Chapter 0590 - Stalemate

After holding on for more than ten days, watching the sky gradually turn cooler and the wind howling at night, everyone understands that it is time to turn the next day.

In the camp of the Yuan army, Jebe was mentally exhausted, a little sloppy, and his majesty was still the same, the pressure on him these days can be imagined, he glanced at the generals in front of him, and said: "After these more than ten days of confrontation, I think everyone has a deep understanding of the Han people on the opposite side, starting from tomorrow, a full-scale battle, day and night, until they are defeated, kill !! ”

"Kill !!"

The generals of the Yuan army were in good spirits, and this moment finally came, and they had been waiting for a long time.

"General, the Yuan army is retreating!!" The movements of the Yuan army were soon reported back to Xi Juan by the scouts.

Xi Juan was a little puzzled: "What is Yuan Jun planning to do?" "Her eyes were bright, she frowned slightly, and thought, 'It seems that the Yuan army is planning to withdraw? No, it's supposed to be an all-out attack! Finally can't take it anymore? It's a pity that God doesn't give me much time, since you took the initiative to come, then don't let me be passive! ’

Jebe didn't hold back first, which also made Xi Juan breathe a sigh of relief, how little of her pressure was? Liu Bang's envoy came again, this time urging more urgently, and Liu Bang was very dissatisfied with the last time she was mobilizing troops, and launched a full-scale war, if she hadn't insisted here, it would have been impossible to say that the Han envoy had gone to the Yuan army camp to sue for peace.

At this time, winter is approaching, and the battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu is also the most intense, once it snows, then the war cannot continue, and Liu Bang does not want to drag it out until next year.

Therefore, the dispatch of soldiers and horses from all over the country is frequent, but Xiang Yu is not so easy to deal with, even if Xiang Yu is obviously inferior in terms of numbers, but he is still the overlord who has won many battles with few enemies. Liu Bang's army could not form an arrangement for a while.

The four sides are the most obvious places for Liu Bang to mobilize troops, Xi Juan's pressure can be imagined, if he doesn't make a move after waiting for two days, Xi Juan will have to make a move, she is a little glad that she blocked the news, and when Jebe had no intelligence, he took the initiative to attack, and he inevitably fell behind.

Now, it's up to Xi Juan to use this opportunity.

The Yuan army retreated for more than 100 kilometers before stopping, and Xi Juan also began to arrange when the Yuan army retreated. The armies that had been gathered began to disperse, the battle lines were lengthened, encamped, and layered, and the camps were at angles to each other. It seems to be a passive defense, but it is actually the most suitable tactic for the Han army.

With this head start. The Han army did not have to reluctantly attack the cavalry on the steppe with foot soldiers. Although there is no defensive equipment on the grassland, the simple horse trap does not cost money, and with the addition of antlers, there is more or less some defense. It can make a difference.

On the third day, the Yuan army appeared, and after establishing the central main account, the Yuan army was dispatched in large numbers. Scattered, surging from all directions, they took advantage of their cavalry superiority, came up on the grassland without a trace, without a trace, without stopping, as if there was no boundless side, and the first day of engagement pulled the war to the highest point.

One day, two days, the Yuan army attacked all the time, day and night, torches were lit everywhere, and the whole earth was brightly lit, and the footsteps of the Yuan army did not stop for a moment, they were still constantly impacting, attacking, seeking a breakthrough, and then gathered from all directions to rush up, breaking down the Han army's defense line.

The generals of the Han army are a little discolored, too fierce, they only realized at this time the difference between the Yuan army and the ordinary army, and also realized that the small nation that can crisscross the Central Plains and dominate the Central Plains is not a joke.

"Hundreds of encounters in three days, it's good that we're on the defensive, not offensive, otherwise it would have been a nightmare!!" Li Guang couldn't help sighing, the fierce offensive for three consecutive days, the Yuan army replaced each other, and it didn't stop at all, but the Han army didn't treat it so well, everyone's spirit was extraordinarily hit, and everyone was tired.

"The general has an order, abandon the outer line and evacuate to the second line of defense!!!" In the distance, dozens of elite horsemen galloped towards him, and Li Guang shouted: "The Yuan army is coming, prepare to defend!! ”

Dozens of elite horsemen did not stop, quickly interspersed with the outside of the camp, but in a few minutes, hundreds of Yuan troops were like vultures smelling rotting flesh, fiercely pounced, and the war was about to break out.

"Has everyone evacuated safely?" Xi Juan looked at the sand table, which was densely packed with chess pieces, among which the Han army and the Yuan army were staggered, and it could be clearly seen from the sand table that the Han army had formed a dense and criss-crossing defensive network.

The ferocious offensive of the Yuan army did not surprise Xi Juan, spilling troops, constantly retreating in the continuous strong attacks of the Yuan army, changing and resting, so that the pressure brought by the Yuan army's non-stop offensive day and night was also reduced to the bottom, so that Jebe's plan was half in vain.

But Xi Juan knew that if it went on for such a long time, the Han army would still lose the upper hand, and the advantage would sooner or later catch up under the fierce offensive of the Yuan army.

"We don't have much time, send an order to Li Guang, Cheng doesn't know, Tao Hong ......!! From tomorrow, defend and counterattack!! "It's not enough to just be beaten, it's only by defending and attacking is that you can attack and stop.

When the Han army withdrew to the second line of defense, the camp tents were more dense, and they could already be seen from afar, separated by only two kilometers.

At this time, Li Guang and others also began to act, they carried not many cavalry, more than a thousand people, but they couldn't stand being surrounded by their own companions, taking care of each other, but passing news to each other, once they encountered a large force of the Yuan army, they immediately fled into the camp, guarded by the camp, and almost expelled the Yuan army for a while, and the Yuan army fell behind again.

The situation on the battlefield is changing, and the reaction of the Yuan army is not slow, and it immediately changed slightly, and the Yuan army, which was originally attacking after finding a flaw, immediately included the outermost Han army into the attack circle, and sent foot soldiers and cannon fodder, as well as a small number of cattle and horses, to give the Han army a hard blow.

"Damn ......!!!!" The casualties on both sides have become more and more aggravated with the passage of time, and between you and me, there are conspiracy and conspiracy, force or skill, everywhere, nowhere to be found.

Xi Juan slapped the table with some annoyance and scolded: "Go down, I know what to do, I don't need you to be presumptuous here!" ”

"General, Er is the minister of the Son of Heaven, I am also the minister of the Son of Heaven, why bother, as long as the general is willing to transfer troops, I am willing to be punished, please think twice!!" The minister in court clothes said with some trepidation, he was completely shameless this time, and if he didn't complete the task, Liu Bang would cut off his head. (To be continued......)
