    On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Bai Xizhong, the pioneer of the Chu army, led 50,000 people to Yingchuan County. They originally thought they would encounter resistance from the Han army here, because along the way, they had driven away the Han army's scouts many times. Yingchuan  The county town was only separated from the mainland of the Han Kingdom by a river, but to his surprise, not to mention not a single Han soldier was seen in the Yingchuan county town, not even a single commoner was seen in the city.pbttWithin the city  , empty and empty.  After sending multiple exploration teams into the city, Bai Xizhong realized that the opponent had abandoned Yingchuan County and retreated to Yingshui County on the other side of the Yingshui River.  This is understandable. Yingshui County is much smaller than Yingchuan County. It used to be the frontline fortress of the Han army against Tan Feng. Although it was only a county seat, it was built into a city similar to a military fortress.  Everything is prepared for war. Compared with Yingchuan County, Yingshui County, which is much smaller, is naturally much more relaxed in terms of guarding. Moreover, this is also a last resort for the Han army, which is seriously short of troops.  choose.  At night, Bai Xizhong finally confirmed that the Meihua Division of the Third Division of Yang Dasha's First Army in Wuguan was stationed in Yingshui County.  It seems that the Han army was aware of the Chu army's actions, and since they had no troops to send, they could only divide their troops from Wuguan.  This made Bai Xizhong sneer. Because of the terrain of Wuguan, the Chu army could not do anything to him. However, Yingshui County is not Wuguan. Apart from a river, there is no other place to rely on. Now the Chu army's logistics are in Qin  With the supplement of people and sufficient food and weapons, is it still not possible to capture a small Yingshui County?  "Capture Yingshui County and capture Mei Hua alive!" Bai Xizhong laughed and told the generals under his command. Mei Hua's identity was unusual. His father was a high-ranking official of the Han Dynasty, and one of his brothers was a confidant of the King of Han. If he could be captured alive, then  The significance is not ordinary.  It¡¯s a cold December night in the wild.  But it was not that easy. After repeatedly confirming that there was no ambush in the city, and at the request of many generals, Bai Xizhong finally ordered the entire army to move to Yingchuan County.  Since the Han army gave themselves this big gift, there is no need to be polite. The warm city can keep the soldiers' morale high, and.  Keeping vigilance in the city can also prevent sneak attacks by the Han people.  Although separated by a river, it is impossible to sneak over and attack the Chu army, but there is a city wall between them, which is much more reliable than a thin fence.  The noisy Chu army moved into the city at midnight.  The empty Yingchuan County City suddenly became lively, the lights were brightly lit, and it could be seen clearly across the Yingshui River.  Meihua was sitting in a fortress on the pier, warming her cold hands on a brazier in front of her while looking at Yingchuan County opposite.  Lanterns were hung on the top of the city.  Piles of bonfires were also lit on top of the city, and patrolling figures could be vaguely seen walking back and forth on the city wall.  "It's very warm in the city, but warmth can kill people." Looking at the fire in the distance, Mei Hua laughed coldly.  Time passed by, and both sides of the Yingshui River fell into a strange silence. But inside the fortress, Mei Hua was still sitting there. The charcoal fire in the brazier in front of her had already turned to ashes.  What temperature.  But he was still waiting for something.  In Yingchuan County, tens of thousands of Chu troops were exhausted after running around all night.  Finally, we entered a safe, peaceful, and warm city, and the entire city was still empty.  I randomly found a house and broke into it. Although it was messy, almost all the household items were missing. It seemed that the original residents left here in a hurry.  Most homes even have a lot of bacon and other supplies for the New Year.  This has made Chu Jun extremely happy for the past few months.  They have always lived a hard life. Even if they get supplies from the Qin army now, they can only fill their stomachs. Now they can actually pick up so many good things, how can they not be overjoyed.  So in the empty city, smoke rose from the chimneys of countless houses, and the Chu soldiers began to prepare a steaming meal for themselves in the houses they occupied.  After eating and drinking enough, sleepiness will naturally come over you.  By early morning, except for the security forces on top of the city, the whole city was already snoring.  In a firewood shed in a courtyard, a pile of burned ashes suddenly spread to both sides without any wind. After a moment, a black head suddenly appeared on the ground, with two hands raised.  Holding a board, two bright eyes glanced around. The board was gently put aside, and the figure came out. Then, he pulled out a package from the hole in the ground.  He quietly walked out of the woodshed and walked to the door of the main house with his waist bent.  The door to the main room was closed tightly, and loud snoring came from inside. He gently opened the door, and the black shadow suddenly grinned. In the room, Chu Jun was hiding on the ground, wrapped around the master of the house.  discarded in the houseThe quilts, clothes, etc. were in the middle of the house, and the charcoal fire on a brazier was still burning.  The shadow took some time to count, and there were probably nearly thirty Chu soldiers crowded in the room.  "That's enough, that's enough!" He took off the package he had been carrying from his shoulders, raised his hand with a smile, threw the package onto the burning brazier, then turned around and walked toward Ikkaku  He ran and huddled his body tightly together.  The package fell on the brazier, and the splashing sparks woke up several Chu soldiers who were sleeping in front of the brazier. They sat up and looked sleepily at the package that was giving off a burnt smell on the brazier, and muttered:  : "What the hell?" This was the last word they said, because just when they uttered these words, there was a sudden earth-shaking explosion in the house. Inside the package, there was a solid  The package weighed several kilograms of explosives, and the explosives were also mixed with countless iron pieces and iron beads.  The house was filled with the sound of howling ghosts and wolves. This explosion caused most of the dozens of Chu soldiers in the house to see the King of Hell in their sleep. The huge air wave from the explosion blew away all the doors and windows of the main room.  Going out, a raging fire started burning in the main room. The others who were lucky enough to survive were mostly seriously injured. They were screaming and crawling towards the door using their hands and feet.  The black shadow hiding in the corner of the yard came out with a shimmering engineering shovel, waving the engineering shovel one by one, hacking all the Chu soldiers who were still alive in the house.  After doing all this, he threw the engineer shovel into the house with a smile. After thinking about it, he found a Chu soldier on the ground whose armor was still intact. He stripped off his armor and put it on himself.  , reached out to the corpse and wiped a few handfuls of blood onto his face, then picked up a Chu State knife and walked outside.  When there was a huge explosion in this room, almost the same explosion sounded in all directions in the entire Yingchuan County, and the entire Yingchuan County was immediately in chaos.  On the north bank of the Yingshui River, when the first explosion sounded, Mei Hua jumped up from her chair as if a spring had been installed, "It has begun, the war has begun, heavy artillery, fire for me, bombard Yingchuan County."  "Don't ask me where to attack, just hit the city and create more opportunities for the brothers in the city to let the stubborn Chu people know the specific situation." He ran to the top of the fort.  Standing upright, he looked at the previously peaceful Yingchuan County, where flames were shooting into the sky and explosions were happening one after another.  A loud bang sounded beside him, shaking him staggering and almost falling. A heavy artillery gun erupted from the muzzle, and a shell roared across the Yingshui River and fell towards Yingchuan County in the distance.  Within the city.  Immediately afterwards, more heavy artillery began to roar.  "This is the current war. Chu people, if you still don't really understand what a war with hot weapons is, then you are destined to pay the price with blood." Mei Hua chuckled: "Within the range of the cannon, there is no  No place is safe, and the city's defense is no longer safe. " Bai Xizhong was awakened by the sound of explosions in his sleep. When he rushed out of the room, he first thought it was the Han army on the other side.  He wanted to take advantage of his unsteady footing and catch him off guard, but when he heard the sound of countless explosions coming from the city, his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.  He rushed to the top of the city and looked at Yingchuan City. There were explosions from all directions. From time to time, he could see a ball of fire exploding from the ground, and then ignited into a raging fire.  The other side was indeed attacking. The heavy artillery shells crossed the Yingshui River and hit directly into Yingchuan County. Wherever the shells landed, there were also howls of ghosts and wolves. The Chu army in the city was stunned by the incoming blow.  Their heads turned because they couldn't find the enemy at all.  "There are spies in the city!" Bai Xizhong clenched his fists and stood at the top of the city. He could see clearly that the explosion in the city had no purpose or any focus at all. It was completely random. But because of this,  It also left him defenseless.  Forty to five percent of the artillery fired from the other side hit the former General Tan Feng's Mansion. When Ye Feng was stationed in Yingshui, he obtained these heavy artillery and obtained the exact location of General Tan Feng's Mansion through some businessmen, and then passed by  After many experiments, he obtained accurate ballistic data. He was originally planning to deliver a fatal blow to Tan Feng when the battle started. However, the development of the battle situation in Yingchuan County was beyond his expectation. This arrangement did not have any effect. Today  Mei Hua ordered to shoot at will, and the gunners naturally made it their main target. However, Bai Xizhong was lucky. He did not live in the best and most luxurious General's Mansion in the city, but lived on top of the city tower.  If he wants to set an example and prepare for the Han army's night attack, if he still lives somewhere, this round of artillery fire will be an iron necessity.?He was smashed to a pulp.  Bai Xizhong's face was ashen, and he felt bad all over.  (To be continued.)
