Half a month passed, and Xiang Yu's five generals finally caught up with Bai Qi's army, which was now gathering at the Netherworld Pass.
In the next battle of Zhanwang City, the Chu army won a complete victory, killing more than 100,000 enemies and countless generals. The most important ones were Li Yuanba who hammered Cheng Yaojin and Li Xuanba, two great generals.
Li led Wang Buchao, Yuan Mujue, Zuo Tiancheng, Xiongkuohai, Wang Junke and other generals to escape to the Longtang Empire. During this period, small-scale confrontations between the two armies continued.
But facing the Chu army's demon-like warriors, Longtang's enemy army lost all the blocking battles and was unable to frustrate the Chu army's edge.
Li finally understood why the Longtang Army failed in the battle at Wolf Mountain. The Chu army was so famous that it had already swept the entire continent.
Before the two armies clashed, Longtang's soldiers and horses were already frightened, and their morale naturally fell into a disadvantage. This was one of the reasons.
Secondly, the generals of the Chu army are all capable of blocking a hundred. Even ordinary soldiers are as fierce as evil tigers and as ruthless as rich wolves.
Human Tu Bai has clever plans and ruthless killings. A halberd in his hand can sweep through thousands of armies. It is really like what people in the world say about Chu generals:
There are thousands of troops and horses, but one general is there. How difficult is it to search for something?
Li came all the way and was at war with Bai Qi, a battle of combat prowess and a game of wits. He understood that the defeat in the battle was not his fault alone. However, the Chu army was too powerful and overall overbearing and invincible. How could it be defeated?
Netherworld Pass has had a natural moat barrier since ancient times, and it is one of the gateways to the Longtang. Of course, it was heavily guarded, and Li led his army to withdraw.
Bai Qi launched his army to attack, but the first battle ended in failure. The Longtang enemy relied on the natural barrier and the advantages of strong bows and crossbows to condescendingly prevent the Chu army from approaching Netherworld Pass.
Nowadays.
In the Chu army's camp outside the pass, hunting flags were fluttering like flying, strong winds roared by, and smoke and dust rose angrily from the ground, forming a huge vortex that shot straight into the sky.
Xiang Yu, Di Xin, King Bimeng, Li Yuanba, and Jia Fu arrived. They reined up their horses outside the camp, jumped off their horses, raised their hands, threw the reins to the soldiers, and strode into the tent.
During the Battle of Evil Wolf Mountain, the Longtang enemy troops fled in a hurry, and all the grain, grass and baggage fell into the hands of the Chu army. They were escorted by the four generals Yingbu, Xiong Si, Yu Ziqi, and Zhongli, who followed closely behind the army.
At present, the Chu army's urgent need for food and fodder has been resolved. However, if the Netherworld Pass cannot be captured for a long time, the food and fodder obtained will not last long.
This was exactly what Bai Qi was worried about at the moment. Suddenly he saw Emperor Xin's five generals entering the camp. The generals turned their eyes sideways and focused on the figures of the five generals. They felt that the atmosphere in the tent was a little tense, and Emperor Xin's majestic voice sounded.
"What makes Marshal Bai so sad?"
Bai Qi motioned for the five of them to sit down, "The battle of Netherworld Pass has begun. Longtang's reinforcements have arrived, relying on the natural barrier to stop our army from moving forward. With the current food, grass and baggage of our army, we can only last for ten days at most."
"That's it?"
"How can my Chu army be so powerful that it is defeated by a mountain peak? Considering how time-consuming and laborious it is for me, the King, to take the Netherworld Pass by force, why not just cross this pass and attack Longtang City directly?"
Emperor Xin believed that the Chu army's advantage lay in its high numbers of troops and its speed. There was no need to station the army outside the pass. This would only allow the Longtang enemy to linger. If their strength recovered, the next battle would be a protracted and fierce battle.
The advantage of the battle at Evil Wolf Mountain will be gone.
Bai Qi had already planned various marching methods. How could he not have thought of Emperor Xin's plan, but the reinforcements at Youming Pass did not come from Longtang, but from the Turkic army.
They are mainly cavalry and crossbowmen, and their combat power is terrifying. Three days ago, the secret guards sent information about the enemy troops at Hanming Pass. Only then did Bai Qi learn that there were 200,000 troops hidden in this small pass.
It is the Tiger Division in the Turkic army, which is composed of young men from the Great Khan's headquarters. Among all the Turkic armies, the Tiger Division has the strongest combat effectiveness, the best weapons, equipment and logistical support.
The standard of the Turkic Tiger Division in Bai Qi's memory is that one Tiger Division has a total strength of more than 20,000 troops, and 3 Tiger Divisions total more than 60,000 troops. Please note that the Tiger Division is directly under the Great Khan and can be called the ace unit. Others
The general has no power to mobilize the tiger division.
In addition, the Leopard Division is also hidden in the pass. They are also regarded as the main force of the Turks. The Tiger Division is directly under the Khan and is subordinate to the Ace Army.
In the wars between the Turks and surrounding regimes, the Leopard Division was dispatched the most. It was composed of elite soldiers from various tribes and was not as loyal as the Tiger Division.
Half of the 200,000-strong army was made up of Turkic soldiers and horses. The rest belonged to the remnants of the former crown prince Li Chengqian and King Qi Li Yuanji. However, these two armies have now surrendered to Li Shimin.
Bai Qi was worried about crossing the Netherworld Pass and marching into the hinterland of Longtang Mansion. If the Turkic troops came from behind, the Chu army would be caught in a flanking attack.
In addition, generals Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Qin Yong, Li Siye, and Li Wenzhong attacked and killed them over long distances. Cavalry fighting was not their strong point, so he was reluctant to make a decision because he was waiting for the arrival of the five generals Xiang Yu and Emperor Xin.
"King Shang, there are hundreds of thousands of Turkic soldiers and horses hidden in Hanming Pass. They are good at blitz warfare and surprise attacks, and their strong bows and crossbows are very sharp. If you want to directly attack the city in the hinterland of Longtang, you must first deal with the threat of Turkic soldiers and horses!"
Hear the sound.
Emperor Xin and Xiang Yu both looked serious. Li Shimin of the Longtang Dynasty was able to make the Turks surrender with his good tricks.
The Turkic cavalry is famous all over the world. They are as fast as the wind and as fierce as fire. There is no grass growing wherever they pass. They are indeed a front that cannot be underestimated.
In the big tent, the generals began to discuss the next battle plan, and everyone in front of the map began to make plans.
............
at this time.
The traces of Emperor Chu and his entourage have appeared in Yinfeng Stream. Everyone is dressed in rich clothes. There is no army following them, and they look like a caravan.
The system has transmitted the battle situation of the Wolf Mountain battle to Emperor Chu's mind. The crisis of food and grass was temporarily resolved, and Longtang's enemy generals were killed one after another. Emperor Longyan of Chu was delighted, and at the same time, he secretly decided that the robbery of food and grass must be thoroughly investigated.
.
No matter who is behind the scenes, we will never tolerate it and use thunderous means to kill him. If he dares to harm the lives of the Chu army's 500,000 troops, his crime will never be forgiven.
The windy stream is covered with greenery, and the giant peaks stand tall and straight with thousands of blades, like a magic weapon hanging upside down, soaring into the sky.
There was a gentle breeze and the chirping of insects and birds. Emperor Chu and his entourage reined up their horses outside the Yinfeng Stream and stared intently at the misty valley. The atmosphere was a bit strange and strange.
"Mr. Sir, this place is surrounded by thousands of mountains, forming a self-contained whole. You can't see the end of it at a glance. If the people who stole the food and grass are hiding here, it will be very difficult to find them."
"It doesn't matter, let's take a look at the situation first and then talk!"
"With millions of grains and grains being controlled by them, how can there be no clues about them!"
Emperor Chu has a system with a scanning function. No trace can escape his eyes. As long as there are traces to follow, the person who stole the food and grass will have nowhere to hide.
As he spoke, Emperor Chu picked up the reins and released his horse, taking the lead to run towards the Yinfeng Stream. The horse's hooves whipped, and the lone bird on the top of the ancient tree was so startled that it flapped its wings and soared up.
