Chapter 595 Pincer Attack

In the camp, boiling water was boiling in a copper cauldron. Zhao Shuang heard the news from afar, took a piece of meat from the side and put it into the copper cauldron.

Li Xin sat aside, his face as sinking as water, but his heart was still uneasy.

Qin's 200,000 troops in various camps in Guanzhong are now preserved and will not be completely wiped out. But he couldn't rest assured until the Chu army completely retreated.

"After Meng Tian pretended to be defeated, the Chu cavalry went deep. Our army counterattacked, killing hundreds of cavalry and capturing dozens of horses. At this time, the remaining troops retreated eastward, probably to Pengcheng."

Meng Tian lured the enemy deeper, cooperated with the ambush army, and intercepted the Chu army's return route. To the Qin army, these dozens of war horses were nothing. Even hundreds of cavalry losses in battle are not unacceptable. But for the Chu army, hundreds of elite cavalry were quite valuable.

As far as the Qin army is concerned, the cavalry army can be continuously replenished. But for the Chu army at this time, losing one person meant losing them forever. At this time, the Chu army had no time to retrain the cavalry, nor could it replenish war horses that were comparable to the Qin army's horses.

However, in terms of the overall strategy, the 200,000 Chu army's most elite mobile cavalry were cut off by the Qin army, and they had to go east to Pengcheng to escape.

This changed the entire battle situation.

The meat gradually changes color in the boiling water, and the aroma overflows. Zhao Shuang picked up some wild vegetables and put them in.

"Isn't there any news from Chen Di?"

Li Xin nodded, thinking of the movement over there, he felt a bad feeling in his heart.

"Sanchuan's soldiers and horses have now moved south. In a day or two, the army will arrive and surround Chendi. I don't know what the traitor Xiong Qi is planning?"

Chencheng was the old capital of the Chu Kingdom and was vast in depth. Wang Ben's 30,000 tiger troops alone could not complete the encirclement. But if Sanchuan's troops and horses were added to it, the situation would be different.

The strangest thing was that Mr. Changping was silent.

"If two more days pass, the Chu army will not be able to retreat. But this is often the most dangerous time."

Li Xin nodded. Of course he understood the danger involved. It's just that the Chu army didn't move, so the Qin army naturally didn't need to move.

The current state of the Qin army is not good. If the Chu army retreats due to difficulties, the Qin army can rest and recover its combat power and morale.

But if the Chu army felt that it had a great advantage and had to fight a decisive battle, the Qin army could only deal with it. But the outcome is hard to say.

After all, the current Chu army is stronger than the Qin army in terms of morale and material supply. It really has an advantage.

"Han Yangjun, the Yulin army is now deep into the capital of King Chu. If Changping Lord's army and the Chu army all go south, they may attack these ten thousand troops at any time."

Li Xin is a little worried now. This ten thousand troops broke in alone and changed the situation of the entire battlefield. But if the Chu army returns to defense, these ten thousand troops will also be in trouble.

Zhao Shuang smiled and didn't seem to care.

"With the miscellaneous soldiers under Lord Changping now, there is no need to worry too much. As for Xiang Yan..."

Green vegetable leaves were fluttering in the cauldron, and Zhao Shuang took some salt from his bag and added it. The white mist was steaming, and the aroma of meat overflowed. Before Zhao Shuang had finished speaking, an urgent message came to his ears.

"The Chu army is dispatched."

Li Xin stood up suddenly and took a deep breath.

"What is supposed to come has come."

Li Xin was about to pull out the spear stuck in the soil beside him and prepare to fight the enemy. But at this moment, another military report came to my ears.

"The rebels in Chendi attacked our rear camp and our army was in chaos."

"What!" Li Xin's expression changed and he asked, "Why didn't Chen Di send any warning beforehand?"

However, Li Xin's question was obviously not something that the person who reported the message could answer.

"A two-sided attack?"

Li Xin looked back and saw Zhao Shuang beside him, saying something leisurely.

"It seems that the two of them had no contact beforehand, but they were able to take action at the same time. They are really in sync with each other!"

To complete a joint attack of this scale, there must be corresponding contacts, discussions and arrangements in advance. But given the current situation, Lord Changping and Xiang Yan do not have the time to discuss this arrangement. If the two armies really coordinate, it would be impossible to keep it a secret.

There is only one possibility. The two of them made corresponding arrangements based entirely on their military intuition, betting that even the other party could figure it out. However, their actions were a stroke of God. Without discussion, they were able to take things by surprise, and the effect was enough to pose a huge threat to the Qin army at this time.

Li Xin didn't understand why Zhao Shuang could still be so relaxed at this time.

"Hanyang Jun, what should we do now?"

"The Chu people are determined to strike to the death, but they are not blind. This move can achieve great success. The morale of our army is low, and we may not be able to resist this surprise attack. General, gather the flying army immediately, and must not be tired of dealing with it."

Looking at Li Xin's back as he went to mobilize troops, Zhao Shuang smiled softly.

"I didn't expect Lord Changping to be so courageous."

The night fire shot into the sky, and the heat wave hit my face.

Duke Nan of Chu looked at the battlefield ahead. Even he did not expect that the Chu army could complete such a counterattack now that the Qin army had restored the situation.

Wei Liao and Han Xin stood beside him and said nothing. They did not have the strong feelings that Chu Nan Gong showed at this time.

Han Xin looked at Wei Liao and asked.

"Teacher, I don't understand. When did Lord Changping and the general of Chu devise this strategy?"

Wei Liao held Han Xin's hand and looked at the battlefield in the distance, feeling a little surprised.

"They have not discussed it. It's just that they understand that if they don't seize this opportunity, the Chu army will be defeated. They will put it to death and survive. Only a decisive blow can save the situation."

Duke Nan of Chu was standing by and said with a smile.

"Lin Luhou is a genius in the world. But such people often place their hopes on themselves instead of leaving life and death in the hands of others. In the end, he lost this round."

Wei Liao remained silent for a long time and looked around, seeming to make an unexpected discovery.

"It seems like we're not the only ones observing this war around here?"

"Winning or losing this battle will determine the direction of the world. Are we the only people in Chu who care?"

Chu Nan Gong was standing by and said with a smile.

Linzi.

The night wind blew with a chill.

"Has the winner been decided in the war between Qin and Chu?"

Qi Wangjian asked while teasing the bird in the golden cage.

"It should be within the next two days."

"Changping Lord rebelled against Qin, and Lin Luhou attacked Ying. This game of chess is getting more and more interesting."

"Your Majesty, if our army helps the Chu State, we may have a chance of victory."

Qi Wangjian shook his head.

"Chu used deceptive force to win this round, but there will be another round. Qin will send another 200,000 troops without the 200,000 troops. Next time, the Chu army can still stop it. What?"

"this……"

"Lin Luhou has been in the world for nearly twenty years. He has been rampant and unscrupulous, defeating Qin, conquering Zhao and destroying Yan, driving out the Xiongnu, and fighting against the Yuezhi. No one in the world can compete with him. This time, who will win?"

"What do you wish, Your Majesty?"

"No matter what, this is a good opportunity. I, son of the Tian family, will definitely benefit from taking a good look at this battle."

"Tian Dan and Tian Rong are all gone."

"That's good!"

The lights in the palace were dim, King Jian of Qi said something, and the Prime Minister Hou Sheng behind him bowed and retreated.
