Chapter 207: Sweeping
Chapter 207
City.
The resistance of the Han army was nearing its end.
Wang Shang swept all the way along the long streets of Xicheng to the center, and the Han soldiers who fell to the ground along the way did not let Wang Shang stop, and his target was Liu Bang of the Han Palace.
"Liu Bang, the king of Han, is recuperating in the city." I don't know who informed Wang Shang of this extremely inaccurate information, which made him excited all of a sudden.
If Liu Bang can be captured in one fell swoop, then the Han State basically has no cohesion, and then, the Qin army can follow the Han River all the way east, take Nanjun, and march to Jianghuai, thinking of this, Wang Shang only feels that the goal of the unification of the world is in front of him, as long as he reaches out and grabs it, it can be easily obtained.
When people are excited, they tend to ignore something.
For example, Wang Shang did not notice that among the kneeling Han soldiers, there was a tall figure with his head lowered, anxiously waiting for the Qin army to pass quickly.
When Xiahou Ying was in the city, she looked for an opportunity to go down the city wall, and then found the corpse of a Han soldier with a similar figure, and directly got down her clothes and changed into her body. At the same time, he also dressed his general's armor neatly for the Han soldier who died very well, and in order not to show flaws, Xiahou Ying even stabbed the corpse wound a few times with a halberd.
Subsequently, Xiahou Ying mixed in with the fleeing rebels, hoping to sneak out of the city when the Qin army was vying to enter the city, but he didn't want Wang Shang's men and horses to enter the city too quickly, so he blocked him on the long street.
The dignified Han State Tenggong.
The most trusted generals under Liu Bang, the king of Han, had to kneel down to the Qin people like other pawns and beg for mercy, which made Xiahou Ying feel resentful in his heart.
However, he didn't want to die yet.
No matter what, as long as you can escape, there will always be a day when you will ask the Qin people for the humiliation they suffered today.
For a moment. Xiahou Ying slowly raised her head. He took a sip at Wang Shangyuan's back, then turned around and disappeared into a half-section of a private house in the city.
――。
Yangping Hou Cao Shen Fuzhong.
There was silence, compared to the noise outside, it was so calm that even a needle could be heard falling to the ground, Cao Shen just lay quietly in the courtyard of the house, looking at a locust tree in the patio with a pair of eyes, I don't know what he was thinking?
"General Wang, is there anyone here?" A cry of surprise rang out.
Immediately, there was a sound of neat and rapid footsteps. Cao Shen's eyes were closed, and without turning his head, he could guess that it was not a Han pawn who entered the mansion, but an old opponent Qin Ren.
In terms of performance, this time the Qin army won more with less, relying on the superiority in strength to bully people, but in fact, Cao Shen understood the training quality of the generals. The outcome of the battle was decided. The one-to-four ratio of troops is not terrible for the defending side, but what is really terrible is the difference in the quality of the soldiers on both sides.
Wang Shang hurriedly entered the house. When he saw Cao Shen lying down, he was slightly relieved in his heart, and just now, Wang Shang, who was on a rampage all the way, didn't catch any big names in the Han Palace. Mo said that it was Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, that is, he did not even meet a famous Han army general.
Cao participated in Wang Shang's many fights, and they were acquaintances on the battlefield. Wang Shang looked at it for a while, and saw clearly that the person in front of him was Cao Shen himself.
"General Cao, why do you look like this? Can you tell us, where is King Han? Wang Shang asked, not being able to catch Liu Bang made him feel like a thorn in his heart, very uncomfortable.
"King Han, haha, General Wang doesn't have to worry about it, King Han has already turned back to Wancheng early." Cao Shen's pale and blood-lost face was a little proud.
Even if he loses, it is a kind of pleasure to be able to disappoint the Qin people.
"Cao Shen, are you still obsessed? Liu Bang abandoned Xicheng and abandoned you, but you still have to work hard for him, you really don't regret it. Wang Shang reprimanded angrily.
"Phew, Qin Dog, don't do a plan to sow discord, your grandfather Cao is not rare, a life is here today, if you want to kill it, you have to take it." Cao Shen took a mouthful of blood and said with a sneer.
Wang Shang was stunned by Cao Shen, and his heart was also angry, originally he still had a little admiration for Cao Shen's ability, but now he didn't even have half a good impression.
"Come on, escort the enemy generals down, and wait for Li Hou to fall." Wang Shang shouted loudly.
"Haha, General Wang didn't bother, Cao Mou decided it himself." Cao Shen said, as he spoke, a short dagger had pierced into his heart in Cao Shen's hand.
Blood flowed slowly.
With a little unwillingness, with a little melancholy, Xicheng fell, and Cao Shen, the general of the Han army, committed suicide.
――。
Compared with Cao Shen, who killed himself, Xiahou Ying did not have the courage to commit suicide.
After hiding in Tibet to avoid the search and arrest of the Qin army, he finally escaped to the east moat of Xicheng, where the city walls were broken in many places, as long as he turned over slightly, he could jump into the river, and then dive into the Han River to escape. Xiahou Ying hit this idea.
"Who?" A shout woke Xiahou Ying from a sweet dream, and it was a Qin army search team that found Xiahou Ying hiding at the base of the city wall.
Xiahou Ying's heart was broken, and she couldn't care about anything else for a while, so she turned over with all her strength and ran towards a breach in the city wall.
Li Zhongxiang's eyelids jumped, and the fleeing Han pawn in front of him gave him a familiar feeling, that is, the Han general who escaped his arrow in the first day of attack.
"Chase, don't let him escape." Li Zhongxiang shouted, flipped his wrist, grabbed the big bow in his hand, put the arrow on the bowstring, opened the bow for the full moon, and almost didn't take any aim, he shot an arrow and shot at Xiahou Ying's fleeing figure.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow to chase your life!
Xiahou Ying's feet were soft for a while, and his heavy body fell forward at once, rolling down from the broken point, this fall made him fall with a blue nose and swollen face, but he was also lucky to let the archer Li Zhongxiang miss the key point with an arrow again.
Last time, Li Zhongxiang swept the tip of Xiahou Ying's hair with an arrow.
This time, the same arrow hit Xiahou Ying's left shoulder, making him almost cry out in pain, and in the continuous rolling process, the arrow shaft collided with the hard mud and stone, and was embedded in the bone again and again.
"Porphy!"
Before Li Zhongxiang fired the arrow again, Xiahou Ying finally rolled to the moat, and quickly dived to the bottom of the water, when he was in Pei County, Xiahou Ying often went to the river to swim, this time, it was this boy's trick that allowed him to escape the pursuit of the Qin army.
――。
The West City was conquered.
The Qin army finally opened the gate of Hanzhong County, and at the same time, after hearing the news of the loss of Xicheng, the Han general Lu Ze, who fought and retreated on the Bao Slope Road, had no intention of fighting, and hurriedly burned the plank road at one end of the Slope Valley, and then fled with a team of Han troops along the Slope Valley to Wuguan.
In the third year of the Qin New Calendar, April 9.
Feng Xuanjun went all the way over the mountains and mountains, and Wang Shangjun successfully joined forces at the southern end of the sloping valley, but unfortunately, the plank road connecting Hanzhong and Guanzhong was burned badly because of a section of the plank road, and it was temporarily impassable.
On 12 April, Han Xin led his army to attack Wuguan, an important pass at the junction of Hanzhong and Nanjun. Although the geographical location is very important, it does not play much of a blocking role for the Qin army attacking from the front line of Hanzhong, and the topography of Wuguan allows it to play a greater role in resisting attacks from the eastern part of the country.
On April 14, the Qin army attacked Wuguan, and the Han army general Han Wangxin fled without a fight, and in the first head-to-head duel between the two Han Xin, the more famous and talented Huaiyin Han Xin in history had the natural upper hand.
After Wuguan was captured, the Qin army completely occupied Hanzhong County, except for a few small county towns that were still in the hands of the Han army, and all other places were annexed to the Qin State except for useless resistance.
At the same time that Han Xin captured Wuguan, the Qin general Wang Shang was ordered by Li Yuan to begin to attack the Langzhong region along the Daba Mountains to the south. In the face of the menacing Qin army, the Han county commanders of each county obediently offered their Fu books one by one, knelt on the road outside the city, and begged for the Qin army's forgiveness.
Li Yuan was not embarrassed by these internal affairs officials, and after asking whether they were the cronies of Liu Bang, the king of Han, he ordered to appease those officials selected by the elders of Ba County, as long as they could continue to cooperate with the Qin army's offensive and implement the policies of the Qin state, it was not impossible to stay in office.
In the Bashu area, what really made Li Yuan pay attention to the area of Shu County, this later country of abundance, the Chengdu Plain was still occupied by the army of the Han general Li Shang, Li Shang after learning that the Qin army was going south, his attitude was extremely strong, not only ordered the soldiers to block the Shiniu Road, but also personally led a group of men and horses to move to the Ba County area, trying to block the Qin army from Shu County.
Among the generals of the Han army, Li Shang's talent is the third person after Cao Shen and Zhou Bo, but now the connection between Li Shang and Liu Bang has been basically severed, and a lone army is alone in a remote county, facing the aggressive offensive of the Qin army, Li Yuan does not think that Li Shang can hold out for long.
Even if the merchants don't fall, there is nothing?
Because the fathers and elders of Shu County would not be of the same mind as Li Shang, they could not bear the thunderous wrath of the Qin army. Therefore, Li Yuan was not in a hurry.
Wang Shang's vanguard only needed to occupy Bajun, and then, when Han Xin captured Wuguan, and then mobilized the Qin army to go south, Li Yuan did not believe that Li Shang's little force could pose any threat to the Qin army.
Hanzhong County changed hands.
Let the Qin army regain the key to grasp the general trend of the world, the iron ore mining in Fuxian has been prepared, after eliminating the Han army shili that may threaten the safety of the army, Li Yuan can have no worries about mining the open-pit iron ore in Fushui, and at the same time, he can also try to shiyan a series of advanced iron-making methods such as steel filling jishu.
As long as he can forge an iron sword that is refined and soft one day earlier, the Qin army will be able to lead the Kwantung princes in weapons, and will be able to have an advantage in science and technology that other princes cannot match, and this is Li Yuan's greatest capital to dominate the world.
