Chapter 40: Victory in the first battle

Among Liu Bang's many generals, Fan Xu's force value was the highest and his strength was the greatest, and under his full push, the city gate was quickly pushed open, and the soldiers behind the gate couldn't retreat, and two of them were directly knocked down.

At this time, the chief who led nine subordinates to cover Han Xin was stabbed in several parts of his body, and he was killed on the spot, and most of his subordinates also died.

Fan Xu first glanced at Han Xin, who was standing in the doorway, and then looked at the enemy and us who were fighting behind Han Xin.

"Kill...."

Fan burst into a roar, like thunder on the ground, this roar contained a deep anger, and he waved his long brother and rushed towards the enemy, and the long halberd soldiers who followed him swarmed in.

At this moment, Deng Yulong, who was outside the city, took a long breath, and the first battle of his life command was about to be won.

The officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, who had been aggrieved for a long time, rushed out of the cage like a fierce tiger and rushed towards the enemy.

Fan Xu rushed to the enemy as fast as he could, waved his hand in Changge, and overturned several Yongwang soldiers one after another, completely venting his long-suppressed anger.

A large number of halberd soldiers in the back quickly rushed up, all of them bravely forward, where could the Yongwang soldiers resist, and dozens of people in front quickly died under the halberd of the Han army. The battle reached this point, and the morale of King Yong's soldiers finally collapsed, and despite the fact that there were still people behind him to supervise the battle, they began to flee.

Yao Tong saw such a situation, where could he care about whether he would be beheaded by Zhang Han if he lost the Great Dispersion Pass, and he would run for his life first.

Taking advantage of the fact that his subordinates had not completely dispersed, Yao Tong ran to the stable as fast as he could, stepped on his mount and fled north.

At this time, Han Xin came to the side of the steps and said loudly: "Brothers of the Tiance Army, gather here with me and let the friendly troops clean up the enemy." ”

In this surprise attack, the casualties of the Tiance army were not small, and now that the task has been completed and the overall situation has been decided, it is time to let the subordinates rest.

Dasan closed the city gate, the Han army rushed inward like a tide, and after all the halberd soldiers entered, the spearmen followed, Deng Yulong and his own soldiers were at the rear.

In the city of Dasanguan, the Han army chased the Yongwang soldiers who fled in all directions.

"Surrender without killing... Surrender without killing..."

One of them was shouting.

The soldiers of King Yong didn't want to die here, it was too worthless to die for Zhang Han, so they threw down their weapons and surrendered.

"Kill..."

Fan Xu, who was full of murderous intent, still did not stop, killing several enemies who had surrendered in a row.

"General Fan, the general has an order, and he will not kill any of his troops!"

Du Tong stopped him in time.

On Han Xin's side, all the soldiers of the Tiance Army who were still able to move had gathered on his side, and many of them were wounded.

"We've made a difference!"

Wang Dahu was excited, this time he killed more than a dozen enemies with his own hands, and the blood stained his armor red.

The other soldiers were cheering for victory.

A moment later, all the Han soldiers who participated in the operation had already rushed into the Dasan Pass.

When Deng Yulong entered the Dasanguan, there was only a sparse shout of killing, and the battle was basically over, and he looked around and observed.

In ancient times, the pass was not just a section of the city wall, but a gate, and there were generally building facilities such as the residence of the main general, the office area, the soldier's dormitory, and the material warehouse in the city.

Although the area of this Dasanguan Pass is relatively small in the ancient passes, it is also "complete with all five organs".

At this time, Fan Hao came to him with an excited look.

"Finally got a breath of bird's air, but it was too fast, not enough to be happy!"

A commander ran to Deng Yulong and said, "Report to the general, except for the enemy general Yao Tong who fled, the rest of the Yongwang soldiers who did not die have surrendered, but..."

Deng Yulong said solemnly: "If you hide it from General Ben, you will be punished!" ”

Du Tong said: "The last general strictly followed your military orders, and all the enemy troops who surrendered were not killed, but General Fan killed 4 surrenderers." ”

This time, more than 6,000 people were mobilized to participate in the war, and there were three middle-level officers in the Tokyo Metropolitan Rank.

In the current military system of the Han army, only officers at and below the capital level are equipped with fixed subordinates, and other higher-ranking generals have no fixed subordinates except for a few personal soldiers.

When the general arranges the combat mission, the corresponding manpower will be allocated to the military general according to the war situation, and when the military general's task is completed, the soldiers transferred out will be reclassified under the direct jurisdiction of the general.

The commander who reported to Deng Yulong was the commander who had just stopped Fan Hao from killing and surrendering troops, and Deng Yulong had specially instructed him to supervise the other officers and soldiers to strictly implement the order.

After Deng Yulong heard this, he looked at Fan Hao with sharp eyes.

"This..."Fan Xu scratched his head, revealing a look of shame, "The last general will not stop for a while..."

Deng Yulong shouted: "I have repeatedly ordered that no soldiers shall be killed, and if there is a recurrence, I will not be spared." This time in the Great Scattered Pass Battle, cut off your military merits, this is the lightest punishment! ”

In most of ancient times, the population of the land of China was sparse, the total population was only more than 20 million during the Warring States Period, after the unification of the world by the Qin State, it reached 30 million at the peak, and later because of the heavy conscription, the war at the end of Qin, and the dispute between Chu and Han, the population dropped significantly, and when Liu Bang became emperor, the total population was less than 20 million.

Population is the most important resource, especially adult men, that is the most important labor force, and the reduction of adult men is the greatest destruction of productivity.

In the process of seizing the world, as long as there is no threat to the surrendered troops of the own side, they can not kill as much as possible, either to become the soldiers of the own side, or to release them home to cultivate, or to participate in the construction of the project, this can play a role.

"Yes, the last general will strictly abide by the military order in the future!" Fan Xu responded, he knew that he was wrong, and he didn't dare to complain.

Deng Yulong said to the capital: "Count the number of people and count the casualties of our army!" ”

"No"

Du Tong responded loudly and went to work.

Deng Yulong ordered again and sent a message to Liu Bang that he had succeeded.

In the distance of eight or nine kilometers from Dasanguan to where Liu Bang is located, there will be three soldiers left behind every few hundred meters, which was specially arranged by Deng Yulong.

On the wall of Dasanguan, two soldiers waved torches facing south, and after the soldiers a few hundred meters away saw them, they lit the torches, also waving torches facing south, and so on, Liu Bang quickly received the message.

"The general has succeeded, and he has taken the Great Scattered Pass!"

Liu Bang died of joy, tens of thousands of Han officers and soldiers were cheering, in the barren mountains and mountains at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, it became a sea of joy for the soldiers, the huge cheers resounded in the sky, the birds in the forest were awakened and flew up, and many animals that had been dormant for the winter were scattered and fled.

Liu Bang has always been a little worried, worried about whether he can succeed in capturing the Dasan Pass, and now he has finally let go of his heart.
