Updated: 2010-11-26

In fact, in terms of numbers, the Chu army was much larger than the Qin army who came to attack, but many Chu soldiers were awakened in their sleep, and ran out of the camp without weapons in their hands, so they naturally lost the ability to fight. , and seeing his own granary on fire again, the Chu army fell into a disadvantage for a while.However, with Xiang Yu's loud shouting and command, and the hard work of those elite soldiers who had followed Xiang Yu for many years and moved to the north and south, the situation of the Chu army finally improved. He retired because he still believed that his soldiers could turn defeat into victory.

But at this moment, as soon as the city gate of Hanoi County opened, another group of enemies rushed out and attacked the front line of the Chu army.Although there were actually less than 3000 Qin troops who came out, the Chu army could not check the number of enemies in the dark, and saw that even the enemies who had been suppressed by him rushed up, which made those who had already flinched In other words, the Chu army lost their fighting spirit.Before the Qin army in the city rushed to him, they had already scattered with a bang.

The dispersion of the former army exposed Xiang Yu's central army to the Qin army.Han Xin was overjoyed when he saw this, and without delay, he immediately ordered the whole army to kill Xiang Yu's central army.At this time, Xiang Yu and the others were facing the direction where Meng Tian and the others were coming, and were fighting with them, but unexpectedly, a Qin army would also attack from behind.

Suddenly, the hundreds of archers behind were killed by the Qin army who came up, and the Chu army realized that there were also enemies attacking from behind.While secretly hating the Chu army who were supposed to hold back the incoming enemy behind him, Xiang Yu hastily dispatched an army to stop them.

Under the battle on both sides, Xiang Yu didn't have enough troops to fight against Meng Tian's tens of thousands of tigers.In less than half an hour, more than [-] people in Xiang Yu's central army fell in a pool of blood.

At this time, Meng Tian also found that he was able to rush in so easily because the Qin army also appeared behind the Chu army. Without thinking, he knew that it must be Han Xin in the city who saw the chaos of the Chu army and came out of the city. Assisted.So he loudly ordered the soldiers to kill in the direction of the city. He wanted to unite with the Qin soldiers who came out of the city before launching a more powerful offensive against the Chu army.

In the chaos, Xiang Yu followed closely with several soldiers, they were not to protect Xiang Yu, but to protect Fan Zeng beside him.Just because Fan Zeng couldn't find a safer place than staying in front of Xiang Yu.Seeing such a chaotic situation, Fan Zeng was also very anxious. If this continues, the tens of thousands of Chu troops will suffer heavy losses even if they leave the battlefield.While following Xiang Yu closely, he was thinking about how to get out of the battle while keeping the army.

At this time, Xiang Yu also began to regret that he did not follow Fan Zeng's advice immediately, and retreated to a safe place when the Qin army just attacked, and fought the enemy after dawn.After he chopped off the head of a Qin Jun who had killed him, he asked, "Mr. Fan, what should we do now? How can we successfully escape from the battle?"

Fan Zengyi dodged a feathered arrow that came from nowhere, panting heavily: "Overlord, we are completely defeated in this situation now, so now we just want to break out of the encirclement and wait for tomorrow to regroup." The men and horses will fight again. In my opinion, the number of men and horses killed from Hanoi County must not be large. As long as we turn around and attack them, this Qin army will definitely panic. Maybe we can charge from that side go out."

Xiang Yu was completely out of his mind at this time, and after hearing Fan Zeng's words, he quickly issued an order: "The whole army will attack the Qin army behind us. Once the enemy is defeated by me, they will take advantage of the situation and attack!" All the soldiers agreed with a loud voice. First, he fought hard to kill the enemies in front of him, and then turned around and killed them all in the direction of the city.

When Han Xin led 3000 people to kill him, he suddenly saw that the central army of the Chu army, which was originally facing away from him, suddenly turned around and killed him. Only then did he know that something was wrong.Although he now seems to have the upper hand and his morale is high, Han Xin knows very well that his 3000 troops will be killed in an instant in front of the far inferior Chu army, so he hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat to the side, and at the same time, he did not die. Many crossbowmen stepped forward to stop the attack of the Chu army, although he knew that this would not stop the Chu army for long.

But to Han Xin's surprise, the Chu army saw them retreating to the side, and had no intention of chasing them up. Instead, they ran along the city wall to the other side without looking at them again.Seeing the behavior of the Chu people, Han Xin suddenly realized: "It turns out that the Chu people attack our army is home, and the real purpose is to break out." So he shouted loudly: "The Chu people are defeated, we can't let them leave so easily. Let's go, chase!" Seeing that the Chu people really wanted to leave as Han Xin said, the three thousand Qin soldiers hurriedly rushed up to chase and kill them.This time he beheaded hundreds of Chu soldiers behind him, but the other Chu soldiers had already left him and could not catch up.

At this time, Meng Tian had brought his own troops and rushed over. After seeing clearly that it was not the Chu army but the Qin army defending the city, he rushed to the Qin army and asked loudly, "Who is this army from?" Commander-in-Chief? Don’t chase after him anymore, don’t chase the poor.”

Han Xin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Is it General Meng? The last general, Han Xin,"

"Haha, it's General Han, who am I to seize such a good opportunity and deal a severe blow to the Chu soldiers. But now that the Chu troops have retreated, let's stop chasing them." Meng Tian also greeted him. Go up and laugh out loud.

"The general is right, Han Xin takes the order." Han Xin said and ordered everyone to restrain themselves.Looking at Meng Tian's side again, he found that all the horses and horses had formed formations and waited there.It turned out that when he saw the Chu army going towards the city, Meng Tian had already concluded the intention of the Chu army, and his main purpose of coming here was to help Han Xin defend Hanoi, so he didn't order the soldiers to attack again.

After all the troops were rectified, Meng Tian asked, "General Han, how is the situation in the city now? When will our army be able to enter the city?"

Han Xin showed a distressed face and said, "I'm afraid General Meng and these soldiers will have to station outside the city. Fortunately, the Chu army has left so many tents and supplies, which are enough for you, General."

"Why?" Meng Tian looked at Han Xin very strangely, not understanding why he didn't let his soldiers enter the city, and even suspected that Han Xin had done something shameful in the city.

Han Xin said to Meng Tian: "General, please take a step to speak." He jumped off his horse and walked to a secluded place.Meng Tian also jumped off his horse and followed behind him.After Meng Tian stood still, Han Xin smiled wryly and said, "It's because I don't understand etiquette. I really have a hard time. Now many people in the city are suffering from the disease, and most of the soldiers can't fight, so this time I only He brought 3000 men out to attack the Chu army with the general."

Only then did Meng Tian realize that it was out of good intentions that Han Xin did not let him lead the army into the city, so he nodded and said, "In this case, our army will be stationed outside the city, so that we can take care of the soldiers in the city. How is the situation now? There are a few doctors in Xianyang City in our army, maybe they can help you.” Meng Tian’s doubts in his heart have not been completely eliminated, so he proposed the doctors in his army. If there really was a plague in the city, those doctors would naturally be able to treat it, and if Han Xin was talking nonsense, they would see through it.

Han Xin was overjoyed when he heard the words: "This is the best. Then please let them go into the city."

In this way, the two settled down. Han Xin brought his troops back to the city, while Meng Tian entertained the army and stationed outside the city. With mutual support, they were not afraid of the Chu army coming to attack.

However, after the Chu army broke through the encirclement of the Qin army, they hurried all the way for dozens of miles before finally stopping.All the soldiers were so tired that they fell to the ground and fell asleep without thinking about lighting a fire to eat.But Xiang Yu didn't feel sleepy at all, and the anger in his heart just increased.Since he joined the army, he had never fought such a defeat. He wished that a Qin army would catch up now, so that he could kill him and reduce his anger.

Fan Zeng beside him was already too tired to move, but he still forced himself to say: "Overlord, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. This time, it's just that Qin's reinforcements came too suddenly, and it's not that our Chu army is inferior to Qin's. So After resting, Overlord will definitely bring us back to kill again."

Some generals who hadn't laid down also echoed: "What Mr. Fan said is that we were only defeated by a conspiracy. When the soldiers recover, and under the leadership of the Overlord, we will definitely be able to take down Hanoi County. Kill all these Qin soldiers to comfort the dead soldiers."

Xiang Yu looked up at the soldiers of the Chu army beside him. This time, only [-]% of the Chu army ran out with him, and the rest of the troops were either killed or captured.Although Xiang Yu has always been arrogant, but in the face of this reality, he also knows that he can't fight back this time.So after everyone finished speaking, Xiang Yu said: "I have decided that the whole army will rest here for a day, and then return to Chu. At the same time, send someone to send a message to the Longqie and Xiangzhuang armies, so that they will also go back after receiving the order." Withdrew to Chu land safely. Our army has really failed in this attack on Qin." Then he stopped looking at the surprised eyes of those generals, fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Only Fan Zeng was full of relief: "The Bawang is not too strong after all, and he also understands the truth that the situation is stronger than others. Now retreating is our best choice."
