Hanzhong County Governance, Nanzheng.

The fire in the city gradually subsided, but the resistance of the Qin army continued. Three hours ago, one of the most prosperous shops in the east of the city was burned, and nearly 100 "thugs" disguised by the Korean army took advantage of the situation to attack the government office, causing chaos in Nanzheng for a while. That is, taking advantage of this effort, Han Teng took the 600 Yulin army equipped with the captured war horses as the vanguard and stormed the gate of Nanzheng West. Under the cooperation of the inside and outside, the South Korean army paid the price of nearly 1,000 casualties and successfully took the West City Gate.

There was such a breakthrough, and 20,000 Korean troops rushed in. The reaction of the Qin army was not unremarkable, and the Hanzhong County Guard even had time to organize more than 3,000 young men to carry out a counter-assault. The advantage of the Qin army is familiarity with the city, and the advantage of the Han army is the advantage of numbers. In tonight, it is clear that the number of people occupies the more important factor.

With the combination of crossbows, armor, and skillful street fighting, combined with numerical superiority and high morale, the goddess of victory fell to the prepared Korean army. Although the casualties of the Han army have exceeded 5,000 so far, the 5,000-strong army of the Qin army has only four or five hundred people left, and it is still besieged by the Han army in the southeast corner of Nanzheng, and the rest are all killed. The "treatment" of the 3,000 young men was better, most of them were routed and annihilated, and a few became prisoners. They were originally servants, guards, and the like, and naturally collapsed after Yingqu was shot.

A quarter of an hour later, the last few hundred Qin troops died in the desperate charge, and the last of Nanzheng's resistance disappeared, marking the official annexation of Nanzheng to Korean rule. At this time, the sky was already bright.

There was no time to rest for a while, so Han Teng began to command his subordinates to strengthen the city defense and comfort the people. He didn't think that in this fierce battle in the middle of the night, the Qin army would not have time to spread the news of this heavy dà to Chenggu. At present, in the entire twelve counties of Hanzhong County, only Chuyang and Chenggu are still in the hands of the Qin State. According to Han Teng's current troops. It is too dangerous to fight again in Chuyang, where there are 8,000 troops. The main force of the Qin army, which went to provoke Chenggu, hit the stone with an egg. Therefore, for the Han army, the most important thing now is to hold Nan Zheng and Baozhong.

Especially Nan Zheng, holding Nan Zheng is to cut off the retreat of Ren Yu's army. Under such circumstances, Ren Yu, who learned the news of Nanzheng's shocking change, would definitely want to open up the way back as soon as possible. Otherwise, Chenggu is a lonely city. The Art of War says. If there is no soldier to be saved, there is no city to defend inside. Becoming a turtle in an urn is definitely not what Chenggu Qin Jun wants to do. Therefore, it is very likely that Nan Zheng will face the counterattack of the Qin army, no, there should be no doubt.

Qin State, Xianyang.

Xianyang Palace is in a mess, this really can't be blamed on King Qin. Whoever changes to the position of King of Qin will not be able to calm his anger when he learns that there has been a change in Hanzhong County, which is the southern barrier. Hangu Pass was lost. The king of Qin endured it, and the offensive of the combined forces of Han, Wei and Chu in the direction of Yaoguan gradually weakened, and even had the intention of retreating.

Wu Anjun Bai Qi took advantage of the opportunity of the torrential rain and the surging water in Luoshui for several days, and skillfully attacked and flooded the allied forces of Yan, Zhao and Qi. Although it was unfortunate that Zhao Hao's 50,000 troops were reinforced in time that night. and withdrew some of the coalition soldiers overnight, but after dawn Bai Qi saw through it. Bai Qi immediately launched an all-out attack. The Qin army attacked the coalition army from the mountains and forests on both flanks, and the coalition army held out for two hours before declaring collapse, and immediately retreated to the shore of Luoshui.

Zhao Hao tried his best, but he only rescued 40,000 coalition soldiers, including 28,000 from the Zhao army and 5,000 from the Yan army. The Qi army was 7,000 people. At this point, the originally mighty 160,000 allied forces of Yan, Zhao, and Qi began with victory and ended with defeat.

In two months of fierce fighting, Zhao lost 73,000 men (Hexi County lost an additional 1,000 men), and Yan lost 25,000 men. The Qi State lost 23,000 people, and the three kingdoms paid a total price of more than 120,000 in exchange for the loss of one city and 60,000 people of the Qin State.

After this great victory, King Dayue of Qin immediately instructed Bai Qi to leave 40,000 troops to hold the Luoshui defense line, and the rest of the army returned to Xianyang. After all, in addition to those who died in battle and those who were stubborn, Bai Qi also had an army of 100,000. The king of Qin also thought of using this to retreat the combined forces of Han, Wei, and Chu, and warned Wei to make some small moves at Hangu Pass. If it is used well, after getting it in Nanyang, you can pass through Sanchuan County. It's just that with the changes in Hanzhong County, this plan is about to come to naught.

"Your Majesty! The scout just said that the land of the six counties east of Xunyang had all been acquired by Korea, and even Xicheng was also acquired by Korea, and the land of the five counties near Nanzheng should be safe. After all, it is densely populated, and there are 50,000 elites. Ren Yu, the lieutenant of Hanzhong County, has the courage of ten thousand people, and the county guards Yingqu are loyal, although the Han army sent 150,000 troops, but the number that can really reach Chenggu is only 100,000! With twice as many people, it is difficult to make an expedition of laborers! Prime Minister Wei Ran took the lead in saying.

As soon as Wei Ran spoke, the rest of the ministers also offered their words to calm the anger of King Qin.

Zong Zheng took the lead and said: "If the Han army wants to attack Nanzheng, it must first take Chenggu!" Chenggu City is strong and sharp, with an army of 5,000! Moreover, Nanzheng is only more than 100 miles away from Chenggu, and if the army is fast, it can be reached in one day. The cavalry speed is even half a day! Winning the well-guarded Chenggu in half a day is tantamount to a fool's dream! Even if it becomes an inherent change, Nanzheng has an army of 25,000, and an army of 15,000 in Chuyang and Baozhong as backup, so there is no need to worry about the future! ”

Wei Wei also said: "The minister sees it the same way. As long as the five counties of Nanzheng are in the hands of my Great Qin, we can go down the river and take the land of the seven counties of Xicheng and Xunyang one by one. However, in this case, the idea of attacking Nanyang County had to be changed. The meridian road is too narrow for the army to use, and our Great Qin can only take the oblique road into Hanzhong. This time is enough time for South Korea to hold on to Nanyang. The time has run out of surprise attacks! ”

"Indeed, the defeat of the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Qi will surely panic when the six countries of Shandong hear about it. Even the state of Wei, which took Hangu Pass, was no exception. The minister estimated that within half a month, the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Chu under the pass would inevitably retreat. Can the king consider sending Wu Anjun to lead his troops in pursuit, at least to take Wuguan to repel the enemy? Wei Ranjian said.

King Qin also calmed down the displeasure in his heart at this time, and said: "In the direction of Hangu Pass, the tendency of the widows is still to use Tongguan as a fulcrum and defense as the best. Luoshui defense line, Zhao Guo can also be said to have suffered a great loss of vitality after this defeat, and it is absolutely impossible to confront my Great Qin in a short period of time. As for the direction of Wuguan, this idea will not be fought for the time being. The idea of the widow was to send a large army to Hanzhong to support as soon as possible, and the first task was to restore the whole county of Hanzhong. Before Hanzhong County was taken, it was good to keep Taoguang obscure! (To be continued......)
