In December 208 BC, the Chu general Xiang Yu led 50,000 Chu troops to rescue Zhao, and when he reached the south bank of the Zhanghe River, he broke the cauldron and sank the boat, took three days of food, and crossed the river to attack the Qin army, so as to show that the soldiers and soldiers would die, and none of them would return their hearts.
As a result, on the first day, the Chu army repelled more than 100,000 Qin troops on the north bank of the Zhanghe River with supreme bravery, and Zhang Handan had to retreat to the Thorn Plains, watching the 200,000 Great Wall Corps of the Qin Army surrounded by the princes under the Giant Deer City.
The next day, before dawn, the Chu army could not wait to launch an attack on the king of Julu City, and the sound of war drums and shouts of death in the sky woke up the generals of the Various Zhao Princes' Army who were sleeping, and the information they received yesterday was that the Chu army had crossed the river, and as for when the Chu army would break through the Zhang Handan defense line and come to Julu City to join them, they did not know.
They thought that Zhang Handan's hundreds of thousands of troops were looking over there, and the Chu army wanted to come to julu City with its whole body, I am afraid it would be very difficult, even if it could break through the Zhang Handan defense line, it was estimated that it would have to take off several layers of skin, before the battle situation was clear, it was better to wait and see for a while.
Anyway, they had been waiting and watching for almost three months, and it wouldn't hurt to wait and see for a few more days, the Qin army was strong, and everything had to be considered in the long run.
So they're still going to sleep, they're going to sleep, they're going to meet, they're going to be on the sidelines, they're going to be there, and they've been doing it for three months. However, this silence like stagnant water was completely broken on this day, accompanied by the sound of war drums and shouts of killing, they climbed up the barrier with a confused expression on their faces, and truly saw tens of thousands of Chu soldiers descending from the sky, like fierce tigers descending the mountain, rushing the Qin camps one after another, such a fierce warrior, they had never seen in their lives.
In the midst of this earth-shattering shouting and killing, there was a loud shout that was particularly striking, and the generals of the princely army heard the prestige, only to see a macho man of great stature rushing to the forefront of the Chu army, shouting to move the heavens and the earth, angrily rushing to fight bulls, killing gods when encountering gods, killing Buddhas when encountering Buddhas, and exaggerating so much that even the archers of the Qin army who were a hundred steps away from him were weak and did not dare to release arrows.
Someone recognized that it was Xiang Yu, the world-famous general of the Chu Kingdom.
The princes were stunned at once, and they listened to the roar of the gods that seemed to come from hell, and everyone was afraid, and they were terrified.
At this moment of stunned effort, the nine large formations of the Qin army had been destroyed by the Chu army, and the remaining defeated army had fled into the remaining three camps, and they were desperately defended.
The princes felt that it would be really faceless not to fight again, after all, they had come to fight, not to travel, so from the more than a dozen camps of the Qi, Yan, and Zhao armies, nearly 100,000 princes rushed out of the nest and rushed towards the remaining three Qin camps.
The power of the example is infinite, the princely army is originally a third-rate role, but under the inspiration of the super strong Chu army, they have also temporarily upgraded to the second-rate level, and they have fought bravely to be the first and beat the falling water dogs.
The overall situation has been decided, and the remaining Qin army is only stubbornly resisting.
The first Qin battalion was quickly destroyed, and The Qin capital Lieutenant Su Jiao was killed by random arrows in the final resistance.
The second Qin battalion was soon breached, and The Qin capital swore not to surrender, and under the siege of the princely army, he set himself on fire and set himself on fire, and the death was quite heroic.
Now, only the main camp of the Qin army was still struggling to support, Wang Li and the last thirty thousand Qin soldiers under him, far away, saw the soaring fire in the camp, and their hearts could not stop spreading everywhere, almost engulfing the universe of heaven and earth.
The invincible Imperial Great Wall Corps, forged by the blood of General Meng Tian and resisting the Xiongnu and making the Hu people dare not go south for more than ten years, was removed from the world by Xiang Yu within a day! The sadness and hopelessness in Wang Centrifugal can be imagined:
But General Meng is still there, how can my Great Wall army end up like this! Today's great chaos, the crowd of males chasing deer, the world is not blessed, Qin lost its pillar, will make the zhuzi famous also. Isn't it sad! ”
The prince's army had already rushed towards the last battle line of the Qin army, and the vertical xiang yu in the king's mouth was dumbfounded, taking the lead, like a fiery fire, burning outside the qin army camp gate.
Wang Li calmed his mind, put on his armor, came to the outside of the Yuanmen, faced Xiang Yu, and said calmly: "The person who came is the Chu general Xiang Yu." ”
Xiang Yu sat on his horse, looked at Wang Li with a wide eye, and replied contemptuously, "Yes." ”
"General Xiang is brave and brave, and Wang Li is impressed."
"After the prize, everything is still due to the ancestors of the general Wang." The heinous crimes committed by the Qin people against the Chu people, as well as the hundred-year blood debt owed by the Wang clan to the Xiang clan, it was also time to repay it. ”
Wang Li said coldly, "What General Xiang said is very true. However, although our army is defeated, there are still 30,000 people who are willing to fight hard and repay the general with death! ”
Xiang Yu looked up at the sky and laughed, "What a strong man." If it weren't for the feud with Ru Shi, I might not be able to meet Ru quickly! It is better to be a soldier, but it is a decisive victory or defeat. When I win, the Ru army surrenders without a fight; Ru Sheng, I lead the army back thirty miles, and let er wait for Qin. ”
Wang Li was overjoyed and secretly said, "Xiang Yu let the good situation not take advantage of the victorious attack, and even wanted to go head-to-head with himself, seeing the big war as a child's play, where to find such a good thing." Since I was a child, my king has been fighting with my grandfather and father on the battlefield for more than twenty years, except for the former great general Meng Tian, who has never met an enemy in his life. Fifteen years ago, the Xiang clan was the defeated general of my Wang clan, and fifteen years later, history will repeat itself! So he raised his horse and raised his gun and took Xiang Yu directly, and the two soldiers were about to applaud and shout for their respective commanders, only to hear a loud drink, and then they saw Wang Lizhi's gun flying into the sky, throwing dozens of feet away, and then looking again, Xiang Yu was already holding Wang Li in one hand and dragging him back to the home front.
Xiang Yu threw the king away from the ground, collected his gun and dismounted in the stunned eyes of everyone, and said lightly: "Tie me up!" ”
At this point, the Battle of the Giant Deer in the First Great War of Qin chu was officially over. Within two days, Zhao wei was broken and the Qin army was defeated; Zhang Handan lost tens of thousands of soldiers and retreated; Wang Lizhi's 200,000 Great Wall Corps, except for 30,000, was killed in battle. Outside the giant deer city, the corpses of the Qin army were piled up like mountains, and the blood flowed like a river, they had come to resist the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu did not resist, but they did not think that they would eventually die at the hands of the Chu people, and they would not have thought that the catastrophe of the Qin people had only just begun.
With the 30,000 remnants of Qin's army surrendered, Xiang Yu gathered his troops into the Qin camp and summoned the princes and generals to come to meet and discuss the matter of the joint army pursuing Zhang Handan.
Since the military generals of various countries enjoyed the vivid performance of Xiang Yu's great breaking of the Qin Army, their legs and stomachs had not stopped trembling. At this moment, when he heard that Xiang Yu was going to summon them, he was ashamed and worried, and his heart went up and down. The first time the daughter-in-law saw her in-laws, she was not so afraid of them.
It was also such a coincidence that this morning the generals Fang fang came to yuanmen, just in time to see the Chu army axe hand was beheading the king. But when an axe went down, a huge blood-soaked head rolled into the dust, and a man held the first rank and hung the door. At the same time, there were also the heads of Qin generals such as Su Jiao, who were also bloodied and hung on top of the Yuanmen to accompany Wang Yuan.
Such a thing as beheading the enemy is actually very common, and hanging a few heads on the gate of the barracks to demonstrate is also a military custom since ancient times. But this time, the generals of various countries were all scared like ladies, shouting in unison that their legs were all soft, and they involuntarily fell to their knees, and even climbed all the way from the gate of the gate to the door of the big tent, and prostrated themselves outside the tent, not daring to look up.
Xiang Yu was astonished, "Why are the princes like this?" "Strangely, these people are also considered to be a hero, and now they have become this bear-like."
After asking two or three times in a row, the crowd was silent, just a strong prostration.
This is precisely the servility of human nature: when encountering the weak, they are arrogant; once they encounter the strong, they bow their knees and dare not look up; Xiang Yu does not do anything to them, they automatically submit, and this kind of total submission to the strong is generally incurable.
Xiang Yu had to force them to get up, and the generals climbed up and said in unison, "General Shen Wei, rare in ancient and modern times, the last general is willing to listen to the command, the horse is the head of the horse, and jointly attack the violent Qin!" ”
"You've finally figured it out!" What are the Qin people afraid of, let Er wait for the head and tail, as long as I Xiang Yu is there, you will win the battle every day! Thinking like this, Xiang Yu did not give in, and immediately replied, "Since I have accepted the public opinion, I have done it!" The princes and princes returned to the camp to keep quiet, and when there was a war, they should report it to themselves. ”
"Thank you General!" Hearing this, the generals fell to their knees again, crawled out on their knees, and returned the same way.
Xiang Yu was dumbfounded.
Since then, Xiang Yu has leapt from a general in the Chu army to a general in the princes, commanding a total of 200,000 troops from all walks of life to cut down qin. Xiang Yu, with the divine power of the giant deer in the first battle, was already the de facto lord of the princes, and soon after, the princes of various countries began to automatically call Xiang Yu the King of Xiang, and as for the King of Chu Huai on the table, he was gradually forgotten.
A few days later, King Xie of Zhao and Zhang Er, who had survived the disaster, left the city and came to the Chu camp, where they drank wine and bowed down, hoping to welcome the Chu soldiers into the city. This 25-year-old princely general Xiang Yu is now their new master, although julu city has been besieged for several months, the people are withering, the people are not happy, but there is still good wine and good meat in the court, do not take this opportunity to quickly let the slaves perform, how can they get by in their hearts.
When you are a master, you will be a slave to everyone else, and when you have a master, you must call yourself a slave: since ancient times, the people of the country have considered this to be righteous.
Xiang Yu smiled, "King Zhao's intention is that he is handsome, but he is not allowed to enter the city, and our army will directly attack the Qin Realm after the defeat of Zhang Handan." Killing the remnants and killing the Qin clan is doing this. If people and horses enter the city, delay the time and develop a thief's posture, it will eventually be laborious. ”
King Xie of Zhao did not dare to object, and at the moment he repeatedly thanked him, and then offered military resources, and ordered Zhang Er to lead the Zhao army to follow Xiang Yu and cut down Qin together.
