The air was filled with the smell of smoke, and the wind always carried a cloud of dust.

Han Xin spat and swept his gaze over the faces of the soldiers not far away, all he saw was confused and decadent. Han Xinxin knew that since the road to the north was cut off, the morale of the entire team had suffered a huge blow, and it seemed that he had to find a way to reunite the morale of the army.

His gaze retracted, and then fell on the three of Tian Shi, and continued; "Okay, everyone knows the basic situation, I want to hear your opinions."

Tian Shi lowered his head and said slowly; "If it is really Xiang Yu who personally leads the troops here, then we are very dangerous."

Han Xin nodded and said; "I asked the scout, and he saw with his own eyes the appearance of the person leading the troops, and I was almost sure that it was Xiang Yu."

The air suddenly froze, and all four of them had a heavy heart on their faces.

Since the first battle of Julu, Xiang Yu's prestige has spread almost all over the world, especially in the hearts of the Northern Army, Xiang Yu is an invincible and terrible opponent - even Wang Li's more than 200,000 elites in a hundred battles can't last a day, do you still expect this tired remnant army to resist?

Zhao Wuji was the first to speak, breaking the silence; "Why don't we go south to Zhang Han, he is a victorious general, and he has an army of 260,000 in his hands, so he may not lose to Xiang Yu." After speaking, he lowered his head and pretended not to look at the angry eyes handed by Daotian City and Huangfu Gui.

Although he was born in the Northern Army, he had already been separated from the Northern Army for a long time, and he had followed Han Xin to serve under Zhang Han's account for a long time, so his hatred for Zhang Han was naturally far inferior to Tian Shi and Huangfu Gui, who had countless casualties among his subordinates.

Han Xin shook his head and said; "If it was in the city of Yanyu, we would have been able to go south to meet the general of Zhang, but now it is not possible. Hedong is 800 miles away from Yinqiu, and the road is the territory of the coalition army, if we go to defect, I am afraid that the road will already be surrounded by a large army. ”

After a pause, Han Xin said slowly: "And if nothing else, I think General Zhang Shang has also been defeated by Xiang Yu." Otherwise, Xiang Yu would never abandon the main force of our Qin army, but came to pursue our remnants. ”

All three were dumbfounded, and their faces turned pale. Although Tian Shi and Huangfu Gui hated Zhang Han, they also knew that the army in his hand was the last available army of Qin, and if even he was defeated, then Qin's national fortunes would really be irretrievable.

Huang Bo Gyu asked; "General Han, are you saying that Zhang Han's army has also been destroyed?" After speaking, he stared at Han Xin nervously, for fear of getting confirmation from his mouth. He was born in the old Qin family of Longxi, and he was naturally extremely loyal to the Qin State.

Seeing Han Xin shaking his head, Huangfu Gui breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to Han Xin again; "It should be defeat, not rout. I think General Zhang Shang met the morale-boosting Chu army, so he lost again and again and had to retire to protect himself. Thinking that Xiang Yu must have arranged heavy troops to besiege General Zhangshang, so he could only chase us with more than 10,000 cavalry. ”

Seeing that Han Xin had deduced so much just from a little information reported by the scout, the three of Tian Shi couldn't help but show admiration on their faces, and they all looked at him in unison.

Han Xin thought about it for a while and said; "Although the Chu army is brave and elite, the number of horsemen is not more than 10,000, and our army still has the strength to fight. We have been circulating for a few days, and most of the soldiers are exhausted, but the Chu army has not had a chance to rest since the Battle of Julu, and it is also the end of the strong crossbow, so they have no advantage in this regard. ”

"What they rely on is Xiang Yu's courage alone, and I have a way to deal with it myself."

Han Xinzhong knew that the reason why Xiang Yu chased after him with a light horse must have known that he was in the Qin army. Thinking of this, Han Xin couldn't help but feel a sense of arrogance, and thought in his heart; Big brother, if you are so confident that you can defeat me, then I will definitely make you pay the price for despising me! ”

In fact, what Han Xin expected was not much different from the truth, Zhang Han was indeed defeated, and he was defeated very badly.

After hearing that the Northern Army was annihilated and Wang Li and Su Jiao were all killed in the chaos, Zhang Han could no longer hold his breath, and hurriedly ordered the army and went north to attack Xiang Yu.

He originally thought that the northern army was defeated so badly, and the Chu army itself must have suffered heavy losses, so he could just go north to reap the benefits of the fisherman. But when he really fought against Xiang Yu, he realized that his idea was very wrong.

Zhang Han was conceited all his life, and the only person he admired was the general Wang Qian. He didn't think that he underestimated Xiang Yu's ability, he gave Xiang Yu a lot of attention, and even felt that he overestimated Xiang Yu.

But when he really faced Xiang Yu, he realized the powerlessness and despair that Li You had at the beginning.

The elite soldiers in the world are nothing more than Qin and Zhao, the biggest opponent of Qin's domination of the world, and the most difficult bone to gnaw, is the Zhao State that established the country with Hufu cavalry. Zhang Han often accompanied Wang Jian by his side, fought frequently with the Zhao State, and greatly appreciated the bravery of the Zhao people, as for the Chu people, it was just a laughing stock in the world. The state of Chu is very big, when it is strong, it is much larger than the territory of the six countries combined, it is densely populated and rich in products, and when it fights, it carries a million armor, but its combat effectiveness is extremely low, and the soldiers are afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and they are already afraid before fighting, and they are laughed at by the world.

But the Chu army, which was as weak as a lamb in the eyes of the Qin people, burst out with unimaginable courage and determination under the leadership of Xiang Yu. After completely annihilating Su Jiao and Wang Li's subordinates, Xiang Yu actually looked up to the sky and laughed when he heard that Zhang Han had led troops to attack; "The old man of Zhang Han also came to die."

The soldiers of the Chu army were infected by the commander, and they also laughed one after another, not taking Zhang Han's more than 200,000 troops to heart.

Xiang Yu immediately ordered the three armies, and then joined up with the Yingbu Division, ordering the princes' armies to follow, and he himself led the Chu army to pounce head-on.

Zhang Han originally thought that after the Chu army fought one after another, it would definitely suffer heavy losses and be exhausted, and when he saw the powerful Qin army coming, he should temporarily avoid the edge. But he didn't expect Xiang Yu to play his cards according to common sense at all, not to give himself any time to rest at all, and not to give Qin Jun a chance to prepare, just blindly attacking. And the soldiers of the Chu army under him had already been aroused by their invincible commander, and they didn't care about being tired, they just followed Xiang Yu to kill fiercely, and they were not afraid of life and death at all.

Xiang Yu caught the Qin army off guard, he was like an invincible god of war on the battlefield, no matter how strong the Qin army's defense line was, as long as he swung his halberd, the Chu soldiers rushed forward desperately. At the same time, he is also a famous general with superb vision, who can always grasp the ever-changing opportunities on the battlefield, and the impact points he chooses are the weakness of the Qin army.

Encouraged by the courage of the Chu army, the morale of the anti-Qin coalition forces from all walks of life was also greatly boosted, and the army, which was originally a rabble, actually broke out with unexpected combat power. Under the leadership of the Chu army, Zhang Han was defeated again and again, and suffered heavy losses. In the end, it was only by relying on Zhang Han's superb command ability that he got rid of the pursuit of the Chu army, and the main force was able to retreat into Yinxu in Henan to protect himself, while Xiang Yu led the army to surround Yinxu.

After this battle, there was no Qin army in Hebei, and the Qin State's sphere of influence was only Guanzhong and Henan, which was not guaranteed. On the one hand, Zhang Han strengthened the layout of the city defense, and on the other hand, he quickly asked for help from Xianyang, asking for reinforcements from soldiers and grain.

When Xiang Yuzheng was arrogantly stepping up the siege of Zhang Han, he got the news of the defeat of Long He, and he was the only one in the 50,000 army who fled back, and he also knew that the commander of the Qin army was actually his sworn brother Han Xin, who had been missing for a long time!

At first, although Yingbu was defeated, only the armies of Yan, Zhao, and Daidi were lost, and the Chu army was intact, so Xiang Yu didn't care too much, but he felt a little regretful that he couldn't completely annihilate the northern army. This time, Long Ji lost nearly 10,000 Chu army armor soldiers, how could he not be angry. When he heard that it was Han Xin's doing, he was eager to try and handed over the army to Fan Zengyingbu, and he himself led the elite light cavalry to pursue.

After two days of pursuit to the north, he received a report from the Zhao army in Jinyang, knowing that the Qin army was blocked in Jinyang and the road to the north was cut off, so he had to divert to the south and return to Qin by way of Hedong, so Xiang Yu quickly chased to the southwest.

After more than ten days of fierce fighting, the soldiers of the Chu army were already exhausted, and many soldiers would even fall off their horses because they couldn't help falling asleep during the march.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu ordered to rest in place for a day, but only sent scouts to inform the defenders of Zhao Di and ask them to report the traces of the Qin army, so that the scouts of the Qin army found them and gave Han Xin time to prepare.

Han Xin naturally would not waste this hard-won opportunity, he ordered Huangfu Gui to join Tian City, with more than 10,000 foot soldiers to dismount and form a formation, and he took the 7,000 cavalry of his headquarters to hide in a forest on the high ground next to him. Zhao Wuji led a thousand light horsemen and shouldered a very important task.

That is to lure the Chu army. lure Xiang Yu to come.

Han Xin is playing with fire, and he bets that Chu Jun will take the bait and Xiang Yu will take the bait. The fact is indeed as he expected, as soon as the Chu army saw a group of remnants of the Qin army coming from afar, they were shocked when they saw them 'unexpectedly' seeing themselves, and they switched their horses and fled.

The soldiers of Chu suddenly shouted excitedly, Han Xin was right, the Chu army after the big victory was already full of arrogance, they despised all the armies in the world, and only felt that under the leadership of Xiang Yu, they could defeat any opponent, even if it was a conspiracy. Without waiting for Xiang Yu's orders, the Chu soldiers got on their horses one after another. Xiang Yu only hesitated for a while, and when he saw that the soldiers' desire to fight was high, he didn't think much about it, and immediately got on his horse and waved his army to chase after him.

Zhao Wuji's light cavalry to lure the enemy was indeed light enough, in order to speed up the escape, they didn't even wear armor, but simply carried light swords, so they left the Chu army far behind.

When nearly 10,000 Qin infantry appeared at the end of the horizon in a neat array, Xiang Yu realized that something was wrong when he saw the more than 1,000 Qin cavalry quickly hiding behind the Qin army's formation. He had noticed the dense jungle on the low hillside in the distance, and there was a faint worry in his heart.

If he had changed to the usual Xiang Yu, he would definitely have ordered the attack to stop, instead gathered to confront the Qin army, and then sent scouts to the woods to check carefully. But now Xiang Yu is carrying the huge victory after the Battle of Julu, his self-confidence and pride have swelled to the extreme, he despises all heroes in the world, and everyone is not his opponent Xiang Yu.

Therefore, his worries were only fleeting, and then he thought with confidence that even if there were really ambush soldiers, as long as he could defeat the Qin army that was defending in front of him, then all the conspiracies would be impossible to talk about.

And Han Xin's bet is Xiang Yu's arrogance!

Proud soldiers will be defeated, since ancient times!

In front of the battle, Huangfu Gui's eyes widened angrily, staring at the Chu cavalry that was roaring in the distance. It was this army that caused his robes and brothers to suffer heavy casualties, and made the invincible army that once swept through the six countries completely withdraw from the stage of history. At this moment, his heart was just full of war intent, wanting to avenge the Northern Army, the Qin Army, and this Great Qin!

"Pass my command, the crossbowman shoots three breaths and retreats back to the formation, and the shield halberd is on standby!"

Crossbow arrows are always the sharpest weapon of the Qin army, especially in the face of cavalry charges!

"Five hundred steps, get on your knees." Huangfu Gui pointed his sword forward and shouted loudly. A thousand crossbowmen knelt in unison, and the sound of the armor scraping against each other sounded. Although the ground in front of them trembled slightly from the sound of horses' hooves falling, and although their faces were a little pale from fear of Xiang Yu's prestige, the Qin army's good training was evident at this time. The courage and determination of the generals can arouse the inertia of obedience to military orders in the bones of every soldier of the Qin army.

Xiang Yu's miscalculation was a miscalculation every time he faced the Qin army, he relied on surprise, but this time the Qin army came prepared, and he had already patiently laid out the formation.

"Three hundred steps, put." Huangfu Gui roared, the sword in his hand swung down heavily, and more than a thousand crossbow arrows hit the body of the Chu cavalry like a storm, splashing a splash of blood. But the Chu army was not afraid, their eyes were red, murderous, and the blood only stimulated their bloodthirsty desire.

Kill!

A few seconds later, the second round of crossbow arrows from the Qin army arrived, and after inflicting heavy casualties on the Chu army, the crossbowmen quickly retreated into the military formation, because the cavalry of the Chu army was approaching in an instant.

Just a few seconds after the shield array was closed, the vanguard cavalry of the Chu army had already arrived, and the huge momentum of the war horse knocked away the Qin army's not very solid line in an instant, and at the moment when the halberd hand was killed, the halberd in his hand also pierced deeply into the belly of the horse, and led people to turn over on their backs. The follow-up Qin soldiers gritted their teeth and desperately blocked it, bearing the crazy impact of the Chu army.

Xiang Yu's eyes were full of killing intent, he watched nearly a thousand of his subordinates die under the crossbow arrows of the Qin army, this is the most elite unit he relied on to become famous, and he was shot and killed by such a rout in vain, how could he not be angry!

He took the lead, and the halberd in his hand was like a symbol of the Qin army's urging for life, and wherever he went, the Qin army was all killed and wounded, and countless soldiers died under his halberd.

Although the knights in the front kept falling, the Chu army squeezed the Qin army's phalanx back little by little, forming a dangerous arc.

In the woods above the hill, Han Xin looked at the battlefield below the mountain expressionlessly on his horse. Win Ke couldn't hold his breath, and said anxiously on the side; "Brother Han, they can't hold it anymore, aren't we going to rescue yet?"

Han Xin shook his head, not saying a word, his expression extremely serious. Ying Ke bit his lip and forced himself not to continue talking.

The battlefield under the mountain has been bloody, the defense line of the Qin army has been crumbling, and the vanguard of the Chu army led by Xiang Yu has broken into the Qin army, and the situation is extremely critical. Win Ke couldn't help but say again: "If we don't go, they will be wiped out." ”

Han Xin didn't stay silent anymore, but raised his head and took a deep breath, and said slowly; "Now is not the time. The Chu army has not lost its spirit, and the horsepower has not been exhausted, so wait. ”

The horn of the Chu army sounded suddenly, Xiang Yu had already led his guards deep into the Qin army's array, dividing the Qin army into two halves, and the Chu army behind him then rushed in, and the Qin army was on the verge of collapse. But at the same time, because the Chu army was deeply trapped in the Qin army's formation, it had lost the horsepower it relied on, and it turned into a stalemate melee.

At this time, Han Xin finally raised his hand, drew his sword, and roared; "The Qin army is mighty!"

"Kill!"
