Counterattack

Counterattack

Seeing Xiang Yu setting fire to the city and killing him, one of Han Sui's generals was extremely angry and wondered how could you escape so easily today, so he gathered his troops and chased him out of the west gate of Chencang City.

Xiang Yu killed him.

After all, there are only about a hundred cavalry left by Xiang Yu at this time, and after a bloody battle in the fire, most of them are injured or exhausted. If they fight again, they may not be able to keep up physically.

At this time, they could choose to ignore the pursuers and move forward. After all, they were all cavalry, and it would not be easy for the pursuers to catch up. However, Xiang Yu decided to continue to retreat for the time being, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

Xiang Yu knows very well that the best defense is to attack. When facing pursuit, the more you run away, the more energetic the opponent will be. The best way is to find a suitable time to deal a heavy blow to the pursuers. As long as you can

Give a strong enough blow, and the pursuers will naturally retreat, or at least the pursuit will be suspended.

At the same time, chasing soldiers often think that they are in an absolute advantage, so they are likely to relax their vigilance. They usually think that the party being pursued will not have the courage to fight back, so if they can take advantage of the opponent's mentality

If you are relaxed, you will have a good chance of finding counterattack opportunities.

And Xiang Yu knew this very well. During the Battle of Gaixia, he was still able to lead a small cavalry unit to launch a counterattack against Liu Bang's troops that were countless times larger than his own, and achieved very good results.

If it weren't for the disparity in military strength, it might be hard to say who would win in the end.

Therefore, it is not a smart choice to rashly pursue Xiang Yu. Of course, the pursuing general at this time would not know that he was facing Xiang Yu. In order to pursue Xiang Yu as soon as possible, he did not even reorganize his troop formation.

After leaving the city, there was chaos, and even infantry and cavalry mixed together and rushed forward. This also caused some of his infantry to be knocked down by his own cavalry and suffered casualties, but he didn't care about this at all, and continued to

The troops rushed out of Chencang City, which was already on fire.

To know that our side has such a huge military advantage, yet Xiang Yu led such a small number of people to turn the city upside down. This is probably something that no one else would be able to swallow.

On Xiang Yu's side, he first led his troops to a relatively high slope nearby, allowing the cavalry around him to take a break while standing on the top of the slope observing the situation on Chencang City's side. When he

When he discovered that a large number of pursuers were coming out of the city, instead of panicking, he showed a faint smile.

Based on the approximate distance, Xiang Yu deduced that the opponent would be chasing him soon, leaving him little time to rest. However, where he was now, the south was less than a mile away from the Wei River, and the entire north was a plain, surrounded by

This part of the hillside is only a maximum of ten meters above the plain, and the slope is not steep, with a long downhill slope.

Xiang Yu made up his mind and stopped advancing with his troops. He just ordered his soldiers to remount and regroup and be ready to fight at any time. Although the soldiers were very tired, the blood in their hearts was still hot. They had followed Xiang Yu in Chencang City before.

The experience of fighting together in the fire was so exciting. Many of them had never seen or even imagined that they could fight in such a way.

They all placed Xiang Yu in a very high position in their hearts and believed that under his leadership and command, nothing was impossible. Therefore, when Xiang Yu ordered to stop advancing, no one had any doubts.

, but each is preparing for the next battle to come.

Everyone is mortal, and even if a grown man dies, he must die vigorously in a bloody battle, and it is not easy to say who will live and who will die. As long as everyone is willing to accept death as home, there is no battle that cannot be fought?

Soon the pursuers came closer. They saw Xiang Yu's troops standing upright on the top of the slope without making any movement. Some soldiers who were also at the front also temporarily stopped advancing, but other soldiers behind him

The soldiers were constantly charging forward, forcing them to be unable to stop. However, because there had been no adjustments to the formation since leaving the city, the formation at this time was still very chaotic.

The cavalry and infantry were mixed together, making it impossible for the cavalry to take advantage of their speed. At this moment, Xiang Yu on the top of the slope was seen leading a group of cavalry in a line. With a roar from Xiang Yu, he immediately issued an order to charge.

The cavalry all began to rush down the slope, but Xiang Yu's horse, Galloping Thunder, was faster than the other horses around him, so he rushed to the front within a few steps.

Han Sui's pursuit formation was originally very chaotic, and the generals in charge were not even at the forefront of the troops. Facing Xiang Yu's cavalry charge from top to bottom, how could he have much combat effectiveness?

The soldiers at the front were rushed away at once. Originally, there were some infantry with rifles and shields specially used to deal with cavalry charges.

However, there is no time to form a formation in the chaos. The spear is already very long, so it needs a corresponding formation and space between each other to exert its combat effectiveness. However, under the current situation, the surrounding friendly cavalry is mixed with them, and the distance between them is very small.

It was also very close, and the troops from the rear were still coming in a steady stream. I didn't expect that the troops standing in the front had been turned into human meat cakes.

As a result, the troops at the front had no power to fight back at all, and they fell to the ground as soon as Xiang Yu led his troops. Xiang Yu himself also showed his power as an overlord, relying on his own personal combat power to tear them apart in front of the formation.

Xiang Yu can deal with any opening, whether it is an oncoming sword, shield, or spear and halberd soldier. The enemies who come face to face with him generally cannot parry for two rounds before being killed by Xiang Yu. Even if the surrounding enemies are

If they attack Xiang Yu together, they will still be parried by Xiang Yu, and then they will have to face his violent counterattack.

Although the number of people in this wave of charges led by Xiang Yu was small, it really brought out the power of the cavalry. The result was that the troops originally coming to pursue Xiang Yu were directly charged and collapsed. Especially after the collapse of the front army,

The emotion of defeat will quickly spread to the rear, just like beating a drum to spread flowers. Soldiers on the battlefield can only be affected by friendly forces not far away around them.

And when several rows of troops at the front were directly defeated, the defeat would quickly spread backwards. After a while, the large troops that were originally rushing forward turned into a steady stream backwards.

Troops charging in the opposite direction.

The cavalry and horses mixed in the military formation rushed wildly after being frightened, either trampling friendly infantry under the horses' hooves, or being stabbed into bloody holes by friendly spears, while more soldiers were collapsing each other.

They were trampled on each other and killed each other. It was a tragic scene on earth, and blood was left all over the place from the army formations caught in it.

The blood even flowed along the ditch into the Wei River further away, dyeing the Wei River red.

Xiang Yu also led his troops to cover up the enemy. The force of more than 100 people caused at least hundreds or even thousands of casualties to Han Sui's rebels. Of course, a large part of the casualties were actually their own friendly forces.

Caused by the rout.

The general who ordered the pursuit of Xiang Yu was even more miserable. He was thrown off his horse by the defeated cavalry who came back to fight against him. Finally, he was trampled into a pulp by thousands of troops. His body was completely unrecognizable.

Xiang Yu and the others really killed him until he lost all his strength before ending the battle. At this time, many soldiers were already exhausted, and it was obvious how fierce the battle was throughout the day.

As the sun sets in the west, the red sunset glow shines in the sky, forming a beautiful but tragic scene with the blood and corpses flowing on the ground.
