Chapter 29: The Destruction of the Cauldron (Part I)



From Anyang to the north, you need to go to Ye County, across the Zhanghe River and march to Julu, at this time, the Chu army of nearly 80,000 troops, mighty, marching north, along the way through the villages, are closed doors, to avoid the Chu army,

At the front of the team, Xiang Yu was wearing silver armor, majestic, and a halberd was in his hand, splashing with cold light.

Not far away, you can reach the Zhanghe River, cross the Zhanghe River, not far from Handan, as long as you cross Handan, Xiang Yu knows that the battle of Julu is coming, and the battle with Zhang Han is coming.

Thinking back to the first battle of Dingtao, if he was not greedy for merit and rushed forward, he could not attack Huang outside the siege for a long time, how could he have caused his uncle to defeat Dingtao, looking back, Xiang Yu was annoyed by what he had done, but Xiang Yu would not take any responsibility on himself, every time he thought of the battle of Dingtao, he would only hate Zhang Han more, he must capture Zhang Han alive, crush the bones and scatter ashes, in order to vent the hatred in his heart,

The team was still moving forward slowly, a group of cavalry galloped forward, Xiang Yu soon saw this team, he immediately raised his right hand, the team slowly stopped advancing, at this time, Long He wanted to ride the horse out, to find out which way the soldiers and horses were, but Xiang Yu had already seen the banner of Zhao Guo swaying in the wind, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "It seems that the Zhao army can't stand it,"

Soon, the team came to the front, the leader was the first person, wearing a white brocade robe and a sharp sword at the waist, he was Zhao Envoy Shenyang, at this time, he had come to the front of the Chu army, and shouted: "I have something important to do, I want to see General Xiang Yu,"

As soon as Shen Yang's words fell, Xiang Yu had already ridden out of the horse, came to the front of the formation, looked at Shen Yang, and couldn't help laughing: "Who are you, what is the important matter for me?"

"I was ordered by King Zhao to come to ask the general for help, the Qin army is very urgent to attack the giant deer, the giant deer is in danger, if the general does not send troops again, the giant deer will be lost," Shen Yang's voice just fell, more than ten Chu troops galloped out from a country road, headed by a chief, came to Xiang Yuma, and arched his hand: "General, General Pu and General Huang have controlled the situation on the other side, please ask the general to help,"

When Xiang Yu heard the report, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, give the order, the army is rushing forward and marching towards the Zhanghe River,"

Xiang Yu's order was conveyed one by one, and soon, the army slowly moved forward, at this time, Xiang Yu looked at Shen Yang and instructed: "You can go back quickly, inform Zhao Jun, don't fight with the Qin army, my army will arrive in Julu within five days, at that time, we can join forces to resist the Qin army,"

Xiang Yu's words were like a reassuring pill, which made Shen Yang's anxious heart let go a little, he looked at Xiang Yu with grateful eyes, and arched his hand: "Thank you, General, I will go back and inform King Zhao immediately,"

After speaking, Shen Yang arched his hand to Xiang Yu again, turned the horse's head, and left in a hurry, looking at Shen Yang's back, Xiang Yu couldn't help but sneer, just Zhao Guo, how weak he is, it seems that only he is Zhang Han's only opponent,

,,,,,,

The pace of the Qin army's siege finally slowed down, at this time, the vicinity of Julu was calm again, the Zhao army swept away the fatigue of the past, carried the corpses, and on the head of the city, the flag was replanted, and teams of soldiers patrolled back and forth,

In the camp of Chen Yu north of Julu, it was the same at this time, the Qin army stopped the progress of the siege, the soldiers of the Zhao army were relieved, and in the handsome account, the atmosphere was also eased a lot, Chen Yu stood in front of the map at this time, staring at the map with blazing eyes, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart,

Soon, a hurried soldier rushed into the big tent, came to Chen Yu's side, and said: "Report to the general, General Zhang Xiao and General Chen Ze have died on the battlefield,"

Hearing the report, Chen Yu couldn't help but sneer, "The guy who doesn't measure himself wastes my five thousand soldiers and horses in vain,"

"In addition, Lord Shen is already waiting outside the camp, dare to ask the general if he has asked him to enter the account," the hurried guard reported again, Chen Yu heard Shen Yang's name, his spirits were lifted, and he hurriedly said: "Let him come in,"

The hurried soldier sang a promise and retreated, and at this time, Jiang Ye, the deputy general on the side, arched his hand and said: "General, the Qin army suddenly stopped marching in the footsteps, there must be something strange in it, we must not be on guard,"

Chen Yu also wondered, only that night's battle, did the Qin army stop, was Chen Yu hesitating in his heart, thinking silently, there were hurried footsteps outside the tent, and soon, Shen Yang walked in quickly, and laughed loudly: "General Chen, we haven't seen each other for a long time,"

"Haha, Lord Shen, I miss you too," Chen Yu hurriedly greeted him, the two of them gave up their hands to each other, and then walked together to the soft seat not far away, and after walking a few steps, Shen Yang opened his mouth and smiled: "General Chen must be wondering, why did the Qin army suddenly stop attacking the city,"

"Yes, I'm really thinking about this," Chen Yu said with a smile.

Seeing that Chen Yu didn't know that the Chu army had gone north, Shen Yang's laughter was even more hearty, at this time he had sat on the soft seat, sitting opposite Chen Yu, and the rest of the generals retreated one after another, at this time, Shen Yang smiled and said: "I rushed to the Chu camp the day before yesterday, and I have met with Xiang Yu, the general of the Chu army, and he promised me that within five days, he will go to Julu, so I rushed back, hoping that General Chen Yu will not move the army in vain, and need to wait for the Chu army to go north, and I am making plans,"

Hearing that the Chu army was heading north, Chen Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his voice trembled: "Is the Chu army really going north?"

"It's true, the Chu army was originally in charge of Song Yi, but Song Yi commanded the army, stopped in Anyang, the supply of the Chu army was difficult, Song Yi didn't know the inspection, but drank and feasted day and night, annoyed Xiang Yu, seized his power and replaced it, at this time, the soldiers of the Chu army served Xiang Yu's life, and the three armies were excited, and they had already set off from the village,"

Hearing this, Chen Yu sneered: "It's just an excuse to seize power,"

But Xiang Yu's reputation, Chen Yu has already heard of it, in the first battle of Dong'e, Zhang Han was killed by Xiang Yu everywhere, presumably, this time Qin Chu encountered, Zhang Han will definitely have trouble sleeping, his old opponent is coming,

Thinking of this, Chen Yu laughed again,

,,,,,,

As soon as the day dawned, the rumbling drums reverberated in the sky above Julu City again, if a few days ago, the Chu army went north, which had deeply touched Zhang Han, then today, Zhang Han has already held the determination to become a benevolent if he is not successful, and launched an attack on Julu again.

Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to take the giant deer, defend the city to the death, and resist the Chu army, which is also a decision made by Zhang Han after thinking about it all night last night,

Zhang Han can't deny that he has a fear of Xiang Yu, and it is an indelible fear, but Zhang Han is not a person who will escape in the face of danger, since the big war is coming, he will inevitably have to fight with Xiang Yu, if he is cowardly and escapes, then, the Qin army of more than 300,000 will collapse in an instant like a levee,

Therefore, today, before dawn, Zhang Han once again issued an order to attack Julu, and Zhang Han invested nearly 200,000 Qin troops this time, and he wanted to strive to take Julu in the shortest possible time.

Determination determines victory or defeat, which is why Zhang Han is so determined to fight with Zhao Jun.

At this time, a group of Qin troops rushed towards the Julu City like a wave, and soon, a cloud ladder was set up on the city, and the Qin army began to pounce towards the city, and the war soon began.

Accompanied by the roaring drums, a cloud ladder set up the head of the city, the Qin army raised a shield in hand, and began to climb to the head of the city step by step, many Qin soldiers waved spears, when climbing, they saw the right time and stabbed towards the city, but after a spear pierced the air, the ladder of the Qin army was pushed away again, and with the ladder roaring away, the soldiers of the Qin army let out a scream,

Not far away, Zhang Han, who had always stopped at the sentry tower, saw the hardships of the Qin army's siege, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, looked into the distance, and just wanted to be angry, a scout rushed over, and arched his hand: "General, a military horse has been found in the south, with tens of thousands of people, heading towards the giant deer,"

As soon as the scout finished reporting, Zhang Han was completely furious, he turned to look at Shijian, and roared angrily: "Shijian, this matter is handed over to you, you go and settle the Chu army,"

Seeing that Zhang Han was furious, Shima didn't dare to disobey, so he had to arch his hand and say, "The last general will obey the order,"

,,,,,,

On the bank of the Zhanghe River, five thousand Qin troops were waiting for the battle, on the opposite side, the two thousand Chu troops were mighty, the cavalry was in front, the chariots were behind, the formation was deadlocked, the two armies were mighty, and soon, Pu Shan and Huang Bu rode their horses out, and the two of them stared into the distance in front of the formation, looking at the unruly expression of the Shijian, Pu Shan couldn't help but be furious, waved the halberd in his hand, and rushed towards the Shijian,

Shima also seemed to feel that Pu Shan was not good, he waved his weapon, to meet Pu Shan, the two weapons sparks splashed, after the huge impact of the horse, the two quickly separated, Shibu slowed down the hand holding the weapon, numb, Shima felt, Pu Shan is definitely not an easy opponent to deal with, he has reined in at this time, roared, and killed Pu Shan again,

Pu Shan at this time after running out of more than 100 steps, but also immediately turned the horse's head, he quietly stared at the galloping Shima, Pu Shan took off the bow from the back, twisted a feather arrow, pulled the bow like a full moon, eyes stared at Shima tightly, waiting for the best archery opportunity,

Shibu also felt that death was slowly approaching him at this time, he hurriedly reined in the horse, but a feather arrow had come very fast, Shibu instinctively waved the halberd, separated the galloping feather arrow, but soon, a spearhead has been pierced, Shima almost instinctively lay on the horse's back, dodged Pu Shan's fatal blow, at this time, Shibu no longer had the intention of fighting with Pu Shan, he turned the horse's head, hurriedly fled to the formation, opposite, Huang Bu saw that Shima fled in a hurry, Pu Shan won a big victory, but waved his weapon, waved forward, and shouted: "Sons, Rush over,"

The Chu army rushed to the Qin army like a sea of mountains, and the Qin army was already demoralized because of the defeat of the Shijian, at this time, 20,000 Chu troops swarmed to kill, the Qin army's final bottom line has collapsed, I don't know who fled first, one person led a hundred people, a hundred people led a thousand people, and in an instant, the Qin army collapsed in the direction of Julu,

Duo Bu and Pu Shan took the lead in charging, and the soldiers of the Chu army behind were excited, and the Qin army that was killed knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but there were still many Qin troops who escaped from the battlefield, they abandoned weapons, flags, weight, etc., and the burden was reduced, but they still could not race past the galloping war horses, the cavalry of the Chu army was closer and closer to the Qin army, and suddenly, the roaring drums sounded, and a Biao army horse galloped slowly, they gathered the Qin army and began to line up to meet the battle,
