In fact, Zhou Yin really did not have a personal vendetta in the communiqué, and chose to send Xu Xun and other neutral generals to lead the army to attack, it was just a compromise method for the sake of the overall situation, not only to show goodwill to Xiang Guan's rebellious army, saying that he had absolutely no intention of using the power of the Han army to get rid of Xiang Guan's rebellious army, but also to preserve the strength of Zhou Yin's own lineage, and prevent Xiang Guan, who refused to show Xiang Yu's warrant, from playing any tricks.

But it's a pity that Zhou Yin forgot to consider the feelings of the neutral faction of the Western Chu Army, because he was afraid of the blood relationship between Xiang Guan and Xiang Yu, he did not help Zhou Yin when the mutiny broke out, Xu Xun and other neutrals of the Western Chu Army were beating the drum in their hearts, and Zhou Yin ordered them to go out of the camp and fight with the Han army in the field to cover the retreat of the Qi army to the camp of the Qi army.

It is precisely because of this that after receiving Zhou Yin's order to attack, Xu Xun, the general of the Western Chu Army, who was very high-ranking in the Western Chu official system, not only did not immediately follow the order, but on the contrary, sent his own soldiers to contact Xiang Guan, asking Xiang Guan, who openly fought against Zhou Yin, to make a decision - attack? Or not to attack?

Considering it from his own standpoint, Xiang Guan was of course suspicious again, extremely suspicious that this was Zhou Yin taking the opportunity to eradicate his potential help and deliberately weaken the army strength loyal to Xiang Yu within the Western Chu Army, so after just thinking about it for a while, Xiang Guan instructed Xu Xun's personal soldiers who came to ask for instructions: "Go back and tell General Xu to attack according to the order, but don't rush to join the battlefield, just make a mistake on the periphery, and if you see that the situation is wrong, withdraw to our camp immediately!" ”

Xiang Guan's decision, of course, made Xu Xun and other generals who were ordered to attack quietly relieved, not only deliberately grinding, it took a long time to prepare for the attack, but also procrastinating after leaving the camp from the west gate, refusing to rush to join the battlefield of the Han Qi army, just waiting on the periphery of the battlefield, ready to withdraw to the camp of the army at any time, not so much to cover the attack, but to march out of the camp to cheer for the Qi army.

However, the attack of the Western Chu army still had a certain effect, seeing them out of the camp, Wang Ling, the general of the Han army who bore the brunt of the attack, suddenly reddened his eyes, and had already let the army under his command launch a charge, unable to divide the troops to intercept the Western Chu army, so he could only rush to the front line with his horse, and personally led the army to rush into the battle formation of the Qi army, during which he also yelled continuously, "Strive forward, fight to the end!" Our reinforcements are coming soon! Fight with the Chu Qi thief army! ”

Seeing that the main general was so brave, of course, the soldiers of the Han army were more combative, one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, regardless of the tail, they just rushed to kill, frantically waved their weapons to greet the soldiers of the Qi army, and from time to time threw primitive grenades into the dense formation of the Qi army, using the violent explosion of the primitive grenades to disrupt the enemy's ranks, and took the opportunity to tear open the gap and enter the defensive circle of the Qi army.

Worm Da and Tao Xi were the same, seeing the Western Chu army out of the camp to counterattack, the second general of Worm Tao also had red eyes together, and rushed to the front line to lead the army to fight to the death, leading the Han army to storm the position and right flank of the Chinese army of the Qi army, and the mouth also shouted one after another, "Kill!" Kill! Fight with the thief army! Our reinforcements will arrive soon, don't care about the back, let's kill the thief army of Qi first! ”

The reaction of the Qi army was diametrically opposite, seeing that the friendly army finally came out of the camp to respond, the commander of the Qi army, who was in a hurry to retreat, was even more unwilling to fight, even if he had a local advantage in troops, and had the advantage of fighting in formation, Tian Bu refused to order a counterattack, just let the troops under his command fight in formation, covered his head and let the Han army hold down and beat wildly, patiently just waited for the Western Chu army to charge, temporarily entangled the Han army for the army, and then retreated with Mingjin.

It's a pity that after gritting his teeth and working hard for a long time, the Qi army not only never waited for the Western Chu army to launch a charge, on the contrary, the Han army's backup army was getting closer and closer to the battlefield, and seeing that another unknown number of Han army rear army was coming, Tian was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and he kept yelling, "What is the Western Chu army doing?" What are you doing? Why not charge yet? Why don't you catch the army of thieves for us? ”

At this time, it was found that the situation was not right, Zhou Yin had also sent someone to contact Xu Xun, asking Xu Xun to immediately launch a charge and entangle the Han army on the battlefield, Xu Xun did not dare to disobey Zhou Yin's order too much, so he could only urge the army to step forward and trott close to the left wing battlefield of the Qi army that was fighting fiercely.

made Zhou Yin dumbfounded, and also made Tian be vomiting blood, just a little contact, Xu Xun and other troops of the Western Chu Army with good combat effectiveness immediately stopped, stood in place and fought with the Han army, and refused to work hard to entangle the Han army. Seeing this scene, the order of Ming Jin, who had already poured into Tianbe's mouth, did not dare to shout, so he could only curse with red eyes, "Is it the army led by the horseman?" Are you at war with the thieves, or are you pretending to be with the thieves? ”

"Kill!"

After a little delay, the follow-up Han army had arrived at the scene, seeing that the situation on Wang Ling's side was critical, and the Han army who arrived later didn't even have time to sort out the queue, and immediately shouted and launched a charge, frantically killing to the left flank battlefield to reinforce Wang Ling, Xu Xun and other troops who had no fighting spirit retreated at a touch, and quickly retreated to the west gate of the army camp like a tide, and the West Chu Army West Gate Battalion Officer who had been greeted by Xiang Guan also immediately opened the door, and the West Chu Army rushed back to the camp, leaving the Qi army to continue to fight to the death outside the camp.

"A handmaiden's husband!"

The mad Tabe roared wildly, and was so angry that he almost immediately wanted to order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, but at this moment the Han army has been completely entangled together, and the Han army is like two strong men, not only hooking hands and feet to cross their feet, but also tightly biting the muscles of the other party's body with their teeth. So after forcing himself to calm down, Tian Bu grabbed the messenger who had contacted Zhou Yin before, and yelled at him with red eyes: "Go and tell Zhou Yin, if you don't send troops to cover our retreat, Lao Tzu will return to the camp and immediately break through with the army!" Let them fight the Western Chu army and the Han thieves by themselves! ”

The envoy rushed to the gate of the Western Chu military camp behind him, while Tian Bu looked up at the sky and yelled at the stars in the night sky, "Ancestors and ancestors of the Qi country! Bless your children and grandchildren. ”

"Beat the drums, attack! Kill the thieves and retreat! ”

The war drums in the flag array beat wildly, and the main force of the Qi army, which had no choice, could only shout and attack, launch a counter-charge to the Han army, and start a comprehensive decisive battle with the Han army that had already launched the charge, and the two armies of Han and Qi, which were close to 60,000, also moved forward separately, fighting wildly under the night sky.

On the side of the Western Chu Army, as soon as he saw that there was no order of his own, the camp officer of the West Gate opened the camp gate and asked Xu Xun and the others to return to the camp, and Zhou Yin already understood that the whole thing was all done by Xiang Guan - in the Western Chu Army, only Xiang Guan could do this, and only Xiang Guan had the courage to dare to do so. Therefore, before the envoy of the Qi army came to him, as soon as he saw the Qi army launch a general attack, Zhou Yin instructed his own soldiers: "Go and give Xiang Guan an order and tell him that he still wants to fight this battle, so immediately bring me his army, as well as Xu Xun and their army, and kill them to cover the return of the Qi army to the camp!" If he doesn't want to fight, just let him go, Ben Shuai has done his best! ”

Zhou Yin's personal soldiers quickly passed the order to Xiang Guan's face, Xiang Guan's face was gloomy and silent for a long time, and then he said to Zhou Yin's personal soldiers: "You go back first, I will have my own opinions in a while." ”

Zhou Yin's personal soldiers did not dare to disobey Xiang Guan's order, and immediately turned around and left, while Xiang Guan sat down on the spot, thinking cross-legged, "Do you want to attack?" Could this be Zhou Yinpifu borrowing a knife to kill people? ”

Xiang Guan shouldn't hesitate, because just when he hesitated, Uncle Zhou, the general of the Han army who was relatively close, had already led his main force to the vicinity of the battlefield, and hurriedly took a few glances at the battlefield, Uncle Zhou was dumbfounded, and said in surprise: "What's the matter?" There is no more chaos in the camp of the Western Chu Thief Army, and the Qi State Thief Army has also been entangled with us, why hasn't the Western Chu Thief Army sent troops to respond? They want to deliberately send the Qi State thief army to death? ”

Confused and confused, the most important thing at the moment is how to win, seeing that the self-army that fought fiercely with the Qi army did not fall behind, and fought evenly with the Qi army, Uncle Zhou made a decision with just a little calculation, and immediately divided the army under his command into two, one was handed over to Ling Jing to command, and let him lead the army to reinforce the decisive battlefield and impact the left flank position of the Qi army closest to the Qi army camp, one led by himself, ready to intercept the Western Chu army that might attack, and at the same time in order to ensure victory on the main force of the Qi army, Uncle Zhou also handed over the only more than 200 armor soldiers under his command to Ling Jing, and let him lead them to join the battle with the Qi army.

At this time, seeing that reinforcements from the Han army had arrived, Xiang Guan also made up his mind, and said with a blushing face: "It's useless to attack, let the Qi army break through and return to the camp by itself." Send people to contact the generals of the army, and let them guard their camps, and accept my command instead. Pang Yan, you lead the people of the headquarters and are responsible for monitoring the camp of the Chinese army, if there is anything abnormal in Zhou Yin, resolutely kill him! ”

Xiang Guan's decision of course delayed the defeat of the Western Chu army, but it completely pitted the poor Qi army, which was originally only a second-rate army, and its combat effectiveness was inferior to that of the Han army and the Western Chu army. Gradually, only the ability to parry remained, and there was no power to fight back.

The Han army Ling Jingsuo, who was finally put into the battlefield, became the last straw that crushed the camel of the Qi army, and opened the way with the heavy armor soldiers wearing steel armor all over the body, and the new force of the Han army had just entered the battlefield, and immediately set off a bloody storm on the battlefield on the left flank of the Qi army. Overwhelming. The Qi soldiers not only have a huge generation gap with the Han army's heavy armor soldiers in terms of weapons and equipment, but also have a decline in physical strength after a long battle, how can they withstand the fierce impact of the Han army's heavy armor soldiers?

Then, the heavy armored soldiers of the Han army were like a red-hot knife stabbed into cheese, unstoppably tearing a huge gap in the crowd of Qi troops, and directly rushed to the banner of the main general of the Qi army who commanded the left wing of the Qi army, and then the flag of the Qi army that was targeted by the heavy armored soldiers of the Han army quickly disappeared, and the Qi soldiers who lost their command also rushed to the direction of the camp of the self-army like a tide, and the screams were endless, "We lost!" Run! We lost! Run! ”

Once the dominoes fell, they could not be cleaned up, the left wing of the Qi army had just collapsed, the Qi army on the Chinese army position was affected, and countless soldiers immediately joined the escape team, after the Han army took advantage of the situation to strengthen the attack, the Qi army on the Chinese army position could no longer support, and it completely collapsed in a blink of an eye, and the chaotic crowd surrounded the Tian be, who was still the heart of the army, fled eastward, and Tian Bu continued to roar and roar in the escape, scolding the Western Chu friendly army who died in the self-army, and also swore that as long as he eased his breath, he would immediately retreat and break through with the Qi army. Don't care about the life or death of the Western Chu Army!

Then, the right wing Qi army closest to the Qi army camp also collapsed, scrambling to flee to the camp of the own army, but unfortunately, the Han army Lu Kuang's department that attacked from Julu City had already formed a formation to guard their way back to the camp, and when they saw the defeated soldiers of the Qi army fleeing, they immediately shouted up, rushed to intercept, like chopping melons and vegetables, and frantically slaughtered the defeated soldiers of the Qi army who fled for their lives.

Seeing that the situation is not good, the Qi army rear army in the Qi army camp has no choice but to open the camp door to receive their own defeated soldiers back to the camp, but the Qi army defeated soldiers who fled in a hurry are too many, it is difficult to see in the dark night, the Han army is chasing and killing tightly, in the chaos, there are many Han soldiers who are wrapped in the defeated soldiers of the Qi army, and directly rushed into the Qi army camp.

"Huh? How did we get in? ”

In fact, many Han soldiers still chased the enemy and rushed into the Qi army camp, only to find that they had rushed into the enemy camp that they had to rely on the ants to fight hard to enter. And after coming back to their senses, these Han soldiers were of course unceremonious, and immediately used the torches in their hands and the bonfire in the Qi army camp to set fire to the camp tents, fortifications and baggage vehicles in the Qi army camp, creating chaos in the Qi army camp, and when the Qi army found out about this situation, everything was already too late, not only had nearly a thousand Han army soldiers rushed into their camp in chaos, but their outer camp was already on fire everywhere, and the sound of killing shook the sky everywhere.

"Close the camp gates! Don't let the thieves come in! ”

"Can't be turned off! The Admiral hasn't come in yet! ”

"Close the door! The thief is in! ”

"It can't be closed, we still have countless people outside!"

Similar contradictory orders came and went in front of the Qi barracks, and in fact, even if the rear army of the Qi army could not agree on it now, there was no way to close their gates, too many defeated Qi soldiers and Han soldiers had already crowded their camp gates, and it was difficult to insert needles in front of the camp gates, and it was difficult to get wet, so how could they be given the opportunity to close the gate calmly? The red-eyed Han army pursuers were either active or passive, and they were constantly mixed with the defeated crowd of the Qi army and rushed into the Qi army camp, and quickly accumulated a considerable force in the Qi army camp, becoming a sharp blade that stabbed into the hinterland of the Qi army.

At this time, Xiang Kang, the biggest boss of the Han army, finally led the main force of the Zheng Bu Corps of the Han Army to the vicinity of the battlefield, only a few cursory glances at the battlefield, Xiang Kang immediately went up to greet Uncle Zhou, who commanded: "The thief army of Qi is over there, leave it to you, the thief army of Western Chu, I am responsible, strive to take the camp of the thief army of Qi for me, and then free up my hands to help me!" ”

Uncle Zhou also knew that the fighter plane was rare, so he immediately left the offensive weapons brought with the army, and led the army under his command to rush to the Qi army camp, but when Uncle Zhou led the army to the scene, the camp gates of the Qi army camp were already crowded, and the soldiers were like ants, not to mention that Zhou Shujun took the opportunity to rush into the Qi army camp, it was difficult to get close to the camp gate, so Uncle Zhou also immediately made up his mind and shouted: "Suspend the advance, organize the queue, and wait for our front army to make a name!" ”

Worm Da and Tao Xi and other generals did not disappoint Uncle Zhou, and led the army to pursue, and found that there were already soldiers from the army who had successfully entered the camp of the Qi army, and Worm Da and Tao Xi and other generals also made a decisive decision, and shouted in unison and ordered: "Rush, rush inside!" Rush in with the chaos! Take down the Qi Thief Camp in one go! ”

Roaring, Worm Da and Tao Xi and other generals simply dismounted and walked, surrounded by the pro-soldiers, they struggled to impact the completely chaotic Qi army camp gate, under the command of their banners, the Han army soldiers also charged constantly, regardless of casualties and reckless rush to the Qi army camp door, although the defenders on the Qi army camp door have long been ruthless, indiscriminately at the dense crowd of arrows, but still still can not stop the surging crowd, dense Qi army defeated soldiers and Han army soldiers entered the camp one after another, completely turning the Qi army camp into a mess.

Not to mention, maybe a good person has a good reward, Tian Be, the commander of the Qi army, who has a good character, actually fled back to his own army camp in the chaos of the army, and returned directly to his Chinese army camp to take over the command of the Qi army's rear army, but this is already doomed to be useless, Tian Bu has just returned to his Chinese army commander's tent, and before he even had time to drink a sip of water handed by his own soldiers, there was a huge noise at the door of the Qi army camp, and then then, in the light of the fire, a crimson Han army flag, appeared in the outer camp of the Qi army.

"A thief general has rushed in with troops!"

This conclusion made the faces of Qi Junwenwu who were present pale, and Tabe was even more anxious to drink the water into his trachea, coughing and yelling: "Quick! Fast! Defend the camp of the Chinese army! Contact the generals of our outer camp and ask them to gather their troops and fight the thieves to the death! ”

"General, it's useless!" The Tabe Ai general Yu Ling, who had stayed in the camp before, stood up and said: "The outer camp has been broken, even if we temporarily hold the Chinese army camp, our army will suffer heavy losses, and we will no longer have the strength to resist the next attack of the Han thieves!" Now our only way is to take advantage of the fact that the Western Chu army can temporarily contain the main force of the Han thieves for us, and quickly break through and retreat, so as to keep part of our army! ”

Although he had already hated the unrighteous Western Chu Army to the bone marrow, and had vowed to abandon the Western Chu Army countless times, but considering the possible consequences of doing so, Tian was still extremely hesitant and said: "If we leave the Western Chu Army behind, the King of Western Chu will ...... ask about the crime in the future." ”

"Borrow the courage of the king of Xichu, and he will not dare to ask about our sins in the future!" Yu Ling said categorically: "The Zhao State is over, the vitality of the Western Chu army is greatly damaged, and if you dare to ask us about our crimes, it will only push our king to the side of the Han thieves, and the king of Western Chu will not fail to weigh this consequence!" Only by keeping our army and leaving us some vitality will we have the capital to speak in front of the king of Western Chu and the Han thieves! At that time, whether it is Xiang Yu or Xiang Kang, they will only try their best to win us over, and will not force our King Qi to a dead end! ”

Tabe, who was still a bit politically minded, nodded slowly, and then asked, "Who is the queen?" ”

"Since it was proposed by the last general, of course, the last general would lead the army." Yu Ling replied with a very spine.

Tian was moved, stepped forward and hugged Yu Ling, and said in a low voice: "Good brother, you must come back alive." ”

Half an hour later, after hastily making some corresponding preparations for abandoning the camp and retreating, the Qi army decisively abandoned the self-army camp, which had no value to hold, and retreated at full speed towards the east. Seeing this scene, Uncle Zhou, who had never been in a hurry to join the battlefield, also quickly made up his mind, just ordered the general Yang Xi to lead the cavalry to join the pursuit, using the powerful mobility of the cavalry to intersperse detours, and help the already chaotic Worm Da, Tao Xi and Wang Ling and other armies to pursue the Qi army and expand the results, and he led the army under his command that still maintained the establishment to return to the battlefield of the Western Chu army camp and help Xiang Kang attack the camp of the Western Chu army.

"The Qi State thief army doesn't matter, even if they let some of them escape, they won't pose any threat to us. The Western Chu Thief Army is the key, whether we can crush the last hope of the Western Chu Thief Army depends on whether we can successfully take the camp of the Western Chu Thief Army tonight! ”
