readx;?? In Zhang Jiashi's plan, his 50,000 or so troops were not all the troops mobilized in this attack on Hanzhong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info [Burning ^ Wen ^ Book Library] [].. [>

Because the combat troops he allocated to Li Xin were 20,000 people, and they were 30,000 people in reserve, if the battle situation really wanted Zhang Jiashi to touch these 100,000 people at once, it would almost be to mobilize more than 130,000 troops in the Guanzhong area into this operation.

Zhang Jiashi didn't want this to happen, but once it really came to this point, Zhang Jiashi wouldn't hesitate anything.

Because for him, Hanzhong County must be controlled in his hands.

After all, how can others snore on the side of the couch, not to mention that Zhang Jiashi knows very well that some things are really unguardable, if Gongsun Zao crosses the mountains with a small force and enters the Guanzhong region, this is really a troublesome thing.

Therefore, for many reasons, Zhang Jiashi would not let Gongsun Zao entrench in the important place of Hanzhong County for too long.

......

In Zhang Jiashi's marching ranks, Ruan Weng Shao, a fierce general under Zhang Jiashi, and now also a general of the Great Qin Empire, became the vanguard commander of 10,000 troops, while Lu Ze and Yu Ziqi served as the left and right captains respectively.

Among the more than 30,000 Chinese troops, Zhang Jiashi personally served as the commander, Han Xin was the first deputy general, and Li Zuoche and Sun Po served as the military divisions.

The more than 10,000 people of the rear army were commanded by the second deputy general Meng Wu, while Cao Shen became the military advisor and was responsible for the dispatch of grain and grass.

The generals brought out by Zhang Jiashi this time can also be regarded as star-studded, after all, they are like Han Xin and Li Zuoche and others, all of whom can be regarded as rare talents.

However, in order to avoid difficulties in taking care of each other, Zhang Jiashi also had not many knight troops under his command, and it was difficult to quickly support the other party in the event of a sudden attack on one unit, so Zhang Jiashi did not too much distance between several troops of different numbers.

As the vanguard of the vanguard, Lu Ze's caution did allow Zhang Jiashi to avoid many attacks on the way to the army. However, this situation slowed down the advance of Zhang Jiashi's troops on the new plank road a lot.

Zhang Jiashi didn't care about the consumption of grain and grass brought about by this situation, after all, as long as it was not a few months of conquest with the scale of more than 200,000 troops. The grain dispatched by Zhang Jiashi from Liaodong and other places was still able to supply the army in a relatively timely manner.

In addition, these grains had already passed through Beijiang Road from Liaodong County and other places after September, and then went south straight to reach the Guanzhong area. In order to cope with the storage of a large number of grains, Zhang Jiashi even built several barracks for storing grain and straw in the area from Yongdu to Xianyang.

Zhang Jiashi wanted to hollow out a mountain to build a mountain warehouse, but he himself knew one thing very well. Now digging a warehouse like a mountain warehouse, judging by the current situation in the Guanzhong area. I really can't afford to toss.

In fact, Zhang Jiashi also plans to open the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum in such a few months to see what is wrong inside.

But after testing in many aspects, he found several maps of the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum found from the Xianyang Palace, and the entrances marked on them were not places that people could enter.

After all, Zhang Jiashi also got the relevant records from the Qingyu Spirit Book: the first emperor ascended the throne at the beginning of the year, wore the Lishan Mountain, and merged the world. More than 700,000 people in the world are sent to wear three springs, and the copper is sent to the coffin, and the palace is full of strange artifacts and strange weapons. Let the craftsman make a crossbow arrow, and shoot those who are close. With mercury as the rivers and seas, the machine phase is instilled, and it is astronomical. Geography is underneath. With mermaid paste as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished will last for a long time. After the big event, it has been hidden, closed in the envy, under the outside of the envy, closed the craftsman hidden. There are no returnees.

These aspects say one thing, that is, there are indeed many treasures in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, but Zhang Jiashi is not interested in these things, but is very convinced by the words of Zhao Gao's daughter.

The other party did not say in detail what was in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor that was worthy of his attention, but Zhang Jiashi knew very well that it was very likely that these things were not some people, but some corpse soldiers.

He didn't think that there would be that kind of damn bastard under Master Zhao. On the contrary, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that Zhao Gao was very likely to be involved in this forbidden technique.

After all, those ghost things under Tingwei Prison are not decorations.

He couldn't imagine a thing, what would he do if the Lishan Imperial Tomb was indeed full of these ghost things.

Because he had done several animal experiments on the periphery of the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, he confirmed one thing, that is, the interior of the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum was indeed full of mercury.

At this time, the process of refining mercury mainly comes from dansha refining. Dansa is in fact a mercury sulfide with a very high mercury content, and the sulfur molecules that act as the matrix of the compound are the main factor in the fixation of mercury.

(Cinnabar, also known as cinnabar, dansha, red dan, mercury sand, is a natural ore of mercury sulfide (chemical name: HGS), bright red, with diamond luster to metallic luster, belonging to the trigonal crystal system.) The main component of cinnabar is mercury sulfide, but it is often mixed with realgar, apatite, asphaltene, etc. Whether cinnabar has a sedative-hypnotic effect, the understanding is not very consistent, it has the effect of detoxification and antiseptic, and external use can inhibit or kill skin bacteria and parasites. Cinnabar is a compound of mercury, which has a special affinity with the phobic groups in proteins, and at high concentrations, it can inhibit a variety of enzymes and activities. Mercury entering the body is mainly distributed in the liver and kidney, causing liver and kidney damage, and can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and directly damage the central nervous system)

The toxicity of dansa itself is not as great as that of elemental mercury, but once the human body takes a large amount of dansa drugs, it will still cause compound heavy metal poisoning.

Therefore, many times the ancient elixir, whether it is directly refined with mercury or made with dansha, is itself a poison.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi knew this kind of thing very well, and he was not very interested in such things as alchemy.

However, compared to the Dansha incident, Zhang Jiashi had a headache after facing several animals that he had tested on, showing mercury poisoning.

After all, even he can't solve such a problem now.

Of course, if the entire Lishan Imperial Mausoleum was filled with volatile mercury, Zhang Jiashi would not be too worried about this matter. After all, mercury itself is also one of the weapons to restrain ghosts like corpses, and the alchemy of corpse soldiers can't let corpse soldiers come into contact with such things as mercury, otherwise, the corpse soldiers can't do it, and those bastards who refine living corpses or corpse soldiers will have no good results.

Zhang Jiashi knew very well that in this case, he really wanted to find out whether there were those ghosts in the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum. Of course, if the entire Lishan Imperial Mausoleum is indeed full of mercury, it will be a good thing.

His fear was that it might be wishful thinking. Therefore, he knew that he really had to find the answer to this question in order to reassure him.

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

According to Chen Pingren's judgment on the Gongsun of Hanzhong County. The opponent should not have more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and a large part of them are a rabble that is not even as good as the county soldiers.

Zhang Jiashi has no way to be completely at ease with such a judgment. Zhang Jiashi has been fighting for so many years. One thing is also very clear. That is, when the enemy army is in a favorable situation, these rabble can still bring a certain amount of trouble.

And according to the actual intelligence and Li Xin, Meng Wu and the two of them have an understanding of Gongsun Zao, this person is not a wine bag and rice bag, at the very least, the other party's ability may not be too much worse than Gao Jian.

Zhang Jiashi knew that if he wanted to win Longwangshu, it was more practical to go south directly from Hanzhong County than to go south from Longxi County.

At least. Zhang Jiashi now did not have the confidence to face the large number of Qiang people south of Di Dao.

Although it is said that Baimaqiang suffered heavy losses in the battle of Yongdu. But Zhang Jiashi knows very well that on his current basis, if he wants to win the Qiang people in the mountains, it is more practical to wash and sleep.

Besides, even if Zhang Jiashi can contact the people of Bashu, in case the other party also has an objection, and inform Gongsun Zao to cut off their retreat. So he really called the heavens and the earth not to be spiritual......

Like this kind of stupid thing, Zhang Jiashi himself said that he would never do anything.

Chen Ping didn't think about a situation, that is, he sent someone to contact the Li family in Shu County, and the two sides attacked Gongsun Zao back and forth together.

In this way, of course, it is possible to understand the attitude of the Li family of Shu County, and once the Li family of Shu County is indeed loyal to Daqin. Then they can also make Gongsun can't do both.

Chen Ping's suggestion made Zhang Jiashi himself very excited, after all, in this case, the price paid is relatively small, and some situations are avoided.

However, this suggestion was refuted by Li Xin: "Where should we go to Shu County? From Di Dao to the south, there are fewer people to go, maybe there will be no return directly in the territory of the Qiang people, and there will be more people." The king might as well send his troops south. If we cross Hanzhong County, how can we get the people of the Li family in Shu County to trust?"

I have to say that in this regard, Li Xin's understanding is indeed much more practical than Chen Ping's idea.

After all, Li Xin still has a much deeper understanding of the situation in this regard than Chen Ping.

After all, as the county magistrate of Fengxian County, Li Xin is still more familiar with the situation in Hanzhong County.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi appointed Li Xin as the guard general of Chencang County, and waited for the opportunity to act, and Chen Ping himself had nothing to refute.

......

This time, Zhang Jiashi led the army south, and after half a month, Zhang Jiashi finally arrived at the area under the jurisdiction of Hanzhong County in the north-central part of Hanzhong County.

Zhang Jiashi looked at several high mountains near Nanzheng County, Hanzhong County, especially Micang Mountain, which is one of the main mountain formations in Nanzheng County, and felt very helpless.

Because Gongsun Zao did not intend to meet them in the area north of the new plank road, but planned to rely on these mountain barriers that had already been built to block his offensive and carry out interspersed attacks.

For example, on the peaks of Mt. Micang and Mt. Dingjun in later generations, you can see a large number of flags and the camps looming under the flags from a distance.

Zhang Jiashi knew very well that the situation he saw was not first-hand information.

At the very least, the lowered heads of Ruan Weng Shao, Yu Ziqi and Lu Ze, who were following him, showed one thing, that is, their several tentative attacks on these camps were unsuccessful.

The other party obviously also discovered that their real purpose was to first eliminate the troops under their command that were used to intersperse, and did not send troops and horses to do such a "stupid thing".

Zhang Jiashi was also helpless in the face of such a situation. But he also doesn't intend to do nothing. At the very least, he had to send someone to make a brief sandtable of the situation between the enemy and us in the vicinity.

If this can't be done, and he wants to count on the maps to be more effective, then forget it.

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

After another three days or so, and at the cost of more than two hundred elite scouts, Zhang Jiashi's sand table finally got up on a more accurate premise.

And after Zhang Jiashi finished the sand table, he did not immediately let all the generals and lieutenants under his command come to discuss the next tactics, but looked at the sand table carefully.

Although some things on this sand table are indeed a little vague, Zhang Jiashi can't deny one thing, that is, the situation in this sand table is very strange.

Follow the arrangement on the sand table. The number of troops under Gongsun Zao was much smaller. According to their prediction before the expedition, that is, even if Gongsun Zao did not have 50,000 people, at least there were more than 35,000 people.

But according to the layout on the sand table, such a situation still made him not know what to say.

"A camp is about two or three thousand people, maybe not even this number of defenders, and the camp around here is not too many, at best about fourteen or five thousand people. Even if there are 5,000 people in Nanzheng County, the other party is about 20,000. Excluding the defenders in some places, the other side is 30,000 people. Where are the other 5,000 to 20,000 people?"

Zhang Jiashi muttered such a sentence.

He didn't think that Gongsun Zao would have such the courage to attack Chencang from the north of the Chencang Ancient Road, and besides, Li Xin was not an ordinary person, so he was naturally comfortable in the face of this kind of attack.

But even if the other party used more than 20,000 people as interspersed attack troops, Zhang Jiashi didn't think that more than 20,000 troops could do anything at best.

Zhang Jiashi shook his head, and instead of continuing to think about such a question, he said to Yu Yong: "Please ask Mr. Li and Mr. Sun to come and discuss." ”

Yu Yong is still a lieutenant now. But he was not unhappy with being in such a position.

After he heard Zhang Jiashi's order, he directly clenched his fists: "Wow!"

......

The tent of Li Zuoche and Sun Po was not far from Zhang Jiashi's tent, and they soon followed Yu Yong to Zhang Jiashi.

Zhang Jiashi told Li Zuoche and Sun Po his doubts, and after pondering separately, the two also thought that Zhang Jiashi's doubts were reasonable, but they couldn't think of anything wrong with this situation.

It was not that they did not expect that the Hanzhong Army would be able to concentrate its forces for intersperse. Then attack one of their troops.

However, they also did not think that Lu Ze's caution had no effect at all. Besides, in this vicinity, especially on the new plank road, there are knights led by Li Shang patrolling, and the other party wants to cut off the grain road. It's also very difficult.

At the very least, it is impossible for the other party to completely wipe out the five thousand knights under the command of Li Shang at once.

So under such a premise, Li Zuoche and Sun Po quickly put such an idea behind them.

After Li Zuoche and Sun Po didn't think about what was going on, Zhang Jiashi could only bury his doubts in his heart.

In fact, it can't be blamed that Li Zuoche and Sun Po can't imagine what kind of situation this is. That was an infantry of about 15,000 men of the Hanzhong Army. Under the leadership of a young man, he went directly to the north from the county mountain west of Nanzheng.

His cousin's previous ambush of the Qin army in Guanzhong was indeed broken by Lu Ze one by one and counterattacked, which made the Hanzhong army pay a lot of price.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have done such a rather risky thing. You know, they can't carry a lot of grain and grass in these long mountains. Once this adventure is seen through by the Qin army in Guanzhong, they will be in danger of being wiped out.

In fact, in such a few days, they did not travel too far, and according to this young man's idea, it would take them three to five days to get back to the vicinity of the Guanzhong Army.

But this young man didn't expect that because Li Shang's knightly troops had discovered some circumstances just before he was ready to attack, so that he had to lead his army back some distance again to avoid being besieged by the Qin army in Guanzhong, otherwise, he might have discovered a fact......

However, this is how fate fools people, and what Meng Wu doesn't know is that the one who raided him and killed him in the chaos was actually Meng Yi's son.

......

In the early morning of January 23, 206 BC, it was decided that one force would take turns to attack one fortification, and the other troops would respond as much as possible, and the Qin army began to attack some of the outer mountain camps of the Hanzhong army.

Although the Qin army's large shield phalanx can effectively bring a certain defensive effect to the arrows shot down from the hillside, in many cases, the bed crossbows or rolling stones and sassal wood shot down from the Hanzhong military camp on the mountain also made the Qin army pay a considerable price.

In particular, there were few places where these peaks could be climbed, and the Qin troops who landed in the city could not exert their superiority in strength.

Yu Ziqi, the commander of the first wave of Qin officers and soldiers, saw that the situation was not right, and had to order his mountaineering troops to retreat as far back as possible.

In this attack, more than 2,000 people under the command of Yu Ziqi paid the price of nearly 500 casualties.

Including the casualties of the firing support troops at the bottom of the mountain, Zhang Jiashi's first official offensive on this outermost mountain peak cost nearly 900 casualties.

However, the Hanzhong army, which guarded the barracks, paid an even more heavy price.

The wooden fence was burned under a large number of rocket fire, and a large number of improved oil bombs thrown by the packing trebuchet burned the officers and soldiers of Hanzhong guarding the barracks to the bitter end.

If it weren't for the fact that the officers and soldiers of this mountain peak quickly saw the opportunity to retreat to the south and retained a certain amount of strength, I am afraid that Yu Ziqi would not have ordered a retreat.

......

However, this battle allowed the Qin officers and soldiers to quickly find an effective way to attack these camps on their own...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
