Competing

Chapter 147
PS: I forgot to explain in the previous chapter that in history, Lu Chen did not die early in the battle, but later defected to Liu Bang, and was granted the title of Marquis after the founding of the Han Dynasty.Now because of Yin Xu, let him hang up early!Everyone continues to support Kazakhstan, thank you for the three questions!
It's been a whole day since we arrived at the north of Julu City and met Chen Yu, but Lu Chen still hasn't come back.An ominous premonition filled Yin Xu's heart, as if a boulder had weighed on it, and it was extraordinarily heavy.

At noon on the second day, news finally came that [-] Chu troops had successfully attacked the corridor and were wiped out by General Zhang Han himself.

Yin Xu's heart skipped a beat, that is to say, his trick was still seen through by Zhang Han.Julu City sent Dong Yi and Sima Xin to surround him, and he himself led an army to chase and kill Lu Chen in the corridor.

But there are several doubts. Lu Chen had almost completed the task of destroying the corridor before being chased and wiped out by Zhang Han.If you look at it this way, Zhang Han didn't notice it in advance, but rushed over after learning the news.There is another one, Dong Yi and Sima Xin have almost achieved success in besieging him, why did they suddenly withdraw their troops?

Yin Xu was at a loss for a while.

After a tragic incident, Yin Xu became a beneficiary invisibly.Before leaving, Lu Chen handed over his [-] old troops to Yin Xu. These people were all loyal and loyal to Yin Xu, and they were all masters who accepted death.

Now that Lu Chen is dead, these people have kept his orders in mind and obeyed Yin Xu.This is also an epoch-making event. Since then, Yin Xu has finally seen his own army. Even if there are only more than 6000 people, it is still a good start.

Standing on the open space outside the tent, Yin Xu didn't know whether he was happy or worried?

Footsteps sounded, and a swarthy man in his 40s and [-]s came over.He is not very tall, but he looks very strong, Kong Wu is powerful, and his eyes are shining with brilliance. It is Chen Yu, the general of Zhao Guo.

Chen Yu, a well-known scholar in the state of Wei, has little ambition.After Chen Sheng's uprising, he and his close friend Zhang Er went to meet Chen Sheng and suggested that they should use surprise troops to conquer Zhao's territory.

Chen Wang adopted their opinions, sent Wu Chen as the general, took him and Zhang Er as the school lieutenant, and led three thousand troops to Luedi.The military officials followed the strategy of Kuai Che, a famous scholar, and won more than [-] cities without fighting.When he arrived in Handan, he supported Wuchen as the king of Zhao, Chen Yuzi as the general, and Zhang Er as the prime minister of the right.

The military minister was later killed by his subordinate Li Liang, Chen Yu defeated Li Liang, Li Liang defected to Qin general Zhang Han, and led Zhang Han to attack Handan.Zhang Er and the newly established Zhao Wangxie retreated to Julu City and were besieged by the Qin army. Chen Yu collected more than [-] remnants from Changshan and stationed troops in the north of Julu City as a response.

"General Yin, General Lu Chen's matter, let's mourn and let it change! During the war, it is not appropriate to be too sad." Chen Yu comforted softly.

Yin Xu nodded and sighed softly: "For those who came to the province from the east, General Lu's troops were killed in battle, but they also destroyed the Qin army's food roads, which can be regarded as a great contribution."

Chen Yu took the opportunity to ask: "So, should General Xiang Yu also send troops?" Hearing what Yin Xu said yesterday, as long as the attack on the grain road is successful, Xiang Yu will send troops, which is what he wished for.

Chen Yu has more than 1 horses under his command and has been stationed in the north of Julu City. Zhao Wangxie and Zhang Er sent messages many times to let him enter the city to defend.However, he thought that there was a lack of food and grass in the city, so he didn't want to enter the city, and there was a stalemate because of this.

If Xiang Yu can come sooner and relieve Ju Lu from the critical situation, everything will be solved easily.However, this was just his wishful thinking. He didn't know that it was precisely because of this reluctance that he turned against his former best friend and friend.

Asked about Xiang Yu, Yin Xu was also a little apprehensive. He looked towards the eastern horizon and murmured in his heart: "Xiang Yu, have you ever lost your boat?"

On the edge of the Zhang River in the east, Xiang Yu arrived half a day ago with the remaining [-] troops.The day before yesterday when he captured Calabash Valley, Yin Xu sent envoys to inform Xiang Yu of the battle situation and his plan.

As soon as Yin Xu got the news of the success of the attack on the tunnel last night, he sent people to divide into ten groups and travel lightly through the Qin army's pincer-shaped encirclement to deliver the letter.From the perspective of probability, even if there are accidents on a few roads, or they are discovered by Qin Jun, there will always be one or two who will successfully meet Xiang Yu.

In Zhangshuibian's military camp, Xiang Yu read Yin Xu's military newspaper, and his expression fluctuated slightly.Passing General Xiangzhuang's report to Fan Zeng, he said, "General Yin reported that the tunnel was successfully attacked. Wang Li may be short of food, so we can dispatch. But..."

Xiang Yu paused for a moment, and then said: "However, General Lu Chen and the three thousand soldiers under him...unfortunately all died."

ah?Hearing this news, everyone couldn't help feeling heavy. After Xiang Liang, Lu Chen became the second senior general to die in battle.

Fan Zeng looked at the military newspaper on the bamboo slips and remained silent.Chen Ping heard it in his ears and thought a lot.

Yingbo asked, "Where is Donglai? Is he okay?"

Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Donglai led his troops to break out from the tens of thousands of Qin troops, and they have already circled to the north of Julu City, and joined Zhao General Chen Yu's troops."

Hearing that Yin Xu was fine, everyone was relieved.The only exception was Fan Zeng, his far-reaching eyes could not help but cast a layer of worry.

Xiang Yu was silent for a while, and said: "Okay, it's time for us to do it. Yafu and Mr. Chen Ping will stay on the east bank and wait! Others will follow me through the battle. Specifically... After crossing the river, we..."

All the generals were shocked when they heard this, and their faces turned pale with fright!

On that day, a large number of ships gathered on the banks of the Zhang River, and [-] Chu troops crossed the Zhang River.After setting foot on the land on the west bank of the Zhang River, he received a shocking order.

Sink all ships, break all cauldrons, the whole army only takes three days of dry food, and vows to fight to the death.

The officers and soldiers of the three armies were shocked, and asked one after another: "The ship has been scuttled, how can we return to Hedong?"

"How can we cook if the cauldron is broken?" The soldiers kept asking without knowing it.

When a young soldier heard this terrifying order, he couldn't help but stop and ponder: "Xiang Yu is not a reckless person, why did he do this?"

His eyes couldn't help but fell on the battle of the surging Zhangshui. The big river was behind him, and without the boats, there was no way out.If you break the pot and cookware, you will not be able to cook, and you will starve to death!
No retreat?starve?

The young soldier murmured a few words in aftertaste, and suddenly he understood, and his eyes lit up.He shouted: "Don't hesitate, follow orders quickly, only in this way can we win! Quick!" On the bank of the Zhang River, a halberd man ran back and forth, shouting the same sentence over and over again.

Today's situation is firmly in his mind. Many years later, on the land of Hebei, he reproduced the same wonderful scene.The two allusions are famous in history and will be recited by later generations.

Xiang Yu and the generals also gave passionate speeches in the army and mobilized before the war.The soldiers all understood, and were inspired by Xiang Yu's great courage and determination, and were encouraged like never before.They all know that there is no retreat, only three days of dry food, and only by fighting with all their strength and winning this battle can they gain life.

For a moment, the Chu army's momentum was overwhelming, and their morale rose to the extreme.

Looking at the fiery scene, Xiang Yu couldn't help but think of what Yin Xu said to him the day before he left.

"Brother Yu, what are you going to do in the fight against Wang Li?"

"This battle is difficult, and the soldiers of the three armies must regard death as home, so that they can fight like a tiger and have the possibility of victory."

"Then what exactly are you going to do?"

"Break the cauldron, pack lightly, carry three days of dry food, and fight hard!"

"It's not just that, it's all about breaking the boat, breaking the back road, and arousing the ambition. As death as home, this battle must be won!"

Recommend a book:

The sage war doctor, the doomsday war doctor was reborn on the body of a coward. In order to perfectly integrate the reborn soul with this frail body, Liu Chenyang could only choose to walk the road of being a strong man.

The road to the strong is lonely, but if there are more quiet and elegant girls next door, elegant and sexy stewardesses, colorful entertainment stars, wealthy daughters, and young women who still have charm, will they still feel the same? Alone and lonely?
