Chapter 048 We Need Tibetan Army

Fan Zeng finally understood that the Qin army was in the west to attack to attract the attention of the Chu army; the Qin army was the main force in the north. They had already attacked the camp. He ordered the northern camp to prepare for ambush as soon as possible.

He had not vented his anger at the Qin army for several days. Xiang Yu was extremely depressed and immediately denied Fan Zeng's ambush proposal. He unexpectedly went out to take the initiative to attack and attack the Qin army.

Fan Zeng's persuasion several times was ineffective, so he had to let Xiang Yu act will once. Xiang Yu ordered 20,000 troops to attack the Qin army immediately.

In the dense forest not far from the west of Langya County, Han Xin and Ziying were analyzing the military information sent back by the messengers. When they heard that tens of thousands of Chu troops were attacking in the north, Han Xin decisively ordered Jibu Dazhang and Changge in the north to stop the retreat. At the same time, they ordered Qin Zhang in the west to open the way to move the antlers of the Chu army camp and clear the traps. When the cavalry saw the rocket appearing in the air, they immediately began to charge.

The sentry from the Chu army's Western Camp sent another order that a large number of Qin troops appeared. The captain had received Fan Zeng's estimate and arrangement. The main force of the Qin army was in the north and a feint attack in the west, and ordered: "Brothers, just defend well, the Qin army will not attack here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the unique sound of Qin crossbows sounded in the air. The captain and sentry were shocked and were nailed to the ground and to the watch tower before they could speak. Next, the shield team and spear team of the Qin army's front appeared neatly in front of the Chu army camp.

After half an hour of confrontation, the Chu army began to counterattack in an orderly manner under the command of Yu Ziqi. However, the antlers and traps on the periphery were occupied by the Qin army. After a brief confrontation, the Qin army shot a round of rockets and began to slowly retreat.

When Yu Ziqi saw that the Qin army was repelled, he immediately led his army to pursue him. Just when Yu Ziqi sent an order to ask the Southern Camp to come to reinforce and assist the Western Camp, the earth began to shake. There were many old lieutenants around Yu Ziqi. They were familiar with this voice and immediately panicked and said to Yu Ziqi: "General, it's not good, the Qin cavalry has begun to charge us."

Yu Ziqi had already led 20,000 troops to chase out of the camp. He could not withdraw his troops quickly in the dark, so he had to cruelly leave the army and order to run south.

Just as the five thousand cavalry of Han Xin's army rushed to the Chu army in Xiying, they shouted and killed Zhentian. Zhang Han and Mengzhi were discussing on the top of Langya County.

Zhang Han said: "According to a secret report from spies, this evening, reinforcements appeared in the west to attack the Chu army's Western camp in the middle of the night. After the night, the Chu army's Northern camp faced the attack of our General Jibu of Qin. Now the shouts and kills in the west are shocked. According to the military tactics, the attack from the north is real. We send troops from the north to cooperate with the reinforcements."

Meng Zhi hurriedly said, "No, when the last general chased the General's shogunate, the General never set up the army formations in different ways. Many times, every army is real, and sometimes all are empty. Now that the west shouts and kills so loudly, it must be that the west is the main attacking party at this moment, and our army should go out from the west to pick up the support."

Seeing that Meng Zhi's statement was extraordinary, not to mention that he had learned about Meng Tian's military use habits in the Jiuyuan Army for a long time. He had basically succeeded in making suggestions several times before, so he nodded and ordered Meng Zhi to lead 20,000 troops on standby to go out to attack the Qin army in Xiying.

The general of the commander of the Southern Camp was Long Qi. When he received a letter from Yu Ziqi asking for reinforcements, he immediately remembered the scene of meeting Han Xin in Xingyang, and ordered the entire army to strengthen its vigilance and that no matter what the situation was, he rushed to support the Western Camp. Mengzhi attacked the Western Camp in the Chu army, and the Chu army was in chaos. Mengzhi took the opportunity to order the entire army to advance with neat military attacks and slashes. Just as he was about to kill, Long Qi's army arrived.

Mengzhi's cleverness began to work. He felt that the enemy also had talented people and he did not have the great ability of General Meng Tian. He was guessing this attack. He didn't know whether the judgment was right. He stopped when he saw the enemy's reinforcements and immediately withdrew his troops.

Long Qi arrived to replace Yu Ziqi with the deputy general who strengthened the camp and sent scouts to inquire about the situation of Yu Ziqi's army, and at the same time ordered the army not to attack again.

Yu Ziqi led 20,000 infantry and was killed by Han Xin's cavalry, which was very miserable. The Chu army was exhausted in siege during the day, while Han Xin's army slept during the day and came prepared in the evening. In less than an hour, Yu Ziqi's 20,000 army was robbed and killed into three sections.

When the Qin army pursued the Chu army to dawn, Yu Ziqi's army was basically wiped out. He only had a dozen personal soldiers guarding him and ran south desperately to avoid the pursuit of the Qin cavalry.

On Xiang Yu's side, the Chu army fought hard, but did not encounter a single Qin army. After walking a long way, a combination of crossbow arrows and rockets appeared. When the cavalry gathered to chase the black shadow in front, they met the Changge who was left by the other party. After chasing like this overnight, hundreds of war horses and a thousand soldiers were lost. Even the Qin army did not see many figures, and at dawn, they had to withdraw back to the camp.

After the night of confrontation, the Qin army suffered minimal casualties, while the Chu army paid nearly 30,000 casualties. At the same time, Yu Ziqi disappeared.

The Chu army, who had been tossed by Han Xin's army all night, did not attack the city of Langya County again today. Xiang Liang gathered in the Nanying tent to discuss solutions.

After dawn, the Chu army's explorers immediately went out to inquire about the situation of the reinforcements. Fan Zeng received the report from the explorers at noon. He saw three very large military camps fifty miles west of Langya County, with finished characters arranged in shape, and the barracks were covered with flags, with three large flags on "Win", "Meng" and "Ji". The three camps were extremely huge and could station more than 500,000 troops. However, there was no sign of the Qin army in these three camps, and the Qin army attacked last night could not see where they were hiding.

After receiving this investigation, everyone in Xiang Liang's tent except Xiang Yu was extremely surprised. Fan Zeng muttered to himself: Could it be that Meng Tian, ​​who was in Xingyang, led the army? Or did Fusu personally lead the army? He could not think of what was going on with the Qin army at this moment. The Chu army had to send a large number of secret spies to check around to see if he could find this mysterious Qin army.

At noon, in a dense forest not far south of Langya County, many black-armored Qin troops were sleeping on the trees, and there were many war horses hidden in the deep ditch, and the horses were covered with branches and grass.

Han Xin and Ziying, who had been resting for a morning, were discussing the next action with the generals. Han Xin first said: "Now our army is insufficient, otherwise we would have been able to break the enemy by attacking from all sides last night. We had to wait until General Ma (Ma Xing)'s 50,000 grain transport army arrived before launching a full attack. We ordered the army to rest directly until the third update tonight, and arrive at the Chu army camp one hour before dawn tomorrow to launch a new round of attacks."

Meng Xin responded: "Our cavalry rushed to the night, but the light was not good at night and they were very tired. Can the general change the time of the charge to day?"

Han Xin pondered for a long time and said nothing.

Ji Bu started to speak: "Can we put the attack time a little further? Remove the antlers on the periphery, and then use cavalry to rush to death until dawn."

Han Xin said slowly: "Our army has few troops and needs Tibetan troops. If there are less than five days, the Chu army's horse exploration will inevitably find traces of our army. The cavalry's impact during the day is likely to be exposed. Once it is surrounded and killed by the Chu army, the entire army will be wiped out."

Ziying, who had been silent, said: "Can the general use the tactics of last night again? I think it's hard for the enemy to think that we will attack again exactly the same."

Han Xin put the sword master on the ground and said, "Last night, it was because the generals in the city cooperated with our attack to achieve such great results. If we change to another camp to attack this time, I wonder if they can cooperate with each other?"

Meng Xin moved his body and said, "The general's method of using troops is quite similar to that of the general. General Mengzhi in the city has learned a lot from the general and will definitely understand the general's attack strategy. I guess they will cooperate with us."

Han Xin thought for a while before ordering: "Tonight, all our army was secretly moved to the three camps in the west that our army had set up last night. The eldest son and I led 10,000 troops into the Yingqi camp. You two generals each led 10,000 troops to their own camp."

Ziying was confused at this moment and asked in a low voice: "General, we will not hide our troops?"

Han Xin said: "We will Tibetan troops again after attacking again tomorrow night. The Chu army is like a frightened geese. Once we see our army suddenly appear in the camp, we will definitely not dare to attack immediately. After our army attacks again at night, we will hide and wait until General Ma's grain transport army arrives before encircling and annihilation of the enemy."

After Han Xin gave a brief explanation, everyone realized and took the order and prepared to go.

After a day and night of intense search, the Chu army's horse exploration saw countless Qin troops appearing in the three camps of the Qin army at dawn the next day. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly reported to Fan Zeng.

Fan Zeng hurried to Xiang Liang for discussion, but everyone was puzzled. Fan Zeng was also confused: the Qin army had been Tibetan troops before, but now it was unpretentious...

Therefore, Fan Zeng suggested that he send more horses to explore how many Qin troops in the Qing Dynasty were in the military camp and whether they were hidden elsewhere. Xiang Yu said impatiently: "Our elite troops are invincible in the world. They are in the plain and plain. Why should we be afraid of their conspiracies? Just go directly to fight the Qin army to a decisive battle. You can definitely kill the Qin army without leaving any armor."

Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng were both embarrassed by the Qin army several times. When they heard Xiang Yu's words, they said almost at the same time: "No!" Xiang Yu saw that his uncle had opposed it and knew that he would not be able to send troops any longer, so he turned around and left the tent.

Xiang Liang, He Fan Zeng and others were discussing the plan with frown, and the horses came to report again: "The three major camps of the Qin army were covered with flags and the tents were quiet. Except for the sentries, the rest of the people were sleeping, and they could not find out how many soldiers there were."
