The Qin army attacked the Han army in Wancheng with one south and one north.

Han Xin's turn made the Qin army, which was originally inferior in terms of troops, unexpectedly gain a considerable advantage on the local battlefield in Nanyang County.

On the Han side, 6,000 soldiers in Fancheng and Deng counties were surrounded and annihilated, and the scattered troops guarding the counties were defeated, plus the losses in the battle against Li Yuan's Qin army on the northern front, the 70,000 troops in Zhou Bo's hands were reduced to 50,000 at once.

Sixty thousand against fifty thousand.

The Qin army used deception and tactical rationality to successfully make Liu Bang mistakenly believe that the main force of the Qin army was killing Yingdu, so that he misjudged again and again, and by the time he came to his senses, the Han army in Wancheng had fallen into the encirclement of the Qin army.

We were surrounded by the Qin army.

We have lost many cities.

Under such an unfavorable war situation, the generals of the Han army stationed in the county town of Nanyang County on the bank of Yushui changed their colors, and the only 50,000 people left in the Han army in Wancheng, how many of them were new pawns who were forcibly recruited to join the new army, every Han general would beat the drum in his heart, compared with the Han army pulled up by the grass platform, the 60,000 people of the Qin army were completely real elite soldiers.

Wancheng.

Zhou Bo urgently convened all Han generals to discuss the military situation, trying to save the passive situation, but at this military meeting, a dispute broke out among the Han generals.

The Han generals of Wancheng, with Taiwei Zhou Bo as the main general, Liu Bang's eldest son Liu Fei as the supervising army, Han Xin, the king of Han, the generals Liu Jia, Cheng Zong, Cheng Chu, Wang Wu, Chen Feng and others constituted the superstructure of this Han army.

In the face of crisis.

It is the most test of patience, perseverance, courage and loyalty.

Whether to continue to resist in Wancheng with the existing forces and wait for the reinforcements sent by Liu Bang from Yingdu, or choose to abandon Wancheng and save Liliang.

"Taiwei, we can't stick to the dead place of Wancheng, we should kill it and find the weak point of the Qin army. Then turn defeat into victory. The person who made this suggestion was Han Wangxin, a descendant of the Korean royal family, who was not interested in holding on to the land of Nanyang.

"The weak road of the Qin army, which way is weak, is it the 50,000 Qin army in the south, or the 15,000 people in the north, is it Han Xin or Li Yuan?" Zhou Bo asked with a calm face.

After losing Cao Shen, the pillar of the army, Zhou Bo relied more on strong suppression to control the generals as a last resort. Rather than relying on personal prestige.

Han Wangxin in front of him was Zhou Bo's potential opponent.

"Naturally, there are few people all the way, no, we should quickly go south, take the initiative to capture the fighters, and strive to counter-encircle the Qin army Han Xin with the main force of the King of Han." Han Wangxin hesitated and hesitated.

Although the Qin army in the north only had more than 10,000 people, but when he thought that the leader was led by Li Yuan, who was known as the undefeated general of the Qin State, Han Wangxin immediately felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath.

In the past, all the generals who opposed Li Yuan. It's all turned into piles of bones.

Han Wangxin didn't want to die yet.

He also had to take his team to the east back to Yingchuan, back to Xiping, back to the place of his hometown, and back to the mausoleum of his ancestors. This is what Han Wangxin hopes to do the most.

In addition, the leading general of the Qin army's eastern crusade was also named Han Xin, which made Han Wangxin very unhappy. What he is most angry about is that some people have repeatedly compared Huaiyin, a guy who is willing to suffer the humiliation of his crotch, with a noble-born royal child like himself. to judge.

"Abandoning the fortified city and going to a field battle with the Qin army, which has cavalry, Ba people, and Hu people, does General Han think it is possible to win?" Zhou Bo said angrily.

"Captain, don't be angry, General Han Xin just wants to find a way for everyone to live, if we keep defending like this, we are not hopeless." During the military discussion, Liu Fei, the prison guard, who had not spoken, suddenly stood up and said.

Liu Fei is Liu Bang's eldest son, but his mother Cao is only one of the best advocates in Peixian Winehouse, not only low status, but also died early, Liu Fei's personal ability can not be compared with his father, so he has no idea about the throne of the King of Han, this time Liu Bang sent Liu Fei to Wancheng to supervise the army, and he is still grateful.

Yingdu.

It has become a place where Lu Pheasant and Qi Ji are two women fighting, and any son of Liu Bang will be involved if he is not careful, Liu Fei wants to live, wants to live well, and enjoys his comfortable and comfortable life.

Liu Fei's statement turned Zhou Bo's suppression into a joke, while Han Wangxin laughed out loud from his depression, and behind him, Liu Jia, Cheng Zong, Wang Wu and other Han generals stood firmly behind him. On Zhou Bo's side, there was only one person left, Chen Xuan, a native of Wancheng.

"Since there are different opinions, then let's wait for the Han King to decide. Before the arrival of the order of the king of Han, if there is any disobedience to the military order, it is not to blame Bo for the ruthlessness of military law. Zhou Bo snorted coldly, glared at Liu Fei, Liu Jia and the others fiercely, and then left the table in great strides.

"Hmph, what's the spirit, this will be outside, the military order will not be granted, and when the order of the King of Han arrives, we are only afraid that we will be surrounded by the Qin army in the city early." Han Wangxin glared back at Zhou Bo's back with disdain, and then pulled Liu Fei and Liu Jia to the side to discuss privately.

Predictions of the future situation are mixed.

As the commander of Nanyang County and the chief general of the 50,000 Han army recommended by Liu Bang, Zhou Bo has always advocated local defense, resisting the attack of the Qin army, and advocating to try his best to fight for control of each city to gradually weaken the vitality of the Qin army.

As Liu Bangpei's old brother in the county, Zhou Bo's loyalty to Liu Bang is not questioned, for Liu Bang's great cause, he can die and sacrifice everything.

However, Zhou Bo has such determination.

Others may not be the same as him, even Liu Bang's son Liu Fei is not willing to live and die with Wancheng.

April 23.

Early morning.

The gates of Wancheng quietly opened in a creaking sound.

A Han army quickly escaped from the city, then joined up with Liu Jia and Han Wangxin's troops stationed in the southeast corner of Wancheng, and marched east along Yushui.

Liu Fei ran away.

After continuing to persuade Zhou Bo several times and refusing to listen, Liu Fei united with Liu Jia, Han Wangxin and other Han generals, and led more than 10,000 people towards Yingchuan County in the east.

From Nanyang County to Yingchuan County, this road needs to cross thousands of miles of Funiu Mountains, although the march is difficult and dangerous, but it is better than the result of being annihilated by the Qin army.

10,000 Han troops fled. This Han army in Wancheng was originally a unit reserved by Zhou Bo, ready to reinforce friendly forces in danger when the battle line was unstable, but now, he suddenly had nothing in his hands.

"It's so shameless." This news made Zhou Bo furious. As a supervising army, Liu Fei was originally responsible for governing the army and rectifying discipline, but he took the lead in disobeying the general's order and instigating Liu Jia and Han Wangxin to leave the battlefield without authorization.

"Captain, let's quickly order to shrink our forces and stick to Wancheng, if it's too late, I'm afraid that all the people in front of us won't be able to withdraw back." In front of Zhou Bo, the only member of the Han general, Chen Xuan, persuaded him.

Others can escape.

Chen Feng can't do it anyway.

Unlike other Han generals, Chen Xuan is a native of Wancheng, and in this city, there are his family, his clansmen, and many of his unknown neighbors.

"General Chen, you quickly pass on my general's order, ordering all the departments of the southern and northern lines to abandon the county towns along the way and quickly move closer to Wancheng, and within three days, those who are slow to arrive will be severely punished according to military discipline." Zhou Bo commanded helplessly.

In the absence of reserves, resistance has become an empty phrase. Zhou Bo decided to put Zuihou's hopes on guarding the fortified city of Wancheng.

——。

Upper Luoshui.

The Qin army on the northern front was advancing southward.

When the Qin army lurking in Wancheng secretly and eagerly reported the abnormal situation of the Han army in Wancheng, Li Yuan's division was sweeping all counties of the Han State along the way, occupying one place and consolidating one place, constantly encroaching on the land of the Han State, as a model for follow-up governance in the process of Qin's territory expansion.

After the Qin army occupied the city, groups of civil officials from Guanzhong took their own teams to occupy the county government, confiscated the assets of the county treasury, sealed the books, and were very busy.

The military situation has changed.

Li Yuan immediately summoned Su Jiao, Meng Hu, and Zhang Ping to discuss the matter, and the three generals in the old Qin army now threw themselves on the five bodies that Li Yuan had already admired.

With 15,000 people, he pinned down as many as 70,000 Han troops, thus winning the initiative on the battlefield for Han Xin's army on the southern front.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the intermittent work came to report, the Han army in Wancheng was split, Liu Fei, Liu Jia, Han Wangxin and others fled towards the Yingchuan area, and the Han general Zhou Bo had no hole cards in his hands, and what he could do next was only to defend the way. Therefore, we must change our strategy and quickly march to Wancheng, and strive to join forces with friendly forces on the southern front under Wancheng as soon as possible. Li Yuan took the secret letter from Jian Zuo and instructed Su Jiao and other generals.

"Marquis Wu, the last general is willing to lead the cavalry of his headquarters to attack the Han soldiers, and he must intercept those fleeing enemies before the Han army returns." Meng Hu shouted for orders.

"Marquis Wu, the last general asks for an order to ascend Wancheng first, not to break the city walls, and to swear not to collect troops." Not to be outdone, Zhang Ping also stood up and asked for orders.

"The two generals are willing to be the vanguard of the same and make this great contribution to breaking Wancheng for my Great Qin." Li Yuan Haha smiled and said with words.

Zhang Ping and Meng Hu.

They represent two different groups in the Qin army.

One side is the main force of the Qin army in the pass, and the other side is the field elite troops of the border county, in the past, between Zhang Han and Wang Li, it was because of the contradictions at this level that the Qin army, which was strong to 400,000, was broken by Xiang Yu. Now, Li Yuan hopes to make up for the rift through mutual cooperation. (To be continued......)
