"Controlling people without controlling people" has always been Xiang Yu's principle of not giving up the use of troops, and in order to gain the initiative in the decisive battle, he chose to go down.

"Under the wall, there is a lonely mountain in the middle, with sufficient water sources and plains on all sides, which is very conducive to the advantage of the Chu army in field battles. Xiang Yu also hoarded grain and grass here, waiting for the arrival of the princes' soldiers. ”

"Liu Bang has more than 200,000 troops, and Han Xin has brought 300,000 troops. Peng Yue led 100,000 troops. Yingbu, Liu Jia, and Zhou Yin led a total of more than 200,000 troops. As well as Zhao and Yan, they all sent troops to support. All of these forces add up to nearly a million people. ”

"It took Liu Bang a lot of effort to gather this million army, but he was also worried in the face of the unfavorable battlefield."

"When it comes to field warfare, the prestige of the Chu army does not need to be said. Back then, Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army 400,000 in the Battle of Julu with 50,000, and the Battle of Pengcheng with 30,000 to eliminate Liu Bang with 560,000, etc., no one in the world can compete with it, but now Xiang Yu still has 100,000 people, how to fight this decisive battle that determines life and death? ”

"At the critical juncture, all the strategists were helpless, but Han Xin took on the burden of planning for Liu Bang's layout, and an ambush from all sides began."

"Han Xin is the front army, 300,000 people are divided into three, Han Xin leads the Chinese army of 100,000 to the front,

General Kong 100,000 on the left, General Fei 100,000 on the right, the three armies are in a character array.

Liu Bang was behind more than 20 thousand, which was the rear barrier of Han Xin's army. The two armies joined forces in one place, concentrated their forces, and deployed themselves in front of the Chu army. ”

"Peng Yuejun, Yingbu Army, Liu Jiajun, and Zhou Yinjun are on the other three sides, encircling the Chu army."

This layout of "combining in divisions and sharing in divisions" has brought into full play the advantages of the large number of coalition troops. Among them, the four armies of Peng Yue, Yingbu, Liu Jia, and Zhou Yin played the role of containing the strength of the Chu army and cutting off the support of the Chu army. Han Xin and Liu Bang, the concentration of the two armies could avoid the tragedy of the Battle of Pengcheng being broken by the Chu army. ”

Xiang Yu was shocked by the layout in front of him, this inconspicuous halberd Lang was able to deploy such a battle formation back then! However, this did not scare Xiang Yu, but aroused his desire to break the formation. ”

"According to Xiang Yu's assumption, the Chu army's field combat ability is invincible in the world, enough to be ten with one, and it is easy to defeat Han Xin's Chinese army."

There is a good saying, "surprise and attack unprepared", it is obvious that Han Xin is very prepared, which reduces the probability of Xiang Yu's success to less than 50%. This is bound to be a war in which the outcome is unpredictable.

"Everything was ready, the Chu army launched a surprise attack, and Xiang Yu personally led the strongest soldiers directly into Han Xin's Chinese army, fighting with Han Xin's 20,000 warriors."

"Although the Chu army is beneficial to the field battle, but Han Xin on the other side uses a wheel battle, and the final result of this peak duel, both sides have losses, and there is a draw."

"With such a result, Liu Bang's side naturally cheered, this is a long-lost victory."

"For the Chu army, it is a frustration and low morale, in Xiang Yu's eyes, there is no draw at all, and failing to defeat the opponent means that he has failed."

"Xiang Yu did not give up because of this, he continued to study the situation, trying to turn defeat into victory, the current situation, Xiang Yu has no food and grass, no reinforcements outside, how to turn defeat into victory?"

"Fate is not on Xiang Yu's side, he has failed, but how can a generation of Western Chu overlords accept their own failures?"

"The war has never subsided, after Han Xin finished the war, he directly asked people to surround the nucleus, knowing that Xiang Yu was almost desperate at this time, in order to better win the war, at this time Han Xin resorted to another plan - embattled!"

"Han Xin won the first battle, but he was not in a hurry to attack, but led the army to surround the Chu army from all sides."

"The surviving Chu army, there are no reinforcements outside, no grain and grass inside, and in the harsh winter, the situation is very miserable.

Before the battle, the morale has been crushed, this is Han Xin's psychological tactics of "embattled". Xiang Yu knew that he could not defeat Han Xin, so he decided to lead more than 800 Jiangdong disciples to break through at night. ”

At dawn, the Han army found that Xiang Yu had fled, Guan Ying was ordered to lead 5,000 Han troops to pursue, along the way, Xiang Yu and the Han army fought fiercely, constantly losing troops and losing generals, to the Huai River only more than 100 people followed; When misled by the farmer into the swamp, he had only 28 knights with him. ”

Xiang Yu had a premonition that he would not be spared, so he no longer ran away, and said to the soldiers: "I have been in the army for eight years, and I have experienced more than 70 battles, and I am invincible and invincible, so I can dominate the world." I'm trapped here today because God is going to kill me, not because of the war. ”

He also said that if he was really destined to die today, he would also fight a decisive battle to the end, defeat the three armies of the Han army in a row, and help the soldiers break through. The Han army quickly caught up and surrounded it heavily, Xiang Yu was calm and composed, divided the soldiers into four teams, and prepared to attack in all directions. ”

Xiang Yu and the Chu army met at three places on the opposite hillside, and he shouted: "I will take down a Han general for you!"

He took the lead and rushed into the Han army's military formation, as if he was in a no-man's land, and quickly killed a Han general. He galloped in the army, killed dozens of Han soldiers, entered and exited three times, and rendezvoused with the Chu army in three places as agreed. , and the Chu army beside him only lost two people. These more than 20 people all admired Xiang Yu's bravery. ”

The Chu army fled all the way to the Wujiang River, the Wujiang Pavilion Chief had already waited by boat for a long time, he asked Xiang Yu to quickly cross the river to escape, return to his hometown, and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback, but Xiang Yu said: "God is going to kill me, what am I doing when I cross the river?" In the past, 8,000 Jiangdong children followed me to fight, but now none of them have returned, what kind of face do I have to face Jiangdong's fathers?"

He gave the pavilion chief the black horse that had protected him from birth to death for many years, and asked the soldiers to dismount and meet the chasing Han army.

In the scuffle, Xiang Yu met an old friend and said to him: "I heard that Liu Bang spent a lot of money to buy my head, why don't I give it to you as a favor!" After that, the overlord of Chu killed himself. ”

"After the Battle of Qixia, the troubled era of the princes competing for hegemony finally ended, and a new dynasty of Chinese unification followed. In this turbulent era, Han Xin's conquest of the world is indispensable, and Xiang Yu's pride in swallowing mountains and rivers will always be remembered by future generations. ”

Han Xin finally leveled the world for Liu Bang, and looking at the "Chu-Han dispute", Han Xin is the real decisive figure. ”

"Most of the victories won by the Han army were commanded by Han Xin, while Liu Bang led the army to be defeated repeatedly, and it was up to Han Xin to turn things around at critical moments."

"Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was deeply afraid of Han Xin's talent, and won over Han Xin many times with the treatment of a king. But Han Xin was grateful for Liu Bang's kindness, and he never obeyed. ”
