Chapter 337 Huishi Guanzhong (5)

From Zhao Gao, in the name of Qin II, after transferring the troops of the Tang State in northern Xinjiang into Guanzhong, he used the excuse of mobilizing people and horses, and was unwilling to send troops, but in fact, for the attention of Guanzhong, the Tang State can be called a comprehensive concern, and there is no slackness.

You can enter the customs, the first thing is to get Xiao Pass.

It is the northern gateway of Guanzhong, and it is also the only passage connecting Guangwu City and Guanzhong.

If after entering the customs, Zhao Gao ordered the closure of the Xiaoguan passage, Liu +'s soldiers and horses would probably become turtles in the urn at that time.

Therefore, Liu + enters the customs, and he must take Xiao Pass!

But Xiao Guan, is it really so easy to capture?

During the Warring States Period, the Great Wall of Qin crossed the Huanjiang River from west to east, crossed the Xiaoguan Ancient Road, set up fortresses along the river, and built cities and passes. The Xiao Pass built at this intersection is the pass built on the Great Wall, and it is also one of the earliest passes in the history of the Great Wall.

The location of Xiaoguan is a dangerous canyon north of Sanguan Pass and south of Wating Gorge, which is accompanied by Jingshui.

He was not an independent fortress, but closely related to the northern defense system of the Qin period. The Great Wall of Qin, including the town fortresses built along the Great Wall in Huanxian County, formed a complete defense system. Around the county seat, there are three beacons of Guoer Mountain, Yuhuang Mountain and Chengdong Plateau, and there are also city barriers of Chengzigang, Shenjiatai and Chengdong Goukou...... All of this constitutes Xiao Guan's extremely strong artificial barrier. Standing on the top of the three beacons, you can overlook the river valley mountains and rivers within a radius of five miles from Xiaoguan.

Vertical and horizontal, forming a unique three-dimensional defense system, with careful design and ingenious layout, even after 2,000 years, it can still make people feel extremely calm.

This is a pass. It has resisted the invasion of the northern dog land countless times. Tested in the land of war.

That's why Uncle Gong was alive. once said to Liu Guo: Take Xiao Guan. Only clever can be used. And not by force. The danger of Xiao Guan. Even more than Wuguan. Liu Bang was able to use 100,000 soldiers and horses to break through the martial pass. But Liu used 200,000 horses. You may not be able to get Xiao Pass.

The reason for this. Wuguan is located in Weinan. Nanshan mountain range.

At this time, Weinan. The population is not too large. than the Xiaoguan area. There is a world of difference.

When Liu Bang conquered Wuguandi. The Qin army in Weinan barely got the slightest news. So he was able to conquer it smoothly. and break into the pass; But if Liu + storms Xiao Pass. It will immediately cause the entire Great Wall of Qin defense system to counterattack. It will even touch Guanzhong.

Take Xiao Guan. Only wait for the right time.

When Liu Bang conquered Wuguan and was amazed on the land of Weinan, Liu got the news for the first time.

Don't underestimate the loss of Wuguan, it will shock the Guanzhong!

Since Shang Jun changed the law, few soldiers and horses have been able to attack Guanzhong. But once it is attacked, it will make the eight hundred miles of Qin Chuan tremble. The guard who guards Wuguan is a former part of Shima. After learning of the loss of Wuguan, Shima immediately sent a letter to Liu, asking him to forward it to the guards of Xiao Guan.

Shima once said that he would not be an enemy of Guanzhong, but it did not mean that he could accept the Chu people to occupy Guanzhong.

At the same time, Liu Bang's attack on Guanzhong also made Xiao Guandi's guards feel a little panicked.

The letter from Shijian arrived at Xiaoguan at this time, and Liu was almost bloodless, took the Xiaoguan fortress, and led his troops into Guanzhong.

And the Bashu soldiers and horses also acted quietly at this time......

With the rapid deterioration of Guanzhong's form, Liu could no longer wait for the brigade to be transferred from northern Xinjiang.

He only had 8,000 Black Flag troops in his hands, in addition to 3,000 chariot soldiers in Lu Shizhi's hands. Therefore, Liu Lu Shizhi guarded Xiao Pass and led the cavalry army deep into Guanzhong...... He wants to take the lead and occupy Xianyang in order to gain a high profile. Fortunately, the 8,000 Black Flag Army under his command have all undergone a change of clothing. With double stirrups and high saddles and long knives, he has the upper hand in terms of equipment.

From Xiaoguan to Xianyang, there are many passes along the way.

As early as after Zhao Gao's fifth echelon of military service, Liu strengthened his attention to Guanzhong, and the mountains and rivers were well understood.

Eight thousand iron horsemen traveled day and night, and did not dare to stay half a step.

The routes taken were all carefully designed by the military staff and passed from the detention point of the Qin army's defense.

Although it is said that after Zhao Gao took power, Guanzhong's defense was lax. But after all, it is the Ying family that has been operating for hundreds of years, and many passes, even if the defense is lax, are still not within reach.

In addition to the strategic elements, there are also some personal factors.

If Liu Bang can't be eliminated in Guanzhong this time, he will ...... day It is bound to become a big problem for his own henchmen. For Liu Bang, you must not be soft-hearted!

――――――――――――――

At the second watch, the Chu army launched a sneak attack on the Qin army on the shore of the water.

Liu Fei and Zhu Jujian led 20,000 Chu troops to take advantage of the night to forcibly cross Bashui and attack the Lantian camp.

Liu Bang, on the other hand, commanded the army, with Zhou Bo as the vanguard, and attacked the overlord. This Bashang is a plateau area in the southwest direction of Bashui.

Zhao Ai's base camp is set up on the ba, echoing the Lantian camp and forming an angle

As the fighting between the two sides calmed down a few days ago, Zhao Ai gradually relaxed his vigilance. When Zhou Bo crossed the Bashui Land, Zhao Ai was drunk and asleep. Suddenly heard a shouting sound in his ears, which made Zhao Ai wake up in a daze.

"In the middle of the night, what are you shouting?"

He also had a hangover and was a little less sober.

The pro-soldiers rushed in and said loudly: "General, the big thing is not good, the Chu army crossed the Bashui and attacked the Bashang camp." ”

When Zhao Ai heard about it, he was still a little unconvinced. Stared at a pair of bull's eyes and scolded: "What are you a little bit about? Jing Manzi is so dignified, how could he suddenly start a war? ”

Slightly, it's the Chinese dialect in this level, which means, what nonsense are you talking about?

The reason why Zhao Ai said this was because he had already received a notice from his uncle Zhao Gao from Xianyang.

In Zhao Ai's opinion, this is about to surrender, how can the Chu army do this?

The soldier was anxious, "General, I didn't have a chance, Jing Manzi really called...... has entered the front camp, and there is a lot of commotion outside. ”

Zhao Ai came to his senses now, and hurriedly asked people to put on armor and order all troops to fight back.

"Go to the Lantian camp and let them attack!"

At this time, Zhao Ai was still unclear about the situation of the Lantian camp.

He picked up a long stalk and rushed out of the tent. A soldier had already arrived in a car, and without saying a word, he jumped on the light car and raised his eyes to look into the distance.

The whole Bashang has become a mess!

The unsuspecting Qin army was defeated by the sudden blow of the Chu army.

Everywhere there are Qin troops fleeing in embarrassment, and everywhere there are shirtless Jing barbarians...... On the surface of the Bashui River in the distance, pontoon bridges are erected.

Standing on the top of the tyrant, it can be clearly seen that the endless Chu army is crossing the river.

"Damn Jing barbarian, how dare you cheat?"

Zhao Ai was on top of the military cart and shouted loudly: "Kill me back, kill back......"

But in this chaotic army, where is there anyone who listens to his orders?

Zhou Bo held a short pestle the thickness of an arm in one hand and another hand, fighting hard in the chaotic army, and at the same time shouting: "Attack the Bashang and capture Zhao Ai alive!" ”

The pestle had become slippery and covered in blood.

He threw it with all his might, and danced and walked, and he passed everywhere, but saw flesh and blood flying.

The Qin army gradually became unable to resist and continued to retreat......

Seeing this, Zhao Ai hurriedly shouted: "Retreat, retreat, retreat to the Lantian camp!" ”

In his opinion, with the fortifications of the Lantian camp, it should be able to block the attack of Jing Manzi. The troop vehicles were the first to retreat back, and countless Qin troops followed closely behind, withdrawing in the direction of the Lantian camp. However, Zhao Ai's withdrawal made the Qin army, which was already panicked, even more chaotic!

Liu Bang followed the Chinese army, crossed the Bashui, stood on the shore, and couldn't help but be very happy when he watched the victory of the army.

"Tuzi, let's spend tonight, it's the lord of these eight hundred miles of Qinchuan!"

Liu Bang laughed loudly, while Fan Xu, who was standing beside him, frowned.

"Tuzi, why are you unhappy?"

Fan Hao said softly: "Junhou, for some reason, I have no tricks in my heart today, and I am very panicked...... It seems that something is going to be born. ”

"Hehe, you're being too careful!"

Liu Bang said with a smile: "Now that the soldiers and horses in this pass, sixty percent are concentrated on this tyrant, as long as they are defeated, Xianyang will no longer have anything to rely on, what are you worried about?" ”

Fan Hao smiled bitterly, "I can't say it well, but I just feel flustered!" ”

He paused and said softly, "Junhou, do you think Xianyang will make a move?" ”

"Xianyang? Now I'm afraid it's hard to protect myself! ”

Liu Bang smiled, indifferent to Fan's words.

He jumped into a light car that had just crossed the water, then drew his sword and shouted, "Sons, attack, attack!" ”

The shouts of killing drowned out the sound of hooves coming from afar.

Fan Hao led the horse and was about to get on the horse, but suddenly felt an inexplicable tremor under his feet.

He couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and listened intently.

Faintly, there was the sound of thousands of troops galloping, coming from far and near.

"Tuzi, what are you doing?"

Fan Hao was keenly aware that this trembling was definitely not the effect of his own soldiers and horses. On the side, Chen He stepped forward to ask, and Fan was just about to answer, when suddenly he heard a piercing roar in the night sky. Woohoo...... When the sounds converge, it was like a wolf roaring. Fan's eyes widened, his face looked frightened, and he pulled Chen He off his horse.

Ten thousand arrows broke through the air and attacked.

Many Chu troops who had just crossed the river were shot by a rain of arrows before they could figure out what was going on.

"Blue wolf arrow, it's blue wolf arrow......"

Fan is too familiar with the sound of arrows!

Not to mention that in Zhaoyang Daze, when Meng Tian led the Qin army to encircle and suppress the royal tomb, he used such arrows; Just ten years ago, Fan Hao and Liu Zheng conquered Henan, and they heard this piercing roar countless times. His war horse has turned into a thorn

Convulsions in pools of blood. Fan rolled over and got up and looked into the distance. , but he couldn't help but let his soul fly away.

A black-armored cavalry galloped from afar.

The rumbling hooves have already drowned out the shouting and killing sound of the tyrant.

On one side, the fiery red ground is a white dragon, and it hunts in the wind...... The cavalry marched, in unison.

As they got closer and closer to the Chu army, they put away their bows and arrows, and at the same time, bursts of shouts came out of their mouths.

"Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together...... The black flag is attacking, and there is no rest! ”

Between heaven and earth, there is a cry of the vastness.

Many of the Qin soldiers who had stopped resisting and were sitting on the ground were stupid when they heard this unfamiliar but familiar voice. In the sound of the shout, the iron bones of the old Qin Zheng in Guanzhong were fully displayed. Over the past five hundred years, with this shout, countless old Qin people have followed one after another, and it is only then that today's Guanzhong situation has been broken. It's only been 10 years...... The bloody nature of the past seems to have disappeared from the old Qin people!

"Old Qin, go to the national disaster together!"

A Qin soldier suddenly stood up and hugged a Chu soldier who rushed past him, and the two tore and rolled......

More than a dozen Chu soldiers stepped forward and slashed with their swords.

In an instant, the Qin soldiers were cut to a blur, but the Chu army who was hugged by him was out of breath. In the throat, blood is dripping.

Just as he was tumbling, Qin Bing bit Chu Jun's throat alive.

More Qin troops, stand up.

With weapons in his hands, he fought with the Chu army, and those who did not have weapons rushed forward without fear of death.

At this time, the cavalry had already rushed into the chaos, and with the big red shaking, there was an instant change......

"Cone line, charge!"

A voice that was extremely familiar to Fan, like a huge thunder, exploded in the air.

Fan Xu couldn't help but feel a spirit, and his face turned pale.

Black Flag Army!

The soldiers and horses that appeared on this tyrant were none other than Liu +'s Black Flag Army......

Originally, Liu+'s target was Xianyang.

However, when he crossed Jingshui in Zhongshan and arrived at Gukou, Tanma reported that Liu Chu's soldiers and horses had crossed Bashui and were attacking the Qin army.

Liu Rui realized that there must be something wrong in this.

Because according to the previous report of Tanma, the Chu army and the Qin army have stopped attacking. This Liu Bang suddenly attacked, there must be a reason inside.

No matter what Liu Bang's reason is, Liu knows one thing, if he lets Liu Bang go, then once Liu Bang conquers the hegemony and gains a firm foothold, he will have a headache! The best way is to take advantage of Liu Bang's unstable foothold and attack his men.

Therefore, Liu + temporarily changed his decision, diverted his route from Gukou, bypassed Du You, and attacked the Chu army from the flank.

And the facts have also proved that Liu Bang attacked Bashang and Lantian Camp at the same time, and the protection of the flanks was almost zero. This black flag army suddenly appeared on the battlefield as if it fell from the sky, whether it was for the Qin army or the Chu army, the shock caused was incomparable.

Liu changed the formation, took the lead himself, and went straight to the Chinese army of the Chu army.

The red flag flew over, and one by one, a touch of cold light swept through the air, bringing up pieces of blood mist. Liu +'s red flag moves have tended to be a big deal. There is absolutely no mud and water in killing, a touch of light has passed, and the head falls to the ground, or the body is in two places.

The red rabbit hissing wind beast's excited Xi Yu Yu hissed, with irresistible ferocity, and crashed into Chu Jun's body.

Biting, kicking, ramming......

The red rabbit horse is no longer like a war horse, but more like a tiger descending from the mountains. Liu + wore a golden dragon hooded helmet and chain armor, waving the flag and charging, and everywhere he went, the flesh and blood of the Chu army that he only killed flew sideways, and no one could stop him. And the cavalry behind him was like the wolves in the north. A handle was long, and it penetrated the body of Chu Jundi unstoppably, and then the formation turned around, and another platoon leader appeared.

The cavalry's charge was like breaking into a no-man's land.

Liu Bang was commanding the men and horses to attack the bully, and was stunned by Liu +'s sudden attack, a little dazed and at a loss.

"Who is this? Why is it here? ”

Liu Bang couldn't help but shout loudly, but no one responded.

The Black Flag Army's devastating attack instantly cut off the formation of the Chu army. After Liu + led his troops to rush over, he turned the horse and killed the generals again. The scene suddenly became chaotic. The Qin army cheered loudly, raised their weapons one after another, and fought with the Chu army.

Zhou Bo had obviously invaded Dazhai, but he was beaten back by the Qin army.

"Prince, what's going on?"

He came to Liu Bang's car and asked in a hissing voice, "Who are these soldiers and horses?" Why is it here? We don't even realize it? ”

Liu Bang was about to answer, but saw that in the midst of the chaotic army, a black-armored general rushed out on horseback.

The bright red flag in his hand fluttered and danced, and the black-armored general shouted loudly: "Liu Ji, where to go?" ”
