Chapter 6 6. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the battle of Julu shocked the world
The Yingbu team sent by Xiang Yu successfully cut off the tunnel between the two Qin armies; Chen Yu was also asked to make a gesture of saving Zhao, disrupting the Qin army's audiovisual.Everything is going smoothly according to Xiang Yu's plan.Next, the rebel army will face a decisive battle of life and death. At this time, Xiang Yu is very restless.
It's finally time to settle family hatred with the Qin army, not to mention that Xiang Yu has not forgotten what he once said: "He can be replaced." This victory will establish an eternal hegemony; Qin Jun ate it, fearing that he would no longer have the power to fight back.He understands that his next plan is almost dancing on the tip of a knife, which is a huge gamble.
From the small test of Qin soldiers, we can see that Xiang Yu is not a ruthless brute.When Xiang Liang was there, all kinds of actions were planned by Xiang Liang and carried out by Xiang Yu.When the big tree Xiang Liang was not there, Xiang Yu was gradually involved in the vortex of political struggles. Slashing Song Yi with a knife showed his political and military talents, as well as his leadership and heroism.It can be said that Xiang Yu is an idol-level figure in the hearts of the rebels, which has formed his appeal and cohesion, but in this case, these alone are not enough.So Xiang Yu thought of the plan of "breaking the boat and sinking the boat".This plan had been germinated since the time when he was stationed in Zhangshui. On the eve of the decisive battle, it finally took shape and became Xiang Yu's trump card.
"Break the kettle and sink the boat" has become an idiom today. It is easy for us to say it, but it is hard to imagine the tragedy of the situation at that time.
Yingbo won the first battle, but it only attacked the weakest point of the Qin army, and could not change the situation of disparity in strength at all.Winter was approaching, and the rebel army was short of food and grass, which could be called hunger and cold. In addition, Song Yi had been standing still for nearly two months, and the soldiers had gradually slacked off.Xiang Yu killed Song Yi and forced King Huai to make him a general, which meant that if he lost this battle, he would not be supported by King Huai of Chu.Many unfavorable factors were in front of him, forcing him to make a quick decision.
This battle can be fought, but it must be "fast"!
After Xiang Yu made his decision, his expression was calm, and he took a nap in the tent during the day.Fan Zeng admired him very much when he saw it. He never expected that Xiang Yu could still keep his expression unchanged under the current situation of such a great enemy. He is a real hero.After Xiang Yu woke up, he was refreshed and sent an order: "Prepare the boats, cross the river tomorrow morning, and fight the Qin army to the death!"
To cross the river tomorrow morning?Fight to the death with the Qin army?The soldiers had many guesses in their hearts, and their moods were more complicated.Xiang Yu's team is composed of multiple rebels, which is a typical "no-name army".Soldiers in the army formed gangs because of their different hometowns. When they got together to discuss, they talked more about the scenery of their hometown and missing their loved ones.Usually, these topics can shorten the distance between each other and relieve some of the pain of homesickness, but when it comes to life and death, it adds to the worry of "I don't know if I can go back alive".So when the military order was issued, the morale of the whole army was not high, but rather dead. There was a hopeless and dull atmosphere in the army, which Xiang Yu had expected a long time ago.
The next day, Xiang Yu led all the remaining troops across the river, and immediately ordered the iron pots to be smashed and the boats to sink as soon as they landed.And all this is done with great fanfare, ensuring that every soldier can witness the spectacular scene of "breaking the boat and sinking the boat".At that time, the generals down to the ordinary soldiers were dumbfounded, and the three armies seemed to be blown up.Xiang Yu saw that the time was ripe, and then stood on the high platform for a brief mobilization: "Brothers, we are going to fight to the death with the Qin army when crossing the river. Now there is no way out. There is the Qin army in front, and the Yellow River behind. If you win, you will die." .Now we only carry dry food for three days. After three days, if we don’t defeat the Qin army, we will either die in battle or starve to death!”
These words suddenly caused an uproar in the hearts of the soldiers.The team is formed by the integration of various rebels, and it is inevitable that there will be factional disputes.Xiang Yu knows that it is not easy to work together, but everyone has the same desire to survive, and he uses this to quickly unite people's hearts.Many soldiers thought of their parents, wives and children in their hometown, and their strong desire to survive made them suddenly realize that this time it was not for fun, and it would be really difficult to return to their hometown if they didn't work hard.
Xiang Yu's determination and courage greatly encouraged the soldiers.Xiang Yu gathered the main forces together and directly attacked the tunnel, like a hungry tiger pounced on the Qin army, cutting off the Qin army's food road with lightning speed.
After Zhang Han heard the news, he thought to himself: "Xiang Yu is playing guerrilla warfare for me again." Bewildered by the harassment war of the Yingbo army in the early stage, Zhang Han thought that Xiang Yu was playing the game of cutting food again, causing sabotage and then running away.So he led the army to rescue without even setting up the formation.When he faced the tide of rebels, he suddenly realized that Xiang Yu had not played according to the routine this time. Xiang Yu was putting all his eggs in one basket, bringing in the main force of the Chu army, and putting all his chips on it.Intentional versus unintentional, decisive battle versus rescue, the outcome can be imagined!If Zhang Han had really witnessed the scene where Xiang Yu broke the boat, he would definitely not underestimate Xiang Yu's attack this time.Seeing that the rebel army was in full swing, he was completely unprepared and powerless to fight back, so he retreated disgracefully, losing troops and generals.
After Xiang Yu repelled Zhang Han's army, he proved the role of breaking the boat to boost morale.Next, Xiang Yu didn't let the soldiers rest for a moment, and immediately rushed towards the unprepared Wang Lijun without stopping.
Wang Li surrounded the giant deer tightly, and Zhang Han was there to help him. He felt that the giant deer was just something in his pocket, and the rebels came to wipe out one by one.Wang Li has been busy guarding against Chen Yu's bluff for the past few days, when he suddenly heard that Xiang Yu was leading the army to kill him, he was shocked, so he had to order General Su Jiao to fight hastily.At this time, Xiang Yu had already made tactical deployments, interspersed, divided, and surrounded the loose Qin army, and Xiang Yu personally led the troops to attack the Qin army's command center.With the determination to die, the Chu army was fierce and fierce, fighting more and more bravely, and started a desperate struggle with the Qin army.Su Jiao, Wang Li's general, was terrified by the crazy Chu army. Xiang Yu killed him and took his head immediately.The Qin army lost its main general, and the area was in chaos. The army led by Su Jiao fell apart like this.
As soon as Su Jiao died, Wang Li personally led the army to meet the Chu army.When Wang Li fought Xiang Yu, he was very shocked, thinking that he was really doomed this time.I saw that one Chu army is worth ten Qin soldiers, and ten can be worth a hundred.After nine fierce battles, Xiang Yu captured Wang Li alive.
The other Qin army, led by Shejian, faced the momentum of the Chu army, collapsed before fighting, and Shejian committed suicide.Some of the other soldiers of the Qin army were killed, and some fled. The Qin army surrounding Julu collapsed like this.Wang Li, a frontier guard who had made great military exploits, just disappeared on the Julu battlefield.
Zhang Han was deeply saddened to learn that one of the three generals under his command was captured, died in battle, and committed suicide.He never thought that Xiang Yu's burst of power would be so astonishing.This battle seriously injured him, so he had to retreat to Jiyuan (Julu South), reorganize the remnants, and prepare to confront Xiang Yu, and then fight for opportunities.
There were more than a dozen groups of people from all walks of life who came to rescue Zhao. At first, they were all afraid of the powerful Qin army, so they set up camp and did not dare to confront the Qin army.When Xiang Yu was fighting the enemy bravely at the foot of Julu City, they heard the earth-shattering shouts of the Chu army and huddled on the wall to watch.Seeing Chu Jun rampage, they all stuck out their tongues and held their breath in shock, and only then did they really get to know Xiang Yu, a young man.
Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army and broke the siege of Zhao. He invited them to meet at the barracks.They all knelt on the ground and crawled in, not even daring to raise their heads, they were convinced by Xiang Yu.Everyone praised Xiang Yu and said: "The majesty of the general is really great. There has been no second since ancient times. We are willing to follow your command." The generals said these words not to please Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu has indeed won everyone's respect. .When Xiang Yu heard these words, he smiled and said nothing, and looked into the distance, as if he saw the day when he would achieve supremacy.
This battle completely defeated the two powerful teams of the Qin army, truly established Xiang Yu's dominance of the world, and won the admiration of all princes.After the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu actually became the real leader of the various anti-Qin rebel forces.On the other hand, the Battle of Julu was a huge victory in the peasant war at the end of the Qin Dynasty. It basically destroyed the main force of the Qin army, reversed the entire battle situation, and laid the foundation for the victory of the anti-Qin struggle.
The key to Xiang Yu's victory in the Battle of Julu lies in the word "fast".If you can't stimulate the desire of the soldiers to fight quickly, and you can't destroy the Qin army in a short time, there is only death!So Xiang Yu thought of the strategy of "put it to death and live later".In the shortest possible time, using the gap between the two Qin armies, he boldly played a dance on the tip of the knife, took chestnuts from the fire under the eyes of the Qin army, and fought a real mobile battle at the fastest speed.Xiang Yu's speed was so fast that the commander of the Qin army didn't realize it at all, so fast that the Qin army didn't have time to deploy, so fast that the Qin army had no time to cooperate, and so fast that the Qin army was completely wiped out when it reacted.Xiang Yu thought that others did not dare to think, broke the rules, and defeated each of them under the eyes of the elite Qin army, and finally achieved this wonderful war.
