In Xianyang City, Hu Hai was looking at the battle report sent from Chu. After throwing the bamboo slips with no more than a few hundred words in his hand on the dragon case with a bang, Hu Hai said angrily: "Zhang Han brought me one hundred thousand elite soldiers.

out

Unexpectedly, he only took down three cities at the beginning. Once he encountered resistance from the Chu people, it was difficult to advance on his own. A city of Surabaya blocked him for several months. Do I think too highly of his ability to lead troops?

?”

Hu Hai's words seemed to be talking to himself, but also to Ziying who sent him the battle report. Ziying looked at Hu Hai's face and then said cautiously: "Emperor, in fact, the people of Chu are indeed brave.

, and I heard that this time the Chu people had a rare unity and actually gathered 200,000 troops, so it is natural that General Zhang would be difficult to win. In my opinion, the emperor should send another army to help, so that he can

Assist General Zhang to quickly pacify Chu."

"But now there are not many troops available in our Daqin territory, and although Fusu has made peace with us on the surface, its intentions are still unpredictable. I have to deal with it carefully, where can I find another strong force?"

Where are the soldiers for Zhang Han?"

"Has the emperor forgotten the elite troops in Hangu Pass? There are tens of thousands of them, and their combat effectiveness is the highest among all our armies in Da Qin. Why not send them to help General Zhang at this time?

" Ziying suggested.

Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "These elite soldiers in Hangu Pass are the last guarantee of our Great Qin's territory. How can they be easily transferred out? The reason why the six countries could not do anything to our Great Qin back then is that apart from the strategies used by our Great Qin,

The steepness of Hangu Pass and the death of the soldiers guarding the pass are also extremely critical. My ancestors of the Great Qin Dynasty have left a message that the elite soldiers of Hangu Pass should not be allowed to go out until they are in danger. I cannot break this rule."

"Emperor, didn't General Zhang use them when he killed Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and other rebels last time?" Ziying continued to persuade.

Hu Hai explained: "Last time, the rebel army had approached Hangu Pass, and it was appropriate to let them go out to eliminate the enemy. However, this expedition has completely moved the foundation of our Great Qin to Chu. This is too much."

It's a risk." But it was obvious that Ziying's words moved Hu Hai to a greater or lesser extent. After explaining, he added: "Let me think about it again."

Seeing that Hu Hai's face was already moving, Ziying stopped pressing him and instead told him what happened in other counties. It wasn't until it was getting late that he left the palace and went to his mansion.

Go away first.

In Zhao Gao's mansion, Zhao Gao listened to the visitor telling him the conversation between Hu Hai and Zi Ying. He listened to the whole thing with a smile, and then said: "It's rare for Hu Hai to be able to stay sober now, but he

It is absolutely impossible to keep those tens of thousands of elite soldiers as the final barrier. Hangu Pass is only a few days away from Xianyang.

They got the news and came, and my plan was about to fail. Now I can only make my plan succeed by asking him to quickly transfer this army away from Xianyang." At this point, he said to the visitor: "

You go back and tell your master that you must ask the emperor to mobilize this army no matter what, otherwise there will be no need to mention anything."

The visitor hurriedly nodded and agreed, and then left the Zhao Mansion. Zhao Gao looked at the battle report in his hand and said: "Zhang Han, now I only hope that you can maintain this undefeated appearance in Chudi for a longer time.

!”

Jiang Huan marched forward again with fifty thousand troops, but the Qi soldiers now looked completely different from the lazy ones when they came. When they came, they were only ordered by the King of Qi to assist the Chu people. When they thought of rushing

When the time comes to fight against the wolf-like Qin army, I have no confidence at all. In addition, when I am not fighting for my own country but for an enemy who has just defeated me, the morale of the whole army is even lower.

. But because it was hard to disobey the king’s order, he

No matter how reluctant we were, we had no choice but to come. We just had to drag them along as long as they could, so it took them nearly half a month to arrive from Kuaiji to Surabaya, which was only a few hundred miles away. But now I heard that the Qin army was leading the way.

The army retreated, and they went to chase and kill them. Of course they would not miss this good thing, and they would be rewarded after defeating the Qin army, so their pace became faster, and 50,000 horses were like

They headed west at the speed of only 5,000 men and horses.

After a day of running around, they finally saw the dusty sky in front of them. It was obvious that two groups of troops were fighting. Jiang Huan saw it and said with great joy: "It seems that the Qin army has not been completely annihilated by the Chu people. It's just the right time for us to rush forward."

Give the Qin people a fatal blow!" After saying that, he ordered the most elite troops to rush to the front and launch an attack on the Qin army in the distance.

Liu Bang and his troops have been fighting the Qin people for three days. I don't know how many Chu soldiers died here in these three days, but now is not the time to worry about it. I can only save my life by gritting my teeth and holding on until the end.

At this time, Liu Bang just ordered a group of troops to go around from the side, hoping to attack the Qin Army's rear side, so that the Qin Army could not attack him from the front with all its strength. In the first battle with the Qin Army that day, their fish scale formation was a frontal assault.

It's almost time to

His army of more than 100,000 was cut into two sections. If he had not thought of countermeasures in time, he might have been defeated by the Qin army. Therefore, Liu Bang did not give the Qin army a chance to strike from the front, and continued to send troops.

from the other side

and launched an attack on the Qin army from a distance, preventing them from using the superiority of their soldiers to achieve an overwhelming victory. Fortunately, the Chu army had more people than the Qin army, otherwise after these days of attrition, the Chu army would also have

Defeated by the Qin army.

After Liu Bang dispatched a group of troops, he sat down and closed his eyes to rest his mind. During these three days, the two sides never stopped fighting, and as the general, he couldn't even take a break. At this time, he

Already exhausted, just take advantage of

The Qin army took a rest before they could attack. But as soon as he closed his eyes, a soldier loudly said to him: "General, there are scouts coming to report that a shout of killing suddenly came from the rear of our army.

Judging from the smoke and dust it brought up, there are probably tens of thousands of people."

"What?" Liu Bang was so shocked by these words that he almost fell to the ground. "Isn't the Qin army only one hundred thousand? Why are there tens of thousands of people behind? Is Liu Bang really going to die here?

" Thinking pessimistically about his fate, Liu Bang hurriedly followed the scout who came to report, and he still had a chance in his heart.

Fortunately, if the reinforcements from the Chu State came, he would be able to defeat the Qin army. Although he also knew clearly that there were no more soldiers from the Chu State who could go to the battlefield. When he arrived at the rear formation, he was the first thing that greeted him.

All he could see was the dust in the sky, and at the same time he could hear shouts of death rising into the sky. It was obvious that they were not far from here.

At this time, a scout who risked his life and watched behind ran back. When he saw Liu Bang, he shouted: "The general is so happy, the reinforcements from Qi have arrived! The reinforcements from Qi have arrived!" After hearing the news,

Liu Bang only felt that he was as lucky as crawling out from the pile of dead bodies, and hurriedly said: "Take me quickly to see the general who led the army." At this time, he had also seen the huge embroidered banner directly in front of the incoming army.

The banner with the word "Qi" was hurriedly greeted on horseback.

Jiang Huan also came forward. Before the two of them had time to exchange greetings, Liu Bang had already said: "General, you came just in time. Our army is inextricably linked to the Qin army. As soon as your army sends troops, we will definitely be able to defeat him."

These Qin soldiers were defeated."

At this time, Jiang Huan had also seen that the situation was not as optimistic as he had imagined. Not only did the Chu soldiers not have an advantage in the situation, but it seemed that they were being suppressed by the Qin army. But since he was already here, he naturally did not want to

Hui stood aside and watched the confrontation between the two armies, so he was not polite and nodded and said: "General, don't worry, our Qi army is here just to help you drive away the Qin army." After saying that, he ordered his subordinates.

The soldiers lined up in formation and prepared to charge.

"Wait a minute," Liu Bang hurriedly stopped him and said, "General, now your Qi army has become the key to the victory or defeat of this battle. We can sneak attack from the flank before the Qin army is aware of your appearance.

As long as you and I cooperate properly, these 100,000 Qin troops will definitely be defeated."

Jiang Huan thought it right. If he led his troops to attack from the flank, the Qin army's defense would not pay too much attention, and his casualties could be smaller. So he listened to Liu Bang's suggestion and quietly led 50,000 troops.

The ground changed its direction and moved towards the Qin army.

After three days of fighting, Zhang Han has found that the generals on the opposite side cannot compete with him strategically. As long as he fights a few more battles, he will be able to fully master the opponent's formation techniques and then be able to annihilate them in one fell swoop. Therefore, his

He was still very relaxed in his heart. At this time, he was talking to the captured Xiang Liang: "General Xiang, you have also seen that although you, Chu He, are outnumbered, you are still unable to compete with our great army of Qin. I advise you.

It is better to surrender to the Qin Dynasty, and then go out and recruit those Chu soldiers. I will definitely ask the emperor for your merits." In the past few days, Zhang Han has been persuading Xiang Liang to surrender, but Xiang Liang gave him

His response was just to look at him with cold eyes without saying a word.

"General, a troop from the Chu army has circled around our rear. Apparently they want to sneak attack us from behind while our troops are not paying attention." A soldier came to Zhang Han and said.

"Hmph, I ordered the day shift to bring five thousand people to kill them." Zhang Han said nonchalantly, and then looked at Xiang Liang: "General Xiang, you also saw that the leader of your Chu army only has this move available.

It seems that I can kill them all in less than three days." As soon as he finished speaking, another soldier came in hurriedly and said: "General, an enemy army of tens of thousands suddenly came from our army.

Attacking from the right, General Wang Li is almost unable to withstand the enemy."
