Chapter 285: Chen Yu Dies
Chen Yu pulled his horse and looked at the Qin army in front of him, with a wry smile on his face.
"You are Han Xin" Chen Yu looked at the man in front of him and asked bitterly.
Han Xin turned the knife in his hand sharply, clasped his fists and said, "Han Xin, the general of the Qin infantry, has long admired Mr. Chen Yu's literary talent. It is a blessing to meet him today. If the gentleman can surrender, Han Xin is willing to give advice to the gentleman in front of Emperor Qin."
Han Xin was telling the truth. With Chen Yu's defeat, he believed that his position in the Qin army would rise. In a way, Han Xin was a little grateful to Chen Yu and was grateful for his stupidity in using troops.
The most important thing for a person is self-knowledge. If you are good at dancing and writing, don’t lead troops. If you are good at leading troops, don’t use art to dance and writing. Although the title of Confucian general is good, not everyone can do it.
Chen Yu is a literati, and literati are all proud.
"Chen Yu and Zhang Er fled out of the deceased Wei to assist the King of Zhao. The purpose was to overthrow the Qin Dynasty. How could they surrender to Qin. It just didn't want God to treat me so mean. First, his brother Zhang Er was mean and polite, and then King Zhao died in Handan. Now he was defeated by a little person like you who had never been famous. It was God that let me live, and I would never face the world again." Chen Yu looked down on his face, and he looked up at the sky. He originally thought he could see a blue sky, but he didn't expect a large gray cloud to float over his head.
He sighed, looked at Han Xin, smiled indifferently and said, "Since Chen Yu is defeated by you, I will use my reputation to help you." As he said that, he stepped out the long sword at his waist and crossed it to his neck.
The guards around Chen Yu wanted to stop him, but the master put the sword across his neck and no one dared to step forward.
Han Xin looked at Chen Yu and said loudly: "Mr. Chen doesn't have to do this. Han Xin's ability does not require others to fulfill it. It's a pity that your literary talent is ruined like this."
Before Han Xin could finish his words, Chen Yu smiled terrified. Wen Cai was yelling, and the sword was pulled, and blood flew in the sky, and countless red leaves fell. The guards beside him wailed and knelt down one after another.
Chen Yu's body fell into the circle surrounded by everyone, and blood surged out from his neck, and he saw that he was not alive.
Han Xin led his troops forward and seized the weapons of Chen Yu's personal guards who had lost the commander's intention to fight, and used ropes to connect them into a string. There were only a hundred people.
On the ground, Chen Yu's body gradually became stiff and became cold. Han Xin looked at Chen Yu's neck that was so sharp that his bones were exposed. He couldn't help but bare his teeth, clasped his fists and bowed to Chen Yu's body, then turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he said, "The enemy general's head can be changed, and whoever wants it will take it."
The fast-handed Qin army immediately raised their swords and cut off Chen Yu's head. They raised it high and showed it to the Qin soldiers around them, which caused the shock and laughter of the infantrymen.
Han Xin turned around and scolded the soldier who showed Chen Yu's head and said, "Although Chen Yu died, he can be thrown in the battle ahead. Since you have got his head, you will immediately rush to the front, raise your head to the public, and disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Zhao army. My Great Qin soldiers died less, which is a great contribution."
The soldier received Han Xin's reminder. He was overjoyed and agreed. He ran away with Chen Yu's head.
Han Xin and the remaining soldiers slowly walked towards the Qin army's main formation with less than a hundred prisoners of war.
Before, when Han Xin went to war, there were 1,000 Zhao uniforms and 1,000 Qin army battle flags among the military supplies with Zhang Han. When these things were in place, Han Xin selected the most powerful and nimble thousand elites among the five thousand people overnight, changed into Zhao army uniforms, and each of them was equipped with a Qin army battle flag. Han Xin himself carried his battle flag and lurked around Chen Yu's camp with this group of people.
In the morning, taking advantage of the chaos when Chen Yu ordered his troops to go out, Han Xin cleverly sneaked into the Zhao army camp with these thousand infantrymen. When the black army lieutenant fooled Chen Yu in front, Han Xin had already sealed the Zhao army camp. The remaining old, weak and remnants in the Zhao camp surrendered, and those who did not surrender were violently killed by him.
In half an hour, a thousand tiger-and-wolf-like soldiers controlled an empty camp loaded with 40,000 people. One by one, the battle flags were erected in the Zhao camp in high profile by Han Xin and his high-profile manner, fluttering in the wind.
This is a plan to fight, the so-called superior army to attack. Han Xin used this technique of making war in this battle with great exquisiteness, which made Chen Yu's 40,000 army collapsed by his 5,000 infantrymen in a nervous state.
As a war-going general, Zhang Han would naturally not take a chance to get into the crash. Seeing that the Zhao army retreated, the army immediately dispatched.
Han Xin knew that as long as he succeeded in stealing the camp, the battle would achieve the expected results. So he had told the Black Army that once he saw the black flag of the Qin army raised from the Zhao army, he would immediately make a statement and then attack with the army.
In this battle, Han Xin declared that only 5,000 people could destroy Chen Yu's 40,000 Zhao army. In fact, he calculated every step and successfully defeated Chen Yu's military morale. He also calculated that once the Zhao army showed signs of collapse, Zhang Han and others would definitely attack and seek credit, and successfully mobilized tens of thousands of troops from the Qin army.
Military speaking, this is a kind of leverage to fight. In this war, his five thousand infantrymen died without death. If a rough-handed soldier fell from above and injured him while stealing the camp, and adding one wounded person to him, he would have created a war miracle with absolutely zero casualties.
When Chen Yu's head was raised high by the infantry who drove back and ran outside the battle formation, the Zhao army completely gave up resistance.
The head of the chief general was hung on the opponent's side, and it was meaningless to continue this battle. Under the shouts of the Qin soldiers, all the Zhao troops knelt down one after another, and threw swords, guns, swords and halberds all over the ground.
In this battle, the Qin Dynasty completely annihilated 40,000 Zhao troops at the cost of losing less than a thousand people, and even killed the Zhao army chief Chen Yu, which was a real victory.
Unfortunately, although Zhang Han led all the generals to pursue the victory, this great victory had nothing to do with them. Because this victory was created by the five thousand infantrymen led by Han Xin.
After today, Han Xin will surely become famous in the army. Han Xin's prestige will be invincible.
Zhang Han and others had to admit that the second emperor was so sensible that he actually judged from the sentence before the death row prisoner was sentenced to a famous general on the battlefield. I am afraid that only gods can have this kind of judgment.
"The emperor, only the emperor can have such superb judgment. Otherwise, who else can do it?" Zhang Han sat on the war horse and looked at the surrounding Qin soldiers driving away the surrendered Zhao army captives.
According to his idea, even if Chen Yu could be eliminated, he would be delayed here for three or five days. Unexpectedly, Han Xin destroyed the 40,000 Zhao troops in one day and one night. Moreover, there were not many losses in the war, and they were all prisoners.
Looking at Han Xin who was walking back step by step in the distance and the Qin infantry behind him, Zhang Han jumped off the back of his horse, straightened his helmet, stepped forward to greet him, clasped his fists and said, "General Han Xin's great victory has opened Zhang Han's eyes. Please give me a bow."
The marshal was like this, and the other generals followed him with fists and saluted, but none of them did not accept Han Xin's military service. Those who were as proud as Li Jian were convinced. Han Xin's combat power may not be as good as him, but the military methods were far beyond Li Jian's ability and will not be continued.
