A famous classical Chinese music. It describes a very famous war in 202 AD, in which Liu Bang totally defeated Xiang Yu and established Han Dynasty. In the war, Liu Bang's General Han Xin firstly pretended to be defeated in the first battle and withdrew. Xiang Yu did not realize it was a scheme and ran into the ten side ambush setup by Han Xin. Xiang Yu's army was cut into several segments. Xiang Yu tried to break out of the ambush with several hundreds of soldiers.
