Chapter Seventy-Four: Guan Long Qin Feng 31
readx;?? The strength of Liu Bang's army was not too badly damaged in the first wave of attacks launched by more than 60,000 Qin officers and soldiers under Wang Li's command. Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.info Copy this address to browse%62%69%71%69%65But the victory or defeat on the battlefield is difficult to use casualties as a calculation in many cases. Because after Liu Bangjun's defeat in the previous army, the army's morale was too shaken.
In this case, Liu Bang's attempt to rely on Jiaxian as the center to organize a second line of defense is of course quite beautiful, but it is not ordinarily difficult to do this.
Otherwise, Zhang Liang would not have advised Liu Bang again and retreated to Nanyang County to make another calculation.
It's just that Zhang Liang himself didn't expect that Zhang Jiashi would actually lead a team of light horsemen, cross the river from the lower reaches of Danshui, and go north directly along Wuguan Road.
If Zhang Liang knew about such a situation, it is estimated that he would not have let Liu Bang lead the army to retreat so rashly.
According to Zhang Liang's own estimates, Zhang Jiashi had no intention of annihilating them all in the area of Jiaxian.
At this point, Zhang Liang's estimate is completely correct. But it doesn't mean that Zhang Jiashi will let Liu Bang and the tens of thousands of people under his command go so easily.
In Zhang Jiashi's heart, Liu Bang's threat is very big, even greater than Xiang Yu. Although Zhang Jiashi looks down on Liu Bang's character, it does not mean that Zhang Jiashi will look down on Han Gaozu, who has been in the Han Dynasty for 400 years.
Even if Zhang Jiashi led a team of light horsemen to sneak attack from behind, but he himself did not plan to be able to leave Liu Bang, like a cockroach like the other party, Zhang Jiashi hoped that he was now a "black whirlwind", but of course, this is impossible.
Being able to make Liu Bangjun and Liu Bang, the bastard, lose considerable strength and have a sense of fear for the Liaodong Army, Zhang Jiashi believes that being able to do these two things is what he wants to do in this battle plan.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
At noon, after about half an hour of regrouping and resting, Wang Lijun's command passed through some supplementary four army formations and launched an attack on Jiaxian County, where Liu Bang's army was located, and the nearby camps.
But what made the four officers on the front line feel very strange was that Liu Bangjun did not send people to meet the battle.
The four people who didn't know what the situation was, and they didn't directly lead the army to attack the opponent's camp, because at such a time, the four people who were told by Wang Li to act carefully couldn't figure out what the situation was.
But for now, they can't lead their troops to stay in such a place.
As a result, the four battle formations, which had been supplemented and reorganized, each sent troops of about 1,000 men to check the situation as the vanguard.
After a while, the previous situation was fed back, that is, except for a few old, weak, sick and disabled, many camps, even the defenders of the Jiaxian city wall, seemed to be gone.
After knowing such news one after another, whether it was Gao Jian and Yu Hua, or Nangong Period and Zhuang Guang, who led the troops respectively, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Because such a situation is indeed unexpected for them.
But there is something that has not yet been determined, and that is where these enemies who seem to have disappeared are, and it is very likely that they have retreated, and it is very likely that a trap has been arranged for them to get into.
In such a situation, they themselves are not too self-assertive. Because their four forces are now fighting in tandem, not just on their own.
After Yu Hua and Gao Jian discussed, they still sent someone to inform Wang Li and let the other party solve the matter.
......
After hearing the report from the front, Wang Li's heart was also surprised, because he himself didn't expect Liu Bangjun to have such a situation.
But Wang Li knew one thing very well, that is, now was not the time for them to calmly plan their next battle arrangement.
Because of the current situation, it was the troops under his command and Zhang Jiashi's team of light cavalry that joined forces to flank Liu Bang's army in front and back.
If he doesn't move because of this, once something goes wrong with Zhang Jiashi, then he will really end up miserable.
"Let the front-line personnel allocate half of their military strength to attack Liu Bang's military system. ”
Wang Li quickly said this, because he knew very well that no matter whether Liu Bangjun arranged a trap or not, there were some things that he couldn't scruple too much.
......
Wang Li's order made the four of Nangong feel a little surprised, but soon they were able to think of why Wang Li would give such an order. That's because of the existence of Zhang Jiashi.
If Zhang Jiashi really had a problem, or if he was in danger and the reason was that they delayed the fighter, then whether it was Wang Li or them, their fate would not be any better.
So, after spending a little time to let the troops that had suffered some casualties on the front line retreat, and reorganize and arrange again, more than 20,000 Qin officers and soldiers rushed to Liu Bang's Chinese front.
It may be possible to rely on a team of old, weak, sick and disabled troops to resist the onslaught of the Qin army. However, if these troops are not only old, weak, sick and disabled, but can be said to be extremely weak in their will to fight, it will be very difficult for them to resist the onslaught of the Qin army.
The two barracks built in the north and south of Jiaxian County were broken through by the Qin officers and soldiers backwards, and in these two places, the Qin officers and soldiers who rushed into the barracks did not find anything unusual.
According to the speculation of some captains who led the army to fight, it is very likely that Liu Bangjun really broke and fled.
They sent the news to the scouts to the rear. But for them, the battle is not over.
Because Jiaxian has not yet been captured.
Compared with the Chu army camps in the north and south regions, the defense strength of Jiaxian County is indeed stronger.
Nearly 9,500 Qin officers and soldiers were held back by the defenders of the city wall.
Nangong Qi and Zhuang Guang, after receiving the battle report from the front, immediately sent out their own officers and soldiers to fight, together with Gao Jian and Yu Hua's headquarters who were storming Jiaxian, to flank Jiaxian.
The city wall was short, and the defenders were basically transferred to Jiaxian on the west city wall, and they were soon attacked by the Qin army from two other directions, and broke into the city.
In this battle, Wang Li did not intend to leave too many prisoners. And Zhang Jiashi has an order, that is, in this operation, once the Chu army wears the standard armor of the Liaodong Army or has a weapon marked by the Liaodong Army,
Then there is only one way to deal with these enemies, and that is to kill!
It is unlikely that the Chu army had Liaodong-style weapons and armor in their hands, and even if a small number of armor weapons were circulated for many reasons, it was not enough to explain a problem.
Why did Zhang Jiashi do this?
It's very simple, because if these enemies have Liaodong-style weapons or armor in their hands, it means one thing in such a situation, that is, the other party is to strip off the armor and weapons of the prisoners and soldiers who died in the battle to arm themselves.
Zhang Jiashi didn't want to kill too many people, especially since these were more than a team of enemies composed of coerced civilians.
However, it does not mean that Zhang Jiashi will tolerate such a situation.
Of course, the other party defeated Li Cang's subordinates, allowing Zhang Jiashi and the officers and soldiers of Liaodong to try the bitter fruit of the annihilation of the entire army for the first time. But this does not mean that Zhang Jiashi will not take revenge, nor will he seek justice for the dead officers and soldiers.
What if Zhang Jiashi really didn't want to kill too many people? Even if the armor and equipment that had been stripped off were the trophies of the other party? Even if Zhang Jiashi did this, in fact, he didn't even approve of it?
Zhang Jiashi just hoped that the officers and soldiers under his command could have a decent funeral. Once the other party strips off the armor and weapons of the war dead, it is impossible for the war dead under his command to have a decent funeral......
Therefore, he can only use this way to take revenge.
......
The battle in the city of Jiaxian soon became one-sided.
The number of Chu officers and soldiers in the city was small, and they faced the Liaodong army, which was quite well-equipped and about very large in number.
Many Chu officers and soldiers were suppressed in street battles, and then divided by the opposing Qin officers and soldiers in the battle.
A Han army lieutenant who was in charge of staying in Jiaxian County wanted to gather his officers and soldiers together, and then break through to the outside of the city.
He no longer wanted his brothers under his command to continue to fight against these wolf-like Qin dogs. He just wants as many people as possible to live.
He is not Liu Bang's descendant, but the county lieutenant of a small county in Nanyang County.
He really wanted to tell his original identity, and then let the officers and soldiers under his command have a way to live.
However, he found out that the messengers he had sent were not taken seriously at all, or that they did not take them seriously at all.
The lieutenant was desperate. After he saw a few of his own soldiers retreat to the house, he knew that he could not escape now.
A few screams were heard in the street outside the house, followed by dense footsteps.
The door of the house was slammed open, and several of his guards protected him with pale faces.
The lieutenant didn't see anyone rushing in, but outside the door that had been knocked open, there were dozens of crossbowmen in two rows, crouching or standing, aiming their crossbows at them......
The lieutenant was about to shout something, and then he heard:
"Put !!"
......
Gently kicked this should be the captain of the Chu army, but the body was shot into a dozen arrows, and the corpse that was obviously dead and could no longer be killed, a hundred generals of the Qin army gently spat on the side: "If you didn't wear this armor, I'm afraid you wouldn't have died in this house." The king has already commanded...... Once you see someone wearing the armor left behind by the prisoner officers and soldiers, then, there is only one way, and that is to kill without mercy. It is not us who you will hate, nor kings, but your greed. ”
Of course, this lieutenant could not hear what this hundred generals said, but perhaps he would know the cause of his death in his final belonging......
......
The clean-up operation in Jiaxian County lasted about an hour.
And after completely cleaning up Jia County, Wang Li determined one thing, that is, near Jia County, there was no longer the remaining main force of Liu Bangjun. It is very likely that the other party has completely collapsed out of the vicinity of Jiaxian.
Faced with such a thing, Wang Li asked Gao Jian and Nangong Qi to lead 500 chariots and 4,000 knights respectively to chase after the Han army.
said so, but when Gao Jian and Nangong received Wang Li's order, some changes occurred in the articles on the order.
That was their first task, which was to force the Chu army to speed up the rout, and to receive Zhang Jiashi's troops back to Jiaxian.
You must know that the Chu army is not like their troops, after two battles, the mobile combat force of the Chu officers and soldiers, even if they are not completely destroyed, I am afraid that their vitality will be greatly damaged.
In such a situation, the speed of Liu Bangjun's retreat would not be too fast.
Although it is not known whether Liu Bangjun all returned along the Wuguan Road, one thing is clear, that is, he must leave the main infantry force to clear the rout of the Chu army in the nearby mountains and forests, so as to avoid major problems in the future due to today's negligence.
After receiving Wang Li's order, Nangong Qi and Gao Jian did not complain about anything.
In particular, Gao Jian, whose troops were almost scattered, was actually relieved to be in such a situation. After all, if the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers were used like this, it would be a pretty good result for him.
............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................
In the mountains and forests on the north side of Wuguan Road, about ten kilometers south of Jia County, Zhang Jiashi was gently patting the back of Hongyun's neck, and in front of him were some Liu Bangjun convoys guarding some carriages that appeared one after another.
Zhang Jiashi was not interested in these grain wagons. Because he plans to see if he can solve the scourge of Liu Bang.
Although he himself knew that in terms of Liu Bang's cockroach life, the possibility of his idea succeeding was very small.
Zhang Jiashi, who had been lurking in this place more than half an hour ago, saw that there were already 20,000 or 30,000 Chu troops in front of him and retreating to the southeast.
This is also the reason why Zhang Jiashi had to lead the army to lurk in the mountains and forests.
Because Zhang Jiashi was not sure that he would be able to lead the army in a formation of tens of thousands of people to rush back to the north of Jiaxian again.
So he was waiting, waiting for Liu Bangjun's rout to pass almost over, and then he would raid the other party.
......
Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi and other members of the Lu family, as well as Fan Xu and others, were leading their troops along Wuguan Road to return to Wuguan.
They did not go to the front, but in the rear army and the rear of Liu Bang's pro-army, leading their own pro-army and some soldiers and horses, escorting their families and some supplies, and slowly advancing.
The people in charge of the palace are Zhou Ke and Zhou Bo. Ji Xin and Zhang Liang protected Liu Bang.
For such a situation, Lu Pheasant didn't say anything, because she was already very disappointed in Liu Bang.
Before they left, Liu Bang actually snatched the vehicle arranged for her and the Lu family's family in this way, and left with his confidants and important ministers.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have walked to the middle of the line at such a time.
Judging Shiqi wanted to find Liu Bang desperately, but he was gently pulled by Lu Pheasant's sleeve.
After glancing at Lu Pheasant, who was holding Liu Changman and his face was unwavering, he could only find a few carriages for Lu Pheasant and them again after watching Liu Bang leave.
Maybe it's the arrangement of fate, maybe it's the trick of fate, after Zhang Jiashi, who was silently controlling the dragonfly to observe the situation, found this team that seemed to be very easy to start, Lu Pheasant might smile helplessly......
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
"Now is it. The other party seems to have passed. Zhang Jiashi reluctantly withdrew his control over the grass dragonfly. Because with the grass dragonfly alone, there is no way to find out where Liu Bang's bastard is.
And at such a time, there was such a convoy with a small number of guards, Zhang Jiashi was unwilling to return empty-handed, so he had to give the order that everyone was ready to attack.
A few minutes later, a convoy of less than a thousand escorts appeared in front of them.
Compared with the situation of other personnel, this team seemed relatively calm, which made Zhang Jiashi mistakenly think that Liu Bang was likely to be in this team.
In fact, if Zhang Jiashi knew that Liu Bang had already slipped away under his nose, Zhang Jiashi would probably cry and faint next to the pit of the mao......
Looking at this convoy, Zhang Jiashi drew out the Dingqin sword, and then waved forward:
"Rush, !!"
The 5,000 knights of the Liaodong Army pounced directly on the convoy more than 300 meters away like tigers descending from the mountain.
The personnel guarding this convoy reacted quickly, but the distance between the two sides was too close, and before Lu Ze and the others could let the officers and soldiers under their command form a resistance formation, a wave of arrows fell from the sky, causing dozens of officers and soldiers to fall.
"The Lady of the Guard rushed over !!"
The judge who used his weapon to dispel the few stray arrows that shot down the carriage quickly made a judgment, because in such a situation, it was only possible to get the important person out of danger first.
The coachman, who had heard the order to judge him, quickly urged his mount and then sped up the carriage and ran forward.
And Fan Xu, Lu Shizhi, Lu Ze and others led the personnel to meet Zhang Jiashi.
A rain of arrows fell in the sky again, causing the Chu officers and soldiers to fall hundreds of people again, but Fan Hao soon led dozens of knights to collide head-on with the knight troops under Zhang Jiashi's command.
Fan Xu's strength is very strong, and the ordinary officers and soldiers of Liaodong are not opponents of the other party.
But Fan Hao soon discovered a situation, that is, the personal soldiers around him quickly died cleanly.
What awaited him was the siege launched by the officers and soldiers of Liaodong who reacted.
No matter how brave Fan Hao was, he couldn't stop the siege of hundreds of people, including Zhang Jiashi's personal guards.
After Fan Hao pierced the chest of a Qin officer and soldier again with the spear in his hand, his mount let out a wail.
A few spears or weapons such as beryllium pierced Fan Xu's mount.
Fan Xu felt that his body seemed to be getting closer and closer to the ground, and hurriedly supported the horse's back with his hands, intending to jump up.
But what awaited him was a throwing gun that was spun and thrown.
No matter how high Fan Xu's martial arts are, it is impossible to block the attack of this spear in the air, because the person who threw this spear is not someone else, but Yu Yong.
In fact, before the wooden rod of the big gun in his hand was smashed by this fine iron throwing gun, Fan Xu should be glad a little, that is, if Zhang Jiashi hadn't suddenly seen Fan Xu's familiar appearance from the crowd, I'm afraid, Yu Yong would not have swept the throwing gun over in this way that he himself felt uncomfortable, but directly aimed the tip of the gun at Fan Xu......
If this is really the case, Fan Xu's body will not break a few bones now, and it is obvious that he will be directly pierced by a gun.
Spurting out a mouthful of blood, pouring out Fan Xu, what you see......
It was the face he shouldn't forget......
