Chapter 167: Fan Zeng cut off the grain road overnight

Zhang Er saw the Great Wall army frantically attacking the city at the head of the city, and the city was about to fall, but just when he was desperate, he suddenly heard the Qin army blowing the order to withdraw. Zhang Er was surprised, only to see that the Qin army withdrew to the barracks after a while, and he didn't know what the reason was. At this time, King Zhao rushed to hear the news, and he also felt incredible when he saw that the Qin army suddenly stopped attacking the city. Until noon, Chen Yu shot an arrow book, saying that Xiang Yu, the general of Chu State, not only defeated Zhang Han today, but also defeated Wang Li, and Wang Li has now hung up the war-free card. When Zhang Er received the good news, he faced south, knelt down on the head of the city, and shouted: "God, God! Zhao Guo has been saved, and finally saved! With that, he began to weep bitterly.

When King Zhao heard that Xiang Yu had defeated the Qin army, he was overjoyed and said to Zhang Er: "I was very worried at first that the Chu army would be scared when he saw the Qin army, but who would have thought that Xiang Yu was so powerful that he could defeat the two generals of the Qin State, this is simply the god of war!" God will not destroy my Zhao country, we have been saved! After all, he was so excited that he burst into tears. The news quickly spread throughout the city, and the soldiers and civilians were greatly encouraged. The people happily walked out of their homes and came to the streets to talk about Xiang Yu excitedly, saying that he was brave and good at fighting, worthy of being the grandson of Xiang Yan, the pride of the people of Chu, and the savior of the six countries of Shandong.

Originally, the Zhao army's fear of the Qin army has a long history: as far back as 53 years ago, in the Battle of Changping, the Qin army buried 400,000 Zhao troops alive, although half a century has passed, people still remember this incident vividly; In the battle of Handan, which unified the six countries of Qin, the generals of Qin, Wang Qian, Qiang, Yang Duan and the Third Route Army besieged Handan, the capital of Zhao, and they could not defeat Li Mu, the famous general of Zhao, so they framed Li Mu with a despicable divisive scheme, and after the stupid pig Zhao Wangqian killed Li Mu, the Qin army was able to break the Zhao army and destroy Zhao. Now Wang Li led the Qin army to surround Julu, and in the past three months, the Zhao army has resisted desperately, and they all know very well: once the Qin army breaks through the city, the consequences can be imagined. Therefore, when the people of Zhao see that the Qin army has been defeated, they are not only thanking Xiang Yu, but thanking God for saving them. Therefore, people have strengthened their determination to resist Qin, and even some strong women have unconsciously walked to the city at this time to help the soldiers defend the city.

After some catharsis of crying and wiping tears, Zhang Er saw that the enthusiasm of people to defend the city was very high, so he invited King Zhao to patrol the city together to comfort the injured soldiers. After the tour of the city was completed, the two monarchs and ministers came to the palace and sat down. King Zhao said to Zhang Er: "Although the Chu army has won now, Ke Gu is still a little worried. Zhang Er asked what he was worried about. King Zhao said: "I am afraid that Wang Li and Zhang Han will join forces to deal with the Chu army. Zhang Er replied firmly: "Even if the two of them join forces, the Qin army will not be able to defeat the Chu army this time!" King Zhao asked him why he was so sure. Zhang Er said: "I heard that 'those who are generals will be defeated when they reach the third generation'. remembered that when Qin destroyed Chu in the past, Xiang Yan led hundreds of thousands of Chu troops to fight against Wang Qian, and was finally defeated by Wang Qian. Now Xiang Yu has come to face off against Wang Li again, Wang Li happens to be the third generation of generals, so he will be defeated. This is also the fulfillment of the words of the ancients! King Zhao listened to Zhang Er's analysis, and although he felt reasonable, he was still worried that the Chu army would not be able to defeat the Qin army.

Xiang Yu challenged several times before the battle, and when he saw that Wang Li refused to fight, he said to the generals: "Wang Li has become a turtle with a shrunken head, what should I do?" Zhong Li said: "Although the general and Wang Li have a common enmity, they can't be too anxious. Today's facts show that he is not your opponent at all, and now the general should tell Yafu the news of his victory as soon as possible, and see if he has any good way to win by surprise? Chen Yu also said: "General Zhongli is reasonable. While they were talking, a sergeant suddenly came running to report that the Chinese army's handsome flagpole had been blown off by the wind. Xiang Yu and everyone came to the Chinese army to inspect, and sure enough, they saw that the flagpole was broken and the flag was drooping, but the sky was calm, so they thought it was a bad omen. Zhong Li said: "Fan Yafu is well-informed, the general still sends someone to ask him?" Xiang Yu immediately sent a cavalry general and asked him to ask Yafu to see if the flagpole was broken.

And the horsemen beat their horses and came to the camp of the father of the Thorn Plains. When Yafu listened to the report of the cavalry general, he smiled and said: "The general is stubborn and stubborn, and there is no way to crusade, how can it be ominous?" Today, he was on the verge of battle and defeated Wang Li, which is simply the luck of the Chu State and the world! The flagpole of the Chinese army was suddenly broken, as the saying goes, 'if you don't move, there will be ambush, and if you move, your disaster will be quick'. I conclude that tonight the king will come and rob the general's camp. Now go back and tell the general, please be cautious, and never repeat the mistakes of Wu Xinjun. Then the rider said goodbye to his father, and immediately returned to the great deer.

Yafu sent away the horseman, and asked Chen Ping to open the topographic map of the giant deer and take a closer look. At this moment, Han Xin walked in and reported: "General Fan, the crash has been completely built, please go and check." When Yafu heard that the crash had been built, he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, now that the general and Wang Li are fighting in Julu, we can take this opportunity to cut off the enemy's grain route overnight, and the Great Wall army will be in chaos." He came to the back camp with Chen Ping and Han Xin, and saw twenty tall and sturdy crash cars placed there, like a solid barrier. Immediately the father sent a message to Yingbu and Pu to get ready, and he was to go to the grain road himself.

He ordered a group of fifty soldiers to push a cart, a total of a thousand sergeants, and the infantry followed. He also asked Chen Ping, Zhaoping, and Zhu Jian to stick to the camp, Heng Chu and Yu Ying pressed the corner, and set off with only Han Xin by his side. They came to a place not far from the road and stopped to observe. By this time it was already dark. Han Xin suggested that Fan Zeng choose a slope that could make full use of the inertial impact, and Yafu chose a good place according to Han Xin's words. Then swing the crash car out of the way, and point straight ahead to the road.

When everything was ready, Yafu ordered the sergeants to light torches to light the way, and asked Yingbu and Pu to lead a group of soldiers and horses to escort on both flanks to block the harassment of the Qin army, and then go to the battlefield to direct the crash against the wall. When they received the order, they mounted their horses, each carrying a sword with a silver sheath and a golden handle, and they both held a shield in their left hand and a long weapon in their right, and their broad shoulders and well-developed muscles, coupled with a beautiful pair of armor, were as formidable as gods. Yafu was calm and calm, looked at the road in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the time has come to make meritorious contributions!" We must destroy the enemy's grain transportation routes, so that the Great Wall Army will never be able to eat food. Advance! Twenty tall and sturdy cars rumbled, and the great wooden wheels kicked up dust as they ran over the earth.

The Qin army, which was guarding Yongdao, found that the Chu army was attacking at this time, and hurriedly mobilized crossbowmen to block it. But when they saw the big guy in front of them, they were so frightened that they were crying and crying for their mother, because there were thick shields before each crash, which strictly blocked the arrows shot by the Qin army. The collision was getting closer and closer, and when Qin Jun saw the scene in front of him, many sergeants jumped over the wall in panic and fled for their lives. The force of the crash was really great, and when the log in front of the car hit the wall of the roadway, it collapsed along with the wall. For a while, the dust was heavy, the roar continued, and the corridor was knocked down by a large section, and the vehicles, people and animals inside were all crushed underneath. Yafu ordered the sergeant to turn the car in a different direction and push it to another place to continue the collision, and the road collapsed one after another. The Chu army entered the interior of the Yongdao, pursued the Qin army at both ends, and finally blocked the Yongdao with bricks, stones, utensils, etc., so that the Qin army's grain transportation channel was completely paralyzed. After the Chu army destroyed the Yongdao, they laid the crashed car on a flat ground on the periphery, forming a strong barrier, and the Chu army was protected inside, ready to continue the battle with the Qin army who came to patrol.

The Chu army had just set up the camp when it suddenly reported that two Qin armies were coming from the north and south directions. Ying Bu said: "This must be the patrol soldiers and horses sent by Zhang Han and Wang Li at the same time. So he and the general Pu went out of camp to resist the enemy, and one of them went north, and the other went south. General Pu came south, and a member of the Qin generals flew in and shouted: "I am Song Wan, the grain officer sent by General Zhang." You nameless rat, how dare you cut off my food and eat my spear! Then he slapped his horse forward, raised his spear and stabbed it. General Pu greeted each other, and the two fought for more than a dozen rounds, and Song Wan was defeated. After chasing and killing for a while, Pu came back and happened to meet Yingbu. Yingbu also said: "Wang Li sent Deng Mao to come, but he was also killed and retreated by me. So they came to the camp. Yafu greeted him: "Wang Li and Zhang Han know that Yongdao has been destroyed, and they will definitely send troops, the two of you must be prepared, there will inevitably be a big fight." After saying that, he asked Han Xin to stay and help the chariot battalion, and he quickly transported a little intercepted grain back to the barracks.

Wang Li planned a night attack with the generals in the camp, full of confidence, and said to the generals after dark: "Tonight's night attack is very important, if you don't kill Xiang Yu, things will be difficult to do." "Let Su Jiao and Meng Fang lead 10,000 troops on the left, Shema and Han Zhang lead 10,000 troops on the right, and I, Li Yu and Zhou Xiong lead 10,000 soldiers to attack from the front. Each team also prepared hundreds of strong crossbow shooters. Everything was arranged, let the royal officials guard the camp, and the three-way army and horses were ranked, and Malekou quietly went out of the camp gate and went straight to Xiang Yu's camp.

When Wang Li came to the gate of the Chu army's camp, he saw that it was brightly lit, so he directly drove his troops in, and then rushed to attack the Chinese army, and the men and horses poured into the Chu camp like a flood of beasts. But when they came to the front of the Chinese army, they found that the Chu army with halberds was not moving, Wang Li was very puzzled, and he stabbed with weapons in front of him, only to find that they were all scarecrows. Wang Li was shocked, and at this time, Su Jiao and Shima also killed together, and hurriedly shouted: "This is an empty camp, we have been tricked, quickly withdraw!" Before the words fell, I saw a loud drum sound on all sides, and the torches were bright, and then the Chu army killed from all directions like a tide, and they shouted in unison to kill, surrounding the Qin army. Wang Li was dumbfounded, so he had to order a desperate battle......

Wang Li was going to attack Chu Ying, but he didn't expect Xiang Yu to be prepared. At this time, when the Chu army saw the Qin army breaking in, they surrounded it from all sides and exterminated it. For a while, all kinds of noise on the battlefield came and went, the fighting scene was shocking, everyone was the guy and slashing the opponent frantically, the crazy sound was intertwined with each other and shook every corner, and at the same time, the ruthless death also took away those resolute and fresh lives one after another.

Wang Lizheng was killing hard, and suddenly Xiang Yu was killing head-on, and he shouted: "Wang Li, how dare you attack at night?" Come and die! When Wang Li saw that Xiang Yu had attacked, he rose up to fight with great might. After the two fought fiercely for more than fifty years, Wang Li knew that he couldn't fight Xiang Yu, so he turned around and fled. Xiang Yu pestered him to the death, and chased him all the way to the gate of the Qin army's camp. Su Jiao and Shima saw the coach's crisis from behind, so they hurried up to stop Xiang Yu. Wang Licai ran into the camp. Xiang Yu fought with the second general, killed for a while, and the second general was defeated and fled. At this time, Xiang Yu was about to attack the camp of the Qin army, and suddenly saw Wang Li kill again, so he hit his horse and chased after Wang Li. But the strange thing is that Wang Li did not stop fighting, but fled to the southwest. Xiang Yu was very happy, and thought: No matter where he runs, he must catch up with him. He hit the horse to chase after him, and the black horse ran fast, chased four or five miles in one breath, and caught up, shouting: "Take your life!" He picked Wang Li under the horse with a halberd from behind, and then hooked Wang Li with a halberd and walked back.

Xiang Yu was very happy at this time, thinking that he would kill Wang Li this time and go back to let the Qin army take a look, maybe they would all surrender. When he returned to the battlefield, he asked the sergeants to bring torches to carefully identify them, only to find out that the general he had captured was not Wang Li. The general was still alive, and Wang Li roared angrily: "Who are you? Where is Wang Li? The general said hatefully: "I am Wang Jun, the brother of General Wang." My boss was afraid that you would kick the camp, so let me put on his armor and helmet to lure you away, hum! You've been fooled, hehe! Xiang Yu was furious and killed Wang Jun. Then get on the horse and continue to fight, he stabbed the generals along the way, and picked every soldier, only to kill the Qin army ghosts crying wolves and fleeing in embarrassment. Xiang Yu fought until dawn, and the Chu army won a complete victory, and then Song Kai returned to the camp.

After Wang Li fled back to the barracks, he ordered the Qin army to hold the camp. After dawn, the generals of the Qin State returned one after another. Wang Li ordered someone to count the number of people, and at this time he found that the Qin army had suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and he was very sad. Suddenly, I heard that the Chu army had sent Wang Jun's body back. Wang Li was surprised, so he came out to inspect the situation. Sure enough, I saw five or six Chu soldiers pushing Wang Jun's body in a cart and sending it to the gate of the camp. When Chu Jun saw Wang Li, he said: "My general admires Wang Jun for being a man who can sacrifice himself at a critical juncture to protect the commander and the military camp, and this hero who takes care of the overall situation should be respected." My general also said that when he and you meet on the battlefield in the future, I hope the general will not run so fast! Wang Li listened to Chu Jun's words, his heart was sad and ashamed, so he thanked these Chu Jun.

After the Chu army left, Wang Li asked the sergeant to push the cart into the camp, and everyone came to a relatively open place. Wang Li asked the military doctor to dispose of the body. At this time, many generals of the Qin army came over to pay tribute to Wang Jun, and they bowed their heads in silent mourning for this hero who sacrificed for the overall situation, and prayed for him from the bottom of their hearts. When the military doctor finished disposing of the body and was about to say goodbye, Wang Li couldn't help crying loudly. Because he remembered the bits and pieces of their lives when they were children, they practiced martial arts together, joined the army, and fought side by side, but this brave brother couldn't sleep today and left him forever. When Wang Li thought of this, he was overwhelmed with grief, and suddenly let out a hoarse howl. When the soldiers heard this cry of sorrow, they couldn't help but cry like rain. In the end, Wang Li and the soldiers carried Wang Jun's body to a hill in the suburbs and buried it.
