Chapter 987 Battle of the Giant Deer
In the vast north, the north wind is bitter, the sky is dark and hazy, and thousands of miles are frozen.
A group of soldiers and horses appeared in the north out of thin air, Xia Jun's flags fluttered, and the soldiers in sharp clothes exhaled white air and rubbed their hands because of the cold.
Chu Tian was wrapped in a cloak, looking around, it was actually cold winter.
The main world is in October, and the epic dungeon is in December, and it's freezing cold.
The 50,000 Xia troops who entered the dungeon had their halberd-holding hands frozen stiff due to the cold.
"What battle will happen in the cold winter? This place seems very familiar..."
Chu Tian fought in all directions in the Han Empire and set foot in many places, so he could roughly tell where he was.
The scene in front of me seems to be in the Jizhou area north of the Yellow River...
There were many battles in Jizhou, such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the decisive battle between the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty and the three brothers Zhang Jiao in Julu County.
Chu Tian still remembered the first epic battle "Yellow Turban Rebellion".
Could this be Julu County?
Could it be that the battle that took place in Julu County was...
Chu Tian thought of an earth-shattering battle—the Battle of Julu.
The Battle of Julu is the famous battle of Overlord Xiang Yu.
"Wouldn't it be the Battle of the Giant Deer?"
Xia Liang approached Chu Tian, breathed on his hands, dressed in white, his cheeks were flushed from the cold.
"It seems that there are nine out of ten... We should have prepared more clothes if we had known that the dungeon space would be cold in the twelfth lunar month."
Chutian has already confirmed that this epic battle is the Battle of Julu.
However, Chutian didn't know which camp he belonged to.
In the battle of Julu, the overlord Xiang Yu fought with the Qin army, nine battles and nine victories, all the princes of the world bowed their knees to Xiang Yu.
Military merit can bring prestige, so it is said that meritorious service is high.
The battle of Julu was divided into two camps, the Qin army and the coalition forces of the princes.
In addition to the Chu army represented by Xiang Yu, the coalition camp of the princes also included the Zhao army, Qi army, and Yan army.
The allied forces of the princes were divided into two groups. Xiang Yu went north to rescue the Zhao army who was besieged by the Qin army in Julu, and Liu Bang went west to conquer Guanzhong.
Liu Bang did not participate in the Battle of Julu.
The winner of the Battle of Julu was the coalition of princes represented by Xiang Yu, so in theory, it is more advantageous to be in the same camp as Xiang Yu.
The 50,000 troops were waiting for the iron eagle scout cavalry to investigate the surrounding terrain and situation. At this time, a black armored cavalry was approaching Chutian's 50,000 troops.
"Meet the enemy!"
Since most of the troops were cavalry, Xia's army assembled quickly.
The 5,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are also well-trained and arranged in a linear phalanx.
The black armored cavalry who arrived did not know whether they were friends or foes.
"The Qin Army respects black. Could this be the cavalry of the Qin Army?"
Seeing the black armored cavalry approaching, Chu Tian knew it.
The black-armored cavalry stopped less than two hundred steps away from the 50,000 Xia army, and a black-armored general rode out: "Are you the general sent by His Majesty?"
Chu Tian probably knew that the black-armored general was the Qin army, and the Qin army general regarded him as the general sent by Qin Ershi Hu Hai to support the Qin army.
In all likelihood, I joined the Qin army camp.
Chu Tian couldn't help frowning, the enemy camp was Xiang Yu, and he wanted to fight a holy general...
What Chutian is most proud of is his cavalry.
However, there are still a few cavalrymen who are also unparalleled in the world, such as Temujin, Xiang Yu, Alexander...
When meeting Xiang Yu this time, Chutian's cavalry was no longer the strongest.
Confronting Xiang Yu was too exciting, even Chu Tian couldn't bear it...
Chu Tian responded to Qin General: "Chu Zimou, I was ordered to come to help. Dare I ask the general's name?"
General Qin was very satisfied when he saw Chu Tian's admission that he had formally joined the Qin army's camp in the Battle of Julu: "I was under Meng Tian's subordinate She Jian, and now I am General Wang Li's subordinate."
"So it's General Shejian..."
Chu Tian really didn't know this person.
But Chu Tian knew about Meng Tian and Wang Li.
Chu Tian knew about Meng Tian, because Meng Tian worked under Chu Tian's command.
Wang Li is also a celebrity.
Wang Li's father was Wang Ben, and Wang Ben's father was Wang Jian.
The three generations of the Wang family were all Qin generals. The abilities of Wang Jian, Wang Ben, and Wang Li are not bad. Of course, Wang Jian is greater than Wang Ben, and Wang Ben is greater than Wang Li.
Wang Li is also a famous general. After Meng Tian committed suicide, Wang Li succeeded Meng Tian and took charge of the Great Wall Army.
Later, during the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Great Wall Army fled one after another. Wang Li led the remaining Great Wall Army to the south and joined forces with Qin General Zhang Han to suppress the Mo Qin uprising army.
However, Wang Li met the overlord Xiang Yu, and was defeated and killed. The Daqin royal family declined from then on.
She Jian was Meng Tian's general, that is, one of the generals of the Great Wall Army. After Meng Tian died, Wang Li took over Meng Tian's position, so She Jian also followed Wang Li to the south to suppress the uprising army at the end of Qin Dynasty and entered the Julu battlefield.
In terms of ability comparison, Shejian's ability is lower than Wang Li's.
"General Wang Li is already waiting for you outside Julu City. With your army coming to help, I will definitely teach this group of remnants of the six kingdoms to look good."
Shejian looked at the 50,000 troops brought by Chutian.
Chutian's 50,000 troops are all high-level troops, comparable to the Qin army at its peak.
Shejian couldn't help being envious: "If the former emperor was still there, and there was a Qin army that swept across the six countries, how could the Kwantung bandits be so arrogant? No, if the son Fusu and General Meng Tian were still alive, the Kwantung bandits would not dare to do so."
Chu Tian deeply believed in this sentence.
During the period of King Qin Zhaoxiang and Qin Shihuang, the Qin army was at its peak, and the nobles of the six countries were suppressed to death. However, during the period of Qin II, the Qin army that swept the six countries was no longer what it was before.
At this time, thirty years have passed since Qin Shihuang began to monopolize power, and more than ten years have passed since the establishment of the Qin Empire. Many Qin soldiers who swept the six countries are already old people.
In addition, without Qin Shihuang presiding over the overall situation, Qin II and Zhao Gao could not suppress the nobles of the six countries at all.
Although the Dragon Emperor is old, the heroes of the Kanto region will be afraid.
The Dragon Emperor passed away, Qin lost its deer, and the heroes competed in the Central Plains.
As a military general in the Mengtian era, Shejian should be a general appointed at the end of Qin Shihuang's period. Naturally, he misses the era when the Qin army was strong and prosperous, not the current precarious Great Qin Empire.
The deaths of the sons Fusu and Mengtian can be regarded as the last hope of the Qin Empire.
Perhaps, the combination of the young master Fusu and Mengtian can extend the state title of the Qin Empire.
But history has no ifs.
This place is a dungeon of an epic battle. What Chutian is trying to achieve is to let the Qin army represented by him win and challenge the coalition of princes represented by the overlord Xiang Yu.
Although the uprising army at the end of Qin Dynasty was launched by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the results of the uprising had already been seized by the nobles of the six countries.
Xiang Yu was the queen of Chu.
Those who were besieged in Julu City were the nobles of Zhao State.
In other words, this is a war between the Qin army and the nobles of the six countries.
The nobles of the six countries are still afraid of the Qin army, and the fear is engraved in their bones. Only when the God of War can defeat the Qin army can the fear of the Qin army be eliminated.
The 50,000 Xia army commanded by Chu Tian assembled and followed Shejian's 500 Qin cavalry to march towards Julu City.
"How many troops does General Wang Li have?"
Chu Tian thought it necessary to know the reality of the Qin army in this battle. After all, the opponent was Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, which was extraordinary.
If Chutian hadn't intervened, Qin Jun would have been crushed head-on by Xiang Yu.
"Two hundred thousand Great Wall troops, including tens of thousands of elites. The Great Wall Army is no longer what it used to be. There are a large number of people fleeing. The two hundred thousand are mostly from the young and strong who built the Great Wall. The leader will be General Wang Li, and I will be under him. With the two generals Su Jiao."
Shejian hated the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, but was quite enthusiastic about Chutian as an allied army, and explained the details of the Qin army to Chutian.
"200,000 Great Wall troops..."
Because Chutian has many generals, he knows how many troops a general can easily command.
The 200,000 Great Wall Army, even the king-level commanders are very reluctant, and the emperor-level commanders can be handy.
Chu Tian didn't think Wang Li's command value could provide a bonus to the 200,000 Great Wall Army.
Even with Wang Li, She Jian, and Su Jiao, the addition of three people could hardly cover the 200,000 troops.
According to what She Jian said, among the 200,000 Great Wall Army, it is estimated that only tens of thousands are the real special arms "Great Wall Army", that is, Meng Tian's old troops.
This group of troops is also Wang Li's real elite.
Shejian continued: "To the south of Julu, there are more than 200,000 troops of Zhang Han, tens of thousands of them are the elite of Guanzhong, and the rest are prisoners of Lishan Mountain. Zhang Han is responsible for protecting the grain road and blocking the troops coming from the south. Bandit soldiers. Our food comes from Guanzhong and Luoyang. None of the bandits in the Guandong group is Zhang Han's opponent, and Xiang Liang was killed by Zhang Han."
"That is to say, the Qin army has 400,000 troops, of which about 100,000 are elite."
Chu Tian probably understood the strength of the Qin army camp in the Battle of Julu.
Although the generals of the Qin army are not dominant, the Qin army has a large number of troops.
Zhang Han was the last pillar at the end of the Qin Dynasty. He suppressed the uprising army. The uncle of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, fought against Zhang Han in Dingtao, and was defeated and died.
Zhang Han is also considered unlucky. If he didn't meet Xiang Yu and Han Xin, Zhang Han would be considered a first-class military general. Unfortunately, Zhang Han lost to Xiang Yu and Han Xin successively, becoming a stepping stone for the two.
Zhang Han's most famous deed is to organize Lishan prisoners and defeat the peasant uprising army at the end of Qin Dynasty that threatened Guanzhong.
Of course, Zhang Han has already summoned tens of thousands of Guanzhong Qin troops, and these Qin troops are the real main force of the Lishan Army.
At present, the Chutian camp has 400,000 Qin troops!
There are also a lot of rebels on the opposite side. The only one who really dares to confront the Qin army is Xiang Yu's army.
If Xiang Yu could win many battles, the rest of the rebels might also join the battle.
How to defeat Xiang Yu, how strong Xiang Yu is, these are all problems that Chu Tian can't solve for a while.
The 50,000 Xia troops approached Julu, and Xia Jun could already see the faint city walls of Julu City and the dark camp of the Qin army.
The troops brought by Chutian were only a quarter of Wang Li's 200,000 Great Wall troops!
In addition to the Great Wall Army, Zhang Han's Lishan Prison Army also has 200,000 soldiers!
It was hard for Chu Tian to imagine that such a huge army would lose to Xiang Yu.
This also shows Xiang Yu's horror from the side.
Shejian said: "Besieged in Julu City are the remnants of the Zhao State, Zhao Wang Zhaoxie, the country's prime minister Zhang Er, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. To the north of Julu City is the remnant army of the Zhao State General Chen Yu tens of thousands. Chen Yu Surrounding the rest of the camp, there are Qi and Yan armies, with many soldiers and horses. However, they are just a mob, and they are not to be feared. As long as they kill King Zhao, they will be terrified at the news, and they will destroy themselves without attacking."
Chutian didn't doubt Shejian's words.
The idiom "watching from the wall" comes from the battle of Julu. The princes of all walks of life have nothing to do with themselves, and hang high. Only Xiang Yu rushed to the forefront to challenge the invincible Qin army.
Therefore, although Julu has troops from Zhao, Qi, and Yan in the north, and Chu in the south, in fact, the Qin army has to deal with only Xiang Yu.
In addition, there are legions brought by princes such as Tongque and Liu Bei from the main world.
If Xiang Yu's battle is unfavorable, the NPC rebel army in the north will not dare to act rashly.
On the contrary, if Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army, the rebel army in the north of Julu would intervene in the battlefield, and the Qin army would be in danger.
When the 200,000 Great Wall troops saw the arrival of the 50,000 Xia troops, they all cast surprised looks.
Even the Qin army was very jealous of the cavalry horses and armor that Chutian brought.
Chutian's 20,000 cavalry troops are all high-level troops, equipped with the best horses and armor.
Chutian stationed troops outside Julu City.
The princes in the north of Julu were shocked when they saw that the Qin army had obtained a brave and capable army, and they dared not act rashly.
Wang Li met Chu Tian, and Chu Tian was able to see Wang Jian's grandson.
Chu Tian didn't have much respect for Wang Li, because even Wang Jian served under Chu Tian's command.
"Soon, as long as the giant deer is defeated, King Zhao is beheaded, and his head is sent to Luoyang, all the rebels will be terrified, and the world will be settled. I, Wang Li, also want to make indelible achievements like my ancestors. "
Wang Li regards the suppression of the uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty as an opportunity for him to make contributions.
If the Great Qin Empire can be rebuilt, then Wang Li's contribution will probably be the same as that of Wang Jian and Wang Ben.
Chu Tian just smiled slightly, asked Wang Li for various supplies, and at the same time drew closer.
Unlike the battle of Kunyang, Chutian can trust Liu Xiu. In the Battle of Julu, Chu Tian could not trust Wang Li.
Not to mention Wang Li, even Wang Ben may not be able to stop Xiang Yu in the battle of Julu, Wang Jian is also very reluctant. Because in "The Lord", Xiang Yu is the king and a holy general.
The battle of Julu is much more difficult than the battle of Kunyang, and it is not easy to break the game.
"To the south of Julu is Zhang Han's 200,000 army, and to the south is the Chu army. If Xiang Yu's Chu army goes northward, it will definitely break out with Zhang Han's 200,000 army first. The Chu army cannot easily achieve its goal. "
On the snowy ground, Chu Tian drew a rough topographical map with branches.
Xia Liang, Wei Qing, and Sun Bin discussed with Chu Tian how to break the situation.
As for Li Guang and Dian Wei, Chu Tian didn't expect them to break the game.
The battlefield situation of the Julu Battle is very clear.
Wang Li's 200,000 Great Wall troops besieged Julu and at the same time dealt with the princes in the north.
Zhang Han's 200,000 Lishan army protected the grain roads and at the same time dealt with the princes in the south.
The grain of the Qin army was transported by water from Guanzhong and Heluo to Hebei.
Sun Bin said: "I see that Wangli, Shejian, Su Jiao and others are far inferior to the lord and General Wei Qing. It is better to try to sway their military power and lead the Qin army to fight against the Chu army."
"Eliminate Wang Li's military power? This is not easy."
Sun Bin's plan was to replace Wang Li and Zhang Han, and command the Qin army to fight the Chu army.
Chu Tian was sweating profusely, but also wanted to seize power and confront Xiang Yu head-on. The battle of Julu was not easy.
