I’m The King Chapter 1040: :East and West (Thirty-Three)

Li Xinku sat in the big tent, an oil lamp was shining with a lonely fire, reflecting his tired face, the weather was uncertain, and the big tent was in a mess, it was the generals who had heard the bad news and left. It was left behind when we left. At nightfall, the cavalry who sporadically escaped from Balahai returned to the camp, bringing news of the arrival of the main force of the Han cavalry, and what shocked Li Xin even more was another copy from the Black Ice Terrace. In this report, the Han State has completely completed the occupation of Qi, King Qi surrendered, the Han army with more than 100,000 troops conquered Linyi, Qu Wan was forced to retreat, and the Han army took advantage of the momentum to attack the territory of Chu State. On another battlefield, two infantry corps commanded by Shangguan Hong, the commander of the Young Guards Corps of the Han Dynasty, attacked the three counties of Handi. Now Shangguan Hong's young guards are also attacking Chu State.

Li Xin knows the personality of King Huai of Chu too well. After stealing chickens and robbing Bami, this king will not think about fighting back, but must be thinking about how to end this war with Han with dignity. .

Chu people live in the south, and the common people have lived comfortably for many years. They have an instinctive aversion to war, and King Huai of Chu is the most outstanding representative among them.

If the Chu people retreat, Qin will have to face the war with Han alone.

There is no advantage at all. The Qin State labored on an expedition, and the Han army fought on the mainland. The combat effectiveness of the two sides is almost the same. Three points.

But these are just things to talk about. Now, what Li Xin has to consider is how to get out. The 20,000 cavalry are almost wiped out. This is fatal for an army walking on the grassland. At the beginning, it was thought that the Chu State would contain a large number of Han troops, and Meng Tian and Lu Chao would also make it impossible for the Han army to escape, but now it seems that all this has come to naught, since the Donghu independent cavalry division appeared on the battlefield. It can be seen that the Han army has spare strength.

Thinking of the victory report received by Meng Tian and Lu Chao's army two days ago, claiming that they had conquered Daliang, the capital of Wei State, Ye Zhen, the commander of the Central Army of the Han Army, led his troops to retreat, but from the victory report, Li Xin could see Something went wrong, because the number of enemies annihilated was too small, Ye Zhen was not defeated, but took the initiative to retreat.

Exchanging space for time! This idea flashed in Li Xin's mind. They are dragging the end of the grassland battle and waiting for Chu to surrender. Once the dust settles on both sides, the Qin army will penetrate deeper. The harder it is to withdraw.

Immediately withdraw the army, let Meng Tian and Lu Chao kill Zhao Guo completely when they return to the army, then Qin Guo will not gain nothing this time.

Thinking of this, Li Xin immediately took up his pen and wrote a letter to King Qin Wulie.

"General!" A guard from outside rushed in, "But the general is back, but the general is back!"

"What? But the rain is back?" Li Xin stood up abruptly, and accidentally, a large stain fell on the tip of the pen, which stained the half-written letter. After that, he strode out.

Blood-stained Dan Yu stepped in from the outside, saw Li Xin, sobbed and knelt down on the ground, "General, I lost, I failed the trust of the general, more than ten thousand elite riders The whole army is destroyed, please use my head to inspire the army's morale."

Li Xin shook his head with a wry smile, and stretched out his hand to support Dan Yu, "The Donghu Independent Cavalry Division appeared on the battlefield, not to mention you, even I couldn't think of it, and the Black Ice Terrace didn't even get any news. It's not your fault. The Eastern Hu cavalry were already super powerful. Back then, even the Huns were no match for them. What's more, they were far more numerous than you, and with the support of the Huns herdsmen, you didn't win this battle at all. If there is a chance to be held accountable, I am the first person who should be held accountable.”

"Great General!" But tears were streaming down his face. "What should we do now? Gao Yuan also appeared on the battlefield, among the Donghu cavalry."

"Gao Yuan?" Li Xin was taken aback, "You said Gao Yuan appeared here in person?"

"Yes, I will fight against him in the end, and I was captured alive by him. I didn't break out, but was released by him." But Yu said shamefully.

"There must be a reason for him to let you go. What did he say?" Li Xin's face was serious. If the appearance of the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division on the battlefield was just a surprise to him, then Gao Yuan should appear here. It shocked him, what does this represent? It means that Gao Yuan doesn't care about the other two battlefields at all, that is to say, Gao Yuan has absolute certainty of victory in those two battlefields, but on the contrary, the grassland is what he is most worried about That's why I showed up in person.

"He asked me to bring four words to the general!" Dan Yu whispered.

"Which four words!"

"Go all the way!"

Li Xin's body shook slightly, he turned around, walked to the map hanging on the side, stared at the black line from Shannan County City to here, thousands of miles away, all the way!

"General, what should we do?" Dan Yu asked.

"Going all the way?" Li Xin smiled wryly, "But Yu, withdraw from here to Shannan County City, across thousands of miles along the way, there is no one inhabited, no food and grass, how far do you think we can go?"

"The general, please lead an elite team with enough food and grass, retreat first, and the last general is willing to lead his troops to finish." Dan Yu firmly said.

"Can you outrun a war horse? Or can I outrun a war horse?" Li Xin smiled softly, "Now I gather all the cavalry in the whole army, and it's only a few thousand horses. Do you think Gao Yuan will Let me escape easily? Let's do the math, Donghu Independent Cavalry Division has 20,000 people, and those hateful Xiongnu herdsmen now have about 20,000 people, plus He Lanxiong who escaped from trouble, Gao Yuan can easily gather Forty to fifty thousand cavalry, where are we going?"

"General, you can order General Wang Xiao to retreat quickly! The two armies are combined, or we can kill a **** road!" Dan Yu said.

"The more people there are now, the greater the burden. Wang Xiao's 50,000 troops, how much food and grass do they need every day?" Li Xin shook his head and said. Kill a **** road out of the impossible, or just flee all the way, and be eaten by Gao Yuan bit by bit on the way to escape?"

"General, of course I am willing to choose the first path!" Dan Yu said loudly.

"Okay." Li Xin gave a thumbs up: "Gao Yuan thinks that I want to run and preserve my strength, probably he also understands me very well, knowing that I am cautious all my life and rarely take risks, but this One time, I want to surprise him. Go all the way? Haha, instead of leaving, I want to compete with him. If we win, we will win everything. If we lose, we will bury our bones on this grassland!"

"Does the general want it?" Dan Yu asked.

"I want to launch an attack on Yan Haibo, the whole army!" Li Xin showed a ferocious look on his face, "Yan Haibo led an army of 30,000 out of Jishi City and forced them all the way. In the first few days, the march was like a tortoise. , but since yesterday, I have accelerated suddenly, and I want to destroy him. Then I will attack Jishi City fiercely. We will be tortured to death by him during our escape. If we are lucky enough to take down Jishi City, then we can survive from death."

"I am willing to fight this life with the general!"

"Very good, but Yu, our army still has 5,000 cavalry, and I will leave them all to you. I don't care how you fight, as long as you try to make Gao Yuan's cavalry feel apprehensive, Liu Dacheng will lead three Thousands of soldiers are going to attack Yan Haibo, and I will lead an army of 50,000 straight to Jishi City. This is a desperate fight, to put it bluntly, it is a fight between trapped beasts, and the dog jumps over the wall." Li Xin slapped his palm on the table and said loudly .

The camp of the Qin army boiled up, and by the middle of the night, the huge camp had turned into ruins all over the place. The tens of thousands of troops were divided into several groups, and they rushed towards their respective targets. Li Xin didn't attack his target. The generals concealed any real information and just told them that if they want to survive, this is the only way out, and if they retreat, they can only die faster.

Thinking of fighting the Xiongnu cavalry and Donghu cavalry on a long distance of thousands of miles, none of the generals of the Qin army had the confidence. Li Xin's plan was their only way to survive from death. Hurry up, don't mobilize, this time it is no longer fighting for Qin, but fighting for your own life.

The Qin army has played a high efficiency that they did not have when they were the strongest in the past, which made Li Xin a little relieved, or, with the courage to break the boat, his army still has a little hope, even Insignificant, but as long as there is hope, there is the possibility of realization.

When I was a little book boy, I determined to be a great general. This hope was so small, but didn't I still let myself realize it in the end?

Miracle is made by man.

Balahai, the camp of the Han army, He Lanxiong appeared in front of Gao Yuan with a haggard face, and with a bang, he fell to his knees, "Your Majesty, I have shamed you."

Gao Yuan took a step forward and pulled He Lanxiong up, "How can there be a general who is invincible in all battles in this world, and occasionally stumbles, it's nothing? What's more, Li Xin is a famous general in the world, even if I face him, I feel trembling in my heart, like walking on thin ice , In order to lure you into the bait, this person actually used the blood of the Huns as bait, it is too abominable, put yourself in your shoes, if I were in your shoes, I am afraid I can't bear it."

He Lanxiong felt a little relieved when he heard what Gao Yuan said, "This man is extremely powerful in using troops. I thought I was a cavalry soldier, but he was mostly an infantry soldier. Even if I set a trap, I could escape calmly. How could he There is no flaw in the buried battle laid down. No matter which direction I go, I will bump into his soldiers and horses. If there is a delay, his cavalry will rush to entangle me. Surrounded by him, this person is on the marching formation, which opened my eyes."

"If you can learn something from the defeat, you will have the qualifications to become a famous general in the world. He Lan, this failure will become a stepping stone for your future success. Li Xin's use of troops is indeed worth learning. Places, especially things on this tactical level, this person can be called a master!" (to be continued)
