The swallow land is in turmoil.

Outside Jixian County.

In the Xiongnu Dome King tent, Da Shan Yu Mao Dun leaned on the tiger skin, but the body was covered with a thick blanket on a hot day, and the water and soil discomfort plague that spread to the entire army made the entire Xiongnu coalition army fall into panic, and the tension brought by this disease was terrifying to the ignorant Huns.

"Da Dan Yu, the scouts are coming, the Qin people in the south are already forming troops, maybe when they will go north, if the Qin people kill, my Great Huns are now only half of the combat strength, what should I do?" On Mao Dun's side, the temporary role of military advisor was Zang Yan, the son of Zang Di, the king of Yan.

These days, Mao Dun has treated Zang Yan with special courtesy, and even let him participate in the decision-making body of the Xiongnu tribe, which has also made this traitor in the Central Plains even more desperate.

With his familiarity with the situation in Yandi, Zang Yan and his group of traitors made the Huns feel like fish in water in the Yandi area, which was also one of the reasons for the successive defeats of the Chu army.

"The Qin people are going north, which general is leading the troops, and Li Yuan is not coming?" There was a strange look on Mao Dun's yellow face, but it soon dimmed again.

"Yu Da Danyu, Li Thief has arrived five days ago, according to the scouts, Li Thief is very likely to personally lead people to Yandi, this is a fierce tiger." Zang Yan suddenly changed color, not knowing that he said this to increase the prestige of others and extinguish his own spirit.

The military movement of the Qin army on the south bank of Yishui, especially the personal arrival of Shenwu Marquis Li Yuan in Gucheng, made Zang Yan feel nervous.

Unlike the Huns, who were not very familiar with Li Yuan, Zang Yan knew a lot about Li Yuan's brilliant achievements in the Kwantung region, and in this regard, Zang Yan was even more careful than his Lao Tzu, who was so happy with his achievements.

"Li Yuan, what kind of tiger is it, at most it is just a young tiger, and some of my big Huns are heroes who hunt tigers." Mao Dun sneered, and only replied with these few words. It had made a cold sweat break out on his forehead.

Fever and cold.

Malaria, commonly known as malaria, is mainly spread by mosquito bites in summer, and this disease is nothing to the Qin and Chu people who have adapted to the hot weather in the south, but it is a deadly threat to the Huns who are used to grazing in the grasslands, especially in the cool Beihai area.

If it weren't for the strength of his body and the fact that he was in the prime of life, this disease alone might have killed him, of course, if he could survive this hurdle, his body would have adapted a lot. At least the heat and cold disease could not have attacked him again.

"Da Danyu, you must not underestimate the enemy, the Qin people are in the Kanto area, but they have won a hundred battles and have not met an opponent?" Zang Yan cautiously admonished.

"Li Yuan, a hundred battles are won, that is when he has not met a real opponent, I let him go before I take the spot, just to wait for the Qin people to have the strength to fight a decisive battle with my Great Huns. It's time for Haode to beat him again. Mao Dun closed his eyes tightly, let out a long breath, and said.

"Big Order. Your body--! Zang Yan said worriedly.

"It's okay, you can't ride a horse, you can still ride in a car. Swiftly send orders for me, and the tribes will be on guard. Carefully search for the movements of the Qin people, and report back as soon as they find something. This time, I want to let the Qin people come and go. Mao Dun clenched his steel teeth and ordered word by word.

There is Zang Yan, the head snake, the Huns have ears and eyes in Yandi, plus the Huns and Yandi are connected, the two sides have close contacts, as far as the situation of Yandi is concerned, the Huns know a lot, and on the contrary, the Qin people in Yandi and the Chu people are also unfamiliar with the place, plus the Yan people have always had a natural hatred for the Qin State, this time, the Qin army went north to rescue the Chu army is actually fighting in a foreign land, and there is no geographical advantage when fighting in Longxi.

――。

Easy waterfront.

The vanguard of a Qin army is quietly crossing the river at night, and the general who led this Qin army is Gan Yong, a young partial general of Qin, who served as a personal general by Li Yuan's side for half a year, Gan Yong got the opportunity to be released, and officially became one of the generals who led the army alone, like Wang Shang and Cao Xin.

This time, Gan Yong was ordered to lead a mixed force of crossbowmen and infantry to the north, and the task given to him by Li Yuan was to become a bait, so that the Huns would be like a stalk in the throat, not to swallow unpleasantly, and if you want to swallow it in one bite, you must have a pair of haode teeth.

The crossbow troops of the Qin army.

In this day and age, it's a completely terrifying and almost inexplicable class, especially if you have enough arrows and spare crossbows.

You know, in the Han Dynasty, the Han general Li Ling, that is, Li Zhongxiang's great-grandson, led a Han army division deep into Mobei, and the result was an encounter with the Huns' cavalry several times their own.

Now, more than 100 years later, Li Yuan and Han Xin agreed on a countermeasure, which is to use a Qin army as a bait to attract the attention of the Huns, and when the Huns swarm like wolves, trying to eat this attacking enemy, the surrounding Qin troops will rush to the battlefield at a rapid marching speed, so as to encircle and annihilate the Huns on the Youyan Plain in one fell swoop.

The key to this tactic.

is the candidate for luring soldiers, and after comprehensively considering a number of generals, Li Yuan Zuihou decided to hand over this important task to Gan Yong's hands.

For this young pro-soldier general, Li Yuan has incomparable kindness and care from the bottom of his heart, not only because of Gan Yong's own outstanding talent, but also because his father Gan Houbo was his old subordinate.

Lao Tzu is a hero.

Li Yuan believes that if Gan Yong leads his troops into battle, even if he fights to Zuihou, he will not give up completing the task, and this is what Li Yuan values most.

The north shore of the easy water.

Ma Jin, who served as the commander of the scout army of Gan Yong's former army, was directing his subordinates to quickly pass through the open area of the river beach, just as Li Yuan trusted Gan Yong, Ma Jin also relied on his unremitting efforts to let Gan Yong see the shining points in him, and as a battle-hardened veteran, Ma Jin's experience can make this young team more calm.

"Tell the general that everything is normal, my vanguard has successfully crossed the river and is advancing in depth, and it is expected to reach the Xiangcheng area of Youbeiping at dark tomorrow." Ma Jin commanded in a low voice.

The Qin army went out by day and night.

Relying on the scouts' prior inquiry of the road, Ma Jin zigzagged all the way north, avoided several Hun rangers, and finally arrived at his destination Xiangcheng on August 5.

Xiangcheng is only fifty miles away from Jixian County.

As long as the Qin army arrived there, it would be able to follow the Luan River flowing from the bottom of Yanshan Mountain, and kill it from the waterway to the city of Jixian County, which was also the weakest place for the Huns.

The northerners are good at horses, but afraid of water.

Gan Yong's blow was extremely sharp, and it can be said that it hit the few flaws of the Huns.

――。

The military movements of the Qin army were not known to the Chu army trapped in Jixian County.

These days, the Chu army guarding the lonely city is like a ship struggling in the wind and waves to dock, failing to break through again and again, persisting again and again, only hoping that unknown reinforcements can arrive.

July.

Xiang Yu organized a total of six breakouts, and the results were unsatisfactory.

The sharp energy of the Chu army was exhausted in the previous battle of troubled waters, coupled with Zhou Lan's unauthorized escape and annihilation, which made the Chu army confused with an atmosphere of disappointment and decadence.

In this disappointment, Xiang Yu's personal courage influence is getting smaller and smaller, to a breakthrough in Zuihou, Xiang Yu single-handedly killed the Huns layer after layer, but the follow-up breakthrough troops have not been able to get rid of the pursuit of the Huns, in desperation, Xiang Yu can only choose to return to the city again to defend it.

Hero, empty and lonely.

Xiang Yu, who had nothing to do, Zuihou had to drink to dispel his sorrows, and he was drunk every day, and he no longer thought about breaking through the siege or not, and the reinforcements were not reinforced.

Under the domination of desperation day by day, the accumulated grain in Jixian County has been exhausted, and in desperation, Xiang Yu had to order to cook soup with wild vegetables accompanied by captured rats and other animals to satisfy hunger, such a method was maintained for five or six days, and finally could no longer support it, because the rats in the city were also captured and waited to be exhausted.

Trapped until August.

The people in the city began to cannibalize each other, and some Chu soldiers began to secretly trap and kill the women, children, old and weak in the city, and the most terrible scene of war in the cold weapon era appeared. (To be continued......)
