It was almost midnight, and there were few lights in the Han army camp on the north bank of the Yellow River, and there were snoring everywhere. The soldiers of the Han army backs sleeping outside the camp were also tilted, and the snoring and sleeping sounds were rising one after another. Although the sentry was still trying to open their eyes wide and yawned carefully to be alert to the movements and surroundings of the river, they were also sleepy and their eyelids were as heavy as a thousand pounds.

This behavior of the Han army soldiers was very normal. During the fierce battle during the day, due to the severe lack of rockets, tiny oil and other water fighting weapons, the Han army soldiers mainly approached the guard positions in person and hand-to-hand combat, and their physical strength was consumed very much. The soldiers of the Han army back team who arrived at noon immediately entered the battle after a marching. The physical strength was only greater than that of the former teammates, and they were exhausted from the top and bottom. This would be difficult to have a chance to rest. Of course, the Han army soldiers slept more heavily than the other.

At this moment, on the gentle river surface, dozens of fast ships rowed and paddled under the cover of night, quietly approaching the north bank of the Yellow River. They also cunningly avoided the dock positions that the Han army sentries were monitoring, and rushed to the downstream of the dock to land. After these fast ships, twenty large ships loaded with soldiers followed quietly, without lighting the lights, and tried not to make any sound, and sailed sneakily towards the ferry terminal.

The first clutch successfully rushed to the shallow beach. The soldiers on the boat jumped into shallow water, rushed to the river bank as fast as possible, and the Clippers behind followed suit, and soon many carefully selected Henan soldiers successfully climbed to the south bank and quickly assembled into teams under the cover of night.

It was after more than 300 Henan Army warriors successfully landed, and the Han army sentry standing guard nearby discovered that something was wrong and quickly rang the gong to call the police. After hearing the gong, the Henan Army's commando no longer concealed their whereabouts. The soldiers who had not yet landed tried hard to rush to the shallows to land. The Henan army warriors who had already landed quickly raised a flag and roared to the Han army rear team sleeping in the wilderness.

At the same time, when he heard the sound of the alarm gong, the Henan army ship that followed immediately lit a torch, shaking and charging hard, and rushed to the ferry wharf with few lights as quickly as possible. In addition, the Henan army fleet, which had already been filled with soldiers, also set off together, beating the war drums and rushing straight to the north bank of the Yellow River. The Henan army general Sun Yin, who led the army to launch this night attack, was still yelling with red eyes, "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"

As Li Zuoche expected, the Han army, which was not even suitable for tents, was indeed seriously insufficient preparation. Even if the sentry sent out a warning signal in time, the exhausted Han army soldiers could not immediately gather and dispatch to reinforce the dock to resist the landing of the Henan army. The Henan army's assault team was very clear, and they were to assault the Han army's camps to kill the Han army and cover the landing of the Henan army. Therefore, the Han army soldiers who were sleeping outside the camp were basically awakened, and the Henan commando had already reached their front and could only be forced to fight in a hurry.

With preparation and attacking but not, the Henan Army assault team, composed of elite soldiers, naturally gained the upper hand in the melee. With lightning speed, the Han army rear team led by Chongda was quickly killed in chaos. Not to mention sending troops to reinforce the dock, it was quite difficult to protect himself, and he suffered a great loss when he caught him off guard.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Henan Army's troops transport ships rushed into the Han Army's dock position one after another. As soon as the ship's side approached the dock, the soldiers on the ship jumped on the side and landed on the river bank with their weapons and fiercely fought fiercely with the Han army soldiers guarding the dock. The landing soldiers were still endless and soon occupied a local advantage in force.

At the same time, the front team of the Han army stationed in the camp hurriedly came out to gather the Housing, but the Han army general Zhou made a fatal mistake at this moment, which was to send the first reinforcements to reinforce the Han army's rear team that was killed by the enemy, and did not give priority to reinforce the dock to block the landing of the Henan army's rear team - Henan King Sima Se can definitely forgive Uncle Zhou. After all, people have time to be confused. Uncle Zhou, who was finally dug from Wei, occasionally made a mistake. His Highness Sima Sema Se is definitely understandable, and he wished Uncle Zhou would make a few similar confusions.

Uncle Zhou's tactical mistakes certainly gave the Henan army a chance to land quickly. Before the Han army had time to send reinforcements to the wharf, the Henan army soldiers on twenty troop transport ships roared and rushed to the wharf one after another, and rushed to the wharf like tigers down the mountain. The Han army soldiers were in a hurry and could not take care of it. Although they had gathered up the courage to fight, they still could not stop the soldiers rushing towards the Henan army. They were killed and retreated step by step, and lost many vital positions one after another.

It was still when the front teams of the Henan army almost rushed to the north shore that Zhou Shu woke up from his dream and hurriedly sent reinforcements to the wharf. However, it was too late to do so. The defense line for resisting red deer antlers had long been broken by the Henan army, the sheep and horse wall positions were all seized by the Henan army, the fences were destroyed, and most of the arrow towers were ignited. The advantage of fortifications was completely gone. They could only get close to their hands and fight against Henan's Rutun offensive.

Even so, the Han army soldiers still did not give up. The soldiers on the front line gritted their teeth and fought to the death. The reinforcements behind them were also coming, shouting and launching multiple counter-charges to try to regain the ferry position. However, there was no way. The Han army soldiers who failed to get enough rest were insufficient physical strength. The first batch of Henan army soldiers who came ashore were all full-strength new forces. The tactical purpose was to defend the ferry position and wait for the main brigade to come ashore to reinforce. Therefore, no matter how the Han army soldiers charged, they could never drive the Henan army back to the river and regain the crucial ferry position.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the Henan Army's subsequent troop transport fleet also successfully leaned on the north bank of the Yellow River. More soldiers rushed to the land with torches, completely shattering all the hope of the Han army soldiers regaining the ferry position. After quickly completing the assembly, they defeated the Han army soldiers on the opposite side with just one charge, and rushed to the Han army camp that was disrupted by the Henan army's suicide squad.

At this point, the defeat of the Han army was basically destined, but Uncle Zhou's expression was still extremely calm. He continued to wait patiently in the Han army camp with his direct troops. After nearly five o'clock in the morning, Uncle Zhou ordered: "Jing Jin, retreat to Zhuguan."

The golden horn sounded, and the Han generals who had received instructions in advance immediately led their troops to retreat north. Uncle Zhou also took his direct army to give up the camp, left the camp from the north gate, personally took on the heavy responsibility of the rear guard, and covered the Han army brigade, which had been organized and was retreating to the gate. The soldiers of Henan army cheered and pursued them to their fullest, venting all the anger accumulated by the unfavorable attack during the day on the defeated Han army, and also seriously inflicted a large number of casualties for the Han army.

At the same time, when Sima Seo saw the Han army defeated on the south bank high ground, he was of course excited and praised Li Zuoche, who was planning to attack, but Li Zuoche looked calm and said with regret: "Shubi Zhou is indeed good at using troops. If he retreats a little later, we will definitely win more victories tonight."

"It's okay! It's okay!" Sima Seo said with a smile: "Just take back Pingyin Ferry. If you take back the ferry on the north bank, our main force can easily cross the river, and then it will be much easier to deal with the Han thief army."

"King, my subordinates are about to tell you this." Li Zuoche hurriedly said to Sima Seo: "After regaining the ferry, our main force must not cross the river. Sending a side force to go north to block the pass is enough. Otherwise, if our main force all crosses the Yellow River and Xiang Kang's son will launch a large-scale attack from Hangu Pass, our trouble will be great."

"Guangwu Jun is still suspecting that the Han thieves are just feinting attacks on Hanoi?" Sima Seo said in surprise: "The Han thieves attacked so fiercely in Hanoi, and tonight they fought so fiercely for Pingyin Ferry. That little bit of it seemed like they were feinting attacks."

"In order to lead us across the river, Uncle Zhou must pretend to be more and more beautiful." Li Zuoche said calmly: "Anyway, please be cautious and never risk crossing the Yellow River, otherwise we should not say that our Sanchuan important area will be in danger, and our main force will be completely in a passive position."

I really don’t understand why Li Zuoche insisted that the Han army was just a feint attack in Hanoi, and Sima Seo didn’t want to argue with Li Zuoche, who had just made great contributions to him. He just made up his mind to figure out the specific situation on the north bank as soon as possible, and then decide whether to personally lead the main force of the Henan army to cross the Yellow River north.

The fierce battle on the north bank was not declared to end until the next day's sky was clear. The Henan army finally won the first victory after the war with the Han army, beheading more than 2,600 pieces, and capturing more than 300 Han soldiers. Not only did they successfully regain control of the crucial Pingyin Ferry, they also seized the camp supplies that the Han army was forced to give up, and they were very angry that they were shamelessly attacked by the Han army. Sima Seo was overjoyed, and he immediately sent people to investigate the situation of the pass, and also sent people to interrogate the captured Han army captives and grasp the support of the Han army.

The result of interrogating the prisoners was quickly reported to Sima Sei. The Han army's captives were also very consistent. It is said that Xiang Kang was personally leading the main force of the Han army to fight to Hanoi and would arrive at Zhuo Pass soon. Sima Sei was shocked when he heard the news and ordered all the main forces of the Henan army to cross the river almost immediately. Li Zuoche hurriedly stopped him and said, "Be careful, how can you believe the words of the young soldiers? You must prevent Zhou Shupin deliberately spread rumors to his soldiers and use the mouths of his soldiers to confuse our army's judgment."

Sima Seo was extremely hesitant and said for a while: "Then wait a little longer. Anyway, the ferry has been brought back, so we won't fight for this day or two."

The facts proved that Li Zuoche's suspicion was indeed very reasonable. In the afternoon, an urgent report came from Shan County, saying that the Han army general Zhu Jishi led 16,000 troops out of the customs two days ago and rushed towards Shan County, located at the westernmost end of Sanchuan County. Sima Seo did not dare to take it lightly when he heard the news, so he quickly asked the messenger of Shan County: "Can the Han thieves have a rear army?"

"Great the king, the Han thieves had blocked Hangu Pass four days ago and were not allowed to enter and exit, so we don't know if the Han thieves have a rear army." The messenger of Shan County replied truthfully.

"Bad!" Sima Seo cursed, then thought for a moment, and then said to his confidants: "Will Xiang Kang's son be a feint attack on Sanchuan and actually attacking Hanoi? Otherwise, why did he only send more than 10,000 troops to Hangu Pass west? I remember that we had a detailed report before, Xiang Kang's son sent more than 30,000 troops to advance westward."

"King, this possibility cannot be ruled out." Du Wanda said quickly: "Xiang Kang's son deliberately sent a side disciple to come out from Hangu Kanto to lure our main force to the west to meet the enemy. Then he took the opportunity to attack Hanoi in a large-scale manner, and he could easily take down our Hanoi County."

"Du Shaofu, what evidence do you have to prove your analysis?" Li Zuoche asked calmly: "How do you dare to be sure that there is no thief army brigade after the Zhuji Shi thief army?"

"Only Zhu Jishi, a thief, came out of seclusion, this is the evidence." Du Wanda immediately replied: "Our detailed investigation was accurate. Zhu Jishi led his army eastward with Long Qi. If the Han thief really prepared to attack Sanchuan, why didn't Long come out of seclusion?"

Sima Sei nodded slightly, but it happened to be a coincidence that at this time, an urgent report was sent to the north bank, saying that the Henan army had made detailed and clear explorations, and another Han army arrived at the gate of Zhiguan to reinforce. When Sima Seiju asked about the number of reinforcements from the Han army, Beiban replied helplessly: "Report to the king, the Han thief army has strictly blocked the gate of Zhiguan. Our people cannot pass the gate of Zhiguan to investigate carefully, and they still don't know how many enemies come."

"Bare!" Sima Seo cursed again, then shouted: "Go and check it out carefully. If there is any situation, report it immediately!"

After taking the order carefully, Sima Sei thought about it again, and then asked Li Zuoche: "Guangwu Jun, Du Aiqing asked very well just now. Two thieves, Long Qi and Zhu Jishi, led their troops eastward, why are there only one thief army in Zhu Jishi coming out of the pass?"

"Because there is no need for the Han thief army to go out together." Li Zuoche replied: "Shan County has suffered consecutive military disasters, and there is little soldiers in the city and food is short. Zhu Jishi's thief army is enough to quickly take down Shan County. Long Qi has no need for Zhu Jishi to go out quickly, and can calmly escort the food and grass army to advance eastward."

Sima Sei nodded again, and then said, "Don't worry, wait a moment. I will not cross the river easily without seeing the rabbit or showing off the eagle. I will not understand the main attack direction of Xiang Kang's child."

"The king is wise." Li Zuoche praised sincerely and said, "As long as the king can calm down and not be confused by the illusion set by Xiang Kang's children, his tricks will definitely be completely exposed soon."

Li Zuoche praised it too early. When it was dark that day, Sima Seo began to shake again, because the North Bank sent an urgent report that it was said that after Uncle Zhou led the defeated army to withdraw from the gate of Zang Pass, he did not directly retreat through Zang Pass to avoid it. Instead, he chose to establish a camp outside the gate of Zang Guandong. At the same time, the Henan Army also clearly saw that there were many flags behind Zang Pass and there were definitely not a few troops. Sima Seo was upset and said in his heart: "Is Xiang Kang's son really planning to attack Hanoi in full swing? Otherwise, Zhou Shup's husband should have retreated through Zang Pass to guard the gate. Why should he set up a camp outside Zang Guandong Pass to protect the road for Han thieves to enter Hanoi?"

The next day, the Henan army from Mianchi reported that it was Zhu Jishi who led the Han army eastward, and did not rush to attack the small town of Shan County. Instead, it established a camp to completely surround the county of Shan County. At the same time, it blocked traffic and did not allow anyone to pass through Shan County. It did not conduct detailed investigations on the situation of Hangu Pass for the Henan army. As a result, let alone Sima Sei, even Li Zuoche would inevitably be suspicious and said to himself: "Is Xiang Kang's son really planning to attack Henoi? Otherwise, why wouldn't he rush to take down the small town of Shan County?"

Li Zuoche is still like this. Du Wanda, who had always had the opposite opinion of Li Zuoche, was certainly even more rude. He quickly said to Sima Seo: "King, the situation is already very obvious. The Han thief came out of Hangu Guandong and was definitely just a feint attack, wanting to divert the tiger from the mountain to trick our main force into Wuhandao. Otherwise, with the strength of Zhu Jishi's son, how could he choose to encircle Shanxian without attacking? Wouldn't he be afraid of wasting time?"

Sima Seo hesitated and did not speak. Du Wanda was even more anxious and said hurriedly: "Master, you can't hesitate anymore. If you don't take advantage of the main force of the Han thief to get back the pass before the main force of the Han thief arrived and give the main force the Han thief a chance to enter Hanoi in large numbers, then we will be in great trouble. In the case of an emergency, Zhao will definitely take advantage of our Handan to rob us. We were blocked by the Han thief on the south bank and could not cross the river. If the Han thief successfully took Hanoi and forced Ao Cang, then we would be completely in trouble."

Considering the dangerous consequences of the Han army's massive storm into Hanoi, Sima Seo hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's reasonable, and I'll order the entire army to cross the river immediately and take our gates back first."

"King..." Li Zuoche said with great hesitation and lack of confidence: "How about waiting?"

"Guangwu Jun, it's not that I don't listen to your advice, but that's the situation now, we can't wait any longer." Sima Zuo said with a serious expression: "The fighter opportunity is fleeting. If we cannot regain the Zang Pass as soon as possible, and give the Han thief brigade time to reinforce Hanoi, we will fall into a complete passiveness. We can only take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Han thief has not arrived and regain the Zang Pass as soon as possible, so that we can be foolproof."

After saying that, Sima Seo took the initiative to say: "We don't have to worry too much on the Western Front. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We first sent Wei Heng to lead 10,000 troops west to Mianchi for defense. Xiang Kang's son even had a million troops, and it was impossible for him to quickly break through to Wuanchi. If there is any change, we can turn around and advance west immediately to rescue Mianchi."

Li Zuoche frowned. While he was also somewhat suspicious of the direction of the Han army's main attack, Li Zuoche did not stick to his own ideas too much. He just said: "King, for caution, it is best to leave an army in Henan County to prevent it."

Sima Xie nodded and immediately dispatched 10,000 troops to Henan County to set up defenses. At the same time, he ordered Wei Heng to let the Mianchi garrison stand on the dangerous side when the Han army came, and not to risk going out to fight. Then Sima Xie did not hesitate anymore, and led the Henan army across the Yellow River that day and rushed towards the gate with great momentum.

It was only after the main force of the Henan Army had crossed the Yellow River in full, Li Zuoche thought of a possibility and said intimately: "Can Xiang Kang's son fishing big fish with a long line? He deliberately sacrificed some time to surround Shan County without fighting, so as to further confuse our judgment."

…………

Li Zuoche guessed this time very correctly, because on the same morning, Xiang Kang had personally led the main force of 50,000 Han troops to Hangu Pass, and met with Long Qi, the general of the Han army who was temporarily stationed in Hangu Pass. Then he immediately joined hands to go east and launched a large-scale attack on the western front of the Henan army. While leaving the pass, Xiang Kang also sent someone to convey a message to Zhu Jishi who surrounded Shan County, saying: "I have already come out of the pass. If you can take down the small town of Shan County for me before you arrive in Shan County, I will be very happy."

The veteran young general Zhu Jishi of the young army did not disappoint Xiang Kang. In the afternoon, Xiang Kang had just arrived at the suburbs of Shaanxi County. At first glance, he saw the red Han army flag floating on the town of Shaanxi County. Xiang Kang laughed happily, called Long Qi to his front, and ordered: "General Long, they are all pioneers. General Zhu Jishi did not disappoint me. It's time to see you now."

"The General of the Imperial Palace understand!" Long Qi immediately said, "The General of the Imperial Palace will lead the troops first. You must take down the Imperial Palace for you before you arrive at the Imperial Palace!"

"No, I don't want you to take down Mianchi." Xiang Kang shook his head and said, "Mianchi City is solid, and Sima Seo sent 10,000 troops to reinforce Mianchi in advance. It will definitely be very difficult to take down Mianchi with your own army."

"Where will the King of Han go to fight?" Long Qi asked in confusion.

"Xin'an!" Xiang Kang's triangular eyes shot green light and said fiercely: "Only take the food and grass for four days, bypass Mianchi and attack Xin'an, and take Xin'an for me before the food and grass is used up. Does General Long have the courage to do this?!"

"Don't worry, I'll be willing to issue a military order!" Long Qi replied word by word.
Chapter completed!
