Han reinforcements were slow.

In such an unfavorable situation, Xiahou Ying, as a pioneer, will inevitably be under considerable pressure, and in this case, Xiahou Ying is very likely to take drastic actions.

Now, for the generals of the Qin army, judging when and how the Han army will exert its strength, is the most critical, Li Yuan will keep an eye on the Han army and hand over the heavy responsibility of irrigating babies to Menghu, which is undoubtedly a heavy trust.

Encirclement and reinforcements.

This classic tactic was adopted by Li Yuan in the battle of Wancheng this time, and the slight change was that in the direction of Wancheng, the Qin army did not adopt the strategy of besieging the city on all sides, but only arranged men and horses on the west gate and the north gate, in other words, if Zhou Bo wanted to run, it was completely possible.

It's just that if Zhou Bo really abandoned the city and fled, it would be in Li Yuan's arms, for the Han army, which was mainly infantry and demoralized, it would be more dangerous to abandon the high city and run into the wilderness, and the Qin army with mobile liliang might catch up with the fleeing Han army within a hundred miles, and then annihilate them all.

Therefore, the Qin army did not have to worry about the enemy in Wancheng being fled, except for one possibility, that is, a large number of reinforcements from the Han army arrived.

In the face of absolute numerical superiority, the Qin army's class advantage will be neutralized, so it is the task of the Qin army's blocking troops to delay the reinforcement speed of the main Han army and find favorable terrain to block it.

This time, the blocking force of the Qin army was unified under the personal command of Li Yuan, which was composed of three parts, one is the sharp cavalry of the border army that Xiahou Ying and Guan Ying can see, and these more than 4,000 cavalry are mainly responsible for the task of harassing and chasing down the lone Han soldiers along the way.

The second part of the blocking force is not remarkable, Zhang Ping's Sanchuan County Qin army is about 6,000 people, many of the soldiers in this Qin army have fought against the most powerful Chu army in the Kwantung at the Tiger Prison Pass, they are no strangers to the task of blocking.

And the third part is also the most important part. It is the Ba army from Feng Xuan's department, the Ba people are good at mountain and forest warfare, and they play a little role in the siege war.

Feng Xuan was very excited to be able to return to Li Yuan's account, and even before leaving, he went to Cao Xin, who was in charge of the Yue clan, to take a turn around as if he was in charge of the Yue clan, and trained Cao Xin's ruthlessness to the Yue clan.

Water nourishment.

This stream, which originated in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, gradually lost its original power after reaching Nanyang County. The river flows slowly across the plains, and Zuihou disappears into the vast swamps of wetlands.

After seven days of trekking, Xiahou Ying's troops finally arrived at this place in the southwest of Wancheng, known as Wollongong, where the terrain is low-lying and densely wooded, which is very suitable for hiding and ambushing, and it is also a dangerous place leading to Wancheng.

As soon as Xiahou Ying saw the topography here, she chuckled in her heart, is the moment to decide life and death coming? I didn't expect it to be so fast.

"Hurry up and inform General Irrigation. Get ready for battle. Xiahou Ying's gloomy expression shook up, and he waved the halberd in his hand vigorously, and the war horse under his crotch was tightened by him, and he kept neighing.

Wollongong.

This place. More than 400 years later, it will be famous because of one person.

But now, it's just a swamp that is said to be entrenched by an evil dragon, for tens of thousands of Han soldiers. A vicious dragon is certainly not a threat.

On both sides of the gallop road, there are swampy quagmires, which are very unsuitable for the cavalry of the Qin army. The Han army was able to effectively avoid the attacks of the Qin cavalry. As for the possible ambush in the jungle swamp, Xiahou Ying didn't care too much, with infantry against infantry, without the restraint advantage in arms, Xiahou Ying was not afraid of a face-to-face hand-to-hand battle with the Qin army.

――。

Zhang Ping gently pressed the branches that were covering in front of him, and through the mottled shadows of the trees, he could clearly see every move of the Han army in front of him.

"It's finally here." Zhang Ping took a sip and rubbed his somewhat sore knees vigorously with both hands. More than ten years of military career has allowed Zhang Ping to develop a silent and wordless personality, just like this expedition, if it weren't for General Li Yuan, he would not have stepped forward.

Unlike Su Jiao and Menghu, Zhang Ping's seniority in the army is old, but he has always lacked his own hardcore troops, and the eldest brother Zhang Han once brought out an elite army composed of prisoners, but unfortunately, this army was defeated by Xiang Yu in the subsequent Battle of Thorn Plain, and the soldiers were either buried alive or taken to Pengcheng as coolies.

Subsequently, the Zhang brothers recruited troops in their hometown of Guanzhong in an attempt to make a comeback, but after losing the trust of the people in Guanzhong, Zhang Han no longer had the domineering spirit of turning the tide in the past.

It was not until Zhang Han returned to Qin in Shaohua Mountain that Zhang Ping had the opportunity to lead the army again, and his ability was vividly exerted in the battle of reinforcing Sujiao, so that Sima Mao, the king of Yin, had no way to escape and had to drown in the water of the Fen River.

The reward of that battle allowed Zhang Ping to be directly promoted from an ordinary infantry captain to a partial general, and his main responsibility was to assist Jiang Yu in maintaining the stability of Sanchuan County.

After tasting the sweetness of the exploits, Zhang Ping was even more eager to try, this time in the south, he carefully followed Li Yuan's every command, for fear of losing the opportunity because of a careless word, and now, it was this caution that allowed him to win the opportunity to become famous in a war.

With 6,000 generals to block the attack of more than 20,000 Han troops, Zhang Ping was still confident. The gap between the Qin army and the Han army in morale and training is enough to make up for the gap in the personal ability of the generals.

Zhang Ping was eager to try.

And Feng Xuan, who was dormant in the swamp, was sitting on pins and needles at this time, only looking forward to the Han army to launch an attack quickly.

"Hey, for the sake of this iron knife, even if the snake drilled the crotch of his pants, he has to hold it." Feng Xuan glared at the vicious pair of big eyes, and gritted his teeth at the Han army team faintly in the distance.

Surprise is the only way to defeat the enemy.

Feng Xuan's Pakistani army is good at this kind of jungle and mountain warfare, it is unwise to ask them to set up a formation and fight the enemy head-on, Li Yuan assigned all the 500 iron knives transported from the Jinyang army to Feng Xuan, the purpose is to make the sharp knives of this Qin army more sharp.

――。

The decisive battle is coming.

Xiahou Ying took a long breath, trying to calm down her excitement, and now it was finally time to vent the grievances along the way.

"Gale, gale!" Xiahou Ying hoarsely voiced, trying his best to boost the morale of the Han army generals.

This gale song, composed by Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, has only two main lyrics: The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet.

The former sentence is majestic and powerful, and the latter sentence is tragic and desolate.

When the Han army launched a charge, the first two words in the lyrics of the first line of the soldiers' favorite shouts were also named.

Face.

The Qin army's layout was neat and rigorous, so that Xiahou Ying couldn't find a flaw, and in the rear of the infantry array, there were also Qin crossbow cavalry who were tasked with cleaning the battlefield.

What to do?

If they retreated, the more than 30,000 Han troops in Wancheng would have given up? Zhou Bo is basically out of life?

Can King Han withstand such a result?

Whether Liu Bang can bear it, Xiahou Ying didn't have time to think about it, at least he could be sure that if he didn't make an effort to watch Zhou Bo being trapped and dying, he wouldn't be able to do it in the first place.

Red as fire.

Black as the River Styx.

Swept by the heat wave, with the shouts of the Han generals, crashing into the Qin army's formation, which symbolized silence and tenacity, the Han soldiers who were fighting almost with only blood and impulse ran and fell, and got up again. At this moment, they were fearless of life and death, they were not afraid of the cold war shields of the Qin army, and they were not afraid of the war spears that poked out of the shield wall.

Field.

It is the tearing that tests the will of the generals the most.

Xiahou Ying's eyes were red, and he asked his own soldiers to carry his Daxu to the front of the battlefield again and again, he wanted to use this way to inspire his generals, as long as Daxu did not fall, the offensive of the Han army would not stop.

――。

"It's crazy!" Zhang Ping was out of breath, and the non-stop battle for a whole hour soaked all his armor, and the Han army attacked as if it had gone crazy, which made him, who had always despised Liu Bang's troops, suddenly change his opinion.

Non-stop attacking, non-stop killing, the corpses at the front of the battlefield have become a pile of corpse walls, but the Han army still does not retreat, the six thousand soldiers in Zhang Ping's hands, and now the reserves that are still in his hands are less than a thousand, and look at the current hour, it is just past noon, and there is still an afternoon of time, Zhang Ping suddenly wavered about whether he can hold the pass?

Why don't you explain the battle situation to Wuhou and ask for reinforcements?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Ping shook his head again and denied his thoughts. If that was the case, without Li Yuan's order, Zhang Ping himself would no longer be able to raise his head among his colleagues in the Qin army, so even if he was a soldier who fought to Zuihou, he would never let the Han army pass.

This is the honor of the military.

There is no questioning and no trampling.

With such a tragic and resolute attitude, Zhang Ping showed more rationality and tenacity in the afternoon battle, Xiahou Ying repeatedly lured each other, trying to use his flamboyant actions to attract the generals of the Qin army to come and fight alone, however, this time, the opponent he met was not the equally brave Cao Xin, but Zhang Ping, who was known for his rigor and seriousness.

Zhang Ping may not be the most powerful one in the Qin army.

However, in the specific battle situation at this time, Zhang Ping's tenacity and rigor just restrained the violent and impulsive Xiahou Ying, and when the stalemate between the two armies slowly ended in the twilight, the morale of the Han army also fell. (To be continued......)
