King Yue finally came back to his senses and said: "The courage of the overlord, this king has never seen it, and he doesn't know that the battle can be fought like this." ”

Xiang Yu said: "What does the king of Yue think should be done at present." ”

The king of Yue said: "This king is willing to give up one-third of the land of Yue to the Zhou Dynasty again, and ask the overlord to give me a way to live, and the Yue Kingdom is willing to submit to the feet of the Zhou Dynasty from now on." ”

Xiang Yu thought: Now we don't have the strength to kill again, wait until tomorrow to bring people over, they will also run back, it is better to take some practical ones. Besides, I still have to support Hua Long and Ji Yan. Then he said to the king of Yue: "Okay, I don't think you dare to make any more ideas, you can withdraw now." ”

Xiang Yu took people back to the city to rest for a few hours, and led all the cavalry to support Hua Long and Ji Yan that day.

King Yue withdrew quickly, he was afraid that Xiang Yu would bring people to kill him tomorrow, so that the Yue Kingdom would be over, and the current strength of the Yue Kingdom would be less than 200,000, and he was completely discouraged by Xiang Yu in this battle.

On Hualong's side, the day after the king of Yue arrived in Yiling, the Chu army launched an attack on Hualong. The Chu army and the Yue army had already discussed the day of attacking at the same time, but the Chu army definitely did not expect that the Yue army would be beaten back by Xiang Yu on the first day, otherwise the Chu army would definitely not attack.

Hua Long still adopted the old trick of defeating Shen You last time, and defended to the death, using catapults and arrows and crossbows to attack the soldiers of the Chu army rushing over.

Deng Liang, who also saw this kind of weapon for the first time, saw that a large number of the soldiers he rushed out had fallen, and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the soldiers, but he withdrew early, and only suffered a few thousand casualties. Deng Liang hurriedly summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures.

Hua Long also said to everyone: "The Chu army will definitely not attack head-on tomorrow, it may attack from behind us and from the flank, and we still put catapults and crossbows in front of us to scare them and prevent them from continuing to attack from the front." ”

Hua Long continued: "We will narrow the defensive scope tomorrow, Guan Biao will guard the back, Liu Hu and Chen Sheng will guard the two sides respectively, each of you will bring 10,000 cavalry and 25,000 infantry to defend, Ji Yan will lead 5,000 infantry to command the frontal defense, and Ji Ling will lead 10,000 cavalry in the middle. ”

Everybody said, "Okay." ”

Hua Long said: "Everyone guard their own side, don't attack or support the other side casually, there are many Chu soldiers, and if they break through one side, we will be wiped out." Another point, everyone should believe that General Xiang will come here to support us in three to five days. ”

Guan Biao was a little unconvinced, and said: "General Hua, it is estimated that the Yue side will send at least 200,000 troops to attack Yiling City." Saying that General Xiang has no problem holding Yiling, I believe that you say that he can defeat the King of Yue in such a short time and rush over to support us, this is unlikely. ”

Ji Yan said: "I'm not sure, but I believe in my eldest brother." ”

Ji Ling said: "I believe in General Xiang. ”

Chen Sheng said: "I believe in both Brother Hua and Brother Xiang. ”

Hua Long said: "Everyone will pass on this confidence to improve morale." ”

Guan Biao and Liu Hu said: "Since everyone is so confident, we also believe it." ”

The next day, Deng Liang's soldiers divided into four ways and attacked from four directions, in fact, Deng Liang's frontal attack was only a feint, trying to distract Hualong's attention. After the frontal soldiers were at a certain distance from the Hualong army, they scattered and rushed to both sides of the Hualong army, mainly attacking the sides and rear of the Hualong army.

Deng Liang's army did not attack all, 50,000 people were arranged in each direction, and a total of 150,000 people attacked on three sides, leaving more than 40,000 behind.

The battle between the two sides was fierce, with 35,000 versus 50,000 in each direction. Ji Ling wanted to help several times, but Hua Long didn't let him, saying, "You didn't see that there were still people and horses left in the Chu army, and we can't move." ”

After fighting like this for more than an hour, the two sides were evenly matched, and the Chu army suffered more casualties, 15,000, and Hualong had a few thousand. Deng Liang saw that Hualong's side was well defended, and there were 10,000 cavalry maneuvers in the middle. Thinking that a sneak attack was impossible, he simply attacked one side and let the remaining 40,000 or so all attack the back of Hualong, wanting to take it by force.

Hua Long asked Ji Ling to bring 10,000 cavalry to support, so that the rear force was 45,000 to 90,000. Hualong narrowed the defensive circle, the 90,000 horses of the Chu army could not fully play its role, and there were many Hualong cavalry, and the disadvantage was not too great.

If the fight continues like this, both sides will not stop, and it is estimated that there will be heavy casualties. The rear of Hualong felt more and more pressure, and there were many Chu soldiers and they replenished their strength quickly.

After nearly an hour of fighting, the Chu army suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and the Hualong side suffered nearly 20,000 casualties. Deng Liang was going to fight for another hour, and if he couldn't attack, he would retreat, and if he continued to fight like this, even if he won, the person would almost die, and there was no point.

Who knows, tens of thousands of horses were suddenly killed from behind the Chu army, it turned out that Xiang Yu led more than 30,000 cavalry to arrive, and after Hualong saw it, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted.

Deng Liang didn't expect it, and he never dreamed that Xiang Yu would kill him so quickly, and hurriedly let the army attacking Hualong's rear divide half to meet him.

In this way, Hualong's rear situation was in an advantageous position, and Xiang Yu killed 10,000 Chu troops in less than half an hour, and the Chu army was a little chaotic. Hua Long asked the soldiers in the rear to start a counterattack, but now they formed a flanking attack on the Chu army, and in less than half an hour, they killed more than 15,000 Chu troops. Now there is no damage on Hualong's side.

Deng Liang saw that his side would die if he continued to fight like this, and he suffered more than 6,000 casualties before he hit the opponent's camp yesterday. Today, Xiang Yu suffered 30,000 casualties before he came, and nearly 30,000 died in an hour after Xiang Yu came, with a total strength of only more than 130,000. And Xiang Yu and Hualong have less than 30,000 casualties combined, Hualong originally had 120,000 people, plus Xiang Yu's 30,000 and 150,000, 30,000 died, and 120,000.

So Deng Liang simply ordered to withdraw, Xiang Yu and Hualong sent cavalry to chase and kill, and after killing 30 miles, they retreated. First, I am afraid of inserting too deep and ambushing in the middle; Another main reason is that Xiang Yu's army continuously kills the enemy, rushes away, and kills the enemy, and the physical consumption is quite large. This time the pursuit killed more than 30,000 Chu troops, the Chu army suffered almost 100,000 casualties, and Hua Long and Xiang Yu only died more than 30,000 on their side.

After Hua Long and Xiang Yu came back, everyone happily gathered together. Guan Biao said: "General Xiang, General Hua said yesterday that you can come to support us in 3 to 5 days, I thought that General Hua deliberately said this in order to boost morale, but I didn't expect you to come today." ”

Xiang Yu said: "I was also worried about you, so I hurried overnight. ”

Ji Ling said: "Brother Xiang, didn't Yue Guo beat you?" How did you come so fast? ”

Xiang Yu then told the situation of defeating the Vietnamese army.

Everyone listened to it, they thought Xiang Yu was amazing, they couldn't believe their ears, Xiang Yu's 40,000 people beat the 200,000 Vietnamese army, not only killed the other party's 100,000 horses, but also earned back one-third of the land of the Yue country.

Ji Ling said: "Brother Xiang, are you a human being!" Who will dare to fight with you in the future! ”

Hua Long said: "What is this, that is, the opponent is stronger than King Yue, and the number of people is increased by 200,000, and Brother Xiang will still win." ”

Everyone nodded and said, "We believe it now." ”

Hua Long said: "Big brother, if you don't rush over this time, if the Chu army and us continue to fight, or in a few days, we and the Chu army will finish fighting." I didn't expect that the Chu army would send 200,000 troops, and it would ally with the Yue Kingdom to destroy us. ”

Xiang Yu said: "I'm also worried, so I attacked them without waiting for the Vietnamese army to gain a foothold." However, I believe that the second brother, even if he loses today, he can bring the rest of the people back to Yiling safely. ”
