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

Chapter 282, the end of the unstoppable Xiang Yu and Tian Heng

The consumption of supporting hundreds of thousands of troops at the border fortress was extremely huge, and even the Qin Dynasty could not bear it. For this reason, they opened mountains and paved roads and created a straight road to reduce the consumption of food and grass. Although all this was cheaper for the Han Dynasty, Ji Xin's 100,000-strong army only had to transport grain and grass from the Lantian Granary to the Jiuyuan Army. They took the Qinzhi Road, and their grain consumption was three times less than that of Pingcheng.

But the Han had to follow the straight road and go thousands of miles into the desert before he could attack the Huns' royal court. In terms of grain and grass consumption, the Han Dynasty was more expensive than the Qin Dynasty, but the grain reserves of the Han Dynasty were not as good as those of the Qin Dynasty, because it had to spend grain and grass to hire people, and the consumption of logistics was several times greater than that of the Qin Dynasty.

It was extremely difficult for Zhou Zhangguang to maintain the supply of Xu Fan's 20 troops. The Han court really did not have the ability to open another battlefield.

Therefore, Zhou Zhang strictly forbade Ge Ying from expanding his army to start a war and asked him to focus on persuasion. As a result, both families were confident of winning and did not listen to Ge Ying's persuasion at all. Now Ge Ying can only watch Xiang Yu and Tian Heng fight in Qi State. .

There are many tents on the banks of the Nu River, and 20,000 Qi soldiers are stationed here. Xiang Yu plans to fight another battle of annihilation in the Nu River.

Zhong Lizhen reported on the intelligence: "Tian Heng sent out all his troops this time. He has 6 troops in his hands, and most of them are veterans who have experienced the Qi-Qin War. After more than a year of training, his combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. Compared with the Jiaodong Army, our army has received less training in the past year or so, and the gap in combat power between the two sides has narrowed. In addition, the number of enemies is three times ours, making this battle difficult to fight. "

Xiang Yu sneered: "A defeated general will always be defeated no matter how well he trains."

Fan Zeng also followed up and said: "Tian Heng has never won a battle in his life. He is not suitable to lead an army in battle. However, he has not yet realized it. This time he leads an army to fight, which is seeking his own death."

Xiang Bo worriedly said: "But after all, Tian Heng has 6 elites in his hands, which is three times more than our army."

"The whole army prepares food at the fourth watch and goes out at the fifth watch. Before sunrise, attack Tian Heng's army. I want to annihilate all Tian Heng's army in one battle. I will kill Tian Heng in this theater pavilion so that he can never jump again. "

"Follow me and attack Tian Heng's central army."

Tian Heng looked around the theater, imagining the scene of the battle between Xiang Yu and Zhang Han, but he felt an unspeakable worry in his heart. This place was Xiang Yu's blessed land, and it would not be a good thing for their Jiaodong Army.

Tian Heng's words made the generals relax. Indeed, they had three times the strength advantage. The more Xiang Yu's troops appeared, the more dispersed their troops would be.

In order to restore the Qi State, Tian Heng could only resort to force and take risks to defeat Xiang Yu and recapture the Qi State. However, he has not yet figured out how to deal with the Han Emperor's censure after recapturing the Qi State.

"promise."

Xiang Yu's army surrounded them from three sides, frightening the Jiaodong soldiers to the point where their faces turned pale and they were so nervous that they could hardly breathe.

Juting, this is a small and unknown city in Qi, but a year ago Xiang Lai led the army to annihilate Zhang Han's 5 cavalry in a battle, kicking off Qi's major counterattack, and then broke out in less than three months. Qin's rule in Qi completely collapsed.

As a result, there was a country that had completed the centralization of power and returned to a feudal country with a feudal nature. However, they were not feudal by land, but by power, and established five capitals to suppress the local areas. This was also the case during the Warring States Period for hundreds of years. The reason why China has always been a spectator.

He immediately sent messengers to contact Tian Guang.

"The last general takes orders."

Tian Heng said angrily: "Bang the drum and push me over."

"Zhongli Mei!"

Fan Zeng sneered and said: "Splitting the troops into two groups is Tian Heng's biggest flaw. Tian Guang was appointed as a vanguard general even before he was born. The Tian family only uses clan members and no foreign generals, so that a land like Qi has become a hegemon. Unable to show true strength.”

Tian Heng immediately said: "Don't panic, everyone. Xiang Yu only has an army of 20,000. The more he divides his troops, the more scattered his troops are. They will not pose a threat to our army at all. Order all troops to form formations and prepare to meet the enemy."

"Long Qie, Cao Jiu, Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Ta."

Tian Heng was shocked and said: "The whole army hastened to support Tian Guang, don't let Xiang Yu escape."

After receiving Tian Heng's order, the messenger conveyed Tian Heng's order to the army. The 40,000 Jiaodong Army quickly changed from a marching army to a combat formation.

Tian Heng's order had just been issued, and the Jiaodong soldiers ran for more than ten miles.

At the same time, he said with a solemn expression: "The whole army changes formation and prepares to meet the enemy."

So when Xiang Yu later wanted to be the king of Qi, not only did the Han Emperor agree, but even the entire Qi kingdom was willing to submit to Xiang Yu, a king who could win battles.

At the same time, the smoke on the left and right sides of Tian Heng's army was getting closer and closer to the army, and even the ground trembled slightly. The spectacular scene of thousands of horses galloping appeared in front of Tian Heng's eyes.

"The last general takes orders."

Therefore, in Qi State, most of the official positions were held by relatives of the Tian family, and the general positions were also held by relatives of the Tian family. So Sun Wu could only go to Wu to show off his talents, and Mengshi could only go to Qin.

While Tian Heng was still shocked, Hua Wushang said in panic: "Your Majesty, the enemy is coming from our right wing?"

"You lead ten thousand soldiers to contain Tian Guang's army."

Tian Heng suddenly ordered the driver to start the chariot. He galloped along the front line of the army, shouting wildly: "The revival of Qi is here to fight, you all, fight hard."

"The end will be here."

"Report, the forward general Tian Guang sent news that Xiang Yu's troops launched an attack on them, requesting the king's support.

The Jiaodong soldiers echoed in unison, "Rejuvenate Qi, kill!"

"Impossible. It has only been so long. No matter how brave Xiang Yu is, it is impossible to defeat Tian Guang's army." Tian Heng immediately denied.

"Dong dong dong" the fierce and passionate sound of war drums soared into the sky. Relieved the nervousness of Jiaodong soldiers.

Tens of thousands of Jiaodong soldiers began to form a dense formation. The first three rows of soldiers pointed their spears to the outside. The shield soldiers protected the spear soldiers, making the formation look like a turtle shell covered with spikes. The archers were concentrated at the end of the formation. The core place.

Tian Heng shouted loudly: "Drumming."

But at this moment, Tian Heng was shocked to find a burst of smoke appearing on the left wing of his army, and the sound of galloping horses could be clearly heard in the smoke.

There is an idiom in history that was used by Chu Cai and Jin Dynasty, but this idiom can also be applied to Qi State. After the Tian family usurped Qi, because of their own dishonorable methods, they were afraid that their subordinates would imitate the same methods and use these methods on themselves, so they only trusted their clan members, but the Tian family was particularly talented.

Tian Heng was surprised and said: "What's going on? Why did Xiang Yu's cavalry come to our central army? Did they break through our vanguard army so quickly?"

Xiang Yu said: "Tian Heng has not yet seen the power of cavalry to break the formation. Our army only needs to use cavalry to break the formation, and the infantry will cover up the lord and defeat Tian Heng's army. In this battle, our army is taking him by surprise and attacking him unprepared."

It's just that this situation is embarrassing for Tian Heng. It was Xiang Yu who wiped out the main force of the violent Qin in Qi, not him, the person who had been fighting against Qin. The people of Qi evaluated Tian Heng as having no merit and only a little bitterness. Lao, even complained that he was too incompetent in fighting, causing heavy losses to the young men of Qi.

"Woooo!" The sound of the horn began to overwhelm the sound of the war drums.

"The end will be here."

"Dong dong dong!" The sound of the war drum became more and more intense.

Inspired by the sound of war drums, the Jiaodong soldiers were all excited and their morale was like a rainbow.

Xiang Yu sneered in his heart when he saw the Jiaodong soldiers in strict military formations. Tian Heng had indeed failed to keep up with the times. He still thought that he could withstand the impact of the cavalry with the military formations.

Xiang Yu began to slow down the speed of his cavalry. The cavalry behind him slowly kept up with Xiang Yu's pace and formed a neat queue to prepare for the final charge of the cavalry army.

The cavalry seemed to have slowed down, but their neat formation, majestic momentum, and powerful force made the pressure on the Jiaodong soldiers even stronger. All the soldiers looked nervously at the torrent of cavalry rushing towards them.

Three hundred steps closer to Tian Heng's army, Xiang Yu suddenly led the cavalry in an arc, leading the cavalry directly towards the flank of the Jiaodong State army as a frontal attack direction.

This is the mobility advantage of cavalry over infantry. Even if Tian Heng has made the most rigorous defense, the cavalry can still bypass this solid turtle shell and attack the weak areas of the formation.

At this time, Tian Heng and his officers had no time to adjust their formation. They did not even dare to adjust their formation. The enemy was too close to them. Adjusting the army at this time would more easily cause the formation to collapse and the entire army to collapse.

Xiang Yu's cavalry rushed to the 100-step position.

"put!"

"Shhhhhh!"

Thousands of long arrows were shot at the Jiaodong soldiers. The long arrows hit the Jiaodong soldiers like heavy rain. The soldiers hit by the long arrows fell to the ground one by one, or made shrill shouts, wanting to ask for help from their comrades. Heal yourself.

But at this time, their comrades could only watch nervously as the enemy cavalry got closer and closer. Because their flanks were facing the cavalry, there were very few archers from Jiaodong Kingdom who could counterattack.

At this time, the charging soldiers put down their bows and arrows, Xiang Yu raised the halberd in his hand, and the cavalry soldiers began to charge in a wild goose formation. At this time, the soldiers following Xiang Yu raised their spears, and the soldiers behind held swords and held their swords tightly. Follow him.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was less than 50 steps, Xiang Yu roared: "Speed ​​up and charge."

The cavalry led by Xiang Yu was like an unprecedented torrent, crushing the Jiaodong soldiers with overwhelming force.

"kill"

Xiang Yu knocked an enemy away with a halberd, and then his horse knocked away two Jiaodong soldiers again. He himself charged in fiercely, with the halberd flying up and down in his hand, and blood and flesh flew everywhere wherever he went. He was unstoppable. .

Xiang Yu's men were inspired by the brave Xiang Yu, and their morale was greatly shaken. They attacked the Jiaodong soldiers like tigers descending from the mountain, cutting down every enemy in front of them.

These soldiers also imitated Xiang Yu in wielding sabers and short swords, slashing and killing at will. The Jiaodong soldiers were so frightened that they had no power to resist. These cavalrymen quickly reaped lives like the gods of death. Soon the battlefield was filled with flesh and blood, and blood flowed into rivers. Xiang Yu's troops were like an unstoppable torrent, destroying anything in front of them.

"Counterattack, counterattack, point your spear at the enemy cavalry." Tian Heng watched angrily as Xiang Yu destroyed his entire military formation with a single charge. On the carriage, he could clearly see the powerless roars of his soldiers facing the enemy cavalry and the wails before they were killed, but he was unable to change all this. He could only watch Xiang Yu kill his men. This feeling was very bad and reminded him of The scene when he was defeated by Bao Qin.

With the sacrifice of Pao Ze in front, the other Jiaodong soldiers finally turned around and used their spears to attack Xiang Yu's army. The Jiaodong soldiers' spear formation was like a hedgehog. They were confident that any cavalry that had just rushed up would be stabbed by them. die.

But at this time, Long Qie also led 5000 cavalry from the right wing to attack and hit the Jiaodong soldiers' flanks hard. Tian Heng and the others were all attracted by Xiang Yu, and actually relaxed their attention to Long Qie's troops.

Then they paid an extremely heavy price. Long Qie's cavalry was like a violent flood, directly submerging Tian Heng's soldiers. Long Qie's troops penetrated deeply into Tian Heng's military formation. They held the short swords in their hands and went crazy. They were slashing and killing on the ground, and the soldiers around them did not react. In just one charge, they destroyed a 5000-man military formation of Tian Heng's army and took away thousands of lives.

These two charges directly destroyed Tian Heng's two military formations. Tens of thousands of soldiers were defeated. Tian Heng's army was directly severely damaged and morale became low. The enemy was stronger than they imagined.

At this time, Xiang Yu led the cavalry and rushed out of Tian Heng's army. Thousands of soldiers stared at Tian Heng's army's weaknesses like wolves.

But Xiang Yu saw the flaw in Tian Heng's formation and shouted: "Turn left and fight back."

And Long Qie led the cavalry to gallop in the other direction, looking for flaws in Tian Hengjun's army.

The soldiers of Xiang Yu's army galloped quickly. The cavalry drew an arc, accelerated, and once again charged towards the flank of Tian Heng's army.

At this time, the soldiers of Tian Hengjun were nervously staring at the enemy's cavalry wandering outside the military formation. Each of them was extremely frightened. The enemy's impact was too powerful. One blow could destroy an army formation. They hid in the military formation. Nor can they protect their safety. They no longer know where to hide to be safe at this time.

Suddenly Xiang Yu's cavalry came over again. "kill"

"Boom!" Xiang Yu's cavalry destroyed a square formation with another blow. Even though Tian Heng's soldiers fought back desperately, the soldiers who lost the protection of the military formation could only be divided into small pieces by Xiang Yu and others, and then quickly annexed. Not long after, Tian Heng The morale of the soldiers of the Heng army collapsed, and the soldiers fled the battlefield in large numbers, and were later chased and killed by Xiang Yu's cavalry.

Faced with this situation, Tian Heng shouted: "Gather the whole army."

He wanted tens of thousands of troops to gather into a huge military formation and rely on numerical superiority to resist Xiang Yu's cavalry assault.

Tian Heng's tens of thousands of troops began to approach slowly, their infantry phalanx became closer and closer, and the war entered a fever pitch.

At this time, Xiang Yu had turned into a bloody man, and the halberd in his hand was dripping with blood, so much so that he had to constantly fight with the gun body, while a large number of soldiers fell around him, which even affected the movement of the war horses.

He looked at Tian Heng's army, which had grown huge, and loudly ordered: "The army will be arranged on the left and right, and fight back in turns."

Under Xiang Yu's order, his cavalry suddenly split into two and turned to the left and right respectively, away from Tian Heng's army. Then within 500 steps, the two cavalry quickly turned and one of the cavalry stopped.

Cao Jiu shouted: "Arrange them neatly!"

After hearing Cao Jiu's order, the cavalry soldiers formed a neat military formation behind him.

On the other hand, Xiang Yu shouted loudly: "Accelerate the impact!"

As Xiang Yu's soldiers continued to accelerate, they charged into Tian Heng's huge formation.

"boom!"

The outermost soldiers of Tian Heng's army were knocked away several times, and there was a gap in the formation.

But this time Xiang Yu did not continue to expand his victory, but turned his horse's head and said: "Retreat, retreat."

Thousands of cavalrymen, led by Xiang Yu, quickly escaped from the attack range of Tian Hengjun.

At this time, Cao Jiu shouted: "Kill!"

Thousands of cavalry, led by Cao Jiu, accelerated their attack and crashed hard again along the gap that Xiang Yu had just made.

"boom!"

This time, because the soldiers of Tian Hengjun had not organized their formation, more soldiers were knocked away, and the entire formation was already shaky.

"The enemy is too fierce and can't be stopped." Tian Heng's soldiers kept wailing.

Hua Wushang shouted: "We must resist, thrust the spear outwards, and the archers will fight back!"

He ordered his personal guards to quickly block the gap.

But Cao Jiu's soldiers also retreated immediately after charging.

But this time Xiang Yu attacked even more quickly. He almost calculated the time for Cao Jiu and others to retreat, and immediately led his soldiers to attack.

"Boom!" After three attacks, Xiang Yu led the cavalry to completely penetrate Tian Hengjun's outer defense line, and Xiang Yu himself even chopped off Hua Wushang's head with a halberd.

"Kill!" After entering the core of Tian Heng's army formation, Xiang Yu began to lead the cavalry to kill wantonly. Cao Jiu also led the cavalry to kill the gap, and together with Xiang Yu, they continued to kill Tian Heng's soldiers. At this time, Tian Heng's soldiers were completely in chaos. Some of them were still on the defensive perimeter, while others changed their formations to resist Xiang Yu's cavalry who had already entered their rear.

However, their actions caused Tian Heng's military formation to completely collapse. Tian Heng's orders could no longer be issued to the officers. Now they could only rely on instinct to resist Xiang Yu's army's attack.

But in this way, Tian Heng's army fell into an isolated and helpless situation, and was constantly killed by Xiang Yu's cavalry. As the killing time became longer and longer, the number of resisting soldiers from Tian Hengjun became increasingly rare.

"We can't stop it anymore, let's run for our lives!" Tian Hengjun's military morale collapsed completely. Such a solid and thick military formation could not withstand the enemy's charge. They had lost the confidence to defeat Xiang Yu. The soldiers began to fight in twos and threes. Run for your life.

"Don't run away, don't run away." Tian Heng kept stopping the soldiers from escaping, trying to save the situation, but at this time he was helpless because the soldiers didn't listen to his orders at all.

At this time Tian Jie said: "Your Majesty, run away! As long as we escape to the territory of the Han Dynasty, we will have a chance to come back. The emperor will not see that all the Qi Kingdom belongs to Xiang Yu's son. We still have a chance."

Tian Heng said dejectedly: "I have been defeated repeatedly in battles, and today I was defeated at the hands of Xiang Yu's son. How can I show my face to the people of the world? Let me die on the battlefield. In this way, the people of the world will say that I am incompetent at most, but they will not say I am a coward."

Then he explained to Tian: "Go to Tian Guang and ask him to surrender to the Han Emperor. Just say that my Tian family is willing to surrender to the Han."

Tian Heng said fiercely: "Even if my Tian family can't get it in Qi State, they will definitely not let the Xiang family get it."

Then Tian Heng pushed Tian Jie away and said angrily: "Go quickly and find Tian Guang."

Tian Jie could only salute to Tian Heng sadly, and then lead his bodyguards to leave.

On the battlefield at this time, Xiang Yu's cavalry had completely turned into a pack of killing wolves. In their eyes, the soldiers of Tian Heng's army were like cattle and sheep. The four wolf packs of Xiang Yu's army kept tearing at these cattle and sheep. Quickly kill those who dare to resist, and then continue to divide them into small pieces and annex them.

At this time, Tian Heng mounted his chariot and led his personal guards to the front line of the battlefield.

"kill!"

Tian Heng wielded his Chang Ge and directly pecked to death a cavalryman of Xiang Yu's army, while the archer soldiers beside him kept killing the enemy with bows and arrows. This archer was extremely powerful. Even on a moving carriage, he could hit the target with perfect accuracy. Each arrow can take away a soldier.

Tian Heng's bravery quickly inspired the soldiers of the army, and many soldiers followed his chariot and continued to fight back.

Tian Heng's actions quickly caught Xiang Yu's attention. He sneered: "He is still driving a chariot. Tian Heng is so stubborn. No wonder he can't defeat hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers even with the support of the entire Qi people."

In Xiang Yu's view, after equipping the three-piece cavalry suit, the impact of the cavalry can surpass that of the chariot, and the mobility of the cavalry cannot be compared to that of the chariot. It is time for antiques such as chariots to be eliminated. But Tian Heng was still riding in a chariot, and his military sensitivity was so poor. Based on this alone, Tian Heng was not a qualified general.

"Kill me!" Xiang Yu personally led a group of cavalry towards Tian Heng.

Xiang Yu's cavalry galloped rapidly, slashing left and right along the way, flesh and blood flying everywhere, and they were invincible.

And Tian Heng also saw Xiang Yu's tribe rushing towards him.

He said angrily: "Xiang Yu, my son, take your life."

Tian Heng used all his strength to peck Xiang Yu hard, but Xiang Yu twisted his halberd, and Tian Heng's long spear was knocked away by Xiang Yu's huge force. Then Xiang Yu took advantage of the situation and stabbed Tian Heng in the chest. Tian Hengdun felt as if he had been struck by a giant hammer, vomiting blood and fell off the chariot. Then Xiang Yu struck back and knocked away the archers on the carriage.

"Your Majesty!" Tian Heng's personal guards were filled with grief and anger when they saw such a scene, and then rushed towards Xiang Yu one by one, but at this time Xiang Yu's cavalry also rushed up, and they followed Xiang Yu and quickly killed all Tian Heng's personal guards.

At this time, Tian Heng was on the ground, looking at the blue sky and white clouds. His two brothers were in the sky.

Tian Heng whispered: "Eldest brother, second brother, little brother tried his best."

Tian Heng, a powerful tycoon of a generation, died on the land of Juting.

When Xiang Yu came to Tian Heng's side, he felt complicated. The hero who had been fighting in the troubled times at the end of Qin Dynasty finally fell.

Xiang Yu lamented: "I gave you the position of prime minister, but you are unwilling to do it. If you don't have any self-awareness, you are not suitable to be a general."

Then Xiang Yu chopped off Tian Heng's head with a halberd, raised it high and shouted: "Tian Heng is dead. If you don't surrender, how long will it take?"

The Jiaodong soldiers were extremely sad when they saw Tian Heng's head, but they no longer had the courage to continue fighting and dropped their weapons one by one.
