Text Chapter 198 A sneak attack on the Qin army camp (second update)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    About five miles away from Handan City to the west, here happens to be a relatively flat land.  Here, the endless tents are surrounded by layers of wooden fences, and they look a bit foresty.

    But it may be that the city gate has been broken, and many of the protective wooden fences around the camp have been removed at this moment.

    This is the camp at the rear of the Qin army, because the siege from the front has reached the most critical moment, and even the commander-in-chief Zhang Han personally led the troops there, leaving only a guard force of less than 2,000 people.  There are about three thousand wounded soldiers among them.

    At the same time, here is the food and grass that the Qin army relies on for survival.  Although there are not many left now, they can still support the Qin army for a while.  And once Handan City is breached, everything will be solved.

    Suddenly, a dark figure in the distance appeared in sight.  The Qin army who was on guard at first was a little confused. For some reason, the Qin army who stayed here were either injured or had relaxed their vigilance. Most of the two thousand people left behind were responsible for taking care of those who had been attacked before.  Only about three hundred of the injured companions were still standing guard.

    After discovering the dark figure in the distance, they did not immediately arouse enough alertness, but subconsciously thought it was friendly troops who had withdrawn from the front line.

    A Qin Army general looked at it from a distance, but he didn¡¯t say much, and his face wasn¡¯t too nervous.

    According to his idea, most of the Korean troops in the entire Handan County were defeated by the former General Zhang Han, and it was unlikely that they would come to rescue again.  And reinforcements from other places will not arrive so quickly.  So the first reaction in my heart.  That means the group of people in front are friendly forces, and the direction is not the same

    "That's not right!"

    Suddenly the general¡¯s expression changed, because he suddenly discovered that although the position of the figure was indeed in the direction of Handan City, upon closer inspection, there was a deviation.

    Handan City should be facing due east, but the figure is also coming from the east.  But vaguely, it came from the southeast.

    "It's a pity that the Qin Army general's reaction was still a little too slow.  When he realized something was wrong, he did not immediately order the personnel in the military camp to be alert because of the doubts in his heart. Instead, he naively thought that maybe he had made a mistake in judgment.

    After all, Qin Jun was the coach this time.  General Zhang Han once judged that even if there were troops rushing to aid Handan City, it would take at least two or three days to arrive.  That's why the general attack was launched at this time today, which happened to be the time when the Korean army defending the city was the most exhausted and weak, and the reinforcements had not yet arrived.

    The result of the city¡¯s destruction also showed that Zhang Han¡¯s judgment was correct. For Zhang Han, his group of people had blind worship, so this general also did the same, and did not arouse enough danger awareness.

    But when he saw that the dark group of people were not friendly forces.  It's too late to order!

    "Demacia!"

    With overwhelming roars, thousands of people rushed into the military camp under the stunned gaze of the Qin army who stayed behind. They broke through the wooden fence and instantly chopped down the hundreds of Qin soldiers who were guarding the camp.  Then he rushed into the military camp like a wolf and a tiger.

    "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

    As the panicked Qin Army shouted, the Qin Army in the military camp reacted, but it was too late.  Not to mention that most of them were wounded soldiers and did not have much combat effectiveness. Even the two thousand people who stayed behind were in front of several times the number of enemies.  After only resisting for less than half an hour, they were completely defeated.

    "Protect food and grass!"

    When they saw that the enemy's target turned out to be the most important food and grass, the remaining Qin troops tried their best to protect it, but the gap between the two sides was too big.  Soon after, a raging fire broke out.

    "It seems that the judgment was somewhat wrong. Judging from the amount of food and grass, it can still support tens of thousands of people for at least ten days."

    It was the eight thousand troops led by Liu Bang who broke into the military camp. It must be said that the plan went much smoother than he expected.  Originally, he thought that even if he successfully attacked here, there would definitely be a certain degree of losses, even if thousands of people were killed or injured, it was understandable.

    But judging from the results, the casualty rate was not even 300!  Most of them were injured, and less than a hundred people died!

    At this moment, the Qin army's food and grass have been ignited. Needless to say, the most important part of their plan has been completed.  Regardless of the outcome, the Qin army that lost their food and grass would at least suffer a heavy blow.

    "Indeed, I didn't expect that Zhang Han could carry so much food and grass. His ability is even higher than expected."

    Zhang Liang¡¯s face was a little pale. Originally, Liu Bang didn¡¯t want her to follow him in. After all, she was different from Fan Hui, Lu Wan and other women. As a military advisor, she could only stay at the rear.  But she didn't want Liu Bang to divide his troops to protect herBut Liang insisted on coming together. Fortunately, the danger was not great this time.

    And now looking at the burning Qin army's food and grass, she was somewhat surprised.

    The resistance of the Qin army was getting weaker and weaker. Under the pursuit of Liu Bang's troops, few of the wounded soldiers were willing to surrender, and they would fight to the death.  This also caused the casualties on Liu Bang's side to gradually increase.

    Seeing this scene, Liu Bang's eyes flashed with complexity. Just when he was about to order his men to suppress them bloodyly and kill them if they didn't surrender, he heard Zhang Liang's dissuasion.

    "Brother Liu, make way for a gap leading to Handan City, and let this group of Qin troops escape there."

    Zhang Liang pointed in the direction of Handan City, and Liu Bang was stunned.  Their biggest purpose this time was to burn the Qin army's food and grass, and then, if possible, try to kill the Qin army's effective strength, thereby causing huge consumption to Zhang Han.

    Why did Zhang Liang let these thousands of Qin troops flee?  After letting them join Zhang Han, not only will Zhang Han have more troops, but he will even be able to know what is happening here?

    However, Liu Bang did not ask further questions about Zhang Liang's trust, but immediately gave the order.  After receiving the order, Liu Bang's troops consciously opened a gap, and the next moment, the Qin army who desperately resisted also discovered that the encirclement had loosened.

    No matter what, people are afraid of death. The Qin army, which was still resisting desperately in the situation of death, after seeing the opportunity to escape, of course most people still chose to escape.

    Among them, several generals of the Qin army who stayed here made a decisive decision. They immediately gathered the participating troops and rushed towards the gap.

    Although the process was extremely smooth, those Qin soldiers did not have the time to consider the flaws at this moment.  Moreover, those generals discovered that this direction was the location of Handan City, and they immediately felt happy, thinking that once they merged with the Qin Army's large forces, the Qin Army's tens of thousands of troops would be able to mop up these thousands of intruders and sneak attacks.  Isn¡¯t it easy for the enemy troops?

    Looking at the two to three thousand remnants of the Qin army leaving, most of the Qin soldiers still in the barracks either surrendered or were killed, and Liu Bang's men also began to mop up.

    It has to be said that here, there is a certain amount of elite armor and weapons of the Qin army. Compared with these things, those of Liu Bang's people are much cruder.  After discovering this, Liu Bang's people swept away like locusts, switching from shotguns to cannons in an instant.

    "I always feel that the combat effectiveness of the Qin army staying here is much weaker than imagined."

    Liu Bang had personally charged on the front line before. After personally experiencing the strength of the Qin army staying here, his doubts became more and more serious.  Although it's not bad, it doesn't look as tough as the elite Tiger Guards.

    If it weren¡¯t for the banner of the Qin Army hanging here, he would have doubted whether he was in the wrong place.

    "Brother Liu, do you still remember what the Nu family said before that Zhang Han's real strength cannot be 50,000, is it still the Tiger Guard of less than 30,000?"

    "You mean, those people just now were not the Qin army?"

    "No, those people are the Qin Army, but they are not the Tiger Guards!"

    Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to understand something, and was a little surprised, "You mean, Zhang Han recruited part of the Qin Dynasty's local army? And then added his original more than 20,000 troops to make up the 50,000 people?"

    "If the slave family's prediction is correct, nearly 30,000 of the 50,000 people are part of the Qin Dynasty's local army recruited by Zhang Han, as well as some slaves from various places. A few days ago, those who attacked the city every day,  It was also these Qin Dynasty local troops and slaves who worked hard.¡±

    Although Liu Bang did not know what was happening to Handan City over there, he also knew that Handan City might not be spared today.  But it has always been strange. Since the Qin army has such fighting power, why has it been unable to break the city before?

    Thinking about it now, it seems that Zhang Han did not want to waste the elite Tiger Guards due to excessive siege, but let the local army and slave labor serve as cannon fodder.  But today, the troops came in one fell swoop.

    "But to be able to use a group of local soldiers and slave labor to such an extent, Zhang Han is indeed a very capable person!"

    Vaguely, he remembered that in history, Zhang Han had only been defeated a few times in his life, and there were indeed not many famous generals in the world who could defeat him.  Looking at it now, there are indeed some ways.  If it weren't for the treacherous ministers in Xianyang of the Qin Dynasty who were not willing to give him too many troops, otherwise the many rebel armies in this world might not have had much good life.

    "Now, Zhang Han should know about the changes in the camp here. What should he choose next? The Nu family is really looking forward to it. I don't know what decision this rumored famous figure in the Qin Dynasty will make."

    Soon, everything that could be looted in the Qin army¡¯s camp was plundered almost like a bandit.After light, the fire of grain and grass over there also spread to all places.  After evacuating from the Qin army's camp, Liu Bang did not choose to leave, but went straight to the direction of Handan City.

    When he saw the city wall of Handan City appearing in the distance, Liu Bang also saw from a distance that under the huge city wall with fire and smoke, countless Qin troops risked their lives and did not give up the attack.  city.  (To be continued)
