Chapter 1417: The World of the Han Flag (107) The Great Detour (II)

Huang Zhong, the commander of the infantry battalion on the left wing of the Chu army, got up in the morning and set out for the camp, Huang Zhong's right eye kept jumping, which made him quite uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that something would happen. Last night, the cavalry responsible for protecting his flank galloped to the right wing battalion, originally according to his intention, it was to wait for the cavalry to return in place, and then pull out the camp and advance, but the order from the Chinese army battalion was very urgent, and there was intelligence that the main force of the first army of the Han army was also advancing towards Wuguan, in order to recapture Wuguan and open up the passage for the return of the 200,000 army, Qu Wan could only give an order to let them advance at full speed. If the Han reinforcements are allowed to arrive first, Wuguan will become an insurmountable danger.

Huang Zhong was very aware of the danger of Wuguan, at first he didn't quite understand why in a short period of time, Zhang Qian actually lost Wuguan, but in the past few days, information has come one after another, and the latest weapons of the Han army, artillery, began to appear in their field of vision, and the Qin army, which has been following them, is also very generous to share this information with them. Because the Qin army also had several of these cannons, it is said that they were captured from the Han army.

Hearing the power of this kind of artillery described, Huang Zhong couldn't help but be very annoyed for a while, since the rise of the Han Kingdom, novel inventions one after another, Qin and Chu, with their back, tired of running and difficult to catch up, finally obtained gunpowder, made a clay pot grenade, changed to a trebuchet to throw explosives bags, and also thought that the Han Kingdom was just like this, but the fact is always disappointing, the birth of artillery, so that Qin Chu was thrown far behind.

The Han army has always been at the forefront of military invention, and they have been constantly changing the pattern of warfare in this world. For a veteran like Huang Zhong, he is very disgusted, what he is familiar with and relies on is now completely behind the times, the new mode of warfare. so that he cannot understand, cannot grasp.

The 40,000 army marched forward, and the team marched along the road under the Sheephorn Ridge like a long snake, and then moved forward dozens of miles after crossing the Sheephorn Ridge, which was regarded as entering the area of Wuguan, and the war was about to officially start. The vanguard force is now invisible, and in the middle of the ranks is the logistics baggage troops, and the army behind the palace is still cleaning up the camp at this time.

Over Giethoorn Ridge. It's safe. The cavalry unit of the Han army, which had been watching him on the side, somehow passed through his warning area, and suddenly appeared on Bai Xizhong's side, Huang Zhong could imagine Bai Xizhong's anger at the moment, maybe after joining forces with General Qu, the first thing that guy did was to sue himself.

It should be safe today, stretched out his hand and pressed his right eyelid that kept jumping, Huang Zhong thought in his heart, the Han cavalry fought with Bai Xizhong for most of the night yesterday. They are human beings, not gods, and they need to rest. What I have to do is to pass through Giethoorn as soon as possible.

The Han army of hundreds of thousands suddenly launched a full-scale attack on the state of Chu, while the main force of the state of Chu was isolated in the state of Qin. This situation made Huang Zhong uncertain, at least in terms of grand strategy, the state of Chu had already lost even his underwear, and the Han people planned this strategy. It was by no means a temporary idea, it must have been planned for a long time, but Chu Guo knew nothing about it. even wishful thinking that Han would definitely deal with the Qin State first, and only after destroying the Qin State would the spearhead be aimed at the Chu State. The state of Chu will take advantage of this rare buffer time to continuously strengthen its own strength, so that the Great Chu and the Han State can confront each other in the north and south and compete for hegemony in the world.

It was for this reason that the 200,000-strong army suddenly attacked the Qin State, and now it seems that the Han people even calculated the reaction of the Chu State clearly, such a mental trick is really frightening.

Will Chu win this battle? If it loses, the state of Chu will cease to exist.

Huang Zhong, who looked down and thought about it, didn't notice that the outpost he set up on Sheephorn Ridge was shaking the flag desperately, until the deputy general beside him reminded him with a frightened face, he raised his head, and on the top of the mountain, the banner danced desperately, and then, a terrible horn also came, from Sheephorn Ridge down in turn, and instantly spread to his palace troops.

This is a warning that the enemy is coming.

The blood on Huang Zhong's face faded clean, enemy, where did the enemy come from? But then, the tremor of the ground made him understand that the attacking enemy was the cavalry, the cavalry of the Han Chinese.

How did they hit Bai Xizhong in one night, and then run to their side? Or Bai Xizhong was deceived by the enemy at all, but the harassment of a small group of enemies made him mistakenly think that a large group of cavalry was attacking, so as to send a rescue message, so that the cavalry on his side desperately rushed over.

The tremor on the ground was even stronger, and the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground like thunder sounded, and time didn't allow Huang Zhong to think about anything, "Array, array, meet the enemy." Cover the baggage and the vanguard! He roared loudly. If the army behind the palace can't stop the impact of the enemy's cavalry, the baggage troops and the vanguard troops who are marching, under the impact of the cavalry, what the consequences will be is self-evident, as soon as he thinks of this result, Huang Zhong feels that his scalp is exploding.

The troops of the Royal Highness lined up as fast as they could in their lives, but the terrible thing was that their long-range weapons and other heavy guys that could stifle the onslaught of the cavalry had already been packed at this moment, and with the departure of the heavy troops, the only thing they could use to resist the onslaught of the enemy was the spears in their hands, and the bows and arrows that were much less powerful.

The reaction of the Chu army was already very fast, at least the time when they formed a military formation was a few points faster than Huang Zhong expected, but Huang Zhong was not happy at all, because at this time, he had already seen the Han cavalry rushing over the mountains, the Xiongnu Independent Cavalry Division, and the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division, these two Han cavalry all appeared in front of him.

"Archer, prepare!" In the middle of the ranks, there was the hoarse roar of the officers, and Huang Zhong's face was pale, standing under the banner of the Chinese army, his hand tightly holding his saber, and it was vital that he could block the enemy's most ferocious first wave of attacks. Originally, this was supposed to be the time for heavy weapons such as bed ballistae and stone cannons to launch a suppressive attack, but now, there was nothing.

There was a sound of collapse, and the rain of arrows flew out of the military array, shooting at the Han cavalry like raindrops, the power of this diffuse, for the cavalry, the power is not too great, unless an arrow hits the vital point, in order to make the other party lose its combat effectiveness, otherwise, the cavalry with more than a dozen arrows on the body is still charging this kind of scene, in every battle, it is not an uncommon thing.

Agu Yong rushed to the forefront again, but at this time, instead of wielding his sword, he held a grenade in his hand, a torch in the other, and seven or eight other grenades of the same kind hung from his waist.

Agu Yong led this errand, selected hundreds of cavalry with strong arms, wearing good armor, they rushed to the front of the team, the Han cavalry seemed to rush over the mountains, in fact, the hundreds of soldiers at the front and the large army behind them, at least opened a stone's throw away.

Agu Yong lowered his head and rode his horse at a gallop, and the sound of clanging bells came from time to time, it was the sound of the air feather arrow hitting him, but it was difficult for the opponent's arrow to break through his armor, as the son of Agu Huaien, it was not difficult for him to get a high-end cargo for him.

There was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in his ears, and an unlucky brother fell from his horse with an arrow, or he was hit by an arrow from his horse and threw the cavalry off, but now, not the time to care about this issue, Agu Yong didn't look up at it at all, but kept accelerating and accelerating, and he didn't hear the sound of the bed crossbow tearing the air, and there was no stone cannon or trebuchet attack falling from the sky, which made Agu Yong very happy. If there is such a thing, your own casualties will definitely increase exponentially.

Fifty paces, Agu Yong could even see the frightened face behind the enemy's formation, he lit the grenade in his hand, straightened up on the horse, roared, and threw the grenade in his hand with great force. With a sparkling firelight, the grenade drew a wonderful curve in the air and fell towards the Chu army's formation. At the same time, Agu Yong, who straightened up, shook his chest, and an arrow hit the armor on his chest, when there was a loud shock, there was a pain in his chest, but the good armor on his body still saved his life, the feather arrow was embedded in the armor, but he was no longer able to take a step forward, it was obvious that the person who shot this arrow must be a good archeryman.

Not daring to slack off, Agu Yong rode his horse and turned in a small arc, keeping his war horse at a distance of forty to fifty paces to sweep in front of the Chu army's formation, and kept reaching out to pick up the grenade on his waist, igniting it, and throwing it out.

When he threw out the third one, the rumbling sound of explosions kept coming, hundreds of grenades kept exploding in the Chu army's military formation, and when the flesh and blood were flying, the dense military formation of the Chu army was blown to pieces, and in the face of this powerful weapon, the tighter the military formation, the greater the damage.

When Agu Yong and his throwing team swept in front of the Chu army, the Chu army had completely collapsed, and the Han cavalry who rushed up after them shouted, and rushed into the Chu army, which had lost the ability to resist, brandishing the weapons in their hands, and slaughtering the Chu army that was blown up.

The ghost face on Gu Li's face was particularly dazzling under the light of the sun, and after killing all the way out of the Chu army behind the palace, she did not stop at all, but continued to move forward, aiming at the baggage troops that were passing through Sheephorn Ridge.

Huang Zhong's body shook, but after a few breaths, his palace troops were slaughtered.

Finished! He lamented in his heart (to be continued. )
