The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 530 Chaoyang's Difficulty, Overlord's Counterattack
Under the city of Huameng
After Xiang Yu summoned all the generals under his command to discuss, he made a decision to gather a large army to attack the Qi army's defense line again.

If it is captured in one fell swoop, the food shortage dilemma faced by our own army will be solved immediately.

However, if it is impossible to capture, every day Xiang Jiajun delays, his situation will become more critical.

This can be regarded as Xiang Yu's last fight!

The next day, in the early morning, Xiang Yu quickly arranged for the sergeants to have breakfast in the camp, and then boosted their morale.

The whole army marched down the city. Immediately afterwards, the cavalry of the Xiang family army patrolled around, beware of unexpected accidents.

As for the pawns, under the leadership of Xiang Ta, Yu Ziqi and other generals, they launched a strong attack on the top of the city.

For a while, people shouted like a tide, and the battle was very fierce, but, although the Xiang family army was extremely brave, they were not afraid of death!

However, the Qi army's strength in the Huameng area was already very sufficient. Its strong generals included not only Li Cunxiao, a great general, but also Xue Dingshan, Fan Lihua and other generals.

Therefore, although Xiang Yu personally commanded the siege in the center, it is a pity that the battle that lasted for more than half a day ended without a problem!

It wasn't until night that Xiang Yu's army retreated slowly like a tide and returned to the camp.

······
In the city, Wang Zhi sat high in the lobby, watching the generals

Slowly said: "Generals, why did Xiang Yu want to break through the city so urgently before the enemy army became more fierce today?"

"According to this general, Xiang Yu's army has spent several months with me here, and its food and logistics must be unsustainable."

"That's why Xiang Yu made this bad move and made a last-ditch effort, but he underestimated the combat power of my Daqi generals."

Hearing this, his general Luo Zhang couldn't help being puzzled, and asked, "Why did the general conclude that Xiang Yu's army is short of food?"

"What if this is just Xiang Yu's trick, the purpose is to lure our army, let our army go out of the city to fight, so that we can plan to ambush our army?"

Following Luo Zhang's doubts, the rest of the generals also showed doubts, and without waiting for Wang Zhen to explain, Xue Dingshan, the deputy general, stood up and explained.

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"I remember that General Liu Rengui once said that in order to stimulate the morale of his own army, Xiang Yu once broke through after crossing the Gan River."

"This also shows that the reason why Xiang Yu's army has been able to spend as much as I have in the past few months is entirely because our army has no time to transfer the food and grass in Nanhai County."

"However, General Liu transferred most of the food and grass in Nanhai County before the war. The remaining food and grass could last for a few months."

"Calculating the time, the grain and grass in Xiang Yu's army is indeed facing the stage of suing the kiln."

Although Xue Dingshan is not a general in Lingnan, his foresight can also analyze the situation in Xiang Yu's army from some situations.

Seeing Xue Dingshan's analysis in every word, Wang Ti's eyes became more and more approving.

Wang Ting is only a few years older than Xue Dingshan, they are almost of the same generation, seeing that besides himself, Daqi now has many second generations of generals.

It is also a sincere belief that Qi Guo can conquer the world in the end, and it is getting stronger and stronger.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Teng continued to arrange spies to lurk near the camp of the Xiang family army, monitoring his situation at all times.

After a long time, Lingnan Governor Wang Xuance personally led the main force, and Wang Bao led the generals to meet him.

According to Wang Xuance, it turned out that he received Gao Qi's order to lead the main force to pursue Xiang Yu all the way, and then drove straight northward, and cooperated with Lu Xun to gain a firm foothold in the southeast of the river.

So that in the next step, the Qi army can reduce some unnecessary troubles when they attack Jiangdong on a large scale.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xuance also secretly discussed with the generals and formulated a plan specifically for Xiang Yu.

As long as there is no accident this time, Xiang Yu will definitely die if he cannot return to Jiangdong with his stunt!
······
Early the next morning, the spies returned in an emergency, reporting to Wang Xuance that the Xiang family army had left in an emergency, and retreated eastward at full speed.

Hearing this, Wang Xuance showed a gleam of joy on his face, and he said slowly, "The show has officially begun!"

After the words fell, Wang Xuance immediately ordered that the whole army set off and follow Xiang Jiajun all the way.

Seeing that the Qi army is gathering extremely quickly, it can be seen that the Qi army has long been ready.

After chasing Xiang Yu's army, Fan Zhongyan, the head of government affairs in Lingnan, also went all out, continuously supplying military rations in the rear.

Let the Qi army not have to worry about food and grass when they are fighting on the front line.

It is only said that Xiang Yu directly broke the boat in order to stimulate the morale of his own army when he came here.

However, there are no ships now, and it is impossible to evacuate directly across the Gan River in Nankang County. They can only choose to evacuate from the eastern coastal areas such as Longchuan.

It is conceivable that Xiang Yu must have been chased and intercepted by the Qi army all the way during the evacuation, and his escape must have been difficult!
If Xiang Yu was scuttling the ship at that time, if he could have predicted that he would not be able to break through the Qi army's defense line and open up the way to march south of the Lingnan.

Will it continue to burn the boat?

I don't know that Xiang Yu didn't regret it in his heart at this time.

However, at this time, Xiang Yu still showed his arrogant side, brandishing the Overlord Halberd and continuing to lead the retreat.

A few days passed, and Xiang Yu's army was on the way to retreat, but it encountered infinite resistance from the defense lines arranged in advance in various places where the Qi army was located.

With the fierce fighting along the way, the Xiang family's army has been reduced by more than half, and even two-thirds of the war cavalry have been lost, leaving only two thousand cavalry remaining.

At this moment, although the Xiang family army still broke through the Qi army's defense line.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xiang Jiajun was already hungry and exhausted at this moment, and his whole body was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Not only did Long Qi, Yu Ziqi and other generals suffer a lot of wounds, but even the brave Xiang Yu felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his eyes.

At this moment, Xiang Yu now understood that the Qi army had already been prepared to intercept his side along the way.

In fact, Xiang Yu's expectations were good. The enlisted soldiers who had been recruited from various places were dispatched from Jiangling to various places.

At this time, after the enlisted soldiers went to Jiangling secretly, Wang Xuance secretly transported the soldiers by sea to the rear of Xiang Yu's army and set up an ambush.

It is precisely because of the increase in military power that Xiang Yu Nahu is in such a mess!

This time, it can be said that Xiang Yu's most disastrous defeat since his debut.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu roared: "If I, Xiang Yu, don't die this time, I will definitely live with Qi!"

For a moment, with a black horse on his hips and the Overlord's Halberd in his hand, Xiang Yu couldn't help pointing to the sky and roaring loudly.

······
However, although Xiang Yu intends to break out of the siege, and then regroup, he will die with Qi State!

It's just that Gao Qi set up such a big game with his advisers this time, will it allow Xiang Yu to escape easily?

Ngee Ann County, Chaoyang City

Xiang Yu's army had arrived here at this time, as long as they could pass through Yi'an, they would be able to set foot on Jiangdong's territory, and the breakout would be declared complete.

Unfortunately, things backfired. At this time, a solid line of defense had already been set up near Chaoyang to block Xiang's army.

Its leading general is Lu Xun of the Lu Group.

Lu Xun had known for a long time that Xiang Yu was going to return to Jiangdong from Yi'an, so he sent troops here to set up an ambush to block Xiang Yu, hoping to encircle him with the Qi army.

Seeing this, Long Qi immediately asked Xiang Yu for a battle, and then led a strong attack, preparing to break through his defense line.

However, a small general from the rebel army came out and formed a group with Long Qie. They fought dozens of rounds, but Long Qie was defeated!

Xiang Yu shook his head secretly. How could there be a young general who could even draw with his number one general?

In Chaoyang's trap, can Xiang Yu escape and ascend to heaven?
