After the end of the Peng Ze Alliance, its leader Xiang Yan issued a unified order, calling on 500,000 coalition troops to launch an attack on Qidi.
For a time, 500,000 allied troops continued to march westward, and in a short period of time, the troops came to Yuzhang and Jiangxia two counties.
Its prestige first rushed to the land of Luzhou, followed by the coalition forces stationed in Yongxing and Jianchang respectively.
These two cities were the communication between Jiangxia and Yuzhang, and they were cut off at this time, which also shows that the connection between the two counties was cut off by the coalition forces.
At this moment, the situation is very unfavorable to the Qi country, and if there is no suitable plan, the coalition forces will definitely break through the defense line of the Qi army.
However, Gao Qi, the king of Qi, also made a decision at this time, on the one hand, he urgently ordered Wei Qingjian to clear the field and slowly retreat.
Retreat to the Baling area, hold on to Dongting Lake with its back, and echo with Yue Fei's headquarters in Changsha to resist the coalition forces.
Subsequently, he also ordered the general to conquer the east, and Qi Jiguang, the Taishou of Jiangxia, gathered the troops in the county and defended Jiangxia with all his might.
Converge with Li Jing, the governor of Luzhou, to ensure the safety of the northern part of Wangcheng Jiangling.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Qi also mobilized 100,000 troops from Wangcheng Jiangling, with Zhang Xian and Xue Dingshan as generals, and Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling and other advisers as the army, and came to Changsha and Baling in person.
This is the most critical crisis since the founding of the Qi State, and Gao Qi must pay attention to it.
Otherwise, I am afraid that this time the Qi State may not be able to withstand the large-scale attack of the coalition army.
This time, the forces that Gao Qi gathered to fight against the coalition army were the Jiangling army of Wangcheng, as well as the standing armies of various places, plus the Hunan army under Yue Fei's command.
Its total number of soldiers and horses is about 300,000, and the rest of the border troops in various places are still performing their duties to defend the security of various places.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Bowen, Di Renjie, Zhang Juzheng and other important ministers stayed in the court, calling the people, transporting materials, and maintaining logistics.
This battle will be the battle that will determine the national fortunes of the Qi country As Gao Qi personally went south, he finally joined forces with Yue Fei's department in Yiyang, Changsha, and then stationed in Liuyang, and stayed on the front line of Baling and Changsha with Wei Qing respectively.
Immediately afterwards, under the response of the Qi State, the leader of the alliance, Xiang Yan, saw the move, and on the one hand, ordered his grandson Xiang Yu to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to gallop south and launch an attack on the Lingnan Army.
The reason why he chose to attack the front line of Lingnan was also the result of the deliberations of the anti-kings.
The reason for this is that the Qi State has just pacified Lingnan, and its foothold in the territory is still unstable, and under the launch of a fierce offensive, it may be possible to open up a second battlefield.
At this time, the strength of the coalition army was relatively strong relative to the Qi army, and opening up more fronts would be beneficial to the coalition army and unfavorable to the Qi army.
However, the only drawback is that all the anti-kings are selfish and unwilling to give Xiang Yu too many military horses.
Therefore, Xiang Yu will lead 7,000 cavalry from Huaixi and nearly 20,000 Jiangdong soldiers to fight south.
After arranging the battle situation in the south, Xiang Yan also personally assembled an army with the anti-kings and went to Changsha and Baling.
The final destination of this battle is still in Changsha, as long as Gao Qi's main force cannot be defeated, then the meaning of the coalition army does not exist.
Moreover, in order to clamp down on Qi Jiguang's department in Jiangxia County, Zhu Yuanzhang also suggested sending troops in the Jiangxia area to contain Jiangxia County and avoid riots in the rear.
This suggestion was also unanimously agreed by all the anti-kings, and the leader of the alliance, Xiang Yan, sent 50,000 sailors to the army with Shi Lang, a general under Chen Youliang, to contain it.
For a while, it was the cold winter season, and the war situation in the north had long been silent, and they were preparing their armies to fight again in the coming year.
However, at this time, the territory of Jiangnan was lively and noisy, and the logistics materials from all sides were almost continuously transported to the front line.
A few days later, the coalition forces officially arrived at the border of Changsha and confronted the main force of the Qi army in the city.
I saw the continuous military tents of the coalition army, and the formation can be described as magnificent, the atmosphere is overwhelming, and there is quite a majestic situation.
It's just that Gao Qi has also gathered the main force here, and its defense line also stretches for dozens of miles, and its defense line can be said to be ready to go.
Xiang Yan, who was familiar with the use of soldiers, also knew that it was not a good way to attack by force, so he also chose to confront him temporarily, and then thought about countermeasures to meet the enemy.
Lingnan, Nanhai County The South China Sea, located in the central and eastern part of Lingnan, is considered to be an economically rich area in Lingnan, and almost supports the lifeblood of Lingnan.
Therefore, after Wang Xuance was appointed governor of Lingnan for his merits, he appointed Liu Renliang to defend the South China Sea, raise the army and raise the people, and guard against Jiangdong forces.
At this moment, Liu Renliang also received the news that Xiang Yu led 30,000 troops in the coalition army, which aroused Liu Renliang's meritorious service.
After consulting with his generals, he decided to go out of the city to fight and attack the attacking coalition forces, so as to increase the belief in victory for his own army.
In fact, it was the troops brought by Xiang Yu that made Liu Renliang eclectic and strongly went out of the city to fight.
According to the information obtained by Liu Renliang, Xiang Yu only led 30,000 soldiers and horses, which also gave Liu Renliang the illusion that he was not worried Therefore, Liu Renliang also thought about using Qujiang, the barrier of the South China Sea, as a point to eliminate Xiang Yu's army.
Under a resolution, Liu Renliang first ordered Wen to lead 5,000 troops to Qujiang to arrange, and strive to break Xiang Yu's army in a battle.
Wen Ping, originally Xue Rengui, who belonged to the Nanyang Group, but because Huo Qubing was good at cavalry raids, after the pacification of Lingnan, Gao Qi made adjustments.
Huo Qubing was transferred to Nanyang, and Wenpin was mobilized to the south as Liu Renliang's deputy, responsible for assisting him in holding the South China Sea.
"No" Hearing this, Wenpin did not disobey at all, and took the order, and retired in great strides.
Immediately after, Liu Renliang did not stop at all, on the one hand, he continued to reorganize the army, and on the other hand, he also informed the governor of the attack of the coalition army, Wang Xuance, so that he could prepare as soon as possible.
After nearly half a month of marching, Xiang Yu, as the main general, finally led 30,000 troops into the territory of Lingnan and attacked Nanhai County.
On the way, Xiang Yu did something in Nankang County, after crossing the Ganjiang River.

Xiang Yu gathered his subordinates on the other side of the Gan River, destroyed the ships in public, and ordered unnecessary military rations to be discarded, leaving only dry rations for a few days.
Then, Xiang Yu spun his sword around his waist, slowly stood at the highest point of the turbulence, and said in a loud voice: "Jiangdong sons, why did I, Xiang Yu, want you to destroy the ships and discard the military rations today. ” "Because, in my opinion, you are all Jiangdong athletes, and it is more than enough to deal with the rabble of the Qi army, and there are enough rations for several Japanese troops."
"I think that at the beginning, when there was a great chaos at the end of Qin, after the overlord of Chu crossed the Zhanghe River, he broke the cauldron and sunk the boat, which almost greatly increased the combat strength of his subordinates."
"In the end, the overlord of Chu also led his Jiangdong soldiers to fight against the water, defeated the Qin army, entered Xianyang, and divided the princes."
"Today, I, Xiang Yu, will also follow the example of the overlord of Chu back then, break the cauldron and sink the boat, fight against the water, defeat the Lingnan Qi army, recover Lingnan, and attack Xiangzhou."
"Brothers, we are all Jiangdong sons, how can we disgrace the original overlord and kill" Suddenly, Xiang Yu's voice was like a bell, and his momentum was very great, and with his incomparable body, it was even more unmatched.
All of a sudden, the general under his command, Long He, stood up and echoed: "The general is reasonable" "This time, our Xiang family army will be invincible, invincible, defeating the Qi army, destroying Jiangling, and capturing Gao Qi alive."
Immediately, the soldiers of the Xiang clan under his command were deeply affected by it, and they all shouted: "Kill, kill" After shouting for a while, even the thousands of war horses under Huaixi's command were also inspired by it, and couldn't help but roar from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, this move could be regarded as achieving his own goal.
In fact, Xiang Yu is also familiar with the art of war and is good at using soldiers, and he knows the difference in strength between his own side and the Qi army this time.
Xiang Yu knew very well that if he could not defeat the Qi army in one fell swoop, then once the Qi army was prepared, as long as he stuck to all parts of Lingnan and did not fight So no matter how Xiang Yu is attacking, he will not have a chance to break through the Lingnan front line and open up a second battlefield.
Therefore, after Xiang Yu meditated, Cai Yong's risky strategy was adopted.
It sounds very exciting, but it is a dangerous move, once the Xiang family army cannot break the Qi army in the shortest possible time.
After the Qi army is ready, then the Xiang family army will fall into a situation of lack of food, so that it will be self-defeating However, this can be regarded as a big deal by Xiang Yu, as long as he can defeat the enemy army, then all this will no longer be a problem.
Qujiang, Yinshan At this time, Wen Ping had already led the army to Yinshan and began to prepare to attack Xiang Yu's army.
Immediately after, Xiang Yu also led the army to gallop to its vicinity, as early as the beginning of the arrival, its tall, burly and unusually large general Long He reported the military situation to Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu, who learned about the military situation, immediately became active in his mind, and in an instant, he had a strategy to break the enemy and began to give orders.
"Xiang Zhuang, in the Yuzi period, the two of you each led 10,000 foot soldiers to quickly insert into the two wings of Yinshan to encircle and annihilate the Qi army."
"But pay attention, you must find that when the Qi army is panicking, it is launching an attack."
"Otherwise, you must not act rashly" After arranging the combat instructions of the two, he immediately continued: "Long And, together with this general, you will lead the war cavalry straight into the middle and take the Qi army directly with the force of strong push." ” "Be sure to cut through the enemy's formation" "No" Suddenly, the number of generals did not hesitate and directly received the order.
With the order issued, Xiang Yu had a black horse in his crotch and held an overlord halberd, which can be described as a majestic and menacing instrument.
The dragon beside him also had a fanatical will to fight, and the thousands of war horses behind him were like wolves drinking blood, staring at the Qi soldiers.
It felt like the wolves were so happy when they saw the sheep.
"Jump, jump" Suddenly, Xiang Yu led the battle horse into the Qi army formation in an instant.
At this moment, the Qi soldiers were standing among the war horses, without the power to resist, and their military formations were gradually being chiseled through and disintegrated.
In fact, this is also Wenpin's negligence, one is that he has not yet constructed a good line of defense, and the other is that he has neglected Xiang Yu's strength.
In this short moment, Xiang Yu had already relied on his own courage to lead the war horse into the Qi army's formation.
In addition, there is also a fierce general Long He next to him, which makes the situation of the Qi army even worse.
Under the fierce battle, the battle situation of the Qi army became more and more unfavorable, and the soldiers of the Qi army became more and more panicked.
It happened that the roof leak happened to be rainy and rainy, just when the Qi army was unable to resist the impact of the war horses.
At this time, Yu Ziqi and Xiang Zhuang each led 10,000 foot soldiers to outflank the two wings.
Suddenly, the situation of the Qi army became more and more unfavorable, and its defeat seemed to be summoned by the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty :
