Chapter 1417: Han Banner World (One Hundred and Seven) Great Detour (Part 2)

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 return of the cavalry 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 First Army of the Han 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, was also very generous *zhu*zhu*dao*xiao* said ww.huzu 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 irritable for a moment. Since the rise of the Han Dynasty, novel inventions have come one after another. After catching up, I finally got gunpowder and made a clay pot grenade. I changed it to a trebuchet to throw explosive packets. I thought that the Han Dynasty was just like this, but people were always disappointed by the fact. The advent of artillery made everyone disappointed. Qin Chu was thrown far back again.

The Han army has always been at the forefront of military inventions, and 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.

The 40,000-strong army broke out of camp and moved forward. The team was like a long snake, advancing along the road under Yangjiao Ridge, crossing Yangjiao Ridge and moving forward for dozens of miles. Even after entering the Wuguan area, the war was about to officially start. 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 one 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 that guy did was to sue himself.

It should be safe today. He reached out and pressed his right eyelid that was beating constantly. 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 Han would definitely deal with Qin first.

Only after the Qin State is destroyed will the target be directed at the Chu 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 world hegemony.

It was 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 an enemy is coming.

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 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, it is self-evident what the consequences will be for the marching baggage troops and the vanguard troops under the impact of the cavalry. Huang Zhong feels like his scalp is exploding when he thinks 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 Chu army reacted very quickly, at least the time they formed the battle array was a few points faster than Huang Zhong expected, but Huang Zhong was not happy at all, because at this time, he had already seen the Han cavalry, the Xiongnu independent cavalry division, and the Donghu independent cavalry division rushing over from all over the mountains. The two Han cavalry all appeared in front of him.

"Archers, get ready!" The officers shouted hoarsely in the team. Huang Zhong's face was pale. He stood under the central army flag, holding his saber tightly in his hand. It was crucial to be able to block the enemy's fiercest first wave of attacks. Originally, this should be the time for heavy weapons such as bed crossbows and stone cannons to suppress the attack, but now, there is nothing.

With a bang, a rain of arrows flew out from the army formation, shooting at the rushing Han cavalry like raindrops. The power of this diffused arrow is not too great for the cavalry. Unless an arrow hits the vital point, the opponent will lose its combat effectiveness. Otherwise, the cavalry with more than a dozen arrows hanging on their bodies still charging. This kind of scene is not uncommon in every battle.

Aguyong rushed to the front again, but this time, he did not swing his saber, but held a grenade in one hand and a torch in the other hand. There were seven or eight similar grenades hanging on his waist.

Aguyong took this task and selected hundreds of cavalrymen with strong arms and put on good armor. They rushed to the front of the team. The Han cavalry seemed to rush over all over the mountains and plains, but in fact, the hundreds of soldiers at the front and the large troops behind them were at least one arrow away.

Aguyong lowered his head and rode his horse at full speed. From time to time, he heard the sound of ding-dong. It was the sound of arrows hitting him in the air. However, it was difficult for the opponent's arrows to break through his armor. As the son of Agu Huai'en, it was not difficult for his father to get him a set of high-end goods.

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from his ears. Some unlucky brothers were shot and fell off their horses, or the horses were shot and threw the cavalry off. However, now was not the time to care about this problem. Aguyong did not even look up to take a look. He just kept accelerating. He did not hear the sound of the bed crossbow tearing the air, and there was no attack from stone cannons or catapults falling from the sky, which made Aguyong very happy. If there were such things, his casualties would definitely increase exponentially.

Fifty steps, Aguyong could even see the terrified face behind the enemy army. He lit the grenade in his hand, stood up on the horse, roared, and threw the grenade in his hand with force. With a little spark of fire, the grenade drew a beautiful curve in the air and fell into the Chu army formation. At the same time, Aguyong, who stood up, felt a shock in his chest. An arrow hit the armor on his chest. With a loud bang, his chest hurt, but the good armor on his body still saved his life. The feather arrow was embedded in the armor, but it could no longer move forward. Obviously, the person who shot this arrow must be a good archer.

Not daring to neglect, Aguyong rode his horse in a small arc, keeping his warhorse at a distance of forty to fifty steps and passing in front of the Chu army formation. He kept reaching out to take off the grenade from his waist, ignited it, and threw it out.

When he threw the third one, the rumbling sound of explosions kept coming. Hundreds of grenades kept exploding in the Chu army formation. When blood and flesh flew everywhere, the dense Chu army formation was blown to pieces. When facing such powerful weapons, the tighter the formation, the greater the damage.

When Aguyong led his throwing team past the Chu army, the Chu army had completely collapsed, and the Han cavalry that followed closely shouted and rushed into the Chu army that had lost its ability to resist, waving their weapons and slaughtering the Chu army that was blown dizzy.

The ghost face on Guli's face was particularly dazzling under the sun. After killing her way out of the Chu army at the rear, she did not stop at all, but continued to move forward, aiming at the baggage troops passing through Yangjiaoling.

Huang Zhong's body was shaking, but after a few breaths, his rear guard troops were killed and defeated.

It's over! He sighed in his heart (to be continued.)
