Feng Tie's bold advance undoubtedly won an extremely favorable opportunity for the Qin army. The land of Lingnan is vast and sparsely populated, and Hengxian is also a thousand miles away from the nearest county seat, and after the neighboring South Vietnamese army heard the news of the loss of Hengcheng, ten days have passed, and when it reaches the ears of Zhao Tuo in Panyu, it is already more than half a month later.

Zhao Tuo hurriedly ordered the news to be blocked, and it was strictly forbidden to talk about anything related to it. But it was too late, and the news of the Qin army's southward movement had already spread, and the news was all over the city. A few days later, it was reported that the army of the Qin State had been overwhelmed and was slowly moving south towards Bushan County, the county of Guilin County. The general Wu Mu led the hastily assembled South Vietnamese army to counterattack, but most of them were scattered under the counterattack of the Qin army, and they had to retreat to Bushan in fear, and quickly asked Zhao Tuo of Panyu for help.

Zhao Tuo was already panicked at this time, he ordered the retreat of the army that had invaded Minyue, and on the other hand, he gathered all the troops that could be requisitioned, with a total of 300,000 troops, and after going north to join the Wumur Division, he wanted to completely defeat the Qin army that had invaded this rash invasion by virtue of the absolute superiority in troops.

In fact, the Qin army was not ready to recover South Vietnam, and at this time it was only a vanguard army that entered Lingnan, numbering only 5,000, and the commander was the general Gan Xiao, and Han Xin was still handing over Bashu in distant Chengdu.

Gan Xiao, who was leading the army to open a path in the jungle, immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity after being rewarded by Feng Tie. After the Kuaima newspaper and Han Xin, Gan Xiao made a quick decision, and while strictly ordering the construction of the road to be accelerated, he personally led 5,000 lightly armed foot soldiers to cross the jungle and rush to South Vietnam with his bare hands.

It was precisely because of Gan Xiao's decisiveness that when Wu Wu hurriedly rushed to Heng County with the assembled South Vietnamese army, the city was already heavily guarded, and the South Vietnamese army, which could not get close, had to retreat, but the soldiers continued to flee, and in less than a day, they had already fled to 20%. Seeing this, Gan Xiao took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and fiercely pursued the 50,000 army of Wumur with only 3,000 foot soldiers, but the result of the battle was jaw-dropping, and the South Vietnamese army staged a great rout, or a great escape, under the pursuit of the 3,000 Qin army.

When the banner of the Qin army was not close, the South Vietnamese soldiers dropped their weapons and scattered, and even knelt on the ground and held their weapons high, and many soldiers even happily went to surrender to the Qin army.

It is hard for people to imagine that such a rabble is the army of tigers and wolves that swept through Lingnan back then. More than half of the people of Baiyue were killed and wounded under the fierce offensive of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and at that time, the Southern Expeditionary Army was worthy of the title of "Southern Strong" and was a qualified Qin army.

But now, under the torture of the destruction of the homeland and the severance of the hometown, the Southern Expeditionary Army has long lost the sharpness of the year. Coupled with the extremely poor military technology in Lingnan, it is difficult to repair the damage of bows and crossbows, resulting in a continuous decline in combat effectiveness, and it is still very difficult to fight against small barbarian countries, let alone against the regular Qin army legions.

In fact, these are all diseases of scabies, and the Southern Expeditionary Army still has a complete structure, and still has the strict orders of the Qin Army, advancing and retreating consistently, and it is still a formidable force on the battlefield. It's just that when they faced the Qin State banner that they were very familiar with back then, they couldn't muster the courage to fight no matter what.

On the one hand, Gan Xiao stepped up to rein in the South Vietnamese rout, re-disrupted them and temporarily organized them into an army, and made the Qin soldiers as the leaders, and ordered them to stay behind to meet the Qin army that continued to move south. He himself led the light troops to continue southward, desperately pursuing the South Vietnamese army, running for more than a thousand miles. It was not until they encountered resistance from the South Vietnamese army under the city of Bushan that they retreated.

Gan Hsiao's judgment was correct, if he retreated one day later, he would be swallowed up by the South Vietnamese army that had come to reinforce him.

When Zhao Tuo came to Bushan County, his face turned pale in the face of such a defeat.

This can no longer be regarded as a defeat, but a rout and flight, and all kinds of unfavorable circumstances made him very soberly understand that the South Vietnamese army would never be able to fight against the Qin army alone outside his control, even if it was ten times the number of soldiers and a hundred times the number of soldiers, it would be useless.

Relying on the prestige accumulated for more than ten years, the restlessness in General Zhao Tuo was forcibly suppressed, at least on the surface.

More than 1,000 soldiers who had escaped were captured and displayed in front of the barracks to deter the three armies. The three armies were rewarded, and the food supply was doubled, and wine and meat were served regardless of the cost. At the same time, a curfew is enforced in the camp, and anyone who makes noise in the camp after sleeping will be killed. The army implements a joint security system, with one tithe and ten people as a guarantee, and if one person escapes, he will kill all of them, so that the soldiers can supervise each other and be on guard day and night.

Zhao Tuo judged that this Qin army was only a small force, not the Qin army that he had been worried about moving south. Only then did he feel a little relieved, so he hyped up in the army, saying that this Qin army was only a small remnant of the Qin army in exile in the south, not an expeditionary force sent by the Qin state. The Qin State had already perished after the Julu Attack, and these Qin troops were just used to confuse the hearts of the Southern Expeditionary Army under the banner of the Qin State.

Zhao Tuo relied on the means of grace and power to stabilize the hearts of the South Vietnamese army. He has been in the army for many years, and he is a general with rich experience in a hundred battles, so he naturally knows that the reason why this Qin army's light army won all the way south is nothing more than that the people of Lingnan miss their homeland a lot, so they have no intention of fighting. If you want to keep the situation in South Vietnam, you must drive this Qin army out of Lingnan before the main force of the Qin army moves south, block the pass road again, and completely cut off the idea of the Qin army going south to recover Lingnan.

Therefore, after stabilizing the morale of the army, Zhao Tuo immediately pulled out the camp and went north, with a total of 320,000 troops, and marched north along the Cangwu Road, wanting to take advantage of the Qin army's unstable foothold to drive them out of South Vietnam with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.

Under the day and night rush of the people, the road from Bashu to Lingnan has been opened at this time, although it is extremely simple, but it can also supply tens of thousands of Qin troops to the south. After Han Xin received Ganxiao's reward in Chengdu, he also had no time to mobilize more troops from Guanzhong and Hanzhong. Bashu is a newly acquired land, the people's hearts are not stable, and it is impossible to empty all the garrisons, and the only troops that can be dispatched by Han Xin are the pro-army of the headquarters plus the second battalion of soldiers and horses under the command of Yingbu, an army of less than 20,000 people.

The soldiers were very fast, and Han Xin didn't wait to gather more troops, so he could only rush south with this bit of soldiers and horses, and came to Hengxian County through the newly built path.

Gan Xiao's decisiveness gave the Qin army the upper hand, which also made Han Xin greatly appreciate him and promoted him to General Wei as a reward. Feng Tie, the bold scout general, was exceptionally promoted to the rank of military marquis, and the newly collected more than 30,000 troops were collected into one, from which more than 10,000 people were selected to be reliably distributed with weapons, which were temporarily commanded by Feng Tie.

At the same time, a scepter symbolizing the general of the Qin State was erected in Hengxian County, and nearly 100 small groups of rangers were dispatched, so that they could spread the news of the Qin army's southward march to recover their homeland to the surrounding places.

After receiving the news that Zhao Tuo personally led his army north, Han Xin immediately responded, leaving the newly occupied land and newly acquired people under the control of Gan Xiao, and he himself led all the Qin army south to meet Zhao Tuo.

The vanguard of the two armies collided head-on on the Cangwu Ancient Road, and there was a scuffle, and the South Vietnamese army suffered a small setback, losing thousands of soldiers. Zhao Tuo was worried that the South Vietnamese army was too large and that it might be difficult to arrange for a hasty battle, so he ordered the front army not to take the initiative to attack, but to wait for all the troops to arrive before facing the Qin army. The Qin army launched several fierce attacks, and although they won big victories one after another, they also suffered a lot of losses, and Han Xin also ordered to stop harassing and attacking in order to preserve his strength.

At the intersection of the Cangwu Ancient Road and the Hongshui River, there is a plain formed by the impact of the river, and Han Xin and Zhao Tuo will invariably set their eyes on this place, and tacitly set this place as a place of battle.

By the time the sun rose over the far hills, the South Vietnamese army camp was in disarray, and a large number of non-commissioned officers had been driven out of their tents, hurriedly put on their armor and weapons, and scurried around like headless flies, and the scolding officers punched and kicked and hurried to the assembly area. The soldiers in charge of the meal brought the prepared breakfast, and the South Vietnamese soldiers ate the breakfast while lining up in a chaotic queue.

By the time it came, in the corner of sunrise, the 330,000 army had already completed the array sorting, with 10,000 people as a phalanx, and more than 30 phalanxes were stacked on top of each other. After Zhao Tuo was in the middle of the formation, the main forces were assembled in the center and divided into a number of small phalanxes in the shape of fish scales, which were arranged according to echelons, and the front end was slightly convex, which belonged to the standard offensive formation.

It was a dusty sky rolling up on the horizon, rumbling like thunder, and a large black cloud was approaching the South Vietnamese army formation. Swords and guns were like a forest, horses were like thunder, and the 24,000 Qin army platoons formed a huge defensive phalanx.

When they were three miles away from the South Vietnamese army, the Qin army stopped in unison and shouted in unison. The crossbowman is in front, the sword and shield are second, and the halberd is last, a standard Qin army formation. The South Vietnamese army on the opposite side saw that although the Qin army was small in number, its military appearance was neat, and it couldn't help but feel timid.

Zhao Tuo looked at the Qin army's strict formation from a distance, with bright clothes and armor, and couldn't help but think of the days when he was born and fought to the death in the Qin army in a trance, and he couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart. Strengthened his mind, calmly ordered the drum to attack.

The war drums sounded in the South Vietnamese army, and several military formations in the front row slowly moved forward, and the soldiers held high halberds and slowly approached in a fairly neat phalanx.

Zhao Tuo did not leave any behind, he knew that the South Vietnamese army was unstable, and the only way to completely defeat the Qin army with a single blow with the sharpness of the new war was the most secure tactic.

This was a strange war, but the Qin army of more than 20,000 people was ready for the 330,000 South Vietnamese army, and it was fought with all their might, which has to be said to be a rare spectacle in the history of war.

Han Xin, who was watching from afar, looked at it calmly, smiled and smiled at Yingbu beside him; "Although the South Vietnamese Army has been fighting for a long time, after all, it is the old background of my Qin army, you see their formation pace, although it is a little messy, but it still has a good appearance."

Yingbu squinted his eyes and snorted; "In my opinion, it's just a chicken, a dog, you look at the faces of those soldiers, it's clear that they are afraid, they don't even have the slightest will to fight, if this kind of army can win the battle, it can only be said that we are too embarrassed. As long as the whole army is ordered to form a defensive formation, I think they will not be able to attack, as long as they hold on for an hour, the South Vietnamese army will inevitably be exhausted and want to retreat, and then we will counterattack, and we will definitely be able to break the enemy army. ”

Han Xin shook his head with a smile, Yingbu was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzled; "Am I wrong?"

Han Xin smiled, "That's right, what you said is indeed the safest way, but I don't plan to do it. ”

"And what do you want to do?" Yingbu asked with a puzzled expression.

"Attack." Han Xin said in a deep voice. "I want to attack, I want to play the majesty of the Qin army, make them tremble, make them frightened, and make them completely lose the courage to resist, instead of retreating here to defend."

With 20,000 troops against an enemy army more than ten times his size, but still thinking about attacking, if this was not said from Han Xin's mouth, the people on the side would definitely say that this was a madman.

Yingbu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "It's so arrogant, it seems that I, Yingbu, didn't follow the wrong person, how about I ask for a pioneer." ”

Han Xin laughed; "Ten thousand people?"

Yingbu glared at him, and said arrogantly: "Why do you need 10,000 people, 5,000 light soldiers are enough." ”

After speaking, he turned over and dismounted, galloped to the headquarters, drew his sword and shouted; "Good son, follow me to kill the enemy and invite rewards."

"Kill!"

There was a rush of killing in the Qin army, and Yingbu and 5,000 Qin troops rushed out and rushed towards the approaching South Vietnamese army. Zhao Tuo couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that the Qin army did not rely on the military formation to defend, but instead counterattacked, but still calmly ordered the two wings to follow, intending to sweep away the brave Qin army and eat them first.

Zhao Tuo's idea was right, decent, both offensive and defensive, but he obviously ignored Yingbu's explosive power. In the Battle of Julu that year, Yingbu only took 20,000 miscellaneous Chu troops to beat Zhang Han's 200,000 elites backwards again and again, and was forced to retreat to protect himself. Although there are only 5,000 people behind him now, he is the most brave and fearless light soldier in the Qin army, and the combat effectiveness that erupts in an instant is not something that a South Vietnamese sergeant who has no will to fight can compete with.

The 5,000 light soldiers of the British cloth were like a sharp blade into the South Vietnamese army, vertical and horizontal, invincible. The momentum of the Qin army's fierce death shocked all the South Vietnamese troops, and Yingbu was even more brave at the moment, no one could stop it, and the South Vietnamese army in front of him was almost cut off with a single hand. The light soldiers behind Yingbu seemed to have become tireless killing machines, just silently and constantly rushing forward, constantly waving the big knife in their hands, forward, forward, and forward!

There were only 5,000 people, but like a black dragon, the military formation of the South Vietnamese army was completely disrupted, so that the South Vietnamese soldiers stopped in panic, and they retreated one after another in the face of the British and Bu, not daring to fight. And Han Xin took the opportunity to sweep and kill with the Chinese army, concentrated all his forces, attacked a little with all his strength, and pushed back the South Vietnamese army on the opposite side again and again.

Under the fierce attack of the Qin army, the South Vietnamese army was suddenly in chaos, the soldiers trampled on each other, and everyone had no intention of fighting again, but desperately wanted to retreat. The Qin army took the opportunity to continue the onslaught, forcing Zhao Tuo to retreat all the way, until he retreated to the last line of defense before he narrowly stood his ground and repelled the vanguard pursuit of the Qin army.

Zhao Tuo's face was pale, he never imagined that the army he had relied on all his life would be so vulnerable, and he could only reluctantly accept the reality. He ran back and forth in the army, shouting and giving orders with all his might, and finally after retreating ten miles, he allowed the army to reluctantly stand and re-encamp

The Qin army unexpectedly stopped the attack, and only pursued it and confronted the South Vietnamese army.

Several people dressed as civil officials approached the South Vietnamese Army under the escort of more than a dozen Qin soldiers holding shields high, and only stopped when they reached the place of 200 steps, and met the puzzled eyes of hundreds of thousands of people. "Qin was killed, the world was overthrown, but fortunately, thanks to the spirit of the ancestors, it survived. Zhao Tuo, Zhao's traitor, his parents died without mourning, first won the special favor of the first emperor, and then cut himself off from the Qin State, such disloyal and unjust, unkind and unfilial people, they are all the people of Great Qin, why not abandon them......"

At first, Zhao Tuo was still patient to hear what Han Xin wanted to say, but when he heard the back, his eyes suddenly cracked, and he pointed at the Qin civil official angrily and shouted: "Shoot him, shoot him to the widow." ”

Dozens of sparse feather arrows flew out, but they were just chaotic and powerless, and they were easily separated by the Qin army's shield. Most of the South Vietnamese soldiers in the front row were just pretending to be bows, and the arrows they shot out were inaccurate, and many of them even hung down their arrows, just listening intently.

Seeing the soldiers like this, Zhao Tuo was furious, and urged him to step forward and grab the bow and arrow, and shoot it out with his own bow. Back then, Zhao Tuo championed the three armies with bravery, and although his archery skills are not as good as before, they are not inferior, just one arrow shot the Qin official who was speaking loudly, and fell down with a scream. Soon after, someone picked up and continued to read aloud.

Zhao Tuo was extremely angry, and the arrows in his hand were fired one after another, killing six Qin officials one after another, but the follow-up people still did not hesitate to pick it up, and the edict of more than 400 words was finally read with difficulty. The meaning is nothing more than one, calling on the Qin people of the world to return to Qin.

Seeing that the army was boiling, Zhao Tuo knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly wanted to order the whole army to retreat. I saw that the dozens of Qin soldiers suddenly put down their shields, tore open their clothes with force, and shouted loudly in the sky;

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son. ”

"Do you say you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the child. ”

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son. ”

The roars of more than twenty men made the entire grassland hear clearly. Gradually, the 20,000 Qin troops sang loudly along with them, and the tragic song ran through the clouds and surrounded the air for a long time. The hands of the South Vietnamese soldiers who were gripping the halberds gradually loosened, and many of them lowered their heads with tears in their eyes.

Seeing this, a South Vietnamese officer shouted with his whip at the soldier's head-on; "Don't cry, whoever cries will kill him."

Several soldiers glared at him with red eyes. Suddenly, a man roared, stepped forward and hugged him violently, and a person next to him tacitly pulled out a short knife and plunged it into the officer's abdomen.

"On the contrary, we will go back to Qin." Several young men roared loudly, threw off their steps and left the army formation and ran towards the Qin army.

With the first, soon there will be the second, the third...... Countless of them, soon the escape swept the whole army, more and more South Vietnamese soldiers joined the ranks of defectors, and even the entire battalion of the main camp fled, even the people of the Six Nations who were on the sidelines, were carried into the fleeing team, and fled with their companions with their heads covered. Those officers in the South Vietnamese army who were loyal to Zhao Tuo could not stop it at all, and they did not dare to stop it, who knows if the originally obedient soldiers would kill themselves.

Zhao Tuo, who was on the horse, was like ashes, and he shouted and drew his sword and was about to kill himself, but was stopped by a cronie.

"King, we still have to lose, we still have a chance to turn the book. South Vietnam is so big, and it took so much effort for our 500,000 troops to capture it back then, and the Qin army will never waste its strength in this ghost place. We go back to Panyu, back to Panyu, Nanyue is still Nanyue, you are still your king of Nanyue! ”

Zhao Tuo could still speak at this time, but he just closed his eyes tightly and let his cronies see him forcibly take away.
