Night battles are always uncertain. For the Qin army, the risk is not proportional to the gain. It's not that Zhang Han doesn't dare to take risks, but he won't take such unnecessary risks.
This is not the time for them to argue either. As soon as Zhang Han waved his hand, he stopped all the arguments and said: "Sima Duan is reasonable, we don't have to follow the rhythm of the Chu army, let them go for a few hours, can he still run to the edge of the sky, pass the order, generals at all levels, settle the soldiers, bury the pot and make rice, and attack as soon as it is dawn." Sima Duan. ā
Sima Duan stepped forward and said, "Yes." ā
Zhang Han said: "You are a pioneer. Let's go down and prepare. ā
Sima was overjoyed and said, "No." ā
The camp of the Qin army, which was silent in the dark, woke up like a giant beast in the dark.
The Qin army was quite calm, Zhang Han was unmoved, except for all the scouts who were sent out, densely surrounding the Chu army from all directions, and firmly staring at the Chu army's every move. The rest of the Qin army proceeded step by step, step by step, according to the normal rhythm.
When the east was white, the gate of the Qin army opened, and a team of cavalry rushed out, one after another, the horses' hooves seemed to be solidified notes, and the soundtrack locked on the same picture kept going back and forth, only a puff of smoke and dust rose higher and higher.
When the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, all the gates of the Qin camp were opened at the same time, and rows of neat soldiers lined up to leave the camp. Judging from the sky, the huge joint venture of the Qin army did not know how many tentacles stretched out for a moment. Spread to the east.
Zhang Han didn't have any reservations, he poured out of the nest.
Zhang Han was surrounded by countless armor soldiers, and he did not follow the large group of men and horses around Mianchi City to the east, but went under the siege of armor soldiers and entered Mianchi City.
The road in Michi City was black and oppressive, and hundreds of people knelt down, Zhang Han didn't even look at it, and entered the government office in the middle of Michi City.
But he saw three heads hanging in front of the door.
Zhang Han looked up and asked, "Who are these three people?" ā
A man in black stood up from behind Zhang Han and said, "General, we buried the nails of the Chu army. ā
Zhang Han raised his head and said, "Is one of them Lu Sheng?" Thick burial. Zhang Han's tone didn't change at all, he had already seen a lot of life and death, not to mention three heads, that is, three hundred, three thousand heads, put in front of him, Zhang Han would not blink his eyes, but at this time Zhang Han buried a trace of haze in his heart.
Zhang Han remembered clearly that Zhou Wen was going to retreat east to Pingyin, and the news came from Lu Sheng's place. So is this news of Lu Sheng true or false, is it fake news specially spread by Zhou Wen.
Zhang Han said as he entered the door, "Where is Chu Jun now?" ā
"It's heading east along the Eastern Road."
The Oriental Road is a gallop road built by Qin Shi Huang, which leads from Xianyang to Linzi. I pass by here.
Zhang Han was still a little uneasy, and said: "Pass the order and send more people to explore in the southeast directions." Don't miss a beat. ā
"Yes."
Zhang Han entered the county government, and he came to the small city of Michi for no other purpose, that is, to see Zhou Wen's residence.
For his enemy, Zhang Han didn't dare to have a trace of contempt, and wanted to explore Zhou Wen's thoughts from the clues, but Zhou Wen didn't leave any clues for Zhang Han. Zhang Han ran away in vain this time.
Zhang Han sighed, turned around, got on his horse, and headed to the east with hundreds of armor soldiers.
The Chu army set off in the middle of the night earlier than Zhang Han. By daybreak, they had already left the pond more than ten miles away. The vanguard of the Chu army has already arrived in Xin'an.
Between Xin'an and Mianchi, it is dozens of miles away. The Chu army hurried overnight and had already walked most of it.
Originally, the army would not have been dispatched so quickly, but Zhou Wen had already abandoned almost all of his baggage and was completely lightly armed, leaving only the weapons he carried with him and several days of dry food.
This is the case of running nearly twenty miles in the middle of the night.
Don't think that nearly twenty miles is very close, and in ancient times, thirty miles of daily marching was a house. A day's march was only thirty miles. After all, they are not the same as now, even if they are lightly armed, the crossbow arrows, dry food, water, swords, armor, and other things on their bodies add up, and they also weigh dozens of catties.
And when the Qin army was so close, the Chu army did not dare to overdraw its physical strength. I am afraid that when the Qin army catches up, there will be no strength to fight.
In ancient times, fighting a war was a real work of strength, and it was by no means enough to pull the trigger now. It is necessary to copy the knife and cut people in a real way.
Zhou Wen took a water bag, raised it above his head, and drank half of the bag in one go, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Where is Zhang Han." ā
Chen Ge said: "The scout has come to report, the Qin army has made a big move, and it is not far behind, especially the cavalry of the Qin army has already caught up, and after a while, you will be able to see it." ā
Zhou Wen said: "The order is that the vanguard is stationed in Xin'an City, and the army must not stay in Xin'an. Chen Ge ordered Zhou Yunchen to set off. Block the cavalry of the Qin army. ā
Chen Ge said: "Yes, it's just a general, the cavalry of the Qin army is sharp, and General Zhou can be the enemy." ā
The two countries with the best cavalry in the Warring States were Qin and Zhao. Zhao is no longer there, at this moment, the cavalry of Qin can be said to be unrivaled in the world, the Chu army is in a hurry, how can the integrated cavalry be an opponent?
Zhou Wen said: "You don't need to pay attention to this, just tell him that he can hold on as long as he can, and fight to death." ā
Chen Ge was about to speak, but was glared at by Zhou Wen and said, "Go ahead." ā
Zhou Yunchen is Zhou Wen's cronies, and he is of the same clan as Zhou Wen, and only in this way can Zhou Wen dare to put the most elite thousands of cavalry in Zhou Yunchen's hands, and this order clearly wants Zhou Yunchen to die.
It's just that what Zhou Wen can do?
How is it possible to retreat like this without leaving behind the palace. And the people behind the palace don't need to be elite, how can they do it. And if Zhou Wen uses foreign soldiers and horses, how can he convince the public.
After all, there is only the sacrifice of Zhou Yunchen.
And Zhou Wen also knows that such a sacrifice is just the beginning.
Zhou Wen settled it properly, and then left here with the team without looking back.
In the midst of countless footsteps, Zhou Wen heard the shouting and killing sound sent by the wind behind him, his body shook, and then calmed down as usual. As if nothing had been heard.
A few miles behind Zhou Wen, the shouting and killing sound was earth-shattering, 10,000 cavalry fought together, people shouted horses neighing, and swords and guns clashed.
Countless Qin and Chu armies fought to the death.
As the chief general of the Chu army, Zhou Yunchen had already prepared to die.
But even if he died, he couldn't die so easily.
Zhou Wen had already explained clearly to Zhou Yunchen, and his purpose was very clear, that is, to delay time, and he would delay as long as he could.
Bursts of smoke and dust rose from the west, followed by the main force of the Qin army behind. But I had to stop.
Thousands of cavalry on both sides blocked the entire gallop tightly. There is no place for people to go around.
Sima Duan immediately ordered: "Order, the cavalry withdraws." ā
Immediately, the sound of gold sounded, and after the Qin cavalry heard it, they immediately withdrew from the battlefield. After a while, the two sides of Qin and Chu became clear again.
Zhou Yunchen looked left and right, but found that there were less than 3,000 soldiers around him, and the rest became corpses left on the battlefield.
On the opposite side, the Qin army was in the center, and the cavalry on both sides protected the two wings, not to mention that there were 15,000 people.
With such a comparison of strength, it can be said that everyone knows how to win or lose? How could Zhou Yunchen not know?
According to common sense, he should retreat immediately and preserve his strength. But he can't do that now.
A knight of the Qin army came out of the battle, swept in front of the two armies, and said in a loud voice: "You have been abandoned by Zhou Wen, and you should not surrender quickly, otherwise it will be too late to regret it." ā
Zhou Yunchen raised his hand and shot an arrow, which hit the throat of the person, and the person didn't even struggle, he fell off the horse and fell to the ground.
Zhou Yunchen reacted like this, Sima Duan snorted coldly, and didn't say much, in the Qin army array, the drums sounded, and the entire Qin army army surged forward with the drum beat, and the cavalry on both sides bypassed from both sides, clearly surrounding thousands of cavalry.
Zhou Yunchen looked at the sky, and snorted coldly in his heart: "Follow me." He took the lead and rushed towards the cavalry on the side of the Qin army.
Although he can't retreat, he won't be stupid enough to fight with the Qin army.
