readx;?? On December 5, 204 BC, this day kicked off Zhang Jiashi's Second Crusade to the East. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info[燃^文^书库][].. [>

Before this, Zhang Jiashi ordered Li Shuang and the commander of the mountain light infantry unit transferred to the east of Shu County, A Mian, to launch a reconquest operation against Ba County.

In the nearly a month of fighting, the troops under Ah Mian and Li Shuang have made good progress.

Most of the counties in the western and southern parts of Ba County were recovered by the Qin army.

However, located in the mountains of Bajun in the north, Zhang Jiashi received news that even the more than 20,000 mountain light infantry troops under the command of Ah Mian could not take advantage of this place.

After receiving this battle report, Zhang Jiashi thought about it for a long time, because he knew that the next battle did not need to pay too much attention to the mountainous area.

He only needs to let Ah Mian and Li Shuang capture Ba County in the east, so that more supplies can move eastward from the area that has been recovered.

However, Zhang Jiashi did not give up taking the aborigines of Ba County who wandered in the mountains lightly. After all, that place can be said to be the home of these indigenous peoples, and in terms of familiarity, even the Miao people who are good at fighting in the mountains may not be comparable to these indigenous people.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi asked Ah Mian to continue to serve as the commander of the defense work in the western and southern regions of Ba County, while Li Shuang joined forces with Tu Sui's general He Zhun, who had previously arrived in the Yixian area and replaced Li Shuang who was responsible for guarding the defense of the material storage area, to attack Ba County and the eastern part of Ba County in Qingsu.

Before Zhang Jiashi sent troops, Ba County had been recovered by Li Shuang, and Zhang Jiashi waited for the results of his battle against Zhang Han before deciding on the next battle plan.

Because Zhang Jiashi knew very well that if he didn't solve Zhang Han, he would not be able to attack Liu Bang with all his might, you must know that if Zhang Han and Liu Bang were really united, this combination would not be so easy to deal with.

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

At the same time as the troops went out of the Wuguan, Hu Yao, the commander of the Jiangshuilou boat corps (the commander of Xiangjun of the southern expedition to the Qin army), led the Jiangshuilou boat corps under his command to carry a large number of southern expeditionary Qin troops to the north.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi did not order these Lou Chuanshi troops of the Southern Expedition to attack Nanjun, but Zhang Jiashi hoped that with the containment of Liu Bang's army by these Southern Expeditionary Qin Army, Liu Bang would not be able to send more troops to support Zhang Han.

And Zhang Jiashi knew very well that the scheming Tu Sui should not make that kind of mistake again, resulting in his defeat again or even really dying.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi was very relieved to let Tu Sui command this time to contain the offensive.

And Tu Sui also knew the significance of Zhang Jiashi's arrangement this time, that is, if there was a chance, then Tu Sui would really turn the containment into a large-scale offensive against Liu Bangjun.

Zhang Jiashi did not put too much pressure or coercive order on Tu Sui in such an aspect. Zhang Jiashi knew very well that Tu Sui's operation did not require him to worry too much about this operation.

......

As the vanguard army, it was Wang Lijun, who was originally stationed near Wuguan.

At the same time, Su Teng, the county guard of Sanchuan County under Zhang Jiashi, will also lead the army south to attack Yingchuan County, making it difficult for Zhang Han to take care of both the beginning and the end.

This kind of combat arrangement, Zhang Jiashi believes that Zhang Han should be caught off guard at the beginning.

After all, whether it is the officers and soldiers under Wang Li's command or the troops under Su Teng's command, in terms of military strength and combat power, they are not comparable to Zhang Han, who was also a great injury last year.

Su Teng, who went south from Sanchuan County, captured more than 20 cities in the north of Yingchuan County in about ten days.

However, Su Teng found a very serious problem, that is, the resistance of these captured cities was quite weak, and he ordered the troops to quickly report this information to Wang Li and Zhang Jiashi while being vigilant about the surrounding situation and resting for two or three days.

When Zhang Jiashi received this information, he couldn't help but show a wry smile, because Wang Li had also sent someone to report that Zhang Han had led the main force to intercept them in the northwest of Nanyang County.

Zhang Jiashi knew that Zhang Han should have judged the main direction of his eastern expedition, because going south from Sanchuan County would undoubtedly require a big detour.

Under such a circumstance, Zhang Han himself did not believe that Zhang Jiashi would choose to go south from Sanchuan County. （)

Of course, Zhang Jiashi knows very well that Zhang Han's arrangement is actually a big risk.

After all, Zhang Han concentrated his forces to block Wuguan Road, so the defensive force in the area of Yingchuan County must be quite empty.

Of course, there may be another possibility that Zhang Han dares to do this, that is, Zhang Han is completely relieved of Liu Bang behind him, and asks Liu Bang to send troops to assist in the defense.

Zhang Jiashi didn't want to believe this kind of thing, but he was not afraid of 10,000, just in case, after thinking for a long time, Zhang Jiashi decided to give an order to support Su Teng in the battle and capture Yingchuan County to another unit that should advance to the south of Sanchuan County.

Zhang Jiashi himself was looking forward to Zhang Han's expression after knowing the commander of this army.

Because the chief and deputy commanders of this unit arranged by Zhang Jiashi are Dong Peng and Sima Xin.

Zhang Jiashi knew very well that these two people hated Zhang Han because of the Battle of Julu a few years ago, and Zhang Jiashi was more assured of their ability, and once they united with Su Teng's army to recover Yingchuan County, then Dong Fei would be the county guard of Yingchuan County, and Sima Xin would become the governor of Yingchuan County, responsible for the military and political affairs of Yingchuan County.

After all, if Yingchuan County is recovered, it will also face pressure from Western Chu, after all, Yingchuan County is bordering Western Chu, and it is impossible for Zhang Jiashi to hand over this area, which is not quite critical, but not unimportant, to some people who are not familiar with military affairs to garrison.

And Dong Peng and Sima Xin have been working together for a long time, and Zhang Jiashi knows that the other party should be very satisfied with the appointment of these two people.

After dealing with these matters, Zhang Jiashi led the main army under his command south to Wuguan to support Wang Li's troops.

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

Zhang Jiashi's army reached the vicinity of Wang Li's army on 24 December.

In this one place, Zhang Jiashi saw the Zhanghan army barracks with a number of no less than 50,000 people.

Unlike the previous year's battle in Sanchuan County, what Zhang Jiashi saw was the camp that Zhang Han had arranged in this area, which could be said to be very strong.

In other words, Zhang Han should have been ready to deal with his offensive a long time ago.

Zhang Jiashi didn't pay too much attention to such a thing, if Zhang Han didn't do anything, it would be a strange thing.

And after Zhang Jiashi came to his camp, Wang Li led the main officers under his command to meet him.

After Zhang Jiashi inquired about the direction of the battle, he asked Wang Li: "If the weather permits, Gu plans to launch an offensive against Zhang Han in two days, what does General Wang think?"

"This move is very good, although the king, Zhang Han did not have a large-scale operation, but the other party should have no way to resist the offensive of our army to make this arrangement. ”

Wang Li's words made Zhang Jiashi nod, he looked at Wang Li, and thought for a while before continuing: "However, I don't want the kind of mistake of last year to happen again, General Wang, in the past two days, I also hope that the scouts of the army under your command will explore the area near the army under Zhang Han as much as possible, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by the enemy." ”

"Whoa!"

The officers of the Qin army, including Wang Li, respectfully hugged their fists and promised.

......

After all the officers had returned, Zhang Jiashi looked at the map in front of him and thought about something.

That is, Zhang Han should not be the kind of person who sits idly by, he knows very well that giving up Yingchuan County will still make him fall into death.

And Su Teng shouldn't let Zhang Han have room for conspiracy, he shouldn't give up Yingchuan County completely so easily.

However, what is the intention of the other party to concentrate the main military forces under their command in this place?

Liu?

It is unlikely, because Tu Sui's diversionary offensive should be quite effective, and Liu Bang should be powerless even if he wants to support Zhang Han.

Wei Bao?

This is even more impossible, because Wei Bao's current strength is difficult to even protect himself, once he divides his troops to support Zhang Han, then the army under Zang Tu is not vegetarian.

Xiang Yu......

Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but ponder.

Whether Xiang Yu has this reason to support Zhang Han, Zhang Jiashi doesn't know, but Zhang Jiashi knows very well that as long as Xiang Yu has Fan Zeng by his side, it is very possible to support Zhang Han.

Because Fan Zeng should be very aware of the truth that his lips are cold and his teeth are dead.

But Zhang Jiashi would not give up his attack on Yingchuan County because of this.

After all, Zhang Jiashi will not let Zhang Han live longer again. But the situation on Xichu's side really made him have to guard against it. After all, if Xichu sent troops to support, even if Su Teng, Dong Fei and Sima Xin didn't suffer any losses, I'm afraid ...... It is very difficult to recover Yingchuan County.

Isn't it time for Han Shin to take action?

Zhang Jiashi's idea was a little uncertain, because Han Xin, a chess piece, could not be easily mobilized.

......

Han Xin now led an army of 30,000 troops to garrison the Zhongmu area, and Zhang Jiashi gave him the order to act with a camera.

If Xi Chu really fully supported Zhang Han, then he would take the opportunity to burn Peng Cheng to the ground.

Although there is still a Dangjun or Sichuan County between Sanchuan County and Pengcheng, Zhang Jiashi has great confidence in Han Xin.

And if Zhang Jiashi mobilizes Han Xin's subordinates to go south, then it should be impossible for Zhang Jiashi to take Xiang Yu's lair.

However, Zhang Jiashi didn't think about how much his arrangement jumped, that is, Han Xin's 30,000 army wanted to defeat Wei Bao without arousing Xiang Yu's vigilance, which was impossible.

Moreover, there is no such thing as the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal now, and the Lou Boat Sergeant Army, which he is proud of, will not be useful at all.

In such a situation, even if Zhang Jiashi wanted to raid Pengcheng and believed in Han Xin's ability, it was a question whether Han Xin could escape with his whole body.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi changed his arrangement for Han Xin, and instead sent a team of knights along the path in the northern area of Nanyang County to Sanchuan County, and informed Han Xin to lead his army south.

Zhang Jiashi didn't expect that it was because of his change of mind that he saved Dong Fei and Sima Xin, because the opponent's army was besieged by Long Ji's troops because it was too aggressive.

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

A few days later, Zhang Jiashi, Wang Li and others decided to launch an offensive against Zhang Han's camp.

Zhang Han seemed indifferent to the urgency of Zhang Jiashi's army, and continued to be a turtle with a shrunken head.

But Zhang Jiashi's strange thing is that Zhang Han should not be so calm this time, after all, Zhang Jiashi sent a large number of scouts this time, and reconnoitred the ten-mile area near Zhang Han's camp in more detail, and did not find an area that could hide a large number of troops.

Zhang Jiashi looked at the Zhang Han military camp in the distance, and asked his military advisor Sun Po in confusion: "Mr. Sun, do you think Zhang Han will send reinforcements in the camp?"

Sun Po couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard Zhang Jiashi's words, but after he came back to his senses, he shook his head gently: "Back to the king, this matter should be unlikely, after all, the size of this place is not to mention, even if Zhang Han can hide more than 50,000 people, that is, twice the number of troops, so what?" Zhang Han should not have so much grain to support consumption, and it is indeed possible for the Chu State and Liu Bangjun to support Zhang Han, but this kind of army transfer, the prime minister's intelligence officers did not find the signs, it should be unlikely. ”

Sun Po's words made Zhang Jiashi nod. After all, what Sun Po said is quite reasonable, that is, even if Zhang Han has this strength, but Zhang Han does not have that confidence in many things, after all, the food consumption of 50,000 troops is also a very huge number. And Yingchuan County and the northern area of Nanyang County, which have been plagued by war, obviously have no foundation to support Zhang Han to come again.

In such a situation, Zhang Jiashi himself knew very well what he should do next.

......

Zhang Jiashi's offensive arrangement of Zhanghan's army this time was arranged into five battle formations, three of which were mainly attacking the north of Zhanghan's camp, while the other two were serving as reserve troops.

To this end, Zhang Jiashi mobilized all kinds of engineering equipment that he had built in such a year, especially the kind of packing trebuchet.

Zhang Jiashi's order to the commander of nearly a hundred packing trebuchets was that there was no need to be too concerned about casualties.

Because of the northern area of Nanyang County, many places have long been turned into no man's land.

After all, the military disaster suffered by Nanyang County is no less than that of Sanchuan County, a place of a hundred battles, and after the violent conquest of Liu Bang, Shen Yang, Zhang Han and others, Nanyang County has never had the opportunity to recuperate, in such a situation, even if Nanyang County has a certain population to survive, it is impossible.

And because of such an order from Zhang Jiashi, the officers and soldiers who packed the trebuchets naturally called to the officers and soldiers responsible for transporting the oil bombs to transport the oil bombs as much as possible.

......

At nearly nine o'clock, with the orders of the chief who operated the trebuchet one by one, more and more oil bombs were thrown into Zhang Han's camp.

Seeing Zhang Jiashi in the distance in mid-air, after these oil bombs exploded one after another, they fell into Zhang Han's camp, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Han was also looking at the Great Qin army outside the city from one of the walls of the camp.

"Your Majesty, what is falling from the sky?"

One of the generals under Zhang Han couldn't help but look at the more and more fireballs in the sky in confusion.

And Zhang Han was nervous, that is, he didn't expect Zhang Jiashi to have such a sharp weapon.

And because these oil bombs basically do not hit the stone wall or even the aisle outside Zhang Han's camp, Zhang Han will not know the horror of these oil bombs for a while.

The damage caused by the first wave of oil bombs was not too great, but it set some tents on fire one after another.

However, as more and more oil bombs fell, Zhang Han finally knew the horror of these oil bombs.

That is, after some unignited oil cans collided and shattered on the ground, the viscous crude oil inside was quickly ignited, becoming a fire area that continued to burn for a long time.

The reason why these crude oils are sticky is actually that Zhang Jiashi uses the technology of the monks to process these crude oils into special poisonous oil.

Once this crude oil is burned, some of the sulfide gases can directly damage the human body.

Therefore, these oil bombs caused many officers and soldiers of Zhang Han who were evading to gradually be poisoned and suffocated in the thick smoke, and then died in the increasingly dense smoke.

That's the best part of this oil bomb.

Of course, Zhang Han himself did not expect that it was precisely because he planned to use the barrier to block the offensive of the army under Zhang Jiashi that this scene would occur.

Because in the wilderness, Zhang Jiashi would not choose to use these oil bombs in large numbers to fight. And Zhang Jiashi himself knows very well that this kind of packing trebuchet is difficult to arrange without interference in the case of field warfare.

If a rain of arrows falls, many officers and soldiers who build these trebuchets will pay the price of casualties. Such a situation, Zhang Jiashi naturally does not want to see it.

And the most difficult thing for Zhang Han to accept is that because of more and more fire areas and thick smoke, he actually lost contact with the troops behind him.

"Hurry up and get people to put out the fire!!"

Zhang Han roared angrily.

And some officers and soldiers of Zhang Han, who are not afraid of death, have indeed done this, but for their practice of not being afraid of death, it is a very stupid thing to use water to extinguish the oil flame, and this kind of oil is a very thick semi-solid oil, and using water to extinguish the fire is a foolish arrangement.

This is because the oil that ignites the fire will burn more and more with more and more water.

It can be said that Zhang Jiashi's use of these oil bombs is completely a matter of losing his conscience in a sense.

But don't forget, this is a war, and Zhang Jiashi is certainly reluctant to do it, but in order to achieve victory, Zhang Jiashi naturally won't mind using this really vicious weapon.

And Zhang Jiashi muttered a sentence after seeing the increasingly thick black smoke of Zhang Han's camp:

"There are only two kinds of people in war, one is the living and the other is dead, that's all......"
