It's true, Lu Zhe really led the army to appear in Huizhang County, and the information that came before was not wrong, the area north of Zhang County was lost, and the most hateful thing was that Lu Zhe was actually plundering the population and wealth!

Xiang Liang has now reacted, and Lu Zhe clearly landed in Danyang by boat from the Yangtze River, and then swept the area north of Zhangxian.

It turns out that the war can still be fought like that, as long as there are enough ships to carry out a large-scale landing attack? Xiang Liang's heart became wow cool, Huizhang County and Huiji County are both in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, doesn't it mean that the probability of water battles will increase greatly in the future, and they are not at a disadvantage when they are downstream?

Water wars, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there has been basically no fighting, people have not regarded the Yangtze River as a natural danger, but they just think that it is very convenient to have such a river and so many tributaries of the water system to transport things, and no one has gone to arrange warships on the Yangtze River in the past wars, because the Yangtze River is too long. Under today's productivity, the number of warships is small, and the Yangtze River, which stretches for thousands of miles, really makes people want to defend against it and don't know where to defend it, so there has never been a decent water war.

In fact, the Qin State used the Yangtze River to capture Nanjun and Qianzhong County to use the Yangtze River to build a large number of ships in Bashu, and then quickly occupied the two counties of Chu down the river.

It stands to reason that the Chu State has already suffered a loss, although the Xiang family is a second-rate nobleman of the original Chu State, how should they know that period of history, Huan Chu guards against Lu Zhe and everyone knows that obstacles such as iron cables and nets are pulled up in the Yangtze River and other water systems, how could the Xiang family not know? But Xiang Liang really didn't expect Lu Zhe to transport troops from the Yangtze River to attack, which is really ......

After nearly ten days, the first time to get Lu Zhe to join Huizhang County was three days ago, considering the delay in news transmission, Xiang Liang thought that the time for Lu Zhe to enter Huizhang County should be four to five days ago.

The troops of Huizhang County were either transferred to Surabaya County or transferred to fight Lujiang County, Xiang Liang could imagine what Huizhang would look like under the ravages of Lu Zhe without many troops. And the most worrying thing is whether Lu Zhe has already marched to She County, where there are only 5,000 garrisons arranged in the rear. Not only did most of the food run out of Shexian County, but the back road of the 200,000 troops who entered Lujiang County would also be cut off!

Often the more afraid you are, the more you come, Shexian was really captured by Lu Zhe, and the 200,000 stone grain there became someone else's spoils. 200,000 stones! That was the grain that Xiang had worked hard to collect and scrape for half a year, accounting for three-tenths of Xiang's total grain, and Xiang Liang, who heard the news, was stuffy in his chest and breathed a little unsmooth.

"Uncle! There are only less than 70,000 enemy troops, and 50,000 troops, including 8,000 children, are given to Yu'er, and the nephew will recapture them! "Item...... Well, the young Xiang Yu shouted for battle.

I had to call for war, and I heard that Huizhang County was attacked. Xiang Liang has held meetings more than once to discuss the withdrawal of troops, but Huan Chu's military camp has been attacking for so long, even if there are 50,000 reinforcements sent by Lu Zhe, the troops in Huan Chu's camp are only 80,000 at most in the continuous attrition, and they still have nearly 120,000 people.

The camp established by Huan Chu has basically rotted in continuous battles, and there is no longer the defensive power that the camp should have, and there are constant commotions in the Huan Chu army, which is obviously internal instability.

Several mutinies allowed Xiang Liang to seize the opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Huan Chu army, and on one occasion Xiang Liang also fought with the generals who betrayed Huan Chu. Only then did he pull back the battle loss ratio that was originally opened, otherwise Xiang Liang lost 60,000 in the continuous attack, and Huan Chu only suffered more than 40,000 casualties.

Now the battle loss ratio between the two sides is that Xiang Liang is almost 80,000 gone, of which 20,000 are lost in Xiang Yu's hands; Huan Chu originally only had 30,000 people left, and later received 50,000 reinforcements from Lu Zhe.

Ji Bu fought with Xiang Yu. The 50,000 Nanjun reinforcements were only the Chinese army was disrupted, but the two wings were absolutely superior, and the 50,000 reinforcements were killed and wounded only more than 4,000 people.

"Xiang Ji listened to what the uncles said!" Xiang Liang was still a little annoyed. This nephew of his is very brave, but he can't read the slightest military book. As a result, how can the leader of the army fight his own desire to be happy and only care about killing and killing, and the army has no command to be slaughtered by others. In less than half an hour, a loss is a loss of 20,000 people.

"Uncle, nephew, ......" Xiang Yu was glared at by Xiang Liang's eyes, and no matter how much he said, he had to swallow it back.

Huan Chu no longer has a terrain advantage, the original Lujiang army has been constantly fighting, and there are constantly mutinies and betrayals, so it can be said that Huan Chu's own forces are basically useless.

Ji Bu led the army to help, the strength was less than 50,000 after the First World War, and Xiang Liang could see that there should be only 20,000 people in the reinforcements, and the remaining 30,000 should be auxiliary soldiers?

Huan Chu's troops were abolished, and Lu Zhe's reinforcements were only 20,000 to fight, which was why Xiang Liang hesitated whether to withdraw his troops.

"I have sent someone to notify the troops of Surabaya County to return to Huizhang County, and Huiji County has also notified the immediate large-scale conscription." Xiang Liang must quickly recover his troops, and at the same time, he is also planning the retreat of the army.

Huizhang County can't go, but don't look at where they are? Not only can this side retreat from this direction of Huizhang County, but there is no need to make a detour to retreat directly into Huiji County.

Withdrawal is not a shout of "withdraw", especially if there is an enemy force behind you. Whether Xiang Liang wants to retreat or not, he must gather the forces in the rear, and it is best to drive within thirty miles of Lu Zhe's main army, and then this army in Lujiang County can move, and it is the most unwise to retreat regardless of it before that.

"It will take ten days for the troops of Surabaya County to reach Huizhang County to regain the lost territory," Xiang Liang was slightly tired, "The vanguard of Huiji County will be able to approach the battlefield in three days. ”

The intelligence is unequal again, the reinforcements from Surabaya County must pass through Jiujiang County if they want to come to Huizhang County, and Xiang Liang does not know that Jiujiang County has 10,000 troops including Su Lie left by Lu Zhe who are cooperating with Shu to build a defensive line. To put it simply, if the Chu state's "cunzài force" in Surabaya County wants to become a useful force, it must at least first break through the blocking line set up by Lü Zhe in Jiujiang County.

"Xiang Gong, it is not a problem to recruit 100,000 soldiers in Huiji counties within half a month, it's just ...... Weapons? "It was a man of nearly fifty years of age, who was wearing not a war robe but a scribe's robe, and his name was Gongao.

That's right, it's Gongao, he is Gongwei's father, but he is in the Chu State, and he is currently the Xianyin of the Chu State, that is, the official in charge of counseling.

Didn't Xiang Liang know that Gongao's son Gongwei was on Lu Zhe's side? No! Xiang Liang naturally knew that Gongwei was Lu Zhe's subordinate, but he also attached importance to Gongao precisely because Gongwei was Lu Zhe's right-hand man.

Weapons? Now, apart from the Qin army, which army is not short of weapons? Oh! Maybe Lu Zhe is not so lacking in weapons, because Nanjun was originally a big county of Jin, and I heard that Lu Zhe has built more than 20 new Yuecheng in just half a year, and even has spare strength to support Huan Chu and a guy named Wu Rui.

"Zhao has some support, and the reinforcements from Surabaya County have returned, and only the soldiers recruited by Ji County will have weapons." In fact, there are many workshops for treating gold under Xiang Liang's rule, but it is a pity that the time for raising troops is still short and has not been integrated, and the state of Chu is a clan social system, and Xiang Liang has not been able to fully utilize it.

The Long family of Huiji, that is, the family of Long Ji, they are a big family that governs gold, and they have mastered relatively advanced iron-making technology, and the iron armor on more than 2,000 of the 8,000 soldiers and the iron weapons in their hands are from the Long family.

Gong Ao said "oh" and stopped talking. He is actually Xiongxin's line, and has the same concept as Song Yi, Ding Gong and others, but he also feels that although Xiang is arrogant and domineering, he is a Chu minister, and Xiang Liang should not be in danger when he goes out to recover the counties for the glory of Chu, so Xiang Liang will go out with the army as soon as he is summoned.

The lieutenant is in Lu Zhe's army, and it seems that he is still one of the three commanders? These were also known only four months ago. This time Xiang Liang invited him to go on the expedition together, and he also understood Xiang Liang's intentions, to be honest, if he had the opportunity, he would really let his son Gongwei return to Chu, but he had never been able to contact Gongwei.

"So...... While continuing to attack the camp, Lu Zhe, who transferred troops to guard against the rear, was this decision considered a pass? Xiang Liang glanced at Gong Ao deeply, and out of the corner of his eye, he found that the corner of Chen Ping's mouth was pulling at the corner of his mouth.

Chen Ping was subconsciously sneering, the army that entered Lujiang County lost nearly half, and there were enemy troops eyeing Xiang Liang on the back road, so he didn't decisively come up with a resolution in this situation, and he still hesitated to say that he still wanted to eat Huan Chu greedily? He felt that Xiang Liang was too greedy and insufficient, since he had crippled Huan Chu, there was a threat on the back road, and he should leave Huan Chu, who was not a threat, to return to the army and attack and defend with Lu Zhe.

"Chen Ping!" Xiang Liang's tone was very majestic, "Do you have something to say?" ”

Chen Ping's heart trembled, and Chu Guo ...... Oh, this Chu army is the private army of the Xiang family, and the court of the Chu State is also the Yiyan Hall of the Xiang family, and no one in the Chu State is afraid of the Xiang family. Now Xiang Liang is questioning with an obviously displeased attitude, where does he not know that his subconscious actions just now provoked Xiang Liang?

"The lord is wise, the villain just thinks that the Lu thief is bold and reckless to go deep into our hinterland, and he is about to become the turtle in the urn of the lord and is happy for the lord." Chen Ping replied cautiously.

Xiang Liang was stunned, "Yes?" If Huan Chu still has the ability to fight back, then our army will be attacked from both sides. But Huan Chu has been abolished, and there are only 50,000 troops sent by Lu Zhe here, so there is no big threat to the west. He thought quickly in his heart, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, "The grain and grass in the army can also be eaten for three months,", being reminded like this, it seems that it really looks like that, "Then waiting for the reinforcements of Surabaya County and Huiji County to come, isn't Lu Zhe really a turtle in the urn?" (To be continued......)
