Chapter 13
The night was like ink, and after only one clear day, sporadic snowflakes began to fall again.

Most of the camps of the Chu army in the north of Anyang County have been demolished, and the soldiers of the Chu army marched neatly to the south bank of the Zhangshui River, lighting torches and stretching like a giant dragon, which can't be seen at a glance.

On the south bank of Zhangshui, five figures on war horses stand facing the water.

One of them has a tiger body and bear waist, ape arms and eagle eyebrows, a golden helmet and armor, and a blood-red cloak fluttering in the wind behind his back, hunting.

This person is Xiang Yu.

Behind him are Long Qi, Ji Bu, Zhong Limei, and Huan Chu, the water bandit who followed Xiang Liang when he was in Kuaiji County.

Xiang Yu turned around and looked. Although it was freezing cold, the Chu army who crossed the river by boat in batches were high-spirited and no one was timid or cowering.

Well, this is mainly because before that, all the Chu army, no matter the officers or soldiers, had a full meal of wine and meat.

So at the moment, morale is high.

"The military spirit is available!"

Xiang Yu whispered to himself, more and more confident in crossing the Zhang River to save Zhao.

Many days ago, Yingbu led his army across the river to attack Qin, not to break the siege of Julu.

With 20 Chu troops, it is undoubtedly a dream to defeat [-] Qin troops.

The main purpose of Yingbu was to attack the corridor of the Qin army and force the main army led by Zhang Han to shrink, so that he did not dare to act rashly.

Then, the [-] Chu army on the south bank of the Zhangshui River pressed forward with the whole army, and fought to the death with Wang Li's army.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yu laughed silently.

The coalition forces of Yan, Zhao, and Qi Dynasties, like their ancestors, were afraid of Qin like a tiger. Even though they had superior forces, they did not dare to attack Qin's army and break the siege of Julu.

So in this battle, it is very possible, no, not very likely, but only the Chu army led by him launched a decisive attack on the Northern Qin Corps led by Wang Li!

The world will rise and fall, let's fight here!
At this time, Zhong Limao, who was behind Xiang Yu, stepped forward immediately, and under the light of the flickering pine torches, his expression was a little cloudy and uncertain.

Zhong Limei looked at Xiang Yu who was looking towards him, and asked in a low voice: "Don't think about it anymore?"

Long Qi also bravely said: "It's snowing again, General Fan also feels that it is not appropriate to send troops at this moment."

The second general he was talking about was Fan Zeng, because Xiang Yu had changed from a second general to a general, and Fan Zeng, who was originally the last general, naturally took a step forward.

Xiang Yu patted Wu Zai's neck under his crotch, and the latter snorted comfortably and shook his neck.

Xiang Yu smiled: "Do you think our army will lose?"

Ji Bu was silent, Huan Chu wanted to say something, but thought of Xiang Yu's usual style, so he also kept his mouth shut.

Zhong Limei didn't care much, he was full of vigor and drive, and he always had a temper with Xiang Yu, so he boldly said:

"The coalition of princes is unreliable. With our [-] Chu army alone, it is not difficult to defeat Wangli, but if the losses are too large, I am afraid that we will not be able to compete with Zhang Han's army!"

Xiang Yu nodded, with a look of appreciation in his eyes: "Yes, what you think makes sense."

He immediately changed the subject, and continued: "In terms of military strength, our army is 20, and Wang Li's army is [-]. They are far superior to mine."

"In terms of supplies, after rewarding the army this afternoon, the food reserves of the whole army will not exceed three days; however, the Qin army can continuously obtain supplies from the corridor."

As senior generals in the army, they knew that Chai Wu did not deliver the food on time, so the Chu army was short of food.

"On the bright side, as General Zhongli said, our army's rash attack will undoubtedly lead to death."

"But, put it to death and come back to life!"

Seeing that Xiang Yu was full of confidence, Zhong Limei and the others were a little puzzled, but they were reluctant to ask.

They all know that Xiang Yu is a conceited person, if he persuades him before he has made a decision, he may listen, but if he questions and refute at this moment...

Well, wait to die.

A smug smile rose from the corner of Xiang Yu's mouth. For things like the art of war, it is better to have no books than to believe in books.

He said complacently: "Although the Qin army has 20 troops, they have to divide their troops to garrison the main roads, and they must prevent the coalition forces of the northern princes from going south and encircling Julu City."

"This means that when our army crosses the river to launch an attack, what we are facing is not a Qin army of 20, but a small group of Qin troops with tens of thousands of people one after another, or five or six thousand."

He looked at Zhong Limei and the others whose eyes widened suddenly, and continued: "Our army of [-] people, the morale is like a rainbow, and after crossing the river, we will sweep the Qin army with thunder, and we will be invincible!"

"At that time, the Qin army will be in chaos, and the allied forces of the princes will inevitably go south. One day will be enough to wipe out Wang Li's 20 Qin army!"

Xiang Yu immediately turned his gaze to the north, and said coldly: "Before Zhang Han reacted, the battle under Julu City was already settled."

"Killing people is easier than killing chickens."

After finishing speaking, Xiang Yu urged Wu Zai to walk towards the ferry, and began to prepare to board the boat.

Zhong Limei and the others who were in the same place looked at each other, and their chests suddenly filled with pride.

Destroy Qin, fight here!
…………

When the sky was getting brighter, all the Chu troops had crossed the Zhangshui River and lined up on the north bank of the Zhangshui River.

Xiang Yu rode on a tall black-tailed horse, his armor shining toward the sun, like a god descending to earth.

Pairs of excited eyes stared at the man riding slowly in front of them, and everyone had a word in their hearts.

Great, General!

Jingle Jingle!

This is the sound of the cauldrons carried by the army being smashed.

Boom!

This is the sound of ships being smashed at the ferry.

The order to break the boat had been communicated as early as the beginning of crossing the river.

Although there was some panic among the Chu army, it was just human instinct.

At this moment, seeing that the general in the army has made up his mind and the flames soared into the sky, everyone's hearts are full of great pride.

Thus, a thunderous sound overwhelmed the sound of a broken boat, overwhelmed the whistling of white grass in the north wind.

"The Immortal Tyranny will never be returned!"

At this moment, the 800-year-old soul of Chu is with them.

Xiang Yu pulled the reins, and the black horse man stood up, and he suddenly drew out the long sword with a gap in his waist.

This is the long sword that Xiang Yan used in the past!
This is the long sword that Xiang Liang used back then!
This is the long sword they used to kill themselves when they overthrew the army and killed the general!
Today, Xiang Yu will use this sword to wash away the shame of his family and the country of Chu!

Today, Xiang Yu will use this sword to win victory for himself and bring death to the enemy!

"set off!"

Xiang Yu shouted loudly, and left immediately.

Behind him, the song of Chu is loud and clear, and the people of Chu are vying to be the first!
…………

Under Julu City, the Qin army was in command.

Wang Li ran around like ants on a hot pot.

Since the morning, successive battle reports have come.

Last night when the Chu army crossed the Zhang River, a hundred thousand troops were invincible and unstoppable.

Wang Li regretted that he didn't do it in the first place. He knew that he would break through Julu City first, kill King Zhao, and then wipe out the rebels one by one.

"Gather and annihilate them, I pooh!"

"Zhang Han misunderstood me!"
