The biggest problem of the Han army's attack on the camp of the Western Chu army is that the location is too disadvantageous, and it is impossible to quickly and effectively put the attacking forces into the front line of the battlefield, even if it forcibly touches the camp wall of the Western Chu army, it must rely on a ladder to rush to the top of the fortress wall to fight, and the speed of investing troops is even slower, and the soldiers who can really engage the enemy in close combat are even more pitiful, and every step and every link are extremely disadvantaged.

In addition, the combat effectiveness of the Western Chu army is also a thorny problem that the Han army must face, even if the Western Chu army has been defeated in the Fenshui battlefield, and the Western Chu army has been defeated twice in a row on the Julu battlefield, which has severely damaged the vitality of the Western Chu army, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the combat effectiveness of the Western Chu army is still not negligible, even if the field battle is no longer the opponent of the two major corps of the Han army, but it is absolutely more than enough to guard the camp.

In the night battle, the difficulty of these problems faced by the Han army was multiplied, and the pre-war preparations were too hasty and short-lived, which led to the Han army's attack on the fortified means more single, and it could only rely on simple flying ladders to attack the fortress. The dimly lit terrain and unfamiliar terrain made it a greater loss in the face of the Western Chu army's fortifications, and the speed of putting troops into the front line of the battle was naturally slower. What is worse is that the Western Chu Army has seized the time to restore its establishment, and has generally accepted Xiang Guan's unified command, effectively giving full play to its local military and geographical advantages. The soldiers of the Han army, who had to rely on climbing to attack the fortifications, naturally fought more hard.

It is precisely because of this that the Han army's fortified affairs have always been unsmooth, even if the corpses of Qi soldiers and even seriously wounded soldiers were used to fill the camp trench of the Western Chu army without being humane, and several stable roads were opened up, but the soldiers of the Han army were still firmly blocked by the Western Chu army. In any case, they will not be able to occupy the position on the base.

As a result, the number of casualties among the officers and men of the Han army continued to rise, whether it was the officers and soldiers of the Zheng Bu Corps of the Han Army who attacked the south gate of the camp of the Western Chu Army, or the officers and men of the Zhou Shu Corps of the Han Army who attacked the east gate of the Western Chu Army from the side, all of them suffered huge casualties and heavy losses in the face of the strong fortifications of the Western Chu Army, and their morale and fighting spirit were constantly declining, and there was no hope of victory to break the stalemate.

On the contrary to the Han army, the West Chu army is more and more morale, the stronger the morale, fiercely wielding all kinds of weapons, stabbing and stabbing the Han soldiers who are difficult to climb one after another, smashing down the ladder with a hard top, and also killing the soldiers of the Han army who are difficult to be attached to the ants The corpses are all over the ground, and the blood is piling up, like a copper wall and iron wall, always standing in front of the Han army soldiers and soldiers.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Kang, Uncle Zhou and the others inevitably frowned, and they had to worry about whether they could take the camp of the Western Chu Army tonight. Xiang Guan, who commanded in the camp, had a cruel smile on his face, and shouted arrogantly several times, "The Han thief raised by the maidservant, if you have the ability, you will come again, and then send the army to attack the camp!" No matter how many comes, we'll let you die tonight! ”

"Kill——!"

Just when he was proud, and when Xiang Kang and Uncle Zhou and others were extremely worried, in the camp of the Western Chu Army, which had regained calm, suddenly sounded again the shouting and killing sound that appeared during the previous infighting in the Western Chu Army, and at the same time, the door of the Western Chu Army's Chinese camp suddenly opened, and countless soldiers of the Western Chu Army with bare left arms shouted and killed, like a sharp sword, and suddenly stabbed the back of the soldiers of the Western Chu Army who were fighting fiercely with the Han Army in front.

"What's wrong?!"

Xiang Guan and many soldiers of the Western Chu Army were first frightened by this sudden shouting and killing, and then, when it became clear that it was Zhou Yin's direct army that came out of the camp of the Chinese army, Xiang Guan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he roared wildly: "Zhou Yin's horseman!" You're still in your true form! It's really the internal response of the Han thief! ”

Thanks to Xiang Guan's previous preparations, he arranged in advance for his sworn friend Pang Yan to lead the army to guard outside the Chinese military camp, and stepped forward in time to stop Zhou Yin's direct army from intercepting and killing, so he did not give Zhou Yin's rebels a chance to directly kill the Han army at the gate of the outer camp to receive the Han army into the camp.

But there was no way, no matter how timely and resolute Pang Yan's troops intercepted, they could not stop the rear team of Zhou Yin's rebels from setting fire to the Chinese military camp of the Western Chu Army to inform the Han army outside that they had revolted in the line of fire. While the torches were thrown indiscriminately, the camp of the Central Army of the Western Chu Army, which had not been affected by the internal strife, was soon full of fires, and countless military tents and baggage were burning into a sky-high fire, rising with billowing smoke, which was particularly eye-catching under the dark night sky.

Seeing this scene, the officers and men of the Western Chu Army who were fighting fiercely on the camp were of course in an uproar, and the military heart that had been stabilized was suddenly shaken again, and the soldiers of the Han Army who were stopped under the base were shocked by joy, and their morale suddenly recovered to the peak, and the speed of rushing and killing was also suddenly accelerated. Xiang Kang, Uncle Zhou and others, who were frowning in the distance, were ecstatic, and shouted in unison: "The opportunity has come!" Follow-up army, on! ”

At the same time in the Western Chu military camp, Xiang Guan, who forcibly took over the command of the outer battalion, had red eyes, roared like a beast wounded, and quickly ordered several of his most trusted armies to launch a counterattack, and went all out to encircle and suppress the Zhou Yin rebels who launched civil strife, "Kill!" Kill! Kill all my traitors! Don't leave any of them! ”

At the same time, a number of Zhou Yin's personal soldiers had already taken advantage of the chaos to get out of the battlefield, carrying Zhou Yin's message, to contact several generals of the Western Chu Army who could fight for the commander of the troops in the outer camp, and announced on behalf of Zhou Yin to these generals of the Western Chu Army who were usually close to Zhou Yin: "Our Great Sima was bullied and humiliated by Xiang Guan, and has decided to defect to the Han army to attack the camp, general, if you are willing to follow our Great Sima to surrender to the King of Han, let your soldiers show their left arms, lead the army to attack the camp gate, and help the army of the King of Han enter the camp!" If you are willing to give Xiang Guan a husband a funeral, our Da Sima will never force it! ”

Among the five generals of the Western Chu Army selected by Zhou Yin, two generals of the Western Chu Army did not hesitate to kill the soldiers sent by Zhou Yin to contact them out of loyalty to Xiang Yu, two did not reply, but their attitude was obviously hesitant, and one of the generals of the Western Chu Army made a decision immediately, and immediately called on his corporal to tear off his left sleeve and show his arm, in response to Zhou Yin's defection, one of his subordinates raised an objection, and was also unceremoniously killed on the spot by the general of the Western Chu Army!

This rebel army who followed the mutiny gave the Western Chu army a fatal blow, Xiang Guan's sworn army had all been sent to encircle and suppress Zhou Yin's direct army, in a hurry, Xiang Guan had no time to transfer a reliable army to clean up this new rebel army, plus this rebel army started too suddenly, and even before the other Western Chu army teams could react, this new rebel army rushed to the vicinity of the east gate of the adjacent West Chu army camp, and immediately killed the West Chu army guarding the east gate by surprise.

"Kill! Pick up the army of the Han King! ”

Shouting, the soldiers of this rebel army either acted on orders, or coveted the money and rewards after surrendering to the Han army, despicable and shameless slashed their weapons and stabbed at the back of their comrades who were fighting fiercely with the Han army, the soldiers of the Western Chu army who were guarding the camp gate were caught off guard, and those who reacted a little slower were immediately killed countless times, and many people who reacted in time also fled timidly, only a small number of people scolded and turned back to fight, struggling to resist the shameless sneak attack of the traitors in Western Chu, and the Han soldiers outside the camp took the opportunity to strengthen the attack, and frantically slammed the wood of the siege vehicle into the door of the Western Chu military camp.

Finally, under the unremitting efforts of the Han army officers and soldiers, and also under the response of the shameless traitors of the Western Chu army, the door of the Western Chu military camp that was sandwiched by them could not withstand the continuous impact, the door latch was suddenly broken and broken, and the camp gate was also cracked back, and the Han soldiers crowded at the camp gate also rushed into the West Chu military camp one after another like a torrent found an outlet, cheering and rushing into the West Chu military camp one after another, and the surging flow of people also knocked the Western Chu soldiers behind the camp gate to stand unsteadily, and even the emergency dispatch of the Saimen knife car to temporarily seal the gap did not have any chance.

"Drums! Total Attack! ”

After a loud roar, in the fierce sound of war drums, Uncle Zhou, who rarely charged into battle like Xiang Kang, rarely slapped his war horse, and personally led the remaining Han soldiers to launch a comprehensive general attack on the east gate of the camp of the Western Chu army.

Xiang Guan had already been so anxious that his eyes were spewing fire, and he sent all the reserves that could still be mobilized in his hands to the East Gate battlefield for reinforcements, in a vain attempt to plug the gap and recapture the camp gate, and most of the Western Chu Army units that received the order were also very tenacious and immediately rushed to the East Gate, but it was too late to do so, countless Han soldiers had already rushed into the West Chu military camp, and the Han soldiers who fought with the ants also took advantage of the opportunity of the enemy's military confusion to rush to the camp one after another, seizing a large area of the position space on the base, Then he launched an assault on another camp gate to the east of the camp of the Western Chu army, and received the companions who were blocked there to enter the camp.

Then, when the main force of Zhou Shu's army also rushed up to join the battlefield, the east gate position of the Western Chu army was even more chaotic, and the flow of soldiers of the Han army was surging, rushing into the Western Chu military camp from the gap in the open camp gate one after another, and the soldiers of the Western Chu army who came to remedy in a hurry sacrificed their lives to fight, and went forward one after another, killing the stubborn soldiers of the Western Chu army and retreating again and again, constantly expanding the position space, and constantly spreading towards the other east gate. Then, with the loud cheers that sounded again, another east gate also opened, and more Han soldiers rushed into the Western Chu military camp with cheers, and the speed of throwing troops into the enemy's camp also doubled at once.

"I can't hold it!"

This is the desperate voice of countless soldiers of the Western Chu Army, and it is precisely because of the fact that the defeat of the Western Chu Army has been decided, a close confidant of Zhou Yin, who had previously remained on the sidelines, also decisively defected, ordering his soldiers to tear off their left sleeves and attack the south gate of the nearby camp, and respond to the Han soldiers who were blocked outside the south gate of the camp to attack the camp and enter the camp.

"Shameless rats!"

After roaring wildly, Xiang Guan, who no longer had a reserve in his hand, had no choice but to personally lead his headquarters to rush towards the newly rebellious army, and also relied on his bitter hatred for the shameless traitor to successfully kill this shameless rebel army in a hurry. But before Xiang Guan could end the pursuit of this traitor, the south gate of a large camp had already been smashed open by the Han army, and more Han soldiers charged into the camp and frantically killed the people of the Western Chu army who were already frightened.

The victory was decided, and the reserves in his hand were still quite sufficient, Xiang Kang did not rush to order Zheng Bu's corps to launch a general attack, but just ordered Zhong Liwu to lead the army forward to strengthen the offensive, and then whispered to himself, "Brother, run quickly, save your life first, wait for me to win the unreasonable Xiang Yu first, and then find a way to slowly compensate you and repay you for your support to me when I first started my army." ”

Xiang Kang, who is still a little conscientious, hopes that Xiang Guan will run away quickly, but unfortunately Xiang Guan refuses to accept this situation, even if he already knows that the defeat of the Western Chu army is doomed, Xiang Guan is still organizing soldiers and horses to resist stubbornly, doing the final dying struggle, first personally led the men and horses of the headquarters to turn back to make up for the leakage, and then transferred troops from the north gate and west gate of the enemy to enter the camp to quell the rebellion, saying that he would not hurry up and flee for his life, but he wanted to fight the trapped beasts.

It's a pity that this is doomed to be useless, Xiang Guan and some of his dead friends refused to surrender and flee for their lives, but most of the Western Chu soldiers did not think so, seeing that the camp had been broken, the Chinese army camp was on fire again, and there was no hope of even retreating to the last foothold, under the panic and timidity, not only had the Western Chu soldiers begun to lay down their arms and surrender, but also many Western Chu soldiers had begun to escape from the battlefield in the chaos, fleeing to the North Gate and the West Gate that had not yet been attacked by the enemy to save their lives, and this situation was still increasing rapidly.

The Han army was diametrically opposed, directly rushing through the south gate of the camp of the Western Chu army, relying on the help of the companions who entered the camp, and the other south gate was soon declared lost, and more Han soldiers rushed into the camp to kill people and set fires. And then, when Zhong Liwu also led the army into the Western Chu military camp, the Western Chu army was even more completely desperate, countless Western Chu soldiers laid down their weapons and knelt down to surrender, and more Western Chu soldiers shouted and ran around, "I can't hold it!" Run! ”

After stubbornly meeting Zhong Lifu's banner, Xiang Guan's department only held on for a moment, and then completely collapsed because the soldiers fled too much, and Xiang Guan finally out of instinct, with the soldiers who could still be restrained, fled to the vicinity of the Chinese army camp, and a few of his cronies and dead friends would be together, and then Xiang Guan still wanted to continue to fight to the death, but his brother-in-law Zhou Ji pulled him to cry and said: "General Xiang, there is no hope, let's go, take advantage of the opportunity now, hurry up and break through, don't die in vain!" ”

"I'm going to fight that ungrateful Xiang Kang traitor! When the prime minister raised troops, our Xiang brothers were born and died for him, and in the end, he repaid us like this! ”

Xiang Guan shouted out his true heart, and Zhou Ji, Pang Yan and others persuaded with tears: "General Xiang, it's useless to fight, Xiang Kang is so far away from the thief, and before we can rush in front of him, he must have died cleanly." Run, stay in the green mountains, and there will be firewood in the future! ”

Even if there is a glimmer of hope, Xiang Guan will definitely not give up, but no, Xiang Kang hid far away, and there were Han soldiers everywhere on the way south, Xiang Guan didn't want to rush to Xiang Kang desperately, just to see Xiang Kang's shadow is as difficult as climbing to the sky. So in desperation, Xiang Guan could only roar like crazy, and then fled to the north gate with the army that could still be restrained, and fled from the north gate to the east.

After the most stubborn Xiang Guan also chose to flee for his life, the Western Chu army naturally collapsed completely, countless people surrendered, and countless people fled for their lives, Zhou Yin and several of his dead friends even surrendered on their knees with the formation of the army under their command, and the Han army soldiers took advantage of the situation to rush and kill, expelled almost all the Western Chu soldiers who refused to surrender from the camp, completely took the entire Western Chu army camp, and then launched a pursuit of the Western Chu army brigade out of the camp.

At this time, after confirming the direction of escape of the defeated brigade of the Western Chu army, Xiang Kang decisively ordered Guan Ying to lead the cavalry of the Han army to launch a pursuit, and also ordered: "Pursue and kill to the end, and the Western Chu thief army must not be allowed to escape in formation!" Otherwise, once they join up with Xiang Yu's reinforcements, they will immediately become a threat to us again! ”

"No." Guan Ying first hugged his fists and sang a promise, and then asked cautiously: "King, if you catch up with General Xiang Guan, and he refuses to surrender, what will the last general do?" ”

It was only after the baby was opened that Xiang Kang remembered that the baby was the person Xiang Guan found and recommended to him, and his nose suddenly became sore, and he couldn't help shedding two lines of tears, choked up and said: "You decide for me, but the premise is that you can't give your life for nothing, as well as the lives of our soldiers!" ”

Guan Ying reluctantly sang a promise, and then led the Han cavalry to launch a pursuit, leaving Xiang Kang in tears on the spot, hating the will of heaven to make people, forcing himself to wield a butcher's knife at his flesh and blood brothers. Chen Ping, Zhang Liang and others next to them were also very aware of Xiang Kang's painful feelings, so they could only persuade one after another: "King, if you want to open up, you have already done your best to your brothers, but they are obsessed with it and insist on helping the tyrannical and unscrupulous King of Western Chu." ”

Xiang Kang smiled bitterly with tears in his eyes, and said secretly: "Li Er in history, when he launched the Xuanwumen Change, he was probably in my current mood. ”

…………

On the other side, under the full pursuit of the Worm Da, Wang Ling and Tao Xi and other armies, the Han army has also been near the dune platform, completely defeated the Qi army Yu Ling's headquarters that sacrificed his life for the Qi army brigade, the Qi army rear team soldiers completely dispersed, rushed to flee to the only bridge on the Zhangshui River to cross the river to escape, crowded and trampled on the bridge, fell into the water countless times, the Han army soldiers continued to pursue despite fatigue, caught up with the dune bridge and slashed hard, desperately expanding the results of the battle, forcing the Qi soldiers who could not cross the river could only choose to lay down their weapons and surrender on their knees.

In this pursuit battle, the hardest working was the Tao Xi Department belonging to the Zheng Bu Corps of the Han Army, because in the pursuit, Tao Xi had already found that the enemy behind the palace was the general Yu Ling of the Qi Army who had hurt his own disgrace, in order to take revenge, Tao Xi not only led the army to chase the fiercest and most ruthless, but also released the words early, "If you find Yu Ling, you must catch it alive!" Lao Tzu is going to cut him off with a knife with his own hands! ”

It's a pity that after the complete collapse of the Qi army, Yu Ling's banner disappeared in the chaos, and at the same time, no matter how the Han soldiers pursued, until they chased across the dune bridge, they could no longer see Yu Ling wearing conspicuous armor, Tao Xi was strange, and soon suddenly woke up, shouting: "Yu Ling's puppet eighty percent changed his clothes, put on the soldier's clothes and fled for his life, so that the prisoners who knew Yu Ling's puppet were identified, and they had to see Lao Tzu's corpse when they died!" ”

Not to mention, the situation was really guessed by Tao Xi, and the prisoners who knew Yu Ling were arranged to come forward to identify him, and it didn't take long for the soldiers under Tao Xi's command to pull out a young man in a group of captives, and shouted happily, "General Tao, it's caught, this puppet is Yu Ling!" This puppet is Yu Ling! ”

"Hahaha!" Laughing wildly and rushing to the front of Yu Ling who was pulled out, Tao Xi didn't say a word, according to Yu Ling's baby face is a heavy punch, roared: "Piff! Do you remember when we just came back from the plains, we were plotted by you, the puppet, and our Han soldiers? That night, Lao Tzu almost lost his life in your hands! ”

Yu Ling, who was beaten to the point that his face was full of flowers, smiled bitterly and said, "General, my lords, what will you do when you call sin?" ”

"That's a good thing to say!" Tao Xi smiled evilly, first punched Yu Ling in the face, and then shouted: "Tie up this puppet and prepare to present it to our General Zheng!" Sneak attack on our camp with a bad idea, and ruin Guangwujun's good deeds of luring the enemy, see how our General Zheng cleans up this puppet! ”

Yu Ling, who was unlucky enough to be a prisoner, closed his eyes helplessly, and let the Han soldiers tie him up, but at this time, in the group of prisoners next to him, a middle-aged man in his thirties stood up, plucked up the courage to step forward and said: "General, you misunderstood, the person who came up with the idea of sneaking up on your camp is actually me, and the one who saw through your plan to lure the enemy is actually a villain, those things have nothing to do with General Yu, if you want to clean up, please clean me up, don't wronged General Yu." ”

"What? It's you? Tao Xi looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.

"It's a villain." The middle-aged man nodded bravely, and said: "General, General Yu has a life-saving grace for the villain, the villain can't let him take the blame for me, take me to your General Zheng, the idea of bad things for you is really mine." ”

"Really?" Tao Xi was skeptical, and asked, "Who are you?" What identity? ”

"General Yu's personal soldiers, Lou Jing of Lu." The middle-aged man replied simply.
