Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-09-17

Zhang Han retreated in embarrassment with less than 5 soldiers left. Behind them were nearly 20 pursuers from the Qi-Chu coalition forces. This time they really became the targets of pursuit.Looking at the panic-stricken generals and soldiers around him, Zhang Han only felt bitter. It was only because he was too confident that he didn't let the scouts investigate behind the Chu army after the battle with the Chu army. I didn't know that the Chu army would have tens of thousands more for no reason.A strategic miscalculation led to the inversion of the whole situation, and he changed from a hunter to a prey pursued by the enemy.

Zhang Han still remembers that when he ordered the Zhongjun to do all they could to raid the central army of the Chu army, he was full of ambition, because he thought that since the Chu army sent nearly half a man to attack his side, their center would be empty, and as long as he If the attack speed of the Chinese army is fast enough, it will surely be able to kill the Chu army before the opponent's army breaks through its own side, and cut down the opponent's commander-in-chief flag. As long as the commander-in-chief flag falls, The opponent's troops who raided their flanks were bound to be in chaos, and the Chinese army would surely win.

In the past few days, although everyone was fighting on the plain, the Chu army still put up a defensive formation. In addition, the Chu army had a large number of people, so Zhang Han had no way to deal with them.This time the Chu people actually sent nearly half of their troops to take the initiative to attack, which made Zhang Han very happy.And he has great trust in the combat power of his Chinese army. If the difference in numbers is not too large, these Chu troops will definitely not be able to stop his Chinese army's all-out blow.So when Zhang Han wants to fight, he will soon end in his own victory, and then he can swing his army straight to Surabaya, and then the whole of Chu.

But his dream was shattered as soon as he started to do it. The Chinese army's assault was strictly blocked by the Chu army before it reached the front of the Chu army's formation.The [-] Chinese army was resisted by nearly [-] Chu army. Not only could they not advance an inch, but they were also beaten back by several times the enemy. If it weren't for the fact that the Qin army was much better than the Chu army in terms of combat power and equipment. , I'm afraid they will all be wiped out.

Zhang Han saw it, and hurriedly sent another 2 horses to attack from both sides of the Chu army. In his opinion, since the Chu army had gathered 10 horses in front of him and tens of thousands of horses were attacking him, then Chu would The army should have no other troops to defend the two sides.But the result was beyond Zhang Han's expectations, and the 2 troops were completely blocked by the Chu army. At this time, Zhang Han felt that something was wrong. It seemed that the number of the Chu army was more than the hundred thousand he knew. But to the number of nearly 20.

But before he figured out the key point, the enemy army attacking from his side had already broken through his defense line and charged towards the central army. He had to retreat again and again, so that the Chu army also took advantage of the situation to attack.In an instant, the situation suddenly reversed, and the Qin army faced the enemy on three sides, with only the power to parry.

Zhang Han, who was in the Chinese army, received the battle reports from three sides, and his face became more and more ugly, while Xiang Liang, who had always had a sad face by his side, showed a happy face: "General Zhang, I didn't expect that although you have many tricks, you will end up in the end." Can't defeat my soldiers of Great Chu."

Hearing Xiang Liang's schadenfreude, Zhang Han's expression turned ugly. He came to Xiang Liang, grabbed his lapel and said, "Tell me, do you have any other reinforcements in Chu?" At that time, Zhang Han suddenly thought of the battle report he had received a few days ago, saying that the army from Qi State to aid Chu was already on the way, and he suddenly said: "It turned out to be them, and I actually forgot about this army." Said I regret it.Then he looked at the proud Xiang Liang and said, "What are you proud of? Since you are in my hands, I can use you to threaten the Chu army to suspend the attack." Then he ordered Xiang Liang to be dragged out.At this critical juncture of victory or defeat, Zhang Han no longer said anything about taking Xiang Liang for his own use. He just wanted to use Xiang Liang's life to buy himself some time.

"Listen to the Chu army on the opposite side. Your chief general Xiang Liang is here. If you don't want his head to fall, stop attacking, or collect his body for him!" A Qin soldier dragged Xiang Liang to the front of the two armies. He said it loudly on the battlefield, and fortunately his voice was loud enough to be heard by the soldiers of the two armies in the battle.

Then the attack of the Chu army slowed down a bit, and Liu Bang also appeared in front of the formation with people, asking Zhang Han to come out to talk.When Zhang Han saw this situation, of course he went out, and the generals of the two armies chatted through their respective soldiers separated by a few miles away.

"Your Patriarch, General Xiang Liang, is here. If you still want him to save his life, you should retreat ten miles!" Zhang Han's words could not be refuted at all.

"As a general, he should have had the awareness to die on the battlefield long ago. Our army can't accept your conditions, but if you can put General Xiang back in my lineup, I can promise to let your army safely withdraw from Chu. Don't stop it." Liu Bang was completely unmoved.

While the generals of the two sides were bargaining, the Qi army, which was attacking the side of the Qin army, suddenly launched an attack again, which made Zhang Han very angry.But what happened afterwards made him even more dumbfounded. Suddenly, a cold arrow was shot from the Chu army's formation and went straight to Xiang Liang.Because the Qin people never expected that the Chu army would shoot cold arrows at Xiang Liang, so when the arrow hit Xiang Liang, the Qin army around him only had time to let out a scream. In this way, the powerful general was killed by an arrow shot by an unknown Chu army in front of the two armies.

The hundreds of thousands of troops present witnessed this shocking scene with their own eyes. A general of the three armies who did not dare to execute him easily even if he was captured by the enemy was killed so easily in the battle between the two armies. In front of him, and whoever killed him is unknown, it is enough to make everyone stunned.But in fact, Xiang Liang is also a human being, his life is exactly the same as that of all the soldiers on the battlefield, he may die vigorously in battle, of course, he may also die in the hands of an unknown little character in a muddle like now.

When everyone was still in a daze, Liu Bang was the first to wake up. He pointed the long sword in his hand and said loudly: "The people of Qin killed me, General Xiang Liang. I will not avenge this revenge, and I will not be a human being! The soldiers of the three armies listened to the order. Kill me!" "If you don't take this revenge, you swear you won't do it for others! If you don't take this revenge, you swear you won't do it for others!" All the Chu soldiers shouted these eight words loudly, and then the whole army charged towards the Qin people.

As the saying goes, the mourning army must win, and with the help of the Qi army on both sides, the Chu army quickly broke through the formation of the Qin people, and the two armies fought desperately. In the end, the Qin army was at a disadvantage in numbers. make a big defeat.After losing 5 horses, Zhang Han took the rest of the Chu army away from the Chu army, and headed for Chenjun. However, the Chu-Qi coalition forces behind them did not relax their pursuit, and still followed closely behind them. back.

Zhang Han retreated all the way to the northwest with his troops, full of regrets in his heart, it can be said that he made several mistakes in this battle.From not sending scouts to pay attention to the enemy's situation at the beginning, to believing that only one Xiang Liang can make the Chu army retreat, and then to when Xiang Liang died, he was distracted by this sudden incident and was not really prepared. Mistakes led to today's big defeat.But now is not the time to regret it. Not only will he lead the soldiers back, but he will also send some elite soldiers along the road to block the advance of the Chu army. Only in this way can he ensure that his army can safely return to Chen County.So he didn't think too much about Xiang Liang's death. He thought that maybe a certain archer in the Chu army shot his arrow out because of nervousness, and it happened to hit Xiang Liang.

But is this really the case?

No, Liu Bang was inexplicably excited at this time. Not only did he defeat the Qin army who would commit crimes in the future, but he also shot the person he wanted to get rid of in front of everyone. "Old Fan, you can feel a little bit of comfort in the spirit of heaven, because one of your enemies has been killed by a trick. After I repel the Qin army, I will gain great power in Chu State. I will personally lead the troops to get rid of your other enemy, Xiang Yu." Liu Bangqi commanded the army to chase forward on horseback, but he was praying to the dead Fan Kuai in his heart.

When he heard that Qin Jun had captured Xiang Liang, Liu Bang knew that one of his wishes could be fulfilled.But unexpectedly, Qin Jun would think of using Xiang Liang to threaten himself to retreat.Liu Bang knew that Xiang Liang still had a great influence in the Chu army. If he refused to accept the opponent's conditions and still led the troops to attack, it would definitely reduce the fighting spirit of the soldiers, but if he really wanted him to retreat for Xiang Liang, don't It is said that the king of Chu can't explain himself, even if he can't pass this level.When Liu Bang was very conflicted, he suddenly thought of a strategy that could not only avenge Xiang Liang's death, but also use his death to motivate the soldiers of the Chu army, so he ordered an archer who had followed him since the beginning of the army to bury him. At the forefront of the army.When I was talking with Zhang Han in front of the formation, the archer's arrow shot at Xiang Liang who was tied in front of the Qin army.Thinking of Xiang Liang's blood-covered appearance and his unbelievable eyes when he was hit by an arrow, Liu Bang only felt that he wanted to laugh a few times to express the joy in his heart.

Because of Xiang Liang's death, the Chu army aroused poor fighting power, not only defeated the Qin army, but also followed closely to wipe out these enemies. This is another result of Liu Bang's strategy. effect.

But what Liu Bang didn't realize was that this battle was just the beginning of the chaos in Chu. With Xiang Liang's death, the whole Chu State would face a real threat. Xiang Yu, no one can guess what he will do when he knows his uncle is dead.

At the same time, there was another thing that Liu Bang didn't expect, that is, when the army was chasing the Qin army, several Xiang family children had secretly left the army and rushed to Sishui County to report.
