotch, holding a heavenly halberd, leaning on the heavenly sword on his waist, and hanging a dragon slaying knife on his back, it was Liu Yu, the king of Lujiang in the Han Dynasty.
In addition to Liu Yu, there were two generals behind him, one was Li Cunxiao, who had returned from injury, but unfortunately the BMW under his crotch had died on the battlefield, and the other was Zhao Yun, who went to Yunnan to quell the rebellion and then went north to join the Baiqi army.
It turned out that Bai Qi felt that the soldiers under his command would arrive in Rome three or five months later than Zhuge Liang and Li Jing's two legions, and he was afraid that the great achievements would be snatched away at that time, so he sent Liu Yu, Li Cunxiao, and Zhao Yun to the west together, and quickly threw off the army to spy on Rome's intelligence, and strive to give a piece of the pie to the soldiers under his command.
The three fierce generals were bold and bold, not to mention that the territory of Rome was already full of Han troops, so they took dozens of horsemen to travel lightly, went deep into the territory of the Roman Empire, and got lost after crossing the Alps, but unexpectedly bumped into Liu Bang, who was fleeing for his life, and immediately whistled and surrounded him. t1706231537:
