Chapter 590: Tomorrow Is the Time to Defeat the Qin Army!

The Chu army has cavalry, and they are not weak.

Although there is no way to compare with the most elite cavalry in Qin Dynasty, if the two armies are entangled together.

If a cavalry suddenly appears from the side, it will be extremely fatal!

Thinking of this, Zhao Lang quickly said to the big dog beside him,

"How are the preparations for the young army?"

The big dog replied confidently,

"Master, everyone has been prepared for a long time."

"Just as you said, the 'Justice' grenade and crossbow bolts were tied together."

"I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to start a fire. With such a long distance and wind, our fuse may not be able to hold up."

"Besides, our crossbows are only enough to fire two rounds."

Zhao Lang frowned slightly. They only brought less than a hundred repeating crossbows in total. Two rounds were indeed not many.

After thinking for a while, he replied,

"The crossbows this time are only used against cavalry."

"The problem of ignition is not big. As long as one ignites, the others will also be detonated."

"You take the people and make them ready to attack at any time."

The big dog immediately nodded and left.

Zhao Lang said to the attendants at this time,

"Urgent report, sir, beware of the Chu cavalry!"

The attendants on the side quickly took orders and left.

Zhao Lang's actions shocked Hu Hai who was standing beside him.

"Brother Lang, are you saying that the Chu army still has a cavalry hiding in the dark?"

"These rebels are quite rich."

Cavalry is not something ordinary people can afford.

Zhao Lang nodded,

"Yes, I reported before that at the earliest time, Xiang Yu led the cavalry to attack hundreds of miles and then captured Dingtao."

"But in these two days of fighting, we didn't see any cavalry."

As for why the Chu army could afford it, Zhao Lang had some guesses.

Just look at how Chu Di, which was originally relatively wealthy, has become so poor in just two years.

Not to mention, almost all the nobles in Chu region are now contributing to the Xiang family.

Zhao Lang looked at the battlefield slightly nervously at this time. Fortunately, until both sides withdrew their troops again, no cavalry appeared on the Chu army's side.

It's just that today's battle time was obviously longer than yesterday.

Under the leadership of Xiang Yu, these Chu troops attacked extremely fiercely.

When Meng Yi returned to the camp, Zhao Lang hurriedly greeted him.

"Cover your head!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

After Meng Yi saluted, he continued,

"Your Highness, don't worry. I have already prepared for the Chu army's cavalry."

"There are two thousand halberdiers and shield soldiers on the side, and a thousand reserves. Together with the others, it is enough to intercept the opponent."

After hearing this, Zhao Lang felt relieved and said with a smile,

"I'm worrying too much."

Also, Meng Yi had fought with the opponent and suffered losses from the opponent. How could he not beware of the opponent's cavalry?

Meng Yi smiled at this time and said,

"His Royal Highness has never seen the Chu army's cavalry before. It is extremely rare for him to have such a defensive mind."

Hearing this, Hu Hai on the side couldn't help it and said with a bit of complacency,

"Thanks to this prince for reminding Brother Lang!"

Zhao Lang was used to Hu Hai's boasting, but he was indeed reminded by the other party.

Meng Yi on the side looked surprised and said,

"The prince is a great talent!"

"It's a small thing."

Hu Hai replied proudly, and then stood aside with his head held high in satisfaction.

After sending Hu Hai away, Meng Yi took Zhao Lang and others back to the camp and then said,

"Your Highness, the Chu army took the initiative to attack today, and the offensive was extremely fierce."

"The intention is to tire out our army, but the military reports from the outside have been unable to come in."

"I believe that the Chu army's major offensive should be launched in these two days."

Zhao Lang also nodded solemnly.

Seeing that Zhao Lang understood, Meng Yi said,

"But at this critical juncture, the food and supplies in the rear are also somewhat tight."

"I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Hu Hai can go to the rear to sit in front of me and ensure the army's food and supplies."

When Zhao Lang first listened, he nodded repeatedly, but soon he came to his senses.

Hu Hai on the side said at this time,

"Brother Lang, what Meng Shangqing said makes sense!"

Zhao Lang ignored him, showed a smile, looked at Meng Yi and said,

"Meng Qing, do you want me to run away from the battlefield?"

Meng Yi shook his head at this time and said extremely sincerely,

"I heard from His Royal Highness the Prince's sergeant that there is no distinction between high and low in responsibilities in the army, it's just that the responsibilities are different."

"And it's a common saying in the military that soldiers and horses should go ahead with food and grass before they move. Food and grass are also extremely critical."

"His Royal Highness is sitting at the rear, how could he escape from the battlefield?"

I have to say that it is indeed comfortable for a good minister to flatter him.

He suddenly changed from escaping in front of the battle to sitting in the rear.

Judging from what the other party meant, this battle was won, and all the credit goes to him, Zhao Lang.

If you lose, Meng Yi will take the blame.

Where can I find such a minister?

However, this also shows that Meng Yi does not seem to be sure of victory.

Also, as long as you are on the battlefield, no one can say that you will win.

The other party is just mature and prudent.

Knowing Meng Yi's painstaking efforts, Zhao Lang still shook his head firmly.

"Sir, I will advance and retreat with the army in this battle."

"And I also have a weapon that I must personally command."

The combination of the repeating crossbow and the 'Justice' grenade is really difficult for ordinary people to grasp.

Meng Yi wanted to persuade him again, but he really didn't dare to take this risk.

But Zhao Lang quickly said,

"Meng Shengqing, I can promise you that if the situation is really unfavorable, I will be the first one to ride away."

"You also know my skills. Most people are no match for me."

"And my guard Tianyi is not weak either."

Meng Yi was still hesitant. Considering Zhao Lang's temperament, how could he be the first to run away?

It's still possible to be the first to rush.

At this time, Hu Hai said carelessly,

"Meng Shengqing, don't worry, I will definitely take Brother Lang with me when the time comes."

Hearing this, Meng Yi immediately felt relieved.

When it comes to escaping, Hu Hai is still trustworthy.

Soon, the matter was discussed. After Zhao Lang left the camp, he looked in the direction of Pengcheng.

He had a hunch that he would inevitably have to fight with the opponent!

At this time, the Chu army camped in Pengcheng.

Xiang Yu listened to a messenger's report with a serious face at this time.

"Your Majesty, Longju, General Yingbu reports that the Qin army is marching towards Pengcheng crazily."

"All our troops stopped them, but suffered heavy losses."

Xiang Yu frowned and replied,

"Don't care about these losses, they must be stopped!"

"When I defeat the Qin army, I will naturally support them!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The messenger was ordered to leave.

Xiang Yu did not rest, but began to deal with various government affairs.

Fan Zeng was locked up by him, and he had to handle these matters personally.

Only then did he realize how complicated it was and could only look at the important things first.

He didn't care at all about minor problems in the transportation of grain and grass.

There is enough food and grass in the city for a month now, so don't worry.

And tomorrow is the time for him to defeat the Qin army! (To be continued) chaptererror();
