Most of the 50,000 Han troops were killed in Yunmengze, and the remaining small number were captured.
Only a handful of people at the back of the team were able to escape.
All food and livestock were seized.
The prisoners of the Han army were first centralized and detained on a small island in Zezhong, and then transferred to Jiangling City in batches.
Zhou Yin was tied up and escorted to Xiang Yu.
Although Zhou Yin was vicious and fierce, he was like a mouse to a cat in front of the Overlord.
He knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and did not dare to say a word.
Xiang Yu said indifferently, "Zhou Yin, what else do you have to say."
Zhou Yin originally thought that the Overlord would ask him why he wanted to rebel, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't mention it at all.
Knowing that he would not survive, he raised his head sharply, stared at Xiang Yu and said, "If a man dies, you will die.
Give me a good time."
"No.
It's not because you betrayed me, but because you massacred six counties and Chengfu.
Someone, pull this thief down and cook him."
Xiang Yu said coldly.
The soldiers of the Chu army who had been waiting on both sides stepped forward and carried the ashen-faced Zhou Yin down.
The executioners were all selected from the six counties and Chengfu clans.
They would never kill Zhou Yin directly.
Ding, the temporary mission "Kill the traitor general Zhou Yin" is completed.
Congratulations to the lord for getting 3000 mission reward points.
Xiang Yu left Jibu to guard Jiangling, and conveyed the order of Linjiang King Gongwei to the surrounding counties and counties, ordering all counties and counties in Linjiang Kingdom to obey the overlord's orders.
Then he took 20 centipede ships, more than ten scorpions, 200 soldiers and warriors, and 300 blast archers down the river and rushed back to Jiangxia.
Liu Jia caught up with the remnants of King Linjiang in Jiangxia, but he did not dare to take action rashly.
The city wall of Jiangxia is tall and has a wide moat.
The most important thing is that the remnants of the Gongwei troops joined forces with the Jiangxia garrison.
Mao estimated that there were at least 20,000 people and no warships.
Under this situation, if Jiangxia is attacked forcefully, it will definitely result in a bloody head injury.
He had no choice but to sail his huge fleet to the border of the Hengshan Kingdom on the other side, and set up camp at the mouth of the Han River at the former Hengshan Naval Camp, confronting the Chu army across the river, looking for an opportunity to fight again.
But soon, news of the fall of Jiangling came, which hit him hard.
Then he learned the news that Zhou Yin's 50,000-strong army had been destroyed, which made him even more afraid to go to war rashly.
The whole army huddled in various camps at the mouth of the Han River.
Having learned the lesson from the last time the Hengshan National Navy camp was attacked by the Chu army, several camps were set up around the mouth of the Han River.
Sentries were posted up and down the river for more than ten miles around the clock, and reconnaissance teams and cavalry patrolled the river all day long.
The warships in the naval camp are loaded with soldiers all day long.
It can be said that water cannot be poured in and a needle cannot be inserted.
In Jiangxia, in the Chinese army's tent, Xiang Yu is convening a military meeting.
We have an in-depth understanding of these conditions in the Han army camp.
"The baggage and grain that Liu Jia brought with him should have been almost consumed in so many days.
Then where did the supplies for Liu Jia's 50,000-strong army and Hengshan's army stationed at the mouth of the Han River come from?
They should have been supplied by several counties in the north of the Yangtze River in the Hengshan Kingdom.
No way.”
Xia Yue replied: "It is indeed as the king said.
According to the scouts' reports, the Han camp now relies on the Han River to transport grain and grass from Xiangyang to the south."
"In other words, as long as we cut off the Han River waterway or gain control of the waterway, Liu Jia's 50,000-strong army will be trapped in a shortage of food and grass.
To cut off the Han River waterway, Liu Jia's Bashu Navy must be defeated.

Xiang Yu said slowly.
"But now the Bashu Navy can't retreat, and if we let the Centipede ship enter the narrow waterway of the Han River, it won't be able to use the collision expertise of the Centipede ship."
A naval captain under Xia Yue expressed doubts.
Xiang Yu and his generals once again climbed to the top of Jiangxia City and looked across the river.
In a vast swamp on the left side of the Han River, there are two intermittent sandbars formed by alluvial sediment.
They form the two water banks of the river and the Han River.
Where they intersected, a lonely hill about a hundred meters high emerged from the water, which caught Xiang Yu's attention.
If he remembered correctly, it should be Guishan Mountain at the mouth of the Han River, also known as Yiji Mountain in ancient times.
This mountain is facing the naval camp of the Han army.
"What's the name of that solitary mountain?"
Xiang Yu asked, pointing to the mountain.
"Your Majesty, the name of this mountain is Yiji Mountain."
"I already have a strategy to defeat the enemy.
Send the order and summon the craftsmen to collect egg-thick bamboo poles and clay."
Xiang Yu said with a smile.
Xia Yue and the surrounding generals and officials were all stunned.
They didn't know what new tricks the Overlord had.
No matter how they thought, they couldn't connect the bamboo poles, clay and the strategy to defeat the enemy.
The sun has been shining brightly for many days in a row, and it’s another month-long star-studded night.
Under the moonlight, twenty centipede ships and thirty cockroach warships quietly sailed out of the Jiangxia Navy camp and crossed to the other side of the river.
But the target is not the right bank of the Han River but the left bank, the Turtle Mountain standing alone in the water.
The Han army also set up an observation post and beacon tower on Yiji Mountain, overlooking the river from a high position.
However, because this stronghold was located on the left bank of the Han River, the upper echelons of the Han army did not pay much attention to it.
The soldiers were all old and weak.
If it were not for the fact that it could climb high and see far, this stronghold would not be set up.
On the top of the mountain, an old soldier who had woken up from the night kicked a little soldier who was dozing off, and cursed: "Be more energetic, if something goes wrong, we won't be able to return to Shu."
Then facing the river, he untied his belt and peed.
One dip.
Suddenly, he seemed to see the dark shadows on the river approaching the foot of the mountain.
He thought he was dazzled, shook his head, looked carefully again, and then shouted loudly: "An enemy is coming!"
A big sword swung and cut his throat, and he fell down with his hand covering his bleeding neck.
The soldier not far from him had also fallen to the ground, with an arrow stuck in his face.
Dozens of soldiers and warriors quickly rushed to the temporary barracks of the Han army's stronghold and killed all twenty Han soldiers in the stronghold in a matter of seconds.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of Chu soldiers carried things from the boats at the foot of the mountain to the platform where the stronghold was located.
One installation rack is good.
It turned out to be bed crossbows disassembled from the Centipede ship.
In a short time, one hundred and sixty bed crossbows were lined up.
From here, you can overlook the Han Army Navy Camp opposite.
The camp is brightly lit and maintained on high alert.
The bed crossbow in the middle began to test fire.
The "tip" of a specially made crossbow gun coated with igniting material was ignited and fired towards the Han Navy Navy Camp.
In a sentry outside the Han army camp, a Han army soldier patted another man on the shoulder and said, "Look, meteors."
Then they saw one after another meteors flying towards the camp.
After watching for a while, another person said in surprise: "It doesn't seem to be a meteor, it's a rocket."
“Can a rocket shoot so far?

" The test-fired bed crossbow was fired seven times.
The first four times, the crossbows fell into the Han River or outside the camp.
The last three times, they all fell onto the decks of ships neatly arranged at the pier.
Only then did we determine the approximate shooting angles of the crossbow's vertical and horizontal sides.
The effective range of bed crossbows for armor-piercing crossbows is just over two hundred meters.
The existing special bamboo crossbows fly over the Han River more than two hundred meters wide and shoot at Han River more than three hundred meters away.
The military and navy camps are not a problem at all.
After obtaining the shooting angle, the soldiers operating the bed crossbow began to adjust the shooting angle of the bed crossbow together.
These bed crossbows designed by Xiang Yu are equipped with dials, which can easily adjust the left and right and up and down angles
