Out but not in, go but not back, the plain suddenly, the road is far away.
With a long sword and a Qin bow, the head and body are separated, and the heart is not cautious.
He is brave and brave, and he is always strong and invincible.
When the body is dead, the spirit is alive, and the soul of the child is a ghost!
--Chu·Qu Yuan's "National Sorrow"
The change in Qin Chu's situation in Huaibei was completely unexpected. The two armies were clearly still in a stalemate, but the situation had changed overnight. It was truly shocking.
A year ago, the Thousand Mile Hunt in Huaibei had once again begun, but the pursuers had switched positions. Xiang Yan had been defeated, and it was a great defeat at that. She was now exhausted from running for her life. The Chu Country had been defeated and the capital, Shouchun, had been surrounded by the army. The destruction of the country was only a matter of time.
In the southern suburbs of Qi County, on an unknown mountain, a black dragon flag of Great Qin fluttered in the wind. Under the flag, Wang Jian and Ji Yun stood on their horses, followed by Zhao Tuo, Yang Ruihe, and Xin Sheng.
At this moment, their eyes were focused on a valley not far away. This relatively large valley was now filled with people. Inside the valley were tens of thousands of Chu army remnants, and outside the valley were countless layers of Great Qin's tiger soldiers.
A few days ago, the Chu army's main force that had been fleeing east was finally intercepted by the Mengwu troops that had set up an ambush in the outskirts of Qi City. After fleeing for a few days, the Chu army only had 100,000 soldiers left. Adding on the fact that they were already exhausted, how could they break through the Mengwu Tribe that was waiting for fatigue? As a result, Yang Ruihe, Xin Sheng, and Feng Jie, who were pursuing from behind, also arrived, and Xiang Yan was completely blocked. Under Meng Wu's arrangement, the Qin army sealed off all the passes within a hundred miles, except for the pass to the south which was slightly weaker.
When they discovered this information, the Chu army did not risk their lives to fight, but chose to break out of the encirclement. After leaving behind more than ten thousand corpses, the Chu army successfully broke out of the encirclement. However, they were shocked to find that they had fallen into a trap that the Qin army had carefully prepared. There was only one road in and out of this valley, but it had been completely surrounded by the Qin army. They had become turtles in a jar.
"Jiangnan is a vast land. Although our army is heading south, the most important thing for success is to save as many soldiers as possible. Old General Meng used the valley to surround the Chu army and used the method of killing the least to settle this battle. This was the best strategy. Wonderful, wonderful."
Wang Jian looked at the Chu army in the valley, who had failed to break out of the encirclement several times. He was very happy in his heart. Meng Wu's plan was truly a stroke of genius. It could be said to have drawn the most perfect end to this decisive battle.
All the generals nodded. Ji Yun sighed softly, feeling extremely emotional.
This war had come to an end. When they entered this valley, it was a foregone conclusion that they were all wiped out. However, these Chu Country soldiers were indeed worthy of admiration. They knew that they were in a death situation, but none of them were afraid. They attacked, charged, and broke out of the encirclement again and again. Although they were already spent, these Chu elites still caused quite a number of casualties to the Qin army.
This made Ji Yun recall the tragic scene that happened not far from here 22 years later. It was so similar to this scene, and the main character was Xiang Yan's grandson. Was it ridiculous for his grandson to repeat his grandfather's mistakes, or was it fate?
Xiang Yan had chased the Qin army for thousands of miles in the north of the Huai River before the New Year, and now she was being chased by the Qin army for thousands of miles in the north of the Huai River. Looking at Wang Jian beside him and Xiang Yan who was trapped by the Qin army in the valley, who would have thought that their grandsons would also be fighting on the battlefield seventeen years later? However, the result was that Xiang Yan's grandson trapped and captured Wang Jian's grandson alive.
With a peck, it's not as good as before. The cycle of karma was nothing more than this.
While the main force of the Chu army was engaged in a life-and-death struggle in this unknown valley, an unknown place in the Huaibei Plain was also shrouded in the light of swords and sabers.
Feng Quji's troops had been chasing after Xiang Liang's troops for several days. Although the Qin army had relied on their unyielding will to catch up to the Chu army several times during the rest of the Chu army, killing more than half of the Chu army, it still made Feng Quji very angry. This was because Xiang Liang and the other main characters would escape each time without any mishaps. There were even a few times where they almost lost him.
This time, because the Chu Country's main force was surrounded and the situation was about to be settled, Feng Jie brought a portion of the cavalry back. The father and son's blockade finally blocked Xiang Liang's team of less than 2,000 people in this place.
Although the Chu army had less than 2000 soldiers, they were undoubtedly elites who had survived the Qin army's pursuit for several days. After being surrounded by tens of thousands of Qin soldiers, these soldiers knew that they had no way out. However, it was also because of this that these soldiers exploded with the madness before they died. Thousands of people charged forward without any regard for their lives, just to break through an exit, causing the Qin army to be unable to hold on.
At the edge of Great Qin's black army, a silvery-white circular formation slowly moved eastward. In front of the silver formation, one of the golden and one of the red Chu generals waved their halberds continuously. Every time they waved, the Qin soldiers in front of them would fall off their horses. Although the Qin army was not afraid of death, and when one fell, another would immediately step forward to fill the gap, but under the attack of these two Chu generals, a gap was gradually torn open in the encirclement of the Qin army.
"We're about to break out of the encirclement. Everyone, put in more effort.”
The spear pierced through the chest of a Great Qin cavalryman. Xiang Yu turned his right hand and swung it backward. However, he did not retract the spear as he usually did. Instead, it was the Qin cavalryman who held onto the spear tightly. Xiang Yu frowned. The Qin soldiers were indeed brave.
"Ha!" Xiangyu shouted and continued to exert strength in his right hand. He lifted the Qin soldier up with his long spear and swung it to the right. The dead Qin soldier could no longer be caught. He was thrown out and smashed several Qin soldiers. At the same time, Xiang Yu pulled out his sword from the saddle with his left hand. A dazzling sword shadow flashed by, and a Qin soldier who wanted to take this opportunity to sneak attack Xiang Yu fell from his horse, his halberd broken, and he died.
On the other side of the battlefield, near a valley, an even larger black torrent surrounded the thousand-plus Chu army. Feng Quji, who was dressed in military uniform, continuously gave out orders. Following the signal, Great Qin's soldiers slowly closed in on the encirclement. The 1,000-plus Chu soldiers were like a small boat in a stormy sea, in danger of being destroyed at any moment.
However, what made Feng Quji angry was that the boat, which was already in danger, was not destroyed. The siege had been going on for more than two hours, but there was no progress. Instead, it had delayed most of his men, preventing him from sending more people to surround Xiang Yu.
Feng Quji took a look at the other side of the battlefield and frowned. He had already overestimated Xiang Yu's strength, but now he realized that it was still too low.
"Dammit, we can't take down Xiang Liang on this side, and it looks like Xiang Yu is about to break out of the encirclement. Why are these two uncles and nephews so troublesome? No wonder Ji Yun valued him so much. He was indeed extraordinary. If he escaped, he would probably be a huge disaster.”Thinking of this, Feng Quji shouted.
"Feng Jie!"
Feng Jie, who was in the formation, turned around when he heard this shout. Seeing Feng Quji signal for him to retreat, he immediately withdrew from the formation even though he was unwilling. He knew that his father was very dissatisfied with the series of changes caused by his command error a few days ago. At this time, he did not dare to disobey military orders. "Leave this to me. You take a team and make sure Xiangyu stays!”Feng Quji ordered before Feng Jie could speak.
"Yes." Feng Jie turned to look at Xiang Yu's side with a frown and left.
"Pass on the order." Seeing Feng Jie leave with his men, Feng Quji was still worried. He called for a messenger and said," Inform General Meng Tian to quickly intercept Xiang Yu's remaining troops. Tell him that Xiang Yu is a great threat and must not be let go!”
At this moment, Xiang Yu and the others had already moved to the edge. With the arc of the two long spears, several Qin soldiers fell off their horses at the same time. One gold and one red horse were the first to jump out of the Qin army's blockade.
"Xiaolong, how's the situation?" Xiang Yu asked as the two stopped their horses.
Long Qie's gaze quickly swept across the battlefield and saw Feng Jie leading the cavalry towards them.
"Young master, you must retreat. The Soaring Dragon Legion will be responsible for covering the rear.”
"No." Xiangyu flatly refused.
"Military orders are like mountains.”Long Qie's tone was equally firm.
"Either you come with me, or I stay with you.”Xiangyu grabbed the reins of Longqie's horse." I'm your young master. I order you!”
Long Qie looked at Xiangyu with his red eyes and said calmly,""I only accept one order, and that is to ensure your safety.”Xiangyu's heart skipped a beat when he saw Long Qie's expression. He had a bad feeling. But before he could react, Long Qi drew his sword with his left hand and cut off the reins. At the same time, he slapped the halberd in his right hand heavily on the rear of Xiang Yu's horse.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave!" The warhorse galloped forward, and Xiangyu quickly grabbed the reins to steady himself. The broken reins of the dragon left his hand and flew with the wind.
"Xiaolong."
As the warhorse left, Xiangyu turned around and saw that the dragon's figure was gradually fading away.
"Young Master, take care."
Was this farewell the final farewell? Xiangyu didn't know, and neither did Longqie.
Dragon withdrew his gaze, turned his horse around, and rushed back.
His mission had not been completed, and his battle would continue.
Two hours later, Long Qie charged into the encirclement of the Qin army and joined the remaining Chu army to charge into the valley. The remaining thousand soldiers took advantage of the terrain to deal with the Qin army.
Half a day later, the Chu army's plan was exposed. Feng Quji discovered that Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng were fake, so he left the infantry to surround the Chu army and brought his cavalry to pursue Xiang Yu and the others. He failed.
Three days later, Li Xin, a native of Qinan, led 8,000 dauntless knights to defeat Xiang Yan's army in Jiangdong. The main force of the Chu army was completely destroyed and could not fight. Xiang Yan committed suicide in the battle.
Since then, the one-year war between Qin and Chu had come to an end, and the Chu army had been completely annihilated.
It was the spring of the twenty-fourth year of the reign of the King of Qin, February 223 B.C.
