Chapter 182: Do your best

Knowing that Xiang Kang did not like formation battles, Chen Ping next to him hurriedly suggested: "Right General, you cannot let the tyrant Qin army do what you want. We should not rush to attack. When the tyrant Qin army has to retreat, we will take action and avoid their special formation battles."

Xiang Kang was a little shaken for a while, but when he saw the Qin army transporting the newly cut trees back to the position from afar, Xiang Kang immediately changed his mind and said, "You can't miss the opportunity. If you don't hurry up and launch an attack, defeat the tyrannical Qin army before it's dark, giving them time to prepare for a night battle. It will only be more difficult for us to annihilate this tyrannical Qin army."

After saying that, Xiang Kang, who was famously disliked the battle, immediately issued an order, allowing the main force of the Young Marshal's Army to form a square formation to prepare for the battle. As a result, after the order was issued, the young Marshal's Army generals who were familiar with Xiang Kang's nature were of course very strange. They all said in surprise: "The sun came out from the west today? Our right general didn't play tricks when fighting. We have to fight with the tyrannical Qin army in a dignified manner?"

Even though he was surprised, the fighter plane was precious. In fact, the main force of the Young Marshal Army, who had never neglected the formation training, quickly formed a battle formation and formed a square formation with high requirements for the command ability of the main general. Then Xiang Kang did not hesitate. As soon as the square formation was set, Xiang Kang asked his personal soldiers to raise the banner and ordered the Young Marshal Army to send two thousand troops from the front team to directly hit the front of the Qin army's battle formation. He also ordered Zhong Limei to send troops from the right wing and lead three thousand troops to attack the left wing of the Qin army's battle formation.

"Right General, I'm sorry for the students, are you a little fucked?" Chen Ping reminded carefully: "Although students don't know much about formation warfare, they also know that during formation warfare, they should first send small groups of troops to repeatedly test, find out the enemy's weaknesses, and then avoid the strong and attack the weak, and attack the enemy's weaknesses. Now you don't do any temptation, just launch an attack, and focus on attacking the left wing of the tyrant Qin army. If the elite troops of the tyrant Qin army happen to be on the left wing, we may suffer a loss when we fight like this."

"It's about to be You, and the daytime is short in late autumn, so we don't have time to test it." Xiang Kang answered very directly, and said, "It doesn't matter if the enemy's elite is on the left wing. We can attack their left wing and directly kill their elite forces, which is conducive to our next battle."

Seeing Xiang Kang's answer in a straightforward manner, he saw that Uncle Zhou, the most powerful general under Xiang Kang, did not stand up to oppose it. Chen Ping, who was not good at military affairs, had to shut up and let Xiang Kang make trouble. Dong Kan, on the opposite side, saw Xiang Kang's arrangement, sneered and said, "Don't do any temptation, and he used so many troops to launch an attack as soon as he came up. It is said that Xiang Kang's children will not fight. It seems that this is really correct."

This is also the first time Xiang Kang has faced the enemy head-on since the revolt, and the result is quite satisfying Xiang Kang. Although the young commander's army, which was attacking from the front, was soon shot by the Qin army's powerful crossbow, he still gritted his teeth and rushed to the vicinity, winning the opportunity to fight the Qin army in close combat. At the same time, Zhongli Mei army, who attacked from the right wing, also acted resolutely. After paying a certain amount of casualties, he also rushed to the Qin army's left wing, wielding weapons fiercely to fight with the Qin army in close combat. Although he failed to move the Qin army's position, he successfully entangled the Qin army's left wing.

Xiang Kang was indeed very anxious. After only ten minutes of close combat, Xiang Kang actually ordered Long Qi to lead 3,000 troops to attack to assist Zhong Limei in strengthening the offensive against the left wing of the Qin army. As a result, Chen Ping was of course dumbfounded when he saw it. He didn't understand why Xiang Kang attached so much importance to the left wing of the Qin army. Dong Kan, who was hiding behind the Qin army formation, raised his eyebrows and vaguely discovered Xiang Kang's intention, and said intimately: "No way? Didn't it mean that Xiang Kang's child is not good at formation battles?"

The Qin army led by Dong Kan had only more than 10,000 troops. Apart from the right wing and the front central army, there were only five 500 teams that could be arranged on the left wing. The 2,500 army had naturally had great pressure to fight against the 6,000 young commanders. What's worse, the rear army of the young commanders led by Long Qi did not directly join the front battlefield, but deviated to the north of the left wing of the Qin army and launched an attack on the side of the left wing of the Qin army. Joined with Zhong Limei to attack the left wing of the Qin army from two directions. The pressure on the left wing of the Qin army naturally doubled. After only a moment of fierce fighting, the left wing of the Qin army felt much more difficult and had to ask for help from the central army.

Forced to the point of no choice, Dong Kan could only hurriedly draw 1,000 troops from the central army to reinforce the left wing. However, what surprised Dong Yi was that Xiang Kang sent Li Shang to lead 3,000 troops to the left wing of the Qin army, and detoured far behind the left wing of the Qin army, and rushed from the rear to the back of the left wing of the Qin army, and frantically used nine thousand troops to attack more than three thousand troops on the left wing of the Qin army on three sides.

When the war reached this point, Xiang Kang's intention was already very obvious. He relied on his advantage in the number of troops and used the weakness of the Qin army's left wing to attack the Qin army's left wing with more and less. However, this method was stupid but the Qin army could not solve it, forcing Dong Kan to continue to replenish his troops to the left wing, and at the same time prayed for the blessing of the gods, so that his left wing could withstand Xiang Kang's three axes and persist until the turning point appeared.

Prayer is destined to be useless. Under the command of Xiang Kang, the generals of Zhongli Mei and Long Qi who attacked the left wing of the Qin army were originally first-class generals of this era. Seeing Xiang Kang repeatedly increasing troops to the left wing battlefield, he also understood that Xiang Kang had high hopes for him, so there was no need for Xiang Kang to send people to urge him to supervise the battle. Zhongli Mei and Long Qi had rushed to the front line and personally led the young commander's soldiers to fight bravely, shaking the Qin army on the left wing one after another, forcing the Qin army on the left wing to gradually change the formation into a circular formation of different sizes and turn into the defensive.

At this time, the sun was gradually setting, and the sky was about to turn dark, but the attack of the Young Marshal's army was still surging like a tide. The swords, spears and halberds rushed to the Qin soldiers. Although the Qin soldiers also fought hard to resist, the disparity of troops was too great. Several round formations on the periphery were quickly broken by the Young Marshal's army. The soldiers without the cover of the companions were killed one after another. Many people were forced to flee to seek help from the central army formation on the right, but the offensive of the Young Marshal's army still did not slow down. They rushed and killed fiercely with red eyes, and gradually put pressure on the central army position of the Qin army from the side.

"Shameless dog thief will only rely on more and win less! If the general's troops are the same as you, you don't think of any chance in this battle!"

No matter how unwilling Dong Kan yelled, he still failed to save his left wing's misfortune. When it was about to dark, he could not withstand the crazy attack of the Young Commander's Army. The round formations of the Qin army's left wing collapsed one after another, and a large number of soldiers fled into the central position to avoid it. The three young commander's army on the left wing took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the side of the Qin army's central position with the flags. Xiang Kang, who had a strong force, took the opportunity to urge Zheng Bu's army to step forward and attack the Qin army's central position with torches.

It was still extremely tragic. In the light of a few torches, the young generals continued to shout and launched a wave of attacks on the Qin army's central position. The Qin army's central army had been weakened because they had been forced to divide their troops to reinforce the left wing twice before. In addition, the defeated soldiers affected the queue, and it was inevitable that they would be more difficult to fight. Although they did not show any signs of defeat, their position gradually loosened and were forced to turn to the defensive.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Dong Kan could only make a quick decision and mobilized his right-wing army to reinforce the central army, attacking the flank of Zheng Bu, who was attacking the front of the Young Commander's Army from the side, trying to temporarily force Zheng Bu to retreat. This was the opportunity for Xiang Kang and others. The right wing of the Qin army had just taken action, and the left-wing army of the Young Commander's Army immediately launched all out, attacking the right-wing soldiers of the Qin army with a fierce momentum, pulling the Qin army into a full-scale melee.

The situation of a full-scale melee is still extremely unfavorable to the Qin army. The young commander's army is good at fighting melee, and now it has a high morale and an absolute advantage in the army. It is inevitable that it is even more convenient during the fight. It kills the Qin army, which is mainly composed of prisoners in Mount Li, and screams repeatedly, and is forced to turn to the defensive in full.

After fully turning into the defensive, although the Qin army could hold on for a while, Dong Kan knew very well that unless a miracle happened, the self-armed army would be defeated in this battle. Xiang Kang, who was still very strong in his hands, only needs to wait patiently for a while. When the young commander-in-chief of the front line exhausted the Qin army and then calmly joined the reserve team, the Qin army would definitely be left with the end of being slaughtered. Therefore, Dong Kan had no extra choice. He first accepted the kindness of his personal soldiers, immediately changed into the soldiers' clothes, and then hurriedly called the golden celestial to withdraw the troops, led the Qin army to escape, and retreated to Chaoge to protect the army as much as possible.

Dong Kan still underestimated Xiang Kang's command ability. The Qin army had just begun to retreat. Under Xiang Kang's command, the cavalry of the young commander army who had been preparing for a long time immediately attacked under the leadership of Guan Ying and Yang Xi, and bypassed the battlefield and directly pursued Dong Kan's flag. At the same time, the Qin army that retreated hastily was in chaos. In a blink of an eye, they were broken into pieces by the young commander army on the front line and fled all over the mountains. The young commander army units took advantage of the victory to pursue, and countless soldiers took off their armor and chased them naked, killing the defeated Qin army and throwing their armor out of place, and defeating the army.

The victory was decided, but at this time, Chen Ping, who had been worried around, breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile at Xiang Kang: "Right General, everyone says you are not good at formation battles, they only like to fight in the field and win by surprise. Now it seems that this should be wrong. You don't seem so bad at fighting against each other?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?" Xiang Kang asked, and then immediately said: "The lies are because I didn't have the chance to win by surprise this time, so I can only fight head-on, so I have to fight this battle."

"As for the truth," Xiang Kang smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I am not really afraid of formation battles. I really didn't have the chance to fight in formations before. Every time I fought, either my troops were always at a disadvantage. The battle was of little chance. I had to win by using tricks. Or my troops were in an absolute advantage and the enemy dared not fight head-on. This was the first time I encountered a decisive opportunity with a small difference in troops, and it was also the first time I had the opportunity to fight a dignified formation battle."

Xiang Kang's words were a bit bragging. If it weren't for Xiang Liang's personal teaching in Pengcheng, it would have greatly made up for Xiang Kang's weakness of not being good at formation warfare, perhaps Xiang Kang would not dare to face the Qin army head-on today. However, it is obviously no matter whether he bragged or not. After defeating the Qin army's mobile troops with formation warfare with the advantage of military strength, the Young Commander's Army easily killed more than 4,000 Qin soldiers in the pursuit, captured more than 1,000 people, and forced Dong Kan to abandon the flag and flee, severely injured Zhang Han's mobile troops in the rear, achieving a great victory.

After the North Bank war ended, Xiang Kang led the main force of the Young Marshal's Army to cross the Yellow River south from the White Horse and return to the south bank battlefield. During this period, although Su Zheng's troops of the Qin army took advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Young Marshal's Army to temporarily leave Puyang and launched three large-scale attacks on Puyang in two days, they were always helpless in the city of Puyang. On the contrary, they still suffered considerable losses in the battle. So just as they discovered that the main force of the Young Marshal's Army turned around and returned to Puyang, Su Zheng could only stop siege immediately and prepare to withdraw back to Jiyuan.

Just like Dong Kan underestimated Xiang Kang's ability to fight, Su Zhe also underestimated Xiang Kang's plan for the future. While the main force of the Young Mars Army was still crossing the river, Zhu Jishi, the young army who was responsible for monitoring the White Horse Qin Army, immediately advanced eastward and came to Puyang to block Su Zhe's withdrawal. He also successfully arrived in Puyang before Su Zhe led his army to retreat. He bit Su Zhe's tail. When Su Zhe gritted the bullet and forced his retreat, in addition to Zhu Jishi's decisive pursuit, Chao Zhi also brought the three thousand defenders in Puyang City to join the pursuit battle. He joined forces with Zhu Jishi to hold back the retreat speed of the Qin army, and bought precious time for the main force of the Young Mars Army to catch up with Su Zhe.

Then, near Dunqiu east of Puyang, the main force of the Young Marshal's army who arrived lightly fought with the Qin army again. Xiang Kang personally took the battle and led the Young Marshal's army soldiers to fight again with the Qin army Su Zheng. He relied on the bravery of the Young Marshal's army to defeat the Qin army again, defeating Su Zheng again, successfully completing the established tactical plan to defeat the Qin army reinforcements, completely cutting off the Qin army's Yellow River transport, and putting the main force of the Qin army into a food shortage crisis.

Good news continued. First, the Qin army guards of the White Horse saw that both reinforcements were defeated by the Young Marshals. In order to survive, they took the initiative to open the city and surrender, and offered control of the White Horse City and the White Horse Ferry to the Young Marshals. Then Xiang Yu also took the initiative to send people to send news, introducing the situation where the main force of the Qin army was forced to give up the retreat of Julu battlefield and the main force of the Chu army won the Zhanghe River. Xiang Kang was very happy when he heard the news and quickly found Uncle Zhou and others to discuss how to further cooperate with the main force's operations.

When he used tactical use, he was still Director Zhou Dazhan. As soon as he understood the general situation on Julu battlefield, Zhou made a suggestion to Xiang Kang: "Right General, we should contact the former general as soon as possible and ask him to send a anti-Qin Yi army to attack Dangyin and cut off the road for the main force of the tyrannical Qin to retreat directly from Jiyuan to Chaoge."

"If this move is successful, we can take the initiative on the north bank. If the main force of the tyrant Qin does not go to the west of Dangyin, we will intercept the main force of the tyrant Qin on the spot in Baimajin and cooperate with our main force to attack the main force of the tyrant Qin. If the main force of the tyrant Qin does not dare to go to the west of Baimajin, we can also go north from Baimajin to reinforce friendly forces, and join forces with our friendly forces to attack the tyrant Qin army to prevent the advance of the tyrant Qin army from west. In short, no matter how the main force of the tyrant Qin chooses, we all have the hope of completely cutting off the retreat path of the tyrant Qin main force, and join forces with our main force to severely damage or even annihilate the main force of the tyrant Qin."

Xiang Kang didn't say anything, but because Uncle Zhou's strategy was not working, but because Xiang Kang was worried that if he really annihilated the main force of the Qin army in Handan County, he would lose the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to enter Guanzhong and give the opportunity to directly attack Guanzhong to his Overlord Cousin.

Fortunately, Xiang Kang's conscience has not been eaten up by the dog. Considering that the destruction of Qin must be the priority at the moment, and if Zhang Han is given a chance to turn the tables, what mistakes does his brave and unscheming cousin's cousin have? Even if he entered Guanzhong from Wuguan in Nanyang, he might be able to be made into dumplings by the main force of the Qin army who returned in time. Xiang Kangsi thought about it and nodded and agreed to Uncle Zhou's suggestion.

The letter was written soon, and the reliable messenger was sent out quickly. However, after the messenger said goodbye, Chen Ping carefully reminded Xiang Kang: "Right General, General Zhou Shu suggested that the former general divide his troops and attack the Yin. Although the tactics are very correct, the students judge the gentleman's a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the former general may not necessarily obey."
