"In addition, immediately send cavalry to ask General Su for help." Seeing the large number of troops coming from the army, Wang Cheng cautiously commanded. Su Jiao ordered him to defend the city, and this Handan must not be lost.

Tian Rong and others arrived at the city, and immediately commanded the army to start attacking the city, Handan, as the capital of Zhao State, the city wall was firm, and Wang Cheng relied on it to launch a counterattack.

In the dense forest battlefield, after Su Jiao's army reorganized its formation, it gradually began to gain the upper hand, and the indomitable fighting spirit of the Qin soldiers perfectly reflected the appearance, and the bloody nature of the border army was tempered by border battles.

Although Xiang Yu was out of the encirclement, although he was supported by Xiahou Ying, it was undeniable that the combat power of the Qin army was still strong.

Xiang Yu saw that the situation was grim, he looked around, and then locked the position of Su Jiao, from the middle of the army, he wanted to take the head of the enemy general, in order to break the situation, Xiang Yu has such strength. The black horse sprinted over like a meteor like a lightning bolt, and Xiang Yu's halberd was thrown away through the air. The huge halberd with a whistling sound arrived in an instant.

Su Jiao was caught off guard, and his whole body was in the middle of the halberd, and then he was knocked out by this huge force, but fortunately, the armor on his chest was thick enough, so he was not killed. However, after falling to the ground, Su Jiao was also shocked to the point that his internal organs were like shifting shapes, and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and his face was swollen blood red.

"General!" The Qin soldiers hurriedly guarded the guard.

And Xiang Jiajun was shocked and shouted: "General Xiang is mighty, kill, the main general of the Qin army has fallen from his horse." ”

Su Jiao was seriously wounded and had no combat power, and many Qin troops formed a human wall, blocking Xiang Yu's attack while protecting Su Jiao to retreat to the rear. On the frontal battlefield, the morale of the Qin army plummeted, and Xiang Yu turned the tide of the battle with his own strength.

When Su Jiao arrived at the rear, his body was still weak, and he said in a low voice: "Quick, continue to attack, and we must destroy this family army today." Xiang Yu's bravery made Su Jiao realize that if he didn't kill the latter, the Qin army would be hit by Xiang Yu in the future.

Therefore, even if he was injured, he still insisted on using soldiers, as long as he could exterminate Xiang Yu, everything was worth it.

Hearing the order, the Qin army continued to attack after panicking and being commanded by a lieutenant. This surprised Xiang Yu, Yu Ziqi and others, generally speaking, the main general would have to retreat if he was injured, but this time the Qin army did the opposite.

The offensive of Xiang Jiajun's counterattack just now was ruthlessly extinguished again, and Xiang Yu gritted his teeth, knowing that he would continue to fight bravely to kill the enemy. Xiang Yu's strength attracted a large number of Qin troops, so the pressure on Xiahou Ying here was reduced a lot, and Pei Jun did not suffer too many casualties because of this.

In the battle on the left side, because the Pei army had the advantage, the Qin army began to retreat, and the Qin military captain knew that he had been fooled, and glared at Liu Yuan with resentment, but he was helpless. Peijun's fierce generals also made this captain dare not rush forward, and he could only passively organize defense.

However, the divided Qin army, the more the war became fewer, the casualties were heavy, the original army of 10,000, now there are only more than 5,000 people left, this captain is grief-stricken.

The cavalry saw that Su Jiao was wounded, and after being shocked, he quickly said: "General, Handan is in danger, the alliance of Qi, Wei and Zhao is attacking the city, and Vice General Wang asks for help." ”

"What?" Su Jiao was furious, and then spat out a mouthful of blood, "What a treacherous traitor." "Handan is an important place to attack Zhao, and it is the camp of Sujiao, if it is broken, the Qin army will have no city to rely on. Especially Xiang Yu is still so brave, once the city is broken, the Qin army will expose Chiguoguo to the encirclement of the Five Nations Alliance.

After analyzing the pros and cons in his heart, Su Jiao immediately made a decision, he was a little resentful, and a little disappointed and ordered: "Mingjin collects his troops, and he can return to Handan." ”

At this moment, Su Jiao was very unwilling. Tian Rong and Chen Yu may not know that it was they who took the opportunity to send troops and fundamentally relieved the siege of the Han and Chu coalition forces.

"Collect the troops!"

"Quick, withdraw the troops."

The Qin troops on the left and right flanks also moved when they heard the order, and fought and retreated, maintaining a retreating formation, without giving Liu Yuan and Ji Bu a chance to pursue frantically. On the frontal battlefield, Su Jiao also took the lead in withdrawing under the protection of his personal guards, and the rest of the Qin army left together under the closure of the left and right wings.

This battle broke out suddenly, but ended even more suddenly, Liu Yuan and Xiang Liang didn't know why. However, Xiang Liang was glad that in this way, the Xiang family army was also preserved, and the Qin army was not dead.

Liu Yuan also immediately gathered the Pei army and did not order a pursuit, after all, the Qin army was still numerous, and the main force was not too damaged. Xiahou Ying also led the troops back, and he also informed Liu Yuan and others of the positive things.

Hearing this, Liu Yuan was puzzled and said, "Qin Jun is a little weird. ”

"Yes, it's unpredictable." Zhang Liang said with a postscript.

"It's better for the soldiers to retreat, otherwise our army will also suffer a big loss in strength." Xiao He smiled.

Liu Yuan also said in a deep voice: "Order, first go to rectify the army and rescue the wounded." Xiao Xiancheng, military merits and casualties will also be counted by you. ”

"No!" Everyone left, busy with their own work.

After Zhang Liang gave his leave, he also went to Han Jun. In this battle, the Korean army played a momentum, although there were few people, but they were brave, and Zhang Liang was delighted.

Xiang Liang's face was gloomy, and he did not show joy because of Su Jiao's retreat, this battle of Xiang's army can be described as tragic. The army of 20,000, after preliminary statistics, has suffered more than 5,000 casualties, of which more than 4,000 were occupied in the frontal battle. If Liu Yuan hadn't agreed to Xiahou Ying's support, I am afraid it would continue to intensify.

"General, the matter has come to this, and it is still acceptable to be able to save 20,000 people." Fan Zeng persuaded.

"Uncle and nephew failed to break the enemy, and they are willing to be punished." Xiang Yu also spoke in a low voice, feeling shameless.

Xiang Liang sighed, he swept the cheeks of the generals, and then smiled, and said, "What the military advisor said is that the combat strength of our army is still there. You don't have to blame yourself, you can hit Su Jiao hard, it's already a great achievement. Alright, let's all clean up the battlefield. ”

After Liu Yuan and Xiang Liang rectified and rested, they continued to lead their troops to Feicheng in silence. Xiang Yu also lost his previous arrogance, after all, Liu Yuan assisted Xiang Jiajun, which made him a little embarrassed.

Not long after the army marched, another army was rapidly approaching in front, and Liu Yuan and Xiang Liang hurriedly ordered the army to spread out the formation. However, after approaching, they found that it was the Wei army, and the two waved their hands to put away their troops.

Wei Bao saw that Liu Yuan's army was fine, and his panicked and anxious face improved a lot. After seeing Liu Yuan and Xiang Liang, Wei Bao wiped the sweat on his head and said, "You wait for nothing to get better." ”

"The leopard boy can come to help, and Yuan is grateful in his heart." Liu Yuan arched his hand.

"I only have 5,000 soldiers. The rest of the forces have gone to attack Handan City, and Tian Rong and Chen Yu want to capture Handan. Wei Bao spread his hands and said with a wry smile. (To be continued.) )
