At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 188 Xiang Yu surrenders? Yingbu counterattacks
Xu Fan was speechless for a while after listening to Xiang Bo's words. This could bring back the original history.

Xu Fan said: "How do you let me make the decision? Not to mention that this is your internal matter. It is not easy for us outsiders to interfere. Even if I want to intervene, I am powerless. Now the Han army is in the north to fight against Mengtian. There is no way." Send manpower to Surabaya County."

Xu Fan thought for a moment and said, "In fact, there is no need for us to intervene. When Xiang Yu finishes defeating Feng Jie in Qi, he will lead his troops back to Sishui County, and these villains will be left to your nephew to get rid of them."

At this time, Xu Fan really didn't want to care about the internal affairs of these anti-Qin rebels. It was too easy to become a stranger inside and outside, and he also believed that relying on Xiang Yu's ability to deal with Song Yi Xiongxin would not be a problem at all. Xiang Yu had killed two people in history, and he would not kill him again now. It's difficult.

But this is not the case in Xiang Bo's view. Unlike Xu Fan, he does not know how powerful Xiang Yu is. From his perspective, Xiang Yu only has 3 remnant soldiers and faces hundreds of thousands of Qin troops. It is already extremely dangerous. , and now that the base camp of the army has been occupied, and the escape route has been cut off, his nephew is lucky to be able to come back alive. So at this time, he wanted to find someone for Xiang Yu to rely on, and the person he chose was Xu Fan.

Xiang Bo said: "King of Han, our Xiang family is willing to hand over the three counties of Chu to the King of Han. We only ask the King of Han to support my nephew so that he can survive."

As soon as Xu Fan said this, Ji Xin, Li Shiqi and other senior Han officials were extremely excited.

It is not easy for everyone to interfere in the internal affairs of the allies, but it would be different if Xiang Bo offered the city on his own initiative. After all, these places were conquered by Xiang Liang. After Xiang Liang died, Xiang Bo wanted to offer these counties. Who can say what.

So Ji Xin and others signaled Xu Fan to agree, and after the battle against Mengtian, they would take over the three counties of Jiangdong in the name of Xiang's uncle and nephew.

Only Xu Fan understood that Xiang Yu was not willing to be subordinated to others, and Xiang Bo might not be Xiang Yu's master. He said: "You'd better discuss this matter with Xiang Yu and others, and we will make a decision. Anyway, this matter is not a short-term one." It can be solved within the country.”

The poet Ding Xue shouted: "Be careful, if these long poles are broken, the entire stone cannon will be useless. This Handan has been developed for hundreds of years, and there is no such long and thick century-old tree at all."

Among the Han army, no one valued stone cannons more than soldiers. With stone cannons destroying cities, their casualties could be reduced by more than ten times. These stone cannons saved the lives of low-level soldiers like them.

When the soldier heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "We are old and can't learn anything, but my son is still young. In primary school, the masters said that my boy is smart and a good student. We have agreed to wait until we get back." When I get to Chen County, I will take my boy to become my master."

Sanchuan County, Chenggao City.

The fierce battle here has ended. Tian Zang led a group of Han army officers to the land of Handan. The battlefield that had just ended was covered with corpses and the soil was soaked with blood, making it look like a bloody slaughterhouse.

Then he ran towards the transport ship and asked more soldiers to help unload the heavy equipment from the ship. The disassembled stone cannon parts were carried by the soldiers onto a special carriage.

The soldiers replied: "Don't worry, Ding Mo. This is the treasure of us soldiers. Without this stone cannon, we would risk our lives to attack the city. So even if we are damaged, we dare not let the stone cannon be damaged." damage."

After cleaning the battlefield, Tian Zang gave a loud order: "Leave one battalion of soldiers to guard the ferry, and the rest of the army will set off immediately and march into Neihuang. Our army cannot give the enemy time to react. We must capture Neihuang before the Qin army can react, in order to attack Ye." County prepares.”

Handan, Neihuang County ferry.

The words are divided into two parts. Although the Han army attacked the Northern Xinjiang army across the board, in Sanchuan County, the Han army was the target of a beating.

The Han army had never been defeated in field battles with the Qin army since the beginning of its rebellion against Qin. This gave the Han army generals and soldiers great confidence. With the same strength, the Han army officers were sure that they could annihilate the Qin army. On the contrary, the Qin army defeated the Qin army in Xu. After a series of weakening morale, they no longer dared to fight in the field with the Han army.

Tian Zang smiled and said: "It's better this way. The siege battle will consume a lot of money. I don't know how many soldiers in our hands will fall under the enemy's wall. But in field battles, our Han army has not been afraid of the Qin army."

Other soldiers also expressed their agreement. In the eyes of these soldiers, the Mohists were the kind of capable outsiders. Even the King of Han would ask them for advice. In the past two years, the Mohists joined the Han army and built blast furnaces to solve their weapons. The problem of equipment and farm tools was solved, and stone cannons were used to solve the problem of the Han army's siege.

They can feel the ability of the Mo family. For these soldiers, if their boys join such a sect, it is a guarantee that their boys will become talented.

Ding Xue smiled and said: "If you want to become a Mohist, I can introduce it to the teacher. Our teachers also want Mohists to develop and grow, and are willing to teach more students, as long as you can adapt to our Mohist rules."

"No!" said Joining the Army, who was standing behind Tian Zang.

One of the soldiers said enviously: "Ding Mozhe, you have a capable teacher who can even assemble such a powerful stone cannon. Unlike us soldiers, who only know how to kill people with swords."

Deng Shuo, the commander-in-chief of the supervisory army, reminded: "Isn't this too radical? The main force of the Qin army is in Ye County. They know the situation in Neihuang and can support them in less than three days."

This is a city only fifteen miles away from Hulao Pass. It is the barrier of Hulao Pass. When the Han army attacked Sanchuan County, Sanchuan County did not have enough troops. The Chenggao City defenders led 1000 Qin troops to retreat to Hulao Pass to guard it.

Xiang Bo had no choice but to agree and send an envoy to tell Xiang Yu and others about his conversation with Xu Fan today and ask for their opinions.

Tian Zang shouted: "Order the soldiers in the rear to speed up the transportation of stone cannons and other siege equipment. We will use these equipment to attack Neihuang and Ye counties."

Song Liu, the commander-in-chief of the Han army, took the opportunity to capture Chenggao City and further led his troops to attack Hulao Pass. However, Qin general Dong Yi soon led 5 elites from the pass to support Hulao Pass. Facing the powerful Qin army, Song Liu could only retreat to Chenggao City. The offensive and defensive momentum of both sides changed. Now it was the Qin army's turn to storm the Han army's city.

At this time, a large number of Qin troops continued to attack Chenggao City, and the strong smell of blood filled the surrounding Chenggao City.

"Kill!" The sword in Yingbu's hand kept killing the Qin soldiers who were on the city wall. Yingbu's fearless killings cut down 12 Qin soldiers in a row, and even the hundred-smelted steel knife in his hand was blunted. , the last Qin soldier was kicked off the city wall by Yingbu. And the Qin soldier who was finally kicked off the city wall was the last Qin soldier to climb the tower.

Qin general Dong Yi was angry to see that soldiers finally climbed onto the city wall, but they were killed by the rebel generals before they could even establish a stable stronghold.

"Archer, kill this traitor general" Dong Yi said angrily.

Several Qin army archers shot at Yingbu with arrows.

"Boohoo!" The long arrows came towards him with a sharp whistle that tore the air. Yingbu noticed it and avoided it, but two long arrows still hit Yingbu's chest.

"General!" Yingbu's personal guards were shocked when they saw this situation and immediately guarded him.

Yingbu pulled out the long arrow with force and said, "Don't worry, you won't die."

"Archers strike back!"

"Boom!" Thousands of long arrows covered the range where the sharp archers had just shot. Each of these sharp archers fell to the ground after receiving several long arrows.

And this kind of mutual hunting can be seen everywhere in Chenggao City. The Qin army attacked desperately, and Qin general Dong Yi did not care about the casualties of his soldiers. The orders from the Xianyang court were becoming more and more urgent, and Dong Yi was required to seize the time to get through. If the food route from Sanchuan County to the Northern Xinjiang Army cannot conquer the city in front of him, not only will his official position be lost, but his family may even be implicated.

It's a pity that his enemy Han army was more tenacious. Facing the Qin army that was twice as many as his own, the Han soldiers fought bloody and fierce battles. They used long arrows, hammering logs, rolling stones and other city defense weapons to pour on the Qin army's heads. It caused heavy casualties to the Qin army.

When the Qin army's offensive was like a tidal wave and they still couldn't do anything to the Han army, the huge casualties began to make the Qin army unbearable. They had lost confidence that they could conquer the city.

So in the second half of the siege, the soldiers of the Qin army began to work hard. It looked like they were attacking the city, but in fact they hid in the corner when they encountered some obstacles to avoid being killed.

Although the Qin Army Supervisory Team also killed a group of soldiers to scare the fleeing soldiers, they did not want to continue to attack the city and die. Instead, they hid within the range of the Han Army's bows and arrows. Although they might be killed in this way, they would survive better than those who simply died. The rate must be high, and the supervising team does not dare to come here yet.

Seeing that the army had no courage to attack the city, Dong Yi could only say helplessly: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops!"

"Dang, clang, clang!" Upon hearing this sound, the Qin army retreated from the battlefield like a tide.

Chenggao City was once again defended.

Song Liu heard that Yingbu was injured and ran over and said worriedly: "General, are you okay?"

Yingbu patted the armor on his body and said, "You will be slightly injured, but you won't die!"

For the senior generals of the Han army, Xu Fan made them hundred-refined steel armor. In this era when a hundred-refined steel sword was worth thousands of gold, it is not an exaggeration to say that the armor of Yingbu and the others was priceless. His armor was used by the Qin Dynasty. The military crossbow arrows hit many places, but none of them penetrated his armor. Then Yingbu looked at the Qin army camp and said: "The generals of the Qin army don't care about the casualties of their soldiers at all. During this period, their casualties have been close to 2, more than one-third of the total number of the Qin army. The King of Han said, When the casualties of an army exceed one-third, unless it is an army with faith, the army cannot withstand such casualties. In the past few days, the morale of the Qin army was low during the second half of the siege. They no longer obey the orders of the generals of the Qin army, and it can be seen from this that the Qin army opposite us is in a state of collapse."

After hearing this, Song Liu smiled and said: "General, what do you mean, it will be difficult for the Qin army to attack us next?"

Yingbu hated the iron and said: "Idiot, what I want to say is that now is our turn to attack the Qin army."

Then Yingbu looked at the Qin army camp and sneered: "Dong Yi has been attacking us fiercely for a month. He has become accustomed to us defending and never thought that we would take the initiative to attack. As long as we give Dong Yi a try, Dong Yi's troops will The entire army will surely be annihilated.”

Song Liu hesitated and said: "The task given to us by the King of Han is to block the Qin army's food route. We don't need to take risks."

Ying preached: "There is no need to take risks. As long as 5000 soldiers are arranged to raid the Qin army's camp, we will be sure to annihilate the Qin army in one battle."

Although Song Liu still wanted to stop it, Yingbu had already made up his mind, and he could only prepare an army for Yingbu.

Song Liu summoned 5000 soldiers who were in good condition and asked them to eat and rest immediately.

Midnight, Chenggao City Campus.

5000 Han soldiers lined up neatly, and they were all in high spirits.

Yingbu came to these soldiers and said: "We have been attacked by the Qin army for more than a month. Now it is our turn to fight back."

5000 soldiers shouted in unison: "Follow the general to the death."

Yingbu smiled and said: "Don't scare the Qin army! Let's go!"

Yingbu walked at the front of the team, and 5000 soldiers followed Yingbu slowly out of Chenggao City, taking advantage of the night to kill towards the Qin army camp.

When they marched to within 3 miles of the Qin army's camp, Yingbu ordered the soldiers to rest.

Then Yingbu summoned the five army commanders around him and said: "The Qin army has been attacking us continuously for a month, and they have long been exhausted."

Yingbu pointed to the shining morning star and said: "But it is before dawn now, when people are most asleep. If we raid their camp now, we probably won't kill them in front of them, and they won't be able to hear us. So after entering the Qin Army's camp, you divide your troops into five groups and sweep across the entire Qin Army's camp. Remember, remember that the speed when entering the enemy's camp must be fast, so fast that we will kill them before they wake up. We must kill the enemy to Ben Collapse, do you understand?"

"I understand." Several people said in unison.

After Yingbu and the others formulated a strategy to deal with the enemy, they ordered the entire army to advance carefully.

He Yingbu's prediction was correct. More than a month of onslaught had already exhausted the Qin army. Even if Dong Yi arranged sentries, the sentries on guard were too tired to open their eyes. Although they were still standing He was standing, but he no longer responded to outside movements.

"Shoot!" Yingbu ordered his archers to kill all the sentries on the Qin army's archery tower.

"Ah!" The long arrow of the Han army penetrated the chest of the Qin army's sentry. The sentries felt the excruciating pain, and they fell down the arrow tower with a scream.

The sound of the sentry screaming began to spread to the entire Qin army camp, and the soldiers were suddenly awakened.

But at this time, Yingbu had already led his men and pushed away the obstacles such as the horse-jumper wooden fence blocking the enemy in the Qin army's camp. Yingbu led 5000 soldiers into the enemy's camp.

Yingbu shouted: "The army divides up and gathers together. When you see that the enemy is gathering troops, attack these people first."

"Kill!" The Han soldiers followed Yingbu's order and divided the army into five groups, each committing suicide and heading towards the Qin army's camp.

The soldiers of the Qin army had not yet reacted. When Yingbu and the others entered the tent, they slashed and killed the soldiers who were still lying on the bed. More than a dozen soldiers bled into rivers and died in their tents.

In less than a stick of incense, thousands of soldiers in the front camp of the Qin army died tragically in their sleep.

The tragic death of these Qin soldiers bought time for the Qin soldiers in the rear, and the noisy sound finally woke up all the Qin soldiers.

They fled out of the tent in horror, only to find that the Han army slaughtered their robes like the god of death. At this time, they did not think of revenge, but fled in all directions to avoid the pursuit of the Han army.

There was no way for them. They had just woken up. Not to mention weapons and equipment, they had not even put on their clothes. How could they be the opponents of the fully armed Han army in such a bare-handed state? Even if they did not escape, they would only encounter the Han army. Army massacre.

Of course, the Qin army also reacted and began to organize troops to resist the killings of the Han army.

Whenever he saw the Qin army in such a state, Yingbu immediately led his soldiers to kill them. The sword in Yingbu's hand was slashing left and right. He could defeat more than a dozen Qin soldiers by himself and kill the officers of the Qin army. He had been gathering quickly. The army was once again killed and dispersed by Yingbu. The entire Qin army camp has been in chaos.

"Everyone, come closer to me!" Dong Yi, the general of the Chinese army, discovered at this moment that his camp had been raided by the Han army, and now his soldiers were being killed by the Han army. He immediately wanted to gather his troops to fight back.

"Dong Yi!" Hearing the shouts of the Qin army in the camp, he said with great joy: "Just find you, I will kill you."

After saying this, Yingbu led his soldiers to rush towards Dong Yi and kill him.

"Protect General!" Dong Yi's personal guards immediately protected him behind him, but Yingbu's martial arts skills were too high. He slashed with his long sword and killed several Dong Yi's personal guards who were facing him. He himself He even rushed to Dong Yi and shouted: "Dong Yi, take your life."

Facing such a brave Yingbu, Dong Yi immediately blocked with his long sword.

"Dang!" The strength in Yingbu's hand was too great, and the power transmitted from the long sword made him retreat continuously.

Yingbu gained the upper hand and continued to attack Dong Yi with his long sword.

Dong Yi blocked in front of him and said, "Dang!"

The long sword in his hand was knocked away by Yingbu. When Yingbu slashed at Dong Yi for the third time, Dong Yi could only watch helplessly as Yingbu's long sword hit his chest, and then his eyes went black and nothing happened. knew.

Yingbu cut off Dong Yi's head with a knife, and shouted loudly in his Dantian: "Dong Yi is dead, surrender and avoid death!"

Yingbu's personal guards also kept shouting: "Dong Yi is dead, surrender and avoid death!"

"Dong Yi is dead. Surrender to avoid death!"

The soldiers of the Qin Army had just assembled a small army. When they saw that their commander had been hacked to death by the enemy, they collapsed immediately.

The clever soldiers immediately escaped from the camp, but the soldiers who had lost their will to fight were completely desperate when they saw the leader's head. When they heard the words of surrender and avoid death, they dropped their weapons and surrendered to the Han soldiers.

The sun rises slowly in the east, and the battle in the Qin army camp ends quickly. Just like what Yingbu said, Dong Yi did not cherish the lives of his soldiers and had long destroyed their will to fight. Now as long as they find a reason not to fight, they will hand over their weapons, so 3 Qin soldiers appeared. The army surrendered to 5000 Han troops.

Yingbu immediately sent soldiers to let Song Liu take over the Qin army's camp. When Song Liu led the army, he arrived. Yingbu attacked Hulao Pass again. At this time, there were only 500 defenders at Hulao Pass. When they found out that Yingbo was attacking the city, they immediately ran away. Yingbo easily occupied this most important pass in the world.
