Chapter two hundred and forty first war

Not long ago, when Fusu led troops to attack Xianyang and several other counties, he brought cavalry and the armor of the chain war horses. However, the result was that there was no use for the cavalry all the way, let alone

Let the chain of horses line up and charge the enemy head-on on the battlefield. Therefore, in the eyes of these generals, there is no difference between the attack on Chu and the attack on Xianyang. Chu also needs to be captured city by city, and the cavalry is in

At this time, they can only dismount and fight with the infantry. In this way, their horses become useless and even become a drag on the entire army, because the consumption of the horses is very alarming.

Now Fusu's words meant that this time the attack on Chu was to confront the Chu army on the plains, which made everyone confused. Fusu saw everyone's surprised expressions and the confused words "What?"

", just smiled faintly, and after a while, seeing that everyone had recovered from the shock, he said: "I dare to say this because there is a lot of information about the current situation in Chu Land. One of them is that although Chu Land is now

On the surface, they appear to be united, but in fact, many of the original Chu officials are very dissatisfied with Xiang Yu's actions. In addition, he suffered a defeat in Da Qin, so many people who oppose him must jump out in time, which forces Xiang Yu to

He had to fight our army and regain the support of everyone after defeating us. The second reason lies in Xiang Yu's character. He has always advocated offense and disdained defense. Last time Zhang Han's

When the troops attacked Chu, they were several times more powerful than him, and he dared to attack. Now that the difference in strength between our two sides is not too big, he will definitely not be willing to just defend and not go out to fight." This is except for Fusu.

In addition to his judgment of some of Xiang Yu's previous actions, he also mixed in his understanding of the historical overlords of Western Chu. How could such a man who would feel ashamed to see Jiangdong's elders after a defeat only defend but not attack?

The generals felt that although Fusu's two points were correct, it would be too arbitrary to say that the battle would definitely take place outside the city because of one person. Seeing that everyone was not very convinced, Fusu

Su continued: "These are just internal factors. In fact, there are other reasons that determine that the Chu people will definitely come out of the city to fight with me. Thirdly, after all, the Chu land today is not what it was decades ago. Many of them

The cities are all newly built, and their defensive capabilities are not enough to stop the elite troops of Qin. Therefore, the Chu people can rely on the strength of the cities. They can only come out to fight with me. Moreover, there are many rivers in Chu land, and the southerners are good at boating.

, seeing that we have entered their territory, they will definitely use what they are good at to deal with us. For these reasons, I predict that the Chu army will definitely go out of the city to fight with our army, and once they can

Annihilating most of their troops will make the subsequent siege battle much easier."

Zhang Liang, Han Xin and Meng Tian had already agreed with Fusu for the first reason. After all, they were also good at fighting and were good at grasping the situation, while other generals had to serve as Fusu.

After Su explained everything, he finally agreed with Fusu's view.

In this way, under the leadership of Fusu, the Qin army was stationed in Hanoi County. Every day they practiced how to fight the enemy on the plains and how to attack the city, but no one proposed to attack the Chu people immediately.

.Although the soldiers still didn't understand this, their generals had issued strict orders not to talk about war casually, so the Qin soldiers did not dare to do anything.

In the Ji County of the State of Chu, Xiang Yu was talking to Fan Zeng and others about the current trends of the Qin people. As soon as he was defeated and returned to Chu, many Chu officials who originally supported Qu Dou but later submitted to him jumped out. If it weren't for

He killed one person with determination to serve as a warning, and I'm afraid more people would jump out. But Xiang Yu also knew that doing so would inevitably arouse dissatisfaction from more people. What he needs most now is a big victory. In this way, Chu

The people in the area would re-establish their trust in him. So soon after he returned to Kuaiji, he sent many spies to Qin to investigate the news. Unexpectedly, these spies had just set off, and Qin's actions were already huge.

The people of the Chu State already knew that the Qin Emperor Fu Su Yujia had personally marched. An army of 200,000 had arrived in Hanoi County and was ready to attack Chu at any time.

When they saw this news, the first thing Fan Zeng and others said was: "It turns out that all this is really a trap set by the Qin people. They first pretended to send troops to the north to induce our army to attack, and then relied on

The terrain defeated us, and then we took advantage of the victory to pursue us. Unexpectedly, the Qin people have become so cunning now!"

Xiang Yu, however, wanted to fight the Qin army again and wash away his shame, so he was very excited when he heard the news: "Last time we failed because that was the land of Qin. Their soldiers defended and the reinforcements arrived in time.

Yes, but this time they came to our Chu territory, it was not them who had the final say. You don’t have to worry too much. Didn’t Mr. Fan leave more than 30,000 people in Chenjun and Dong when he returned the army to Kuaiji?

County and Dang County? Once the Qin people come to attack, they can stop the Qin people, and we can bring people and horses to rescue them in time. In this way, we can learn from the Qin people to deal with them."

Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Ta, Long Qie and others heard what Xiang Yu said was very reasonable, and the worries in their hearts were reduced a lot. Only Fan Zeng still frowned, he didn't believe that the Qin people would just win.

This gave him an opportunity to take advantage of, but now he couldn't see through the Qin people's plans, so he didn't say much.

Then what happened next greatly exceeded the expectations of everyone in the Chu region. The Qin army actually just stationed troops in Hanoi County and no longer had any plans to attack the south. The information obtained from various spies was that the Qin army

The army was only there to practice siege operations, and there was no sign that a war was about to begin.

The confused Chu people could only wait uneasily, waiting for the Qin army to suddenly attack one day. However, a month later, the Qin army had no intention of attacking at all, which made them all wonder whether it was the Qin army.

Just want to be stationed there? But the news that even the emperor has arrived in Hanoi County is real. They never believe that the Qin people sent 200,000 troops to Hanoi just to show off their power. They must be thinking

How to attack yourself.

Various speculations spread among the Chu people. Some said that the Qin people came here to pay homage to the souls of the soldiers who died in the battle. Others said that the Emperor of Qin came here to take refuge because of a great plague in Xianyang...

...Anyway, after a month of waiting, many Chu people began not to believe that the Qin people would attack them. Even the Chu soldiers guarding Chen, Dang, and Dong counties began to become careless.

Just when everyone in the Chu Kingdom was paralyzed, on September 11th, Fusu ordered Canghaijun Tianba to raid Dongjun with 10,000 troops. The Chu soldiers in the city had no idea that after nearly two months of silence,

After that, the Qin soldiers suddenly attacked. Without any preparation, Dongjun fell into the hands of the Qin people after only defending for half a day. Then Canghaijun followed Fusu's wishes and left half of his troops.

In Dongjun, I took the others and rushed to Dangjun, where Han Xin had already led his troops to attack.

The guards in Dang County were much better than those in Dong County, but under the joint attack of Han Xin and Cang Haijun, the tens of thousands of troops in the city were unable to withstand the enemy, and in the end the Chu army had to withdraw from Dang County.

Then the Qin army marched into Chen County at the fastest speed with lightning speed. The result was another success, and Chen County also fell into the hands of the Qin Army. It only took less than ten days for the three counties to conquer.

Everything fell into the hands of the Qin people.

When Xiang Yu heard the news, he couldn't believe his ears: "What? There were nearly 30,000 guards in the three counties, and they were all lost in ten days?" He shouted to the messenger.

the man roared.

The man looked at the blood-red Xiang Yu with fear, and stammered: "Back to Overlord, Qin... This Qin people's raid is really... too sudden. Most of the defenders in the city... don't know yet.

Why...when the incident happened, the Qin army had already attacked...the city. Although the soldiers...the soldiers resisted desperately, they were still...lost to the Qin people. In the end...the city was captured by the Qin people."

Xiang Yu angrily went up to give the man a blow, but was caught by Fan Zeng. He said to the man: "You go down first." The man escaped like a bereaved dog. After the man went out, Fan Zeng said

: "It's no wonder that the soldiers guarding those three counties have not taken any action at all during this period. Anyone would relax their vigilance. Isn't this the same for me?"

But Xiang Yu still said loudly: "Three cities were taken in ten days. I'm afraid Sun Wu won't take my Chu land so easily, right? This is really a shame for me, Xiang Yu."

Fan Zeng said: "Actually, I have been a little surprised from the beginning why the Qin people chose the hot summer of July to come to our Chu land. It turns out that he just wanted to paralyze us and make us relax our vigilance, and then suddenly attacked and killed us by surprise. Overlord, now

This is not the time to pursue any responsibilities, let alone get angry. We should quickly make all preparations to fight the Qin army. If my expectations are correct, after taking the three counties, the Qin army will soon use this method.

With the three counties as the main points, the troops were divided into three groups to attack several other important places. Therefore, our top priority is to prepare the soldiers for a deadly battle."

Xiang Yu slowly calmed down and nodded: "Okay, then I will immediately order the generals and gather the troops. Tomorrow I will take the troops to fight the Qin army. I don't believe that with the elite troops of Chu, I can't."

Defeat the Qin army." After saying this, Fan Zeng walked directly to the door without waiting for anything else. Now he just wanted to have a good battle with the Qin army on the battlefield to vent his hatred. (Unfinished)
