Chapter 272: Really Dead

The army is in desperate situation.

The left wing of Zhao's army collapsed completely, and the entire camp and tents were reduced to dust in the raging fire——.

The smoke rising into the sky, the noisy shouts, and the cold and neglected corpses lying on the ground. It was a bloody and fierce battle scene like a hell on earth.

Qin and Zhao, two great powers who were once rivals, faced each other again after nearly a hundred years of entanglement. The result frightened many famous people in Guanzhong.

After continuous blood loss, Liu Bang was forced to go into battle in person. Unfortunately, his commanding ability was barely passable at best. As for Chen Yu, he had no reputation and no actual achievements. The two of them were as good as Li in terms of commanding ability.

Compared with the original, the difference is huge.

Liu Bang was alone and had no hope of breaking through. He could only defend a high slope and wait for the arrival of almost impossible reinforcements. For this remnant army that was about to be destroyed, Li Yuan slowed down the pace of his attack.

"Order, Chen Xi's troops continue to besiege Liu Bang's army, and Su Jiao's heavy cavalry withdraws from the battlefield and hides around Li Qi's military camp, waiting for opportunities to ambush the enemy who moves."

"Reorder: Cao Xin's army re-formed outside Julu City and prepared siege equipment."

"The remaining ministries should quickly collect the prisoners, purge the troops, and follow my actions."

The Qin army's strategy of encircling the point to mobilize reinforcements turned into an unachievable tactical concept due to Chen Yu's hesitation. After discovering that Julu's Zhao army had not yet dispatched signs, the Qin army adjusted its deployment and moved Su Jiao's

The heavy cavalry was transferred to the battlefield to mop up Liu's remaining resistance forces.

Using heavy cavalry to deal with the Zhao soldiers who were clothed in ragged clothes and even lacked weapons was the reason why Liu Bang's nearly 20,000 soldiers were quickly defeated. More importantly, after Li Yuan noticed Chen Yu's hesitation, he quickly invested

He took all the fresh troops of the Qin army and pursued Liu Bang fiercely.

——.

The morning sun rose as usual, the sky was blue, and the red glow showed a corner of the eastern sky, gradually filling up half of the sky.

At the highest point of Julu City, a red warband embroidered with the word "Zhao" stands alone facing the east, reflecting the broken flags at intervals on the battlefield.

Accompanied by a group of soldiers, Zhao Wang Chen Yu climbed up the steps that were still wet before dawn. Looking at the miserable scene from a distance, Chen Yu held his hands on the wall and tightly supported his shaking body. This trembling

Such a feeling had not happened for three or four years. Back then, during the great war between Qin and Chu, he had experienced such strange fear.

Is this fear?

Chen Yu straightened his chest, but he had to admit in his heart that he was actually a hypocrite who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

"Your Majesty, King Yan's messenger has come to report that reinforcements from the other army arrived in the plain area, but were blocked by a group of soldiers pretending to be Zhao troops. It is estimated that it will take ten days to reach Julu."

"Zhongli, the Marquis of Changshan, came to report that his troops were entangled with the bandit Peng Yue in the north of Juye Ze, and for the time being they could not spare any troops to come to their aid."

"The Wei army is still thirty miles away from the battlefield, but the Wei army's movement speed is only three miles per day. This——!" One bad news after another made Chen Yu, Zhang Liang and other generals of the Zhao army breathless.

When the princes gathered for an alliance and had empty talks at the banquet, everyone talked loudly. Together they criticized the cruelty of the Qin army and agreed on a joint strategy to send troops. However, during the actual operation, selfish thoughts came over and the so-called alliance was shattered.

It all came to nothing. Judging from Chen Yu's unsuccessful alliance, the failure of the six-nation alliance in the Kanto region was an inevitable result.

"Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer, cough cough cough -! Liang boldly said that if the king refuses to save him, Pei Gong's today will not be the king's tomorrow." Zhang Liang said quietly while holding on to the city wall.

Liu Bang leaned out half of his body in the direction where he was surrounded. His thin figure looked particularly lonely against the hard stone wall.

"Wait a minute, your Majesty. The morale of the Qin army is at its peak. It would be unfavorable for our army to go to war at this time. Why don't we send Li Qi's troops to assist Pei Gong first? When the Qin army is exhausted from killing them, our army will rush out of the city in one fell swoop. This way we can fight

You have nothing to worry about." Beside Chen Yu, several ministers of Zhao State changed their faces when they heard Zhang Liang's sarcasm. Among them, Gongcheng Zilong, the official of Zhao State, objected angrily.

Gongcheng Zilong was Chen Yu's brother-in-law and a descendant of the powerful Gongcheng family in the Zhao Kingdom. After Chen Yu became the king, the Gongcheng family also grew stronger and their power was unparalleled.

"Master Gongcheng, Duke Pei is in imminent danger. If the king sits on the sidelines again, how do you think the princes will view the king and how the people of Zhao will view us?" Zhang Liang retorted with a sneer.

"Zhang Zifang, you dare to speak nonsense, come here and take it down for me." Gongcheng Zilong was used to pampering himself, and he couldn't answer the words for a while, so he had to hold his neck and threaten.

"Everyone retreat. Don't be impatient, I, Chen Yu. Since I am the leader of the alliance, I must fulfill my oath and never be a treacherous person. All generals listen to the order: prepare the army, open the door and attack, kill, kill, kill!" Chen Yu

He took a long breath and shouted with a livid face.

When it comes to eloquence, Zhang Liang's eloquence skills are not among the best in Guandong, but he is also ranked among the top five celebrities. His words, which he stood aside and stood aside, hit Chen Yu's heart instantly.

"The king has an order, go out of the city and kill the enemy, kill the enemy!" The shouts of the messengers echoed in the city in the morning light, causing the Zhao army officers and soldiers who had been waiting and waiting to become confused.

Zhao Jun's deployment was adjusted under chaotic orders one after another. Chen Yu's repeated hesitation and willfulness made the Zhao Jun generals at the bottom at a loss. Among them, even the right-wing Zhao Jun commander Li Qi felt in a dilemma.

Started talking about coming to help.

Later, he said that he had to wait, and the wait lasted a day and a night. Seeing that Liu Bang's army on the left wing was almost exhausted, Chen Yu's order to attack came belatedly.

——.

Zhao Jun went out of the city to invite a battle.

This was the result that Li Yuan was happy to see. In fact, the reason why he surrounded Liu Bang's remnant army but did not fight was to arouse civil strife among the Zhao army in Julu City.

In front of the Qin army's formation.

The 20,000 infantry led by Li Yuan personally faced off against Chen Yu and Li Qi's huge army of nearly 60,000. This time Zhao Jun's speed of conclusion was pretty good. Of course, in the end, it was all thanks to Li Qi who almost abandoned the camp and ran over.

speed.

A battle involving no less than 80,000 people began.

If you add in the remnants of Liu Bang who were being surrounded and destroyed by the Qin army, the number of troops involved in this battle was about 100,000, and this was only the situation on the Julu battlefield.

Quick victory.

Treat others with their own medicine. In front of the princes of all walks of life, Li Yuan's newly built Qin army demonstrated the majesty of the Great Qin King's Division and revealed the invincible domineering power of the Great Qin Army.

The drums beat like thunder, and the dull sound of heavy cavalry trampling the earth makes people step on the ground, giving a feeling of shaking left and right. Five thousand heavy cavalry, led by Qin Army General Su Jiao, slowly climbed over the low mounds.

, appeared in front of the Zhao army generals who had just lined up and were still a little panicked.

"It's the Qin Cavalry, the heavy armored cavalry."

"Keep your voice down, lest the general hears you."

In the Zhao army's formation, whispers from the soldiers could be heard from time to time, and even some low-level captains and military princes looked at the enemy team appearing on the flank with surprised eyes.

"Send an order to General Li Qi, and the right wing troops will go out to attack the enemy cavalry." Chen Yu suppressed his anxiety and uneasiness and issued the first order for the large corps to fight.

"My sons of Zhao, the time has come for us to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. Kill, kill, kill!" Chen Yu raised his sword and made three false blows in succession, with the sword pointed directly at the Qin army's banner opposite.

Upon hearing Chen Yu's order, all Zhao army units started making noises in unison. Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted and began to line up towards the dark and silent Qin army on the opposite side.

Under the banner of the Central Army of Qin.

Li Yuan coldly watched every move of the Zhao army on the opposite side. Chen Yu's ridiculous scheduling made him feel like an adult bullying a child. Just a feint by the Qin army's heavy cavalry allowed Chen Yu to dispatch 20,000 soldiers from Li Qi.

To deal with it, using infantry against heavy cavalry with greater mobility and attack power, it would be good if Li Qi could hold out for two hours without being defeated.

“Order: Cao Xin’s catapults cover Zhao’s rear formation—!”

"Order: Crossbow troops, three consecutive launches!"

"Heavy armored troops, come out, the first team, press forward."

The orders of the generals of the Qin Army were passed between the military formations. Facing the enemies who greatly outnumbered themselves, the generals of the Qin Army not only had no fear, but on the contrary, they were slightly excited.

A rabble.

When they saw Zhao soldiers running forward, being hit by stones and falling down from time to time, the Qin generals all showed expressions of disdain on their faces.

——.

By the Zhang River.

Liu Bang had no way to retreat. Most of the five thousand remnant soldiers in the morning surrendered under the persuasion of Chen Xi, a surrendered general who deserved to be killed with a thousand swords. The remaining three hundred men also had a change of mind and held swords in their hands.

I also gradually let go.

"Chen Thief, you want Liu Ji's head. If you have the ability, come and get it." Liu Bang stood under a broken and broken sword while shaking his sword, hissing.

"King of Han, this is the last time I, Chen Xi, call you the last time. Although, you are no longer the King of Han. This world is already the world of Qin Dynasty, and the world of Marquis Shenwu. If you reach the underworld on the road to Huangquan, you will also die.

I have the intention to rebel against Qin." Chen Xi sneered and shouted.

"You ungrateful thief, don't even think about humiliating me." Liu Bang shouted, raising his sword to slash at Chen Xi who was approaching step by step. He didn't understand what Chen Xi was doing by getting so close. Subconsciously, Liu Bang thought that Chen Xi was

To capture him alive.

"Death." Chen Xi took a step forward with his sword, stabbing it smoothly into Liu Bang's old and weak body. With a slight flick of the sword, he cut off Liu Bang's unwillingly beating heart.

"You——!" Liu Bang held Chen Xi's strong body tightly, his eyes gradually lost their luster.

"If I don't kill you, how can Marquis Wu trust me?" Chen Xi drew his sword hard, causing Liu Bang's limp body to lie on the ground. Behind Chen Xi, Zhang Chun, Manqiuchen, Chen Chu and other Han generals swarmed up.

, slashing Liu Bang, who had lost his voice, until there was no sound of gasping and moaning from the Zhao army soldiers on the high hill. (To be continued...)
