Chapter 262 The bloody battle between Ying Zheng and Liu Bang
"Your Majesty, Ying Zheng uses Bai Qi as the head coach, Wang Jian and Wang Ben as the vanguards and commanders, and leads an army of 700,000 to fight against our Han border. It can be seen that Ying Zheng is planning to completely sweep our country this time." Zhang Liang said to Liu Bang, who was silent next to him while walking in the camp corridor.
Liu Bang is actually very worried now. They can open up some territory to get more benefits for them, but Ying Zheng suddenly intercepted the Hu, forcing him to withdraw his troops back to Beijing and move closer to the border.
Han Xin had some experience in fighting with Bai Qi before. He found that Bai Qi's combat method was very fierce, basically a big opening and closing. He would never have to take this risk if he could use the human sea tactics to kill him.
Han Xin has returned to the capital and has successfully taken over the command of the western border. In three days, he will lead 150,000 troops around the capital to move closer to the front line. He is not relying on many people to fight, but to be talented. As long as the soldiers are elite and food is sufficient, tens of thousands of people can defeat more than 100,000 people.
Yuan Shao fought with Cao Cao to the end, but Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao. More than 200,000 soldiers were destroyed in Guandu, Hebei. More than 100,000 soldiers were gathered in the Battle of Cangting, and was defeated by Cao Cao again with a very small force.
Therefore, there are also cases of winning with less, but who is facing the person? If the person like Zhao Wang Xie commands the battle, then Han Xin should be more than enough to defeat his hundreds of thousands of troops.
However, everyone knows who Ying Zheng is. Who dares to question his ability that swept across the six kingdoms? Who dares to doubt the talents he appointed? What kind of existence Bai Qi exists and what kind of existence Wang Jian exists? Therefore, Han Xin has great difficulties in this war.
"General, when will the troops be sent? We can't wait!" General Xiahou Ying, the cavalry, walked into the military tent and asked.
Han Xin shook his head and said, "This war is too risky. I need to prepare well. There must be enough time. Let Li Guang on the front line make him insist on waiting for assistance. He must never let him retreat. As long as we retreat, we want to regain the city. The longer the time is, the harder it will be to get it back."
But it was too late. Li Guang had already led his troops to retreat and avoid his edge. Moreover, it was an order issued by Liu Xiu himself. Han Xin shouted that something was wrong. Who would know the danger they face if they retreated?
"Who told him to retreat!" Han Xin cursed and slapped his hands hard on the sand table. All his plans were disrupted.
So Xiahou Ying told Han Xin about Liu Xiu's plan, but Han Xin shook his head and vetoed: "Childish! I know more about Ying Zheng than him. If you retreat, their 700,000 troops will continue to penetrate into our Han territory!"
But now it has retreated, and it will be too late to go back.
Immediately afterwards, Geng Wu, the military supervisor, walked in, and the news he brought was also bad news.
"General, the front line reported urgently. While Li Guang retreated, Wang Ben led 50,000 cavalry to chase him. General Gongsun Zan and General Du Yannian were seriously injured. Our army cut off the rear and began to retreat across the board!"
After hearing this news, Han Xin was completely confused. What was Liu Xiu's command? Unlike the rebels of his period, the Qin army was all organized by the civilians. What was the Qin army? They were all elite troops. Can they compare with the era Liu Xiu was in?
