Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 160 Three Defeats Zhang Han
What a shame!An unprecedented shame and humiliation!
It's not that Zhang Han has never suffered a defeat before, and it's not that no enemy has created a battlefield miracle where the weak defeated the strong, but the sneak attack outside Fanyang City is definitely the most embarrassing and humiliating battle that Zhang Han lost!The strength of the army is more than ten times that of the enemy, and the weapons and equipment are superior. The elite soldiers and the enemy's total strength are almost evenly matched, but the Qin army was defeated. Not only was the enemy directly killed in the camp, but also suffered a lot of losses in personnel and materials , I was ashamed and lost to my grandma's house, and even more so to my grandma's house!
After the war, the 20 commanders of the Qin army who were guarding the gate of the camp last night were beheaded on the spot, and his superior Nei Shibao was also beaten with [-] army sticks. They were beheaded together, and there were more than [-] people who failed to restrain the army or took the lead in fleeing. More than [-] bloody heads of the middle-level generals of the Qin Army were also hung directly on the gate of the Qin Army camp.

These mid-level generals of the Qin Army who were beheaded by Zhang Han were actually a bit wronged. Feng Zhongjun’s sneak attack last night not only exceeded the expectations of all the generals of the Qin Army, but also attacked like a fire, with an extremely fast speed. But they were unprepared. Many people were buried by the collapsed military tents before they even had time to pick up the weapons around them, and then they were stabbed to death, stabbed to death, let alone put on heavy armor and assembled for battle. If it was that army, it would not have performed better than the Qin army last night in such a situation.

It's useless to be wronged. Seeing that Zhang Han was in a fit of anger, including Dong Yi and Sima Xin, the second and third Qin army officers, they didn't dare to say anything. They just watched Zhang Han murder, let alone other Qin army generals. .However, Zhang Han was still furious, and shouted again: "Order the whole army, pack up the camp at full speed, reorganize the team, and prepare for the battle. Send troops this afternoon to seek revenge against Feng Zhongpifu!"

"promise!"

The generals of the Qin Army did not dare to question Zhang Han's decision, they all clasped their fists together and sang promises, and then rushed out to execute the order, but Sima Xin did not move, and Sima Xin was cautious only after all the generals of the Qin Army left the camp of the Chinese Army He said: "General, Feng Zhongpifu's despicable sneak attack is extremely rude. It's true that we should find him to settle accounts. With the strength of our army, it is definitely not a big problem to defeat him with a frontal attack, but has the general ever thought about it? If Feng Zhongpifu sees that the situation is not good, and immediately retreats through Jishui, or even directly retreats through Wenshui, wouldn't our painstakingly designed plan to lure the enemy be in vain?"

"Then watch Feng Zhongpifu continue to be arrogant under our noses?" Zhang Han roared: "Last night, we lost face so embarrassingly, if we don't seek revenge from him, where will we save our face?"

"But what about our plan to lure the enemy?" Sima Xin warned again: "Feng Zhongpifu was forced away by us, and we gave way to the ferry again, deliberately allowing the main force of the Chu thieves to cross the river easily. Can Xiang Liang doubt that Fan Yang's battlefield is a trap? He was vigilant, and combined with the special terrain east of Fanyang and the upcoming rainy season, I am afraid that we will soon discover our true plan."

Zhang Han finally closed his mouth, but after careful consideration, Zhang Han shook his head vigorously and said, "Continuing to indulge Feng Zhongpifu's arrogance is not an option. We suffered such a big loss last night, and our strength has the absolute upper hand. It is even more unreasonable to let Feng Zhongpifu continue to protect the way for the old thief Xiang Liang to take revenge without sending troops. If the old thief Xiang Liang finds out that this is wrong, he may also see through our army's intentions."

Thinking about it carefully, I found that this was also the case. Sima Xin couldn't help but frowned, and said in a embarrassed tone: "That's right, it's really more unreasonable for us not to seek revenge on Feng Zhongpifu, and it's more likely to make old thief Xiang Liang suspicious. It’s going to be difficult all of a sudden, it doesn’t matter if you fight, or if you don’t fight, how can we lure the main force of the Chu bandits into Fan Yang’s battlefield?”

Zhang Han didn't say a word, sat down and racked his brains to think, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Finally, when the soldiers came in to report that the camp had been cleared, Zhang Han said slowly, "Feng Zhongpifu's question. It's too difficult. Our plan to wipe out the main force of the Chu thieves by means of water attack may not be feasible. We had better make a quick decision and lead the main force of the Chu thieves to continue westward to fight against the enemy on other battlefields that are beneficial to our army. The main force of the Chu thieves will fight."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Sima Xin continued to pour cold water on him, saying, "Fan Yang is already a little far away from the Chu thief's Huaisi rear. If we want to continue to lure the enemy westward, it will be quite difficult."

"It doesn't matter, I've already considered this point." Zhang Han said coldly: "As long as I make the old thief Xiang Liang think that I'm out of breath, even close to madness, the old thief Xiang Liang will definitely seize the opportunity to chase him down. Do your best to completely defeat our army."

"The method is not bad, but what should I do?" Sima Xin asked.

"It's not difficult!" Zhang Han replied decisively, gnashing his teeth and said: "This battle, we just need to fight as long as we make mistakes!"

After making up his mind, just after noon, Zhang Han resolutely led the main force of the 1 Qin army to attack Feng Zhongjun's camp. The news was reported to Feng Zhong. The army immediately started preparing to retreat, not daring to touch an egg with a rock, and fought head-on with the second-rate army of the Chu army under its own command and the main force of the Qin army.At the same time, Feng Zhong didn't have to be afraid of being held accountable by Xiang Liang for giving up the ferry position-relying on more than [-] second-line troops to draw the main force of the Qin army to bloom, and successfully stimulated the main force of the Qin army to launch a counterattack. No matter how picky Liang is, he will never be able to find a word to blame Feng Zhong.

Therefore, the battle was in a one-sided situation from the very beginning. The disgraced generals of the Qin army fought bravely and fought for the first place. In Feng Zhongjun's camp, Feng Zhongjun was quickly transporting supplies and military supplies across the river, while relying on the weak camp defense to support him. From the very beginning, he was beaten by the Qin army who was determined to avenge, only able to parry, and had no power to fight back.

After all, the hastily built camp was relatively weak. After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, Feng Zhongjun's camp was breached by the Qin army. The soldiers of the Qin army pursued closely, and stepped on the pontoon bridges without hesitation in pursuit, forcing the soldiers of Feng Zhongjun to quickly cut off the pontoon bridges to stop the pursuit of the Qin army. The soldiers successfully captured the river, but failed to completely cut off the main force of the Qin army to cross the river. The red-eyed soldiers of the Qin army also crossed the river quickly on the four pontoon bridges, and continued to chase and kill the jumping beam that brought them great shame and shame last night. Mr. Feng Zhongcun, the clown.

"Zhang Han has gone crazy! Withdraw quickly! Continue to withdraw!"

Never expected that it would drive Zhang Han so crazy. Feng Zhong, who had caused a catastrophe, did not dare to dream of blocking the main force of the Qin army in a state of madness on the west bank of Jishui, and led the army to the Wenshui ferry behind. The army roared and continued to pursue at full speed, not only forcing Feng Zhong to drop all the military supplies and flee eastward, but also took advantage of Feng Zhongjun's panic to cross the river, and once again seized several Wenshui pontoon bridges that Feng Zhongjun had no time to destroy. Chase Feng Zhong's defeated army and move on.

"Brother Han, why is Mr. Zhang Han going crazy this time? He should know that our main force is coming soon. Why did he let his army chase us so closely?"

Zhang Han's deliberate madness has even deceived the soldiers surnamed Han this time, causing the soldiers surnamed Han to give wrong answers to Feng Zhong, saying: "It should be because he lost face too much last night and was completely out of breath. "

"It's good if he's mad." Feng Zhong grinned triumphantly as he rode his horse to flee for his life, and said, "Our main force will arrive soon. The more mad and impulsive he is, the easier it will be for us to fight the next battle."

It was also a coincidence that when Feng Zhong finished saying this, the sky was suddenly covered with dust and smoke, and a group of Chu cavalry suddenly rushed towards him. Feng Zhong was overjoyed when he saw this, and quickly ordered the army to turn around and fight to the death. counterattack.

The situation on the battlefield was quickly reversed by the Chu army. First, Xiang Yu led the Chu army's cavalry and rushed into the waist of the Qin army's pursuers, successfully cutting off the front and rear connections of the Qin army's pursuers. Then the Chu army's infantry brigade also arrived quickly. , joined forces with Feng Zhongjun to quickly defeat the Qin army's pursuers, and in turn chased the Qin army's pursuers to the west bank of Wenshui, until the Qin army was forced to cut off the pontoon bridge before stopping. Small, got a lot of benefits.

On the afternoon of that day, Xiang Liang personally brought the main force of the Chu army to the west bank of Wenshui, and joined forces with Feng Zhongjun. Feng Zhong finally believed his words and said to the soldiers surnamed Han: "Brother Han, think it over." No? If you want, I will recommend you to the general as soon as I see him."

Feng Zhong's previous vaccinations worked. Considering his humble status, even if Feng Zhong personally recommended him, it was absolutely impossible for him to be reused by Xiang Liang.The soldier surnamed Han thought over and over again, and then replied: "There is no rush, let me think about it again."

The voluntary retreat of the soldiers surnamed Han once again made Feng Zhong stole the limelight. Hearing that Feng Zhong used the vanguard alone to draw the main force of the Qin army to the ground last night, all the generals of the Chu army were amazed and admired, and Xiang Liang was even more impressed. Laughing loudly, he personally supported Feng Zhong and praised loudly: "Amazing! Amazing! With the help of General Feng, this old man is really like a tiger with wings, like a tiger with wings! Reward! Reward! The soldiers of our army under General Feng's command will be doubled this time. reward!"

After rewarding Feng Zhong and his subordinates heavily, Xiang Liang, who was overjoyed, promoted Feng Zhong to two ranks of title on the spot, making Feng Zhong the same official position as Xiang Yu. Feng Zhong said hi, and Xiang Kang also patted Feng Zhong on the shoulder and smiled: "Brother, it seems that I will give up my position as the rear general to you soon! Good job, try to be like me, and also let you be the top general." Give you a title!"

When all the generals of the Chu army rushed to express their congratulations to Feng Zhong, a soldier suddenly reported from outside the tent, saying that Zhang Han sent an envoy with a letter of war, asking Xiang Liang to fight to the death in the western suburbs of Fanyang the day after tomorrow.After hearing this, Xiang Liang was not in a hurry to summon the envoys of the Qin army, but asked the Chu army Wenwu present: "Generals, as soon as our army arrived in Wenshui, Mr. Zhang Han immediately sent a letter about fighting. What do you think?"

"I'm afraid there may be fraud." Xiang Kang was the first to reply: "The Zhang Han man clearly has two rivers, Jishui and Wenshui, to defend, so he doesn't intend to defend them according to the danger. Instead, he voluntarily gave up the ferry and sent a letter I'm afraid he has other tricks and wants to lure our army across Jishui and Wenshui, and then take the opportunity to take trouble from them, we should deal with it carefully."

"Brother, why are you getting more and more timid?" Xiang Yu said with some dissatisfaction: "In this situation, what kind of tricks can Zhang Han play? It's nothing more than taking advantage of our chance to cross the river and attacking halfway. We just need to first Sending elites to cross the river and be careful, what advantage can Zhang Han take advantage of?"

"Brother, it's not that I'm cowardly, it's that this matter is too weird." Xiang Kang replied: "If we say that we are not good at battles, Zhang Han took the initiative to make an appointment to fight, but he made use of our strengths and avoided our weaknesses. But the battle in Lu County has proved our strengths. The combat ability is not inferior to the main force of Tyrant Qin, and Zhang Han is not sure, so why should he invite us to face-to-face decisive battle?"

"Perhaps Mr. Zhang Han is out of breath." Ji Bu, who has a similar interest with Xiang Yu, pointed out: "Today's battle is a clear proof. It is impossible for Mr. Zhang Han not to know that our main force will arrive today, but he still let him go." The army of the army pursued General Feng Zhong reluctantly, determined to avenge him, and obviously lost his mind. It should be reasonable to want to go all out and fight us head-on."

All the generals of the Chu army agreed, including Feng Zhong, who felt that Zhang Han was completely out of his mind, and for the first time, he did not support Xiang Kang and stood by Ji Bu. Xiang Kang had no choice but to remind him instead. Xiang Liang should always be careful.After Xiang Liang thought about it again and again, he ordered the envoy of the Qin army to be summoned, and personally approved the decisive battle as promised in Zhang Han's own tactics.

Seeing that Xiang Liang agreed to a decisive battle, Xiang Kang, who never liked to fight head-on, of course sighed a little. Xiang Yu, Huan Chu, Ji Bu and other Chu army generals were overjoyed, and they rushed to ask Xiang Liang to be the vanguard, and then no surprises As expected, Xiang Liang handed over the task of vanguard to his favorite nephew Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu was overjoyed to thank him, but he didn't notice that the soldiers surnamed Han waiting outside the tent were watching him carefully, and said in his heart: "Although this person has Brave and foolhardy, but Xiang Liang is obviously more fond of Xiang Kang than Xiang Kang, if he can obey me like Feng Zhong, he can be considered as an object."

However, Xiang Kang's reminder was not ineffective. Early the next morning, the main force of the Chu army crossed Wenshui cautiously, approached the Jishui Ferry and went down to the stronghold, and then immediately built a large number of pontoon bridges so that the Chu army could advance to a decisive battle.There was no movement on the Qin army's side, and watched helplessly as the Chu army built a bridge to clear the way, clearing the way to enter the army from outside the barracks.

In the early morning of the third day, the Chu army began to cross Jishui westward. First, they established a strong blocking position on the west bank of Jishui, and then dispatched the main force to cross the river, and set foot on the west bank of Jishui calmly and carefully.The Qin army kept its promise, and did not dispatch its troops until three quarters in the morning, striding over to fight the main force of the Chu army head-on.

Xiang Kang, who was not good at battle, was still left by Xiang Liang to guard the camp and the pontoon at the ferry to protect the retreat of the main force of the Chu army. The partial division of the Chu army, which was surrounded and unable to participate in the battle, expanded its strength to more than [-] troops, so Xiang Liang did not place the tortoise formation last time, but directly arranged a square formation with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

It was still the main force of the Qin army who took the initiative to attack. Under the command of Zhang Han, the Qin army outflanked and attacked the two weaker flanks of the Chu army's phalanx. Unfortunately, Xiang Liang's battle experience was far superior to Zhang Han's. Early on, elite troops were deployed on the two wings of the Chu army to garrison, and they lined up a dense horizontal line. They first hit the soldiers of the Qin army head-on with bows and crossbows, and then waved their spears and halberds fiercely, beating the oncoming Qin army to death. Scratching around.

Unable to attack the two wings of the Chu army, Zhang Han could only strike at the back of the Chu army instead, dispatching a mixed army of chariots, cavalry and infantry to detour to the back of the Chu army, and at the same time attack frontally, in an attempt to pinch the Chu army's phalanx from front to back.However, while Xiang Liang's order flag was waving, Xiang Liang suddenly led the Chu army's cavalry to rush out of the formation, charged at the Qin army's army that was turning around behind the Chu army, and fought hard to defeat the mixed army of the Qin army, winning the defense.

In the ensuing battle, Xiang Liang, who was personally taught by Xiang Yan, taught Zhang Han a military lesson with his thousands of troops. Attacking, killing the Qin army that kept rushing back again and again, Zhang Han was dazzled by the command in front of the battle, and sighed to himself, and changed the formation as a whole in the fierce battle, gradually changing the Chu army's phalanx into a few formations that were easier to concentrate on fighting, and Pushing forward, he came directly to the Qin army's battle formation.

In order to achieve the purpose of luring the enemy and try his best to win the victory, Zhang Han did not give up his efforts on purpose. Facing several formations of the slowly advancing Chu army, Zhang Han continued to dispatch troops to strengthen the frontal defense, and even divided his troops for a time. Go to attack the Chu army's ferry, trying to cut off the Chu army's retreat and shake the Chu army's morale.But it is a pity that the surprise attack team of the Qin army was defeated head-on by Xiang Kang's troops who were waiting for strict reorganization, which was in vain.

In the afternoon when it was approaching You, just like in history, the main force of the Qin army under Zhang Han's command finally couldn't stop Xiang Liang's frontal attack. Xiang Liang's command directly changed into a conical formation. The Qin army's central army was in chaos, and they spread out to the two wings to avoid the Chu army's sharp edge. Xiang Liang took the opportunity to chase his troops back to the camp, and gained a lot. The Qin army was defeated and was forced to flee back to the camp to defend the camp. It was not easy to withdraw the main force to the camp.

After the victory again, the Chu army cheered again, Xiang Liang was even more joyful, and pointed at the Qin army camp with a whip and laughed: "Zhang Han, you can't beat our army in a battle of wits, and you can't beat our army even more in a battle of battles. The old man wants to see, what kind of tricks can you play this time?"

After laughing loudly, Xiang Liang immediately ordered to withdraw the troops while the sky was still dark, saying: "Ming Jin, withdraw the troops and return to the camp, and come back tomorrow to settle accounts with Zhang Han's children, this time, we must not let this fellow slip away again! "
