The Qin army had only 70,000 people, while the Chu army was 1890,000. There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and the Chu army is not afraid of one or two thousand casualties, but the Qin army can't help but care.

After the First World War, the Qin army had no strength to fight again, while the Chu army had a steady stream of fresh troops. Once they continue to stay in the valley, they will inevitably suffer from the blockade of the Chu army.

Once the Chu army blocked the mountain pass, the Qin army was afraid that it would not last long and would fall apart.

Because in the valley, the Qin army had no source of food and grass. Once the mouth of the valley is blocked, it will force the Qin army into a dead end.

Wang Ben can see this, and he believes that Xiang Yu will also see it. Therefore, after the hasty retreat of the Chu army, this period was the best time for the Qin army to retreat.

As a battlefield general, this kind of truth is naturally clear to Wang Ben.

"The general has an order, the army withdraws from the valley——!" As the thought flickered, he shouted loudly.

At this time, Yanhe did not dare to hesitate. After all, Wang Ben didn't even count the most basic casualties, so he gave the order to retreat, which shows the degree of danger.

With an order, the soldiers of the Qin army moved quickly. At this moment, the advantages of the Qin army's well-trained and strict orders were immediately reflected.

The speed with which the battlefield was cleaned up is unimaginable to ordinary people. For a while, in the valley, arrows, and corpses had been buried and collected.

"Rumble ......"

……

The Chu army camp.

Xiang Yu led the army to retreat and return, but this battle made the Chu army silent, and the entire tent was extremely depressed.

Since Qin and Chu confronted Luoyang, this was the second battle. This time, the Chu army suffered a big loss, leaving behind more than 20,000 corpses. The Qin army showed its power in a formation, and no more than a thousand people were killed in the battle, and the two battles with the Chu army were tied.

This situation made Xiang Yu and a series of Chu generals understand that the stubborn resistance of the Qin army was no less than the intention of Western Chu to destroy Qin.

"Your Majesty, news has come from our eyes, Qin II Huhai broke through Xiangcheng, General Zhongli had to retreat, and now Yingchuan County has all fallen into the hands of the Qin army."

Hearing this, Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment. He is very clear, and he has deployed no less than 120,000 troops in Yingchuan County.

Unexpectedly, they were defeated in the hands of the Qin army one by one!

Heng Chu's army of 50,000 can also be said to be a group of recruits, a rabble who have never been on the battlefield. However, the 70,000 army of Xiangcheng Zhongli was the absolute elite who accompanied him in the southern and northern wars.

"Where are Heng Chu and Zhong Lifu?" After being silent for a long time, Xiang Yu asked.

Xiang Zhuang frowned, hurriedly bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, General Hengchu and General Zhongli are heading towards Luoyang, but the 120,000 army is less than 30,000. ”

His eyes were like torches, and he looked around Xiang Yu's eyes with a touch of solemnity, and said, "Where is the father?" ”

"The Father's visit to all the nations of the world was very fruitful. Now the Western Wei and Yin have sent 50,000 troops, and they are confronting the Qin army in the corpse country. ”

"Zhao Wangxi sent troops to Shangjun, Liaodong and Qi sent 50,000 troops, and Linjiang sent 100,000 troops......"

"Hmm."

Nodding, Xiang Yu's brows tightened. He knew that Emperor Qin went east, destroyed Henan and South Korea, turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands for rain, which made the princes of the world afraid.

The thought flickered in his heart, Xiang Yu sighed, and said: "Emperor Qin's momentum is too great, even if he is alone, he will be killed by the whole world!" ”

It's just that having said that, Xiang Yu is extremely worried. He knows that if there is a first time, there will be a second time.

Today, for the sake of Great Qin, the princes of the world are united. Tomorrow, because of Western Chu, the princes of the world will join forces. Thinking of this, Xiang Yu's idea of cutting off the kingdoms became even more deep-rooted.

"Zhuqing, now that Yingchuan has been lost, our army has become a rootless duckweed. For today's plan, the only way to attack Luoyang is to storm Luoyang, what do you think about this? ”

Just like the first time the Qin army encountered the Chu army's surprise attack, this time the Chu army was also greatly shocked, and deeply felt that the Qin army could still have such power in such a predicament, and it was indeed a strong opponent.

Even Xiang Yu no longer acted arbitrarily, but chose to consult with the generals.

Hearing this, Xiang Zhuang took the lead in expressing his position, he looked at Xiang Yu, and said: "Your Majesty, the Qin army only has 70,000 people, and with the casualties in this battle, it is not 70,000 at all. ”

"And our army still has 150,000 or 60,000, and it has the potential to crush the Qin army. Tongwu Hou Wang Ben is the first general of the Qin army, if Wang Ben is killed in this battle, the Qin army's heart will inevitably be defeated. ”

"As long as Wang Ben's army is defeated, Luoyang City will not be difficult to break."

……

"Your Majesty, what Xiang Zhuang said is true. Now our army has not broken Luoyang for a long time, just because Wang Ben is contained nearby, and without Wang Ben, Luoyang is almost an empty city. ”

"No matter how Qin II turns his hands into clouds and hands into rain in Shandong, as long as our army breaks through Luoyang and enters Hangu Pass, the sword will be pointed at Xianyang."

Speaking of this, Xiang Tuo smiled faintly and said, "As long as Xianyang is broken, the Great Qin Empire will be destroyed." Qin II is like a rootless duckweed, and will be at our disposal. ”

Hearing this, Xiang Yu was also arrogant in his heart. He has come to this point because of one war after another, and the two armies are fighting in front of each other, so why should he be afraid of others.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiang Yu said ruthlessly: "Wang Ben killed more than 20,000 elites of me in one battle, and this revenge will not be avenged!" People say that the Qin army is durable, and today Lone will fight with him every day to see how many days he can last! ”

Wu She's eyes flickered on the side, and he couldn't help but exhort, saying: "Your Majesty, our army should take a break now, and we must find out the weakness of the Qin army and fight again. ”

"The Qin army only has tens of thousands, the defenders of Hangu Pass do not dare to come out lightly, the Jiuyuan army is pinned down by the Zhao army, and Qin II is far away in Yingchuan County."

"Now that the Qin State has no army to adjust, the army led by Wang Ben is simply a lone army. As long as our army fights one after another, it will be annihilated. ”

"This is a great time to hit the Qin army hard——!"

Wu Shi was worried, but everyone in the generals was eager, and no one was willing to make a truce.

At this moment, Xiang Yu roared like thunder: "All the princes in the world are watching, this battle is a vicious battle for survival!" The Chu army waded into the sea of blood, and it was also about to destroy the Qin army! ”

"The Chu army has rushed into the sea of blood, and it will also destroy the Qin army!" In the big tent, all the generals shouted in unison.

……

Xiang Yu's statement directly made the generals of the Chu army indignant and excited. In the entire camp of the Chu army, the momentum was violent, and the decision to fight with the Qin army could not be changed.

For a while, Wu Shi thought about it and stopped talking. He knew that he was just a strategist, and he didn't have enough influence on Xiang Yu, so it was impossible to influence Xiang Yu's decision-making, and at this time, only Fan Zeng, the sub-father, could stop the entire Western Chu.

It's a pity that the father Fan Zeng is still far away in the east of the mountain, not here.
