Chapter 997: On the eve of the decisive battle

"The flanks have been breached, and there is a temporary truce!"

Fan Zeng saw that the flank composed of the Jingzhou army and the Jiaozhou army was routed by the iron cavalry, and the iron cavalry tried to attack the Chu army camp around the rear, so he again called in to withdraw his troops.

Xiang Yu had already broken through Wang Li's Qin army, demolished seven arrow towers of the Qin army, beheaded more than 1,000 people, and killed all sides.

However, Chutian once again avoided engaging Xiang Yu and attacked the Jingzhou army and the Jiaozhou army covering Xiang Yu in an attempt to encircle Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu heard the voice of the Mingjin defenders and had to retreat.

The Great Wall Army besieged Xiang Yu and was defeated by Xiang Yu again.

The Iron Cavalry did not try to attack the Chu army camp, but retreated in time.

When Xiang Yu turned back, he pounced on the air again.

"Qin Jun is playing with us......"

Fan Zeng felt like he was being teased again.

Chu Tian dealt with Xiang Yu and never attacked head-on, but only attacked from the flank, encircling Wei to save Zhao.

As soon as Xiang Yu retreated, the offensive of the Chu army was contained.

Yang Shilang and Wang Defa fled back in disgrace.

On the other side, the Beifu Army also had to retreat.

"The effect of breaking the cauldron is only one day, and if we don't completely break through the defense line of the Qin army, our troops will become smaller and smaller, and it will be difficult to win."

Tongque saw that the Jingzhou army and the Jiaozhou army were also heavily damaged, and only the Chu army and the Jiangdong army were left, and fell silent.

"I'll help you four thousand Jiangdong disciples to strengthen the flanks."

Xiang Yu handed over 4,000 Jiangdong disciples to Yang Shilang and Wang Defa to replenish their troops.

"Will there be insufficient forces on the front?"

Yang Shilang was worried that after Xiang Yu divided his troops, the troops used for the breakthrough were insufficient.

"Keep the flanks so I can attack."

Xiang Yu was depressed for a while, he attacked twice in a row, all of which were resolved by Chu Tian in the form of a flank attack, and at this time he had to divide his troops and strengthen the flanks.

Tongque's Beifu Army and Sun Jian's Jiangdong Army do not need Xiang Yu to divide their troops, and the Beifu Army itself is already strong enough.

Xiang Yu saw that the physical strength of the army had decreased, so he said: "The whole army will rest and recuperate, and fight again tomorrow." ”

Tongque reminded Xiang Yu: "Among the Qin army, the real commander is Chu Zimou, if he can be killed among the ten thousand troops, then the Qin army will collapse without a fight." ”

The bronze finch thinks that Xiang Yu can be used.

With Xiang Yu's force, if Chu Tian's traces are found among the Qin army, there is a chance that Chu Tian can be killed.

"Chu Zimou?"

Xiang Yu heard Tongque say this, and thought that it was indeed time to sanction Chu Tian, who commanded the Iron Cavalry Army.

Fan Zeng's thinking is more long-term: "I have sent people to contact Zhao Jun, Yan Jun, and Qi Jun, and they are finally willing to send troops to help. ”

After Xiang Yu retreated, the Qin army camp was in a mess, and there were seven wooden arrow towers destroyed by Xiang Yu with his bare hands, and dozens of cowardly Xue soldiers were killed by Xiang Yu in the melee.

Xiang Yu's Qin army with his own blades ranged from one thousand to two thousand.

"Xiang Yu has killed thousands of people in every battle, if Xiang Yu's physical strength recovers and he comes to fight again, wouldn't it be ten thousand people in ten days and 100,000 in 100 days......"

Chu Tian couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the devastation.

Xiang Yu is equivalent to a humanoid giant beast, no one in the Great Wall Army can kill Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu is so violent that even the arrow tower can be easily demolished.

The Cowardly Xue Army deployed on the arrow tower, as a ninth-order army, could not escape the catastrophe.

The Great Wall Army's main general, Wang Li, sank like water, the Great Wall Army had 50,000 killed, only 150,000 remained, and hundreds of Qin army generals and captains were killed.

"With 50,000 casualties at one time, there has never been such a loss."

Wang Li patrolled among the wounded Qin army, and half of the hundred wooden arrow towers were destroyed by the Chu army, and the wooden fences and horses were also destroyed, and many antlers emitted black smoke.

"Tomorrow, the Chu army is expected to launch a decisive battle, so that Wei Qing and Zhang Han will lead their troops to converge in advance."

Chu Tian's cowardly Xue army lost about 700 people in the melee.

The cowardly Xue army was deployed on the arrow tower, and mixed in with the Great Wall army, and was killed by Xiang Yu and Jiangdong's disciples 700, while the cowardly Xue army released cold arrows, and Jiangdong's disciples suffered more casualties.

Sun Bin deduced: "The flank of the Chu army has been hit hard, and he thinks that the main force of the Qin army is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and Xiang Yu will most likely divide his troops to strengthen the flank, and we can concentrate the main force to the Chinese army and fight Xiang Yu head-on." This is a real plan. ”

"False and real, real and false, the art of war is really terrible."

According to Sun Bin's plan, Chu Tian concentrated the main force and prepared to shake Xiang Yu hard.

Of the five major princes, only Tongque and Sun Jian's forces were relatively intact, and the troops of the other three princes were severely damaged by Chutian, so they were basically not afraid.

Sun Bin said to the two generals of Shijian and Su Jiao: "Tomorrow's decisive battle requires two generals to swear to block the Chu army." ”

Shima and Su Jiao said sharply: "I am willing to fight to the death, fight to the last soldier, and never retreat!" ”

"Please trust the two generals, what they say should not be false."

"Hmm."

Chu Tian didn't have enough generals at this time, so he could only trust Shima and Su Jiao.

Shima and Su Jiao are Meng Tian's subordinates, probably because of Meng Tian's old department, they are influenced by Meng Tian and are upright.

In Zhang Han's camp, the main general Zhang Han was injured in the battle with Xiang Yu, and originally planned to rest for a while and then fight a decisive battle with Xiang Yu, however, Chu Tian sent Wei Qing to take over Zhang Han's cavalry.

"Two generals, the Chu army is attacking urgently, the Qin army in the north will be broken, we must not stop, go north to support, we must arrive tomorrow!"

"Wei Qing, I will hand over 20,000 cavalry to you and go north first."

"Yes."

Wei Qing led 20,000 cavalry and immediately went north.

According to the original plan, Wei Qing and Zhang Han went north three days later, but Xiang Yu destroyed 50,000 Qin troops in one battle, and the offensive was even more fierce than Chu Tian imagined.

Zhang Han watched Wei Qing take away 20,000 cavalry, rectify the remnants, and then go north: "This person's ability, above me, may be able to turn the tide." ”

Sima Xin and Dong Peng were surprised: "Even the generals said so, can they save our Great Qin?" ”

"We can only see if we can create a miracle by fighting the Chu army tomorrow."

Zhang Han threw the last of his troops into the big battle.

Zhang Han also had 100,000 Qin troops, Wei Qing took 20,000 cavalry, and Zhang Han commanded 80,000 foot soldiers, crossbowmen, and Lishan prisoners to go north.

To the north, Wang Li still has 150,000 Qin troops, and Chutian has about 70,000 soldiers and horses.

The Chu army had fewer troops, with only 150,000 left.

The Zhao army of Julu City was 50,000, and the princes in the north joined forces with 100,000.

Because Xiang Yu has won many battles, the alliance of the princes in the north and the Zhao army in Julu City are ready to move.

The next day, at the end of the night, Xia Liang opened his eyes and came out of the tent, and the 5,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion had been stationed in the second line of defense.

Xia Liang yawned, and the Qin army and the iron cavalry army in the first line of defense in front were stubbornly sharp, ready to fight to the death with the Chu army.

To the north, the coalition of 100,000 princes who watched from the wall finally began to move south, trying to flank the Qin army with Xiang Yu.

Zhang Er, the minister of Zhao in Julu City, stood on the city wall and said to Zhao Wang Xie: "Xiang Yu, the general of Chu State, beheaded Zhang Han 100,000 in the first battle, and 50,000 in the second battle, invincible. ”
