After the Battle of Lantian, Han Xin took advantage of the great victory to recapture Wuguan and ensure the safety of the land in Guanzhong. After receiving Cheng Qi's instructions, he joined the follow-up troops and began to push back the land captured by Long Qie. .
Han Xing's troops, the more the better. After several years of development, the number of troops stationed in Baiyue by the King of Han has reached more than 600,000. After taking over the troops stationed in Guanzhong from Qin, the number has reached nearly 700,000.
In order to once and for all, Cheng Qi transferred a large number of troops to Hanzhong early in the morning. Hu Hai died, Zhao Gao was executed, and the situation in the court was stable. After Han Xin regained Wuguan, the follow-up troops were transported to the front line. In the public loser's overbearing organization, which is good at attacking cities and conquering territory. With the blessing of martial arts, in less than two months, South Korea was destroyed again, and King Xin of Han was killed.
At this time, Han Xin's army had reached more than 400,000. At the same time, after Zhang Han received the report from Zhong Limei and learned that the situation in the court had changed and that he had been changed to be in charge, he immediately sent Chief Shi Simaxin to ask for instructions on what should be done next.
When Sima Xin arrived in Xianyang, Cheng Qi met him in person to show his concern. After comforting him, he told him to go back and convey to Zhang Han that he must hold Xiang Yu back for a while. Han Xin was about to lead his army across the Yellow River, and he would be with him in less than a month. Attack the coalition of princes led by Xiang Yu.
After seeing off Sima Xin and ensuring the safety of Zhang Han's army's food and fodder, he personally led an army of 100,000 people out of the pass and attacked Xiang Yu's hometown, the seat of Emperor Yi. Xuyi, which was already empty, wanted to cut off Xiang Yu and the other princes' retreat in one fell swoop. .
After Zhang Han received Sima Xin's report and food supply, he immediately understood the intention of the King of Han and decided to continue to hold on and wait for Han Xin's arrival, using absolute force to annihilate the most powerful force in the anti-Qin alliance.
After Xiang Yu learned the news about Long Qie's defeat and death, he immediately realized that Cheng Qi, who had previously been judged by everyone to be the king of Baiyue and Shu, had taken action. The news that Korea was destroyed, the news that Han Xin led an army of 400,000 to attack directly.
Xiang Yu's consciousness changed and he wanted to break camp and leave, but he was immediately noticed by the keen Zhang Han. He changed his style that he had not adhered to in the past, and together with Wang Li commanded the already trained Golden Fire Cavalry, biting Xiang Yu to death. The troops were prevented from retreating safely.
But unexpectedly, Xiang Yu's warrior broke his wrist and asked Ji Bu to lead 100,000 Chu troops and the allied forces of the princes, a total of more than 200,000 troops to hold Zhang Han off. He led 200,000 Chu troops directly to Han Xin's 400,000 troops.
Xiang Yu planned to attack while Han Xin's army had not completely crossed the Yellow River, and use its local superiority to divide and destroy them.
After that, they would turn around with absolute force to annihilate Zhang Han, who had lost support, and completely collapse the Qin State's combat power. No matter how high Chengyu's martial arts was, he would not be able to recover the loss of the two main legions.
Everything was as Xiang Yu expected. Han Xin's army should be too large, and the ships along the Yellow River were collected and destroyed by Xiang Yu in the previous Battle of Julu. Although he had the full support of the public losers, it still took several days to defeat them. Only then could more than 100,000 soldiers be transported across the river.
At this time, Xiang Yu came with 200,000 Chu troops, and met him with 50,000 vanguard troops led by Han Xin himself.
After Han Xin discovered the Chu army, he violated common sense and ordered his soldiers to use the banner of being the commander of the Qin army to attract Xiang Yu to attack.
Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Xiang Yu had no time to think about it and immediately led his entire army to attack, hoping to defeat the Qin army of Han Xin's 50,000 men.
The two armies clashed with each other and fought for a while. Han Xin led his troops to retreat eastward along the Yellow River. Xiang Yu did not want the fat in his mouth to escape, so he directly led the troops to retreat and pursue them along the way.
But both sides chased each other and fled. When they reached less than 20 kilometers, they saw the troops arranged by Han Xin in advance.
Xiang Yu knew that he had fallen into a trap, but after all, Xiang Yu, who had the advantage in the battle situation, ordered a strong attack.
But what was unexpected was that the Qin army's fighting will was extraordinary, and it actually blocked the offensive of the Chu army led by Xiang Yu despite its inferior strength.
Only then did Xiang Yu realize that Han Xin had copied his desperate strategy not long ago. 7`8 7`8
It turned out that Han Xin had long expected that Xiang Yu would send his army south and annihilate his own army before his entire army could cross the Yellow River.
As early as the first day of crossing the river, he ordered most of his troops to be stationed downstream, forming an array with their backs to the water, while he led a small number of troops to attract.
As the saying goes, "If a soldier is deeply trapped, he will not be afraid; if he has nowhere to go, he will be strong; if he goes deep, he will be restrained; and if he has no choice but to fight," the soldiers of the Qin army saw that there was a strong enemy in front of them and a water barrier behind them, with no way to retreat, so everyone fought to the death. Everyone fought hard, and the fierce offensive of the Chu army was suppressed.
Xiang Yu himself knew that the enemy was in great momentum and it was not appropriate to attack again, so he had to lead his troops back to the camp. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the camp, he saw the flags of the Qin army standing in the camp, fluttering in the wind, looking very majestic.
This was Han Xin's backup plan. Before Xiang Yu's army pressed forward to pursue Han Xin's retreating troops, Han Xin had already hidden two thousand Qingqi in the woods.
After Xiang Yu gave chase, two thousand Qingqi took advantage of the empty and unprepared Chu army's camp. They suddenly attacked and captured the Chu camp.
The lair had changed hands, and before Xiang Yu could slow down, he heard Han Xin leading an army from behind, so he had to turn around and fight.
Although the Chu army was exhausted after running around for days, experiencing several battles, and falling prey to repeated traps, under the leadership of Xiang Yu, its morale still showed no signs of weakening.
He quickly repelled Han Xin's attack and even counterattacked. Xiang Yu even led his cavalry to charge into the formation himself and capture Han Xin directly.
Thanks to the accompanying protection of Jingyu and Tian Ci, Han Xin was not killed by Xiang Yu. Later, the follow-up troops of the Qin army crossed the Yellow River and came to support, allowing the Qin army to stabilize its position.
The camp was recaptured under the desperate attack of Yingbu and Yu Ziqi, allowing the Chu army to gain training.
When both sides returned to their camps and counted their casualties, it was found that the Chu army had 200,000 people participating in the battle, about 30,000 were killed, and more than 20,000 were injured and lost combat effectiveness. As for the Qin army, more than 30,000 people died in the battle, and more than 10,000 were injured and lost combat effectiveness.
Naturally, Han Xin would not be satisfied with such a result. After all, the opponent had traveled a long distance to attack and fell into the trap, but he could still cause so much damage to the Qin army.
And Xiang Yu was also dissatisfied, because since he raised his army, the Chu army had never suffered such great damage except for the time when Xiang Liang died. Since Xiang Yu took charge of the army, the Chu army did not win with more than less.
What's more, if Han Xin's troops cannot be annihilated quickly and Zhang Han rushes to rendezvous after defeating Ji Bu's troops, the Chu army will face enemies several times their own.
On the next day, knowing that the situation could not be delayed, Xiang Yu led a group of generals to storm Han Xin's camp.
Although troops were constantly crossing the river to replenish their troops, Han Xin's troops were still struggling to hold on under the fierce attack of the Chu army.
Han Xin understood that now had reached the most critical moment, and time was already on his side. Don't look at Xiang Yu's desperate efforts now.
The longer the delay is, the more troops will arrive and the less likely it will be for the Chu army to break through the camp. As long as Zhang Han comes to join them, they will be able to eliminate Qin's most serious troubles in one fell swoop.
Xiang Yu naturally understood this truth, so the gap between attacks became shorter and shorter, and the Qin and Chu armies launched a fierce tug-of-war on the land of Hebei.
