readx;?? In the later generations of this world, Li Cang's battle of Jiaxian on April 9, 207 BC, relevant historians and military scientists have mixed reviews. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info.vd.m[on the top than ^^odd ^^ in ^^ text ^^ net]

Historians often agree on one point, that is, without Li Cang's desperate delay in the battle of Jiaxian, it is still unknown whether Zhang Jiashi can really gain a foothold in the Guanzhong area. And many historians believe that Zhang Jiashi's support for Li Miao in the past few decades and even the marriage of his beloved daughter Zhang Zhen as his wife has many reasons. Among them, these people thought that Zhang Jiashi knew very well what Li Cang's efforts had brought him, and reciprocated to his son Li.

Although this statement is more of a speculation, for Zhang Jiashi, it may not be that he did not have such an idea and put it into action.

But for the evaluation of military scientists, Li Cang's battle of Jiaxian was more of a foolish practice of self-isolation in the middle of a dead end.

Because the commander of a normal point knows very well that this place in Jiaxian County is not in danger to defend, and secondly, there is not enough material to support the troops defending the city.

Li Cang ignored these two points, which was obviously not the performance of a passing commander.

Therefore, although the evaluation of Li Cang in history is even much higher than that of Qin Min, who was forced to commit suicide a few years later because of his family's crime, in terms of military affairs, he was evaluated as the last of the top ten captains of the Liaodong Army under Zhang Jiashi.

And the evaluation of the military ability of the top ten lieutenants, from high to low, are:

Han Xin, Huan Su, Su Teng, Ying Bu, Qin Min, Li Shang, Wang Ling, Xiahou Ying, Du Cong, Ruan Weng Shao, Li Cang.

This evaluation was made by a military academy evaluation hundreds of years ago. The selection category is based on the background of the Liaodong Army and those who served as the commander in the early stage of the chaotic era at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

Among them, the two commanders of the prisoner army, Yingbu and Li Cang, were selected backwards.

In addition, for example, Su Jiao and the two of them should be able to rank in the middle and upper reaches, but because they and Wang Li, Yu Ziqi and others successively served as generals during this period, they lost this evaluation qualification.

In fact, if Li Cang hadn't died in the Battle of Jiaxian, it is estimated that the ranking would still be above Wang Ling or Xiahou Ying.

That's for later.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

Of course, Li Cang couldn't know this kind of thing from the next few hundred years, for him, the swarming Chu army was an important opponent he had to deal with at the moment, once he failed in this place, even if Zhang Jiashi let him go and didn't hold him responsible, it would be difficult for him to continue to stay in the Liaodong army.

And for the underestimation of the situation in Jiaxian, this aspect is indeed his mistake, and he himself cannot deny this.

The current situation was already obvious, no matter what, he had to hold on to such a small city for at least a day, otherwise, Wang Lijun would even be dragged down by him.

But in terms of such an environment, Li Cang didn't say a day in his heart, once Liu Bangjun discovered their weaknesses and took targeted actions to continue to attack Jiaxian, I am afraid that he would not be able to hold on for half a day.

However, now is no better time to dwell on such a situation.

"Shoot !!"

After hearing the order, the hundreds of crossbowmen of the prisoner army guarding the city wall quickly shot at the vanguard of the Chu army about 300 meters with their bows and crossbows.

A ** arrow kept appearing in the sky, and after flying for a while, it quickly flew towards the advancing Chu army.

After about a few seconds, Chu officers and soldiers were shot by arrows and fell to the ground screaming.

However, Lu Ze is not a mediocre talent, but a very capable officer, he did not let his officers and soldiers stop like this, but constantly let his own soldiers convey orders to the officers under his command.

After the Chu army entered the Jiaxian area for about 200 meters, the Chu army also began to return fire with bows and crossbows.

The bows and crossbows and arrows fired by both sides constantly made the officers and soldiers of the other side scream, and even directly took the lives of some officers and soldiers.

However, because of the large difference in numbers, the crossbowmen under Li Cang's command were quickly suppressed by the dense arrows of the Chu army.

Don't think that the current Liu Bangjun is still like the peasant army that just started in Pei County, and its equipment is quite inferior. On the contrary, after such a long time of fighting and capturing many cities, most of the troops under Liu Bang's command have been equipped with weapons and equipment captured on the battlefield from the arsenals of cities captured by Liu Bang from various places.

Therefore, in terms of equipment, Liu Bangjun is now equivalent to most of his subordinates having county-level equipment.

And the troops under Lu Ze are one of the troops with the most such equipment.

Coupled with the difference in numbers between the two sides, the prisoner army at the head of the city was quickly suppressed by the Chu army, but it was not a strange thing.

Looking at the Lu character banner written by Xiao Seal, Li Cang didn't know who the commander of Liu Bang's army was, and naturally he didn't think who was leading the troops to fight him.

But for Li Cang, even if Liu Bang personally led the troops into battle, it didn't matter, because for him, he just needed to hold on here and delay as much time as possible.

It's not that Li Cang hasn't thought about one thing, that is, in such a situation, to break through to other places. But things have come to such a point, even if only a few of his people are killed, what can he do? He, Li Cang, is not the kind of bastard who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and also abandons all the officers and soldiers under his command.

From time to time, he swept away some arrows flying towards him with a big gun in his hand, Li Cang looked coldly at the Chu army opposite him, and thought in his heart: "Come on, even if I drag you into a street fight, I will drag you down!"

Li Cang was not worried that Liu Bang and the others would bypass Jiaxian and continue to go north directly, because once Liu Bang did this, they would be able to say that there was no way out after they were defeated by Zhang Jiashi's mobilized troops.

Ordinary commanders would not do such a stupid thing, let alone Liu Bang. He didn't think that this person, who seemed to be a little jealous in Zhang Jiashi's heart, would make such a mistake.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, Li Cang even hopes that the other party can directly give up Jiaxian, because he doesn't think that under the other party's offensive, he can hold out for a long time.

In less than ten minutes, the officers and soldiers around him paid a considerable price, and this was still the loss of the other party's failure to land in the city.

"The enemy is coming!!"

The five hundred lords of a prisoner army shouted out such a sentence, because in front of him, no, it should be said that under the city wall of Jiaxian, many Chu troops have successfully set up a cloud ladder.

In fact, this height, such a thing as a ladder, is more of a burden.

However, even because of this, it was difficult for the convict officers and soldiers on the eastern wall of Jiaxian County to effectively prevent the other party from climbing the city wall.

Many crossbowmen, who don't even need to aim, can even shoot a Chu officer and soldier dozens of meters away under the cover of the shield of the heavy infantry.

This is because the number of people on the other side is also a little too much.

Faced with such a situation, Li Cang, who was holding a big gun in his hand, had to say loudly after directly stabbing to death a Chu army who was climbing the ladder: "Crossbowmen, give me hand-to-hand combat!!"

Li Cang can't give an order like this, because for him, the number of these Chu troops is too much.

The crossbowman could not play much of a role in such a situation, and it would be more practical to draw his sword and assist others in fighting the enemy forces that had landed in the city.

......

Under the protection of his own soldiers, Lu Ze observed the battle situation from an area of about 400 meters.

For him, the combat capability of the Liaodong Army seems to have some elements of boasting. Because the officers and soldiers of Chu under his command were able to quickly suppress the opponent under the opponent's combat situation.

"The Liaodong Army is no more than Erer. But that little brother is not such a stupid person, it is impossible for him not to know the strength of the officers and soldiers under his command. ”

Lu Ze muttered such a sentence, in his heart, although Zhang Jiashi and him were only a few faces, but he already knew a lot of things, in fact, he was very puzzled about such a situation.

He knew very well that although Lu Pheasant did not say this, whether it was him, his younger brother Lu Shizhi, brother-in-law Fan Xu, and his sister Lu, they could see what the facts were.

Even the judge who has always had a crush on Lu Pheasant can think of the general situation.

Liu Changman is the son of the young brother back then, and it is undeniable, because although Liu Changman is young now, in terms of appearance, he is quite similar to the other party's face, and just by virtue of this, it has explained a lot of things.

To be honest, if it weren't for Liu Bang tying up their Lu family early, maybe he would even have taken people to join Zhang Jiashi at the beginning of the incident.

Of course, Lu Ze himself knew very well that he was able to confirm that the little brother back then was the current Great Qin Zuo General Zhang Jiashi, and it was some time before the incident in Peixian.

That's a thing that I realized by chance.

In a transaction, a side branch of the Lu family knew Zhang Jiashi's name, and thought it was a person with the same name and surname, but after confirming that there were also Xiao He, Cao Shen, Wang Ling and others in Liaodong County, this side branch had to relay the news to Lu Ze, who had actually become the head of the family at that time.

He originally planned to send some people into Liaodong County first to confirm such a situation, but without waiting for Lu Ze to put this matter into action, Liu Bang would actually coerce them into opposing Qin together.

After knowing that he and the Lu family were already tied up with Liu Bang, Lu Ze had to dispel such an idea.

......

After thinking about his own affairs and coming back to his senses for a while, Lu Ze discovered a situation, that is, the officers and soldiers under his command had not yet climbed the city wall.

After knowing such a situation, Lu Ze had to feel very surprised. Because according to his thoughts, the offensive just now was enough for the officers and soldiers under his command to rush into Jiaxian.

"Could it be that I still underestimate the strength of the Liaodong Army?" Lu Ze had to ask himself in his heart.

But for Lu Ze, such a small matter does not require him to let his troops lose too much strength.

"You ask Pei Gong for reinforcements. ”

Lu Ze said this to one of his henchmen, who quickly rode away after holding his fists and agreeing.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Liu Bang originally thought that if Lu Ze made a move, this Jiaxian County, which was not too difficult to capture, would easily fall in one fell swoop.

But after seeing Lu Ze's henchmen and hearing that Lu Ze actually sent someone to ask for help, Liu Bang's expression was a little stunned.

After seeing Liu Bang's reaction, Zhang Liang couldn't help coughing lightly.

After hearing Zhang Liang's reminder, Liu Bang reacted, and after thinking for a while, he quickly said: "Zhou Cao, Ji Xin, the two of you each lead 10,000 people to support General Lu. ”

"Whoa!"

The two generals of the Chu army who were beside Liu Bang quickly received the order and left their positions.

Although it is said that Zhang Jiashi took away Xiao He and others, there are many times when history is so wonderful, such as Zhou Ke and Ji Xin, two generals of the Han Army, because of coincidence, they still became generals under Liu Bang.

In a sense, if Liu Bang knew about such a situation, what would his expression be, Zhang Jiashi might be looking forward to it. But it is impossible for Zhang Jiashi to say this matter. And for Zhang Jiashi, Liu Bang is not the only one who has been poached.

For example, if Liu Bang lost Chen Ping, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Wang Ling, and Han Xin, who was his right-hand man, it would be considered a "heavy loss", then the current Xiang Yu should have lost Yu Ji, who should have been his beloved wife, and Yu Ziji, who should have been of considerable help to him.

Whether Liu Bang's pain is greater or Xiang Yu's pain is greater, Zhang Jiashi is not in the mood to study it now. Because in order to get the Guanzhong region, Zhang Jiashi had to fight fiercely with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang and the hundreds of thousands of people under their command at the same time. It's not fun.

......

Before Zhou Ke and Ji Xin's 20,000 troops were put into the battlefield, the melee on the eastern city wall of Jiaxian County had already exhausted Li Cang and the remaining defenders of the eastern city wall.

However, Li Cang did not immediately let the personnel from other directions support, because Li Cang knew very well that the number of the Han army was several times or even more than ten times that of him, and in such a situation, it was probably not a good thing to easily transfer other troops to support.

Perhaps it was to verify Li Cang's thoughts, when Zhou Ke and the 20,000 troops under Ji Xin appeared on the battlefield, Li Cang's heart couldn't help but be shocked.

However, Zhou Ke and Ji Xin did not directly let the officers and soldiers under their command follow Lu Ze's troops to continue to attack the east, but launched a flanking attack on Jiaxian County from the north and by detouring to the east.

In such a situation, the two captains who originally wanted to ask Li Cang if he needed support had to concentrate on dealing with the two of them's troops.

As for the southern city wall, because it was relatively close to Danshui, Li Cang did not think that this place would become a war area.

He gritted his teeth and said to his own soldiers: "Go and mobilize the brothers from the south!"

If it were possible, Li Cang should regret such a move, because the south gate was originally his last chance to break through, but now, it was about to become the reason why almost the five thousand prisoner army in Jiaxian County was almost completely wiped out.

......

The battle in Jiaxian was in a fever pitch, and the officers and men of the prisoners defending Jiaxian did not have time to rest at all, and they faced the continuous onslaught of the Chu army.

And on that hill, two convict cadets were arguing.

"We should support the Captain!"

"Lord Commander orders the two of us to build a barracks in this place and hold on to it without his exact orders!"

The two convict cadets in the dispute were very clear that what the other party said made sense. But in such a situation, the dispute is no longer very important.

This place can well block Wuguan Road and the Danshui River not far away, and it is impossible for the other party to advance directly from Wuguan Road from below this camp.

That's why they were given a fortified position.

Cao Wuxian's blockade between Jiaxian and the camp of the convict army on the hill was actually unnecessary, because the two convict captains were very clear about one thing, that is, no matter what, even if they wanted to save Li Cang now, it was too late.

Seeing that the Chu army, which was at least 30,000 people, was besieging the two captains of Jiaxian, he quickly stopped the dispute, and then silently continued to command the officers and soldiers under his command to be responsible for the defense of the camp.

They knew very well that Li Cang might have had such a plan in the first place, so that the two of them would lead the brothers who were mostly veterans to stay in this camp.

But even so, they never thought that Li Cang would die like this.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

The south of Jiaxian County is quite close to Danshui, and in a sense, it is quite difficult to spread out a battle formation.

But within an hour after Zhou Ke and Ji Xin's troops were put into the battlefield, they still made no progress. Under such circumstances, Lu Ze sent hundreds of men to rush to the south, intending to take advantage of the weakness.

But they themselves didn't expect that Li Cang would be so bold and didn't leave anyone to garrison the south.

As a result, the southern part of Jiaxian was lost......

A large number of Chu troops swarmed in, and after Li Cang found out about this situation, it was already too late.

The Chu army, which poured in from the south, quickly divided the prisoner officers and soldiers in Jiaxian City and on the city walls.

The convict troops, who had to fight on their own, fell into a mutiny.

New convict officers and soldiers continued to swing their weapons at their comrades.

Many of the convicts who were still fighting turned their heads in disbelief and looked at the robes that had sent weapons into their bodies......

And Li Cang, after discovering this situation, was about to order his own soldiers to suppress the situation. But he didn't expect that his own soldiers would be killed by more than a dozen new prisoners.

Looking at these people, Li Cang's sides showed a touch of self-deprecation: "What do you think...... Even if you do such a thing, how long can you live?"

"As long as we can get your head, maybe the other party will let us all live!" said a middle-aged convict soldier with a grim smile on his face, who was said to have been slashed by the Huns.

He didn't expect that Li Cang's big gun would directly pierce his chest the next moment......

Li Cang silently squatted on the ground, gently closed the eyelids of a pro-soldier whose eyes were already distracted, and then stood up gently, looking at the Chu army who was gradually surrounding him, and couldn't help laughing......

In the eyes of the other Chu troops, this general of the Qin army, who had just easily dealt with more than a dozen rebels, after laughing, showed a self-deprecating smile to them, quickly drew the saber at his waist and slashed at his neck......

......

In the battle of Jiaxian, Li Cang finally chose the path of self-slaughter, but Lu Ze did not embarrass Li Cang's corpse, but hid it from Liu Bang and let his henchmen restrain Li Cang's corpse.

......

More than ten years later, Li met Lu Ze, who was the enemy of his father, in Xianyang, but Li did not blame the other party, but asked Lu Ze about something, and then left.

"General Lu, my father, who is he?"

"At that time, Li Duwei was a hero, although he died, but his death allowed him to have no regrets......"
