Xiang Yu beheaded Song Yi, whether it was impulsive or premeditated for a long time, it was already a done thing and a fait accompli. He sat on the throne of the commander of the first army. The commander-in-chief has great power and also bears great responsibility.

He will either lead this army to victory or lead it to destruction.

If you don't succeed, you become a ghost.

At this time, he was only twenty-six years old. At the age of twenty-six, he became the commander of the First Army, and faced the powerful Qin Dynasty.

Historically, age has never been the threshold for success.

Xiang Yu is nostalgic, not just because he only has courage.

At present, the army he led was only 50,000 people, while the Qin army entrenched in the area of Julu and Handan had nearly 500,000 (300,000 in Wang Li, 100,000 in one say, and 200,000 in Zhanghan). In other words, in order to relieve the siege of Julu, it is necessary to defeat Wang Li's 300,000 besieging troops, and at the same time clamp down on Zhang Han's 200,000 troops in Handan.

Is it possible?

It is entirely possible, let's first list some of the famous examples of the Qin and Han dynasties before winning more with less.

Battle of Baiju: 30,000 (Wu, commanded by Sun Wu and Wu Zixu) - 200,000 (Chu), the result was a thousand miles away.

Battle of Yique: 120,000 (Qin, commanded by Bai Qi) - 240,000 (Han Wei) total annihilation

You can see it, a small number of people does not necessarily lose, winning means going down in history, high risk means high reward, it depends on whether you have the guts. Leading troops to fight a war is not less than the number of people, but the quality of the army, and the quality of the army is first determined by the quality of the commander.

There is nothing to say about the military quality of Xiang Yu, the commander of the Chu army, and his tragedy lies not in military failure, but in political incompetence.

In December 207 BC, the weather was already quite cold, and the city of Julu had reached the point of exhaustion. Xiang Yu led his army to Zhangshui in the south of Julu County.

Before Xiang Yu rescued Zhao, he followed the advice of his staff and sent General Yingbu and Pu to lead 20,000 horses to cross the Zhangshui first.

At this moment, Xiang Yu was unusually calm, he did not go to battle immediately, but at Fan Zeng's suggestion, he sent people to urge the princes to send troops to test the reality of the Qin army. Zhang Ao, Tian Du, Zang Di, Han Cheng and others naturally did not dare to refuse Xiang Yu's request, and as a last resort, they fought a small battle with the Qin army, but they were all defeated, and the princes were even more afraid of the war.

The strength of the Qin army can be imagined.

Although Xiang Yu is young, he also knows that this battle is not trivial, he can't afford to lose, and the Chu State can't afford to lose, and now he can't count on attacking the Qin army with all the princes. The only one who can rely on himself is himself. Whether it is advancing or retreating, Xiang Yu is also struggling and hesitating in his heart.

The disparity in strength is too great, and in the face of a tenfold enemy, no one can be sure of victory! Do you want to retreat, can you let the Zhao State be broken by the Qin army, and the temporary retreat can protect the future of the Chu State?

But in my Xiang Yu's life dictionary, the only thing I don't have is retreat. But if you want to fight, how should you fight? I can't give the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Chu army in vain. Jiangdong's fathers and elders are still counting on our Xiang family to lead them to make meritorious contributions and leave their names in history. Uncle, what would you do if you were still alive?

The Chu camp was clearly divided into two factions at this moment, and Song Yi's consideration of "winning and taking advantage of its disadvantages" did not disappear with his death, and many people in the army suggested continuing to wait and see. At the critical moment, Fan Zeng gave a suggestion, war, and it must be a death war.

The young Xiang Yu looked at the old Fan Zeng, and his resolute eyes finally prompted Xiang Yu to make up his mind. So Chen Yu's envoy came to ask for help, and he just said, no matter what, I will definitely save Zhao Guo.

Xiang Yu gave the order for the whole army to rush across Zhangshui.

When the whole army crossed the Zhangshui, Xiang Yu gave an incredible order, "all ships are sunk, cauldron is broken, retorted, the house is burned, and the food is held for three days."

Everyone did it in confusion, what was the general going to do? Burn the boat that crosses the river, how can we retreat? Smash the pots and pans that cook rice, how do we eat? Burn the tents, how do we sleep?

Then don't retreat, don't eat, don't sleep. If you fight, you win, and if you don't, you die. Xiang Yu's answer was resolute. He wants to break the kettle and sink the ship, and the battle will be decided.

The 30,000 Chu army looked at their young commander, and was finally infected by his heroism.

Sonorous, everyone no longer hesitated, and smashed the kettle to pieces.

Victory, victory. There was an earth-shattering shout in the Chu army's camp.

The morale of the Chu army reached its highest point.

Xiang Yu led the army to quickly surround the Wang Li's troops gathered outside Julu City, and 30,000 people surrounded 300,000 people.

Militarily, encircling an enemy army several times larger than oneself is a great test of the commander's ability, and those who can pass this test must be famous generals through the ages.

Anyone with a little knowledge of war knows that when the number of troops is far less than that of the other side, no matter how you fight, it takes great courage to destroy and encircle the enemy one by one. In the battle of Baiju, Sun Wu Wu Zixu was able to win more with less, and the victory was to lure the enemy to fatigue the enemy and raid in a roundabout way. In the battle of Yique, Bai Qi was able to win more with less, and the victory was because the Han and Wei coalition forces restrained each other.

And what does the Chu army rely on to win this war?

Nothing else, only courage.

When the two armies meet, the brave wins.

This army became an army of 30,000 Xiang Yu after it was destroyed, and in the eyes of everyone, there was only one word, kill.

We can't estimate the potential of a person, but we always believe that a word can give people a fulcrum, and he can move the earth.

The contagious power of heroes is endless.

The Chu army looked at the black pressure of a large area of the Qin army not far away, and the flames burning in his chest quickly erupted, at this moment, just waiting for the general to give an order, they will descend like tigers, invincible in the world.

Heroic brothers of the Chu army, for the revitalization of Great Chu and the destruction of the tyrannical Qin, raise your sharp knives, pick up your spears, and sprint towards glory and dreams! Xiang Yu held the Yuwang lance and let out a deafening shout.

The soldiers of the Chu army suddenly rushed to the camp of the Qin army like wild beasts, and the Qin army looked at the Chu army rushing from all directions, and thought that the divine soldiers had descended from the sky, and they trembled involuntarily. Who are these people? It's just devils, you see, you see, their eyes radiate blood, and their faces have frightening fangs.

The Chu army is coming, the Chu army is coming! There was a sudden chaos in the Qin camp, but after all, he had experienced a hundred battles, and in a short period of panic, he quickly picked up his weapons and engaged the Chu army in a short battle.

The two armies of Qin and Chu began to become entangled into a mess, you have me, I have you.

The princes of all walks of life heard the earth-shattering shouts and killing, and they all climbed high and looked far away in the built barriers, seeing the bravery of the people of Chu, and the soldiers and civilians of Zhao who were on the verge of desperation in Julu City stood up with weak bodies, looking at the chaos in the Qin army camp, and once again ignited the hope of life.

Look! It's the Chu army, and the Chu army has come to save us. All the people were beaming with joy. Zhao Xie, who is known as a virtuous person, burst into tears when he saw this scene.

Thanks to Chu Guo and Xiang Yu.

In war, only those who are there can know its cruelty.

I am an ordinary Tongchu soldier, since I started with General Xiang, there have been major battles and small battles, but this time, I know that it is different from the past, this time it is the most powerful army in the Qin State, and I can only save my life by fighting for my life. The state of Qin is our uncommon enemy, it destroys my homeland, and kills my brothers and sisters.

If you don't take revenge, you won't be a man.

General Yu is a hero, I believe in him, I believe in him, I will definitely be able to defeat the tiger-wolf Qin State.

Kill, kill, I used to be afraid in my heart, but at this moment, I only know that the general is with us, and with him, I will not fear anyone. I will kill the enemy to make meritorious deeds, and I will kill the enemy to take revenge. Kill, kill. Be afraid, Qin people, tremble; Qin people, what's the use of begging for mercy, what's the use of fear, blood debts must be repaid with blood, at the beginning, when you wantonly burned and killed on the land of my Chu country, were you afraid? You have today by yourself, I don't care who is in your family, I don't care, it's not right for you to work hard for the tiger-wolf Qin State, it is the enemy of our Chu State, this is what you brought on yourself, little rabbit cub. Die, little bunny.

I'm an ordinary Qin soldier, why, why, you have devilish power? General Wang, General Wang, didn't you say that the six countries were all a rabble, didn't you say that you couldn't defeat them in three days? Why, why is it so easy for these people to kill our brothers in the Qin State? No, no, don't kill me, I didn't think about killing you, I never thought about it, working for the Qin State, I just wanted to have a stutter, really, just to have a stutter. Brother, brother, why are you so careless, you don't want to die, don't die. We don't fight with this group of devils, let's run, I'll take you to run, you have to hold on, hold on.

On the battlefield, there were dead bodies everywhere, broken arms, broken legs and broken flesh everywhere, Xiang Yu even slashed and killed hundreds of Qin troops by himself, all the soldiers of the Chu army, seeing that their commanders were so heroic, they were naturally not willing to lag behind, and they used all their strength, and their hands rose and fell, and the heads of the Qin army fell to the ground.

Everywhere ghosts cry wolf howl, everywhere crying dad and mother, killing, screaming, crying, knives, guns, flames stabbing and stabbing, war horses ticking and ticking, intertwined, the Qin army of 300,000 people, finally could not withstand the brave charge of the Chu army soldiers, began to retreat, began to scatter and flee.

Wang Li fought and retreated all the way in the process of evacuation, but the Chu army was too powerful, Wang Li could only urgently order the formation to shrink, and more than 100,000 troops huddled in a projectile land.

Wang Li was unwilling to lose, and quickly organized a counterattack after a slight withdrawal of troops, but the Chu army was too brave and lost all nine battles.

Wang Lijiu battled, the Chu army was all one as ten, and the Qin army was about to suffer a catastrophe.

Zhang Han saw that he was about to be defeated, and hurriedly led troops to save Wang Li, but it was still to no avail, the Chu army was like the soul of the god of war, killing the Buddha when he met the Buddha, and killing the god when he met the god. No one could have imagined that the Chu army, which was defeated a few months ago, would become so powerful in a short period of time, Zhang Han didn't expect it, he really didn't expect it, and at this time he knew that he had made an irreparable mistake.

He originally thought that Xiang Yu was just a brute bull, but he didn't expect Xiang Yu to have this kind of ability, and he could improve the combat effectiveness of the army to such a level in a short period of time.

At this time, the Qin army had been defeated, and those princes who were watching the battle remembered that they could go over to pick up the bargain, so they sent troops one after another to chase the Qin army's ass and beat it.

The siege of the giant deer was finally solved, and the soldiers and people of Zhao waited for the moment of miracle with their stubborn will.

In the battle of Julu, Wang Li was captured, the Qin general Su Jiao was killed, and he died in the ****, and the Qin army was elite, with heavy casualties.

Recalling that twenty years ago, the famous general Wang Jian defeated Xiang Yan, and twenty years later, the situation reversed, and Wang Qian's grandson was defeated by Xiang Yan's grandson, which no one could have imagined.

People looked up at the young general who was riding a war horse and holding a Yuwang lance, and their hearts were full of awe.

At this moment, he became a real king, and he could finally stand alone in the world and laugh at the princes.

He was twenty-six years old.

Think about it, at twenty-six, what am I doing? What are you doing?

The Battle of Julu is a rare battle in Chinese history in which less wins more, and the later Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi are three classic battles.

There is not much description of the battle of the giant deer, because there is almost no excessive tactics in this war, some are the earth-shattering shouts of killing, and the interweaving of blood and flesh. It is not a replicable paradigm, nor is it a triumph that can be explained by common sense.

Xiang Yu defeated 300,000 enemy troops with 30,000 troops, and won with bravery alone, which was unprecedented.

This battle allowed him to complete the transformation from an ordinary person to a hero, and he will go down in history in this battle.

Remembering Xiang Yu is not remembering his ending, but remembering his courage and ability.

The Qin general Wang Lijun was wiped out, and the Zhao State turned from danger to safety, and everyone began to look at Xiang Yu again, after this famous general, he became a famous general who was more famous than his ancestors, and he was the flower of famous generals.

Xiang Yu, you can't mess with it, and you can't afford to mess with it, so you have to serve it well.

Xiang Yu convened a meeting of the princes after the breaking of Qin, one for demonstration, but for reward and punishment. When all the princes met Xiang Yu, when they arrived at the gate of the ancient military camp, they all knelt and entered, which shows that Xiang Yu's fierceness makes people frightened.

At this moment, he has become the most terrifying person after Qin Shi Huang.

As a result, the princes all listened to Xiang Yu's dispatch consciously or unconsciously.

Zhang Han finally knew how powerful Xiang Yu was, and he couldn't beat him, although Wang Li's army was almost wiped out, and he still had 200,000 horses in his hands, but this fierce man of the Qin government was also shudder in the face of Xiang Yu.

He garrisoned Thorn Yuan (southwest of Julu, south of present-day Pingxiang), Xiang Yu was in Zhangnan (south of Zhangshui), and Xiang Yu entered the stage of stalemate, as long as Xiang Yu attacked, he would never fight. Xiang Yu was also exhausted and entered the stage of recuperation.

Qin Chu's elite fell into a temporary calm.
