Chapter 128: A Counterattack
At the end of the cold year of December, Guanzhong is like a pot of boiling soup, which makes people can't help but want to taste it, but also afraid of being burned on their tongues.
After Zhang Han received the dragon and told him that he was in a hurry, he quickly retreated from the front line of Chencang, but his marching route was not directed to Fufeng, but the old capital of Qin - Xianyang, which was located in the rear.
Either Caesar or nothing.
Zhang Han decided to give it a go.
This year, he was fed up with the white eyes of the Chu people and the contemptuous gaze of the Qin people, which was an unbearable year for a general who once made thousands of Qin soldiers look up to him.
December 23rd.
A large-scale rapid cooling accompanied by a severe cold raid, in bad weather, Luo Jia's cavalry encountered Zhang Han's army in Xiaohua Mountain, Wugong County, Zhang Han led a soldier to flank the cavalry, the main force went down along the Weishui, and finally broke through Li Yuan's encirclement and interception, jumped out of the encirclement of the Qin army, so far, in Fufeng was surrounded by the dragon and completely fell into the Qin army's encirclement.
The general attack on Fufeng was affected by the weather and the start of the battle was delayed for two days.
Inspired by the great victory, 10,000 Qin soldiers under the personal command of Li Yuan began the battle of climbing the city with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas, carrying rushing carts, giant trees and simple ladders.
The Qin army went to battle, and the main general Li Yuan stopped on horseback.
The forward of the Qin army, which was attacking like a tide crashing on the shore, could be seen from a distance that the Qin army of the brigade had crossed the distance of the archers' long-range shooting and advanced towards the foot of the city wall.
A group of Qin soldiers pushed the chariot with wooden wheels, pointed the giant wood on the chariot at the city gate, and then slammed into the closed city gate again and again.
This is a standard ancient city siege.
There are no tricks, no tricks, and there are no commenting stories such as confrontation between the two armies and heads-up of generals. Or maybe Long Ji deliberately singled it out, but he couldn't even open the city gate now.
"Order: The west gate, the south gate, and the north gate will be besieged on three sides, and the area around the east gate will be handed over to Captain Luo's cavalry troops?" Li Yuan ordered lightly.
"Obey the general's orders!" Luo Jia ordered him to mount his horse, and led his cavalry to raise a cloud of dust and disappear into the wilderness.
"Next, the task of Ximen's frontal attack will be handed over to Captain Han?" Li Yuan took a tiger talisman and said to Han Xin, who was the first lieutenant of the Qin Military Academy.
"No!" Han Xin replied loudly. His expression was both excited and a little uneasy, this opportunity came so quickly, and so suddenly, that he had the feeling of being in a dream.
Siege the teacher must be que.
Leaving the east gate to give the Chu army in the city an illusion that they could flee for their lives, thereby weakening the will of the guards, which is clearly recorded in Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Sun Wu's era, not far from the end of the Qin Dynasty, in this paper has not yet been invented, only relying on bamboo slips, silk brocade to write the obscurantist era, a military book often needs several large baskets of bamboo slips to complete the record, this bamboo slips of war book is so troublesome and troublesome, on the occasion of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Rebellion, can be handed down and well-known, the difficulty can be imagined.
Those who can read the book of war are already lucky people, and being able to apply the strategies in the book of war to practice is even more fortunate among the lucky.
Han Shin is now fortunate enough to be that lucky man.
His future is limitless.
――。
Inside Fufeng Castle.
After killing several guards in despair, Long Ji, the general of the Chu army, stared at a pair of red giant eyes and carried a big sword, and personally guarded the front line of the city wall.
Looking out of the city, like a black tide of anger in the ranks of the Qin army, Long Ji was angry at Zhang Han's betrayal, but also felt a kind of helplessness of fate playing tricks on people.
Two years ago, in the small city of Yongqiu in the eastern part of the Kanto, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's Chu army besieged Li You's Qin army.
Offensive and defensive changes.
A kind of pathos of the prince of the end of the road surged up on the dragon and the heart of this rough man, so that he regretted accepting the order to garrison Guanzhong, it turned out that Huang Bu's choice was right, on the powder keg of Guanzhong, it was too difficult to retreat with his whole body.
"Yang Wu, drum for General Ben!" The dragon shouted.
"Da Chu, Da Chu, kill invincible!" Urged by a rapid drumbeat, the dragon ran through the walls of the West Gate, his broad body attracting the attention of several Qin archers.
"Poof!"
An arrow fell diagonally from mid-air, piercing the dragon's armor and bringing up a bloody flower.
"Qin Gou, come on, come again, your Grandpa Long is not afraid-!" The dragon shouted, and with his right hand he grasped the shaft of the arrow, and pulled it out with all his might, pulling out the arrow of the triangular spur.
"Da Chu, Da Chu!" Long Ji's bravery, finally aroused the courage of the Chu army soldiers to fight desperately, in the face of the tragic ending of fighting is death, not fighting is death, these former anti-Qin warriors, the long-lost spirit has returned, the only pity is that this momentum came too late.
Han Xin frowned, the first battle after taking over the infantry army was to face his old club, his former boss, which gave him a sense of trance with intertwined identities.
At this moment on the battlefield, it was as if he was still in the red military formation of the Chu army, facing the darkness of the Qin army; And now, what he has to face is the red that once made him proud.
"Everything has passed, and the Chu army in front of him is no longer the righteous army that resists tyranny in his memory." Han Xin's head swelled with sadness.
Anyway, he was once a member of the Chu Army.
"Order the front army to attack at the same time by setting up ladders in three ways; Crossbowmen and archers fired ten times in rapid succession to suppress them, and the heavily armored infantry continued to bang on the door with huge logs, without breaking. Han Xin's voice was loud and clear, and there was an unquestionable shock in the ears of the captains and marquis of all the armies.
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
All branches of the Qin army led the captains and military marquis to follow the order, and the obedience of Liang Haode allowed Han Xin's orders to be carried out as soon as possible, which made Han Xin feel sincerely happy.
In this case, if it is changed to the Chu army, Han Xin's words will not be said only once, even if he says it four or five times, it is impossible to make the Chu soldiers submit, this is the essential difference between the Qin army under strict military discipline and the Chu army who were born recklessly and believed in personal bravery.
In a deeper sense, this represents two kinds of thinking about army building, the former can train a well-disciplined and well-trained iron-blooded army, and can have a large number of middle and low-level officers who are loyal to the general's orders, but it is difficult to emerge a talented general, while the latter is the opposite.
