Chapter 14 The War between Xiang and Han
"The Han army stopped, otherwise this person would land on the ground." Xiang Zhuang leaned against the Han general's neck and shouted.
The Han army, who was fighting and leaving, heard Xiang Zhuang's loud shout and couldn't help but look over. He saw that his chief general had been held hostage and was stiff there for a while. The Chu army was not vague and took advantage of the momentum to step forward and seize the weapons of the Han army in front of him.
"The Han general is common." Xiang Zhuang was secretly surprised when he saw that there were only a few thousand people in the Han camp, but his panic expression could not be revealed in the army. First of all, let's ask the prisoner.
"The villain Liu Fan is just a subordinate general. I hope the general will spare his life." The general kowtowed in panic.
"It is naturally no problem to spare your life, but you have to say everything you know, and there must be no missed." Xiang Zhuang sneered, shaking his big knife from time to time, intimidating this coward named Liu Fan.
"The villain must tell everything." Liu Feng's face was fat, and his flesh trembled when he smiled, which made Xiang Zhuang feel nauseous.
"Say, who asked you to lead your troops to station here? How many soldiers did you bring?" Xiang Zhuang asked with big eyes wide open.
Liu Fan hurriedly said: "It was King Han Xin of Qi who sent a villain to take five thousand men to circle the west and camp in the north of Pengcheng."
"Far!" Xiang Zhuang cursed, "Why are you 5,000 troops? Why are you 5,000 troops camped? "
"This... this villain doesn't know that it was the villain who ordered the villain to do this." Liu Feng looked innocent.
Waste! Xiang Zhuang scanned Liu with contempt and said coldly: "Come here, escort this person and then deal with it after you arrive in Pengcheng."
Several soldiers rushed up and tied Liu Fan into rice dumplings. Liu Fan did not forget to turn around and flatter him: "General Shenwu, a word of the word, can't forget the promise of sacrificing villain's life."
Xiang Zhuang was too lazy to pay attention to him, raised his sword and whispered: "Those who are willing to surrender in the Han army will be spared from death, and those who are stubborn in resistance will be killed without any hesitation!"
"We are willing to surrender!" Seeing that the Han army had all been captured, and it seemed that they were mostly surrendering. Who could still be so lonely that they could make the rafters of their heads? So they knelt down on the ground and shouted in unison.

"Old King, the last general has already captured the Han village. There are only more than 5,000 Han troops here, and the general who is the leader has been captured." Xiang Zhuang returned to the Overlord Palace to report the results of the battle, his face full of excitement.
Xiang Yu's face was extremely serious, and he said unwillingly: "I didn't expect it to be too late."
"It's too late?" The monk Xiang Zhuang Er was confused. What did the Overlord mean?
"Ji Bu and Zhonglimei sent people to report urgently, saying that Han Xin had sent people to attack Pei County and Xia Pi. Seeing that it was impossible for them to seize it, they were approaching Pengcheng so that Han Xin would not be defeated by each of them." Fan Zeng explained for Xiang Yu.
"What, so, Han Xin sent these 5,000 people to make a big circle, and the purpose was to lure the tiger away from the mountain?" Xiang Zhuang realized it and sighed without realizing it.
"Report," a soldier came in and knelt down and said, "Report to the Overlord, Ji and Zhongli, the two generals, have returned and are waiting outside the palace."
"Hurry up and announce that the two of them come in." Xiang Yu said hurriedly.
Ji Bu and Zhonglimei walked in with a look of depression. When they saw Xiang Yu, they bowed their heads and bowed.
"Two generals ask for a rise," Xiang Yu said, "Now Han Xin has taken Pei County and Xia Pi. In less than three days, he will definitely advance to Pengcheng. I wonder what good strategies do you have to defeat the enemy."
Fan Zeng walked a few steps, then looked carefully at the hanging map, frowned, and said, "Han Xin occupied two places, making it difficult for our army to determine the direction of its main attack. The old minister thought that our army should not take the initiative and should wait patiently for Han Xin to lead the army to come. The two generals can ambush troops on both sides of the north side of the city. When the overlord fights Han Xin, he can fight from both sides, and the Han army will be defeated."
"Ya's father's words are the same as those of Gu. Ji Bu and Zhonglimei, you two should stop working hard and lead your troops to ambush forty miles from both sides of the city tomorrow. When you see the wolf smoke on the top of my city ignited, you will immediately lead your army to rush over. Han Xin was caught off guard. Our army can defeat him in one battle." Xiang Yu pondered for a moment and ordered.
"The last general will receive the order." Ji, Zhongli and the others hurriedly received the military order.

The scout finally heard the news that Han Xin's army was heading to Pengcheng. Xiang Yu personally brought 30,000 elite troops out of the city to fight, while Ya's father Fan Zeng sat high on the city tower and coordinated the battle.
The thick sound of horse hooves came faintly, and dust was flying in the distance. It seemed that they were all cavalry, and there were as much as 50,000.
About a thousand steps away from the Chu formation, the Han army stopped and advanced. In the center of the Han formation, a red flag was flying in the wind. Xiang Yu looked closely and saw that the flag had a big "Han" embroidered with the flag. It turned out that Han Xin came in person.
After the Han formation was assembled, a yellow horse flew out of the formation. It was King Han Xin of Qi. After he rode a hundred steps, he stopped the war horse and shouted at the Chu formation opposite: "Please answer the overlord."
Xiang Yu naturally would not show weakness. As soon as he urged the black horse under his seat, he left the formation and came to the formation and shouted: "Han Xin, I dared to take my Pengcheng in the previous episode, and now I am here to challenge again. Don't you really take Xiang Shang's head seriously?"
"Haha, the domineering is so serious. Han's head is not worth a fortune, but he really respects Han because he is so worried about him." Han Xin did not hide his words and replied with a laugh.
"Then you ask me to come, what else do you have to say?" Xiang Yu asked in a deep voice.
Han Xin paused and said with a smile: "Today's raging force is because the overlord and the King of Han is fighting against each other. If the overlord can truly take great justice first and take the people of the world as their thoughts, you can get off the horse quickly and submit to the King of Han, then the world will be stable, which is what the people want."
Damn! Why don’t you take righteousness first and the people of the world as your thoughts to surrender to me? Xiang Yu shouted loudly: “Han Xin, you have been betrayed Han Xin, and you have been so powerful that you will face an unexpected disaster. You are still talking about it here. Wouldn’t you make the world laugh?”
"How could Han Xin not know that good and bad luck are related? However, the people in the world are hungry, how could Han Xin bear to be as hard-hearted as a king and ignore the people?" Han Xin pointed at the verge of the wind, and while praising himself, he did not forget to belittle Xiang Yu.
"You are there hypocritical, the two armies are fighting each other, and you can tell me the truth. Han Xin, how dare you fight with Gu?" Xiang Yu was not interested in the war of verbal attacks against each other, and shouted with a finger.
Han Xin has good command ability, but his martial arts are average, so it is even more impossible to fight against the overlord Xiang Yu. Han Xin smiled and said, "Why not make a big scene if you fight?"
When Xiang Yu heard this, he sternly said: "Chu Jun, kill!"
When the Chu army received the order, the tide rushed towards the Han army formation. When Han Xin saw the Chu army coming in a fierce manner, he waved the order flag and shouted: "Come on!"
The cavalry on both sides rushed towards the other side like crazy, like two huge tides, which soon gathered together, transformed into a gurgling blood flow, and merged into the dark land under their feet. (To be continued)
