Qinba Han River.

A towering Qinling blocks several mountains and rivers.

While Liu Bang was determined to defend the West City to the death, Qin Shenwu Hou Li Yuan quickly drew soldiers from Guanzhong County and Sanchuan County to enter the hinterland of Hanzhong from Chencang Road.

Han Xin, a general stationed north of the river, also received the order from Li Yuan. After handing over the command of the left-behind troops to Jiang Yu, he led his personal soldiers to rushed from Chidao to the Hanzhong front.

In addition to Han Xin, Feng Xuan, who was stationed in Lantian Pass, received the order from Li Yuan. However, he did not have to rush to Hanzhong for thousands of miles. Li Yuan's order was to lead Feng Xuan to directly attack from Baoxie Road and restrain a part of the Han army.

In early March, Li Yuan and Han Xin led more than 20,000 elite soldiers to go east along the Han River. Wherever the Qin army's flags went, the pavilions of various counties and pavilions were descending.

The towering mountains of Qinling Mountains blocked the cold current in the north. The spring flowers bloomed in Hanzhong County, and the mountains and fields were full of vitality. In sharp contrast, the mountain people living here were not covered in clothes and food. The quality of life was much better than Guanzhong, even the places where wars in Guandong were frequent are much better than here.

"This is the Han Kingdom under Liu Bang's rule. How could it be like this?"

Li Yuan led his army eastward, unconsciously wondering that no matter how he judged Liu Bang, the great Han Emperor in history, could still be considered a hero. The policy of rest and rest in the early Han Dynasty was also formulated in his hands. But now looking at the situation of the people in Hanzhong, it is obvious that Liu Bang's tax collection was too high.

The changes in the current situation are unpredictable. Just a year ago, when King Liu Bang of Han led his Western Expedition Chu army into Wuguankou Pass, the people here also welcomed the Qin army today, hoping that the days of suffering will pass quickly. They hoped that they could live a peaceful and peaceful new life like the people of Guanzhong.

What the people want.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat.

Looking at the surging Han River flowing eastward, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Liu Bang was in Hanzhong and Ba and Shu ruled for only one year, from being in the middle of the road to being in a new way, which was self-evident. This time, if the Qin State could not learn from Liu Bang's lessons, Liu Bang's ending today would be a witness in the near future.

March 27, the third year of the Qin Xinli period.

The Qin army arrived outside the western city, and the army set up camp to make pots and rice, cleaned up the siege equipment, and prepared to attack the city. The two old rivals of Qin and Han stood on the opposite side again. This time, the situation suddenly changed. The Qin army belonged to the attacking side, while the Han army became the attacking side.

Xicheng (this is the name of Han State, and Qin State is called Jinzhou. It is collectively called Xicheng for convenience of narrative).

It is now in the Ankang area, located in the southwest of Hanzhong County, leaning against the Qinling Mountains in the north and the Daba Mountains in the south. The Han River passes through the middle. Judging from the terrain, it belongs to the river valley basin on both sides of the north and south and at the bottom of the middle. The Qin army attacked from west to east. If they want to occupy the eastern part of Hanzhong County, they must seize the county town of Xicheng.

The domineering world.

Only martial arts.

After repeatedly using strategies, defeating the strong with weak and defeating the more with few, Li Yuan finally had the strength to defeat his opponents. This time, the forces of Qin and Han sides were 20,000 to 7,000. Liu Bang, who did not want to shake the good situation in Nanjun, tried his best to gather 7,000 Han soldiers to defend.

The next day.

The Qin army's central army tent, and the pre-military discussions are underway.

Compared with the practice of Li Yuan's life in front of the sand table, this time, Li Yuan handed over the command of the siege to Han Xin, and he was mainly responsible for coordinating the Qin army in Hanzhong.

"Mr. Li, the moat in Xicheng is irrigated by Han River. The deep central river is over the heads of two people. It is extremely difficult to fill soil and lay moats with cloth bags. It is better to cut huge trees to make bridges and lead them to the convenience of passage." Feng Xuan, the captain who was the first to take over the Qin army, looked excited and spoke loudly.

The first time he received the task of attacking was Liu Bang, the anti-Qin prince, who first entered Xianyang. Faced with such a strong opponent, Feng Xuan felt his blood boiling in his heart.

"It is feasible to log into a bridge. However, it is necessary to consider that if the enemy launches rockets from the city or burns down the wooden bridge and is ignited, our army will be in a dilemma." Han Xin said as he leaned over to observe the sand table terrain near Xicheng.

Creation makes people mess with them.

Han Xin, who was intended to join Liu Bang, the King of Han, has now become a general of the Qin army. Faced with the trust that Li Yuan had almost unconditionally retained, Han Xin felt a thrill in his heart.

This time, he had to show all his skills to everyone who underestimates him. Han Xin was a strong man, not a common man under his crotch.

"What are the good strategies for the general? Let's talk about it in detail?" Li Yuan smiled and asked. Since Han Xin said this, he must have thought of a countermeasure. What Li Yuan has to do now is to act like listening.

"Mr. Li, everyone, if you want to keep the wooden bridge from burning, you can cut down huge trees and soak them in the Han River and use wet wood to build them on the moat. In this way, even if the enemy has rockets, they will not do anything to me?" Han Xin continued.

"General Han, the last question is that our army's troops will be three times higher than the enemy's attacks this time. This is the number of strong attacks. What if it cannot be captured for a long time?" Wang Shang thought for a while and asked.

"General Wang said that our army's siege force is indeed not too far from the enemy, but the city of Xicheng is built based on water. The city wall on the west side is about one mile wide, and there are several places where we can choose to attack the city. In this way, our army can rely on its advantages in military strength to attack by several points, so as to distract the enemy's attention and realize our strategic idea of ​​forcing the city." Han Xin answered with confidence.

The pre-war dispute between Han Xin and Wang Shang was a form of discussion between Qin generals in this battle of Hanzhong. Li Yuan was rarely able to judge who was more credible as a central arbitrator. What made him happy was not only Han Xin's resourcefulness, but also Wang Shang's unwillingness to be outdone.

Han Xin only had one, but Wang Shang might have trained many. This is why Li Yuan trained young generals and schoolmen in the Qin army bit by bit.

In the future, the Qin army's opponents will no longer be Liu Bang, Xiang Yu or other princes. A few years later, Maodun's Huns' cavalry will go south again. In Lingnan, hundreds of thousands of former Qin generals stranded in Nanyue will be at the command of Zhao Tuo. I wonder if they will face the Qin army's swords and weapons.

The dawn is coming.

The Qin generals who had breakfast early began to prepare for the war. Ladders were neatly placed at the gate of the camp. The shiny swords in the soldiers' hands were shining with cold light, as if indicating that a bloody battle was about to begin.

"Dong, dun, dun——!"

The war drums were urging by waves of rapid drum beats, teams of Qin soldiers carried the wet wood fished out of the Han River, and more than ten people carried the dragging on their shoulders, and began to advance towards the moat of the West City.

"Yo, Yoo!"

Under the gravity of the wet wood, the Qin soldiers looked terrifying on their faces and blue veins on their foreheads. Next to them, teams of armored soldiers responsible for covering were raising wooden shields and raising them high towards the city wall to block the arrows that the Han army shot from the back.

"Da Qin, Da Qin!"

"Fight, fight!"

The Qin army's marquis, who were commanding the first formation, shouted at the top of his lungs. The hat, which was a little taller than ordinary soldiers, flashed strange light in the sun, which made them quickly become the targets of Han army archers.

Shoot the man and shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first.

Under the command of General Cao Shen and others, Liu Jun archers oppressed the Qin army's advance with sharp arrows. This was a long-distance contact battle before a war. After paying the price of four or five hundred casualties, the Qin army finally successfully mounted five sections of wet wood across the moat.

"Woo, woo, woo!" After seeing the auxiliary troops responsible for paving the road make progress, Han Xin ordered the horn of the battle for the entire army to attack the city walls.

At the same time, Cao Shen, the Han general who felt that the Qin army was approaching pressure, also issued emergency rescue orders to the city, hoping that the reserve troops would arrive as soon as possible and prepare to fight the Qin army to the death.

Li Zhongxiang hid his figure in the shadow of an infantry wooden shield, with a boxwood bow in his hand, a string on his left hand, and a sharp arrow was about to be launched, looking for a suitable target on the city wall.

Looking up from the bottom to the front, the Qin army's first-row warriors had crossed the moat, and teams of cloud ladders leaned against the city wall. The brave Guanzhong soldiers held a sword in one hand and climbed on one side of the cloud ladder with the other, and began to climb upwards with arrows and stones. In this process, the first-row warriors at the forefront were the biggest blows from the opponent.

"drink!"

Gan Yong shouted loudly, turned sideways hard, avoiding a piece of rolling wood that was smashed from his head. Then, before he could react on the city wall, he suddenly stepped up several steps, and his head was just level with the battlements on the city wall. This was the closest group of the five teams to climb the city first.

Gan Yong's name is much stronger than the nickname Liulang. This name also made Gan Liulang like it very much, not only because the word Yong represents ferocity and courage, but also because it was named Han Xin.

Li Zhongxiang had shot seven arrows in a row, each arrow made a rising Han army officer hate the battlefield. After observing the changes in the battlefield, he began to focus on taking care of the front of Gan Yong's ladder.

Just now, Gan Yong was able to climb up smoothly. In addition to his own bravery, he should also remember the credit on Li Zhongxiang's head. It was his accurate shooting time and time that made the Han army generals hesitate and dare not show their heads at the battlement, but could only blindly throw heavy objects such as rolling wood and other things down.

"Climb the city!"

When Han Xin saw Gan Yong's body appearing on the city wall from afar, he couldn't help but shout. Although they were far apart, Han Xin could still recognize Gan Yong's figure. His subordinates performed like this in the first battle, which made Han Xin feel excited.

Gan Yong jumped up, and as soon as he stepped onto the head of Xicheng City, he felt a strong wind blowing on both sides of the left and right sides. This was the Han generals who had realized the truth and were fighting back desperately.

"It only takes one moment to defend this corner of the city wall!" Gan Yong shouted and stepped closer to one side, and at the same time stabbed the bronze heavy sword into the panicked Han Zhu's body.
