"Behind the barrier is the Qin army's camp. The Qin army has already set up a battle formation?"

Xiang Qu's eyes flashed coldly.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, although he has a violent personality, he also has sufficient military literacy and knows the importance of detecting the enemy's situation.

When he sent people to attack the seventh barrier of the Qin army, he also asked people to build a tall building with wood in front of the barrier and ordered people to climb up and look at the situation behind the barrier.

The last barrier of the Qin army was built at the end of this defile. Behind it was an open area, and about two miles away was a large Qin army camp.

According to the observation of the scouts, the Qin army had already set up a battle formation between the military camp and the barrier, and was waiting for the Chu army to break through the barrier and engage in a bloody battle.

Xiang Qu was both happy and worried.

Fortunately, Zhao Tuo did not run to Pengcheng. The Chu army had been chasing for so long, and now they finally caught up with the main force of Zhao Tuo's Qin army here.

He finally caught Zhao Tuo, and the two could fight face to face here.

But compared to joy, what is greater is worry.

The Qin army on the opposite side was waiting for work, full of energy, and took advantage of the location.

On the other hand, the Chu army continued to attack the base here for several days. Their troops were blunted and their morale was depleted. The situation was very unfavorable to him.

"General, this is a trap. Our army has broken through the Qin army's six barriers in a row in the past few days, and our soldiers have suffered thousands of casualties. Compared to the Qin army, our military strength is no longer superior, and the enemy is waiting in formation, and is in a period of vigor. If our army captures the barrier, I'm afraid the Qin army will counterattack!" Jing Tong persuaded.

This situation has been completely made clear. The Qin army is going to use seven consecutive barriers to drain the Chu people's energy and morale, increase the Chu army's casualties, and finally break it from the front with elite soldiers waiting to work.

"Yes, General, that General Qin is too insidious, we can't go there."

Cai Wu also shouted. When attacking the fortress in front, five thousand men under his command were sent to attack one wall and suffered heavy casualties. Now that Cai Wu saw that the situation was not right, he did not want to send all his troops away. here.

Xiang Qu's face was tense.

He whispered: "Then what do you think our army should do? Should we retreat to Suishui?"

Jing Tong and Cai Wu were silent.

Just like what Xiang Qu asked Jing Tong before chasing the Qin army.

"Do we have a choice?"

There is no choice.

Even if we don't consider the fact that Xiang Yue's five thousand people were annihilated by the Qin army.

It is only said that the Chu State has reached its final moment. Not to mention Xiang Yan's 400,000 troops at Chen Yingchu, even his 30,000 people have felt the food shortage recently.

The food shipped from the rear is getting less and less day by day, and the food distributed to the soldiers in the military camp is also getting less and less day by day.

Now there is still the last food and grass to feed the soldiers of Chu and fight to the death with the Qin people.

But what if you retreat?

I am afraid that when the Chu army retreats near the Suishui River, they will be informed that they are short of food. When the Qin army comes to pursue them, how will the Chu army face the enemy when they are short of food?

Without enough food to eat, the soldiers would not have the energy and morale to fight. By then, the fate of the Chu army would probably be even worse than it is now.

So the Chu army had no choice.

To retreat is to lose!

They could only gamble on the possibility of breaking through the Qin army with one blow.

This is their last chance to fight the Qin army to the death!

Even if the Qin army has a geographical advantage, at least they still have a chance to fight.

"Today we captured the fortress here, but we did not demolish the earthen wall. Our army will temporarily use the fortress to defend the Qin army to prevent the Qin people from coming to seize it again. Let our soldiers return to the camp to rest and regain their energy. After a good meal, we can push down the wall again. go ahead."

"At that time, our army will fight to the death with the Qin people!"

Xiang Qu ordered in a deep voice, his voice full of chill.

Jing Tong and Cai Wu looked at each other and knew the general's intention. Without further words, they both held their hands and said, "I follow the general's order."

Xiang Qu reined in his horse and returned to the military camp.

Before leaving, he took a deep look at the wall that was still being contested by the two armies.

"Zhao Tuo, you are very good.

"



"The Chu army has captured the barrier, but they have not leveled the wall. Instead, they have sent people to defend the wall. It seems that they have no intention of forming a formation across the wall."

The messengers reported the military information ahead to the general Zhao Tuo.

Standing on the high platform, looking at the Qin soldiers retreating from the distant barrier, Zhao Tuo looked blank.

On the other hand, Lu Wan on the side couldn't hold his breath and asked: "General, the Chu army did not take advantage of the situation to push the wall and attack, but formed a defensive position. Could it be that he was afraid after seeing through our army's plan and did not dare to attack?" Already?"

Zhao Tuo smiled and said nothing.

Zhong Lizhen on the side understood and said: "No, the general is defending accordingly. As long as Xiang Qu still has the heart to save Chu, he must attack. This is a conspiracy set up by the general. Therefore, the Chu army did this. , I’m afraid they want to wait for the soldiers to rest and then fight us in the best condition to gain a chance of victory.”

"So that's the case, then why don't our army take this opportunity to retake this barrier and fight fiercely with the Chu people to waste their energy?" Lu Wan rolled her eyes and came up with a clever idea.

Zhao Tuo laughed and said, "Ah Wan, your method is good, but it is unnecessary. After so many days, our army has a good chance of winning, not to mention I have a strategy to defeat the enemy."

"Do you still remember the cattle I asked you to transport from nearby villages and Pengcheng?"

Lu Wan was stunned.

ox?

A few days ago, when General Zhao was building a fort here, he asked him to send an order to seize nearly a hundred strong cattle from nearby villages and Pengcheng. At that time, he thought that the general was going to use the cattle to feed the soldiers, but in the past few days, there was no slaughter of cattle in the military camp, and he almost forgot about it.

Could it be that the general wants to defeat the enemy with an ox?

Just when Lu Wan was in a daze, Zhong Lizhen's eyes lit up.

He was born in the Zhongli family, but he was much more knowledgeable than Lu Wan, a countryman. Zhao Tuo's search for cattle reminded Zhongli Mei of someone.

Could it be that the general wanted to do what he did?



"Second and Third Son, I will not hide anything from you today! Now our army has reached the point of food shortage. After this feast, there is no more food for you and us to feast on. If you want to eat, there is only one way forward!"

[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved by

.

Xiang Qu nodded and turned his eyes towards the Qin army's camp in the north.

"Zhao Tuo, I'm here."



This night was compared to the fighting and fighting over the past few days. The Qin and Chu armies did not move and seemed very quiet.

Both sides are resting their soldiers, waiting for the final battle to come.

In the early morning, the dew condensed into frost, and the earth was filled with a biting chill.

But on this battlefield, there is blood stirring like fire.

The red flag was flying, and 20,000 Chu troops wearing red armor had already formed a battle formation on this narrow pass nearly ten miles wide. Everyone's face was red and they were holding the weapons in their hands tightly.

"The Qin army was arrayed about 600 steps behind the wall."

After receiving the information sent back, Xiang Qu nodded slightly.

The Qin army had already formed a formation behind the wall. This did not give him the opportunity for the Chu army to get out of the narrow road and form a formation in a wide area.

But it doesn't matter, the Qin army didn't give the Chu army a chance to form an array, so he rushed over with this long snake formation nearly ten meters wide.

At the head of the snake are a thousand soldiers he carefully selected who dared to die in battle.

Each one of them is strong, has a high fighting spirit, has blood in his chest, and is willing to fight for the survival of Chu State.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

Xiang Qu wanted to use these thousands of dead soldiers to lead the battle, like a sharp knife inserted into the Qin army's formation, defeating all the Qin people who blocked their way.

After the snake head, 20,000 soldiers formed a snake body and a snake tail. Following the dead soldiers, they rushed straight into the Qin army's battle formation and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop!

"Push back the wall and let the dead men attack!"

Xiang Qu sat on the horse, behind a thousand dead soldiers and two thousand sharp soldiers.

Looking hundreds of meters ahead, the Chu army began to level the earthen ramparts and flatten the walls, revealing the vast battlefield behind the barrier, as well as the dark Qin army's battle formation about six hundred meters behind the barrier.

The Qin army waited quietly and did not take this opportunity to make a surprise attack.

Qin Chu's fate will be decided at this moment!

Xiang Qu wins, and Chu still has a chance to survive.

Zhao Tuo was victorious, and the Chu State was destroyed, leaving no room for change.

"Attack!"

Xiang Qu raised his sword and shouted.

"Attack!"

All the Chu people roared together.

"When you are fighting Wu Ge, you are wearing rhino armor, and when your chariot is on the wrong side, you are fighting in close combat."

"The sun is blocked by clouds, and the enemy is like clouds. When friendship is broken, soldiers are fighting to be the first..."

Loud Chu songs began to be sung here. Due to the narrow terrain, the Chu army could not clear the way with military chariots, but their vanguard soldiers charged forward with indomitable vigor. Their momentum was nothing compared to the charging chariots. Not inferior.

"When the sky is full of anger, it will kill all the powerful spirits and abandon the wilderness."

"If you can't go in or out, you can't go back. The plains suddenly become too long."

Thousands of dead soldiers began to run, and 20,000 soldiers trampled forward behind them.

The dust was flying, covering the sky and the sun.

Murderous intent surges into the sky, moving forward indomitably.

This is a war destined to go down in history.

When the two armies meet, tens of thousands of people will fight. The general will be killed until the sky is dark and the gods are furious.

But for the fate of the country and the fate of their relatives and friends, even if all the soldiers of the Chu army died in the vast wilderness, they would never regret it.

With such momentum, a thousand dead soldiers shouted and roared, and launched an attack on the Qin army in front!



Zhao Tuo stood on his commanding platform.

Looking at the Chu army in the distance, they have leveled the earthen ramparts, revealing the red array of the Chu army behind them.

The red flag is flying, and the red armor is like fire.

The passionate and high-pitched song of Chu resounded in the wilderness.

"What a group of people from Jingchu."

Zhao Tuo was infected by his war song and couldn't help but praise it. But then he gave the order: "Ox!"

"ox!"

As the Qin army sent the order, the soldiers facing the Chu army in front of the battle formation immediately moved to both sides.

The soldiers at the rear drove dozens of strong cattle forward.

These

Ox, majestic and mighty.

Two sharp knives were tied to their horns, and a bundle of oil-soaked reeds was tied to their tails.

"When the sky is full of anger, it will kill all the powerful spirits and abandon the wilderness."

When the loud war song of the Chu army came, when the thousand dead soldiers rushed forward with indomitable momentum.

Qin general Zhao Tuo also waved his hand and ordered.

"Herd the cows!"

"Herd the cows!"

Qin's soldiers held burning torches and lit them at the tail of the ox soaked in oil and water in the front row.

"If you can't go in or out, you can't go back. The plains suddenly become too far."

Among the passionate and tragic war songs of the Chu people, there was the sound of angry cattle.

"Moo..."
