As soon as the Qin army appeared, Yingbu, the general of the Chu army, immediately changed his color and guessed the result.
"Quick, protect the king and retreat."
Immediately, Yingbo rushed towards Xiang Yu with his men, shouting loudly.

"Protect the king, retreat!"
The Chu army retreated.
"Your Majesty, do you want to pursue?" Ma Chao asked.
"Ma Chao and Zhao Yun led the cavalry in pursuit and returned after dark."
"promise."
Immediately, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun led [-] Qin cavalry, followed the retreating Chu army, and chased and killed them all the way.
It was dark when Ma Chao and Zhao Yun came back leading the army.
At this time, Xu Feng, Guo Jia and others had already rested in Handan City.
"Your Majesty, we pursued the Chu army for thirty miles and killed more than [-] Chu troops."
Ma Chao reported.
"Okay, Meng Qi and Zilong have worked hard, let's join the ranks."
"promise."
Immediately, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun were divided among the Qin generals on both sides.
"Your Majesty, the result of the Battle of Handan has come out.
Of the [-] main forces of the Qi army besieged by us in Handan City, more than [-] were beheaded by our army, and more than [-] were captured.
Among them, Zhang Han was also captured by us.
At the same time, more than [-] Qi troops led by Han Xin were wiped out by our army, more than [-] people were killed, more than [-] people were captured, and the rest fled.
Qi Wang Han Xin's whereabouts are unknown, and he probably fled back to Linzi City.
In addition, the two generals Lu and Zhao blocked the Chu army at Guanyepo, beheaded more than [-] Chu troops, and finally forced the Chu army to retreat.
In this way, our army won the battle. "
At this time, Guo Jia stepped forward and reported to Xu Fenghui.
"Okay, haha!"
Xu Feng laughed out loud.
"After this battle, the main force of the Qi army under Han Xin's command was wiped out, and Han Xin is no longer a cause for concern."
Xu Feng was really happy. Han Xin had always been the force he feared the most. After this battle, Han Xin's Qi army was basically wiped out.
No matter how powerful Han Xin is, without soldiers and horses in his hands, he can still turn the sky.
"As for Xiang Yu's Chu army, it is no longer a concern."
Xiang Yu's Chu army, when the three crusades attacked Pengcheng, Xiang Yu's Chu army had already lost its elite, and had long since lost the ability to compete with the Qin army.
Otherwise, in the Battle of Handan, less than 5 Qin troops led by Lu Bu and Zhao Yun abruptly blocked the attack of more than [-] Chu troops.
"Your Majesty, more than 3 people were killed in this battle, and more than [-] people were injured, but the main force of our army was not damaged."
Guo Jia continued.
"Okay! Now only Liu Bang in the south is left, and I don't know how Xu Da is doing in the south?"
At this time Xu Feng was worried about Xu Dalai.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, General Xu told His Majesty before that he is sure to block the Han army for three months in Juyeze area.
It has only been less than half a month now, and General Xu sent back a good news before, so there must be no problem. "
"Well, now that I have defeated Han Xin, I can free up troops to support Xu Da.
Next, we will divide our troops into two groups.
Zilong led [-] infantry south to Juyeze to help Xu Da and Huang Zhong.
I and the governor led the army to the north, captured Qi, took Linzi, and completely destroyed Han Xin. "
Xu Feng stood up, waved his hand, and said boldly.
While you are sick, I will kill you.
Xu Feng would not give Han Xin a chance, taking advantage of this opportunity, he wanted to beat Han Xin to death at once.
"promise."
In mid-June, Xu Feng left [-] Qin soldiers in Handan to guard the Qi soldiers, and led [-] Qin soldiers northward to attack Linzi.
At the same time, the [-] Qin army infantry led by Zhao Yun also quickly went south to help Xu Da.
When Xu Feng dispatched troops in Handan City, Liu Bang also received news from the scouts in the Han army camp south of Juyeze in the south.
"What? Han Xin and Xiang Yu were defeated in Handan? How is that possible!"
When Liu Bang received the news, he couldn't believe it.
"Han Xin lost, what's going on?"
"Yes, Han Xin and Xiang Yu have more than 20 soldiers under their command, and the Qin army has only 10,000+ men. How could they be defeated so quickly?"
"Han Xin and Xiang Yu are too useless."
Immediately, after hearing Liu Bang's exclamation, many Han generals below couldn't help whispering.
"Shut up."
The irritable Fan Kui let out an angry roar, directly calming down all the Han generals.
"My lord, if this news is true, then there is no point in continuing our journey north?"
Cao Shen on the side stood up and said to Liu Bang.
"Yes, if Han Xin and Xiang Yu are really defeated by the Qin army, there is no need for us to go north."
Even Guan Ying said the same.
"Chen Ping, what do you think?"
Liu Bang immediately looked at Chen Ping, who was on the side, and asked.
When Zhang Liang was not around, Chen Ping was Liu Bang's most reliable adviser.
"Your Majesty, what we urgently need to know now is how far Han Xin and Xiang Yu lost in the battle in Handan.
Whether the whole army was wiped out or slightly damaged, there is a big difference here.
If Han Xin and Xiang Yu were wiped out by the Qin army in this battle, then there is indeed no need for us to go north.
But if Han Xin and Xiang Yu were at least defeated in the Battle of Handan, some troops were lost, and the main force was not damaged, then we have to continue northward and join forces with them. "
Chen Ping thought for a while and said to Liu Bang.
"Well, what Chen Ping said is very true."
Liu Bang nodded.
"Then we will not withdraw our troops for the time being. The king will immediately send someone to find out the more detailed battle situation in Handan, and then decide our next move."
Immediately, Liu Bang sent people north to Handan to investigate the more detailed situation of that battle.
Next, Liu Bang stopped attacking Xu Da's Qin army in the swamp east of Juyeze, and stood still, waiting for news.
"Haha, the Han army stopped attacking. It seems that Liu Bang also received the news that Han Xin and Xiang Yu were defeated by His Majesty in Handan!"
In Zhang County, east of Juye Ze, Xu Da said with a smile after knowing that the Han army was no longer trying to go north.
At this time, Xu Da was in Zhang County one step earlier, and received the good news sent by Xu Feng, and knew that Zhao Yun would soon lead [-] Qin troops to the south to support him.
"If not as expected by the general, the reason why Liu Bang did not withdraw immediately at this time is because he has not yet figured out the specific situation of the Battle of Handan.
He also had a glimmer of hope for Han Xin and Xiang Yu, and was waiting for an update.
Once Liu Bang knew that Han Xin's Qi army was almost wiped out in the Battle of Handan, he was afraid that Liu Bang would immediately lead the army south.
This general can't let Liu Bang leave so easily. "
Xu Da was thinking in his heart, ready to take this opportunity to play tricks on Liu Bang.
Two days later, Xu Da waited for Zhao Yun in Zhang County.
"Zilong, it's time to wait for you. Come on, this general has something important to discuss with you."
As soon as Zhao Yun arrived in Zhang County, before he had time to rest, he was directly dragged into the meeting hall by Xu Da to discuss important matters.
On the night of June [-], under the cover of darkness, two troops of the Qin army trudged through a swamp in the south to the Han army camp in the south.
Xu Da knew that once Liu Bang received the details of the Battle of Handan, he would definitely lead the army to withdraw.
But before that, Liu Bang's Han army would not withdraw southward.
Moreover, this time Liu Bang led the Han army to the north, with as many as 15 people. In the previous battle with Xu Da for many days, Xu Da was ambushed once, and only more than [-] people were lost.
With such a large army, it is not that simple to withdraw the troops.
Even Liu Bang couldn't believe that Xu Da dared to take the initiative to attack them.
After all, through these few days of fighting, the situation of the Qin army on Xu Da's side, Liu Bang and other generals of the Han army are almost the same, with only 4 to [-] people.
If Xu Da hadn't taken advantage of Juyeze's geographical advantage, how could Liu Bang's 10,000+ army be blocked here by the [-] Qin army.
Even if there are more than a dozen troops on the side of the Han army, many of them are miscellaneous, but under the leadership of a small number of Han army elites, their strength should not be underestimated.
This is also the big difference between Liu Bang's Han army and Qin army.
Although there are not many troops on Qin Jun's side, they are all well-equipped and well-trained.
And Liu Bang has expanded his army more than a dozen times in a row in the past two years, which has caused a sharp increase in the number of troops under his command, but the truly elite soldiers are only 4 to [-], and the rest are all mobs.
Xu Da guessed that most of the Han generals on Liu Bang's side would have such thoughts.
That's why he had this bold idea to attack the Han army camp at night.
However, Xu Da still has some self-knowledge, knowing that it is difficult to do it with only [-] soldiers under him at this time.
Therefore, Xu Da was waiting for Zhao Yun, and as soon as Zhao Yun arrived in Zhang County, he immediately discussed with Zhao Yun about the night attack.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he agreed immediately, without even asking for a rest.
Because Zhao Yun understood Xu Da's meaning. For Qin Jun at this time, the most important thing in this night attack is time.
It is necessary to launch a night attack before the scouts of the Han army find out the specific situation of the First World War in Handan and report it to Liu Bang so that Liu Bang can order the withdrawal of the troops.
On the night of the eighteenth, the sky was clear and the moon was shining brightly.
More than [-] soldiers of the Qin army led by Xu Da and Zhao Yun divided into two groups, crossed the swampy land in the south, and reached the Han army camp.
When the soldiers of the Qin army passed through the swamp, they used the mud in the swamp to paste all their armor, knives and guns with mud to prevent reflection.
After noon, the two Qin armies touched the periphery of the Han army from the north and east.
Zhao Yun personally led two elite squads of the Qin army, entered the eastern camp of the Han army, beheaded several groups of Han army patrols, and sneaked into the Han army camp to provide cover for the Qin army to enter.
puff!
Following Zhao Yun into the camp of the Han army in the east, several teams of elite soldiers of the Qin army quietly cleaned up many Han soldiers, covering a large number of Qin army soldiers from entering the camp.
"Enemy attack!"
However, in the end, Zhao Yun was discovered.
"The army is attacking, kill this general!"
After Zhao Yun was discovered, he simply stopped sneaking around and directly led an army of [-] Qin troops to cull them in.
"The Qin army is attacking, defend against the enemy!"
Immediately, there were screams and roars in the camp of the Han army in the east, and the fighting between the two sides began.
