Chapter 20 Breaking Zhou Wen
The vanguard of three thousand Qin troops marched toward Wucheng in a mighty manner. Most of them were cavalry, especially the majestic Guanzhong horses, which marched faster. Soon, they crossed the Xidi and reached Gaofu, not far away.
Here, a series of camps appeared. This is Zhou Wen's Zhang Chujun.
At this time, the Qin army had stopped at Gaofu. They were waiting for the arrival of the general. Many Qin soldiers were afraid that their targets would be exposed, so they had to retreat. Soon, a middle-aged general wearing light armor came on horseback and appeared in
At Gaofu, he was the commander-in-chief of this army, Shejian.
Shejian jumped off his horse at this time, and under the escort of several personal guards, he found a hidden forest to observe the enemy's situation.
Zhang Chu's army's camp stretches for hundreds of miles, and there are about seven camps. It can be seen that the number of Zhang Chu's army is no less than hundreds of thousands. She Jian took a breath, such a huge army cannot be shaken by his vanguard army.
.
After thinking for a moment, Shejian turned around and ordered: "Retreat thirty miles to the stronghold."
The three thousand Qin troops quickly retreated. They began to build a camp on a piece of flat land. A batch of trees were brought back, sharpened and inserted into the soil as a barrier. Iron caltrops were sprinkled all over the road to prevent Zhang Chu's army from sneaking in. Everything was arranged.
OK, Shejian let out a long sigh. At this time, he came outside the camp and looked at the quiet road in the distance. Soon, the flags of the Qin army were vaguely flying. This was the arrival of Zhang Han's main force.
Groups of Qin troops began to enter the camp. It was not easy for the 400,000 troops to settle down immediately. Fortunately, Shejian had already set up camp in the camp during the day. Some troops without camps only needed to set up camp by themselves.
.
At this time, in the large tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Han was sitting high, and beside him was his son Zhang Ping. The generals below took their seats one by one. At this time, Shejian clasped his fists and reported: "General, Zhang Chu's army is thirty miles away.
The place where they play is hundreds of miles apart, and it is extremely difficult to shake them."
When Zhang Han heard that Zhang Chujun was not far away, he immediately stood up and ordered: "Lead the way, I'll go take a look!"
More than a hundred Qin troops walked along the Chi Road and arrived at Gaofu. At this time, the lights inside Zhang Chu's army were brightly lit. Except for some sentries patrolling back and forth, all the camps were extremely quiet. It seemed that they had already rested.
On the side, Zhang Ping asked softly: "Father, how about we attack the camp at night and kill them by surprise?"
Zhang Han stared for a while longer, then looked at his son and sneered: "It's just a bunch of rabble. Let the soldiers rest for a night today. Tomorrow, I will break through the enemy camp and drive them out of Guanzhong!"
Zhang Han spoke with great confidence, and everyone nodded slightly. After watching for a while, Zhang Han led everyone back.
...
The camp of Zhang Chu Army has been immersed in laughter and laughter in the past few days. They marched triumphantly into Guanzhong, and no Qin army could stop them. Moreover, at this time, they had nearly 400,000 troops, and they were so powerful that they would not be able to defeat Qin.
The army is in my eyes.
After three consecutive days of banquets, everyone had already forgotten the nearby Xianyang City, but Zhou Wen did not forget. After today, when supplies arrived, Zhou Wen decided to launch the final attack on Xianyang.
Moreover, it only takes half a day's journey for cavalry and two days for infantry to reach Xianyang from Xidi. As long as Xianyang is captured, Qin will be like a headless dragon and will surely die.
Just imagine how powerful the Qin army was back then. They annexed the six kingdoms and unified the sea. They were so powerful. But now, they lead their troops to //drive//directly//in and rampage as if they were entering an uninhabited land. Then and now, it is simply...
There is a world of difference. From this, Zhou Wen couldn't help but lament that life is long and the years are ruthless.
Thinking of this, Zhou Wen couldn't help but raise his glass and laugh loudly: "Today's Qin State is no longer vulnerable to a single blow, like a powerful crossbow. Tomorrow our army will march westward. We should work hard to break through the capital of Qin. All generals should work hard to attack the city and kill the enemy bravely. I will
I will express my merits to the king on your behalf."
Everyone laughed and raised their hands: "I am willing to listen to the general's orders."
Zhou Wen laughed again. At this time, Deng Chen was already a little drunk, but his mind was sober. He really didn't want to watch Zhou Wen make the same mistake again and again, nor did he want to see Zhang Chujun defeated in the future, so he gave up his hand.
Said: "General, the quieter the Qin State is, the closer the crisis will be. Often, it is extremely quiet before the storm comes."
Speaking of this, Deng Chen sighed softly and said: "The general should be on guard at this time and maintain strict security in each camp, instead of having a drinking party and having peace every night. The general should immediately remove the banquet and inspect the three armies!"
This time, Zhou Wen couldn't stand Deng Chen anymore. In anger, he slammed the table and said angrily: "Get out of here!"
"General, you can't make the same mistake again and again! Please..." Before Deng Chen finished speaking, Zhou Wen had already picked up the wine bowl and threw it over with all his strength, "Get out!"
Seeing Zhou Wen not listening to advice and making mistakes again and again, Deng Chen was completely desperate. In anger, he took his sword and walked out of the tent.
Outside the big tent, the sun was shining brightly. Looking at the time, it was already noon. Deng Chen recalled how heartless Zhou Wen was when he threw a wine bowl at him. Was it because he had ignored his past friendship just because his loyal words were offensive to his ears?
When Deng Chen was angry and had no way to vent his anger, he suddenly saw dust rising on a high hill in the distance. The huge dust filled the entire high hill. Judging from Deng Chen's many years of military experience, this was an army.
Killing is coming.
But what kind of soldiers and horses are coming to kill him? Deng Chen hesitated for a moment, and a bad thought came to his mind, it must be the Qin army coming to kill him!
Deng Chen was anxious and anxious. He turned around and headed towards the big tent, but the soldiers guarding the big tent stopped Deng Chen. They looked helpless and sighed: "Lord Registrar, the general has an order and you are not allowed to enter the commander's tent again."
!”
"I have urgent business, please get out of the way!" Deng Chen wanted to force his way in, but the soldiers stubbornly blocked the door. Seeing that the commander's account could not be entered, and the Qin army was close at hand, Deng Chen looked at the account.
Curtain, snorted coldly, turned around and left quickly.
After burning a stick of incense, Deng Chen rode his horse out of Dongzhai Gate, galloped along the country road, and headed straight for Hangu Pass.
...
At Gaofu, Zhang Han and others had already rode out on horseback. Behind them, the mighty Qin army began to gather. The sound of chariot wheels rubbing against each other, the neighing of horses, the cavalrymen beating their shields with their swords, and roaring to boost morale.
The sound, the neat steps of the infantry, the crunching sound of stepping on the ground, and the morale-boosting roars of the county captains. These sounds are messy, but they are exciting to listen to.
Soon, nearly 400,000 Qin troops were marching forward in a mighty manner, divided into six square formations. In the middle, Zhang Han raised his right hand, and the formation stopped advancing.
At this time, there were only a few hundred steps away from Zhang Chujun's camp, but he could clearly see the foot of the mountain. At this time, Zhang Han pulled out his long sword from his waist, turned his horse's head, and turned to look at the soldiers of the three armies.
He roared angrily: "Soldiers, your opportunity to make meritorious deeds has come. No matter you were a soldier in the past or a laborer in Lishan Mountain, as long as you kill the enemy bravely and march forward bravely in this battle, you will be the most brave warriors of our Great Qin. You
No longer a slave, no longer a corvee, no longer a pauper, I will reward you according to your merits, and each of you will have an equal opportunity for promotion!"
There was an uproar in the team, and everyone shouted: "The general is mighty! The general is mighty!"
Seeing that the morale of the army was rising, Zhang Han swung his sword forward and roared: "Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who retreat will be killed without mercy! Charge..."
For a time, the Qin army was like a flood that broke an embankment. They ran uphill and downhill. The cavalry followed the chariot and rushed forward. Behind them, the soldiers, halberdiers, spearmen, and crossbowmen all ran forward with all their strength. In an instant, the battlefield
It was surging.
The roaring war drums also sounded at the moment when the Qin army charged forward, and the deep sound of horns reverberated around the fields. Soon, with the impact of the chariots, Zhang Chujun's camp was knocked away, and the Qin troops hacked and killed unscrupulously.
Zhang Chujun.
The prisoners and corvees even hoped to have their household registration restored, no longer do hard labor, no longer work in the dark imperial mausoleum, and bury the tomb of the second emperor. They wanted to live a normal life.
With infinite hope, the prisoners and corvees kept brandishing weapons, such as lost cheetahs and lost tigers, suddenly breaking into the sheepfold, slaughtering to their heart's content, and enjoying the pleasure of killing.//
.
Zhang Han, on the other hand, led a main force of 30,000 men in a rampage, charging all the way in from Zhang Chu's camp at the outermost point. Not far away, there was Zhou Wen's commander's camp. On the high banner, there was the word "Zhou" written on it.
Zhang Han brandished his halberd and charged forward unstoppably. Zhang Chu's army retreated steadily, and the outermost layer of defense collapsed in an instant.
In the commander's tent, Zhou Wen had just received news of the Qin army's attack. At this time, the three armies were in chaos. Zhang and Chu's troops were in separate formations. Some military camps had begun to mutiny and retreated to Hanguguan. Zhou Wen, who had just rushed out of the commander's tent, at this time
The man was inferior to the armor, and the horse was inferior to the saddle. He hurriedly picked up a long pole on the ground, got on his horse, and rushed out of the camp.
In this battle, Zhou Wen underestimated the enemy, but he never expected that the Qin army would come so fast and violently, and how could he organize his troops to counterattack in such a short period of time. Thinking of this, Zhou Wen sighed deeply on his horse, but
The Qin army was approaching step by step, and the tense atmosphere left Zhou Wen with no time to think, so he could only wave his whip and run wildly into the distance.
At this time, more than a hundred personal followers of Zhang Chujun and Zhou Wen arrived. They followed Zhou Wen closely, galloping all the way.
At this time, the Qin army was like a sharp blade, cutting across Zhang Chu's camp. The powerful crossbow formation made Zhang Chu's army unable to fight back. After running for a while, Zhou Wen found that his retreat was cut off. He was restless and had to find another way.
The way out, but at this moment, not far away, a general with a silver helmet and silver armor came galloping towards him, holding a halberd in his hand, shouting loudly: "The enemy general, stop leaving! Zhang Han is here!"
Although Zhou Wen didn't know who Zhang Han was, the enemy general's heroic posture and terrifying momentum shocked Zhou Wen all over. However, in the face of a formidable enemy, Zhou Wen had no choice but to stand upright and fight with all his might.
At this time, Zhou Wen had reined in his horse and galloped towards Zhang Han. Soon, the two weapons collided, and fire exploded. Zhou Wen was frightened by the huge force and almost fell off the horse, but in the end, Zhou Wen stabilized his body and the horse
He rushed forward, but Zhou Wen's followers and Zhang Chujun met the Qin army and fought together.
Zhang Han turned his horse around at an extremely fast speed, preparing to fight Zhou Wen again, but Zhou Wen discovered that Zhang Han was no ordinary opponent. At this time, he could not defeat Zhang Han. The so-called thirty-six tactics were superior, and Zhou Wen could not care less.
