"Listen to the dog thieves of Tyranny, your food route has been cut off, and you will soon run out of food, if you are smart, quickly lay down your arms and surrender! If you give Zhang Handpifu another life, it will be a dead end for you to keep all of you! ”

"Tyrannical Qin dog thief! Your food and grass have been cut off, and it will be a dead end if you fight again! Surrender, surrender! Surrender and spare you from dying! ”

"Your Puyang has been taken down by us! Tyrannical Qin dog thief, your grain and grass can't be transported, if you want to survive and surrender quickly, otherwise none of you will want to go home alive! ”

Dozens of Chu cavalry galloped back and forth in front of the Qin army's position, and similar shouts also rose and fell in front of the Qin army's formation, and vaguely heard the content of the Chu army's cavalry's shouting, the Qin army officers and soldiers were of course shocked, and then whispered, discussing in a low voice the truth of the news deliberately spread by the Chu army's cavalry. And after the situation was reported to Zhang Han, Zhang Han was of course pale, knowing that the young marshal army finally got in touch with the main force of the Chu army, and let the main force of the Chu army know the important military situation that Puyang had fallen.

At this time, Wang Li also came to Zhang Han on a horse, and after meeting, Wang Li was not polite, and said directly to Zhang Han: "General, I'm afraid the news of the loss of Puyang can't be hidden, and if it is delayed any longer, our morale will definitely be affected. ”

Wang Li's tone of speech to Zhang Han was extremely unpolite, the reason was that Wang Li was extremely unconvinced that Zhang Han, who became the general of Great Qin with the support of Li Si, had never shown due respect to Zhang Han since he joined Zhang Han, and Zhang Han also knew this, but he had been pretending not to know it for the unity of the army. This will be the same, in order to preserve the army as much as possible, Zhang Han still didn't care about Wang Li's disrespectful tone, and asked rhetorically: "In the general's opinion, what should we do about it?" ”

"Resolutely return to the army to fight to the death, first kill the Chu thieves and chase the soldiers, and then cross the river to the south!" Wang Li replied directly.

"I'm afraid it's useless." Zhang Han shook his head and said: "The Chu thieves already know that our grain route has been cut off, and they will definitely not fight with us head-on, seeing us return to the army for a decisive battle, they will definitely temporarily retreat to preserve their strength, and do not give us the opportunity to fight a decisive battle, the time has been delayed for a long time, and the other thief armies have received the news and went south to help in the war, and it will definitely be more difficult for us to retreat." ”

"Then we can't do nothing, just mess with the Chu thief, right?" Wang Li was even more polite, and said: "Otherwise, while we will divide an army to the north to expel the Chu thieves, we will seize the time to cross the river, and wait for the main brigade and the grain and grass to safely withdraw through Zhangshui, and then withdraw the army going north to cross the river." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Han nodded helplessly and said, "That's the only way, General Fulao, you will send 50,000 troops to the north to expel the Chu thieves and give us time to cross the river." ”

Wang Li agreed, but he didn't even salute, and immediately patted his horse back to the battle to send the army back to the division to fight, while Zhang Han swallowed his anger and immediately began to arrange for the main force of the Qin army to rush across Zhangshui.

In a short time, under the dispatch of Wang Li, the 50,000 Qin troops in the Great Wall Corps came out under the leadership of Su Jiao, the general of the Qin army, and slaughtered the main force of the Chu army in the north. And after this situation was reported to Xiang Yu, the generals of the Chu army suggested that they should retreat for the time being to avoid the edge of the Qin army, and then carry out a counterattack after the main force of the Qin army withdrew from Zhangshui in large numbers, and the surprise attack must cross the rear team of the Qin army to the south, but Xiang Yu, who had the bottom in his heart, categorically refused, and shouted: "You can't withdraw, resolutely face the battle!" Only by defeating the Tyrant Qin's northward division of troops can we seize the opportunity and hit the main force of Tyrant Qin even harder! ”

After drinking, Xiang Yu immediately ordered someone to wave the flag, and ordered the main force of the Chu army, which was less than 50,000, to set up a cone formation conducive to the attack on the spot, so that Yingbu, who was similar to his spleen and stomach, led the army as the tip of the cone, and the two generals Huan Chu and Ji Bu were on the two wings, and regardless of the dissuasion of everyone, he insisted on arranging his command flag array behind the front team of Yingbu, ranking in the second team of the whole army, so as to lure the Qin army to attack the cone tip of the Chu army, and it was also convenient to lead the main force of the Chu army to advance forward.

The speed of the Qin army's northward movement was very fast, and the Chu army had just set the battle array, and the 50,000 Qin army led by Su Jiao had already gone north to the nearest place, but when he saw that the Chu army was actually lined up in an offensive formation, and saw that Xiang Yu's handsome banner was in the second team of the Chu army, Su Jiao was immediately overjoyed, and said happily: "Okay, since the Chu thief is so arrogant, then we must not be polite!" Line up the phalanx and lead the Chu thieves to attack! ”

According to Su Jiao's banner command, the Qin army quickly lined up the mixed phalanx of infantry and cavalry that swept across the six countries, but before the Qin army could line up the formation, let alone before Su Jiao lured the main force of the Chu army to attack with a small force, Xiang Yu had already decisively ordered the war drums to be beaten, urging the main force of the Chu army to stride forward and directly impact the front of the Qin army's battle formation. Su Jiao smiled even more when he saw it, in addition to letting the soldiers of the Qin army in front of him suppress them with bows and crossbows, he also made the soldiers on both wings ready to attack early, so that they could detour back to the back of the Chu army's cone formation at any time.

The hideous smile has been continuing on Su Jiao's face, and in the dense rain of arrows like flying locusts, the soldiers of the Chu army who were killed head-on were constantly killed and wounded by arrows, and they were killed and wounded before they could engage with the Qin army, but Su Jiao's cruel smile soon became a little stiff again, because he soon found that although the Qin army's feather arrows were dense, the advance speed of the Chu army was not affected at all, and gradually changed from trotting to a fast charge, and at the same time, under the personal leadership of Xiang Yu, the soldiers of the Chu army in the rear team were not chaotic at all, and followed Xiang Yu's handsome banner and strode forward. Without hesitation, it directly impacted the solid front of the Qin army's battle array.

"Don't worry, since the Chu thief has taken the offensive, he must put the elite soldiers in the front team, and it is not surprising that the bow and crossbow can't defeat the Chu thief's front team, and when the elite of the Chu thief is exhausted in close combat, the Chu thief will lose." When Su Jiao comforted himself so quietly, the tip of the Chu army's cone had already hit the front of the Qin army's battle array, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing immediately rose into the sky.

After being subordinated to Xiang Yu's command, the Yingbu Department that was reused by Xiang Yu was like being reborn, and the combat effectiveness suddenly soared a lot, and the soldiers who were equipped with good armor and weapons were all brave and fierce, and they were not afraid of death when fighting, and they just rushed to kill desperately, although the soldiers of the Qin army also mustered up the courage to fight, but they still involuntarily retreated again and again under the crazy impact of the Yingbu army, and the neat horizontal team was forced to bend backwards, and the soldiers of the Chu army behind took the opportunity to keep up and exert more pressure on the Qin army's battle array.

At this time, he found that the combat effectiveness of the Chu army exceeded his own estimation and imagination, and Su Jiao did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly urged the two wings of the army to step forward, the left wing attacked the right wing of the Chu army's battle formation, and the right wing attacked the back of the Chu army's cone formation in a roundabout way. But it is a pity that the Qin army that attacked from the left flank unfortunately ran into another fierce general under Xiang Yu, Ji Bu, not only failed to break the right flank of the Chu army, but was also killed by Ji Bu's subordinates, with many casualties and rapid confusion.

The Qin army launched behind the cone formation of the Chu army was not as good as the equipment of the British army, although they encountered the Chu army Liu Laosan's troops were not as well-equipped as the Yingbu army, but Liu Laosan's army was notoriously united and tenacious, and it also blocked the impact of the Qin army to the death, and the formation was not chaotic, and while fighting it maintained common action with the main brigade, it continued to advance south under the leadership of Xiang Yu.

The battle at the tip of the cone became more tragic and bloody, in the fierce battle, the soldiers of the Chu army followed one after another, fiercely brandished their weapons and stabbed the enemy on the opposite side, even if they were injured, they refused to take half a step back, blood continued to splash, and the soldiers kept falling to the ground, although the soldiers of the Qin army struggled to support, they still could not stop the tip of the Chu army's cone from constantly advancing towards the inside of their battle array.

But even so, Xiang Yu still refused to be satisfied, and still felt that Yingbu's advance was too slow, so he simply sent someone to the front team to contact Yingbu, asking if Yingbu's department needed to retreat temporarily, and Xiang Yu himself personally led the army to charge into battle, but Yingbu's eyes turned red when he heard it, and he yelled: "Go back and tell the former general that he doesn't need to do it himself!" I can't break through the battle formation of Tyranny Qin, I'll go back to see him! ”

After the roar, Yingbu jumped off the war horse, lifted the spear and rushed directly to the front line, and just stabbed two Qin soldiers as soon as he met with the Qin army, and rushed to the front with a roar, inspired by Yingbu's bravery, the already high morale of the Chu army soldiers was even more crazy, one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, spears and stabbing swords and axes, not to kill just to greet the weapons to the Qin soldiers, and in a blink of an eye, a gap was torn in the Qin army's battle array.

Seeing this scene, Su Jiao was of course even more frightened, in order to stop the impact of the Chu army, he just urged the army to step forward, but not only did this not have much effect, but on the contrary, it also caused the Qin soldiers to unconsciously extend to the two wings of the Chu army's cone formation, increasing the enemy surface, and the Chu soldiers in the back row took the opportunity to stab and kill wildly, adding more casualties to the Qin soldiers.

The fierce battle continued, the gap in the Qin army's battle array was getting bigger and bigger, the sun had just begun to set, and the Qin army's battle array had almost been torn in two by the Chu army.

Su Jiao's call for help was a little slower, and before the startled Zhang Han and the reinforcements sent by Wang Li arrived at the scene, the Qin army's battle array had been torn apart by the Chu army in two sections, and direct contact between the left and right had been lost. However, Xiang Yu refused to give up, and even left the Su Jiao army that had been torn apart, and urged the army to continue to advance, killing the Qin army that hurried to the rescue, and ordered Yingbu, whose physical strength had declined after the battle, to retreat for the time being, and personally led the army to serve as the tip of the cone, and continued to attack the enemy who came to help.

Xiang Yu's madness frightened the soldiers of the Qin army, seeing his handsome flag appear at the front of the Chu army, none of the soldiers of the Qin army, who had long been accustomed to the main generals of both sides hiding behind the back, and not suspecting that their eyes were wrong, and when Xiang Yu personally led the army to rush to the front, the heroic style of the overlord of Chu made the soldiers of the Qin army even more frightened!

"Who else?!"

A one-handed spear pierced the chest of a Qin soldier, Xiang Yu didn't even bother to take back the spear, and directly provoked the dead body of the Qin soldier, and directly smashed over three or four Qin soldiers, and then a spear stabbed out, and actually directly stabbed through two Qin soldiers, smashing their corpses left and right, smashing the Qin soldiers in front of him to the ground, breaking tendons and fractures, and screaming in fear, "Ghosts and gods!" The ghosts and gods have descended to earth! ”

Inspired by Xiang Yu's heroic style, the cavalry of the Chu army around him was also extremely brave, roaring and killing more desperately than one by one, like a raging fire sweeping across the grassland, unstoppable, and the Qin army reinforcements had no time to line up the battle formation to meet the battle, and met the world's first fierce general Xiang Yu personally led the army to rush into battle, and the rout was naturally far faster than Su Jiao's department, the sky was just slightly dark, and the 20,000 Qin troops who came to help in a hurry were killed by the Chu army and collapsed, and even the messenger for help was directly dispersed before they could send it. But Xiang Yu still refused to be satisfied, and even threw down the Qin army again, and continued to advance with the main force of the Chu army, rushing directly to the Zhanghe crossing.

At the critical moment, Zhang Han's calmness avoided the doom of the Zhanghe River because of the blockage of the dead bodies of the Qin army, and just received the news that the reinforcements were also defeated by the Chu army, Zhang Han, who had withdrawn from Zhangshui with his direct army, immediately threw down the army, and returned to the north bank of Zhangshui with only a few followers, while ordering the Qin army to stop crossing the river, while letting the Qin army that had not crossed the river form a formation on the spot, lined up several formations to protect the ferry bridge, and met the main force of the Chu army that was quickly killed with a rain of fierce arrows. temporarily forced the Chu army to retreat temporarily, which did not give the Chu army a chance to directly break the Qin army at the ferry.

At this time, it was already dark, and without preparing torches and dry food in advance, all the generals of the Chu army advised Xiang Yu to temporarily retreat a certain distance, so that the soldiers of the Chu army could rest for a while and prepare torches for night battle, and then launch a surprise attack when the Qin army continued to cross the river. However, Xiang Yu flatly refused and shouted: "Fighters are rare, and they can't retreat!" Form a formation on the spot and see who can outperform whom! ”

Unable to resist Xiang Yu's temper, more than 40,000 Chu troops could only form a formation on the spot only a few miles away from the Qin army, and continued to confront the Qin army with almost no torch lighting. We can't tolerate it, we have to take the initiative to attack and kill this gang of Chu thieves! ”

"Can't take any chances!" Zhang Han finally didn't give Wang Li face this time, and flatly refused: "The Chu thieves are fighting in formation, once our army can't quickly break through their formations and are dragged into the melee, and the other thieves suddenly kill again, our losses will only be even more heavy!" ”

"What then?" Wang Li asked unconvinced: "If we continue to consume like this, when other thieves come to kill, won't we still suffer heavy losses?" ”

"You have to use your brains to fight." Zhang Han coldly rejected Wang Li, and then instructed his own soldiers: "Go to the south bank to give an order, let our soldiers who have crossed the river push some of the baggage vehicles into the upper reaches of Zhangshui to temporarily block the river!" ”

The herald took the order and left, and Zhang Han said to Wang Li: "You can rest assured now, right?" Confront the Chu thieves first, and when the river is temporarily blocked, we can quickly cross the river, I will personally lead the army to the palace, and you will withdraw with the brigade first, so that we can protect our soldiers more. ”

I didn't expect Zhang Han to have such a handful of Wang Li to shut up, and he was a little convinced by Zhang Han, but unfortunately, after the Qin army began to block the river, the news was just reported to Xiang Yu by the scout, and Xiang Yu decisively ordered: "Order the whole army, beat the drums and march, and attack the tyrannical Qin army head-on!" ”

"Former general, wait a little longer, our reinforcements are likely to arrive soon." Feng Zhong next to him persuaded.

"Shut up!" Xiang Yu shouted and said, "The Tyrannical Qin army is already blocking the river, and when they temporarily cut off the Zhangshui River, we will have no chance to annihilate the enemy on the north bank!" Offensive! Resolutely charge the battle at all costs! ”

Unable to parry Xiang Yu's obscenity, the tired and hungry soldiers of the Chu army were forced to be helpless, so they could only attack again under the faint light of the stars and moon, and hit the dense array of the Qin army head-on, and rushed to the close place against the dense arrow rain of the Qin army, and started a close battle with the Qin army.

At this time, the Qin army on the north bank that had been dispersed before also returned to the vicinity of the ferry under the leadership of Su Jiao and other generals, and had the courage to join the battlefield again, and joined forces with the Qin army guarding the ferry to attack the main force of the Chu army, but Xiang Yu was not afraid, and fought bravely with the main force of the Chu army, patiently waiting for the moment when the Qin army had to cross the river and flee south.

This moment was finally waited for by Xiang Yu, when it was close to the second watch, the light in the distance to the north was first brightened, and then the light of the torches became clearer and clearer, proving that there were other anti-Qin righteous divisions that were coming quickly, although the first to arrive was only the army of Tian An, the rebel general of Qi State, and the combat effectiveness was not strong and there were only more than 10,000 troops, but after discovering this, Su Jiao and other troops who had been killed by Xiang Yu before were first panicked, and the offensive that was not very strong immediately slowed down, and countless soldiers probed their brains, trying to look at the current flow of the Zhanghe River, The morale of the Chu army was immediately boosted, and under the leadership of Xiang Yu, they rushed to kill more and more hard, and also killed the Qin army on the north bank even more frightened, and did not dare to stalemate with the Chu army again.

Finally, when the reinforcements led by Tian An arrived at the edge of the battlefield, the Chu army immediately shook the sky with joy, and the combat effectiveness suddenly broke out under the morale of the Qin army, but the Qin army suddenly shouted in unison, and countless generals and soldiers ran away, rushing to Zhangshui, and crossing the river with the river that had become much shallower to escape, Wang Li couldn't stop it at all, and had to rush onto the pontoon bridge to escape under the protection of his own soldiers, and Zhang Han, who had crossed the river before, hurriedly commanded the direct army to prepare for the battle, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Chu army and broke the Qin army on the south bank.

The battlefield was therefore completely one-sided, and in the deafening shouts of killing, the soldiers of the Chu army completely forgot about hunger and exhaustion, and with the faint moonlight lighting, they slaughtered the defeated soldiers of the Qin army like chopping melons and vegetables, stabbing countless Qin soldiers to death, and then smashing them into meat sauce, and the corpses of the Qin soldiers on the river beach and in the shallow water were stacked on top of each other, first floating all over the river, and then blocking the already shallow river again. However, the soldiers of the Chu army still refused to give up, and under the leadership of Xiang Yu, they crossed the river with water, and almost defeated the Qin army's palace team led by Zhang Han again, and forced Zhang Han to retreat south in advance, so as to avoid the flood of attacks of the Chu army.

On that day, the main force of the Chu army led by Xiang Yu created a miracle in a row, in the case of the disadvantage of the troops, but also in the case of extremely insufficient preparation, Leng is played an amazing record of three wins and one draw, and directly killed the Qin army with corpses all over the field, and the blood flowed, and the Zhangshui was not shed for a while, which severely damaged the main force of the Great Wall Corps of the Qin army, and also made the anti-Qin coalition forces that came one after another dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe the battlefield miracle created by the Chu army.

Then, as in history, after touting Xiang Yu's heroism with great reverence, the commanders of the anti-Qin coalition forces also willingly promoted Xiang Yu as the leader of the anti-Qin alliance, and took the initiative to express his willingness to join hands to oppose Qin under the command of Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu was triumphant, and accepted the persuasion of the princes with a few modest words, and sat on the throne of the anti-Qin alliance leader with infinite scenery.

But there are also discordant voices, at least Xiang Bo, who was sick yesterday, stood up and reminded Xiang Yu, saying: "Virtuous nephew, you can't let the tiger return to the mountain, you must strike while the iron is hot, immediately launch a pursuit, and capture Zhang Handpifu as soon as possible." Otherwise, if you let Kang Er get ahead of you and capture Zhang Handpifu, the position of the general of Chu State, it will be his. ”

Thinking of Xiang Kang, who was already stuck in front of him in advance, Xiang Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "If my brother can avenge my uncle with my own hands, of course I am willing to respect him as a general." However, if the Tyrannical Qin army wants to retreat to the Thorn Plain, it will have to cross the Huanshui, and we can't miss this fighter, and we must immediately launch a pursuit. ”
