After a while, someone came to report: "General, a Qi army suddenly appeared behind us and cut off our retreat, and now the Qi army has completed the encirclement of our army, and we are surrounded." ”

"Got it." Tang Mo was unmoved, still looking ahead, and ordered: "Order, continue to attack forward." ”

At this time, although the Chu army had been surrounded by more than 100,000 Qi legions, it had also broken through nearly half of the defense line of the Qi army's array.

Tian Jia stood on the chariot in the middle of the phalanx, and saw that the Chu army had broken through one small phalanx after another, his face became ugly, and he was surprised by the combat power of the Chu army. Then, seeing that the offensive of the Chu army was becoming more and more weak, and the Qi army had surrounded the Chu army, the doubts in his heart became more solemn.

With such an elite Chu army, did he let Tang Yu waste here in vain?

Thinking about it, Tian Jia ordered again: "Order, let the two wings and the rear army strengthen the offensive against the Chu army, and they are going to eat this Chu army." ”

"No."

Just when the Qi army continued to strangle the Chu army.

Just when the Chu army had broken through two-thirds of the Qi army's front and was about to break out.

A scout came to Tian Jia's side and reported: "General, it's not good, the Chu army that has been killing about 10,000 people from the northeast is now less than fifteen miles away from us under the banner of Xiang Jun of Chu State." ”

"What?" Tian Jia was startled, and before he came, he hurriedly ordered to deal with it, and three more scouts came.

"General, the Duke of Chu Sha led 10,000 Chu troops to appear fifteen miles to the southwest, and they are killing us."

"Report to the general, the Song general Zang Xin led more than 15,000 Song troops to appear ten miles west of the battlefield..."

"Report to the general, the Song general Su He led more than 15,000 Song troops to appear ten miles west of the battlefield..."

A company learned that 50,000 troops were killed, although the number of Chu and Song coalition troops was still not as large as the Qi army, but Tian Jia saw that the Qi army surrounded Tang Yu was already too wide, and it was almost caught in its own battle, and there was also the risk of being attacked from inside and outside.

If it is divided by the Chu army, the risk of defeat is very high.

Until now, Tian Jiana didn't know that he had been calculated by Tang Yu.

Tang Yu's continuous charge before was completely deliberate, which was to use himself as bait to lure the Qi army to surround him, and then disperse the Qi army's forces to create conditions for the next reinforcement raid.

After thinking clearly about Tang Fu's plan, Tian Jia's mind spun rapidly, thinking about countermeasures.

Tian Jia's first thought was to send someone to intercept the reinforcements of Xiang Jun and Changsha Gong, and then eat the besieged Tang Wu first. However, after thinking about it, I gave up this plan again, and now the Qi army is too scattered, once the remnants of Zhong Lijun's army in the west and the Song reinforcements are killed, the Qi army will not be able to stop it at all, and it will be broken by the Chu and Song coalition forces.

If you don't send someone to intercept the reinforcements of the Chu State, then you can only retreat to the Chu camp.

The Chu army led by Tang Yu was still in the early 20,000s, and the defeated army led by Zhong Lijun was between 10,000 and 20,000, plus 50,000 reinforcements, plus the 30,000 Chu troops on the mountains on both sides of the Chu camp, the total was only a little over 100,000. The number of the Qi army was still larger than that of the Chu and Song coalition armies, and the Qi army also occupied two intact large battalions.

Therefore, although the current situation is worrying, the Qi army still has the advantage. As long as the main force of the more than 100,000 Qi troops here is not damaged, then he Tianjia can make a comeback tomorrow.

After thinking about it, Tian Jia immediately ordered: "Send the order to the three generals Ji Gong, Zhang Ding, and Li Fu, and say that the general will personally cut off the queen for them, and let them retreat in the direction of the Chu camp immediately, but they must not enter the Chu camp." Let them reorganize the army in front of the Chu camp, and then lead the army to meet the general, who intends to rely on the Chu army camp to defend. ”

"No." The scout received the order and immediately galloped away.

Then, just in case, Tian Jia ordered again: "Send an order to Tian Da in the Chu camp, so that you must hold the Chu camp." In addition, let Tian Da plan to abandon the camp, and once Ben will order the evacuation, be ready to set fire to the Chu camp to block the enemy. ”

"No."

"Order, let the 40,000 Qi troops surrounding the mountain each leave 15,000 people to block the mountain road and prevent the Chu army from going down the mountain, and then transfer 5,000 people each to the Chu camp to defend immediately."

"No."

"Orders to the Qi army of the embankment, Jean..." Tian Jia originally wanted the Qi army of the embankment to start storing water, and then use the river water to cut off the Qi army, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered Kuang Zhang's instructions when he left, and immediately changed his words: "Send someone to investigate the embankment to see if the embankment is still in the hands of the Qi army." ”

"If it is still there, stick to the embankment and continue to divert the river, so that the embankment cannot be drained. If the embankment has fallen into the hands of the Chu army, it will be reported immediately. ”

"No."

At the same time, the rout army gathered by Zhong Lijun has been reorganized by more than 10,000 people, and there are still about two or three thousand soldiers, and they are still in a state of not being able to find a general.

It's just that after Zhong Lijun learned that the reinforcements had arrived, he couldn't care so much.

Immediately shouted: "Order, reinforcements have arrived, beat the drums, attack, counterattack the Qi army." ”

As the war drums sounded, Zhong Lijun led a Chu army of less than 15,000 people to kill in the direction of Tang Yu.

After a short time, the Chu army led by Zhong Lijun was killed behind the Qi army.

At this time, the Qi army detoured back to the rear army in front, and had already received Tian Jia's order and was preparing to retreat.

When the lord Li Fu saw that Zhong Lijun had been killed, he immediately ordered: "After leaving 5,000 people to break off, the others will retreat." ”

At the same time, the left and right flanks of the Qi army also began to break away from the battle and quickly retreated back.

"General, Zhong Lijun led the army to help."

"General, the Qi army that is attacking our rear has retreated after leaving five thousand people behind."

"General, the Qi troops that are attacking our left and right flanks have withdrawn."

First, the Qi army behind him withdrew, and then the Qi army on the left and right sides also withdrew, and he got three good news in a row, and Tang Wu, who was commanding the Chu army to break through the Qi army frontally, immediately realized that when this happened, it must be Xiang Jun and their reinforcements arrived.

Thinking about it, Tang Mo ordered: "Order all departments, ignore the withdrawn Qi army, move forward, and first defeat the Qi army led by Tian Jia from the front." ”

"No."

On the other side, Tian Jia saw that the other three Qi armies had retreated, and saw that the Chu army was ignoring the evacuated Qi army, so he immediately ordered: "Pass the order, let the generals maintain the formation, fight and retreat, retreat to the Chu army camp, and rely on the camp to defend." ”

"No."

As soon as the Qi army withdrew, the Chu army, which was attacking the Qi army, suddenly found that the resistance of the Qi army had weakened.

The morale of the Chu army, which had originally declined because of the siege, suddenly rose again.

At the same time, Tang Yu in the formation found that the speed of advance had become faster, and when he looked up, he saw that the generals of the Qi army had retreated one after another, and he knew that the Qi army was retreating without the scouts in front of him.

So, he immediately shouted: "The Qi army is defeated, the Qi army is defeated, send an order, chase and kill the Qi army." ”

"No."
