Chapter Four

"Haha, overlord, you have become a turtle in the fish jar in the cauldron of our army. You will tie it up before you even get off the horse. When will you wait?" A man came out of the Han army formation. It was Han Xin who was driven away in Qi.

"Hmph, what's the courage to be the defeated general?" Xiang Yu glared at each other and shouted.

Han Xin smiled disapprovingly and shook his head and said, "The Overlord's words are bad. It is often said that victory and defeat are common affairs of military affairs. In the past, Chu people were defeated by Qin and Jin, but King Zhuang successfully fought, drank horses and rivers, and won the Central Plains, and dominated the world. How could he judge the short and short term when winning or losing? The Overlord drove Han Xin to Qi, but now he was trapped by Han Xin in Shoushan, and the laws of heaven were circulated."

"How can I trap the lonely king in Shoushan?" Xiang Yu sneered.

"If the overlord doesn't believe it, can you lead the army down the mountain to try it?" Han Xin's face showed a proud smile, and a proud look of success and fame was beyond words.

Although Xiang Yu was fighting with Han Xin, he had already quickly calculated it in his mind and was ambushed. First of all, you should not panic, you should not make mistakes again and again, otherwise it would only get worse and worse. Han Xin carefully designed this trap, so he would naturally not let himself escape easily. If he forced down the mountain, it would only be too much loss. Now the first task is to understand the surrounding situation and the current situation, and then make plans.

This time, only 10,000 light cavalry were brought to rescue Shouchun. The tens of thousands of infantry behind had not had time to keep up. It seemed that there were as many as 100,000 Han troops in the mountains. Although they were in a high position and were unstoppable, once the Han army cut off the water source, his own tens of thousands of cavalry would be in chaos without fighting. Ma Su and Ma You, in the Three Kingdoms, stationed troops on the mountain when they were in Jieting, but were surrounded by Sima Yi and cut off the waterway. As a result, they lost Jieting, which ended Zhuge Liang's first northern expedition.

"Go up the mountain." Xiang Yu weighed the enemy and our troops and said coldly.

The Chu army was not down and turned against him, but it was beyond Han Xin's expectations. He originally thought that with Xiang Yu's temper, he would definitely break through when he was ambushed, so he also made a lot of preparations to prevent Xiang Yu from leading his army to fight to the death. But Xiang Yu actually let the army go up the mountain quietly. Could it be that the overlord's temperament has really changed?

However, it was not important for the Chu army to go up the mountain. Han Xin had just ordered people to cut off the water source. If the Chu army is not out for three days, there will be chaos. At this moment, the one to beware of should be Xiang Fei in Shouchun City. When he learned that Xiang Yu was surrounded, he would lead his army to rescue him no matter what. This is a difficult enemy. Xiang Yu has become a tiger in a cage, and it is not worth worrying. He just needs to set up more obstacles and traps in the mountain road. The Chu army's war horses and people can't pass, so he becomes a bird that has lost its wings and cannot fly far if he wants to.

"What?" Xiang Yu had just got off the war horse, and before he could breathe, he heard the most worried thing, "The water source was cut off by the Han army?"

"That's right, the last general went to look for water, but unexpectedly it had become a little bit, and the waterway had been blocked by the Han army. I hope the overlord would make a decision early and break through the encirclement." A deputy general said in shock.

"Old King," ordered a deputy general to come back, and bowed to his knees, "The big thing is not good. There are only two passages in the north and south of this mountain, and the rest are cliffs and there is no way to go. Now that the two paths are guarded by the Han army, it is unlikely that they will escape. I hope the Overlord will ask for help from the General at the moment."

"Please help? Let's shout here, and I'll hear it in Shouchun City?" Ji Bu was also in a fire.

"Just ignite the beacon fire on the mountain, when the general sees it, he will definitely know that the overlord is in danger and will inevitably lead the army to rescue him." The deputy general said hurriedly.

"Don't worry first, then think about the countermeasures." Xiang Yu frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Overlord, our light cavalry did not bring dry food. It was so critical that the soldiers would be in chaos due to hunger and would be out of control at that time." Ji Bu said another thing that was burning.

Being surrounded by deserted mountains, waterways were cut off, food and grass were insufficient, and reinforcements were misty. Xiang Yu felt anxious. He had never encountered such a dangerous situation before. Should God destroy him or give him a hardship? If it is a hardship, give him some tips. If there is no way out, the morale of the army will be in chaos. What should we do?

"Old King, I will send someone to find these green vines. There is some juice in the green vines. Please use them first." Ji Bu didn't know where he got these things, so he didn't want to eat them, so he presented them to Xiang Yu first.

Xiang Yu shook his head and sighed slightly. He didn't expect that he would feed on this one day. It would be really difficult to start a business. I wonder how long it would take to eat this thing. How much juice can a large pile of green vines squeeze out? How much can it be used for ten thousand people to eat?

"Battle King, please eat something. If you are hungry, who will take us to the mountain?" Zhang Huo's eyes quickly gathered in his eyes. Such a tough man would even shed tears. Xiang Yu felt sad when he saw it. I thought that when Guan Yu was in Maicheng, his mood should be similar to that of him now.

Xiang Yu took the green vine and pulled it hard, but it couldn't be broken. He couldn't help but look at Ji Bu in confusion.

"This green vine is tough and will be cut down with a knife." Ji Bu explained a little embarrassedly.

Tough, Qing Teng, these words quickly circulated in Xiang Yu's mind.

There is! Deng Shizai in the Three Kingdoms smuggled through Yinping, and Spartac in Italy "flying" from the cliffs on the top of Mount Vesuvius, appeared unexpectedly in front of the enemy, caught the enemy off guard, and thus achieved a great victory. This green vine may be the best tool to help him break through.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yu stood up suddenly and asked anxiously: "Ji Bu, where did you get this vine?"

"Just behind the mountain, there are densely packed lands everywhere, and many soldiers went to chop and fill their hunger." Ji Bu replied in confusion.

"Hurry, let the soldiers gather the cut green vines on the top of the mountain and do not eat them. Go quickly." Xiang Yu shouted loudly.

This is the only way to break through. You can't let the horse eat all these life-saving green vines.

Monk Ji Buzhang Er was confused. Does the Overlord want to eat these green vines alone? Not so, why did you let everyone cut them but not let everyone eat them? But he didn't dare to ask, because Xiang Yu's scorching eyes made him scared, and at the same time he felt a glimmer of hope.

"No!" Ji Bu responded quickly and immediately ran to the back of the mountain.

"Zhang Huo, Xiang Sheng, you two immediately organize soldiers to tie the cut green vines into knots. Pay attention, you must be dead. Each green vine must be able to reach the bottom of the mountain, and then tie the green vine to a rock or an old tree. There must be no mistakes." Xiang Yu turned his head and said to his two guards.

"The overlord wants to use the green vines as a ladder to send the army down the mountain?" Xiang Sheng immediately understood Xiang Yu's intention and asked in surprise.

"Yes," Xiang Yu said happily, "This is the only way out for our army. As long as our army goes down the mountain, we can kill Han Xin and be caught off guard and turn defeat into victory."

"No!" Seeing the dawn of hope, Zhang Huo Xiang Shengjun was excited and became happy. He immediately went to find someone to work hard to wove the green vines.

Xiang Yu also walked to the back of the mountain and came to the edge of the cliff. This was an unattainable cliff wall. Not to mention humans, even the agile apes were difficult to reach. No wonder Han Xin was careless and did not send an army to station here. It was a blessing that he had found a way out of death. Although it was not certain, there was a glimmer of hope and had to persevere. Perhaps, the great sorrow and joy of life were transformed so quickly.
