Chapter 175
The Qin army took advantage of the Chu-Han dispute to lobby for Yan territory, but did not cause much response. At this moment, Zhang County had been occupied by Zhou Bo leading 30,000 troops in a lightning momentum, while Xiangzhuang was isolated between Jiujiang and Zha County.
In Danyang City, Xiang Zhuang wanted to take the opportunity to attack Gaocheng, because Gaocheng is currently the capital of the Han Kingdom. Even though Xiahou Ying and others were outside, Cao Shen and others were still guarding the city, so they did not dare to advance easily. However, in Gaocheng at this moment, there were no heavy troops at all, but they were just observing the situation of the two armies.
The news of the attack on Zhang County reached Danyang in just a few days. When Xiang Zhuang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. After all, there was no news when the Chu army came, and it was only a few days ago. The barrier was the only barrier in Kuaiji.
In the Chu camp, the Central Army Minister stood aside and looked at Xiang Zhuang helplessly, "Report to General, the matter has come to this point, and you still need to make plans early. I am so sad that Gaocheng and Zhang County will send troops at the same time, what can I do?"
Xiang Zhuang's face was erratic and he still doubted: "This matter has not been confirmed yet, so let the soldiers report it again! It must be a negligence in the middle! There are rivers in front and behind Zhang County, how could it be suddenly broken!"
The minister did not dare to say anything and wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. While walking back and forth, a report soldier came and replied anxiously to Xiangzhuang again: "Report to General, Zhang County is indeed no longer a Chu!"
Xiang Zhuang was really panicked now, "Gaocheng is right in front of you, and you never thought there was a fire in the backyard! This is my fault. I wonder how much the Chu army still has to fight?"
"Report to General, 20,000 people can fight hard!" The Central Army Minister replied loudly.
"Very good. Now you can't attack the city now. You can only return to a desperate battle. Otherwise, Kuaiji will be owned by the Han Dynasty. Jiangdong is the old place of the army. Who dares not fight to the death!" Xiang Zhuang said in thought, and then ordered the army to go to war!
The Minister had long been interested in fighting, and Danyang was the border of Jiujiang. If the troops were not sent as soon as possible, Gaocheng and Zhangxian would form a junction, and the situation would probably be difficult to recover in a while.
Thinking of this, the Minister immediately whispered: "Report to the general that he still needs to send troops early. Now that the troops and food are in full, we need to fight in an urgent manner. Cross the Zhang River and attack Zhang County directly. If we don't capture it for a long time, Kuaiji may not be owned by us."
"It's reasonable, quickly call the troops and fight back tonight!" Xiang Zhuang immediately ordered!
At this moment, Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others were observing the situation in Shouchun, Danyang and other places. In their opinion, although Xiang Zhuang was a military general, he would not dare to send troops easily, so Zhou Bo would just stabilize Zhang County and eliminate the will of the Chu army.
On the evening of that day, Xiangzhuang led 20,000 troops, and first led 2,000 troops to build a bridge on the Zhang River. Now it is autumn and winter. In order to get Kuaiji, the Chu army all raised their clothes to cross the river.
It was not until around the Chou Time that all the Chu troops had just finished crossing the river. Xiangzhuang immediately ordered to station on the spot, eat some dry food, and launch an attack after half an hour.
In Zhang County, Zhou Bo patrols and guards every day. In addition to losing thousands of soldiers when he was captured, he has basically recovered his vitality. Later, he circled the city to support tens of thousands of soldiers, resulting in more than 10,000 soldiers in the city. Moreover, Zhang County is located in the south of the Yangtze River, mostly with mountains and rivers, and does not require too many soldiers to guard them.
After changing to the last group of city guards, Zhou Bo went back to his room to rest. As for Xiangzhuang, he walked forward with grass at night, and did not dare to make any noise. All countries covered their faces with soil and kept silent.
The Central Army Minister was the vanguard and was the first to see the bright lights of Zhang County. The archers of the premise team walked slowly forward in a low voice, and the army ladders on both sides hid in the shrubs.
With the order of the central army, the archers quickly stood up, and three thousand bows and arrows shot towards the west gate of Zhang County like rain. Two rounds of bows and arrows, the escalator army immediately followed, and set up ladders on the city wall. The soldiers behind saw the situation and rushed forward. In just a moment, the Minister of the Central Army had already led his army to occupy the west gate.
All the soldiers of Xiangzhuang arrived at this moment. The central army immediately opened the city gate. The Han army would never have expected this situation in the city. Many military supervisors immediately organized a team, and a thousand people gathered together to resist the Chu army desperately. The Chu army passed by Danyang for three days, and the horses stopped and rushed to Zhangxian. They opened a west gate with the momentum. They were even more happy. The Han army was confused and the Chu army was in full swing, so the situation of the two armies was clear at a glance.
Zhou Bo was sleeping soundly in the mansion, but for a moment, he was woken up by the guards from outside. Before he could get angry, the soldier said anxiously: "General, Ximen has been captured by the Chu army. All three supervisors were killed in battle. Five thousand soldiers retreated. It seems that they are not the opponent of the Chu army at all!"
Zhou Bo, who was in a daze, didn't know what happened at this moment, asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this? This is Zhang County, how can the Chu army break the truth!"
"I have to report to the general that soldiers are very fast. Moreover, the Chu army has been in Danyang for many days and there was no news. It is unexpected that it is also expected that the general will make a decision!" The soldiers still comforted him.
Zhou Bo was not vague, so he immediately put on his military uniform and walked out of the mansion. At this moment, all the Ximen had been occupied by the Chu army. Zhou Bo led two military supervisors to slightly integrate 5,000 soldiers.
Xiang Zhuang was very happy at this moment. He thought that capturing Zhang County would inevitably lead to the loss of troops and generals. He never thought that today was so simple that he captured a city in Zhang County in half an hour.
Zhou Bo led the remaining soldiers to the North Manchuria, and happened to meet Xiang Zhuang Xiang Yu. Xiang Zhuang once met Zhou Bo in Kuaiji. He knew that he was extremely brave but had no strategy.
The two of them were each Chu and Han. The atmosphere was rising when they met. Xiang Zhuang held a spear and headed straight for Zhou Bo, "Old man, it's really hateful to steal my Zhang County while I entered Danyang!"
Zhou Bo was also unwilling to be outdone, "How can you know that the city is the city of the people, how can the Chu and Han government come from? I am not afraid of you!"
The two of them shot and halberds, wore armor and had no war horses, and they even started fighting on the main road. Xiang Zhuang stepped forward and pointed directly at Zhou Bo's chest with a spear. His gunshot technique was sharp and he had no intention of tolerance.
Zhou Bo pressed the bronze halberd down, suddenly rose up, barely turning Xiang Zhuang's spear back. Xiang Zhuang sneered in his heart, turned around and hit Zhou Bo's waist. Zhou Bo had no intention of blocking it at this moment, but instead stabbed Xiang Zhuang with his halberd to the top of Xiang Zhuang's head. Seeing this, Xiang Zhuang had to retreat and avoid Zhou Bo's attack.
During the fight, guns and halberds intersect, like dragons fighting each other, dragons roaring thousands of miles into tigers roaring in the mountains, and they have been fighting for a long time, but they still have no choice but to win or lose.
Just at this time, the soldiers of the Chu and Han armies were already exhausted, but the Chu army still had an advantage. Seeing that Zhou Bo had no intention of stopping, the Han army had to shout, "General, let's go, the north gate is still there!"
Zhou Bo suddenly reacted and led the remaining troops to escape to the north gate. Xiang Zhuang originally wanted to chase him out, but time was tight and the soldiers worked hard all night, so he ordered the city to be rectified and no longer pursued Zhou Bo.
This battle can be said to be a battle of back-to-earth battle, and life and death were a big ferocious thing in Chu State. As for Zhou Bo, he went out to the west and walked to the edge of the Zhang River. He fled along the Zhang River for several hours before he stopped to set up camp, preparing to rest for a while, and then went north along the Zhang River.
