Chapter 381
Chapter 381 Shocked retreat
Han Xin sat up with Han Kan and Han He's support. Lou Jing quickly brought a soft pad and placed it behind Han Xin. Han Xin leaned against the soft pad and then looked up at Cheng Hei, Zhao Xi, Xu Qing, and Lu Zhang, who were kneeling in front of the couch, and asked in a faint tone: "So, the Chu army has crossed the Zibo River?"
Cheng Hei trembled when he heard this and said tragically: "King, I will be incompetent."
Zhao Xi was also ashamed and said, "King, please punish me for my crime!"
Xu Qing and Lu Zhang also bowed and asked Han Xin for punishment.
Aside, Lou Jing was frowning. Compared to the war in front of him, he was more worried about Han Xin's safety. Doctor Gongsun told him that the king could not bear the stimulation at all. Seeing that the plan to cheat death failed, the entire Chu army crossed the Zibo River, and the Qi army was already in danger. How could the king not be stimulated?
Han Xin frowned and said impatiently: "I want to know the process."
Cheng Hei gritted his teeth and told the process of crossing the river separately.
"So that's it." Han Xin nodded and sighed, "The Chu army solved my plan to cheat death so simply, which was really beyond my expectations." After saying this, Han Xin said to the four generals Cheng Hei, "It's no wonder you are this matter. Even if I am, I am afraid that I can't stop the Chu army from crossing the river. Let's get up."
"Thank you, King." Cheng Hei, Zhao Xi, Xu Qing and Lu Zhang stood up one after another.
Han Xin took a breath and said to Han Kan again, "Kan'er, He'er, change clothes for his father."
Han Kan was honest by nature and said aloud and was about to step forward, but Han He stopped him. Han He reached out to stop Han Kan and asked Han Xin anxiously: "Father, are you trying?"
Lou Jing was also worried and anxious and said, "King, you have not crossed the arrow sores, so where can you not go into battle?"
"Asia, do you have any other way?" Han Xin smiled and said, "The Chu army has already crossed the Zibo River. If I don't show up again, Xiang Zhuang's son should know that I must be seriously injured!"
#############
At noon, Xiang Zhuang rode a black horse and slowly rode up the small hill in the northeast corner of the Qi army camp surrounded by Bailixian, Jin Xiang, Huyan and hundreds of Yulin Guards. Standing on the small hill, you can see the situation of the Qi army camp from a high place. At this moment, the riots in the Qi army camp had already subsided. ( )
Hu Yan said to Jin Xiang in a muffled voice: "The riots of the Qi army are indeed fake."
Jin Xiang nodded and whispered: "I didn't expect this to be a trap."
Xiang Zhuang smiled slightly, pointed the Qi army camp in front of him with the horse whip in his hand, and asked Baili Xian: "Ziliang, it seems that the riots in the Qi army are indeed fake. So, do you think Han Xin is alive or dead?"
Baili Xian raised his feather fan to block the dazzling sunshine at noon and said thoughtfully: "Whether Han Xin is alive or dead, the king will soon know. If Han Xin is not dead, then the Qi army will soon come out to fight. If Han Xin is already dead, then the Qi army will be unable to retreat and wait for us to attack."
#############
The Qi army camp and the central army tent.
Han He pondered for a moment, and suddenly said to Han Xin: "Father, you just said that if you don't show up again, Xiang Zhuang should know that you are seriously injured, right?"
Han Xin nodded slightly and said, "That's right."
Han He smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, why don't your father lure the enemy again?"
"I'll lure the enemy again?" Han Xin looked at Han He with soft eyes and asked, "How to lure the enemy?"
Han He said: "If your father does not show up, Xiangzhuang will know that you are seriously injured. Then Xiangzhuang will definitely urge the army to attack our camp. Our army is just in charge of the battalion. With its strong battalion defense, it consumes the strength of the Chu army and its strength. Isn't this a greater chance of winning than the field battle?"
Han Xin shook his head slightly and sighed: "He'er, you're still young."
#############
With a small hill on the hill, Jin Xiangce immediately stepped forward and said to Xiang Zhuang: "King, the Qi army has not made any noise until now. It seems that Han Xin is mostly dead. Even if he is not dead, he will only breathe a sigh of relief. At the moment, the Qi army must be filled with people and the morale of the army is disintegrating. Why not launch a frontal attack immediately and defeat them in one go?"
"Front attack?" Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said calmly, "Why do you need to attack?"
"Don't you forcefully attack?" Jin Xiang said in surprise, "Are we crossing the Zibo River just to defeat the Qi army?"
"There is no need to attack the Qi army even if it is defeated." Xiang Zhuang disagreed. "If Han Xin really died, the 100,000 Qi army in front of him would be just a group of native chickens and tile dogs. I have some ways to deal with them, so why bother to hurry?"
"But, but..." Jin Xiang scratched his head and whispered, "We don't have much military ration."
"If there is insufficient military rations, slaughter mules and horses and stew wild vegetables!" Xiang Zhuang said, "I would rather slaughter war horses as military rations than take risks with the lives of the soldiers!" This time, the cavalry army brought a total of 20,000 mules and horses. If they really slaughtered wild vegetables as military rations, it would be enough to support them for a while.
#############
The Qi army camp and the central army tent.
Han Xin sighed and said, "The Chu army cannot afford to consume it, but we cannot afford to consume it even more. For the sake of the present, only I will openly show up and put pressure on Xiang Zhuang, and maybe I can still retreat the Chu army, otherwise the situation will be in danger!"
Lou Jing nodded silently. There seemed to be no other way except for the king's appearance in public.
Han Xin raised his hands with great effort and said to Han Kan, Han He: "Come on, change your clothes for your father."
#############
On the hill, Xiang Zhuang pulled his horse back and greeted Baili Xian and said, "Ziliang, let's go back."
Bailixian nodded, and was about to put down the feather fan on his forehead, his eyes suddenly condensed, as if he had discovered something abnormal. Xiang Zhuang's heart suddenly jumped. Before he could turn his horse's head again, a low horn sound sounded behind him. Is this... Qi Jun's horn?
When he turned around, the Qi army camp was indeed moving.
Teams of Qi army were rushing out of the tents everywhere and gathering towards the gate.
At the gate, teams of Qi army's iron armor surged out like a torrent of steel. Following the heavy armored martial soldiers, teams of light soldiers, teams of archers, spearmen, and even a small number of cavalry. However, what surprised Xiang Zhuang the most was the purple Qi King's flag!
The King of Qi is actually Han Xin’s King of Qi. Han Xin is not dead?!
Almost at the same time, Bailixian also turned his head and looked at Xiangzhuang, his eyes full of solemnity.
Jin Xiang even screamed in a low voice: "Han Xin's Qi King's Chronicle? No, this is impossible!"
Before he finished speaking, a high looking car had slowly risen from the Qi army formation. The purple Qi King's Celestial also rose to a higher place with the looking car. Xiang Zhuang put on a tent and looked forward, and saw a familiar figure standing on the towering looking car, wearing a white robe and a purple cloak. Han Xin, who else can there be besides Han Xin?!
"What's going on?" At this moment, Xiang Zhuang couldn't believe his eyes. Han Xin was hit by Yuyuan's three arrows, especially the arrow that was critical to the vest, which was definitely a fatal arrow. But now, Han Xin appeared on the battlefield again. Could it be that the one who was shot by Yuyuan in Huanglongdang yesterday was just a fake?
Bailixian slowly lowered the feather fan and said in a deep voice: "King, maybe this is fake!"
Xiang Zhuang nodded slightly, and an inexplicable fierce light suddenly burst into his eyes. He said with a grim voice: "Is it true or false? You'll know if you try it?" After saying this, Xiang Zhuang turned around and ordered Jin Xiang, "Give orders, the left part of the left and right battalions, and the front part of the right battalion used cutting tactics to attack the Qi army from the left and right wings, and the front part of the right battalion was restrained from the front!"
"Yes!" Jin Xiang replied with a loud bang, and then urged the horse to gallop away.
A moment later, the sound of the Chu army's horns sounded on the west bank of the Zibo River. Amid the endless sound of the horns, the Chu army cavalry that had originally swam around the Qi army camp began to gather like rivers and rivers flowing into the sea. In less than half a quarter of an hour, they gathered into two huge cavalry formations.
#############
At the main formation of Qi army, Han Xin was "stern" in the towering carriage in the wind.
Seeing Han Xin appearing in the car "safe and sound", the Qi army soldiers suddenly felt thunderous and their morale was greatly boosted. However, only the imperial guards closest to Han Xin could clearly see that the king's situation was not good. Not only was his face gray, but his forehead had already seen cold sweat as big as beans.
Han Xin's arrow sores have not healed, and the toxins that have penetrated into his lungs have not been eliminated. If Cao Qi had not been supported in a hidden way, Han Xin would have probably collapsed to the ground.
Not far away, Lou Jing stood with a worried face. Lou Jing was really worried, worried that Han Xin would die suddenly. If this happens, it would be a huge disaster for the Qi army!
Although facing Lou Jing, Han Xin seemed to guess the worry in Lou Jing's heart and whispered: "Axiang, are you worried that I will die suddenly? Haha, in fact, you are too worried. I know my body myself. The arrow on the vest has indeed caused a severe blow to me, but within three or two years, I will not die."
Lou Jing hurriedly said: "The King is in full swing in spring and autumn, and he will definitely live a hundred years of longevity."
"A hundred years old?" Han Xin smiled, "Isn't that so much of a grandfather?"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of the Chu army's horn suddenly sounded around him. The Chu army rangers, which were originally scattered around the Qi army camp, quickly began to assemble. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Chu cavalry gathered into two huge cavalry formations, and then the two teams of cavalry separated from the formation and crushed the Qi army from the left and right wings.
Lou Jing sighed and said, "King, the Chu army has begun to attack."
"No." Han Xin waved his hand slightly and said, "Xiang Zhuang is just a test."
After saying this, Han Xin ordered Cao Qi to say: "Tell me the left camp of the left army, the right camp of the right army attacked from the front, entangled the Chu cavalry on both sides, the left army bow camp, and the right army bow camp to suppress the enemy's cavalry and shooting with all their strength. The left army front camp and the right army front camp moved forward at full speed, then rolled back the two wings and ate the two Chu cavalry for me."
