How a 25-Year-Old Warlord Defied an Empire: The Battle of Jùlù

Last time we saw how the Qin dynasty rose to power with ruthless efficiency, burying hundreds of thousands alive at Chǎngpíng. But history doesn’t let anyone sit on the throne forever. Because just a few decades later, at a battle called Jùlù (鉅鹿之戰), a young and furious general Xiang Yu—barely twenty-five—would take the fate of China into his own hands… and flip the empire upside down. 00:00 - Battle of Julu 00:38 - Qin Dynasty 01:39 - Song Yi 宋義 02:18 - Xiang Yu 項羽 03:38 - Fight's On! 04:22 - 破釜沉舟 pò fǔ chén zhōu 05:12 - 坐壁上觀 zuò bì shàng guān 05:36 - 以一當十 yǐ yī dāng shí 07:01 - Final Thoughts ☕️Learn about DAYES Enzyme Fermented Coffee.
