In Shouchun City, Xiahou Ying patrols every day, not daring to be the slightest sloppy, between two months, although the Chu army has a siege battle, but there is no intention of success, although Fan Hao is belligerent, at this moment it is just a stubborn hold.
Sima Yin and Zhou Bo led 15,000 men and horses to the south gate of Shouchun, Xiang Yu had just arranged the soldiers in Hebei at this time, and now he heard that the reinforcements were coming, and he was a little shocked in his heart, if he didn't listen to Xiang It's words, I am afraid it would be another vicious battle.
Xiahou Ying in the city heard that the reinforcements were coming, and immediately opened the door to welcome in, and the four of them were all military generals, so they didn't have so much etiquette, and went straight to the hall, wanting to discuss the battle of breaking Chu.
Fan Hao has been holding on for many days, and his heart has long been warlike, and now when he saw a soldier coming, he immediately got up and said: "We have been trapped for a long time, and we are not invincible, but we are afraid that the people will suffer in the city." ” "There are still 20,000 soldiers in the naturalized city, Zhugong came from afar, increased the number of soldiers, and the Guanchu army has been outside for several months, and the rain has been continuous in recent days, and the soldiers are lazy.
Without waiting for Xiahou Ying to refute, Sima Yin agreed: "General Fan's words are reasonable, this time I came, we need to fight quickly, although we are in the city, it is really a little difficult to do, in addition, there are more than 10,000 stoves in Hanoi, which are left by the Chu army, so act, it must be a lack of food and grass, or the soldiers are slack, otherwise why move to Hebei to camp, although the general has a strategy, but it is not as good as the time to return, Wan Wang sent troops tonight, and killed him by surprise!"
” Xiahou Ying and Zhou Bo bowed their heads, "What the two said is very reasonable, today the army has just arrived, and they still need to rest, in the evening, stay 10,000, Fan Gong will lead the army of 5,000 as the vanguard, Zhou Gong will guard the city, I and Sima Yin will come later, I don't know what you think?"
” "According to General Xiahou's plan!"
The three of them said in unison.
The Han army was vastly increasing the army, how could Xiang Yu not notice it, and immediately summoned Xiang it into the camp, the two sat opposite each other, Xiang Yu held warm tea in his hand, and his face was slightly pale.
"It's really unbearable to come here for more than a month, the humidity in the south is too heavy, and most of the soldiers are recruited by the north, I'm afraid it will be difficult to last, I don't know if the virtuous brother has any plans?"
Xiang Yu said in a calm tone.
Xiang Qi's face was not sad or happy, and he sighed slightly: "The king doesn't know, the sentry in front of me has said that there are reinforcements going to the city, we can't stay for a long time, it's better to withdraw tomorrow." ” "There is a battle report of Xiangzhuang, Huiji City is strictly guarded, although it was omitted by Zhou Bo, but in a few days, it will be returned to our ownership, now Surabaya County and Huiji County are under control, and the small Jiujiang is not to worry, and it is not impossible to fight in the spring of next year, I don't know what the king thinks?"
When Xiang Yu heard this, he pondered for a long time before he said: "However, attacking the city and conquering the land is the most likely to disturb the people, and spring and summer are the time for sowing, won't it affect the harvest of grain and grass?"
” "It's okay, we can bypass the good land, and we come in danger and set up camp in Jiujiang, the people who are worried are not us, but Liu Bang and others, and it is a good thing for the king to worry about the people, but this is a lot of worries."
It is a good and inducing way.
"That's fine, take the opportunity to withdraw the army, and it's okay to take a truce to raise the people, as for the Shouchun day, you will order, the soldiers will straighten out their clothes, and tomorrow, the class will return to the court!"
Xiang Yu said with an oath.
As everyone knows, Xiang Yu wanted to withdraw the army, but Xiahou Ying and others wanted to attack, and when the evening was ugly, Fan Xu first sent scouts to explore, the Surabaya Bridge was still there, and the Chu army was not demolished.
When Fan Hao heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately reported to Xiahou Ying, and then led 5,000 soldiers to quietly cross the bridge, followed by Xiahou Ying and Sima Yin, who each led 10,000 troops and divided the troops left and right.
At the end of the ugly hour, 5,000 cavalry and Fan Xu quickly rushed into the Chu camp, and fired rockets at the camp tent, which was made of coarse linen, and although it was damp, the clothes burned at the sight of the fire.
In an instant, the fire in the Chu military camp was soaring, Xiang Yu was asleep in the account, but he was woken up by Xiang It, and then put on the armor of the Chu camp, "Who dares to do this, it is not a surprise attack by the Han army!"
” "King Qiyu, yes, 10,000 soldiers have been withdrawn today, and the dragons are leaderless, please hurry up and reorganize and prepare for war on horseback!"
Xiang said hastily.
When Xiang Yu heard this, he quickly went out of the camp with a gun to fight with Fan Xu, and as for Xiang He commanded the Chu army to be divided into three teams, each with 8,000 men and horses, and retreated backwards, Xiang Yu led 8,000 to stop Fan Xu.
Fan Xu was originally a reckless man, but when he saw Xiang Yu in front of him, he was not afraid at all, but shouted loudly: "Where did the wild general come from, dare to block my way to kill!"
” "Such a person can also be a general, and there is no one in the Han army!
I am the overlord of Western Chu, Xiang Yu is also!
Puff takes his life!
Xiang Yu shouted, and directly stabbed Fan Xu with a gun.
There are two scimitars in Fan Xu's hands, which are quite barbaric, after all, he used to slaughter dogs, and he was good at using scimitars, and when he saw Xiang Yu's spear pointed directly at his chest, he immediately set up a scimitar to block.
A spear is like a dragon in the pool, two scimitars are like eagles in the air, the dragon spreads its claws out of the water, the eagle lands with a strong beak, the claws counterattack the eagle's back, and the eagle raises its wings to dodge the stunt!
There is a poem: The Surabaya raid is about to come out, and the overlord in the camp has a grand plan.
The spear scimitar passed through the chest, and he was slightly wounded and did not say anything!
Fifty times of galloping horses, it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.
If it weren't for the army behind him, I wouldn't know where to return during the day!
The two of them were in full swing, who knew that Sima Yin and Xiahou Ying came quickly, Xiang Yu knew that the situation was not good, and he fought and retreated with Fan Xu, as for the Chu army all withdrew, leaving only thirty horsemen to protect Xiang Yu.
Until the end of the ugly time, the Chu army had retreated for thirty miles, on the other hand, Xiang Yu fought three people alone, and thirty cavalry rushed into the Han army, holding spears and wearing armor, as if no one's land, each committed suicide and returned with 100 people, the Han army was shocked and timidly stepped forward, and only then did he capture and kill 16 people.
The remaining fourteen people fled back in a hurry, Xiang Yu became more and more courageous, Fan Hao fought first, his strength was invincible, and he retreated to the rear army, Sima Yin and Xiahou Ying were both forty or fifty years old, and they did not dare to be Xiang Yu's opponent at all.
Fortunately, at this time, Xiang It has already arranged for the old, weak, sick and disabled, and led 5,000 cavalry back to support Xiang Yu, Sima Yin and Xiahou Ying have been chasing for dozens of miles, the so-called poor Kou Mo chasing, there is a great intention to retreat, and the front is full of fire, it is obvious that Xiang Yu's reinforcements arrived, so the two immediately changed the front army to the rear army and withdrew to Shouchun.
In this battle, Xiang Yu lost 5,000 soldiers, and all the grain and grass equipment were included in the Han, which can be described as a great defeat, but the Han army and the Chu army were whirling, and there were more than 1,000 wounded.
That night, the Chu army rushed north to Xiangxian County, and only then did he reorganize and rest, Xiang Yu was already extremely embarrassed in the city, and sighed unconsciously: "Since I sent out the army, how could I have been so defeated, and I lost 5,000 elite soldiers, it is really the will of heaven!"
” Xiang It was on the side, quite comforting: "What the king said is extremely true, if it weren't for the continuous rain and the sharp rise in Surabaya, how could there be today's defeat, for the time being, go back to Pengcheng first, recuperate, and then make a decision, what does the king want?"
” Xiang Yu's eyes were slightly closed, and he was very helpless in his heart, "Be the secretary of the word, go back to Pengcheng first, and order Xiang Zhuang to defend the meeting, so as not to let the Han army have a chance." ” "The last will know, and this will be done."
