Liu Bang came all the way with more than 100,000 troops. When he saw the Qin troops killed by Xiang Liang's sergeants, he couldn't help but begin to believe that the Qin troops had indeed encountered Fusu's attack and had withdrawn to Xianyang. Since now

Since he was chasing the fleeing enemy, Liu Bang was naturally more unwilling to lag behind. His army of more than 100,000 troops moved forward quickly, fearing that he would miss the opportunity and all the credit would be taken away by Xiang Liang.

Then Liu Bang saw a Qin army that was ready to fight with him. Suddenly he and his soldiers were stunned. They ran excitedly to fight the drowned dog, but unexpectedly they saw

Arriving at the Qin army, which was waiting in full formation.

When Zhang Han saw this disorganized team, he felt relieved. Without any orders from him, when the Chu army entered the range of the crossbows, the crossbowmen at the front had already shot all their arrows at the Chu army.

Because the attack was unprepared, the Chu army's shield soldiers did not stand at the front of the team. When they saw the Qin army's arrows coming, they quickly raised their shields on the spot, but

Because the team was loose, the shield could not cover many soldiers. After a round of arrows, the Chu army at the front fell in large pieces. Many soldiers fell to the ground with their hands covering their wounds and screamed in pain.

"The shield men stepped forward to form a formation, and the spearmen were ready to fight..." Liu Bang saw this situation and knew that he could not run away, so he had to fight. However, the formation of the team was now in a mess, so he could only order the soldiers to arrange their formation before the battle.

However, these Chu soldiers first ran for a long distance, and then encountered the Qin army's attack. At this time, they were spinning in circles like headless flies. The soldiers could not find their generals, and the generals could not find their own soldiers.

When Zhang Han saw the chaos of the Chu army, he naturally would not miss this good opportunity. He waved the command flag in his hand and ordered: "The cavalry will attack and separate the Chu army's troops for me. Today, these Chu troops will be separated."

All the troops will be wiped out." The cavalry on both sides immediately attacked in full force, launching an attack from the left and right sides of the Chu army.

At this time, Xiang Liang was in the Qin army. Seeing his soldiers being attacked and fell by the Qin army without any preparation, his heart was full of regret: "Oh my God, I have committed such a big mistake."

One mistake, will all the Chu army be destroyed in my hands?" If he hadn't been tied tightly now, I'm afraid Xiang Liang would have committed suicide to apologize.

Because the cavalry began to raid, the Qin army's crossbowmen stopped firing arrows, which also gave the Chu army a chance to breathe. After all, they were also veterans who had been trained for a long time. Although they were not the opponents of the Qin army in terms of combat effectiveness, after all

Still elite soldiers, under the constant search and orders of generals at all levels, the Chu army finally formed a formation, but this was also an opportunity bought with the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. Seeing that the Qin army's cavalry attacked their own

On both wings, Liu Bang hurriedly transferred most of the shield soldiers to that side. Hundreds of huge shields stood in front of the formation, making it impossible for the crossbow arrows in the hands of the Qin army's cavalry to play their role. At the same time, these shields could also be used to block the huge cavalry fire.

Impact. Behind the shield soldiers are spearmen one by one. They are ready to give the cavalry a fatal blow at any time when they rush out of the gaps in the shield.

The Qin army's cavalry had already raised their crossbows when they were still a hundred steps away from the Chu army's formation, but those feather arrows did not do much damage to the Chu army. Then when they reached the Chu army

When he was in front of him, he found that he could not break through the opponent's defense. After trying to attack several times, the cavalry of ten thousand people had no choice but to retreat.

Seeing that his cavalry was not as effective as it should be, Zhang Han couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that these Chu soldiers are no worse than our Qin soldiers in terms of military discipline. It seems that it is not easy to eat them in one bite."

It's too possible." Having said that, Zhang Han did not stop attacking because he knew that this was the opportunity he had finally got. If he could not wipe out this Chu army, then he might not be able to do so in the future.

There was a better chance. So he immediately issued another order: "The 30,000 Chinese troops charged directly into the center of the Chu army in fish scale formation. They must break up their formation."

The fish scale formation is a formation that is most suitable for attacking the opponent's camp. It is like a fish scale, with sharp ends and a thick middle. Once it engages the enemy, it will definitely break through the opponent's formation, and then use the men and horses in the middle to separate the enemy.

Come, so that the enemy can't look at each other, so as to deal with the enemy. Following Zhang Han's order, the 30,000 Chinese troops rushed forward at the fastest speed. They are all the most elite warriors in the Qin army. They can

Make it one versus two.

After seeing the Chinese army rushing out, Zhang Han ordered the soldiers on the left and right wings to wait quietly in front of the formation. Once the Chu army was really rushed away, the troops on both sides would cover up and kill the Chu army together with the Chinese army.

For a time, the whole battlefield was filled with the sound of killing, and the Qin and Chu armies launched a desperate struggle. The Qin army had the advantage of striking first and having elite soldiers, while the Chu army relied on the strength of its numbers, and the two sides were inextricably killed.

In the city of Surabaya, both Fan Zeng and Xiao He stayed here. Although they had already received military reports that the Qin army had left the vicinity of Surabaya, they did not dare to be careless. After all, Zhang Han had conquered three cities in a row a few days ago.

It was too powerful, so they were also afraid that the Qin people were trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain this time. The defenders in the old city did not relax their vigilance, and Fan Zeng and his two men always climbed to the top of the city to confirm whether it was really safe.

Now the two of them were on the city wall again. Xiao He and Fan Zeng were both learned men. They had met many times to discuss knowledge when they were in Kuaiji County, and they were even closer now that they were in the city of Surabaya. Although Xiao He knew that he was closely related to this item.

Liang's military advisors were in opposing positions, but they still admired Fan Zeng's knowledge, so the relationship between the two could be said to be good. After seeing that there was nothing going on, Fan Zeng said to Xiao He: "Brother Xiao, my general will go after him."

Then the Qin army has been there for two days, and General Liu also left yesterday. Why haven't we seen them come back with their troops for so long? Could it be that the Qin people had some other motive for retreating this time?"

Xiao He was actually worried too, but when he saw that the soldiers around him were listening to the conversation between the two men, he was afraid of causing unnecessary panic, so he said: "Mr. Fan, don't worry, it's obvious that the Qin people didn't want to retreat so secretly."

We know that if it was a plan, it would not be like this. Although the Qin army must be uncertain about its retreat, the Qin people's combat power cannot be underestimated. Perhaps General Xiang and General Liu are leading the army to fight fiercely with the Qin people.

.As long as we can defend the city of Surabaya, the two generals will be able to return safely." When he said this, Xiao He looked to the south and asked curiously: "Where did that army come from?"

Fan Zeng followed Xiao He's gaze and saw a mighty army coming towards Sishui City. He was also shocked, because except for Xiang Yu's tens of thousands of troops, there was no one else with so many troops in Chu State.

The soldiers were dead, and he was afraid that Xiang Yu would take the opportunity to seize Sishui County, and then he would be in a dilemma.

The defenders on the city also saw the incoming army. Immediately some people drew their bows and pointed them in the direction of the incoming army. At the same time, the defensive equipment also began to move to the south gate. The troops were ready to fight. But the incoming army

But when they were still three miles away from the city of Surabaya, they stopped advancing. Then a soldier rode to the city and said: "We are reinforcements from the state of Qi. At the invitation of the King of Chu, we came to help your army defend Surabaya."

, is there anyone in charge in the city?"

Xiao He and Fan Zeng looked at each other and remembered that when the war between Qin and Chu began, the King of Chu sent an envoy to the State of Qi to ask for help. After seeing Fan Zeng nodded, Xiao He ordered someone to ask: "You said they were from the State of Qi.

What proof can we provide for reinforcements?”

The soldier immediately raised a roll in his hand and said, "This is the letter that King Chu gave us when he sent my general here. You will know it at a glance."

The people in the city put a basket down and asked him to put the letter in it. When the letter was brought up, Fan Zeng and Xiao He read it carefully. After confirming that it was indeed a letter from the King of Chu, they said: "General, please forgive me.

In this extraordinary period, we have to be careful." After saying that, he ordered people to open the city gate and let the Qi troops enter the city.

Jiang Huan traveled all the way and finally arrived at the city of Surabaya, but he did not find a single Qin soldier. He was very surprised. As soon as he entered the city, he asked: "Didn't it say that the city of Surabaya is being besieged by Qin Dayunian? Why don't you see an enemy?"

?”

Originally, Fan Zeng and his two men had planned to compliment and thank Jiang Huan a few times before taking him to meet him. Unexpectedly, Jiang Huan was not a person who paid attention to etiquette, so they had to tell the truth: "Before the general comes,

, the Qin army retreated, and the two generals Liu Bang and Xiang Liang are leading their troops to pursue them. It has been two days now."

"So that's it. Then please tell me the general whereabouts of the Qin army, so that my troops from Qi can catch up." Jiang Huan said with interest after hearing this.

"Your army has come a long way and must be exhausted. Why not rest in the city for one night before setting off?" Xiao He advised.

"Arms are expensive and fast. Now is the best time to catch up with the Qin people. How can we wait here? Please tell me the whereabouts of the Qin army." Jiang Huan wanted to make meritorious deeds, so he just kept asking Qin.

The whereabouts of the army.

"Of course they are going west." Fan Zeng thought that the tens of thousands more troops would be helpful to Xiang Liang, so he said to Jiang Huan. When Jiang Huan heard this, he immediately led the troops out of Surabaya City and headed west. Xiao He

He smiled and said: "With these 50,000 troops, those Qin troops will not be able to escape and ascend to heaven."

At this time, Xiang Yu, who was in Jiujiang County, was already arranging his troops and preparing to send troops to Surabaya to help his uncle. "Although I don't take that king of Chu seriously, it is my uncle who is resisting the Qin army now.
