After hearing Liu Bang's speculation, Han Xin shook his head with a smile and said, "No! Pei Gong, you guessed wrong, the enemy's pikemen seem to have a weak front, but their defense is really not weak, and it is difficult for our army to break through the opponent's defense in a hurry. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the weakness of the enemy army I am talking about is the Qin army over there! ”

"That Qin army!" When Liu Bang heard this, his face couldn't help showing a hint of surprise, and he opened his mouth to tell the other party something, but after hesitating for a while, he didn't open his mouth in the end.

Because Liu Bang did not open his mouth to stop it, Han Xin quickly sent a force of more than 50,000 people to attack Zhang Han's 5,000 Qin army.

Zhang Han had always had the attitude of watching a good show, and when the rebel army came over, he thought that the other party wanted to go around the flank and attack the enemy's long-range troops! But as the rebel army got closer and closer to his side, and there was no intention of turning the direction at all, Zhang Han's heart couldn't help but be entangled. He had the heart to ask his subordinates to prepare for battle, but there was always a trace of luck in his heart, thinking that his meaning was so clearly expressed, those guys in the rebel army should not be incomprehensible!

But what Zhang Han didn't know was that Han Xin had always been a novice with almost zero political wisdom, and Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, who knew about it, one was entangled by Spartacus, and the other had some ulterior motives and did not remind Han Xin. So all this, in the end, directly created the tragedy of Zhang Han, the general of the Qin State.

After this rebel army rushed in front of Zhang Han's five thousand Qin troops, it had no intention of sparing its hands at all, and immediately launched a fierce attack on this Qin army. Because of the luck in Zhang Han's heart, this Qin army completely missed the best opportunity to counterattack, and was directly surrounded by this rebel army, and then relied on the advantage of troops to fight the 5,000 Qin army without any strength to fight back.

In this case, even if Zhang Han has a general, it is powerless, he cursed in his heart for the untrustworthy of the rebel army, and at the same time he tore his throat and shouted for help to the New Carthage army not far away.

After hearing Zhang Han's cry for help, the New Carthaginian people over there were all indifferent, after all, these Qin troops, for them, were just a group of crooked nuts that were completely unfamiliar, if it weren't for the order of the king Shi Jinshui, they wouldn't have bothered to help this group of guys exterminate the rebels! If the Qin general named Zhang Han showed more affection to them, they would have helped if they could, but the most hateful thing was that after the war, this guy actually found another small hill not far away to settle the five thousand Qin troops under him, and he had no intention of fighting side by side with them at all. Since the other party doesn't give them face so much, then they don't bother to stick each other's cold ass with hot faces. Seeing the miserable appearance of Zhang Han and his subordinate Qin army being beaten by those rebels and crying for their fathers and mothers, some Neo-Carthaginian soldiers even secretly felt relieved in their hearts: Call you kid not to give us face, call you unsocial, and now you are beaten! Deserve!

In the end, it was Shi Jinshui who discovered Zhang Han's dilemma in the interval between releasing the cold arrows, unlike those small soldiers, he couldn't sit back and watch this Qin army be wiped out by the rebel army. Let's not mention that Zhang Han, the general of the Qin army, is still very talented! It's worth wooing. The most important point is that this time, they are nominally here to help the Qin State quell the rebellion, if in the end, the rebels are wiped out, but this Qin army, which is the official representative of the Qin State, has also been killed, so long it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings between him and Fusu, affecting his plan to control the Qin State next.

So after discovering that the Qin army led by Zhang Han was in a crisis, Shi Jinshui did not hesitate, and directly rushed to rescue Zhang Han with 20,000 heavy horses.

Seeing his soldiers being killed by those enemies who relied on the superiority of their forces, Zhang Han's heart was dripping blood, and at the same time, he regretted his original practice of wall-to-wall grass, and if he knew this, he would definitely unite tightly with those Neo-Carthaginians and fight the rebels wholeheartedly! It's a pity that it's too late for him to regret it now, after all, there is no regret medicine in the world to take!

"Damn it! Even if I Zhang Han dies, I have to pull a few people on my back! After falling into complete despair, Zhang Han finally broke out, rushed to the front line with his personal guards, and fought with the rebels who were storming his military formation.

But Zhang Han is not a fierce general like Xiang Yu after all, after slashing and killing more than a dozen rebels, one of them was accidentally pecked on the right wrist of the sword by a rebel Changge, and he was pierced through the bracer at that time, pecking out a bloody hole the size of an egg on the wrist. Hit hard, Zhang Han screamed, and the sword in his hand was taken off and dropped.

After losing his weapon, Zhang Han subconsciously wanted to hide behind those guards, but after scanning left and right, he suddenly found that these Qin troops under his command had now all fallen into a situation of fighting on their own, even his personal guards were no exception, and he couldn't find anyone who could provide cover for him.

While riding a war horse and struggling to avoid the pursuit of the rebel soldiers around him, Zhang Han sighed unwillingly: "This is really the day to kill my Zhang Han!" ”

"General Zhang Han hold on! I'm here to save you! At this time, with a loud shout, a rain of arrows accurately fell on the heads of the group of rebel soldiers who were besieging Zhang Han, and instantly cleared these most direct threats for Zhang Han.

Zhang Han looked up in the direction where the voice came from, and found that it was Shi Jinshui, the king of New Carthage, who had personally rushed to rescue him. My heart was full of surprises for the rest of my life after the catastrophe for a while, and at the same time, my favorability towards Shi Jinshui was rising.

After clearing the threats around Zhang Han with a rain of arrows, Shi Jinshui led his heavy cavalry and crashed into the battlefield where the two sides were fighting.

Since this Qin army did not have any strong anti-cavalry species, in the face of the charge of this huge number of heavy cavalry, it was simply powerless to fight back, and it was overwhelmed on the spot.

After brandishing his war knife and slashing for a while, Shi Jinshui led his soldiers to completely cut through the opponent's large array and came to Zhang Han and the few surviving Qin troops.

However, before Zhang Han could thank Shi Jinshui and them, a golden drum suddenly sounded on the battlefield, and after those rebel soldiers heard this voice, they gave up fighting with the Qin army and the New Carthage soldiers, and turned around and began to retreat.

It turned out that Liu Bang and Han Xin saw that Shi Jinshui had only sent 20,000 cavalry to rescue Zhang Han, and the rest of the army still did not stop attacking the rebel army's main formation, so they were extremely disappointed. Fortunately, with 20,000 heavy cavalry, the enemy's attack was much weaker than before, so that they could finally collect the defeated troops and then cover each other and retreat. Han Xin, who was amazingly gifted militarily, saw very clearly that if they did not take advantage of this good opportunity to retreat, their losses would only be greater, and now being able to end in this not ugly draw was already the best result for the rebel army. At the same time, in this battle, the powerful lethality of the enemy's heavy cavalry also caused a huge shock to Han Xin, making him also attach importance to the cavalry in his heart.

In fact, before the Qin Dynasty, those vassal states in China more or less had their own cavalry units, but due to the existence of chariots and stirrups and horseshoes and other extremely important accessories for cavalry have not yet been invented, so the development of cavalry has been greatly restricted. Even the Great Qin, who unified the six countries, was still the most powerful with its sharp arrow array and brave infantry, and the cavalry or something had always been in the position of auxiliary troops.

With the initiative of the rebel army to retreat, this huge battle ended in such a hurry. After the count, Shi Jinshui was distressed to find that his men had suffered more than 20,000 casualties, although because of the strong defense of the New Carthage army, most of the soldiers were only wounded but not killed, and most of them were only slightly injured, and they were still able to return to the army after recuperating for a while. But this is the biggest casualty since the start of the expedition, which still makes Shi Jinshui depressed.

Originally, in this battle, his army would not have paid such a large number of casualties at all, but who told this god that it first rained by coincidence, which made all the artillery in his hands dumb, and then Zhang Han's guy dug a pit again and buried himself himself, causing him to divide his troops to save the goods at a critical moment, making those rebels retreat calmly, and finally made an embarrassing situation of being invincible and undefeated.

"It seems that in addition to muskets, it is time for artillery to be updated! These old-fashioned artillery pieces are not only afraid of rain, but also have a slow rate of fire, and they are all solid iron bullets, and the actual damage caused is very low, which is becoming more and more unable to keep up with the needs of war! After the battle, Shi Jinshui looked at the old artillery that had not been able to fire a single shot from the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle and sighed.

On the other hand, Zhang Han, who is the chief general of the Qin army, is even more dumb and eats yellow lotus, and he can't tell if he suffers. This time, he took 5,000 Qin troops with him, originally with the idea of watching a play. But he didn't expect that those rebels had no faith and directly killed him. Although in the end, Shi Jinshui personally led troops to the rescue, but of the 5,000 Qin soldiers he brought, less than 1,000 survived in the end, and even he, the main general, was colored.

Because Zhang Han, the main general, had an unfavorable division and abnormal performance, and he himself was also injured, so after reading the emergency battle report sent back from the front line, Qin Wang Fusu immediately and decisively replaced Zhang Han, the main general, and ordered his confidant Meng Tian to lead 20,000 Qin troops to replace the Qin army that had suffered heavy casualties and had basically lost its combat ability.

Zhang Han actually expected this result a long time ago, so after receiving this latest order, he didn't complain, and obediently returned to Xianyang with his subordinates.

After returning to Xianyang, Zhang Han was summoned by Fusu before he could settle his soldiers.

With apprehension, Zhang Han followed the chamberlain into the palace, and along the way, he kept thinking about what King Qin would do with him after seeing him. After all, his performance this time was really too bad, even a general with mediocre talent couldn't behave as badly as him. So as long as Fusu is not blind, he will definitely be able to see the problem. And after seeing this problem, the other party will deal with himself like this, it is all based on the strength of the person in power, if the heart is narrower, maybe the cloth will be directly given to death, and the larger amount of gas may be punished, and then demoted to continue to use. After all, there are really not many talented people in the Qin State now. However, because Fusu has only been on the throne for a short time, Zhang Han doesn't know what kind of person this new master is, which will inevitably make him unsure in his heart.
