readx;?? This time, Chen Heng and Li Zuoche directly let the transport team transfer from the straight road to the road to Hangu Pass, which was actually Li Zuoche's own idea. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info [on the above than ^^ odd ^^ in ^^ text ^^ net]

But Chen Ping knows this.

When Li Zuoche turned the team, he asked one of his personal soldiers to convey a letter to Chen Ping.

He didn't think that Chen Ping couldn't see the significance of his actions, after all, his unit might not be able to play any role, but no matter what, the materials they transported were only mobilized by Zhang Jiashi a few months ago to meet the needs of the operation.

What Li Zuoche and Chen Heng didn't expect was that their arrival had largely changed some of the disadvantages of the Hangu Pass defenders.

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

The battle above Hangu Pass gradually turned into a melee, and the Qin officers and soldiers had to retreat because of the long combat time and considerable physical exertion.

But their casualties were much smaller than those of the coalition officers and soldiers who besieged the city.

Because the officers and soldiers of the coalition fought on the city wall, they not only needed to face the Qin officers and soldiers who were fighting with them, but also needed to guard against a ** arrow shot from behind.

This is not to say that Xiang Yu is inhuman to such a point that he ordered his crossbowmen to attack indiscriminately, but that the crossbowmen of the other section of the coalition army were difficult to carry out effective counterattacks in the face of the high-angle projectiles of the Qin army, and even injured their own allies by mistake.

Han Xin's gambling tactical arrangement was a good grasp of the weaknesses of the coalition officers and soldiers.

Although the gap in the equipment level of the coalition officers and soldiers has been made up for a lot because they have received a large amount of Qin-style equipment, the difference between the elite and the rabble is far from being irreparable by the comparison between this kind of equipment.

Many of the officers and soldiers of the coalition did not even die under the weapons of the Qin army, but died in the blades of friendly forces, which can not be said to be a tragedy.

......

Fan Zeng soon found out about such a situation, and he was eager to see what was going on.

Xiang Yu didn't say anything about Fan Zeng's idea, and even sent Xiang Zhuang to lead a force to escort Fan Zeng to the front line. It's just that sometimes, the battlefield is not something you can just go to.

Especially in the area where there was already a sea of people, and a large number of coalition officers and soldiers were piled up under the city of Hangu Pass, such a Chu army in Xiangzhuang could not get too far ahead.

However, this is not a bad thing for the Chu army, because the range of the arrows thrown by the Qin army is still quite limited.

This means that Xiang Zhuang's Chu army does not have to worry too much about Fan Zeng encountering an accident, and they will be scolded by Xiang Yu.

Despite this, Fan Zeng, who couldn't get too close to the front line, found a situation that frightened him very much.

That was the corpses of many coalition officers and soldiers, the degree of decomposition was quite serious, not only that, but he could even see some coalition officers and soldiers who were rushing forward to fight, obviously sick.

He let go of the hand holding the handkerchief and covering his nose, and then said to Xiang Zhuang: "Let's go immediately! I have something to say to Ji'er!"

Although Fan Zeng is not a medical worker, he has lived for decades, and Fan Zeng can still think of how bad such a situation is.

Although Xiang Zhuang didn't know why Fan Zeng chose to leave at such a time, he didn't have any ideas. After all, for him, he also wanted to leave this place that made him very uncomfortable for a long time.

......

After Fan Zeng returned to the camp of the Chu army, he did not immediately return to the camp where Xiang Yu was, but first took a look at some of the camp tents of the Chu army.

When he walked into a camp tent, he saw some Chu officers and soldiers lying on the ground quite weakly, and a sense of foreboding suddenly appeared in his heart.

Then he went into several camps, and when he found that the situation was almost the same, he knew very well that the outbreak of the epidemic was already beginning in the army.

Such a situation has a very huge impact on the morale and combat effectiveness of the officers and men in the army. Especially once such a situation is really worsened, then how many people in the entire Chu army camp will be able to leave this hell alive, only God knows.

Soon, Fan Zeng walked out of the camp tent and said to Xiang Zhuang with a gloomy face: "Send all the sick officers and soldiers away!"

Xiang Zhuang didn't quite understand why Fan Zeng's expression had become like this, nor did he understand why Fan Zeng had given this order, but he quickly made arrangements in this regard in accordance with Fan Zeng's order.

Fan Zeng didn't know that he had done something wrong, that is, in an area like this that had clearly begun to evolve into a sign of a large-scale epidemic, it was best to quarantine it as soon as possible. This is because the personnel sent to contact the sick person, even if there is nothing wrong with them, there is no guarantee that these people will become a new source of infection.

What Fan Zeng didn't expect was that he himself was recruited.

If it weren't for the fact that his life should not have been extinguished, and Xiang Yu still attached more importance to him, and sent personnel to find some medical workers to treat him, I am afraid that his old bones might be buried outside Rongyang City forever.

But in any case, it was too late for Fan Zeng to find out about this situation. Because he didn't know that during the onslaught of the past few days, most of the people who survived were basically infected with the source of the disease.

And such a situation has become the most important reason why Xiang Yu is not a fiasco under Hangu Pass.

......

After Fan Zeng saw Xiang Yu, the first thing he said was to say what he observed: "Ji'er, let's stop the offensive, retreat to Rongyang, Xu Tu will plan later." “

"Father, why? Qin Gou can't resist the attack of our army, as long as we work harder, we can break through Hangu Pass, and everything will be better. ”

Xiang Yu heard Fan Zeng's advice, although he was not angry, he obviously didn't take Fan Zeng's words very seriously.

Fan Zeng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Xiang Yu's words, he was actually very clear about Xiang Yu's ambition in his heart.

In fact, he knew very well that not only Xiang Yu, but even Xiang Liang and Xiang Yan had their own ambitions, that is, to stand on behalf of Chu.

After the death of King Huai of Chu in the Qin State, the influence and control of the next monarchs of the Chu State over the domestic clans became weaker and weaker.

Especially after the death of King Chu Qingxiang, not long after Li Yuan took control of the government, he was killed by the younger brother of King Chu Qingxiang, and the family led by Xiang Yan, who was dissatisfied with this situation, was killed.

At the same time, it was King Chu You and Empress Dowager Li Yan who were killed at the same time.

In such a situation, although he became the new king of Chu, his influence on the Chu family was negligible.

And Xiang Yan relied on the military power in his hands to become the new minister.

After that, the battle of the Qin State to destroy the Six Kingdoms, although Xiang Yan showed loyalty to the Chu royal family, the power in the hands of Chang Wenjun was basically completely hollowed out.

And this Chu Huai King Xiongxin's situation is even worse, because apart from such a throne, he has not gained any practical benefits.

This is a puppet in itself for the king of a country.

In this world, Xiang Liang and Song Yi were defeated and killed at the same time after the battle of Dingtao, which can be regarded as a buffer situation between the clan forces led by Xiang Yu and some so-called lords who have no strength themselves, but only rely on the power of King Chu Huai to obtain rights.

Because Song Yi himself can be regarded as the leader of this faction of ministers.

Whether a powerful minister is ambitious or not, his favorite is the kind of obedient puppet monarch, after losing the pillar of Song Yi, King Xiong Xin of Chu Huai can't do more.

This is also the reason why the relationship between Xiang Yu and Chu Huai Wang Xiong Xin is not too rigid in this world.

But this does not mean that Xiong Xin made such a covenant as "the king of the first to enter the customs", which is sincere. It's that he simply doesn't have the ability to control the situation.

In terms of military power, the military power he has in hand, not to mention commanding the army, even the guards around him, I'm afraid Xiong Xin can't mobilize it.

On financial resources...... Maybe a little money or something, Xiong Xin and the people who follow him can indeed get it, but what can this money do?

In terms of influence, he is more of a puppet like the King of Chu, even if Xiong Xin is ambitious, what can he do? Besides, I am afraid that few of the civilians of the current Chu State know what the current surname of King Chu Huai is......

Fan Zeng understands very well that in such a situation, Xiang Yu's intention to stand on behalf of Chu is understandable.

And if he wants to do this, what Xiang Yu lacks is nothing more than some fame and prestige.

Once he can break through Hangu Pass, then next, he who attacks Xianyang will naturally not lack such a thing anymore.

At that time, he was the real king.

Therefore, Fan Zeng knew that it was obviously impossible for him to let Xiang Yu "stop" at such a point.

He could only sigh and leave the tent in silence.

What Fan Zeng didn't know was that at such a time, he should resolutely advise Xiang Yu instead of compromising on such a matter.

Because he chose such a situation, he made such a result even worse.

Fan Zeng really wanted to do something by himself, but after half a day, Fan Zeng finally fell to the ground after a sudden feeling of powerlessness.

He felt like he had been dreaming for a long time, and when he woke up, he found that he was already in Rongyang City.

When he learned that there were less than 100,000 officers and soldiers who had retreated at Hangu Pass, he couldn't help but close his eyes and weep......

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

"Ah!!h

A Qin commander of the Northern Frontier Legion was cut off by a Chu saber and shield soldier, but he did not die, but he heard a scream from the other party.

What he saw was that a young heavy infantry of the Liaodong Army, with the kind of long knife that he also wanted to be able to use, directly cut off the opponent's head.

He thought of saying thank you, but before he could say this, what he saw was that several spear blades pierced the opponent's armor directly.

And this heavy infantry of the Liaodong Army did not wait for death like this, but directly stabbed the long knife in his hand into the neck of a Chu army chief......

In the end, after the other Qin officers and soldiers pushed the coalition officers and soldiers back to the east again, the officers and men of the Northern Frontier Army and the young heavy infantry were already dead......

The Hangu Pass was full of shouts of killing, the sound of swords and soldiers encountering each other, and even the screams, while on the ground, there were a large number of corpses of officers and soldiers on both sides.

Han Xin wanted to maintain the formation, and then use his equipment advantage to fight the allied officers and soldiers.

But Han Xin miscalculated this. That is, there is no shortage of cannon fodder among the officers and soldiers of the coalition forces, and even some peasants who do not even have metal weapons are driven to the battlefield by them.

The combat effectiveness of these people was naturally negligible, but the Qin officers and soldiers in the battle could not completely ignore the existence of these enemies.

As soon as they were distracted from attacking these enemies, other coalition officers and soldiers, who were more sophisticated in their weapons, would attack them in droves.

In such a situation, no matter how high the combat effectiveness of a Qin officer and soldier is, it is difficult to have the strength to parry.

And this point has also become the reason why Han Xin's plan had to be declared a failure.

The superiority of the officers and men of Liaodong is not the combat effectiveness of individuals, but the overall offensive and defensive forces between collectives.

In terms of individual combat effectiveness, although the officers and men of Liaodong are not bad, in the case of a melee, this advantage is more directly overwhelmed by the opponent's superiority in troops.

This is also the reason why the group of reinforcements commanded by Han Shin and the defenders who were originally stationed at Hangu Pass have suffered a rapid increase in casualties.

If Nguyen Weng Thieu had not led 6,000 infantry to come to support in time, I am afraid that the remnants of Han Shin would have been driven down by the enemy at Hangu Pass.

......

Ruan Weng Shao, as one of the fierce generals under Zhang Jiashi, his personal combat effectiveness is naturally extraordinary.

After climbing the city wall, seeing such a chaotic situation, Ruan Weng Shao did not intend to blame Han Xin and Zhuang Guang, who no longer knew where to fight, but directly followed behind the officers and soldiers under his command and rushed into the chaotic occupation.

Holding the nameless sword he had obtained from Qilian Mountain, Ruan Weng Shao rushed into the battle and cut off the three Chu officers and soldiers with one move.

After many coalition officers and soldiers saw the kind of high-ranking Qin army officer armor on Ruan Weng Shao's body, they knew that Ruan Weng Shao was a big fish.

So many of them gave up looking for trouble with other Qin officers and soldiers who were already exhausted and just continued to fight with their will, and pounced directly on Ruan Weng Shao.

Ruan Weng Shao saw this situation, and did not panic much, but calmly raised his hand, and then directly waved the nameless sword in his hand to the officers and soldiers on the other side.

In less than half a minute, more than 30 officers and soldiers of the coalition army fell under the sword of Nguyen Ong Thieu.

But Nguyen Weng Shao did not stop, but looked at the coalition officers and soldiers who had taken a few steps back, and showed a contemptuous smile.

After all, Ruan Weng Shao also has his own pride, as long as he doesn't meet someone he can't start, or a pervert he really can't beat, he is fearless.

Obviously, this kind of pervert is not in this place for the time being, or the other party has no intention of coming to such a foul-smelling ghost place at all. In this case, what is there to be afraid of Nguyen Weng Shao.

He gently pulled a sword flower in his hand, and then walked forward again......

......

The first batch of Qin officers and soldiers either died on the wall of Hangu Pass, or they dragged their weak and weak bodies and slowly retreated, they had done their best, but they could not do that kind of Han Xin's unrealistic idea.

Because they can fight against two or three people, or even five, but they can fight against seven or eight people, or even more, so the answer is naturally no.

Many of their robes were killed under the siege of the other side, which was the consequence of the collapse of the army.

There may have been a lot of people who had killed a lot of enemies, but what could be done? How many of them, the valiant robes, would survive, wait for friendly reinforcements, and then retreat to the rear to rest and recuperate?

Many people shook their heads silently and gently in relative safety, under the cover of some shields in their hands and a dozen arrows or more shield robes......

......

And to the west of Hangu Pass, Huan Feng didn't know how he should feel after knowing such a situation, because he didn't expect Han Xin to be so bold.

If it weren't for Nguyen Ong Thao's reinforcements arriving in time, I'm afraid that Hangu Pass might not be long before it was declared lost.

In such a situation, it is not bad that Huan Feng did not immediately trouble Han Xin.

And Huan Feng and the others knew very well that Han Xin had a reason to do this, but the situation in Hangu Pass was different from other places, once the walls of Hangu Pass were completely lost, then they could only fight with the Chu army on the plain west of Hangu Pass. This situation is impossible for their troops, who have lost too many troops.

"General, didn't the reinforcements from Xianyang come?

It was a lieutenant under Huan Feng who said such a sentence, and he was also quite heroic in the previous battle.

And after hearing this, Huan Feng shook his head: "The king led the knight troops to raid Aocang in Sanchuan County, and it was obviously successful. It's no wonder that the king is doing this, but you have to be cautious. ”

After this lieutenant heard Huan Feng's words, he realized that it was not appropriate for him to say this.

He hurriedly clenched his fists at Huan Feng: "General Xie instructs." ”

Huan Feng nodded, and sighed softly: "The current situation is not the fault of the king, nor is it our sin, but unfortunately, if Hangu Pass is lost, what will Qinchuan look like for eight hundred miles?"

Huan Feng knew very well that once Hangu Pass was really lost, then there would be almost no soldiers to fight in the entire pass, because even the Liaodong Army would either be exhausted, or like them, it would suffer heavy losses.

If you still stick to Guanzhong in such a situation, I am afraid that in the end, you will not be able to change anything, and the last trace of vitality of the Great Qin Empire will really be lost.

Huan Feng silently looked at the sky, and silently thought in his heart: "Your Majesty, Fusu, if you are blessed by the spirit of heaven, please let the king and Daqin get through this crisis." ”
