Chapter 541 Xiang Yu''s Hundred Cavalry Cavalry (Part 2)
Chapter 540: Xiang Yu''s Hundred Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry (Part 2)
Looking at the camp with strict defense in front of him, Xiang Yu greeted the soldiers and said with a serious look on his face:
"After tonight, you are all heroes. Whether you can last until reinforcements arrive is all here. I hope you can come out with no bad luck."
"General, there is no one who will never die in war, and we have long put life and death aside."
"Yes, why are you a Yellow Turban Army if you are afraid of death?"
A knight said with a faint smile, which immediately caused a low response.
“Well said.”
"As long as you can defeat the violent man, what''s the fear of death?"
Everyone''s fearless aura also infected Xiang Yu, and he immediately said proudly: "This battle will definitely be won."
“It will win.”
The hundred knights responded in a low voice, their eyes full of determination. Xiang Yu nodded when he saw this, waved his halberd and said, "Action."
This is a dangerous military operation. The 30,000 Han army was all cavalry. If it was discovered, it would not be easy for Xiang Yu to run away.
But even if you know it is death, these hundred warriors must dive into it.
The 20,000 defenders in Hulao Pass needed them to boost their morale, and the 100,000 prisoners of war on the road in Yanzhou needed them to delay time. The Ming Empire also needed them, so they did not hesitate.
———
In the Han army''s central tent, Li Shimin, Qin Hao and Yang Jian gathered here, as if discussing something.
Suddenly, Li Xiuning walked into the big tent. Li Shimin came in alone, and immediately frowned and asked, "Where is Yuanba?"
Li Xiuning replied with a wry smile: "I fell asleep. After waking up, I was so angry that I didn''t want to come over."
Li Yuanba was angry at the verge of fighting because he got up. Li Shimin was extremely helpless about this. He was also extremely smart but helpless to this child''s stupid brother.
"Forget it, if you don''t come, don''t come. This time, I have plenty of preparations. Even if Yuan Ba ??is not here, I can still take Xiang Yu."
Yuwen Cheng, who was beside Yang Jian, heard this and immediately asked, "But what if Xiang Yu doesn''t come to the robbery camp?"
After all, the Han army has just arrived. In order to prevent the enemy from robbing the camp, the first night of guard must be the strictest, so no one who robs the camp will choose the first night of guarding the camp.
Li Shimin smiled calmly and was about to explain, but Qin Hao took the lead.
"Xiang Yu will definitely come. If he doesn''t come tonight, he will have no chance." Qin Hao said confidently.
Yuwen Cheng-who was still confused, and Yang Jian continued to explain: "According to spies, the Ming reinforcements will be five days before they can arrive, and our army will break through these two camps in one day. Xiang Yu must hold on for four days before they can wait for reinforcements."
Li Shimin took over the conversation at this time and said, "Premier Yang is right. Xiang Yu must hold on for four days, but with this broken Hulao Pass, it is almost impossible to hold on for four days under the fierce attack of our army, so Xiang Yu will definitely take the risk to come and rob the camp to encourage the morale of the army."
It turned out that at the beginning, Li Shimin guessed that Xiang Yu would come to rob the camp, so he didn''t hurry up and attacked overnight.
The purpose of doing this is naturally to create the illusion of the soldiers being exhausted, so as to mislead Xiang Yu to let him come to the camp in person, but he had already set up a trap in the camp and waited for the fish to take the bait.
Li Shimin didn''t expect to kill Xiang Yu in one ambush, so he did not force Li Yuanba to come over. He had to force Xiang Yu to the edge of the cliff bit by bit in order to wipe out his shame and hatred.
"Xiang Yu, I want you to feel what despair is." Li Shimin thought hatefully.
"No, it''s going to go out of trouble."
"Don''t sleep, come out and put out the fire." Suddenly, a noisy shout came, and Li Shimin smiled when he heard this, because the fish finally took the bait.
“As planned…”
Li Shimin had not finished speaking, but was interrupted by Qin Hao again.
“Things are wrong.”
Qin Hao looked at Li Shimin with a serious face and said, "The direction of the voice coming from was wrong."
Li Shimin''s expression changed drastically after hearing it carefully, and he said in shock: "How is it possible that Xiang Yu actually ran to the robbery camp?"
The shouts of killing came from the direction of the rear camp, which means that Xiang Yu did not rob the camp from the front, left and right sides that were most likely to succeed, but instead chose the rear camp with the highest difficulty.
The Han army''s camp was also stationed in a dangerous place, and the road leading to the back camp was rugged and steep, and the army could not pass normally, unless there were very few people coming to rob the camp.
Facing the Han army with all cavalry lineups, it would be useless if the number of people robbed the camp was small, so Li Shimin arranged the traps in front, left and right directions, but unexpectedly, Xiang Yu actually came from the rear.
"Why?...By the way...this is the only way."
Li Shimin imagined a dangerous method, which is the only way to explain it, that is, Xiang Yu brought not many people this time.
"But what can this person do? Could it be..."
Li Shimin immediately widened his eyes, and he suddenly realized that there was a stable very close to the rear camp. If Xiang Yu''s target was not the grain warehouse of the front camp, then it could only be the stable of the rear camp.
"No, immediately order the three front and left battalions not to move rashly. The central battalions divided a part of them to follow me to suppress the back camp." Li Shimin said anxiously, and then rushed to the back camp.
The biggest threat to the camp is not from the enemy, but the chaos in people''s hearts and panic has come to the bombing camp, and then killing one''s own people and one''s own people, that is the most terrible thing.
In such a crisis, Li Shimin could still remain extremely calm and issue the most correct orders.
After all, if this is still messy, it will only cause chaos in the back camp, the losses will be minimized, and it will also be convenient for suppression.
In the rear camp of the Han army, there were 100 Yellow Turban soldiers wearing Han army uniforms. Some of them lit the fire and shouted to create chaos, while some of them slashed and killed people when they saw them. Finally, the rear camp gradually became chaotic.
Xiang Yu led some people to the outside of the Han army stable and was discovered by the guards.
"That part of you? Why are you here at the stables so late?"
Xiang Yu approached and said with a smile: "We are here to take the order of General Li Shimin to take a few war horses to carry out secret missions."
"Um?"
The guard showed a suspicious expression and then asked, "Where is the handwritten warrant?"
Xiang Yu reached into his arms, pretended to do something to pull the ball, and slowly approached, but the guard saw Xiang Yu''s eyes clearly and shouted in horror: "It''s Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu is here."
Seeing that the matter was revealed, Xiang Yu immediately led all the entourages to rush in, and threw the torches while running, and the horses began to neigh violently.
The guards of the stable could not stop Xiang Yu at all, and gradually the fire in the stable became even bigger, which scared the horses.
The war horses were in horror. The people couldn''t stop the horses, so they rushed out of the stables and started to rage in the entire camp.
?The two updates have come, and I also recommend a few good books to you, "The Bright Moon in the Qin Dynasty: The Scale of the Counterattack", "Who Restores the Mountains and Rivers of the Han Family" and "This Improper in the End of Han". If you are interested, you can read it.
