The Zhangfu Great Wall built by Zhao State, like the Great Wall in the north, will have a gate every other distance.

More than 400 miles of the Great Wall of Zhangfu, there are three gates in the west, middle and east, each of which is 100 miles apart.

After Zhao Xie announced the reform measures, he named the three gates respectively. The middle gate is called "Golden Lock Pass"; The eastern side of the city is called "Canglong Pass"; The west side of the city is called "Fuhu Pass".

During the Warring States Period, Handan, the capital of Zhao State, was guarded by the mountains in the west and the Zhangfu Great Wall in the south.

Once the enemy army breaks through from the western mountain range, or from the Zhangshui River and the Zhangfu Great Wall in the south, it will enter the plain, and Handan City will be directly exposed to the enemy's front, and there is no danger to defend, and there is no other way but to fight the enemy hard.

During the Warring States Period, in order to defend Handan and enhance the defense of the Zhangshui defense line, the Zhao State built the Great Wall along the north bank of the Zhangshui River, the so-called Southern Great Wall, also known as the Zhangfu Great Wall. The majestic Great Wall, Zhangshui as a river, solid as gold, guarding the heart of Zhao State.

Qin has challenged this line of defense many times, for example, in the Battle of Yi'an, the Qin general Huanqi stopped at Yecheng and Pingyang on the south bank of Zhangshui and could not advance, so he could only bypass Jingcheng Pass to attack Yi'an and Chili, trying to attack Handan from the north, but was defeated by Li Mu; For example, in the Battle of Fanwu, the Qin Army's Southern Route Army stopped at Yecheng on the south bank of Zhangshui, and could only bypass Jingcheng Pass to attack Fanwu, but was defeated by Li Mu, which shows the importance of the Southern Great Wall.

Li Zuozhan stood on the majestic Great Wall, looking at the enemy army on the other side in the distance, and looked back in his thoughts that twenty or thirty years ago, his grandfather Li Mu's great military exploits made the Qin army extremely jealous, and now, he wants to be like his grandfather, and hit the enemy fiercely.

In the Battle of Jingcheng, Li Zuoche felt sorry for not being able to fight Han Xin as the commander, and this time, he had to kill this Chu army first as an appetizer.

The 2,000 soldiers led by Ouyang Ling advanced to the southwest and arrived at Fuhu Pass in the afternoon.

The general stationed at Fuhu Pass was of the rank of lieutenant, named Huan Bin, and he had received orders in advance, and Li Zuoche ordered him to receive two thousand cavalry and send them across the river by boat.

Ouyang Ling and his subordinates came to Guancheng, and Huan Bin greeted them warmly and prepared a hot meal.

All the boats on the Zhangshui River have been collected by the Zhao army, and they are mainly concentrated on the banks directly opposite the three gates of the Great Wall.

After Ouyang Ling and the soldiers were full, they came out of the city to the river, only to see that there were many ships here, and Huan Bin commanded his subordinates to transport the cavalry soldiers and war horses across the river in batches.

The sky kept raining lightly, although there were rain gear and bamboo hats to cover the rain, but the parts below the knees were still inevitably wet, and the Zhao soldiers were not afraid of the cold, hoping to hit the Chu army hard.

——————

The Chu military camp, the largest tent, Xiang Yu lives here.

When Xiang Yu led the army to set off, he did not carry rain gear, because the continuous light rain made it impossible to march, so he had to stay here, anxious and irritable.

"God won't help me with this damn weather!"

Xiang Yu was cursing, cursing to the heavens many times in the past two days.

After dinner, Ji Bu came to the tent again and said: "King Xiang, even if it doesn't rain, as long as the Zhao army guards the Great Wall and the Zhangshui River, it will be difficult for our army to attack. When the rain stops, let's retreat! ”

Xiang Yu said angrily: "Don't talk much, after the rain stops, pull out the camp and start the village." ”

Ji Bu could only shake his head helplessly.

The next morning, it was also rainy and rainy, and in the evening, the rain finally stopped, and the dark clouds had a tendency to dissipate, Xiang Yu was in a much better mood, and after holding it for two days, he could finally set off tomorrow.

Another day passed, and the sky cleared, and the warm sun still shone on the earth.

Xiang Yu ordered the camp to be set up and marched to the east.

Jin Suo closed the city, and Li Zuoche gathered the guards, including Xu Chong.

Ouyang Ling successfully crossed the river, and today the weather is clear, which is a good time to implement the plan.

Li Zuodao: "Our opportunity has come, today, we are going to destroy the Chu army on the other side!" ”

Several generals present were puzzled, and no one could understand what was going on.

Xu Zhong asked: "Guangwujun, as long as the Chu army holds the river bank, it is impossible for our army to cross the river and attack successfully. ”

Li Zuodao: "That's what General Xu said. The king entrusted the safety of Zhao Guo to me, and I naturally will not fight an uncertain battle. Crossing the river head-on is a feint, in order to attract the Chu army in the camp to come out, and our cavalry will launch a surprise attack from behind, so that the Chu army will be caught off guard, and the frontal troops will turn from a feint to a real attack, and they will definitely be able to kill this Chu army. ”

Under normal circumstances, the army will set up camp, there will be certain defensive measures, there will be horse traps at the gate of the camp, horse rejection and the like, if there is no special opportunity, it is difficult to succeed in directly attacking the camp.

It would be different if you could attract the enemy troops in the camp first.

In the territory of Zhao State, the east of the Taihang Mountains belongs to the North China Plain, and within a certain distance to the south of the Zhangshui River, it still belongs to the plain range. Although the plains are flat, it does not mean that there are open areas everywhere, and there will be relatively low hills, woods, and so on.

Ten miles southwest of the Chu army camp on the opposite bank, there was a wood, enough for two thousand cavalry to lurk.

Yesterday afternoon, Li Zuoche received a report that Ouyang Ling had arrived at the predetermined location.

Hearing what Guang Wujun said, the generals were puzzled again.

Xu Zhong asked again: "Could it be that the general has sent cavalry to lurk on the south side of the Zhangshui River in advance?" ”

Li Zuoche said with a smile: "That's right, before coming here, I had sent cavalry to Fuhu Pass, crossed the river from that side, and lurked near the enemy camp. As soon as we move on our side, the cavalry will suddenly attack. ”

After hearing this, several generals became excited, praising Guangwujun for using his soldiers like a god, and they were all gearing up to do a big job.

——————

On the other side of the Golden Lock Pass, cavalry began to come out of the Chu army camp and patrol along the river.

Yesterday and the day before yesterday, because it was raining lightly, the soldiers of the Chu army were all cowering in the camp and did not send corresponding people to patrol.

Xiang Zhuang is a person who fights with one force, it has rained in the past two days, he is also depressed, today is finally clear, he is in a better mood, I hope that his cousin Xiang Yu can break through the Zhangshui River as soon as possible and attack Zhao State.

At noon, the soldiers of the Chu camp were eating lunch, and Xiang Zhuang was eating with the main generals.

The soldiers guarding the gate came to report: "Report to the general, the Zhao army on the other side is out of the customs!" Coming to the riverbank is like crossing a river! ”

After hearing this, Xiang Zhuang laughed and said: "Before going on the expedition, the prime minister said that Li Zuoche was good at using soldiers, and asked King Xiang to be careful, but I don't think that's it." ”
