But if Zhongli Mo didn't give the order to retreat, with the strength of this Chu army, a large part of the soldiers would fight until the last moment.
"Han Xin, Zhang Han, even if I die, it will never make you two feel better."
"kill!"
At this time, Zhong Limei already had the will to die.
The battle continued for more than half an hour. On the northern battlefield, the [-] archers led by Ying Bu and the [-] Qi cavalry left behind by Zhang Han were also killed in pieces.
Yingbu led the army to escape first.
On Zhongli Mo's side, there were already many soldiers of the Chu army who could not hold on and chose to flee for their lives.
But in the end, those Chu army infantry who escaped did not escape very far, and were overtaken and killed by a small group of Qi army cavalry.
In this way, many soldiers of the Chu army were desperate.
Since you can't escape, let's fight to the death!
The battle continued for more than half an hour. At this time, most of the Chu army suffered casualties on the battlefield, and most of the Chu army soldiers could not hold on anymore.
It is still defeated, a death battle, easier said than done, because everyone wants to survive.
To be honest, it was extremely difficult for the Chu army to persist to this extent, but the defeat was inevitable after all.
"Finally defeated, the resilience of this Chu army is incredible."
When Han Xin saw that the Chu army was defeated across the board, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
For more than an hour, it was a torment for Zhong Limei, and it was actually a torment for Han Xin as well.
Han Xin did not expect that the Chu army's resilience was so tenacious, and their fighting will was so tenacious.
It has been more than an hour since Zhang Han came here, and the Chu army's infantry on the battlefield had long been divided into pieces, and they even persisted for more than an hour before being defeated.
After the Chu army was defeated across the board, Han Xinxin was relieved.
In this case, even the victorious division would have no chance to fight back.
The Chu army's will to fight has collapsed, and the rest depends on how much the Qi army can catch up and kill.
Since ancient times, an army with a broken will and fleeing from the battlefield, no matter how powerful it was before, has no chance of counterattacking and winning.
If the heart is broken and the blood is cold, it is a loser.
"kill!"
The Chu army fled across the board, but Zhang Han refused to let go, and led the few remaining Qi army cavalry to follow and kill them.
The cavalry brought by Zhang Han still had the strength to fight again.
But those Qi soldiers who came with Han Xin first and put into battle were already exhausted by this time.
After seeing the Chu army fled, they gritted their teeth and chased and killed them for a while, and then they all got tired.
After fighting for three or four hours in a row, they had already exhausted their physical strength.
After all, they were cavalry in front, but most of their horses were killed by Chu army infantry in the back, and they had long been reduced to infantry.
At this time, the sky was also dark, and Zhang Han led more than a thousand cavalry of the Qi army, and continued to chase south.
Han Xin didn't stop him either, not worried about Zhang Hanzhong's ambush.
At this time, the Chu army, not to mention the darkness, even if the sky is falling, don't expect these soldiers of the Chu army who fled for their lives to have the courage to ambush Zhang Han.
Let Zhang Han continue to chase and kill as many soldiers of the Chu army as possible, so as to expand the results of this battle.
"Hey, I won this battle, but it was also a miserable victory!"
Looking at the battlefield within a radius of several miles, Han Xin was full of corpses of soldiers and horses from the two armies, almost covering the ground, and couldn't help showing a wry smile.
Even if the number of casualties has not been counted after the war, Han Xin also knows that their casualties in this battle must be not small.
"A miserable victory is a miserable victory, at least [-] elite Chu troops were wiped out in this battle.
Without these [-] elite Chu troops, Xiang Yu will definitely be seriously injured. This king wants to see how you can continue to attack this king, Xiang Yu. "
Thinking of Xiang Yu, Han Xin's face turned cold, and he hated Xiang Yu very much.
Zhang Han, who chased him out, didn't lead the army back until midnight. He brought back the heads of more than [-] soldiers of the Chu army, which is already very good.
After all, the cavalry of the Qi army who chased after Zhang Han in the end were only more than [-] cavalry.
When Zhang Han came back, Han Xin had ordered people to set up camp here temporarily to let the soldiers rest overnight, and the battlefield had not even been cleaned.
The soldiers of the Qi army were really exhausted. It was not easy for the Qi army to win this battle.
But the significance is equally significant. These [-] soldiers of the Chu army are the most powerful infantry regiment under Xiang Yu's command, the backbone of the Chu army's infantry.
In this battle, Han Xin annihilated the [-] soldiers of the Chu army, basically crippling the infantry regiment of the Chu army, which would definitely hurt the strength of the Chu army.
Han Xin believes that from now on, within a few years, Xiang Yu will never think about launching a crusade against him again.
It will take at least several years for Xiang Yu to regain his vitality.
However, Han Xin will not give Xiang Yu a chance to recover his vitality for several years.
"Xiang Yu, from now on, we should switch offense and defense." Han Xin sneered.

After dawn, the Qi army counted their troops.
Han Xin and Zhang Han had a total of 8000 Qi cavalry under their command. After the battle, more than [-] cavalry were lost, more than [-] were injured, and more than half of them were killed or killed.
Although his own casualties were heavy, Han Xin was very distressed when he learned about it.
These Qi army cavalry are also the most elite troops under his command, and they lost more than half at one time, so it's no wonder Han Xin doesn't feel bad.
However, when Han Xin remembered that he had won the battle and defeated the main force of the [-] Chu army's infantry, he finally got some comfort and felt that the casualties were completely acceptable.
"My lord, the statistics are out.
In this battle, our army beheaded [-] Chu soldiers and captured more than [-] people..."
Soon, a general of the Qi army excitedly came to Han Xin and reported loudly to Han Xin.
"Haha, good, good!"
Knowing the specific number of Chu army infantry killed in this battle, Han Xin even laughed and roared, feeling extremely happy.
The battle damage ratio of the two sides has reached more than one to two, which is already extremely disparate.
After all, both sides are the elites of the Qi and Chu armies.
It is already extremely terrifying for the elite to have a battle damage ratio of more than one to two.
On the other side, after dawn, many soldiers of the Chu army who were defeated from the north fled to Ying County.
"Overlord, defeated, defeated!"
A general of the Chu Army rushed to Xiang Yu in a state of distress, weeping loudly.
"Chu Li, what's going on? Tell me clearly."
Xiang Yu had a bad premonition in his heart at this time, and shouted in a cold voice.
The general of the Chu army calmed down after being shouted at by Xiang Yu, and said, "Your Majesty, on the way back with General Zhong, we were attacked by cavalry from the Qi army.
We were flanked by the Qi army and defeated.
General Zhong, General Ying, and General Ji were all dispersed, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties! "
As he spoke, the general of the Chu army lowered his head with a sad expression on his face.
"what!"
After Xiang Yu heard this, his eyes widened.
Xiang Yu never expected that Han Xin, who left here overnight, went to attack Zhongli Mo's headquarters who was heading south.
"How could it be defeated.
There are 6 troops under Zhongli Mo's command, and the Qi army is only so small, how could it be possible to lose. "
Xiang Yu quickly couldn't accept this opportunity, and roared angrily.
"Your Majesty, we fell into the trap of the Qi army and were defeated by the cavalry of Han Xin and Zhang Han."
"Trash, come here, drag him down and cut him off!"
Xiang Yu was furious and scolded.
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"Your Majesty, General Chu desperately came back to report the letter, which shows that he is loyal to Your Majesty.
I also hope that the king will be lenient and spare General Chu. "
Yu Ziqi hurriedly stood up and pleaded for Chu Li.
"Hmph, gather your troops and come with me."
Xiang Yu snorted coldly, ignored Chu Li, and gave the order to gather troops.
Soon, Xiang Yu headed north with [-] Chu cavalry, leaving behind the [-] Qi army surrounded by them.
"General, the Chu army outside the stronghold has withdrawn."
As soon as Xiang Yu left with the cavalry of the Chu army, there were soldiers in the Qi army camp excitedly reporting to the commander of the Qi army who was staying behind.
"Xiang Yu led the army and withdrew, did he go north?"
General Qi asked.
"Yes, General."
"It seems that the king should have succeeded."
The general Qi suddenly smiled and said.
"Order the whole army to prepare to withdraw."
The Qi general happily gave an order, taking this opportunity, he was going to take the rest of the Qi army and leave here as soon as possible.
Ying County is not very far from the place where the Qi and Chu armies fought.
Xiang Yu led his cavalry northward, and soon encountered many soldiers of the Chu army who had fled.
Xiang Yu looked at the most elite soldiers under his command before, all of them looked ashamed and embarrassed at this time, and he was even more enraged.
"Long Qi, stay and gather the soldiers, and the rest of the troops will go north with the king."
At this moment, Xiang Yu wished he could go to Han Xin and Zhang Han and kill them with his own hands.
Therefore, at this time, he rushed north without stopping, trying to catch up with Han Xin and Zhang Han.
Along the way, more and more soldiers of the Chu army who fled appeared in the sight of Xiang Yu and others.
However, Xiang Yu did not find Zhong Limei or Ying Bu and others.
The main reason is that when the Chu army was defeated last night, Chu generals such as Zhong Limei, Ying Bu, and Ji Bu were all targeted by Zhang Han.
Zhongli Mo and the others, in order to avoid Zhang Han's pursuit, brought a group of personal guards to the deep mountains and old forests, so they didn't dare to escape along the road.
So, at this time, Xiang Yu brought people to the north, so naturally he couldn't find Zhong Limei and others.
"Continue to go north!"
Xiang Yu issued an order to continue marching north with [-] Chu cavalry under his command.
Half a day later, Xiang Yu led the cavalry of the Chu army to the place where the Qi and Chu armies fought.
It's a pity that Xiang Yu didn't see Han Xin or a Qi soldier under Zhang Han's command, except for the corpses of his own Chu army soldiers everywhere.
Han Xin was not an idiot either. Just after dawn, he asked the Qi army to clean up the battlefield, and quickly evacuated here with the corpses of the Qi army soldiers who died in battle.
"Ah, Han Xin, this king wants to tear your corpse into thousands of pieces!"
In the wilderness, there was only Xiang Yu's angry roar.
The other Chu generals around were all as quiet as a cicada, and no one dared to speak at this time, for fear of offending Xiang Yu.
It's a pity that Xiang Yu's anger turned to anger. With the destruction of his [-] Chu army infantry, Xiang Yu also lost the strength to continue to conquer Han Xin.
