"Behind the barrier, there is the camp of the Qin army, and the Qin army has already lined up the battle array?"

Xiang Qu's eyes flashed with a cold light.

As the commander-in-chief of the First Army, although he has a violent personality, he also has enough military literacy and knows the importance of investigating the enemy's situation.

When he sent people to attack the seventh barrier of the Qin army, he also asked people to build a tall building with wood in front of the barrier, and ordered people to climb up to look at the situation behind the barrier.

The last barrier of the Qin army was built at the end of this pass, and behind it was an open area, about two miles or so of which was a large Qin army camp.

According to the scout's observation, between the barracks and the barrier, the Qin army had already set up a battle formation, just waiting for the Chu army to break through the barrier and have a bloody battle.

Xiang Qu was both happy and worried.

Fortunately, Zhao Tuo did not run to Pengcheng, the Chu army chased for so long, and now it finally caught up with Zhao Tuo's main force of the Qin army here.

He finally caught Zhao Tuo, and the two could face each other here.

But more than joy, the greater worry is the worry.

The Qin army on the opposite side was full of energy and took advantage of the location.

On the other hand, the Chu army attacked the fortification here for several days in a row, and the dull troops were frustrated and their morale was exhausted, and the situation was very unfavorable to him.

"General, this is a trap. In the past few days, our army has broken through six barriers of the Qin army, and thousands of soldiers have been killed and wounded. If our army captures the barrier, I'm afraid it will be counterattacked by the Qin army!" Jing Tong opened his mouth to persuade.

This situation has been thoroughly clarified, the Qin army is to use seven consecutive barriers to exhaust the energy and morale of the Chu people, increase the casualties of the Chu army, and finally break through from the front with the elite soldiers who are waiting for work.

"Yes, General, that General Qin is too insidious, we can't go over."

Cai Wu also opened his mouth and shouted, when attacking the front barrier, five thousand people under his command were sent to attack a wall, and the casualties were not light, and now Cai Wu saw that the situation was not right, he didn't want to send all his troops here.

Xiang Qu's face tightened.

He whispered, "Then what do you think our army should do with it? Do you want to return the water?"

Jing Tong and Cai Wu were silent.

Just like the sentence that Xiang Qu asked Jing Tong before chasing the Qin army.

"Do we have a choice?"

There is no choice.

Even if you don't consider the fact that Xiang Yue's 5,000 people were annihilated by the Qin army.

It is only said that the current Chu State has reached the last moment, not to mention Xiang Yan's 400,000 army at Chen Ying's place, and even his 30,000 people have recently felt the shortage of food.

The food brought in from the rear is getting less and less day by day, and the food distributed to the non-commissioned officers in the barracks is also getting less and less day by day.

Now there is still the last grain and grass for the Chu soldiers to eat and fight to the death with the Qin people.

But what if you retreat?

I am afraid that when the Chu army retreats to the vicinity of Suishui, it will be told that there is a shortage of food, and then the Qin army will pursue, and how should the Chu army fight the enemy when it is short of food and food?

If you can't eat enough, how can the soldiers still have the energy and morale to fight, and the end of the Chu army will probably be even worse than now.

So the Chu army had no choice.

To retreat is to lose!

They can only gamble, to gamble on the possibility of breaking through the Qin army with one blow.

This is their last chance to fight to the death with the Qin army!

Even if the Qin army occupies a geographical advantage, at least they still have a chance to fight.

"Today, we will capture the barrier here, but we will not bulldoze the earthen wall, and our army will temporarily defend the Qin army with a barrier to prevent the Qin people from seizing it again. Let my sergeants go back to the camp to rest and recuperate, and after a full meal, then push the wall forward."

"At that time, our army will fight to the death with the Qin people!"

Xiang Qu ordered in a deep voice, his voice full of coldness.

Jing Tong and Cai Wu glanced at each other, knowing the mind of the main general, and without further ado, they both arched their hands and said, "Follow the general's order."

Xiang Qu reined in his horse and returned to the barracks.

Before leaving, he took a deep look at the barricade that was still in the middle of a battle between the two armies.

"Zhao Tuo, you are very good.

」

……

"The Chu army has captured the barrier, but it has not bulldozed the wall, but has sent people to defend the wall, and it seems that there is no intention of crossing the wall to set up a formation."

The herald reported the military situation in front to the chief general Zhao Tuo.

Standing on the high platform, looking at the Qin soldiers who retreated from the distant barrier, Zhao Tuo's face was pale.

On the contrary, Lu Xuan, who was on the side, couldn't hold his breath and asked, "General, the Chu army did not take advantage of the situation to push the wall to attack, but formed a defensive position, could it be that Xiang Qu was afraid after seeing through our army's plan and did not dare to attack?"

Zhao Tuo smiled but did not speak.

Zhong Liyi on the side understood, so he said: "No, the general will defend according to this, as long as Xiang Qu still has the heart to save the Chu State, he must come to attack, this is the general's Yang scheme." Therefore, the Chu army's move is probably to wait for the soldiers to rest and then engage our side in the best condition to gain a chance to win."

"I see, why don't our army take this opportunity to send people to retake this barrier, and fight with the Chu people to defend it, so as to consume its strength?" Lu Xuan's eyes rolled and he came up with a wonderful method.

Zhao Tuo laughed and said, "Ah Juan, your method is good, but it's not necessary. After so many days, our army's chances of victory are sufficient, not to mention that I already have a strategy to defeat the enemy."

"Do you remember the cattle I asked you to bring from nearby towns and Pengcheng?"

Lu Wan was stunned.

Cattle?

A few days ago, when General Zhao was building a camp here, he ordered him to collect nearly 100 strong cattle from nearby towns and Pengcheng. At that time, he thought that the general was going to use cattle to feast soldiers, but in the past few days, there has been no slaughter of cattle in the barracks, and he has almost forgotten about it.

Could it be that the general wants to break the enemy with cattle?

Just when Lu Wan was stunned, Zhong Liyi's eyes lit up.

He was born in Zhongli's clan, but he was much more knowledgeable than Lu Juan, a countryman, and Zhao Tuo's search for cattle made Zhong Liyi think of a person.

Could it be that the general wants to do what he does?

……

"Second and third sons, I won't wait for you today! Now that our army has reached the point of shortage of food, after this full meal, there is no food for you to feast on, and if you want to eat, there is only one way forward!"

[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]

。

Xiang Qu bowed his head and turned his gaze to the direction of the Qin army camp in the north.

"Zhao Tuo, I'm here."

……

This night was compared to the days of attacking and fighting. The two armies of Qin and Chu did not move, and they seemed very quiet.

Both sides are resting and waiting for the final battle to come.

In the early morning, the dew condensed into frost, and the earth was filled with a biting chill.

But on this battlefield, there is a fire-like blood stirring.

The red flag was fluttering, and the 20,000 Chu troops wearing red armor had already lined up in battle formations on this nearly ten-mile-wide pass, and everyone was red, holding the blades in their hands tightly.

"The Qin army lined up about six hundred paces behind the wall."

After receiving the information sent back, Xiang Qu bowed slightly.

The Qin army had already lined up behind the wall, and this was not to give him the opportunity for the Chu army to get out of the pass and line up in a wide area.

But it didn't matter, the Qin army didn't give the Chu army a chance to line up, so he rushed over with this long snake array nearly ten meters wide.

At the head of the snake, there are a thousand soldiers who dare to die in battle, which he carefully selected.

All of them are strong, have a high fighting spirit, have blood in their chests, and are willing to fight for the survival of the Chu State.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

Xiang Qu wanted to use this thousand dead soldiers to lead the formation, like a sharp knife inserted into the Qin army's array, breaking all the Qin people who stood in the way.

After the head of the snake, 20,000 soldiers formed a snake body and a snake tail, followed by those dead soldiers, and rushed straight to the battle formation of the Qin army, breaking the enemy in one fell swoop!

"Push through the barricades, and the dead will strike!"

Xiang Qu sat on his horse, behind a thousand dead soldiers and two thousand sharp soldiers.

Looking at the hundreds of meters ahead, the Chu army began to bulldoze the earthen ramparts and bulldoze the walls, revealing the vast battlefield behind this barrier, as well as the black pressure behind the barrier about 600 meters behind the Qin army.

The Qin army waited quietly and did not take this opportunity to raid.

Qin Chu's fate will be decided at this moment!

Xiang Qu wins, and the state of Chu still has a chance to survive.

Zhao Tuo wins, the death of the Chu State, there is no room for reversal.

"Attack!"

Xiang Qu raised his sword and shouted.

"Attack!"

All the Chu people roared in unison.

"Wu Gexi wearing rhino armor, and the car is wrong and short-handed."

"The sun is like a cloud, and the lost soldiers are competing for the first......

The loud Chu Song began to sing here, because of the narrow terrain, the Chu army could not open the way with a chariot, but their vanguard dead soldiers, with an indomitable spirit, charged forward, and the momentum was not inferior to the chariots that rushed into battle.

"The heavens are full of power and anger, and they are all killed and abandoned in the wilderness."

"You can't get in and out, and you can't go back, and the plains are far away."

Thousands of dead men began to run, and 20,000 soldiers trampled forward behind them.

Dust flies, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Murderous and indomitable.

It was a war destined to go down in history.

When the two armies meet, tens of thousands of people will fight, and they will surely be killed in the dark, and the gods will be furious.

But for the fate of the country, for the fate of relatives and friends, even if the soldiers of the Chu army sacrificed their lives in the vast wilderness, they will never regret it.

With such momentum, a thousand dead soldiers shouted, roared filial piety, and launched an attack on the Qin army in front!

……

Zhao Tuo stood on his commanding platform.

Looking at the Chu army in the distance, the earthen fortress had been bulldozed, revealing the red array of the Chu army behind it.

The red flag fluttered, and the red armor was like fire.

The passionate and high-pitched Chu song resounded in the field.

"What a group of Jing Chu people."

Zhao Tuo was infected by his war song, and couldn't help but praise it. But immediately afterward, he gave the order: "Ox!"

"Cow!"

With the order of the Qin army, in front of the battle array, the soldiers who were facing the Chu army immediately moved to both sides.

The soldiers in the rear drove dozens of strong cattle forward.

these

Oxen, majestic and mighty.

They had two sharp knives tied to their horns and a bundle of oil-soaked reeds tied to their tails.

"The heavens are full of power and anger, and they are all killed and abandoned in the wilderness."

When the loud battle song of the Chu army came, when the thousand dead soldiers rushed towards them with an indomitable momentum.

Qin general Zhao Tuo also waved his hand and ordered.

"Herding cattle!"

"Herding cattle!"

The Qin sergeant held a burning torch and pointed to the front row, the oxtail soaked in oil and water.

"You can't get in and out, and you can't go back, and the plains are far away."

In the passionate and tragic war song of the Chu people, the sound of an angry cow resounded.

"Moo......
