Chapter 170: Xiang Yu vs. Julu City
In the Chu army camp in Thorn Plain, Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng, Xiang Bo, and Chen Ping had been carefully formulating battle plans. When he arrived, Xiang Yu left 30,000 people to guard the camp, and 100,000 infantry to the north camp to line up the formation, and prepared 500 chariots for Huan Chu and Yu Ying to lead. After Xiang Yu finished the transfer of the army, it was almost the third watch, so he took over his two-hundred-pound Chisel Jin'an Bang Dingguo Megatron Swallowing Moon Halberd from the hands of the two sergeants, and then jumped on the black horse. There was not much time, and the military detective really flew to report that a Qin army had secretly left the camp gate and ran to the northwest. Xiang Yu smiled: "Sure enough, it was dispatched." "So he brought Yingbu and Pu to intercept Pegasus.
It turned out that Zhang Han sent two generals to Julu, one of his younger brother Zhang Ping, who opened the road in front, and the other was Sima Xin, who carried grain after the break, and the sergeants pushed the grain cart forward. After walking for a while, he suddenly killed a group of men and horses from the right side, led by a general, whose voice was like a huge thunder, and roared sharply: "The general of Chu is here, quickly leave the chariot to fight!" Zhang Ping was shocked: "How do you know that we are here?" "So he stepped forward to meet him. Yingbu and Pu will lead the sergeants to collect the food. Sima Xin heard that something was happening in front of him, and he also hurried to fight. Yingbu stepped forward to stop him, and the two sides fought fiercely. Xiang Yu and Zhang Ping fought, although Zhang Ping was strong in martial arts, but he was not Xiang Yu's opponent, he was defeated and fled after killing more than 20 he, and Xiang Yu chased closely from behind. At this time, Sima Xin was also defeated by Ying and Pu, and the Qin army threw away everything and fled for his life, and the grain carts, equipment, and military flags were all obtained by the Chu army. Xiang Yu chased after the two, caught up with Sima Xin after a while, and was about to step forward to kill him, Sima Xin panicked, so he shouted for help: "General Zhang!" Save me Sima Xin? As soon as Xiang Yu heard that it was Sima Xin, he suddenly remembered what Wu Xinjun had said before, so he didn't make a move, and then stopped the men and horses and ordered the troops to be withdrawn. Sima Xin and Zhang Ping fled back to the camp and told Xiang Yu about the interception and killing. When Zhang Han heard this, he was very surprised and said: "I agreed with Wang Li tonight to flank the Chu army, what can I do now?" He hurriedly sent someone to tell Wang Li, saying that Xiang Yu had intercepted the grain and that the military horses could not reach it.
Xiang Yu intercepted the grain cart and other equipment, so he secretly ambushed the next group of men and horses, telling them to capture them immediately if they found a messenger from the Qin army, and resolutely did not let Wang Li know about it. Then the baggage was transported back to the camp. When Xiang Yu saw Fan Zeng, he said, "Send troops now." "Let Yafu stick to the camp, and send someone to plant his handsome flag in front of the battle, so that Zhang Han can see that he is guarding the camp, and then come to the back camp, immediately change to the banner of the Qin army, and lead 10,000 cavalry to take the lead, the chariot is second, the infantry is behind, and Yingbu and others are rushing towards the giant deer.
Wang Li stood on the watchtower in front of the camp and looked southwest. Thorn Plains was only seven or eight miles away from the giant deer, and Xiang Yu arrived in a while, and they were all carrying torches. Wang Li suddenly saw the team and was very happy. At this time, the military detective also flew to report that Zhang Ping's soldiers and horses had arrived. Wang Li asked the military detective: "Do you see the flag?" The military detective replied: "It is the banner of General Zhang Ping." "When the king looked again, the torches were drawing nearer and nearer like a fiery dragon, and he immediately commanded Shiruma to go to the left flank of the camp; Then he walked down the tower and confidently led Meng Fang and other generals to the right flank to wait.
Ji Bu had already received the general's order, arranged everything in advance, and then asked Chen Yu and Zhang Ao to attack the right camp, he and Zhong Liwu came to Wang Li's left camp, and the four of them immediately stepped forward and got ready. The 20,000 soldiers brought by Xiang Yu when he fought Wang Li for the first time, as well as more than 40,000 people from the Zhao army, totaling more than 60,000 people. They lined up in a rectangular battle formation, directly in front of Wang Li's camp. Wang Li's battalion also had 60,000 men, because they had suffered heavy casualties in the previous night raids, and they were replenished with 10,000 mobile troops. To the north of Wang Li's camp was the besieging military camp of Wu Ming and Wang Su, and the four battalions in the east, west, south, and north each had 10,000 Qin troops. The Chu and Zhao camps were in the south of Wang Li's camp, and the two camps were far away from each other, lying across the open plain south of the city. Both sides lined up the cavalry in front and the infantry in the rear.
In a short time, the dragon-like army arrived, and as soon as it came to the camp, it immediately attacked. Wang Li was overjoyed, so he raised the golden pole handed down by his grandfather Wang Qian, and ordered in a loud voice: "Destroy Chu Kou tonight, soldiers, advance!" With that, he launched a charge towards the Chu Zhao camp.
At this end of the position, Ji Bu and Zhong Liwu saw that as soon as the general arrived, they took the lead from the more than ten meters wide road left in the middle, flew over the camp, and went straight to Wang Li's camp, and commanded the Chu army to also charge Wang Li's camp. I saw Xiang Yu, the general of the Chu State who was very vigorous, galloping at the forefront of his horse, his mighty and majestic body was driven by the light of the fire, like a golden armor god descending to earth, and the king of heaven was born; The soft and smooth helmet and feather ornaments also fluttered with the gallop of the war horse; The golden masking helmet just covered the handsome and resolute face; The unfathomable heavy pupils and black eyes shone brightly in the firelight. His chest rose and fell, and his tight breathing showed that he harbored infinite indignation in his heart, which was the hatred of the family and the country accumulated over the years, and he seemed to make a break at this moment. Xiang Yu held the big shield in his left hand and the incomparably huge iron halberd in his right hand, and his legs were clapping the black horse covered with battle armor and moving forward bravely. The black horse also seemed to be a black dragon hanging in the air, rushing forward with its hooves, flying across the field, the tight breath was also mixed with a snorting snort, and the big nostrils that opened and closed in the winter moon weather, spewed out two thick white mist, and at this time it seemed that all the Chu troops had become his foil.
The infantry of the Chu army also arrived, and Huan Chu and Yu Ying saw that their general had already rushed towards the enemy camp, and everyone ran towards the vast battlefield. More than 100,000 Chu troops are like the flood peak that bursts the embankment, the tiger that comes out of the mountain, and the cheetah rushing on the plain, all of them have a deep hatred for the Qin people, and there is a loud cry in their throats, they seem to be from the underworld, to avenge the revenge of thousands of catastrophes, in order to vent the grievances of the ages. After a while, the war horses and soldiers on both sides were like two torrents violently colliding together, only to hear the sword and sword, spear and shield, halberd and ge, cuirass and cuirass, shield and shield colliding with each other, making a deafening dull sound, like the collapse of a mountain, the angry sea waves, followed by the most tragic killing in heaven and earth.
After Xiang Yu's cavalry crossed the Chu Zhao camp, they went straight into the middle of Wang Li's camp. Because of the loud shouting at this time, the Qin army could not distinguish whether this group of men and horses was friend or foe, plus they had no defense, their camp had been divided into two parts, and at this time, the chariots of the Chu army had also rumbled into the Qin army's camp. Xiang Yu saw that the chariot soldiers were already in place, so he ordered to attack. He led the cavalry, and Yingbu and Pu immediately brandished their weapons and swept thousands of troops to cover the enemy camp. Xiang Yu held a fierce battle shield and looked for Wang Li's figure in the crowd, and more than a dozen generals and countless pawns of the Qin State had fallen in front of him. At this moment, if anyone touches him, it is equivalent to entering the ghost gate.
The battlefield was unpredictable, and when Chen Yu and Zhang Ao charged forward, they did not expect that the cavalry of the Qin State led by Shi Xian was much braver than them, because the cavalry of the Qin State had always galloped across the desert and were famous for their bravery in battle. At this time, the cavalry of Zhao State suffered great losses under the impact of the superior forces of Shixian. Huan and Yu received the report, and immediately rushed here to help in the war.
There was not much time, and Wang Li heard someone shouting: "General Wang, there is chaos in our military camp, for some reason?" When Wang Li heard this report, he thought to himself, could it be infighting? Or did Zhao Jun kill it? was about to kill back to the camp to see what was going on, but suddenly Ji Bu and Zhong Liwu killed. Wang Li stepped forward to meet him. The two sides then launched a big fight, and the killing was inseparable. In order to distinguish the Chu army from the Qin army, when they were fighting, they let out an earth-shattering cry in their throats, and shouted in Chu language: "Kill all the Qin people!" Settle an old score! "Because they are fearless, they can show a hundred times the courage to fight a battle with one as ten, and ten as a hundred. It was also because of the anger of the Chu people that they vigorously brandished their extremely sharp weapons, stabbing them, stabbing them, slashing them, slashing them, and sweeping them fiercely at the Qin army. At this time, the entire battlefield was filled with the sound of killing, and all kinds of sounds were deafening. The shouts of killing also reached the coalition camp in the northeast, frightening the coalition soldiers who were watching from the wall and did not dare to move. They couldn't imagine how the Chu army in the fierce battle fought with the Qin army? I can't even imagine who will win and who will lose this battle tonight? But based on past experience, they had already guessed the result, that is, the Chu army would definitely be defeated. Because although Xiang Yu is very powerful, he is a person, and it is impossible for the soldiers to be as powerful as him. This is a decisive battle between the two sides, not a heads-up for him alone. In this way, many of them were ready to slip away, because if they ran too late, they would be caught up by the Qin army, which had defeated the Chu army. Rather than moving your head, it's better to slip away. And those high-ranking generals who watched the battle were so nervous that they even forgot about patrolling deserters.
The battle lasted for a long time, and the Qin army slowly understood that it was not the Qin army that reinforced them, but the Chu army, so they rushed to report to the commander-in-chief. And when Wang Li, who was in the battle, heard that Zhang Ping's army was originally the Chu army, he was shocked that the six gods were ownerless, he stabbed falsely, retreated, and then stabilized his mind. At this time, the Chu generals came up again, and they shouted together: "Wang Lipifu, listen, the Qin army sent by Zhang Han has been defeated by our general, and your camp has also been kicked flat by our general." Ha ha! Hurry up and get off your horse and surrender, right? When Wang Li heard that his military camp had been kicked flat by Xiang Yu, there was a 'buzz' in his head, so he shook off the two and retreated. Ji and Zhong Er chased after them closely, and suddenly two generals flashed behind Wang Li, they were Meng Fang and Li Yu, and immediately entangled the two. When Ji Bu saw that Wang Li had run away, he abandoned the Qin generals and went after Wang Li. Meng Fang and Li Yu fought against Zhong Liwu, and when the battle was not long, Zhong Liwu hated to stab Meng Fang with a spear, Meng Fang couldn't dodge, hit the throat, turned over and fell off the horse. Li Yu opened his eyes wide to avenge his comrades-in-arms, and threw the halberd in his hand hatefully, Zhong Li's eyes were quick, and he turned his head away, the halberd was not biased or oblique, and he was stabbing at another deputy general behind him, the tip of the halberd smashed into the chest, penetrated through the back, and died on the spot.
It turned out that the person who was stabbed Chu would be Zhong Liwu's good friend, and the relationship between the two was extremely close. When Zhong Liwu saw that his friend had died, he was extremely sad, so he dismounted and prepared to take away his friend's body, but Li Yu struggled to kill Zhong Liwu at this time. At this moment, two more Chu generals came, they were Ji Bu's younger brother Ji Xin and cousin Ding Gong. The two teamed up to stop Li Yu from fighting, and beheaded Li Yu under the horse in a while. Ji Xin jumped off his horse and snatched his friend's body from Zhong Li's arms, put it on his horse, and left the chaotic battlefield. He came to a quieter place, laid down his body, and returned to the battlefield to continue the fight. Ding Gong followed behind Zhong Liwu and fought together.
The scuffle continued, and Wang Li came to his military camp. Ji Bu rushed up and shouted, "Wang Li, do you dare to fight me?" "Wang Li fought with Ji Bu. The two killed dozens of rounds, and Wang Li fled again. Ji Bu chased closely, and suddenly another general came out in front of him, shouting: "Don't hurt my general!" "It turned out that Qin rushed Han Zhang to help in the war. Han Zhang picked up the big axle and slashed at Ji Bu with his head and face. Ji Bu hurriedly dodged, and Han Zhang happened to be close to him. Ji Bu pulled out a short sword from his waist and slashed at Han Zhang, who hung up his color, screamed, and stepped back. When Ji Bu looked at it, Wang Li was gone.
At this time, Wang Li wanted to go back to the camp to see what was going on, but all the way to the defeated Qin army outside the camp, someone suddenly shouted: "Xiang Yu is here!" Xiang Yu is here! Run! Wang Li saw from a distance that there was a big banner of the Qin army in the firelight, so he slapped his horse forward, and suddenly a god came out of the gate to kill Pegasus, and said: "Wang Li, do you know who I am?" When Wang Li saw that it was Xiang Yu, he was so shocked that he almost fell off the horse, so he had to greet him. The two of them killed forty or fifty times in a row. There were already two members of Qin who came to save Wang Li, they were Zhou Xiong, the general of Guanzhong, and Wang Guan. Xiang Yu was bent on capturing Wang Li alive, and shouted: "Where are Yingbu and Pu Jiang?" When the two generals heard the call, they hurried over, and one by one stopped the fight, and the six generals fought desperately. Xiang Yu was bent on defeating Wang Li, so he wielded the halberd like lightning, once again showing his superhuman peerless martial arts. At the same time, the scene of the Qin army's large-scale attack on Chu more than ten years ago also appeared in front of his eyes again: he imagined how his grandfather was defeated by Wang Qian? And how did the Qin army massacre the Chu army on a large scale? What made him even more difficult to accept was the scene of his grandfather committing suicide after the defeat. These unforgettable painful memories forced him to use a halberd of hatred against Wang Li in front of him, and with a dozen or so ruthless moves, Wang Li was out of breath and unable to resist. At this time, Wang Li already knew that he had been deceived by Xiang Yu, and he was also very angry why the Qin army sent by Zhang Han would become an enemy army. When he thought of this, the anger in his heart continued to manifest itself on his arrogant face, his muscles twitched constantly, and his face turned white and red at one time. He resented Xiang Yu, but at the same time admired this unfathomable commander, he was the bravest fighter he had ever seen on the battlefield in his life. He heard that Xiang Yu had learned the skills of ten thousand people, and now it seems that he really deserves his reputation. He is not as vulnerable as he imagined, he is very different from the generals of other countries, and he is completely different from the Huns who have fought in the north for more than ten years. The Huns are simple-minded, can only use brute force, and will not cheat, but this Xiang Yu is different. How did he know that Zhang Ping was coming? How did he get into this loophole? But when Zhang Han wanted to cooperate with me to attack them, he arrived in time! I've never lost on the battlefield, and I met him tonight, what's wrong? How did my legs start to get a little weak?
These two warriors on the battlefield, the supreme military commanders of the armies of both sides, tonight showed a rare Armageddon in the world, and it was also the most thrilling and unparalleled Armageddon. Xiang Yu suddenly saw an opportunity, and he stabbed Wang Li under the armpit with a halberd. Wang Li hurriedly stopped the weapon, and his left hand loosened, and the long Jin Ge was knocked to the ground by Xiang Yu's iron halberd. When Wang Li saw this, he was terrified, and hurriedly drew his sword to protect himself. But before the sword was unsheathed, Xiang Yu's iron halberd was delivered again, and Wang Li was caught off guard, so he was picked off the horse by Xiang Yu. Although Wang Li rolled to the ground, he was not injured, so he quickly turned over and prepared to escape. But Xiang Yu's iron halberd once again "Huh! The earth was in front of his eyes. Wang Li seemed to be frozen, motionless. Xiang Yu yelled: "Tie up!" When the Chu army saw that Wang Li was stopped by the general, he was so happy that he danced with his hands, rushed forward, and tied up the flowers.
When Qin Jun saw that the boss was arrested, they all hurried to the rescue. Xiang Yu roared, and the wind and clouds seemed to change color. The Qin army retreated again and again. The Chu army shouted in unison: "Wang Li was captured alive by the general!" ...... "The Qin army was originally fighting hungry, but now when they hear that the commander has been arrested, it is like 'pig's urine bubbles on the knife, and all of a sudden it is out of gas', so there is an unprecedented rout. At this time, the Chu army was more energetic, and the shouts of killing were more violent. Ying Bu and Pu Jiang cut off the heads of Zhou Xiong and Wang Guan in the chaos and fear, and then rushed to Xiang Yu and shouted: "General, General Qin's head is here!" Xiang Yu saw the two heads and shouted: "Wang Li has been captured, tie him to the car, and kill him to the camp in the south of the city!" At this time, Ji Bu and Zhongli also arrived together, and everyone was very happy to see that the general had captured Wang Li, so they tied Wang Li to a chariot together, and then drove to the camp south of the city to kill.
At this time, the east side of the battlefield was just the opposite, and the Chu army was a little overwhelmed by the superior cavalry in the middle of the war, but Huan Chu and Yu Ying did not show weakness and were still fighting. At this moment, the Qin army in the west all retreated here, and someone shouted: "General She, our commander has been caught by Xiang Yu!" When Shiruma heard this, he was shocked and wanted to go over and see what was going on. But as soon as he arrived in front of the camp, he saw the Chu army pushing a cart with a person tied to it, he was none other than Wang Li, the commander of the Great Wall Army, and the Chu army was still massacring the Qin army behind. Shima was so frightened that he didn't dare to move forward, so he ran to Wang Ang and Guo Cheng's Dongda camp. Huan Chu and Yu Ying saw that they had retreated, so they killed Xiangnanying and joined the general.
At this time, Xiang Yu had already escorted Wang Li's car and scattered the camp in the south of the city, and Wu Ming and Wang Su had disappeared. They divided their troops into two routes, Ji Bu, Zhong Liwu, Chen Yu, Zhang Ao, Huan Chu, Yu Ying and others went east to attack the Qin army's camp in the east of the city; Xiang Yu, Yingbu and Pu will go west to attack the Qin army's camp in the west of the city, and then go to the northern camp to join the division.
Zhang Er and Zhao Xie watched the battle at the head of the city, and saw the crowd of people under the city, the sound of chopping weapons, the neighing of horses, the rolling of wheels, and the shouts of people, one after another, like a tsunami. They also saw that the Chu army was desperate to fight, and saw that Xiang Yu had broken through the two large camps of the Qin army, and they were very encouraged, so they gathered all the Zhao army, killed them from the west gate, and attacked the camps of Maoqu and Hehuan. The two Qin generals did not expect that the Zhao army would break through and hurriedly surrounded it. There was not much time, and the Qin army ran to report in a panic: "The two generals are not good, our commander was caught by Xiang Yu, and they also tied General Wang to the car and paraded!" When Mao Qu heard the report, he was shocked and said: "The eldest husband should die on the battlefield, and he will be loyal to the country tonight, what is the regret of dying?" Let He Huan immediately go to Zhang Han for help, and lead the army to meet him. When he came to Nanying, he saw that the Qin army was retreating to this side, so he hurriedly stopped it, but there was nothing he could do. Suddenly, a horse was killed, and the horse was tall, and Chu Jiang was even more extraordinary. Take a closer look, it was Xiang Yu, the general of the Chu State, who greeted him. Before the two of them had fought a few rounds, they were stabbed to death by Xiang Yu under the horse. The military chariot behind him galloped forward, and Qin Jun saw that it was General Wang tied to the car, so they scattered and fled for their lives. The Chu army took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and the corpses of the Qin army were so piled up that even the cars could not pass. At this time, the Zhao army led by Zhang Er came to Xiang Yu together and cried to the ground. When Xiang Yu saw the scrawny Zhao people, he encouraged them to continue fighting. The Zhao army converged in the Chu army, they had grievances to revenge, and they had revenge to seek revenge, and their morale increased sharply, and they all shouted to the north camp to kill.
Besides, after Ji Bu and others killed the camp in the east of the city, Shima led Wang Ang and Guo Cheng to resist stubbornly, but the Qin army still couldn't resist the attack of the Chu army after all, and finally Guo Cheng died in battle, and Shima led Wang Ang to flee to the northeast, followed by hundreds of people. They ran to the front of the coalition camp, but found a strange phenomenon: that is, the camp of the coalition army was built high, and people peeked forward from the crack in the wall of the camp, and they saw the Qin army covered in blood and with their hair scattered, as if they had seen a ghost, and they were terrified. Some frightened people pee on their crotch, and they pee on their crotch, and they don't fit in their fart, which is purely unorthodox.
The camp north of the city was blocked by Meng Xiang and Cao Shu, and the fierce battle lasted for half an hour, and the Qin army heard that the commander had been captured by the Chu army at this time, and the hungry had no strength, the camp was quickly breached, and the two fled to Jingcheng Pass. By this time it was dawn.
Around Julu City, there were corpses lying all over the place, the smoke and dust were still rolling, and the trenches were already filled with the blood of the Qin army. In this battle, the Chu army sacrificed more than 10,000 people, and they defeated the main force of the Great Wall Army of Qin in one fell swoop, and captured the commander Wang Li alive. The two Chu armies and Zhao armies met at the north gate, and cheers came and went. At this time, King Zhao also led hundreds of civil and military officials to open the north gate and come together to see Xiang Yu, everyone knelt on the ground and wept silently, and the people also came out to kneel to welcome the Chu army, and the cry shook the ground. From the siege of the giant deer to the lifting of the siege today, it is exactly a hundred days.
Xiang Yu comforted everyone, and then led King Zhao into the city. When everyone came to the city, they saw that the ground was full of messes, corpses and bones were crammed into the streets and alleys, and instruments were still piled up in every corner. Coming to the city again, it was even more miserable, everyone detoured to the east gate to the south gate, and saw the scarred battlefield, they expressed their heartfelt admiration for the soldiers and people of Zhao from the heart, and had to admire how they held on for so long, and finally saved a country, and saved the lives and dignity of everyone in the city. Xiang Yu then ordered all the Chu troops to go out of the city and camp in the south of the city, form a camp with chariots, and also help the Zhao army clear the streets and pacify the people, and then sent Ji Bu and Zhong Liwu to rush to the Thorn Plains to meet Yafu. There is a poem praising Xiang Yu Dao:
Hebei gathers heroes, and peeps do not see the light.
The fierce man was struck, and Qin Shi was half killed or wounded.
Murderous and bloodstained on the battlefield.
Tens of thousands of dry bones accumulate, and one will be famous.
