Chapter 66 5. Great reversal

Liu Bang didn't know that Xiang Yu was in charge of the big killer on the battlefield at that time-the Loufan cavalry! Lou Fan, a nomadic tribe in the north, is brave and good at fighting, and is a horse tribe.The history of the Loufan cavalry can be traced back to the era of horse riding and archery by King Wuling of Zhao Wuling in the Warring States Period.When the Great Qin Empire unified Liuhe, with Meng Tian as the general, they attacked the Xiongnu in the north and recruited many Lou Fan soldiers.After the death of the First Emperor, Qin II forced his elder brother Fusu to commit suicide and kill Meng Tian, ​​and the military power in the north was handed over to Wang Li, who was from a family of generals.

Then Chen Sheng started an incident, and Wang Li's northern army was transferred back to attack Julu—now that he understands why Wang Li from a family of famous generals did not perform well and was captured by Xiang Yu, right?The cavalry he brought was most suitable for mobile combat and field battles on the plains.However, Qin II asked him to lead the cavalry to attack the city, and the advantages of the cavalry could not be brought into play. As a result, Xiang Yu broke the boat, captured Wang Li, and took possession of this powerful Loufan army. And Liu Bang's war technology is still in the era of vehicle warfare and infantry warfare, and he doesn't know the curtain of cavalry warfare, which is slowly opened at this time.

Knowing that Liu Bang commanded an army of 560,000 princes, had invaded Pengcheng, his old lair, and taken possession of all his valuables and beauties, Xiang Yu kept silent and ordered the Chu soldiers to continue to entangle with the Qi soldiers. A 30,000-strong Loufan cavalry, led by himself, rushed back at full speed. Passing through Ludi, Yu Xiaqiu met Fan Kuai.Fan Kui, the dog-killer, didn't know how powerful he was, so he rushed up screaming and wanted to compare pictures with Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu hit him with cavalry and beat him vigorously. , not in the same heavyweight class as Xiang Yu.

Fan Kuai was easily defeated, and Xiang Yu's cavalry continued to advance. At this time, Liu Bang's 560,000 troops were deployed in Zaozhuang, Qufu, Zouxian, Jiangsu, Dangshan, Anhui and other areas without any deployment-you have 560,000 troops, do you still need to deploy? If there is no arrangement, it will be dead.Xiang Yu rushed to Huling, surrounded Xiaoyi suddenly by night, and attacked at dawn.The Han army suffered an unexpected attack, and immediately called their father and mother, and fled in the direction of Pengcheng in a hurry.Xiang Yu pursued to Pengcheng and fought the Han army.

At this time, the Han army suffered from too many people.With a large number of people, it is difficult to issue orders just to cooperate in the battle. Once an order is sent out, no feedback will be received within two weeks.Would Xiang Yu be so kind, waiting for you for two weeks?No, the Loufan jockeys led by Xiang Yu are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, but because of their strong mobility, they have absolute advantages in every local combat area.Xiang Yu will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He wants to make a quick decision and kill Liu Bang, a pervert and a sex maniac!

In the Battle of Pengcheng, the Han army was unable to organize an effective resistance, trampled on each other, and was in a mess, like a flock of sheep facing a tiger, and Xiang Yu slaughtered them at will. In the area of ​​Pengcheng, where Bian River and Surabaya River intersect, there are mountains all around.There are Dagu Mountain, Xiaogu Mountain and Jiuli Mountain in the north.In the east are Zifang Mountain and Lion Mountain.There are Woniushan and Quanshan in the west.There are Wulao Peak and Nangui Mountain in the south.At this time, the only thing Liu Bang could do was to flee along Gushui and Surabaya.Xiang Yu launched a massacre, unceremoniously beheading hundreds of thousands of Han troops.

The remnants of the Han army retreated towards the southern mountains like a tide, and Xiang Yu continued to pursue and kill them.After chasing to the bank of the Sui River in the east of Lingbi, the Han army was desperate. Those in front were squeezed into the water and drowned, those behind were hacked to death by Lou Fan's cavalry, and those in the middle trampled each other and trampled to death.In this way of death, hundreds of thousands of people died. This battle was earth-shattering and blood flowed like rivers.The Sui River was filled with corpses of the Han army, and the river stopped flowing.

The Han army was almost wiped out, leaving only Liu Bang standing on the spot, his face ashen, dumbfounded.Lou Fan's cavalry rushed up, three floors inside and three floors outside, and surrounded Liu Bang. Seeing that Liu Bang was about to die, unexpectedly, the sky and the earth were suddenly dark, and he saw a black air rising from the northwest, the wind howled, trees were broken, the roof was torn off, stones and sand were flying, and nothing could be seen. .The sky and the earth were suddenly covered with dust particles, the day turned into night in an instant, and people could not see each other face to face.This weird celestial phenomenon shocked the cavalry on the floor.After a period of time, the strong wind subsided and the dust settled. The cavalrymen on the building rubbed their eyes in panic, looked left and right, but Liu Bang was gone.

At this time, Liu Bang took advantage of the changes in the sky and only led a dozen cavalry to sneak out of the encirclement and escape.He also wanted to go to Pei County to pick up his wife and father, but Liu Bang's family had already fled. The lobbyist Li Shiqi took Liu Taigong and Lu Zhi to a small road, trying to find Liu Bang, but on the way, he happened to meet an army that came to meet them. ——Chu Jun. Liu Taigong and Lu Zhi have been kept in the prisoner-of-war camp by the hospitable Xiang Yu ever since. Liu Bang got the car and continued to flee on the road. The Chu army chased after him, and suddenly saw two children on the side of the road, both under the age of ten. They turned out to be Liu Bang's son Xiaohui Emperor and his daughter. Princess Lu Yuan.Liu Bang hurriedly greeted his son and daughter to get into the car, and everyone fled together.But when there were more people in the car, the speed slowed down, and the Chu soldiers behind were chasing closer and closer.At this time, Liu Bang showed his might and kicked his son and daughter out of the car: "Father, go first, you two cover."

Terrified, Xia Houying jumped out of the car and carried the two children back to the car.As soon as he let go, Liu Bang kicked again, sending the two children flying.Xia Houying took the two children back again, and Liu Bang kicked them away again.If so, three.Seeing that Xia Houying insisted on taking the two children away, Liu Bang became murderous. He wanted to kill the two children, but Xia Houying tried his best to stop him.Liu Bang killed the child more than a dozen times, but failed. At this time, Liu Bang came to Xia Houying, wanting to kill Xia Houying, and then kill the child. Fortunately, the Chu soldiers had already caught up at this time, so Liu Bang had no choice but to give up killing the child. He turned his head to look, and was immediately amused: "Hey, it turned out to be my old friend Ding Gong."

Ding Gong was taken aback: "You recognize me?" Liu Bang tearfully said: "How could you not know each other? You are Ji Bu's half-brother. Ding Gong, I have something to tell you. Heroes in the world, Ding Gong and Ji Ye, are the only ones in the world. Do we two heroes have to kill each other?" —— "Is it bad for two sages?" ("Historical Records Jibu Luanbu Biography 40") "You..." Ding Gong lived his whole life and was called a hero for the first time.He couldn't do anything, and if Liu Bang was arrested, no one in the world would admit that he was a hero anymore. Alas, the hero is short of breath! Ding Gong let Liu Bang go, and later when Liu Bang conquered the world, he was the first to be killed.The purpose of repaying kindness and revenge is that Liu Bang wants to warn his subordinates not to let the enemy general go, otherwise he will die miserably like Ding Gong. With sweet words, he fooled Ding Gong to let him go, and Liu Bang took the path to Xiayi.Lu Zhi's elder brother Zhou Luhou was leading troops for Liu Bang there.Go back to Xiayi, even if you get away. So far, the first battle on the main line battlefield, the second battle since Liu Bang left customs, and the Battle of Pengcheng is over.In this battle, Xiang Yu killed hundreds of thousands of Han troops with a mere 30,000 cavalry, which constituted a miraculous example in the history of ancient Chinese warfare that an army with absolute disadvantages defeated a powerful enemy. In the Battle of Pengcheng, the one who died the worst was Yin Wang Simaang—he was trampled to death by everyone in the chaos, and became the fifth king among the eighteen kings who died.There is also Wang Shenyang from Henan. He was the missing person in this battle, and no one has found him until now.Although it is missing, it can also be listed as the sixth king who was removed.Later, Zhang Han, king of Yong, was destroyed by the Han army and killed himself, becoming the seventh king to die. King Sima Xin of Sai and King Zhai Dong Yi took this opportunity to return to Xiang Yu.Dai Wang Chen Yu was very angry when he heard that Liu Bang had killed the fake Zhang Er to lie to him, so he announced that he would draw a line with Liu Bang, break away from friendship, and negotiate peace with Xiang Yu.Wei Bao, king of the Western Wei Dynasty, claimed that his family members were sick, so he asked for leave to go home to visit, and when he returned, he cut off Hejin and returned to Chu against the Han—this choice made him the No. 1 seed player in the next battle. Liu Bang, a game of chess that had already been won, suddenly turned around, lost completely, and was beaten back to his original shape again.
