After Wang Li finished burying Wang Jun, when he returned to the camp, he said to the generals: "Since I took charge of the Great Wall Army, I have fought in the desert and have not been defeated, but since I fought with the rebels in Shandong, I have suffered defeats in a row!" was defeated by Liu Bang before, and was defeated by Xiang Yu this time, this is really a humiliation of the reputation of the ancestors and a betrayal of the trust of the imperial court? Shima said: "I heard that after the Chu army crossed Zhangshui, they only brought three days of food, which shows that it means a quick battle." Tactically speaking, our army should hold the wall and clear the wilderness, and stick to it without fighting, so that within a few days, the Chu army will run out of food, and it will retreat without a fight. Wang Li also agreed: "The Chu army has no food, we have food, and holding on without fighting is indeed a good way to deal with the Chu army." Su Jiao said: "It's okay to hold on, or to start a war, but it is indeed difficult to defeat the Chu army with the strength of our side alone." Now that Zhang Han led an army of 200,000 troops stationed in Thorn Plain, why didn't he attack the Chu army? This sentence seemed to be broken in one sentence, and all the generals said indignantly: "Yes, yes, yes, why didn't he Zhang Han attack the Chu army?" The generals persuaded Wang Li to immediately urge Zhang Han to go to battle to alleviate Xiang Yu's offensive against Julu. Wang Li fell into a short period of contemplation.

Suddenly, Deng came back panting and reported the destruction of the road. Wang Li was shocked when he heard this: "The grain road is the foundation of our army, and now the grain road has been destroyed, and the soldiers can't eat, what can I do?" General Su Jiao got up and said: "General, I will kill and retreat the Chu soldiers, and then rush to repair the Yongdao to ensure that there is no shortage of military food!" Wang Li seemed to be full of gratitude, so he repeatedly told Su Jiao that he must build a grain road. Su Jiao agreed to take Wu Ming and Xu Cha, the two lieutenants, and set off immediately.

When Yingbu heard that Wang Li had sent the general Su Jiao to kill him, he consulted with General Pu and Han Xin. Han Xin said: "Su Jiao is the general of the Qin State, and his martial arts are not under Wang Li, when he comes, the two generals can take turns to fight, and when he shows his flaws, he will behead him unexpectedly." Yingbu asked General Pu to guard the camp and come out to meet the battle himself. There was not much time, and Su Jiao was killed. The two armies faced each other. Su Jiao was draped all over his body, holding a steel knife in his hand, and shouted proudly: "Thief with a black face, can you recognize my general Su Jiao?" Ying Bu said: "I used to raise troops from Xianyang, killing Wang Yun all the way, beheading Lao Kang, and defeating Yingkui, haven't I heard of you?" Su Jiao was furious and came to fight Yingbu with his weapons. The two of them killed more than 50 in front of the battle, regardless of victory or defeat. Seeing that he couldn't win, Yingbu shook his halberd and dragged the iron halberd back to the position.

When General Pu saw Yingbu coming back, he let him come forward to fight Su Jiao. Wu Ming, who was behind Su Jiao, saw it, so he waved his spear and stepped forward to block General Pu. The two fought for more than 20 rounds, and Wu Ming fled in defeat. Su Jiao came to fight again. The two fought for thirty rounds, and General Pu also rushed back to the position. Yingbu and Su Jiao had a second round of fighting, and the two sides fought for a while, and at this time, the soldiers on both sides were afraid that the main general would make a mistake, so they withdrew their troops at the same time.

Yingbu and Pu will return to the barracks and see that they cannot win. Han Xin said: "Su Jiao is strong in martial arts and brave and fierce, you can't fight with him, you can use a strategy." Yingbu asked what the trick was. Han Xin said confidently: "I have sent someone to find out that there is a place called Yan'er Bay in the southwest of Julu, where the surrounding area is high, the center is low, and there is a dense forest of withered vines inside, which can set up ambushes." I will first take 3,000 sergeants there to ambush, and the two of them can challenge again at dusk, as long as Su Jiao is lured into the valley of Yan'er Bay, I will definitely let him die without a place to be buried!" Ying and Pu were very happy, so they asked Han Xin to go to the ambush in advance.

Zhang Han was in the camp, and Song Wan also came to report in a hurry, saying that the Chu army had destroyed Yongdao, and he was also defeated by the Chu generals when he went to inspect. Zhang Han was shocked: "Yongdao is the guarantee of the Great Wall Army, if the food can't be delivered to the giant deer, the Great Wall Army will be finished!" "I'm going to send Zhang Ping to repair Yongdao again. Suddenly, Wang Li's messenger arrived, saying that he and Xiang Yu were facing each other, and that if he was asked to attack the Chu army now, the Chu army would be attacked on both sides. Zhang Han left 50,000 people to guard the camp and let the rest of the people participate in the battle, so he formed a huge combat corps, and then beat the war drums and killed the camp of the Chu army.

When Yafu heard the sound of drums, he boarded the car to watch, and saw the Qin army killing violently, so he said to the generals: "We have cut off the grain route of the Great Wall Army, how can Zhang Han and Wang Li stop?" Now that Zhang Han is attacking, we must resist Zhang Han and not let the general be distracted! Chen Ping asked, "What should I do?" Yafu said: "I want to use the formation to block Zhang Han." Chen Ping suggested: "The old general can also let the coalition forces fight together." Then the father sent the generals of the nations to inform them, and if the situation was urgent, he asked them to join them in the battle. Yafu then boarded the chariot and put a big drum on the chariot, so that Chen Ping held the flag, summoned Ping to beat the drum, and got ready.

At this time, Zhang Han's army had already driven over from far and near, and the lineup appeared very neat, and the Qin army stopped when it came to a place a hundred meters away from the battle formation of the Chu army. The two armies are far apart. Seeing that the Qin army was fully armed, Yafu sent his deputy general Xiao Gongjiao to drive to the front of the Qin army. When Xiao Gongjiao came to the front of the battle, he said to Zhang Han very politely: "General Zhang is a famous general of the Qin State, and he has admired his name for a long time!" When we meet here today, we must have a big fight and win or lose. Zhang Han asked, "How to fight?" Xiao Gongjiao said: "Our old general wants to fight with General Zhang, I don't know if General Zhang is proficient in formation?" When Zhang Han heard that Fan Zeng was going to fight with him in the formation, he smiled and said: "You Chu people live in the south, and you don't understand the royal Taoism, where do you know the formation?" Ha ha! Xiao Gongjiao said: "The general can't say that, Fan Li is from Yue, Sun Wu became famous in Wu State, and Wu Qi finally settled in Chu State, how can you despise the southerners?" Zhang Han didn't know how to answer, so he had to agree to the Chu army's formation, and he came to the forefront of the battle formation under the protection of the two generals.

Zhang Han immediately stood still, raised his eyes, and saw from a distance that the queue of Chu Ying was moving rapidly. After a while, all the camps changed, and it became a very spectacular formation. Xiao Gongjiao asked: "May I ask the general, what is the name of this formation?" Zhang Han said with a smile: "This kind of formation is known to the ordinary soldiers of the Qin State, and it is called the Three Armies Formation." When Xiao Gongjiao saw Zhang Han say the name of the formation, he waved the order flag. When the father saw this, he turned the three legions into six legions, and the three legions in front and the three legions in the back moved with the banner, and they also moved left and right, which was spectacular. Xiao Gongjiao saw that the formation was set, so he asked Zhang Han to know the formation. After reading it, Zhang Han said loudly: "Fan Zeng, how dare you set up the six army formations of the Son of Heaven?" Xiao Gongjiao waved the flag, and the Chu army formed a new formation. Zhang Han saw that this array was distinct, the golden drums were loud, and there was a murderous aura exuding from it, so he looked at it for a while, and said to the left and right in surprise: "This array is called the Eight Gate Array, and it is also called the Eight Gates and Nine Palaces Array." According to historical records: the ancient Lu Wang, Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Sima Sui Tho and others were proficient in this formation, and now Fan Zeng is also familiar with this method, this person is also a genius, there are such characters in the Chu army, and they can be regarded as meeting opponents! ”

After hearing this, Sima Xin and the others asked what to do. Zhang Han said: "It's okay. He said loudly to Xiao Gongjiao: "There are sixty-four armies in this array, and the army is in a formation. The two square formations in the middle are the Chinese army, the four sides are the dragon, the tiger, the bird, and the snake array, the four dimensions are the sky, the earth, the wind, and the cloud array, and the four sides plus the four dimensions are a total of eight arrays. I heard that the Yellow Emperor's Qi Array has nine formations, one for each of the eight directions, and each has a general in charge; The central one is counted as odd zero, and it is personally controlled by the great general, and the other eight are subject to it. The arrangement of the nine formations is staggered with each other, and they contain or mesh each other, so that the formations can accommodate the formations and the teams can accommodate the teams. The formation is symmetrical on all sides, the front can be the back, and the back is the front, and the soldiers restrain each other, and the advance and backward cannot be too fast or too slow. The array has four heads and eight tails, no matter which part the opponent attacks, which part can be used as the head of the formation, and the rest of the formation tails come together to save it; In the attack array, there are two ends to rescue, this is not the Eighth Army Formation, what is it? The four dimensions in the formation are on the table, which is the regular soldier; The Quartet is a surprise soldier in the middle. The names of the four-dimensional array are heaven, earth, wind, and clouds, and they are the result of comparing them with the eight trigrams according to their position. For example, if the sky is dry in the northwest, the array in this direction is called the heavenly array; Kun is Kun in the southwest direction, and the array in this direction is called the ground array. By analogy, Xun is the wind in the southeast; Gen is a mountain in the northeast, and the mountain is out of the clouds, and the names of the formations in the southeast and northeast are called wind arrays and cloud arrays. The name of the square array is named after the four elephants, the four elephants are: the southern Vermilion Bird, the northern Xuanwu, the eastern green dragon, the western white tiger, and the corresponding arrays of the four sides are birds, snakes, dragons, and tigers. The Chinese army is in the hands of the generals, and it is also a strange soldier, or a strange of the strange. The four positive and the four strange can be used interchangeably, the positive becomes strange, the strange becomes positive, the Chinese army is the main body, and it will not be easily used until the last resort. Therefore, from the overall point of view, the Chinese army is the head, the Quartet, the four-dimensional and eight-dimensional arrays are the tail, and from the perspective of the eight arrays alone, the four-dimensional array extends out of the array, which can be regarded as the head of the array; The quadrangle is hidden in the array, which is the end of the team. This array has four heads and eight tails, and the eight formations are intertwined with each other. If the Chinese army is divided into two layers, it can be called 'accommodating the formation between the formations, and accommodating the teams between the teams'. From ancient times to the present, military masters are proficient in this formation, which is the Eight Gate Formation. If a general is not familiar with this knowledge, how can he lead his troops to war? After Zhang Han finished speaking, he laughed. Chu General Xiao Gongjiao listened to it and said with admiration: "Since the general is so familiar with this formation, but I don't know if he can break the formation?" Zhang Han said: "What's so difficult about this? Then he beat the drums of war and prepared to break the formation. Xiao Gongjiao also returned to his own position.

Zhang Han said angrily to the left and right: "An old man who is useless has cut off our army's food route, and still wants to use the formation to win the battle, how can it be reasonable?" Now take advantage of Xiang Yu's absence, quickly disrupt their camp, and then kill the giant deer, and attack Xiang Yu with the Great Wall Army! The Qin army shouted: "Defeat Chu Kou and capture Xiang Yu alive!" Zhang Han commanded Sima Xin and Dong Fei and other generals to lead 150,000 soldiers and horses, divided into eight routes, and shouted and killed the Chu army's four-square array and four-dimensional array respectively, and he personally commanded a legion to suppress the formation. The momentum of the Qin army was like a river bursting its banks, surging forward. As soon as the two sides came into contact, a terrible sound was heard, including the clashing of shields, the chopping of weapons, and the wild shouts of the belligerents. Under the command of Yafu, the Chu army watched the banners of the Chinese army change queues, and fought an earth-shattering battle. The two sides fought for an hour, and when Yafu saw that the Qin army was numerous, he had no intention of retreating, so he sent sergeants to inform the coalition army and told them to attack the Qin army from the left and right flanks to reduce the burden on the Chu army.

However, after a while, the sergeant came running and said that the soldiers and horses of the coalition army did not dare to fight, and they just watched from a distance. The father continued to direct the battle, and suddenly an arrow hit Zhaoping, who was beating the drum, and Zhaoping fell down with a groan. Fan Zeng loudly ordered the soldiers to carry General Zhaoping down for treatment, and said to Chen Ping: "The drum is the heart of the army, stop beating the drum, and the morale will be over." I'll hold the flag, and you continue to beat the drums. Yafu took the military flag in his hand, and Chen Ping picked up the drumstick and beat the drum. Just as he was holding the flag, another arrow suddenly hit his left arm, and the arrow smashed straight into his skin, and the blood flowed profusely. Chen Ping said loudly: "The soldiers will protect General Fan together!" A group of armor soldiers hurriedly covered it with shields. The father gritted his teeth and held the flagpole still. Chen Ping wanted to replace him. Father said: "All the soldiers look at this banner and listen to the drums, if you stop beating the drums, the morale will be exhausted, and the morale will be in chaos, and you must keep beating the drums!" The father endured the pain and held the flag, and the beads of sweat on his forehead flowed downward. Chen Ping saw it in his eyes, the pain was in his heart, and the drumming became even more violent.

However, the Qin army still did not retreat, and Zhang Han personally launched an attack, and he led the Qin army to attack directly towards Fan Zeng's Chinese army. Fan Zeng saw that the Chu army could no longer hold on, and at this critical juncture, suddenly the northwest corner was dusty, and a cavalry was like a dragon going to sea, hula-la-la. It turned out that Xiang Yu heard that Zhang Han was coming to fight against Yafu, so he asked Zhong Liwu and others to guard the camp, and he led 3,000 cavalry to kill Julu directly. As soon as he entered the position, he stabbed when he saw someone, and picked a general when he met him, and he killed the Qin soldiers on their backs. The cavalry that followed him were like beasts of prey, each one could be ten and ten was hundred. Zhang Han wanted to take advantage of the situation to break the Chu army, but he didn't expect Xiang Yu to kill again, so he was so shocked that he hurriedly ordered the partial generals and tooth generals to come forward to encircle Xiang Yu together.

Xiang Yu saw that there were ge, spears, halberds, and halberds in front of him, so he used his long-handled moon swallowing halberd to open up the way forward. At this time, the arrows in the sky were like flying locusts, the swords and swords on the ground, and the soldiers on both sides were ruthlessly fighting each other to chop and chop, until the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, the ghosts and gods were also crying, and the heavens and the earth were trembling. Zhang Han saw that Xiang Yu was about to attack, so he hurriedly ordered the whole army to withdraw to the camp. After a while, the Qin army sounded the gong and closed the troops, and when the soldiers heard the order, they gathered around Zhang Han's chariot and galloped towards the camp in Thorn Plain. By the time Xiang Yu arrived, Zhang Han had already fled without a trace.
