Chapter 115 No retreat

The troops that Xiang Yu had previously divided to attack from the south bridge did not have the same record as the one led by Xiang Yu himself. Xiang Yu single-handedly killed several fierce generals under Beigong Boyu, and also covered up and killed many enemies along the way.

, and the group that divided its troops to attack from the bridge on the south encountered a fierce resistance from the rebels on the bridge.

The Qiang people were quite cunning and deliberately allowed the troops to partially pass through the bridge over the river. Then, when they reached the open space on the other side of the bridge, they found the right opportunity to shoot countless arrows from all directions. The generals leading the army on Xiang Yu's side were

He was too careless and not very lucky. He was hit by an arrow during the first round of crossbow firing. Then the entire army fell into chaos and was killed by enemies who rushed out from the surrounding ambush.

, the casualties were very heavy.

Because the bridge on the river behind is relatively narrow, it can only allow a part of the troops to pass through at the same time. Regardless of whether they are moving forward or retreating, if there are too many people, it will be very crowded. Once it is particularly crowded, a stampede is likely to occur, and the soldiers still have trouble with each other.

Wearing a variety of weapons and armor, many parts are very sharp and hard. Once the distance between them is too close, it is easy to cause accidental injuries.

The most cunning thing about the Qiang rebels was that they deliberately waited for part of Xiang Yu's troops to cross the river first. After they gathered in the open space on the river beach, once they encountered an ambush and attack, it would be difficult to cross the bridge behind them in a short time.

Go back up, because the friendly troops on the bridge behind you are still crossing the bridge in an orderly manner.

Therefore, when the soldiers in front encountered an ambush, their instinct was to retreat back. In addition, the general was killed immediately, and the panic spread all of a sudden, resulting in almost all the soldiers not being able to do so.

He thought of fighting to the death, but thought of retreating backwards. As a result, the soldiers who were still advancing in the rear and the soldiers in front who wanted to retreat clashed on the bridge.

Due to the information gap between each other, a large number of stampedes and accidental injuries occurred, which further led to the spread of panic. The final casualties could be said to be very tragic, and the appearance of the scene was also very terrifying, especially for those who were squeezed.

Many of the soldiers on the bridge were squeezed to death by the surrounding friendly forces.

After the final battle, this unit lost nearly one-third of its soldiers, that is, more than 600 people. Xiang Yu's total force was not large, and he did not expect that his side would win the battle.

The losses would be so heavy all at once.

Xiang Yu looked at the row of soldiers kneeling in front of him. The expressions on their faces really looked like they wanted to eat people. They were glaring with anger. No one dared to raise their heads to look at him. If it were him in his previous life, he would probably be the same now.

He had already taken out his whip to whip several people to death, and even used his sword to kill several generals with his own hands.

However, Xiang Yu has finally grown a lot at this time, and he actually suppressed his anger. But obviously, these angers will not disappear out of thin air. Sometimes people are speechless when they are extremely angry.

So Xiang Yu simply turned around and left, out of sight. No one of the kneeling soldiers behind him dared to get up without Xiang Yu's order.

So they knelt here for the whole night, which could be regarded as a kind of punishment from Xiang Yu. Although it was very uncomfortable, they still managed to save a small life.

Xiang Yu held his breath, and early the next morning he personally led his troops from Beiqiaotou to attack the city of Wuwei. Of course, this time the troops were no longer divided into two groups. Xiang Yu would probably encounter another division of troops in the future.

He would murmur in his heart and think more carefully about whether the allocated troops are feasible. He actually does not have many capable generals under his command now. In his opinion, these generals appointed from the Eastern Han Dynasty lack some truly necessary skills.

Leading troops training.

But Xiang Yu doesn't have that much time to personally train these generals, and many things are actually a kind of talent. Even if Xiang Yu wants to teach, not everyone can learn it or learn it well.

In the future, if you have the opportunity to meet more powerful generals, it will not be too late to pass on some of your experience and knowledge to them. After all, if an army wants to become stronger, it is not enough for Xiang Yu to be strong alone.

A large number of generals and junior officers with sufficient strength are needed to lead soldiers.

In fact, let's face it, the soldiers and generals sent by the Eastern Han Dynasty were not too bad, but maybe it was because Xiang Yu's requirements were a bit high, because everyone was far behind him compared to himself.

Yes, so if Xiang Yu really wants to be demanding of his subordinates, it is estimated that only a few of them will be able to really catch his eye.

When Xiang Yu's troops were assembled and ready to launch an attack, Beigong Boyu stood at a high point in Wuwei City in the distance and watched. The corners of his mouth were curled up, and his eyes were a little absent-minded and red and swollen, as if they had been there all night.

I didn't sleep well, maybe I had a nightmare. After all, yesterday Xiang Yu killed four of his generals in a row. Whether he went to fight Xiang Yu one by one, or five or six generals went together,

In the end, they were all easily defeated by Xiang Yu.

He saw everything clearly at the scene. The strength Xiang Yu showed, the confidence and ease he showed throughout the process made him and his generals feel a sense of despair. Although these

The combat skills of the Qiang generals seemed a bit unrefined, but the effect during the actual combat process was also very good. However, during the battle with Xiang Yu, their combat skills were simply completely destroyed.

Beigong Boyu didn't have much in-depth research on combat skills, but he could also see how huge the gap between his generals and Xiang Yu was in combat skills. Otherwise, the other party would not be able to appear so relaxed. That was obviously

This situation only occurs when the strength has completely overtaken and crushed your own side.

But what should we do now? Xiang Yu's troops are attacking again, and he no longer has the confidence to go out to fight. The vicinity of Wuwei City actually lacks tall walls for defense, although there are some areas where fortifications can be built to delay the enemy's attack.

Attack can also deploy ambushes in certain key areas. Just like on the southern battlefield, didn't we still achieve a great victory?

But the victory at the southern bridge could not give Beigong Boyu any comfort at all, because he felt that even if that excellent ambush opportunity came again, if Xiang Yu personally led the troops, the ambush on his side would probably not be possible.

It won't have much effect.

Now he can only choose not to take the initiative to fight, but to use the terrain and fortifications to defend passively. Anyway, as long as the soldiers stick to their positions, Xiang Yu will not be able to attack in a short time anyway. On the contrary, if he blindly joins the fight, if he continues

A big defeat could snowball, and Xiang Yu could break through the entire defense system in one fell swoop. In that case, he would have no chance at all.

Originally, Han Sui decided to take part of the main force to garrison Yunwu City, and left Wuwei, an extremely important place, to Beigong Boyu to defend. At that time, he was very happy in his heart and felt that he was fully capable.

He was qualified for this task, but he was originally a little dissatisfied with Han Sui, because after all, he was the one who initiated the rebellion in the first place.

When he forced Han Sui and Bian Zhang to rebel and elected them as nominal rebel leaders, he only used them as scapegoats, puppets, and shields, while he was the actual controller who could control everything behind the scenes.

But he obviously overestimated his own strength and underestimated Han Sui's strength. Unexpectedly, in a short time, Han Sui's comprehensive abilities in all aspects were gradually revealed, and he also gained most of the positions within the rebels.

People's actual recognition, if it is in name only, is of course just a puppet leader, but now Han Sui is in name and reality, while Beigong Boyu has become nameless in comparison. In this case, of course he will feel a sense of

potential crisis.

After all, when you are completely unable to control Han Sui, and at the same time, when your hard power and performance are somewhat inconsistent with your identity, then sooner or later your position will be lost, of course, even if you are very strong

, but in the end it threatens Han Sui's actual dominance, then there will inevitably be a very cruel internal competition and elimination between the two of them.

It's just that the conflict between the two of them may not have developed to that serious level now, but if it develops normally, the day will come sooner or later, so this time Beigong Boyu actually holds great hope and wants to

He took this opportunity to prove his strength by defeating Xiang Yu, but obviously the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The reality ruthlessly tore his dream into pieces. When he heard some rumors about Xiang Yu's bravery and invincibility before, he would inevitably sneer at it, thinking that it was just some incompetent people's reaction to his own incompetence and failure.

It's just an excuse. Is it really that the opponent is too strong? It's not that I am too useless, too useless!

However, this time when he saw Xiang Yu's strength in person, he finally realized how naive and stupid his previous thoughts were. It turns out that there are really such powerful people in this world who look less than twenty.

He already possesses such terrifying strength at the age of twenty. Thinking about what he will be like when he is less than twenty years old, Beigong Boyu can't help but feel so ashamed that he wants to find a crack in the ground and fall down.

Another point is that he is now hesitant to send someone to tell Han Sui the true situation here. In fact, under normal circumstances, he and Han Sui will communicate with each other every time or when a major event occurs.

But he found that Han Sui actually had a lot of important information that he had not shared with him. In fact, Bei Gong Boyu himself was not surprised at all, but when Han Sui really did this, he was still very unhappy.

comfortable.

Of course, Beigong Boyu also has a lot of important information that he has not told Han Sui, and the situation here is obviously not good. If he does not tell Han Sui the information, Han Sui will not be able to send someone.

Come to support him, but will he really send troops to support Han Sui after he tells him about the situation here?

And even if Han Sui really sends troops to support him, there will be two situations in the end. One is that Xiang Yu retreats, and Han Sui will inevitably laugh at his own incompetence, and it will further make him unable to hold his head high in front of Han Sui.

, and at the same time, the soldiers in the rebel army felt that they were inferior to Han Sui. Another situation was that Han Sui could not defeat Xiang Yu. In this way, he was actually the one who took the blame, because it not only showed how powerful Xiang Yu was.

It's powerful, but it further demonstrates your own incompetence and drags down your allies to suffer together.

So now Beigong Boyu feels that after telling Han Sui the truth about the situation here, he will not get any benefits anyway. This may be because the so-called dish is the original sin, and he is not strong enough to defeat Xiang Yu.

, then whatever you do is wrong. In such a situation, all Bei Gong Boyu is left with is despair.

He felt that his only way out now was to fight Xiang Yu for as long as he could. Don't even think about asking Han Sui to send troops to support him. After all, Han Sui's own side might also be fighting, and he might not have any extra troops to send.

He came to support him, so he told Han Sui the true situation here, which was just to give him a chance to laugh at his incompetence.

After understanding this, Beigong Boyu immediately gave an order to his men, telling them not to leak the situation here, let alone send anyone to inform Han Sui or ask for help.

After hearing Beigong Boyu's decision, the generals under Beigong Boyu were very incomprehensible and unsupportive at first. However, Beigong Boyu told them some of his thoughts and worries.

Gong Boyu made it clear that they already had a large number of troops and had an advantage in terrain. If they couldn't defeat Xiang Yu, then how could they have the dignity to live in this world.

It would be even more ridiculous if he still went to Han Sui to ask for reinforcements. He, Beigong Boyu, couldn't afford to lose face like this, but he just didn't know if his generals could afford to lose face like this person!

After hearing his analysis, the generals under Beigong Boyu all felt that it seemed to make sense. A soldier could not be killed and should not be humiliated. If he could not defeat Xiang Yu, he would not be able to defeat him. It was an honor for a soldier to die on the battlefield, even if

In the end, they really couldn't defeat Xiang Yu and were killed, so they deserved their death. But if they give in now and ask Han Sui for support, then not to mention Han Sui will look down on them, but they themselves should also look down on themselves.

As a result, after Beigong Boyu said this, his generals who had originally lost to Xiang Yu had lost most of their fighting spirit. At this time, they were burning again, and they all expressed their intention to continue fighting Xiang Yu to the death, regardless of victory or defeat.

Whether life or death, at least it can be regarded as a real man's choice!
