The cold wind in the early morning brought a chill, and although it was early summer, it was still generally cold at night in the north. The night sky was pitch black, and there was no trace of the moon, only a few bright stars dotted among them, which made it even more lonely and far away.

In the southwest of the pitch-black Guanzhong Plain, there is a place that is brightly lit and looks extremely dazzling in the wilderness.

Needless to say, this is naturally the county seat of Chencang, just the day before, the rebellious people had just defeated the army sent by King Yong under the command of General Fan Xu. Now Yongwang Zhanghan must be extremely annoyed, and gathered troops in Xianyang to try to counterattack, so the Chencang rebels did not dare to slack off, and under the allocation of Fan Xu, they strengthened the troops on duty at night.

At this moment, on the head of the city of Chencang County, torches are lit everywhere, and the city wall is like daylight. But what is strange is that there is no figure at the battlements and lookouts of the city wall, as if they are not defended.

After bypassing the city tower, the soldiers on duty showed their figures, and it turned out that the night wind was strong, and a group of defenders came here to take shelter from the wind.

I saw that many soldiers were gathering together, talking and laughing with each other, and repelling the loneliness of the night, and in the corner not far away, more soldiers were sleeping in a row with heavy snoring.

They are all local people in Chencang, and they have never received any orthodox military training, so naturally they have no discipline at all.

If Fan Xu, the general under the command of King Han, was here, these people might still be afraid and dare not relax so much. But now Fan Xu has left Chencang and personally went to Yongxian, not far to the west, to persuade the local county order to surrender. Without Fan Xu's moderation, the people naturally did not want to stand on top of the high city to blow the cold wind, so they simply went to the side of the city tower to avoid the wind.

What is the grade of this temporarily assembled rebel army, Fan Xu naturally knows in his heart that it is okay for the mob to create chaos, but it is definitely unreliable to march and fight.

The reason why he dared to leave Chencang was not because he trusted these rebels, but because he received information that Zhang Han's army could be assembled in Xianyang, and it would not be able to attack on the second day at the latest.

And Yongxian is not far from Chencang, and when the crusade army comes, Fan Xu will have already come back at that time, and there will be plenty of time to organize the actor.

Of course, Fan Xu's idea is very idealistic, but the problem is that he doesn't just think so, Chen Cang and everyone in Guanzhong think so. No one could have imagined that at this moment, Zhang Han had already led the army to the outside of Chencang City......

After a rapid march in the middle of the night, they finally arrived at their destination, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. On this way, although it was not all smooth sailing, there were basically no obstacles.

This is also thanks to Zhang Han's secrecy measures. Because Xianyang is under curfew, naturally no one knows that the army has been launched. And the soldiers in the army were also told the target of the attack before they set off, and then Zhang Han directly mobilized and set off. Even if one of them wanted to reveal the news, there was no chance.

So the army of thousands of people went all the way to the west unconsciously, bypassing the county seat of Waste, and even bypassing several counties with unknown attitudes such as Meiyang and Yixian, and went straight to the territory of Chencang, without encountering the slightest trouble along the way.

After arriving in the territory of Chencang, the army finally encountered some sporadic resistance, but this was undoubtedly a mantis arm, and Zhang Han had already prepared for it.

Encountering the enemy blocking the way, the front army rushed over and broke through the enemy's formation, and then the Chinese army followed to cover the kill, and the rear army cleaned up the battlefield. The front army broke through the defense and no longer cared, and was relieved to hand over the scattered enemy troops to the rear army, but only rushed to the front. With such an efficient speed, the resistance of these small forces had little effect on the march.

Moreover, the three stubble leeks were cut, which also ensured that there was no one alive, and the actions of the army would not be discovered in advance at all.

Zhang Han's arrangement of troops seems to be unremarkable, but it implies the art of war, and it also convinces the soldiers and generals in various counties. The so-called Great Qin Army God is really not covered.

Of course, although the resistance encountered along the way was negligible, it was also very hard to march in the middle of the night. But what is strange is that now it seems that there is no trace of exhaustion on the face of every soldier, only a frenzy on his face.

What they have is completely a keen heart to kill the enemy, and the Chen Cang rebels are in front of them, and everyone is gearing up, and they can't wait to charge and attack the city.

"All the armies stop, rest in place, and do not take out the branches of the trees in their mouths."

When he arrived five miles away from Chencang County, in order not to startle the snake, he naturally couldn't go any further. Zhang Han stopped the army, and with a few guards, he quietly approached the county seat of Chencang.

When they got closer, they saw that the city was extremely bright, but there was no defender, and everyone couldn't help but be a little confused.

"My lord, there seems to be no defense on this wall, is there some trick on the enemy?"

A county lieutenant on Zhang Han's side couldn't help frowning and put forward his own guess.

His subordinates were able to think of this problem, and Zhang Han naturally thought of it, but at this moment there was no way out, even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he had to bump into it without hesitation.

Without looking back, he whispered to the people behind him, "Don't be cranky, no matter what the enemy thinks, our plan will always remain the same. Since there are no defenders to defend, simply let the army get closer, and it will be easier to attack at that time. ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers who gave the order immediately turned and left, and a moment later the army followed in a crawling figure, hiding in the wild grass a man high.

Although the army was numerous, each of them had a branch in his mouth, and he crept to his feet, so that there was not the slightest sound, and there was still no movement above the city.

"King, why don't you do it now?"

Yunyang County, as a rear army before, naturally did not get much military merit, and the lieutenant of Yunyang County was anxious and couldn't wait to submit a request to Zhang Han to attack the city.

"No, wait a little longer, let the soldiers recover their strength again, and wait until the war starts in a while, then it will be a battle to the death."

Zhang Han's face was serious, but he did not agree to his request.

"Yes......"

The lieutenant of Yunyang County couldn't help but be a little stupid, and responded in a low voice.

Seeing Yunyang Wei like this, Zhang Han couldn't help but be a little funny, he patted the other party and said: "Don't be discouraged, since you are so eager to ask for battle, then when you wait for a while to attack the city, let Yunyang's soldiers take the lead, what do you think?" ”

"I can't ask for it, thank you King!"

Hearing Zhang Han's words, the Yunyang County Lieutenant was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank him. The commanders of the other counties looked at the Yunyang County Lieutenant with a hint of envy in their eyes.

Zhang Han, who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but sigh secretly, for hundreds of years in Great Qin, the tradition of heavy military exploits was really deep-rooted. The fanaticism and loyalty of soldiers for military exploits are absolutely unmatched by any army in later generations.

When he was sighing, Han Tan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"King, our army's march this time is extremely secretive, the enemy must not have prepared in advance, there are no defenders on the city wall, it can only be Chen Cang's own defense. I guess Fan Xu is most likely not in Chencang County at the moment, if there is only one chaotic people, it is a good opportunity for us. ”

Hearing Han Tan's words, Zhang Han thought about it for a while and understood what Han Tan meant.

Chen Cang is a lonely county, since the counties in the west have a vague meaning of falling to Liu Bang, then Fan Hao must be racing against time to win over the counties.

And without Fan Hao in charge, how can the rebels with no combat experience be able to defeat their own tiger and wolf army, this battle has a fifty percent chance of winning first.

"In that case, without further ado, let's go on the offensive." Zhang Han immediately made a decision, taking advantage of the fact that the defenders were defenseless at this moment, and decided to attack immediately.

He looked around and said, "Where is Captain Yunyang?" ”

"The end will be."

The lieutenant of Yunyang County did not dare to slack off, and fell to the ground on one knee to salute.

"It's now, let's do it!"
