    Huang Zhong, the commander of the Chu army's left-wing infantry camp, had his right eye beating non-stop since he got up in the morning and set out. This made him quite uneasy and he always felt that something was going to happen.  Last night, the cavalry responsible for protecting his flank rushed to the right wing camp. Originally, according to his intention, he wanted to wait for the cavalry to return before breaking out of camp and moving forward. However, the order from the Chinese army camp was very urgent. According to intelligence,  The main force of the Han Army's First Army was also advancing towards Wuguan. In order to recapture Wuguan and open a channel for the return of the 200,000 troops, Qu Wan could only issue an order for them to advance at full speed.  If Han reinforcements are allowed to arrive first, Wuguan will become an insurmountable and dangerous barrier.  Huang Zhong knew the danger of Wuguan very well. At first, he didn't quite understand why Zhang Qian lost the natural danger of Wuguan in a short period of time. But in the past few days, intelligence came one after another about the latest weapons of the Han army.  , artillery, began to appear in their field of vision, and the Qin army, which had been following them, also generously shared this information with them.  Because the Qin army also owned several such artillery pieces, which were said to have been captured from the Han army.  Hearing the description of the power of this kind of artillery, Huang Zhong couldn't help but feel very upset for a moment. Since the rise of the Han Dynasty, novel inventions have come one after another. The two countries of Qin and Chu, behind them, are exhausted and unable to  After catching up, they finally obtained gunpowder and made a clay pot grenade. They changed it to a trebuchet to throw explosive packets. I thought that the Han Dynasty was nothing more than this, but the reality was always disappointing. The advent of artillery made Qin  Chu was thrown far back again.  The Han army has always been at the forefront of military inventions. They have been constantly changing the pattern of war in the world.  For a veteran like Huang Zhong, it is very disgusting. What he is familiar with and relies on is now completely behind the times, the new war model.  Make it impossible for him to understand and grasp.  Forty thousand troops broke out of camp and advanced. The team was like a long snake, advancing along the road under Yangjiao Ridge, crossing Yangjiao Ridge and moving forward dozens of miles. Even if they entered the Wuguan area, the war would officially begin.  The vanguard force was now invisible. Sandwiched in the middle was the logistics and baggage force, while the rear army was still packing up the camp.  Crossing Yangjiao Ridge.  It's safe.  The Han cavalry unit that had been watching him on the side passed through his guarded area and suddenly appeared on Bai Xizhong's side. Huang Zhong could imagine Bai Xizhong's anger at this moment. Maybe he would wait until he joined forces with General Qu.  After that, the first thing the guy did was to sue himself.  It should be safe today. He reached out and pressed his right eyelid that kept beating. Huang Zhong thought in his heart that the Han cavalry fought with Bai Xizhong most of the night yesterday.  They are humans, not gods, and they also need to rest.  What I have to do is to pass through Yangjiao Ridge as soon as possible.  Hundreds of thousands of Han troops suddenly launched an all-out attack on Chu, but the main force of Chu was isolated in Qin.  This situation made Huang Zhong uneasy. At least in terms of grand strategy, Chu State had already lost everything. The Han people planned this strategy.  It was definitely not a temporary idea, it must have been planned for a long time, but Chu State knew nothing about it.  He even thought that the Han Dynasty would deal with the Qin State first, and then target the Chu State after destroying the Qin State.  The Chu State will use this rare buffer time to continuously strengthen its own power, so that Chu and Han can confront each other from north to south and compete for hegemony in the world.  It is for this reason that an army of 200,000 troops suddenly attacked the Qin State. Now it seems that the Han people even calculated the Chu State's reaction clearly. This kind of thinking is really scary.  Can Chu win this battle?  If they lose, Chu State will cease to exist.  Huang Zhong, who was thinking with his head down, didn't notice the post he had set up on Yangjiao Ridge, waving the flag desperately. It wasn't until the deputy general beside him reminded him with a look of horror that he suddenly raised his head.  On the top of the mountain, the big flag danced desperately, and then, the shrill horns also came over, from the Yangjiao Ridge downwards, and instantly reached his rear troops.  This is a warning that there is an enemy attack.  The blood on Huang Zhong¡¯s face suddenly faded away. Enemy, where did the enemy come from?  But then, the tremors on the ground made him understand that the incoming enemy was cavalry, Han cavalry.  How did they first attack Bai Xizhong and then come to their side in one night?  Perhaps Bai Xizhong was simply deceived by the enemy. The harassment from a small group of enemies made him mistakenly believe that a large group of cavalry was attacking, and thus sent a rescue message, causing the cavalry on his side to rush over desperately.  The tremors on the ground became more intense, and the thunderous sound of horse hooves hitting the ground was heard. Huang Zhong could not think about anything for a long time, "Form up, form up to meet the enemy. Cover the baggage and the vanguard!" He roared loudly.  .  If the rear army cannot withstand the impact of the enemy's cavalry and is on the march,It is self-evident what the consequences will be for the baggage troops and vanguard troops under the attack of the cavalry. Huang Zhong felt his scalp explode when he thought of this result.  The rear troops lined up as fast as they could in their lives, but the terrible thing is that their long-range weapons and other heavy weapons that can restrain the cavalry attack have already been packed up at this moment. As the baggage troops set off, they can now be used to resist  All that the enemy attacked were the spears in their hands and the much less powerful bows and arrows.  The reaction of the Chu army was already very fast. At least the time it took for them to form a military formation was a little faster than Huang Zhong expected. However, Huang Zhong was not happy at all, because at this time, he had already seen the mountains and plains.  The attacking Han cavalry, the Xiongnu independent cavalry division, and the Donghu independent cavalry division, these two Han cavalry all appeared in front of him.  "Archers, get ready!" The officer's hoarse roar came from the team. Huang Zhong's face was pale. He stood under the flag of the Chinese army, holding his saber tightly in his hand, able to block the enemy's most ferocious attack.  Wave Pounce This is crucial.  Originally, this time should be the time for heavy weapons such as ballista cannons to launch a suppressive attack, but now, there is nothing.  With a crashing sound, a rain of arrows flew out from the military formation, and shot like raindrops at the oncoming Han cavalry. This diffuse power was not too powerful for the cavalry.  Unless an arrow hits a vital point, the opponent can lose combat effectiveness. Otherwise, it is not unusual in every battle to see cavalrymen with more than a dozen arrows still charging.  Aguyong rushed to the front again, but this time, he was not wielding his sword, but holding a grenade in his hand and a torch in his other hand, hanging on his waist.  Seven or eight of the same grenades were picked up.  Agu Yong took this job and selected hundreds of cavalry with strong arms and good armor. They rushed at the front of the team. The Han cavalry seemed to be rushing over from all over the mountains and plains. In fact, the cavalry at the front was  The hundreds of soldiers and the large army behind them were at least within a stone's throw of each other.  Agu Yong lowered his head and galloped forward on his horse. From time to time, clanging sounds came from the sound of arrows hitting him in the air. However, the opponent's arrows could hardly break through his own armor. As Agu Huai'en,  My son, it is not difficult for him to get a high-end product for him.  There was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Some unlucky brothers were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, or their horses were hit by arrows and threw the cavalry off. However, now was not the time to care about this problem. Aguyong did not raise his head at all.  Looking at it, he just kept accelerating and accelerated. He didn't hear the sound of the bed crossbow tearing the air, and there was no attack from the stone cannon or trebuchet falling from the sky, which made Aguyong very happy.  If there was such a thing, his casualties would definitely increase exponentially.  Fifty steps, Aguyong could even see the frightened face of the enemy behind the formation. He lit the grenade in his hand, straightened up on his horse, roared, and threw the grenade vigorously.  With little bits of firelight, the grenade drew a wonderful curve in the air and fell towards the Chu army's formation.  At the same time, Agu Yong straightened up and his chest was shaken. An arrow hit the armor on his chest. There was a loud shock and a pain in his chest. However, the good armor on his body still saved his life.  The feathered arrow was embedded in the armor, but it could no longer move forward. It was obvious that the person who shot this arrow must be a good archer.  Not daring to neglect, Agu Yong rode his horse in a small arc, keeping his horse at a distance of forty to fifty steps, and passed in front of the Chu army's formation. He kept reaching out to take off the grenade on his waist and lit it.  , throw it out.  When he threw the third one, the rumbling sound of explosions kept coming. Hundreds of grenades kept exploding in the Chu army's formation. As blood and flesh flew everywhere, the Chu army's dense attack  The military formation was blown to pieces. When faced with such a powerful weapon, the tighter the military formation, the greater the damage.  When Agu Yong led his throwing team past the Chu army's formation, the Chu army's formation had completely collapsed. The Han cavalry who rushed up behind them shouted and rushed into the Chu army, which had lost the ability to resist.  Among the Chu troops, they waved their weapons and slaughtered the Chu troops who were stunned by the bombing.  The ghostly look on Gu Li's face was particularly dazzling under the sunlight. After fighting her way out of the Chu army at the rear, she did not stop at all, but continued forward, targeting the baggage that was passing through Yangjiao Ridge.  force.  Huang Zhong swayed, but in just a few breaths, his rear troops were killed and routed.  It¡¯s over!  He lamented in his heart (To be continued.)
