Uncle Zhou couldn't guess Zhang Han's purpose and plan in the Han army camp, but he didn't know the top and bottom of Zhang Han's army, including Zhang Han's absolute henchmen Shi Bao and Zhao Ben and others, and he didn't know what Zhang Han was going to do at this moment, so he could only honestly carry out Zhang Han's orders, seize the time to prepare dry food and torches and other necessary things for night battles, and lead the soldiers to rest in turn, and raise enough physical strength to wait for the night to launch the operation.

In the end, it was close to evening, Zhang Han held a meeting in the big tent of the Chinese army, assigned combat tasks to the generals in the army, and said straight to the point: "Generals, I won't say much nonsense about this king, in short, you are also very clear about the current situation, Uncle Zhou's enemy is current, so that we can not smoothly withdraw from the Jinyang battlefield, and the tomb of the Han Thief King has sneak attack on us, and we have robbed most of the money, food, and military supplies that we have accumulated after we are settled in Daixian, and we are still marching towards our national capital Daixian. In our rear, there is already a danger of total fall. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Han raised his voice and said: "So tonight's battle, we can only win, we must not lose, no matter what, we must defeat the Han thief and completely reverse the passive disadvantage we are currently facing!" I hope that all the generals will work hard to inspire the soldiers and lead them to fight bravely to kill the enemy, just like when we were in Dingtao, the soldiers are concentric, up and down, and break the enemy in one battle! ”

Zhang Han's generals clasped their fists and sang a promise, Zhang Han nodded, and said: "I will tell our soldiers clearly in a while, just say that the rear of the Han thieves is empty, at present, only Uncle Zhou's thief army can be our opponent, as long as we can successfully defeat Uncle Zhou's puppet, then not only can we keep our Daixian capital, but also take advantage of the victory to pursue, kill back to Guanzhong in one fell swoop, and reunite with our parents and family, do you understand?" ”

"Understood!"

Zhang Han's generals replied neatly, Zhang Han nodded again, and then said: "The tactics tonight are very simple, this king has already set a trap to lure the main force of Zhou Shupifu to cross Fenshui east at night, and come north to prevent our main force from withdrawing and returning to Dai County." So we only need to arrange an illusion, cut off the Fenshui pontoon bridge in time, and block the main force of the Han thieves on the east bank of Fenshui, we can win the fighter plane and attack the Han thief camp with all our might, as long as we succeed and capture the grain and grass of the Han thief, then Uncle Zhou has only one choice to retreat immediately, and then we only need to pursue with all our strength, and we can easily defeat the main force of the thief army and reverse the battlefield situation in Taiyuan County in one fell swoop! ”

After finally introducing his tactics and purpose, Zhang Han pointed at his favorite general Nei Shibao again, and shouted: "Nei Shibao, you lead five thousand troops to stay in the camp tonight, and by the way, take on the important task of luring the enemy. At the beginning of the second watch, you left only 1,000 troops to guard the camp, and personally led 4,000 troops to carry grain and grass across the river, pretending to be ready to retreat to the north, so as to confuse the main force of Han thieves lurking on the east bank of Fenshui. If the main force of the Han thieves sends troops to intercept us, you must immediately abandon the baggage vehicles, lead the army to withdraw to our camp, and destroy the pontoon bridge, and you must not give the Han thief army a chance to cross the river and attack our camp! ”

Nei Shibao hurriedly sang a promise, but Zhang Han refused to rest assured, and advised: "Remember two points, the first is to be sure to light more torches in our camp and pretend that our main force is still in the camp." Second, be sure to fill the baggage vehicle with heavy objects, so that the thieves don't see the flaws! ”

Nei Shibao hurriedly agreed again, and Zhang Han also turned to the other generals and said: "The rest of the generals, lead all the remaining troops, and assemble with me out of the camp at the beginning of the shift, be sure to rush to Jinyang City before the second watch, and the whole army will cross the river, drive to the Han thief camp, arrive outside the thief camp, and immediately attack!" If you don't break the thief camp, you swear not to collect the soldiers! ”

The generals sang the promise together, and then the general Su Tuo asked again: "King, can the last general ask two questions?" First, the camp of the Han thieves is protected by ditches and walls, and we have no weapons to attack the camp, so how can we attack the camp of the thieves? Second, the main force of the Han thieves found out that they were fooled and immediately returned to their camp, how can we resist? ”

"Don't worry about assault weapons." Zhang Han said coldly: "Our friendly troops Jin Wangjun and Zhai Wangjun have already secretly prepared 800 flying ladders and 150 trench bridge vehicles for us in Jinyang City, which are enough for us to attack the fortifications, and when the time comes, they will not only send them out of the city to hand them over to us, but also send troops to help us fight." ”

"As for the issue of the return of the main force of the Han thieves, don't worry, the Jin Wang Army and the Zhai Wang Army have already prepared hundreds of rafts, and when the time comes, they will suddenly dispatch, enough to burn all the pontoon bridges of the Han thieves on the Fenshui River, so that even if the main force of the Han thieves comes back, there is no way to cross the river to reinforce their camp, so we can only watch us enter their camp and seize all their grain and grass baggage!"

Or after listening to Zhang Han's explanation, the generals of Zhang Han's army suddenly realized, and quickly praised Zhang Han's clever plan like a god, thoughtful, Zhang Han's heart was also very proud, and said secretly: "Uncle Zhou, this king doesn't believe it, this king deliberately lost two battles in a row, and let the dead send two true and false military intelligence news for Zhao Ben one after the other, and I can't deceive you!" ”

The time to send troops soon came, the first watch of the Bangzi just rang, the main force of the early 30,000 Zhang Han army secretly out of the camp under the cover of night, secretly assembled outside the west gate of their camp, and then Zhang Han just ordered to set off, the soldiers of the Zhang Han army who had received strict training immediately set off to the south, without a torch, all by the faint moonlight, almost quietly and secretly south, and in less than an hour, they walked twenty miles of road and arrived at the Jinshui River under Jinyang City.

At this time, the advantage that the Jinshui bridge was all controlled by the Jin-Zhai coalition army was also reflected, and with the help and guidance of the Jin-Zhai coalition army's secret outpost outside the city, the main force of the Zhanghan army soon crossed the Jinshui, and silently lined up to the south bank of the Jinshui. At the same time, more than 12,000 remnants of the main force of the Jinzhai coalition army, under the leadership of Dong Peng, also carried out of the city with the attack weapons they had made in the city, directly crossed the river from the Jinshui Bridge outside the south gate of Jinyang, and joined the main force of Zhang Han's army, and quickly divided most of the attack weapons to the main force of Zhang Han's army.

At the same time, on the side of the main camp of the Zhang Han army, the general of the Zhang Han army, Nei Shibao, also decisively carried out the order, while lighting countless torches in the camp, arranging the illusion that the main force was still in the camp, while escorting the military vehicles loaded with heavy loads across the river, pretending to cross the river overnight and withdrawing from the Jinyang battlefield, so as to confuse the main force of the Han army's partial division that must have been deployed to the east bank of Fenshui in advance.

In order to take the Han army camp as soon as possible, Zhang Han also tried to send elite soldiers to lurk forward and sneak attack the Han army camp door, but the Han army soldiers were on guard, Zhang Han army commandos were not yet touched the camp gate by the Han army sentry to find out, immediately sounded the gong alarm room, the Han army camp was also soon noisy, many soldiers rushed to the camp to protect the camp gate, and shot the Zhang Han army commando back with random arrows.

"It's a pity."

While regretting, Zhang Han did not feel strange - since the main force of the Han army had gone to the east bank of Fenshui, the camp must have redoubled its vigilance, and it was not surprising that the surprise attack could not be successfully achieved. So Zhang Han didn't mind, but immediately shouted: "Beat the drums, attack the camp!" ”

"Knock knock knock!"

"Kill——!"

Hearing the order, hundreds of cowhide drums immediately sounded at the same time, and the soldiers of the Zhang Han army, who were ready to wait, immediately divided into two roads, carrying the trench bridge car and the simple flying ladder provided by the friendly army, and rushed forward, shouting and killing the northwest two gates of the Han army camp at the same time, in order to ensure that the Han army camp was taken as soon as possible, Zhang Han was still very generous this time and dispatched 10,000 troops to charge and attack, and hit the Han army camp at any cost!

At the same time, hearing the sound of war drums, the east gate of Jinyang, which had been closed before, was immediately opened, and two thousand soldiers charged out of the city with rafts and firewood and grass on their backs, rushed to the dock outside the east gate and quickly arranged the fire raft, and attacked with carefully selected water soldiers on the raft, and rushed to the Han army pontoon bridge in the lower reaches of Fenshui with their paddles.

Still at the same time, outside the east gate of the Zhanghan army camp, countless heavy vehicles loaded with heavy goods have crossed the Fenshui and assembled on the east bank of the Fenshui, but the surrounding area is still quiet and there is no movement, and there is no ambush killing of a soldier, and the general of the Zhang Han army who stayed in the camp is vaguely suspicious, but the Zhang Han army camp is about thirty miles away from the Han army camp, and Zhang Han outside the gate of the Han army camp can neither see the situation of the northern line nor hear the sound of the northern line. Nei Shibao also had no way to report the news to Zhang Han immediately......

The picture turned back to the camp of the Han army, between the charge of the Zhang Han army team that was killed in the two ways, in the case that the number of torches was not very large, more Han soldiers silently rushed to the wall, stretched their bows and arrows and waited for the Zhang Han army to rush closer, and then when the Zhang Han army rushed into the range of the Han army's bows and arrows, the wall shouted loudly, and countless feathered arrows flew out of the string, covering the heads of the Zhang Han soldiers all over the world, and immediately caused countless casualties to the Zhang Han soldiers.

The dark night interfered with Zhang Han and Dong Fei's vision, Zhang Han and Dong Fei, who were old on the battlefield, couldn't see the situation ahead, no matter how experienced they were, they couldn't quickly find that the number of defenders on the Han army camp was obviously wrong, or after the Han soldiers released several waves of feather arrows one after another, Zhang Han found that the situation was wrong through the number of arrows falling to the ground from the soldiers, and he was also shocked, and blurted out: "How is it possible?" Why are the bows and crossbows of the thieves so dense? ”

It was too late to find out that the situation was wrong, the front army had already rushed up, and in a hurry they could not call back at all, just like a group of moths, densely rushed into the black flames, and countless people were killed and wounded by the arrows, and like iron pieces attracted by magnets, they could not quickly get rid of the attraction, and soon because of the need to arrange the trench bridge car to cross the trench, the formation was chaotic.

It was only at this time that the drums in the Han army camp suddenly sounded, and countless torches were quickly lit, and then before Zhang Han and Dong Peng screamed, there were already killing voices at the foot of Luliang Mountain in the west, and countless Han soldiers shouted to kill from the mountains and forests, and killed directly behind the Dai Zhai coalition army.

Then, of course, the three gates of the Han army's camp were opened together, and the three Han armies fought out at the same time with torches, joining forces with the ambush soldiers of Luliang Mountain, not only flanking the Dai Zhai coalition army before and after, but also not letting go of the poor flank of the Dai Zhai coalition army!

"Hit the mark!"

It was only at this time that Zhang Han finally shouted out this sentence blocked in his throat, and then Zhang Han didn't even dare to blink his eyelids, and immediately yelled at Dong Fei next to him: "King Zhai, go back with your army immediately, no matter what, you have to keep the bridge across the river, I will fight and retreat, temporarily drag the thief army, and you will cover me to cross the river in a while!" ”

Zhang Han's reaction was very fast, Dong Peng's movements were also very fast, just heard Zhang Han's roar, and immediately retreated to the north with his army, but no matter how fast their reactions and actions were, they couldn't be as fast as Uncle Zhou's pre-arrangement - before that, there was already a Han army ambush rushing out from under Luliang Mountain at the source of Jinshui, and rushed to the Jinshui Bridge under Jinyang City at the fastest speed! Every soldier of the Han army also carried a bunch of firewood and grass on his back!

Uncle Zhou's arrangement is not only that, hearing the sound of war drums in the Han army camp, some hills on the east bank of Fenshui have also risen one after another, seeing the flame signal, more than 1,000 Han cavalry ambushed on the northern front immediately shouted and killed, and rushed to the Zhang Han army baggage team that had crossed the river. As a result, at the critical moment, Nei Shibao made a fatal misjudgment, and immediately strictly implemented Zhang Han's prior order, and immediately led the army crossing the river to retreat across the river, and at the same time set fire to the pontoon bridge, so as not to give the Han army an opportunity to ambush the army and attack the camp of the own army.

Nei Shibao did not cause much direct material loss, the so-called baggage vehicles that crossed the river, in fact, most of them were loaded with useless soil and stones, even if the Han army captured all of them, they could not get any oil and water, but the most important point was that Zhang Hanjun himself set fire to the pontoon bridge, and also cut off the road for his own army to quickly cross the river and escape......

Then turn the picture back to the battlefield of the Han army's camp, after charging out of the camp, it is still no exception, the Han army soldiers still use the original grenade to open the way, destroying the formation of the Zhang Han army, the result is that Zhang Han has not been baptized by the original grenade before, the disturbance effect is better than the Han army soldiers expected, the Zhang Han army column that was attacked by the primitive grenade was almost a bomb in chaos, the soldiers screamed and scattered in all directions, the Han army soldiers took the opportunity to break through the Zhang Han army's several interception lines one after another, quickly disrupted the main brigade of Zhang Han's army.

Then, when the Han army ambushed the soldiers behind Zhang Han's army, the main force of Zhang Han's army just wanted to fight and retreat without a chance, the generals and soldiers were scattered countless times, scrambling to flee to the north for their lives, and there was constantly trampling on each other, Zhang Han couldn't restrain it at all, and finally he could only shout in frustration and hurry north with the army that could be controlled, "What is the problem there?" How did Uncle Zhou see through the king's clever plan? ”

At this time, the Han army ambush arranged at the source of Jinshui in advance, also rushed to the city of Jinyang first, against the feather arrows hurriedly cast by the defenders of the city, hurriedly piled up the grass bundles on the bridge and burned, the fire was raging, and quickly set all the six bridges on the Jinshui River on fire, and then when Dong Fei retreated to the vicinity with the army, the situation was completely late, the six bridges had been surrounded by flames, Dong Fei shouted bitterly, and he could only quickly send people to rush to the bridge to try to extinguish the fire, but how could the fire be stopped by manpower? Four of the six bridges collapsed quickly, and the remaining two were also squeaked by the fire and could collapse at any moment.

In the end, when Zhang Han fled to the bank of the Jinshui River with the defeated soldiers, not only had all the six bridges been burned, but even most of Dong Peng's soldiers were blocked on the south bank of the Jinshui River. Take my life! ”

Zhang Hanjun's stubborn resistance only lasted less than half a moment before it failed, the momentum of the Han army soldiers even chopped and split, indomitable, Zhang Hanjun and Dong Pengjun were killed in horror, screaming constantly, countless soldiers in order to survive, can only quickly jump into the Jinshui River to cross the river, more Dai Zhai coalition soldiers fell into the Hanoi in the expulsion of the Han army soldiers, the Jinshui River surface is densely packed, all the floating are the corpses of the Dai Zhai Lian soldiers. Then the corpses were stacked on top of each other, spreading all over the river, so that the Jinshui, which had a large amount of water, was completely lost.

The matter is not over, after stepping on the corpse of the self-commissioned soldier and narrowly escaping Jinshui, before Zhang Han can breathe a sigh of relief, the Han army pursuers have already followed and killed, Zhang Han saw that the situation was not good, so he could only adopt the kind advice of his subordinates, and fled directly into Jinyang City with a small number of troops to get rid of the pursuit. As for Uncle Dong Fei, he was the first to take the lead in escaping into Jinyang City, and even his own army was left behind, not to mention Zhang Han's army and the army that Sima Xin lent him.

Even so, the soldiers of the Han army still did not give up the attack, in addition to trying to eliminate the enemy who captured the south bank of Jinshui and outside the city of Jinyang, and interspersed with cavalry to intercept, in the northern suburbs of Jinyang again to break the defeated brigade of the Zhang Han army, the defeated army of the Zhang Han army had no way to go to the sky, there was no way to go to the ground, countless people surrendered, and a few stubborn people were also killed, the wilderness outside Jinyang was horizontal, everywhere were the corpses of the soldiers of the Jin Zhai coalition army, and there were also the coalition soldiers who surrendered on their knees, and the defeated soldiers of the coalition army cried and shouted outside the city of Jinyang. The soldiers of the Han army were bursting with joy, Zhang Han, Dong Fei and Sima Xin were like knives on the city wall, and their hands were so white that their knuckles were white, but they were helpless.

In this battle, the Han army not only completely hit the vitality of the Dai Jin Zhai coalition army, but also completely wiped out the stubborn courage of the Dai Jin Zhai coalition army, just received the news of the defeat of Zhang Han's main force, the general of the Zhang Han army who stayed in the camp Nei Shi Bao immediately abandoned the camp and retreated, and fled with the rest of the army on the west bank of Fenshui, but many Zhang Han soldiers who were in Guanzhong refused to go to live a life far from their hometown, took advantage of the chaos to escape from the team, and took the initiative to run south to surrender in front of the Han army. After the beheading of the internal history to protect the Fenshui River, most of the remaining Zhang Han soldiers chose to surrender, and the Dai Jin Zhai coalition army, which was once close to 60,000, was also left in less than a day, and only more than 10,000 remnants of the defeated soldiers in Jinyang City remained.

Basically annihilated the main force of the Dai Jin Zhai coalition army, but the war in Jinyang was not over, and the Jinyang City, which was known for its fortification, was still difficult to take, and the remnants of the Dai Jin Zhai coalition army were barely enough to defend the city, and there was hope to hold the city for a long time. But fortunately, Zhang Han, Dong Peng, Sima Xin and others no longer have any reinforcements to count on, and they understand that once the city is broken, they will definitely die without a place to bury, and they are already at an absolute disadvantage psychologically, and it is easy to be shaken by the persuasion and temptation of the Han army. So as soon as he collected his troops and returned to the camp, Uncle Zhou immediately smiled at Mr. Uncle Sun who came to greet him and said, "Mr. Uncle Sun, it's up to you next." ”

"What does General Zhou mean by that?" Mr. Shusun's face changed, and his voice trembled a little and said, "Could it be that you want to learn from our king and force the lower officials to enter the city to persuade the remaining thief army to open the city and surrender?" ”

"It's not to force you, it's to ask you to work hard." Uncle Zhou said with a smile: "Sir, you have sent an envoy to the enemy camp for the king before, and you have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and the last general is not talented, I would like to ask Mr. to work hard and go into the city for a hard time, and try to help us persuade Zhang Han and Dong Fei to take the initiative to open the city and surrender, so as to reduce the siege casualties of our soldiers." ”

"That's not the same?" Mr. Shusun screamed and said, "General Zhou, don't you know that what the lower officials are most afraid of is to send an envoy to the enemy camp, why do you still have to follow our king and force me to go into the city to take risks?" ”

"There won't be any danger." Uncle Zhou smiled and comforted: "Let's not say that the thief army is trapped in the lonely city, helpless, and has absolutely no courage to harm our envoy, just with the relationship between Zhang Han and our king's son-in-law, even if he refuses to agree to surrender, he will definitely not attack you." ”

"What if? What if they jump off the wall in a hurry? Mr. Shusun's voice was even more miserable, and he said: "We just beat the thief army so badly, they must all be angry and blow up their bellies, what if they are angry and beheaded with a sword?" ”

The smile on Uncle Zhou's face disappeared, and he was about to say a few cruel words to force Mr. Uncle Sun to send an envoy to Jinyang, but he didn't expect that Zhou Shu next to him suddenly came up and said, "General, can you talk about the matter of sending an envoy to surrender later?" The old man has a few heartfelt words about this, and I want to say it to you alone. ”

After that, Zhou Shu also squeezed his eyes at Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou understood, and he had always respected the famous old man of Shangshan, so he nodded, temporarily letting go of the poor Uncle Sun, and at the same time wondered in his heart, "Things have come to this point, it is a matter of course to send an envoy to surrender?" What else does Mr. Luri have to say? ”
