    The importance of Wuguan can be seen from the fact that it is called the fortress of the Three Qin Dynasties and the throat of Qin and Chu. Historically, when Qin invaded Chu, most of them entered through Wuguan. The terrain is dangerous, with Shaoxi Mountain in the north.  It is surrounded by water on three sides. The entire city is about 1.5 kilometers long. It is built on a relatively flat highland in the canyon and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.  If there had not been internal enemies in the Qin State and a sudden attack by the Chu State, Wuguan would have been extremely difficult to capture.  Qu Wan captured Wuguan and opened the way to enter the Qin State. Two hundred thousand troops swept in. Naturally, he also knew the importance of Wuguan to his army. If Wuguan was captured by the enemy, a letter from the pass and twenty  Even though he knew that the Qin State was now in a group and it was impossible to send troops to recapture Wuguan, Qu Wan did not take it lightly and left a garrison of 10,000 people here.  In addition to ensuring that the Chu army had a safe path forward, Wuguan also became a logistics reserve center for the 200,000-strong army. A large amount of grain, grass, and weapons were transported from Chu to Wuguan, and then distributed to the troops entering Qin.  in hand.  If you want to capture Wuguan, you must first capture Shaoxi Mountain. This is the task of Long Bin, the pioneer group.  After capturing Shaoxi Mountain, set up artillery on the top of the mountain and bombard Wuguan from a high position. Wuguan will inevitably be difficult to defend.  Of course, this strategy of seizing Wuguan could only be carried out by the Han army, because to do this, the first thing is to have sharp weapons such as artillery. If it is just long-range weapons such as trebuchets, it is impossible to defeat Wuguan.  causing serious harm.  The continuous rain for many days successfully covered the Han army's approach, while the Chu army in Wuguan was defeated.  They never thought that there would be a hostile army approaching them. In their minds, they only thought about such bad weather and road conditions.  It is impossible for that army to march, but they forgot that there is an army in this world called the Han Army.  For the generals of the Chu army in Wuguan, letting them station here may be more like a punishment for them, because seizing a large area of ????Qin's land is worthy of a special mention in the history books.  There will be no trace of them.  At present, the southern part of Qin State.  They are all Chu troops, and the Qin State is in a state of complete defeat. Who can threaten Wuguan?  There were originally two thousand troops garrisoned on Shaoxi Mountain, but the continuous rain made the garrison on Shaoxi Mountain miserable.  After getting the consent of the guard Wen Fu, only 500 people were left on Shaoshi Mountain to guard the camp, and the others all withdrew back to the pass.  When the scouts sent by Long Bin found out that there were only 500 defenders on Shaoxi Mountain, they were immediately knocked unconscious by happiness.  "If you don't take what God gives you, you will be punished by God. The rain from God is actually helping us!" Long Bin spread his hands and looked up to the sky with a sigh.  "Oh my God, I have wrongly blamed you these days. I will burn incense for you and offer three sacrifices to you later. Hahaha, the defense of 500 people will save me from losing many people!" A cheerful Long Bin said at the second watch  .  The troops began to march towards Shaoshi Mountain. Although the rain stopped in the sky, the heavy dark clouds were still heavy on the top of the head. Invisible, the forwards of a battalion led by Long Bin secretly sneaked under the cover of night.  The ground was already climbing towards Shao Xi.  The reason why Shaoxi Mountain can become one of the barriers to Wuguan is that it is dangerous. On the mountain road, the narrowest point can only allow two people to walk side by side. If you fight hard, you will indeed have to pay a huge sacrifice, but now, from  Going all the way under the foot of the mountain and less than a hundred meters from the top of the mountain, Long Bin did not encounter any resistance, and the Chu army had no defense at all.  Above his head, he could already see a simple stone wall, which was built with stones and three-piece soil. It was about two meters high. On the top of the wall, an air-dead wind lamp emitted a dim light, but the light was not enough.  Wherever he looked, Long Bin didn't find a single figure.  But a loud commotion could be heard in my ears.  He tilted his ears and listened carefully to the noise. Long Bin couldn't help but laugh. It was probably because the Chu troops on duty were gathering somewhere sheltered from the wind and rain to gamble. These people who were shouting and drinking were probably enjoying themselves.  "First battalion commander, you personally lead a company, climb up, deal with the guards, and open the gate of the camp. Be quick!" Long Bin ordered in a low voice.  "Okay, Commander, just look at me!" A battalion commander smiled softly. Perhaps this will be the easiest battle he has ever experienced. When the previous deduction was performed on the sand table, everyone thought  This is a tough battle, but now it seems that it is easier than suppressing bandits.  A group of black shadows moved under the wall as quickly as a bobcat. The people in the front row squatted on the ground, holding their hands on the ground. The people in the back row jogged a few steps, jumped up suddenly, stepped on the shoulders of the person in front, and then jumped up.  He had already grasped the top of the wall with both hands, strained his waist, retracted his elbows, and climbed up with one leg. Then he rolled over and disappeared on the top of the wall.  Long Bin watched everyone in a row climb over the wall, and his heart that was still holding on was finally relieved.   The first battalion commander was one of the first people to roll over. As soon as he landed, he immediately hid in the shadows under the wall. Not far in front of him, in several tents, the lights were bright, and there were people shouting and drinking.  The sound of gambling came from there. Farther up, there was a neat row of accounting rooms. There were indeed a lot of people stationed here.  A soldier next to him took off a grenade from his waist. The battalion commander glanced at it and stretched out his hand to hold his hand. "Do you need a grenade now? Save it for tough battles. Let's deal with these people with knives and crossbows."  "The soldiers all laughed softly, put back the grenades, took off the crossbows, loaded the crossbow arrows, and quietly moved toward the tents.  Behind him, the wall-closed door had been opened, and hundreds of people from a battalion filed in.  At the bottom of the mountain, a group of officers and soldiers were moving towards the mountain, carrying some heavy weapons. No one expected that they would encounter such a scene.  God bless the man!  Long Bin could only think like this.  The sharp steel knife in the hand of a battalion commander was raised high, and with a flash of light and a chirping sound, the tent was cut open with a large opening. The dozen or so Chu soldiers in the tent raised their heads in astonishment and stared at the gap.  What they saw were crossbow arrows coming towards them like raindrops. The short screams quickly disappeared, and all the Chu troops in the tent fell into a pool of blood.  On Shaoxi Mountain, the Chu army garrison of 500 people was quietly cleared away. In less than one update, Long Bin was already sitting leisurely on the highest point of the mountain, admiring the scenery of Wuguan below. Standing here  From the top of the mountain, you can have a clear view of Wuguan. This kind of checkpoint that guards the strategic area was the most difficult to defeat in the past. If artillery had not been invented, Long Bin would have probably attacked Wuguan, which was guarded by thousands of people, with the cold weapons of the past.  Without several times the number of men and horses, there is no need to think about it. Even if there are several times the number of men and horses, it may not be possible to win. The attack area is too narrow, and the troops and horses cannot be deployed at all. They can only add fuel to the attack one by one.  This Wuguan faces water on three sides and is backed by mountains on the other. It is such a narrow valley passage. It is truly one of the four great passes of the Qin State.  At this moment, in Wuguan, they had no idea that Shaoxi Mountain above their heads had changed hands. The lights inside were brightly lit, reflecting the outline of the entire pass clearly. Long Bin could even tell where was the military camp and where was the grain depot.  , where is the armory.  The Han army on the mountain has already been busy and began to build forts. After dawn, the large troops will arrive, and Shaoxi Mountain will also become an artillery position. From here, they will provide the most intense artillery support for the attack down the mountain.  Mei Hua arrived at nearly five o'clock. His main force finally arrived at the destination within the time specified by Army Commander Yang Dasha. At this moment, the cannons were struggling to be dragged by the soldiers.  Crawling towards the mountains.  "Now it seems that taking Wuguan is much easier than our march." Mei Hua put down the telescope in his hand and looked at Long Bin with a smile, "This doesn't look like a war, but more like an exercise.  "This heavy rain has helped us a lot. The Chu army didn't even send any scouts, which gave us an advantage." Long Bin said with a smile: "Otherwise, this Shaoxi Mountain would have been destroyed by God."  They." Mei Hua laughed.  At the foot of the mountain, in Wuguan City, Zhang Gan, the left-behind general of the Chu army, was reading military reports. What he was good at was not fighting, but logistics coordination. This was why Qu Wan left him in Wuguan. Here, he could give full play to his abilities.  The commander dispatched the materials needed by the Chu army on the front line to various ministries in an orderly manner. In fact, only half of the ten thousand Chu troops stayed in Wuguan, and the rest were rushing on the road to escort the logistical supplies.  But now his brows furrowed tightly. The war in the southern part of Qin State had undergone some changes. Originally, the southern frontier troops who had escaped from Qin State had asked General Qu to surrender, but suddenly they changed their minds.  , actually joined forces with the Xuanyi guards who were chasing them. General Qu suffered a moderate loss and lost tens of thousands of soldiers. Fortunately, General Qu had already captured Sanchuan County and suffered this loss.  Qu Wan was obviously not ready to swallow this breath. Now he was gathering the Chu army in the south, preparing to fight the two Qin armies. If these two armies were destroyed, Chu would be able to smoothly annex the southern part of Qin.  Go down and digest it slowly, otherwise there will be variables.  However, Zhang Qian was a little uneasy. Qin Jun's sudden change gave him a hint of ominousness.  However, this was not something he could consider. In the military report, Qu Wan ordered him to escort more grain, grass, and weapons to Sanchuan County. He had assembled a main force of nearly 150,000 people to fight with the Xuanyi Guards and the southern frontier army.  The Qin army of more than 70,000 people fought in a decisive battle.  Or, this is the last battle of this expedition. After winning this battle, Qin will no longer be able to regain the southern land, and all Chu has to do is slowly digest the fruits of victory.  But, will the powerful Han State in the north watch the Chu State expand its strength?  This idea flashed through Zhang Qian¡¯s mind, but was immediately interrupted by more complicated things.The logistical supplement required for the 150,000 troops driven out by the enemy to fight the enemy decisively was enough to give him a headache.  (To be continued.)
