Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 539
Chapter 538: Xiliang Iron Cavalry
"Report..."

A spy rushed into Xiang Yu's tent and reported anxiously, "Reporting to the general, Daguguan was breached by the Han army."

"what?"

Xiang Yu, who was in the main seat, stood up abruptly, and said with a shocked expression, "How could it be so fast?"

Xiang Yu thought that with [-] dead soldiers and the terrain of Daguguan, he should be able to last for more than three days, but Daguguan was breached in just two days, which completely disrupted Xiang Yu's plan.

The spy quickly explained, and Xiang Yu's brows furrowed immediately after hearing this.

What the spies said was that Li Yuanba smashed Daguguan with a sledgehammer, and Xiang Yu didn't believe it at all.

Xiang Yu is only one step away from the realm of a great master, and he knows where human beings are capable.

The strength required to destroy a city wall is not necessarily able to be achieved even by ten great masters, let alone Li Yuanba alone.

Xiang Yu was not stupid either, and he quickly thought that Daguguan itself had a problem, but Li Yuanba must have also played a catalytic role, otherwise how could it collapse so coincidentally?

"From this point of view, Li Yuanba's power is probably not under mine, but I don't know what his martial arts realm is."

Xiang Yu said to himself with a dignified expression, he probably never imagined that Li Yuanba would surpass him in terms of strength, and this person who surpassed him was actually a fool.

"That Li Cunxiao, who can break the line of defense by himself, should also be a tough opponent."

Xiang Yu muttered to himself again and analyzed it, and finally came to the conclusion that if he was alone in this battle, he would probably be defeated by the group or even killed in the battle.

After all, this is not the first time a big man has done such a thing.

"It seems that we can only defend ourselves and wait for reinforcements."

Xiang Yu's eyes were full of trouble, and he asked Yang Dingtian with a dignified expression, "How long will the reinforcements arrive at the soonest?"

Yang Dingtian replied, "General Di Gong has already personally led the army, and it will probably take five days at the earliest."

"Five days? With this dilapidated Hulao Pass and [-] prisoners of war, it is impossible to hold on for five days under the onslaught of the Han army.

If there were [-] soldiers trained by himself, even if he relied on this dilapidated Hulao Pass, Xiang Yu would be sure to hold it for seven days, but these prisoners of war were different.

Although they had the combat power not lost to the Han army before, they had just escaped from the prisoner of war camp, and their equipment and condition were too poor.

The most important thing is that the military spirit of the prisoners of war has not recovered. They lack the courage to face the Han army. How could they survive for five days under the onslaught of [-] Han soldiers?
After hearing the words, Yang Dingtian thought for a while, and said, "Even if the Han army breaks through Dagu Pass, they still have to capture and manage prisoners, transport supplies, food and grass, and many other trivial matters, and Dagu Pass is not close to Hulao Pass. I am afraid it will be two days after arriving at Hulao Pass, so our army only needs to stand for three days."

"In two days?"

A hint of mockery flashed at the corner of Xiang Yu's mouth, and he said lightly, "I can make sure that after three hours, the cavalry of the Han army will be killed in the camp."

"how come?"

A trace of panic flashed on Yang Dingtian's face, and he quickly retorted: "If the army marches in such a hurry, the Han army itself will cause trouble."

Xiang Yu looked in the direction of Daguguan, and said lightly: "This time, the Li Yang family is here, and Qin Hao is also in the Han army. They will never give me two days."

Yang Dingtian was speechless for a moment. The Li Yang family and Xiang Yu had a deep feud, and the enemy was right in front of him. How could he possibly give him a chance to prepare?

As for Qin Hao, Yang Dingtian kidnapped Qin Hao's mother not long ago. Although he finally took the initiative to put her back, Qin Hao couldn't possibly be grateful to him, and he didn't come for revenge so soon.

Yang Dingtian finally asked, "General, what should I do now?"

Xiang Yu sighed up to the sky, and then said lightly: "Immediately contact General Di Gong and let him arrive within three days."

"But it's impossible to arrive in three days?"

"If it's more than three days, I'm afraid he will come to collect the body for me."

Yang Dingtian was stunned. He did not expect Xiang Yu to be so pessimistic. Is the situation really dangerous?
"In addition, there is an order to immediately abandon the reinforcement of the No. [-] camp. All the troops in the No. [-] camp will not withdraw to the No. [-] camp to strengthen the defense line. They will be ready to fight in three hours."

Xiang Yu used the terrain to set up three major camps on the line from Daguguan to Hulaoguan to stop the enemy from delaying time.

Since Daguguan fell in advance, the time left is definitely not enough to reinforce the three lines of defense, so it is better to concentrate on defending the last two, and the last one is naturally Hulaoguan.

"No." After Yang Dingtian bowed respectfully, he left quickly.

Looking at Daguguan's orientation, Xiang Yu couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Qin Hao, I didn't expect to meet the two of them so soon."

Following Xiang Yu's order, the army in front of Hulao Pass was quickly turned around, and everyone was still working hard.

The prisoners of war who escaped all know that the war will soon come again, and it is difficult for him to compete with the Han army at present, so it is good even if he is more aggressive.

Three hours later, with a rumbling sound, the ground gradually shook.

As soon as the veteran heard this movement, he knew that it was caused by a large number of cavalry galloping, so they all shouted for warning.

"Quick, quickly withdraw to the camp."

"Don't worry about the outside of the camp, the cavalry of the Han army has already arrived."

……

Various shouts continued to sound, and an atmosphere of anxiety and fear gradually dispersed inside the camp.

Outside the camp, Li Shimin looked at the camp standing in front of him, immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Stop."

After receiving the order, the five thousand Liangzhou cavalrymen stopped neatly and quickly like Li Shimin's arms.

After observing for a while, Li Xiuning hurriedly said, "Second brother, although this camp was built in a dangerous place, it was obviously built too hastily. The swiftness of the cavalry can completely destroy the enemy before they can react."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Well, but let's wait for a while. After the cavalry from the rear arrives and attack, we can minimize casualties."

As soon as Daguguan was breached, Li Shimin immediately led the cavalry and brought three days' worth of dry food to pursue him. He even ignored the prisoners of war along the way, in order not to give Xiang Yu time to react.

Li Shimin's heart finally settled down when he arrived at the large camp that was used to block him. Such a simple camp showed that Xiang Yu was really prepared in a hurry.

Li Shimin has absolute confidence in the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. How could such a large village be able to stop the Xiliang Iron Cavalry?

An hour later, Qin Hao and Yang Jian led the cavalry to arrive one after another. At this time, [-] Xiliang iron cavalry and [-] Nanyang fine cavalry had arrived.

The war is about to start.
