Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 541 Xiang Yu's Hundred Riders Robbery Camp

第540章：项羽百骑劫营

Looking at the well-defended camp in front of him, Xiang Yu greeted all the soldiers to his side, and said solemnly:

"After tonight, you are all heroes. Whether you can hold out until the reinforcements arrive is all in one fell swoop. I hope you can come out all right."

"General, how can there be undead in a war, besides, I have long since put life and death aside."

"Yes, what kind of Yellow Turbans are you afraid of dying?"

A knight said with a light smile, which immediately caused a low-pitched response.

"well said."

"As long as the violent man can be brought down, there is no fear of death."

The fearless aura of the crowd also infected Xiang Yu, and he immediately said proudly, "We will win this battle."

"Definitely."

Hundreds of knights responded in a low voice, with determination in their eyes. Xiang Yu nodded when he saw this, and waved his halberd: "Action."

This is a dangerous military operation. The [-]-strong army of the big Han is all cavalry. If it is discovered, it will not be easy for Xiang Yu to run.

However, even if they knew they were dead, these hundred warriors had to plunge into it.

The [-] defenders of Hulao Pass needed them to boost their morale, the [-] prisoners of war on Yanzhou Road needed them to delay, and the Ming Empire also needed them, so they had no hesitation.

------

The Han army's large tent, Li Shimin, Qin Hao, and Yang Jian were all gathered here, as if they were discussing what was going on.

Suddenly, Li Xiuning walked into the tent, and Li Shimin came in alone, and immediately frowned and asked, "Where's Yuanba?"

Li Xiuning replied with a wry smile, "I fell asleep. When I woke up, I played a small temper and didn't want to come over for anything."

Li Yuanba refused to fight because of his anger when he got up, and Li Shimin was extremely helpless about this. He was also extremely wise but helpless to this silly younger brother with a child's temperament.

"Forget it, don't come if you don't come. The preparations this time are very abundant. Even if Yuanba is not there, he can still take Xiang Yu."

Yu Wencheng, who was beside Yang Jian, heard the words and immediately asked, "But what if Xiang Yu doesn't come to the robbery camp?"

After all, the Han army had just arrived. In order to prevent the enemy from robbing the camp, the guard on the first night must be the strictest, so anyone who robbed the camp would not choose the first night.

Li Shimin smiled indifferently just as he was about to explain, but was snatched by Qin Hao.

"Xiang Yu will definitely come. If he doesn't come tonight, he won't have any chance." Qin Hao said to himself.

Yu Wencheng-du was still bewildered, and Yang Jian continued to explain: "According to the report from the spies, the Daming reinforcements will arrive in five days, and our army will break through these two camps in one day, so Xiang Yu must hold on for four days before he can arrive. Wait for reinforcements."

Li Shimin took over at this time and said: "Yang Taishou is right, Xiang Yu must hold on for four days, but with this dilapidated Hulao Pass, it is almost impossible to hold on for four days under the onslaught of our army. Therefore, Xiang Yu will definitely take the risk to come to rob the camp to boost the morale of the army."

It turned out that from the beginning, Li Shimin had guessed that Xiang Yu would come to rob the camp, so he did not seize the time to attack overnight.

The purpose of doing this was naturally to create the illusion that the soldiers were exhausted, so as to mislead Xiang Yu and let him come to rob the camp in person. He had already set up traps in the camp and waited for the fish to take the bait.

Li Shimin didn't expect to kill Xiang Yu in an ambush, so he didn't force Li Yuanba to come over.

"Xiang Yu, I want you to feel what despair is." Li Shimin thought bitterly.

"No, it's on fire."

"Don't go to sleep, come out and put out the fire."

Suddenly, a loud shout came, and Li Shimin smiled when he heard the words, because the fish finally took the bait.

"As planned..."

Li Shimin hadn't finished speaking, but was interrupted again by Qin Hao.

"Not right."

Qin Hao looked at Li Shimin solemnly, and said, "The direction of the sound is not right."

After listening carefully, Li Shimin's complexion changed greatly, and he said in shock, "How is it possible that Xiang Yu actually ran to the post-robbery camp?"

The shouting and killing came from the direction of the rear camp, which also means that Xiang Yu did not robbery from the front, left and right sides that were most likely to succeed, but instead chose the rear camp with the highest difficulty.

The main camp of the Han army was also stationed in a dangerous place, and the road to the rear camp was rugged and steep, and the army could not pass normally unless the number of people who came to rob the camp was very small.

Facing the entire cavalry lineup of the Han army, it would be useless if the number of robbery battalions was small, so Li Shimin placed the traps on the front, left and right sides, but Xiang Yu actually came from the rear.

"Why?...By the way...there is only one way."

Li Shimin imagined a dangerous method, and this was the only way to explain, that is, Xiang Yu did not bring many people this time.

"But what can such a person do? Could it be..."

Li Shimin's eyes widened immediately. He suddenly thought that there was a stable very close to the rear camp, and if Xiang Yu's goal was not the grain depot of the front camp, it could only be the stable of the rear camp.

"No, I immediately ordered the front and left battalions not to move rashly. Some people from the central battalion will follow me to the rear battalion to suppress them." Li Shimin said anxiously, and then hurried to the rear battalion.

The biggest threat to the robbery camp is not from the enemy, but when people panic and scramble to the point of bombing the camp, and then kill themselves and their own people, that is the most terrifying thing.

In such a crisis, Li Shimin can still remain extremely calm and issue the most correct order.

After all, if there is still chaos in this way, it will only be chaos in the rear camp, losses will be minimized, and it will be convenient for suppression.

In the rear battalion of the Han army, a hundred yellow turbans in uniforms of the Han army, some of them set fire and shouted to cause chaos, while others slashed and killed when they saw anyone, and finally the rear battalion gradually became chaotic.

Xiang Yu led some people to sneak outside the stables of the Han army, and was discovered by guards.

"That part of you? What are you doing at the stables so late?"

As Xiang Yu approached, he said with a smile, "I am here on the order of General Li Shimin to lead a few horses to carry out a secret mission."

"Ok?"

The guard showed a suspicious expression, and then asked, "Where's the warrant?"

Xiang Yu stretched his hand into his arms, pretended to dig sideways, and approached slowly, but the guard saw Xiang Yu's eyes clearly, and immediately shouted in horror, "It's Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu is here."

Seeing that the matter was exposed, Xiang Yu immediately led Zhong Ren to charge in, and while running, he threw torches, and the horses began to neigh violently.

The caretaker of the stables couldn't stop Xiang Yu at all, and gradually the fire in the stables became so big that the horses were startled.

The war horses were in a state of panic, and no one could stop the horses, so Qi Qi rushed out of the stables and raged in the entire camp.

　Two more to come, and I recommend a few good books to everyone, "The Inverse Scales of the Bright Moon in Qin Dynasty", "Who Restored the Mountains and Rivers of the Han Family" and "This End of the Han Dynasty is Not Normal", you can read it if you are interested.
