Year after year.

The years are in reincarnation, changing their own colors.

After four years of arduous fighting, Li Yuan finally succeeded in bringing the Qin State on the track of rejuvenation and prosperity, in which the dignified black of the Qin State undoubtedly occupied the entire sky in 205 BC.

The Kwantung princes and the state of Qin.

Just like the boxers in the ring, the princes led by Xiang Yu and Liu Bang pushed their opponents to a desperate situation all the way, and it seemed that they only needed a light punch to completely end the game, but suddenly, they were hit hard by Li Yuan, an opponent who did not play cards according to common sense.

Almost instantaneously.

The seemingly powerful alliance of princes fell apart, and Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, Wei Bao, Wu Rui and other princes had their own selfish intentions, and they could no longer regain the trust of the former concentric poke force.

In order to win this decisive battle, the Qin State mobilized almost all of its national strength, and the standard bronze weapons mass-produced by the military in Lishan, Xianyang, were transported in batches through the Bao Chute Road.

In order to serve the role of Shiyan's new iron weapon, Sima Yin also transferred five hundred iron ring-headed swords from the military construction branch in Jinyang.

Five hundred.

This amount seemed to be a little less, but when Han Xin heard that it only took twenty days for the craftsmen to make it, he couldn't help but be greatly moved.

Jinyang military construction.

From the establishment to the present, it is only a short period of less than three months, among them, the placement of craftsmen, the construction of blast furnaces, the mining of coal and stone, as well as the transportation of iron and stone from Hanzhong, this series of problems are placed in front of Sima Yin, to solve them one by one, time is the most urgent.

The sharpness of the Qin-made ring-headed iron sword cannot be compared with the bronze heavy sword that has reached the peak of craftsmanship, but there is a performance victory, which has already doomed the inevitability that iron weapons will eventually replace bronze weapons.

Tenacity.

It is a weapon in the primary performance.

Currently, the bronze swords of the Qin State, although extremely sharp, are not durable. Every time the Qin army fights, it will inevitably destroy a large number of bronze weapons, such consumption makes the Qin State have to invest great manpower and material resources in the mining of copper ore, the production of weapons, and transportation, and the emergence of iron weapons, even if they are not as sharp as bronze swords, as long as they are tough enough, they can make the Qin soldiers fight continuously and repeatedly, and it will also play a great role in improving the combat effectiveness of the army.

Han Xin selected the second soldier to test the effect of the battle between iron and bronze, and the result was very gratifying, after more than ten collisions with the iron ring sword. It's just that there are some rolls on the blade, and if you kill someone, it won't be much of a hindrance.

The bronze sword is different, even if it is infiltrated with tin, a rare metal with extremely strong toughness, it cannot support many consecutive strong blows, and in the face of the contradiction between hardness and toughness, the craftsmen of the Qin State have done their best, and there is really no way to significantly improve the craftsmanship.

When the footsteps of the fourth year of Qin Xinli sounded, the Qin army finally completed the offensive deployment of Liu Bang's Han army, and this battle. The Qin army attacked from two directions.

The main direction of attack was Wuguan of Hanzhong County, with Han Xin, the head of Hanzhong County, leading an army of 50,000 recruits, including Bashu, Hanzhong, and troops from Longxi. Among the generals, Feng Xuan, a young general from Ba County, Cao Xin, a one-eyed fierce general from Longxi, and a large number of young Qin generals rushed to participate in the battle.

Han Xin's army will go east along the Hanshui road from Wuguan to Xiangcheng and Fancheng, if all goes well. Depending on the change in the battle situation, the Qin army could either go north to attack Nanyang County and Zhiwan City, or the troops could directly cross the river plain. The county administration of Nanjun is also the current capital of the Han Kingdom.

Compared with Han Xin, who was the main attacker, the Qin army on the other side belonged to a partial division, with fewer troops, only about 15,000 people, and this road started from Luoyang and attacked all the way to the south.

The leader of this partial division is none other than Li Yuan.

Under the rule of Sanchuan County, except for Xingyang in the southeast of Hujiao Pass, which is still in the hands of the Chu army, the rest of the places have belonged to the Qin State, Li Yuan left 5,000 soldiers for Jiang Yu in Hujiao Pass as a guard, and then led several generals including the border army generals Su Jiao, Menghu and Sanchuan County general Zhang Ping to lead troops to the south.

Let go and let Han Xin stand alone, this is trust, and it is also a heavy responsibility, Li Yuan means that he wants to hone Han Xin's ability in such a battle.

Li Yuan hopes that in the near future, a natural warrior like Han Xin will play on the stage not only in the Central Plains. At the same time, in order to prevent Liu Bang from having any new tricks, Li Yuan cautiously personally led the division to fight, so that even if Liu Bang had more conspiracies and tricks, Li Yuan could see the tricks and deal with them freely.

March.

Hanzhong County, located at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, is drizzling, the mountain flowers are blooming all over, and the breath of spring is rippling everywhere.

Wuguan.

On the pass, the banner of the Great Qin Dynasty was as black as ink, fluttering again, from Chu to Qin, from Qin to Han, and from Han to Qin, which made people feel the vicissitudes of the world at the same time, but also sighed at the strength of Qin's national strength.

The spring breeze is proud.

Han Xin, the commander of the Qin and Han Dynasty and the chief general of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, was in high spirits, and under the escort of a group of generals and colonels, he stood at the highest point of the pass, inspecting one army after another from all over the Qin State.

Han Xin's situation in these years is also the same as the weather in Hanzhong, from the cold winter to the warm spring, from the young man who was forced to endure the humiliation of his crotch in Huaiyin County, to the penniless halberd Langzhong under Xiang Yu, and then to the general who commanded tens of thousands of horses and led a county in Qin, Han Xin went from the lowest point of his life to the most dazzling stage of this era in just seven years.

Glory and glory are in front of you.

In the eyes of these veterans, Nanyang County and Nanjun in the east of Wuguan were like servants who took off their pants and wanted to welcome and refuse, and the 200,000 Han troops that were hastily formed were like a group of local chickens and dogs, vulnerable to attack.

Outside the West Gate.

Under the mobilization order of the Han Dynasty, the banner appeared, and another Qin army arrived, and there were many Qin troops who responded to the order and went to Wuguan to conclude the agreement, but this one was very special.

The soldiers were blue-eyed, yellow-haired, and tall, and in each soldier's hand, in addition to a hard bow made of poplar wood, there were several spears inlaid with bronze tufted heads.

This kind of giant spear is as thick as a child's arm, hard as iron, and it is not small in close combat, but it is even more terrifying, look at the posture of these soldiers one by one, if hundreds or thousands of people throw giant spears together, the result can be imagined.

"Where did this Hu Bing come from, why are you so fat?" At the gate of the city, a young Qin soldier whispered to the old pawn beside him.

"Shhh, you didn't look at the banner, one-eyed Cao, I don't understand yet, this is the Hu soldiers of Longxi, the team of the fierce general Cao Xin." The old pawn spat angrily and the new pawn with a wooden expression.

"Cao, Cao Xin—." The new pawn muttered to himself, and it took a long time before he covered his mouth in surprise.

Among the generals of the Qin army, when it comes to bravery, Cao Xin does not say first, and no one says second. And after he lost a glance, the ferocity that continued to fight made the soldiers of the Qin army who admired bravery proud.

Cao Xin was in high spirits.

After leading the newly formed 1,500 warriors of the Yue clan to Wuguan, after a long journey of thousands of miles from Di Dao all the way to the east, these strong men of the Yue clan looked tired one by one, but when they looked up and saw the black daze on the Wuguan City Pass, these soldiers immediately became active again.

"The whole army, lined up, read." Cao Xin shouted, squinting at Han Xin and other generals under the big sword.

Under Cao Xin's order, the Yueshi people began to show their strength in front of many Qin armies, whether it was bows and arrows or throwing, or the control of heavy weapons crashing, the Yueshi people showed strong combat effectiveness, and I have to admit that Cao Xin has transformed the Yueshi people quite well in just two months.

"General Han, how about it, these soldiers like Cao should be the first." Cao Xin's confident hahadaxiao. didn't care about the extremely ugly faces of the Qin generals beside Han Xin.

"General, how can Xiandeng be handed over to these Hu people, the last general was appointed by General Wang, but three thousand Ba warriors were recruited, and my Ba warriors are familiar with fighting, how can they be compared to those Hu people in the border area." Hearing that Cao Xin wanted to grab the credit, Feng Xuan, who had been obeying Han Xin's orders early in the morning, stood up.

Compared with the young and handsome junior lieutenant before the expedition to Ba County, Feng Xuan is now a little more wild and a little less childish, and in the blend with the Ba people, Feng Xuan gradually began to learn the habits of the Ba people, just like now, in addition to the black armor of the Qin army general, he also has a colorful brocade chicken battle feather on his head.

"The two generals don't need to argue, from Wuguan downstream, there are two cities garrisoned by the Han army, Dengcheng and Fancheng, one in the south and one in the north, according to the news obtained by the scouts, the Han army is stationed here with 3,000 soldiers, you two are not as good as each leading the headquarters to attack the city, who can take it first, Han will be the vanguard general." Han Xin smiled and preached at Cao Xin and Feng.

"The last general's order, within three days, should take the head of the Fancheng Han general, and present it to the general." Feng Xuan replied loudly, throwing a provocative look towards Cao Xin.

"The kid is rampant, Cao doesn't need three days, only two days to capture Deng Cheng, and let Xiao'er see, what is a fierce general?" Cao Xin shouted, and Lang responded in response.

"In this way, there will be two generals Lao, and after the two cities are recovered, Han will report his exploits to Wuhou." Han Xin said with a smile.

The Ba and Hu people were a few fierce soldiers in the Qin army, and before the battle, with Han Xin's qualifications, favoring either side could cause the dissatisfaction of the other side.

In the era of cold weapons, this kind of competition between generals is the norm, Cao and Feng are also invited to fight in order to maintain the high morale of the team, Han Xin, as the chief general of an army, can not favor one over the other, and now, he proposed a more fair way to attack a city, and immediately made Cao Xin and Feng Xuan immediately high-spirited. (To be continued......)
