War process:
cut off all means of retreat
In December of the third year of Qin II (October 208 BC to September 207 BC), Xiang Yu led Chu army to the Yellow River (zhangshui), south of Julu County, and immediately sent yingbu and Pu general to cross the river to help the giant deer. Second, after crossing the river, the first battle was Xiaosheng, and Chen Yu, Zhao general, urged soldiers. Then Xiang Yu led the whole army across the Yellow River (zhangshui), ordered the whole army to break the boat, burn down the house tent, and only take three days of food. In order to show the determination of death, Xiangyu ran straight to the giant deer with the power of quick thunder, defeated the Qin army of Zhang Han to protect the corridor, cut off the grain path of Wang Li and surrounded Wang Li army. Xiangyu's determination and courage have played a great role in encouraging the generals. The Chu army surrounded Wang Li's army, and all of them were morale inspiring, and they were brave and brave in the Vietnam War. After nine fierce battles, Zhang Han was finally defeated, Wang Li was captured alive, and Su Jiao was killed. Qin would fire himself in the middle of the war. Other Qin Army soldiers were killed and escaped. The Qin army that besieged the giant deer collapsed.
stand by watching others battle
At this time, the military power of Chu army was overwhelming the princes; the army of the states that rescued the great deer had more than ten bases, but they were afraid to send out troops. When Chu army attacked Qin army, generals of the various Marquis were watching war on barracks. Seeing Chu Army soldiers, they were shocked by the sound of killing. Everyone in the army was terrified. After defeating the Qin army in this way, Xiangyu summoned the generals of the marquis. When these generals entered the gate, none of them were kneeling and moving forward, and no one dared to look up to them. Xiang Yu has been the general of the Marquis army since then, and all the princes have been under his command.
But in the biography of Zhang Er Chen Yu in the historical records, there is another saying about the princes and soldiers: "Xiangyu soldiers have several chapters on Han corridor, Wang leaves the army and lacks food. Xiangyu learns that Xiangyu leads soldiers to cross the river, so he breaks Chapter Han. Zhang Han led soldiers to solve them. The princes dared to attack the giant deer and Qin army, so the king of the prisoners left. Suicide in question. " According to Zhang Er Chen Yu biography, the Hou army only stood on the wall when Xiangyu and Zhang Han were in the battle of the corridor escort. When Xiangyu attacked Wang, the Hou army participated in the siege, and captured the king and forced the involved to commit suicide, which was the common result of the Chu Army and the Hou army.
Simaguang in the Northern Song Dynasty, in the book of general learning of the Zizhi, combined the statements of Xiangyu's original period and Zhang Er Chen Yu biography in the historical records, and expressed it as follows: "Xiangyu is the one who has been led to cross the river, all of them are sunk, broken kettle, steamer, burning lushe and holding three days of food to show that the soldiers will die without any heart. So he left the king and met the Qin army. In the ninth war, he broke it up, and Zhang Han led the troops. The princes and soldiers dared to enter the Qin army, and then killed the Su Jiao and the king of the prisoners left. They did not fall between the two sides and killed themselves. "
The duel between the two armies
Zhang Han's army is stationed in Shiyuan, Xiangyu's army is stationed in zhanghenan, and the two armies are in confrontation, holding each other in the same battle. Because the Qin army retreated repeatedly, Qin II sent for the censure of Zhang Han. Zhang Han was afraid, and sent Shi Shi Maxin back to the court to ask for public affairs. Simaxin arrived in Xianyang, was detained outside the palace Sima men stayed for three days, Zhao Gao unexpectedly did not meet, the heart has no trust. Shi simaxin was very scared. He rushed back to the original army of the spine, and he didn't dare to follow the original road. Zhao Gao sent someone to chase up and didn't catch up. Simaxin returned to the military and reported to Zhang Han: "Zhao Gao has a great power in the imperial court, and the following people can't do anything. Now that the war can be won, Zhao Gao must envy our fighting skills; if we can't fight, we can't help dying. I hope you will take this situation seriously! "
At this time, Chen Yu also wrote a letter to Zhang Han, saying: "Bai got up to be the general of Qin. The southern expedition captured Yan Yi, the capital of Chu, and the northern army killed the army of Ma Yunjun Zhao Kuo, and the city pool he had captured, and the number of land seized was countless, and finally he was killed. Mengtian was also the general of Qin. In the north, Hun was chased away, and thousands of miles of land was opened up in Yuzhong, and was finally killed in Yang Zhou. Why? Because they had too much war skills, it was impossible for the Qin Dynasty to reward everyone, so they were killed by legal excuse. Now, general you will be Qin for three years. The casualties and losses of soldiers are 100000. And the princes around the country have been on the rise for a while, and more and more. Zhao Gao has always been flattered by a Geng for a long time. Now the situation is in critical condition. He is afraid that Qin II will kill him. Therefore, he wants to find an excuse from law and kill the general to shirk his guilt and let others replace the general to avoid his own disaster. General you have been outside for a long time. There are many people in the court who have a gap with you. You are killed for your active and reactive. Moreover, heaven will destroy Qin, no matter it is wise or stupid, who knows. Now you can't give a straight voice to the general. It is not sad that you have become the general of the country of the dead outside. You can not be sad to stand alone and want to keep it for a long time. General, you should turn around and join the princes to attack Qin with peace agreements. They are divided into Qin regions, and they are king and they are called alone in the south. Which is better than being punished and killed by their wives and children? "
Zhang Han was still uncertain. He sent troops to Xiangyu secretly to make a peace agreement. The peace agreement was unsuccessful. Xiangyu ordered general Pu to send troops to three families and Tianjin day and night, and stationed in the south of Zhanghe to fight with the Qin army and defeat the Qin army again. Xiang Yu led all the troops to attack the Qin army in sewage, and defeated the Qin army.
Xinan kill
Zhang Han sent another man to meet Xiangyu to make a peace agreement. Xiangyu called officers to discuss: "there is not much grain and grass in the army. I want to promise them to come and make an agreement." The officers all said, "OK." Xiangyu and Zhang Han agreed to meet at Yin Ruins on the South Bank of Huan River. After the contract was concluded, Zhang Han saw Xiangyu, and couldn't help tears, and told Xiangyu about Zhao Gao's bad deeds. Xiangyu sealed Han as king Yong and was placed in Xiangyu's army. Simaxin was appointed as general, and the Qin army was in charge of the first force, and the war of giant deer was over.
The troops arrived in Xin'an. The officers and soldiers of the feudal army were once conscripted and stationed in the frontier. When they passed by the middle of Qin Dynasty, many of them did not look like them. After the Qin army surrendered, many officers and soldiers of the feudal army called them and insulted them at will by the power of victory. Many people in the Qin army privately argued: "General Zhang cheated us into surrender to the princes. If we could enter the customs to kill Qin, it would be very good; if not, the princes would take us back to Guandong, and the Qin court would surely kill all our parents, wives and children." The generals of the various princes secretly visited the Qin army officers and soldiers, and reported to Xiangyu. Xiangyu called general tsingbu and Pu to discuss: "there are still a lot of officers and soldiers in the Qin army. They are still not satisfied with it. If they don't listen to the command in the Guanzhong, things will be dangerous. Instead, they should be killed. Only Zhang Han, Shi Shi Maxin and Duwei Dong Yi will enter Qin land." So Chu army buried more than 200000 Qin troops in the south of Xin'an city in the night.
