Chapter 987: The Battle of the Giant Deer
The north is reckless, the north wind is cold, the sky is hazy, and the ice is frozen for thousands of miles.
A team of soldiers and horses appeared in the north out of thin air, the banners of the Xia army were hunting, and the soldiers in sharp clothes exhaled white breath and rubbed their hands because of the cold.
Chu Tian was wrapped in a cloak and looked around, it was actually winter.
The Overworld is October, and the Epic Dungeon is December, and it's freezing.
The 50,000 Xia soldiers who entered the dungeon were frozen because of the cold, and their halberd-holding hands were frozen.
"What battle will take place in the cold winter? This place seems familiar......"
Chu Tian fought in all directions in the Han Empire, and he had personally set foot in many places, so he could roughly distinguish where he was.
The scene in front of me seems to be in the Jizhou area north of the Yellow River......
There were many major battles in Jizhou, such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, where the officers and soldiers of the Han court fought a decisive battle with the three brothers Zhang Jiao in Julu County.
Chu Tian still remembers the first epic battle "Yellow Turban Rebellion", and the scene at that time seemed to be a little different from now.
Could it be that this is Julu County?
The big battle that took place in Julu County was a ......
Chu Tian thought of an earth-shattering battleβthe Battle of the Giant Deer.
The Battle of the Giant Deer is the battle of the overlord Xiang Yu's fame.
"It's not going to be the Battle of the Great Deer, is it?"
Summer Liang approached Chu Tian and breathed to his hands, dressed in white, his cheeks were red from the cold.
"Looks like nine times out of ten...... Knowing that the dungeon space is a cold winter wax moon, we should prepare more clothes. β
Chu Tian has already been somewhat sure that this epic battle is the Battle of the Giant Deer.
It's just that Chu Tian doesn't know which camp he belongs to.
In the battle of the giant deer, the overlord Xiang Yu fought with the Qin army, nine battles and nine victories, and all the princes of the world bowed to Xiang Yu.
Military merit can bring prestige, so meritorious service is said to be high.
The Battle of Julu was divided into two camps: the Qin army and the princes' coalition army.
In addition to the Chu army represented by Xiang Yu, there are also Zhao army, Qi army, and Yan army.
The allied forces of the princes were divided into two routes, Xiang Yu went north to rescue the Zhao army besieged by the Qin army in Julu, and Liu Bangxi conquered Guanzhong.
Liu Bang did not participate in the Battle of Julu.
The winner of the Battle of Julu was the alliance of princes represented by Xiang Yu, so theoretically it was more advantageous to be in the same camp as Xiang Yu.
The 50,000 army was waiting for the Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry to probe the surrounding terrain and situation, and at this time, a black-armored cavalry was approaching Chu Tian's 50,000 army.
"Meet the enemy!"
Since most of the troops were cavalry, the Xia army was assembled quickly.
The 5,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were also well-trained and lined up in a phalanx.
The black-armored cavalry who arrived did not know whether they were friends or foes.
"The Qin army advocates black, is this the cavalry of the Qin army?"
Chu Tian saw the black-armored cavalry approaching, and he knew it in his heart.
The black-armored cavalry stopped less than two hundred paces away from the 50,000 Xia army, and a black-armored general lined up: "You are a general sent by His Majesty?" β
Chu Tian probably knew that this black-armored general was the Qin army, and the Qin army general regarded him as a general sent by Qin II Hu Hai to support the Qin army.
Nine times out of ten, he joined the camp of the Qin army.
Chu Tian couldn't help but frown, the hostile camp was Xiang Yu, and he was going to fight with a saint-level fierce general......
Chu Tian was most proud of his cavalry.
However, there are a few other cavalry people who are also unparalleled in the world, Temujin, Xiang Yu, and Alexander......
When he met Xiang Yu this time, Chu Tian's cavalry was no longer the strongest.
Fighting with Xiang Yu, this was also too exciting, and Chu Tian couldn't bear it......
Chu Tian responded to General Qin: "Under Chu Zimou, I was ordered to come to help." Dare to ask the name of the general? β
General Qin was very satisfied when he saw that Chu Tian admitted that he had officially joined the camp of the Qin army in the Battle of Julu: "In the lower Mengtian general, now it is General Wang Li's general. β
"It turned out to be the ...... of General Shiruma"
Chu Tian really didn't know this person.
But Chu Tian knew about Meng Tian and Wang Li.
For Meng Tian, Chu Tian knew it, because Meng Tian worked under Chu Tian.
Wang Li is also a celebrity.
Wang Li's father is Wang Ben, and Wang Ben's father is Wang Qian.
The three generations of the Wang family are all Qin generals. Wang Qian, Wang Ben, and Wang Li's abilities are not bad, of course, Wang Jian is greater than Wang Ben, and Wang Ben is greater than Wang Li.
Wang Li is also a famous general, after Meng Tian committed suicide, Wang Li succeeded Meng Tian and took charge of the Great Wall Army.
Later, the Great Wall Army fled one after another in the late Qin Dynasty, and Wang Li led the remnants of the Great Wall Army to the south and joined forces with the Qin general Zhang Han to suppress the late Qin rebel army at the end of Qin.
However, Wang Li met the overlord Xiang Yu and was defeated and died, and the Great Qin royal family has declined since then.
After Meng Tian's death, Wang Li took over Meng Tian's position, so Shima also followed Wang Li south to suppress the rebel army at the end of Qin and entered the Julu battlefield.
According to the comparison of abilities, Shima's ability is lower than that of Wang Li.
"General Wang Li is already waiting for you outside Julu City, with your army coming to help, I will definitely teach this group of remnants of the Six Kingdoms to look good."
Shibu looked at the 50,000 troops brought by Chu Tian.
Chutian's 50,000 troops were all high-level troops, comparable to the Qin army at its peak.
Shima couldn't help but be envious: "If the first emperor is still there, and there is a Qin army that swept through the six countries, how can the Kwantung thieves be so arrogant?" No, if Gongzi Fusu and General Meng Tian were alive, the Kwantung thieves would not dare to do so. β
Chu Tian thought this sentence was true.
The Qin army during the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin and Qin Shi Huang was at its peak, and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms were suppressed to the death, and during the period of Qin II, the Qin army that swept through the Six Kingdoms was no longer what it used to be.
At this time, it has been thirty years since Qin Shi Huang began to monopolize power, and more than ten years have passed since the establishment of the Qin Empire, and many Qin troops who swept through the six countries are already old people.
In addition, without Qin Shi Huang presiding over the overall situation, Qin II and Zhao Gao could not suppress the nobles of the Six Kingdoms at all.
Although the Dragon Emperor is old, the heroes of the Kanto region will also be jealous.
The Dragon Emperor died, Qin lost his deer, and the heroes chased the Central Plains.
As a military general in the Mengtian era, Shima should be a general appointed at the end of Qin Shi Huang, so he naturally misses the era when the Qin army was strong, not the current stormy Great Qin Empire.
The deaths of Gongzi Fusu and Meng Tian can be regarded as cutting off the last hope of the Qin Empire.
Perhaps, the combination of Gongzi Fusu and Meng Tian can prolong the national glory of the Qin Empire.
But history has no ifs.
This is a copy of the epic battle, and what Chutian strives to do is to let the Qin army represented by himself win and challenge the alliance of princes represented by the overlord Xiang Yu.
Although the rebel army at the end of Qin was launched by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the results of the uprising had been seized by the nobles of the Six Kingdoms at this time.
Xiang Yu was the queen of the Chu State.
Trapped in Julu City were the nobles of the Zhao Kingdom.
In other words, it was a war between the Qin army and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.
The nobles of the Six Kingdoms are still afraid of the Qin army, and the fear engraved in their bones is that unless the god of war descends from the sky and can defeat the Qin army, the fear of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms against the Qin army can be eliminated.
The 50,000 Xia troops under the command of Chu Tian gathered and followed the 500 Qin cavalry of the Shejian to march towards Julu City.
"How many soldiers and horses does General Wang Li have?"
Chu Tian thought it was necessary to know the reality of the Qin army in this battle, after all, the opponent was Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, which was extraordinary.
If Chu Tian had not intervened, the Qin army would have been crushed by Xiang Yu head-on.
"200,000 Great Wall troops, of which tens of thousands are elite. The Great Wall Army is no longer what it used to be, and there are a large number of fugitives, 200,000, many of whom come from the young people who built the Great Wall. The main general will be General Wang Li, and under him are two generals, Su Jiao and me. β
Shima hated the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and was quite enthusiastic about Chu Tian as a friendly army, explaining the details of the Qin army to Chu Tian.
"200,000 Great Wall Army ......"
Because Chu Tian has many generals, he knows how many troops a general can easily command.
The 200,000 Great Wall Army, even the king-level commanders are very reluctant, and the emperor-level commanders can be handy.
Wang Li's commander-in-command value, Chu Tian didn't think that he could provide a bonus for the 200,000 Great Wall Army.
Even if Wang Li plus Shejian and Su Jiao, the three of them, their bonuses are difficult to cover the 200,000 army.
According to Shima, among the 200,000 Great Wall Army, it is estimated that only a few tens of thousands of them are the real special type of "Great Wall Army", that is, Meng Tian's old department.
This group of troops is also Wang Li's real elite.
Shima continued: "In the south of Julu, there are more than 200,000 troops of Zhang Han, of which tens of thousands are the elite of Guanzhong, and the rest are prisoners of Lishan. Zhang Han was in charge of protecting the grain routes and blocking the thieves from the south. Our grain comes from Guanzhong and Luoyang. None of the thieves in the Kanto region were Zhang Han's opponents, and Xiang Liang was killed by Zhang Han. β
"In other words, the Qin army has 400,000, of which the elite is about 100,000."
Chu Tian probably knew the battle of Julu and the strength of the Qin army's camp.
Although the generals of the Qin army did not have an advantage, the Qin army had a large number of troops.
Zhang Han was the last pillar of the late Qin Dynasty, suppressing the rebel army, and the uncle of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, fought with Zhang Han in Dingtao, and was defeated and died.
Zhang Han is also unlucky, if he doesn't meet Xiang Yu and Han Xin, Zhang Han can be regarded as a first-class general, but unfortunately Zhang Han lost to Xiang Yu and Han Xin successively, becoming a stepping stone for the two.
Zhang Han's most famous deeds were organizing the Lishan prisoners to defeat the peasant rebel army of the late Qin dynasty that threatened Guanzhong.
Of course, Zhang Han has already gathered tens of thousands of Qin troops in Guanzhong, and these Qin troops are the real main force of the Lishan army.
At present, there are 400,000 Qin troops in the Chutian camp!
There are also a lot of rebels on the opposite side, and the only one who really dares to fight with the Qin army is Xiang Yu's legion.
If Xiang Yu can win many battles, the rest of the rebel armies may also join the war.
How to defeat Xiang Yu and how strong Xiang Yu was, these were all problems that Chu Tian couldn't solve for a while.
The 50,000 Xia army approached Julu, and the Xia army could already see the faint city of Julu City, as well as the black and oppressive Qin army camp.
The troops brought by Chu Tian were only a quarter of Wang Li's 200,000 Great Wall Army!
In addition to the Great Wall Army, Zhang Han's Lishan Prisoner Army also has 200,000!
It was hard for Chu Tian to imagine that such a huge army would be defeated by Xiang Yu.
This also shows Xiang Yu's terrible from the side.
Shima said: "Those who are besieged in Julu City are the remnants of Zhao State, Zhao Xie, the king of Zhao, Zhang Er, the minister of state, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. To the north of Julu was the remnants of Chen Yu, the general of Zhao State, with tens of thousands of troops. Around Chen Yu's camp, there are also Qi army and Yan army, and there are many soldiers and horses. However, they are just a rabble and nothing to fear. As long as they kill King Zhao, they will be frightened and will not attack themselves. β
Chu Tian did not doubt Shima's words.
The idiom of "watching from the wall" comes from the battle of Julu, where the princes from all walks of life have nothing to do with themselves, hanging high, only Xiang Yu is at the forefront, challenging the invincible Qin army in the world.
Therefore, although there are soldiers and horses of Zhao, Qi, and Yan in the north of Julu, and Chu in the south, in fact, only Xiang Yu has to deal with this army of soldiers and horses.
In addition, there are also legions brought by the princes such as Tongque and Liu Bei who arrived from the main world.
If Xiang Yu's battle is unfavorable, the NPC rebels in the north will not dare to act rashly.
On the contrary, if Xiang Yu breaks the Qin army, the rebel army north of Julu will intervene in the battlefield, and the Qin army will be in danger.
When the 200,000 Great Wall troops saw the arrival of the 50,000 Xia troops, they all cast surprised looks.
Even the Qin army was very interested in the war horses and great armor of the Iron Cavalry Army brought by Chu Tian.
Chutian's 20,000 iron cavalry troops are all high-level troops, and they are also equipped with the best war horses and armor.
Chu Tian garrisoned troops outside Julu City.
The princes north of Julu couldn't help but be shocked when they saw that the Qin army had obtained a brave and warlike army, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
Wang Li met with Chu Tian, and Chu Tian was also able to see Wang Qian's grandson.
Chu Tian didn't have much respect for Wang Li, because even Wang Jian was serving under Chu Tian.
"Soon, as long as the giant deer is defeated, King Zhao is killed, and his head is transmitted to Luoyang, then the anti-thieves will all be frightened, and the world can be determined. My king is leaving, and I also want to be like my ancestors and make immortal contributions. β
Wang Li saw the quelling of the uprising at the end of Qin as an opportunity for his own meritorious service.
If the Great Qin Empire can be rebuilt, then Wang Li's credit is estimated to be the same as that of Wang Jian and Wang Ben.
Chu Tian just smiled slightly, and asked Wang Li for all kinds of supplies, and at the same time brought the relationship closer.
Unlike the Battle of Kunyang, Chutian can trust Liu Xiu. In the battle of the giant deer, Chu Tian couldn't trust Wang Li.
Not to mention Wang Li, even if Wang Ben is in the battle of Julu, he may not be able to stop Xiang Yu, and Wang Jian is very reluctant. Because in "Lord", Xiang Yu is a king and a saint-level general.
The difficulty of the Battle of Julu is much more difficult than the Battle of Kunyang, and it is not easy to break the game.
"To the south of Julu is Zhang Han's army of 200,000, and further south is the Chu army. If Xiang Yu's Chu army broke through the cauldron and went north, then a big battle would definitely break out with Zhang Han's 200,000 army first. The Chu army cannot be allowed to achieve its goal easily. β
Chu Tian was on the snow, drawing a general topographical map with tree branches.
Xia Liang, Wei Qing, and Sun Bin discussed with Chu Tian a strategy to break the situation.
As for Li Guang and Dian Wei, Chu Tian didn't expect them to break the game.
The battlefield situation in the Battle of the Giant Deer is very clear.
Wang Li's 200,000 Great Wall troops besieged Julu and dealt with the princes of the north.
Zhang Han's 200,000 Lishan troops protected the grain route and dealt with the princes in the south.
The grain of the Qin army was transported by water from Guanzhong and Heluo to Hebei.
Sun Bin said: "Chenguan Wang Li, Shejian, Su Jiao and others are far inferior to the lord and General Wei Qing, it is better to try to empty their military power and lead the Qin army to fight with the Chu army. β
"Alternate Wang Li's military power? It's not easy. β
Sun Bin proposed a plan to replace Wang Li and Zhang Han and command the Qin army to engage the Chu army.
Chu Tian was sweating, and he wanted to seize power, and he had to face Xiang Yu head-on, and the difficulty of the battle of the giant deer was not small.
