Several letters are dispatched in Xiang Yu's camp to make sure he receives one in person:
King Xiang Yu,

Your time is over: you have fooled the people of the middle kingdom for far too long it is time for you to face justice! You are well known to hide behind your men dispatching armies to conquer land instead of leading them. You are also well known for your prowess in single combat, but then again you hide behind your men and send your cousin taking the beat you should have. The Monster of Changsha is no match for you and you know it! The only thing you did succeed is to murder the Emperor, but this is also the thing that will stain your family name forever! Your incompetence has come to an end! I am offering you a chance to surrender now before your soldiers and your general witness your defeat and your lack of courage!

Here are the conditions for your surrender:

#All cities, town and villages will become under our control
#Your soldiers will leave all their weapon and armor on the field of battle returning home defeated: those who wish to join our cause will be integrated in the army
#Your civil and military officers will get one and only one chance to join a true leader those who refuse will be executed
#Your wife and family will be place under Tian Rong protection and your line will continue to live baring Tian’s family name
#You will become prisoner and be executed publicly for your crime
#Duke Hin Wu and his men will be allowed free passage into Liang
#King Baocen Peng and his men will be allowed free passage Nanyang

Marquis Ma Dieu
tactics will be send tonight

As the reinforcements poured in for the Hegemon King's great army, bringing badly needed foodstuffs and weaponry, Guan Huang ignored his own sides efforts to repair their devastated front line and instead spent his time casually torturing his prisoner Xiang Zhuang. Finally, as the sun was setting, he rode out past the myriad work details of men trying to gather wounded and galloped down to the foot of the hill.

As raiding parties thundered from Ma Dieu's camp into the night, hoping to devastate Baocen Peng's new supply trains, Guan Huang glared across the torn and corpse strewn-field at Xiang Yu's lines. With a loud voice, he began to repeat his earlier song about Xiang Yu and the Pig Men of Chu. He'd barely finished the first stanza when the front lines of Chu parted and Xiang Yu came hurtling through the gap, dressed in full armor and riding his glorious steed, Dapple.

With a mighty roar, he pointed at Guan Huang, "The Hegemon King comes to take your head! Tremble, bandit!"

Guan Huang, Duel Tactics please!

Guan Huang put his heels to Zhen and patted the Ogre's Axe, which hung from his saddle. This was what he'd wanted all along; to beat to death the most feared warrior in the world. His surge of adrenaline had him practically chuckling with glee as Xiang Yu thundered towards him with all the speed Dapple could muster. And that speed was impressive.

As the two men approached, both men pulled their bows loose. Guan Huang loosed, but Xiang Yu slid sideways on his horse. Guan's bolt flew harmlessly by, and Xiang Yu fired his own arrow upwards at the massive Monster of Changsha. With a whistling thump, it struck home in Guan's shoulder, and the big man was shaken in the saddle by the impact and sudden loss of feeling in his hand.

Grunting, he pulled his axe free and closed on Xiang Yu, who left his sword sheathed and instead pulled free his billhook. The two man hammered at each other, and it was soon clear what the Monster of Changsha's tactics would be. He would see the magnificent Dapple dead and Xiang Yu fighting on foot. The two men hammered at each other, and Xiang Yu's billhook flashed, deflecting attacks against Dapple and himself with equal ability as Guan Huang hammered at his defense. As the two men clashed, however, it was Guan's horse Zhen that started to tell, however. The massive warhorse outweighed Dapple by more than a hundred pounds, and only with the greatest care by Xiang Yu was he able to keep his feet.

At last, there was a slip in Xiang Yu's defense, and with a mighty roar, Guan unleashed a deadly blow at Dapple. His axe cut deep into the horse's flank, but at the same moment, Xiang Yu cracked Guan hard against the side of his helmet. As Dapple stumbled, Guan Huang started sliding sideways in his saddle. The two men fought for control, and against all odds, it was Xiang Yu who kept his feet, with Dapple struggling to his feet and ignoring his wound. Guan, however, was not so lucky, and Xiang Yu struck Zhen with his billhook, sending the Horse galloping away and Guan Huang tumbling backwards off the animal's back.

As Guan Huang rose to his feet, Xiang Yu calmly dropped his billhook and drew his sword. With a snarl, he pointed his weapon at Guan Huang. "Unlike my cousin, I don't dance with my swords. I use them to gut pigs like you."

With a rush, Xiang Yu drove Dapple at Guan Huang and started raining blows on the Monster's head. Guan fought back gamely, but he now had too many disadvantages. In moments, he was switching to defensive tactics and trying to cripple Xiang Yu. The attacks failed, and with a roar, Xiang counterattacked, beat aside Guan's guard, and drove his blade into Guan Huang's throat. He wrenched the blade from Guan's throat, and the Monster stood gaping at him for a moment in disbelief.

Then, with a spray of blood, he fell to the ground, dead.

Xiang Yu looped a cord around the ankle of Guan Huang, picked up his axe, and mounted dapple. With a sneer back at the silent army of Ma Dieu, he galloped back to his own lines, roping up the horse Zhen as he went. As his aides came to help him dismount, the army started a long roar in response to his victory.

Xiang Yu mounted a wooden platform on the rise behind his army and shouted in a great voice that was repeated by his officers.

"Tomorrow, men, we will treat the cold-blooded traitor Ma Dieu as I just treated his bandit slave! We will rip the life from his army, and butcher his men like hogs! One of his men passed up a spear with Guan Huang's severed head attached to it. He lifted it in the air.

"Death to Ma Dieu!" The armor roared in response.

Across the field, however, Ma Dieu's army was reforming its lines, and as usual, sending out large groups of raiding parties to destroy the supplies of the massive army facing them. Led by Tian Rong and Jing Yun, they tore through the new supply trains brought in by Baocen Peng's soldiers despite the efforts of Saofang Can. All night long, fires raged behind Xiang Yu's lines, and his men, even the new ones arrived from the West, had little to eat.

When the army went forward to attack Ma Dieu, though Xiang Yu led his cavalry, the duel he had fought the day before still fatigued him - and he left it to Ji Xin and Long Ju to try and shatter the lines of Ma's army. This time, the Marquis was able to get his spearwall in place behind Suo Yang's entrenchments, and they held against the mass of soldiers pouring in against them. Only a few could reach the line, and where they did, they were turned back with a bloody loss of life. Bodies piled in winrows before Ma Dieu's men.

As the battle raged, Huo Zhi Kai and Tai Ju Li launched their attacks on Hin Wu, who fought bravely to limit the damage they could do. Though his support troops took pounding from their hit and run tactics and Sun Chao's archers, he was only partially confused by their tactics.

They were relentless, however, and as Xiang Yu ground his exhausted soldiers to death against the immovable line of Ma Dieu's army, Hin Wu found himself increasing distracted by their attacks. Angered, he led a unit of soldiers out to chase Tai Ju Li - and found that he had done exactly what Tai wanted him to. An ambush sprang up, and Huo Zhi Kai came tearing in on his group in a rush, shattering his guard. Desperately, he turned to flee, but found himself dragged from his horse and bound by the two victorious officers.

Immediately, the support forces began to disintegrate. Zao Xuan and Saofang Can were trying to get supplies in safely, and Lu Chen strove valiantly to hold the force together until it became impossible under the weight of exhaustion and the arrows pouring in on it from across the valley. Cursing, Lu Chen took to horse, and vanished from the field. Saofang, seeing his flight, followed, though Zao Xuan attempted to save the lines, only to be seized by a raiding Jing Yun.

The front line of Xiang Yu's army, exhausted and starving themselves, finally broke under the raging demands of Xiang Yu to press the attack and began to melt away. Xiang Yu was left screaming his rage at enemies and allies alike, trying desperately to stem the tide. He began calling for Peng Yue to support an effort to rally the men, but found his second in command had already fled the field. Cao Can, seeing Hin Wu captured, tried to ride to his aid, but was dragged from his horse by Ma Dieu and Kong Ming and made prisoner, along with Long Ju and Ji Xin.

The Grand Chu army melted away, and Ma Dieu's forces began pursuing, capturing enemies in great numbers. For a brief time, Xiang Yu considered making an end of it - to fight to the end, but instead he turned dapple, galloped back to camp, found his courtesan Yu, his uncle Xiang Bo, and together they managed to escape the pursuit sent after him by Ma Dieu.

Zhu Lizhi and Ma Dieu have shattered the mighty armies of Xiang Yu, Baocen Peng and Hin Wu and captured Chu!

Re: January 205 - Cowardly attack on the Great Xiang Yu!

Post by Zhao Ren »

Tian Rong - Triumphant

He had journeyed far from his homeland of Qi over the past several years, first sent into exile by the Hegemon King, Xiang Yu, who did not wish him as the King of Qi for his refusal to aid his uncle, then now to escape the lethargic "Central Hegemon of Eastern Chu", the enigmatic Zhefu, who saw it fit to ignore him, it had been many years to this day, but now? Tian Rong was pleased. He had taken a chance, answering the Duke of Huainan's pleas for help (the fact he had been offered a Kingship in Yue only sweetened the deal), and thus had arrived in southeastern Chu on this crisp month of January. He watched as the Duke marshaled his troops, his leadership unparalleled by any that the head of the Tian clan knew. Would he see victory under the Duke of Huainan? Would he manage to regain the respect and fear that he deserved? Tian Rong had staked his life on it.

The campaign against Chu had began well enough, with the Duke of Huainan's grasp of strategy proving itself masterful. The feint against the major cities of Yangcheng and Guling had allowed his troops to link up with those of the Governor of Yin, Zhu Lizhi, preventing the Hegemon King from destroying their forces in detail. There, on the plains north of Guling, the armies of the Hegemon King and those who opposed him clashed for the first time. It brought a smile to Tian Rong's face to see the cousin of Xiang Yu fall captive, even if it was to the bandit Guan Huang. Surely that would strike a chord within the Hegemon King's heart. He always did seem to have a fondness for his kin. But if that did not move the Hegemon King, perhaps he would. Calling to him his steed, the barely broken stallion 'Fury', Tian Rong set out to do what he had been asked: bring ruin to Xiang Yu.

With the Magistrate Kong Ming at his side, Tian Rong had been assigned a small squadron of cavalry with which he could harass the enemy. Surely the Duke of Huainan did not expect the results he would deliver. Like a demon, Tian Rong raided the supply lines of the Imperial Army day and night, giving the men of Xiang Yu no reprieve. In his wake were burning camps and the remains of sentries and pickets, and before him fear and chaos were sown. Unfortunately for the Duke of Huainan, Tian Rong's successes were not matched with those of the rest of the army. The first few weeks of engagement had seen the Duke of Huainan lose over two-thirds of his main line, leaving the fate of his army direly in question. It made Tian Rong fearful, for surely all would be lost if the Duke did not prevail. Yet... the time was too late now to withdraw, they could only press forward and hope.

Reinforcements for the Hegemon King flooded in from the southwest and northeast, led by the King of Nanyang and the Duke of Liang respectively. Further bad news was delivered when it became known that the bandit, Guan Huang, had been slain by the Hegemon King himself, who seemed to take a special delight in killing the man who sung songs against his clan and captured his beloved cousin. Yet, rather than mourn the loss (the man was a bandit and self-proclaimed monster, after all), Tian Rong seemed... heartened, more determined to see the armies of Chu be driven before him. With all the armies of Chu assembled north of Guling, it was do or die. And like the tiger that he proclaimed himself to be, Tian Rong intended to fight all the more ferociously when cornered so, with success or death as the only options. And it was with this ferocity that he struck again.

Xiang Yu may have been famous for tactics at the battle of Julu, where he burned all his supplies, forcing his men to fight or starve, but here in Guling, the Hegemon King failed to produce the same results. Tian Rong fought like a madman against the supply guards of Chu, desperate to see that victory would belong to the Duke of Huainan. And with the spear, Tiger's Fang, all fell before him. He was unstoppable. The count of supply camps that Tian Rong raided while in Chu were too many for him to recall, too many to count. No, he seemed to be a man possessed, hardly resting as he planned and attacked the raids that would bring ruin to the armies of Chu. It was when the Magistrate Jing Yun brought before him one of Xiang Yu's supply officers, one Zao Xuan, who had been in service to the King of Nanyang. With a cruel grin, Tian Rong had the man taken away.

As the armies of Chu disintegrated, Tian Rong laughed manically, grateful that his gambit had paid off. He did not, of course, forget to take part in the chase, ensuring that many of these fleeing soldiers of Chu, Nanyang, and Liang would not return to aid the Hegemon King or any successors he had. Unfortunately, though the Duke of Liang was made captive, the Hegemon King himself had managed to escape, the Imperial Minister of Inspection, Lu Chen, as well. Yet, the number of captives was great, and the power of the Hegemon King was broken. In triumph, Tian Rong went to the Duke of Huainan, and once let past the guards, he offered a humble salute and said, "My congratulations, Duke Ma! The dog, Xiang Yu, has proven himself a coward and fled the field. The land of Chu is yours, and the hegemony of the Hegemon King is no more."

Suo Yang had fought hard in this battle, he did his best to hold the line in this battle like his previous one when he defended Yin. Though they took sevears lost, but they where able to hold while others burn the Chu's army suplys. As time passed, the ennemy's attack weakened due to there hunger. Now the battle over, he left the mens to the other officers who had acompagnied him to write a report to Lizhi, she always liked to be informed of things, atless when she was involved. As such near the end of the conflict, when Suo Yang knew it was now only a mather of time for the king's force to fall he managed to snuck out a messenger to tell her of the more then likelyhood of there victory. As he was writing it he heard some comotion outside in there camp. He whent outside and to his suprise he found Lizhi and her sisters there, she had actualy came all the way here. The small girl stood out quite alot in the camp. He imidiately whent to her and bowed.

Suo Yang: Lady Zhu!...what brings you here??

He couldnt hide his suprise, he never expected her to come here.

Lizhi: I came because of the report you managed to sent. I had to see it myself. And figured i would likely need to discuss things with Duke Ma, but before that, Id like to know how things whent after you sent the report.

Suo Yang: Yes my lady...

He gave her a quick sumery of how it had whent
(ooc:cant get in details since hasent been posted yet)
She was suprised when she heard him mention that Hin Wu had actualy been captured.

Lizhi: i see...so Hin Wu is amongs the captive?

Suo Yang: yes he is my lady.

Lizhi: well then....guess i was right to comme here then. Guess ill go see the duke then, will be nice to meet him face to face.

After behing told by Suo Yang where she could find him she made her way there. Once there she anounced to the guards herself before entering. Wich she gave a small bow to the Duke. And noticed she wasent the first here, though she didnt recognise the man. But he had to be some one of importence or he wouldnt be here, and so she gave a small bow to the other man aswell. She couldnt help but regret having left Suo Yang behind, he could have atless told her who it was.

Lizhi: Its a plesure to finaly meet you face to face Duke Ma. And to make your aquaintance...

Sun Chao 33160 (100) soldiers left.

Xiang Yu has 57877 (95) soldiers left.
Commander Chaos has 25063 (90) soldiers left.

% of contributions:

Soldiers for Ma Dieu / Zhu Lizhi => 54085 (63%) + 32011 (37%) = 86096
Arms:
Ma Dieu 1547 (64%) leather, 14248 (96%) bronze, 14145 (66%) spears, 770 (100%) crossbows, 853 (100%) siege, 2852 (37%) horses, 0 (0%) halberds
Zhu Lizhi 883 (36%) leather, 643 (4%) bronze, 7362 (34%) spears, 0 (0%) crossbows, 0 siege (0%), 4838 horses (63%), 368 (100%) halberds

Updated arms according to %

Total including spoils: 30259 Pi Spears, 2430 Halberds, 9234 Leather Armor, 23054 Bronze Armor, 9440 Horses, 5489 Bows, 927 Seige Engines
Ma Dieu: 19971 Pi Spears, 0 halberds, 5540 leather, 22132 bronze, 3493 horses, 2745 bows, 927 siege
Zhu Lizhi: 10288 Pi Spears, 2430 halberds, 3694 leather, 922 bronze, 5947 horses, 2744 bows, 0 siege (Phailak Edit for bronze armor corrected)

12148 (100) => 7653 (100) to Ma Dieu, 4495 (100) to Zhu Lizhi
33160 (100) => 20891 (100) to Ma Dieu, 12269 (100) to Zhu Lizhi

Ma Dieu's supply train remains intact: 10000(21)

Captives: 62910 (10) => 39633 (10) to Ma Dieu, 23277 (10) to Zhu Lizhi

Routed armies fall to 10 morale. Xiang Yu's armies are ALL gone, TC and Graven do get their soldiers back at 10 morale.

Graven original number 25302, 22%(/114540) and 2nd engagement number 17430 and 22% of (/79227) so final % is 14% of final engagement numbers
TC original number 45713, 37% => 5905 (57) was kept away from the battle so stay at 57 morale
Xiang Yu total numbers engagement 2 => 124940

So 57877+25063 = 82940 left after battle so Graven has 11612 (10) and TC has 30687 (10)

Arms:

TC had no arms so has nothing
Graven: 4357 halberds (66%), 188 siege (100%), 10994 bronze (40%), 630 horses (7%), 54 spears (0%), 7752 leather (51%), 0 bows
Total: 6641 Halberds, 188 siege, 27686 Bronze, 9141 Horses, 33476 Pi Spears, 15282 Leather, 12,166 Bows

Left: 15241 Pi Spears, 3018 Halberds, 10471 Leather Armor, 17582 Bronze Armor, 4357 Horses, 4299 Bows, 67 Horses, 67 Seige Engines
Graven gets: 1992 halberds, 5340 leather, 7033 bronze, 305 horses, 67 siege engines

If I don't get any complaints / questions in the next few days, this is what I will update. Of course, this doesn't take into account what Agon and Mardagg have has a deal in terms of spoils, soldiers, captives, NPCs and cities involved.

A single maroon banner struck its color against the horizon from the south, held at a slant by a wary guard. Ma Su had come to see what remained of the great province of Chu.

Arriving with only a small vanguard at his back, Ma Su rode up to the command tent of his cousin, picking his way through the mounds of corpses being piled up for burial or cremation. He had not seen such devastation since Julu. He saw a broken battle standard saying "Liang" lying on the ground, and picked it up as he rode past, folding its colors and putting it in his bag. Perhaps Hin Wu was not as capable as Xiang Yu thought he was to name him as successor.

He had not attended the battle with trepidation; this would have been a moment to shine. This battle will earn Ma Dieu's men great glory for years to come, and he was not there to partake... he had not liked the idea, but he had agreed to watch over his cousin's rear flanks while he engaged in this enterprise.

Once he arrived, he dismounted and waited to see if any of the allied army officers would show up. He waited for a few minutes before a clearly battered soldier came up to Su's group, and merely pointed the way to what Su assumed must have been where Dieu was.

After riding for a short while, he came upon a small assembly of soldiers and officers, and a woman as well, lacking military attire. He slowly rode up to the group and dismounted.


"General Ma Su of Wei." he announced simply. He would wait and see how things would play out.
