Chapter 340: The Battle of the Yellow River

He Jin led 300,000 Han troops and quickly entered Xiaopingjin with confidence.

In He Jin's opinion, with less than 50,000 troops in the Yellow Turban, how could he be the opponent of his 300,000 army, let alone a head-to-head confrontation.

It's just that God made a joke with He Jin and Dahan, so that He Jin ran into Xiang Yu, an opponent he would never be able to defeat.

At the beginning, He Jin was also suspicious of Xiang Yu's initiative to seek battle.

After all, Xiang Yufang was at a disadvantage, and it was too strange to take the initiative to fight at this time.

However, at present, it would be a pity to give up the fighter like this, and the number of the Han army is more than six times that of Xiang Yu's army.

In the face of absolute strength, all intrigues and tricks are useless.

With this thought, He Jin decisively marched out of Xiaopingjin and came to a decisive battle with Xiang Yu.

As soon as the two sides fought, the fight was extremely fierce, especially the fighting session was wonderful.

In terms of generals, Xiang Yu's army has generals such as Xiang Liang, Fang Jie, Wang Bodang, Liu Heimin, Wang Renze, Liu Zongmin, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Chu Feiyan, and of course, Xiang Yu himself.

And the lineup of the Han army is not much inferior, including Fan Xu, Zhou Bo, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, etc.

This time the fight was earth-shattering, and more than 20 generals fought to the death, and its excitement was no less than that of the Tiger Prison Pass.

Xiang Yu did not participate in the fight at the beginning, so the yellow turban was at a disadvantage in the early stage.

After several generals were killed in battle, Xiang Yu finally went to war and turned the tide.

After quickly killing several Han generals, Xiang Yu was besieged by the joint efforts of Fan Xu, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Yan Liangwen, and Chou.

However, the five of them tried their best, but they could only fight to a draw with Xiang Yu, if it weren't for the fact that Xiahou and Yan Wen still had combined attack skills, they might still be killed by Xiang Yu.

He Jin saw that the situation was not good, so he commanded the army to press, and the two sides directly engaged in a decisive battle.

The Han army is not without capable people, although He Jin delegated power to his subordinates to use it at will, but he was not the commander in the end, so there were flaws in command.

However, Xiang Yu's legion command ability was revealed.

Xiang Yu, who is a basic commander of 95 (not at the peak), has reached an astonishing 99 under the increase in skill breaking.

Xiang Yu, who commanded 99 troops, commanded less than 50,000 troops, but he stubbornly blocked 300,000 troops.

Later, Cao Cao offered a plan, and Liu Ji (Liu Bang) Gongsun Zan sniped in the front, Yuan Shao and Sun Jian attacked on the left and right, and He Jin finally defeated Xiang Yu for the first time.

With the first time, there is also a second and third time...... However, although Xiang Yu was defeated one after another, he was defeated but not chaotic, and the army retreated to the Yellow River while fighting.

Under a series of big victories, He Jin became arrogant and no longer cautious.

On the other side, Xiang Yu suffered a series of defeats, and the infantry was completely lost, leaving only 30,000 cavalry arrayed on the south bank of the Yellow River, determined to fight against the water.

He Jin only felt that this was Xiang Yu struggling to the death, imitating the Marquis of Huaiyin to fight against the water, which was undoubtedly ridiculous in He Jin's opinion.

In October of the third year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (204 BC), Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin, led 10,000 newly recruited Han troops to cross the Taihang Mountains and attack Zhao Guo, a vassal state of Xiang Yu, to the east.

King Zhao and the general Chen Yu concentrated 200,000 troops and occupied the choke point east of Taihang Mountain, Jingchengkou, preparing to meet the battle.

To the west of the mouth of the well, there is a narrow road about 100 miles long, with mountains on both sides, and the road is narrow, which is the place where Han Shin must pass.

Li Zuoche, a strategist of the Zhao army, offered a plan: Defend the front without fighting, send troops to the back to cut off Han Xin's grain route, and trap Han Xin in the narrow road of Jingcheng.

Chen Yu didn't listen, and said: "Han Xin only has a few thousand people, thousands of miles away, if we avoid it and don't attack, won't we let the princes see the joke?" ”

After Han Xin found out the news, he quickly led the Han army into the narrow road of Jingcheng and set up camp thirty miles away from the mouth of Jingcheng.

In the middle of the night, Han Xin sent two thousand light horsemen, each with a Han army flag, and returned to the rear of the Zhao army camp from the trail to ambush.

Han Xin admonished: "During the battle, when the Zhao army sees that our army is defeated and flees, it will definitely go out to chase after our army, you quickly rush into the camp of the Zhao army, pull out the banner of the Zhao army, and erect the red flag of the Han army." ”

After eating some simple dry food, the rest of the Han army immediately marched towards Jingchengkou.

When they arrived at the mouth of the well, the brigade crossed the water and lined up the formation, and the Zhao army at the height saw it from afar, and they all laughed at Han Xin.

After dawn, Han Xin set up the general's banner and honor guard, and led the crowd out of the well.

Chen Yu led the elite of light horsemen to swarm out, wanting to capture Han Xin alive.

Han Shin pretended to abandon his flag and fled back to his position by the river.

Chen Yu ordered the entire battalion of the Zhao army to attack and approach the position of the Han army, and the Han army fought bravely because there was no way to retreat.

The two sides fought for a long time, and the Zhao army could not win, at this time the Zhao army wanted to retreat to the camp, but found that their camp was full of Han army flags, and the team was immediately in chaos.

Han Xin took advantage of the situation to counterattack, the Zhao army was defeated, Chen Yu was killed in battle, and the king of Zhao was captured.

The last battle is a desperate situation, a battle to the death for the way of survival, and it is a tactic of 'falling into the place of death and then living, and leaving the place of death and surviving'.

Han Xin used this method to defeat 200,000 Zhao troops with 10,000 Han troops, but not all of them were Han Xin.

He Jin thought that Xiang Yu had lost more than ten formations in a row, and the army had already lost all morale, and even if he was in a backwater formation, he could not inspire morale, so he ignored the advice of Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others, and had to defeat and capture Xiang Yu head-on.

However, how did He Jin know that the reason why Xiang Yu would lose sixteen battles in a row was just a strategy to lure the enemy deep into his heart.

Because of Qin Hao, Xiang Yu's plan was somewhat affected, so he could only take this risky method and sacrifice nearly 20,000 troops as bait.

Under the command of Xiang Yu, the 30,000 cavalry who were in battle resolutely fought to the death with the 300,000 Han army.

This battle can definitely be said to be earth-shattering, its intensity is beyond everyone's imagination, and the water of the Yellow River, which will never change color, is dyed red.

In this battle, Xiang Yu led the overlord to defeat Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant head-on, and then drove straight to the main formation of He Jinzhong's army.

In order to stop Xiang Yu, the Han army formed a total of ten lines of defense, but they were still broken by Xiang Yu.

And when Xiang Yu rushed to a hundred meters away from He Jin, He Jin finally fled, which eventually caused the rout of the Han army.

Xiang Yu pursued all the way for nearly 100 miles, and did not collect his troops until he reached Xiaopingjin, and finally killed 100,000 enemies, captured 150,000, and killed dozens of Han generals such as Wu Zilan, Shi Ruisun, and Wang Zhong.

After the battle, of the 300,000 Han army, only 50,000 remnants of the army retreated to Xiaopingjin.

Behind the big victory in this battle, the Yellow Turban's own losses are also huge.

In addition to the death of local generals such as Yan Zheng, Han Zhong, and Bian Xi, the balance characters also suffered a lot of damage.
