The elite troops under Xiang Yu's command, along with the elite cavalry under Yan Zhao and the elite cavalry selected from Xiong Wu's command, totaled 30,000 men.
The breakout of these 30,000 people did not actually require any special troop deployment or formation.
While others focused on military strategy and tactics when deploying troops, Xiang Yu only had one word: recklessness!
He led his army on a relentless rampage, fighting his way through to the very end, and yet he won every battle.
Such crude tactics were practically provoking every general's bottom line, but Xiang Yu was just that unreasonable, charging headlong into battle and still winning every single one.
With 30,000 cavalry following behind, Xiang Yu raised his Overlord Spear directly in front of countless Qin soldiers and roared, "The cauldrons are broken, and we have no way to retreat! Today's battle is a fight to the death!"
We've lost our cooking pots and pans, but the Qin dynasty has them; we've lost our provisions, but the Qin dynasty has them too!
"Follow me and fight your way out!"
The wind howled and thunder roared, and Xiang Yu's entire body shimmered with a layer of black and red light. As he charged forward on horseback, he gave the impression of a thousand troops.
At this moment, outside the Qin army camp, there was a high platform that had been erected.
On the high platform, there was actually a viewing platform, complete with beds and lounge chairs. A young nobleman dressed in black robes was lying on a chair, leaning against the soft chest of a beautiful woman in palace attire, and enjoying his wine.
He was none other than Ying Tao, the Qin army commander who led the campaign to suppress the anti-Qin alliance.
"My lord, those traitors have begun their breakout attempt."
A man dressed as a general walked up to the platform and bowed his head to report.
"I saw it."
Ying Tao squinted as he surveyed the massive, bloody battlefield that had been created by Xiang Yu's breakout.
"Who is this person? How can he be so brave?"
This kind of fierce general is no less than figures like Bai Qi and Li Mu.
The general glanced at them and said, "Xiang Yu of Jiangdong is the leading figure of the anti-Qin forces in Chu. His uncle, Xiang Liang, is no ordinary man either. The power of this uncle and nephew in Chu is no less than that of Xiong Wu, the leader of the anti-Qin alliance."
Ying Tao clicked his tongue and shook his head regretfully, saying, "It's such a pity that such a fierce general is not used by our Great Qin."
And Chen Zheng, that idiot, is so slow! The teacher asked him to get a Nuwa's Tear, and he's been dawdling and hasn't gotten it done yet.
After cursing twice, Ying Tao tossed the tiger tally to the general and said calmly, "Go, surround Xiang Yu and kill him. These traitors in the anti-Qin alliance are quite decisive this time. I thought we would surround them until they ran out of ammunition and food before they would choose to break out."
Xiang Yu's destructive power was indeed terrifying. He led his elite troops like an arrow, piercing directly into the Qin army camp and instantly tearing the Qin army formation apart.
However, the next moment, an endless Qin army surrounded them, instantly slowing down the arrow's advance.
This plunged Xiong Wu and the others into despair.
Xiang Yu was indeed invincible, and his subordinates were the elite of the anti-Qin alliance.
But were the Qin army not elite? That was the Qin army that swept across the six states!
If Xiang Yu is dragged here by them, they will all die!
Moreover, the Qin army and the demons of Lishan, who were surrounded by the anti-Qin alliance, also began to move out and harass the rear of the anti-Qin alliance.
Caught between internal and external attacks in an instant, the entire anti-Qin alliance was plunged into a predicament.
At this moment, outside the battle formation, Zhang Liang was intently watching the battle situation.
Although he had been taught military strategy by Huang Shigong, a master of the Huang-Lao school, this was his first time truly experiencing such a large-scale war, so he was inevitably a little nervous.
So he didn't immediately take action to rescue them these past few days, but waited for the right opportunity.
Seeing that Xiang Yu had drawn all the Qin army's forces to the west, Zhang Liang immediately said, "Yang Ben, lead the cultivators to attack the Qin army on the west side. You must cut off an opening for the Qin army that went to besiege Xiang Yu."
Your mission is not to kill the enemy, but simply to act as a thorn in the side, to divide the Qin army's battle lines, and to maximize the advantages of the Mohist defensive mechanisms.
Remember, don't be greedy and reckless. Your mission is not to kill the enemy!
"Shui Qing, divide your Shui family's elite forces in two. The archers and clansmen skilled in melee combat will follow our lord to directly attack the Qin army's central command tent. The remaining sorcerers will be under my command, providing support from the rear flanks in two separate engagements."
Shui Qing asked with slight confusion, "Didn't we come here to rescue the anti-Qin alliance? Why don't we just rescue Xiang Yu directly?"
Shui Qing wasn't distrustful of Zhang Liang, but this battle was also a gamble for the entire Shui family, so he was somewhat nervous.
Zhang Liang didn't take it seriously and kept a close eye on the battle, saying, "If we send reinforcements to rescue Xiang Yu, the Qin army will also send reinforcements to surround and kill Xiang Yu. That would mean both sides are using a piecemeal tactic."
But we only have so few people, how could we possibly defeat the Qin army?
So you can just do your thing and I'll do mine.
"As long as we can break through the Qin army's camp and kill Ying Tao, victory in this battle is assured!"
