Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 246
Zhao Xie knew that he had to rely on Zhao He now, so he sighed and said: "Just follow Ru's words, and I will settle accounts with Zhao He in the future!"

"My lord is wise!" Seeing that Zhao Xie agreed, Hao Jie secretly heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his hands.

———————..—————————

Fifty miles north of Chenliu.

The Qin and Chu armies lined up for a decisive battle, with battle flags everywhere, and dust was constantly flying on the array of the two armies.Qin Jun wore black clothes and black armor, while Chu Jun wore red clothes and black armor.The armor of the Qin army is far inferior to that of the Chu army. Only a small part of the Qin army wore armor made of iron, and the rest still wore leather armor made of cooked cowhide; while the Chu army all wore fish-scale iron armor. , The officers and generals are all wearing Mingguang armor.

The equipment of the two armies also differed quite a bit, which made the soldiers in the Qin army's phalanx a little timid.After all, the Qin army suffered a lot from weapons when they fought against the Chu army.The iron weapons of the Chu army are much harder than the copper weapons of the Qin army. It can be said that one iron weapon can cut five copper weapons.

Zhang Han on the chariot watched the more than [-] well-equipped Chu troops without saying a word for a long time, and then asked the general beside him, "Who is going to fight far away to boost the morale of the army?"

"The last general is willing to go!" Dong Yi was holding his breath, and immediately drove his horse to the front of the battle.

Waving his weapon, Dong Yi shouted in front of the battle: "Dong Yi is here, who dares to fight me!"

Xiang Yu's generals saw that it was Dong Yi, the captain of the Qin Army, and they all wanted to fight.

When everyone was about to drive their horses to the front of the formation, Mei Yan shouted loudly: "Qin dog, don't be crazy! Wait for Mei Yan to kill you!"

Seeing that Mei Yan announced his name first, they had no choice but to fight with her, so they watched Mei Yan brandish his weapon to kill Dong Yi.

Dong Yi had never heard of Mei Yun's name, and thought he was vulnerable.Unexpectedly, as soon as he fought, he felt that this person's martial arts were not weaker than his own.

The two played against each other for more than ten rounds, regardless of the outcome.

In the Qin army's formation, Dong Yi and Mei Yun had fought for more than ten rounds, but they had not made any meritorious service.Li Ye's hands were a little itchy, and he drove his horse to the front of the battle, wanting to flank Mei Yun with Dong Yi.

The general of the Chu army, Qin Jun, killed another general, fearing that his friend Mei Yan would be beheaded by two Qin generals.Xue Ou shouted loudly: "Qin Gou is shameless! Come and fight your grandpa Xue Ou for three hundred rounds!"

After drinking, Xue Ou drove his horse straight to Li Ye, Li Ye changed his original intention to fight Xue Ou when he saw this.

In front of the formation of the two armies, the four generals come and fight for their lives.The four of them fought each other two by two, and each fought dozens of rounds regardless of the outcome.

Seeing that he could not improve the morale of his own side, Zhang Han ordered Ming Jin to call back his generals and at the same time ordered the chariot soldiers to charge into battle.

Xiang Yu saw the Qin army's chariot soldiers charging into the formation on the chariot, and immediately ordered his own shield soldiers to step forward to defend, and the crossbowmen aimed at the Qin army's chariot soldiers who were coming to their own formation.

Seeing that the Qin army's chariot soldiers had entered the range, the Chu army's crossbowmen released all the arrows that were already full.

Countless bows and arrows made of refined iron arrows went towards the Qin army's chariot soldiers charging into the formation. Although the Qin army's chariot soldiers all had bronze armor, they were still a bit soft compared to the arrows made of refined iron.Many people were shot by the bows and arrows of the Chu army, which caused the chariot to lose control.

The Qin army's chariot soldiers were less than thirty steps away from the Chu army's shield formation. In the blink of an eye, the Qin army's chariot soldiers were able to disrupt the Chu army's formation by relying on the advantage of the chariot.All the chariot soldiers of the Qin army who had escaped the rain of arrows whipped their horses fiercely, hoping that the speed of the chariot could be faster.

Seeing this, Zhang Han in the Qin army was about to order the whole army to attack.Unexpectedly, the situation changed drastically at this time, and almost all the chariot soldiers of the Qin army were lost on the shield formation of the Chu army.Only a small number entered the Chu army's formation, but it did not help the battle situation.

Zhang Han didn't dare to order the cavalry to charge, so he had to watch the loss of all the chariot soldiers he had trained with great difficulty.

Xiang Yu got off the chariot and changed to the Wuzhao BMW.Then he ordered the whole army to charge, and personally took the three thousand iron-blooded cavalry under his command as the vanguard of the Chu army.

Seeing Xiang Yu swinging his army to kill, Zhang Han also changed to his horse and ordered the whole army to cover up and kill him.

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Qin and Chu armies fought together.The numbers were about the same, but the Chu army had the upper hand in the battle.Although Zhang Han and a group of generals of the Qin army fought hard, they couldn't prevent their own defeat.

The Qin and Chu armies fought desperately on a large plain north of Chenliu and south of Daliang.In the end, the Qin army was defeated with more than [-] casualties. Although the Chu army won, it still injured more than [-] soldiers.

The victory of the Chu army showed the strength of the Chu State to the rest of the Kanto countries, and even more so, the strength of the Xiang clan to the people of the world.

The Zhao Palace in Handan, the Qi Palace in Linzi, the Yan Palace in Jixian County, and the Wei Palace in Daliang, the four kings all received news after the war between the Qin and Chu armies.While they were shocked by the strength of Chu State, they were even more wary of Chu State.

Qin army camp.

Zhang Han fled back to the camp with more than [-] remnant soldiers, and then closed the camp.No matter how insulting the generals sent by the Chu army to fight, the Qin army turned a deaf ear to them.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Han sighed secretly while looking at the generals in the tent.

Since the Qin army failed in the frontal battle with the Chu army and killed and injured more than [-] people, the morale of the entire barracks plummeted, and it was even heard that the Chu army's face changed.The middle and low-level officers in the army suffered heavy losses. The middle and low-level officers of the fourth floor died in the previous battle with the Chu army.In the past few days, although officers in the Qin army camp were being selected, there was no rejoicing of those selected in the past. Instead, those selected as middle and low-level officers showed bitterness.

"Everyone, since the defeat against the Chu army three days ago, the morale of the battalion has been declining day by day. It can be said that the soldiers' faces have changed after hearing about the Chu army. This general is heartbroken!" Zhang Han sighed after looking at the generals in the tent. . "I think I was so brave in the past, but now I am so helpless. Hey!"

Facing Zhang Han's sigh, Zhang Wenwu didn't know what to do and had to keep silent.

Dong Yi was also a little ashamed, after all, he was the one who insisted that if he didn't fight the Chu army, the morale of the army would be low.But he didn't expect the situation to become like this. The morale of the soldiers in the army now might as well be evacuated early!
"For the present plan, the only option is to evacuate here to preserve our strength!" Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Cheng Chun offered to propose.

"What Cheng Canjun said is true! The last general will second!" Sima Xin clapped his hands after Cheng Chun finished speaking, as if discussing with him.

"The final general seconded the proposal!" Seeing that his friend and colleague Sima Xin seconded the proposal, Dong Yi had no choice but to bow his hands.

Sima Xin and Dong Yi attached Cheng Chun's words one after another, which surprised Zhang Han.But seeing the situation he most wanted to see, Zhang Han was still a little happy in his heart.

Then, all the generals of the Qin army in the tent agreed with Cheng Chun's proposal.Seeing this, Zhang Han ordered: "In this way, the whole army will retreat to Waihuang in three days and join forces with Zhang Nan and Gongsun Nan."
