Chapter 31: Jushui ambushes and defeats the Chu army


Hu Hai saw that Zhang Han and Li You agreed, and glanced at Yingbu with great relief, "It stands to reason that this plan is led by Yingbu, if you break the Chu thief, the class teacher will be rewarded!"

” When Yingbu heard this, he was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that he was a prisoner today, so he immediately bowed down and saluted: "The last general, Your Majesty Longen, I don't know how many soldiers and horses are promised?"

” "I don't know about this matter, so it's up to Zhang Han to arrange it."

Hu Hai waved his hand, and then went out of the camp to enjoy the scenery.

Zhang Han looked at Hu Hai, who was leaving in a dashing manner, and sighed slightly: "Your Majesty is really bold, you don't pay attention to such things at all, but go to watch the scenery." ” Chen Ping and Meng Fang next to him came out one after another, leaving Li You patted Zhang Han's shoulder and said quite jokingly: "It's not that Your Majesty is arrogant, but everything is set, and you still have to do this, go and order troops." ” "Brother Li, how many soldiers and horses do you think is appropriate?"

Zhang Han asked hastily instead.

Without waiting for Li You to answer, Yingbu had already submitted the silk book on the case, "General, please see, this is the battle report from the front, stating that there are 20,000 Chu thieves, and I also ask the general to allow me 5,000 soldiers and horses." ” Zhang Han glanced at the silk book, and then put it away, "Do you think five thousand is enough?"

” Yingbu He had fought before, and when Zhang Han asked him this, he also muttered in his heart, isn't it enough?

It should be enough, "General Qiyu, it should be okay, right?"

” "Okay, just 5,000, a certain prophet made it clear, 3,000 cavalry, 2,000 cavalry, you can arrange everything yourself, this battle is meritorious, and returning to Xianyang is the Marquis of Guannei."

Zhang Han said seriously.

Yingbu hurriedly bowed his head, "If the army is defeated, come and see you!"

” On the same day, Zhang Han allocated 5,000 soldiers and horses, led by Yingbu, with Meng Fang as the deputy general, bypassing the Lingbi and going directly to the vicinity of Jushui to ambush the Chu thieves.

The Chu army was led by Xiang Liang, there were about 20,000 soldiers, all of whom were Jiangdong elite soldiers, and the Yingbu Lord sneak attacked, and 5,000 soldiers and horses were still too much.

For those who are new to the battlefield, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control 2,000 people, let alone 10,000 people, so for the sake of insurance, Yingbu only asked for 5,000 soldiers and horses.

The shore of Jushui is full of reeds and grass, and there is no problem with ambushing 5,000 soldiers and horses along the shore.

The Chu army left Pengcheng and rushed to the Jushui bank on the fifth day, Fan Zeng saw that the opposite side of the wooden bridge was full of reeds and grass and trees, and he was slightly suspicious in his heart, and hurriedly asked Xiang Liang to stop the soldiers and horses.

"Prime Minister Qi, the reeds in front of you are swinging, the grass and trees are lush, I am afraid that there will be an ambush, and the wooden bridge is not strong, if there is an ambush, it is difficult to take care of each other."

Xiang Liang stroked the beard and watched, the majestic wind was blowing, the river was flowing slowly, the day was empty, and there were still wild ducks playing in the river, and there were no signs of ambushes.

Then he said in a righteous voice: "Sir, look at the wild ducks in the river, the dragonflies in the reeds, if there is an ambush, how can you be so comfortable and not fly far?"

” Fan Zeng always felt that something was wrong, so he had to retreat and say in a low voice: "It's better to divide the soldiers into two teams, Xiang Zhuang leads one team first, and we will pass later." ” "Now that the Lingbi is ahead, and the Qin army is still in Mangxian, there is no need to rush for a while, please think twice."

Xiang Liang couldn't bear to disobey Fan Zeng's good intentions, so he gave the order to go down, and Xiang Zhuang led a team of men and horses to move forward, and stayed across the bank to prevent changes.

After the two teams finished ordering, Xiang Zhuang took the lead in setting off, Xiang Liang looked ahead, and said helplessly: "Why is the old gentleman so worried, he is really cautious!"

” Fan Zeng didn't speak, but saluted and retreated to the side of Jushui, after all, Qin Jun Zhang Han and Li You are not ordinary people, Xiang Liang snorted rather unhappily when he saw this, "The first time I sent troops, I was suspicious three times and twice, I knew that I would let him follow my nephew, so I could teach him to be cautious and not reckless." ” Just when half of Xiang Zhuang's soldiers and horses crossed the river, Yingbu and Meng Fang suddenly came out of the reeds and grass, Xiang Zhuang wanted to face the battle, who knew that the Chu army was in chaos, and many soldiers fell into the river.

"Chu thief takes your head!"

Yingbu shouted and rushed up directly, and at this time, the cavalry of the Qin army in the distance also rushed over, surrounding all the Chu troops on both sides.

Xiang Liang was on the other side of the river, there was no way to support at all, the wooden bridge only allowed two horses to go in parallel, Xiang Zhuang saw the situation and immediately entangled with Yingbu, so that the Chu army could not go ashore, and the retreat was too slow!

At this time, Meng Fang was on both sides, and immediately ordered the soldiers to set up the rockets, and with an order, more than a thousand rockets were shot towards the wooden bridge, and the Chu army in the middle had no choice but to jump into the river.

Taking advantage of the breeze in the mountains, the wooden bridge was quickly burned into two, and Xiang Zhuang led 3,000 Chu troops to rush down the wooden bridge and fight fiercely with the Qin army.

Meng Fang also came to fight with a halberd at this time, and Xiang Liang on the other side was anxious, so he turned to beg Fan Zeng and said: "The old gentleman is skilled, and I regret not listening to Mr.

's words, and please give me advice quickly!"

” Fan Zeng frowned slightly, "For today's plan, fold the wood into a boat and forcibly cross the river, otherwise Xiangzhuang will be in danger!"

” When Xiang Liang heard this, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to take the sand, gravel and civil engineering, and hurriedly built it while the wooden bridges were slightly four or five meters apart, and if there was dead wood, they could cross the river directly.

The Chu army was originally in the south, most of them knew the nature of water, and under Xiang Liang's strict order, they had to forcibly cross the river, and another thousand people built a bridge, and in less than half an hour, the wooden bridge could basically pass people.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Yingbu immediately shouted at Meng Fang: "Chu thieves want to cross the river, should we retreat?"

” "Thousands of thieves have been killed and wounded, that's enough!"

Meng Fang also said loudly.

As a result, the Qin army waved its flag, and after the Yingbu pad, it retreated while fighting with the Chu army, and Xiang Zhuang was afraid that there would be a Qin army in the rear, so he did not dare to chase after him, and ordered to count the dead and wounded.

In this Jushui ambush battle, the Qin army only injured 100 people, as for the Chu army in a hurry, 1,000 people died by trampling, 1,000 people died by drowning, hundreds of people were missing, and two or three thousand people were wounded.

Xiang Liang was ambushed by the Qin army, he felt very guilty in his heart, and he respected Fan Zeng more on his face, if it weren't for the old man's words, 20,000 people would cross the river at the same time, and the loss would be more serious.

On the south bank of Jushui, there are still 15,000 Chu troops left, and the rest of the wounded or dead are sent back to their hometowns, which can be regarded as an act of benevolence and righteousness.

At this time, the spirit wall was in front of the Chu army, but Xiang Liang didn't dare to move forward at all, so he could only stand on the dirt slope and look at it from afar, "The old gentleman is really a god, I don't know what to do next?"

” Fan Zeng stood aside, pondered for a long time and said: "If the prime minister is not too troublesome, he can build a bridge on the Jushui first, but the five horses are parallel, I don't know what the prime minister means?"

” "As the old gentleman said, build the bridge!

It was here that the troops were stationed and rested.

Xiang Liang replied directly.

After Yingbu and others successfully attacked by surprise, they immediately returned to Mangxian, and the army of Hu Hai and others had been assembled, and when they saw Yingbu coming back, they immediately dismounted to greet them.

"Aiqing has worked hard, what about Chu thief?"

Hu Hai asked excitedly.

"The thief has injured thousands, but he can go to the spiritual wall."

Yingbu said seriously.

"Haha, very good, Zhang Han, you should lead the troops to guard the spirit wall quickly, and I and Li You will go to Cai!"

Hu Hai said excitedly.

The land of Xia Cai, near Shouchun, is the land of Chu, so with Lingbi as a stronghold, a large area of Chu returned to Qin, but what Hu Hai did not expect was that Sichuan County returned to Chu.
