Seeing that the atmosphere had eased slightly, the generals each breathed a sigh of relief, and without waiting for the two to speak again, Tian Heng spoke first: "King Qiqi, the top priority is to break the Tao first, and everything can be discussed later." ” Zhong Liwu and the others also said slowly: "What General Tian said is that it is the top priority to capture Dingtao first, and I also ask the king to make it clear that it is not a wise man to lose a big one because of a small one." ” Although Xiang Yu was unhappy in his heart, he was the commander after all, since others gave him steps, of course he had to go down, his uncle was not there, and everything had to be considered again, so as not to cause discord and make the Qin army benefit.
"This king doesn't care about it, Chenshi attacks Dingtao, you can also see that Yingbu is already at the end of the strong crossbow, so this king decided to raid tonight, capture Yingbu alive, and use the army style!"
"The generals listened to the order, the soldiers are divided into four ways, Sima Yin from the west gate, Wu Qi from the east gate, Tian Heng, Zang Tu from the north gate, Chen Yu quickly sent troops to ambush between Dingtao and Daliang, Xiahou Ying attacked from the south gate with Zhong Li, this king went to the west gate, if it is expected to be good, then Yingbu and Li Mai thieves will definitely come out of this gate and run to Daliang, and when Chen Yu cuts off the back road, directly surround Yingbu and others, so that the Qin army will be defeated!"
"I don't know what else he wants?"
Xiang Yu said, then glanced around and asked.
And no one dared to speak, they were all submissive, and they each came out with orders, Xiang Yu sat alone in the tent, and Long He looked puzzled on the side.
"The general's arrangement, the troops are scattered, in case the Qin army is attacked, what can we do?"
Long Ji finally didn't hold back and asked quite seriously.
Xiang Yu smiled, "This is exactly what I mean, the seven armies come from seven places, all of them are external and internal strife, now their respective generals will lead their own soldiers, so as not to cause chaos, and the maximum of 5,000 soldiers in Yingbu City, even if they are attacked in one place, they can also be defended, if they can't hold it, they can also wait until the generals come to support." ” When Long heard this, he admired it very much: "The general is wise!
But what will happen in the end?
” "Follow this king to capture Yingbu, if it is expected, Yingbu Li Mai will definitely divide the troops into two ways, and when you and I chase each other, we will definitely not lose!"
Xiang Yu said confidently.
The matter of Chu Ying was decided, and when it was about ugly, all the soldiers had already surrounded Dingtao, but Yingbu and others did not know that Ximen was attacked by Sima Yin and Xiang Yu, and it was the most rapid.
In the Dingtao Palace, Yingbu had just packed up all the matters, and before he fell asleep, he heard a noisy sound outside, very bored, and at this time, Li Mai suddenly broke in.
Without waiting for Yingbu to speak, Li Mai immediately said in a loud voice: "General Qiyu, the Chu thieves are about to break the city, what can we do about it?"
” Yingbu hurriedly put on his battle uniform, and said with a calm expression: "The south gate is attacked, then flee from the west gate, this city is difficult to defend, go out of the city to meet the battle, you can scatter and flee, and finally the beam can be turned." ” Hearing Yingbu say this, Li Mai's face did not change at all, "The general doesn't know, there are Chu thieves attacking in the east, west, north and south, it must be that Xiang Yu saw that our soldiers were insufficient, so he sent people to besiege the city. ” It turned out that the east gate was Wu Qi's soldiers, although Emperor Hui Ji Chu summoned 10,000 soldiers, all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and now they traveled a long way to Dingtao, and they fled and fled, and the rest was only seven or eight thousand, and the morale was the worst.
When Yingbu heard this, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, "How many men and horses are there in our army?"
” "So far, there are still 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 prisoners, if they rush out or have a glimmer of life, late tonight, go out of the city to extinguish the fire, and the Chu thieves can't!
I wonder if the general is willing to do it?
Li Mai considered.
However, there is no other choice but this method, "and follow your words, gather the soldiers, escape through the east gate, and then detour to the girder, there should be no problem." ” "As long as you get to Daliang, everything is easy to do, Peng Yue is still here, and there is no room for loss."
After the two discussed, they gathered five thousand soldiers in a moment, Yingbu took the lead in getting on the horse, and the troops turned to the east gate, and at this time Wu Qi did not seem to have the intention of attacking the city, in his opinion, the west gate and the south gate were the focus, so it was just some soldiers throwing stones and arrows below, bluffing.
However, in less than a moment, the strength of the east gate increased greatly, and then the city gate opened, and in an instant, thousands of soldiers and horses rushed out and disappeared into the darkness, without the slightest sign of war.
Wu Qi was on the side of the city, and when he saw this, he was shocked, and immediately shouted: "You wait and go after it, go to the overlord, the thieves escape, don't attack the city!"
” The generals scattered and went to the other three gates, and at this time Sima Yin and Xiang Yu of the West Gate were attacking, but the soldiers on the city tower were suddenly much less, but the city gate was breached, and the rest of the Qin army were some volunteers who stayed behind and the local people in the city.
Xiang Yu was a rebel, and he would definitely not kill these people, just when Xiang Yu wanted to ride his horse into the city, the soldiers of the East Gate hurriedly came.
Xiang Yu recognized the Jiangdong soldiers at the East Gate, and was a little surprised when he saw this, and then asked: "You don't guard the city seriously, why did you come here?"
Could it be that the east gate is broken?
” The soldier said with some trembling trembling: "King Qiyu, Yingbu led the army to break through the east gate and escaped, and I hope that the king will chase after him earlier!"
” Everyone was at a loss, and the dragon turned around and rode his horse, "The king is chasing quickly, Chen Yu is in the road, maybe he may capture Yingbu, wait for a while, he can't regret it!"
” Xiang Yu woke up in a daze, "What you said is true!"
Sima Yin first went to settle down in Dingtao, this king went to chase the thief, a large number of soldiers were difficult to escape, and the distance of dozens of miles from Dingtao in Daliang was a plain, and it was necessary to chase it urgently!
” After that, he led 10,000 soldiers and horses of his headquarters, pursued with Long and along the way, and went out of the city for ten miles, Xiang Yu could not see the fire, and did not know where to go, so he had to divide into two ways with Long and the soldiers, and intercepted them from the right road and the small road respectively.
At this moment, Chen Yu was ambushing in the dark, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves running, and there was no open fire, so he knew that the Tao Qin army was determined, and immediately ordered people to line up in battle, forming a fish scale, which was a plain fish scale formation, a group of ten people, with a rope as a barrier.
The one who came was indeed the Qin army, but after Yingbu broke off, it was the elite soldiers of the Qin army who stumbled first, and Li Mai found something strange in it, and immediately stopped his horse.
However, the speed was too fast, and he tripped over the rope, and immediately held the halberd and pulsated with the Chu thief, "Don't panic, it's the Chu thief who is in ambush, and he can fight!"
” When the Qin army in the rear heard the news, they immediately opened fire, and if there were Chu thieves in ambush, Li Mai shouted about the battle with him, but he turned around and got on the war horse again, and rushed forward.
Chen Yu was in the rear, knowing that he was a deputy general, where he was willing to let them go, and led the army to chase them up, Yingbu saw Li Mai leading Chen Yu away, and hurriedly led the soldiers to flee from the side.
At this moment, Xiang Yu and Long He also caught up, and when they saw the fire in front of them, they knew that there was a battle here, and the two of them caught up with Yingbu and others in less than a moment, after all, these soldiers were on foot.
"Dark-faced thief, leave off!"
Xiang Yu shouted, raised his horsewhip, and chased straight after him, Yingbu saw him chasing, but slowed down, as if he wanted to fight with him, in order to repay the humiliation of the time.
