On the Nanhe Provincial Straight Road, a grain convoy guarded by 20,000 troops was moving forward slowly.
The food guard general and his personal guards patrolled the team back and forth, and loudly encouraged his men: "Brothers, work harder and get to the woods ten miles ahead before dark. Then everyone can have a good rest."
One night, you can light a fire and make food, have a hearty meal, and be energetic before setting out on the road."
Xu Shi, the food guard general, was usually very kind to his subordinates. After hearing his words, the whole army immediately burst out with brute force and pushed the food truck for two or three miles.
The forest got much closer, and then the speed gradually slowed down.
One of the Qianhus even joked: "General, I heard from the commander that there are many bandits along this road, and the Qin officials who escaped with their lives and were like lost dogs are the most vicious, but on the next road
When I came here, I didn’t even see half of the bandits, which is really a bit disappointing for me.”
The food guard general said angrily: "Lunzi Kong, what are you talking about? Do you really think those bandits are fools and come here to die? We have an army of 20,000 people. How can the bandits dare to be so arrogant?"
Qianhu, who was called Kong Lunzi, screamed: "That's not necessarily true. They say that people die for money and birds die for food. Maybe there will be hungry bandits who rush over without their lives."
When Kong Lengzi said this, the food guard general suddenly felt uneasy for some reason and asked his personal guard: "Has the scout battalion returned?"
The guard replied without knowing why: "General Qi, I came back two quarters of an hour ago."
The food guard immediately said secretly: "No, there is something wrong."
Just when he was about to react, a deafening shout of death suddenly rang out, and from the woods five or six miles away, countless cavalry wearing black armor emerged from the woods, formed a sharp formation, and rushed over.
The food guard general immediately said: "Qin army, how come there are so many Qin armies? Haven't all the Qin armies in Nanhe Province been wiped out by the king?"
Then the Qin army that rushed over had no idea of explaining to him, and slammed into the grain transport pair, knocking the rebels who could not evade and turning them upside down, causing countless casualties in a short time.
However, this was only the beginning. The subsequent Qin Army cavalry took advantage of the grain transport team by surprise and smashed it into pieces and divided it into small pieces.
At this time, many soldiers came to their senses. As they ran, they shouted: "It's the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers are coming to kill us. Run quickly."
However, their behavior was destined to be in vain. The black cavalry rushing towards them seemed to be endless, surrounding them.
There was a trace of despair in the eyes of the rebel soldiers.
Fortunately for the soldiers of the food protection team, the Qin army did not directly kill them, but shouted loudly: "Those who kneel down and surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will be killed without mercy."
The rebel soldiers, who were ordinary warriors and peasants, were faced with an amnesty. Driven by the desire to survive, they quickly threw their weapons aside and knelt down to wait for the trial.
However, the food guard general was unwilling to be captured like this. Instead, he called to the guards around him and shouted: "Follow me and fight out."
It's not that he is very loyal to Chen She, but that his parents and family's furniture is in Chen County and they are equivalent to hostages. If the news of his surrender spreads back, the whole family will be implicated to death.
There were so many Da Qin cavalry ambushing them that the food guard general and his bodyguards rushed out countless times until all the bodyguards died in front of him. He was exhausted of his own energy and could not break out.
The Qin army seemed to know that the food protector's identity was extraordinary, and they never killed him. Instead, they waited until his true energy was exhausted before seizing the opportunity to knock him off his horse. Then several soldiers pressed forward regardless of their own safety and killed him.
It was tied up tightly.
Then the cavalry separated a road, and a general of the Qin army stepped forward, picked up the food guard in his hand, took him towards the woods, and finally threw him in front of a young general.
The food guard general looked up and saw that there were countless Qin troops on standby in the forest. Including those who attacked him, the number exceeded 200,000.
He really couldn't figure out why there were so many Qin troops here. Could it be that Zhou Shuai was defeated on the front line and the Qin army had already attacked?
Impossible. Zhou Shuai led an army of 1.2 million people this time. How could he be defeated?
In the eyes of the food guard general, the general who had just carried him saluted the young military general and said, "Thanks to General Han Hongfu, this battle is a great victory. All the enemy troops surrendered and the enemy general was captured alive. Please give instructions to the general."
Yes, the young general was Han Xin, who personally led the team to ambush the grain transport team.
I saw a smile on Han Xin's face and said: "Thank you for your hard work. When I go back, I will definitely thank you in front of coach Lin Ze."
The general said with joy on his face: "I would like to thank General Han here."
Han Xin nodded, and then ordered: "Go and capture all the officers of this army, hold them separately, torture them, and then take off the uniforms of the enemy soldiers. I have other uses for this officer."
The Qin general saluted Han Xin and left quickly.
I saw Han Xin looking at the food guard general with a smile: "General, if you don't want to suffer the physical pain, please cooperate and answer a few of my questions seriously. As long as I am satisfied, I dare not say anything else.
At least the general's life was saved."
I heard General Hu Liang ask out of nowhere: "What do you want to ask?"
Han Xin smiled and said: "How many defenders are there in Yangzhai City and what is the strength of the defenders?"
The food guard general looked shocked and said, "You want to attack Yangzhai City?"
Han Xin looked at him with a smile and silence.
The food guard general quickly returned to normal, shook his head and said: "There are 100,000 defenders in Yangzhai City, all of whom are elites. It is impossible for you to attack."
Han Xin smiled and said: "One hundred thousand elites? It's really not that easy, so we can only rely on the generals for help."
The expression on the guard's face changed again and again, and he blurted out: "You want me to pretend to open the city gate for you? Don't even think about it."
Han Xin said with a look of regret on his face: "General, why should you ask for trouble? Since you have fallen into my hands, why don't you cooperate?"
Hu Liang turned his head to the side and stopped talking.
Han Xin waved his hand, and several personal guards came forward and dragged the food guard into the woods.
Half an hour later, Han Xin got what he wanted and ordered: "Pass this general's order, 20,000 soldiers put on rebel uniforms and go forward under the banner of the rebels, and 80,000 soldiers follow ten miles behind, followed by
I will march towards Yangzhai."
…
In Yangzhai City, the city gates are closed, and even because of the winter, there are not many soldiers on the city walls. There are only hundreds of people chatting, stamping their feet, and exhaling from time to time to warm their hands.
Suddenly, horseshoes were heard in the distance, and an army of about 20,000 galloped forward, stopping a hundred meters away from the city gate. Then a military general shouted forward: "This general is Kong Leng, a subordinate of Zhou Shuai, and I have been ordered to come here."
Escort the grain and grass and open the city gate quickly."
The city guard commander asked someone to put down the hanging basket and shouted: "If you come, please put the official seal and documents into the basket. After they are verified to be correct, I will let you in."
The general followed the instructions and took out a few items and threw them into the basket.
After the hanging basket was lifted up, the general who defended the city checked it and found that it was correct, so he ordered: "Open the city gate."
Soon the gates of Yangzhai City were opened wide, and the entire city was displayed in front of the army outside the city like an undefended virgin.
I saw the general who called himself Kong Leng and immediately ordered: "Send the signal and enter the city."
The guards behind him immediately took out the signal tube, lit it, and threw it somewhere. After the army rushed into the city, a plume of thick smoke rose into the sky and could be seen in the distance.
After the army rushed into the city, they skillfully controlled the city gate in their own hands. At the same time, they divided four thousand people into two teams and headed towards the city wall.
At this moment, the commander of the city defense finally felt that something was wrong and said loudly: "What are you doing?"
All the troops in front of them drew their weapons and surrounded and killed them.
At the same time, smoke and dust rose outside the city, and 80,000 Qin troops rushed into the city easily.
The sound of fighting started, and after a full hour, it slowly weakened.
At this point, Yangzhai City fell into the hands of Han Xin.
