Chapter 51 Play hard to get
When Sun Jian was extremely surprised, Xiang Yu had already led his troops to the west. This time his attack target was Dashan Pass. His lieutenants were very puzzled by Xiang Yu's decision.
"General Xiang, we defeated Bian Zhang's army. Why didn't we take advantage of the high morale to pursue them further? Instead, we attacked the heavily defended Dashan Pass." One of the adjutants asked.
"Yes, General Xiang, with our current strength, we probably won't be able to capture Dashan Pass!" Another lieutenant general also agreed.
But Xiang Yu said: "Just follow my orders and attack Dashan Pass with all your strength. You don't need to ask too much about other things."
Xiang Yu's lieutenants shook their heads after hearing this. However, although they had some doubts about Xiang Yu's orders, after all, Xiang Yu had indeed led them to win several battles before, so they just felt that although Xiang Yu looked young,
But there is indeed some real ability, so I won’t ask any more questions.
Xiang Yu organized his troops to cross the Wei River and camped about twenty miles in front of Dashan Pass. The terrain here was already dominated by mountains and ravines. It was quite difficult for the cavalry to deploy on this terrain. The terrain of Dashan Pass in front was
Even more complicated, it seems that it is almost an impossible task for a cavalry-based force to capture Dashan Pass.
Then Xiang Yuzhen led his troops to attack Dashan Pass for several consecutive rounds, but the results seemed to be predictable. Xiang Yu's army, lacking powerful siege weapons, had no chance of taking Dashan Pass. On the contrary, they lost their troops and generals.
Quite a bit, over the past two days, the morale of Xiang Yu's troops gradually began to decline, and some soldiers in the army began to show obvious dissatisfaction with Xiang Yu.
Under such circumstances, Xiang Yu announced his withdrawal, and then retreated dozens of miles back. Just when Xiang Yu's troops were about to retreat to the Wei River, they heard that Bian Zhang was leading his troops from the west and were about to confront Dashan Pass.
The chasing troops prepared to attack Xiang Yu together.
Xiang Yu's lieutenants shook their heads when they saw this situation and asked Xiang Yu what to do. However, Xiang Yu laughed loudly at this time and said to them: "What we want is for them to take the initiative to attack us. Think about it, this big break
How can such a dangerous place be easily captured? If the enemy does not come out, we will never have a chance, but how can they be willing to come out easily? Nabian Zhang has also been defeated by me twice, and how can he be willing to send troops again easily, so I just
Deliberately failing to attack Dashan Pass and acting like a retreat is really a tactic to lure a snake out of its hole!"
When Xiang Yu's lieutenants heard Xiang Yu's explanation, they couldn't help but suddenly realized. They repeatedly praised Xiang Yu for his resourcefulness, and the original sad look on his face was replaced by a smile.
Xiang Yu's army was not in a hurry to counterattack, but retreated eastward along the Wei River. Bian Zhang personally led a force to rush forward first. Seeing Bian Zhang chasing after him, Xiang Yu also fought back in person.
When the two armies met, Bian Zhang frowned when he saw Xiang Yu and asked: "Who is coming? I, Bian Zhang, will not kill unknown people!"
Xiang Yu laughed loudly when he heard this. "My surname is Xiang, and my only name is Ji."
"Ah! Are you Xiang Ji?" Bian Zhang said after hearing this. "I think you are just a child with milk teeth. It must be Xiang Ji who is afraid of death and dare not meet each other, so he sent a yellow-haired child like you to die for him.
, it’s really unreasonable!”
Xiang Yu sneered after hearing this. "You are not unjust if you die in the hands of a yellow-haired boy like me!"
After saying that, Xiang Yu stopped talking nonsense and slammed the whip on the black horse Ben Lei under his crotch. The horse was in pain. After a roar, it leaped forward and rushed straight towards Bian Zhang. Xiang Yu left
Holding the handle of the thunder gun tightly, dragging it sideways to his side, a fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Bian Zhang also stepped forward on his horse, holding a long halberd tightly with both hands, and stabbed Xiang Yu in the direction he came from. His momentum was not small, but when the spear and the halberd collided, a burst of fire immediately burst out.
There was a ball of sparks, and Bian Zhang's body shook violently, and his palms hurt. Blood was already oozing from the tiger's mouth, and his hands were numb and itchy, which was very uncomfortable.
The two horses passed each other, and Bian Zhang was just about to turn around and fight Xiang Yu again, but he saw the thunder gun in Xiang Yu's hand coming like lightning, and one shot pierced the head of Bian Zhang's good horse.
, the tip of the spear passed through the side of the horse's eye, and then he pulled out the entire front end of the war horse, his hooves softened, he knelt down, and his whole body immediately fell to one side.
Bian Zhang was thrown off the horse violently. When he reacted again, the tip of a sharp spear was already pressed against his neck, which made it difficult for him to breathe.
"Do you want to die at the hands of a yellow-haired boy like me, or become a prisoner of war for a yellow-haired boy like me?" Xiang Yu asked with a sneer.
After Xiang Yu captured Bian Zhang alive, the army commanded by Bian Zhang immediately fell into chaos. However, the morale of Xiang Yu's soldiers suddenly rose, and they followed Xiang Yu to launch a fierce counterattack. The offensive and defensive momentum on the battlefield was completely reversed.
.
After a rush, there were countless casualties. The troops brought by Bian Zhang were once again killed to pieces by Xiang Yu. It was miserable. Then Xiang Yu led his army to fight against the enemy troops chasing from the direction of Dashanguan. Facing Xiang Yu's army
With high morale, these soldiers who were originally better at defending checkpoints and not good at frontal combat did not pose much of a threat to Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu led the army in front, and after several charges, he had already smashed the enemy's formation into shape. Then Xiang Yu also took advantage of the situation and led the army all the way to the Dashan Pass. After another half-day attack, he finally defeated Dashan.
Guan was taken down.
Although the losses during the storming of Dashan Pass were still not small, the Bian Zhang army and horses captured in this battle can also be used as a supplement to the troops. Some of the soldiers brought by Bian Zhang have been defeated by Xiang Yu three times in a row.
First Xiang Yu attacked Chencang City, then not long ago he killed generals from Long County to rescue Chencang, and today this time.
These soldiers had obviously been subdued by Xiang Yu, so when Xiang Yu asked them if they were willing to surrender, most of the captured soldiers surrendered, and Xiang Yu was also very generous and took the few prisoners who were unwilling to surrender directly.
Let go.
What he did was actually a bit murderous. He was clearly telling them that you can go back and bring weapons to fight me, Xiang Yu. I will kill you as many times as you come.
It is estimated that these prisoners who were released would not dare to come to fight Xiang Yu again, and even if they come to fight Xiang Yu in the future, they have already lost from a psychological level, so how can they still defeat Xiang Yu.
After this battle, Xiang Yu's lieutenants were really convinced. They all felt ashamed that they had doubted Xiang Yu's decision before. They thought in their hearts and said that they would never doubt Xiang Yu's orders in the future.
.
Xiang Yu smiled slightly, as if this series of victories were just small achievements that were not worthy of him. Standing on the Dashan Pass, he looked at the slowly setting sun and planned the next action in his heart.
