General Qin

"Behind the barrier is the camp of the Qin Army. Has the Qin Army already lined up for battle?"

There was a cold light in Xiang Qu's eyes.

As the chief general of the first army, although he has a violent personality, he also has enough military accomplishment to know the importance of investigating the enemy's situation.

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

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

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

Xiang Qu was both happy and worried.

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

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

But greater than joy is worry.

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

On the other hand, the Chu army attacked the base here for several days in a row. The blunt soldiers were frustrated and their morale was exhausted. The situation was very unfavorable for him.

"General, this is a trap. In the past few days, our army has broken through six barriers of the Qin army, and thousands of soldiers have been killed or injured. Compared with the Qin army, our strength is no longer superior, and the enemy is waiting in formation. If our army breaks down the barrier, I'm afraid it will be counterattacked by the Qin army!" Jing Tong persuaded.

This situation has been completely clarified. The Qin army is going to use seven consecutive barriers to exhaust the energy and morale of the Chu people, increase the casualties of the Chu army, and finally break through from the front with the elite soldiers who are waiting for work.

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

Cai Wu also cried out. When attacking the front wall, 5,000 people under his command were sent to attack a wall. The casualties were not light. Now that Cai Wu saw that the situation was not right, he didn't 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? Return to Suishui?"

Jing Tong and Cai Wu were silent.

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

"Do we have a choice?"

There is no choice.

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

It is only said that the current state of Chu has reached its final juncture, not to mention Xiang Yan's 400,000 troops in Chen Ying's place, even his 30,000 people have felt the shortage of food recently.

The food brought from the rear is getting less and less day by day, and the food distributed to soldiers in the barracks is also getting less and less day by day.

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

But what if you retreat?

I am afraid that when the Chu army retreats near Sui River, they will be told that they are short of food. When the Qin army comes after them, how should the Chu army face the enemy when they are short of food and food?

If they don't have enough to eat, the soldiers don't have the energy and morale to fight. At that time, the end of the Chu army may be even worse than it is now.

So Chu Jun had no choice.

Retreat is defeat!

They can only gamble, to 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.

"Today we captured the fortress here, but did not level the earthen wall. Our army temporarily used the fortress to defend against the Qin army to prevent the Qin people from taking it again. Let our soldiers return to the camp to rest and recover their energy. After a good meal, they will push 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, knowing the general's intentions, and without further words, they both cupped their hands and said, "Follow the general's order."

Xiang Qu reined in his horse and turned back to the barracks.

Before leaving, he took a deep look at the wall that was still in contention between the two armies.

"Zhao Tuo, you are fine."

...

"The Chu army has captured the barrier, but they have not flattened the wall. Instead, they have sent people to defend against the wall. It seems that they have no intention of setting up an array over the wall."

The messenger sent back the military information ahead to the general Zhao Tuo.

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

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

Zhao Tuo smiled without saying a word.

Zhong Limei, who was on the side, understood, and said, "No, the general is defending according to this. As long as Xiang Qu still has the heart to save Chu, he must attack. This is the general's conspiracy. Therefore, the Chu army's move , I am afraid that I want to wait for the soldiers to rest and fight us in the best condition to gain a chance of victory."

"So that's the case, so why don't our army take advantage of this opportunity to send people to recapture this barrier, and fight fiercely with the Chu people, exhausting their energy?" Lu Wan rolled her eyes and thought of a trick.

Zhao Tuo laughed, and said, "Ah Wan, your method is good, but it's unnecessary. After spending so many days, our army's chances of winning are enough, let alone I have a plan to defeat the enemy."

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

Lu Wan was taken aback.

ox?

A few days ago, when General Zhao was building a camp here, he sent an order to search for nearly a hundred strong cattle from nearby villages and Pengcheng. At that time, he thought that the general was going to feed the soldiers with cattle, but in the past few days, there was no slaughter of cattle in the barracks, and he almost forgot about it.

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

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

He was born in the Zhongli family, and he is much more knowledgeable than Lu Wan, a countryman. Zhao Tuo's act of searching for cattle made Zhongli think of someone.

Could it be that the general wants to follow his example?

...

"Second and third sons, I will not hide it from you today! Now our army has reached the point where we are short of food. After this full meal, there is no more food for you to feast on. If you want to eat, you have to go forward!"

Xiang Qu stood in Chu's camp, shouting loudly.

"The seven fortresses of the Qin army have been breached by our army. Behind that earthen wall is the Qin army formation! As long as all the troops serve their orders and fight bravely to the death, we can defeat the Qin army and eat the food in the Qin army. The meat of the Qin army!"

"On the other hand, if the second and third sons are unwilling to fight to the death. If the battle is defeated, not only will the army have nothing to eat, but the Qin people will even take advantage of the victory to chase after you, beheading you and others in exchange for military merit, and the relatives of you and others will consider them slaves and concubines to occupy our Chu country. land, enslave the people of our Chu land, and destroy our 800-year-old state of Chu!"

"This end, do you wish?"

As Xiang Qu's voice fell, the people who had already arranged in secret shouted immediately.

"We don't want to! The Qin people want to behead us, enslave our relatives, and destroy our country of Chu. An Neng is willing to hate such a deep hatred. Rather than die, we must also defeat the Qin army!"

All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, but driven by Xiang Qu's high voice and those "passionate men", the blood in their bodies was also stimulated one by one.

We have no food to eat, only those who defeated Qin can eat.

And those vicious Qin people want to behead my head, enslave my relatives, occupy my land, and destroy my country.

If you don't fight to the death, An Neng will be called a real man!

Under such circumstances, the more than 20,000 remaining soldiers in the Chu army camp became enthusiastic one by one, and their morale, which had been decadent in the past few days, rose sharply, and their fighting spirit was very high.

"The general's move to encourage the army is very clever. This time, the soldiers are in a desperate situation. They all use their lives and fight to the death. This is for the mourning army."

"It has been said since ancient times that the mourning army will win, and our army will definitely defeat the Qin army this time!"

Seeing that the Chu army was full of fighting spirit, Jing Tong also had a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Xiang Qu nodded, and turned his gaze to the direction of the Qin army camp in the north.

"Zhao Tuo, I'm here."

...

This night was compared to the days of attacking bases and fighting. The Qin and Chu armies did not move, appearing 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 a fiery passion stirring.

The red flag was fluttering, and 20,000 Chu troops in red armor had already formed a battle formation on this defile nearly ten miles wide. Everyone's face was flushed, and they held their weapons tightly.

"The Qin army lined up about 600 paces behind the wall."

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

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

But it doesn't matter, if the Qin army doesn't give the Chu army a chance to line up, then he will rush over with this long snake formation nearly ten meters wide.

At the snake's head, there are a thousand warriors who dare to die carefully selected by him.

All of them are strong and strong, with a high fighting spirit and blood in their chests, and are willing to fight for the survival of Chu.

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

Xiang Qu will use these thousand dead soldiers to lead the battle, inserting into the Qin army's formation like a sharp knife, and defeating all Qin people who stand in his way.

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

"Push down the wall, and the dead will attack!"

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

Looking hundreds of meters ahead, the Chu army began to level the earth barrier and the wall, revealing the vast battlefield behind the barrier, and the Qin army's battle formation about 600 meters behind the barrier.

Qin Jun 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, Chu State still has a chance to survive.

Zhao Tuosheng, the death of Chu State, there is no room for reversal.

"Attack!"

Xiang Qu raised his sword and shouted.

"Attack!"

All the Chu people shouted together.

"Fuck Wu Ge, wear rhinoceros armor, and pick up short soldiers when the car is wrong."

"The sky is covered by the sun, the enemy is like a cloud, and the arrows are falling, and the soldiers are fighting for the first..."

The loud and clear song of Chu began to be sung here. Due to the narrow terrain, the Chu army could not use military chariots to clear the way, but their vanguard soldiers charged forward with indomitable vigor, which was nothing compared to the chariots charging into the battle. Not inferior.

"The weather is fierce and the spirit is angry, and the wilderness is abandoned."

"You can't go in and out, you can't go back, you can't go in and out, and the road is too long in the plain."

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

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

The murderous aura soared to the sky, and he was indomitable.

This is a war destined to go down in history.

When the two armies met, tens of thousands of people fought, and the generals would be killed until the sky was dim and the earth was dark, and the gods were furious.

But for the fate of the country, for the fate of their relatives and friends, even if the whole army of Chu people sacrificed their lives in the vast wilderness, they will never regret it.

With such momentum, a thousand dead soldiers shouted, roared, and launched an impact on the Qin army ahead!

...

Zhao Tuo stood on his commanding platform.

Looking at the Chu army in the distance, they have leveled the earth barrier, revealing the crimson Chu army array behind it.

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

The passionate and high-pitched song of Chu resounded across the field.

"What a group of people from Jingchu."

Zhao Tuo was infected by his battle song, and couldn't help but praise it. But immediately after, he issued an order: "Bull!"

"ox!"

Following the Qin army's order, the soldiers facing the Chu army immediately moved aside in front of the battle formation.

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

These cattle are majestic and mighty.

There are two sharp knives tied to their horns, and a bundle of oil-soaked reeds tied to their tails.

"The weather is fierce and the spirit is angry, and the wilderness is abandoned."

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

Qin general Zhao Tuo also waved his hands and gave orders.

"Cow herding!"

"Cow herding!"

The soldiers of the Qin army held up burning torches and pointed at the oxtails soaked in oil and water in the front row.

"You can't go in and out, you can't go back, you can't go in and out, and the road is too long in the plain."

In the passionate and tragic battle songs of the Chu people, the sound of angry cows resounded.

"Moo..."
