: The Battle of Bixian

Three days later, outside the outskirts of Bi County.

Fifty thousand Chu troops had already formed a tight array, with four thousand cavalry protecting the left and right wings. In front of them were 10,000 heavily armored military soldiers from the Hu Ben Right Camp, followed by the spearmen, archers, and light soldiers camps, and finally the baggage soldiers. Rows of large baggage trucks firmly protected the entire formation.

The Chu army in Jingxiang was dispatched in full force. In order to gather troops as much as possible, Gao Chu even handed over Jiangling's defense to the Jingxiang Prefecture soldiers who had just been organized. The Jingxiang Prefecture soldiers were recruited after Ziche Shi took office. Since the people of the four counties of Jingxiang have not yet completely surrendered, there were not many soldiers who took the initiative to recruit, and in the early stage, only more than 5,000 people were recruited.

These more than 5,000 Jingxiang soldiers must not be sent to the battlefield, and they are barely able to defend the city.

The center of the entire military formation is the main formation of the Chu army. Gao Chuyi looked cold and was standing on the chariot with his knife. The war was imminent, but he was not very nervous. Whether he was dead or alive, winning or losing, it was all in this battle. The Chu army had no way out. Today, either Peng Yue died or Gao Chu died!

The strong wind blew up the central army's flag on the chariot and made a loud bang.

Behind Gao Chu, Xu Jiang put on a tent and looked forward with his forehand. Suddenly, Xu Jiang seemed to have some sense and said, "General, they are here, Liang Jun is here."

Gao Chu nodded silently, his expression still remained indifferent.

Without warning, a low horn sound came from the Kuangye in the north.

Then, a faint black line appeared on the distant horizon. As time passed, the black line was slowly extending towards the two wings, and at the same time became thicker and thicker. At some point, rows of flags suddenly jumped out of it, and then the entire black line turned into a turbulent crowd. Liang Jun... arrived.

#############

In the wilderness, the 100,000 Liang troops were like wild bison migrating south, heading south in a mighty manner.

Among the thousands of troops, Peng Yue held the shaft of the chariot with his hand and was standing steadily on his luxurious chariot. Looking down from the chariot, his eyes were filled with people's heads and surging crowds. A strange feeling suddenly rose from Peng Yue's heart, and instantly spread throughout his body along his limbs and veins.

It’s this feeling, the feeling of battlefield and killing, which has been a long time since I was gone!

At the end of the right view, a dilapidated city suddenly appeared. You can tell without thinking that it must be Bi County. Peng Yue turned his head and asked Peng Ming: "Have you ever investigated the city?"

As a veteran, Peng Yue has experienced many battles. Although he is not as good as Han Xin and as good as Liu Bang to control people, there is a reason why he can escape from the anti-Qin army and become a prince who dominates the country. At least, he still knows some basic elements on the battlefield.

Peng Ming bowed and said, "Report to the king, there are no ambushes in the city."

Peng Yue's eyes crossed the bustling Liang army and landed on the Chu army who was waiting for battle in the distance. A faint murderous intent suddenly burst out from the corner of Peng Yue's mouth. Yu Han said disdainfully: "Child Gao Chu, the formation is quite like that, but the mob is a mob. What's the use of the formation that is good?"

After saying that, Peng Yue turned around and shouted, "Where is Liu Kou?"

Liu Kou, who was riding his horse, hurriedly rushed forward, bowed on the horse's back, and said proudly: "The last one will be here."

Peng Yue raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger and pointed at the Chu army lined up in front of him, saying, "Lead the elite troops of our headquarters to defeat the Chu army within two hours. If you can't do it, you don't have to come back to see me."

"Yes!" Liu Kou responded with a loud bang, and then urged Ma Yang to leave.

The horn sounded, and the Liang army, which was rushing south, was instantly divided into two groups. Peng Yue personally led the army to stop, while Liu Kou continued to move south with a 30,000 vanguard army, heading straight for the Chu army to come.

Only when the two armies were less than a stone's apart did the Liang army finally shoot.

At the opening of the Chu army's formation flag, a pegasus had already appeared, but it was the powerful general Tiedan under Gao Chu's tent.

Tiedan's Pegasus came out of the battle until the Liang army stopped, and then attacked each other with the two iron halberds in his hand, shouting: "Iron Dan from Jiangdong is here, who dares to come forward to fight a certain battle?"

Before he finished speaking, a young general behind Liu Kou could no longer hold back. He immediately came out of the battle and shouted: "Don't be arrogant, Liu Chong of Dang County is here!" Liu Chong was Liu Kou's nephew. He has followed Liu Kou since he was a child. His martial arts were all masters of Liu Kou, and he had the courage to be inappropriate to thousands of men.

As they spoke, the two horses had already intersected, and the iron-dan double halberd and Liu Chongda Ben collided with each other in a tricky manner.

With a clanging explosion, Tiedan felt a wild and unparalleled force rolling back like a tide of tide. The tiger's mouth of both hands was suddenly shattered, and blood splattered, and a pair of iron halberds almost flew away! Tiedan was shocked. At such a young age, his clenchymal force was so strong?!

At this moment, Tiedan dared not fight anymore, so he turned his horse and headed straight for the formation.

Liu Chong was not willing to give up, so he immediately urged his horse to chase Tiedian with a gun.

Tiedan was quick, and Liu Chong saw that he couldn't catch up with him. In desperation, he crawled in front of the saddle, and then pulled the bow and arrow to shoot Tiedan. In front of the formation, the Chu army loudly reminded him that Tiedan avoided left and right dodged, barely dodged two arrows, but was shot directly by Liu Chong's third arrow. He screamed and fell backwards from the horse's back.

Liu Chong was overjoyed. He immediately returned to the bow and the spear in his hand to kill Tiedan.

Seeing that Tie Dan was about to die under Liu Chong's spear, a cavalry of fiery red horse had already sped out of the Chu army formation. Before the horse arrived, a little cold star had already rushed towards Liu Chong's face with a harsh roar. Liu Chong's heart was trembling and he pushed his spear to block it. With a sound of explosion, a heavy wolf-tooth arrow had broken into two pieces and fell to the ground.

"Liu Chong, don't hurt my general. Gao Chu, the Hou of Fan Township, Da Chu!" After a moment of delay, the BMW with red fur had already arrived in front of the Iron Dan like a electric motor. A Chu general on the horse's back had a short beard curled up like a steel needle, and his eyes were bright and bright, as if two balls of cold flames were burning in it, which made people feel palpitations.

"You are Gao Chu?" Liu Chong was not surprised but happy, and then stabbed him.

"You are looking for death!" Gao Chu was furious and danced his halberd to fight Liu Chong. At that moment, the two of them fought in front of the formation like a lantern. In less than twenty rounds, Liu Chong gradually became timid. No matter what, Liu Chong was only seventeen years old. Although his physical strength was extraordinary, his body had not yet grown completely, and his fighting experience was far less than Gao Chu.

When Gao Chu was about to sell a flaw and kill Liu Chong, another cavalry came out of the Liang army formation.

"Gaochu, don't hurt my nephew!" But Liu Kou was worried that his nephew would be in trouble, so he came to help the battle.

Gao Chu cheered up his spirits, and his big halberd opened and closed. He fought with Liu Kou and Liu Chong's uncle and nephew. Suddenly, the soldiers of the two armies shouted like a tsunami, and cheered for their respective generals frantically.

After more than fifty rounds of battle, Gao Chu gradually became impatient and was about to take the lead and shot Liu Kou, but a golden sound sounded in the formation. At that moment, Gao Chu tried his best to force Liu Chong to retreat, and then turned around and headed straight for the formation.

Liu Chong was unwilling to accept it and wanted to chase him again, but Liu Kou was tied to the reins of the horse.

"Uncle?!" Liu Chong pointed his hand at Gao Chu, unwilling to accept his wish, "Why don't you let your nephew kill him?"

"Chong'er, you can't kill him." Liu Kou shook his head and said, "Uncle Wei can't kill him either. If you want to kill him, you must destroy his army first!" After that, Liu Kou raised his halberd and led forward. The 30,000 Liang troops who were waiting for him were immediately as if they had found a wolf pack of prey, and they screamed and covered them up.

#############

Hanzhong County Shangyong, a small county town has already gathered 100,000 troops.

In the lobby of the county government, almost all the famous officials and generals of the Han Dynasty were gathered, including Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Bai Mo, Chen Ping, and Zhou Bo, and Han King Liu Bang.

In this battle, Liu Bang prepared 200,000 elite troops, of which 100,000 were gathered at Shangyong, and the other 100,000 were gathered at Wuguan.

Unlike the Chu State, the Han army did not have the embarrassment of insufficient food.

The Han Dynasty owned the three major granaries of Guanzhong, Bashu and Sanchuan. After ten years of accumulation, the amount of grain accumulated in the Xianyang Taicang was more than 3 million stones. The Jiuyuan Battle sent 600,000 troops, which only consumed more than one million stones. In other words, the Han Dynasty could fight at least twice more in a war of a scale like the Jiuyuan Battle!

What is strength? This is strength!

In this regard, the Chu State was also dwarfed. Although the land in Jiangdong was fertile, its reclaimed level could not be compared with Guanzhong. Bashu and Sanchuan. Not only was the total area of ​​arable land much smaller, but the yield per mu was even more incomparable. Therefore, after ten years of accumulation, the Chu State only saved one million stones of grain, which was the result of the tricks and plundering of various countries.

It is precisely because of this that Xiangzhuang would risk expeditioning to Bashu, because only by seizing the large granary of Bashu can the Chu State get rid of the constraints of food shortage! Otherwise, no matter how developed the Chu State's business is, no matter how sufficient military pay is, and no matter how well the Chu army's equipment is, if there is not enough military ration, it will be blind.

The Han Dynasty had sufficient food, so the reason why he only sent 200,000 troops was that he did not want to over-consuming national strength.

In order to regain Jiuyuan, the Han Dynasty has recruited 500,000 more soldiers to fight for several months. If Guanzhong more soldiers are recruited again for continuous battles, the people of Guanzhong will definitely complain.

What's more, the battle between Jingxiang did not require the whole country to deal with it. According to Zhang Liang's proposal, in the early stage of the Jingxiang War, the Han army would not hold on until the victory and defeat of Chu and Liang were decided, and the Han army would wait for an opportunity to act. At that time, whether the Liang army won or the Chu army won, both sides were exhausted, and the Han army could easily make profits without too much force.

If Peng Yue wins, the Han army will take the opportunity to sweep Jingxiang, first cut off the connection between Bashu and Jiangdong, and then find a way to regain the big granary of Bashu. If Gao Chu wins, the Han army will go eastward and first destroy Liang State in one fell swoop, thus threatening Chu State's Jiangdong nest from the Central Plains.

In the past few days, Liu Bang and the others have been paying attention to the battle situation in Jingxiang, and the meteor scouts have also reported the latest situation of Jingxiang to Shangyong day and night.
