Chapter 213: Wang Li's bloody battle

Pan Lili took a look at his throat: "The role of attacking Yongdao has not been valued by the princes' coalition before, or even if the princes' coalition is aware of it, there is no way to start, because Wang Li's Yongdao is on the south side of the base camp, and the princes' coalition is in the north, such a geographical location is directly related to the success or failure of the later battles, Zhang Han and Wang Li are not far apart, and they are in a horn situation, if they attack Wang Li, Zhang Han will definitely come to the rescue, attack Zhang Han, Wang Li will also come to the rescue."

So you have to try to separate the two, and then it's possible to break each one. ”

Wu Rui laughed and said: "Li Tangshan, why are you so good, a wife is better than a wife." ”

Li Tangshan proudly pretended: "Wu Rui, is that my unique vision, just like I am optimistic about you?" Isn't it? ”

Panli walked over and pinched Li Tangshan, causing Li Tangshan to scream in pain, which caused everyone to laugh.

Li Tangshan and Panli were unwilling to disturb Wu Rui too much and their preparations for battle, so they said goodbye to Wu Rui and left Qiu County.

But Panli didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of the Qin army was too strong, even if there was no Zhang Han, but to fight against Wang Li's Great Wall Army alone, Xiang Yu still had no certainty of victory, so Xiang Yu wanted to use the tactics of sneak attack on Yongdao to cut off Wang Li's supply, fortunately, Wang Li's forces were too scattered, and there were not many Qin troops stationed in Weixian Yongdao, while the Chu army was led by the cavalry led by General Pu and the Baiyue Army led by Yingbu Wu Qi under the repeated attacks of several days and nights, and finally tore a gap in the Zhanghe River in the east of Yongdao, Subsequently, the Baiyue army diverted the water of the Qingzhang River at the gap and flooded the Yongdao.

But the good news is that the coalition of princes, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally began to move.

So what were the princes doing before Xiang Yu arrived? In fact, not everyone in the coalition forces is watching from the sidelines, at least one person has taken action, and this person is Chen Yu.

Before the Chu army entered the battle, Chen Yu, at the urging of Zhang Er, sent Zhang Wei and Chen Ze to lead 5,000 men to cross Dayozawa from north to south, and then along the jungle by the Qingzhang River in the east to try to attack the Qin army command post in the dunes, but the whole army was annihilated unsurprisingly.

At this time, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to the Qing River, and General Pu did not directly attack the Qin army under Julu City, it is likely that he learned the lessons of Zhang Wei and Chen Ze, and instead started from the weak point of the Qin army, which completely disrupted the deployment of the Qin army, so from this point of view, the sacrifice of Zhang Xiao and Chen Ze is very meaningful, and their efforts point out the direction for the later coalition actions.

Of course, Wang Li is not a vegetarian, and when facing the coalition army of the princes in the north of Julu City, he transferred his most elite cavalry to the north of Julu City.

Because the east and south of Julu are the Qingzhang River, such a geographical location determines that there is only one way for the princes' coalition army to march from north to south.

Faced with such a situation, General Wang Li had to place the cavalry unit and most of his troops of the elite Great Wall Army in the north of Julu City, so that the princes' alliance army would not dare to move.

Wu Rui's side moved faster than Li Tangshan expected, and Li Shang used a strategy to transfer Zhang Han, and Wu Rui and Yingbu took the opportunity to capture the outer Yongdao in Wei County to cut off Wang Li's supplies, reversing the trend of the entire battle.

Xiang Yu's Chu army became a turning point in the Battle of Julu, laying the foundation for the final victory of the coalition army, at this time Chen Yu immediately met Xiang Yu, and at the same time met Xiang Yu with the commander of the Qi army in Zhao Tiandu, the princes of the alliance finally prepared to besiege Wang Li together, Xiang Yu finally became the commander of the princes' coalition army in this campaign and even until the fall of the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, Xiang Yu issued an order to the two, the coalition army went south and surrounded Wang Li with the Chu army, and the Qi army held Wei County, especially the Qi army sailors must hold the Qingzhang River to block the retreat of the Qingzhang River in the east of Wang Li's army.

Because although the outer Yongdao from Weixian to the sand dunes has been breached, the inner Yongdao from the sand dunes to the bottom of Julu City is still there, and there is still enough grain in it to support Zhang Han's rescue.

If you look at it from the point of view of strength at this time, the total number of soldiers and civilians in Julu City is about 50,000, and the Chen Yu reinforcements in the north of the city have reached 100,000 after converging with the reinforcements of Zhang Er's son Zhang Aodaidi, plus 60,000 Chu troops and 50,000 coalition troops of the Yanqi coalition army further north, the total strength of the coalition army completely exceeds Wang Li's army, but in terms of geographical location, the Chu army is in the south of Wang Li, and the coalition army is in the north of Wang Li. Therefore, although the coalition army at this time could surround Wang Li in terms of strength, it still did not dare to act rashly in the face of the strong combat effectiveness of the Great Wall Army, and another reason for not daring to act was the storage of grain in the inner corridor.

But if the Chu army can destroy the Neiyong Road and force the Great Wall Army's troops north of Julu City to rescue the base camp sand dunes, the coalition forces can move south.

Wang Li actually understood a reason, so in the face of such a situation, Wang Li had no choice but to rely on the army that was originally stationed to defend the sand dunes to defend the inner road of the sand dunes.

And Xiang Yu also understood that although the Chu army captured the Yongdao in Weixian County, once the combat ability of the Great Wall Army supported the rescue of the Zhanghan reinforcements in the south, then the Chu army would be counter-surrounded by the Qin army.

Therefore, this Chu army wants to win not only fast but also ruthless, so Xiang Yu only left 3 days of food, at this time on the battlefield only saw the Chu army is the same, after 3 days and 9 fierce attacks, finally broke through the sand dunes connected to the inner Yong Road of Julu City.

Wang Li, who was in the sand dunes, finally ordered to send all the remaining forces of the Great Wall Army into battle to rescue the sand dunes, and Zhang Han, who had been transferred before, immediately went north to rescue Wang Li after finding out that he had been tricked.

At this time, they had rushed back to Qiu County and were ready to counter-encircle Xiang Yu with Wang Li, but the princes in the north of Julu City saw that the cavalry troops of the Great Wall Army returned to rescue the sand dunes, and finally launched a general attack on Wang Li's army.

In this way, the battle situation at this time is very delicate, but there is an important point that Wang Li's logistics supply of the Great Wall Army is completely cut off. However, the Chu army converged with the coalition army from the east and west, and after the convergence, there was no need to worry about the supply of grain and grass.

Then the winner is obvious.

It depends on Xiang Yu's Chu army and Wang Li's Qin army, which side can hold on.
