Chapter 150: The Middle Strategy

After breakfast on the second day, Long Ji's army arrived in front of the pass on time like an alarm clock.

When Zhou Bo saw the opponent's lineup, he secretly screamed that it was not good. I saw that the enemy brought a large number of siege equipment this time, and looking at the posture, it was clear that he was planning to break the city in a battle.

Sergeant Liu Bang waited solemnly, and Fan Hao and Zhou Bo stared at each other's main general, Long He.

After a short time, Long He led a team of men and horses and slowly approached the pass. Then he shouted and scolded: "You shrunken turtles, you will only hide behind the deep ditch and high fortress all day long. If you have the ability, come out and fight me to the death! ”

When Fan Hao heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Long Ji, shut your stinky mouth." If you have the ability, you will withdraw the army and fight with me once! ”

When Long He heard that Fan Hao was coming, he smiled casually: "What's wrong?" Liu Bang, that greedy for money and womanizer, was so scared that he didn't dare to come out, did he send you, a man who killed pigs and dogs, to send him to death? You, a butcher of the mountains, are worthy to fight against me. Do you know that I followed General Xiang Yu to defeat the 400,000 army of the Qin army with 10,000 people! Where were you then? Hiding in the arms of your own woman, right? Hahahaha! ”

Hearing that the other party humiliated himself and Liu Bang like this, Fan Xu's lungs were about to explode, and he was already planning to rush out of the city gate and fight Long Ji to the death. Fortunately, Zhou Bo grabbed him and kept shouting: "Fan Xu! Don't fall for his tricks, he deliberately provoked you into battle. ”

Seeing Zhou Bo stopping Fan Xu, Long Ji smiled again: "You Liu Bang's sergeants are all timid people, I think you are only worthy of washing your mother-in-law's feet." I heard that Liu Bang is a person who is afraid of the inside, and it seems that his subordinates are also incompetent rats. ”

Just when Long He continued to abuse Sergeant Liu Bang, Zhang Liang appeared on the city wall.

When Fan Hao and Zhou Bo saw Zhang Liang coming, they hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" Did that gunpowder of yours succeed? ”

Zhang Liang didn't answer, just pointed behind him. Fan Hao and Zhou Bo looked in the direction of Zhang Liang's finger, and saw more than a dozen sergeants standing behind Zhang Liang with a wine jar.

They didn't know what it was. was about to ask Zhang Liang, but he heard the other party speak first: "For the time being, let's do so much first, and deal with this deaf drive (Long And)." You two save some effort, watch me scold this grandson to death first! ”

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he took out a self-made "megaphone", and then said to Long Ji: "Listen to the Chu army below." I advise you not to think about it, if you provoke Lao Tzu, I will let you all eat ingots candle incense! ”

When Long He saw that there was another person, he hurriedly said: "Where did it come from and don't know how to die, could it be that it is a rat sent by Liu Bang?" ”

Zhang Liang was not annoyed when he heard Long and insult himself, but replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter who your grandfather and I are, you just need to know what you are." ”

When Long He heard the other party insulting him, he immediately replied: "Grandpa is the general Long He under General Xiang." Not something. ”

Hearing the other party's words, Zhang Liang almost laughed. "Good grandson, very polite, know how to call people. And I know I'm not a thing. ”

When Sergeant Liu Bang heard Zhang Liang's words, he immediately burst into laughter. Even the sergeants of Long Ji couldn't help but laugh.

Long and scolded for several days, and for the first time he was embarrassed by being ridiculed. He glared at Zhang Liang angrily and said in a loud voice: "The thief is not good at his tongue, if he has real skills, he will come down to fight me." I fought dozens of battles with General Xiang! You didn't know where to hide, and you were shivering! ”

Listen to each other more than qualifications. Zhang Liang couldn't help but shake his head and replied: "When Lao Tzu assassinated the First Emperor, you still peed and mud on your mother!" ”

The army under the city heard that the other party claimed to have assassinated the First Emperor. They all looked at Zhang Liang. Even Long Ji seemed to be a little shocked, and after he looked at Zhang Liang for a long time, he asked tentatively: "Are you Zhang Situ of South Korea?" ”

Seeing that the other party had guessed who he was, Zhang Liang no longer hid it. "It's good to know who Lao Tzu is, I advise you to retreat quickly, don't blame me for not warning you. If you still want to attack the city, you're welcome. ”

In response to Zhang Liang's warning, Long Ji scoffed. "It's just a useless rotten Confucian, and he doesn't even deserve to lift shoes for General Xiang, when he fought against the Qin army. Actually let your wife go on the expedition, I think you are a vain person. ”

Long Ji's words hit Zhang Liang's weakness, and what he was most taboo about was his heart and liver. Originally, he wanted to keep some morality, after all, it was too much to say and affect the image, but at this time he was carried away by anger and couldn't care about it so much.

"Lao Tzu's daughter-in-law feels sorry for Lao Tzu, and she will go into battle for me to take care of your! Which green onion are you?! I don't know who didn't wear pants and actually showed you! Even if you dare to bark in front of me, you don't pee. Not only are you unscrupulous, but you are also a little arrogant, and that arrogance plus a little bit is a stinker. You're stinking at that point! ”

Zhang Liang's scolding made Long He angry to the extreme, and when he saw Long He shouting, he ordered the sergeant to start attacking the city! He has given up the war of words with Zhang Liang, because he really can't say anything about the other party.

As soon as Sergeant Liu Bang saw that the other party was attacking the city, he hurriedly began to meet the battle. Zhang Liang quickly ran to the sergeant holding the wine jar and picked up one. He lit a long fuse at the mouth of the altar with fire, and then threw the sealed jar into the middle of the opposing siege troops.

As soon as the jar hit the ground, there was a loud explosion. Fan Xu, Zhou Bo and the sergeant looked together, only to see the other sergeant lying in a pool of blood. The few people closest to the altar were already a blur of flesh and blood, and some of them were incomplete even their corpses. The sergeants farther away from the altar were lying on the ground and wailing, and although they survived, they were also seriously wounded.

Looking at this huge destructive force, Liu Bang's sergeant was completely stunned. They had never seen such a weapon, and they had never seen such a tragic scene.

Zhou Bo looked at the dead and wounded enemy soldiers under the city, turned around and counted the remaining altars, and found that there were still twelve altars. Suddenly I was excited.

Fan Hao looked at Zhang Liang in disbelief and asked, "This ...... This is what "gunpowder" you do? ”

Zhang Liang didn't answer him, but picked up the megaphone again and shouted at the dragon and the troops: "Lao Tzu repeatedly, whoever dares to take a step forward, Lao Tzu will send him to the Netherworld!" ”

Long Ji and his own sergeants were completely frozen, and they couldn't help but tremble as they watched the changes on the battlefield. Heard Zhang Liang's shouting. They all looked at each other in unison, their eyes full of horror. It seems that the person standing on the city wall is not a person, but a demon from hell!

Seeing that the sergeant below was still standing in place, Zhang Liang used all his strength and let out a loud roar at them: "Get out of here!!!! ”

With Zhang Liang's roar, the Chu army under the city gradually came back to their senses. After a few moments, they fled like frightened rabbits. Some sergeants even shouted while running: "Butcher of the Urn Valley!" Butcher of Urn Valley!! ”

Long Ji looked at the fleeing sergeant, his heart full of anger and unwillingness. He glared at Zhang Liang for a long time before he had no choice but to order the army to retreat.

An offensive and defensive battle ended only because of a wine jar thrown by Zhang Liang.

Seeing the retreat of the Chu army, the soldiers defending the city cheered and jumped for joy. They were glad that they had Zhang Liang and that they were Liu Bang's sergeants.

Seeing the retreat of the Chu army, Zhou Bo hurriedly asked Zhang Liang, "Zhang Situ." Why don't you continue to use this thing, we can completely destroy the dragon and the army! ”

Zhang Liang glanced at Chu Jun, who died under his gunpowder, and then replied to Zhou Bo: "I can't do it, it's too miserable." With that, he turned and left alone.

At this time, Fan Xu and Zhou Bo realized that this special weapon could indeed help them achieve victory, but behind the victory was the tragic situation they did not want to see. It's too horrible and cruel for humans......

After this defeat, the dragon no longer dared to take the initiative to attack. Because he really didn't know how to deal with that terrible weapon. Even if the whole army was asked. No one has ever seen it. In desperation, he had no choice but to garrison the army. Confrontation with Hangu Pass. At the same time, he urgently ordered the messenger to report everything that happened to Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng.

In the evening, Xiahou Ying's 50,000 troops successfully arrived at Hangu Pass. When he learned that Zhang Liang had repelled the opponent's army of 50,000 with only one wine jar, he was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth.

After nightfall, Zhang Liang could not withstand Xiahou Ying's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and decided to show the power of his gunpowder in front of the troops.

When the moment of the explosion reappeared in front of everyone's eyes. Everyone was shocked, even horrified.

Looking at the scars left by the explosion on the ground and the frightened faces of the sergeants, Zhang Liang suddenly felt that he had made a great mistake. He brought a horror to this era, its existence. It only brings death and suffering.

"Am I doing something wrong? Maybe it shouldn't exist. ”

After hearing Zhang Liang's self-talk, Xiahou Ying hurriedly comforted: "Zhang Situ, don't be too harsh on yourself. Imagine if Xiang Yu came in, how could he easily let go of these soldiers and people. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liang nodded slightly. At this moment, this seemingly high-sounding excuse became his only reason to enlighten himself.

Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng were both shocked after receiving Long Ji's battle report.

"I didn't expect him to be alive. And there are such powerful weapons. "Xiang Yu was a little worried about the weapons described in the battle report.

Fan Zeng closed his eyes tightly, thinking about how to deal with it.

Seeing that Fan Zeng didn't speak, Xiang Yu hurriedly asked: "Father, should we speed up the process, wait until the army meets and fight, and then attack the city together." No matter how powerful that weapon is, it won't wipe out my 400,000 troops. ”

Regarding Xiang Yu's proposal, Fan Zeng just shook his head, and then said slowly: "Yu'er, if that weapon is really as powerful as Long He said, I'm afraid that we will only increase casualties if we go!" Even if you hit Hangu Pass, you will lose a lot. ”

Hearing Fan Zeng's words, Xiang Yu hurriedly asked, "Does that father have a countermeasure?" ”

Fan Zeng pondered for a long time before slowly replying: "Yu'er, I have two strategies to help you enter Hangu Pass. ”

Knowing that Fan Zeng had a countermeasure, Xiang Yu hurriedly asked: "I still hope that my father will give me advice!" ”

"First, follow Liu Bang's example. Bypass Hangu Pass and take Wuguan directly. But if Wuguan also has this weapon, then it can only be taken by force! This is the next step. Second, quickly send troops to King Han and capture Princess Han Shu and Lu Zhi. Both of them are Zhang Zifang's beloved, and the Korean princess is already pregnant with his flesh and blood, if she is used as a threat, Zhang Zifang will be chaotic, and she will be jealous. We took advantage of this time to capture Hangu Pass. This is the best policy. ”

After listening to Fan Zeng's strategy, Xiang Yu immediately frowned. After thinking about it for a long time, he replied to Fan Zeng: "Father, how can a husband be blackmailed by other people's wives and children!" Do you have a solution? ”

Seeing that Xiang Yu was still unwilling to use Zhang Liang's wife as a threat, Fan Zeng had to shake his head helplessly and said: "Yu'er, you need to know that you can't have the kindness of a woman when facing the enemy, how can you take over the world like this." Anyway, if you don't want to do this, then send people to surround the capital of King Han first, just saying that it is to protect the safety of King Han and the princess. Use this to deter the ovary and force him to sacrifice the pass. That's the way to go. (To be continued.) )
