Let’s talk about the Battle of Langya Cang. It was almost three o’clock. After a fierce battle with half a night, the Qin army left behind nearly 10,000 corpses. The 20,000 Chu army in Xiangzhuang also suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and basically lost its combat effectiveness.

When Wang Wei saw that the time was almost here, he ordered the South Gate and the West Gate to pour crossbow arrows at the same time, and shot for nearly two quarters of an hour. There were only the "Chu Army" hidden near the granaries in the battlements. The rest of the Qin army opened the Ximen and broke through. The troops of Yu Ziqi and Xiangzhuang were not strong enough to surround the Qin army, so he could only quickly occupy the battlements and sent someone to inform Xiang Liang to send troops to pursue the Qin army.

After receiving the news of the Qin army's withdrawal, Xiang Liang immediately dispatched 20,000 troops to go directly outside the west gate, led by Xiang Zhuang to pursue the Qin army. He led the central army into two groups, 50,000 troops were left outside the city, led by Yu Ziqi, and led 30,000 troops into the battlement.

It was already dark at this moment, and the special "Chu Army" in the battlements did not attract Xiang Liang's attention. They were urgently cleaning up the chaotic granary.

After more than an hour of sorting, the Chu army entering Langya Cang slowly arranged defenses and began to arrange rest and patrol on the eve of dawn. Xiang Liang was nervous for most of the day and was tired. He was lying down to rest. When he glanced at the fire outside the tent suddenly became extremely bright, he was also shocked. He walked out of the tent and saw that the granaries had caught fire...

General Xiang understood the layout of the Qin army in his heart.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

He immediately ordered the entire army to attack and fight out of the south gate and join the army outside the city, and at the same time beat the war drum as much as possible. Yu Ziqi also saw the rockets above Langya Cang, and then the extraordinary war drum sounded. Knowing that something big happened, he immediately dispatched 20,000 troops to lead Xiang Liang in person, and at the same time ordered the battalion officers to prepare for rescue at any time.

Wang Wei's "defeated army" was pursued by Xiang Zhuang for fear of his life, so he ran far away (retreat to Langya County). However, Zhang Han and Mengzhi's "grain transport army" were not far away. At this moment, a large amount of "grain and grass" were transported outside the south gate of the granary battlements.

The battlements of Langya Cang were filled with painful and wailing, and were in chaos. Xiang Liang led his army to a gray face and rushed out of the south gate. Less than a hundred steps, he found wood blocking it. The soldiers in front went over and saw that it was firewood and hay.

The soldiers were shocked and hurriedly reported to Xiang Liang. The sound of crossbow arrows sounded outside the west gate, and the sky was filled with "stars" rockets.

Xiang Liang was desperate and found that these rockets were not shooting at him, but were down less than two hundred steps ahead. However, when the rockets came down, they saw the fire rising from the sky illuminating the night sky, Xiang Liang was completely desperate...

When Yu Ziqi led the army to a short distance outside the West Gate, he saw that Langya Cang was already in full swing. There was also a large circle of fire outside the West Gate, and his army could not pass through it.

Based on his intuition on the battlefield, he knew that the Qin army's fire was to isolate him to rescue Xiang Liang in the past, and ordered the entire army to immediately put out the fire and approach the south gate, and at the same time, he ordered the rear army to come and cover his rear and flanks.

Zhang Han and Mengzhi found that Yu Ziqi's army was extinguishing fires in an orderly manner and strictly preventing sneak attacks. At this moment, their army was short of crossbows and arrows, so they went straight to the city of Langya County as planned...

Xiang Bo also saw the sky-storming fire in Langya Cang in Langya County, but he could not judge the situation between the enemy and us at this moment, so he could only strictly order the city to guard.

After a while, a large number of troops appeared under the city, which seemed to be in a mess, and there were also broken "Xiang" flags, shouting that they wanted to open the door and enter the city. Xiang Bo ordered the guards of the city gate to ask, and the people under the city said: "The general was ambushed by fire and the whole army was defeated. Please open the door quickly to welcome the general into the city."

Xiang Bo felt that these words were full of loopholes. Just as he was about to ask again, the rockets and crossbow arrows rang in the air at the same time. He also understood that the Qin army was under the city.

Before he could give orders, Xiang Bo hurriedly hid in the bush. When the soldiers around him saw the main general hiding in the bush, they quickly learned to hide. At this time, the Qin army's crossbow arrows did not stop shooting, but they did not appear on the top of the city wall, and they all crossed the city wall.

Some bold soldiers looked out and found that only the first batch of Qin army's crossbow arrows were shot, and the ones behind them were covered with guises. Now, ladders hung out of the city walls, countless Qin soldiers climbed up to the city.

When Xiang Bo saw that his only thousands of soldiers could not compete with the Qin army, he immediately organized his escape...

After nearly two hours, the hay and wood were cleared, and Yu Ziqi's army finally arrived at the south gate at dawn and saw Xiang Liang, who was seriously injured under the protection of his personal soldiers.

Zhang Han met Xiang Bo, who was not aware of military affairs, and easily took over the city of Langya County and transported the food and supplies he had originally transported to the city.

After repeated killings for a day and a night, the Qin army used fire to burn more than 40,000 soldiers and horses from Xiang Liang, and the Qin army also lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses due to defense.

The 30,000 troops that Xiang Liang brought into Langya Cang were almost burned to death. Although he was loyal to his personal soldiers, he was seriously injured. Fortunately, his life was safe.

At noon, Zhang Han was preparing to take advantage of the low morale of Xiang Liang's army and plan to immediately leave the city to encircle and annihilate Xiang Liang's defeated army. He came to report that about 100,000 Chu troops rushed to Langya County to the southwest, and the banner was filled with the word "Xiang".

Zhang Han was shocked when he heard the news and quickly ordered the tired army who had been transporting grain for several days or a day and night to rest, and closed the city gates and prepared for defense.

Thirty miles away from Langya County, Xiang Bo led the fugitive army to meet Xiang Yu's army retreating from the west. With Fan Zeng assisted him, Xiang Yu recruited troops on the road to grab food and grass, and the army recovered to about 150,000. After learning about the situation in Langya County from Xiang Bo, he immediately raised his army to surrounded Langya County.

When Zhang Han saw countless Chu troops suddenly appearing at the top of the city, he didn't say it for a long time, thinking about the strategy of repelling the enemy.

It is said that Ziying and Ma Xing brought Fusu's decree and Meng Tian's general's shogunate transfer order to send Hangu Pass to Wang Li to Xingyang. Han Xin was immediately ordered to hand over the defense to Wang Li, and arranged for Ma Xing to mobilize 50,000 troops to be responsible for the supply of food and grass. He ordered 30,000 troops and Ziying, Meng Xin and Ji Bu headed towards Langya County.

Han Xin and Ziying saw the tragic situation of passing by the old Wei Kingdom and the old land in South Korea being looted by Xiang Yu's army, and they all scolded Xiang Yu for being cruel butcher.

The kind Ziying ordered General Ma Xing to distribute some military rations to the people. The people along the way were all excited to receive Ziying's kindness and kindness, and welcomed the Qin army.

Han Xin originally wanted to ignore the people quickly. Seeing that the enthusiasm of the people delayed the speed of the army, he suggested that the army change its marching route and strategy, and stayed in the morning and went out for two days at night, avoided the people, and distributed military rations to the people to be carried out by the Ma Xingyun Grain Team behind. In less than a month, he entered the old land of the old Qi.

After entering Qi, Han Xin's army's route once again avoided the people's sight. Ziying, who had been on the army for the first time, was exhausted at this moment. He thought Han Xin would order the daytime marching to resume, but Han Xin still ordered secret marching at night, and was more cautious than before in Han and Wei's former place.

Ziying couldn't help asking Han Xin for the reason. Han Xin replied to the kind-hearted eldest son with a respectful reply: "When I saw the traces of the robbery of the Chu army along the way, it can be estimated that the Chu army is less than 100,000. Our army is short of troops. This time, we must accidentally break the enemy. Therefore, we must secretly hide the army to find the best fighter opportunity to defeat the enemy in one battle."

Ziying didn't know much about military affairs, so he felt relieved when he heard Han Xin's explanation and said respectfully: "General, Ziying has received teachings! All the actions of the army will be dispatched by the general."

Let’s talk about the city of Langya County, Zhang Han led more than 60,000 troops to defend the city. Originally, Xiang Liang’s army had already built the city to a very strong extent, so Zhang Han still ordered the city defense to be strengthened every day.

Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng met with Xiang Liang's army. After several days of rest, Xiang Yu was impatient to attack and capture Langya County. Fortunately, Fan Zeng dissuaded and Xiang Liang's forced orders to wait for the plan.

Xiang Yu waited in anger for three days and finally could attack the city. According to the plan, he was the main attacker in the north and assisted in the other three directions, but Xiang Yu ordered that even if he had strong attacks on all sides, Fan Zeng could not dissuade him, so he had to let him go.

In Zhang Han's army, Wang Wei was once attacked by Xiangzhuang from all sides in Langya Cang. He had a lot of experience in defense and was well-organized. In this way, the two sides fought for two days without any change. The Chu army suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and the Qin army suffered minimal casualties.

In the evening of the day, both sides were preparing to stop today's battle. Suddenly, Xiang Yu's horse exploration found an army appeared in the west, with flags covered with flags and the word "Ying" on it. The dust was flying behind it, and it was impossible to see how many soldiers and horses were there.

Fan Zeng immediately realized that this was the arrival of reinforcements from the Qin army. As for the words on the banner, there was no representativeness, and they were used to confuse the Chu army.

Fan Zeng made simple defense and sent a horse to speed up the military situation. When night fell, the new Qin army did not set up camp, but began to rumbling the drums of war and began to attack the west side of the Chu army.

Xiang Liang dragged his sick body that had not yet recovered and barely sat in the central army tent to listen to the military situation. Fan Zeng told the new Qin army that had been reinforced. Except for Xiang Yu, the other generals in the tent were confused.

Fan Zeng believed that even the horse probe had not discovered when the reinforcements came in advance, and the enemy situation was still unclear. All camps must be prepared and not attacked. They should respond to changes in the same way as they remain unchanged and use static to prevent them.

The night gradually began to get thicker, and the attack in the west was just a loud drum sound and intermittent bow and arrow shooting. No Qin crossbow attacks I encountered were discovered.
