The Han army was divided into five routes, with a total strength of about 400,000. Han Xin was the vanguard, leading the main force of 300,000 to stop the Chu army head-on; General Kong Ju was in charge of the left flank; Fei Hou Chen He was in charge of the right wing; Liu Bang took the secretarial staff team in the middle of the road; After Zhou Bo was broken.

Han Xin commanded the forward troops to attack Xiang Yu's camp, but was fiercely counterattacked by the Chu army, Han Xin led the troops back, and ordered the left and right wing troops to flank the Chu army and maintain the offensive.

This is a showdown between the god of war and the immortal soldiers!

As a representative of military strategists, Han Xin has always made good use of tactics, exchanging the smallest sacrifice for the largest casualties of the opponent and winning the victory.

In ancient times, the military family was divided into four schools: the military power strategist, the military yin and yang master, the military skill strategist, and the military situation strategist.

The characteristics of the military power strategist are "to defend the country with integrity, to use troops with odds, to plan first and then fight", pay attention to strategic layout, take into account the situation, yin and yang and skills, and belong to the great immortal figures. The military situation strategist focuses on the use of tactics, and the combat has the characteristics of being as fast as the wind, changeable, and quickly defeating the enemy, and Xiang Yu belongs to this kind of god. The Zhuge Liang we are familiar with is the representative of the Yin and Yang family, they know astronomy and geography, and they are proficient in Yin and Yang techniques, Qimen Dunjia, which is the level of immortals.

Under the continuous attack of the three-way Han army, the Chu army gradually showed fatigue and fell into disadvantage. Han Xin keenly observed the change in the battle situation and commanded the forward Han army to turn around and fight again. The Chu army was defeated and retreated into the city of Yuanxia to hold on. The Chu army fought continuously, the troops were tired, and there was a shortage of food in the army.

One night, there was a sudden sound of Chu singing outside the Chu camp, and the lyrics were cloudy: "People's hearts are towards Chu, and the world already belongs to Liu." Han Xintun is going to behead the overlord! ”

Just listening to the ups and downs, the same Chu song sounded in all directions. When the soldiers of the Chu army heard the singing, they felt homesick, their morale was even lower, and their fighting spirit collapsed. Xiang Yu was also taken aback, thinking that Chu had been captured by Liu Bang.

When heaven and earth come together, the heroes are not free.

Xiang Yu sighed with sadness, and sang with wine: "Pull out the mountains and cover the world, and the times are not good." If you don't die, you can't help it, and you can't help it! ”

This is the "Song of the Fall" that has been passed down through the ages. Through the smoke and dust of history, people today can still hear the unwillingness, helplessness and sadness of the overlord of Chu.

Yu Ji made peace with the song: "The king of Han has been slighted, and he is embattled with singing." The king is exhausted, and the concubine is not alive! ”

Xiang Yu cried, Yu Ji cried, and the sergeants under the tent cried.

That night, Yu Ji committed suicide and died. Later generations have infinite sympathy for this thin life, and built Yu Ji's tomb and Yu Ji Temple for her in Lingbi County, and the incense is still endless.

Late at night, Xiang Yu led 800 cavalry to break through. Xiang Yu is a genius-level general in the end, and he can still find a breakthrough in the setting of an ambush on all sides and easily break through.

At dawn, the Han army found out. The infant led 5,000 cavalry in pursuit. Xiang Yu crossed the Huai River, and there were only more than 100 horsemen left and right. When they arrived at Yinling (northwest of Dingyuan County, Anhui), the local people deliberately pointed the wrong way, fell into the swampy area, and were chased by the Han army.

Xiang Yu led the troops to fight and fled, and retreated to Wujiang (Wujiangpu, Hexian County, Anhui), with only twenty-eight soldiers left by his side.

A small boat is parked on the river. The chief of Wujiang Pavilion persuaded Xiang Yu to cross the river and claim the king, in order to recover, "The Jiangdong region is thousands of miles away, and the population is hundreds of thousands, which is enough to be the king." May the king rush across. Only the ministers had boats, and the Han army could not cross the river. ”

Xiang Yu said: "The sky is going to kill me, what's the use of me crossing the river!" Back then, I led 8,000 Jiangdong children to cross the river, and now no one has returned, even if Jiangdong's fathers take pity on me and respect me as the king, how can I have the face to see them? Even if they don't say it, can I not be ashamed? ”

Xiang Yu gave the pavilion chief his mount a black horse, and ordered the soldiers to dismount and walk, fighting with short swords in hand, and he tried his best to kill hundreds of Han soldiers and killed himself. All twenty-eight members of the retinue were killed.

A generation of war gods, a tragic curtain call.

With his genius and blood, he left a strong mark in the history books, attracting the regret and sympathy of countless people. During the Han Dynasty, some scholars believed that if Xiang Yu was born a few decades later, he would definitely be able to become a famous general on a par with Wei Qing and Huo Quai, stepping on the Huns and making meritorious contributions to foreign lands.

It's a pity that history didn't give Xiang Yu more opportunities, nor did it give us more surprises.

The Han army pacified Chudi, but only Lu County refused to surrender. Lu County was Xiang Yu's earliest fief, and the guard general General Li was one of the 8,000 Jiangdong disciples who followed Xiang's uprising. Liu Bang sent someone to send Xiang Yu's head to Lu County, indicating that Xiang Yu was dead, and the Chu army in Lu County was willing to surrender.

Xiang Yu was originally named the Duke of Lu by King Huai of Chu, and Lu County finally surrendered, so Liu Bang buried Xiang Yu in Gucheng (northwest of Dongping County, Tai'an, Shandong) with the gift of Duke Lu. Commonly known as the tomb of the overlord, it lasted for thousands of years and was not destroyed until the seventies of the twentieth century.

General Li committed suicide and was buried next to Xiang Yu's tomb.
