Chapter 994: The Qin Army Unites
Zhang Han retreated along Zhangshui, and the four grain transportation roads had all been occupied by the Chu army, and the army was defeated like a mountain.
In the Central Plains, Zhang Han fought hard three times, slashed the famous general Xiang Liang of the Chu army, and at this time, the more terrible overlord of Western Chu was born, breaking the Qin army, and Zhang Han's Lishan army was wiped out by 100,000, leaving only 100,000.
The commander of the Qin army, Shi Sima Xin, and the captain Dong Peng, were all embarrassed.
Xiang Yu was in a no-man's land in their army, and no one could stop him from advancing, as if the two sides were not at the same level.
The struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han is different from that of the Three Kingdoms.
The Three Kingdoms did not have a particularly strong commander, and Guan Yu could threaten the Central Plains, but he was defeated and took Maicheng; Cao Cao swept across the north, but there was a fire burning Chibi; Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan Liu, but fell into Wuzhang Plain......
The gap between the stalls of Chu and Han is too obvious, Xiang Yu and Han Xin are the only ones, and other famous generals of the same period will almost only be swept when they encounter these two people.
Zhang Han can also be regarded as a king-level commander, but he is still indispensable to be defeated by Xiang Yu.
"The children of Jiangdong, for the strongest army of the Six Kingdoms, is the nursery rhyme of Qin Bichu actually true?"
Zhang Han was a little skeptical of life at this time.
Xiang Yu did not choose a surprise attack, but fought head-on, defeating Zhang Han in a dignified manner, so that Zhang Han could not find a step for himself.
However, Zhang Han's mentality is not bad, he has not completely collapsed, and the 200,000 Qin army has at least kept 100,000.
Sima Xin said to Zhang Han: "General, on the battlefield just now, if it weren't for Wang Li's still a support army to attract the attention of the Chu army, we might have been wiped out." ”
Zhang Han seemed to react because of Sima Xin's reminder: "Send someone to contact Wang Li immediately...... Chu Zimou. Sima Xin, you go there in person. ”
Chu Tian and Wang Li originally planned to join Zhang Han and fight Xiang Yu.
However, there were two accidents on the way, so that after discussing with Sun Bin, Chu Tian and Sun Bin decided to retreat to Julu City and use the fortifications to block Xiang Yu's attack.
One of the accidents was that Xiang Yu triggered the "Broken Cauldron and Sinking the Boat" feature, and the offensive ability of the Chu army was directly increased by 1.4 times, if you add the full morale state, the offensive ability of the Chu army is stronger, and it can continue to fight, and it is not impossible to fight in three days and nine battles.
Another surprise was that Xiang Yu marched quickly, and had already defeated the Qin army commanded by Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Peng when Chutian resisted the battlefield. Without Zhang Han's cooperation, Chu Tian wanted to win, but it was actually quite difficult.
Fortunately, Chu Tian built earthen ramparts, trenches, and arrow towers south of Julu City in advance, turning the field battle into a defensive battle.
The Chu army came from a shipwreck, so it was naturally impossible to bring trebuchets and other siege equipment.
Wang Li found Chu Tian: "The northern battlefield of Zhangshui, why don't you continue to attack?" ”
"Zhang Han has been defeated, the morale of the Chu army is still high, it is not rational to fight a decisive battle at this time, it is better to hold on for two days, wait for the morale of the Chu army to decline, and then fight with the Chu army."
Chu Tian's intentions were simple.
The SSS-level cauldron and shipwreck characteristic effect is very strong, and there are limitations, that is, it can only last for three days, and the effect disappears after three days, and the Chu army returns to normal, and then it is their own time.
Of course, the premise is that it can be kept.
"The Zhao army, the Yan army, and the Qi army have assembled in the north of the giant deer again!"
When Chu Tian returned to his original camp, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, who had been defeated by Chu Tian, learned that the Chu army had won, so they made a comeback and camped in the north of Julu City.
The descendants of the Six Kingdoms were defeated by the Qin army many times, but the weeds could not be burned, the spring breeze blew and reborn, and Zhang Han and Wang Li were like firefighters.
"This group of remnants of the Six Kingdoms should be punished!"
Wang Li heard that after the descendants of Zhao, Yan, and Qi gathered the remnants of the army, they appeared in the north of Julu again, and he was immediately furious, so Wang Li beheaded Chen Yu, the general of Zhao who was captured by Chutian, to sacrifice the military flag of Qin.
"The descendants of the Six Kingdoms, except for Xiang Yu, don't care about others. Leaving 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses to defend the northern princes' coalition army, 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses to besiege Julu. ”
Chu Tian didn't care much about the Zhao Jun and Yan Jun who came back.
He is deploying a defensive line, Xiang Yu is already heading north, and the two sides may have to fight under Julu City.
"The Great Wall Army is responsible for consuming the strength of the Chu Army, Li Guang, you are responsible for keeping an eye on Xiang Yu."
Chu Tian tried his best to maintain the number of iron cavalry and used it to deal with Xiang Yu.
The Iron Cavalry has the ability to kill fierce generals.
Liu Bei and Zhou Dewei were besieged by the Iron Cavalry and were defeated and killed.
Only the king of Lanling and Chen Xi were still alive in the Shu army, and the king of Lanling was also seriously wounded.
"Maybe the Iron Cavalry besieges Xiang Yu and can fight Xiang Yu to death, but how many Iron Cavalry will be consumed?"
Chu Tian had to consider using the Iron Cavalry as a winning hole card to besiege Xiang Yu.
Li Guang and Dian Wei are not Xiang Yu's opponents, so they can only use the crowd tactics, and they are also the crowd tactics composed of high-level troops.
Only a handful of fierce generals can enjoy such treatment.
"Shi Sima Xin, the lieutenant commander of Zhang Han's army, is ordered by General Zhang Han to come and meet with the generals!"
A Qin general galloped with all his strength and came to Wang Li's army, changing three war horses on the way!
Changshi is equivalent to chief of staff.
Chu Tian knew Sima Xin, and this could be regarded as a character.
Historically, after Zhang Han surrendered to Xiang Yu, Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Peng were divided by Xiang Yu into the land of Guanzhong, respectively, King Yong, King Sai, and King Zhai, known as Sanqin, and guarded Liu Bang, who was sealed to Hanzhong.
Later, Liu Bang and Han Xinming repaired the plank road, secretly Chen Cang, and defeated Sanqin.
Sima Xin has a certain ability, but his ability to command soldiers and horses is not as good as that of Zhang Han and Wang Li.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Sima Xin was also one of the few generals in the Qin army camp who could be appointed.
When Sima Xin saw Chu Tian, he couldn't help but be grateful: "Thanks to General Chu and General Wang for sending troops to help, we can avoid the annihilation of the whole army, otherwise we will definitely be executed by Zhao Gao." ”
"Zhao Gao ......"
Chu Tian couldn't help but think of pointing the deer as a horse, and Zhao Gao could be regarded as having collapsed the empire, making the already precarious Qin Dynasty even worse.
In fact, according to the real Battle of Julu, after Zhang Han was defeated by Xiang Yu, he led 200,000 Qin troops to contain Xiang Yu in Hebei for a year, and asked the imperial court for reinforcements, but Zhao Gao's reaction made Zhang Han think that Zhao Gao wanted to kill him, so he surrendered to Xiang Yu.
Zhao Gao was a sinner in the Qin Empire.
Sima Xin continued: "Now that the Chu army is speeding up its march north, the momentum is like a rainbow, General Zhang Han asks the generals to hold on to the giant deer, wait for the morale and physical strength of the soldiers to recover, and then fight to the death with the Chu army. ”
Chu Tian asked, "How long will it take?" ”
"The short is seven days, and the long is ten days and a half months."
"No, you can't. Xiang Yu is anxious to fight, and he will definitely attack desperately, and defense is not his style. In this way, I will send Wei Qing to take over your cavalry. Wei Qing commanded the cavalry, and Zhang Han commanded the infantry, and set off three days later to attack the Chu army with us at Julu City. ”
Chutian decided to let Wei Qing take the cavalry of Feizhanghan's Lishan army.
Wei Qing's cavalry must be stronger than that of Commander Zhang Han.
Zhang Han was better at commanding infantry.
"In three days, the soldiers may not be able to rest."
"The fighter plane is fleeting, our side is short of food and grass, whether we can hold on for three days, we have to say twice, there is no need to be full."
"Okay......"
Sima Xin looked at Wei Qing, according to Chu Tian, Wei Qing might be able to raise the combat power of Zhang Han's army to a higher level.
Wei Qing and Sima Xin immediately went south and returned to Zhang Han's army.
"The Chu army is here!"
The day after Chu Tian and Wang Li retreated north, the fierce Chu army appeared in the south of Julu, the Jiangdong soldiers opened the way at the front, and the Zhao army trapped in Julu City finally saw reinforcements!
