Zhang Ao fled all the way to Dongyuan, because he was the son of the prime minister, and he was not afraid of being punished, so he went straight to see the general. When Chen Yu heard that Jingcheng Pass had been lost, he was terrified and hurriedly convened the generals to discuss. The deputy general Xia said: "Now that Wang Li has occupied Jingcheng Pass, he will come to attack Hengshan County tomorrow." Besides, he is the son of Wang Ben and the grandson of Wang Qian, he must know the way of using soldiers, and he must not underestimate the enemy! Zhang Ao was afraid that King Zhao would be guilty, so he vigorously asked the general to meet the enemy as soon as possible. Although Chen Yu had fought a few battles, he had never fought against the regular army of Qin, so he didn't know the depths, so he said to the generals: "Although Wang Li is a famous general of Qin, he has nothing to fear, if he can defeat him, he will be able to boost the morale of the world against Qin." I'll go out of the city tomorrow to set up a formation and see what Wang Li is capable of? "The staff on the left and right have never seen the world, and when they heard that their General Chen was going to set up a formation to break the enemy, they wanted to have a good look.

Early the next morning, when the rising sun shone all over Dongyuan Castle, the horn of the army assembled sounded on the watchtower. The Zhao army included the 40,000 defenders of the original Hengshan, a total of more than 90,000 people. Suddenly, a strong wind blew over Dongyuan, and after a while, the weather changed, and a cloud of war hung over Dongyuan. Chen Yu ordered Zhang Ao to lead 20,000 people to defend the city, and he led 70,000 Zhao troops out of the city to Dongyuan Han, which was about a few miles away, and set up a zigzag battle formation composed of three legions. Two legions were arranged directly in front and one in the back, each consisting of twenty thousand men. Adjutant General Xia Shuo led 10,000 mobile troops to rescue the various formations. Chen Yu, Hu Peng, Chu Father and other lieutenant generals commanded the whole army on a chariot in the center. Behind them was a chariot with a large golden drum on it, and a drummer with a large waist stood by to beat the drum. The ironclad guards all around were holding fierce military flags fluttering in the wind, and they looked like a huge lineup and a magnificent formation.

Chen Yu set up the formation, looked at the car, and in a short time, a thin black line appeared on the horizon in the southwest direction, and this thin line became thicker and thicker, and after a while, it became the black and oppressive Qin army, which was the main force of the Great Wall Army led by Wang Li. After a while, the whole plain was filled with men and horses, and it was really a sea of people. It turned out that the cavalry corps of the Qin State was at the head, followed by the infantry, surging like a tide. At this time, you can still hear all kinds of sounds coming from the opponent's military formation: the collision of spears and shields, the friction of cuirasses and armor, the tapping of men and horses, the snorting of war horses, the hunting sound of military flags, all kinds of sounds are mixed together, and the earth is groaning, and Mangyuan is trembling. When the Qin State unified the Six Kingdoms, many battles were fought by large armies, so the Qin army still retains the combat legacy of the Warring States Period, which looks very spectacular, and can even be said to be unprecedented in the regular army.

The Great Wall Army of Qin, under the leadership of the former general Meng Tian, once galloped across the vast Gobi Desert, they crossed countless peaks and mountains, and encountered the fearless Huns in the wind-swept Gobi Desert; squatted all night in the cold caves of the Great Wall; Survived in the wilderness where the grass is broken, the grass is untouched, and the wild beasts are infested; fought in the dark night; waited in the bleak winter morning and autumn twilight; Faced off against murderous enemies in the snow and ice; Having endured some unimaginable hardships, this army has long since been forged into an iron army. You see that each soldier is like a cheetah rushing on the grassland, and like a wild wolf walking under the night sky in the north, they are strong, high-spirited, and invincible. This army that has been refined over the years, coupled with strict military discipline, can be said to be invincible in the world. Their commander, Wang Li, was also walking in the middle of the team on a war horse at this time, surrounded by some fierce generals who could attack and were accustomed to fighting, all of them were tall and strong, and they stopped when they came to a place about a stone's throw away from the Zhao army.

The Zhao army had never seen such an army at all, but they had heard from their parents the fact that the Qin general Bai Qi brutally buried 400,000 Zhao troops alive in the Battle of Changping, so every Zhao person would be frightened, that is, a child would cry at night, and once he heard Bai Qi's name, he would be so frightened that he would stop crying. This fear has not been completely eliminated in the minds of the Zhao people until today, so people are accustomed to calling the Qin army "the army of tigers and wolves". Now that they have really seen Qin Jun, they are really a little timid. When Chen Yu sensed this, he immediately ordered all the soldiers to shout in unison: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! "This thunderous shouting can be emboldened and morale-boosting. Chen Yu saw that the Qin army was standing there and did not move, so he took the initiative to drive to the forward position and shouted loudly: "General Wang is the descendant of a famous general, and I, Chen Yujiu, look up to the great name?" Wang Li laughed and said, "Don't dare to be, the great First Emperor also rewarded your head, and the general is also a romantic figure." When I meet here today, I want to fulfill the last wish of the Emperor! Chen Yu asked what his last wish was. Wang Li said: "It's to catch you and receive a reward!" Hahaha! Chen Yu also laughed and said, "Then if the general has any means, he will use it as soon as possible, right?" Wang Li asked Chen Yu whether he was going to go alone or with the whole army. Chen Yu said loudly: "I have already set up a formation, please watch this formation first, I don't know if you know this formation?" ”

Wang Li laughed and said: "My ancestors have been generals for three generations, what kind of battle formation has not been seen, you dare to get an axe in this class?" Chen Yu asked, "What's the name of this array?" Wang Li said: "This formation is called the Three Armies Formation. When Chen Yu saw that Wang Li said the name of the formation, he waved the command flag, and suddenly turned the three legions into a large phalanx, with a neat appearance and a huge formation. Chen Yu asked again: "What is the name of this array?" Wang Li looked at it for a while and thought: Chen Yu is arrogant, just by setting up a formation to scare people, he is simply a nerd. It's better to talk nonsense first, make him proud, and then break him, so he said loudly: "This array is called the Eight Gate Array, and there are eight gates around the phalanx, which are Hugh, Sheng, Injury, Du, Jing, Death, Surprise, and Open, among which Injury, Du, Death, and Surprise are the fierce doors, and Hugh, Sheng, Jing, and Kai are Jimen, which are laid out according to the principle of King Wen's gossip." The formation is very good, but a general can't make a contribution just by setting up a formation, and besides, this simple formation you put is not commendable for the general. ”

When Chen Yu heard Wang Li say the name of the formation, he was very unconvinced, so he asked, "Although you can say the name of this formation, can you be clear about the details?" Wang Li said with a smile: "Haha, the formation is decided according to the terrain of the battlefield and the number of troops, if you want to arrange the formation in a spacious place, you can put it into a circle formation, a square formation, and in a narrow place, you must put it into a straight formation, a curved formation and a sharp formation." The difference is that although they are both square and circle, they are both determined by the number of troops. I don't think there is anything new about the formation you put up today, for example, the formation within the array, how many layers are overlapped, how many teams are used for each, and how many soldiers are arranged for each team, you are all arranged according to the old routine, and you do not have your own unique opinion, that is, you just moved the set in the book here, which is a taboo in the use of soldiers. For a knowledgeable and uninhibited general, if you want to win a battle on the battlefield, it is not enough to just set up a formation, the key is to adapt to the situation, as the so-called "there is no one in the chest, and there are thousands of formations." This is the way to go! After Wang Li finished speaking, he immediately burst out laughing arrogantly. Chen Yu listened to Wang Li's views on the formation, and was secretly surprised in his heart, so he had no choice but to say: "Since General Wang is so familiar with the formation, then please come and break the formation, right?" I'd like to see what kind of erudite and uninhibited you are! Wang Li laughed and said, "It's getting late today, I want to let the soldiers have a good rest, and tomorrow, how about we start a big battle here?" Chen Yu thought that Wang Li might be a little timid, so he agreed with a smile. So the two sides turned the military array into a military camp and camped on the spot to rest.

That night, Su Jiao and the second general of Shijian came to see Wang Lidao: "The general has led the troops for many years, what kind of battle has not been fought, but why is he so polite to the enemy today?" Do we think Chen Yu is a soldier blind, even if he can set up a formation, why not break him as soon as possible? Wang Li smiled and said, "Where am I polite?" I just want to annihilate the Zhao army! Su Jiao was surprised: "Could it be that the general has other plans?" Wang Li smiled strangely: "I calculated that Chen Yu will lose the battle, you guys are ready tonight, and you can ...... tomorrow" lowered his voice, arranged the two of them like this, and then said: "I want Chen Yu to see, I don't set up a formation, but I also want to beat him all over the ground to find teeth, hahaha!" Su Jiao and Shema listened to Wang Li's plan, said loudly, and said, "The two of us will go and prepare now!" Wang Li was overjoyed and said, "I know that you two will definitely come tonight, so I will give this head to the two of you." When they heard this, they were very happy and prepared to go.

At dawn the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the mournful sound of trumpets sounded in the barracks of both sides. Once the sergeants were assembled, they entered the battle mode. Wang Li deliberately ordered the sergeants to blow the marching horn three times, but each time it was blown, the Qin army did not attack. The Zhao army did not see the Qin army coming to break the formation, and after the three marching horns sounded, their morale was exhausted. Sergeant Zhao Guo exchanged heads and discussions. Chen Yu said to the lieutenants even more proudly: "Is Wang Qian's grandson just like this? It seems that he is still timid, hehe! As soon as the laughter fell, suddenly a person ran from the rear army Pegasus, it was a sergeant from Dongyuan, he came to Chen Yu's car and reported loudly: "General, there is a Qin army that is very powerful, their generals are Su Jiao and Shijian, they have launched an attack on Dongyuan City, the offensive is very fierce, General Zhang, please go to the rescue quickly!" Chen Yu was shocked when he heard this, so he shouted angrily: "It turns out that we are fighting here, but Wang Li secretly sent troops to seize the city, what a cunning man!" So he told everyone not to be nervous, and then gave an order to the herald: the rear army is the front army, and the front army is the rear army, and slowly retreat to the east wall.

Wang Li saw the dust rising from the rear of the Zhao army from a distance, and knew that the Zhao army was already retreating, which was a taboo in battle, so he decisively ordered 10,000 crossbow shooters to shoot arrows at the Zhao army's position, and the range of such arrows was even farther than that of the crossbowmen. Listening to the herald's order, in an instant, sharp arrows were overwhelmingly shot towards Zhao Jun. The Zhao army was retreating, and the sergeant hurriedly raised his shield to cover it. Wang Li seized this opportunity, galloped out of the position several zhang away, and then arrogantly turned his horse's head and ordered the Qin army: "Soldiers, the time has come to serve the country, and we must completely annihilate the enemy." Come on! Wang Li was like a raging fire, and after shouting, he turned around and attacked. When the Qin army saw that their commander was taking the lead, they let out a thunderous roar and also marched towards the battlefield, they seemed to be wrapped in the majestic domineering spirit of the first emperor when he unified the six countries ten years ago and the magnificent spirit of sweeping thousands of armies.

Chen Yu, who was retreating, found that the Qin army had suddenly launched an attack, so he hurriedly issued an order to the herald to stop retreating, let the sergeants in front use their shields to densely line up a walled battle array, and asked the soldiers to point their long and sharp weapons at the Qin army that was rushing forward. Chen Yu was surrounded by generals and commanded the battle, he saw that the Qin army was coming extremely fast, and saw that the Qin army's equipment was much better than that of the Zhao army, and there was a tendency to overwhelm the mountains and seas, and he was a little panicked. After the Qin army approaching the position of the Zhao army swept in like a powerful sea tide, the shield array of the Zhao army was on the ground, and the people turned on their horses. Some of the Qin army fell from their horses, and some were pierced by Zhao Jun's long weapons. Those huge and mighty warriors who did not fall from their horses, as soon as they jumped into the position of the Zhao army, they ruthlessly swung their butcher knives and chopped at the Zhao army like chopping melons and vegetables. In just a moment's time, Zhao Junjun's head flew wildly, and his flesh and blood flew sideways.

The two sides fought fiercely for half an hour, and the Zhao army, which had no combat experience, was gradually torn apart by the powerful offensive of the Qin army, and the army was in chaos. The Qin general Wang Li killed hundreds of people who intercepted him in a row, and finally went straight to the Chinese army of the Zhao army. Chen Yu saw Wang Li coming over on the high chariot, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to intercept him and continue to command the battle himself. The four generals who intercepted Wang Li were named Hu Yong, Yang Hua, Wang Zheng, and Wang Yan. Hu Yong is a big fat man, Yang Hua is a big thin man, Wang Zheng is a tall man, Wang Yan is a short man, although they are different in length, fat and thin, but they are all very brave, they entangled Wang Li to fight, but Wang Li was not timid, dozens of rounds later, Wang Li stabbed Yang Hua to death. When Hu Yong saw his comrade-in-arms fall off his horse, he hurriedly raised his spear and stabbed Wang Li in the back. Wang Li was already aware of it, so he fell forward, and swept Changge in his hand backwards, Hu Yong's weapon stabbed into the air, but Changge hooked his armor, tore off the horse and fell to the ground. Wang Zheng and Wang Yan raised their weapons at the same time and stabbed Wang Li in the back of the heart, Wang Li leaned over to the side to dodge by inertia, and their weapons swept past his head. Wang Li looked at the target again, and quickly struck Changge into the air, and the weapons of the two were discounted, and then he got up and swept the weapons hard, and the heads of the two were hit by Changge, and their brains suddenly burst out, and they died on the spot. Wang Li killed the three generals, and when he saw that Hu Yong who collapsed on the ground was still struggling, he turned around and used Ge to provoke Hu Yong, throwing him in the air, and when he fell, another Ge pierced his body, and Hu Yong was killed immediately.

Wang Li went crazy to kill, so he picked up his weapon and rushed straight to kill the people, and all the interceptors fell, as if they were in a no-man's land. As he charged, he shouted, "Soldiers! Take advantage of the victory to move forward and capture Chen Yu alive in one fell swoop! Seeing that the commander was so brave, the Qin army's morale increased greatly, and he took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing. Chen Yu saw that the four generals who intercepted Wang Li were all dead, so he personally stepped forward to fight. Wang Li and Chen Yu fought for more than 30 years, and Chen Yu was defeated and fled. Wang Li followed closely behind him. At this time, Hu Peng and Chu's father stepped forward to fight together, they stopped Wang Li, and Chen Yu fled from the battlefield. After Chen Yu luckily picked up a life, he ran for more than ten miles in one breath before stopping, and when he turned around and saw that the Qin army did not chase after him, he was ready to wait for Hu Peng and Chu's father to arrive. At this time, the sergeant from Dongyuan said: "The Qin army attacked the city with a stone cart, and the city was about to be breached, and General Zhang asked for reinforcements. Chen Yu wanted to save Dongyuan, but there were only dozens of sergeants around him, so he was really in a dilemma. Suddenly, a team of people chased after him from behind, and after a closer look, it turned out to be the deputy general Xia Shuo, followed by hundreds of people. Chen Yu asked about the situation of the two generals, Hu and Chu. Xia said that they were dead, and that Wang Li had seen it with his own eyes, and that he had worked hard to kill them. When Chen Yu heard this, he looked up to the sky with tears and sighed, and said: "In the battle of Dongyuan, there is not much left of my 90,000 Zhao army, what face do I have to go back to see the king and the prime minister!" He was afraid that Wang Li would come to chase him, so he ran to Taihang Mountain with Xia Shuo and others.

Zhang Ao guarded Dongyuan City, but he didn't expect Su Jiao and Shima to use a flying stone cart to launch stones into the city early in the morning, and the stones fell from the sky like a meteor shower, hitting Zhao Jun with nowhere to hide, and his brain burst out. After the Qin army finished firing the stones, Su Jiao and Shima took the lead and rushed to the city, so they ordered the soldiers to set up a ladder to climb the city, and they personally pushed the crash car to hit the city gate. The city was littered with a volley of arrows. The two of them risked their lives and attacked. An hour later he slammed open the gates of the city and rushed into the city. When Zhang Ao saw that the Qin army had entered the city, he fled from the north gate, and suddenly a sergeant came to report that General Chen had also been defeated by Wang Li, and he did not know where to go. Zhang Ao was shocked, and still fled for his life. Wang Li occupied Hengshan County.

When the news of Dongyuan's defeat reached Xindu, King Zhao and Zhang Er panicked, and Zhang Er hurriedly said: "The general is defeated by Wang Li, and the Qin army will go south, Xindu is just a small city, how can it hold on?" It's better to go to Julu, where it is the county capital, the city is high and the grain is abundant, enough to hold on for a long time, and then call Zhang Huang and Chen Ze back to defend. King Zhao ordered the sergeants to immediately recall the two generals, and then wrote a proclamation, calling on the soldiers and civilians to bring all their livestock and food with them and go to live in Julu. The people were afraid that the Qin army would kill them, and as soon as they responded together, they began to move in a big way. When the king of Zhao went out of the city, he rode in the king's chariot, and some of the ministers walked and some rode horses, and thousands of people followed the king's chariot together. The generals Sima Mao and Shen Yang protected the chariot and the people, and Zhao Jun also helped the people carry things. Along the way, everyone drove donkeys, led sheep and pigs, helped the old and the young, and marched towards the giant deer together. There are also people who have fled for their lives, in short, on the official road between Xindu and Julu, there are refugees in patches, and the cries are shaking the ground. When King Zhao came to Julu, he and his ministers entered the city, and the people then poured into the city like a swarm. Seeing that there were not many soldiers, Zhang Er immediately recruited militiamen, and tens of thousands of people responded, fearing that the Qin army would kill their families, so they enthusiastically took up arms and climbed to the top of the city to defend their homes and country. Zhang Er sent envoys to Yan, Qi, Chu and other countries for help.

After Wang Li occupied Hengshan, he heard that King Zhao and Zhang Er had already hid in Julu City, so they rushed towards Julu in a mighty manner. After Wang Li arrived, he ordered Wu Ming and Wang Su to be stationed in the south of the city, Wang Ang and Guo Cheng to be stationed in the east of the city, Meng Xiang and Cao Shu to be stationed in the north of the city, Maoqu and Hehuan to be stationed in the west of the city, and he and Su Jiao and Shejian led a mobile force to fight the rescue forces of other countries. In this way, 100,000 Qin troops surrounded Julu City, which is the famous 'Julu Crisis' incident in history.

At this time, Zhang Han, also because of the large-scale immigration, the military horses were very tired, at this time, seeing that the Great Wall Army had already left the customs, he did not dare to slack off, so he took the army to the Thorn Plains south of Julu City and stationed down, and they camped for dozens of miles. Because most of the stations are in the south of the Thorn Plain, later generations will call this place the Thorn Yang Village. This place is about seven or eight miles away from Julu City.
