Chapter 164: Defeat

Many people think that this kind of confrontation between the two armies, as long as they compare who has more cultivators on both sides, and the cultivators' cultivation is higher, at most, it is a magic weapon that can improve their combat power, that's all, but the actual situation is not the same at all.

In this, there is an extremely terrible factor, which makes the progress of the battle unpredictable, this is the formation, a powerful formation, not only can make up for the gap between the cultivators, but can even easily cause counter-killing, this is mainly the power in the formation, all from the congenital, the formation is based on people, guiding the most true and purest power between heaven and earth, this power and the cultivator's own mana, this is the same source, so the powerful magic circle, itself is equivalent to a powerful spell, that is, for this reason, on the battlefield, although the cultivator is important, but the general who knows how to arrange the formation, it is even more important。

The so-called thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find, this is the truth.

Zhang Han, who was born as a financial official, attached more importance to the collection of intelligence than ordinary generals, and when he, Tu Hai, the Wild Maiden and others all appeared on the mountain, observing Zhou Wen's camp, they couldn't help frowning.

"Is this kind of army fighting all the way and beating our Great Qin's army to the ground? This is also incredible, I thought this Zhou Wen was such a great character, I didn't expect it to be so mediocre, you look at the big array, it is circular, it must be a five-element formation, with the five elements of the circle, pay attention to gold, wood, water, fire and earth, after entering the formation, it will be attacked by the five elements, but this big array is too loose, the five elements are not symmetrical at all, and the central array is not accurate, indicating that the command of this army is not smooth, our station, of course, can defeat them, what should you do?" Zhang Han was full of jealousy about the increasingly strange Tuhai around him, he couldn't understand how this dignified national teacher of Great Qin, who assisted more than ten Qin kings, and even assisted Qin Shi Huang to unify the six countries, how could he suddenly fall to the point of being in the company of eunuchs like Zhao Gao, could it be that he was crazy?

"Hmph.... I don't have any interest in these formations, you just have to say, when should I rush down, like pinching an ant to death, kill all these rebels, you know what I mean?" Tu Hai licked the corners of his mouth, feeling a burst of hunger and thirst for no reason, he really wanted to rush down now, and kill happily.

Tu Hai's murderous aura infected the three armies like a plague, and even Zhang Han felt a shudder.

"That's good! Tuhai Guoshi, you rushed in from the fire gate, immediately cut into the water gate, and then went straight to the eye of the formation, the mad girl and other big witches cooperated, we killed!" Zhang Han gave an order, and the three armies were solemn.

Like a dark cloud falling in the sky, Zhang Han's handsome banner supervised the battle far behind, and the black-shirted army like an ancient desolate monster created an overwhelming visual shocking effect.

"Follow me! Kill!" Tu Hai rode to the front of the team, and the Five Elements Divine Dragon Army led by him followed closely behind, following with high morale.

The beast girl was stunned, she always thought that she was the battle maniac in the Qin army, but today's Tu Hai showed an amazing desire to kill, and the beast girl immediately commanded her own beast army, set up a formation, and added fierce beast attributes to Tu Hai's army, making Tu Hai's Five Elements Divine Dragon Army a little stronger.

Wang Li's army shook Zhou Wen from the flank, and his army was known as the trapped camp, all of which were selected from the Qin army, and each of them was superb in riding, especially Wang Li's unique horse spell, which made this heavily armored cavalry have an invincible temperament.

Li Hai led his pharmacist at this time and flew into the clouds, he knew that Tuhai's Five Elements Divine Dragon Army was not afraid of the five poisons, so they flew to the upwind of Zhou Wen's army and began to release the five poisons.

And Zhang Han's black-clothed army quickly covered up from behind.

Zhou Wen's large array was cut into by Tuhai in an instant, Tuhai rushed into the fire gate in one breath, and felt the heat wave pressing, at this time it was already a strange flame space, the soldiers in the large array were blessed by the god of fire, each of them was like a flame, in the center of these soldiers, standing was the general who guarded the eye of the array.

If it were an ordinary person, he might still be frightened by the general's body like a flame giant, but who is Tu Hai? This kind of formation, he has never seen before, there are eight hundred, Tu Hai does not talk nonsense, directly into the crowd, straight to the general, the general raised the flame knife and went straight to Tu Hai, but Tu Hai did not dodge, with his head to meet the flame knife, he heard a loud click, the flame knife broke in response, and did not even leave a little scar on Tu Hai's head.

Tu Hai jumped on the head of the Flame General and punched down, the Flame General wailed and burst into a ball of flames, this array was broken, and all the soldiers changed back to the form of ordinary people, and immediately fled.

Tu Hai didn't chase after him, because there was no need at all, someone was taking care of these remnants, he turned around and entered the water gate, as soon as he entered this gate, he immediately fell into the cold wind and snow, and it was still a flame hell, and he suddenly entered this ice and snow, ordinary people would definitely not be able to bear it, but if he didn't enter this gate, he would be affected by the flames in the last while, and it would not be eliminated, so Zhang Han's arrangement was not wrong, he believed in Tuhai's ability.

Tu Hai raised his eyes and looked, in the center of the water array, there was a cold pool, this array of soldiers were all like icemen, all dressed in ice armor, even if they were cut, the cold wind blew, and the wound was restored, which was very difficult to deal with.

But this kind of formation, it's okay to deal with mediocre opponents, to tell the truth, the formation of this formation is so obvious, it has already shown that Zhou Wen's ability is not good at all, if it is a more powerful formation, or there are three or four formation eyes, or there are more than a dozen false formation eyes, the real formation eyes must be hidden, even if they are found, the general who protects the formation eyes is either advanced in cultivation, or has strange spells, and the worst ones must have two magic weapons, like such a poor and white formation eye general, it is simply a shame.

Tu Hai broke this array without accident, at this time the beast girl broke the wooden array, Wang Li broke the earth array, and only one golden array was left alone, so these rebels saw that something was wrong, and immediately dispersed and fled, but immediately entered Lehi's five poison array, one by one was haunted by the five poisons, and they were all poisoned to death.

The base camp army had no intention of fighting and fled one after another. Zhou Wen's ability was not enough at all, he couldn't hold down the position, he saw that the general situation was not good, his old man ran faster than anyone else, he abandoned the army first, escaped from the desert, and went straight to Cao Yang, so he barely stabilized his position.

Although Zhang Han's army was small, he defeated Zhou Wen's main force with concentrated forces, and the rest of the miscellaneous army immediately dispersed in a hurry when they saw this.

Chen Sheng's main army completely collapsed at this point, which was also the first major defeat in Chen Sheng's camp, and it was also the first battle in which Chen Sheng fell into a collapse situation.

The generals were centrifugal, the news of the collapse of Chen Sheng's camp and the defeat of the main army came, and there were immediate changes in the rebels' camp, and these people originally looked down on Chen Sheng as a mud leg.

And the first to disobey Chen Sheng's leadership were Zhang Er and Chen Yu, who were the most respected by Chen Sheng and the most learned, both of whom were from Zhao and were originally nobles, and they only relied on Chen Sheng when there was no way, in fact, they didn't regard Chen Sheng as their master at all.

The two of them jointly persuaded Wuchen to establish himself as the king of Zhao, and took Chen Yu as the general, Zhang Er as the left prime minister, and Shao Shao as the right prime minister, in fact, this was already abandoning Chen Sheng, which was equivalent to betrayal.

Chen Sheng was frightened by the collapse of Zhou Wen's main army, and when he was in great fear, he received an official document from the military minister who established himself as the king of Zhao.

The Emperor of Zhu Guo Fangjun and the military ministers were on good terms, so he advised: "The Qin royal family has not been destroyed, and now our own people are fighting among themselves, so isn't there another enemy? ”

Chen Sheng had no other way but to forcibly hold his breath, but according to Fang Jun's suggestion, he put Wuchen and other family members under house arrest in the palace, and named Zhang Er's son Zhang Ao as the king of Chengdu, sent envoys north to congratulate Wuchen on his assumption of the throne of Zhao, and ordered them to send troops to attack Qin.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu said to Wu Chen: "We set ourselves up as the king of Zhao, not the intention of King Chen, but he sent a villain messenger to congratulate and send us troops to attack Qin, if we are lucky enough to destroy the Qin royal family, King Chen will send troops to deal with us. It is better to go north to attack Yan, Dai and other countries, and conquer Hanoi in the south, in order to expand our territory, this is the foundation of our growth, if Zhao can take the big river in the south and the Yan Dynasty in the north, even if King Zhang Chu can destroy the Qin State, there is no strength to attack us directly, when the time comes, even if the Qin State is not destroyed, they must rely on us even more, and the Zhao State can take advantage of the confrontation between Qin and Chu to establish their own foundation and aspire to the world, hahaha.... At that time, it is not certain who this son of heaven will be. ”

When everyone heard it, this was indeed the truth, so they kept delaying and refused to send troops to attack Qin, but instead ordered Han Guangbei to go north through Liuyandi, Li Liang to attack Changshan, and Zhang Huang to run the party, and make every effort to expand the territory of Zhao in the north and south directions.

Soon, Tian Dan, a native of Dicheng, also established himself as the king of Qi, and the people of Qi have always relied on themselves as a powerful country in the Warring States, and they look down on the rest of the Liu people at all.

Tian Dan is the original Qi royal family, Tian usurped the Jiang family in the early Warring States period and established himself as the king of Qi, there are many outstanding talents in the clan, especially Tian Dan's cousins Tian Rong and Tian Heng, all of whom are contemporary wealthy families. After the destruction of the country, the Tian Rong brothers hid in the people, because of the personality of Ren Chivalry, they were very supported by the clan elders and their children, and their reputation was even higher than that of Tian Dan, but limited to clan ethics, the two brothers still expressed their support for Tian Dan, so the world rose together, and no one looked at Chen Sheng anymore.

Chen Sheng's subordinates Zhou City passed through Wei Land, and would go north to Di Cheng, Di Cheng guarded the strong wall and cleared the wilderness, Zhou City tried his best, but still failed to attack it.

Tian Dannai disguised himself as a slave and should be beheaded, and he must first report to the city general according to the law. The city commander did not doubt him and received him.

Tian Dan took the opportunity to take his children to kill the city general, and announced in public: "The princes everywhere have rebelled against Qin and established themselves, Qi is the oldest country, and it should be restored as soon as possible. ”

The people of the homeland of Qi responded immediately.

Tian Dan established himself as the king of Qi and sent troops to attack Zhou City, which was invincible and retreated to Wei. With the help of the Tian Rong brothers, Tian Dan traveled eastward and took possession of most of the original Qi Kingdom.

The Ministry of Wuchen will Han Guang pass through the northernmost Yan land, because the princes from all over the country rise, the heroes of Yan also want to establish Han Guang as the king of Yan. Han Guangwan refused: "I still have a mother in Zhao State, and I don't want to make King Zhao suspicious, so I can't stand on my own." ”

Yandi Haojie said: "Zhao is threatened by Qin to the west, and Chu is eyeing us to the south, and its strength is no longer able to interfere with us. And with the strength of King Zhang Chu, he didn't dare to hurt the families of King Zhao and the generals, how could Zhao Lan kill the general's mother?"

Han Guang also thought it was reasonable, and set himself up as the king of Yan, and within a few months, King Wuchen of Zhao sent Han Guang's mother and family back to Yan to marry Han Guang.

But soon King Zhao and Zhang Er, Chen Yu and others secretly went north to spy on the Yan Kingdom, and King Zhao himself led a few cronies to explore from the small road, and ran into the guarding Yan army, which was captured by him. Yan Jiang threatened Chen Yu and Zhang Er, demanding that the land be ceded in exchange for King Zhao, otherwise he would be killed.

King Zhao's cronies secretly infiltrated the base camp of Yan Kingdom and said to the guards, "Do you know what Zhang Er and Chen Yu want to happen the most?"

General Yan said: "Of course, I am in a hurry to change back to King Zhao!"

King Zhao's cronies smiled: "The general obviously failed to see through the ambitions of the two. Wu Chen, Zhang Er. Chen Yuyuan was a subordinate of King Zhang Chu, they jointly founded the Zhao State, occupying more than a dozen cities, of course the two of them also wanted to have the opportunity to face the south and the king, how could they be willing to submit to the military ministers and be a general for the rest of their lives?

"When the state of Zhao was first established, in order to stabilize the morale of the army and appease the local people, according to the level of their official positions, the two of them first supported the military ministers as the king of Zhao. Now that the Zhao State has been roughly stabilized, Zhang Er and Chen Yu also want to divide Zhao and establish themselves as kings!

"The general is now capturing King Zhao, but he threatens the two of them, but he is in their arms. What they hope most is for the general to kill King Zhao and let the two of them stand on their own.

"As long as there is a chance to be the king, according to the talents of the two of them, they will definitely be able to integrate the forces of the Zhao State, and then in the name of avenging the former king, they will crusade against the Yan State. Since the Zhao people have the humiliation of the king being killed, they will go all out, and it will endanger the survival of the Yan Kingdom!"

General Yan understood, immediately released King Wuchen of Zhao, and escorted him back to Zhao by his cronies.

Zhou City returned to Wei from Di City, and wanted to establish Ningling Jun Wei, the son of the former Wei royal family, as king. However, Yi Wei was still in the state of Chen, which belonged to the sphere of influence of Chen Sheng, the king of Zhang Chu, and could not get out and return to Wei. The elders of Wei and the wealthy clan wanted to jointly support Zhou Shi as the king of Wei. Zhou Shi politely refused: "When the world is in turmoil, the integrity of loyal ministers can be seen best, and today all regions under the Qin Dynasty have rebelled against Qin to restore self-reliance, and it makes sense to establish the king of Wei and the descendants of the original Wei royal family." ”

The elders of Wei and the leaders of the princes encouraged Zhou to stand on his own, but Zhou Shi was finally able to insist on what he had seen, and took the initiative to ask Chen Sheng to return Wei Ji, after five consecutive Chen requests, Chen Sheng felt his righteousness, and finally agreed to send Wei Ji back to Wei to serve as the king of Wei, and Zhou Shi also served as the prime minister of the newly established Wei State.

When the anti-Qin heroes were at the end of their rope, when the princes in various places were recovering, Zhang Han launched an attack again.

His primary target is still set in Chen Sheng's legion.

Due to the excessively successful early stage, Chen Sheng's territory and soldiers expanded a lot, but it also exposed Chen Sheng's shortcomings of not being good at command and leadership.

Although Zhou Wen, the military commander he relied on the most, was able to take advantage of the situation to attack Hangu Pass, he was defeated as soon as he encountered Zhang Han's Lishan legions, fully demonstrating the fragility of this irregular miscellaneous legion.

Zhou Wen couldn't even restrain the defeated army at all, so he had to flee to Caoyang in Henan in one breath to barely stabilize his position. He reconfigured the defensive line, and finally held it for more than two months, although Zhang Han also sent a vanguard force to interfere, but they were all blocked by Zhou Wenjun.

Zhang Han had no choice but to lead the main force to attack, Zhou Wen's confidence had been lost, and he couldn't defend it, so he took the initiative to retreat to Mianchi. Seeing that Zhou Wen fled without a fight, Zhang Han immediately led the team to chase after him for more than 10 days. The retreating Zhang Chu army was pursued by Zhang Han and immediately launched a fierce attack, Zhang Chu's army was scattered, Zhou Wen killed himself in despair, and the remnants of the army all surrendered.

Chen Sheng's main force was unexpectedly quickly annihilated.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the other main force also lost its strength in the infighting.
