Chapter 395 King of Han, King of Chu

Mianshui, also known as Hanshui, Xiangshui, is the longest tributary of the river. Xiangyang is named because it is located in the sun of Xiangshui. However, at this time, Xiangyang was only a small town, and there was a big county opposite, that is Deng County.

On the banks of the Mianshui River, looking at the Chu army that was moving north along more than a dozen floating bridges behind him, Xiang Zhuang suddenly remembered an idiom allusion - throwing a whip and breaking the flow! In Chinese history, Fu Jian, the Former Qin King, claimed that his millions of troops could block the Yangtze River by throwing a whip. Now, Xiang Zhuang really has this feeling.

In order to defeat Liu Bang, Xiang Zhuang mobilized more than 400,000 troops, almost dividing the troops of Jiangdong and Jingxiang. Bashu only left 20,000 troops, and the three imperial guards even came out in full swing. It is no exaggeration to say that this battle is a strategic decisive battle between Chu and Han. If you win, the world will be unified, and if you lose, you may be in a slump.

At noon, all 400,000 Chu troops crossed the Mianshui River and advanced to Deng County.

The magistrate of Deng County had already closed the city gates and had deep ditches and high bases, but the Chu army did not intend to attack the city. Instead, they set up a huge formation on the wilderness in the western suburbs of Deng County. Xiangzhuang had received a scout report that an army with a larger lineup than the Chu army was slowly approaching Deng County. There was no doubt that it was Liu Bang's Han army!

The western suburbs of Deng County are not an endless plain, but a large area of ​​rolling and gentle hills.

Just after noon, a cavalry suddenly appeared on the low and slow hill in the northwest direction. The cavalry were wearing brown leather armor and brown leather helmets, but were wearing bright red battle robes. The cherry-red tassels on the helmet looked particularly sad and beautiful under the luminous sunlight. The Han army, the Han army has arrived!

Immediately afterwards, waves of horns that were as distant as if they were from hell sounded.

Bailixian put down the feather fan on his forehead and turned his head to Xiang Zhuang, "King, they are here."

Xiang Zhuang nodded silently. Almost as soon as Bailixian finished speaking, more Han cavalry appeared continuously on the left and right sides of the cavalry, dozens of cavalry, hundreds, and thousands of cavalry. Then, thousands of Han cavalry were like a flood that broke the dike and stormed down from the slow hill and rushed forward. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple

In an instant, there was no other sound between heaven and earth except for the rumbling sound of horse hooves.

On the rolling and gentle hill ahead, there was no other scene in addition to the moving horse's heads, churning horse's hooves, and bunches of cherry red tassels fluttering in the wind. Even the grass that had just sprouted out was completely obscured by the vast ocean of the Han cavalry.

After an endless sea of ​​cavalry, a big cage embroidered with the words "General Lu of the Han Dynasty" finally appeared on the gentle hill ahead. The big cage swung slightly, and the Han cavalry rushing forward instantly cracked from it, like a torrent cut by a reef, rolling towards the left and right wings.

The cavalry flag then ran down the hill and rushed to the right.

Although they were very far apart, Xiang Zhuang still vaguely saw that under the cavalry star, a Han general who was about thirty years old was racing. Almost while Xiang Zhuang was staring at, the Han general suddenly turned his head and looked. Xiang Zhuang could not even see the outline of the other party’s five tubes, but he actually felt a bone-eroding cold!

What appeared immediately behind the cavalry was the Han army infantry with a larger lineup.

First, there were heavy armored infantry of the Han army. When the heavy armored Han army, wearing heavy armor and holding large shields and long swords, slowly descended along the low hill, it seemed that the earth was falling; behind the heavy armored infantry were halberd spear soldiers, and the rows of halberd spears pointed straight into the sky, and the blade reflected cold flames under the illumination of the scorching sun, and the sky was trembling with it.

Then there were archers carrying longbow and archers, cold and indifferent archers, and finally the light soldiers wearing goat clothes.

More than half an hour later, a bright red flag towering into the clouds finally slowly emerged from behind the low hill. The large flag was embroidered with a big "Han" character. Liu Bang, this is Liu Bang's Han King's flag! As soon as the Han King's flag appeared, the Han army infantry descending along the low hill quickly made a passage out of it. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple

Two quarters of an hour later, the King of Han Daqi appeared in front of the Han army formation with three thousand iron cavalry.

Xiang Zhuang understood the truth and also brought three thousand imperial guards to the Han King's Crown opposite.

Before the war, Liu Bang wanted to meet Xiangzhuang, but why didn’t Xiangzhuang want to meet Liu Bang? In fact, since he traveled to this world, Xiangzhuang has always been thinking about Liu Bang and Liu Bang. What kind of rogue is this civilian emperor who created the Han Empire and the main ethnic group of China because of him?

Three thousand Han army cavalry and three thousand Chu imperial guards slowly separated from their respective formations and approached slowly.

Five hundred steps apart, the three thousand Han cavalry and the three thousand Chu cavalry spread toward the left and right wings almost at the same time, and then there was a continuous sound of metal friction. Then, a sharp horizontal sword or double-edged heavy sword had already arrived in their hands. The strong murderous aura suddenly spread between the two armies, and the battle... was about to break out.

When they were 100 steps apart, the Chu and Han sides stopped at the same time.

Xiang Zhuang narrowed his eyes slightly, expressionless. He had seen too many such scenes. Looking at him, he saw two carriages surrounded by dozens of Han cavalry generals. Two old men with white beards were lying on the carriages. However, they had already sat up now. Xiang Zhuang recognized Liu Bang at a glance, and the old man next to him should be Zhang Liang.

Looking at Liu Bang, who was already in his seventies, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but feel emotion.

As a time traveler, Xiang Zhuang respects Liu Bang from the bottom of his heart. Although this guy was born in the market, he deserves the name of an emperor. He does not have the kingly aura that is leaked from all sides, nor does he have the heroic spirit of a hawk and ape. He looks like an ordinary little old man, but it is him who gave the title of "Han" to Chinese civilization!

"King of Han." Without any hesitation, Xiang Zhuang bowed from afar on the horse's back, "It's been a long time since."

"King of Chu." Liu Bang bowed his hand and looked at Xiang Zhuang with a very complicated look, "The style remains the same as before."

Liu Bang's mood was indeed very complicated at this time, with emotion, bitterness, and even a hint of helplessness. When the Hongmen Banquet on the Bahn, Xiang Zhuang was just the next general of Xiang Yu's tent, but now, Xiang Zhuang has become his nightmare of Liu Bang. Xiang Zhuang did what even Xiang Yu had never done back then.

Xiang Zhuang put down his hands and said as if he was pointing out: "King of Han, you are old and it's time to rest."

Liu Bang shook his hand and said helplessly: "I also want to live a life in Weiyang Palace, but why can't some people stop? Why can't young people be considerate and considerate to the elderly?"

Xiang Zhuang smiled slightly, glanced over and saw two Han generals standing next to Liu Bang. The two Han generals beside Zhang Liang, and the Han general Xiang Zhuang next to Zhang Liang recognized him. He was Zhou Guanfu who had fought with Hu Yan in Jiange. However, Xiang Zhuang, the Han general who was beside Liu Bang, did not recognize him, but the aura he showed was as dangerous as Zhou Guanfu.

Xiang Zhuang's eyes fell on Zhang Liang again, and he smiled and said, "I guess this is Mr. Zhang Liang?"

Zhang Liang smiled casually and bowed to Xiangzhuang from afar on his shoulder, saying, "I, Zhang Liang, see the King of Chu."

"Mr. Zhang Liang, you are not young anymore." Xiang Zhuang sighed, "It's very hard to march and fight."

"Yes, it's really hard for me to go to the battlefield at such a big age." Xiang Zhuang nodded slightly and said deeply, "I hope that after this battle, I will no longer have to go to the battlefield."

"Mr. Zhang Liang, this battle can actually be ignored." Xiang Zhuang smiled slightly, his sharp eyes returned to Liu Bang, and said, "As long as the Han King's army can retreat to Guanzhong, I will definitely withdraw my troops back to Jiangdong! In this way, won't the two old men have to work so hard?"

"Do you want to fight?" Liu Bang sighed and said, "As long as the King of Chu withdraws the Bishu army that attacked Huainan back to Jiangdong, I will withdraw my troops back to Guanzhong without saying a word."

Xiang Zhuang shook his head and said, "What if I don't agree?"

"Then start the war!" A trace of splendor suddenly flashed through Liu Bang's eyes, "Everything is burned!"

Xiang Zhuang nodded, and then he turned around and returned to the formation. The three thousand imperial guards also turned their horses and surrounded Xiang Zhuang and returned to the formation. Liu Bang waved his hand gently, and the four Han soldiers carried two shoulder carriages and turned north one after another, and quickly returned to the Han army formation under the escort of the three thousand imperial cavalry.

The next moment, the two armies had a passionate sound of war drums at the same time.

Xiang Zhi, who went to war with his father for the first time, was excited and excited, and bowed to Xiang Zhuang and said, "Father?!"

Xiang Zhuang turned his head and saw that although the second son who was adopted by Xiang Yu was only fifteen years old, he was as strong as a calf. His arms were thicker than ordinary people's thighs. Although his face was not childish, he had a faint smell of tiger and wolf. His mother was really a tiger father without a dog son.

When Xiang Zhuang was hesitating, Xiang Zhi could no longer hold back and urged his horse to rush out.

Xiang Zhi rode his horse to the two armies and first ran back and forth twice, then made a series of dazzling riding movements on the horse's back. All of these riding movements were taught by Hu Yan. Finally, Xiang Zhi held the spear and shouted loudly, "Xiang Zhi of the Great Chu is here, who dares to fight with a certain battle?"

A burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the Han army. Although Xiang Zhi was as strong as a calf, his face was still childish. He could tell at first that he was a little baby who had not grown up. Zhou Guanfu, Liu Bi and others were disdainful of taking action. However, a young Han general next to Zhou Guanfu could not hold back and rushed to the general Zhou Bo in front of him and said, "Father?!"

Zhou Bo frowned and said in a deep voice: "Yafu is not allowed to make trouble. How can a general be fierce?"

Zhou Guanfu secretly winked at the Han army general with Zhou Bo on his back. The Han army general was overjoyed and immediately urged his horse to rush out of the Han army formation. Zhou Bo was surprised and was about to stop him. Zhou Guanfu said slowly: "Don't worry, father, although the second brother is young, he is skilled in archery and horses. He is expected to win. Even if he loses, isn't there any children?"
