At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 200, Zhang Han’s defeat and death and the change between enemies and friends
Based on the experience last time, the attack of armored cavalry was more violent this time. Although the Qin army was larger in number, they were defeated faster. In most of the time of burning incense, the cavalry formation of tens of thousands of people was defeated by Xiang Yu and others. A large number of Qin troops were defeated. The army's cavalry fled on the battlefield. Instead, they began to attack the Qin army's cavalry on the left and right wings. Suddenly the entire battlefield looked extremely chaotic.

"Catch up and kill the enemy!" Long Qie left part of the infantry to complete the mopping up mission, and continued to follow the armored cavalry with the other infantry. He divided and surrounded the enemies defeated by the armored cavalry to complete the mission of annihilation. An army of 5 formed a huge army. Encirclement and continuous killing of the Qin army.

At this time, Xiang Yu led the armored cavalry to kill two Qin army formations in a row. The originally white armor had now turned into a bloody appearance, full of blood and cruelty. These armored cavalry were also shocked by how powerful they were. They could actually do so. Defeating enemies that were stronger than them one after another made them extremely excited, and their physical fatigue was suppressed. At this time, they felt that their whole bodies were full of strength and became stronger than ever before.

At this time, Xiang Yu looked at Zhang Han's handsome flag, which was only a hundred steps away from him. He could even see Zhang Han himself under the handsome flag.

Finally seeing this enemy, Xiang Yu burst out with rage from his chest and shouted: "Zhang Han, take your life!"

"whole team!"

Upon hearing Xiang Yu's order, the armored cavalry quickly drove their horses and organized their formation again.

At this time, they looked at Xiang Yu like a god. They believed that under Xiang Yu's leadership, they could win and avenge their family.

"In front of us is our enemy Zhang Han. If we kill him, we can avenge our relatives. Kill!" Xiang Yu took the lead and rushed towards Zhang Han's central army.

"Kill!" 3000 armored cavalry followed Xiang Yu and rushed towards Zhang Han's troops with a loud killing sound.

At the outermost edge of the battle line, Long Qie led 5 infantry. Some of them frantically harvested the surrounded Qin soldiers, and some attacked the Qin cavalry, hoping to continue to support Xiang Yu and the others. The cavalry did not attack, and its lethality was not as good as the infantry holding spears.

Xiang Yu's soldiers pierced the bodies of Qin soldiers with their spears, the whistling of Qin's long arrows tearing through the air, the clashing of spears and spears, the roar of horses clashing, the roars of Qi soldiers, and the wails of Qin soldiers Sounds intertwined on the battlefield.

Zhang Han said calmly: "The guard battalion is holding up the enemy and preventing them from charging. As long as they cannot charge, they will be dead."

This made Zhang Han breathe a sigh of relief, and finally stopped this terrifying cavalry from moving forward. The impact disappeared, and it was the Qin army's turn to exert its numerical advantage.

Zhang Han was not only the enemy of Xiang Yu, but also the enemy of all the Qi people. Knowing that the enemy was in front of them, these cavalrymen suddenly lost their fatigue and rushed towards Zhang Han's central army angrily.

But even this was extremely difficult. The soldiers of the Qin army were also desperately protecting their commander. Even death could not make them take a step back. The interference of these soldiers made Xiang Yu completely angry.

After all, this is not a real armored heavy cavalry. The paper armor has sufficient defensive power, but lacks impact power. After three times of charging, this armored cavalry finally ran out of energy, and the battlefield fell into a stalemate.

"Hold the enemy, don't let them continue to advance!" Zhang Han roared heartbreakingly.

The Qin cavalry did not have an advantage even when facing Longqi's infantry. There were 2 white-armored soldiers among Longqi's infantry. They were not afraid of the Qin army's crossbows and long swords, when they could not even take advantage of their maneuverability. At that time, it was Long Qie's infantry who naturally took the initiative on the battlefield. These infantrymen, armed with spears more than ten feet long, killed the Qin army's cavalry and retreated steadily. Several square formations penetrated deep into the Qin army's formation.

Xiang Yu, who had penetrated deeply into the Qin army's formation, was surrounded by densely packed enemies, but he was not afraid because at this time he was less than 50 steps away from his enemy Zhang Han, and he was only a few steps away from killing his enemy.

But Zhang Han was overjoyed. Although the armored cavalry had no impact, relying on the strong defensive power of the paper armor, these armored cavalry still did not fall behind even if they faced several times the enemy's fight. At this time, they were fighting in close combat. Put away the spear, hold the short sword and peck the enemies around you.

With his personal guards blocking the attack and outflanking him on both sides, he had a ten-fold advantage in strength, enough to annihilate this armored cavalry. However, the premise of all this was to prevent this army from continuing to advance. If he could not do this, everything would stop. At this time, Zhang Han He has used up all his cards. Now it depends on whether his bodyguards can withstand the charge of Xiang Yu's armored cavalry.

At this time, the armored cavalry behind Xiang Yu also stopped attacking under the obstruction of Zhang Han's army. Their forward was crowded with the Qin army, and it was difficult to go further.

At this time, the battlefield situation was extremely complicated. Xiang Yu went deep into the Qin army's position and was only one step away from the Qin army's commander Zhang Han. There were tens of thousands of cavalry around Xiang Yu, and at the outermost edge was 5 infantry commanded by Long Qie who continuously attacked the Qin cavalry. .

"Kill!" Xiang Yu roared and waved the halberd in his hand faster. The Qin soldiers who were close to him were killed by him one after another. Facing such a fierce tiger, the Qin soldiers were timid and did not dare to get too close.

Zhang Han's personal guards were now like a dam blocking Xiang Yu's charge. Zhang Han looked nervously at the battlefield in front of him. Although his enemy was blocked, he was still advancing slowly and hard. Every time Xiang Yu took a step forward, Zhang Han was frightened. Incomparable, because it means that he is one step closer to death.

Xiang Yu's army wanted to continue to advance, but the Qin army's soldiers wanted to stop them from advancing. Soldiers from both sides sacrificed their lives to stop the other's advance.

Zhang Han was surrounded by nearly 3 cavalry, which could be said to have tightly surrounded Xiang Yu's army. However, Xiang Yu's attack was too strong and they repeatedly broke through the army formation, causing his encirclement to fail. But if this terrifying cavalry can be stopped, Zhang Han believes that he has a high chance of winning with his superior strength.

Xiang Yu's military formation of 3,000 armored cavalry has strong impact and high defense. Even though Zhang Han's Chinese cavalry resisted desperately, they could only watch the enemy penetrate deeply into their military formation step by step and rush towards them. handsome flag.

The commanders on the periphery of the Qin army wanted to stop Long Qie from continuing to penetrate deeper, because once Long Qie contacted Xiang Yu's armored cavalry, outflanking would be out of the question. Even if another phalanx of the Qin army was overwhelmed by armored cavalry, 5 Instead, the Qin army may be surrounded by Long Qie's infantry.

At this time, Zhang Han only had 5000 personal guards left. If he could not stop Xiang Yu's charge, he would be in extreme danger.

Zhang Han was surprised to find that the situation on the battlefield had not improved much at this time. If the Qin army had collapsed just now, then the current situation is that the Qin army was disintegrating. There were obviously several times more soldiers than the opponent, but the situation on the battlefield But they were suppressed and beaten by the small number of rebels.

Soon Zhang Han realized the reason. His soldiers' long swords and short swords were attacking the rebels but were blocked by the rebels' armor. However, the rebels could kill their own soldiers with one blow. In such an unequal killing, Next, the soldiers of the Qin army were killed and retreated steadily.

Xiang Yu advanced 20 steps towards Zhang Han again. At this time, only a few Qin soldiers stood in front of Xiang Yu.

Seeing Xiang Yu struggling to fight, Qi Tong shouted: "General, we are here to help you!"

These soldiers fought in front of Xiang Yu. They formed a small formation to help Xiang Yu resist the Qin soldiers in front of him. Xiang Yu took the opportunity to kill three people in a row and cut a path. Dozens of armored cavalry followed Xiang Yu.

Zhang Han's heart tightened when he saw this scene. Xiang Yu's bravery exceeded his imagination. He drew his long sword and loudly shouted to the messenger: "Block it, don't let the enemy charge."

The last 500 flag-protecting soldiers around Zhang Han rushed towards Xiang Yu and others, trying to block the gap.

But this time Xiang Yu learned his lesson and did not attack the Qin army head-on. Instead, he led armored cavalry to gallop around the perimeter, killing Qin soldiers continuously. The halberd in Xiang Yu's hand was flying, and every time he waved it, he would definitely take away 2- The 3 Qin soldiers and 500 Qin soldiers were completely defeated after Xiang Yu's several attacks.

Xiang Yu looked at Zhang Han. There were only a few messengers left around him, and there was no Qin army to defend him as the general.

"Kill!" Xiang Yu took the lead and rushed towards Zhang Han.

Zhang Han did not flinch at this time and urged his war horses to rush towards Xiang Yu. Although he knew that Xiang Yu was highly skilled in martial arts, he did not want to escape and could not escape.

"Boom!" Zhang Han was hit in the chest by Xiang Yu's halberd, and he fell off his horse. However, thanks to his powerful armor, he was not killed by Xiang Yu. However, he was also seriously injured and vomited blood.

Xiang Yu turned the horse's head, galloped, and cut off Zhang Han's head with a halberd.

On the other side, Qi Tong also cut off the flag of the Qin army commander. Xiang Yu picked up Zhang Han's head and shouted: "Zhang Han's head is here!"

After fighting for a long time, the Qin army saw Zhang Han's head and found that the handsome flag had also been chopped down.

"The coach is dead!" The morale of the Qin army suddenly collapsed, and the soldiers scattered and fled the battlefield.

Long Qie was overjoyed when he saw the collapsed Qin army: "Surround them, don't let the enemy escape!"

Long Qie took the opportunity to expand his victory and tried his best to expand the encirclement, hoping to annihilate more Qin soldiers. However, the Qin soldiers had four legs after all, and they were in plain terrain. As long as they wanted to escape, it would be difficult for Long Qie to catch up with them.

Although Xiang Yu's armored cavalry could pursue the enemy, they broke through three formations in a row. Both the soldiers and the horses were exhausted and had no strength to pursue the enemy.

Long Qie could only watch the Qin army's cavalry break out from the encirclement gap, but in the core battlefield, Long Qie's infantry had divided and surrounded the Qin army. The interlocking battle lines on the battlefield were dazzling.

These cavalry could not escape. They could only watch in despair as the encirclement became tighter and tighter. The enemy kept killing their own side. It was not that no Qin soldiers surrendered, but in the past two years, the Qin army killed hundreds of thousands of people in Qi. , indirectly killing millions of Qi people. Every Qi people had a deep hatred for them and would not accept their surrender at all.

As long as the Qin soldiers put down their weapons, they will definitely be greeted by death. Faced with this situation, the Qin army can only resist in despair.

The killing in Juting continued until the sun went down, when the last Qin soldier was killed.

Countless Qi soldiers cheered and cheered on the battlefield, and there were also countless Qi soldiers crying.

Qi Tong walked up to Xiang Yu and said, "General, can you give me Zhang Han's head?"

Xiang Yu's own confidant and favorite general threw Zhang Han's head to him and said: "Beheading Zhang Han, you also have a share of the credit."

Qi Tong held Zhang Han's head in his hand and raised it to the sky, as if to show it to his relatives in heaven: "Father, mother, Wan'er, your revenge has been avenged."

After saying this, Qitong burst into tears. He has been living in regret since he escaped from Qidi. He hated himself for why he had impulsively revolted and killed his whole family. He also hates that he is incompetent and cannot avenge his family. Now that he has Zhang Han's head, he can finally comfort his family.

Xiang Yu stood up and walked to Qi Tong, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Today's battle has just begun. Feng Jie still has 8 troops in Qi, and Meng Yi still occupies Linzi City. As long as we kill them all, we will Only revenge can be truly avenged."

Qi Tong nodded and said: "The general is right, there are two thieves Feng Jie and Meng Yi. Unless all the Qin people are driven out of Qi, our revenge will not be avenged."

Opera Pavilion, Xiang Yu's army, the Chinese army's tent.

Fan Zeng said to Xiang Yu: "In this battle, our army defeated 5 Qin troops, annihilating 4 Qin troops, and the remaining Qin troops fled in all directions, making it difficult to pursue them."

Xiang Yu said coldly: "They can't escape. Millions of Qi people will not let them go. They will eventually die on this land."

Fan Zeng continued: "In this battle, our army captured 3 war horses, 4 sets of armor, and more than various weapons."

Long Qie said happily: "Now our army can expand by tens of thousands of troops to replace the lost soldiers."

At this time, there was no shortage of young men in Qi who wanted to fight the Qin army. What they lacked was food, grass, weapons and equipment. Now that the food and grass were supplied by the King of Han, they did not have to worry, and these weapons and equipment allowed them to quickly expand their army.

Xiang Yu smiled at Xiang Bo and said, "Uncle, next time you go to see the King of Han, bring 2 sets of armor and weapons, and another 1 horses. We cannot be stingy with the King of Han's generosity."

Xiang Yu is a man who knows how to repay his kindness. When Xiang Yu was still young, he did so. He and his uncle Xiang Liang were moved to Guanzhong by Qin officials. Xiang Liang was arrested by Qin soldiers because he violated Qin's criminal law. The situation was very dangerous at that time, and Xiang Liang could be convicted of a felony at any time. Fortunately, Xiang Liang befriended Cao Jiu at that time, and Xiang Liang asked Cao Jiu to write a letter for him to the official who was trying him, Sima Xin, asking Sima Xin to let Xiang Liang go. Sima Xin had a good relationship with Cao Jiu, so he found a reason to absolve Xiang Liang of his crime.

Later, Xiang Yu became the overlord of Western Chu, and he made Cao Jiu the great Sima of Chu. He was always highly used by Xiang Yu, and Sima Xin even made him king. Xiang Yu has always treated people like this. As long as he is kind to him, he will repay it several times.

Of course, this was one of the reasons why he lost the world. He sealed Sima Xin in Guanzhong. As a result, Liu Bang easily occupied Guanzhong from Hanzhong. Later, he lost Aocang with Cao Jiu, causing Xiang Yu to lose the most important supplies. It can be said that this Mistakes were one of the most critical points in the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony.

Then Fan Zeng said: "Our army suffered more than 1 casualties, including 5000 dead and 5000 lightly and seriously wounded. Everyone in the armored cavalry was injured. The number of casualties exceeded a thousand. It can be said that our vitality has been severely damaged." .”

Although the Qin army was defeated by Xiang Yu's army in this battle, the casualties on Xiang Yu's side were not small. This is still related to the white armor, otherwise Xiang Yu's army would have suffered even more casualties.

Fan Zeng didn't care about the casualties of ordinary soldiers, but the casualties of the armored cavalry made Fan Zeng extremely heartbroken. Today he watched the armored cavalry charging into the battle unparalleled. This cavalry was even more powerful than the chariot. After all, the chariot wanted to The battlefield conditions were too harsh. Now he finally understood why the King of Han could repeatedly defeat the Qin army in field battles. With such a powerful cavalry, it was no big deal to destroy the enemy.

Xiang Bo heard this and said regretfully: "It will be difficult to use this cavalry in the upcoming battle. This is equivalent to the loss of 3 troops for our army."

Xiang Yu said: "Look for armored cavalry from the soldiers who know how to ride, and then find good horses from the captured war horses. It won't be long before the armored cavalry can regain their combat effectiveness."

After talking about this harvest, several people began to discuss the next strategic move.

Fan Zeng continued: "After wiping out Zhang Han's 5 cavalry, the Qin army is once again in a weak position in Qi. As long as there is no support from the Qin army in the Central Plains, Meng Yi and Feng Jie will undoubtedly be defeated."

Xiang Bo said: "The Han king's 30-strong coalition attacked Meng Tian's Northern Xinjiang army. They have already defeated Meng Tian and are unable to protect themselves. It is impossible for Meng Tian to come to support Meng Yi and Feng Jie."

Fan Zeng nodded and said: "Now our army faces two choices. One is to return to Linzi, wipe out Meng Yi's 1 troops, and capture Linzi City. The other is to continue eastward to Jimo and join forces with Tian Heng to annihilate the 8 Qin troops under Jimo City. "

Long Qie said: "Although they are all attacking the Qin people, our army has armored cavalry and is more powerful in the field. My subordinates believe that we should attack Feng Jie first. As long as Feng Jie's tribe is eliminated, Meng Yi's 1 soldiers will not be able to defeat them at all." Rising waves. Instead, if we attack a strong city like Linzi, even if our army has four times the advantage, the casualties will still be huge."

Instead, Xiang Bo thought more and said: "We and Tian Heng are the only anti-Qin forces in Qi. Now to attack Jimo, although it will be easier to unite with Tian Heng to annihilate Feng Jie's tribe, but without the common enemy of the Qin army, it will be our turn." We are competing with Tian Heng for Qi State, which is not a good thing for us."

"Now we go to annihilate Meng Yi's tribe. We can not only sit back and watch Feng Jie and Tian Heng fight with each other, but also suffer losses. We can also occupy Linzi, the most important capital of Qi State. It can be said that there are hundreds of benefits and no harm."

Long Qie scratched his head and was a little confused. Tian Heng was not their ally. Not long ago, they were still in a blood oath alliance, so they became enemies again so quickly?

Fan Zeng also said: "Ya Fu also suggested that you first destroy Meng Yi and occupy Linzi. If you have a chance, you can eliminate Feng Jie and Tian Heng at the same time. As long as you can completely annihilate Feng Jie's tribe in Qi, all the people in Qi will support Yu'er in what you do." The king of Qi people, and Tian Heng is Yu'er's biggest obstacle. The three Tian brothers have been fighting against Qin in Qi. Although they have been defeated repeatedly, the Tian family has hundreds of years of heritage in Qi, and the people here are more Willing to accept Tian’s rule.”
