Nangwa only now realized Zuo Sima's good intentions: the victory of the Chu army in numbers was not an advantage at all; Putting the two sides in a face-to-face battle would be a disaster for the Chu army; The enemy not only had the best tacticians, but also a peculiar branch of troops—an army of three or four thousand men led by Fucha—and the soldiers were swift and agile, with the qualities of middle-distance runners and combat experts, and they caused the Chu people a lot of hardship in their actions such as running, penetrating, and seizing the commanding heights.

In light of the above, Nangwa decided to focus on defense next. This order aroused the doubts of many officers, and some said: "Defense? Did we cross the Han River to show our defensive skills in front of the enemy? Does Ling Yin want to fight quickly or protracted? Don't take a defensive position in a quick battle, and don't fight a long time! 'One general is incompetent, exhausting a thousand troops. 'Ling Yin is undecided, is there still a fight in this battle?' ”

Emperor Shi did not want the above idea to become a knot in the hearts of the commanders, so he said: "Tactics must change with the change of the situation, and according to the previous situation, our army must of course fight quickly; But now that the situation has changed, the defense has become correct. As long as we hold out for five days, the enemy will retreat without attacking. Therefore, you should not arbitrarily discuss Ling Yin's decision, but only faithfully carry out the order. If anyone doubts that I am not telling the truth, I will not defend it; But my position is at the forefront, and I will die before you. After I die, you must hold out until the fifth day. ”

Early the next morning, the coalition forces marched out of the camp, ready to fight a happy battle. However, the Chu army kept reinforcing the fortifications and had no intention of going to war.

The defense line of the Chu army was built layer by layer with its back against the high ground, up to four, and supported each other up and down; The defense line is divided into three sections horizontally, connecting from end to end, echoing left and right; Shi Huang's line of defense was on the right flank, but it was closest to the enemy. He Lu was at a loss in the face of such a tight defense, so he summoned his generals to the front of the battle to discuss countermeasures.

Not long after he fled from the Chu State, Bo Yao knew more about the situation of the officials of the Chu State, and he said: "Emperor Shi's father was killed by the Fei and Yan rebels. Emperor Shi asked Nangwa for help at that time, and he was protected as a result; He was grateful to Nangwa and helped Nangwa to destroy the two clans. Emperor Shi called Nangwa as 'Ya Father', and was his best friend. Emperor Shi is not like those villains who climb up by drilling camps, he will really die for Nangwa. Therefore, the defense line that Emperor Shi is responsible for should be the most difficult to break through. ”

Wu Zixu said: "Then feint to attack the left and right, and actually attack the Chinese army!" ”

Sun Wu said: "We must also make a feint against the Chinese army, and we must pretend to be defeated and lead the sangwa to the ground." ”

He Lu nodded and said, "That's it!" Then the order was issued.

The generals accepted their respective tasks and immediately returned to their divisions to prepare for battle. He Lu began to beat the drums, and the drums of the various divisions responded, and Fu Ji was still responsible for attacking the enemy's right flank, and he divided the army into three parts, and ordered the first part to go around the enemy's flank, thus forcing Shi Huang to stretch the defensive line. Fu Xuan transferred the second part again, but Shi Huang transferred the soldiers of the rear defense line to increase his strength. The husband fought hard, and the casualties were increasing, and he had to slow down the pace of the attack.

He Lu also assigned half of the army to attack, and he left the rest in the camp and asked them to be ready for hand-to-hand combat with the Chu army. He Lu also encountered the same trouble as her husband during the attack, and the sergeants fought badly. He Lu has already made a lot of sacrifices, and he can only hope that Wucheng will be black. He then withdrew his troops, and the coalition began to retreat from the entire front.

Nangwa was overjoyed, and when Wu Chenghei saw this, he immediately tried his best to encourage him to pursue the enemy. In fact, Wu Chenghei is a complete double agent and opportunist: he secretly took refuge in the state of Wu, but he didn't care about victory or defeat; Because he thinks that whoever wins, he will benefit from it. He was just desperate to get the winner out as soon as possible, so that he could end the dangerous situation he feared as soon as possible.

Instigated to do so, Nangwa once again abandoned his original defensive plan and charged with drums. When Emperor Shi heard the sound of the drums, he turned his head to look in the direction of the Chinese army, and saw that the Chinese soldiers had already rushed down like fierce beasts. Emperor Shi roared hysterically: "What a stupidity! This is for fear that you won't be able to lose! The defeat of the state of Chu was not because the enemy was too strong, but because the commander was too stupid! The deputy general Ziran asked: "Do we rush or not?" ”

Emperor Shi left Ziran and the army of the last line of defense on the mountain, ordered them to defend the barracks, and led the main force to rush down.

The situation on the battlefield was immediately reversed, and the Chu army changed from a defender to an attacker. Nangwa thought that he could crush the enemy army in one fell swoop, but the remaining troops in the coalition camp were obviously fully prepared and waited for the Chu army to attack. When Nangwa fell into the vast sea of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, he found that he had been fooled again.

When the coalition saw the banner of Nangwa, they immediately rushed to him, like a piranha seeing a duck sinking into the water. He was frightened to madness when he was attacked on all sides; His guards did their best to fight their way through the hordes of predators.

Nangwa wanted to retreat to the Chinese camp, but the coalition forces had already attacked, and there were battles everywhere near the camp of the Chinese army and the left army; Now only the Shi Huang Department of the Right Army is still in the hands of the Chu Army. Ziran put the bag into the barracks, he arranged the defenses, and led a new army to help the Chinese army recover the camp. When the Chinese soldiers saw the arrival of reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted, and they shouted slogans to push the enemy down; But the left army camp was eventually lost.

The winter sun was especially merciful, and she sank below the horizon early, so that the brutal killing did not end too late.

The warring sides returned to their respective camps and sent rescue teams to the battlefield to search for the wounded and collect the bodies. In this battle, the coalition forces achieved a considerable victory (although their barracks were also greatly damaged, the capture of the left battalion of the Chu army was enough to compensate for the losses). On the other hand, the morale of the Chu army was still very high, and the sergeants felt that today's battle was not at a disadvantage.

Wu Chenghei is missing, I don't know if he died on the battlefield or if he has already surrendered to the enemy. But if he dares to come back, Nangwa will definitely take his life. Since the Chu army lost the left battalion, their defense line was torn apart, and the enemy army could surround the Chu army through that opening; Nanwa had to give the order to retreat overnight. The officers and men of the whole army dragged their tired bodies, supported the painful wounded, and walked silently in the vast night, with a little blood stained in the messy marks under their feet. The soldiers of the coalition army watched with mixed feelings at the illuminations lit by the Chu army as they retreated.
