Speaking of the battle of Lang Evil Cang, it was nearly three watches, and after a day and half a night of fierce fighting, the Qin army left nearly 10,000 corpses. Xiangzhuang's 20,000 Chu troops also suffered more than 10,000 casualties, basically losing their combat effectiveness.

Wang Wei saw that the time had basically come, and ordered the south gate and the west gate to pour crossbow arrows at the same time, shooting continuously for nearly two quarters of an hour, and there was only the "Chu army" hidden near the warehouse in the battlements, and the rest of the Qin army opened the west gate and broke through, and the troops of Yu Ziqi and Xiang Zhuang were not enough to surround the Qin army, so they could only quickly occupy the battlements, and sent someone to inform Xiang Liang to send troops to pursue the Qin army.

After Xiang Liang received the news of the withdrawal of the Qin army, he immediately transferred 20,000 soldiers and horses to go directly to the west gate and was led by Xiang Zhuang to pursue the Qin army, and he led the Chinese army into two batches, 50,000 soldiers and horses stayed outside the city and was led by Yu Ziqi, and he led 30,000 soldiers and horses into the battlements.

At this moment, it was already dark night, and the special "Chu army" in the battlements did not attract much attention from Xiang Liang, and they were urgently cleaning up this chaotic granary.

After more than an hour of tidying up, the Chu army that entered the Langxicang slowly arranged its defenses, and began to arrange rest and night patrols on the eve of dawn. Xiang Liang was nervous and tired for most of the day, and was lying down to rest, when he saw that the fire outside the tent suddenly became extremely bright, and he was also shocked......

General Xiang understood the layout of the Qin army like a mirror in his heart Soon after the fire broke out in the warehouse, rockets also appeared all over the place, although it was far away from Xiang Liang's big tent, Xiang Liang still saw those rockets that demanded his life.

He immediately ordered the whole army to attack and advance, and to join the army outside the south gate and outside the city, while beating the war drums as much as possible. Yu Ziqi also saw the rockets in the sky above Lang Xiecang, and then the extraordinary war drums rumbled, knowing that something was wrong, he immediately dispatched 20,000 soldiers and horses to personally lead the rescue of Xiang Liang, and at the same time ordered the officers guarding the camp to be ready to rescue at any time.

Wang Wei's "defeated army" was pursued by Xiang Zhuang, and it was considered to have run far (retreating to Langxie County), but Zhang Han and Mengzhi's "grain army" did not transport far, and at this moment a large amount of "grain and grass" was transported to the south gate of the battlements of Cangli.

The battlements of Lang Evil Warehouse were filled with the painful wails of being burned by fire, and it was chaotic. Xiang Liang led the army to be burned to ashes, and when he went out of the south gate, he found that there was wood blocking him less than a hundred steps, and the soldiers in front of him went over to see that it was firewood and hay.

Those soldiers were taken aback and hurriedly reported to Xiang Liang, and the sound of crossbow arrows also sounded outside the west gate, and "starry" rockets were also overwhelming in the air.

Xiang Liang was desperate for a while, and found that these rockets were not fired at him, but came down less than two hundred steps in front. However, when the rocket came down and saw the skyrocketing fire lighting up the night sky, Xiang Liang was completely desperate......

When Yu Ziqi led the army to a short distance outside the West Gate, he saw that the Lang Evil Cang was already in flames, and there was also a large fire ring outside the West Gate, and his army could not pass through it at all.

He knew from his intuition on the battlefield that the fire of the Qin army was to isolate himself from rescuing Xiang Liang in the past, and ordered the whole army to immediately extinguish the fire and approach the south gate, and at the same time ordered the rear army to come over to cover his rear and flanks.

Zhang Han and Meng Zhi found that the army of the Yuzi period was fighting fires in an orderly manner and strictly preventing sneak attacks, and their own army was short of crossbow arrows at the moment, so they went straight to the city of Langxie County according to the original plan......

Xiang Bo also saw the sky-high flames in the direction of Langxicang in Langxie County, but he couldn't judge the situation of the enemy and us at this moment, so he could only strictly order to guard the city.

After a while, a large number of troops appeared under the city, looking embarrassed, and the broken "Xiang" word flag, shouting to open the door into the city, Xiang Bo ordered the city gate guards to ask, the people under the city said: "The general encountered a fire attack and ambush, the whole army was defeated, please quickly open the door to welcome the general into the city." ”

Xiang Bo felt that these words were full of loopholes, and when he was about to ask again, rockets and crossbow arrows sounded in the air at the same time, and he also understood that it was the Qin army under the city.

Before he could give the order, Xiang Bo hurriedly hid in the arrow stack. The surrounding soldiers saw that the main general was hiding from the arrow stacks and quickly learned to hide, at this time, the crossbow arrows of the Qin army did not stop shooting, but they did not appear on the city, they all crossed the city.

Some bold soldiers probed out to take a look, and found that only the first batch of Qin army's crossbow arrows were shot at them, and the back were all disguises, and now the cloud ladders were hung outside the city wall, and countless Qin troops climbed up to the top of the city.

As soon as Xiang Bo saw that his thousands of soldiers and horses could not compete with the Qin army, he immediately organized an escape......

After nearly two hours, the hay and timber were cleared, and the army of Yu Ziqi finally reached the south gate at dawn, and also saw Xiang Liang, who was seriously injured under the protection of his own soldiers.

Zhang Han met Xiang Bo, who did not understand military affairs, and easily took over the city of Langxie County, and transported the grain and grass that had been transported to the city.

After a day and a night of repeated killings, the Qin army used the fire to burn Xiang Liang's more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and the Qin army also lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses due to defense.

The 30,000 soldiers and horses that Xiang Liang brought into the Lang Evil Warehouse were almost burned to death, and although he himself was loyally protected by his own soldiers, he was seriously wounded, but fortunately, his life was worry-free.

At noon, Zhang Han prepared to take advantage of the low morale of Xiang Liang's army, and planned to immediately go out of the city to encircle and annihilate Xiang Liang's defeated army.

Zhang Han was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly ordered the exhausted army that had been transporting grain for several days or after a day and a night of fighting to rest, and at the same time closed the city gate and prepared for defense.

Thirty miles away from Langxie County, Xiang Bo led the deserting army to meet Xiang Yu's army withdrawn from the west, due to Fan Zeng's assistance, Xiang Yu recruited troops on the road to grab grain and grass, and the army recovered to about 150,000. After learning about the situation in Langxi County from Xiang Bo, he immediately raised troops to surround Langxi County on all sides.

Zhang Han looked at the countless Chu troops that suddenly appeared at the head of the city, and he didn't say anything for a long time, thinking hard about how to retreat from the enemy.

It is said that Ziying and Ma Xing took the will of Fusu and Meng Tian's general shogunate sent a letter to Guguan to order Wang Li to go to Xingyang together, Han Xin was immediately ordered to hand over the defense to Wang Li, and arranged for Ma Xing to mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses to be responsible for the supply of grain and grass, and he ordered 30,000 soldiers and horses to march to Langxi County together with Ziying, Mengxin, and Ji Bu.

Han Xin and Ziying saw the tragic situation of the old Wei Kingdom and the old land of Korea being looted by Xiang Yu's army along the way, and they all scolded Xiang Yu's butcher for being cruel.

The benevolent Ziying ordered General Chuan Ma Xing to distribute part of the military rations to the people, and the people along the way were all overjoyed to receive Ziying's benevolence and kindness, and welcomed the Qin army.

Han Xin originally wanted to ignore the people, but seeing that the enthusiasm of the people delayed the march of the army, he suggested that the army change the route and strategy of the march, go out for two days day and night, avoid the people, and distribute military rations to the people to be carried out by the Ma Xing grain transportation team behind. In less than a month, he entered the old place.

Entering the Qi land, the route of Han Xin's army once again avoided the eyes of the people, and Ziying, who went out with the army for the first time, was tired at the moment, thinking that Han Xin would order the resumption of the daytime march, but Han Xin still ordered a secret march day and night, and was more cautious than before in the hometown of Han and Wei.

Ziying couldn't help but ask Han Xin for the reason. Han Xin replied with respect to this benevolent eldest prince: "Seeing the traces of the sacking of the Chu army along the way, it can be estimated that the Chu army is no less than 100,000 people, and our army is not enough to destroy the enemy. ”

Ziying didn't know much about military affairs, and he was relieved when he heard Han Xin's explanation, and said respectfully: "General Gaojian, Ziying has been taught!" The actions of the Great Army were all controlled by the generals. ”

Let's say that in the city of Langxie County, Zhang Han led more than 60,000 troops to defend the city, and Xiang Liang's army had already built the city very strong, but Zhang Han still ordered to strengthen the city defense every day.

Xiang Yu Fan Zeng and Xiang Liang's army rendezvous, more than 200,000 troops after a few days of rest, Xiang Yu was impatient to attack and take Langxi County, fortunately Fan Zeng dissuaded and Xiang Liang's forcible order to wait for planning.

Xiang Yu waited angrily for three days to finally attack the city, originally according to the plan, it was the main attack in the north, and the other three directions were assisted, but Xiang Yu ordered that it was attacked on all sides, and Fan Zeng couldn't dissuade him, so he had to let him go.

In Zhang Han's army, Wang Wei was attacked by Xiang Zhuang on all sides in Langxicang, and he had a lot of experience in defense and good scheduling, so that the two sides fought for two days and there was no change, the Chu army paid more than 5,000 casualties, and the Qin army suffered few casualties.

In the evening of this day, the two sides were preparing to stop today's battle, when suddenly Xiang Yu's exploration horse found that an army appeared in the west, with dense flags, and the word "Ying" on the big flag, and the dust behind them, it was not clear how many soldiers and horses there were.

Fan Zeng reacted immediately, this is the arrival of reinforcements from the Qin army, as for the words on the banner, there is no representativeness, used to confuse the Chu army.

Fan Zeng made a simple deployment and sent scouts to step up spying on the military situation. When night fell, the newcomer Qin army did not set up camp, but directly began to rumble the war drums and began to attack the west of the Chu army.

Xiang Liang dragged the sick body that had not yet recovered, and reluctantly sat in the big tent of the Chinese army to listen to the military situation. Fan Zeng told the movements of the newly reinforced Qin army, and except for Xiang Yu, the rest of the generals in the big tent were at a loss.

Fan Zeng thought that even the horses had not been able to find out in advance when the reinforcements would come, and the enemy situation was still unclear, so the camps had to be prepared and not allowed to attack, so as to respond to all changes without change and brake quietly.

The night gradually began to thicken, and the attack from the west was only the monstrous sound of drums and intermittent bow and arrow shooting, and there was no Qin's crossbow attack that was usually encountered.

When Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu were in the northern military tent to deploy tomorrow's siege and guard against the Qin army's reinforcements, Tanma suddenly came to report that a large number of Qin troops were secretly approaching the camp in the north, and the word "Ji" was on the flagpole, and they were frantically chasing and killing the Chu army's Tanma scouts.
