Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say.
One hundred thousand Chu troops crossed the Huan River in a grand procession, but after crossing the Huan River, Xiang Yu issued a new order.
"Smash all the cooking pots."
“They sank all the boats used to cross the water.”
Standing on the high platform, Xiang Yu's voice was cold and sharp.
In the Chu army, Xiang Yu was the authority.
With their cooking pots broken and their boats sunk, each Chu soldier had only three days' worth of rations left.
"Follow me and kill them."
"Victory is assured in this battle!"
The tone is brief.
But it was incredibly powerful, carrying a strong smell of blood.
The generals and soldiers of Western Chu understood Xiang Yu's thoughts and their current predicament.
"Kill!" Xiang Yu raised one hand and roared.
"kill--!
The response to his shout was a deafening roar from the Western Chu.
"kill!"
"kill--!
! ”
......
"General, the Great General has made a move!" Han Xin rushed into Xiang An's tent and reported loudly.
Xiang An jumped up with a shout of "Zeng".
"When did it start? How long has it been moving? How much longer until we reach Julu?" Xiang An asked three questions as soon as he stood up, almost making Han Xin lose his balance.
However, Han Xin answered Xiang An's question with a serious expression: "The operation started this morning, and it has been two hours now! If nothing unexpected happens, we will reach Julu within three days!"
"Order the entire army! Set off immediately! Don't delay for a moment!" Xiang An gritted his teeth, personally donned his armor, placed his sword at his waist, and carried his longbow and halberd on his back before stepping out of the tent.
Meanwhile, the soldiers outside had already begun dismantling their tents.
"Forget about those tents!" Xiang An roared upon seeing this, and the entire camp was jolted. "Take only the essentials! Everyone mount up and charge with me!"
"Yes!" The slightly fanatical voices were unified. They didn't bother to ask about the camps anymore. They packed up, took their weapons and rations, and quickly assembled.
"Let's go! Rush to the General's aid!"
"yes--!
! ”
......
As if on cue, everyone sprang into action.
Three days later, on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Qin army, led by Zhang Han, launched a general offensive against the Zhao state.
General Chen Yu of Zhao led the few remaining Zhao troops in a desperate resistance, but due to the excessively long battle lines, their manpower had long been exhausted by the Qin army. The tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers still huddled in Julu City were all remnants of defeated soldiers, exhausted and worn out, and were simply unable to inflict any effective damage on Qin.
but--
From the south, an army surged in.
Zhao Gao, who was launching an attack on Julu, naturally knew who was coming from the south.
He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Where are the garrison at Jiyuan?! Why is Xiang Yu here?!"
"Reporting to the general! Jiyuan—Jiyuan has fallen!" the scout hurriedly reported.
Zhang Han gritted his teeth and focused his gaze on the city wall of Julu City in front of him.
Zhao Jun indeed had no will to fight, but if he couldn't hold the city, he would be utterly useless.
"Let Wang Li's men take the lead on the battlefield! Left Army, Left Vanguard Army, turn your horses around with me! Kill Xiang Yu!"
"!" Zhang Han thought quickly and immediately gave the order.
However, his order came a little too late.
Because Xiang Yu's army moved faster than usual, they had gone from being visible on the horizon to now being almost in front of Zhang Han's army.
Before Zhang Han could react, his army's flank had already clashed with Xiang Yu's army.
"Zhang Han—!"
! ”
A roar like thunder shook Zhang Han's eardrums in the noisy battlefield.
"Xiang Yu! Are you here to die too! Just like your uncle!?" Although somewhat shocked, Zhang Han had to roar to show his attitude.
"Further words are pointless!"
boom--!
!
The black steed leaped high into the air, like a black thundercloud, and crashed into Zhang Han's army.
Xiang Yu fought his way through the enemy lines and arrived directly in front of Zhang Han.
Zhang Hantong stared blankly for a moment, and then saw Xiang Yu's Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd hurtling towards him.
Spurring his horse to leap to the side, Zhang Han dodged Xiang Yu's attack.
Zhang Han had long heard that the two young masters of the Xiang family were exceptionally skilled in martial arts, even surpassing the Xiang family patriarch, Xiang Liang. Moreover, the weapon he held was the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd, a weapon of great renown that Zhang Han had heard of before.
Compared to Xiang Yu, Zhang Han was more concerned about the battle situation between the two armies. This was a war, not a contest of martial arts. As a general, he had to take overall command.
However, he discovered something very strange.
That is, Xiang Yu's army's combat capabilities seem somewhat...
Something's not right?
Every soldier looked like a vengeful ghost from the underworld, their expressions and movements suggesting they were about to devour people.
------------
Chapter 922 Thunderclap in Winter Outside Giant Deer City
Zhang Han found the situation extremely troublesome.
If he could barely withstand Xiang Liang's attacks before, he wouldn't dare touch Xiang Yu's attack now.
The massive, jet-black halberd carried immense power; a mere graze would injure, a direct hit would be fatal. Despite having a larger force, Zhang Han—
Retreat steadily.
"Chu army, listen to my command! Do not retreat an inch! Kill!"
"!" Xiang Yu forced Zhang Han back several steps again, turned his head, and roared at the Chu soldiers fighting the Qin soldiers behind him, the sound echoing across the battlefield.
"kill--!
! ”
Zijuan was the first to respond, followed by a roaring response.
Zhang Han took two steps back, then turned his horse around and retreated. He didn't actually withdraw his troops, and the two armies continued to fight.
“These Chu soldiers—something’s not right!” He gasped for breath, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and said through gritted teeth with certainty.
He had led the Qin army in battles against the Chu soldiers more than once or twice, and Zhang Han believed he knew the nature of the Chu army quite well.
They were of good quality, had a neat military appearance, and a strong fighting spirit, but these Chu soldiers were completely beyond his comprehension!
Whether generals or soldiers, everyone was attacking and assaulting frantically, as if they were a unified whole, radiating a massive and orderly aura of menace.
A meaningful smile appeared on Xiang Yu's cold face. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Han through the large Qin army, making Zhang Han's heart stop beating.
The Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd spun around and smashed into a Qin soldier who seemed to be trying to gain some merit in battle. The moment the Qin soldier made contact with the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd, he split open from the middle, his bones turned into powder, his body turned into rotten flesh, and he flew far away.
With a cold snort, Xiang Yu no longer cared about Zhang Han and led the Chu army behind him to fight against the Qin soldiers.
The Zhao army in Julu City also saw their morale greatly boosted after discovering the aid from Xiang Yu's army.
"Zhao soldiers, Chu reinforcements have arrived—hold Julu City!" General Chen Yu shouted from the city wall, his eyes blazing with hatred and anger as he glared menacingly at the Qin soldiers below.
On the battlefield, he had no time to think about anything else. In this battle, victory meant life, defeat meant death, so... there was no way out.
The only solution is to kill.
Beneath the walls of Julu City, the sounds of battle filled the air.
The Qin army had already reacted to the Chu army's frenzied offensive. Wang Li's army, which had surrounded the north city wall, was rapidly moving towards the west gate, while Zhang Han's army, which was the main force attacking from the west gate, was suffering greatly.
Zhang Han stationed about 30,000 troops in Jiyuan Town, about three miles south of Julu. But now that Xiang Yu's army has appeared here directly and he has not received any news, there is only one possibility.
That means all 30,000 Qin soldiers from Jiyuan were killed.
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Han couldn't help but swallow hard.
They're all dead, not a single one left. That's the only possibility.
Even the town of Jiyuan might not exist anymore.
The Qin army currently stationed at the west gate of Julu City numbers around 160,000, not much more than the Chu army, which has now completely pressed forward!
"Miscalculation—!" Zhang Han's eyes widened in fury as he killed a Chu soldier and roared, "Forget about Julu City! Shift the battle objective to Western Chu! Quickly!"
"Generals of the Great Qin, follow the general and fight!"
"!" Jin Qixiu followed Zhang Han, baring his teeth and glaring, brandishing his spear and leading the charge in battle.
Dust storms have already appeared in the north.
Xiang Yu and Kong Yining.
