Chapter 29 Breaking the boat (Part 1)
Traveling north from Anyang, you need to go through Ye County, cross the Zhang River and march towards Julu. At this time, the Chu army, nearly 80,000 strong, is marching north. The villages they pass along the way are all closed to avoid the Chu army. ,
At the front of the team, Xiang Yu was wearing silver armor and looked majestic. He held a halberd in his hand, and cold light splashed everywhere.
Not far away, you can reach the Zhang River. After crossing the Zhang River, you are 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 battle at Dingtao, if I hadn't been greedy for success and was unable to attack Huang Er for a long time, how could I have caused my uncle to defeat Dingtao? Looking back, Xiang Yu was very upset about what he had done, but Xiang Yu would not Attributing any responsibility to himself, every time he thinks of the Battle of Dingtao, he will only hate Zhang Han even more. He must capture Zhang Han alive, crush his bones and spread his ashes to vent his hatred.
The team was still moving forward slowly, and a team of cavalry came at a gallop. Xiang Yu soon saw the team. He immediately raised his right hand, and the team slowly stopped advancing. At this time, Long Qie wanted to ride the horse out, When Xiang Yu went to find out which troops were coming from, he saw the flag of Zhao State swaying in the wind. He couldn't help but laughed and said, "It seems that the Zhao army will not be able to stand it any longer."
Soon, the team came closer. The leader was wearing a white brocade robe and a sharp sword at his waist. He was Shen Yang, the envoy of Zhao. At this time, he had arrived in front of the Chu army's formation and shouted: "I have It’s important, I want to see General Xiang Yu,”
As soon as Shen Yang finished speaking, Xiang Yu had already ridden his horse and came to the front of the battle. He looked at Shen Yang and couldn't help but smile: "Who are you? What do you need from me?"
"I have been ordered by King Zhao to come to ask for help from the general. The Qin army is in a hurry to attack Julu. Julu is in danger. If the general does not send troops, Julu will be lost." Shen Yang just finished his words and drove from a country road. More than a dozen Chu troops, led by a commander, came to Xiang Yu's horse, cupped their hands and said: "General, General Pu and General Ting have controlled the situation on the other side, please help the general."
When Xiang Yu heard the report, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, send the order, the army will advance rapidly towards the Zhanghe River."
Xiang Yu's orders were conveyed one after another, and soon, the army moved forward slowly. At this time, Xiang Yu looked at Shen Yang and told him: "You can go back quickly and inform Zhao Jun not to confront the Qin army head-on. Our army will be ready within five days." When we reach Julu, we can join forces to resist the Qin army."
Xiang Yu's words were like a reassurance, which made Shen Yang feel relieved a little. He looked at Xiang Yu with grateful eyes, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General. I will go back and inform King Zhao immediately."
After saying that, Shen Yang offered his hand to Xiang Yu again, turned his horse's head, and left in a hurry. Looking at Shen Yang's back, Xiang Yu couldn't help but sneer, Zhao Guo is so weak. It seems that he is the only one who is Zhang Han. the only opponent,
,,,,,,
The Qin army's attack on the city finally slowed down. At this time, the area around Julu became calm again. The Zhao army swept away the fatigue of the past and carried away all the corpses. Flags were again planted on the top of the city, and groups of soldiers patrolled back and forth.
In Chen Yu's camp north of Julu, the same situation happened at this time. The Qin army stopped attacking the city. The Zhao army soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere in the commander's tent also relaxed a lot. Chen Yu stood at this time. In front of the map, he stared at the map with bright eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
Soon, a soldier rushed into the tent, came to Chen Yu's side, cupped his hands and said: "Report to the general, General Zhang Nan and General Chen Ze have died on the battlefield."
After hearing the report, Chen Yu couldn't help but sneer, "You overestimate your capabilities, you wasted my five thousand soldiers and horses in vain."
"In addition, Mr. Shen is waiting outside the camp. I would like to ask the general if he would like to ask him to enter the account," the anxious soldier reported again. When Chen Yu heard Shen Yang's name, he was perked up and hurriedly said: "Let him in quickly." Come,"
The anxious soldiers made a promise and retreated. At this time, the deputy general Jiang Ye on the side raised his hands and said: "General, the Qin army suddenly stopped advancing. There must be something fishy in it. We must guard against it."
Chen Yu also wondered whether the Qin army had stopped after just one battle that night. While Chen Yu was hesitating and thinking silently, there were rapid footsteps outside the tent. Soon, Shen Yang walked quickly Entering, he laughed loudly and said: "General Chen, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Haha, Master Shen, I miss you too," Chen Yu quickly greeted him. The two of them held hands with each other, and then walked together to the soft mat not far away. After walking a few steps, Shen Yang said with a smile: "General Chen must be wondering why the Qin army suddenly stopped attacking the city,"
"Yes, I am indeed thinking about this issue," Chen Yu said with a smile.
Seeing that Chen Yu didn't know that the Chu army had marched north, Shen Yang laughed even more heartily. At this time, he had sat on the soft seat opposite Chen Yu. The other generals retreated one after another. At this time, Shen Yang laughed and said: " I rushed to the Chu camp the day before yesterday and met with General Xiang Yu of the Chu army. He promised me that he would reach Julu within five days. Therefore, I rushed back in a hurry, hoping that General Chen Yu would not move the army rashly. Waiting for the Chu army to move north, making calculations, "
Hearing that the Chu army was heading north, Chen Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed. His voice trembled as he said, "Did the Chu army really go north?"
"It's true. Song Yi was originally in charge of the Chu army, but Song Yi led the troops and stationed in Anyang. The Chu army was having difficulty supplying supplies. Song Yi didn't know how to take care of it. Instead, he feasted day and night, which angered Xiang Yu and took his power. At this time, The officers and soldiers of the Chu army were ordered by Xiang Yu to serve as their attendants. The three armies were in high spirits and had already set out to move out."
Hearing this, Chen Yu sneered: "It's just an excuse to seize power."
But Chen Yu had heard about Xiang Yu's reputation for a long time. During the battle in Dong'a, Zhang Han was killed by Xiang Yu. Presumably, Zhang Han would have trouble sleeping and eating in this encounter between Qin and Chu. His old rival is here.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu laughed loudly again,
,,,,,,
At dawn, the rumbling drums echoed over Julu City again. If the Chu army's march northward had deeply touched Zhang Han, today, Zhang Han has already marched toward Julu City with the determination to succeed or succeed. The deer attacks again,
Instead of waiting for death, it is better to capture Julu, defend the city, and resist the Chu army. This was Zhang Han's decision after thinking about it all night.
Zhang Han cannot deny that he is afraid of Xiang Yu, and it is a fear that is difficult to erase, but Zhang Han is not a person who will run away from danger. Now that the war is coming, he will inevitably have to fight Xiang Yu. If he is timid and flees, then the Qin army of more than 300,000 will collapse instantly like a levee.
So, today, before dawn, Zhang Han once again issued the order to attack Julu. Moreover, Zhang Han invested nearly 200,000 Qin troops this time. He wanted to capture Julu in the shortest possible time.
Determination determines victory or defeat, so Zhang Han is so determined to fight Zhao Jun.
At this time, groups of Qin troops rushed towards Julu City like waves. Soon, ladders were set up on the top of the city. The Qin army began to rush towards the city. The war soon started.
Accompanied by the sound of roaring drums, ladders were set up on the top of the city. The Qin army held up their shields and began to climb step by step towards the top of the city. Many Qin soldiers waved their spears. When climbing, they looked at the right time and shot towards the city. The city head was stabbed away, but after a spear pierced the air, the Qin army's ladder was pushed away again. As the ladder roared away, the Qin army soldiers let out a burst of screams,
Not far away, Zhang Han, who had always been stationed at the sentry tower, saw the difficulty of the Qin army's attack on the city. He couldn't help sighing, looking into the distance, and just about to get angry, a scout rushed over and said with cupped hands: "General, south I found a large army of horses and tens of thousands of people marching towards Julu,"
Just after the scout finished his report, Zhang Han became completely furious. He turned back to Shejian and roared: "Shejian, I leave this matter to you. Go and deal with the Chu army."
Seeing Zhang Han's rage, Shejian did not dare to disobey, so he had to hold his hands aside and say: "I will obey the order, general."
,,,,,,
Beside the bank of the Zhang River, five thousand Qin troops were waiting in full formation. On the opposite side, twenty thousand Chu troops were in powerful formation, with cavalry in front and chariots behind. They formed a stalemate. The two armies were powerful. Soon, Pu Shan and Ying Bu rode out on horseback. Everyone stared into the distance in front of the formation. Seeing Shejian's unruly expression, Pu Shan couldn't help but become furious. He waved his halberd and rushed towards Shejian.
Shejian also seemed to feel that Pu Shan was coming from an unkind person. He waved his weapon and faced Pu Shan. Sparks flew from the two weapons. After the huge impact of the horses, the two quickly separated. Shejian relaxed his hand holding the weapon. , numb and unbearable, Shejian felt that Pu Shan was definitely not an easy opponent to deal with. At this time, he had reined in his horse and returned, roaring, and killed Pu Shan again,
After running for more than a hundred steps, Pu Shan immediately turned his horse's head. He quietly stared at Shejian who was galloping towards him. Pu Shan took off his bow from his back, twisted an arrow, and drew the bow. Like the full moon, his eyes were fixed on Wabama, waiting for the best opportunity to shoot arrows.
At this time, Shejian also felt that death was slowly approaching him. He hurriedly reined in his horse, but an arrow had already come at great speed. Shejian instinctively waved his halberd and blocked the speeding arrow, but soon Quickly, a spearhead had already been stabbed. Shejian almost instinctively lay down on the horse, avoiding Pu Shan's fatal blow. At this time, Shejian no longer wanted to fight Pu Shan, so he turned his horse around. On the opposite side, seeing Shejian escaping hastily and Pushan's victory, Yingbu waved his weapon, waved it forward, and shouted: "My sons, charge over,"
The Chu army rushed towards the Qin army like an overwhelming mountain. However, the Qin army was already demoralized due to the defeat of Shejian. At this time, 20,000 Chu troops swarmed to kill. The Qin army's final bottom line had collapsed. I don't know who was the first to escape. , One person led a hundred people, and a hundred people led a thousand people. In an instant, the Qin army collapsed towards Julu.
Ying Bu and Pu Shan took the lead in charging, and the Chu soldiers behind them were all excited. The Qin soldiers who were killed knelt down and begged for mercy. However, many Qin soldiers still escaped from the battlefield. They abandoned their weapons, flags, belongings and other items one after another. Although they were carrying heavy loads, they still couldn't outrun the galloping horses. The Chu army's cavalry was getting closer and closer to the Qin army. Suddenly, the roaring drums sounded, and a group of army horses galloped slowly. They gathered the Qin army's defeated soldiers and began to form an array. fight against,
