Although this incident still could not reverse the situation on the battlefield as a whole, it had a very great impact on the follow-up operations and the recovery of the decline of the Liaodong Army in this warring area.

After defeating Cao Wuxian's troops, Nangong Qi relied on the light chariots under his command and more than 1,000 infantry who rushed in, and under the cover of the knights, formed a defensive line in the Wuguandao area, which was a little behind the hill.

Nangong Qi is not stupid, he is not stupid enough to use the troops of less than 10,000 people in his hands to attack the main force of the Chu army under Liu Bang, whose strength is quite strong.

Because such a practice is more of a way to find death by hitting a stone with an egg.

After sending a team of scouts to the mountains to contact the officers of the prisoner army, Nangong Qi and the middle and senior officers under his command quickly made corresponding tactical arrangements for the battlefield situation.

Among them, after thinking about it for a while, he let the infantry unit under his command go to the hill with a batch of supplies, because their troops themselves rely on mobile warfare, not infantry to conduct military operations.

This unit can be more effective by roaming the flanks of the hill in a way that supports the operation with cameras.

At the same time, such an arrangement can also reduce the combat pressure of the prisoner army in the mountain camp. Because once his troops were able to effectively control the direction of the battlefield, the defenders in the camp would at best face attacks from the other three directions except the west.

At this point, Nangong Qi believed that the officers of the prisoner army would see clearly the benefits of this tactic.

......

Zhuang Guang and Li Ping, after knowing the plan of the Nangong period, did not object to this arrangement. Because just as Nangong Qi thought, Zhuang Guang and Li Ping were also very aware of the benefits of this arrangement.

It wasn't that they didn't think about why the troops under the command of Nangong Period did not form a formation to defend, but after seeing the establishment of the troops under the command of Nangong Period, they quickly dispelled this unrealistic idea.

The other side let the infantry units under his command come to support, obviously realizing that the two units were already units with different combat missions.

Their convict army, together with the more than 1,000 infantry who went up the mountain, was responsible for the defense of this core area, while the troops of the Nangong period were responsible for harassing the Chu army and reducing the pressure on the defenders on the mountain.

Although Zhuang Guang and Li Ping are not considered regular military officers, it does not mean that they are still the convicts who know nothing about this aspect after several years of military life.

Soon, after a batch of supplies and all these infantry entered the camp area, Zhuang Guang and Li Ping decided to temporarily hold the east by these more than 1,000 infantry.

And Zhu Ting, a lieutenant who was originally subordinate to the Northern Xinjiang Army Corps, who was in charge of commanding these infantry, had no objection to the arrangement of the two comrades. Because he could see clearly with both eyes, it seemed that there were many people who were stuck in this place and who could stand up, but many of these people were injured. Once the battle collapses because the combat effectiveness of these robes has dropped too much, then he also has a lot of responsibility.

So this is also the main reason why Zhu Ting is willing to accept this arrangement.

For Zhu Ting, once the war collapses, whether he can leave this place with his officers and soldiers is still a question worth pondering.

......

In contrast to the situation of the Liaodong Army, Liu Bang couldn't help but scold after knowing that Cao Wuxian's troops were defeated by the other party again: "Doesn't that fool know how to fight after such a long time?"

Many people who heard Liu Bang's words had to lower their heads. Because Cao Wuxian's matter is no longer a matter of them being able to intercede casually.

Including Zhang Liang, many people are quietly waiting for the time when Liu Bang's venting is over.

Liu Bang himself didn't know how long he had been scolding, and after Liu Bang felt that he was tired of scolding, he remembered one thing, that is, Cao Wuxian, a fellow who was still a bastard in his eyes, did not come to him.

He couldn't help but look around suspiciously, but he also found no trace of Cao Wuxian.

Liu Bang had a thought in his heart, that is: "Could this bastard run away for me after burying more than 10,000 of my people?"

In fact, it is no wonder that Liu Bang has such an idea, after all, Cao Wuxian is not like Zhou Bo, Lu Xuan, Fan Xu and others, who are familiar with him, and they knew each other's existence before the incident.

Liu Bang, who thought of this, looked at his little hair Lu Juan with his eyes for a while, and asked in a calm tone: "Brother Lu, have you ever seen Cao Wuxian, this bastard?"

Lu Juan shook his head, because he had indeed seen no trace of Cao Wushu after the rout in front of him was defeated and retreated.

Of course, Lu Juan knew very well what Liu Bang wanted to do, otherwise he would not have had a very good relationship with the other party for so many decades.

He clenched his fists and said, "Lord, do you want me to look for it?"

Liu Bang nodded: "Brother Lu, then you can go." ”

If Zhang Jiashi saw such a scene, he would feel pity for Lu Xuan.

......

According to some records in the Qingyu Spirit Book, the relationship between Liu Bang and Lu Juan has always been very good, and there should be no problem with this.

But there are two points that can be seen that Lu Juan should not actually be called a brother and sister to Liu Bang. And before Lu Juan died, he still saw Liu Bang's true face clearly.

The first thing, Zhang Jiashi didn't know whether it could be regarded as the history of the wild or the official history, that is, Lu Juan and Liu Bang fled and met Qi Ji at that time after the Battle of Suishui.

It is said that Lu Juan fell in love with this young and beautiful girl, but the development of things obviously did not have anything to do with Lu Juan.

Because Qi Ji is the Mrs. Qi who died quite miserably after Liu Bang's death, and her son Liu Ruyi's fate was also poisoned.

The second thing, Zhang Jiashi thinks that it should be a record of the majority of wild history, that is, before Liu Bang's defeat into Gao, Lu Juan had planned to let Ji Xin leave together. But with Ji Xin's stay, Lu Juan couldn't change anything.

Maybe Ji Xin really wanted to serve Liu Bang to the death at that time, but since Lu Juan did this kind of thing, it was obvious that it was not Ji Xin's problem alone.

In the end, after Ji Xin was killed by Xiang Yu, Lu Juan began to estranged himself from Liu Bang.

In the end, Zhang Jiashi asked Bai Qi about one thing, that is, Lu Juan defected to Donghu before he died, did Liu Bang really want to kill Lu Juan?

(Lu Huang should have defected to the Donghu people rather than the Huns, because at that time, the direction of Lu Juan's exit was still the control area of the Donghu people.) And Lu Juan's grandson Lu Ta, as the king of Donghu, surrendered to Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, which also shows that Lu Huang defected to Donghu instead of the Xiongnu. ）

Bai Qi's answer is very simple: "If Liu Bang doesn't have this kind of thought, or if he doesn't have such a plan, with Lu Xuan's understanding of Liu Bang, will he not be able to see the facts clearly?"

Bai Qi's words made Zhang Jiashi understand a situation, that is, even if Liu Bang did not plan to kill Lu Juan, it did not mean that Lu Juan's thoughts were not afraid, or that Liu Bang wanted to deal with Lu Juan, and Lu Juan's more just wanted to live.

Moreover, if Liu Bang didn't want to solve Lu Xuan, why did he let Fan Hao and Zhou Bo lead the army to attack Yan State?

Although the princes and kings with different surnames during the Liu Bang period all ended up miserable. But there is also a Hengshan king, Wu Rui, who still died well.

However, even if Zhang Jiashi really saw this, he would not say anything, because for now, the relationship between Lu Juan and Liu Bang seems to be as close as before.

......

After a while, Lu Juan returned to Liu Bang, and he shook his head: "Lord, I asked a lot of routs, and they all said that they had not seen Cao Wuxian. And some of Cao Wuxian's subordinates were in the army...... It is said that Cao Wushu had fled the battlefield by the time they collapsed. ”

Hearing Lu Juan's words, Liu Bang was amused, and in the strange eyes of many people, Liu Bang laughed for a while before saying: "Sure enough, of course, if my father sees that bastard, I must beat him!"

In fact, no one in the Chu army, including Liu Bang, knew that Cao Wuxian was now tightly tied, and then he was taken in a carriage and returned to Xianyang along Wuguan Road under the escort of a team of knights.

With such a little guard strength, Nangong Qi is not afraid that the other party will run away, because although the other party's thigh has been urgently bandaged, even if it is cured, it may be difficult to walk, so Nangong Qi is not worried that the other party will escape by himself.

Because a person who is afraid of death will not do such a stupid thing.

Unable to find Cao Wuxian and vent the anger in his heart, Liu Bang still put his attention on the next battle arrangement.

After Liu Bang motioned for Lu Juan to sit down, he asked Zhang Liang, "Mr. Zifang, what should I do next?"

"Pei Gong, the ovary thinks that we may have lost the opportunity in this battle. It is impossible for the other party's reinforcements to be only such a few people, because the other party's reinforcements do not seem to be more numerous than the Qin Dogs who arrived yesterday. It was clear that this force was more just stalling for time so that its main force would come to support after some time. ”

Zhang Liang spoke softly about his thoughts, and if Wang Li was here, he would have to be surprised by Zhang Liang's ability to judge.

In fact, the situation Zhang Liang said was no different from his arrangement.

After hearing Zhang Liang's analysis, the others couldn't help but be moved. The people present were not people who did not know anything about military affairs, and in these few encounters, they became more and more aware that the Liaodong Army was not such an easy opponent to deal with.

And in the hearts of Fan Xu and the others, the combat effectiveness of these Liaodong Army they encountered was even better than Li You's main force in Sanchuan County.

Once more Liaodong troops arrive at this place, I'm afraid they will really be in big trouble.

Liu Bang also understood this truth, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked at Zhang Liang: "Mr. Zifang, I don't know if there is a way to solve this problem?"

Zhang Liang really wanted to tell Liu Bang a fact, that is, the current situation is no longer a simple strategy that can be easily solved.

The size of the troops under their command was too large, and the control of Wuguandao was not in their hands. Even if they really dared to send a small force to raid Guanzhong, but in the case of unfamiliar people, these troops had only one fate, that is, they were wiped out by Qin Gou's main force.

And in such an environment, if they wanted the main force to go north to the Guanzhong area, they had to deal with more than 10,000 people on the opposite side.

Zhang Liang didn't think that in such a situation, the difficulty for them to solve the other party would be even smaller than before the other party's reinforcements came.

Zhang Liang looked at a silk map on the table, pondered for a while, and said: "Pei Gong, if it is according to the foolish opinion of Zifang, we should avoid confrontation with Qin Gou's main force, and the main force will quickly cross the Danshui, and then go south to Hanzhong County to capture a piece of land that can threaten the Guanzhong region. ”

After Liu Bang heard Zhang Liang's words, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, because he didn't expect Zhang Liang to have such an idea.

In fact, if Liu Bang really obeyed Zhang Liangyan, Zhang Jiashi would have a headache in such a situation.

Relying on the five thousand knights of Li Shang alone, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop Liu Bang's plan to go south to Hanzhong County. This is a very fatal thing for Zhang Jiashi.

After all, even if he racked his brains now, he couldn't squeeze out more troops to deal with the situation that was becoming more and more unfavorable to him.

However, Liu Bang may think very highly of himself this time, or he may be confused by the agreement of "the king who enters the customs first". After thinking about it for a while, Liu Bang did not accept Zhang Liang's suggestion.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked Zhang Liang: "Mr. Zifang, can't we defeat each other and enter Guanzhong?"

Zhang Liang, who heard this, knew that his hard work directly fed the wolf dog. But since he was Liu Bang's mastermind, he still looked down at the map again and thought about how he should deal with Liu Bang's plan and the steps he could achieve.

Soon, Zhang Liang gritted his teeth, and then said a sentence: "There is no other good way to do it, only one sentence, if you can't defeat these two Qin Dog troops before tomorrow, everything will be over." ”

Zhang Liang's judgment of the situation was very accurate, because he knew very well that since Liu Bang did not intend to listen to his instructions, but planned to continue to enter Guanzhong, then everything could only be seen with the enemy.

After Liu Bang heard Zhang Liang's words, he didn't say anything, but after pondering for a while, he raised his head and said a word to the people under his command in front of him: "In that case, let's defeat these two Qin Gou's troops before tomorrow! ”

"Whoa!"

After everyone agreed in unison, they quickly left the house where Liu Bang was.

And Zhang Liang also left with his fists clenched.

Because he knew very well in his heart that it was very difficult for Liu Bang to do this. But Zhang Liang would not say his heart at such a time: "Pei Gong, could it be that ethereal throne that makes you faint?"

Zhang Liang is not worried about his fate, if he is worried that he will be killed by Liu Bang, he will not return to Liu Bang's side again.

After leaving the house, Zhang Liang glanced up at the sun gradually moving westward, and sighed softly: "Everything is today." ”

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

The Chu army moved again, but this time they were not as easy as the prisoner army's defense area that had attacked the hill camp in the previous two times.

Not only is there more than 1,000 new troops in the camp area, which strengthens the defense of the camp a lot, but also because once the Chu army's troops plan to bypass the left and right areas of the hill and besiege the camp area on the mountain, they will be harassed by the troops from the mountain and the Nangong period who are fighting in the mobile battle, not only pay considerable casualties, but also very low efficiency.

As a fierce general in Liu Bang's army, after several offensives of the Chu army were repulsed, Zhou Bo was ordered by Liu Bang, who listened to Zhang Liang's advice, to lead the knights and chariot troops in the army to confront him.

However, what Zhou Bo didn't expect was that the troops he led to fight this time could be said to be far away from the range of the camp on the mountain. However, before his troops could fight with the troops of the Nangong Period, the other party gave him a dismount first.

Hundreds of waves of arrows rained down from the sky.

A rain of arrows of this density would not have caused much damage to the chariot troops. But everyone including Zhou Bo thought wrongly, that is, the penetration and lethality of these armor-piercing crossbow arrows are not comparable to ordinary crossbows.

The leather armor of the chariots under the command of the Chu army, and even the heavy armor of the drivers, could hardly stop the projectile of this armor-piercing crossbow arrow.

From time to time, when a chariot is three or four hundred meters away from the opponent, it loses control or even collides with other chariots because of casualties among the horses or drivers.

The situation became quite chaotic, and Zhou Bo had to order the whole army to continue the charge.

Because at such a distance, it is no longer a place where they can easily turn back.

Nangong Qi watched the chariots of the Chu army and the knight troops continue to charge, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "I didn't expect that there really is such a person who is not afraid of death." But these people don't know, I've brought some new gadgets with me this time!"

The new gadget mentioned by Nangong Period was actually a crossbow projectile mounted on the top of the chariot carriage that Zhang Jiashi planned for Wang Li to test.

This kind of crossbow projectile is a row of crossbows that Zhang Jiashi proposed to improve from the Qingyu Lingshu in order to deal with siege warfare.

Of course, no one knows how effective this thing will be.

In this battle, Wang Li transferred almost all the chariot troops to the Nangong period, including this number of twenty crossbow chariots.

According to the accompanying craftsmen sent by the Liaodong Military Manufacturing, this kind of crossbow that can be projectile has a range of up to 600 meters, and can also shoot horizontally.

The carriage of this kind of crossbow chariot is also special, and the baffles on both sides can be lowered, because the operating officers and soldiers must operate on both sides.

And a platoon crossbow chariot is capable of firing thirty crossbows in an instant...... Of course, the downside is still that, and that is whether the reliability is still good......
