At night, Zhang Han set up camp near Changping County. The camp stretched for hundreds of miles, and the flames shot into the sky, illuminating the surrounding area like daylight. From time to time, scouts rushed out of the camp and spread around.

The Qin army was only more than thirty miles away from Zhang Chu's army, but the vanguard was frustrated and the Qin army was demoralized and exhausted. Therefore, Zhang Han was not in a hurry to attack Zhang He's army.

At this time, the lights in the tent were brightly lit, and Zhang Han gathered Sima Xin, Zhang Ping, Su Jiao and others in the tent to discuss a plan to defeat the enemy.

At this time, the tent was extremely quiet. Several people gathered around the map and remained silent. I don’t know how much time passed before Sima Xinlang said with a smile: “If the general is willing to listen to me, we might as well attack Zhang Chu’s camp at night and catch them off guard.

"

After Zhang Han heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "I have nearly 500,000 troops, and only 20,000 bandit troops are nothing to be afraid of."

Seeing that Zhang Han was a little complacent, Sima Xin smiled and said: "General, victory or defeat is unpredictable. Don't underestimate the enemy."

After briefly looking at each other with Sima Xin, Zhang Han finally made up his mind, turned around and ordered: "Send the order, assemble the troops."

In the Qin camp, many camps had fallen asleep, and only the soldiers in charge of patrols were still patrolling. But the sudden sound of drums and gongs woke everyone up from their dreams. They were still drowsy and didn't know what happened.

There were already officers riding horses and galloping around the camp, shouting: "The general has an order, assemble the troops and march south!"

Curses and complaints immediately rang out in the camp, but Zhang Han's order was issued and no one dared to disobey. About two hours later, the first batch of Qin troops slowly marched out of the camp and headed south.

The night was getting dark, and the Qin army was like a ferocious dragon, swimming proudly on the winding road. After walking for about half an hour, the noise of Zhang Chu's camp could be heard in the distance.

War horses neighed, and from time to time, scouts galloped on the plains, patrolling back and forth to detect the enemy's situation. Some of them were assassinated by the Qin army's scouts with bows and arrows just as they sat down to rest. War and death quietly approached Zhang Chu's army.

Soon, Zhang Han led a large group of troops to the slope. In the distance, the lights were bright. This was the camp of Zhang Chujun. It was close at hand. Looking at the flickering torches, Zhang Han knew that Zhang Chujun had not relaxed.

Vigilant, they still maintained a fighting state, but the war was imminent, and Chen County was not far away after breaking through Zhang He's camp. Thinking about it, Zhang Hanle turned his horse's head and looked at the mighty Qin army behind him. His

His voice was high, but the mighty Qin army stretched for dozens of miles, and you couldn't hear what he was saying. However, Zhang Han's words were not meant for everyone. He mainly wanted to encourage the generals around him.

"The bandit army is in Changque and is endangering one side. The Qin Dynasty has reached a critical moment. Since I, Zhang Han, have been ordered to punish the bandits, I have already put my life and death aside. Now, Zhang He camp is right in front of me and has broken through here. Chen County can be defeated soon. In order to defeat it as soon as possible

Return in triumph, reunite with your family as soon as possible, and return home in fine clothes as soon as possible. Soldiers, follow me and kill them!" Zhang Han's words aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Everyone roared and raised their weapons. At this time, Zhang Han

Han waved his halberd and was the first to rush forward. Then, the Qin army surged forward like a flood that broke a dike.

Along the way, Zhang Chu's army sprinkled iron caltrops as the first line of defense. However, the Qin army had a large number of people and was mostly driven by chariots. The iron caltrops failed to play its due role. In an instant, the Qin army poured into Zhang Chu's army.

camp.

The soldiers of Zhang Chu Army who had already fallen asleep heard the chaotic sound of gongs and vague shouts of killing. They got up quickly, put on their war robes, took weapons, and rushed out of the tent. Outside, Qin troops were everywhere.

Before they could take action, they were mercilessly killed by the Qin soldiers.

There were still some tents. Before Zhang Chujun had time to come out, the Qin soldiers had already thrown the torches on the tents. The tents were quickly burning, and Zhang Chujun kept running out of the fire. They were covered in fire. After struggling for a moment, they were silent.

Rested.

The war was extremely brutal, with cries and begging for mercy audible. In the Chinese army camp, Zhang He also received news of the Qin army's night attack on the camp. He hurriedly put on his armor, picked up his spear, and ran out of the tent, only to be met by the enemy.

When he bumped into Zhang Han, he stared at him with eager eyes and tried to kill him.

Zhang He was in a panic, and hundreds of his personal guards immediately came up to fight Zhang Han. Zhang Han's halberd was unbeatable and flew left and right, killing Zhang Chu's army with screams. At this time, Zhang Han's personal

The guards have also arrived and surrounded Zhang He.

The guards around Zhang He were all dead and wounded. He looked at Zhang Han in despair. He lost this battle. Although it was destined to be difficult for Zhang He to win in terms of military strength, he could never have guessed that Zhang Han would win again.

Although he had an absolute advantage, he still attacked the camp by surprise. He underestimated the enemy and killed 20,000 Chu troops.

In despair, Zhang He looked up to the sky and shouted. With unwillingness and despair, he broke the spear shaft, inserted it into his chest with his backhand, and shouted in despair: "Your Majesty, the last general has taken the lead..."

...

Perhaps it was the end of a great battle. At first, only snowflakes fell sporadically in Chen County. The snowflakes were not big, but they covered the ground. But soon, the wind suddenly rose, and the heavy snow blew from the sky. The battlefield that had just been stained with blood ushered in a new look.

winter clothing.

Heavy snow covered the bones of Alaaai, and as far as the eye could see, the earth was completely white.

Starting from Chen County, Chen Sheng rushed to Xiang County without stopping, preparing to mobilize the garrison in Xiang County and go north to reinforce Zhang He.

At this time, it was cold and snowy, and Chen Sheng was wrapped in a thick cloak and anxious in the carriage. He had just received the report that nearly two thousand people had fled the team while marching to Xiang County and were missing. Chen Shengzhen

I can't imagine how many troops I would have left if I arrived at Zhang He's camp?

Chen Sheng also thought about summoning troops and horses from all directions, but water from far away could not quench the thirst nearby, and Chen County was still unable to hold on.

Chen Sheng also considered moving the capital to Jiangdong or Jiujiang to avoid its sharp edge, and it would not be too late to come back later. But Zhang Han's army was pressing on the border, how could he give up and continue to pursue himself? Maybe, he would go all the way south and go straight to

Jiujiang, at that time, my only way out was the pure land of Jiangdong.

But when Xiang Liang was sent to Chen County as an envoy, he wanted to go north to fight against the Qin army. He personally rejected Xiang Liang and curbed the Xiang family's hope of going north. At this time, if I asked him for help, could I still get help?

Chen Sheng couldn't imagine that the anger and anxiety in his heart gathered together, and Chen Sheng's temper was extremely bad.

Whenever he thought of Zhang Chu's former power and current abjection, with troops approaching the city and only a matter of seconds to live or die, Chen Sheng would whip the coachman Jia Fu. Every time he thought of it, he would whip him hard. Although Jia Fu didn't resist, Chen Sheng

It can be seen how deep the anger was in Jia Fu's eyes.

At this time, not far away, several cavalrymen galloped over, stopped in front of Chen Sheng's carriage, cupped their hands and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang He's army... has collapsed!"

After the cavalry reported the report, Chen Sheng's furious voice once again sounded in the carriage. He angrily scolded the cavalry, the coachman, and every general around him. His whip mercilessly slapped everyone on their faces and bodies, and he even killed them with his sword.

One of the bodyguards died.

Chen Sheng's rage aroused everyone's dissatisfaction. At this time, bad news came again. Zhang Han's army has continued to march south and will arrive in Chen County soon.

This was a reminder. Zhang Chu's army completely collapsed. Both the personal guards beside Chen Sheng and the reinforcements brought by Chen Sheng from Xiang County were on the march and escaped. Some openly threw Zhang Chu's army flags.

Escape.

There were only a dozen people left beside Chen Sheng. They had been following Chen Sheng for a long time and did not want to leave Chen Sheng. However, Chen Sheng was also desperate at this time. He ordered to rush back to Chen County immediately to find a way out.

The carriage galloped along the original road towards Chen County, but Chen Sheng still beat Jia Fu again and again and insulted his guards on the road. Finally, the dozen or so people became furious. Jia Fu even stopped the carriage and started talking to the remaining few

The guards set up a fire on the roadside, and several people gathered around the fire to keep warm.

Chen Sheng was shivering with cold on the carriage. He hated himself and these personal guards who disobeyed orders. This time, Zhang Chuguo was really doomed.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Chen Sheng pulled out his bronze sword and wanted to personally deal with the driver who did not obey his orders. However, Chen Sheng had been addicted to alcohol and sex in the past few years, and his body was no longer what it used to be. After several rounds of fighting,

Chen Sheng was stabbed in the vital part by Jia Fu's sword and died in the snow.

The blood turned into ice slag, and Jia Fu knew he was in trouble. He discussed with everyone, threw Chen Sheng in the wilderness, and hurriedly rode his horse towards Chen County.

...

The Qin army marched southward in large numbers, and Chen County was even more turbulent. The people fled in a hurry and wanted to leave Chen County, but Captain Li Yong ordered that the city gates be closed tightly and no one was allowed to leave or enter the city.

For Li Yong, it was an unwise decision for Chen Sheng to lead thousands of personal guards to Zhang He's camp. After all, Zhang Han's more than 400,000 troops and horses were so huge and his troops so elite. As the leader of a country,

If he wanted to fight against the Qin army, Chen Sheng's only way out was to hold on to Chen County and wait for reinforcements from all directions to arrive.

After all, Chen Sheng was the first to raise the righteous flag. Zhao, Qi and Wei would not sit idly by. As long as Chen County can hold on for two months, reinforcements from all walks of life will arrive. By then, Zhang Han's army will be exhausted and morale is low.

After destroying it, and then adding more troops to advance, Guanzhong can be wiped out in one fell swoop.

But after all, Li Yong is just a small captain. He has no right to participate in Zhang Chujun's core meeting, and it is impossible to express his opinions to Chen Sheng. At this time, the only thing he can do is to strictly guard Chen County before Chen Sheng returns.

.

After the heavy snowfall, the wind continued, and the city was extremely cold. Li Yong, wearing a thick fur coat and armor, was patrolling the city tower. At this time, not far away, on the galloping road, more than a dozen riders were faintly visible on the horseback.

Soon, more than ten riders came to the city. The leader held up the token and shouted: "Your Majesty has ordered me to take over Chen County with full authority and open the city gate quickly!"

The person who came was Jia Fu. At this time, a bamboo basket was put down on the tower. Jia Fu rode his horse and put the token on the bamboo basket. At this time, the bamboo basket was pulled back to the tower. On the tower, Li Yong carefully

The observation token is indeed Chen Sheng's personal token.

Li Yong leaned over and looked at the city again. There were only about ten people there. It didn't look like they were trying to trick the city. After thinking for a while, Li Yong finally gave the order: "Open the city! Let them come in."

...

Jia Fu returned to the city, took over Chen County, appointed Li Yong as his deputy general, mobilized soldiers and horses, and went up to the city to garrison to guard against the Qin army.
