Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-12-31

More than 1 Chu troops were led by Xiang Yu to retreat eastward after the siege failed. They retreated for nearly fifty miles before they settled down to rest.The defeat of this battle not only caused the Chu army to lose most of its troops, but also dealt the biggest blow to their confidence. Today's Chu army no longer has the confidence to win a few days ago.Xiang Yu looked at the soldiers with drooping heads, and his heart was full of unwillingness. He had tasted failure since he was in his teens with his uncle Xiang Liang, but the failure in this period of time came too fast. There are too many, and Xiang Yu can no longer accept these failures.

Just a few months ago, he was still the overlord of Chu who had an army of more than 4 and could launch an attack on Qin. However, the wrong decision of the three-way attack made him return in defeat, and then the Qin people kept advancing.Finally, I came up with an idea of ​​Huang Zuan's victory from defeat, and fought to Qin, but now he was defeated again, and even the soldiers had lost their confidence in fighting.Xiang Yu had a plan when he attacked Qin. As long as his [-]-odd horses could capture Xianyang, the Qin army that went to Chu would be in chaos. The hatred for Qin, once they are in a mess, the Chu people can regain those lost cities.But now it is impossible, because the current Chu army can no longer capture Sanchuan City in terms of strength or fighting spirit, let alone Xianyang, which is behind it.

Xiang Yu clearly knew that their top priority now was to save the lives of the existing more than 1 Chu troops, so he did not restrain the troops from retreating after the defeat, thus allowing the Chu troops to retreat so far.However, Xiang Yu still clearly knows the bad news that the Qin people have captured Kuaiji from the Qin army captured a few days ago, which also means that the Qin army's brigade is already on the way back, so what should I do Woolen cloth?If Sanchuan can be taken down, then the Chu army still has the capital to fight the Qin army, but now it is at the end of its rope.

Suddenly Xiang Yu's eyes fell on Yingchuan, a city located in the southeast of Sanchuan. After a little thought, he gave the whole army an order to march southeast.A few days later, more than 1 Chu troops came to the city of Yingchuan.

In order to resist the attack of the Chu army, Chen Ping has ordered the defenders from all over the country to be transferred to Sanchuan City, so the current Yingchuan City is also empty, so the Chu army was able to station it smoothly.With the support of the city, the Chu army regained a little vitality. At the same time, because more than half of the troops died in the battle of Sanchuan, the food problem that was originally stretched was alleviated, which also made Xiang Yu slightly relieved. .But he knew that whether the Chu army could be preserved would depend on whether Yingchuan City could be defended until there was a problem in Qin's northern border.

Just when Xiang Yu was busy with the Chu army in Yingchuan, Meng Tian finally brought his troops to Sanchuan.When he arrived at the city and saw that there was no Chu army besieging the city, and the flag on the top of the city was still Qin, Meng Tian was very surprised, and hurried into the city to ask what happened.After listening to Chen Ping's explanation, Meng Tian admired him greatly: "Although the Prime Minister is not from the army, but judging from these few decisions and battles, you are not inferior to the famous generals in the world. Meng Tian admires you." Chen Ping dared not .

After a few polite words, Meng Tian asked the key question: "Since the Chu army was defeated by the prime minister's army, where are they now? Why didn't the prime minister pursue the victory and annihilate them?"

Chen Pingdao: "I think the most important thing now is to defend the city of Sanchuan, so that the Chu army can't attack. As for the retreating Chu army, people like General Meng will bring the victorious army of Chu to deal with it. And I didn't do anything about it. The Chu army didn't care about it at all. In that battle, the Chu army was suddenly attacked and panicked. They never noticed that we sent people to follow them. So all the actions of the Chu army are under my control. Now the Chu army Chen Bingyu Ying In Chuancheng, I don’t see any intention of them going south, so I guess the Chu people are planning to rely on Yingchuan to defend against our army’s attack.”

"It turns out that they went to Yingchuan, and I said why there were no traces of the Chu army all the way. If this is the case, then I will take people to Yingchuan and deal a fatal blow to them when they are not stable. .” Meng Tian said.

Chen Ping nodded: "This is the best. Once the general's army arrives, it will be impossible for those Chu people to continue south. At that time, we can completely solve the trouble of Chu people. But General Meng also Don’t underestimate the enemy too much, from the popular science of the captured Chu army, I learned that once a group of my Daqin troops were ambushed by the Chu army, and the entire army was wiped out.”

Meng Tian gave a wry smile when he heard this. Zhang Han fell seriously ill when he returned to the army after being ambushed and defeated by the Chu army, and he still can't get up now. That's why Meng Tian sent troops to attack as soon as he heard about the whereabouts of the Chu army. One reason is that he wants to avenge Zhang Han's sorrow.But he can't say this to others, otherwise it will become a bad word about Zhang Han, so after a few perfunctory words, Meng Tian went out of the city and returned to the army, ready to march towards Yingchuan with his troops.

When Meng Tian brought his men and horses to Yingchuan, he found that the Chu army had built the city very solidly, and the trees and stones around the city were cleared by the Chu army into the city for rolling wood and rocks. , and the city wall was built higher and stronger by the Chu people. Obviously the Chu army planned to stick to the city.But to Meng Tian's dismay, the Qin army did not bring many siege equipment, not even a few ladders.Because when the Qin army rushed back, all they could think about was how to cooperate with the defending army to fight the Chu army in the wild, and never thought about appearing on their own land to attack the city.Looking at the high city wall and the heavily guarded soldiers of the Chu army on it, Meng Tian didn't know what to do.

After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Tian ordered the army to go forward and surround Yingchuan. Under the circumstances, there is no way to pose much threat to the city, and it will even cause continuous casualties to the soldiers.Then Meng Tian sent people to Sanchuan and other cities for help, hoping that they could bring some equipment.

The Chu army in the city breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Qin people did not attack in a big way. They just hid behind the city wall to avoid the Qin people's crossbow arrows, but they did not fight back, because their arrows had been exhausted. When they were under the city, they could fight back with stone and wood.In this way, the two sides started a confrontation in Yingchuan City.

After Xiang Yu went to the city several times to see the situation, he also guessed that Qin Renfa was attacking, so he temporarily let go of his worries.Once he felt that he was safe, something that Xiang Yu had never thought about jumped out: since Kuaiji has been captured by the Qin people, has Fan Zeng escaped?And will those soldiers who are loyal to themselves be forced to surrender to the Qin people?And... Yu Ji, what about this person whom I have been deliberately avoiding all this time?Thinking of Concubine Yu, Xiang Yu couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart. With her beauty, Qin people would definitely not let her go, maybe she already... Thinking of the troubles and dangers Yu Ziyan might encounter, Xiang Yu would I can't wait to go back to Kuaiji to see what happened.

After thinking wildly for a while, Xiang Yu regained his composure and began to analyze the reasons why he had been failing all this time: "The reason why I have fallen from the offensive side to this point is that I refused to listen to Mr. Fan and Mr. Fan." Xiang His advice, if I hadn’t sent troops to attack Qin State that day, I think Chu State would not lose the initiative and be defeated by the Qin people for several cities. If I didn’t take Mr. Fan and Mr. Fan with me for a short while, Maybe Jiujiang and other places will not be lost, and the Qin people will not take down my Kuaiji so easily. Everything is just because of my arrogance. I was really wrong, I should not have listened to Mr. Fan I said it." Xiang Yu blamed himself deeply in his heart, if he was given a chance to start over now, he would definitely not make the same mistake again, but it was already too late.

The siege equipment was gradually transported from several cities, and the Qin army had already begun to organize some sporadic sieges, which made the Chu army nervous again. The defeat of Sanchuan had made the Chu army lose its previous strength Even though Xiang Yu was still leading them, their morale could not come back.

On the fifth day, five days after the siege, Qin Jun's ladder finally reached the top of Yingchuan's city.What followed was a more brutal battle for control of the city. The Chu army mustered up the last courage and fought with the Qin army to narrowly block the Qin army's offensive that day, but they didn't know whether they could still survive. Hold on for another day.

And on the sixth day, a piece of news came that changed the hearts of the Chu army-the Chinese army of the Qin army who conquered Chu finally arrived, and now he is only more than ten miles away from Yingchuan City.Once this army of more than [-] arrived, it would be impossible for Yingchuan's Chu army to hold the city.

Looking at the whole army in despair, Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Tonight, at three o'clock, our army will break out in three ways. As long as there is one man who can break out, our country of Chu will not perish!"

When Xiang Yu made this decision, Fusu led the army and slowly came to the back of Meng Tian's army. Meng Tian immediately rushed to see the emperor and reported to him the battle situation in the past few days.But at this time, no one noticed that more than 2000 people were also led by Xiangzhuang and the others to come behind Qin Jun.This team of more than [-] people didn't know what they could do in front of the more than [-] Qin army, but for the sake of Chu State and Xiang Yu, they still followed up resolutely...
