Chapter 272: It's Really Dead
The soldiers are in a desperate situation.
The left flank of the Zhao army completely collapsed, and the tents in the camp were reduced to dust in the raging fireββγ
The smoke in the sky, the noisy shouts, and the cold corpse lying on the ground and unattended are a bloody battle like hell on earth.
Qin and Zhao, two great powers that were once rivals of each other, clashed again after nearly a hundred years of entanglement, but the result made many Guanzhong celebrities terrified.
After continuous blood loss, Liu Bang was forced to go into battle in person, but unfortunately his command ability could only be regarded as barely passing at best, as for Chen Yu, he had no fame and no actual achievements, and the two of them were more than a chip behind the current Li Yuan in terms of command ability.
Liu Bang was alone, there was no hope of breaking through, so he could only hold on to a high slope, waiting for the almost impossible reinforcements to arrive.
"Order, Chen Xuan's army continued to besiege Liu Bang's army, and the heavy cavalry of the Su Jiao Department withdrew from the battlefield and lurked around Li Qi's military camp, waiting for an opportunity to ambush the enemy who moved."
"Re-order: Cao Xinjun's army is re-established outside Julu City and prepares siege equipment."
"The rest of the ministries quickly collect and surrender the prisoners, purge the men and horses, and follow the Benhou action."
The Qin army's strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements, because of Chen Yu's hesitation, turned into an unrealizable tactical concept, and after discovering that Julu's Zhao army had not shown signs of being slow to move, the Qin army adjusted its deployment and transferred Su Jiao's heavy cavalry to the battlefield to sweep the remaining resistance forces of Liu's army.
The use of heavy cavalry to deal with the soldiers of the Zhao army, who were clothed and ragged and not even fully armed, was the reason for the rapid rout of Liu Bang's nearly 20,000 soldiers, and more importantly, after Li Yuan sensed Chen Yu's hesitation, he quickly invested all the new forces of the Qin army to chase and beat Liu Bang.

The morning sun rose as usual, the sky was blue, and the red glow showed a corner of the eastern sky, gradually climbing up to the small half of the sky.
The highest point in Julu City. The red battle wall embroidered with the big "Zhao" stood alone to the east, reflecting the broken banner between the battlefields.
Accompanied by a group of soldiers, Chen Yu, the king of Zhao, climbed the steps that were still a little wet before dawn. Looking at the miserable scene from afar, Chen Yu held the wall with both hands, tightly supporting his trembling body, this trembling feeling had not happened for three or four years, at the beginning, or when Qin Chu was fighting, he had such a strange fear.
Is this fear?
Chen Yu straightened his chest, but he had to admit it in his heart. In fact, he is a hypocrite who is strong on the outside and does things in the middle.
"King Yu, the messenger of King Yan came to report that the reinforcements of his army went to the plain area, but they were blocked by a group of soldiers pretending to be Zhao army, and it is estimated that it will take ten days to reach Julu."
"Changshan Hou Zhongli came to report back, and his troops were entangled with the thief Peng Yue in the north of Juyeze, and they couldn't draw troops to help for a while."
"The Wei army is still thirty miles away from the battlefield, but the speed of the Wei army's movement is only three miles a day. This ββ! One bad news after another made Chen Yu, Zhang Liang and other Zhao generals breathless.
The princes will be in alliance, and when they are talking at the table, everyone is talking. scolded the brutality of the Qin army together, and agreed on the strategy of sending troops together, but when it came to actual operation, selfish distractions struck together. But the original so-called covenant was completely in vain. Judging from Chen Yu's unsuccessful alliance, the failure of the six Kwantung countries was also an inevitable result.
"The King. Can't wait any longer, ahem, ahemββ! Liang Dou had the courage to say that if the king did not save him when he saw death, Pei Gong's today would not be the king's tomorrow. Zhang Liang leaned on the city wall and said quietly, leaning out half of his body in the direction of Liu Bang's surroundment, and his thin figure contrasted with the hard stone city wall, looking extremely lonely.
"The king is slow, the morale of this Qin army is flourishing, it is not good for our army to fight at this time, it is better to send Li Qi to rush to the aid of Pei Gong, and when the Qin army is tired of tearing and killing, our army will kill from the city in one fell swoop, so that the battle can be worry-free." Beside Chen Yu, several Zhao Guo's subordinates heard Zhang Liang's sarcasm, and their faces changed, and among them, Zhao Guo's doctor Gongcheng Zilong angrily objected.
Gongcheng Zilong is Chen Yu's brother-in-law, a descendant of the powerful Gongcheng clan of Zhao State, after Chen Yu was crowned king, the Gongcheng clan is also rising, and the power is unique for a while.
"Doctor Gongcheng, Duke Pei is in danger, if the king is watching from the wall again, you think, how will the princes look at the king, and how will the people of Zhao view us." Zhang Liang retorted with a sneer.
"Zhang Zifang, you dare to say anything, come here, take it for me." Gongcheng Zilong was used to being pampered, and he couldn't answer for a while, so he had to threaten with his neck.
"Stand down. Don't worry, I, Chen Yu, am the leader of the alliance, I should fulfill the oath and never be the unrighteous person, and the generals will listen to the order: prepare for the army, open the door and attack, kill, kill, kill! Chen Yu let out a long breath, and shouted with a blue face.
When it comes to eloquence, Zhang Liang's tongue and argument skills cannot be said to be one of the best in Kanto, and he is also one of the top five celebrities.
"The king has an order, go out of the city and kill the enemy, kill the enemy!" The shouts of the heralds echoed in the city in the morning light, making the soldiers of the Zhao army who had been waiting and waiting busy in a hurry.
The deployment of the Zhao army was adjusted under chaotic orders again and again, and Chen Yu's hesitation and stubbornness made the generals of the Zhao army at the bottom at a loss, and among them, even Li Qi, the commander of the Zhao army on the right wing, felt in a dilemma.
Started to say that he wanted to help.
Later, he said that he would have to wait, and this wait was a day and a night, and seeing that Liu Bangjun on the left flank was about to run out, Chen Yu's order to attack was belated.
ββγ
The Zhao army went out of the city to invite the battle.
This is the result that Li Yuan is willing to see, in fact, the reason why he surrounded Liu Bang's remnants and did not fight was to provoke the civil strife of the Zhao army in Julu City.
In front of the Qin army.
The 20,000 infantry led by Li Yuan personally confronted Chen Yu and Li Qi's huge army of nearly 60,000, and the speed of the Zhao army this time was not bad, of course, in the end, it was due to the speed at which Li Qi almost abandoned the camp and rushed over.
A great war of no less than 80,000 men began.
If you add the remnants of Liu Bang, who were being encircled and suppressed by the Qin army, the number of troops involved in this battle is about 100,000, and this is only the situation on the Julu battlefield.
Quick.
Give somebody a taste of his own medicine. In front of all the princes, Li Yuan's newly built Qin army demonstrated the majesty of the army of the Great Qin king, revealing the invincible domineering spirit of the Great Qin army.
The drum beat was like thunder, and the dull sound of the heavy cavalry trampling the earth made people step on the ground, and there was a feeling of swaying left and right, and the five thousand heavy horsemen under the leadership of Su Jiao, the general of the Qin army, slowly turned over the low mound, and appeared in front of the generals of the Zhao army who had just lined up and were still a little panicked.
"It's Qin Cavalry, Heavy Armor Cavalry."
"Be quiet, beware of the general overheard."
In the Zhao army's formation, from time to time there was the whispering of the soldiers, and even some low-level captains and military marquis were looking at the enemy team that appeared on the flank with suspicious eyes.
"Give General Li Qi an order to the right flank troops to fight and meet the enemy cavalry." Chen Yuqiang suppressed his anxiety and anxiety, and issued the first order under the battle of the large corps.
"Da Zhao's sons, the time has come for us to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, kill, kill, kill!" Chen Yu raised his sword and slashed three times in a row, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at the Qin army on the opposite side.
Hearing Chen Yu's order, all the units of the Zhao army clamored in unison, and tens of thousands of soldiers shouted, and began to press towards the silent Qin army column on the opposite side.
The Qin army was under the army.
Li Yuan stared coldly at the every move of the Zhao army on the opposite side, Chen Yu's ridiculous dispatch made him feel like an adult bullying a child, just a feint of the Qin army's heavy cavalry, let Chen Yu dispatch Li Qi 20,000 people to deal with it, with infantry against the more powerful heavy cavalry with more mobile power and attacking power, if Li Qi could support two hours without breaking up, it would be good.
"Order: Cao Xin's stone throwing cart to cover the rear ββ! of the Zhao army"
"Order: Crossbowmen troops, three consecutive projectiles!"
"Heavy armor, out of the ranks, first team, press on."
The orders of the generals of the Qin army were passed from one army to another, and in the face of the enemies who outnumbered them, the generals of the Qin army not only did not fear, on the contrary, they were faintly excited.
A rabble.
When they saw the figures of the soldiers of the Zhao army running forward, being hit by throwing stones from time to time and falling from time to time, the faces of the generals of the Qin army showed disdainful expressions.
ββγ
Zhangshui.
Liu Bang had no way to retreat, and most of the 5,000 remnants of the soldiers in the morning surrendered under the persuasion of Chen Xuan, a general who should have been cut by a thousand cuts, and the remaining two or three hundred people were also in a state of flux, and their hands holding swords were gradually put down.
"Thief Chen, you want my Liu Ji's head, right, if you have the ability, you will come and take it." Liu Bang shook the pillar sword and stood under a broken sword, hissing and shouting.
"King Han, this is the first time that I Chen Xuan zuihou will call you, although you are no longer the King of Han. This world is already the world of Great Qin, it is already the world of Shenwu Hou, if you get to the Huangquan Road of the Difu, you also have the heart of anti-Qin. Chen Feng sneered and shouted.
"Ungrateful thief, don't want to dishonor me." Liu Bang shouted, raised his sword and slashed diagonally at Chen Xian, who was approaching step by step, he didn't understand what Chen Xuan was doing so closely, subconsciously, Liu Bang thought that Chen Xuan was going to capture him alive.
"Die." Chen Feng stepped forward with a sword and stabbed into Liu Bang's old and weak body very plainly, and with a slight pick of the sword body, it broke Liu Bang's unwilling heart.
"You ββ!" Liu Bang held on to Chen Xuan's stout body, and his eyes finally lost their lustre.
"If I don't kill you, how can Wuhou trust me." Chen Feng drew his sword hard, making Liu Bang's soft body lie on the ground, and behind Chen Xuan, Zhang Chun, Man Qiuchen, Chen Chu and other Han army generals swarmed up, slashing Liu Bang, who had lost his breath, until there was no longer a single bit of Zhao soldiers gasping and moaning on the high hill.
