On the south side of Julu, more than 100,000 troops strangled together, dust flying.

The sound of the collision of weapons and the hysterical roars for living are intertwined.

Faced with the rebels and Chu army attacks in Julu City, the central army led by Zhang Han was struggling to support it.

Logically speaking, if the 80,000 central troops under Zhang Han were in formation and fighting, they would not be afraid of any army at all, but things were unpredictable. The front line of the 80,000 central troops was too long.

This gave the Chu army a chance to attack.

Under Fan Zeng's arrangement, Long Qi, Ying Bu, Zhonglimei and other five people separated the central army and formed five parts.

The only soldiers Zhang Han can command are the troops in the headquarters, and the remaining soldiers and horses fight on their own.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Han could command less than 20,000 troops in his headquarters at this time, and these 20,000 people were fighting against the 50,000 rebels in Julu City and the 25,000 elite Chu troops under Xiang Yu.

However, despite this, with Zhang Han's military talent, neither the rebels in Julu City nor the Chu army of Xiang Yu could shake Zhang Han's formation.

With these 20,000 central troops, Zhang Han stabilized his position and advanced, causing the rebels in Julu City to retreat step by step.

If it weren't for Xiang Yu's more than 20,000 Chu troops, Zhang Han would have defeated the rebels in Julu City at this time.

However, Xiang Yu is still the same Xiang Yu after all.

Under his leadership, more than 20,000 Chu troops bit Zhang Han's rear army.

"Send someone to rush out for me to see why our reinforcements have not gathered here yet!"

While waving his long sword, Zhang Han yelled at the deputy general beside him.

The deputy general was covered in blood and the sword in his hand was broken. It had been a long time since they sent people to convey the orders. Although it was not as good as the infantry army to arrive here, at the speed of the cavalry, he could reach the battlefield completely.

Zhang Ping has 20,000 cavalry under his command.

If these 20,000 cavalrymen were put into the battlefield, the war could change instantly.

Under the roar of the deputy general, more than a dozen cavalrymen broke through the encirclement and rushed all the way to the west of Julu City.

After rushing out of the battle formation, only two or three people survived, and the rest died halfway.

Zhang Han, who was in the central army, saw the cavalry that had been dropped one after another, his eyes were terrifyingly calm.

The reinforcements had not arrived yet, which means that they would probably not be able to come.

As for why I can't come, it may be because I encountered an ambush on the way, or it may be for other reasons.

Anyway, my situation is getting worse and worse.

Thinking of this, Zhang Han, who was riding on the horse, closed his eyes slightly.

Daqin...is it really finished?

Did the Qin army, which once conquered everything and was invincible, really defeated?

I, Zhang Han, are really powerless to make the situation come true?

Countless replies flashed through his mind, Zhang Han had no hatred or sorrow.

As a general of the Qin Dynasty, he has done his best.

.........

To the west of Julu, there are more than 20,000 Qin army elite cavalry stationed here.

Although there are not as many central troops as Zhang Han's command, fortunately they are all cavalrymen.

Originally, this morning, more than 20,000 cavalry led by Zhang Ping should have been chasing the rebels in Julu City.

Then cooperate with Zhang Han to attack the Chu army and then wipe out all the rebels.

But just as Zhang Ping was about to send troops, he suddenly found him.

This person is named Chongxin, and he is Zhao Gao's confidant.

His position in Zhang Han's army was to supervise the army.

Although he was nominally assisting Zhang Han in control of the army, he was actually monitoring Zhang Han for Zhao Gao.

The meaning of worshipping faith was very clear at that time.

Chongxin said that their 200,000 troops set out from Xianyang and suppressed the rebellion all the way to Hebei. Although you are Zhang Han's brother, all the credits are from Zhang Han.

Zhang Ping naturally didn't think so much. After all, it was Zhang Han who formed the criminal army. Zhang Han was the one who formulated the strategy to combat the rebellion, and even Zhang Han was the one who commanded the battle.

I am just an executor.

Of course, Zhang Han will be rewarded with the first contribution.

Moreover, Zhang Han is his eldest brother, so there is no reason to compete with him for credit.

But Zhang Ping had to consider the meaning of Chongxin's words.

Because of Chongxin's words, he was obviously a little dissatisfied with Zhang Han.

Now the person who is in charge of the Qin Dynasty is Zhao Gao, the backer of Chongxin. If he insists on his own actions and returns to Xianyang in the future, it doesn’t matter whether he has any credit or not, but he ends up with Li Si, it would be a tragedy.

Since Zhao Gao became prime minister, countless ministers in the court were killed because of offending Zhao Gao.

Which of Li Si, Feng’s father and son, and the Meng’s brothers is not a lesson from the past?

Today's Great Qin is no longer the original Great Qin.

Even if Zhang Han doesn’t think about himself, as his younger brother, wouldn’t Zhang Ping consider the Zhang family in Xianyang?

Moreover, if Chongxin exercises the power of the military supervisor, how can he be a small general in a confrontation with him?

Just when Zhang Ping was hesitating, the Chu army actually raided behind Zhang Han and launched an attack.

After receiving Zhang Han's order, Zhang Ping once again wanted to send troops to rescue him.

However, Chongxin stopped him again.

Chongxin believes that the enemy is prepared and may have a trap and will not allow Zhang Ping to send troops.

In desperation, Zhang Ping could only send someone to check the enemy situation around him.

Unexpectedly, Chongxin really made it clear that there were countless ambushers on the way they must pass.

"General Zhang Ping, at this time, no mistake is a merit. If you insist on leading troops to rescue, if you encounter an ambush, do you know what the result will be?" Chongxin looked at Zhang Ping with a serious face.

Zhang Ping frowned, thinking.

Immediately afterwards, Chongxin said: "As long as you don't send troops and wait for them to fight each other and lose both sides, you can reap the benefits of the fisherman. Isn't that good?"

"Zhang Ping is not greedy for merit, I just hope that my elder brother can come back alive!" Zhang Ping said seriously.

"Don't you know your elder brother's ability? He is the famous Qin general who led 200,000 Qin troops to defeat several times the enemy, and the remnants of Julu City, who are just his opponent?"

"this....."

Hearing Chongxin's words, Zhang Ping opened his mouth and wanted to speak but stopped.

Chongxin continued, "As long as General Zhang Ping waits for them to finish the battle patiently, he will be able to make a complete victory in one battle and be recognized by Prime Minister Zhao. Isn't that good?"

Prime Minister Zhao?

Then Zhao Gao really doesn’t believe his elder brother!

Zhang Ping thought to himself, but said in embarrassment: "Although the army Chongjian was appointed as the prime minister, my elder brother is the important minister of Your Majesty. It is a bit difficult for the last general to deal with it!"

“What’s the difficulty?”

Chongxin glanced at Zhang Ping disdainfully and said, "Who doesn't know that Prime Minister Zhao has the final say in this Qin Dynasty?"

As he said, his tone became a little cold: "I am discussing with you to protect your Zhang family's life. If you insist on doing your own thing and offend Prime Minister Zhao, you don't need to say more about the consequences..."

Hearing Chongxin's almost threatening words, Zhang Ping's cold sweat broke out on his forehead and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, what Chongjian Jun said is reasonable!"

...........

On the other side, Zhang Han’s army was in the formation.

"General!"

"General, please leave quickly! Reinforcements will not come. Zhao Gao wants the general to die!"

The deputy general, who was covered in blood and even had an arrow on his chest, knelt on one knee in front of Zhang Han's war horse, screaming in grief.

Zhang Han glanced at him indifferently, but did not respond, but turned his eyes to the battlefield of fighting.

At this time, the Qin army was on the verge of collapse and the Chu army was in full swing. If reinforcements were not coming, everyone here would die.

"Great General, let's go out!"

"Yes, General, it will be too late if you don't leave!"

A personal guards knelt on one knee and shouted at Zhang Han.

Zhang Han was unmoved and still looked ahead.

Fan Zeng's strategy was very successful. From the beginning, the army under Xiang Yu was divided into five parts to cut off Zhang Han's 80,000 central troops. In addition, the cooperation of the rebels in Julu City made Zhang Han attacked from both sides.

Zhang Han was unable to get help in time, which caused chaos in the army.

In addition, Xiang Yu's determination to burn his boats and die if he cannot win, the Chu army was greatly exerted. Therefore, facing numerous obstacles, Zhang Han's headquarters was eventually overwhelmed and collapsed.
