Hanzhong County, Qinling.

At this time, the Qinling Mountains were far from being developed like those of later generations, and jackals, tigers, leopards, snakes, scorpions, and poisonous bees were everywhere. Here, there is only what you can't think of, and nothing you can't see.

After all, in terms of grain production, the entire Central Plains is enough to feed hundreds of millions of people. But now, the entire population of China is only more than 20 million! If there is no war, no years of conquest, I believe that no one is willing to hide in the Qinling Mountains - this mountain isolated from the world!

In the face of nature, the "strength" of human beings is not worth mentioning! The endless Qinling Mountains reject war and human civilization. The ancestors didn't know how much blood and tears they had paid, and they reluctantly dug the meridian plank road, dug the oblique road, and dug the old road, and finally connected Hanzhong and Guanzhong together.

Every time the nearby hunters enter the mountain, it is a gamble, and they also have special reverence for the mountain gods. They know where their insignificance is, and they are grateful to be able to beg for food and clothing in the harsh and inaccessible Qinling Mountains. They will not feel that they have conquered the Qinling, but will thank the Qinling for allowing them to pass guò.

Tall trees obscured the sky, tigers roared in the distance, the damp ground, the smell of rot, and perhaps no human visit except for the occasional passing hunter. But things are strange, an army of tens of thousands of people is wandering in the depths of the Qinling Mountains.

"Go and ask the old man in front of you, how long is there to stay in Anyang!" A young general looked at the soldiers around him who were silent and silently moving forward, sighed in his heart, and said.

As soon as the guards beside the general heard the order, they immediately sped up and rushed to the front! Not long after, a hunter in his fifties and sixties was brought back by his guards. The old man was dressed in leopard skin, and his face was covered with the scars of time. After five or six days of getting along, he didn't have the appearance of trembling at the beginning. Arching his hand slightly, the old man said, "General! We'll be in Anyang tomorrow at noon! ”

The young general was excited and said with some surprise: "Are you sure? ”

He can't be blamed, the army has been walking in this kind of deep mountains and old forests for six days, and no one feels extremely tired. Obviously, the distance from Chenggu to Anyang is only one hundred and twenty miles. The army stayed in the Qinling Mountains for six days in the dark. If it weren't for the hardships he had suffered before, if it weren't for the strict military discipline, the young general would even wonder if the army would have run more than half of it first!

This army was the 40,000 Han army led by Han Teng. Since May 3, when he bypassed the Qin army on the Chenggu side and led his army headlong into the deserted Qinling Mountains, a top-secret plan began to stir the gears.

In this era, there is no guide, no map, dare to lead the army without taking the official road and plunging into the deep mountains and old forests. It is undoubtedly an act of looking for death. Especially in enemy-occupied areas, especially in places like Qinling, where there are no mountain roads and are full of vast primeval forests. Of course, Li Mu would not be stupid, and Han Teng would not be confused, the reason why they dared to make such a plan was also completely certain.

At the beginning, Li Mu was inclined to storm Chenggu, before the Qin army did not react at all. Take Nanzheng in one fell swoop, even if you pay 20,000 or 30,000 casualties. Li Mu also admitted it. As long as Nan Zheng takes it, Hanzhong's heart will be lost. No matter how desperately Baozhong and Chuyang hold on, they can't stop the offensive of the South Korean army. But Nanzheng, an impregnable city, has no bottom in his heart about how powerful the defense is. If the battle situation is at a stalemate, the situation is beyond the control of the South Korean army.

on this. Han Teng came up with a bold and crazy plan. That is, the soldiers are divided into two roads, all the way around Chenggu, take the mountain road and dense forest to Ke Anyang first, and then fight in the praise. At this time, the other way feinted to solidify. Attract the Qin army on the Nanzheng side! The Qin army will inevitably send the main force to Chenggu to support. Then the best opportunity for the Han army came, after winning Baozhong, he went straight to Nanzheng and cut off the main force of the Qin army!

There are two difficulties in this plan, one is how to overcome the obstacles set by nature to reach Anyang and Baozhong, and the other is how to communicate between the two parties. If the battle is fought early, Cheng Gu and Nan Zheng will definitely strengthen their vigilance, and Han Teng, who is deep behind enemy lines, will become a lone army! If it is too late to win the battle, in order to attract the main force of the Qin army, Li Mu's side will definitely pay more casualties and more than doubled!

The first problem was easily solved, Han Teng's scouts took a few of Chenggu's hunters away, and rewarded them with a huge profit of 100 gold, and let them lead the way to Anyang! Chenggu originally belonged to the territory of the Yong State, and later belonged to the Chu State, and then to the Qin State, and the people in this place did not have such a strong sense of belonging! There must be a brave man under the so-called heavy reward, and you can get money that you can't spend for a lifetime by taking a risk, and those who know the path are tempted! Han Teng chose Lao Cheng to lead the way steadily, and the others were guarded by the guards, and they hurried on the road.

As for the second question, it can only be a rough estimate. The hunters expect it to take about seven days to reach Anyang, and if you want to get from Anyang to Baozhong, you can take the diagonal road, which is shorter, and it will take about five days. Coupled with the possible delay on the road, Han Teng and Li Mu agreed that on May 15, Li Mu would attack Chenggu and force the Qin army of Nanzheng to return to help. Han Teng will win the praise in one fell swoop on May 17th. If the Qin army accidentally discovered the traces of Li Mu's army, it could only be Li Mu leading his troops to confront the Qin army, and the casualties would only be greater.

(Back to reality, continue.) ）

Orion looked at the blazing sun looming overhead, and said affirmatively, "General, don't worry! The old man has walked this road no less than dozens of times, and he can't be wrong, he can't be wrong! ”

Han Teng suppressed the excitement in his heart, nodded, and said, "That's good!" Let's lead the way in front! When you get to Anyang, the hundred gold will be indispensable for you. ”

"Hey! Ay! Orion rubbed his hands, evidently excited, saluted, and hurried forward! Nonsense, the sooner you get to Anyang, the faster you will get the money! The sooner the better, of course!

Soon, the hunters at the back of the team also confirmed the news that Anyang would arrive soon. Only then did Han Teng really believe that in less than twelve hours, his army of "nine deaths and one life" would be able to see the light of day again and give Anyang's defenders an unexpected gift!

Along the way, in order to hide his traces, Han Teng decided not to bury the pot and cook. If thousands of puffs of cooking smoke appeared in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, which had always been uninhabited, it would be strange if the Qin army did not doubt it! Along the way, all the hunters and medicine pickers they saw were all taken away with the army! These are all to hide their whereabouts. Even if you take Anyang. These people will not be free anytime soon! After all, Han Tengke still has to lead the army to sneak attack Baozhong! Once this news is leaked, it is very likely that tens of thousands of hard-working Han soldiers will be buried with them!

In order to make it easy to follow, 40,000 Korean soldiers set off with enough dry food for half a month. There are no chariots, no heavy tries, no war horses. Completely stubbornly relying on his legs to measure the distance from Chenggu to Anyang! Along the way, there were as many as 3,000 Han soldiers who died under the fangs of poisonous snakes, fell off a cliff, died of malaria, died of poisonous insect bites, and could not distinguish the methane! But Han Jun still gritted his teeth and survived. From the initial 40,000 full army corps to the present, less than 37,000 people are completely healthy! Many people have long lost their capable and neat military appearance because they have not received a big gift for a long time. The only thing that hasn't changed is their sharp eyes!

From afar, you might think they were a group of refugees fleeing the famine, or a group of soldiers who had lost a battle! After all, their clothes are not so neat, (Xiao Bingjia jumped out at this time and said disdainfully: "Ha! Come on! After six days of stumbling and crawling in the deep mountains and old forests, it is impossible for a normal person to keep his clothes intact! But if you despise them for this, you will regret it!

It was on May 8th. When the Han army was cheering because Anyang was imminent, the Zhushan ferry in Hedong County (let's think there is such a ferry.) To the east of the current city of Sanmenxia. The most famous crossing of the Yellow River in this era is Fenglingdu, a real battleground for soldiers! It's a different story!

Huan Qi only had 10,000 troops at the moment, while the Wei army on the opposite side still had more than 32,000 people, and the most unfavorable thing for the Qin army was that the Wei army, which had been cautious and cautious in the past, did not know what to stimulate this time. Be brave like never before! Their combat strength is inferior to that of the Qin army, but the Wei army, which launched the madness, can fill this gap with human lives! Moreover, as the Qin army failed to break through again and again, their love was inevitably lost.

Just when Qin Jun was thinking about how to cross the river and return to Hangu Pass. Wei reinforcements from Daliang also arrived as scheduled. Lang Zhong ordered Wei Qing to lead an army of 50,000 to block the last retreat of the Huan Qi army!

On the north bank of the river, Huan Qi camp.

Looking at the dense banners on the other side, the whole Huan Qi promised a sad face. None of the Qin troops thought they would have a way out, with more than 30,000 Wei troops on the opposite side, behind them was the surging river (the ancient name of the Yellow River), and even more fatally on the other side of the river, which sealed the possibility of them risking to cross the river. Qin Jun regrets it now, he should have known that he should have escaped in the night, even if the casualties were larger.

More than two or five hundred officers were summoned in the Qin army's central military tent, looking at Huan Qi in front of him, hoping that he would have an idea. Now whether they are fleeing north, fleeing westward or holding on to the spot, the life and death of the 10,000 Qin troops are all in the heart of Huan Qi.

Huan Qi didn't speak, he knew that no matter which choice he made, there were not many people in his army who could return to Hangu Pass! Defeat yourself, for a general, defeat is defeat. But it's not that the skills are inferior, it's that the number of enemy troops is too large and outnumbered! His 30,000 elite battles have left more than 13,000 people left, of which more than 3,000 have been sent to escort the people, grain and grass to Hangu Pass. But the casualties of the Wei army were even greater, a full 35,000 Wei troops died at the hands of the Qin army, and if you count the people who were plundered to Guanzhong by themselves, the losses of the Wei state were even greater! Calculated carefully, the Wei State should have lost more than 20,000 households, that is, more than 100,000 people!

After being silent for a long time, Huan Qi finally opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, the army has reached the moment of life and death, what should I do next!" Let's talk about it! ”

According to their status, the two or five hundred lords, who had never had the opportunity to attend such an important meeting, shouted out one after another. They fought on the front line, only knowing blood for blood and tooth for tooth. They won't come out with intrigues, they will just kill people, kill those who offend the prestige of Great Qin!

A two-five-hundred-hundred-hundred Needless to say! Of course, it's a kill! Anyway, the main force of the Wei army on the other side of the river can't come, Xin Huanyan, that dog mongrel, sends troops to attack, let's kill one by one, and we kill one by one! If they come in the thousands, we'll clean them up! ”

"That's it! We old Qin people don't have a bad seed! Kill one is enough, kill two to earn one, kill three to earn two! Checkmate! Take advantage of the fact that the Wei dog on the other side of the river is not coming, let's kill it! Someone immediately chimed in.

"No! Inappropriate! Checkmate! We're still holding on to help! The Wei dog on the other side of the river is not easy to cross the river, and the Wei dog on the opposite side can't take us! We grind them to death! "This is the construction of a few intellectuals.

"We're running out of rations. Only one month! There are more than 30,000 Wei dogs on the opposite side, and they can't be killed! Let's break out to the west! Take a county seat and supply it on the spot, and return to Guanzhong from Fenglingdu! "Some people still insist that they should break through.

"Fenglingdu, the Wei army is heavily guarded! I'm afraid that our little force will not be able to break through! Why don't we go into the mountains! "Someone is right

"Mt. Kunshan?" Someone immediately objected: "If we go into the mountains, how can we get supplies!" Let's eat wild fruits? ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Huan Qi secretly thought, more than ten miles to the west is Kunshan Mountain. In the past, he still had hope to deal with these 30,000 Wei troops. But now the 50,000 Wei troops on the other side of the river are eyeing each other. If the two sides get in touch, 30,000 Wei troops will attack, and 50,000 Wei troops will take advantage of the situation to cross the river, and they will not even have the strength to attack halfway. I can only watch as my army is surrounded and annihilated!

Although Huan Qi was convinced that according to Li Yao's cleverness, he could definitely judge that his army was in danger, but he did not come to help for a long time, and it was very likely that he was pinned down by the enemy. Perhaps, now Xianyang is shocked. The army is already on its way to help. Before the arrival of the main reinforcements, the only thing you can do is to preserve your strength as much as possible! The idea of escaping into the mountains is indeed a good one, and it is the most likely way to save the main force at the moment.

Two or five hundred lords, you quarrel with me, no matter up or down, and it took a while to realize that the main general Huan Qi had not spoken. Thinking of the strict military discipline, everyone stopped talking and waited for the commander to speak.

Huan Qi said in a deep voice: "It's not advisable to stick to it and wait for reinforcements, the reinforcements have not arrived." I'll be hit from both sides and cut off my way out! It is not advisable to fight back to the death, and I am loyal to the king. How can you die lightly. In the general's opinion, only three or five Wei troops can compare to a warrior in our Great Qin! The revenge of those Great Qin warriors who died in battle must be avenged by us! If we die in battle, our glory will be lost! ”

Looking around at everyone, Huan Qi said undoubtedly: "So, Ben will decide." Break through tonight overnight, and temporarily retreat into Kunshan to watch the situation! If the Wei army dares to chase, we will teach them a lesson! If the Wei army evacuates, we will disturb the chickens and dogs in Hedong! Violators. No mercy! ”

"Whoa!" Huan Qi was answered by a neat roar.

At the same time, the Wei army's Xin Huanyan camp was filled with joy! Every Wei soldier knew that the war was coming to an end. The Qin army in front of him, which is becoming more and more courageous, will not live for many days. There are more than 30,000 Wei troops besieged, and these more than 10,000 Qin troops will not be able to escape unless they have wings. Originally, the Wei army was worried that the Qin army would take advantage of the cover of night to cross the river, but now, there were more Wei troops on the other side of the river. The wise King of Wei sent an army of 50,000 to cut off the Qin army's return route, which was great news.

However, the smart middle and high-ranking officers of the Wei army knew that this war would not end so lightly! If it is just to eliminate the more than 10,000 Qin troops, the 20,000 or even 10,000 troops of the Great Liang faction are enough! But now, there are 50,000 reinforcements from Daliang! Use an army of 80,000 to besiege and kill more than 10,000 remnants of the Qin State? Such a big deal will never be so simple! Those ministers in the court must have a great plan!

"General! General Wei sent an envoy saying that they would cross the river immediately tomorrow, and that a radius of thirty miles on the other side of the river was under our control! Please also ask the general to intensify the offensive tomorrow and cover it! The adjutant said respectfully.

Xin Huanyan nodded and said, "Sue General Sù Wei!" I'll celebrate their success tomorrow at the camp! ”

"Whoa!" The lieutenant general wants to go down and give orders!

Xin Huanyan grabbed the deputy general and said with a smile: "Leave in such a hurry?" Sue the soldiers under Sù, beware of the Qin army's dying counterattack at night! Ben didn't want another breakthrough in Wu County! ”

The deputy general's expression was grim, when he was in Wu County, the Wei army was only released to return to the mountain because of Huan Qi's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and more than 10,000 Wei troops were damaged! Xin Huanyan thought that he was a great shame in his life! Don't look at the main general's usual words, but judging from the relentless pursuit of this Qin army, the main general has to destroy the other party! If they are allowed to run away again because of their carelessness, the deputy general will definitely have many people who will be unlucky!

"Whoa! The last general will arrange for someone to go to the vigil! With that, the lieutenant retreated.

Through the layers of big tents, Xin Huanyan seemed to see the Qin army not far away! Although the other party still looked unshakable, Xin Huanyan knew that the Qin army at the moment must be very flustered! Of course, even if you don't panic, it won't affect one result anyway - that is, stay and bury your subordinates who died in battle!

"Wait! I want to see you die in front of me in despair! Xin Huanyan secretly swore.

Night is gradually coming. But the evening breeze blew more and more urgently, and a thunderclap exploded in the sky, breaking the peace of the night! Immediately the sky began to shine incessantly, and the thunder became louder and louder from far and near! The lightning flashed across the earth from time to time, and everyone knew that a summer storm was coming. The neighing of war horses, the shouts of soldiers, even if the tiny human beings gathered into an army, seemed vulnerable to nature.

It was in such a chaotic situation that the Qin army broke through! (To be continued......)
