"Master Hou, we should attack Fu Yang first." Fan Xu looked at the military map in front of him and said his thoughts categorically.

Fortunately, Li Chen had already prepared, and the Military Statistics Bureau under Zhao Que had already drawn a complete map of Surabaya County. This accurate map, which used a large number of modern drawing methods such as contour lines, also became the key to the victory of the Qin army.

"Why Fu Yang." Li Chen was not proficient in tactical matters, and asked rhetorically.

"Hou Ye, look."

A group of melon-eating people followed Fan Xu and turned around, and behind him was a simple military sand table. On the sand table, Fuyang, Liuxian, Xiaoxian, Xu, Fengxian, Peixian, these six counties are planted with red flags, which represents Liu Bang's power. The remaining ten counties were planted with black flags, which were still in the hands of Great Qin. Liu Bang seems to be really the son of destiny in this era, and almost all the counties he attacked were smooth sailing, and he almost never encountered any resistance, I am afraid that if it were not for the consolidation of the rear, Liu Bang would have hit Pengcheng.

Looking at the sand table in front of him, Li Chen seemed to understand that Surabaya County and Donghai County were adjacent to each other, and Xiang Yu and Liu Bang of Pei County were just horns of each other. The direction where Fu Yang is located is the farthest from the lower phase, and hitting Fu Yang first can avoid being attacked on the abdomen and back.

"Then fight Fu Yang first, you will command, this battle will be won, and you will not be defeated." Li Chen said to Fan Xu.

"Everyone go back and rest, let's march at night and rest during the day." Fan Xu ordered to the middle-level officers who were eating melons around him.

The 10,000 troops that Fan Xu transferred from Han Xin are now camped outside Pengcheng. Pengcheng is seven or eight hundred miles away from Xiaxiang, and although it is now autumn, there is still a temperature of more than thirty degrees at noon, and the black armor of the Qin army is relatively heat-absorbing. Even if the official road is easy to walk, the speed of the march during the day is only fifty or sixty miles at most, and if it is a night march, the speed should be increased to seventy or eighty miles. Fortunately, the food of the Shenwu Army is very good, and meat can be eaten in the market, so there is no night blindness that was common in ancient times.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The war drums that had just set the sun were beating, and soon, the soldiers who were resting in the camp tent gathered, as the so-called people were boundless as soon as they crossed 10,000, and the Qin army was all black-clothed and black-armored, and the entire big tent was black and oppressive at a glance.

"Let's go."

"Run."

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the Qin army ran towards the outside of the camp in columns with battalions as units. The entire array was neat and orderly, although it was not as fast as the rapid march of the great kingdom soldier's brother, but the speed was not slow. It's not Li Chen bragging, if the entire Great Qin talks about the speed of the march, even the most elite Meng Tian army can't compare to the Shenwu army.

"Click, click, click."

"Click, click, click."

For a whole night, there were neat footsteps on the official road. This army is really the elite of the Qin army, and there is not even a single one left behind in a night's march.

As the day began to dawn, the soldiers began to look for tents under the shade of the trees. The firehead army with the black pot on his back dug a few holes in the ground and put the black pot on his back, which was a simple earthen stove.

Inside each pot is a marinated sow skin, which is boiled with pickled pork skin, and the soup does not taste much better. But it is a lot of oil and salt, which can well replenish the calories and salt consumed by soldiers because of sweating.

Li Chen was holding the head of the nest in his left hand, holding the pork skin soup in his right hand, and a bowl of pickled vegetables in front of him. Although this crude food was eaten with relish, it was simply difficult for Li Chen to swallow.

"Master Hou, otherwise I will order the people of the Huotou Army to open a small stove for you." Fan Hao ate Wowotou with relish and said to Li Chen.

"No, you don't." Li Chen said, and took a hard bite of the hard coarse grain nest.

If there is no war, Li Chen will naturally open a small stove when he goes to the Shenwu Army, after all, if the marshal and the soldier have the same food, then the soldier still has the heart to fight, but now is wartime, and he naturally can't open a small stove for his own comfort during the march.

"Purr, purr."

Not long after eating, there was an earth-shattering snoring sound all around. Obviously, everyone was also tired, and as soon as they finished eating, they hurriedly began to rest. In the barracks, the first to fall asleep is always the happiest.

After a few days of marching, the Qin army, which was originally ready to go, became dusty, but fortunately, the troops were not far from Fu Yang.

The news of the Qin army's large-scale attack on Fuyang naturally can't be hidden, at this time the gate of Fuyang County has been closed, and the city wall is full of vigilant Liu Bang rebels, and the person stationed in Fuyang is not a bystander, it is Liu Bang's henchman Zhou Bo.

The Qin army camped ten miles away from Fuyang County, close to the water source, and the view of the open area was very good, which could prevent Liu Bang's rebels from attacking the camp.

Li Chen looked at the soldiers who were busy encamping around him, and instructed Zhao Que: "Zhao Que, you take the scouts to Fuyang City to have a look." ”

"Kick, kick, kick."

Not long after, just as everyone was encamped, Zhao Que returned to the camp with the scouts.

"Master Hou, I watched it. Fu Yang's city wall is not high or thick, presumably we can blow the gap in the city wall with a few rounds of cannons. ”

"Unless it rains and our cannons can't be used, otherwise this Fu Yang will definitely not last for three days." Zhao Que got off the horse and said excitedly.

In order not to affect the speed of the march, there were no siege equipment such as rushing cars, moat ladders, and cloud ladders in the Shenwu army. However, Li Chen's army had twelve large exterminating cannons and more than 100 small tiger squat cannons, and the dilapidated city wall of Fu Yang was naturally difficult to resist under the rain of cannons.

"Smack."

"Smack."

Suddenly, the sky was clear, and it became dark. There was also the sound of raindrops hitting the iron armor all around.

"This ......"

"It's okay, this little rain doesn't affect the use of the cannon." Zhao Que looked at everyone with a "crow's mouth" look in his eyes, and hurriedly explained.

"Smack, smack."

"Smack, smack."

Who knows, Zhao Que's voice just fell. The raindrops that were originally the size of rice grains instantly became the size of soybeans, and the raindrops the size of beans crackled on people's faces.

The advanced battalion said. Li Chen hurriedly beckoned everyone into the camp.

Whether it is an exterminating cannon or a tiger squat cannon, it cannot be used in such a harsh heavy rainy day. Moreover, the city walls are slippery on heavy rainy days, and it is not a good time to siege the city. is the so-called triple encirclement, ten times the attack, now that Li Chen's side is not superior, now even the sky seems to help Liu Bang.

Also, the rain is still light, and Liu Xiu, the descendant of Liu Bang for many generations, is even more awesome, and God directly sent a meteorite to help him destroy Wang Mang's army. Therefore, as long as the weather does not fall meteorites, it seems to be good news for Li Chen.
