Zhang Han retreated in embarrassment with less than 50,000 soldiers and horses. Behind them were nearly 200,000 pursuers from the Qi and Chu coalition forces. This time they really became the targets of pursuit.

.Looking at the panicked generals and soldiers around him, Zhang Han felt bitter, just because he

He was too confident and did not let the scouts continue to investigate behind the Chu army after the battle. This led to him having no idea that the Chu army would actually have tens of thousands more people. The miscalculation of the strategy led to the entire

The situation was reversed, and he changed from a hunter to a prey pursued by the enemy.

Zhang Han still remembered that when his army tried its best to attack the Chu army's center, he was very confident, because he thought that since the Chu army sent nearly a centaur to attack his side, their center must be empty, and as long as he

The Chinese army's attack speed is enough

If you are fast, you will definitely be able to kill the Chu army before the opponent's army breaks through your side, and chop down the opponent's flag. As long as the flag falls, the opponent will attack your troops on the side.

There will be chaos, and the Chinese army will have a sure chance of victory.

In the past few days, although everyone was fighting on the plains, the Chu army still put up a defensive formation. In addition, the Chu army had a large number of people, so Zhang Hancai had been unable to do anything to them. This time the Chu army actually sent nearly half of the troops.

The troops took the initiative to attack, which made Zhang Han extremely happy. And his battle with his Chinese army

They also have great trust in their strength. If the difference in numbers is not too big, these Chu troops will definitely not be able to block the attack of their central army. Therefore, the battle in Zhang Han is about to end with their own victory.

, then he can march his army directly to Surabaya, and then the entire Chu land.

But his sweet dream was shattered as soon as he started. The Chinese army's assault was tightly blocked by the Chu army just before it reached the Chu army's formation. There were 30,000 Chinese troops but nearly 100,000 Chu troops came to resist. Not only could they not make another attack

They advanced even an inch, and were killed by several times the number of enemies and pushed back continuously. If the Qin army was not much better than the Chu army in terms of combat strength and equipment, I am afraid they would have been completely annihilated.

Zhang Han took a look and hurriedly sent another 20,000 horses to attack from both sides of the Chu army. In his opinion, since the Chu army had gathered 100,000 horses in front and tens of thousands of horses were attacking him, then Chu

There should be no other troops left to defend both sides.

But the result was beyond Zhang Han's expectation. The 20,000 men and horses were completely blocked by the Chu army. Only then did Zhang Han feel that something was wrong. It seemed that the number of the Chu army was not more than the 100,000 he knew.

Instead, it reached nearly two hundred thousand.

But before he could figure out the key, the enemy troops attacking from his side had already broken through his defense line and charged towards the Chinese army. At the same time, the Qin army's attacking Chinese army was also defeated by Chu's 100,000-strong army.

The Qin army had to retreat continuously, so that the Chu army also took advantage of the situation to attack. In an instant, the situation suddenly reversed, and the Qin army was faced with enemies on three sides, leaving only the power to parry.

Zhang Han, who was in the Chinese army, received battle reports from three sides, and his face became increasingly ugly. However, Xiang Liang, who had always been looking sad next to him, turned happy: "General Zhang, I didn't expect that even though you are so cunning, you will still be able to do it in the end."

No match for our great Chu soldiers."

Hearing Xiang Liang's gloating about his misfortune, Zhang Han's face turned ugly. He came to Xiang Liang, grabbed his lapel and said, "Tell me, do you have any other reinforcements from Chu State?" Speaking of reinforcements,

At that time, Zhang Han suddenly thought of the battle report he had received a few days ago, which said that Qi's army to aid Chu was already on the way. He suddenly said: "It turns out to be them. I actually forgot about this army."

He said with regret. Then he looked at Xiang Liang who looked proud and said: "What are you proud of? Since you are in my hands, I can use you to threaten the Chu army to suspend the attack." He said that he was going to kill him.

The men dragged Xiang Liang out. At this important moment of victory or defeat, Zhang Han no longer said anything about taking Xiang Liang for his own use. He just wanted to use Xiang Liang's life to buy himself some time.

"Listen to the Chu army on the opposite side, your general Xiang Liang is here. If you don't want his head to fall on the ground, stop attacking, or collect his body for him!" A Qin soldier dragged Xiang Liang to the front of the two armies' formation, and in the chaos

He spoke loudly on the battlefield, and thanks to his loud enough voice, it was actually heard by the soldiers of both armies in the battle.

Then the Chu army's attack slowed down for a while, and Liu Bang also appeared in front of the formation with his men, asking Zhang Han to come out and talk. Of course Zhang Han went out to the formation when he saw this, and the two generals were separated by a few miles.

They talked through their respective soldiers.

"Your master, General Xiang Liang, is here. If you still want him to save his life, just retreat ten miles!" Zhang Han's words cannot be refuted at all.

"As a general, he should have had the consciousness to die in battle. It is impossible for our army to accept your conditions, but if you can put General Xiang back into our formation, I will allow your army to safely withdraw from Chu."

Don't stop me." Liu Bang was not moved at all.

Just when the two generals were bargaining, the Qi army, which was attacking the flank of the Qin army, suddenly launched another attack. This made Zhang Han very angry. But what happened next made him even more stunned. Suddenly, from the Chu army's formation,

He shot a cold arrow straight towards Xiang Liang. Because the Qin people did not expect that the Chu army would actually shoot a cold arrow at Xiang Liang, so when the arrow hit Xiang Liang, the Qin army surrounding him only had time to let out a surprise.

Yelled, and then this general who had great military exploits in the Chu State and was unparalleled in power was killed by an arrow shot by an unknown Chu army in front of the two armies.

Hundreds of thousands of troops present witnessed this shocking scene with their own eyes. A general of the three armies who would not have dared to execute him easily even if he was caught by the enemy was actually so easily killed in the formation of the two armies.

Before, and the person who killed him was unknown, it was enough to make everyone stunned. But in fact, Xiang Liang was also a human being, and his life was exactly the same as that of all the soldiers on the battlefield. He might have died in a majestic battle.

Of course, it is also possible that he died in a confused manner at the hands of an unknown minor character like he did now.

While everyone was still in a daze, Liu Bang was the first to wake up. He pointed the long sword in his hand and said loudly: "The people of Qin killed me, General Xiang Liang. If they don't avenge me, I swear that I will not be a human being! The officers and men of the three armies obey the order.

Kill me!" "If I don't avenge this, I swear I won't be a human being! If I don't avenge this revenge, I swear I won't be a human being!" All the Chu troops shouted these eight words loudly, and then the whole army rushed towards the Qin people.

As the saying goes, the mourning army must win, and with the help of the Qi army on both sides, the Chu army quickly broke away the Qin army's formation. The two armies fought to the death, but in the end the Qin army was at a numerical disadvantage and came.

After losing 50,000 troops, Zhang Han took the remaining troops to distance themselves from the Chu army and headed for Chen County. However, the Chu and Qi coalition forces behind him did not relax their pursuit of them.

is closely followed.

Zhang Han led his men and horses to retreat to the northwest. He was full of regrets. He had made countless mistakes in this battle. From the beginning, he did not send scouts to pay attention to the enemy's situation, to believing that Xiang Liang alone could make the Chu army retreat.

, and when Xiang Liang died, he was distracted by the unexpected event and was not really prepared. This series of mistakes led to today's defeat. But now is not the time to regret it. Not only did he have to lead the soldiers to

After retreating, he also had to send some elite troops along the road to block the Chu army's advance. Only in this way could he ensure that his army could safely return to Chen County. Therefore, he did not think much about Xiang Liang's death. In his mind, it might be the Chu army.

One of the archers was so nervous that he shot his arrow, and accidentally hit Xiang Liang.

But is this really the case?

No, Liu Bang was inexplicably excited at this time. He not only defeated the invading Qin army, but also shot the person he wanted to get rid of in front of everyone. "Lao Fan, your spirit in heaven can

I feel a little relieved because one of your enemies has been used as a trick

Kill them. After I repel the Qin army, I will gain great power in the Chu State. At that time, I will personally lead the troops to get rid of your other enemy Xiang Yu." Liu Bang commanded on his horse.

The army chased forward, but in his heart he was praying to the dead Fan Kuai.

When he heard that the Qin army had captured Xiang Liang, Liu Bang knew that one of his wishes would come true. But then the Qin army actually thought of using Xiang Liang to threaten him to withdraw. Liu Bang knew Xiang Liang's influence in the Chu army.

Still very big, if

If he fails to agree with the opponent's conditions and still leads troops to attack, the sergeant's fighting spirit will inevitably be greatly reduced. But if he really wants to retreat for Xiang Liang, let alone the King of Chu, he can't explain it. Even if he has to pass this test,

No. When Liu Bang was very conflicted,

Suddenly he thought of a strategy that would not only allow Xiang Liang to die to avenge his death, but also use his death to inspire the Chu army's soldiers, so he ordered an archer who had followed him since the beginning of the army to be buried at the forefront of the army.

When he and Zhang Han faced each other in front of the battle,

As he spoke, the archer's arrow shot at Xiang Liang, who was tied up in front of the Qin army's formation. Thinking of Xiang Liang's blood-covered look and the disbelief in his eyes when he was hit by the arrow, Liu Bang just felt like laughing.

It takes a few sounds to express the joy in your heart.

Because of Xiang Liang's death, the Chu army aroused endless fighting power. Not only did they defeat the Qin army, but they also followed closely to completely annihilate these enemies. This was another result of Liu Bang's strategy.

effect.

But what Liu Bang didn't realize was that this battle was just the beginning of the chaos in Chu. With Xiang Liang's death, the entire Chu State would face a real threat, and that threat came from the people who were coming to Sishui County with tens of thousands of troops.

Xiang Yu, no one can guess what he will do when he knows that his uncle is dead.
