Julu

The Battle of Julu was fought in 207 BC in Central Plains during the Qin era, a land engagement against Qin. It ended in victory for the Chinese side.

Historical Note

Xiang Yu sank his own boats and broke his cooking pots so his men could not retreat. They smashed the Qin field army in nine engagements over three days. Qin would not last another year.
