The cavalry impact of the Jiuyuan Army was much stronger than that of the Zhao Army's flying cavalry, and in an instant, Zhang Er's troops fell in large pieces, and Li Zuoche immediately ordered the chariots of the Chinese army to line up and drive to the side of Zhang Er's army. Wang Xiao, the general of the Qin army, understood the method of chariot defeating cavalry, and led the cavalry to fight around the chariot array, looking for an opportunity to rush and kill the infantry troops on the periphery, showing a state of mutual attack and killing for a while.

Meng Xin saw all the changes on the battlefield in the Chinese army, and knew that the time for a decisive battle had come, so he drove Zhang Han's general banner and the 10,000 Jiuyuan cavalry of the Chinese army to the left flank and rushed to Chen Yu's large array.

The Qin army fell into a stalemate in the fight with the Zhao army, and suddenly saw that the main general banner was advancing to the left flank, and immediately boosted morale, and even the crossbow arrow array led by Zhang Han himself was only the archers who left the bottom line, and the rest also rushed up with long swords.

Li Zuoche saw the opponent's posture of a decisive battle, and also learned from Li Wen's formation, so that the spear and shield soldiers laid the same formation in Chen Yu's formation.

The two sides fought an unusually tragic decisive battle until dawn. Their respective military formations were scattered, and even Meng Xin and Li Zuoche exchanged a few swords on horseback, and both of them were cut by the other party, but fortunately their lives were not endangered.

Zhang Han himself was slightly injured, and he estimated in his heart that it was impossible to win, so he ordered the troops to be withdrawn. Li Wen, Wang Xiao. Meng Xin gathered closer to the predetermined place before the war, and counted that there were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left, of which there were still 10,000 Jiuyuan cavalry, and the Xing Infantry Army suffered heavy losses, and only more than 7,000 crossbow infantry troops commanded by Zhang Han were left.

Li Zuoche over there also Mingjin withdrew his troops, joined Chen Yu, Zhang Er, and Peng Yue, and counted the team, there were only more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, basically all of them were wounded soldiers, but fortunately, the chariot did not suffer much loss.

In this way, neither army was able to pursue the other, so they retreated separately. When Li Zuoche led the remnants of the army of 50,000 horses and returned to Julu (the temporary capital of Zhao), King Zhao went out of the city for thirty miles to greet him.

In their hearts, repelling the Qin army was a great victory, no matter what the cost. King Zhao was complacent, consciously stood firm, and celebrated for half a month.

Just when the Qin army and the Zhao army were fighting, the Jiangdong of the Chu State also started an incident. Xiang Liang took Fan Zeng as his military advisor, raised the banner of anti-Qin, and shouted the slogan of reviving the state of Chu. Xiang Liang has a nephew Xiang Yu who is infinitely powerful, as well as Zhong Liwu, Long Ji, Yu Ziqi and so on......

In the Xianyang Palace, Fusu (Jiuxiong) met with Zhang Han and other generals who had returned from the war, as well as Feng Zheng, who was ordered to be transferred back. At the military summary meeting, both Meng Tian and Wei Yi participated. In this battle, the Qin army lost 220,000 casualties and killed 370,000 enemies, and Meng Tian (Xiye) believed that the battle would be a draw at most.

He pointed out that the commanding generals did not give full play to the advantages of the Qin army, and did not combine the advantages of the Qin army's physical fitness, change the formation and distance in time, and concentrate their advantages to annihilate the enemy army.

In the end, Meng Tian also affirmed Meng Xin's ability to command the Chinese army for the first time, and ordered Zhang Han to continue to train the new army. The court decided: 1. Meng Tian personally led an army of 100,000 to continue to exterminate the remnants of Zhao, and Feng Zai led an army of 100,000 to attack the rebels of Xiangliang of Chu State; Li Wen, Wang Xiao, and Meng Xin followed Feng Zheng on the expedition. Second, Meng Tian led Han Xin, Ji Bu, and Xiao He to the expedition. Han Xin and Ji Bu served as captains in Mengtian's shogunate, and Xiao He supplied grain and grass.

After Li Xin received the requisition order, he went directly to Shangjun to take up his post, so that Wang Li successfully led the 50,000 Jiuyuan army to Xianyang. There are more than 400,000 slave troops in Lishan, and after half a year of training, they are already much stronger than the prisoner army on the last expedition. The two expeditions each took 100,000 troops, and the remaining 200,000 troops were led by Zhang Han.

The 20,000 Jiuyuan troops defending Xianyang were stationed in situ and stood by, and the two armies took 10,000 cavalry from the 50,000 Jiuyuan troops brought back by Wang Li, and the remaining 30,000 Jiuyuan troops were led by Wang Li to monitor the battle situation of Chu and support them at any time.

Before setting out for the battle, Meng Tian warned Zhang Han based on the training experience of the Jiuyuan Army that in addition to training the military formation in peacetime, he mainly trained the soldiers' long-distance running ability, because most of the soldiers who suffered casualties in the rapid march were too large, and the soldiers did not have enough endurance when pursuing and retreating. Zhang Han acted according to the plan.

In the spring of 208 BC, Feng Zheng's army marched out of Wuguan to Nanyang, and received a report that the Xiang Liang rebels had moved north to Jiujiang in the direction of Yingchuan. The Qin army diverted to Wuyang and then continued eastward, preparing to find the main force of the Chu army and annihilate it.

The Chu army was divided into two routes: 300,000 on the one road, led by Xiang Yu, Fan Zenglong, and Zhong Liwu, and went straight to Yingchuan County; 100,000 all the way, led by Xiang Liang and Yu Ziqi, went north directly from Huiji and pretended to go to Jiujiang, and then turned around and went straight to Langxie County, the hometown of Qi, to snatch the Langxie granary.

Feng Zheng's army marched less than fifty miles east from Wuyang when he received the news that the Tanma Express was less than thirty miles away from the rebels of Chu State. In view of the fact that Zhang Han did not give full play to the lessons of the Qin army's battle formation and rapid movement last time, Feng Zai decided to face the enemy army in a mobile formation.

Therefore, Feng Zai ordered Meng Xin to lead the 5,000 Jiuyuan cavalry to lure the enemy, Li Wen and Wang Xiao respectively led the left and right wings of the infantry army to wait for the opportunity to surround the enemy's prominent military formation and annihilate the enemy.

Over there, Xiang Yu divided the army into three teams, led by him, Long Ji, and Zhong Liwu respectively, marched together and directly charged the Qin army.

Fan Zeng hurriedly stopped: "The young general must not fall into the trap of the Qin army, the Qin army is good at military formation, we must not divide the army and advance together." Ke Ling Long and the first team, the second team of the major general, and the third team of Zhong Liwu, tore apart the Qin army from the middle and rushed to kill, regardless of the two wings. ”

As soon as Xiang Yu heard that it made sense, he personally led the first team, Long He led the second team, and Zhong Liwu led the third team to directly rush to kill. When the two armies of Qin and Chu encountered, Xiang Yu waved his spear in anger and ordered the whole army to rush and crush.

Mengxin was originally to lure the enemy deeper, but he couldn't beat it when he saw the formation, so he turned around and ran away after releasing a round of bows and arrows. Long Ji saw that Xiang Yu's former army began to rush and kill, and he quickly urged everyone to follow quickly.

After Mengxin retreated to the Chinese army, Feng Zheng immediately ordered the 60,000 infantry and crossbow arrow arrays of the Chinese army to alternately cooperate with the formation to meet the enemy. Xiang Yu took the hatred of his grandfather being killed by the Qin army, with red eyes, and led the army to pounce on the Qin army's position.

Feng Zheng had already arranged the military formation, so the spear and shield soldiers of the infantry army resisted fifty steps ago, and the crossbow arrows behind kept pouring into Xiang Yu's army array.

The first team immediately retreated after shooting two rounds, and the second team went up again to continue shooting, Xiang Yu's army was suppressed, and he couldn't rush up for a while. This situation made the furious Xiang Yu even more furious, so he personally straddled the black cone horse, carried the overlord gun, and rushed towards the Qin army in the rain of arrows.

The distance of two hundred steps was in the blink of an eye, and Xiang Yu's invincible advantage in the world was reflected, dozens of people from the Qin army surrounded and killed, and he picked up the spear, and killed it in more than a dozen rounds, so that the archers of the Qin army after fifty steps were stunned!

The momentary stagnation of the arrow allowed Xiang Yu's follow-up troops to rush to the front of the formation, so that the two armies collided together and began to fight hand-to-hand.

The battle array was torn open, which Feng Zheng didn't want to see, so he hurriedly waved the command flag, and let the left and right flanks kill Xiang Yu's army from the side.

Long Ji's second team also arrived, and they all rushed forward to kill, they didn't quite understand the flank encirclement attack on the two flanks, and the whole army was fierce and fierce, slashing and slashing wantonly.

Meng Xin's army in the Chinese army soon discovered this unexpected situation, his left and right flank army formations could not achieve the expected effect of encircling the Chu army, and the Chinese army was losing and retreating, and it was almost impossible to withstand the impact of the Chu army.

Therefore, Meng Xin suggested that Feng Zheng use the Jiuyuan cavalry to cover alternately, and the whole army retreated into Wuyang City, and then made a retreat strategy for the enemy. Feng Zai allowed and ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Seeing that the Qin army was about to be killed and collapsed by himself, but the Qin army suddenly withdrew, how unwilling Xiang Yu was! Immediately led the army to desperately chase and kill, but the Jiuyuan cavalry was well-trained, advanced and retreated freely, alternately covered, only Xiang Yu alone could chase and kill, and his troops could not catch up at all.

Xiang Yu was brave and invincible, and the Jiuyuan Army had no choice but to do it, Xiang Yu's cavalry chased to the foot of Wuyang City, and had no choice but to retreat. In this battle, Feng Zheng's army was defeated, but calmly retreated, and the battle ended.

————————————————————————

After Meng Tian's army arrived in Shangdang, Han Xin recommended himself that the 10,000 Jiuyuan cavalry broke away from the main army, marched at full speed, and attacked the camp of the Julu Zhao army in a surprise way, thus annihilating the Zhao army in one fell swoop.

Meng Tian is a famous general whose ability to command the army is no less than that of Wang Qian, and he immediately understood Han Xin's intentions, so he allocated 10,000 Jiuyuan cavalry to Han Xin and set off immediately.

The 50,000 infantry army was led by Meng Tian, and the lightly armed Jian secretly followed Han Xin's cavalry. Wang Wei, Ji Bu, and Meng Zhi led 50,000 infantry troops under the banner of Meng Tian, disguised as 100,000 troops, and advanced to Handan according to the route that Zhang Han had previously marched to.

Julu's Zhao court was still immersed in the joy of the "great victory", but Li Zuoche was worried day and night, he knew that the Qin State would not stop there, and the counterattacking army would be more ferocious. Moreover, the last time he faced against him was only a partial division of the Qin State that had just become an army, not the main force of the Qin army, if it was Meng Tian who led the army, he might be defeated.

This is not worried about what to come, Tan Malay reported that Meng Tian led the army to the Shangdang area, and arrived in Handan in a few days. It was the day of the early dynasty of King Zhao.

King Zhao's heart was happy and ready to listen to the praise of the ministers. The noisy hall in the past was actually quiet, and Prime Minister Li Zuoche, who did not come to the court for half a month, came to the court. King Zhao was even more happy, and was about to greatly praise Li Zuoche by the way, thanking him for his contribution to saving the country.

After a salute, before King Zhao could speak, he saw Li Zuoche coming out of the ranks, and arched his hand and said: "My king, according to the report of the Malays, Meng Tian of the Qin State led an army of 100,000 troops, which has crossed the boundary of the Shangdang Territory, and will arrive in Handan in a few days." ”

As soon as Li Zuoche's words fell, the hall trembled. Zhao lost more than 300,000 troops before the Qin army was driven away, and now another 100,000 Qin troops have been killed, and the general of the unified army is Meng Tian, looking at the world, who is Meng Tian's opponent?

King Zhao was trembling, he had no idea for a while, and everyone was at a loss.
